Chapter 7
I groaned and closed my eyes, not thinking about what I was about to do.
After Alice was done dressing me down and taking too many pictures, I stayed in the last outfit I tried on. It was a midnight dark blue nightgown, that only came down to my knees. It had matching underwear, but thank goodness you couldn't see those! I felt the most comfortable in this one, so I just stayed in it. It was now Rosalie's turn and she was making the camera sparkle. I had done all my poses in Edward's room while Rosalie was doing hers in her and Emmett's room.
She was even beyond a vixen goddess, each time she came out to do another round of pictures, I blushed at what she was wearing. At my turn, she was trying to give me all these tips on how to make myself look more pin-up type. Let me tell you, it didn't work! I was laughing through the whole thing and could only get out about seven serious ones through the whole fifty pictures! Alice was laughing too at Rosalie's tips, because they were so promiscuous.
Alice told us that she was running out of film and so we had to stop. Though she ran out of film, Rosalie had got at least one hundred pictures. Since Alice was using a digal camera, I knew that we had used up all of its memory. We went into Alice's room so she could do all the computer stuff. Dancing away to the computer in the corner, Alice loaded the pictures onto the computer while Rosalie and I talked.
"Bella, Edward is going flip!" Rosalie exclaimed.
"Why?" I grumbled, I thought I looked terrible.
"Just be glad that Alice did your shopping," she smiled and motioned to Alice's form who was typing away at the computer, "If I had, you would have never stopped blushing! Though, we probably would have to drug you to get you into the stuff."
I rolled my eyes at her and got more comfortable on Alice's bed, "I made a fool out of myself."
"No you didn't!" she shook her head and her wavy hair flew.
"Bella," Alice called from the other side of the room, "Come look at the best pictures, and then tell me you made a fool out of yourself."
I did, stumbling on the bare carpet, but caught myself. Hearing Rosalie's laugh behind me, I scowled and kept moving. The computer screen was filled with tiny thumb nails of me, Alice clicked on one in the middle. It showed me, in a lavender colored number, leaning back against the window-wall in Edward's room. My face was seductive looking, my eyes dreamly dazed. I must have been thinking of Edward on that one.
"How did you snap that one?" I hand my hand up to my mouth and was rubbing my chin.
"Rosalie told you to think of Edward's face," Alice told me and then I heard from behind me, "Oh yeah, I remember!"
Clicking out of that thumb nail, Alice got another one, farther down. This one was the outfit that I insisted I not wear. It was a soild black with white polka dot and a push-up bra with boy shorts. They had me lay down on his couch and look up into the camera. Rosalie was holding Alice up over me, I was afraid that Alice was going to fall on top of me. The expression I had reflected the sense of love and passion I had felt at that moment. It was wonderful, but the picture made my blush beet red.
"That is the picture he'll come alive for," Rosalie winked at me and put both her hands on my shoulder.
"How did you get them to stay away, anyhow?" I picked at my nails with my teeth.
Alice smiled at me, flashing her ultra white teeth, "I told them that there was going to be a storm, so they could go play."
"Go play what?" I replied, not really caring.
"Baseball, it's not going to rain though. I said they would have to wait awhile,"she had on a sneaky grin.
"Naughty!" I made my mouth go in an 'o' and pointed at her, "You lied Alice!"
"It was necessary, I promise!" Rosalie patted my back and pushed me off to the bathroom, "We have some down time until the boys figure out that it's not going to storm, so go in and change. There should be a t-shirt and a pair of jeans in there."
Giving a smile, I didn't want to see the two other pictures that Alice tried to show me so I skipped off to the bathroom. Seeing that there was actually regular clothes, I had to give my thanks.
"Thank you Alice!" I yelled them as I began to shut the door, then added, "You to Rosalie!"
"Call me Rose! And your welcome!" Rose called back, sounding like she was trying to supress a giggle.
The door was closed as I stepped out of the blue nightgown and quickly slipped into the jeans and comfortable orange t-shirt. It had the embelm of Reese on it, that made my mouth water, chocolate! That sounded good, my stomach wasn't too full anymore, I was glad for that! From the other side of the door, I heard a small gasp. Wanting to know who it was, I stepped out and saw Esme gazing at the screen. She was whispering something to Alice and Rose, who had changed into black shorts and a pink top.
"Hi Esme!" I was enthusiastic, all the girls in the house were here.
"Hello dear, how are you?" her voice was light and musical.
I shrugged and went over to them, "Wonderful, what did you gasp at?"
"Oh, nothing," she sounded like she was keeping a secret.
