Here's the next chapter, Enjoy
Chapter 6
I groaned, something hard was sticking into my thigh. Finally I had had enough, with my eyes still shut I stuck my hand down and felt around for the object, at last my hand came in contact with the hard thing, it was my phone. I realized my other hand was holding onto something warm and soft, it as someone's hand...
I rolled over and opened my eyes slightly, and came face-to-face with a sleeping Edward. I sat up quickly, letting out a small squeal, and then quickly covered my mouth. Edward shifted slightly and groggily opened his eyes, "Wa...? Bella, is everything okay?" He asked, blinking confusedly up at me. Crap. He looked down to our entangled hands, wow; I must've been really scared last night. I quickly let go, blushing slightly.
"Yeah, everything's okay. Go back to sleep Edward..." I said in a sing-song voice, patting his head. He continued to look at me strangely, but I could see his eyes fighting to stay open. "Look, I'm going back to sleep," I said, settling back down and closing my eyes, hoping he would buy it. After a few moments I peeked over at him, he was fast asleep again.
Trying not to make any noise and not to step on anyone, I carefully maneuvered my way through the sleeping bodies, and over to the kitchen. I looked up at the clock, it was only six thirty, and I wasn't exactly very sleep anymore. I debated whether I should next door to grab my clothes and take a shower, but then I realized my parents would freak out if someone came knocking on their door this early on a Saturday morning, even if it was their daughter.
No knowing what to do, I quietly snuck back into my mattress. I propped my pillow up against the front of the couch and leaned against it. A quick blush rose to my cheeks when I realized how awkward this was, with everyone still sleeping and me just sitting here looking around rather stupidly.
I sighed, and carefully got up again, deciding to look around for my phone, after a few frustrating minutes, I found it behind the couch, thankfully not in one piece. I smiled when I spied Alice and Jasper, who were cuddled up together; I resisted the urge to "Awww"
Instead I took a couple of photos of them with my phone, grinning evilly the whole time. The photos would probably come in handy next time I needed to get out of Alice's Dressing up terror. Rose and Emmet were cuddled up as well, with Roses head on Emmet's chest, Edward and Tanya weren't touching at all...not that it was a bad thing.
I got back into the bed β erghh, I know, again βand relaxed into the pillow, softly closing my eyes.
I woke to the sound of the TV blaring out the famous theme song of Friends, I hastily sat up, my head spinning slightly, and looked around. All the other mattresses were packed away. What the... I couldn't have slept that late in; I mean I had just closed my eyes for a few minutes, well it felt like a few minutes anyway. I got up, nearly tripping over the corner of the mattress and followed the sound of laughter and chatter to the kitchen, to find everyone eating breakfast.
Jasper noticed me first, and smirked, "Finally our sleeping beauty has awaken from her deep slumber," He said,. I blushed furiously and scowled at him. "Good morning to you to," I replied, scowling, "You guys should've waked me up though," I said, narrowing my eyes at all their innocent expressions. "But you looked too cute," Emmet said, smiling at me. I rolled my eyes and stormed up to the island, grabbing a plate and pilling on scrambled eggs, toast and beacon onto it. I heard them chuckling behind me. I sat down in a huff beside the only empty seat that was next to Edward. And looked around, noticing Tanya wasn't present, "Um...where's Tanya?" I asked.
"She had to leave early," Rose said, smiling brightly.
"So Bella, why did you wake up before?" Edward asked.
I blushed slightly, "I was sleeping on my phone...and it was getting uncomfortable," I said, knowing they were all going to crack up. They didn't disappoint.
After we had finished breakfast and cleaned up, we parted ways. Alice and Jasper were planning on spending the day together, while Rose had to go help her father at his garage and Emmet and Edward were going play video games. Me, not wanting to hang around with two teenage boys playing shooting games or help Rose with fixing cars, I decided to have a quiet day at home to finish off home work and stuff.
I sat on my balcony, staring off at the setting sun, smiling to myself. It was actually quite nice up here...without all the drama. It was easy to forget where I actually was...except for the fact that there was another balcony opposite mine, which now had a happy looking Edward standing on it.
"Hey Edward, how was your date?" I asked smirking. He frowned at me,
"What date?"
"The one with CoD,"
"Oh ha-ha, very funny, but since you asked, it was great and I absolutely owned Emmet," He said smugly. I rolled my eyes.
"Anyway, you busy right now?" Edward asked. I show him a confused look,
"Um, no. Why?"
"Awesome." He said grinning. Then he abruptly hoisted himself over the balcony railing and sprang onto the tree. For a moment I was stunned by his athletic ability, but then I quickly regained my senses. "Edward you moron! What the hell are you doing?" I screamed. He was going to break his leg or his head or die! For goodness sake!
Ignoring me, Edward continued to maneuver his way around the branches then finally stopped, looking calculatingly at my balcony, as if...Oh no.
"Edward Anthony Masen Cullen! If you dare jump off β" I started furiously. Only to be cut off by Edward landing on my balcony with a light thump. My eyes widened slightly, and I stared at him dumbly. He was an Idiot. "What? I used to that all the time when we were kids," he said innocently. I glowered at him, "That was when you we were seven years old! Not seventeen! " I screeched up at him, waking him on the chest. He threw me an amused expression but then dropped it, his face turning serious, "Sorry Bella, I didn't mean to scare you..."
"Whatever," I said, turning my back on him and trooping inside, flopping on my bed. I heard him follow me inside, and felt the bed bend slightly when he lay down next to me. "Bells, you're my best friend." He said softly. I stayed quiet, wondering why he was telling me this all of a sudden. I already knew that.
"Am I yours?" He asked after a moment of silence.
I pursed my lips, and rolled over to my side to face him, "Of course Edward, you are my best friend. Why?" He turned his head so he could look at me, "Just making sure, though I don't know why. I am the most awesome person you know, so why wouldn't I be?" he said, smirking, but his eyes playful.
I let out a small laugh. "Ah always the modest one, Edward," I said, smiling.
He grinned back. The shadows of my flowery curtains casting patterns all over his face, from the sunset like streaming through. I felt my breath hitch. He looked so perfect, his green eyes so large and expressive, staring back at mine. His full lips looked so plump and pink, so kissable...
Gosh Bella stop checking your best friend out! Erghh. Why did I have to fall in love with someone so...Perfect?Shaking my head slightly, "Well is that all you came to say?" I asked teasingly.
"Yeah, pretty much." He said, smiling back, as he pushed himself up from the bed. I let out a surprised "Oh" as he pulled me up as well, and into a warm, hug.
We stood there for a few moments; the only sound was of our soft breathing. Then finally he let go, "Well I better go, see ya Bella," He said.
I nodded, but then said, "But take the door, otherwise I swear I'll β"I started. But of course he was already on my balcony, ready to jump. I rolled my eyes. Who cares if he breaks something, I did warn him.
Hope you enjoyed I threw in a little Bella and Edward fluff for fun (though strictly friendship fluff ;P)
