A/N Hey everybody :)
Sorry I was gone for so long but I just got caught up in family time during Thanksgiving :P
This is part 1 of christmas break part 2 should follow shortly :)
Begin!!
BPOV
"Five laps, now!" Coach Clapp ordered. Oh how I've missed practice…
It was my first week back at regular practices and my limbs had turned into jelly only on the second day.
Thank god it's Friday! I thought as I rounded the corner of my final lap.
"Alright ladies, bring it in!" Coach blew her whistle signaling we could stop.
I practically crawled over and waited for my other teammates to join me. "Now I know winter break starts the moment you step out of this gym, but that doesn't mean you get to fill up on Christmas cookies and come back out of shape." She started to pass around sheets of paper. "I've talked to your parents and they know to make sure you get all of these workouts done during your time off."
An audible groan escaped everyone's mouth.
"Other than that, happy holidays!" she smiled brightly at us.
I looked over the workout schedule and groaned once more.
Monday, Wednesday, Friday – A one-mile run, 200 ab crunches, 50 pushups
Tuesday, Thursday – A two-mile run
I stuffed the paper in the bottom of my gym bag and slipped on my sweats before leaving the locker room.
Edward was waiting for me by his car when I reached the parking lot.
I stumbled over him, almost slipping on the newly formed ice, and crashed into his side.
"Whoa! You okay?" he asked while supporting my weight.
I leaned my head on his shoulder, "Shoot. Me. Now."
There was no answer so I assumed he was confused. I reached a hand into my bag and threw the workout regimen at him.
"Wow…all we have to do is run half an hour every other day…" he chuckled.
"Quit laughing buddy, you're gonna do this with me." I said as I poked his chest.
"Yeah right!" he scoffed while opening the car door for me.
"Pllleeeaaasssseeeee?" I pouted.
"I'm gonna have to go with…no." he smirked.
"Edward!!" I whined.
"Bella!!" he mocked.
"You will be working out with me over break." I huffed, folding my arms over my chest.
"Will not."
"Will to."
"Won't."
"Will."
"Nuh-uh."
"Yes-huh."
:-:-:
We were still going at it as Edward pulled into his garage.
"You will." I stated confidently now.
"No I won't."
"Yes."
"Nope."
"Yes you will!" I pointed a finger at him.
"Okay." He shrugged.
"Really?" Didn't think it would be that easy…
He leaned in, mere centimeters from my face, eyes locked on my and whispered, "Nahh…" and then shot like a bullet out of the car and into his house.
"EDWARD CULLEN, DON'T YOU RUN AWAY FROM ME!!" I yelled at his retreating form.
I put on my best game face and calmly made my way into the Cullen's home.
"What'd you do to him?" Carlisle teased.
"Nothing…" I replied innocently.
"Righhht…" Carlisle chuckled and walked off muttering about us 'goofy kids.'
"Esme?" I called out as I searched the downstairs. "Esme??" I jumped when she came around the corner.
I put on my best 'Edward-needs-to-get-in-trouble' pout and she noticed, "What's wrong dear?"
I solemnly handed her the crumpled up workout sheet and she read over it. "Oh my, Edward has to do this too?"
Hook.
"Well no, the boys got a measly 30 minute run..."
"That doesn't seem fair." She agreed.
Line.
"And I asked Edward to keep me company while I ran and stuff, and he said no…" I jutted out my bottom lip for extra effect.
"He said no?" she raised an eyebrow.
Sinker!
I nodded sadly.
"EDWARD! Come here now!"
"Yeah?" he hesitantly walked over.
"I was just talking to Bella and she told me about your daily workout you have to do during Christmas break…"
He looked over at me and gave me the stink eye, already knowing where this was going. I just smirked back.
"Oh that, yeah, Coach is making us run about a mile everyday. Pretty brutal is you ask me…" he stated adverting his gaze from me and unleashing 'momma's boy' onto Esme.
"I suppose, but did you hear what the girls have to do?" she asked waving the paper in the air.
"Uhh…I think. Bella may have…mentioned it…"
"So you know how long it will take her everyday to complete this?" she questioned. I was a little confused, not knowing where Esme was going with this.
"I-I guess…" Edward stammered.
"And you're willing to sit around the house for about two hours everyday when you could be spending time with Bella?"
"Well when you put it that way…" he sighed.
Esme is brilliant.
"So you'll workout with me?" I asked sweetly.
"Yes.." he nodded reluctantly.
"Thanks Esme!" I gave her a quick hug and ran to Edward.
:-:-:
"No, no, no, no, no!" Emmett huffed.
"Well then I have no idea! What the heck was that?!" Rosalie snapped back.
"I was an iPod!!"
"An iPod?! Who in their right mind would try to act out an iPod?!"
"Me! Obviously!" Emmett threw his hands in the air dramatically.
It was technically the first day of winter break and we had all been snowed in at the Cullen household.
