Bella POV
I Quickly went upstairs and did my hair. I then phoned Charlie and said I was going out.
Just as I was checking my hair again, I heard a beep outside and made my way out to meet Edward.
He was out of his car and by the passenger side door.
"Hey" I said.
"Thanks Bella. We really need help. Emmett's just mucking about with the helium for the balloons." that sounded like Emmett
"No problem."
He opened the door for me like a proper gentleman and made his way over to the drivers seat and started the car.
"So how come Rosalie isn't helping you guys?" I asked as we pulled out of my drive.
"Well we did ask her but she was helping her mom with something so she's coming over later."
"Oh right, how much have you done then?"
Edward glanced at me slightly with a sheepish grin on his face.
"Well…um…nothing." I couldn't help but giggle. "I guess we have a lot of work to do then." He nodded and we sat in silence for a few minutes.
I glanced out the window and saw tree rushing past us. "Do all Cullen's drive fast?" I asked.
Edward faced me and laughed. "Sorry, do you want me to slow down?"
"Please. You do know I can go grass on you, seeing as I'm the daughter of the police chief." he laughed again but slowed down.
A few minutes later, Edward was pulling into a drive outside a massive white house. I sat there in shock at how beautiful it was, There were steps leading up to the door with two white pillars at the bottom. I didn't realise that Edward was already out of the car and opening my door for me.
"Wow" I said once we were standing in front of the house. Edward chuckled beside me and started walking towards the door. I caught up with him and we entered the house.
I gasped at how bright and big the interior was. Edward took my jacket and placed it on the chair by the door along with his own.
"Follow me." he said and started to walk into, what looked like the Lounge.
The furniture had been pushed to the walls and a big music system was placed in the corner. I found Emmett in the middle of the room, sucking the helium out of a balloon.
"Hi Bella!" he squeaked and ran over to me, pulling me into a bone crushing hug. Hearing that high voice come out of such a big guy made me laugh out load.
"Hey Emmett" I said once he placed me back down on the floor. "So shall we get started? What do we need to do."
Emmett and Edward told me what Alice had told them to do and we got started right away. Because Emmett kept using all the helium for the balloons, I made him go clear out the den so that it could also be used for the party. Edward took the job of blowing up the balloons to be placed in the corner of the rooms and I decided to put the streamers up by the door using a step ladder.
I would of thought that balloons and streamers were a bit childish but the black and purple theme actually looked quite good.
I just needed to reach over a little more to pin the last of the streamers to the corner of the door frame when I lost my balance and felt myself falling to the floor.
I braced myself to hit the ground but was surprised when I felt two strong arms catch me. I opened my eyes to find two green eyes starring back at me.
"Are you ok Bella?" he whispered. It took me a few seconds to find my voice.
"Yes. Thank you." I replied. He didn't' put me down, he just starred at me. I felt myself getting lost in his eyes again but was interrupted by Emmett's voice.
"Ok I'm fin-" he started but then realised that I was in Edwards arms. "Oh I'm sorry, Am I interrupting something here?" He asked with a cocky grin and a raised eyebrow. My cheeks were boiling. I quickly jumped out of Edwards arms and straightened my clothes.
"Uh…n-no your not. Edward just caught me when I was falling." I replied with a shaky voice.
"Ooooooh right." Emmett said with a huge grin still on his face. "Well I'm going to go pick up Rose. Bye" He left the room after he winked at Edward. That made my cheeks burn even brighter. If that was possible. Once the door was closed I turned to face Edward.
"Did you hurt yourself?" he asked.
"No, thanks for catching me."
"No problem." Then it was silent.
"So have you finished?" I asked him. He seemed a bit distracted but answered me.
"Uh…yea. Do you want a drink or something?"
"Sure." surprisingly he grabbed my hand and pulled me to the kitchen. My heart started to beat harder and a smile appeared on my face at how our hands fit perfectly together. Shut up Bella, I told myself. I was acting like a little girl who's crush had just spoke to them. He let go of my hand and went to the fridge.
He handed me a can of coke and took me on the tour of the house. The house was three stories high and was decorated beautify. Edward told me that Esme had decorated the whole house, and now and then, bought houses to refurbish and then sell on. We were on the third floor now and Edward showed me his room. I felt my jaw drop at how big his room was.
The wall that faced the woods was glass and the view was breathtaking. He had a massive bed up against the right wall and flat screen TV on the opposite wall. He also had a black leather coach, up against the bottom of the bed and a desk in the corner that had laptop placed on top of it. Next to it was a giant book shelf filled with books and CD's.
I walked in and sat on the edge of the bed. He came and sat next to me and switched on the TV. I glanced at his bedside table and found a photo.
It was of a man and a woman with a little boy on the mans shoulders.
"Who's this Edward?" I asked and handed him the photo. He sighed and turned the TV back off. I glanced up at him and saw what looked like pain in his eyes.
"That's my real mom and dad with me. I was about five when that was took." I could now hear the pain in his voice. "They died when I was seven." I felt like I needed to comfort him, I wanted to take his pain away but I couldn't do that. I put my hand on top of his and he smiled at me but it didn't reach his eyes.
"I'm sorry Edward." He handed me back the photo and I placed it back on the bedside table.
"It's ok." It was silent for I don't know how long but then we heard Alice call out so we made our way down stairs.
"BELLA!" Alice screamed when she saw me walking down the staircase. She ran up to me and hugged me. "What you doing here?"
"Edward called and said he needed some help with the decorations." I replied glancing up at Edward who still didn't seem himself.
"Oh right, thanks." I then noticed that Jasper, Rosalie and Emmett were standing behind her.
"Hey guys." I said and waved. They all said hello back and the boys went into the kitchen, Jasper dropping his bags by the door. Alice grabbed mine and Rosalie's hands and pulled us into the lounge.
"Wow!" Alice said walking into the middle of the cleared room, "You did a good job Bella."
"Thanks" I said with a sheepish grin on my face.
"So Bella, have you decided what you're going to wear tomorrow? Or should I say has Alice?" asked Rosalie as Alice rolled her eyes.
"No I decided. Alice was going to make me wear a dress but I put my foot down." Rosalie looked at me in shock.
"She's too stubborn that girl." Alice commented and huffed which made me and Rosalie start to giggle. For another ten minutes or so, me, Alice and Rosalie chatted while the boys stayed in the kitchen. I glanced at the clock and found that it was already nine-thirty and that I should really be getting home soon. Edward must be a mind reader because as I was just going to get him he turned into the room.
"You ready to go home Bella?" he asked.
"Yep, let me just go say bye to everyone." First I gave Alice and Rosalie a hug and then went into the kitchen to say bye to Jasper and Emmett.
Emmett gave me another bone crushing hug and ruffled my hair, which was really annoying because it made me feel even shorter, while Jasper waved from over the other side of the breakfast bar.
Edward was waiting for me by the door with my Jacket and opened my door for me when we were getting in his car.
YAY! I got over 10 reviews lol. Thanks, keep them coming. I want to know what people think of it so far.
