A/N: Don't own Twilight at all, but you know what? MY FRIEND IS HOLDING IT HOSTAGE! MY COPY! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
Chapter 11: Melodies and such
Bella POV
When we got back to the house, Edward groaned in annoyance.
"What?" I asked innocently.
"They're ready to bombard us and congratulate us. ALICE NO WAY ARE WE DOING THAT!" he yelled. I cringed. I didn't like angry Edward.
"What did she want to do?" I asked
"She wanted to kidnap you and dress you up for the date I want to ask you out on." He said. If he could have blushed, he would have been bright red.
"No problem there, as long as it's after we hang around awhile." I said smiling. He just sighed and led me out of the car back to the house. No sooner had we got to the last doorstep (I tripped on the stairs. Shocker.) The rest of the family came out, hugging us and congratulating us. It was interesting all of them talking at once.
"OHMYGODIKNEWTHISWOULDHAPPENYESYESYES!!!!"(A/N: in case you can't read this, it says "Oh my god I knew this would happen yes yes yes!!!) I recognized as Alice's perkiness.
"HAHAHAHA EDDIE"S A MAN NOW!" Emmett obviously, from what Edward told me.
"I'm so happy for you dear." Esme told me calmly.
"I'm happy for you son." Carlisle told Edward. Rose smiled, but then it turned cold. Edward growled. Weird…………… Jasper calmed everyone down from the happy atmosphere. Rose left the room and I frowned.
"Alright everyone, Bella and I want to talk, so can you please leave us be?" Edward asked laughingly. Everyone smiled at that.
"Okay okay children let's go." Esme said smiling at me. I smiled back. Once they were out of the room Edward asked
"Bella what would you like to do?" I thought for a moment.
"Play me something on the piano." I suggested. He led me to his black glossy piano and sat us down on the bench. He sighed, and let his fingers move freely. I was shocked at what I heard. It was a lullaby so sweet and beautiful. I got lost in the perfect harmony complimenting the melody playing softly and surely. I started crying tears of happiness. He looked up from his reverie and smiled at me. He finished the last chords of the song, and pulled me into a hug.
"That was…. No words can adequately describe how I feel." I told him. He wiped away my tears, and looked at the tiny droplet on his finger, then licked it. I didn't say anything. I didn't want to make him feel uncomfortable.
"It wasn't as indescribable as the person who inspired it." He told me sweetly.
"Rose?" I guessed. His smile tightened, but he began laughing.
"No silly you. I wrote it for you." I gasped. He had written me a lullaby? That's so sweet. I leaned in to kiss him, when my phone vibrated. I sighed, and went to answer the new text. It was from Mary. Just because we can't see each other again, doesn't mean she can't keep in touch. I laughed at what I read.
"What's so funny?" Edward asked, dejected I answered a text instead of kissing him back.
"Mary dyed her hair black. She looks hot to all the guys back home. She sent me a picture." I said laughing. It was of her with midnight black hair and her violet eyes even brighter since she had gotten contacts. She was so happy. I texted back. I didn't tell her Edward and I were together, all she knew was I was staying with a nice family, and wouldn't be returning to Cedar Mills. I told her not to text me back cause I was running low on minutes (Which is true. I need to go buy another card.)
"Now where were we?" Edward asked velvety soft in his sexy voice. He leaned in again, and our lips met. I stayed perfectly still, letting him control this, earning me some major points. When he pulled away I was giggling like a crazy lovesick school girl, which was very close to the truth. He smiled.
"You're very giddy. I like it, but you must get ready for our dinner tonight." He said. I groaned. Lord knows what Alice will do to me. He led me upstairs to her room, where she was waiting with a curling iron.
"YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS MAKEOVER TIME!" she yelled pulling me to my doom.
Rose's POV
ARGH I'm so mad right now. I liked Bella, but now she sickens me. I'm happy Edward found someone, but her? She is human. The way she looks into his eyes, she only shows complete love and adoration. She loves him. Too much. Soon she'll want to become a vampire, and give up her humanity. If she has to choose she should chose humanity. Not that I don't want my brother to be happy, I just want Bella to stay human. It's repulsive to want to become a blood-sucking monster. I hate it, and she should too.
Alice POV
I was so excited to get my hands on Bella. She was pretty, and this would be cake. I made her take a shower, and put on a robe, with just a blue underwear and bra matching set underneath. She came out hair wet, and a look of unhappiness on her face.
"Please Bella Please let me do this. I don't remember being human." I pouted. Her will crumbled when I unleashed that look.
