CHAPTER 10

Bella P.O.V.

We were all waiting for Jacob's excuse now, Edward glaring.

"Why were you hugging my girlfriend, Jacob?" he snarled, repeating the question.

Jacob started fidgeting with his shirt, his cheeks flushed as he kept glancing at Tanya.

"Did the cat eat your tongue?" Edward sneered, his arm wrapping around my waist.

I leaned into his touch, as Jacob finally answered.

"Well," he began nervously, "you see what happened was . . . I spilled water on Bella's shirt and . . . since the napkin didn't clean it, I thought maybe . . . uh, body heat would?" He said it more like a question than a statement and I would have burst out laughing, had I not then had the shock of my life.

Several things happened at once.

Tanya hissed in anger, her face twitching.

Edward's arm dropped from my waist, and he took a step forwards toward Jacob, his hands fisted.

And then . . .

Alice strode straight up to Black, fisted his shirt in one hand and let her other hand pull back – only to swing forward and punch him square in the nose.

The cafeteria burst out laughing, and I was dragged out by Rosalie and Alice (who had then turned on her heel and come back to link arms with me), while Edward was by Emmett and Jasper.

The first thing that came to my mind was how we were in the parking lot now. I was still otherwise too shocked to speak or think.

"What the hell just happened?" Emmett exclaimed, sounding both confused and excited.

"Hey! I wanted to punch him!" Rosalie pouted.

"Alice, why the fuck did you punch him? That's my job!" Edward was mad.

"Everyone – let's just calm down, okay?" Jasper was the voice of reason as always.

It was quiet for a second, and then everyone burst out talking at the same time.

Everything that had just happened was getting to my head. I snapped out of my state of shock – as everything cleared – and took a deep breath. At this rate, I'm going to have a strong headache. "HEY! If y'all don't shut the fuck up, I'm going to be the one punching somebody!" I yelled, trying my best to look angry.

Everyone turned to me in shock, like they just remembered I was there. It was just a minute of us all staring at each other . . . then we started laughing.

"Wow! Y'all see Jacob's face?" Emmett asked, sniggering.

"Yeah man! Priceless!" Jasper added.

Alice was laughing. "I didn't even punch him that hard!"

"I wanted a share too, Ali," Rosalie threw in, still trying to pout.

"I would have preferred just me to do it," Edward said, glaring at Alice, who just smiled and rolled her eyes.

"Well . . . Considering that we're in big enough trouble as it is, and I haven't eaten all day . . . why don't we just skip the rest of the day?" I asked casually.

Everyone gasped dramatically.

"What?" Jasper exclaimed, tapping his ears. "Did I just hear that Bella Swan wants to skip?"

"Miss Goody, what?" Rosalie asked, looking surprised.

"Yeah! My sister's finally joined the dark side!" Emmett whooped. "I like it!" He ran over to pick me up and give me a suffocating hug.

"Em – let go – of me," I said, between gasps for air.

"Oh, sorry." He set me down on the ground, smiling apologetically.

"Okay! Where do you want to go?" Alice asked.

"Somewhere to eat!" Both I and Emmett said.

"Wait are we waiting for then? Let's go find something to sink our teeth into!" [Ironic much?] Alice said, climbing into Jasper's car.

Rosalie and Emmett went over to Em's Hummer, and Edward switched his Volvoon, holding the door open for me.

I was about to get in, but he stopped me by wrapping his arms around my waist and pulling me back slightly. "I don't know what you did to my girlfriend," he whispered in my ear, "but I love it." His breath tickled my neck, and I giggled, blushing.

When I was finally in through the door again, he ran over to his side. Minutes later, we were reversing out the school parking lot and heading towards the small local luncheon.

Ten minutes of driving and talking later, we arrived at 'Forks Luncheonette.' The guys parked their cars together, and we all got off, Alice practically bouncing with excitement.

We entered chatting – the girls together and guys together – and quickly found a big table in the corner. The place wasn't very full with only a little amount of customers dotted here and there.

The waitress came over to us immediately, smiling wide. "Hello kids, I'm Brandy. What will your orders be today?"

