Chapter 11
Bella's POV
Since my first date with Rosalie things have just been amazing. We've been going out on our dates every Wednesday and Saturday. We'd already been to a local splish-splash, a few well known museums in the area and my favorite was a nice picnic in Rosalie's clearing. It was so amazing and I just couldn't wait to go out with her tomorrow. We were going to go to the beach. At least that's what I had thought until I heard Alice interrupt my thoughts.
"Sorry kitten no beach this week. We're having a thunderstorm." She said as she danced into my room and dragged me down the stairs with her. She pulls me in front of a closet and tells me to pick out an outfit. Upon further inspection I see that the closet is filled with sports equipment. Baseball stuff to be exact.
"Uh Alice what do I have to pick out a baseball uniform for?" because honestly I think I'm lost. Why does she even have a closet full of baseball uniforms for?
"So you don't wear your normal clothes silly" she said with a giggle and that didn't answer a thing.
"Just get dressed you oversized lap cat" Kate said walking up to me with an orange baseball uniform on. "We're obviously going to play baseball so stop the hissy fit" she said and I had to stop myself from hissing at her pun. That would just give her even more material.
"Kate leave, Isabella alone" Irina said whacking her sister upside the back of her head and I must admit I'm extremely pleased. Turning my attention back to the two colors in the closet I choose the turquoise colored uniform.
"Awesome you're on my team Belly Bear" Emmet said behind me causing me to jump ten feet in the air. When did he get there?
"Totally going down pussy cat" Kate said before Tanya had enough of her jibes and dragged her away by her arm muttering something about annoying kid sisters, and teasing your cousins.
"Okay now I'm confused, what's going on?" I ask trying to ignore Emmet in his turquoise colored baseball uniform. Then again I guess bright orange on him would have been worse.
"We're playing baseball today, so let's go and get you dressed" Alice said interrupting Emmet who was about to say something. Grabbing my arm she dragged me towards the bathroom door and pushed me inside.
Well wasn't that very nice of her.
"But Alice why are we playing baseball today?" I asked still trying to unlock the door. Since when does this door lock from the outside?
"Because it's a thunderstorm today Bells, and as vampires we can only play baseball in the rain." she said and I think I understand now. Forks though known for all of its rain did not often get thunderstorms. Snow storms yes, hail absolutely, but not usually thunder. "Now stop and get dressed."
Huffing I pull my shirt over my head along with my jeans throwing them into the dirty clothes hamper.
"Honestly my sister in law is crazy." I can't help but grumble.
"Tell me about it" Rosalie says coming out of the shower with a towel wrapped around her waist and chest.
"Thank you for under-stand-ing" I say before something clicks. "ROSALIE!?" what was she doing in here.
"Hello little mate" she said walking up to my side to kiss me before I froze my mind jumping back to the incident that happened last night. Yeah so, naked Rose was so not good right now. Well no that's not true, a hot, naked Rose on any day is good but right now was not the best time.
"I-I-I'm sorry I should have knocked first" I say backing up while trying to cover as much of my body as possible. Really didn't help. I had decided to forgo a bra this morning because my boobs were sensitive, and my panties were white, almost clear. Oh no my nips are getting hard. Where's the door knob.
"Isabella stop" she said breaking through my panic causing me to stop instantly to follow my instincts. Her shoulders were squared and her eyes were black staring at the door behind me. "I understand that being seen naked without forewarning isn't your favorite pass time but if you step out that door with the way you're dressed now I'll have no choice but to dismember everybody outside of that door." She said and I gulped. She was serious.
"Who's out there?" because who was perverted enough to be outside at this moment.
"My sister, your sisters, the Denali sisters, and our moms" she said. At least they're all women. "Odds are Alice saw me in here and your reaction and they're here to get me" she explains. Why would Alice be here to pick her up?
"Why?"
"Because I won't be leaving this room without incentive. I won't do anything that makes you uncomfortable but I can't move" she explained.
"So why don't I just go?"