"It must be something? Tell!" I squealed and bit my lip.
"Okay," Esme gushed, "I saw the pictures that Alice took of you! I think that we might have to take Edward to the hosptial! His heart with for sure start rebeating!"
For a fleeting second she reminded me of a school girl, "They're not that good."
The three woman groaned, and Esme sat me down in a chair by the computer, she pointed to the screen.
"Just because you think that your bad looking doesn't mean you are! For a human, you're the most beautiful one that I've ever seen! Those big coffee eyes and those lips! Honey, you could be a model! This is proof!" Esme took my face between her hands and gently forced me to look at the computer.
I was in complete shock, surely she was lying. Or I really was that pretty. I didn't think I was, but the picture on the computer of me in the hot pink baby doll apron. Basicly, that one I had blushed all the way through, and my eyes were hazy. Alice had me lean and look like I was picking out a CD from Edward's collection. Now, I was looking at it from a new persective, I mean I guess I was kind of pretty. Though no where near Rose's stature.
"Okay," I murmured and cast me eyes down.
"Did I make you see?" Esme asked me.
Alice shook her head at Esme, "A very good job of it too."
Esme smiled and left the room gracefully, "I love being a mom."
Rose and Alice chuckled.
Now Alice was finished running through all of our pictures and she was setting them in different folders. Rose took my hand and gave me a wink.
"Let's go watch some TV," she said to me, then turned to Alice and told her something in vampire tongue.
Alice nodded and returned a firm look before we strolled out of the room. The good thing about Rosalie is she's not always rushing places. Taking our time on going down the stairs, we finally reached the living room. I sat on the couch while she tinkered with the DVD player.
"Want to watch a movie?" she asked as she came over with a handful of DVD's.
I picked Interview with a Vampire, "Sure."
Moaning then rushing back to pop it in, I watched her. It was such a relief to be friends with Rosalie. I liked her and I'm glad I spoke up. Alice was happy to, I saw it in her face. I'm sure this would make Edward even happier to realize that we wouldn't have to shy away from her anymore.
"I'm going to lay on the floor," Rosalie sprawled out on the white carpet and put her hands under her chin as the movie began, looking like a top cover model.
Upon seeing the movie before I met the Cullens, I always thought it a bit sad when Claudia and the newly sired wife dies. Just a weakness I guess. Because of that, I always teared up, a little. This time was no exception, even though I knew that vampires couldn't die from sunlight exposure. A tiny tear slid down my cheek and Rosalie scoffed.
"Are you crying at this?" she kicked a leg at the TV.
"No," I lied, but my voice cracked.
"Bella!" she growled and sighed at the same time.
I shrugged, "Like I can help my hormones!"
"Oh yeah," I could almost hear her eyes roll.
We became quiet again and soon the moive was over.
Rosalie sat up, her ears perked and she yelled, "We're coming! Wait a minute!"
She turned to me and threw me over her shoulder, then raced up the stairs. Waiting in the hallway was Alice with two magazines. Except the closer I looked, I saw that they weren't Elle, Seventeen, or Allure. Both had a picture of either Rosalie or me on it. I was surprised that Alice was going to present our pictures like this.She had got them done so quick, the pages were even glossy. Wow, I thought, she had given me mine to check over and make sure everything was okay. It was perfect, she even included articles out my life on every other page. Though, my life had really only began when I met Edward.
"Thank you!" I hugged Alice and Rosalie.
"See?" Alice piped up and smiled.
"Yes, I think all of you were right, I am beauti-" I stopped myself, "-pretty!"
Rosalie groaned, "That will have to do."
"Alice, what are you going to do for Jasper?" I asked, because she hadn't took any pictures of herself.
"I got it covered, Bella. But I will need your help in a bit, you too Rose," Alice informed us.
I nodded, "Okay," and then I gave the magazine back to her.
"They're home," Alice anounced and disappered downstairs.
"Where should we go?" I looked to Rose.
"You to Edward's room, I to mine," she flashed a toothy grin and said, "She's giving the magazines to them right now, at the door. Better hurry!" and she was gone too.
I ran to Edward's room, surprised at how fast I got there and without falling or even tripping. Butterflies fluttered in my stomach, I sat down on the leather couch and tried to calm my breathing and my heart. It wasn't working so good. From downstairs I heard Emmett howling and then him rumbling up the stairs to seek Rosalie out. I waited for Edward.
