Revenge is Sweet
My stomach rumbled as I moved moved in my bed, but I wasn't able to move that far. Someone was laid out next to me. I moved over and gazed at the beauty next to me. She put me to shame every time, even this early in the morning--- whatever time it was.
"How are you feeling this afternoon?"
"Afternoon?" My eyes widened and mouth fell open, "...shit. Better, thanks."
"Just gone 12, Bella. I think you've been asleep for like 11 hours." She raised her eyes, as she worked it out.
"Seriously?"
"Mmm hm," She looked at her perfectly manicured hands. God ,sometimes she makes me throw up, she has everything, that I don't.
"How come your sat on my bed?" I questioned, if she says I'll come and see you tomorrow it usually means at night. So, what was with the urgency?
"I wanted to check that you, had actually got home last night and ended up in your own bed." She said it, as if I usually become violently ill, just to go and sleep in my saviour bed.
"Well, here I am. In my own bed, in clothes from last night. I haven't got a clue, how I got here... well I don't think I do. Is this enough evidence for you anyway?" I rolled over on to my back, and sat against the hard wood headboard.
"For me yes, but what do think Alice thought, when she found Edward Cullen asleep on your couch, this morning?" She sat up crossing her legs in a meditation style and smiled at me.
"What, I swear the last thing I remember was throwing up on the side of the road and then getting back into the car." My stomach rumbled again, signalling me to get a move on and go eat something. "She's already picking out my wedding dress, isn't she?"
I stretched down to the foot of the bed, and then rolled off my side, stretching once again. I turned back round to see Rosalie watching my every movement.
"What now, rosalie? I swear you and Alice have some vendetta against me, every time I look round one of you is watching me."
"We are in need of another pamper night, although I think this one should involve the guys as well. My plans for last night didn't go to well, so we still need to punish Emmett and he has some serious chest hair, which would be fun to wax. I won't start going on about his legs, they are like a jungle."
"Whatever, let me eat first and you can break the news to everyone and I'm in." I walked towards my bathroom, and then turned back round, "Should I have a shower now, or will that be part of the pampering tonight?"
"Now please, you smell like a sweaty sock. I'll start with my toe nails, where are you keeping the nail polish remover these days?"
I pulled the shirt over my head, while I thought about it, "There should be some in the other bathroom, Alice had a endless supply last time I was in."
While she went to find some nail polish remover I striped off and climbed into bath tub, pulling the curtain after me. When I stepped it something instantly hit me, it was different. It smelt clean, don't get me wrong, my shower was always clean but this smell, smelt like guy. Nothing, like Jacob used to smell with his cheap lynx or knock off brand Jean-Paul Gautier. This was the real McCoy, actual real JPG, which was to die for in real life.
I started the shower, and opened the cap of my own shampoo hoping that it would dilute the strong smell, so I didn't collapse. I heard Rosalie come back, putting down the toilet lid, sitting down and lining up various nail files, removers and polishes.
"Phwoar, has some male aftershave ad, taken place in here or has a certain Edward Cullen been in here recently, you can smell him I mile off." I could just imagine, rose wrinkling her nose.
"Edward had a shower in here last night." I replied loudly over the shower, pouring some shampoo into my hand.
"Alone?" I stopped with the shampoo and hovered a little.
"Well, he was alone when he went it." I replied before massaging the shampoo into my hair. Did she really expect me to jump in the shower with a really cute guy, on the day he moves into the room below me.
"What you didn't conveniently leave your mascara in here?" Only something Rose or Alice would do.
"No, you know I wouldn't do that. I didn't plan for Alice to hog the bathroom, and Edward have to come up here while I was drying my hair." As soon as the last part came out, I wished that I could gobble it back up.
"ohmygod, do you still dry your hair the same way?"
"yep,"
"Genius, and its all because of me. Wow, what was his face like?"
"I never really saw."
I started to rinse my hair, I wasn't in the mood for a long shower.
"Rose?" A male voice called from my room.
"We are in here," she called out to whoever was outside.
"ROSE, what the FUCK! I'm in the shower?" I stuck my head around the corner of the curtain, when the door opened. Thankfully, it was only Emmett. Well, only I had, had is fair share of me but it could have been worse. It was only Emmett, I could see in the doorway, he filled it. He wasn't fat or anything, just rather muscular, the perfect bouncer.
I went back the the shower and finished rinsing off.
"Geez, Bella I have my eyes closed. We just want to know, what to do for dinner?"
"Towel?" I stuck my hand out of the side of the curtain, hoping someone would pass me a towel, instead of making me jump out of the shower baring all.
"What you want a towel for dinner, eh. You confuse me Bella sometimes." I think Emmett had moved in front of the shower curtain now, but had his back to the curtain, that's what the silhouette looked like anyway.
"No, you spud she wants a towel, pass her that one there." Rose was obviously too busy to pass me one her self, Emmett's hand handed me a towel, while I switched off the shower and then wrapped it around me.
"Cover your eyes, Emmett or leave," I wasn't waiting around, for him to decide what his answer was, it was already too cold.
