Bella's POV
The past two weeks have flown by. We went back to school this week and I can already begin to feel the stress levels raise as exams loom over us. However everything between Edward and I has been perfect since New Year's. And this weekend was going to be incredible as we were going to the play off's! Rose and I had been talking none stop about the game all week. Alice of course drifted in and out of the conversation still not fully understanding what we were going on about. Poor Jasper had tried various ways to try and explain the rules to Alice but it wasn't all sinking in.
"Bella!" Charlie yelled from downstairs.
I got up off of the floor and rushed down the stairs. I found Charlie standing in the kitchen looking in the freezer.
"What is it? I've still got packing to do." I asked slightly out of breath from running down the stairs.
"What are these?" Charlie lifted two large plastic containers out of the freezer.
"Dad I'm going to be gone for practically two days and we both know what you are like when left to cook for yourself. So I pre cooked you meals, all you have to do is plate them up and put them in the microwave for a couple of minutes."
"Bella, I'm not a child I can cook for myself." He grumbled.
"Dad what happened the last time you cooked?" I asked him placing my hands on my hips and raising my eyebrows.
"Bells that was an accident..."
"What did you do dad..?"
"I burnt the chicken." Charlie said understating what really happened.
"Burnt it? Dad you cremated the thing, I came downstairs to find smoke pouring out of the oven!" I snickered.
"Fine, I'm a bad cook."
"You're welcome by the way" I chuckled as I made my way back upstairs.
It took me another half an hour to finally have all of my clothes packed. And as a secret surprise for Edward tonight after the game I packed the vintage Chicago Bears Jersey.
On the table my phone began to ring.
"Hello" I answered resting the phone between my ear and shoulder so I could pull on my boots.
"Bella!" Rose yelled loudly, causing me to drop my phone on the floor.
"Rose! Why did you do that for?"
"Sorry Bella, I didn't mean to startle you... Well I did." She snickered.
"Where are you?"
"We are all five minutes away, so be ready." Rose stated before hanging up on me.
"Bitch..." I chuckled as I slid my phone into my back pocket.
I walked out onto the landing and shouted down the stairs to Charlie.
"Dad! Can you come and carry my suitcase down the stairs?"
I heard a grumble then shuffling of feet. I smiled sweetly at him as he climbed the stairs.
"Isn't this why you have a boyfriend? So he can carry your bags?"
"Well dad as you can see Edward isn't here so it's your job."
I picked up my leather jacket as I followed Charlie down the stairs; he dropped the case by the front door. I spotted Emmett's huge Jeep pull up on the driveway.
"Well dad my ride is here." I laughed.
"Well you kids be safe and don't do anything stupid."
"Would we ever?" I asked in an innocent voice.
"Yes."
Charlie and I shared an awkward hug before I rolled my suitcase out of the front door. Edward was walking up the drive way towards me and took the bag from my hands. He pulled me in for a hug and kissed my forehead as he knew Charlie was watching us.
I looked up and saw Rose hanging outside of the large passenger side window.
"Hey Bella, excited?"
"So excited! I have a good feeling Sea hawks are going to do it this year."
"Damn right they are!" She replied high fiving me.
"Come on then my lady, let me help you in." Edward chuckled as he helped me step up into Emmett's huge Jeep.
Once inside the Jeep I saw Alice and Jasper cuddled into the corner.
"Hey guys."
"Hey Bella, sorry about this but we drew the short straws for the back seats." Alice laughed looking at the four of us across the back seat.
"Hey I'm not complaining I've got a good pillow" I chuckled patting Edwards's chest.
"So that's why you date me, to use me as your travel cushion?"
I looked up at Edward who was smiling broadly.
"Yes! You finally get it!" I laughed pumping my fist in the air.
I giggled as Edward wrapped his arms around me tightly and nuzzled my neck playfully.
"You're going to pay for that" he growled.
"Hey, hey! You two cut that out. Save it for the hotel room." Emmett shouted glaring at us through the mirror.
