A/N- Ok, so I know I said that this chapter was going to have Rosalie's prank as well the "big" conversation Bella and Edward. But I decided to have this chapter bemostly Bella and Edward and a smidge of Cecile! So fluff may ensue! YAY! I feel giddy at just the thought.
Bella PoV
I'm trying to wait patiently in the kitchen for Edward toto come backbut I just can't seem to sit still. I hadn't really had a chance to sit down and talk to him since yesterday and there was so much to talk about! I just couldn't believe Edward had finally agreed to make me like him. I just hoped now that he wouldn't change his mind from now 'till the end of the school year. I shook that thought out of my head Edward would never do that to me.
I got up from the chair I was sitting on to go look out the window, except as I was getting up my foot got twisted in the strap of my bookbag at my feet and Itumbled to the ground somehow managing to bring the kitchen chair with me. I landed on my back, when I tried to get up, I realized that my legs were all twisted in my backpack as well as the chair. All I could do is just lay there on the cold kitchen linoleum floor, I figured if I tried to untangle myself I would probably end up inflicting an injury upon myself. So, I closed my eyes and waited, ever knowing that when Edward returned and found me like this that he was going to break into hysterics.
After about a couple ofminutes had gone by, I suddenly heard the sound of muffled laughter. I opened my eyes to see Edward's golden ones inches from my own and a huge grin stuck on his face. His lips were tight together, probably trying to hold in the hysterics.
"You know this really isn't that funny Edward Cullen" I remarked snidely using his full name.
His grin just grew more pronounced. "You know, you better be careful if it gets windy your face might get stuck like that" I said rather rudely. Knowing that it wouldn't really matter what facial expression Edward had on, he'd always be gorgeous. Edward let out a roaring laugh and sat back on his heels beside me.
I waited patiently until he was finished, throwing him what I hoped to be a menacing glare every 20 seconds. Eventually he stopped laughing and yanked me out of the clutches of the kitchen chair and my backpack and threw me over his shoulder and ran out of the kitchen, up the stairs and into my bedroom.
He sat down on my bed still holding me, and straightened me on to his lap. I turned around so that I was facing him and wrapped my hands around his neck and laid my head down on his shoulder. I could feel his elegant fingers gently stroking my hair.
"So, I made a decision" I whispered right out of the blue. I could tell he was a little shocked when he stopped stroking my hair and instantly pulled me into a sitting position on top of him so he could meet my eyes.
"Are you sure? Because I don't want to rush you. You can take as long as you like to think this one over" I smiled, he seemed so worried about what my verdict would be.
"Who do you think I chose?" I asked slyly.
"Well... I don't know" he confessed looking down, "who did you?" he asked looking up at me through his eyelashes making my breath catch.
I gave him my best smile, "you, silly!" I said as though it should have been quite obvious from the start that I would choose him. Even though it would be nice to have Rosalie's beauty or Jasper's powers of persuasion, I just couldn't imagine it being anyone other than Edward.
His topaz eyes lighted up and he pulled me into a tight embrace. I pulled away slightly and tilted my head up looking for a kiss. He bent his head down and met my lips halfway. As soon as our lips touched I felt a firecracker go off somewhere inside of me. He must of felt one too, because in 2 seconds flat he had rolled on top of me.I was mildly shocked he hadn't pulled away, but we just kept kissing each otheruntilI forgot to breathe.Edward pulled back a huge grin on his face. I blushed and quickly untangled my hands from his hair.
Edward rolled off of me and curled up behind me wrapping his arms around my waist and nuzzling his face into my neck. We stayed like that for some time. Until Edward sighed "Charlie's home" he mumbled into my neck.
"I should probablygo downstairs and say hi" I said trying to remove myself from Edward's stone grasp. At first he just ignored my struggles and hugged me tighter to himself but eventually he let me out of his arms.
"I'll be right back" I promised grinning at him.
