I changed into the nicest Pj's I had in an effort to impress the Cullen kids, and not to be embarrassed when they all looked like Adonis. They were a simple t shirt and cotton shirts that clung to me but came down to mid thigh, comfortable and stretchy yet a nice pale blue that set off my eyes nicely.
I padded to Edward's room, a little hesitant about not having slippers and somehow sullying the floor with my nasty human feet as i'm sure Rose would be thinking, but I sucked it up and grinned before knocking on his door. I did promise myself I wouldn't be a weenie in this literary world.
"Well hello there," Edward grinned and opened the door, his brooding glower firmly replaced with tousled hair and pajamas which made me giggle a bit. They looked good on him but he was so serious normally that seeing him in a black shirt and tartan pyjama bottoms looked strange. Then there was the fact the shirt said 'bite me' on it.
"Nice shirt, but I think I'll be keeping my fangs to myself, and you better do the same." Edward looked at me sideways for a second like he was sure i'd figured out what he was before realizing I was kidding and gave me a quick chuckle and stood aside to let me pass into his room.
"Nice digs, wheres Alice?" I looked back towards Edward who shut the door and pulled a blanket from a pile near his sofa bed, draping it around my shoulders.
"She'll be here in a -"
"Hello!" Alice flung open the door and grinned like a demented jack in the box, dragging Jasper with one hand and clutching an armful of DVD's in her spare. "We never have movie nights, this is gonna be great!"
"Alice, we don't even own that many movies!" Edward protested, looking at the sheer amount of romantic comedies and action thrillers Alice had managed to drag upstairs, then he looked to the reluctant Jasper who sheepishly held up a few more.
"What? So I like' Westerns, what's the big deal?" Edward almost facepalmed and Alice rushed to lay the DVD's out so I could see them.
"Whata ya think? Which one should we watch?"
"Well I think we should let Eddie over here pick since otherwise he might spontaneously combust, and Jasper and you can pick the next one since I normally fall asleep really early." I then sat on the floor leaning against the sofa bed and hugged Alice quickly. "I'm glad I've got you Alice,"
"I'm glad I've got you too Jess?" Alice said in a confused way but hugged me back all the same. It hit me that this was actually my first real sleepover, and that Alice was my first real friend.
"C'mon then Misto, get a move on!" I said and tugged on his hand, which was a bit of a feat since he was standing and I was sitting.
Edward picked a random romcom and sat on the sofa bed, I hopped up to join him, getting a knowing look from ALice and an eye roll from Jasper. But luckily for me, Eddie just accepted it, even when I put half my blanket around his shoulders too.
The movie was as all Rom coms are, funny and cute but there were just a few too many awkward moments that reminded me of times I tried to ask someone out on a date and got flat out rejected, but hey, the leading lady ended up with the man of her dreams, at least that's what the back cover promised.
I started to sway slightly and my eyes began to close I knew I wasn't long for consciousness and it was only ten. Wow I'm a lightweight. I knew I was going to either need to rest my head on the back of the sofa or on Edward and I was about to lean backwards when a spur of rebelliousness and confidence ran through me like a lightning bolt and I leaned over to rest on his shoulder.
I saw Alice move her hand and cuddle with Jasper, a small smile on their faces and realized that jaser probably had something to do with it, but I was too tired to care. I looked up and saw how tense Edward looked. Just my luck, I enter the world of twilight and manage to get into the friendzone, great. When I started pulling away he looked at me and gave me a tentative smile, gesturing to his shoulder once again. I gladly smiled and wrapped myself in blanket, lying on his shoulder and falling asleep to the murmured confessions of the TV lovers and the soft tug as Edward played with my hair.
I woke up the next morning in the same seat as I fell asleep in. My head was on Edward's lap and he was absently fiddling with the strands of my hair as he watched the western the vampires ah obviously switched to. I wanted desperately to sit up and perhaps go to the bathroom but the hair stroking was so nice and I didn't feel like getting up.
"You guys are hardcore," I mumbled to the vampires who were still glued to the screen.
I got a glare and a shh from Alice and Jasper, and Edward continued his hair stroking. I flipped so I was on my back and stared up at the underside of his chin, screwing up my face when his cold fingers absently touched my face instead of hair. He looked down at the change of texture and grinned, helping me sit up.
"I'm going to go have a shower and get ready for today, just don't let them put another movie in or they will never want to go." I whispered in Edward's ear, my voice as light as a breath.
"I'm sure we can lure Alice out with shopping if push comes to shove, a good pair of louboutin's always gets her moving," I smiled at him and got up, trying my best to leave silently but knocking into a side table and trip
ping onto my face. Alice looked over and giggled her bell like laugh, Jasper chuckled along with his wife and Edward reached out and pulled me to my feet with a laugh and a grin.
My pride took a hit and I launched out of my room, but I started grinning when I heard the solemn vampires giggling in the next room as I walked off to get ready.
