A/N: So the majority of you want a lemon for this story. I'm taking the option several reviewers gave me and am writing the lemon separately. It will be a one-shot and will come out the same day the last chapter to this story comes; reason being, the lemon would have been in the last chapter anyways. I do have the rest of the story planned out, but not written. But I love the reviews you guys are writing, thank you for getting me to over 500 reviews! I hope you love this chapter, I really enjoyed writing it.
caitlin-m-burke: My story is an alternate universe, meaning it doesn't have to be quite like the book. I don't understand what you mean, why wouldn't she have a car if it's New York? The car was a present from her dad, meaning price wasn't that big of a factor-especially since her parents aren't divorced in my story-making it even more AU. She has a car in the book, I don't see why her being in New York makes that much of a difference. If it's the kind of car I gave her, still, no difference, it's AU. All I really try to keep the same is the character's personalities, and I can still do that, even with the type of car she has or where they are.

The Roommate
Prank Day
Living with a guy can either be a good thing, or a bad thing. If they're respectful of your privacy, are clean, and don't cause too much of a rucus, than it's a-okay. However, for a certain boyfriend of mine, he is exactly like that, but kind of has the tendency to go along with the crowd. What, rather who, I mean by 'crowd' is Emmett and Jasper. And today just so happened to be their newly made up holiday as of two years ago, prank day. Every May Tenth, they have a 'little' prank war between eachother, but now, considering it's an even number, they decided to team up against us women.
For example, this morning I was looking forward to taking a nice, warm shower. And at first everything was okay, until I began pouring the shampoo into my hand, thinking it was actually shampoo. Boy, was I ever wrong. I put it into my hair and found out an instant after I saw a dark blue seeping towards the drain with the water, that it was hair dye.
When I stepped out of the bathroom, shouting for Edward, there was Emmett, standing there, pointing and laughing his big head off. Edward ran up the stairs and his eyes immediately widened. Edward had no part in the messing up my hair, he disagreed with ruining anyone's personal appearance, especially if it lasted longer than a week or more. I didn't understand why Edward would want to take any part in this at all, but apparently it's all in 'good tradition.' Later on he pulled me away from Emmett and Jasper, stating he wouldn't prank me. He was still a gentlemen, even if he was going around trying to prank the rest of us.
But the boys were not going to live this down. Prank me or not, he was still going after my friends, who I've grown to call my own family. So that surely meant war-in the word's of Alice. Once I reached my room, I slammed and locked the door shut, only to grab my cell phone off the table. The instant I touched it, it began rining.
"What did they do to you?!" Alice screamed through the phone, apparently they got all three of us.
"Dyed my hair blue," I grunted, picking at strands of my hair. I looked appalling. If Edward thought he could convince me I was beautiful after this, he was going to have a hard time. Even when this hair dye wears out, all I'll see and remember is blue every time I look in the mirror.
"They took my clothing and replaced it with a bunch of sweats and old t-shirts!"
"That doesn't sound that bad. I mean you can just go out and buy new clothing, can't you?" I frowned trying to brush my hair, it was all tangled and messed up, probably from the dye. Truth was, I was holding a lot of anger in already, I chose not to lash out, because stupid Edward had to dazzle his way out of it.
"They. Took. My. Credit cards! I hardly see this as a prank," she hissed. "Rose is over, you have to see what they did to her, by now her face is beat red from scrubbing so much."
"What did they do?" I dropped my brush back on my dresser when I got all the tangles out. My hair was now a smooth, straightened, blue. I spun around on my chair, not wanting to see the blue any further. I wonder how Edward liked this color on me now.
"They drew on her face with permanent marker, very mature. Jasper said he was going to see Edward, just flew out of the place before I noticed what happened."
"They explained their whole prank day nonsense to me, Jasper is over here. Emmett is the one who pulled the hair dye stunt on me, I assume it had to be Edward who did it to you, and Jasper to Rose. Edward told me he wouldn't be pulling any pranks on me, but I don't see how it's fair that we don't take action against them," I sighed, frustrated as I blindly put my hair up into a messy bun. It was going to be so embarrassing to even walk outside. I dug through my closet, trying to figure out what to wear.
