Chapter 9: Secret Valentine

BPOV

Finally, Saturday rolled around. I practically jumped in my seat while waiting for Emmett to come back.

"Gosh, Bella. Sit still. You seem so anxious." Alice scolded me.

I was partly excited and partly nervous. I haven't seen Emmett in 2 months but I was "dating" Edward at the same time. I don't know how I'm gonna feel when Emmett walks in. I hope that I'll still feel the same for him.

"KNOCK KNOCK!" Emmett came rushing through the door with Rosalie rolling her eyes behind him.

I didn't care about anything else or who was watching, I threw myself into his arms.

"BELLA! I MISSED YOU!!!!" He kissed me.

---

Two hours later, Emmett and I were sitting in the living room enjoying each other's company.

"I missed you so much. I thought I was gonna go crazy." I felt so guilty but so happy at the same time.

"I missed you too." I kissed him again. Seconds later, we were in full on make out. Of course, my phone rang.

"Yes?" I said annoyed.

"Bella! Our date was amazing! I'm so glad I asked her out. We're going out again tonight and-"

"Mark! Do you think you could call back a little later? I'm kinda busy."

"Ohhhhhh!!!!!!!! You and Edward finally-"

"No Mark, You kinda interrupted Emmett and I…"

"Ohhh……. Well then… I'll just call Edward then. Sorry I said anything. Bye!" I hung up.

"Who was that?"

"Oh, your new neighbour Mark. He's really nice and we kinda set him up with Angela Webber last night. They really hit it off."

"Well that's nice. Where were we?" I giggled and continued kissing him.

"Kids…" Esme interrupted us this time. "We were just going to go out for dinner, do you want to come with us?"

"Umm…" I wasn't sure. I wanted to spend time with the family, but I didn't want to share Emmett."

"I'm okay. If you want to go Em, I can just go home."

"No, that's okay, we can just order in tonight. If you want to?"

"Sure."

"Okay kids. We'll be home around eleven then. We'll probably hit the shops in Port Angeles. Anything you want? Or need?"

"I'm okay." We both said at the same time.

"Well, then we'll just be off. Have fun! Oh and Bella, why don't you call your dad and ask if you can stay over, if you want." She said and left us.

"Sure. Well, have fun!"

"We will." With that, she left.

"I already ordered pizza for us. It's gonna be here in about 15 minutes."

"Okay. I'll be right back. I'm just gonna call my dad and tell him that I'm allowed to spend the night here."

"Yep. Don't be too long though, I might have to come and get you!"

"Oh I'm counting on it!"

I went into the kitchen and dialled my dad's phone.

"Hey Dad. It's me."

"Hey hon, what's up?"

"Oh nothing. Just wanted to let you know that I'm gonna sleep over at Alice's tonight if it's okay with you and mom."

"Sure. You have your stuff there right?"

"Yeah, it's all here."

"Okay. Goodnight then."

"Bye." I hung up the phone and went back to the living room to see Emmett. I practically ran and jumped into his outstretched arms. The pizza had already arrived but he waited for me to come back to start eating, which was so unlike him. He must really love me.

"I love you." Well, speak of the devil! But still very sweet.

"I love you too. So much." I grabbed a slice and started chowing down. Emmett put in The Notebook, which I had never seen before, slung his arm around me, and also grabbed a slice of the delicious, greasy piece of pizza.

---

By the end of the movie, I was crying so hard that I had to excuse myself so Emmett wouldn't see me this way again. It was just so darn sad! Now I knew why Jasper loved watching it with Alice, she probably cried into his chest every time.

When I was more presentable, I walked back out to see him cleaning up the pizza box and straightening the pillows. I yawned, which just made me tear up a little bit more.

"Oh Bella. You don't have to hide from me. I don't mind seeing you cry. It shows you have compassion."

"I don't like crying in front of people. I get all puffy and red." We laughed at that.

"Well then if you insist."

"I'm getting tired. I think I'm gonna hit the hay."

"Okay, I'll be right up. I'm just gonna get the lights."

I tried not to trip as I went to his room on the second floor. It was weird not having to climb another flight of stairs. I guess I was just so used to going to Edward's room.

Once inside his room, I turned down the bed and climbed in. It was only 10:00 which was early for me. I snuggled in to my pillow and almost drifted off. Emmett quietly tip-toed into the room and got in beside me. I lied my head on his chest and finally fell asleep.

---

"Good morning dad! I'm home."

"Hey Bells. Did you have fun at the Cullen's last night?"

"Yeah it was fun. We watched the Notebook." I didn't say who "we" were.

"Sounds like fun. Listen, I went shopping with your mom yesterday while you were out and well, I bought you something for your room."

"What? What did you get me?"

"A new bed. Your old one was getting too small for you. You fell off a few times."

"Oh, well thanks dad." I was surprised that he would go to all this trouble just to get me something for my room.

"It's already set up. You can go check it out."

"Okay."

I walked up to my room and opened the door slowly. Shoved inside my tiny box of a room was a beautiful Queen sized bed. It somehow matched perfectly with my room.

"Wow dad! This is great! Thank you." I went over and hugged him. He awkwardly hugged me back.

"Wait, where is mom?"

"She just went shopping for some stuff. Hon, we are gonna be gone next weekend. I was asked to go to a convention in the Bahamas! Isn't that exciting?"

"Yeah! When do we leave?"

"Uh, Bells, we can't have you missing a week of school, so you're gonna stay with the Cullens."

