Chapter 3
Good Morning
BPOV
I woke up slowly and groggily. My body still tired and wanting to go back to the soft sheets, pillows and comforters that were filled with a sweet smell. Yet, I had to get up to feed the two shopping addicts and now adding on the three guys..? Well, I'll be real busy feeding a guy as big as Emmett.
I can only hope they forget my behavior yesterday. I'll have to apologize to Rose for acting like that and thank Edward for being there to comfort me.
Edward. I sighed.
He is such a great guy. Nice, funny, easy going, smart and a doctor. I always have a thing for doctors. Yum. Stop it Bella. I mentally scolded myself. I thought I had no chance with him when we met and now that I know he's gay I know I've got no chance. I mean, why would he find me, boring and dull Swan, attractive? I've got nothing to offer the guy to begin with.
At least we can be friends. Though, I feel different things towards him, feelings that are definitely NOT friend feelings. Well, not like I could change anything now. I'll be the kind of person that has an attraction towards her gay best friend. Ha.
I got off the bed, ending my self-berating for now and went downstairs, not bothering to change my appearance. I went slowly for the stairs in fear of slipping and bringing out my clumsy side. Once I made it safely to the bottom, I went into the kitchen. I got the eggs out as well as other ingredients. I would make them a big breakfast to apologize for my behavior yesterday, I'm sure they'd appreciate it.
I put on my blue apron because I didn't want to ruin my pajamas and began dancing a little while humming a tune. I set up the coffee machine knowing that a couple of certain someone's would want to start their mornings with something strong. I got the pans out and I made the eggs. I was about to make the chocolate pancakes when I heard someone clear their throats.
Idiot me, I turn around too quickly, slipping and if it wasn't for someone who grabbed me by the waist and picked me up I would've hit the ground. Even with the spatula in my hand I grabbed onto the arms of whoever saved me and I looked up. I was met with green eyes – Edward's green eyes. Oh god…
"Why do we keep greeting each other like this?" he laughed. I blushed red and he laughed again.
"Because I'm such a klutz and because the ground and I have a constant war. So far, he's winning 2 to 0. I mean, you're not exactly helping me here when you sneak up on me." I said without thinking.
He smiled. "You're cute when you rant, do you know that?" In embarrassment I blush…once again. What is it about him that keeps me blushing?...
"And so is that blush…" and with that I moved away from him before I started spewing things that I found cute about him. I went back to the ingredients ready to makes the pancakes.
"S-sso, w-what are you doing up s-sso early?" I asked clearing my throat. I cursed myself for being so affected by him even after just a day.
"I couldn't sleep much. Thought it was a good enough time waking up, seeing as how it's 6:30 in the morning. What about you?" he asked back.
"Well, as you can see, I'm making breakfast. I'm hoping the guys will take my apology for my behavior yesterday during dinner. Plus, ever since the two shopoholics found out about my ability to cook, I'm the designated chef." I said not looking at him.
"Don't you mind that they're using you for your abilities?" he asked.
I shrugged. "Not much. I mean, I get to cook, which is what I went to school for so I get to practice. And if I don't your royal highness Alice will fuss and then she'll pout and effectively get me to so whatever she wants." He laughed.
"True." I could hear him moving and I felt him behind me. "So, what are you making now?" he asked. I could feel his hot breath on my neck and it was making my thought process falter as well as my heartbeat increase. I couldn't think straight and I felt like I didn't want to. I took a couple of seconds of trying to regain my composure to answer his question. I could still feel him behind me and his breathing was coming in rapidly on my neck.
"C-chocolate pancakes," I finally got out. Good god. I tried lower the speed of my heartbeat and it didn't work. Well, not until he back off from behind me but then I missed the warmth that radiated from him.
"Can I help?" he asked.
"Sure." I kept my distance not wanting to alert him of the way he was making me feel but there were moments when our hands would touch and I could feel the spark I felt when we met. It scared me to think of what the spark could mean. I had never felt anything like it. This was a new feeling. I never felt it with any other guy I went on a date with, and I haven't even gone out on a date with Edward. Never will anyway.
When we got breakfast ready and finished, I took off my apron and moved to leave the kitchen. "Where are you going?" asked Edward, seeing me leave.
"I'm going to wake the guys up." I said and took a step when Edward called me again. "Yeah?"
"Um, be careful with Emmett. He sometimes likes to sleep naked. Just a warning." He said a little worried. "He might not be as gracious as to remember that he's naked. I remember it was not exactly my best mornings trying to wake him up." He shuddered, probably remembering it. I nodded in understanding.