Alice started giggling, I could hear Rose laughing along with her, though there was hardly any humor mixed in with her vengeful laugh. "Oh, we're going to get them back alright, how do you feel to the idea of making them the most sexually frustrated men on the Earth?"
"I'm listening," I smiled mischievously, though against the idea of pranking my own boyfriend, especially when the issue at hand was sex with us. However, if they wanted to play this game, they were messing with the wrong women. I was no longer the grasshopper under their teachings, maybe only a slight level further, but I was still game and was willing to do almost whatever it took to get them back. My hair was the one thing I always thought was perfect on my body, and they took that away.
"Here's the plan, Bella, pick out the sexiest tank top and skirt you have, and match it with whatever high heels that match the top. Put on some make-up, not too thick, and I'd suggest wearing a hat once you walk out of the building. Tell Edward you're going out, but don't say where. Make him worried over the possibility you might be going out with another man."
"Alice, that's a bit harsh, and you know, time after time I've said this, I hate high heels."
"Look in the mirror, Bells."
I bit my lip and shook my head, refusing to look in the mirror. "Fine. I'm not going to make him suspect that though, if he believes that's what I'm doing, than fine. But I'm not wearing high heels, the skirt is enough as it is, especially when it's suppose to rain later on."
"Alright, alright. Wear sandals then. Rose thought of a place we could go without them being able to find us, we'll text you the adress and meet you there, okay?"
"Okay, but if we take this too far, I'm out, understand?"
"We won't take it too far, I promise," she said she promised, but I was really hoping she wasn't crossing her fingers behind her back as we spoke. "And by the way, because I know you love me, please bring some clothes for me. I can't stand these sweats!" she whined before I could hear the dial tone ring out.
I took a deep breath before shutting my phone and throwing it lightly onto my bed. I could hear the guys laughing downstairs, they must be up to something. It only made my motivation stronger as I pulled on a midnight blue tank top-a top in which I knew Edward loved on me, the man only told me everytime I wore it-and a dark denim skirt which showed too much thigh for my liking, it was comfortable, but too revealing. I applied a light layer of make-up, and hopefully this would please Alice, I put on some lip gloss for more effect.
Slipping on my shoes; purse, hat, clothing for Alice, and car keys in hand, I peeked out my bedroom door once before heading downstairs. At first I wasn't gaining any attention, but when I neared the door, I tripped over a lamp cord and nearly fell. Fortunately there was a chair standing infront of me, and I grabbed that before I fell completely. Edward was at my side in an instant, grabbing hold of my waist to steady me.
"Are you okay?" he asked with such sincerity, that it made my motivation pitch downhill in an instant, but the laughing that I caused with Emmett by being such a clutz, made it rise.
"Yeah, I'm fine," I shook his hands off my waist and took another breath. "I'm going to head out and get some...groceries." Edward raised his eyebrow by the way I said groceries, as if I was covering something up. He was going to catch on if I didn't get out of here soon.
"You're going out in public, like that?" Emmett snickered.
Both myself and Edward shot him a death glare, Emmett instantly shut up and I walked myself to the door. "Why are you so dressed up for grocery shopping? You've said many times you hate wearing that type of clothing in public," I noticed his eyes as they ran over my body once, before settling on my own eyes once again. His voice was now lighter, as if he was having troubled with something, oddly enough. "let alone the color of your hair right now."
"Maybe I like this hair color, Edward. I thought you loved this color on me too," I snapped, my anger rising once again. Edward had no part in the color of my hair, and I could tell that even more now as a frown appeared on his face.
"Bella, you know I didn't partake in that, if I could have prevented it, I would have. I didn't know Emmett was putting dye in the bottle when he said he was going up there earlier."
"I know, but I don't want to be near you guys when you're planning on pranking us even more."
"Bella-"
I cut him off and kissed his cheek. "Got to go, I love you."
