Chapter 9
"Hmm…how do I explain." I muttered to myself, her eyes held curiosity in them, I smiled. "How about I show you after.?" I asked her, her eyes went wide for a minute, in alarm, I frowned.
"Unless of course you don-" I started saying but she cut me off mid sentence. "Okay." Bella said her eyes held excitement and a hint of confusion in them. I laughed
E.P.O.V
I drove down the path to my house watching Bella the entire time. This was the first time she's been back to my house, knowing about our secret. I could hear everyone's thoughts clearly from inside the house. All of them were focusing on Bella, even Rosalie's! Now that surprised me.
I drove into the garage and parked the car next to Alice's Porsche. Apparently Emmett and Jasper were telling what Bella and I had just did to poor Mike, and Lauren. I laughed.
"What?" Bella stared at me with questionable eyes. "It seems our little prank is being told in the other room." I laughed. "Great." she muttered and stepped out of the car. I followed after her.
We walked thought the garage door and into the kitchen, I put my arm around Bella's waist without even realizing it. Emmett had stopped talking for a second and looked up at us, a giant grin was on his face.
She smiled up at me, as we walked into the living room. "Hey Bella!" Alice squeaked, she patted next to her on the couch for Bella to sit down. Jasper had began talking, finishing where Emmett left off. Bella pulled me over to the couch to sit down next to her. I drowned out Jasper's voice and smiled at Bella.
'So what's this mean? Are you two going out now?' Alice's voice sung into my head. I shrugged, not taking my eyes off of Bella, she was laughing with Emmett describing how Mike's face looked. "And now he still thinks I'm interested in him!" Bella's voice turned sour at the end, making me smile.
B.P.O.V
' I don't know why I was so nervous before…It's like I've known their secret all along, everything's back to normal.' I thought, mentally slapping myself for thinking it couldn't be, I
looked down at the ground and laughed. "So where did you guys put the table?" I felt Edward's body move, as he chuckled.
I looked right at Jasper and Emmett and rolled my eyes. They both grinned at me. "It's in the trash, we're getting a new one tomorrow." Esme's voice chimed in, she gave a stern look to the two snickering vampires who were on the couch beside her. I laughed tiredly.
"Are you tired Bella?" Edward whispered, I looked up at him. "No." I lied, then yawned. He chuckled. "Come on Bella, time for bed." I was about to refuse, until I looked at his smile. I nodded my head, seeming to forget how to talk.
He laughed and pulled me up to his rock hard chest. I blushed. Emmett snickered next to us. I glanced down at him right in time to see Alice hit him on the head. "Goodnight Bella." Carlisle said, giving me a warm smile he nodded. "Goodnight." I said nodding back, before Edward dragged me up the stairs and down the hall. We stopped at a door.
"It's kind of messy, sorry." he said opening up the door to his room. He turned the light on, I looked at him questionably. "This is messy?" I looked around, there was at most four shirts on his floor, but that was it, he shrugged. I rolled my eyes and walked over to his black leather couch.
"Hey Edward can I ask you something?" I said looking around his room, the back wall was all glass, his cds filled up all the other sides of the room. Edward sat down next to me. "Yes love?" he asked, glancing down at my sleepy eyes, he smiled.
"Why don't you have a bed in your room? I've never noticed until now." I said. 'Probably because this is the third time I've come in here.' I thought to myself, glad he couldn't read my thoughts. "I don't really need one…I can't sleep." he muttered under his breath looking into my eyes, making me once again, lost.
"You can't sleep?" I said, when the words had sunk into me. He shook his head. "No." his eyes were burning deep into mine now. "O-Oh." was my brilliant response. "Get some sleep Bella." he whispered, gently pushing me down into the sofa with his cold hands, I shivered. His eyes grew in alarm.
"Bella?" his voice was soft. "I'm fine." I yawned. "Your hands are just cold." I said, seeing a small smile spread across his face before I closed my eyes. "You don't mind sleeping in a house full of vampires?" his voice held amusement in it, but I could hear the real curiosity behind it.
I shook my head. "I'll go get you a pillow and a blanket." he whispered, kissing my forehead quickly. I must have blushed, because I heard a low chuckle vibrate from his body. I smiled and opened my eyes, he was gone.
"Edward?" I asked, sitting up, my eyes searched around his room, and then in a second he appeared in front of me. "Ah!" I screamed and fell backwards on to the couch, my eyes wide in surprise.
I recognized who it was and took in a deep breathe. His eyes roamed my face, probably looking for any trace of fear. "You surprised me." I whispered, smiling up at him. His eyes held relief in them, but he still took cautious steps towards me.
"I'm fine." I said, trying to reassure him. He smiled at my effort, and laid the blanket down on top of me "Thanks." I yawned, snuggling into it, leaning my head up as he placed the pillow in back of it. He smiled down at me.
"Sweet dreams my Isabella." he whispered, I would have frowned when he said my real name but was to tired to notice. He pulled up a chair from the corner of his room to the side of the sofa and sat down. That night was the first night I dreamt about Edward.
E.P.O.V
next morning
I watched her the entire night. I was going to leave once until I heard something that shocked me. 'I love you Edward' the words were still fresh in my mind, she kept mumbling them in her sleep.
