Author's Chapter Notes:
Sorry there wasn't a chapter yesterday. I was gone all weekend and when I got home I was so tired I forgot :(
"Bumblebee? Uh, my name's Alice."
"Yeah, but Alice is an old ladies name. You're more of a Bumblebee."
I put my hands on my hips. "How am I like a bee?"
He chuckled. "There you go again. Buzzing about something, flitting around, stinger out, just ready for a fight." I looked up at him, outraged by his audacity to say such a thing. "And, you're tiny like a little bee too."
"I might be tiny, but I can do anything you can...in fact, I can do it better!"
He laughed. "You sure are feisty. But I don't think there is anything you can do better than me."
"Wanna bet?" I retorted, hands on my hips. We were both smiling now. I wasn't sure if I wanted to punch him or kiss him.
"Yes, I'd bet you that in any contest you pick, other than shopping, or buzzing around like a little bee, I'll beat you."
"What are we betting?" I asked, trying to think of what we could compete in.
"Well, when I win, you will have to wear a bumblebee costume for twenty-four hours straight."
I laughed out loud. "Deal. And if I win…" I paused to think of something.
"Which you are not, but just for fun, what is it you'd want?"
I looked around the room and saw the rack of dresses Tanya was looking at for the Oscars. "When I win, I want a ticket to the Oscars."
His eyes widened but he nodded. "Deal."
I held out my hand so we could shake on it. It wasn't winter, but the strangest thing happened when he took my hand. It was like an electrical charge jumped from his hand to mine, or the other way around. He felt it too because he looked down.
"Well, at least you two aren't yelling," Edward said coming down the stairs and over toward us. "Bella asked if you'd go upstairs. She's with Charlie. Take a left at the top of the stairs. His room is the second door on the left.
I nodded. It didn't sound complicated. "Thanks, and I'll get back to you with the contest,' I said making Jasper smile.