He captured my wrist before I could walk out and leaned in, kissing me full on the lips. Only this one wasn't like the other ones we've shared. It held much, much, much more passion and hopefully I wasn't just thinking this, but there was a little bit of neediness, as if he'd been holding that back forever. "I love you more," he whispered against my lips and leaned in for another, but I pulled back, my face flushed, and my mind beginning to feel more dizzy, and clouded with lust by the second.
He smirked, and I knew Alice's plan on making him believe I was going to see another man wasn't going to work. If he knew he still had this affect on me, he knew I would never go for another man. "Do you want me to go with you downstairs?"
It then hit me of my vow to never go to the lobby alone, but if I allowed Edward to go with me, I would start feeling more guilty, and then Alice would be pissed. And a pissed Alice was never fun. "No, thank you. Love you, bye." I sprinted out the door before Edward could say another word, my response probably gave more room for him to believe the whole 'there's another man' story. I didn't want him to believe it, so I was starting to hope he didn't think that.
When the elevator reached the first floor, I ran the whole way to the door, avoiding Clayton, thankfully, but made myself look like a complete idiot. Oh sure, nothing unsual about a blue haired woman running from her boyfriend and a complete pervert that is also known as the elevator operator.
I opened my car door and started it as fast as I could, but when I got onto the road, I went the speed limit, as I always would. My phone began ringing, a tone in which notified me of any text messages. I opened it and saw the address Alice was speaking of.
It took around 20 minutes to find the place, and it ran into an apartment building. And for the thirtieth time in the past ten minutes, my phone rang again. Edward and Alice both have been calling me over and over, each for different reasons. I put the phone to silent and went inside the building to find the number Alice had told me. Before I even knocked on the door, I was abruptly pulled inside, initiating my clutzy feet in a twister-like frenzy. The right leg tangled with the left, and I would have fallen if Rosalie hadn't caught me.
"About time you got here, Alice has been on a marching rant around the place, screaming about her clothing and what the guys are doing," Rosalie said.
It took everything in me not to laugh at her. And I thought my face was bad when I blushed, she looked badly sun burned all over her face-from scrubbing the permanent marker off-which didn't even work so well. The spots where Jasper drew on were faint, but they were definitely still there. I squinted my eyes to see that he drew things like a child would with crayon on a wall. Which in reaction would really piss Rosalie off, she was anything but childish. "You look like hell," I said abruptly, I couldn't just lie and say she looked as 'hot' as always, right?
"You're one to talk, Marge Simpson," she nearly hissed at me. I took a step back and my jaw flew open, that was a bad comparison, my hair wasn't even that blue, nor did it stick up twenty feet in the air. I thought she was mad at me, but she laughed an instant after she said that. "We can all look like hell together, I think Alice got the best of it, though."
"I did not! They took my credit cards, my clothes, and who knows what they have done with them!" she screeched, popping out from the kitchen in too baggy sweat pants and an overly large sweat shirt. Alice snatched the clothes I brought for her from my hands and stormed off into the bathroom.
I rolled my eyes at her attitude, Rosalie and I seem to have the upper side of this, and we got pranks much worse than her's. At least she could get her clothing and cards back by the end of the day. Rosalie's face should clear up by tomorrow, but my hair, that's going to take a while to clean out. But I guess she's acting like this because she's so used to looking good, she has her style set in her mind, it's an everyday routine that she looks the way she wants. When one's routine is broken, one can't help but get a little testy.
"So who's place is this?" I asked Rosalie, who was back to washing her face with a soapy wash cloth.
"Alice's friend's," she paused from washing her face and looked into a small mirror that was laying on the counter. "Alice called her up from work and she said we could do it from her place, apparently she's going to be out for the entire day."
"And she agrees as to why we're doing this?"
"Of course, a girls got to do, what a girls got to do. What the guys are doing is completely stupid, they should have continued their tradition on eachother, not us. We never said we wanted to participate."
"Well we kind of are participating now," I stated, still in the mix between wanting/not wanting to do this.
