Edward's POV

The guys and I had finished our paintball wars and headed back to the Hummer, when I got a text from Alice wanting to know where we were, since they had finished shopping and were ready to get some food. I texted back that we were on our way and that we could head to Bella Italia before catching a movie. As Jasper, Emmett, and I rounded the corner, we heard "Yes!" and the sight of Bella turning around in circles, while shaking her butt and moving her hands and arms up and down greeted us. Alice and Rose were laughing and pointing at her, and she only stopped long enough to stick her tongue out at them. That cracked them up even more.

"Be careful how you stick that tongue out, Swan. One day someone is going to show you how to use it." I smirked before I could stop myself.

She froze. Rose and Alice just stood there with their mouths hanging open. The sight was so hilarious, it had Emmett, Jasper, and I cracking up. She didn't want to turn around, you could tell it in her body language. I would bet that her face was a lovely shade of red right about now. This I know because I only bet on sure things and Bella blushing is always a sure thing. Also, I knew Bella well enough to know that she knew I was grinning at her embarrassment and that she wished she was brave enough to wipe the smirk off my face.

Eventually, she turned around and looked me straight in the eye.

"Wouldn't you like to be the one to show me? But then again, I may end up showing you a thing or two." Bella smirked at me, before turning and heading towards the Hummer.

Apparently, the doors were locked, since I saw her pull the extra set of keys out of her pocket, unlock the doors, and climb in.

What the hell! I know she didn't!

Alice, Rose, Jasper, and Emmett were laughing and howling and I just stood there staring after her. I couldn't believe that she had just said that to me! Thoughts of kissing her flooded my mind.

The opening of doors and everyone climbing in the Hummer pulled me out of my thoughts. I grabbed the keys out of my pocket, sliding into the driver's seat, and starting the engine before pulling out and heading to the restaurant. Bella's nervousness was coming from her in waves. She was smart enough to know that I wasn't going to let that comment pass and eventually, I would get payback. Payback is always a bitch! However; first, I had to get images of kissing her out of my mind.

Kicking off her sandals, Bella pulled her knees up and leaned her head against them, letting her newly shortened hair hide her face. Her hair actually looked pretty cute with the auburn and blonde highlights, maybe even sexy. Wait hold up! This is Bella, my little sister's bff and bane of my existence for the last year, thoughts of her looking cute and sexy and kissing her, did not belong in my head!

"Hey! Bells," Emmett laughed, pulling me out of my thoughts once again, "what exactly are you planning to show Edward?"

"Yeah Bella! Or maybe you want Edward to show you something." Jasper smirked.

Smack!

"Ouch! Rose!" They both yelled.

Apparently, their comments had earned them both head smacks from Rose.

"But she said..," Jasper started. "Damn Alice, what was that for?"

"If you are smart, you won't finish that comment." Alice huffed. "Both of you need to leave Bella alone, she's been through enough for one day."

Even though Alice and Rose had Bella's back and were warning Jasper and Emmett to back off, I was still going to have some fun.

"Alice, I trust that the rest of Bella's purchases will be delivered next week." I said as I pulled into the restaurant parking lot, finding a park close to the door.

The silence was almost deafening and as soon as I pulled to a stop, Alice threw open the door and jumped out without acknowledging my statement, heading into the restaurant. Finally, Bella turned to look at me, while that others followed Alice.

"What?" I asked innocently.

"What did you mean about stuff being delivered?" she questioned.

I could almost see the sense of dread that overtook her, as some of the color drained from her face. By now, she had to have realized that Alice had texted me pictures of the clothes and getting my approval on what I wanted her to wear.

"Bella," I started. "We've already had this discussion a few times today. What I say goes. Period. No discussion. I texted Alice a list of what I wanted and if it's not delivered next week, then I will personally take you shopping in Seattle next weekend!"

"Excuse me! I don't…," she started, her facing turning red, as her voice started rising in anger.

"Enough Bella!" I scowled, before jumping out and heading towards the restaurant to join the others. That girl was doing her best to tear my nerves up. One minute I was thinking about kissing her, the next I wanted to strangle her!

As soon as I stepped in the restaurant, Alice was in my face.

"What was that back there?" She questioned. "Do you just like throwing me under the bus and trying to destroy my friendship with Bella. First you trick me into this bet, then you have me doing your dirty work for you!"

"Back off Alice!" I said through gritted teeth. "You were the one that wanted the bet."

I turned away from Alice and noticed that Rose had walked back outside and was talking to Bella who was still sitting in the Hummer. After a few minutes and Rose laughing about something, I saw Bella get out and they headed towards the restaurant.

They didn't join us right away, but headed towards the restrooms were Alice joined them. After about ten minutes, they joined us with Rose shooting daggers at me while Bella avoided looking at me. Finally, our hostess came up to us and asked us to follow her to our table. We were seated and the waitress took our orders.

"So, what did you guys do while we were off being pampered?" Alice inquired after our waitress had left, promising to bring our drinks and appetizers right away.

"We played a couple of rounds of paintball, which I totally dominated." Emmett replied.

"In your dreams dude!" Jasper laughed. "Winning three out of six rounds does not equal domination, especially when I won two and Ed won the last one."

"By the way," I interrupted, "we checked out the movies playing in town and didn't find anything interesting. How do all of you feel about heading back home after we eat? We can just hang out by the pool, then watch some movies on Netflix."

"That sounds good to me." Alice replied. "I'm actually a little tired from all the shopping we did today. Bella and Rose can just crash at our place tonight."

"Alice actually being tired from shopping, that's a first!" Emmett laughed.

"I'm just hurt that she didn't include me in the sleepover plans." Jasper smirked.

Alice just glared at both of them. The waitress arrived with our drinks and orders of mozzarella sticks, which Bella dove right into. Apparently, someone was starving! Everyone kept up the small talk, trying to agree on which movies we would watch when we got home and after about fifteen minutes, the waitress had brought our food out. The food was delicious and everyone, excluding Emmett, ended up taking leftovers home. After we settled the bill, we headed out to the Hummer and back to Forks. Bella called her dad to let him know that she was staying with Alice the rest of the weekend. Apparently, he didn't mind since he was working.

The ride home was fairly quiet, with just the radio playing and an occasional comment from Emmett or Jasper. Bella stayed quiet, just staring out the window. Before long, we had arrived back home and decided to skip the swimming pool and go straight for the movie marathon. Emmett, Jasper, and I refused to give in to a chick flick or sparkly vampire night and finally agreed to a "Fast and Furious" marathon, before heading into the kitchen to grab the snacks and drinks. The girls were in charge of grabbing the pillows and blankets, since we would probably end up crashing on the huge sectional in the family room.

When we walked back into the family room with the snacks, the girls were already settled on the couch with Alice and Bella on one end and Rose in the middle. Emmett snuggled up next to Rose, while Jasper and I settled on the other end of the couch with plenty of room between us. Rose and Emmett would be the only snuggle bunnies tonight. Alice started the movie and turned off the lights, before settling back on the couch. As the movie started, I saw Bella sneak a glance at me, only to meet my gaze. She quickly turned away, focusing on the television screen.

The rest of the night, I would catch her sneaking glances, then hiding behind her pillow when I would catch her. You could even see her blush at being caught, when the light from the television would brighten the room. She actually looked cute doing that. Maybe the next few weeks would be more interesting than I had originally thought.