Esme had invited all of us girls over for dinner last night and when it was time to head home, we realized it had snowed two inches and was sleeting at that moment.
The parents trusted us enough to let the boys camp out in the living room with us, so that's how we got here, 2:18 in the morning, playing charades.
"I want to switch teams!" Rosalie whined.
We had chosen to pair up as couples when the boys complained about losing again if we split up according to gender.
So far Alice and Jasper were in the lead, not losing even one round, Edward and I came in second because, well let's just say its not too hard to be ahead of Emmett and Rose.
"I call Alice!!" Emmett immediately yelled.
"Alright." Alice chuckled.
"What is it with you always wanting to be on the same team as my girlfriend?" Jasper questioned.
"Yeah!" Rose added.
"She just happens to be a very good at all the games we play…" he explained.
Jasper and Rosalie rolled their eyes.
I ended up partnering with Jasper leaving Rosalie and Edward together.
Jasper leaned over and whispered in my ear, "I think we can win because we're the only team without an Emmett or Rosalie and let's face it, they suck." He snickered.
I laughed in agreement and four heads whipped in our direction. "Having fun over there?" Alice glared at us jokingly.
"Jasper…" Edward warned.
"Don't worry Edward, if I fall madly in love with Jasper I'll make sure you're the first to know." I giggled.
Edward didn't find it funny.
As Jasper predicted though, we did win. I thought Rosalie's lion was a bird and Emmett's Elvis was…well I really didn't have a clue.
Jasper was right, they did suck.
The game finally ended around 3:30 a.m. and we were exhausted.
We all climbed into our sleeping bags and waited to drift off to sleep.
That never happened.
I was stuck between Edward and Emmett. From Emmett's snoring and Edward's heavy breathing I couldn't relax.
Apparently Rose was having the same problem.
I heard a 'thunk' and then Emmett's snores halt.
"Stopp ittt…" he groaned sleepily.
"Then quit snoring! You sound like a bulldozer." Rosalie whisper-yelled.
"I do not!" he defended.
"Anybody else still awake because of the human tractor over here?"
"Me." I called out.
"Me too." I heard Alice chime in.
"Then come on girls, we're finding somewhere quieter!" she marched out of the living room.
We ended up sprawled out under the dining room table.
"Night girls." I sighed, finally happy to get some shut eye.
"Night." Alice and Rose said together.
EPOV
I was expecting to wake up with Bella snuggled up next to me, but Emmett was there instead.
"Whoa!! You are not Bella!" I screeched, my voice still thick from sleep.
A few snorts escaped him before reaching consciousness.
"What gave me away?" he asked sarcastically.
Jasper woke up from all the commotion and sat up rubbing his eyes, "Alice?"
Emmett looked around too still only half awake, "Rosie?"
"The girls aren't here." I stated the obvious while both of my brothers proceeded to look around the room.
"Where would they be?" Jasper asked.
I glanced at the clock and groaned; it was only 6:00 a.m. "I don't know, its not like they could drive home the snow plows probably haven't even made it out this way yet. They've got to be in the house."
"Let's just go back to sleep guys, it's too early for me to function…" Emmett yawned and slipped back into his sleeping bag.
Jazz and I followed suit and tried going back to bed.
It was definitely a lost cause.
"This is not working out for me!" Jasper huffed, "I miss Alice…"
"Agreed!" I started to follow Jasper to look for the girls.
"You two sound like a bunch of girls…" Emmett grumbled even though he decided to come too.
We all started searching different areas of the house. I secretly hoped Bella was in my room and I could just crawl into bed with her.
I discovered a new found energy to sprint up to my bedroom, but she wasn't in there. I was pretty disappointed.
We probably searched the house for a good fifteen minutes before finding our girlfriends snuggled up together under the dining room table.
"How come they couldn't do that with us last night?!" Emmett stared in disbelief.
I just shrugged and watched him get on all fours as he crawled over to where Rosalie laid.
He pressed a hand on her shoulder, but before he got the chance to shake her so she would wake up Jasper spoke.
"You sure that's such a good idea man? You know she isn't the most pleasant morning person…"
Emmett just scoffed and began shaking her.
"What is it?!" Rosalie groaned.
Emmett didn't answer her, but slowly started to lift her off the ground.
"Let go!" she started to kick and flail her arms around repeatedly hitting Em in the face.
Jasper and I had to keep a hand over our mouths so we didn't start laughing.
"Chill Rosie! I'm just taking you back to the living room!"
"So you can snore in my ear again?!" she screeched.
"No…ow!" Emmett had lifted his head abruptly and banged it on the bottom of the table. I couldn't take it any more and fell to the ground in a fit of laughter.
"Well that why did you decide to wake me up?" She asked clearly annoyed and not caring about the goose egg forming on the back of Emmett's head.
"I just wanted to cuddle with you…" he pouted.
That did it for Rosalie and she allowed him to carry her back to the living room.
Lucky for me Bella is a heavy sleeper, so I just scooped her up in my arms and lowered her to the couch before slipping in behind her.