"That's only because they did drag us into this, we can't just sit back and allow it," Rose gave a heavy sigh and dropped the cloth into a small bowl on the table.
Alice came out of the bathroom, an evil grin set on her face. "So who's ready to put the plan into action?"
"What exactly is the plan?" I asked. "I get the part about making them 'sexually frustrated', but how are we going to do that when we're here, and they're there."
"We kind of live in an age with electronics, Bella. If we're with them, that makes the temptation to give into their lust much harder, and our plan could backfire-especially with you, because your little 'dazzling' situation. But if we're here, we have the upper hand and can hang up on them whenever we want. Then there's more trouble with them when they can't even find us. And if we're good actresses, we can make them believe we're with another man."
"That's a no-go for me, before I left, Edward kind of made me all dizzy with his kissing, if he knows he has that affect on me still, he knows there's no other man for me."
"Well Emmett is our easiest target, Jasper has a tendency to remain calm when it comes to sexual tension when he's around the guys, and with Edward, well..I'm assuming he's a little bit of them both put together," Alice hopped onto the couch, between Rosalie and I, and grabbed her phone off the side table.
Alice started dialing the number before I stopped her. "Don't you need to block the number first?"
"No, as long as they don't know where we are, we're fine."
She switched the phone to speaker, and while it was ringing, she went over the plans. "You two, go along with what I say, alright? Just make things up as I go, and when they start questioning where we are, or if they catch on to our plan, I'm hanging up."
Rose and I nodded, and I was tapping my fingers lightly against the arm of the couch with nervousness, while Rose held herself together to keep from laughing. Jasper answered the phone, and we could hear him hushing the others. "Alice? Just a question, Edward's been having a panic attack about Bella's where-abouts, and to be honest, it's giving me a headache," Jasper said through the phone.
"Oh, poor Jazzy, I'm sorry, honey, but this time, I can't help you. Bella's here, but we're not saying where we are."
We could hear shoving and yelling before Edward's voice came onto the other end. "Bella, look, I'm sorry about these pranks, and if you want, we can stop. Just please tell me where you are."
"Edward! You big pussy, just because your girlfriend doesn't like it, and you don't like pranking her, doesn't mean we can just end a yearly tradition!" Emmett yelled.
I bit my lip and was about to reach for the phone, but Rosalie grabbed my shoulders and pressed me against the couch, far enough from the phone's reach. "Bella, look what they did to your hair, you can't give in so easily," she whispered.
"I just don't see how Edward should be punished when he didn't even do anything,"
Alice put a hand over her phone and silenced us. "If I may interject, he stole my clothing and credit cards."
"Exactly, he didn't ruin your personal appearance, he didn't go too far," They both shot me a death glare and I shook my head and Rosalie's arms off of me. "Okay, okay. I wont ruin your guys' plan, but remember what I said about going too far? If it gets to the point where Edward leaves the loft to look for me, than I'm out."
Rosalie took the phone and spoke up in a sultry voice. "Emmett, you guys kind of took it too far, can't just expect us to sit here and allow this. Too bad for you I'm sitting here in your favorite outfit on me, all the other men I've passed on the street today seemed to like it, spite my marked up face, by the way, thank you for that, Jasper," she said his name with such venom, that even I couldn't help but flinch a little. Alice scowled and slapped Rose on the shoulder.
"Alice, what the hell?!" Rosalie rubbed her arm and was about to retaliate, before I pulled her arm back.
"Girls, come on. Another reason why we shouldn't be doing this, we all think our boyfriends are innocent, as they all probably oppose what the others are doing to us. They have no problem pranking us as long as it's not their own girlfriend," I said in a low voice, trying to calm them down.
"She's right, can't exactly go through with our plan, if we think our own boyfriends are innocent. We can't just ask Bella to seduce Jasper, you Em, and me Edward," Rosalie cringed a little. "That'd be wrong. None of them are innocent. We have to stick together, because even if Em didn't prank me and vise versa, they still got our best friends."