"No" she growled and I froze in my movements again. "Nobody's seeing you while I'm in this state. Alice get me out of here, no offense little mate but at the moment the only thing I want to do is rip that pair of panties to shreds" Alice then quickly came into the room though she didn't look at me once and she then escorted her to the door where everyone else was waiting. As the two passed through the door Alice made a sign for me to lock and close it after them, which I did right away before leaning back against the door.
"You should get dressed right away Bella" my mother called in before I could hear the sounds of retreating feet.
"Right dressed" I should do that fast. Slipping on the long sleeved black undershirt I put on my turquoise baseball jersey with the number 31 before slipping on my turquoise socks and black pants. I tie my hair up into a pony tail and make my way out.
"It's about time you got dressed" Sandra or Alexa (Xanders' twin) said. "All of the vamps left already" she said.
"What about – " I start before my father cuts me off.
"Rosalie went too" he explained.
"We felt it'd be best that she leave first to cool down. We don't want her jumping you in public after all" Xander said. "You know you made a right mess last night" he said and I blushed. I have no clue why I did what I did last night but because of that Rosalie seemed to be having control issues. I apologized but I don't think that changes a thing.
"Leave you sister alone and let's go" my father said, it pays off to be daddy's littlest angel.
Walking out the door I decide to ride with professional dirt bike to the clearing. I didn't feel like being teased by my extremely immature siblings, but it was just as embarrassing to ride with my parents. I hoped Rosalie would be okay with my decision. I remember one night about four weeks ago I went on a ride on my bike, I call her baby. I didn't really tell anyone that I was leaving, and Rosalie was out on a hunt. While riding up the mountains I ran across a mother cougar and her three cubs running across the road and had to emergency break. Meaning I cut all gas immediately and skidded to a halt. The noise scared the kits into the forest on the other side while their mother glared at me for scaring her kits. I apologized as best I could in human form and then road away.
Unfortunately on my return home Rosalie was back and was not only furious but scared beyond belief. Apparently Alice had had a vision of what had happened where I didn't see the lions in time to stop and instead I jumped off the bike and fell off the cliff. That night Rosalie didn't let me out of her sight and forbid me from riding my bike ever again. That earned her the silent treatment for three days before she gave in and said that as long as someone accompanied me it was fine.
Well my family is right behind me in their cars so I wasn't alone, even if I was about a mile in front of them. Right? Oh well I'll find out when we get there. I must have ridden for at least another mile and a half before I came to the clearing that we'd be playing baseball in. They'd already drawn the diamond and everything.
"It's about time you got her Bella, we were wondering if you'd chickened out" Emmet said with his usual pleased with himself grin.
"As if I have to let everybody know that I'm a better hitter, catcher, and pitcher than you" I say back as we start picking at each other. Did I forget to mention that Emmet was the boy version of Kate.
"Did you ride your bike here?" Rosalie asked already knowing I did.
"My folks and siblings were with me" I say hoping that will appease her. I almost get away with it until Harry decides to be a wise ass.
"Yeah like a mile away from you the whole time" he says as I hear the car doors slam. Shit did they just get here? I glare at him before turning back to Rosalie and gulp. So it looks like I am in trouble after all.
"Punishment later game now" Alice shouted stomping her foot. She was really excited.
"Okay let's get this started" Carlisle said moving to the center of the mound with a silver coin in his hand.
"Heads" Emmet shouted.
"Tails" Kate shouted.
Carlisle flipped the coin into the air a couple feet that I lost it but as it came down so did the rest of the vampires faces. Carlisle caught it and flipped it over. It was heads.
"Yes! And what Kate! Booyah!" Emmet shouted childishly and it looked to me that Kate was trying to decide if it was a good idea or not to castrate him.
"Emmet shut up and call your players to bat" Rosalie said.
"Alright so order goes Carlisle, Jasper, Sam, Alexa, Elezar, Irina, Kathy, Bella, and then me" Emmet called out. Why did I have to bat second to last? "People on base are as follows. Elezar take first, Bella take second, and Jasper you're on third. The rest of you stand where you like but not in the path of the runner."
