-Chapter Seven-
Alice and Rose were practically waiting at the door to hear about Edward's car ride with me. I said we talked, and it was a little awkward, but that was it. I didn't tell them about the Jake thing. I figured I could save it for another day.
"So did you kiss?" Alice asked. I blushed. There was no getting around the truth with them, was there?
"No," I admitted painfully. She saw the look on my face and called, "Edward!"
My eyes widened and I shook my head, mouthing the word "No!"
Edward, Jasper, and Emmett came into Alice's huge room. Emmett had brought a big bottle. I knew exactly what we were playing.
"Is 'Edward' a code word for, "Hey guys, let's play spin the bottle!" or what?" I asked. Alice laughed.
"Yes, obviously!" she answered back joyfully. I groaned, and then nodded.
"First let's play truth or dare!" Emmett said enthusiastically. I laughed.
"I thought we were playing spin the bottle?" I asked cautiously.
"Not yet!" Alice chirped in her high voice.
I sighed. Rolling my eyes, I sat down between Edward and Rosalie. I saw Edward literally stiffen at my presence. I almost cried.
Rosalie started. "Jazz, truth or dare?"
"Hmm…dare." Jasper said, a mischievous smile across his face.
"I dare you to run through the forest, naked, right across the trails," Rose said, her smile mirroring his. Jasper gasped, then nodded, the smile returning to his face.
"Is it always this way?" I whispered to Edward.
"No way," he replied. "It's worse."
I giggled, and we watched Jasper walk out of the room.
Emmett, Rose, and Alice went outside to watch Jasper run. I stayed inside, and Edward said he'd keep me company.
"You never answered my question," he said quietly after it was very quiet for at least 10 minutes.
"Which one?" I asked, knowing fully what question he was talking about.
"Who you like," he replied carefully. His eyes were attentive to my own. I looked down, blushing.
"You know them well," I explained. "They have green eyes that haunt my dreams, unusual hair that falls in their eyes, they're pale, paler than me, and they are beautiful. They understand me, yet they confuse me. They remind me of all the colors, yet at times, they're colorless." I touched my hand to his face. "Have you guessed yet?"
He smiled his crooked smile. "Yes. I know them, and I've known them since birth, literally." He leaned toward me, his arms slipping around my waist, my arms flying to his neck. His soft, warm lips touched my own, and he sweetly kissed me.
The feeling was amazing, because I knew he loved me now, and he knew I loved him. There was no one there to stop us, or snap pictures of us, or tell me I wasn't good enough for him. No one to snatch away our moment.
He pulled away, slowly, softly, and I sighed a breath of pure joy. That was bliss. All of it.
He was the only thing in the world, now, and I would forever know that. He loved me.
Edward loved me.
Edward loves me.
ME!
He smiled again, somewhat softer. His voice shook me, it was so much more beautiful.
"I love you, too, Bella," he said in his soft, velvet voice. And then the gang walked in the room.
"Oh boy, was that hilarious!" Emmett boomed. He was laughing. Edward and I sprang apart, and his hand gripped mine now. Rose and Alice looked at each other and raised their eyebrows. So this was their plan?
It worked perfectly.
"So," Jasper said. "I choose…" Jasper turned to Edward. "Edward," he said in a sickly sweet voice, his smile once again mischievous.
"Alright then," Edward laughed.
"Truth or dare?" Jasper asked in a knowing, yet serious voice.
"Dare, naturally."
"I dare you to kiss Bella for three minutes."
He laughed. "No problem."
Edward brought me to his, his lips crashing against mine. His tongue asked for entrance, and I allowed it wholeheartedly. Our tongues fought for dominance when I heard a timer ring.
"You two got pretty hot and heavy right there!" Emmett bellowed. "Looks like little Eddie better not get near your room, Alice!"
Alice laughed in her tinkering laugh. "I guess so!"
I blushed, and Edward wiped his thumb on my cheek, making me blush even more.
He grinned, then looked toward Emmett. I nodded.
"So, Emmett," he said, his grin what Jasper's had been. "Truth or dare?"
"DARE!! DARE!! DARE!!" Emmett yelled. I covered my ears. Everyone laughed when Edward said, "I dare you to go flirt with Jessica…with no shirt, skinny jeans, and you hair must be WET!"
I laughed. "Yeah, like he won't just have sex with her."
"Probably," Emmett agreed. "How long?"
"Half hour."
Emmett did everything. We all followed him into the local restaurant that apparently this Jessica worked at. He looked sexy, even I had to admit…although, and Edward was now my…
I sighed. I didn't really know if he considered himself to be my boyfriend, but I would love it if he did. I mean, he kissed me. And…Alice says he likes me. But is it true? How could someone so beautiful, so extraordinary, like me? Plain Jane, ugly, Bella?
Jessica leaned in towards Emmett, from what I could see, and she whispered something to him. He smiled, chuckling, when Edward's watch beeped, and Rose got up, came over to Emmett, grabbed his face, and made out with him. I laughed. Alice, Jasper, Edward and I got up, all of us laughing our asses off. Jessica's mouth was a little O, and she looked like she was about to cry. Emmett then leaned down and kissed her on the cheek, and told her our game. She nodded, and then ran back behind the counter into the employee restrooms.
I tugged on Edward's sleeve. "Someone should go talk to her," I said, immediately concerned.
"Bella, she's always flirting with him. She actually wants him like…" he trailed off. Edward shook his head, then finished in a whisper. "Like I want you."
I smiled. "Same here."
Edward leaned down to kiss my head, and soon enough Alice was wrenching my hand out of his and pulling me back to her Porsche.
"Oh, my goodness. Did he already kiss you before the dare?" Alice asked excitedly.
"Maybe," I answered slyly.
"Oh my gosh!" she screeched. "Edward's got a girlfriend!" She yelled, skipping around the parking lot. People started to stare, and I mouthed, "Don't worry," in their direction. Then Alice started clapping her hands in time. Then I heard a manly girl scream from across the parking lot where Emmett's Jeep was.
"OH! MY GOSH!" Emmett squealed. "EDWARD LOVES BELLA! AND THEY'RE DATING!!! EDWARD AND BELLA SITTING IN A TREE, K-I-S-S-I-N-G, FIRSTY COMES LOVE, SECONDY COMES MARRIAGE, AND SOON THEY'LL PUT THE BABY IN THE BABY CARRIAGE!!"
Edward shook his head, laughing at his brother. I blushed furiously, and Edward came over and kissed me on the mouth. It seemed my cheeks got redder, and the Cullens (excluding Edward) and the Hales all oohed and ahhed. Some of the people in the parking lot sighed.
When he pulled away, I said, "Finished?"
"Not even close," he replied softly.
I smiled. It seemed New York was getting better every day.
