La Bella Italia Chapter 11
It was finally Friday.
I exhaled slowly as Alice finished up the curling of my long brown hair. We had survived a week and by We I am referring to Edward and me. Granted only a few knew about the developed relationship, but it was still a positive survival in my book.
"Okay all done Bella and just in time," Alice exclaimed as she turned my chair toward the mirror so I could take a look at my reflection. My brown eyes were brighten by purple eye shadow, with black mascara on my top and bottom lashes. There was no need for foundation since my blush took care of my cheeks and the look was concluded with soft curls falling perfectly around my facial frame. I did not even recognize the beautiful girl staring back at me.
"Thank Ali, I look so…,"
"Gorgeous?" Alice interrupted me with raised eyebrows. I nodded my head, eyes still attached to the reflection in the mirror before me.
"Different, pretty, gorgeous if you say so" I finished as Love on Top by Beyonce filled the room.
"Hello," Alice answered her cell as I adjusted the blue tight skinny jeans and the dark blue and yellow cropped number 2 jersey-Edward's number-which barely covered my flat belly that Alice somehow wrestled me into. I was not worried about advertising our relationship because almost every upperclassman girl and maybe some underclassman too, had a Cullen 2 Jersey. The jerseys were sold out at the school store not even two weeks into the beginning of the school year. I was, to my excitement, the only girl who had the pleasure of wearing an original jersey. Edward gave it to me after the school decided to order the sport teams new uniforms.
"Rose is outside," Alice snapped in my face to regain my attention. "Where were you anyway? I turn around and you're staring absentmindedly in the mirror."
"It's nothing I was just thinking," I answered quickly before getting up and putting on my dark blue flats. I threaten to burn Alice's whole wardrobe if she gave me heels. She didn't take me seriously until I included Emmett in my arson plans. "Ready to go?" I asked as she placed her yellow wedges on her feet before grabbing her purse and foam finger. "You're seriously bringing that?" I voiced the next question in disbelief. Alice shrugged.
"I like team spirit," she concluded as we made our way down the Cullen's long staircase and out the front door.
"About time you guys came out. I was just about to leave you both. Hurry up, we're going to be late," Rose yelled out as Alice and I rushed down the drive way and jumped into her red BMW. "Jeesh, what took you two so long anyway?" Rose commented as she raced down the road.
"It takes time to get football ready," Alice rolled her eyes at Rose before glancing down at her cell. "I just text Jas to tell him we are on our way. They are warming up right now."
"Good, I thought we were going to be later than that," Rose commented as she pulled into the stadium parking lot. Yeah, we had two different parking lots. I rolled my eyes.
"Yes Rose, we would have been sooo late with your driving," I completed dryly as she flipped me off.
"Come on guys, I want a good seat," Alice exclaimed as she hopped out of the back seat, her form finger attached to her hip.
"Where did she get that foam finger from?" Rose asked me quietly as we followed a jumpy Cullen towards the stadium entrance.
"Don't ask me, she pulled it out of some dark corner in her room," I shrugged causing us both to laugh not so quietly.
"I don't know what you guys are laughing at but hurry up," Alice called from behind her as we swiped our student I.D cards through the scanner to get in. There was another entrance for guests with tickets or were paying at the door. Fork High students were always free at home games. The stadium was filled with blue and yellow attire as the energetic atmosphere gave the building an excited feeling. The unbeaten Forks High Wild Cats were playing the very good 4 and 1 Catons High Eagles. Their defense would be one of the hardest we've played against.
"Let's get some food before the game starts so we don't have to keep getting up every quarter," Rose suggested as we made our way toward the hot dog vendors. I was right behind them before a strong hand grabbed my wrist and pulled me behind an open door.
"What the hell!" I fumed as I turned to meet soft green eyes. "Edward," I slapped him on the arm, glaring at his handsome amused face. "What the hell? Don't do that again," I hit his hard chest before his large hands grabbed my small ones. He quickly pulled me into a kiss while pushing me up against the wall behind me. At first, I tried to resent, but once his hands traced down my thighs before gripping and picking them up to wrap around his waist, I receded and gave him my all.
"I'm sorry," he whispered after the heated kissing had slowed down into little pecks. "I didn't mean to scare you but when I saw you pass, I just had to feel those luscious lips against mine before I go back down to the locker room."
