Song for this chapter-----Paramore – CrushCrushCrush
''stark!. I was..just....uh..'' crap, what could I say. I was sniffing your laundry?.
Don't think so!.
he grinned widely ''you were inhaling my clothes''
I was now the colour of a tomato.
''I like your cologne'' I told him. It wasn't technically a lie.
''uh huh, so you like my cologne, but instead of smelling that you smell my shirt?'' he nodded sarcasticly
this was so embarrassing.
''can we just go, please. I'm hungry'' I said tossing him his bag and picking up jacks.
''OK. We can talk about it back at the house'' he said turning towards the door.
I grabbed his arm ''or we could talk about it now''
he laughed. ''so, why were you sniffing my clothes?''
''I like your smell, there I said it. My senses are going nuts and I suddenly have super smell, I like how you smell'' I found that being honest didn't make me blush as much.
He dropped the bag on the floor and moved towards me.
''well I like how you smell, so does that mean I get to smell you'' he asked.
''are we really talking about smelling one another?'' I laughed
he leaned his head in to my neck and inhaled ''so lets not talk'' he whispered as his lips brushed my collar bone.
My breathing became ragged and I was glued to the spot.
His lips lightly moved up my jay, then he moved them back down and along my neck. Gently nipping my ear with his teeth.
That almost sent me in to a frenzy. I moaned and grabbed the front of his jacket.
Pulling him closer I felt the hardness in his jeans and gasped.
This was all new to me. Edward was always so controlled.
Not anymore. Control be damned, I was going to get on with my life and live it to the Max.
his kissing became more urgent as my hands slid under his top and up his chest.
But fate had other plans it seemed because both our phones began ringing at the same time.
He pulled back and looked at my eyes ''wanna ignore them?'' he grinned
I bit my lip ''no. we'd better get back. We've been ages''
now it was his turn to groan.
I pulled out my phone.
Jacob
''hello''
''where are you?'' he asked
''at the hotel with stark, why''
''your what?
''picking up everyone's stuff. I did tell Aphrodite''
''oh right''
''so What's up?''
''nothing I was just worried''
I laughed ''I'm a big girl Jake, but thanks for caring''
''I'll be back in ten'' I added and ended the call.
''god they are worse than parents'' stark laughed
he had already finished his call
''they thought we had been arrested'' he laughed
''well, I thought we were going to before you told me about the whole mind control hublah'' I told him
we picked up the discarded bags and headed out to the car.
There were no weird or awkward silences this time.
It felt good.
After returning the keys to the manager stark came over to where I was putting the bags in the trunk.
He put his hands on to my shoulder blades ''hey there, shoulder blades. I thought they were wings''
I groaned and rolled my eyes ''they're getting worse. And what is with the randomness of when you say them?''
''the best time for a line is when the other person least expects it'' he said opening the door for me.
I shook my head and got in.
we stopped at the garage for some ice cream for jack then went straight home.
As I was getting out of the car I noticed the time. It was almost half past one in the morning.
God no wonder they were all worried we left at about eight.
We grabbed the stuff out of the back and went inside.
Everyone minus Jacob was sat round the kitchen table.
''were back'' I called I walked in.
''about time. I was actually worried. Me, Worried about some one else'' Aphrodite said with her hand on her heart.
I threw jack the Ben and jerry's. He squealed like a girl, making everyone laugh.
I started putting the blood in to the bottom compartment in the fridge.
''OK, so if anyone asks, Darius is a mad scientist and keeps his experiments in this part'' I said laughing.
''agreed, but only of he gets to dress up as a doctor'' Aphrodite said licking her lips.
''forget that'' stark said grabbing a few blood bags for Darius and jack
''playing doctor is for kids! Lets play gynaecologist'' he winked at me.
Darius laughed so loudly I thought Charlie would here four miles away.
''oh hey, your back'' Jacob said walking in to the room.
''hey Jake, what are you still doing here?'' I said
he didn't answer he just looked at me then stark and his jaw clenched.
''I'm just going now, can I talk to you for a sec Bella'' he said and turned to walk outside.
I looked at everyone who looked as puzzled as me and shrugged following him.
He was sat on the porch steps.
''What's up?'' I asked
he stood up.
''can I ask you a question Bella, its kinda personal''
''okay, what is it''
''why can I smell James stark all over you and you on him?''
that caught me off guard. Damn them werewolf senses.
''he told me something that upset him and I hugged him. Why?''
he shook his head ''doesn't matter. I better go, the pack wanna go for a run. Goodnight Bella''
''nite'' I replied as he disappeared
I turned and went back inside.
