War 9 (B.P.O.V)
Still don't own a thing!!!!
"Alice I have to say I'm having fun, but if you repeat this, I may have to cut you." I told Alice. She just rolled her eyes and went back to twirling her poodle skirt. I myself was sporting an amazing, short flapper dress covered in sequence. Alice forced upon me a headband with a single feather and gold pumps that went with the dark blue dress.
Though I was afraid for my life every time I moved, I felt pretty. I was at least able to steer Alice away from the dance she was going to make me learn. Heels? All right, dancing? I might have had to kill myself, and then get turned into a vampire.
"Alice, can we make some tea? I'm dying for some peppermint." I asked after she finished curling my hair and finishing my make-up.
She raised one perfectly formed eyebrow at me.
"Oops, no pun intended." I muttered, turning a strange pink color.
She laughed, "Sure Bella."
We headed up stairs, talking about the different clothes they wore when Alice really was her physical age.
When we reached the kitchen, Alice went to turn on the water boiler that they had recently purchased. We talked a bit more as the water began the simmer. When it was done, I walked over and began the process of making tea. Alice seemed fascinated that I had to stick a little bag of leaves into the water. I laughed and agreed.
I had just finished stirring and was about to take a sip. As I poured the tea into my mouth I heard a, "Bella!" from Alice. Crap, I took a huge gulp.
Bad idea.
Very bad.
The boiling tea burned my throat, making me jump back, cry out, and drop the mug, all at the same time.
The glass shattered into pieces, and I almost slipped in the water. Alice just starred at me.
Edward ran in to find me jumping up and down, tears streaming my face, and glass and tea all over the floor.
"Bella!" he cried out, running to me.
"SHIT!!!" I screamed, stunning Edward, and rushing the family to the scene.
"Bella?" Edward tried again.
"I…gasp…burned…gasp…my throat!" I didn't even now if he could hear me, but apparently he could because he immediately opened my mouth and blew into it. The cool sensation felt amazing. I was to busy with this feeling to blush. Here I was with Edward breathing down my throat, with Edward's family watching.
"Is that better my love?" Edward asked, concern coloring his voice. He brushed away my tears.
I nodded my head, and he then pulled me into his embrace, "I'm sorry Esme," I murmured.
"It's alright Bella, but let me pick it up, I don't want anymore injuries."
I nodded my head again.
"Give me the five bucks Emmet."
I pulled away from Edward. Jasper had his hand palm upward, out to Emmet.
"Wait, what?"
"Bella, you don't even want to know." Edward told me.
"Yes, I really do."
Edward glared at them both, "Fine, Emmet bet five bucks that you couldn't even chew gum and walk at the same time without hurting yourself. Jasper is trying to convince Emmet that since you fell, yelped, and broke the mug simultaneously, it means that you could. Emmet argues because you did hurt yourself, it doesn't."
Wonderful, I was being bet over.
"Hey Jasper, Emmet, I have a great bet for you. I bet that you two have exactly three seconds before Edward decides to hit you both."
I could feel Edward smiling behind me. Emmet and Jasper looked confused, "Wait what?" they asked.
"Time's up, go Edward!"
And they were off.
Alice, Calisle, Esme, and Rosalie all laughed. Then Alice and I skipped into the living room to watch the show.
(E.P.O.V)
I was off to go kill Emmet and Jasper…again.
My poor sweet Bella had burned herself, and they were trying to bet off of it.
"Edward no!!!" Emmet cried out, "You need us for the plan!!!"
I knew I needed them, but I could still hit them until I was satisfied.
"Boys!" Esme warned. I punched them again, and stopped.
Bella walked in, and I noticed what she was wearing.
She looked breathtaking in a flapper dress, hail curled, make-up done, but not enough to make her not look like my Bella.
I jumped off of Emmet and ran to my angel, taking her into my arms.
"Edward." Alice warned.
I growled and held Bella more.
Then Jasper and Emmet grabbed my arms, "Come on Eddie. Time to talk about fun boy things. Stop drooling."
They dragged me away from my blushing beauty.
Fine, as soon as this war ended, the sooner I could be with my Bella. Alone.
"Yes Eddikins," Emmet laughed, "You can be alone with her."
I starred up at him, confused.
"Edward," Jasper sighed, "You were grumbling out loud."
I starred at them in horror.
"So you better hurry and seduce Bella man, so you can be 'alone' with her."
Jasper turned to Emmet, "Twenty bucks say that they don't wait until the wedding night."
"Thirty says they don't make it by the end of the month." Emmet shot back.
Yes, this was going to be a long week.