"I'll get a veggie burger with everything, and lemonade, please," I was the first to say.

"I'll go for the chicken salad and coke," Alice went next, smiling at the waitress.

"The carrot soup and water, please," Rosalie ordered politely.

"Two hot-dogs, please, and chicken salad, with coke," Jasper said.

"I'll grab a cheese burger with everything, and coke too," Edward said, looking over to Emmett.

We all knew what was coming, waiting with grins, but the poor lady didn't . . . Emmett cleared his throat. "Okay, I'll have a cheese burger with fries, a chicken salad, two hot-dogs, a cup of soup and . . . a coke." He grinned up at her.

She just stared back, wide eyed. "For you?" she asked, shocked.

"Uh huh." He nodded.

She said she'd be back and hurried to the kitchen, almost running.

In fifteen minutes, we were served and enjoying our food. Of course, as well as laughing and commenting on Emmett's disgusting eating habits: he was stuffing all kinds of food in his mouth at once. Eww, right?

"Wow, I'm full . . ." When we'd all finished, he leaned back and patted his stomach. "So what's next, oh evil Bella?" he asked me.

"Well . . ." I thought through my options. "Can we go to Port Angeles?"

"HA! Shopping!" Alice and Rose squealed in unison.

All the guys – and me – groaned.

"Aw, c'mon Bella!" Alice insisted. "It'll be fun. Pleeease." She pouted, and I felt like growling. How was I supposed to say no to that?

"Fine, shopping it is," I agreed disgruntledly.

She and Rosalie cheered.

We paid the bill. Or, well, the guys paid the bill, and then left the small place.

"Okay, we'll just follow each other, right!" Alice yelled. "See y'all in a few!"

As soon as we had all got back in our cars, we left towards the mall in Port Angeles. For the first five minutes, it was quiet in our car and Edward looked deep in thought. One hand was in mine, the other on the wheel, and I could tell something was up.

"Edward, what's wrong?" I asked him. "Is it about what happened in school?"

He let go of my hand for a moment, running his fingers through his soft hair – it was a nervous habit, I think. "Bella. It's just – I didn't like seeing you in the arms of another guy." He had taken my hand again, holding it tightly.

"Edward Anthony Cullen." My firm tone made him turn to me in surprise. "You listen to me now, okay? You – are – the – one – I – love. I don't understand why Jacob hugged me, and frankly, I don't care. But, I suppose, if you don't trust me, then . . ." I trailed off, crossing my arms across my chest. How could he think things like that?

"Love, of course I trust you – I love you, after all." Edward was as sincere as always. "It's just him I don't trust and when I saw him so close to you . . . I . . . I'm sorry, I just – I don't want to lose you." He ended in a whisper, lifting our hands and kissing mine, before he turned to face the road again.

"Edward, I love you and trust me, I would never do anything like that." I assured him. "Okay?"

He nodded, smiling slightly.

The drive wasn't really that long – we were at Port Angeles in just forty-five minutes – considering the speed at which these three maniacs drove. We arrives at the mall and Rose and Alice wasted no time in almost yanking me out of the car itself and pulling me towards JCPenny while the guys had no choice but to follow behind.

We tried clothes after clothes, buying some, dumping back the rest. Eventually, satisfied, Rose and Alice moved onto The Body Shop, Shoe Dept., Victoria Secret, Wet Seal, Rave, and yet more stores.

We ended up buying tonnes of clothes, lingerie, shoes and jewellery. The guys were carrying our bags towards their cars, with unhappy looks on their faces.

"Are we leaving yet?" Emmett whined at one point.

"Nope. Not yet," Alice told him.

We all groaned, but Rosalie didn't do anything.

"Actually, Alice," she said, "it is time for us to go – I mean, we have something to tell y'all, remember?" She was fidgeting with her hands, and I saw Emmett clear his throat pointedly. He walked over to his Hummer, loading her bags. "Rose, c'mon, babe!" he yelled, and she did.

They left us standing without another word.

"Okay, is it just me, or are they acting really strangely?" Jasper asked immediately.

"They've been like this since the morning," Alice explained distractedly. "Rose told me they had something important to tell us."

