That can take characters from books, because I call Edward and Emmett! winks As if that could happen! Okay, enough random rambles, on to the Eighth chapter!
Chapter 8:
"Good," he murmured sweetly in my ear, moving me up closer to his face.
A lovely melodious voice shook me from my deep slumber. Barely remembering where I was, I shot up with my eyes fully open. Edward was no longer underneath me, he had his hands wrapped around mine while he was at my side on the floor by the couch in his room. His eyes were scared, frightened of something I didn't know of. Immediately I smiled, trying to lift him from his mood.
"Bella!" he announced and almost jumped on me from the floor.
"Edward, what's wrong?" I questioned him, I was afraid for him.
Though his fear has slightly disappeared now, I could still see a trace of it in his eyes.
"While you were asleep, you called out to me in so much pain," he stopped and took and unnecessary breath, "I was scared for you in your dream."
I couldn't even remember what dream I had, I told him that.
"Really?" his fingers stroked my face and kissed my lips.
After he was done, I answered in a dazzled breath, "It's the truth."
"Oh," he looked down at my neck, ashamed.
"What?"
"Well," he began, "I just feel bad for not waking you, because you're so beautiful when you sleep," his eyes met mine, his eyes the color of dark honey.
"Stop worrying, I'm fine, I really don't remember anything," I assured him and pushed him up with my hands.
Edward let me up, I stretched once I was off the couch. We both heard a knock at his door, and Alice came in without waiting for permission. I realized I had fell asleep in the jeans and t-shirt from earlier.
"I need your help," she said to no one in particular.
Then she pointed to me, "To help with my surprise for Jasper."
I nodded then turned back to Edward, whose face was pouting.
"Can't you stay?" he came and whispered into my ear.
Knees were wobbling, I fell into his arms.
"No, she's not going to," Edward told Alice.
"Only because you cheat!" Alice accused, "No, she's coming with me," Alice raced over and somehow took me from Edward's grasp.
We were out of his room too quickly.
"I knew that would happen," she giggled once we were in the hallway.
I fussed, "Won't he get mad?"
"He'll be fine," she shook her head as we were going down the stairs.
I almost tripped, "What are we going to do?"
Putting her finger over her lips, she shook her head fast.
"Quiet, not now," Alice helped me when I got my toe caught on a stair.
"Okay," I shrugged and we were at the door to her room.
It was covered in random pictures of me and Rosalie.
"This is how it's going to work," she bounced up and down as she cleaned up the room, "Jasper should be back tonight. He'll be full, so I don't need to worry about food," she winked at me, "Then I'll light some candles and I need to draw some pictures."
"Draw what kind of pictures?"
"Pictures of him, me, us together," Alice beamed.
I cooed at her and made her bed.
After we were done cleaning, Rosalie strolled in seeming to be very pleased.
"Did Edward give you a shocked…?" Rosalie asked, spinning around.
"Yes!" I gushed and smiles a big lip-hurting smile.
"What were you doing in his room for that long?" she raised a perfect eyebrow while Alice handed her and me candles and matches.
I laughed at her expectations, "At first looking at his stunned face, then I fell asleep."
Her face went sour and she flitted around the room, setting out the candles but not yet lighting them.
"I thought he might…!"she trailed off, trying to make it sound romantic.
"No," I mumbled, blushing.
"That's not at all what Emmett did," Rose flashed a huge grin and plopped on the bed.
It was my turn to place candles, while hers were purple, mine were red.
"I don't want to hear it," I held up a hand and put one candle on Alice's dresser.
Alice was in a chair in the corner, drawing away. Pencil shavings and erasers were flying everywhere. Now that was a Kodak moment. Her head was bent over her paper pad and she was very intent on finishing whatever she had started. I laughed at the sight, when I put two candles on her nightstand.
Being finished, Alice came over to ask Rosalie for her judgment.
"Alice!" Rosalie squealed and took the pad from her hands.
I wanted to see, so blindly, I set the candles down and ran over to where they were. Taking the pad back from Rose, Alice handed it lightly to me. It was a picture of Jasper, sketched out, of him smiling. It was beautiful, a perfect likeness of him. I brought it closer to my face, to see if she really drew it with a pencil.
"Wow!" I breathed and looked back to Alice, whose eyes were shining with joy.
"Is it good?" she asked, having already known the answer.
"Of course!" I bounded over a gave her a hug.
Rosalie rolled her eyes at us, "How many drawings is that one?"
"Third, but I'm going to throw out the other two," she shrugged, "His nose isn't right in those."
"Oh," Rosalie and I said at the same time, then looked at each other.
We both laughed, then Alice chimed in too and rolled back on our heels.
"So, are you going to be wearing anything special?" I gushed, because my sides were aching.
"You could say that," Rose added nonchalantly.
Alice threw her a glare, "Yes."
"What?" I bit my lips, fearing I had asked too much.
She shook her head, "Only Jasper will know," she snickered, as if it was some joke.
I shrugged and sighed, because she had went back to drawing in her own little world.
From downstairs we heard a bang, Rosalie looked up bright eyed, "Emmett mad."
"At what?"
"Edward."
"How come?"
"He said you are more beautiful them me in a fit of rage," Rose tossed her head back, "Not that you aren't beautiful, Emmett just doesn't like to hear the comparison of it."
I down right laughed, it was so funny.
She gave me a questioning look for me to explain myself, then mock growling, "You think that's funny?"
"No," I pointed at her face, "It's funny the way Edward and Emmett fight."
"You're right!" she agreed and jumped off the bed and went for Alice.
Alice was on the last page of her drawing pad.
"Come on, let's go steady out the boys," Rosalie took her hand and then raced to take mine as we headed for the door.
