Christmas Invitation (BPOV)
The snow was really starting to bug me, but thanks to the snow we now had another day added to our Christmas vacation; which is always a plus, even if snow is horrid most of the time. I sat in my room listening to music when I heard a car pull up into the driveway. I decided to ignore it and let Charlie get it, but five seconds later I heard him yell up to me. I came down the stairs and was nearly tackled by Alice.
"Hi Bella!" Alice laughed. "Isn't the snow just wonderful!"
"Not particularly." I huffed.
"Eh, party pooper." Alice sighed heavily, disappointed. "So, can you come with us this Sunday?"
Oh, crap! I thought to myself. I definitely hadn't told Charlie about the trip I was invited to go on with the Cullens.
"What's happening Sunday?" Charlie asked suspiciously.
"The Cullens take a trip to Seattle during Christmas break. We stay up there for the week before Christmas so that we can join in on all of the festivities of winter and Christmas." Alice said in one breath, rocking from heel to toe, heel to toe. "Carlisle and Esme invited Bella to come along with us this time."
"Who would be going?" Charlie asked suspiciously.
"Esme, Carlisle, Emmett, Edward, Corin, Jasper, Rose, Bella, Annabelle, and myself." Alice grinned happily. "It is so much fun, cause all of us girls get to hang out together, like one HUGE slumber party. And every year we prank each other's rooms… See, we get two rooms so that Esme can hang out with us awesome girls and Carlisle gets to hang out with the guys. It's kind of our family tradition that is so much fun." Again, Alice spoke every word in one breath, which never ceases to amaze me.
"Hmm. Do you want to go, Bells?" Charlie wondered.
"Yeah…" I said resisting the urge to bite my bottom lip.
"Then have fun, and don't let Alice influence you to do anything." Charlie winked and left the room.
"I am a good role model!" Alice shrieked. "Aren't I Bella? Am I?"
"Of course." I chuckled.
"Thank goodness, Esme would have a fit otherwise…" Alice sighed. "Okay, so I'll see you on Sunday. Make sure to pack a lot of clothes, a bathing suit, a very warm coat, and an IPod." Alice nodded. "I have to go… I need to pick up Annie from ju-jitsu, before she freaks out about being left behind. Bye!" Alice kissed my cheek and left my house quickly.
Ju-Jitsu? I wondered to myself, shaking my head.
…
I was completely packed and ready to go. Just in time, because I heard loud, rapid knocking on the door. I opened the door to little Alice and Annie. They ran past me without so much as a hello to grab my bags. "Guys, I can carry the bags."
"Nope!" Alice insisted grabbing my hand and dragging me out to the car. Annie gave me a sympathetic look and placed all of my bags in the trunk. Annie got in the front seat while Alice sat next to me in the back seat. Unfortunately, she had a look on her face that meant business.
"What is it Alice?" I asked curiously.
"We are going to Seattle, where there happens to be several store that I enjoy shopping in. If you care about me at all, you will not protest to me shopping for you while we are in Seattle." Alice said with a pout.
"Alice—" I protested.
"Don't you love me?" Alice asked with wide eyes. I sighed, this girl was impossible for me to say no to her.
"Fine…"
"YAY!" Alice squealed loudly and hugged me tightly.
"Just don't go insane." I warned.
"Have I ever?" Alice wondered. Annie nodded insistently from the front seat. "I can see that!" Alice snapped.
"Annie's right." I laughed. Alice pouted and folded her hands over her chest angrily. Annie laughed loudly with me and pulled into her driveway. She gave the keys to Esme who was standing outside of the car, then she got into the back seat with Alice and I. Rose got in the front seat and Esme got into the driver's seat.
"We gave the boys a head start, so they could come close to beating us." Esme chuckled.
"What car did they take?" Annabelle asked.
"The Vanquish." Rose stated. Annabelle and Alice looked deep in thought.
"Considering the weight ratio's and the differing speeds of the car…" Annabelle started.
"Based on the different routes we are taking…" Alice thought aloud.
"Based on the stops they make and stop we make…" Annabelle smiled as Esme pulled onto the road.
"WE'LL BEAT THEM!" Alice and Annabelle cheered together. "With seventeen minutes and twenty two seconds to spare." Alice continued.
"Calm down Alice… We don't need you to be so exact." Esme grinned.
"I like to be…"
"You know, some of us actually use math, Alice." Annie teased.
"I used math!"
"Not!" Rose coughed.
"Alice…you almost failed Algebra 1." I said slowly. "If anyone used math it was Annie."
"Oh, you are just jealous 'cause I can see the future." Alice rolled her eyes.
"Sure we are…" I smiled.
"Oh, hush up, all of you."
"That's no fun." Annie stated with an angelic pout.
"Well, then quit teasing me."
We stopped once to get gas and load the car with sweets and drinks of every kind. When we arrived at the hotel Annabelle instantly started a stop watch, and timed how long it took for the boys to park next to us. 17 minutes and 22 seconds exactly.
"Guess who's right again." Alice smirked, getting out of the car to tease the guys.
The grand entryway to the hotel was a little too extravagant. Chandeliers, paintings, and a huge grand piano. The man at the counter happened to be very flirty, which made Annabelle and Alice a little too jittery. Corin and Jasper took a hold of them while Edward and Emmett sent glares at the man until he understood the gesture. The man at the counter then found a way to get distracted as quickly as possible.
As soon as Esme and Carlisle left to lead everyone up to the room, Edward and Emmett turned to the man behind the counter. "Listen, If I ever catch you looking at my sisters like that again, I will not hesitate to harm you." Edward nearly growled.
"You better keep your eyes to yourself from now on." Emmett added. "If I hear either of them tell me that you so much as glanced at them, I will have no trouble helping my brother beat the ever lovin snot out of you. Are we clear?"
"Y-yes." The man said instantly.
"Good." Edward glared, grabbing my hand and striding away quickly to catch up with Esme and Carlisle. I loved how protective Edward and Emmett were over their family, they even treated me that way…all of them did. I felt as though I was meant to be with the Cullens. They just had a way of making people feel at home.
The rooms the Cullen's rented were huge. I didn't even know that hotels had that big of rooms before now. Alice took me by the hand and pulled me into the large room. "DIBS!" Rose shouted jumping on the huge bed instantly.
"That means you need to share, Rose." Esme grinned. I jumped onto the bed with Rose and Esme took the smaller bed. Annie and Alice ran to the couch that was long enough for both of them to lay in different directions while still having room in-between them. I laughed at the picture.
"HUSH UP BELLA! JUST 'CAUSE WE ARE SHORT DOESN'T GIVE YOU ANY RIGHT TO TEASE US 'MISS AVERAGE HEIGHT!'" Alice and Annie shouted at the same time.
"It kind of does, dears." Esme sighed. Carlisle came around the corner with Jasper.
"Quiet down, Ali." Jasper grinned.
"Jeez Bells I can here you from the stairway…" Carlisle stated, pretending to clear out his ears.
"I wasn't loud." I stated defensively.
"Sorry Bella," Carlisle smiled kindly at me. "I met Annabelle, she had 'Bell' in her name too, I'm sorry for the confusion. Hush up Annie." Carlisle fixed his mistake with a wink in my direction.
"But Daddy, Bella was teasing me and Alice." Annabelle pouted angelically.
"Bella is far too nice to tease." Carlisle contradicted.
"BUT—" Annie complained.
"Quiet down…" Carlisle sighed. He smiled at Annie mischievously and Annie smiled back.
"Okay." Annie laughed.