Rose leant over and flicked Emmett in the ear for embarrassing us. I quickly thanked her before settling back into Edwards arms. The trip was fairly comfortable. Alice and I snuggled into Edward and Jasper's laps and chatted about school and shared the latest gossip. Then we spoke about the match and what we all thought the outcome would be. Half way through the journey we took a break to stretch our legs and grab some food. Then Edward took over driving the Jeep and I took my turn in the front seat. Looking back and seeing Rose and Emmett squishing together in the seat Edward and I had just vacated was hilarious. I know could see why Emmett always drives, it looked like someone had tried to squish the incredible hulk into a Mini.
"Twenty minutes left everybody and we will be at the hotel." Edward announced glancing at the sat nav then to his watch.
"Well put your foot down bro my legs are killing back here." Jasper said. Looking back at him through the rear view mirror I felt a little sorry for Jasper as he has had Alice sat on his lap for nearly three hours and he didn't get a turn in the front seat like the rest of us.
"Sure thing." Edward replied cranking up the speed. He then reached for my hand and I laced my fingers through his, he then lifted our joined hands and kissed the back.
We both smiled at each other before relaxing back into the last leg of the drive. I stared out of the window at the city and gently rubbed my thumb back and forth over the back of Edwards's hand. I couldn't wait for us to be all alone tonight. Poor Charlie still thinks Alice, Rose and I are sharing a room. It's probably for the best as if he had known Edward and I would be sharing a room he wouldn't have let me come on this trip at all.
...
"This is so exciting!" Alice squealed as Jasper pushed her down the brightly lit hotel corridor on top of her suitcase.
"I know, I still can't believe we are going to the play offs!" Rose added grabbing my hand as we both squealed with excitement.
"Who knew girls got so excited over sport" Emmett laughed nudging Edward who was wheeling our bags behind us.
"Hey! That is so sexist"
"What! I have never met girls who were so into sport before" Emmett said trying to climb out of the hole he had dug for himself.
"Well take a good look" Rose stated pulling us to a halt before raising her arms high in the air and giving a little spin.
"I think it's really hot that you get into your sport." Edward whispered in my ear as he walked past us towards our hotel room door.
I blushed slightly before I made my way quickly to where he was stood, pulling out our key card for the room.
"What time are we heading to the stadium?" Jasper asked as her opened up his and Alice's door.
"Game is at six and it is one O'clock now, so shall we say meet in the lobby at half two?" Edward replied looking at his watch.
"Sure, then we still have time to grab something to eat and drink before kickoff." Rose finished pushing Emmett not so lightly into their room.
"See you guys soon" Alice said in a sing song voice before vanishing behind the door.
Walking into our room I let out a little gasp, it was huge! At the far end of the room was huge glass windows that looked over the city and I could even see the stadium in the distance. In the centre of the room was a huge queen sized bed with bright white sheets, I will not be leaving that early in the morning!
Edward put our cases in the wardrobe so they were out of the way and hung up our coats. I went and sat on the bed and began pulling off my boots. Once they were off I lay back on the bed and closed my eyes.
"Gosh I love hotels!" I laughed.
"Me too" I heard Edward reply before I felt him dive on top of me.
I opened my eyes and began to giggle as he tickled my sides playfully.
"No, don't you dare." I warned him, giving him my best playful glare.
Giving in he gave me a quick pout before I pulled him in for a kiss. It didn't take long for our clothes to make their way onto the cream carpet, and for Edward to slip us under the crisp white bed sheets which were soft under my hands. I lay on my back with Edward settling himself between my legs; he rested his forearms beside my head and leant down to place gentle kisses across my neck and shoulders. I couldn't suppress my emotions and let my left hand thread itself within Edwards's tousled hair whilst my right hand slid down his muscled back and rested on the bottom of his spine.
