Chapter 23 the Cullen isle part 1
"Look" Edward said as he pointed. I smiled widely at the sight before me. I couldn't even explain it. The island is a paradise.
It was surrounded with bright stunning blue waters and white pearl sand. It was exquisite. I gasped at the wonderful greeneries that the island beholds. The yatch shifted course and went to west part of the extravagant island.
The yatch came to a stop at a dock, constructed with wooden planks. At first I didn't know what to do, but as soon as the ideas flooded my head, I didn't know which one I will do first. Unconsciously, I grabbed Edward's hand as the rest of the Cullens led us to our villa.
"This is villa Esmeralda." Carlisle spoke as he clung to his wife lovingly. We all smiled at the two loving couple in front of us and I just couldn't resist squeezing Edward's hand with my own, just to make sure he isn't just a dream. I looked at him lovingly as he looked back with same love I held for him.
"Come on now children, we need to get settled." Zon announce-whispered to my family. We nodded as she opened the door of the villa. Both Zon and Quinn gasped at the sight before us. The villa was down right elegant. The whole north wall was covered in glass which gives us a great amount of view of the island. They squealed and ran from left to right as they take in the whole thing.
I clung to Edward's arm as we followed my crazy mother and sister to the second floor. Edward announced that it only held 4 rooms, so two of us must share a room. Everyone stopped, except for Zon and looked at Edward who is smirking.
Everyone knows, with their own reasons, that I can't share a room. Quinn and Gleb are obviously sharing a room so meaning they already claims one of the rooms. Zon, well she's our mom so definitely, there's a room for her, which led us to the three of us. Gail, Drew and me. Sigh. Always the three of us.
The three of us looked at each other intently as if challenging one to make a move. I searched the nearest bedroom door but unfortunately, as soon as I left my gaze, Gail ran into action towards the bedroom door nearest to him and claims it as his.
Drew and I groaned in defeat. I can't share a room. Ever. Especially when the one you're sharing a room with is your brother. I know we don't sleep but still, we need our privacy.
"I can't share a room with her." my idiot brother pleaded as he clung to zon's clothes helplessly. "I would not make it as soon as her stuff landed on the floor. Remember what happened to Gail?" I saw at the corner of my eyes that Gail flinched.
I rolled my eyes.
"Hey! My room was not that messy. I was just finding something at that time but I guess I forgot to 'cause someone wanted to play hide and seek." I said looking at Gail while crossing my arms against my chest.
"Pleeeaasse!" drew pleaded more. I rolled my eyes.
"Oh shut it! I'm not a messy person and you know it. Ask Edward if you like. He's always there." I said nonchalantly.
As soon as the words came out of my mouth, realization hit me. My eyes widened in shock and I put both my hands to my mouth. Quinn, Gleb and Gail burst into fits of laughter while I heard Drew mumbled "eww"
"That's not what I meant….what I mean is…he does…oh forget it!" I stuttered as I tried to explain.
I hid my face against Edward's chest as I heard him chuckled. He wrapped his arms around me and whispered "its okay love, you wouldn't be staying with them." His breath tickled my ear that makes me loss for words and hard to register what he was saying. I pulled away to clear my thoughts a bit and looked at him, confused.
"I wouldn't?" I asked.
"No, you'll be staying at the Cullen's villa. With Edward." Zon answered my question for Edward.
My head snapped at her direction and I let out a squeal.
"Seriously?" I asked. I just couldn't believe it. Zon chuckled at me but answered "yes, seriously."
"Ha! I wouldn't be a sharing a room with you after all." I pointed my finger at Drew. He rolled his eyes at me but sighed in relief. Then, it dawned to me.
"wait." I stopped abruptly and looked at Edward accusingly. "why wouldn't you tell us that we need to share a room in the first place if you knew all along that I'm staying with you?" Edward looked at me and smiled sheepishly.
"I just wanted to see your reaction with sharing a room with one of your brothers. The three of you are comical, in your own ways." I said while chuckling under his breath.