The door opened then shut, as if it was just the wind that did it. No, it wasn't the wind, it was Edward, because he was standing in front of me. It was amazing to see him so shocked. I've never seen anyone look like he did. His hair was perfect as usual, but his face, oh his glorious face. Eyes were very light, like he had just hunted; too big, bright, and wide for his face. Mouth swinging open and he wasn't going to close it. Edward held the magazine open in front of him, staring at it with them most wonderous expression. He made an effort to speak.
"B-b-bella I-I th-his," he stammered at the me then the magazine.
All I could do was blush while he tried to talk again, "W-wow, h-h-how d-did you-u d-o-o it-t?"
"Um," I gasped as he reasmbled his face and came closer to me, standing right in front of me so I had to look up, "Am I pretty?"
His face fell, then became like it was before, an exact replica. Edward leaned down and I had my arms around in neck while my legs were around his waist. My nose was touching his, he closed his mouth but his eyes were still completely huge.
"You are perfect Isabella Swan, not pretty, not beautiful, utterly perfect," he whispered, gazing into my eyes, my very soul it felt like.
I looked down, and blushed, muttering, "Liar."
He tensed under me slightly, before putting me back on the couch. But this time I wasn't alone. In such a away, he was on top of me, his arms holding him up over me. My breath caught in my throat as he bent down to give me a mind numbing stare.
"Yes you are," Edward declared and started kissing my neck, but his eyes were always up and peering into mine.
I liked it like that.
Remembering if I wanted to be alive, I had to breathe, so I did. It was a jagged one, too, he chuckled but didn't stop the kissing.
"My God, Bella, I love you," he came back up, leveling his marvelous face with mine.
"Edward," I breathed his name in his face, when he came down and kissed me full on the lips.
Uh wow, I thought, basicly that was the only thing I thought while he was kissing me like that. It felt as if somehow I was lifted up into Heaven, within my angel's arms.
Breaking away from the kiss, he rested his cold cheek on my flushed one.
"You're so warm," he whispered, gliding his nose over every curve of my face.
It tickled, I laughed a little.
"Thanks," I reached up with my hands and caught his face, "Did you get mad when it didn't storm?"
"No, I was thinking of you the whole time," I believed him, though I'm sure he was a tiny bit disappointed.
"That's sweet…" he was dazzling me, a lot.
All I did was ogle, right there, for hours. At least it felt like hours, the clock said it had been less than five minutes. My eyes flashed to his mouth and then his nose after I let go of his god-like face. Sighing, he stood up and sat me up.
"What are we doing?" I asked, yawning.
"You confirmed what I thought, you're tired. Since you've had a long day, you should sleep. Because we're going to be doing something tonight, it will keep you up late," Edward leaned in and kissed my lips quickly.
I couldn't hide my fear, "Are you going to leave me?"
Edward stoked my cheek.
"All I have to do is go change, real quick," he promised and waved a brief wave.
Then he was gone, changing I guess. What was he changing into? Well, he liked the magazine sure enough. Just like Rose, Alice, and Esme said. I should listen to them more often. Too bad I didn't have a camera with me when he came in, I loved the look on his face. Of course, when didn't I? From Edward's bathroom, I heard I crash.
"Damn it!" I roared then all was silent, but I wondered what happened.
Edward came out of the bathroom then, it was all dark, in some glossy black shorts and an open white button down shirt. It showed off his muscles, a lot. My breathing became erratic as he sauntered over to the couch.
"Sorry," he apologized for something I didn't know about.
I decided to let it drop, "Okay."
He scooted me over on the couch, then lifted me up as he slid himself under me.
I was on his cold chest, it felt so comforting, I laid my cheek on it and breathed, "Thanks for all this, Edward."
"You haven't seen anything yet," he murmured into my hair and stroked my back.
I propped my chin on his chest and moved my fingers so they were on it too.
"Bella," Edward sighed, "You should sleep a few hours."
Drawing doodles across his chest with my fingertips, I snickered.
"What if I don't want to?" I asked, peeking at him from underneath my lashes.
"If you don't," he paused and took on of my hands in his own, "You'll fall asleep in the very middle of your surprise."
I groaned, more surprises? I swear, I was all surprised out by now.
"Fine," I whispered, then closed my eyes on his lovely face.
"Good," he murmured sweetly in my ear, moving me up closer to his face.
This really has nothing important to do, but it was just fun to do it anyway. I'm glad I get to write Rosalie into more of the story, she's fun. Alice and Emmett too. Esme also, it's hard to write Jasper in, but I'll make a large eefort to try in the next chapter. Fun fun fun! For me and you. Yah go us! If I get a lot of reviews, I might write more…(you know I will.) Love ya lots ya'll! Ta at for now, much!