"My beautiful Bella" Edward whispered as he began to line himself up with my entrance. As he began to thrust into me I lifted my hips to meet him, we both let out loud moans of sheer pleasure. As Edward began to pick up the pace he hooked his left arm under my right leg, which allowed him to go even deeper and he began hitting a spot inside me which caused my body to take over, my mind went into its own wonderland.
"Oh Edward" I whispered kissing his neck and nipping at his ear where he was sensitive.
"I'm so close"
I could feel the bottom of my stomach tighten with the familiar feeling of coming towards the edge. I met Edward thrust for thrust before he erupted with a loud growl shouting my name as he came, his commanding voice tipped me over the edge and before we knew it we were a mass of tangled bodies that were consumed with deep breaths.
I released the strong hold I had of Edwards's hair with a chuckle.
"Sorry" I said sheepishly smoothing his very wild sex hair.
He lifted his head from my neck and stared into my eyes. His emerald green eyes danced and sparkled; he wore his crooked grin then kissed the tip of my nose.
"Don't worry about it, I liked it." He laughed back.
"You liked it?" I asked.
He nodded confidently.
"Why? I'm pretty sure I nearly pulled it from the roots."
"What can I say everything you do turns me on."
I looked at him then burst into hysterics, the un phased look on his face just made me laugh even harder.
"Are you going to release my leg?" I smiled still noticing it was in an odd angle over his arm.
"Nope" Edward replied before placing a kiss on the inside of my thigh.
"Edward, don't start me up again or we are never going to leave this hotel room."
"Is that such a bad thing?"
"No, but... I really don't want to miss the game."
Edward released my leg then I stretched it out in the air trying to get the blood flowing once more.
"You're so beautiful" Edward murmured placing a chaste kiss on my lips.
"Shut up" I laughed pushing him off of me then standing up and heading into the bathroom. Edward was hot on my heels making it through the door before I shut it.
"Edward! We have forty minutes before we have to be downstairs, if you shower with me we will not make that time."
"I promise I won't have sex with you in the shower...today" He replied holding out his little finger.
"Pinkie promise?"
"Pinkie promise"
It is safe to say Edward did not keep his promise. We were both now running down the corridor ten minutes late.
"This is your entire fault!" I shouted at him as we made it to the stair well.
"I can't help it if you can't keep your hands off of me." Was his ingenious reply.
"Me! You want to try looking in the mirror. I'm pretty sure you started it!"
"Okay maybe I did."
"Maybe! You Did!"
We burst through the doors into the hotel lobby trying to catch our breaths; I spotted Rose, Alice, Emmett and Jasper all standing by the entrance. Emmett looked up and grinned at us.
"FINALLY! I thought you two were never going to leave the hotel bed!" Emmett shouted out loud.
I glared at him and hissed at him to shut up, my face blushing red. Rose helped me out by smacking him up the back of the head.
"Right let's go" Jasper said pulling Alice out of the door.
We all left the hotel and made our way to the Jeep. Emmett and Rose settling in the front while Edward, myself, Alice and Jasper sat in the back. As Emmett drove to the stadium Rose and I discussed the team line ups and how we thought the game would pan out. I couldn't contain myself as we pulled onto the gigantic car park of the Seahawks Stadium. The moment Emmett stopped the Jeep I flung myself out of the car. Fans were walking around and the atmosphere was brilliant.
"Bella! Don't run off, we'll lose you" Edward shouted at me like was a child.
I turned around and pouted stubbornly walking back to the group who were now huddled around the back of the car. I reached Edward and he tucked me under his left arm encasing me with his right. I tilted my head back and he dipped down to give me a chaste kiss.
"I wish you were this excited when we go shopping" Alice muttered at my outburst out of the car.
"Sorry Alice but this is far more exciting then shopping."
"What did you say? Take that back Bella!"
"No" I laughed at her shocked expression.
"I have to agree with Bella on this one. This game is already even more exciting than shopping and it hasn't even kicked off yet" Raised said clutching Emmett's hand.
"I can't believe you two would pick football over shopping."