"oh." Was my only reply.
…………………
As I settled my things inside one of the cabinets of Edward's room, the door suddenly burst open.
"Bella! Come on, hurry up! You need to get change. We're going swimming!!!" she squealed and bounced on top of the bed.
"Okay, okay." I said while laughing at my little pixie sister. I grabbed my bathing suit and changed inside the bathroom. When I got out, Alice was already dressed in her cute swimsuit with an orange dress on top of it. She wore orange flat sandals, a sun hat and accessories.
"You look hot in that swimsuit Bella! But why cover it?" Alice asked, completely curious. I rolled my eyes at her as I looked in front of the mirror.
I was wearing a turquoise cutout swimsuit to cover up with a floral tube dress. I grabbed my straw cowgirl hat, blue shades and flip flops. I put on some accessories and looked at Alice expectantly.
"Alice, as if you wouldn't know." I winked at her and grabbed her hands and we both ran out of the room to be met by a really hot Rosalie. She was wearing a red swimsuit with a red kaftan and whit shorts. She was also wearing a sun hat and shades.
"Come on guys! I'm so excited to swim." She looked just as enthusiastic as Alice. She grabbed my freehand and pulled me out of the villa together with Alice since I was holding her hand.
We ran to the beach and we saw only esme, Zon and Quinn chatting animatedly. As we approached them, I noticed what they were wearing. Quinn, as usual, was wearing her colorful swimsuit on top with a pink kaftan top and denim shorts. She put on pink sun glasses and white flip flops.
And for my lovely mother, which I'm sure quinn dressed her up, was wearing a polka dot swimsuit to cover up with a white short, leather flat sandals, dark sun glasses, and gold accessories.
As for esme, she was wearing a very daring brown swimsuit with a long gypsy-like skirt, sandals, big brown shades and a scarf. I smiled at her and nudge her at the side.
"Wow! Esme. You're looking hot! I bet Carlisle wouldn't be able to get away from you." I said as I motioned my hand towards her outfit. She laughed her angelic laugh.
"Thank you dear. Actually the boys needed to drag him away just so to give us girls some time to talk a bit." Quinn and Zon laughed their heads off remembering the scene before we came.
Rosalie, Alice and I just shrugged and lay down on our own beach chairs that the island crew provided before we came down.
…………………………
We we're sunbathing and talking when we heard familiar screams coming from the cliffs.
"JUUUURAAHHHNI MOOOOHHH!!!!" yelled Emmett before he jumped off the cliff and did a triple flip in the air before crashing down in the water.
I smiled wildly looked at Alice and Rosalie. Alice was jumping on her chair while cheering for jasper and Rosalie was checking out a very wet Emmett as he emerged from the water.
I shook my head and focused my attention to the guys up on the cliff. Gleb was going in for a cannon ball jump when a certain half naked bronze-haired god was walking towards the edge of the cliff. My smile grew wider when the sun beamed down his body making it sparkle and my whole body shiver. He was flexing his muscles like a pro and jumped off and dived elegantly into the blue depths. I sighed. How can this god be mine?
I was making my breathing steady again when Edward, came out of the water. I think my mouthed dropped. He's like a super model, emerging from the water slowly, dramatically, like teasing me to death. The water dripping from his hair, traveling down his torso and….
"Bella!!!! Yooohoooo?!!!"
"What?!" I asked reluctantly breaking away my gaze from Edward, to a jumping Alice.
"I was asking if you wanted go cliff dive. Rosalie doesn't want to; she said it would ruin her hair and all that. Can we go, please????" she put on her famous pout, which is unnecessary.
"Are you kidding? Of course I wanted to go! Come on." I snatched her hand and we were about to run when Edward stopped us.
"Bella, maybe you should do that later. Let's stay here with the others for a moment, okay?" he asked melting me from the spot.
Thankfully, Alice was the one who answered "no fair! If you guys get to jump, so do we."
