Chapter 14

BPOV

When I woke the next morning I could feel the spike of Edwards's stubble rubbing against my face. I groaned and heard laughter. Emmett's and I didn't have to open my eyes to know it was Edwards's stubble because I could smell his cologne. I groaned again shoving Edward away and pulling the covers over my head. "Belllllllllla! I'm bored" Edward tried to pull the duvet from my clutches but I held on tight and growled at him. Suddenly a pair of arms lifted me and at that I was wide awake. Edward carried me into the bathroom as Emmett snatched the duvet from me.

"I'm shaving that stubble, come here" I told him. Edward stepped forward and grabbed my tooth brush, He shoved the non bristle end into his mouth and dug around in his bathroom bag for shaving foam. He handed me the can and squirted tooth paste onto my tooth brush

"open" I opened my mouth as I squirted foam on to my hand, Edward began to brush my teeth for me as I spread the foam into funny shapes on his face. He looked like a really crappy Santa and he had to tell me to stop giggling about three times before I was allowed to rinse and spit.

Edward filled the sink with water and handed me a razor "you really trust me don't you?" I asked, flattered that he obviously did. He nodded

"but bear in mind that if you slit my throat I am so coming back to haunt you" he pointed an accusing finger at me with narrow eyes and I found it hard not to laugh again. Carefully I tilted his chin up and pressed the blade onto the skin of his throat, gently gliding it up to revel the smooth unharmed skin below. I continued after dipping the razor into the sink to wash off the foam. Edward watched me intently as he stood between my parted legs, his hands on my knees.

Once I had finished and Edward had inspected the smooth shave I had given him I couldn't help but test it myself. I lay my lips gently on his cheek so the aftershave wouldn't burn so much. I jumped off the counter and went back into the living room.

I grabbed some clothes that Alice was holding out for me and dashed up the stairs and into the shower. By the time I came down, dressed and ready everyone else had had their breakfast. I smiled at the plate of waffles on the kitchen counter. Cleco rubbed up against my leg and I stroked her for a moment as I got her a bowl of cat food. I wasn't really in the mood for waffles and so I opened the fridge, Rose came up behind me and grinned, her eyes fixing on exactly the same thing mine were fixed on. We giggled together as we cut giant slabs of triple chocolate cake and grabbed forks. Strutting back into the living room together, Alice was fuming. She opened her mouth to scream, and Emmett pulled Edward in front of him as a human shield, he obviously called her short again.

Rose and I sighed; cutting off a chunk of our cake each we shoved it into Alice's gaping mouth. Her mouth clamped down on the two forks.

"Too early in the morning Alice" Rose said shaking her head as Alice attempted to chew.

I giggled sitting down on the floor with my cake, Edward slipped out of Emmett grasp and joined me eyeing my cake. I growled shielding it from his view, only to see Emmett also staring at my cake. Jasper joined in and the vultures surrounded me. I hissed and growled but the boys could growl a lot better than me. Rose had quickly shovelled the rest of her cake into her mouth leaving me to the mercy of Edward, Emmett and Jasper.

I yelped as they closed in and tried in vain to keep the cake safe. Emmett grinned and poked me in the side causing me to yelp, whilst I was distracted Jasper swiped my cake from my hands and Emmett held me down as Edward began to run his fingers up and down my sides sending me into fits of laughter "Edward" I choked he grinned down at me as I shook "stop!" my laughter mixed in the air with his and was joined soon enough by the others laughing too. But Edward didn't let up "Alice, Rose help!" I laughed, but my efforts were futile as they were eating my cake "Edward I give!" I could hardly breathe anymore and tears were rolling down my face from laughing so hard

"Say it" he commanded

"Say what?"

"Say 'Edward is the best and I will give him all my cake'" he stopped for a moment, his body pressing down onto mine to hold me there as Emmett was laughing too hard to keep a grip on me.

"Never!" I tried to tug away from him, anything to get away and save my beloved cake. But Edwards fingers resumed their attack on my sides

"Okay okay! Edward is the best!" I hoped he wouldn't realised I left out the last bit

"And?" damn it, I crossed my fingers. Edwards noticed, his hands were on my wrists and slowly he slid them up to mine, flattening out my fingers and holding my hand, palms together fingers entwined so I couldn't cross them.

"And I'll give him all my cake" Edward stared at me for a moment his eyes tracing over my face, and my body, analysing me.

I smiled sweetly and Edwards grip on me loosened, he shifted so he was beside me and I was able to get up. Alice sheepishly handed me a plate, an empty plate that had been licked clean of all traces of cake from Jasper. I sighed getting up and grabbing another slab, I didn't particularly care that Jasper licked the plate, I mean, it's just Jasper, he doesn't have any diseases… right?

Sitting back down I was about to shove my fork in when Edward cleared his throat beside me. Hanging my head I handed over the cake. I watched him, my eyes wide and glazed over with tears as he lifted the fork full of cake to his lips. He stopped and I bit down on my lip, wonder what it would taste like. Edward eyed me and then groaned

"Oh, Bella don't make that face" it was working, my eyes widened as I looked up at him with as cuter smile as I could manage. He looked at me and then back at the cake, then back at me

"I can't do it!" he said throwing one hand over his eyes dramatically and holding out my cake. I clapped my hands together in excitement. Edwards fingers parted and he looked at me, I looked from my cake back to him and back to the cake.

