Hey Everyone! So this is the next installment, not much to say!
Xoxo, DEVINEROSE
"Okay." Carlisle said as he came back into the kitchen. We were currently moving our freshly painted eggs to the monster garage fridge because we had run out of space in the fridge in the kitchen.
"We are all set for Wednesday. Let's meet here at 9 so we have time to get there and hid the eggs. What's going to happen is each of us is going to get a group of kids and we will follow them to make sure nothing goes wrong, and then once all the eggs are found, were going to stay with the kids for a little bit, then we'll leave." Carlisle said, joining in on the egg storing. We had just load the last few cartons when my phone rang.
"Hello?" I answered.
"Bells, hi, are you having fun?" Charlie asked.
"Yeah. I'm having a great time!" I told him honestly.
"Good, good, I'm glad you're enjoying your time. I was just calling to see what time you were coming home." He said. I hadn't even been thinking about the time, we were just having so much fun with the eggs.
"Uh hold on." I covered the mouth piece to my phone with my hand and asked Edward what time it was.
"6:30." He said checking his watch, I thought about it before answering Charlie,
"7:15, is that okay?" I asked.
"Yeah that's fine, you can stay later if you want, I was just unsure about dinner, should I order a pizza?" He asked thoughtfully.
"No, I'll be home in time to make dinner, I was thinking pasta with red sauce, is that okay?" I asked.
"Sounds great Bells. See you then." He said.
"Bye Dad."
"Bye Bells." He said hanging up.
"Have to get home?" Edward asked as if it just dawned on him that I didn't live here.
"Yeah, I'd better go and grab my stuff." I quickly ran upstairs and grabbed my duffel bag and my box that had my boots in them. Then brought them down and placed them by the door before reentering the kitchen to say goodbye.
"Thank you so much for having me." I said to Esme and Carlisle.
"Nonsense honey, we're so glad you could stay." She said giving me a hug.
"Adios little one." Emmett said holding up his had for a high five that I smacked with my own palm. Alice gave me a tight hug, before saying bye.
"We'd better get going too, Esme." Jasper said, and he and Rosalie dolled out their hugs, as I kissed Edward goodbye. It wasn't as intense as our others since everyone was watching, and I could tell he was just as disappointed about that as I was.
"Let me get my keys." Edward said, going to find them before Rosalie stopped him.
"Um Edward, Bella is our neighbor, it wouldn't be that hard to drop her off ourselves." Edward looked to me for my response. I didn't want him to have to drive me when I could easily get a ride and save him the trouble.
"Thank you, Rosalie." I said, and Edward nodded reluctantly, resembling that of a small child that had just been told they couldn't have a cookie before dinner.
"Oh Edward calm down. It's not like you're never going to see her again." Emmett said with an eye roll as he hugged Rosalie.
"Yeah we can all hang out tomorrow." Alice reminded him. Edward nodded again before returning to me for a hug and another short kiss goodbye.
"I'll see you tomorrow." I said as he kissed my forehead before whispering.
"I was hoping to give you a decent kiss goodbye in the car." He sighed letting me go
"Well you can do it tomorrow." I promised, and he smiled.
"Can I call you tonight?" He asked. I laughed at his question.
"Of course you can!" I said as we carried my stuff out to Rosalie's car. He popped the trunk and we put everything in there. I shut it, and waited for Rosalie and Jasper to join us. When they didn't do so immediately, Edward pulled me into his arms and pressed his lips gently to mine. I was just about to open my mouth for him when Jasper yelled at us from the porch,
"Okay you two, it's time to go!" We both groaned as we were forced to separate. Edward opened the backseat down for me and I slid in. He winked at me before closing the door and walking back up to the porch as Rosalie and Jasper got in. Rosalie pulled out of the driveway and Edward stood on the porch until we turned onto the main street and out of sight. It felt weird being away from Edward, but I tried to ignore the feeling as I stared out the window at the passing scenery.
About two minutes into the car ride Jasper's phone rang, he answered it laughing,
"Didn't I just see you, Lovely?" He paused listening to her response, before laughing again.
"Yes, well I suppose that's true." He said, then listened again.
"Hold on, I'll ask." He turned to us, " Alice say the carnival is in town until Thursday, and wants to know if you guys want to go tomorrow."
"I'm in." I said, and Rosalie nodded.
"What time?" She asked. Jasper relayed her question to Alice.
"She says five-ish." He told us.
"Alright Alice see you tomorrow." He said then paused and listened to her for a minute before smiling again.
"That sound like fun. I'll pick you up in an hour." He said before hanging up.
"What was all that about?" Rosalie asked with a knowing smile.
"Alice and I are going out tonight." He said to her.
"So where is this carnival?" Rosalie asked.
"This place just outside of town, maybe fifteen minute drive." He said.
"Any idea if it's good or not?" I asked.
"Yeah it's supposed to be really good according to Alice." He told us.
"That'll be fun." I said as we pulled into their driveway.
"Thank you for the ride." I said to Rosalie.
"Oh it was completely worth it just to see Edward's face when he found out he couldn't drive you. Oh boy is he head over heel in love for you." Rosalie said getting out of the car. I got out too and went to the trunk to grab my stuff.
"You think?" I asked.
"Bella if there is one thing Jasper and I know best, it's the Cullens, more specifically, the Cullen boys. Edward may not be aware that he loves you, but we know he does." She said before shutting her car door and walking up to her house. Jasper and I watched her the whole time, both our mouths slightly opened. That had been the nicest thing anyone had said to me since I had been here, and I had certainly not expected it to come from Rosalie.