"What are you doing up here anyway?" I asked as his hand wandered down my back before resting gently against my behind.
"I was meeting some scouts, I don't really want to talk about it right now," he responded as his lips found my neck, sucking and nibbling at my sweet spot. I exhaled breathlessly before trying another question.
"Are you nervous about the game and scouts?" I got out before my lips were covered with his and the hand that he was not using to hold me up found my ribs before inching up higher. I let him kiss me after that, grinding my body against his softly before breaking my mouth free to roam his neck.
"Stop distracting me," I pouted at him as he chuckled before leaning back to look at my face.
"No I am not nervous Miss. Swan, now may I kiss you again my beautiful angel?" he asked with a raised eyebrow. I rolled my eyes at his words before nodding my head. He smiled a crooked slant before recapturing my lips into a warm, unhurried embrace with his. "Hmm, now I can go win this football game," he commented confidently as I lay my head on his shoulder before exhaling against his neck and slowly kissing it.
"Yes you can," I smiled up at him before he unwilling placed me back down on the ground.
"Miss Swan, you look mighty fine tonight," he praised me verbally while his eyes drunk in my exposed midriff and cleavage.
"All for you," I turned around for him, making sure that he caught his name on my back. I felt hands grab my waist and laughed as I glanced up at Edward's hungry eyes.
"We need to get tested and soon," he palmed my right breast before turning my body around to face his again. "You're lucky this cup is in the way and that I have to be on the field in twenty minutes, Isabella" he surprisingly kissed me softy before pulling away again.
"I am, really?" I teased him raising an eyebrow before turning around to exit though the door he pulled me through. I felt a smack on my ass and shot Edward a dirty look as he smirked at my expression.
"I'll see you after the game," he whispered against my lips before pecking them one more time and holding open the door for me to exit.
"And where were you missy?" Rose asked with a smirk as I sat down next to her and Alice two rows up from the field.
"I was distracted by a certain quarterback," I answered her happily before taking the hot dog that she offered to me.
"Let me tell Edward that you got down and dirty with the Eagles hot shot," Rose teased as I grimaced in her direction.
"Ugh please, whoever the Eagles hot shot is does not hold a candle to Edward" I informed her as the Eagles team started to run out onto the field.
"Ladies and Gentlemen I would like to welcome you to the Fork High Wild Cats vs. the Catons High Eagles Seasonal Football game," the announcer called out causing the Forks High cheering section to yell out in excitement.
"Now here are the Forks High Starters, first please welcome Adam Kain as Cornerback…" I absentmindedly clapped for the team players before Alice's squeals filled my eardrums.
"Yeah, Baby" she called out as Jasper jogged calmly out onto the field before flashing her, his signature smile. Emmett was next, causing Rose to roll her eyes but cheer as he run out and belly bumped with Jasper before yelling out to the crowd and pumping us up even more than we already were.
"…and now," the announcer started as the crowd started to get even louder. "…is your Forks High Wild Cats Captain and Quarterback Edward Cullen," the crowd, the women young and old mainly, screamed out loud as Edward came running out onto the field with a determined look on his face. He smacked hands with Jasper and Emmett before glancing up at the crowds and catching my eye. He winked at me, smirking before turning back around to chant with the team. The noises from the stands were so loud that I could barely hear the team getting pumped up even though there were microphones on the field and players.
"Let's go Wildcats," Alice yelled out, pumping her foam finger in the air wildly. I yelled out with her and Rose throughout the game and by half time we were up seven points, with Edward running in the ball to score a touchdown himself once he could not find anyone open to throw to.
"I am so pumped!" Alice jumped up and down as the teams ran back into the home and guest locker rooms for half time. Half time at Fork High was an event that was not to be missed. The band was always on point and performed an amazing "Who did it" skit as they determined who killed the dummy that was lying on the left side of the field. I clapped along with the crowd before a tingly feeling of someone watching me caught my attention. I turned my head to see no one glancing my way before seeing the head of Jimmie walking out of the seating area of the stadium. He glanced back at me, catching my gaze before quickly turning away and leaving through the exit. I shook my head at his retreating form before pushing it to the back on my mind and letting the cheers of the crowd amp up my suddenly sunken mood. By the time the teams took the field again, I was pumped up and ready for the second half.
