Chapter 10

The rest of the weekend went by quickly. That Saturday was spent hanging out and watching movies. Turns out Rose, Alice, Jazz and Em all stayed over after the party on Friday night so we were all present and correct to start our movie marathon, all plus one. After the incident with the umbrella when we were still in a position that looked very wrong in every single aspect. A fact that hadn't escaped Emmett, he was still cracking jokes and it had been days. After recovering from our compromising position Em asked Edward to stick around and join us for the movies. He surprised me by accepting and took off to shower and change before coming back.

I showered and changed not wanting him to see me for longer than possible in my sweats. I went back downstairs and greeted the guys. Jasper and Alice were seating on one of the love seats and Jazz had his arms around her shoulders. Did I miss something last night? Alice looked completely at home in his arms and it made me smile to know that this little sign of affection means a lot to the both of them, even if they don't show it. Rose was sat in the only chair and Em was sat on the floor in front of her leaning against the side of the chair. There was only the other love seat left for me and Edward, thats if he came back which after half an hour of him leaving I was seriously doubting that he would grace us with his presence. We all chose a film each, Jazz chose his favourite, Schlinder's List; Em chose a scary one despite my protests which I don't know the name of; Rose chose Titanic, a classic but it would have us all blubbering, Emmett especially, he may seem like a tough ball but he is a big teddy bear underneath it all; Alice chose a typical chick flick, Confessions of a Shopaholic; and I had chosen Love Actually, a great holiday movie. Edward finally joined us looking better then ever. Can't he look normal for once? Even all hot and sweaty he still looks like a God! Its bloody annoying! He shocked me by choosing one of my favourites Atonement. I swear these people are asking for tears, I'll be a blubbering mess by the end of this! And believe me, it's not something that is a pretty sight. Edward was forced to sit on the love seat with me. I put my feet up and sat on them, I was most comfortable like this.

"Hang on a sec, we have no munchies! We can't have a movie marathon without snacks! Emmett!!! How could you have nearly let this happen? You know that you're the one in charge of this whenever we do it!" I screamed at him over dramatically. He had the decency to look ashamed.

"Sorry Bells." He looked at the floor and I had to stifle a giggle. He looked like he was seriously sorry about it. Haha. He is priceless. I realised that this was the first movie marathon that had been more than the three of us with the exception of Tanya occasionally joining us. I decided to play it up a bit and gave Jasper a wink telling him to do the same.

"God Emmett! How could you do this? Whats wrong with you? You have never failed us like this before!" Jasper yelled at him which made him lower his head in shame even more. I could barely keep in the laughter now. I glanced at the other three and they all looked at us as if we were mad. I couldn't contain it anymore I burst into laughter, Jasper following not long behind me.

"We were pulling your leg, you muppet." I said to Emmett in between giggles. "Although we do need snacks. I have nothing in so I'll nip to the Thriftway. Anyone wanna come?" I asked the room at large while getting up.

Edward stood and volunteered. We said our quick goodbyes and headed off. I felt a little awkward in the car with him alone. I wasn't used to this Edward and it was quite unsettling. I put the radio on and we arrived shortly after. Still in complete silence.

We went straight to the sweet aisle and I picked up everything we normally get. I grabbed jelly beans (A/N They make me hyper :D), maoams, haribo, haribo sours, doritos, dorito dips, and anything else I could get my hands on. I picked up two bags of popcorn and turned to Edward.

"Sweet or toffee?" I asked him.

"Toffee, everytime."

"Hm, me too. Oh what the heck." I said and threw them both in the basket that was getting quite full.

"Don't you think we have enough," he asked as I grabbed a couple of big bars of chocolate off the shelf.

"Ha, you don't know Emmett. I don't normally get this much but that was when there was only three of us." I answered. "Ok, this should be enough. Hopefully."

He looked at me sceptically. "Hopefully? Bella, thats enough to feed the ten thousand."

I just shrugged and walked over to the cashier.

I emptied the basket and put them on the belt. Edward moved to the other end of the register and started packing the things that the cashier was putting through. I stood in front of the cashier waiting til he had put it all through. He looked young, probably about my age and he was quite good looking, sweet, he had a bit of a chubby face which made him look younger. He looked up to me and gave me what I think was supposed to be a sexy look but it just gave me the creeps. I felt a shiver run down my back and not in a good way. He kept throwing me these looks throughout the transaction and I was starting to feel really uncomfortable. I swear I caught him looking at my breasts multiple times but it could just have been my imagination. I got out my credit card ready to pay but Edward stuck his in the machine before I had chance.

"What are you doing?" I accused.

"My treat, sweetheart." He wrapped an arm around my waist and planted a kiss on my forehead. Electricity sparked on my forehead and my whole body felt alive, I revelled at how perfectly I fit into his arms. I shook my head to get the thoughts out. I looked at him questioningly but he was paying attention to putting his pin in.

We grabbed the bags and left and I could feel the cashiers gaze watching my ass which sent another shiver down my spine. What a creep.

We went to the car in silence and put the things in the boot. I waited until we were in the car before turning on him.

"What was that about?" I asked.

"That guy was obviously making you feel uncomfortable. I was just trying to get him to back off a bit." He answered staring out of the windscreen.

"Oh right. Thanks, I guess." I started the car and we kept up light conversation all the way back to my house.

When we got to taking the food out the boot he just had to make a sarcastic comment, "Are you actually going to let me carry bags this time?" I did the responsible and mature thing, I stuck my tongue out at him.

The rest of the day went smoothly. Like guaranteed I blubbered like a baby then again I took comfort in the fact that Emmett was well further gone than I was. He kept yelling at the TV telling Rose that she shouldn't let go of Jack in Titanic, if I wasn't so affected by the movie I would have laughed at him. Edward comforted me which didn't feel as uncomfortable as I thought it would be. In fact it felt right, natural I guess. I made a mess of his t-shirt though, his shoulder was covered in my tears.

We watched the scary movie last and it was quite late now, I was starting to get tired. I grabbed the blanket off the back of the sofa and put it over me and Edward, I didn't want to appear selfish. I cuddled up to it and unwillingly watched the movie. Of course, it had to be one of those ones that make you jump. They are the worst, I could deal with gore because I know it's not real but when things jump out on you it scares the crap out of me. She was running from the murderer down an alley and she had nearly gotten to the street at the end when he jumped out from behind some bins. I jumped and turned into Edwards shoulder again, blocking my eyes from the TV. He wrapped his arms around me and rubbed small circles in my back trying to calm me. His scent instantly made me calmer and I completely relaxed in his arms. I turned my head towards the TV, not moving from my position. I felt a lot safer in his embrace and it scared me a little. At some point I lost the battle with my eyelids and I fell asleep.

I woke up the next morning tucked up into bed not sure about how I got there. I didn't have the energy to think about Edward or yesterday. I would deal with that when I had the time and energy. I rang Jasper and invited him round. We spent the day hanging out just the two of us, we hadn't done that in a while and I had missed it. He would make Alice happy someday. If he wasn't like my brother I would so go there.

After chilling out for most of the day, I lay in bed wondering what tomorrow would bring and willing sleep to drag me under it's depth.