I flung the shower curtain open and stepped on to the foot towel. I secured my towel, even more as I walked past a 'blind' Emmett and Rosalie, still perched on the toilet seat. I rummaged around, my wardrobes trying to find a comfortable pair of jeans, that weren't going to kill me. Finding nothing but surfer shorts, mini skirts, dresses and skinny jeans, I threw on a bra, t-shirt, socks and pants, before Emmett and Rosalie emerged from my bathroom. (She knew whatever happened, she was cleaning; it was a house rule, whether she lived here or not.)
Folding the towel, over the stair rail, I made a run downstairs, it was one of the Mission Impossible, James Bond type runs. Where round every corner, you look before you move=stealth mode. I ran past the closed door of the living room, and into the kitchen to find Alice sitting on her usual seat reading a magazine, listening to the radio.
"Afternoon, Bella," she said in a all too smiley happy tone.
"Not you too," I answered glumly. Yes, it was the afternoon, but I still felt like crap and I wasn't really in the mood for a happy, lively Alice. Nice, Pamper time Rosalie, Yes. Alice, No.
"Oh, Bella I think you may have forgotten, to get dressed," still a happy tone.
"Your a giggle Alice, I think I may have noticed." I plodded over to the dry and started rummaging around in the dry clothes. "Has Rosalie, told you the good news?"

Edward
Alice woke me up this morning, with a curious, mischievous look on her face. I guess I was asleep on her best friends sofa, when I could have easily gone down the stairs to my own bed. I left the room, after Alice stared at me without speaking for what felt like hours.
I sat on the sofa in the living room, watching Soccer AM, while Emmett found out what the girls wanted dinner, Alice was in the kitchen guarding the cooker. She was also waiting for me because I was going to try and teach both her and Emmett how to cook something simple. Which was going to be a challenge in itself, we just couldn't decide what to make.
I heard some quite footsteps coming down the stairs, and decided to wait a few minutes before I went to find out what I was making.
Eventually, I peeled myself of the sofa and made my way into the kitchen.
"Oh, Bella I think you may have forgotten, to get dressed," still a happy tone.
"Your a giggle Alice, I think I may have noticed." I plodded over to the dry and started rummaging around in the dry clothes. "Has Rosalie, told you the good news?"
Bella, was knelt in-front of the dryer, pulling out a pair of jeans. She jumped back up with the jeans, holding them in front of her body testing the size, and then pulled them on. She looked amazing with or without the jeans, the pants she wore were them small boxer types, which flattered any girls bum cheeks and legs if the new how to wear them. Her her hung loosely down her shoulders, still wet from her shower and starting to form ringlets. She was also wearing a close fitting t-shirt, which showed of the curves around her hips and breasts. Hmm, I could watch her all day, clothes or no clothes. You might think I'm some sort of perverted house mate, but seriously I have heard worse.
"Yeah, full on pamper night. Can't wait to wax, Emmett. Release all my anger," Alice replied still engrossed with her magazine to notice me.
I stood there quietly while Bella jumped around in her jeans to stretch them, from there cardboard like state. She then turned round, plunging her hands into the pockets, stretching them too. Not that she did need to much, they fit perfectly. As she found my face, her face lit up.
"Thank you, for looking after me last night Edward. Even, if I can't remember much after throwing up on the side of the road." She carried on smiling as, she moved over to peer in the fridge at the opposite side of the kitchen.
"What do you want for lunch, Bella? I'm going to try and teach Alice and Emmett something." I asked as I walked over to sit on the stool opposite Alice, she hadn't changed the page since I had left the kitchen, when Emmett went upstairs.
"Hmm, Chicken Stir Fry? I got all the ingredients, on Friday or Thursday, I just haven't had time to make it myself. It's easy enough for them to learn, isn't it?" She came over to sit on the stool next to me, the smell of strawberries and freesia wafting over to me.
------xoxoxoxoxox--------
Remind me next time to never, let Alice in the kitchen with Emmett. Especially, when there is sharp knifes around. I might as well, have made it myself, Emmett kept eating all the raw ingredients, cooked or not and Alice kept either dropping things, or cutting herself. By one, it was ready, but only because Bella and I stepped in. She may seem like accident prone, but when she was in the kitchen she was like Nigella Lawson, she could put me to shame, without trying.
After lunch, most of us sat in the living room, watching The Day After Tomorrow, while Alice and Rosalie went of shopping, mostly for tonight. All of us, knew what was happening except Emmett, if we sprung on him, he wouldn't be able to get away and most of us wanted pay back. It was obvious, Bella wasn't one of the shopping types, unless it was for absolutely necessary.
She sat next to me, on the sofa, Emmett sprawled out in the chair and Jasper sat in the bean bag in the middle of the floor. It could have been a little romantic, except both Emmett and Jasper kept giving involuntary commentary throughout the film and Bella was on her laptop typing away on msn, Facebook and a very large essay for university.
The commentary annoyed me, it wasn't like none of us hadn't seen the film before. An hour into the film, Bella closed the laptop, in defeat and started to concentrate on the film.
"Oh come on guys, you know your gonna freeze to death, just listen to Sam, his Dads a weather guy." Emmett shouted out from the chair.
