BPOV
I realised going back to Wal-Mart wasn't such a good idea. I mean I was surprised we hadn't been kicked out by now so it wouldn't be long. Nut seen as we were already we might as well enjoy ourselves. This of course was Edward's idea. I was sort of surprised. I was starting to see a new side to him this weekend. But who was I to complain?
All of us were sat in the café once again – yes, the rest of them had followed us – and I was eating my breakfast. Even though it was like, eleven o'clock now so I guess it's kinda like a brunch. We were all discussing ideas of what to do when for the second time that morning. I thought it would be Mike but to my surprise it was Charlie.
"Hi Dad! Are you all right?" I wondered why he was calling. He usually didn't call without a reason.
"Hi Bells. Okay I'm going to tell you something but don't be worried it's all under control." My imagination was firing in all cylinders. What could have happened? I was starting to get worried just thinking about it.
"What is it Dad? What's happened?" I almost shouted at him.
"That stalker of yours called me again just a few minutes ago." Was that it? I thought it was something serious like we only had three hours left to live or something (my imagination actually thought of that)! "He told me that you and Edward were getting married and that you were keeping your baby. I'm coming home now so I'll put that restraining order on him."
"Oh no Dad, don't come all the way back just for that. Stay a few more hours and go fishing again. Don't worry about Mike, I can handle him."
"Bella, I'm coming back anyway so I might as well get this creep to stay away from you. I guess I'll see you when I get back from the station." I was going to protest some more but then I realised I could get Mike away from me for what a month? Or at least until tomorrow when we went to school again. So I said my good byes and finished my food.
"What are we doing then? What have we decided on?" I missed out on all of the brainstorming. Never mind.
"We've all decided to have a piggy back race." Jasper said at last. Well that didn't sound too hard.
"Fine but bagsy I'm not carrying Emmett!" I said. In fact I don't think I could carry any one of these vampires. Maybe if I asked really nicely someone would carry me.
"There's a catch my dear. We have to find some children and convince their parents to let us borrow their kids. Then we have to race with them on our backs and whoever wins gets to chose what we do next." Edward grinned. His eyes were alight with excitement.
"Fine then where do we meet?" I asked. So we agreed on a time and place. We only had fifteen minutes to find someone and meet for the race on the car park. I didn't think it would be so difficult. I was wrong.
I went out looking for younger children, as they would be lighter to carry. I asked three separate lots of parents but they all said no. Doesn't anyone know what fun was around here? As I was walking round I saw Alice and Edward. They hadn't found anyone yet either. So another five minutes passed and I still couldn't find anyone. I saw Emmett actually trying to steal someone's child. Then he got hit with the handbag. Emmett always seemed to bring this reaction out of people. First with Gladys and now with this random stranger. What are the chances?
Time was wearing thin and I still hadn't found anyone. I was now running around Wal-Mart looking for someone, anyone who was willing to do this now. I even asked a few people who worked there but they just looked at me as if I had three heads. I was walking to the front doors to admit defeat when Edward came running up behind me, human speed of course!
"Bella, have you found anyone?" I just shook my head and looked dejectedly at the floor. "Great! Neither have I. Would you do me a huge favour and let me carry you?" How could I refuse?
"I'd love to. Thanks for asking me Edward!" I kissed him on the lips briefly before grabbing his hand and pulling him outside.
We found the others waiting for us there but their choice of partners was not what I expected. I saw Alice and Jasper had no problem finding some children. However the little boy Jasper had chosen looked quite scary. He kept kicking Jasper on his leg. I could tell he was trying to ignore him but he looked pretty hacked off. I thought he would have used his powers so that he would feel really sleepy or suddenly have the urge to behave well or something. He kicked him again. Clearly not.
Alice was sat on the floor with this adorable little girl who can't have been more than four years old. She was dressed as a fairy and was dancing around Alice who looked all too happy to play along.