"I love you too Isabella." I whispered back, fearing I would never admit it when she was awake. The morning seemed to go fast, as I watched her sleep, she looked beautiful. Her hair was cascaded out across the small sofa, her big brown eyes were hidden from me underneath her lids, her mouth was ajar, her chest rose every time she took in a breathe. I smiled. Her heartbeat was like a lullaby.
"Beautiful." I mumbled to myself, stiffening when she turned in her sleep towards me. "Edward…" she mumbled, making me smile. "I'm here love." I said "I won't leave you." I whispered leaning into her ear. She smiled slightly.
An hour later, she started to wake up. Her lids started to flutter open, a quiet moan escaped her mouth. I watched her like I did last night, quiet not making a sound. She moaned again, and sat up. She reached her arms up above her head and groaned as her muscles stretched out.
Her eyes trying to focus away from the light that shone into my room, soon landed on me. I smiled. "Edward?" Bella asked, rubbing her eyes to make sure it was me. I chuckled. "Hello love." I said giving her a toothy grin, which would make anyone else flinch away from. She smiled back at me. "H-Hi." she said blushing. I arched one of my eyebrows.
"What?" I asked, wishing that I could read her mind. "It's nothing." she whispered, her eyes looking at everything but me. "Bella, don't make me force it out of you, you know I can't read your mind." I said, smirking when she laughed.
"I was thinking about last night." she said, the blush returning to her cheeks. "I can still picture Mike's face in my head." I chuckled remembering how he looked. Wide eyes and jaw tightened. She laughed, then stopped.
"N-Not that part." she said, blushing again, her eyes met mine for a second and then pulled away. "Oh." I said, realizing she meant the kiss. I laughed, making her blush deepen. 'I wonder…' I thought to myself, leaning towards her a little more.
B.P.O.V
'Great, now he's going to think I'm an idiot!' I yelled at myself, I hardly noticed him leaning towards me a little. "You mean this?" he asked, closing the space between us, slow for him.
His lips were freezing like they had been last night, a warning that I should be afraid, I felt his hand slide up my back and tangle into my hair, the other arm was around my waist. Our lips moved in sync with each others. Then all to suddenly it ended. He pulled back, I moaned in protest but did nothing about it. My cheeks had to of been bright pink by now.
"The color of your cheeks is stunning." he whispered in my ear, making me blush even more. He chuckled, unwrapping his arm from my waist with agonizing slowness. "Ahem." Alice's voice came into the room, making my eyes go wide in embarrassment.
"Well I'll leave you two a lone to get ready." Edward said, standing up, he winked at me once, then disappeared. I hardly noticed the look on Alice's face, when I saw what she had in her hand, my eyes went wide. "Oh no! There is no way I'm letting you-!" My voice fell silent at her cry.
"Please Bella! Just this once!" she said walking over to me with, makeup and all. "No" I said flatly, standing up to leave. "Please!!" Alice said giving me her best puppy-dog face. She stuck her bottom lip out and fluttered her eyes at me. I laughed.
"Alice I said no." I said, this was never going to end. "Fine." she breathed out. I blinked did I really win that time? "Emmett!" Alice shrieked, making me cover my ears. "Ugh! Alice!" I screamed, well this is an interesting way to wake up.
All of a sudden Emmett was in front of me. I looked at him then back at Alice. "Alice?" I almost growled, my eyes wide, I stepped back. Emmett laughed. "So you're not scared of a bunch of vampires but you freak out when someone tries putting makeup on you?" Alice laughed, appearing in front of me, I was getting use to that.
"Emmett could you?" Alice chirped to her brother. Emmett's face scared me. I backed away, there was an evil smile on his face, his eyes glistened with amusement. All of a sudden he held my wrist prisoner, I glared up at Alice.
"Oh come on Bella, just this once! Please!" Alice begged, I sighed. "Fine…You won't stop until you get your way anyways." I mumbled the last part to myself, she beamed with happiness.
"Okay…Emmett." Alice nodded towards the door. Emmett started to drag me out of the room, Alice following happily along. "Alice!!" I shrieked hearing, laughs from down stairs I blushed.
Half an hour later Alice was done 'torturing' me. "Are you happy now?" I asked rolling my eyes, she still hadn't let me look in the mirror.
"Very." she said, brushing my hair out one more time. I tried pulling my hands up to touch it. "Um…Emmet." I said trying to retrieve my hands from his grip.
"Opps…sorry Bells." He said releasing me from his iron hold. "It's okay." I said, smiling at him, he grinned back.
"Well can I see what your abusing me of hair protects and makeup has accomplished?" I asked sarcasm dripping from my voice. She giggled, and handed me a mirror. I looked into it.
"Alice…wow." I breathed in, looking into the mirror. Against my better judgment, I had let her put some light colored eye shadow on my lids, and dark brown mascara on my lashes, not to much, but enough for it to lighten the color of my eyes a little.
I knew it would look better then the time I had tried to apply makeup to my face, that was horrible, two words, train wreck. I blushed when I looked up. Edward was staring at me. Read the Author's Note!

P.S Here's a small preview to the next chapter!
"Are you coming Bella?…Or do you want me to drag you out?" I chuckled, at the blush on her face. She turned and opened the door, stepping out into the fresh air. I did the same, noticing that my family was already walking to the doors of the school. Her hair blew in my direction in the wind, it hypnotized me into a bloodthirsty trance. I looked around, making sure nobody was looking, and raced around my Volvo at vampire speed, appearing in front of Bella, her face was inches from mine. . Okay so now review!!