"You'd better be" he growled playfully.
I laughed, feeling like the luckiest girl in the world to have someone as wonderful as Edward in my life as I walked down the stairs toward the kitchen.
"Hi dad" I said cheerfully.
"Hey Bells, where's Audrey and Cecile?" he asked looking around as if he were hoping they'd just pop up out of thin air.
"Well they moved in with the Cullens" I blurted, being totally unsmooth.
"Why?" Charlie asked looking slightly confused.
"Well, it turns out Rosalie and Jasper are Cecile's cousins and Audrey's niece and nephew, so they wanted to spend more time with their family" I lied, mentally kicking myself. That was such an awful lie but Charlie appeared to have swallowed it. I didn't even want to think of what Rosalie would say when she found out that I'd said she was related to Cecile.
"That's fine I guess. What's for dinner?" he asked me suddenly. I was grateful that his hunger replaced any doubts he had of my story.
" Um, well I don't know. I'm not really hungry tonight, so do you think you'll be alright on your own?" I asked.
"You know Bella, I fed myself just fine before you came. I'm perfectly capable of fixing supper" he said a little defensively.
Ismiled and left the kitchen. As I was leaving I saw Charlie get out the package of bacon and a carton of eggs, the only thing he knew how to make. For an instant I felt sort of guilty and actually considered going back and fixing him a proper dinner. But then I remembered the beautiful angel waiting for me upstairs and I all my thoughts of guilt instantly drifted away.
Cecile PoV (a/n don't worry there will be more Edward/Bella in a couple of paragraphs)
As soon as we had arrived at the Cullen's residence Audrey had exchanged pleasantries with the entire family except for Rosalie and Alice who had ran past us as we'd come in,giggling and talking about supplies. Supplies for what, I haven't the dizziest idea.
After Audrey had met everyone and everyone had met Audrey,Jasper had shown us to where we would be staying for the next two months.
Our rooms were quite close together, they were both elegantly decorated. In Audrey's room the walls were painted a light sage green, and there was a gorgeous cream coloured sofa. In mine the walls were a soft periwinkle blue and there was a mauve couch in the corner.
Audreyseemed to fit in so well with this family where as I felt invisible. This wasn't a new feeling. All my life even when I was a human I always felt like I blendedinwith the scenery. That was before Emmett came along. He was the only one that really saw me. Not anymore though, now I was invisible to everyone including Emmett.
Bella PoV
"What time is it?" I asked groggily.
"1:07 am" Edward replied rubbing my back.
"Are you excited?" I asked.
"For what?" his expression puzzled.
"For me to be like you!" I whispered excitedly.
"You have no idea" he said smiling. He bent down and playfully kissed my ear. I shivered, he was just so perfect. I couldn't waitto be with him forever.
"So what do you think of Cecile?" he asked changing the subject.
"Well, to be perfectly honest I think she's really nice. Before I found out she was Emmett's ex I was actually going to be her friend."
"Why can't you be her friend now?" he questioned, eyebrows arched in curiosity.
"Well can't you imagine what Rosalie would say if I befriended her? I mean I only just got her to accept me. And now that I'm going to be like you that means Rosalie and I will be seeing a lot more of each other. There's no way I want her to hate me for all eternity." I explained to him.
" Bella don't worry about Rosalie. She'll be fine, there's absolutely no way Emmett would ever even consider Cecile he loves Rose too much for that. But I bet Cecile feels pretty awful right now and could probably use a friend." he said assuringly.
"Ok then, maybe tomorrow Cecile and I will have a girls day" I suggested.
"Ok but maybe Alice or Esme could go with you. I don't know if I trust her completely." his tone was concerned.
"Edward, I'll be fine." I said my own tone exasperated.
"We'll talk about it in the morning" he said in a way that suggested he had no intentions of giving up.
I nodded too tired to continue the discussion and rested my head on his shoulder and drifted back to sleep.