Edward rolled his eyes "fine, but we're not coming." I stifled a laugh. The two of them are just so cute and funny when fighting like that.
"Who says we want you there?" I said while raising my eyebrows and crossing my arms against my chest.
"Bella…" Edward said but Alice cut him off.
"If you guys don't want to go, fine by us. Stay here, we're not the one who's going to suffer from It." she smiled smugly while Rosalie and Quinn came to join us.
"Alice, what are you on to?" Rosalie asked suspiciously.
"Oh, just stand in front of your man and follow my lead." she said while walking towards jasper that was lying on the beach chair. Quinn, Rosalie and I all shrugged and I went to stand in front of Edward. I noticed Alice took off her sun hat and that's when the plan entered my confused brain.
I took off my hat and shook my head slowly so my hair would follow. Edward's eyes burned when he saw me and he clutched the side of the chair preparing for what's to come. I smiled sexily and took of my shades and put it aside. He was biting his lips making me want to kiss him there and then. I composed my self and took off my dress. His eyes got bigger, wider and I saw the desire and want burning in them. I smirked and throw my dress to his face.
I leaned down to him and whispered in his ear "too bad you guys are staying here." I heard him whimper putting a smirk on my face.
As I was walking away, he abruptly stood up from the beach chair and announces at us "maybe we should come along. You know, just so you girls would be safe." He said. The guys nodded their heads enthusiastically.
Rosalie was the one who respond "no, it's okay. You said you guys wanted to stay here and wanted to be with the others. And besides, we know how to take care of ourselves." I smiled at them and waved at Edward.
The four of us took off running and giggling at the guys faces before we left.
"Alice. You're such a genius!" exclaimed Quinn.
Alice giggled in response as we slowed down and reached the highest cliff. We waved at the boys who were sulking at the beach. I noticed Zon and Esme were no where to be found and Carlisle was grabbing some shovels and buckets from his bag.
"Come on Bella!!!" Alice shouted before she jumped. I looked around me and I noticed I was the last one. I just shrugged and flew a kiss at Edward before jumping off. I did a simple flip in the air and crashed down into the water.
I swam all the way to the shore and was met by a burning Edward. I smiled knowingly at myself that he's been craving for me ever since we left them here.
"I missed you" he whispered before crashing his lips to mine. I sighed inwardly. Oh, how I love this creature.
We pulled away trying to catch our breathes and walking hand in hand towards the others who are setting up shovels and buckets.
"What's going on?" I asked to nobody.
"We are having a--" Edward responded but was cut off by Emmett.
"FREAKIN' SAND CASTLE CONTEST!!!!" He yelled while punching his fist in the air.
"And going to win!!!" Alice exclaimed while dragging jasper to the spot where they will build their sand castle.
"You wish." I muttered.
"Yeah, she does." Edward mumbled making me chuckle.
"Come on, I have an idea." I said while grabbing Edward's hand and pulling him towards our spot.
I explained to Edward what we will do and he agreed. I grabbed Drew's boom box and clicked play. The song 'just dance' by lady gaga blasted out the speakers making all of us dance. Emmett did the moonwalk while Alice did the jai ho dance around him. We we're laughing so hard few of our sand castles were ruined. We we're halfway through our castle when Esme came with a digital camera.
"Smile"
Edward flashed a winning smile while cradling me on his lap while I kissed his cheek; Emmett was carrying Rosalie bridal style while rose threw a handful of sand onto Emmett's face. Alice and jasper on the other hand was quite funny. Alice sat down and looked innocently at the camera while jasper was looking all like a vampire and has his teeth bared onto Alice's head, as if he's going to eat it. Gail and Drew of course, the idiot they are, draw a big S.O.S. sign on the sand while waving their hands frantically in the air and quinn and Gleb just shared a passionate kiss.
After ten minutes, Esme, Zon and Carlisle announced us to gather up and to tell who the winners are.