She flipped around in her sleep to face me, "Edward…love…you…" and clung to the t-shirt I was wearing.
Pretty sure I fell back asleep looking like I had a hanger in my mouth.
:-:-:
What seemed like seconds later I felt someone poking my face.
"Rise and shine sleepyhead." Bella giggled.
I tightened my arms around her and nuzzled my face in the crook of her neck, "No…!" I whispered groggily.
I could feel the vibration of her laughter and then murmurs from other people as she talked to them.
I thought everyone had left so I quickly flipped Bella onto her back, careful not to press my weight on her as I hovered over her. At first she looked startled but then after I gave her a good morning kiss a blush crept to her cheeks. I didn't understand why until there were snickers coming from my brothers and mom to the left of us.
I cleared my throat and hopped off of the couch while Bella hid under the blanket.
"Uhm…good morning." I cleared my throat nervously.
"Looks like you had a…good night…" My mother coughed to hide her laughter.
Thank goodness for Jasper, he ushered Esme out of the room quickly as he went on about how much longer he couldn't go without breakfast.
This left Emmett and I staring at each other and Bella still buried under a cover.
"Edward, Edward, Edward." He tsked, "The excited type in the morning I see…" he teased.
"Get out!" I pointed towards to doorway.
"Fine, but if you two decide to show a little PDA again, warn us please." Emmett chuckled.
"Out!" Bella and I yelled at the same time.
I turned around and saw Bella lying on the couch still red in the face.
"That was embarrassing Edward…" she sighed.
"Sorry…I thought everyone had left..." I smiled sheepishly, "I promise to never do anything like that again." I stated crossing my heart.
"Well I didn't say I didn't like it…" she blushed again.
"Hmm...in that case…" I walked back over to her and started from where we left off.
"Edward…what if someone comes in again?" Bella asked worriedly.
Right on cue I heard a giggle coming from the doorway, "Oops! Sorry, didn't mean to interrupt…" Alice giggled again before flitting away.
"Come on Edward, we better stop before anybody else sees us." Bella started getting up from the couch reluctantly.
"Rose and my dad are the only ones left…what harm could it do for two measly people to see us?" I pointed out.
"Edward!" Bella scolded.
"It was worth a shot…" I mumbled.
:-:-:
"Ready?" Bella asked enthusiastically.
"I guess so…" I sighed dramatically.
She slapped me on the chest and feigned hurt. "You mean you don't want to workout with me?"
"Workout, no. Hang out, yes." I replied.
We had just finished our 200 ab crunches and 50 pushups. I didn't feel like running, I just wanted to fall over and sleep.
"Well I don't see why the boys got off so easily! How do you get a wimpy thirty minute run and I get a freaking personal trainer!?"
"Maybe Coach Clapp is trying to tell you guys something, like you're all out of shape…" I joked.
That earned me another slap, "Hey! I was just joking!"
"Yeah, yeah…joke all you want Cullen. My girls could beat your boys' ass any day." She smirked and sprinted off.
"Cheater!" I yelled before trying to catch up with her.
We ended up running all the way to the park for our mile. Of course, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to play one-on-one with Bella once I saw the vacant court.
I chucked her the ball and she looked at me like I was crazy. "Edward, there is ice covering the entire thing! You know I'm gonna slip."
I walked up to her and threw her over my shoulder, "Well I guess I'll just have to be ready to catch you."
"Put me down you big meany!" She started punching me in my back.
"Big meany huh?" I gently tossed her onto the pile of snow in front of me.
"Edward! I cannot believe you just did that!" she looked shocked.
"Its just a little snow…" I smiled at her as I bent down and packed together a snowball.
"Don't do it...I know what you're thinking Edward…hit me with that thing and you're dead." She slowly lifted herself to her feet.
"Is that a threat Miss Swan?" I teased.
"Just hand it over Edward…" She beckoned with her hand as she moved closer.
"What fun would that be?" I noticed she had a hand behind her back with her own snowball in it. "Besides, I can't leave myself unarmed."
"I don't know what you're talking about." She said trying not to smile.
Before I had time to think she whipped the ball of ice at me and it hit me square in the face.
"Oh my gosh! Edward I'm so sorry! I was aiming for you're chest." She ran over to me and wiped the melting snow off of my face.
"Sure…" I teased before rubbing my own snowball in her face.
"Cold!!" she squealed. "Edward Cullen! Mine was not on purpose!"
"Aww, come here Bells. I'm sorry." I said trying to help her.
"No! You have done enough!" She scolded, but I could tell she was trying hard not to laugh.
"Bella? I'm reallllyyy sorry. Please forgive me." I pouted.
"Really sorry?" she asked.
"Really, Really." I smiled and grabbed her around the waist.
"I guess I forgive you." She sighed, "But only since you're really, really sorry."
"So can we play now?" I asked anxiously before pressing my lips to hers.
"Yes." She laughed.