They both talked to each other quickly, though they spoke in vampire so I couldn't hear a thing. I scowled and kept going till we reached the living room. Edward was on top of Emmett and push down hard on his neck.
"Edward!" I yelped, hoping he would come to me.
But he stayed like he was, at least until Emmett kicked him off and got him in a head lock.
Rosalie went over, getting right in the middle of the fight.
"Stop it Emmett," she purred softly.
Emmett face, in a contortion of rage before, became gentle as he looked at Rose, "Do I have to, baby?"
"Yes!" Alice, Rose, and I answered him.
"But, can't we fight for five more minutes?" Emmett asked, squeezing the air out of Edward, though it didn't look like it hurt him at all.
Edward's eyes met mine, he shook his head, "five more minutes so I can teach him a lesson!"
I stuck out my bottom lip and pouted and him, but Rosalie was more quick to answer.
"Two more minutes and for both of your information," she spat, "Both Bella and I are beautiful, equally. We balance each other out!" Rosalie shouted, getting into both of their faces as she did so.
They grumbled something, each sounding like a long string of profanities.
Rose turned her back on the scene, "Back up stairs for us!"
Either Alice was tired of walking at human pace or something because she flung me over her shoulder and sped up to Emmett and Rose's room. I have to admit, it was kind of dirty. There were clothes all over the place and the bed sheets were all tangled and spread out on the floor. Maybe that's what she talked about Emmett and her doing, I blushed at the mere thought.
"Oh Bella!" Rosalie and Alice sang in unison.
"Geez," I groaned and answered to the more clearly, "What?"
"Dress up time!" Alice came up behind me and scared me so bad I jumped.
After I caught my breath, I firmly shook my head, "Hell no."
Alice sighed and gently took one arm while Rosalie took the other.
"It will be fine! The other stuff that I dressed you up in was nothing compared to this. You can fight it all you want, we'll force it on you if we have to. Though, you think Edward could handle any more shock today?" Alice spoke the last part more to Rose.
Rose shrugged, "He might not survive, but what's the difference. It's Bella's day and time with him, " then she turned to smile at me, "Would you rather go naked?"
"Crazy!" I sighed and covered my face with my hands and pretended to cry.
"That's not going to work, Bella," I could almost hear Alice shaking her finger.
"You need to take a shower," Rosalie said, then along with Alice led me to Rosalie's big bathroom.
I couldn't believe it, it was so large! Having two black marble sinks, a full size black bath tub that even President Taft could have fit into and a glass shower, it looked like a modern Roman bath house. Only taking a guess, my eyes felt like they were going to pop out.
"This is your bathroom?" I was truly and utterly amazed.
"Yep," Rose answered with a super easy smile.
Alice turned on the bath tub water, "Instead of a shower, take a bath."
"Then I'll get all prune-y," I whined as Rosalie moved to a closet behind us.
"Doesn't matter, you'll have plenty of time to stop it," Alice winked and Rosalie dumped the rest of a bottle of bubble bath into the water.
Soon, the tub was almost over flowing with bubbles.
Shoving shampoo bottles and conditioner into my hands, Alice left the room.
"You use this one first, then this one," Rose pointed to bottles of stuff I couldn't even pronounce.
"Huh?" I asked and she just shook her head.
Then she was gone too. The water looked warm, in fact it was steaming so I slipped off my clothes and got into the tub. It was very tranquil, there must have been lavender in the bubble bath because I sank into a lovely soothing state. Though, it wasn't to long before I remembered I had to wash my hair and everything. After that was done and I was worrying that I had used the products in the wrong order, I scrubbed my face. It almost felt halfway raw, the eye make-up didn't want to come off.
Being done, I stepped out and wrapped myself in a towel from the towel warmer. The tub was draining when I was finished drying my hair. Someone was knocking on the door.
"What?" I said through the towel, I was patting my face dry, then added, "I'm done!"
Alice's cheery voice was muffled by the door, "Are you covered so we can start?"
"Start?" I sounded frightened, partly because I was.
"Yes, answers please?" she sighed and banged again on the door.
"I'm good," I made sure my body was covered and everything.
Rosalie was no where in sight when Alice opened up the door to come in.
"Okay, let's see what we can do!" she was hauling in a chair.
"Oh God," I muttered and bit my lip.
Alice put the chair facing backwards, so it was not facing the mirror. Then she patted my head and I sat down in it, while still fully covered with the towel. She went back out of the room. I was contemplating how fast I could get up and run from the chair and what they were trying to do to me, again for the fourth time today, when after about five minutes both Rosalie and Alice appeared.
"Sorry for the wait," Rosalie smiled at me, "I forget that we didn't have some stuff so I had to run out and get it."
"Literally run?" I asked.
"Yeah, just shows how much we love you!" Alice pinched my cheek like a grandma would.
I scowled, they laughed.
"If you're planning on doing anymore stuff to me, I'll scream!" I threatened, but both them and I knew I wouldn't do it.
"Lighten up! Let both of us have our fun while we can," Alice murmured into my ear while she brushed my hair.
"Whatever," I frowned and then changed mindsets, "What did you have to get?"
Rosalie winked at me, "Some hair and make-up magazines, more eye liner and other items that I was running out if."
"Really?" why would they need magazines…
Oh shoot, they're going to make me over, worse than Alice did early! What the heck am I going to do? Both vampires started coming towards me, Rosalie with a heated round brush and Alice with a spray bottle. It made me nervous because they were looking at me weird, like they were going to eat me, well not exactly like that. Just a light gleam of a grin was on each of their lips.
Short, yeah I know. Oh well, I got an idea for a sequel to this story. Although, you won't be able to read it until I finish this one!