What did it matter to him if I smelled like stark for gods sake.
''where's Jake?'' asked jack as soon as I walked in
''gone for a run with his pack'' I told him as he pouted.
''wrong team'' Aphrodite said with a sneer.
He stuck his tongue out at her.
''what did he want?'' Aphrodite asked
''he uh...''
''its none of our business my beauty'' Darius said kissing her hand
''oh business smisness. What did he want?'' she asked again
''for some strange reason he wanted to know why I smelt like stark'' I said with a laugh.
Aphrodite's eyebrows were almost in her hair
''and why does she smell like you?'' she asked stark
''because we made out in the car then went to a hotel'' he said with a mouth full of jelly beans.
Everyone stared at him, including me.
He laughed ''kidding! I told her our story and she hugged me''
I yawned and suddenly realised how tired I was. I had been up for almost two days.
''I'm off to bed'' I said mid yawn
''me too'' jack said standing up
we all said good night and I went upstairs to my new room, in my new house.
What a day!, I was so glad it was the weekend and I could stay in bed tomorrow.
I got undressed and put on a pair of silky pink shorts and matching top.
Touching my lips, I smiled thinking about stark.
I was asleep in minutes.
When I woke up I was confused, no light, it was pitch black.
Stumbling my way across the room I got my mobile off the dresser where I left it last night.
One o'Clock pm
shit!. I had never slept in this late before, and I was starving.
Remembering that I hadn't even yesterday, I got up and went for a shower.
After getting dressed in Gray sweat pants and a white tank top I headed downstairs.
Aphrodite was the only one up ''morning sleepyhead'' she grinned.
''morning, more like afternoon'' I said pouring a coffee
I suddenly I looked round. Everything was neat and perfect and all the boxes and bags had been unpacked.
''who?...''I started to ask but Aphrodite cut me off
''stark. He also went to the twenty-four hour food store and stocked up, look'' she opened up the fridge. It was full of everything you could imagine.
''wow, he did all this?'' I walked in to the now finished living room. That too looked perfect, all my DVD's were on the shelf, he had even placed the candles I had bought yesterday in the bookcase.
The house had no natural light coming in it but it still looked great.
''yep, he did it all after Darius and I went to bed''
I was touched, ''are you hungry?''
''famished, What's on the menu?'' she asked plopping herself in the chair.
It was obvious she had also only recently got up herself.
''strawberry's and pancakes'' I said reaching for the eggs
''ooo yummy'' jack said from the door way.
His hair was tousled and he still had on star wars pyjamas, he looked adorable.
I set to work on the pancakes while Aphrodite chopped the strawberry's.
''so I think I can control humans minds now, like stark'' I said as I poured batter in to a pan.
''That's seriously cool'' jack said as he scooped up a hand full of jelly beans from the bowl on the table.
''are you going to mess with mike?'' Aphrodite grinned wickedly.
I laughed ''that is just what I said to stark last night''
''jack?'' Aphrodite said over her shoulder ''can you run and get dressed, your geekish night clothes are putting me off my food''
jack looked suspicious but when she raised her eyebrows he smiled and skipped out.
''so'' she said as soon as he was gone
''so, what?'' I asked flipping a pancake
''you like arrow boy, huh'' she gave me a knowing look
I just gave her a look that said 'why do you think that'.
She rolled her eyes ''come on, I no when someone is 'in' to someone else. And you two are so into each other''
I copied her and rolled my eyes.
''eye roll at me all you like, its still true'' she smirked
I dished out the pancakes and put a warm plate over jacks.
''OK, you win. I do like him'' I told her
she smiled knowingly ''I know, so why did you really smell like him last night?''
I hesitated ''will you keep it a secret''
she crossed her heart with her finger.
''OK, we kissed'' I told her
she laughed ''well I think you two would be perfect together''
after that we chatted about other things in case someone overheard us.
Jack came back down and dug in to his food.
''ohmygod, this is so good'' he said with his mouth full
''oh, I forgot. Were kinda having a party'' I told them
''oh yay, I love parties'' jack squealed
''we need to go shopping for a dress'' Aphrodite said before slumping forward on the table.
I jumped up ''Aphrodite!''
''realisation dawned on jacks face ''she's having a vision''
he got up and walked round to us ''Aphrodite, honey tell me what you see?'
she moaned ''he's killing her'' she gasped
''killing who?'' he asked rubbing her back
''the council'' she said before opening her eyes. They were a faint pinkish tint to them.
''nothing we can do'' she told jack
he nodded mutely.
