AN: So I'm glad to be back and writing again.
Disclaimer: Edward Cullen still doesn't belong to me….-_-

Bella
"Hey Bella. You wanna come over to our house after school? It's Friday so you can spend the night as well." Alice asked me. We were currently sitting at the lunch table in the cafeteria. The Cullen's and Hale's all had excited looks on their faces. I was kind of nervous. This would be my first time going over to their house.
"Sure, I'd like that. Change of scenery." I chuckled. Alice, Jasper, Emmett and Rosalie all nodded but Edward had a confused look on his face. I answered his question with a look that said 'I'll explain later.' He nodded and got up just as the bell rang ending the lunch period.
I noticed that the others all walked away but Edward was beside my seat. I then remembered that we had chemistry together and guessed that he was here to walk together to class.
"Come on, or we'll be late." He grabbed my hand and dragged me towards the science hall.
All the while we were walking I remised about how great it felt that his hand was still intertwined with mine. He hand was large, warm and rough. It wasn't like holding a piece of sandpaper but it was manly. His grip was strong and secure that it made me feel safe.
We got into the class room just as the warning bell rang. I hurried off to my seat while I assumed that Edward was getting his slip signed and books.
"Okay Mr. Cullen, take a seat. There is one over by-" Mr. Adams took a quick look around the room, " Miss. Swan and Mr. Johnson. Take your pick."
Edward gave me a smile while walking towards the seat next to me. I noticed that his movements were graceful unlike the quirky and awkward movements I sometimes made. When he sat down he gripped the table loosely with one hand while he placed his books on the table all the while sliding into his seat. It amazed me; the movements that boy made. He could make almost anything look interesting and agile.
While the teacher went on about ionic elements I blocked out what he was saying. I pretty much had the periodic table of elements memorized. It was simple combinations so I looked out the window and put my hand under my chin. It didn't surprise me that there was a light rain pour. I always found scenery beautiful when it was wet.
I decided to start thinking about the date that Edward mentioned. We never talked about it since he popped the question but I was curious. When would we go? Where? Was he still thinking about taking me out or was it a question that slipped out in the feel of the moment. Maybe he just wanted to stay friends and nothing more. It was all wishful thinking.
I was brought out of my thoughts by a nudge on my arm. I looked down to see a note on top of my notebook. I looked over to see Edward looking at the board and then his paper, taking notes on what the teacher was saying. He was playing it cool so Mr. Adams didn't know that we would be passing notes.
I snatched up the note and brought it to my lap.
Doesn't he ever stop talking? :P –E
I let out a quiet giggle. It's true the teacher never stops talking. Sometimes if we asked a question about chemistry he would find a way to relate it to his life. He would drone on and on about how he was a rebellious teenager or how he was an adventurous hunter. I thought that it was all bullshit because it would be a different story every time. Everyone loved and hated him at the same time because once he got talking about crazy stories, there was no stopping him and the lesson he was teaching would be forgotten. It sucked because you couldn't study for the test that most likely based on what he was talking about before he started rambling about nothing. It was also good because then you could get him to talk about stupid things and then forget about the test that he was about to pass out.
Nope. Sorry. It goes on forever. Sometimes it feels like the end of the world :D – B
Oh man. That sucks. Next time I'm going to bring my iPod so I could block out his annoying voice. (: -E
I have mine if you want it. I have some good music. It comes in hand sometimes. 8D –B
Sure. :] What bands do you listen to? –E
I quickly dug into my pocket and got out my purple iPod nano. It was the new one with the built in camera. I bought it as a birthday gift for myself last year with some of the money left over from selling Charlie's house. I passed it over to him while I wrote back. I heard him chuckle quietly from the sight of my iPod.
I have some Paramore, Kings of Leon, Train, Evanescence, White tie affair, Trapt, Sparks the Rescue, Switchfoot. I have a little bit of everything. Even Debussy. C: -B
That's great. Thanks. –E x
I was almost to the point of hyperventilating. He put an 'x' at the end of the note. An 'x' means kiss right? Did that mean he wanted to kiss me? It was exciting me too much so I decided not to think too much about it.
We had about five minutes left when I received another note from him.
So…What about that date? Oh and also I hope you don't mind if I borrowed your iPod. I'll return it to you tonight if you don't mind. xD –E
Before I could write or say anything back, the bell rang for next class.
When I looked over to see Edward, all I seen was the back of his perfectly messy head walking out the door.
I couldn't focus too much about how he got there so fast because my thoughts were all over the place. He remembered about our date. The same thing that kept me up night thinking about if it was a mistake or if he forgot about; he remembered. That was enough to put a smile on my face for the rest of the day. I couldn't even care that he still had my iPod and I never ever let anyone take my iPod.
I was stunned and barley noticed that the other class was already coming in. I jumped up when someone behind me cleared their throat. I turned to give who ever it was a piece of my mind, but when I turned around my words got stuck in my throat. Turns out that it was Lana Louise. Her title: Queen Bitch of Forks High. No one fucked with her unless you were looking for trouble. She was a senior and every guy lusted after her. She was gorgeous with long spiral blonde hair, bangs to her cheeks that were swept to the side and beautiful hazel eyes that mastered the cold hard stare that pierced many freshman nightmares. She was a wet dream on legs for men and gay women. Especially with the body that every girl would die for. Did I mention that she hated my guts ever since she first seen me?