"Batters are as follows guys. Tanya your first, Mitch is second, Harry; third, Carmen; fourth, Sky; fifth, Alice; sixth, Xander; seventh, Rosalie you go eight, and then I go ninth. Base players are Rose on first, Tanya on second, Mitch takes third" Kate said. "Let's go people!" she screams and everyone takes their positions.
"Hey uhm what about you Esme" I ask as we run past her. I didn't hear her name called at all.
"Oh I play referee to make sure the kids don't cheat." She explained and I had to agree. With Alice being able to see the future and the still missing Edward able to read minds it was a problem. Add on to that that Jasper could read emotions and so deception with plays and stuff we really did need a referee.
"Alright let's go Carlisle you're up first" Emmet said and Carlisle went up to bat. Kate stood on the pitcher's mound and chucked the ball so fast that I could barely see it. Carlisle swung his bat so fast and when the bat and ball connected I understood why they could only play during thunder storms.
'Crack' the ball went flying and Alice went off after it while Carlisle went towards first base. He almost made it to second base when I heard the ball come whizzing back into Tanya's mitt and watched as she tagged him out.
The rest of our batting period went like this. Jasper made it to second base on his second ball, while Sam and Alexa helped him get home scoring one base each. Elezar got out while Irina made it all the way to third. When mommy got on base she ran the wrong way which was considered an out so I didn't get a chance to bat. Emmet shared my feelings.
The other team was just about ready to bat when the vampires of our groups all stiffened. I saw everyone meet up with their mates and Rosalie flashed in front of me so fast that I jumped back in shock.
"What's wrong?" was something coming.
"Someone's coming. A vampire" Elezar said from in front of Carmen.
"Are they a threat?" I asked and Rosalie hissed stepping back into me so that my body was completely hidden by her.
"I don't know" Alice said. "I can't tell"
"We should leave" Esme suggested.
"Too late." Jasper said ominously. "They're here" he said before a vampire broke through the clearing with a woman hidden behind her. She had red hair and slightly pale-ish tan skin. She paused before she got too close to us and looked at Carlisle the head of our coven who marked our territory.
"I'm sorry for intruding on your families land, my mate and I were just passing through" she said with a slight bow of her head.
"It's fine, may I ask your name?" Carlisle asked.
"I'm Victoria, and this is my mate B" she starts before a breeze blows through the field carrying with it one unfamiliar scent and one extremely familiar scent.
"Bree" I said coming out from behind Rosalie. I heard a sharp intake of breath before I saw her come out from behind Victoria.
"Bella" she said with a smile.
"Bree" I said excited. My best friend was here. I made to move towards her when Rosalie grabbed my arm and growled in their direction. Bree's black tipped bobcat ears twitching at the noise while her mate Victoria scoffs. "Rose?" I asked. Why's she so tense.
"It's okay Bella's don't worry" Bree called out. "You're unmarked, and in her mind Victoria is the male. She won't let you near her" she explained. Huh that made sense.
"Come on Rose" I said as I took her hand in mine and led her over to my friend and her mate. She should be okay with this as long as she was with me. After approaching them I pulled Bree into a hug and was surprised when neither Victoria or Rosalie growled at the contact.
"Victoria this is my best friend Isabella" she said. "Bella this is my mate Victoria" she said.
"Rosalie this is my best friend Bree" I said. "Bree this is my mate Rosalie" I said with a smile.
"Bree what are you doing here?" my mother asked walking up.
"Well I was actually looking for you Kathy. I came back home and they said you guys left so we went looking for you" Bree explained
"Please come home with us" Esme said calmly. Bree looked to Victoria who gave a slight nod in agreement.
I couldn't help my yip of excitement and grabbed Bree's arm dragging her behind me towards my motorcycle to ride back home. I heard Victoria and Rosalie huff at being ignored but ignored them. They had us to themselves for a while. I needed some best friend time.