"For gods sake Emmett, would you just shut the hell up. Your giving everything away." Bella shouted at him.
"You've seen it before Bella, its your DVD."
"Yes, I have seen it before and it is my DVD. But when I watched it, I didn't really see that much of it."
"Why?" Emmett asked sitting up in the chair, I could personally guess the answer already, Emmett was always a little slow.
"Me and Jacob, watched it one night." Bella said simply, but quietly. Emmett looked confused a little at first and then it all sunk in to his dim big head.
"How much did you see in the end then?" Jasper asked lightly, trying to take the building tension away.
"The start, maybe like half an hour."
"Oh," all three of us said at the same time.
It kind of hurt, hearing about all this. It shouldn't but it does, the fact that her and Jacob, were unbreakable, a few month ago. Well she thought they were. The fact that on the night, that I first met her, Jasper described her as funny and innocent, but Jacob was a sex-crazed, over-protective maniac. The two personalities didn't go together, it was like chalk and cheese, instead of cheese and crackers. I just cannot picture, the two of them together happily, Jacob sounded controlling more than anything else.
"Edward?" The voice of the angel, was speaking to me.
"huh?"
"Did you want a drink?"
"I think he wants more than a drink, he's completely zoinked out." I wasn't exactly sure, what Emmett was referring to when he said, 'I wanted more than a drink'.
"Yes, a coke please."
"A coke, have something manly." Emmett exclaimed He leaned over to the other side, of the chair and then threw a can of lager at me.
"No, Emmett. Seriously, I am not in the mood for drinking ancient yeast." I threw the can back at him. Bella left the room, shaking her head at the both of us. Probably, thinking, 'Guys, what a load of crap. What have I got myself into, living here.'
She came back in to the living room, with two full glasses of coke, handing one to me and then sitting back down with the other. I took a sip, choked and nearly spat it back out in shock. It was coke, just with added vodka, I looked over at Bella, who winked at me.
The film ended, just as we heard a car pull up outside. Signalling, Emmett to switch back over to the football, and Bella to go and see what they had bought. I was in on the secret waxing as well, but I didn't get up, because Emmett was bound to think something was going on. Just how they were going to get his chest or his legs bare, was something I wanted to see, without drawing attention to themselves. Emmett, knew they were having a pamper night, although he thought that it was a private girls only thing.
If only he knew the truth.

Bella
"Edward, Jasper get of me, I will hurt you."
Edward, Jasper, Alice and Rosalie were pinning Emmett down on the floor, each sitting on a limb. It was funny, that he wasn't going to hurt Alice and Rosalie. I hovered over his bare chest, well bare as in no shirt. The chest hair was unbelieveable.
"No Bella, please. You love me don't you?" He was trying to use the trademark Cullen puppy dog eyes.
"Those puppy-dog-eyes, are not going to work on me tonight. No, as a matter of fact I don't love you, Emmett." I knelt down at Edward's side, with a devilish grin on my face, oh this was going to be so fun.
I smoothed the hot was over his chest, where it looked the hairiest part of his chest. This felt like that waxing part in the 40 year old virgin. I grabbed on of the fabric strips and smoothed it over the wax, patting it down firmly, just so it would hurt more.
"Bella, please. I will be your personal slave for a year." I shook me head at him. "Two years, including the sex slave part. Please." It was surprising, how far he was willing to go, even with Rosalie in the same room.
"Excuse me, Emmett. Are you going to consult me on this?" Rosalie asked.
"Nope, nothing can stop me now. Revenge is sweet." I held the skin down, and then with my other hand, gripped the same end of the strip. Emmett scrunched his eyes, preparing for the pain.
"Come on, Emmett. Be a man!" Edward said in a smooth voice next to me, it was obvious he was mimicking Emmett from some point in the past.
I pulled the strip back with all my strength in one quick sweep.
"Owwwww, fucking hell," Emmett screamed, everyone let him go, and we all fell on the floor laughing.
I was leaning on Edward trying to compose my self. He was gorgeous, when he laughed.
"Oh my god, Bella. That was the best ever." He held up a hand for a high five, "I have waited to see that for years."
"Come on Emmett, we have to do the rest now." Alice piped up behind me.
"Yeah, but can we all do a strip. I need to inflict many years of pain on him. Payback." Edward asked.
"No, No more. Why do people pay good money for that, its torture."
"Emmett, I'm not sleeping with you if you look like that."
"Come, Rose. I am not going through that again. Please remember last night, I'll do it again, anything you want."
"Emmett, please don't say any more. I moved here, partly to get away from you explicit conversations." Edward smiled at him, and then looked at each of us. "Attack!"
We all attacked him once again. I grabbed a leg, while Rose grabbed the wax I had been holding.
By the way I have never done waxing this way, so maybe the things I said where wrong, *shrugs*. Oh well it was funny. The link to the 40 year old in on my profile page, its not that high pitched by the way.
Happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me (its my birthday, on the 8th February), so the next chapter may be delayed, even though I'm having the whole weekend off work, but I am having a whole weekend of partying and then recovering. Mwah ha-ha, OH I'm so excited, ill be 18, whoop. Which means I'll like be totally legal, to nearly do anything I want. YAY