"Yeah. Em mentioned something too – we thought he was joking," Edward admitted.

"Well they're not, so let's go!" I exclaimed, wanting to smack myself for my stupidity.

Jasper and Edward put the bags in their cars, and five minutes later, we were on our way back to Forks. This time, the ride was much more comfortable – Edward and I talked about pretty much everything – and we arrived soon at my house.

Both guys parked alongside one another, and Alice came up behind me as I got out of the car.

"Nobody's here yet – not even Em and Rose," she commented, while I was unlocking the door.

Edward was getting my shopping bags, and Jasper was helping him with mine considering Alice's would be going to her house. I felt a bit guilty, but then he caught my eye and smiled, and I sort of just forgot. "Could you please put them in my room?" I asked when they looked at me expectantly.

By the time we were all settled on the couch, waiting for everyone, it was five forty-five.

"What y'all think they want to talk to us about?" Jasper asked.

We shrugged in reply to his question. Feeling bored, I picked up the remote and flipped to some random channel, which we all half-watched in silence, everyone too engrossed in their own thoughts to really pay it any attention.

"Hey kids!" My dad came into the living room, taking off his gun and hanging it up.

"Hi Charlie."

"Hey dad."

"Do any of you guys know why Emmett and Rosalie wanted me here?" he asked, scratching his head.

"No idea, Charlie, we're all asking ourselves the same question," Alice answered.

"Okay. Do any of you mind if I join in the wait with y'all?" Charlie asked, making to sit down on his recliner.

"Of course not, sir," Jasper said, smiling.

Charlie had just sat down, when the doorbell rang. "I'll get it." He pulled himself up to his feet again, and opened the door.

"Charlie, how are you?" David – Rose and Jasper's dad – greeted warmly.

"Great, Dave. Oh, hello Lillian." Charlie let them in. "Please, come in."

"Thanks. I'm just worried about what our children are going to say tonight," Lillian said.

They came into the living room – David: tall at six foot three, blue eyed, with a business suit, and Lilian: looking just like Rose with her blonde hair and blue eyes, dressed in in a black pencil skirt and blue top. She smiled, as they sat down. "Hey, kids, how are y'all?"

"Good." We said in unison.

The only people missing now were Emmett and Rosalie. What could they possibly want to tell us?

Edward P.O.V.

Today had been one hectic day. Right now, I was sitting in my girlfriend's house with my friends and family, waiting for the retard of Emmett, and Rosalie, to come in and say want they wanted to . . . Have to admit, I was pretty curious though.

Alice P.O.V.

They finally arrived, and I wondered what they were going to announce . . . Of course, deep down I had a feeling I knew exactly what it was – but I didn't want to start the planning before I was a hundred percent sure.

Jasper P.O.V.

I'd always been what my parents call "sensitive" to others' feelings, and right now I could almost sense the excitement, curiosity, and nerves emanating from my family and friends. Myself: I was curious as to what Rose and Em were going to say.

Bella P.O.V.

Here I was, looking at all my friends and family – waiting for Rose and Em to finally talk. To say I was nervous, would be an understatement.

More than that, I was impatient. Why were they keeping us in the suspense even with the parents here?

"So, um . . . we obviously have something very important to say," Emmett began, managing to annoy us all. And? I was tempted to ask. He cleared his throat. "I thought about it a lot before I asked Rose, and then she accepted – what I asked from her." And now he was making so sense at all.

Apparently, I wasn't the only one wondering what he was trying to get at; Rosalie rolled her eyes at him and took over. "Okay, look. Emmett and I love each other. Yes, we're still pretty young, but we . . ." Then she hesitated herself, her voice growing quieter, "we are going to get –" I didn't understand the rushed out word at first, but then it hit me, and I found myself in shock.

I did not just hear what I think I heard. The room was silent for a second, and then everyone went wild.

"What?"

"Why?"

"When did this happen?"

"Look, shut up! Emmett and I are getting married as soon as we graduate! He proposed to me on Saturday," Rosalie said, holding up her left hand, on it a silver ring in the shape of a rose, embedded with beautiful little diamonds, "and I said yes."

