I stared at my family as their jaws hung open at my announcement. I waited for them to say something and Edward squeezed my hand reassuringly and I smiled up at him. Finally Ben spoke.
"Are you quite sure?" he asked in shock.
"Absolutely, I don't doubt it for one second." I replied fully confident.
"This is wonderful!" Jacquelyn cried her eyes beaming with happiness.
"He's HOT!" Mike gushed, Jake nodded in agreement.
"Oh my god Mike," I said, embarrassed.
"What, he's gorgeous and I was just pointing it out." he defended himself, pouting with his pale lower lip jutting out making him look like a child denied a sweet.
"Well, dear we are so glad you finally found him," Jacquelyn said, "but your father and I are due in New York soon for the opening of an orphanage." she finished grabbing Ben by his forearm.
"Ok, oh wait, I met some really cool people at school today and I invited them over, is that alright?" I asked quickly.
"Of course dear, you know we always want you to be happy." Ben answered.
"Thanks, you might want to get going or you'll be late." I told them.
"Oh Izzy darling, our flight was cancelled so we were wondering if you could teleport us to New York, you know to the hotel." Jacquelyn begged, her eyes shining.
"Hmm, let's see, well I'd have to think about it." I contemplated, tapping my index finger against my chin and my elbow resting in my palm. They waited patiently knowing I would say yes.
"Go get your bags." I said finally. They beamed and disappeared upstairs.
Ben and Jacquelyn came back down, each with a large suitcase a small handbag which no doubt held some sort of entertainment.
I closed my eyes and concentrated on sending them to the same suite we had stayed in when Jacquelyn was in a photo shoot in Manhattan. We always stayed in the same room in the same hotel so I knew exactly where to send them.
When I opened my eyes they were gone and only Mike, Jacob, and Edward were left, each staring at his partner.
Mike and Jacob got up off the couch, said goodbye to Edward and I, and then walked up the stairs to their bedroom.
"I guess we should go pick up some human food from the store if we are going to be having guests over." I suggested to Edward after I heard the sound of Jacobs' stereo pump through the air.
"That sounds like a good idea, but maybe we should call Alice or someone first so they know what time to come over." Edward said.
"Good idea." I said waving my first finger in front of his perfect face like a drunk person.
I grabbed my cell out of my pocket and a phonebook and looked up Brandon. I dialed the number quickly and soon Alice's chirpy voice was heard through the speaker.
"Hello, Brandon residence, Alice speaking." she said in her pretty, high voice
"Hey Alice it's Izzy, I was just calling about tonight. I was thinking you all could come over around 7:00- 7:30-ish if that's alright." I said.
"Oh yeah that's cool, I'll call Rose and Angela and relay the info to help you out if you haven't already ." she trilled back.
"Okay that's great and no I did not call them yet. Well I gotta go, stock up for tonight ya know. Oh, do you have anything you want me to get, like a movie or snack?" I asked her remembering my hostess skills.
"No, can't th- oh, yes!" she suddenly cried making Edward look up from a photo album which had previously been perched on a table behind the couch.
"The new Tim Burton film, what was it, aha, Sweeney Todd, me and Rose have been dying to see that." she ranted.
"Okey dokey, see you tonight, bye." I said.
"Bye-bye." she said and hung up. I turned and faced Edward who closed the album with a beautiful smile on his face.
"What?" I asked him, also smiling.
"Nothing, you just looked so cute in your vampire costume." he chuckled, his laugh music to my ears.
"You saw that?" I asked horrified. He walked to me and grabbed my shoulders then kissed my forehead lightly.
"Yes, but I loved it, you looked adorable with your plastic fangs and the 'I really wish I wasn't wearing this right now.' expression." he laughed his velvety again.
I rolled my eyes the all but skipped to the door, with Edward following close behind. I turned the handle and walked outside and waited for Edward to step out of the house. He turned and close the door then walked towards me
"Let's go bra." I said snapping my fingers and walking off to my car.
"Did you just call me bra?" he asked incredulous jogging human pace to catch up with me.
"Sho did, g-money." I replied.
"Okay, homie." he said purring the word in his deep voice.
"Aww yeah, pimp daddy speakin my language." I said drawing out the aw.
He raised his perfect eyebrow but didn't say anything just smiled and shook his head. We reached my car and he opened the passenger door but I ran over to it and stood in his way.
"What are you doing?" he asked.
"Gonna, sit in the car." I said sweetly. His eyes brightened and he smiled.
"Does that mean you are letting me drive your car?" he asked excitedly.
"Sure does." I told him and dropped my keys in his palm. He smiled wider and kissed me sweetly on the cheek and flew over to the other side of the car.
I sat down in the passenger seat and he got in the drivers and started the car. He smiled wickedly and floored the car and sped off down the road.
"So where should we go to get the stuff?" he asked me.
"The Thriftway, no need to go to Port Angeles to get snacks." I said shrugging my shoulders.
"To the Thriftway we shall go then." he concluded and turned back to the road.
"Do you have a power?" I asked him.
"Yeah." he said.
"Well what is it." I prodded.
"I can read and control minds." he told me.
"That's cool." I said.
"I guess, sometimes it's annoying having to listen to the mundane thoughts of human teens and occasionally adults." he shrugged.
"Anything else?" I asked.
"If I really feel like it I can lift things with my mind." he smiled.
"Tightness!" I giggled.
"Tightness?" he asked.
"Human lingo, where do you think I got those weird words from back at the house?" I asked.
"True, I was wondering why you acted so strange back there." he smiled.
"Yeah, oh look we're here!" I squealed and undid my seatbelt. He also undid his belt and we stepped out of my car in all our dark glory.
We walked hand in hand to the entryway and got many differing looks. Some were lustful others hateful, and there was even some disgust.
A couple, wearing similar clothes to what Edward and I were wearing, smiled at us as they went by and didn't look back. There, that wasn't so hard was it, I said mentally to the other patrons of the store.
I grabbed a shopping cart and skipped, dragging Edward with me, to the snack section of the store.
We loaded the cart with all sorts of snack foods we thought the girls might like.
"Here, get these," Edward said tossing me, yet another, bag of candy, "I've heard they're really good."
"Butterfingers?" I asked, "what are they finger-shaped sticks of butter?" I questioned.
"I don't know, but Alice and Rosalie seem to like since Jasper and Emmett give them to them constantly." he replied.
"Hmm." I added them to the cart and headed to the register.
"Oh Edward do you know the number of the pizza place here?" I asked him while loading our items onto the conveyor belt.
"Yeah, why?" he asked probably already knowing the answer.
"I wanted to order pizza for tonight." I answered.
"I thought we had all we needed here?" he inquired.
"Well I don't know how much humans eat and I want to make sure we have enough, I don't want my guests to starve." I muttered.
"Iz, trust me on this, you have more than enough food, but if you really want to you could order the humans pizza." he said.
"Oh I have an idea," I gasped, "we can give some of the stuff that looks icky and give it to the homeless people in the woods."
"Good idea, oh looks like our stuff is done." he said looking ahead at our bags that were sitting innocently on the counter.
"That will be 45.87 ma'am." the cashier dude said.
I grabbed my credit card, swiped it, and entered my password all without messing up. We grabbed the bags and left the store.