"Okay Alice, just nothing to over the top" she told me. Ha yeah right. All I have is designer clothes and makeup. I sighed, and went to work on blow drying her hair. She sighed.
"What's wrong Bella?" I asked being the loving caring sister I am.
"I don't know Alice. I just……… I feel like I'm all wrong for Edward. Yeah I mean like we are a perfect match, but he's a vampire, I'm a human, and he isn't willing to change that anytime soon, although he isn't the reason I want to become a vampire. I want to stay with your family." She told me ashamed. So that's what's wrong. She should really hear Edward. All he cares about is her humanity.
"It'll work out Bella; I'll make sure of it." I told her confidently. "Now hold still." I said starting to curl her hair. When I was done with that, I went on to makeup, then gave her a blue dress and ballet flats to wear. She glared when I tried to give her pumps.
"Bella you look amazing!" I exclaimed happily. She was shocked at what she saw, that was evident on her face. She blushed.
"Let's go Alice." She whined. "I want to see Edward." God she's so attached. I led her down stairs to her waiting date.
Bella POV
Edward couldn't keep
his eyes off me the whole drive. He just kept staring at me, and made
me self-conscious. We were headed to a little restaurant in some town
called Port Angeles. He had heard about it at school from some
annoying people's thoughts. He got out and opened my door.
"Thank you, you charming gentleman." I said curtsying.
"You're very welcome my lady." He said waggling his eyebrows. We laughed and headed inside. It was a cute Italian restaurant, not overly crowded. He led me to a booth, and we sat down across from each other.
"I took the liberty of ordering for you." He said. Right on cue a 20 year old waitress with fake blond hair and blue eyes came up holding a plate of mushroom ravioli, breadsticks, and a coke. I smiled.
"You remembered." I said thrilled.
"I never forget." He told me patiently. "GO ahead eat. He added. I tried the food and it was delicious.
"Whose thoughts did you hear of this restaurant from?" I asked curiously.
"Well, I heard it from some girl—''
"EDDIE!" a preppy voice yelled. I turned and saw a girl with black puffy hair, as tall as Alice, with a blond boy. They were about our age.
"Hello Jessica." He said as politely as he could, which wasn't very fun.
"Oh Eddie how nice to see you- oh whose that?" she said pointing at me. The boy she brought started drooling.
"Jessica DO NOT call me Eddie, and this is my girlfriend, Bella Swan. She is staying with us because her family died." He said.
"Ewwwww you could do so much better. She said.
"I think she's hot." The boy said,
"MIKE YOU"RE HERE WITH ME!" she yelled. The whole restaurant looked at us.
"Let's all sit together" Jessica said, and went too sat by Edward. He got up.
"I'd rather sit by my girlfriend." He said, sitting by me smiling forcibly.
"Never mind then." Jessica said walking away. Mike stood at the booth still, watching me with crazy puppy-dog eyes.
"MIKE!" She yelled, and he ran. Edward and I laughed.
"Sorry about that. She's a stalker." He said
"Well Mike seems stalker-ish." I said. He laughed.
"Let's go Bella you look tired." He said. I didn't object. I was too tired to object. He led me to the car and drove home. Fast. When we got through the door, he led me to my room, which I hadn't seen yet. I opened the door, and fell in love with my room instantly. It was a dark navy, matching the stars and moons comforter. I had a huge closet, which was no doubt filled with clothes. I went to the bookshelf, and saw all the classics I loved on there, and my picture of my family. I smiled.
"This room is amazing!" I said. He smiled.
"Glad you like it. Esme and Alice worked hard on it. Rose arranged everything." He said. I went into the walk in closet to change into some sleep pants and a tank top, and came out to see Edward.
"Will you stay?" I asked him.
"I was hoping you'd ask." He said, moving over slightly so we could lay on the queen bed. I snuggled in his stone cold embrace. He hummed my lullaby, and I fell asleep quickly in his chest, knowing he would be there tomorrow. "I Love you." I mumbled, and that was the last thing I remember.
Edward POV
I was worried about
laying in bad with her, because of my cold skin, but Bella liked it.
She Bella mumbled all sorts of things, like how good I smell, but the
best parts were the fact there were no nightmares, and she said she
loved me like a dozen times. I couldn't wait until morning to see
her beautiful eyes, and her sweet smile.
A/N: I like this chapter. Really. I had to add Mike and Jess in there. Ha-ha. I like to thank my reviewers. You guys rock! Yeah! So keep REVIWING! PEACE!