Rosalie's partner was a guy who worked there. I think it was the same one she asked for 'advice' before. He looked kind of nerdy and had greasy hair and spots. Rosalie looked absolutely disgusted but her partner looked rather enthralled to be there. He kept leering suggestively at her. Ew, guys are horrible! Well, except from Edward of course.
Emmett's partner was what looked like an old man. They were chatting about something animatedly about something. They seemed to be deep in conversation and they were getting more and more excited. But they saw us and waved us over. Just as we started walking Rosalie called the competition to a start.
"Right everyone! I think it's time to start now! Hey Edward where's your partner?" Rose looked suspicious.
"Bella's my partner." He replied, "Where's the starting line?" I couldn't help but laugh at Rosalie's face. She looked like she was about to explode. Then she glared at me and I abruptly stopped and looked away for my own safety.
Emmett and Jasper marked the start and finish line as the rest of us lined up to start. We had gathered quite a crowd now. Parents, partners and just plain old strangers turned up to see what was happening. We found ourselves a marksman and were ready to go.
"On your marks," Edward hoisted me onto his back, "Get set," He crouched down to get a better start, "GO!" And we were off. Everyone was running slowly, or at least it felt that way. The last time I was on Edwards back we were running at the speed of light through the woods near his house. And if I remember correctly it was running away from Alice, she wanted to dress me up again.
I looked around at the competition. No one was winning at the moment but someone would drop back soon. Jasper was first. "Faster, faster! Go FASTER!" The little boy shouted whilst tugging at Jasper's hair. "FASTER!"
"I can't go faster you stupid twit! And stop pulling my hair!" He stopped altogether in protest and set the boy on the ground. "Now we're not going to win at all! I hope you're happy."
I looked to my left to see Rosalie and her 'partner'. He was holding on tightly to her, a little to tightly if you ask me. "What's that poking me in my back? Is it you're walkie- talkie or something?" Rosalie sounded a bit miffed. I could tell she just wanted the race to finish already so she could get that idiot of her back. Then something seemed to click in her head. "Oh you dirty little git!" She dropped him so he fell flat on his ass! "That's disgusting and if you ever come near me again I promise that I will make your life a living hell! For the record my husband is sooo much bigger, if you catch my drift." I sniggered into Edwards back. The employee was rolling around on the floor cursing. That just goes to show that no one messes with Rose!
There was only about twenty metres left to go. It was out of Alice, Emmett and ourselves. The man on Emmett's back seemed to be having the time of his life, despite being rather too old for riding on people's backs. A wide smile was spread across his wrinkled face. I smiled and waved at him, but before I realised letting go was a bad idea it was too late. I was falling towards the floor again for the umpteenth time this weekend. I gasped, bracing myself for the crash. Then I felt Edwards hands round my waist. I was so grateful that my boyfriend had super fast reactions or I'm pretty sure I would be smushed into some pavement somewhere.
"Bella? Are you all right?" Edwards's voice was worried. He lowered me gently to the floor and sat next to me, waiting for an answer.
"I'm fine. Thanks for saving me." I mumbled, pushing the hair behind me ears. He chuckled and shuffled closer to me. I felt his breath on my cheek. It was cold and it made me blush just thinking about how close he was.
"Next time, don't let go okay?" He asked me playfully as he pulled me to my feet. I nodded, turning around just in time to see Emmett and the old man twirling around in circles. I guessed by the commotion that the race was over and Emmett was the winner. Oh crap! Emmett got to choose what we were top do next. Well, this would defiantly be interesting!
Another chapter! Woooo :) Hope you like it. Thanks for all the reviews, keep them coming. My 200th reviewer was EdwardCullenMasenforever! Thank you soo much and my gift to you is a clone of Edward Cullen himself! You can't have the original as he is currently sat in the middle of my bed looking very, very lonely. I think I may need to go and keep him company... No, gotta finish this first. Okay so does anyone know what will Emmett do next? This is Emmett so anything could happen. Update soon. Now I really must be going, he's getting really lonely. XX