"Open wide" he sat straight and opened his mouth as I shoved the forkful of cake in. He hugged me tight with a grin as I continued to share my cake. Once my cake was gone Edward grabbed my waffles and we continued to devour them too as Rose slipped P.S. I Love You into the DVD player. Emmett and Jasper sat at either end of the sofa, Alice next to Jasper wrapped in his arms and Rose lying along the length of everyone with her head on Emmett's lap.

I had forgotten about my epiphany from the night before and decided just to enjoy the last two days of being here with everyone. "Emmie honey are you crying?" Rose asked

"No" he choked trying to sound like a man. Edward laughed

"Emmett's a big softy really" he taunted. Edward lay a gentle kiss on my forehead and I became once again absorbed by the movie. Tears were spilling silently down my cheeks by the end and Edward held me tightly, letting my tears soak his shirt and cooing in my ear. Alice got up and put in The Notebook Cleco sat purring as I stroked her and soon enough it was just Edward and I left awake. The movie had ended so we draped the duvet over the four of them on the sofa, snapping a few memorable shots before going upstairs to bed. We stood together in the hallway all ready for bed

"Okay, so which bed is least likely to be tainted?" Edward asked looking at me

"Alice and Jasper" we said together before skipping down the hallway to bed.

EPOV

We were rather rudely awoken the next morning as four of our very best friends dive bombed on top of us. Automatically I pulled Bella into my chest shielding her from Emmett's crushing weight. She screamed and hugged herself closer to me as the others laughed. The bed stilled and Bella lay next to me still in the safety of my arms, Alice started to bounce jumping on Bellas stomach and she groaned. "Come on come on come on! We gotta do something fun it's our last day!" Alice bounced off Bellas stomach again and flew into the air, I took the chance to pull Bella on top of me, saving her from being crushed once again. She squealed not expecting it but then relaxed and melted into my chest. I never wanted to let her go and it made me sad to think that we only had today left together before the stress of work and Tanya returned. Hopefully the apartment would be completely finished when we get back though considering the decorators have been in.

About two hours had passed before we finally managed to drag Bella kicking and screaming from bed and get her dressed, fed and sitting sulkily at the bottom of the stairs.

"Awwwww, cheer up grumpy gills!" Alice pulled her up from the stairs

"So what are we doing?" Rose asked from Emmett's lap, but it was all she could get out before her and Emmett were sucking faces again.

"Well first up Alice and I have a bet that needs to be carried out with the help of Edward and Bella" Jasper called out. Amused Rose and Emmet pulled apart briefly to stare at Bella and I. My eyebrows pulled together

"What bet?" I asked. Bella was now stood off under the arch away from us

"Well, Alice bet me that Bella could make a better mystery cocktail than Edward. And then the other day when I was looking around for a map I found your grandmas mini bar and so we figured that this was perfect" Jasper continued with a shrug but grinned at me. It seemed that Jasper had failed to mention that I was a bartender in a night club when I was in college. I grinned back as Jasper got up and went over to the wall where it met at the corner and joined to the arch. He opened a cupboard and pulled on something.

"What are the wagers for the bet?" Bella asked

"If you win, we get to dress the boys for a day in whatever we and. If Edward wins they get to dress us. So you better win Bella" Alice replied sternly. Bella grinned giving a mock salute.

Jasper tugged on something again, it clicked and out slid a mini bar clad with everything you'd expect to find in a mini bar. Emmett raised an eye brow at Bella, she shrugged

"My grandma was know for her wild parties"

"Seriously Bella, I love your grandma" Bella grinned at him and shuffled over to stand behind the mini bar. She winked at Alice and I got up and went to stand beside her. She lay her hands out on the bar top tapping her long, slender fingers as she waited for Jasper to start the timer and Rose to bring lime wedges.

"Wait! When did the rest of us get pulled into this!?" Emmett called but it was too late for him to argue.

"Go!" Jasper yelled and Bellas arm snapped out to grab one of the many mixers along the front. Absentmindedly I began to pour various coloured liquids into a mixer. After less than the minute the drinks were mixed, bar tricks were shown off and I pushed two cocktails towards Jasper and Alice. Bella poured the last measure of hers and pushed her cocktails forward. Grinning Alice went for Bellas first, hers was more colourful and eye catching, and Alice was eager to down what Bella had made her. Jasper being forever the gentlemen picked Bellas to try first as well.

He took a sip, letting the flavours settle on his pallet for a moment as if he were an expert wine conocer before grinning and nodding in approval. I glanced towards Bella who was leaning on the counter, a small smile spread across her features as she bit her lip. She looked completely at ease, radiant. Alice and Jasper then moved onto mine. Immediately the scores were called… a draw

"We can't have a draw, someone's gotta win" Rose complained

"Well baby if they ask us, you'll say Bella and I'll say Edward. We need a third person" Bella thought for a moment before her eyes lit up in a way we all knew as Bella formulating a plot.

"Who wants pizza?" she asked. Emmet momentarily stopped arguing with Rose to give Bella a 'have you been at the happy juice whist we weren't looking?' look. Bella rolled her eyes as she continued with an explanation. "Edward and I will make another, we order pizza and then when the pizza guy comes we ask him to taste them both and he gets the deciding vote. No bias, it's totally fair" she shrugged as if the idea were so completely obvious.

But from the way the girls eyes lit up and that glint in Bellas eye, they were defiantly up to something.