"I love Rose, Mr. and Mrs. Hale," Emmett said, sincere and serious for once. "And when we go the college, I want us to go as husband and wife."

Everyone stared at them. Then Lillian spoke.

"So you're not pregn–?"

Rosalie didn't even let her finish her sentence. "Shit, mom! Can't an eighteen year old girl announce she's getting married without everyone jumping to conclusions anymore?" She stood up, looking upset.

"Sorry, hon." Lillian seemed relieved, despite it all. "I'm sorry . . . Emmett McCarty Swan." She faced him, with an intimidating expression. "You better take good care of my Rose." Then she hugged them both with a little squeal.

"Emmett, you make my princess suffer even a bit, and I'll make sure you don't see the light again," David said seriously, before embracing them.

Emmett gulped at the threat, but then grinned.

"So it's official then?" Alice asked.

They nodded, and we both squealed. "OMG!" Alice exclaimed. "We have so much to do! Planning and shopping!"

I hugged Rosalie after Alice did the same, and we all had a girly moment.
Jasper was next. "Em, bro," he started seriously, then smiled, "welcome to the family!" He laughed. "I think you must be the only one who can handle her, really, and she you – so you guys better take care of each other." Jasper and Emmett had a manly hug.
The rest of the evening was spent chatting away. In the end, the wedding was scheduled for March the 21st, giving us four months to plan. They planned it in the Spring Week Vacation so they could leave to Paris for their honeymoon.

Everyone started leaving, and by ten, it was just Edward and me in the living room.

"I'll see you tomorrow, love," he whispered in my ear.

I gave him a goodbye hug. "I'll miss you," I sighed, leaning on his chest.

"Same here." He gave me a kiss, and I returned it with much enthusiasm.

Soon, his tongue was running across my bottom lip, asking for permission.

Just as I was opening my mouth, somebody fake coughed. I turned to see my dad and wanted to groan. What is it with people interrupting us everytime we kiss?

"Edward, remember to say hi to Carlisle and Esme from my, please," he said, as a firm way of farewell.

Edward nodded, kissed my forehead, and then left.

As soon as the front door shut, my dad asked: "So you and Edward, eh?"

I blushed. "Dad," I whined.

"Bella, I'm your father," he reminded me, raising his eyebrows.

"I know, I know." I felt myself smile. "He's my boyfriend, dad." Then I escaped to my room before he could grill me any further.

"Boyfriend? . . ." I heard him repeat, as I closed the door to my room.

I took a long shower, and as soon as my head hit the pillow, I was asleep.

*** Next day ***

I woke up early – six forty-five – and discovered that it was pretty warm for Forks today. Getting out of bed, I decided to put on some black shorts and a printed silver cheetah blouse – with sandals.

Because I had nothing better to do really, I straightened my hair myself and even did my make-up. Alice would be so proud of me. I turned around as it hit me. Where is she?

Emmett was sitting at the dining table, with a pop tart when I reached him. "W'sup li'l, sis?" he asked, through a mouth full of food.

"Look up," I said sarcastically, "and you'll find out."

My phone vibrated with a text from Edward. I checked it immediately.

Hey love, drive yourself to school. Cya there – E.

I was instantly confused. "Ready, Em?" I asked distractedly, wondering what was going on.

"Sorry sis gotta go and pick up Rose," he answered. "Can you go yourself?"

I nodded, and he left.

Getting into the car was weird for me after a while of not driving it. I drove slowly, immersed in thought. Alice didn't come . . . Edward didn't pick me up . . . Somehow, those two facts felt connected.

Reaching the school, I could see Rosalie, Jasper and Emmett – but no Alice or Edward.

I joined them, and after the usual greetings, we lapsed into silence: waiting for the rest of our friends. The warning bell rang, yet none of us made to move, but when the tardy bell rang in five minutes, it really was time to go.

We were just about to give up, moving, when the silver Volvo appeared in the parking lot. They were here – and they were going to give me an explanation.

None of them seemed to be getting out the car, and I fumed quietly. Something is up – but what?
