Chapter 38

Jasper must have sensed my unease as I felt a wash of calm come over me. Alice and Edward then came and joined us and I acted as if I hadn't heard anything. Alice decided I needed my make up doing as well as having my nails done and rushed off to get her makeup case. When she was done it was decided another shopping trip was in order. I knew it was pointless to argue as Alice would always win. Callum was going to meet us there and rose was coming along. Actually as shopping trips went this wasn't as bad. Callum made this fun, taking the time to sit and talk with me while Alice and rose whirled around the stores like whirlwinds.

We caught up and what had been happening in our lives, he said that he hadn't been up to much just school and work. I told him that I went on a quick visit to Italy to visit some friends; I couldn't tell him what really happened. I told him how I had spent most of my time with Edward and he had said how lucky I was to have someone who loved me as much he did and I had to agree I was very lucky. Although I might soon lose that if Charlie accepted the job offer and we had to move. I tried not to think about it as it would only upset me. Alice and rose drove home together and callum decided to drive me home, taking the longest route back saying that he missed hanging out with me and that he wasn't ready for this day to end.

I had to show him the turn off for the Cullen's. Rose's car must have already been already in the garage. I was thankful that Edward was not on the porch waiting for us. Callum helped me out of his car and walked me inside, I realised then that other than Alice and rose no what had met callum. Everyone was waiting for us; they were all gathered in the living room. I saw Edward tense as he saw us walk in holding hands. I thought by now he would have understood that we were only friends and that he was the only one for me. Introductions were needed, "everyone this is callum, callum this is Carlisle, esme, Emmett, jasper and the love of my life Edward. You already know rose and Alice" I pointed out everyone as I said their name and Edward smiled when I introduced him as the love of my life.

I saw Emmett elbow jasper, raising his eyebrows at him. I didn't need Edwards's ability to know what he was thinking. He was about to say something before I reminded him of his jeep. Carlisle left as he needed to get to the hospital and esme left to fetch callum a drink; she was always the perfect host. I went and sat with Edward, callum sitting the other side of me. Rose left with Emmett, I didn't really want to think about what they were up to, Alice left to put away her new purchases saying that she would put my things in Edwards closet, when callum looked at me with a questioning look I explained that I practically lived here and that it was like my second home so naturally I kept clothes here.

Jasper was playing a computer game and wanted someone else to play with and callum offered. It looked as if everyone was beginning to like callum as much as I did, well everyone apart from Edward. I decided to show him I was only interested in him, I climbed on his lap, wrapping my hands around his neck pressing my lips to his, he immediately responded his lips moving in sync with mine. His hands resting on the small of my back, his hand sliding under my shirt and up my back, my hands now resting on his chest as his lips moved to my jaw as he slowly kissed along my jaw and down my neck before returning to my lips. I heard someone clear there throat, it was Alice, I broke apart and everyone was looking at us and instead of blushing I just smiled. "Would you two please get a room?"

"Of course Alice, which would like us to use" Edward chuckled sweeping me up into his arms. After that little display callum made his excuses and left telling me he would call or email me tomorrow.

I was spending the weekend here so there was no need for me to rush off home. Emmett and jasper had decided to set up a gaming tournament for the weekend and everyone had to participate. My nails had already been done so there wasn't much else to do. I was to take part in the tournament tomorrow, as I would be going to bed soon. Alice had me upstairs and changed for bed before I fell asleep. She never missed an opportunity to dress me up even if was just for bed. I wasn't downstairs long before I yawned, and Edward carried me to his bed. He lay with me while I slept, I felt his cool arms around me, it felt like home to me.

I woke to him stroking my face gently "morning my love" I took a deep breath in, inhaling his scent and smiled. I climbed out of bed and went to the bathroom to shower, and brush my teeth, when I went back in to Edwards's room as usual Alice already had my clothes on the bed. When I was dressed, I went to the kitchen; Edward was standing there cooking my breakfast. He turned and smiled my favourite crooked smile when I entered. When I was finished eating I went into the living room, it was my turn, Alice, rose and Edward had all been eliminated, I was up against jasper and I knew he was really good. We played for the next few hours until finally I beat him. He wasn't too happy that I had won but he didn't moan about it like I knew Emmett would have done.

I was to play Emmett next and who ever won would be champion. Computer games were not my thing but it would be nice to beat Emmett. Halfway through esme brought me some sandwiches and we took a break, Emmett was more than happy to take a break stating he needed to rethink his strategy anyway. When we did get back to playing, I won, I couldn't believe it, I was never good at anything. Emmett of course was not happy, stomping around like a little child demanding a rematch, rose told him to stop being a sore loser and get over it. When she stared at him he stopped and shut up. Before I knew it, it was time to go home to Charlie, Edward drove me home kissing me gently before I turned and went inside. Charlie was waiting for me, he looked as if he had something to tell me, " hey dad" I said walking in to the living room, " hey bells, guess what, I just got an offer to work in Barcelona, can you believe it?"