"What do you mean by seduce?" Emmett's voice boomed through the phone. All of us froze in that instant while Emmett kept bellowing through the phone. "No, no, no. If this is your guys' idea of a prank, that's going too far. My own girl seducing some other guy, that's taking it too far, especially if it's Eddie over here."
Apparently he hadn't heard the rest of our conversation, but Alice and Rosalie seemed to find a bright side to his assumption, I stepped in before they started going along with it. "Edward doesn't like that little nick name, so I'd advise you to not call him that. And another thing, you must have bad hearing, or when you hear one bad thing, you just block out the rest before it gets to the right point, because that's not our intention."
Emmett hadn't responded, by that time Edward was back on the phone, his voice holding a tinge of desparation. "Bella, if your intention isn't to prank us-"
Alice cut him off. "Oh, that's our intention alright, she just said our intention isn't to seduce some other man."
"I understand the need for revenge, it's the whole idea of this. But whatever 'seducing' thing you have going on and if you're trying to pull Bella into this, and she's not willing, all I ask of you is to please not. I don't want her going off and doing something that is so unlike her. Bella, please listen to me, if you want the pranks to stop, I'll step out, and we can let everyone else have at it," Edward said lightly, I could tell he was trying not to make this into an argument, we haven't been in a fight since we got together, after all.
"Edward, I'm not asking you to end your tradition, I respect you wanting to go out and do things with Emmett and Jasper, we're all adults here, in a way, but I just ask you do your prank day on participants who are actually willing," By then I had the phone in my hand and was hiding in the bathroom from Alice and Rosalie, whom thought I was going to ruin their prank when it already ended the instant we called.
What was the point in pranking them when they already knew what we were going to do? Besides, I didn't want this to cause more problems in Edward's and my own sex life, or lack there of. "Then please come home. I'm not use to worrying about you being in parts of New York by yourself, especially if I don't know exactly where you are."
"Alright, alright. I'll come home, but I do want to participate in this little 'holiday' of yours. Emmett crossed his line, the only problem is that I don't want to go against my own boyfriend, I say couples against couples."
"You have been spending too much time with them," Edward sighed, but I was relieved when he chuckled right after. "Alright, we can do that. I'll send Jasper and Emmett home, you tell Alice and Rose too, tell them what the plan is, and we'll have an hour to find out one prank we can do on each couple, best pranking couple wins."
"Okay, I'll see you soon," I smiled through the phone before I hung up and unlocked the bathroom door, only to have Alice and Rose pile ontop of eachother onto the floor. "Guys, here's the plan," I started after helping them up. "Couples against couple. Edward sent Jasper and Emmett home, you two follow them, and we all have an hour to prank each couple, best prank wins. Since our prank failed for two reasons; we can't stand when one of us starts insulting another one's boyfriend, and then the idea of pranking our own boyfriends is wrong."
"But then we're just ganging up on our best friends," Alice interjected.
"You said pranking our boyfriends is wrong. But what if it's an innocent way?" Rosalie started, confusing Alice and myself both. She noted the puzzled looks on our faces and continued. "Like we pretend to go along with whatever goofy plan they make to prank the other couples, but when we all meet up, we end up ganging up on them."
"I like where this is going, but how do we gang up on them, in an 'innocent' way?" Alice questioned.
"Water balloons? I have a stash of balloons at home we could use, left over from this party we had at work a few weeks ago. I can probably keep Edward busy with something while I fill them up and hide them in the car. We can persuade the guys to make the pranking spot in the park," I suggested.
"Yes, but why would we all meet up to just prank eachother in the same spot? Wouldn't we surprise eachother by ending up at another's house?"
I sighed as a strand of blue hair fell from my pony tail and into my face, I tucked it behind my ear and tried figuring out how our plan was going to work. "Well we can't exactly do that either. What if we all left at the same time and the couple we were pranking wasn't there, thus no point in the prank. We can still pull of our pranks in the same spot and surprise them."
Alice began jumping up and down and clapping her hands together. "Perfect! We'll pretend to go through with our boyfriend's pranks, and Bella you have to try and get there first,"
"That's no problem. I won't argue with Edward about his driving, but you owe me big time for that."