-*-
An hour later I was heading home in my truck with a confusion about plate tech tonics, a sore knee, and a promise to Alice to make chocolate fudge brownies that she has been craving lately. Before I left Alice I remembered to get their address and tell her I'd be there by seven.
-*-
I stood on the Cullen/Hale's front porch and just stared. Their house was massive. It looked more like a mansion in Hollywood, not located in the out skirts of Forks.
It took me a minute to notice that in the door way stood Emmett and he was staring at the brownies in my hand. I started to take steps back knowing that he was ready to charge.
Everything happened so fast. Next thing I knew a louse booming voice screamed "BROWNIES!" and a smash was heard. I hugged the brownies to my chest tighter. Before I knew it they were snatched out of my grasp. Rosalie and Jasper stood in the door way, Edward was pulling me into the house, and Alice was chasing after Emmett for the brownies. By the look on her face she meant war. Edward pulled me into the living room and towards the window where it was safe and gave a great view of the war happening outside. I couldn't help but laugh at the picture of little Alice running after Emmett, for food no less.
"What was the loud crash that was heard?" I asked as we took a seat on the leather couch. I looked around the room to see that they had everything you could imagine that a living room/ theater would have.
"Oh when Alice jumped up when she heard Emmett shout out brownies, she ran into the table and knocked it over." He gestured to the knocked over table while he picked it up.
Just then Alice cam in with the brownies in her hand, a smug look on her face while supporting a chocolate mustache. Rosalie and Jasper followed after with a pouting Emmett behind them.
"Ah...Darling. You got a little chocolate-" Jasper said while making a circle around his mouth to indicate her mustache. She ran over to him and took his face into her chocolate covered hands while giving him a big sloppy kiss.
"Eww…Alice!" Jasper whined.
"Oh come on Jazz…Now we can go and have a shower." She wiggled her eyebrows for effect. From the expression on his face it looked like he didn't mind and would follow her anywhere. You would be crazy not to see that they are in love.
"Great. Everyone go find your ear plugs." Edward snickered. I shot him a look and threw my bag at him. He caught it before it hit his head (because I obviously can't throw and have bad aim) and cocked an eyebrow at me.
"Be a gentleman and bring my bag upstairs, will you dear?" I batted my eyelashes for added affect and grabbed his hand. He gulped, nodded and shot up the stairs.
I sat on the couch with Em and Rosalie and waited for the night to begin.
-*-
Later that night we ended up playing truth or dare. There was a lot of torture aimed towards Emmett and also a lot of sexual activities. I've never been so scarred in my life. Let's just say I witnessed too much of Emmett's anatomy. Luckily for me, Edward covered my eyes when things got really bad and I did the same for him. I'm pretty sure he didn't want see his siblings junk. I'm glad they didn't make me do any sexual things with Edward. The worse it got was that I had to sit on his lap for the whole game because they dared me on the second turn. In the end their was a promise from Emmett to fulfill his dare and act as a gay person on Monday at school. It was going to be a sight to see especially as he had to sing a song by Scotty Vanity. Overall it wasn't too bad.
Eventually we settled down and all lied on the floor, curled up in blankets watching scary movies. I was lying beside Edward and Jasper. Of course Emmett decided on the movies so they were scary. He complained the whole way through that it was all fake and the actors didn't know how to act. He said that the blood was ketchup and the actor's chest still rose after they were supposed to be dead.
I was glad that the blood wasn't real and besides all the girls thought the movie was scary. I ended up curled up to Edward's back and would peak over him every once in a while. At really scary parts I would grip his t-shirt and hide my face in his shoulder blades while he chuckled softly. By the end of the night I ended up in Edward's arms and buried under lots of blankets over both of our heads. It was very comfortable and I ended up falling asleep.
-*-
The next afternoon I decided that it was time to go home and promised them that I would come over later tonight or tomorrow morning. They agreed and Edward walked me to my truck carrying my bag.
After I threw my bag into the cab, I turned around to face Edward and seen that he was digging through his pockets. He produced my purple iPod and gave it back to me.
"Thanks for letting me borrow it. Sometime you have to come over and help me download some of those songs. We'll have an Edward and Bella day. What do you say?"
"You're welcome. And sure, that would be great." I blushed. I was happy to know that he wanted to spend time together. Maybe friendship would come first then we can pursue more later.
I got into the tuck and Edward closed the door. He had a smile on his face. I rolled down the window to say goodbye. Before the words were out of my mouth, he leaned over and kissed my cheek again.
"Bye Bella. See you later." He said softly and walked back into the house.
"Bye." I whispered after his retreating form. I was glad that the sleepover went well and I hope to do it again soon. I am also thankful that there were no nightmares. It seems that sleeping in Edward's arms made them go away. Hopefully I'll get to do it again very soon.
-*-
Wow, so I'm glad that I got this up. Hopefully they will start coming faster and you guys won't have to wait forever. 8D