"Sorry Alice. But put a smile on your face, we are going to get our faces painted." I grinned at her, and she couldn't stop the happy glint that washed over her eyes at the words face paint.
At those words she grasped onto both Rose and my arm and started dragging us across the car park. We heard the guys shout at us to slow down but Alice was oblivious. As soon as Edward caught up to me he took a hold of my hand and tucked me under his shoulder. I looked up at him and he kissed me swiftly. We made our way over to the face painting stand and Alice, Rose and I all had matching sea hawks badges painted onto our cheeks. Once they were done Alice insisted on us having a photo to document every part of our day. It took quite the effort to squeeze all six of us into a tiny mobile photograph, but we managed it with the help of Emmett's long arms.
For the next two hours we scoured every inch of the outside of the ground, picking up merchandise, food, taking photos with the cheerleaders which the guys tried not to enjoy too much. And having photos with the mascots. The atmosphere was fantastic the fans were all hyped up for the game and the majority appeared to be sea hawks fans which also boosted my confidence that we were going to win the game.
As we made our way into the stadium we allowed Emmett to take the lead in finding our way to our seats. Surprisingly the one thing Emmett excelled at was making his way around a sports ground. Plus due to his height he was hard to miss when making your way through a big crowd. As we made it to our seats I sat down between Rose and Edward. I snuggled into Edward's embrace as a cool wind whipped around the stadium.
"Are you warm enough?" He asked sweetly nuzzling the tip of my nose which was cold.
"Yeah, I've got you to snuggle into."
"Damn right you have" tightly wrapping his arms around me.
"Look Bella! It's Luke Wilson!" Rose squealed grabbing my arm between her vice like hands.
"Where?" I asked sitting up and leaning in towards Rose as we both looked at the pitch.
"There, by the forty yard line."
Luke Wilson was one of mine and Rose's favourite players. And it did help that he was insanely good looking too. His face came up on the big screen when they began announcing the team sheet, we screeched when we saw him which made Edward and Emmett grumble and mutter to themselves.
"I bet I could take him on in a one to one match." Emmett said.
"Of course you could baby." Rose cooed before looking at me and mouthing "No". I giggled and turned back to Edward who was frowning. I grasped his chin between my thumb and forefinger.
"Are you jealous baby?"
"Of him? Yeah right" he scoffed childishly.
"Are you sure?" I asked, trying not to laugh at his immaturity.
He pouted and looked at the field. I lifted his left arm and wrapped it around me as I draped my legs over his left thigh. His right hand gripped my legs and I kissed his jaw line and chuckled at him. I stayed like this until the teams were about to emerge onto the field to start the game. There was a vast sea of blue and green across the stadium as sea hawks flags moved wildly.
First the Green Bay Packers team was announced and the fans shouted and cheered as their favourite players were announced. Rose and I discussed the chance Green Bay had against us with the team they selected and we had to admit they had a strong group of players. But we were confident the team hadn't looked this good in quite a few seasons.
Next the Sea Hawks team ran out onto the field as the announcer called out the players, Rose, Alice and I all jumped out of our seats cheering with all the other forty thousand Sea hawks fans.
"Wooohhooo" I shouted waving my complementary flag in the air. I glanced at Edward who had a bemused expression on his face but he just stood up and held onto my waist making sure I didn't fall into the row in front from my immeasurable exuberance.
"Come on boys! Let's win this!" Rose shouted clapping her hands.
"I love football!" Alice screeched, Rose and I looked at her and giggled at her sportsmanship.
Sitting back in our seats we prepared for kick off, Rose was gripping my hand so tightly I began to get pins and needles but I didn't let her go because I was feeling just as nervous as she was.
Green bay kicked off, the ball reaching our ten yard line. We recovered the ball and took off making it to our forty yard line...
Seven minutes to the end of the first quarter Green bay had the ball for a play. They took the spike and the quarter back took it taking three steps back preparing to throw the ball down field. As the ball left his hands I took a huge breath and held it in watching the ball sail through the air, I spotted the player he was aiming for but we had him covered, just as the Green bay player jumped for the ball our wide receiver reached in front of him and intercepted the play.