''are you OK?, who was killing who?'' I asked her.
She took a drink of water ''Kalona was killing a council member''
she shook her head ''so when is the party going to be?''
''oh um, I dunno''
''how about tonight?, no school tomorrow'' she said.
That was true, and I suppose I could round people up by phone.
''OK. Tonight'' I replied with a smile
I took out my phone and wrote out a message saying there was a house warming party tonight at seven and my address and telling them to bring a friend. I sent it to everyone at school who's phone number I had.
''done'' I told them.
''great, lets go shopping'' Aphrodite said grabbing my hand.
Before I knew it we were almost in port Angeles.
We went to the clothes store and tried on about fifty different dresses before we found anything we liked.
Aphrodite found a red dress that was perfect for her. It was suede with a v neck and hugged all her curves, ending just below her knee.
I found a mint green strapless dress that flared out at the waist with tiny patterns round the hem.
It was a little shorter than I was used to but it looked, as Aphrodite so crudely put it 'fucking sexy as hell'
we got shoes from the same store then made our way to the electrical store.
Aphrodite wrote out a cheque and bought a huge stereo and even bigger speakers, disco lights and a smoke machine.
''its a house party not a night club'' I laughed
on the way back home we popped in to see Charlie at work.
''hey dad'' I said spotting him eating a doughnut
''hey girls, what brings you here?''
''were having a house warming party and just thought we'd tell you'' I said waiting for the explosion.
He looked like he was about to start shouting but then he smiled
''well you kids have fun, its not like you've got any neighbours to annoy''
I was totally shocked
''OK, dad I'll see you soon. I guess'' I said ''oh dad could you have duchess stay with you tonight please, the music and lights might scare her''
''sure, drop her off later. Have fun''
''bye chief swan'' Aphrodite waved.
''that was easy'' I said as we got back in the car.
''he's just happy your happy'' she said
that was probably true. I was happy.
We pulled up at the house and went inside. It was empty.
The boys were still asleep.
''they will be up an about half an hour'' Aphrodite said looking at her watch.
It was half past four.
I decided to make them some food for when they woke up, so I set about making bacon and eggs with hash browns and mushrooms.
Jack came in from the living room followed by Jacob.
''I am going to so love living here. You can cook! Actually cook'' jack said giddily.
''Hey Jake, want some food'' I smiled
''do I ever say no to your cooking'' he laughed
''Jacob, will you help me bring in the electrical goodies I bought for tonight''
Aphrodite asked
''tonight?'' Jacob looked puzzled
''were having a party'' I told him
''wicked, can I bring a friend or two?'' he asked
''sure'' I laughed
he went out to get the stuff out of the car.
''something smells good'' stark said coming down the stairs
''something looks it'' I mumbled to Aphrodite who burst out laughing
everyone looked at the two of us.
I nudged her with my elbow to shut her up.
He was once again shirtless with a pair of loose fitting blue jeans on.
He came across to see what I was cooking.
Standing behind me he said ''I could get used to this''
''were having the party tonight'' I said moving away before my body combusted with desire.
Darius came downstairs and kissed Aphrodite passionately.
Jacob came back in carrying the stereo.
All eyes averted from the kissing couple.
''hey Bella'' stark said taking a piece of my hair between his fingers ''I got skittles in my mouth......wanna taste the rainbow?''
I burst out laughing. Jake narrowed his eyes at stark.
''that was a little better'' I told him with a nudge.
Everyone was looking at us like we were crazy.
''right!'' Aphrodite snapped, taking the attention away from us ''Bella and I are going to go get ready. You four set the place up for the party''
I dished out the food then followed her upstairs.
''I'll do your hair if you do my make up'' Aphrodite said as we took our bags in to my bedroom.
''deal'' I grinned
it was fun doing things with Aphrodite. Since meeting her I had changed somewhat, I was now comfortable as myself and not one bit self conscious.
Well that could be more because becoming Hyuman had made me ravishing.
Aphrodite left her hair down and I did her smoky dark eyes and blood red shiny lips, she looked like a stereotypical hot vamp.
I went for green eye liner and a touch of peachy coloured shadow to make my eyes stand out. And Aphrodite straightened my hair and twisted it to the side of my neck in a elegant knot.
''we look hot!, if I do say so myself'' Aphrodite winked at herself in the mirror.
I laughed as she blew kisses at herself.
I sat on the bed to put on the shoes.
My vision became blurry and suddenly I wasn't looking at Aphrodite anymore.
I was looking at myself!
I was having a vision!
OK, OK I no you guys are waiting for some action and it will ALL happen after the party!