"Oh." My face fell.

"Hon, we can cancel if you want."

"No, dad you never go on vacation. Go out and have fun with mom. Besides, Emmett just finished midterm exams and he's gonna be here for a while."

"You sure?"

"Yeah. Go have fun for once. You never do anything for yourself."

"Thanks hon."

"No prob."

It was finally Friday and I was so excited to stay with Emmett and Edward for an entire week.

Tonight, we were going to invite Mark over for a sleepover. It was going to be Me, Alice, Edward, Emmett, Rosalie, Jasper, and Mark all in the Cullen's living room.

I jumped out of my truck and ran in the house. My overnight bag for tonight was sitting on my bed. I grabbed it, said goodbye to my parents, and went across the street to the Cullen's house.

Mark was already there, so we were only waiting for Jasper to come.

"Bella! You're here!"

"ARE YOU READY TO PARTY!!!!" Mark shouted while running down the stairs with a Redbull in hand.

"Oh Mark! You just are the life of the party."

"You know it."

We ordered a bunch of pizzas and voted on movies. We ended up watching The Strangers. It was the scariest movie I have ever seen. We were all squished on the couch with a few blankets scared out of our wits. After the movie was over, we all stood like stones.

"Wow." Was all that was said, and of course it was said by yours truly, Mark.

I heard a bump coming from the stairs.

"Did anyone else hear that?"

"That bump? Yeah." I answered Rosalie's question.

"Anyone know what that was? Because it kinda freaked me out a lot!" Rosalie said.

"It's probably just Carlisle and Esme." Mark said.

"But they went out for a night on the town." Edward said.

"What if it's people here to kill us for no reason, like in the movie?" Alice asked.

"Then I'll protect you baby." Jasper cooed in her ear.

Another thump was heard. We all screamed.

"Oh my God! We're gonna die!" Rosalie cried.

I started crying. I buried my face into Emmett's chest.

Another bump, more screams.

"We're gonna die, we're gonna die, we're gonna die, we're gonna die!" Rosalie cried while Alice whispered to Jasper, "Save me Jazzy, please! I'm so scared."

"I'm gonna go see what it is okay Alice." Jasper said.

"No, Jasper! Please don't! Stay here please. I can't loose you, I love you!"

"I have to go see what it is though. Or else call the cops."

"GAHH! STOP IT EVERYONE! YOU'RE FREAKING ME OUT!" Mark screamed.

"Guys, let's just stay calm." Edward took the lead. We'll just go outside and run. It won't be that hard to get away from them. We can go to your house Mark. Then call the cops."

"TOO LATE!!!" Emmett cried. We turned around, and there were 2 people, a man and a woman, standing in the doorway with masks on. We all screamed and ran out the back door to Mark's house. His parents let us in and we ran to his room. When we calmed down, we heard laughing from downstairs. Carlisle and Esme's voices drifted up to us and we got up and walked downstairs. The 4 adults were laughing so hard, they were in tears.

"OH MY GOD I HATE YOU!!!!!" Alice screamed and started laughing. We all laughed at how stupid the situation turned out to be.

The "killers" turned out to be Carlisle and Esme. They came in through the window upstairs and set out to scare us.

Last night we fell asleep at about 3:00 a.m. after an intense game of twister, some Guitar hero battles, and Truth or Dare. It was all quite fun.

I knew I wasn't supposed to go over to my house alone with Emmett but I brought him anyways. I needed to grab my overnight stuff for tonight and I wanted to show him my new furniture.

"Okay, you can open your eyes now." He opened his eyes and marvelled at the new bed.

"Your parents bought you this?" He asked.

"Surprisingly, yes." I answered nervously. I knew what I wanted, but did he? I decided to secretly ask him with a small peck on the lips and a simple "I love you"

I sat down on the bed and invited him to see how comfy it is. He did. He seemed to understand my silent question because he asked me if I was sure, and I said yes. That's where the amazing night started.

Soft kiss and wine what a pretty friend of mine
we're finally intertwined
nervous and shy for the moment we will come
alive tonight

secret valentine

We'll write a song
that turns out the lights
when both boy and girl start suddenly shaking inside
don't waste your time
speed up your breathing
just close your eyes
we'll hope it's not for nothing at all

lay down be still
don't worry talk they will
i'll be loving you until
morning's first light
breaks tomorrow
i'll take care of you tonight

secret valentine

We'll write a song

when guilt fills your head
brush off rise up from the dead
this is the moment that we

A/N:

Hope you liked it. Sorry I didn't put in the lemon, but I suck at writing them so no lemons from my stories. Sorry! Anyways, the song at the end is kinda indicating that there is a lemon. It's an awesome song called Secret Valentine by We the Kings (hence the name of the chapter).

Sorry I didn't update earlier, I went on vacation with my family on March Break to Vegas and Los Angeles for 8 days. It was amazing. We saw Simon Baker from the Mentalist at Warner Brothers studios. We did this amazing tour of the grounds. If you ever go, definitely do that. Oh and we also saw Eva Longoria being attacked by the paparazzi. She was coming out a hair salon. She's gorgeous!

Anyways, the next update is possibly soon but not in April. Next weekend is my brother's communion, on Tuesday, I'm going to Toronto with the music dept. of our school to go see the opera, and then that weekend, we are doing a birthday party for my sister. She's 12 on the 24th. So sorry about that, but the next chapter will probably be one of the last. It should be good.

Thanks for reading!