She laughed and nodded her head. "I think a trip to the mall and not forcing you to try on anything I want is perfect. Back to the plans, once you get there, hide the balloons in a place the guys wouldn't think to look, and inform us when we get there. Before the events start, we'll sneak off and grab the balloons, and let the revenge commence."
"Sounds perfect, I don't think anyone of us will have a problem with getting revenge on our own boyfriends now," Rose grabbed her purse and slung it over her shoulder, she didn't seem as angry as she was when I got here, probably because things were more than settled with the guys, and she knew she would get her vengence anyways. "We should get going before they start expecting something."
Alice and I agreed with her and all took off in our separate directions. I could tell people were staring at me as I walked towards the parking lot to my car. The blue hair definitely made me the attention magnet. But there was only one good thing about having the hair right now anyways. I could use the excuse that I was trying to scrub the dye out of my hair, but instead fill up the water balloons-which would explain why I would be having the water on for so long.
When I got home Edward was waiting outside for me, why was the question that immediately popped into my head. I didn't exactly care why he was waiting, I just smiled as he was walking towards me when I opened my car door. "Were you that worried about where I was?" I questioned, leaning against the car door and waiting for him to arrive.
"You have no idea, now where were you?" he asked, wrapping his arms around me, my body now pinned against his and the car's.
"Alice's friend's place. No need to worry anymore. Right now, we need to plan," I grabbed either side of his face and leaned in for a quick kiss before grabbing his hand and pulling him along with me.
"That anxious are we?" he laughed quickening his pace so that he was right beside me. I nodded as my response and that strand of blue hair flew infront of my face once again, Edward, using his free hand, placed it back behind my ear. "You know, Bella, Emmett felt bad for this, but apparently there's another part to the prank, the dye that's in your hair is one those 'lasts only a day' kind. The kind people might wear to support their sports' team at a game, meaning it should wash out in the second rinse."
At what he said, I haulted at the front of the elevator. "Seriously? Why didn't you tell me that before I left the loft earlier?" I asked, my voice raising unconciously.
"I didn't know before," he replied in a hushed tone as he leaned in and kissed my cheek. "I am sorry about all of this though."
I sighed, trying to let the anger subside, it really wasn't Edward's fault, I knew this all along, still, this little stunt Emmett pulled just pushed me over the edge, it was unfortunate that Edward was in the line of fire. "I know, I know," I stepped inside the elevator and leaned against his shoulder as we waited for it to hit the seventh floor. "It's not your fault, I know that. Once we get upstairs, I'm washing this dye out. Though, I must say, Alice is very pissed off about her cards and clothing, Edward."
"Ah, she got the best of it," he sighed and pulled me back against his chest, his chin leaning on my head. "Besides, Jasper was telling me how it would be nice if she didn't spend so much time shopping. That was more of a favor, rather than a prank."
"Jasper never told you why she does shop so much?" I asked, tilting my head up to look at him.
"He has, and he understands completely. Yet, human kind does have a stopping point. He'd rather spend a day outside with her, rather than inside the mall."
"That's true," I breathed out and a smile was set on my face as I nearly skipped down the hall to the loft. As I opened the door, I swung around and pecked him on the cheek before jolting up the stairs. Before I got far enough, I could hear him speaking to himself about my being in a too happy mood for pranking. Which even I had to admit, was very unlike me.
I locked the door to the bathroom, and with my new found information on my hair, began washing the dye out. To my surprise, it came out, but there was still a tint of blue left. For the next thirty or so minutes, I made Edward believe I was washing the dye out, but in reality, I was filling up the balloons. Before I opened the door, I looked left to right, and stepped out, closing the door silently behind me, bucket of balloons in hand.
From the sounds of it, Edward was in his room, playing his music, and hopefully too intent on listening to that and making up our prank that wouldn't be happening, instead of what I was doing. I was back into the lobby, now into the habit of running to my car, just to pass Clayton. I made it and placed the balloons into the trunk, certain that I had made it clean and clear, but the second I closed my trunk, Edward was standing right there.