I went up the stairs and decided that maybe the guys would be easier to awaken. I went to Emmett's room first. I cautiously opened the door and to a peek inside. I took a glance towards the bed and lo and behold, there was Emmett spread out on his stomach. He had his head under the pillow so I had to enter and speak close or he wouldn't hear me.
I quietly made my way to the right side of the bed where his head was located. He was currently snoring. It was cute. Like a bear during hibernation. I took the pillow from over his head and placed it at the end of the bed.
I shook his shoulder which was like pushing a boulder. Nothing. I tickled him behind the ear which was always a way my mom used to wake me up and it only got him smiling. "Emmett," I whispered. "Wake up," then followed thirty seconds of silence. "Wakey wakey Emmy." I said smiling. "Teddy bear wake up!!!" I whispered shaking his shoulder again.
Well, that didn't work. "AHA!" I had an idea, but I wasn't sure if it'd work. I pulled back the covers ready to cover my eyes, just in case. When I looked I sighed in relief. Well, at least he wasn't naked. That's a plus. He was only in his blue rubber ducky boxers.
I moved slowly towards Emmett and went straight to his sides tickling him. He started moving and I thought he was waking up. He turned to his side and somehow wrapped his arms around me bring me down with him. I hit his chest hard as I fell against him. I let out a shriek in surprise. I stayed silent and still for a moment thinking maybe he was waking up but noooo, he was just getting comfortable.
What the hell…? How is he still sleeping? He was snoring once again. I tapped his arm calling his name and nothing. I tried to wiggle out of his hold but stopped when I felt um, something prodding me in the back. My eyes widened. Oh god…
Someone knocked on the door and entered. "Emmett? You screamed?" I knew that velvet voice.
"Edward? Help me!" I whispered fiercely. God, this was embarrassing…
"Bella? What are you doing?" he asked confused.
"I was trying to wake him up!!" I said not bothering to whisper anymore seeing as Emmett could sleep through anything.
"Oh… well, I heard a scream and I thought maybe he was naked again." He looked at Emmett. "I can see that's clearly not the case. I also forgot to tell you that he's a heavy-sleeper."
"You know, that information would've been helpful a couple of minutes ago." I told him. Why the hell didn't he say something before? Just then Emmett started moving, not waking up, moving. Yeah, you get me.
I could feel him behind me and I could tell he was huge, and long. And dear lord this was embarrassing. I couldn't get out of his grasp and I tried waking him up again.
"Edward, help me. And hurry!" I said frantically.
"Okay, but what's up?" he asked moving closer.
"I'm, umm, feeling his, thing poking behind me." I said blushing. I couldn't exactly say the word dick or cock out loud without being embarrassed. Especially not in front of Edward, I mean being in this position enough was mortifying.
"Oh," he said. It took him a second to know what I meant. "Oh!" he came to my side quickly. But by then Emmett's grip on me had tightened. I kept wiggling but he moved too so I kept hitting his umm, penis.
"Emmett wake up!" Edward said. Emmett just moaned, rubbing his dick on my ass. Edward tried prying Emmett's arms from my waist but Emmett wouldn't let go.
I kept trying to get away from his grasp but he tightened it every so often and he grunted and moaned. I just blushed, embarrassed that this was happening. I mean, Emmett is a nice enough guy but in no way did I feel that way about him. Edward maybe but not Emmett. I think of him as a brother, maybe. And THIS was definitely not what brothers and sisters do.
"Edward, help! God, this is embarrassing…" I said as Emmett's grunts got louder.
"I'm trying but Emmett's stiff as a rock." He shook his head.
"Ha! You're telling me…." I stopped trying to move seeing as how that may be what's stimulating Emmett's reaction. But noooo, Emmett's subconscious was determined to end what it started and once I stopped moving Emmett started to dry hump me.
"Aw, Fuck…" Edward said once he saw that he couldn't loosen Emmett's grasp. He grabbed the pillow and went to Emmett's head.
Emmett was grunting and moaning so loud. His movements were shaking the bed and I could feel his cock stiffening. Oh hell no…
Edward started hitting Emmett on the head with the pillow and tried to cover his head with it, making it seem like he was suffocating him. It would've been funny if I wasn't in the center of everything.
Right as Edward placed the pillow on his head, Emmett started to hump me faster and I tried once again to move away from him but no such luck. Just then, Emmett let out a guttural moan and one last grunt with a thrust of his hips at me and he released. I could feel my back getting wet and sticky from his warm cum.
