We arrived at Alice's obnoxious yellow Porsche, with the two vampires besides me lugging ridiculous amounts of bags hanging from each arm. It was funny to see little Alice hold up dozens of bags as if they weighed nothing, but I guess to her they kinda did.
"Shotgun!" I yelled, skipping to the passenger side. Edward slipped into the drivers side and Alice rolled her eyes but settled into the back.
"Be careful driving my baby," Alice warned. I doubted Edward would need to be careful. Much like Alice said earlier to me on our way over, vampires could drive with their eyes closed and still have better reflexes than any human.
Weird flex, but okay I had murmured. She looked at me weirdly but shrugged it off as I chuckled. I pouted at the memory. I flicked through the radio scowling at the ridiculous amount of country music playing.
"Jazz likes country," Alice piped up from the back.
"I need to have a chat with that man. This just won't do," I tutted, connecting my phone to the aux.
"Welcome to the wonderful world of punk and emo." I then began singing along to my Panic! At The Disco playlist, trying to head bang and whip my hair around without hitting my head on the dashboard. Edward and Alice were laughing at my expense but I was too hyped up to care.
"Say what you mean! Tell me I'm right! And let the sun rain down on me!" I sung as I jumped out the car and danced my way into the living room.
"Woah Mona Lisa I'd pay to see you frown!" Emmett's laughed was loud as he guffawed. I finished off the song, pausing my phone, pushing the hair from my flushed face to greet the people in the living room.
"Hey guys! What you guys been up to?" Jasper was still on his chair reading another book and Emmett had some game on the TV. Esme was looking at what looked like blue prints on the sofa.
"Nothing much, I take it you had fun?" Esme smiled at me and I nodded.
"We got these sweet clothes and they're just the bomb and I can't wait to go to school and be rad." Jasper raised his brow at me, once he had kissed Alice as a greeting.
"I'm trying to learn all the proper slang. Get down with the kids my G," I made some absured hand gestures and my attempt at a gangsta look.
"If you think that's weird, you should have seen her follow some teenagers around the mall and mock them," Edward piped up.
"Gathering intel, I was simply gathering intel and I'm sure a military man like you would appreciate the thought behind my actions right?" I nudged Jasper's elbow with mine, well tried to anyways. But all I got was another raised brow and absurd look.
I pouted.
"You guys are no fun. How have you not died of boredom I wonder," I flopped onto the sofa besides Esme, feeling the exhaustion in my feet from standing all day.
"We have fun! They just involve getting into deadly wrestling matches with bears," Emmett protested.
"Cool! Who wins?" I asked smiling at him. He mock gasped, feigning hurt and began flexing his muscles. I felt like his shirt was going to rip from how hard he was flexing.
"You guess," he grunted.
I stood up and gasped, touching his flexed bicep. He smirked down at me. I gave him a sympathetic look, patting his back in a comforting gesture.
"Don't worry Emmy, you'll win one day, don't give up," I immediately jumped away before he could grab me as he protested.
"How could you insult me like that?" He shrieked and slowly approached me with a mischeavous smirk on his face. I squealed, walking around the sofas to get away from him. He quickened his pace and I began running as he chased me around the room, laughing and snorting the whole way.
"Careful Emmett," Esme warned as I narrowly avoided tripping over Jasper's legs. His smirk widened as did his strides and he got closer to me, his fingers gently tugging on my hair. I squealed and ran towards Edward who hovered by the door, hiding behind him and clinging to the back of his shirt for safety.
"Come on, I think that's enough. You must be hungry," Edward murmured turning towards me. I glanced at Emmett who was giving me daggers over Edwards shoulder.
"I'll get you one day human. You better sleep with one eye open!" He warned. I laughed.
"As long as you don't forget Old Man," I retorted. He made a move to get to me but Esme's warning stopped him.
"Emmett, let the girl eat and rest, I'm sure she's tired." He hugged but complied and I just winked at him as his eyes narrowed at me.
"Come on, let's get you some food," Edwards hand on my waist snapped me out of my giggles and I realised I was still clinging to his shirt and let go, noticing the creases and wrinkles my fingers made. His eyes were a darker caramel as they gazed down at me.
Maybe Bella was right with this whole dazzling thing I literally forgot myself around Edward.
"Yeah okay," I managed, the words coming out breathy.
Way to go Van Helsing, getting dazzled by a vampire. I shook my head at the irony at that and made my way to the kitchen.
