Chapter 6
Bella POV
I woke up, just as we were pulling into the garage, feeling strangely refreshed. There was know way I would be getting back to sleep any time soon.
"Movie Night!" Alice announced, bouncing from the car to the house. I stayed in the car, not quite woken up enough to deal with Alice's over enthusiasm.
"It won't be that bad." Jasper told me. He must have been reading my emotions again. That skill could get annoying, but I loved all the confidence boosts he gave me.
"I hate horror movies even more then chick flicks, and Edward thought he was doing me a favour stealing all her movies." I blushed, feeling embarrassed that with everything in my life I still got scared by horror movie. I don't know why I was telling Jasper this, I hadn't told anyone. He was just so easy to talk to.
"Don't worry, I'll protect you from all the psycho killers." He smiled at me as he said this, and I knew he meant it.
I tried to come up with a witty response, but the second I looked into his eyes I lost my whole train of thought.
They were, of course topaz coloured, like Edward's but they were more gold, almost a honey colour. They were also deeper, more emotional. I felt like I could see his soul looking to his eyes, they told me everything. I just kept staring, unable to look away. Jasper smiled again and I saw the smile reach his eyes.
"What the hell are you two still doing in the car? You had better not be thinking about leaving again or so help me, I will take you both to the Mall of America, and you won't see outside for days."
Alice's threat brought me back to earth and as I unclipped my seatbelt I heard Jasper open the door for me.
I smiled as I climbed out, trying me best not to trip.
"Thanks Jazz." I headed to the house cursing myself. Jazz? That's Alice's name for him, what was I doing? He paused for a second, but followed me into the house. I snuck a look back, hoping he wasn't to upset but he had a huge smile on his face.
I felt so humiliated. As if calling him Jazz wasn't enough, I completely lost my self when I looked into his eyes. I am pretty sure he dazzled me. No, he can't of. Surely no one but Edward would dazzle me, right? Crap, I forgot to call Edward!
I went to find a phone so I could prove to him I was still alive.
Edward POV
"Chillax Bro!"
I growled at Emmett, and went back to my pacing.
"Good thing that boy is immortal, or he would defiantly die young with the amount of time he spends stressing."
I growled at him again and tried to block everyone out of my head. Bella had promised she would call me by 5pm, and it was already half past.
What if something happened? It was Bella, something always happened. If Jasper took her on his motorbike I would kill him. A motorbike is not suitable for a human, especially not my human! I was just about to call the hospital to see if she was in the emergency room when my phone finally rang.
Smack that all on the floor
Smack that give me some more
Smack that 'till you get sore
Smack that oh-oooh!
"Bella?" I almost screamed into the phone.
"Yeah, sorry I'm calling late, I feel asleep." Came her timed voice
"You're ok then? Nothing happened?"
"I'm just fine Edward" She sounded slightly irritated with my questioning but I ignored it. She doesn't know what is best for her, not like I do anyway.
"You're sure you alright?"
"Yes!"
"Good, then could you hold on for one second."
With out waiting for a reply, a held the phone as far away as possible.
"EMMETT!! You changed my ring tone again!!" I bellowed at him.
"Damn, I was hoping you had forgotten. Well, I think I smell I bear, gotta run!" He took off at vampire speed. I could have caught him, but I decided to get him later, it was more fun letting him run around scared.
"Sorry about that love."
"That ok, what did he change you ring tone to?"
"Don't worry about it love" I wasn't going to tell her that Emmett had decided that should be her theme song.
"Alright, well I gotta run. Alice is planning a movie night."
"Your welcome for taking all her movies" I smiled, I knew Bella hated chick flicks.
"Yeah… Thanks for that. I speak to you later, love you."
She's gone, that's odd. She usually hated getting off of the phone. She sounded different when she thanked me, almost sarcastic. I must be over thinking it, she must be grateful. She is probably just overwhelmed at how well I know her, and how thoughtful I am. That must be it. I put it out of my mind and took off after Emmett.
Bella POV
Hanging up, I was still slightly irritated with Edward. He thinks he knows what's beset for me, but what he doesn't see is that I don't always want what is best for me. I used to have Jake to escape to and have fun with. I could just be myself, with out worrying about what I am doing every second. Now I don't even have that and Edward doesn't see that I need a break every now and then.
I walked into the lounge room to see it had completely changes. Alice had but down the metal shutters over the glass wall, and covered all of the other windows so it would have been pitch black if the TV hadn't been on. She had also pushed most of the couches together to make a huge bed-like thing in the middle of the room.
"Bout time Bells, I have the music from the DVD menu memorised, and it is driving me nuts." Jasper sent a death glare to the TV and I had to laugh.
I started to walk into the room, but hesitated, I wasn't sure if Alice had created the space for her and Jasper or not. I didn't want to intrude. But if they were expecting me to sit with them I didn't want to look rude.
Before I could make a decision I felt a tugging around my waste, all of a sudden I was propped up on pillows next to Jasper.
He smiled at me, "Your indecision was killing me, and so was this music. Lets start already." He lifted the remote, but Alice snatched it from his hand before he could press anything.
"I made popcorn for Bella, just let me grab it." She bounced from the room leaving furious looking Jasper.
I couldn't help but laugh and he turned to look at me.
"You wouldn't be laughing if you had heard the same loop for the last twenty minutes."
"Sorry, how about I go mute it before Alice gets back."
I got up and switched off the volume on the TV. Heading back to the couch I managed to trip over thin air. I closed my eyes before the impact but luckily I was close enough to the couch that I didn't hit the floor.
I opened my eyes to see I had fallen right into Jaspers lap. I looked into his eyes, and all though left me again. He was defiantly dazzling me.
I unconsciously leaned up toward him, at the same time he started to lean down. I could see his eyes flicking between my eyes and my lips and I knew what he wanted, but I was too dazzled to think of anything but how good his lips would feel against mine.
"Do you want a drink too?" We had almost closed the gap when Alice yelled out. We froze for a second before I yelled out a shaky,
"No thanks."
I jumped back into my spot, trying not to think about what had just happened. I looked over at him and caught him staring at me, his expression unreadable.
He started to shuffle about, and crossed his legs away from me. He was sitting really strangely.
"Hey Alice can we get a blanket in here?" He yelled out, looking down at the floor.
"What do you need a blanket for Jazz?" She asked, as she walked in holding a huge bowl of popcorn, and a large blanket.
"Well…you know…I just thought… Bella might get cold." He stuttered, and I realised this was the first time I had not seen him oozing confidence. She threw the blanket over all of us.
She put the sound back on and started the movie and we all settled back into the cushions.
About a quarter way into the movie I couldn't help but jump and scream. Alice started to laugh at me, but Jasper just calmed me down. He put his ice-cold hand on my thigh.
We smiled at each other. I gave him a silent thank you, and went back to the movie.
It wasn't until a few minutes later that I realised his hand was still on my leg. I smiled at the comfort, and snuggled closer to his side.