"Run!" Rose and I screamed jumping up from our seats along with other sea hawks fans in our stand. The player made it past the half way line and began weaving his way through the Packer's defence line.
"Cover him!" Edward yelled standing up next to me gripping my right hand in his.
By the time the sea hawks made it to the ten yard line the six of us were all on our feet jumping up and down urging the player forward.
"TOUCHDOWN!" We all screamed and laughed together. The stadium erupted as the Seahawks celebrated their points.
For the rest of the first and second quarter, the six of us were in and out of our seats screaming at the referee for bad decisions. Even Alice surprised us and the whole of the crowd when she flipped the referee the bird for throwing a flag for a bad holding decision. By Half time, Rose, Alice and I went to get drinks needing a break from the tiny seats to stretch our legs. I think this could possibly one of the best days I have ever had spent with my two best friends.
"This is the best day ever" Alice said while stuffing a hot dog in her mouth.
"I'm with you on that one" Rose replied.
"We should go away again soon just the six of us."
"Where should we go next?"
"We could go camping? Find a nice camp site and go hiking?" I suggested taking a drink of cola.
"Walking?" Alice asked raising her eyebrows.
"Yes walking, I know I can be clumsy but the walk I took with Edward a few months ago was excellent and I never fell once with his help."
"Sure I'm up for a walking holiday, sounds like fun."
Once we made our way back to our seats we sat and chatted for ten minutes before play resumed. The score line was 21- 18 to the Sea hawks, it was an extremely close match but I felt we were playing the better football and we had a solid chance of winning.
By the time we made it to the fourth quarter the score line was unchanged and the atmosphere in the stadium was tense. I could feel my heart rate increasing and rattling inside my chest. I had already begun sweating as was Rose who had tied her hair back and her right knee had begun bouncing uncontrollably. I clasped her hands in mine as we leant forward in our seats focusing on the game and not was going on around us. I could have sworn Edward had tried to pull me out of my focused state but he was failing miserably. My eyes kept flickering to the game clock it was nine minutes until the final whistle. I could picture Charlie right now sitting in his arm chair biting his nails.
We were about to set up a play at the forty yard line when I looked at Rosalie, she had her head down and was whispering to herself.
"Rose? What are you doing?"
"Praying" was her short reply.
I turned back to the game and saw the Packer's had decided to take a time out, joining Rose I said a little prayer while I had the time. I wasn't a religious person but when it came to football I would do anything for our team to win. Gripping the badge as I said my prayer. Once I finished I looked at Edward who was looking at me with a smirk.
"Don't say a word; I've seen you do worse when you play football". Edward would never admit it but he was terribly suspicious when it came to match day.
"We are going to score a touchdown in this play" Rose said confidently sitting up straight still holding onto my hand. I nodded to her and watched as the team set up.
And as if our prayers were answered Seahawks scored the touchdown! Once again jumping from our seats as the quarter back threw the ball and hit his marker at the back of the touchdown zone. The score line remained the same until the final whistle when the atmosphere inside the huge stadium erupted and the celebrations began. When the whistle rung out I jumped up and hugged Rosalie tightly and then we both screamed...
"WE'RE IN THE SUPER BOWL!"
Letting go of Rose I turned to Edward who was smiling with glee, I wonder why he was so pleased for my team to be in the finals. I jumped into his arms and kissed him passionately all my happiness being poured out into him.
"I'm so happy right now!" I laughed gleefully.
"Well you being happy makes me happy." He replied.
"Ahhh now I know why you look so pleased with yourself."
"What?" He asked innocently.
"Due to my insanely good mood, you know you are going to get lucky tonight." I giggled.
"Yes!" He cheered throwing his hands in the air.
"I love you!" I laughed as he wrapped his huge arms around my small body.
"As I love you" he replied leaning in for another kiss.
