Chapter 7.
The Explanation
"I'm upset with you Edward." I said once we were back in the hotel room.
"And why might that be my love?" Edward smiled and sat me down on my bed, his arms wrapped around me.
"I won."
"I'm not seeing the problem, dear."
"You made me win both showcases. I guess it's not enough that I have a shiny new Corvette that I don't want, but I also have four vacations to go on!"
Edward looked slightly upset. "You don't want your Corvette?"
"No, I don't. It's a disaster waiting to happen and you know how I feel about you buying me things." Edward looked like he was going to protest. "And yes, you did technically buy it for me because you told me how much the whole stupid showcase cost."
Edward kissed the side of my neck. "Do you really think I'd let you get hurt in that car?" He breathed.
"No. But, I still don't want it…my car is perfectly fine."
Edward made a face like, yeah right. "Well Alice will be sad. We picked this day for a reason you know."
I rolled my eyes. "Only you and Alice would be capable of taking all the fun out of the Price is Right. Let me guess, you chose this day to be on the show because of the Corvette and the trips and you guys thought, oh this car will just be perfect for Bella even though she won't want it and she'll be angry at us for making her win all of this stuff she doesn't really want but we're going to torment her anyway, right?"
Edward kissed me again, "precisely. And if you don't want that car, I'm sure Rosalie or Emmett would love it. You saw them looking at it."
"Yeah, I'll give it to Emmett; he'll have a nice little sporty car then."
Edward chuckled. "If you say so." He began to slowly lay me down on my back, kissing me.
"Wait, Edward," I pushed him to no avail.
"What, my dearest Bella?" He breathed.
"How did I even get up on stage, my audition sucked."
Edward chuckled again, "you'll hate me."
"No I won't, just tell me."
"You promise you won't get mad." He said staring into my eyes.
"…um…sure…I promise."
"We wanted you to have the best possible time on the show and we all knew that you would never want to be on that stage by your own doing so we simply paid the producers large sums of cash and voila, you're on the stage. That's how we got in so fast too. Give the people large sums of money so we don't have to stand out in the sun." He smiled.
I actually was a little mad. "Wait, so you paid people to get me up on stage?!"
"Yep." He could see my face getting redder and angrier. "Hey, you promised you wouldn't get angry." He smiled and kissed my lips.
"Well, I wasn't expecting that." I breathed as he let me come up for air.
"You're not honestly mad are you? It's just a car and some trips." I gave him a reproachful look. "Tell you what; the TV will belong to everyone. It will just be at the new house. The money will go into the general, Cullen bank account so anyone can use it. The car, if you really want to, can be Emmett's and those trips, one can go to Alice and Jasper, one can go to Emmett and Rosalie, one can go to Carlisle and Esme and the other one can be ours. The rest of the prizes the whole family can just share, okay?"
"Fine." I huffed.
"Good." He smiled and continued to kiss every inch of skin he could. I kissed back and before I realized what was going on both of our shirts were off and Edward gave me my one condition before changing me.
AN: Sorry it's short but I just wanted Bella to have this conversation about how she was upset for them letting her win all of this stuff, basically being unreasonable Bella. I also wanted to explain a little how she got onstage and how they got in so quickly.
Little side note, when this scene is going on, the rest of the Cullens are hunting.
Got a little more graphic there towards the end, I know. Just so you're not wondering, no, Edward hasn't bitten her yet, and no she is not going to have a baby.
Hope you like it, please R&R!