"That was unexpected." I said to Jasper.
"Yeah, just a touch." He said before turning to me.
"But unexpected or not, Bella she has a point." I nodded and we both turned to go.
"See you tomorrow, Bella." Jasper called when I reached my door.
"You too!" I called back. I thought back on the past two nights and about Edward. My heart soared at the idea that he was all mine, and even Rosalie thought so. I smiled as I walked into the house.
"I'm home!" I called to Charlie.
"Hey Bells!" He shouted from upstairs, I heard the tv going and I knew there was some game on.
I went to my room and put my stuff in there, being careful when placing my boots in the closet. I unpacked my over night stuff and I walked into the kitchen to start dinner. I had water boiling and pasta sauce simmering, when the phone rang. I crossed the kitchen to answer it,
"Hello?" I said walking back to the stove.
"Bella?" The voice on the other end asked.
"Hi Mom!" I had yet to talk to my mother since I had gotten here.
"Hi honey, I'm just calling to check in, how are you? How's the vacation" She asked.
"I'm fine and the vacation amazing." I informed her.
"That's great, have you made any friends?" She asked.
"Yeah there are a bunch of kids my age, my neighbors are really nice and so are their friends." I said.
"Fun! Any boys?" She asked and I could tell she was laughing.
"Yes, the neighbors have a son named Jasper, and their friends the Cullens have two boys, Emmett and Edward." I couldn't help but smile at his name.
"Do you like any of them?" She asked.
"Yes, Edward, he's really nice." I told her.
"Edward? Hmmm a little old fashioned, don't you think so? Whatever, that doesn't matter, is he cute?" She asked and I couldn't help but laugh. Sometimes I was positive that my mother was more a teenage girl than I was.
"Yes, very."
"Well, what does he look like?" She pressed.
"He's tall, with messy bronze hair, and emerald green eyes." I said once again smiling uncontrollably.
"Can he kiss?" She asked, see, teenage girl.
"Mom!"
"What?! It's an important question, don't 'Mom' me." She said with an audible laugh as I added pasta to the water and set the timer.
"So is he?"
"Yes mom, he's actually kind of amazing." I said quietly with a blush.
"Oooh, lucky you." She said.
"Who's lucky?" I heard Phil ask in the background, my blush grew even redder.
"Bella is," Mom replied, "She met a cute boy who's an 'amazing' kisser.'' I heard Phil laugh.
"Congratulations Bella! Enjoy your vacation."
"Thanks Phil." I said to my mother who told Phil. Charlie had just come down and began setting the table.
"So aside from the cute kisser, any other friends?"
"Yep." I then described Emmett, Rosalie, Alice, and Jasper until the timer for the pasta went off.
"Sorry Mom, but dinner's ready, but I'll talk to you later! I love you."
"I love you too, Honey. Have Fun!"
"I will Mom. Bye!"
"Bye!" She said hanging up. I hung up the phone and poured the pasta into a bowl pouring the sauce on top. I brought it to the table and sat down.
"So how's your mother?" Charlie asked serving himself.
"She's fine, just called to check in." I told him.
"Good. How was your weekend?" He asked and I froze for a second thinking back on my weekend. I went to a party where I got drunk then assaulted, and then headed back to my boyfriend where we made out like crazy, followed by us sleeping in each others arms all night long. Not the story every father wants to hear, so I went with,
"It was fine, the party was pretty good and today we dyed a bunch of eggs for an egg hunt we're having in the children's ward at the hospital on Wednesday." Pretty good.
"Well that sounds like fun. So do you have plans for tomorrow?" He asked.
"Yes, there is a carnival in town, so Alice invited me to go with them."
"You really seem to like hanging out with the Cullens." He said.
"Yeah, they're pretty great." I had no idea where he was going with this.
"Are you dating one of them?" He asked all of a sudden, I blushed and didn't say anything, not because I was hiding, but because I was unsure of his reaction. He wouldn't ban me from seeing Edward, but he would be very cautious every time I went anywhere with the Cullens and the Hales.
"I didn't mean to snoop I just overheard you talking to your mother about a boy, so I figured I'd ask." He explained.
"No its fine, but yes I am dating Edward." I said.
"Oh, and is he going tomorrow?" He asked casually, but I read right through that.
"Yes, he's picking me up."
"Good I'd like to meet him." He said taking a bite of pasta.
"Okay." I said letting out a sigh of relief.
We finished dinner, and Charlie helped me clear the table. I got started o the dishes while he went upstairs to watch some tv before going to bed. When I finished the dishes I turned out the lights and yelled a 'goodnight' up to Charlie at 9:30.
"'Night Bells!" He shouted back.
I went to my room and changed into my PJ's, a pair of shorts and a t-shirt before climbing into bed with my book. After an hour I turned out the lights and tried to sleep, but it was useless. After only two nights of sleeping in his arms I was unable to sleep without them. I closed my eyes and tried anyway.
Then there was a knock on the window. I opened my eyes to see Edward standing on the other side of the glass. I opened the window and he climbed in gracefully.
"Edward, what are you doing here?" I whispered, he smiled my favorite crooked smile.
"I didn't get my goodbye kiss." He said then pulled me into his arms and kissed me.
So I hoped you liked and don't worry this(goodbye kiss) will continue, but I have to eat dinner right now then I'm going to bed so I'm sorry.
