Chapter 10:
So Close (Part 1)
Bella POV
So I'm supposed to be dead. Who the heck wants to kill me, for crying out loud? I blinked and said my good-byes to the Cullens, only to have Alice pin me down and promise to stay here. She gave me her puppy eyes and I caved, not able to make her unhappy. So, here I am, bored out of my freaking mind in the Cullen house. Alice and Jasper are busy in their room, as are Emmett and Rosalie. Carlisle is in his study and Esme is in the kitchen, cleaning. Tanya and Edward are out hunting. I feel like resting, but there is no way I am about to go into Alice's room to lie down. HA! Funny…
Maybe I can go lie down for a little while, until Edward gets back. I ran to the kitchen, "Hey, Esme, do you think Edward would mind if I went to lie down in his room? It's either that or Tanya's room and we aren't exactly friends." Esme looked up and smiled kindly, "Of course, dear. Go right on up and if Edward gets upset, say I sent you up there." I couldn't hold back my smile and thanked her, racing up the stairs. I opened his door and for some really weird reason, Edward had a brand new bed, big enough for two. It looked so comfortable; I didn't even look at it before jumping on it, landing on my back.
I groaned and rolled over onto my tummy, "So this is what heaven's like." I muttered, while I stretched out. I quickly spread my shield around myself, so I would be in absolute silence. I closed my eyes and put my shield up in my head as well, so I couldn't think too much. I sighed in contentment and breathed in deeply, slowly breathing out. I hugged one of Edward's really fluffy pillows and smiled slightly. It smelled like Edward, which is a good thing. Edward smells absolutely wonderful. I giggled and relaxed into the bed, ignoring how I felt a presence in the room. I opened one eye and saw Edward looking at me, confused.
"I would say I'm sorry for intruding, but I'm not. Your bed is the best bed in the entire history of the universe." My voice came out like mush as I was so comfortable and I kept mumbling to him, "It's so wonderful, Edward. Better than bubbles and teddy bears and foxes. Wait I take that back, nothing is better than a baby fox. And you know I was singing and the jelly fish in SpongeBob… did you know SpongeBob sings about mashed potatoes and ketchup and trash cans? Cuz he does." I let my shield down, to let him in and heard him chuckle, "What are you talking about, you weirdo?" I shook my head, "No idea, but who cares? Your bed is heavenly." I felt the bed move as I sang the last word to him. I opened my eyes and smiled at him. "So, what are you doing in my room, laying down and making no sense?" I giggled and said, "Well, if you were in my head, it'd make perfect sense. And to be honest, I have no freaking idea why I am so loopy. I think Jasper is making Alice calm down. And Jasper playing with my emotions mixed with my "sleeping" makes me seem like I'm high or something." I sighed and groaned again, "YOUR BED IS SO COMFY!" "Yeah, I know. That's why I bought it, captain obvious." I opened my eyes and winked at him, "Oh yeah, that's me, reporting for duty." I blinked and burst out laughing, clutching my sides.
"What in the world is so funny?" I rolled onto my back, hugging his pillow tighter and tilting my head so I could rest on it. I shrugged, facing him, "I felt like laughing, so I laughed." I giggled again and scooted so he could lay with me. "Sorry to burst you bubble, copper head, but I am not moving. You're stuck with me." He put his hand on his chest, mock hurt showing on his features, "That's Mister Copper Head to you, Malady." I giggled again and lay back, looking at him. I leaned in close to him and put my lips to his ear, "LAHHHH, LAAHHHHHHH, LAAHHHH LAAHHHH!" I erupted into a fit of giggles when he yelped and stumbled off of the bed. I squeezed his pillow tightly and stuck my tongue out at him. He looked at me, a small smile playing at his lips, "What was the purpose in that?" I smiled widely and looked him in the eyes, "I dunno, I got bored and you were the closest thing to me. Hey, you have pretty eyes."
He smiled back, "Bella our eyes are the same color, but your eyes, you have beautiful eyes." I smiled and looked at him, an idea forming in my head. I jumped up and ran to Emmett's room. I came back in less than a second, finding Edward in the same place. I jumped at him, making us both fall back on the bed, me straddling his stomach. I brought the fake moose head statue thing from behind my back and pushed it in his face, "KISS THE MOOSE! KISS IT! KISS THE MOOSE!" He blinked and started moving his head, dodging it, so I did the one thing I thought would be really funny. I leaned forward and caught his gaze, slowly inching towards his lips. I did a little happy dance in my head as he leaned toward me too. Just as his eyes had closed I pulled back and pushed the moose head at him, making them kiss. Then I shouted/ sang, "AND THEY CALL THIS MOOSE LUH-HUUUUVVVVV!" I dropped the head and ran as fast as I could, hearing Edward jump up behind me.
The door slammed shut in front of me and I backed away from a very evil looking Edward, hitting my back against a wall, but continued giggling. He ran and put one hand on my hip and the other on the wall, next to my head. He leaned down slowly and whispered in my ear, "You really shouldn't have done that." He pulled away and gave me an evil grin, a glint of amusement in his eyes, as he slowly leaned in. I held my breath, my eyes instantly going to his perfect lips. My breathing became a little faster, but I didn't care because his breathing was the same.
Our lips were centimeters apart and I closed my eyes, enjoying the feeling of butterflies in my stomach. I could feel his breath on my lips and I naturally licked mine, waiting for our lips to lightly touch… and cue Alice.
The door swung open, "Bellllaaaaaaaa, my darlinggggg!" She sang at the top of her lungs, making Edward and I open our eyes and freeze.