"And the winners are…" Esme was cut off by Gail and Drew stepping forward.
"Thanks!!! We know we are so talented." They waved their hands at us and flew kisses.
"Emmett and Rosalie!!!" esme announced. We all laughed as drew and Gail sheepishly smiled and walked slowly and whistled to the side.
Emmett and Rosalie claimed their trophy, which is out of my mind how they got that. We all went over to Rosalie and Emmett's sand castle. And I'll say, it was really awesome. They built a structure of Emmett flexing his muscles while Rosalie kissing Emmett's cheek and a sand castle surrounding the two figures.
Then we go on next to Alice and jasper's castle which is the exact replica of Walt Disney castle with the exception of the cartoonized faces of Alice and jasper in front of the castle. Then came Gleb and Quinn's castle. It was a haunted castle with a grave yard and few zombies about to get out of their coffins. It was pretty creepy but it's still nice.
The next was mine and Edward's castle. We built a four feet tall extravagant castle and put the word 'paradise' at the bottom. And lastly, Gail drew's castle. Well, actually it wasn't a castle. They built the word 'castle' with their own figures on either side of it.
"Isn't it awesome!!!" Gail exclaimed. All of our mouths we're hanging open except the judges. Quinn broke the silence.
"Can you two get any stupider than that?" she pointed on the, er, 'castle'
"What?! It's still a castle, except not the actual thing." Drew defended.
"Yeah and it's stupid." I stated.
"You just don't know the meaning of unique. Look at your castle, I bet it's your idea and Edward just agreed at it." I gasped and drew smirked.
"At least my idea is better than yours" I retorted. I was clenching and unclenching my fists out of my rising anger.
"Actually, we boys are unique. Look at our ideas. My idea was to put a structure on our castle and I bet its Gleb's idea about the haunted castle theme." Emmett contemplated.
"Oh, so you're saying girls are not unique?" Rosalie shrugged off of Emmett's arm and came onto my side. She put her hand on her hips and raised an eyebrow at Emmett.
"No, babe. I'm just saying, jasper and Edward are not man enough to tell that the girls' ideas are dumb." Emmett's eyes widened when his words got out.
"Oh Edward, do you think my idea was dumb?" I asked, raising my eyebrow and tapping my foot impatiently.
Edward grumbled under his breath at Emmett and faced me with a sheepish smile plastered on his face. Just by looking into his eyes, I can see that he really thinks he has a better idea. My eyes widened and I controlled myself at the anger I'm feeling.
Before he could answer, I raised my hand for him to stop. "Don't answer." I turned my back at him focused my gaze on the scene before us. Alice and Quinn are yelling at jasper and Gleb.
"Children!!!" Carlisle yelled over the endless argument between the boys and us girls. "Please, it's just a game. We all know every one is uniquely different. Why don't we settle our minds to that, eh?" he looked at all of us hopefully.
"No can do!! We'll prove to these idiots that we're better and unique than they thought we were." Rosalie said.
"Yeah, if they think they're so good, well they haven't seen anything better." Quinn stomped her way over at Rosalie's side and glared at the boys.
"And we'll prove it until they admit that they're wrong for thinking poorly at us." I said while walking away. The rest of the girls followed me to villa Esmeralda.
When we reached the door, Rosalie was the first to shout.
"UGH!!!! I can't believe them!!! They are such an idiot!" she flopped down on one of the sofas and hid her face with a pillow.
"Okay girls, we need a plan. How can we prove to those idiots that we are better?" I asked.
"wait." Alice said suddenly.
Her eyes became distant for a moment then came back to its sparkle. She jumped up and down excitedly.
"Okay, before you ask, Bella I need you to wrap your shield around the four of us." I nodded and do what she says.
"All done." I confirmed.
"Now, we need a lot of cans of air freshener and your cell phone." we looked at her curiously as she grabbed my phone. Before she dialed a number, she smiled evilly.
"We need back up."