I jumped, and nearly screamed, but Edward laughed, his arms crossing over another on his chest. I gripped tightly onto the edge of the car, breathing heavily. "You need to stop sneaking up on me like that. Sooner or later you are going to be the death of me."
"Irony at it's best, that's exactly how it is with me," Edward took a step closer, his breath now at my neck. I could feel the hot air trail up my neck, and to my ear, where he whispered, "What are you planning Isabella Swan?"
"Nothing," I whispered back shakily, afraid I would be reduced to a puddle in a matter of seconds.
"Than what's all the balloons filled with water for?" his velvet voice made me bite my lip, as my hands clutched even harder to my car.
"You're just evil."
He laughed and I could feel the cold air once again as his mouth left my skin. "And you're just too beautiful for my own good," he tapped my nose with his index finger, but then a serious look came across his face. "Now, honestly, what are the balloons for?"
I began tapping my foot on the ground, a stubborn look now worn on my face, I could tell because whenever I got that look, Edward grew a smirk on his own. I wasn't intent on giving in, but after awhile, I stomped my foot in aggravation and gave in. "The girls and I were going to backfire on the plans you guys were making. But we wanted to do it in an innocent way. Thus the water balloons."
"Ah, I won't tell," Edward smiled and played with a strand of my still wet hair. "You girls probably put a lot of planning into this. We deserve the revenge, just surprise me with the time and the excuse you're going to use to get away from us men at the same time."
"Should I be thanking you?" I laughed and pulled him closer by his shirt.
"Maybe, but I don't think a verbal thanking will cover it."
"Then what kind of 'thanking' do you prefer?" I asked, trying to play along, but a mixture of a giddy feeling along with a large amount of neediness, made it impossible to keep myself from holding back so long.
"I think you know what kind of thanking I'd prefer," Edward replied, his face only centimeters from my own, I was so desperate to close that gap, but for once, I needed to make him the wanting one.
And everyone that knew me, knew I would never be able to resist a man like Edward. All I could settle on doing, was finish the conversation and initiate the kissing. "I don't read minds, Edward," I said in a light voice, so much that I wasn't even sure I heard it. I closed that gap roughly, my arms around his neck, trying to pull him closer. My tongue eagerly grazed across his lips, wanting him to part his own, and gladly, he accepted entrance.
There was no one around to interrupt this moment, and I was glad for that. It was just Edward and myself, nothing else mattered, not even this stupid made up holiday. Yes, there was no one to interrupt, but there was something, let us say, prank day has been cancelled due to an expected account of rain-well, it was expected for the girls and I, we could count this as our prank to them.
Thunder rang ahead, and I jumped, bumping our lips harshly together. Edward winced a little, but shook his head and laughed. "Bella, you surprise me everyday."
I stiffened against him, really disliking the sound of thunder. Sure, I loved the rain, but thunder, I would rather it be left out. Edward's and my cellphone both, started ringing, I was sure it was our friends, but the thunder was drowning everything out. Edward seemed to know what was going on and leaned me back, so I was secure against the car and his body. I felt his arms wrapping protectively around me, as he captured my lips once more.
The rain, as chilly was it was, didn't bother me in the slightest bit. At first it was a gentle patter, but grew instinctively over a matter of minutes. Had I just acheived every women's dream? A kiss in the rain. I never dreamt of it, but I sure did love it. It made me forget all about the thunder, a figment of my nightmares. This was how it was always like with Edward, when I was with him, I forgot all the bad things in life and all the good things just seemed...right there with us.
At times like this, one has to wonder, are we soul mates? The funny thing is, we only started out as roommates.
Not going to say anything about my long awaited update, other than I apologize. Hope you enjoyed. Prank Day turned out to be a total bust, right? It had it's funny points, but I got into the whole fluff at the end. I hope it's not a bad thing that it switched around quite a lot. Hopefully, I am back to my weekly updates.