"Yeah Wildcats," Rose yelled out after Edward had completed a long pass to Jasper 47 yards down the field. The Score was 21 to 17, Wildcats up front with a minute and twenty seconds left in the fourth quarter on the play clock. The Wildcats were now on the Eagles 32 yard line, and Edward quickly fired off a pass to the rushing game to run down the time on the clock with four yards in gain. The Wildcats were now at the 28 yard line with one minute left on the clock. Edward threw a quick pass to Jasper who was taken down at the 21 yard line, a 1st down received. The ball was not snapped until there were seven seconds left on the time clock and Edward scrambled around to find an open guy before running up ahead a few inches and finding a completed pass in a guy name Toby at the 10 yard line.
There were forty five seconds left, and the crowd went crazy as the Wildcats lined up for another play. This time when Edward threw the ball, it was missed, giving him his sixth incomplete pass of the night. The play clocked stopped at twenty seconds and the Wildcats lined up on 2nd and 10, before Edward fired the ball at Jasper who finally ran the ball in for another touchdown. The crowd broke out in cheers as the Wildcat players congratulated each other before running off the field for the special teams to kick the one point that would give the Wildcats that definite W. The special teams waited until the last possible second before finally kicking the ball, sailing it through the yellow bars. It was good. The stadium was filled with cheers as Forks punted the ball away before taking the Eagles receiver down at their thirty yard line. The clock only had five seconds left on it and the defense quickly deflected the ball from an Eagle's receiver before jumping up and down wildly as the play clock hit zero.
"We won! We won!" Alice jumped up and down as the teams ran up to shake each other's hands. Edward shook hands with the Eagle's quarterback before Emmett picked him up and ran around the field. The crowd laughed at their crazy antics before heading towards the exit of the stadium as Alice, Rose, and I made our way closer towards the field. The cheerleaders were already around the players, Edward in particular, after Emmett allowed him the use of his legs again. Tanya flirted and ran her finger down his chest, but he quickly dodged her to run over to where we were seated in the stands with Jasper and Emmett following. He jumped up to lean over the railing and planted a huge kiss right on my surprised lips.
"Edward," I pushed him away before glancing at the shock cheerleader's faces, Tanya especially. Edward followed my eyesight before cursing softly.
"Baby, I'm sorry," he apologized, concern filling his eyes. "I'm just so hyped up right now that I needed to kiss my beautiful, gorgeous girlfriend" He layered it on thick as I rolled my eyes. What the hell, he was my boyfriend. I should be able to kiss my boyfriend in public. Damn his crazy cheerleader fan club. And with that, I pulled his lips back to mine, kissing him with all of the emotions that I was feeling. Take that Tanya. I smirked as I pulled away.
"I can say someone enjoyed that a lot and another not so much," Emmett grinned at us as he draped his arm around Rose and glanced in Tanya's direction. I folded my arms against my chest as Edward chuckled.
"I don't care he's my boyfriend, if I want to kiss him in public then I will,"
"Tell'em girl," Rose smiled as everyone else laughed at me. I shrugged indifferent before Coach Rogers called the boys back over to the team on the field.
"We'll see you ladies at the after party," Jasper smirked before we all exchanged our good bye partings. I walked out of the stadium with the girls as we made our way back to Rose's BMW.
"I'm ready to get wasted now," Rose announced to us as she pulled out of the parking lot of Forks High Stadium and headed back towards the Cullen household located near the large warehouse were the after party was being held. We could easily walk back to the house after the party started to thin out...as always in the protective arms of our big boys.
"I'm sure you are," Alice grimaced at her. "As long as you and Emmett end up in his room and not mine, I don't care," she informed Rose causing her to smirk. I laughed as we stopped at a red light.
"Come on light let's go," Alice yelled out in the car as Rose and I laughed at her craziness. If this is how we were like sober then we did not ever need to get drunk. Yeah, that's probably not going to happen. I turned my head around to spot bright lights coming way too fast up behind us.
"Rose," I called out, but it was too late. The car slammed into the back of our car causing it to drift out into the center of the intersection and oncoming traffic.
"Oh my gosh," I heard Alice yell as another bright light flashed throughout the BMW.
Alright so there you have it. Don't worry guys I won't do something too harsh. Leave me your feedback! I would really appreciate it :) I already have three pages for Chapter 12 typed up so hopefully it will be up in a week or so. REVIEW!