Edward put his arm around Emmett's neck and tightened his hold Emmett looked a little purple. "Emmett! Wake the fuck up!!!" he yelled looking angry. I could understand, I mean he just watched one of his guy friends sexually assault his friend right in front of him, while he was sleeping!
"Emmett for the love of all things holy if you don't fucking wake up right now I'll physically assault you and I'll scratch your precious car!!!" I have no idea how that worked but Emmett started to stir.
"Hey,…" he said drowsily. "Umm, Eddie boy why are you choking me?" he asked laughing a little. I let out a little laugh of my own. He had no idea what was even happening. Edward released him from his grip though.
Emmett heard me and looked down. "Bella? Bells, what are you doing here? And in my bed? I don't remember bringing you up here…and why are my boxers wet? Edward why are you guys in my room, anyway?" he asked confused. He released me from his hold and Edward came right over to help me up.
"Bella, are you alright?" Edward asked concern written all over his face. He turned to look at Emmett and seemed to be glaring as well.
"Bells, why is your back wet? Did you –" he stopped, his eyes widening as he finally realized what had occurred. "I didn't….did I?" I suspected he finally got on the right train. I couldn't stop myself from blushing.
"Yeah, Emmett…you did. Anything you want to say?" Edward snarled hugging me tightly but avoiding touching the cum that was probably drying on my lower back.
Emmett scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, I could even see a slight pink on his cheeks as he blushed. "Oh, well…I… I was dreaming, I didn't know…I am soooo sorry Bella." he looked really embarrassed. (A/N: Anyone guess who he was dreaming about?)
"Yeah…um, well…Apology accepted I guess. I wasn't exactly expecting that when I was coming up here to wake you up…or ever really." I looked away blushing.
"Yeah, neither did I." he said looking into his lap but then the wet spot reminded him of what happened so he looked somewhere else.
"I think we should leave Emmett to clean up his mess. Maybe he could also get ready and head downstairs, so I could talk to him about something." he spoke directly at Emmett, his voice tight and struggling to keep it that way.
Emmett nodded. "Yeah, I'll uh, see you guys downstairs. Once I…change and all that. Again, I'm so sorry Bella. Honestly I had no idea." I nodded and left the room with Edward.
Once we were out Edward turned back to me. "Are you alright?" he asked again.
I nodded. "Yeah, I'm fine. You know, I don't really like Emmett that way. I saw him as a brother. This was just weird and embarrassing." He just sighed in relief.
"Well, that's good. If he'd hurt you I was going to have to dismember his car. It's like his lifeline. I'm sorry I couldn't get you out in time, you know before he…"
"Released his load?" I offered, trying to lessen the air.
He let out a short laugh. "Yeah, that. I'll make sure nothing like that happens again." He smiled. He put his hand on my cheek and moved his thumb, rubbing my cheek where the blush still held. He placed a kiss on my forehead and spoke again, "Go get changed and wake the rest up. I have to go and make sure Mr. Wet Dreams doesn't eat all of breakfast."
He left and I went to the bathroom at the other end of the hall, the one I was now sharing with Edward. My towel was in there and I stripped myself of my pajamas. I put them under water not wanting the cum to dry on my clothes.
I shivered. I turned the water on and instantly hopped in. as I showered I hoped to rid myself of that god-awful embarrassment. I hope to God that Emmett does not bring that up. But then again he might be too embarrassed himself. I mean, he practically assaulted me while he was asleep.
Hmm, maybe I could use it to my advantage...or maybe blackmail. I thought before I could cast it away. I mentally scolded myself for thing such things. I've been hanging out with Rose too much. After I finished my shower, effectively cleansing me of any of Emmett's cum from my back, wrapped myself in a towel and grabbed my wet clothes. I cautiously left the bathroom and headed downstairs to the second floor so I could reach my bedroom and change.
I put the wet clothes in the hamper as soon as I got into my room. I had to be careful going down the stairs because water and I don't go together and adding my clumsiness to the equation just doesn't make it better.
I walked to my closet, thankful that Alice wasn't up yet or else the little pixie would be picking her outfit for the day and knowing her, it'd be something so exposing and uncomfortable. I picked out a washed out pair of jeans and a dark green tee-shirt. Hopefully I don't run into anymore problems…. I highly doubt Jasper will react like Emmett. I shuddered. Maybe I'll be extra careful just in case. I'll definitely have to take a different approach with him.
Once I was completely changed, not bothering to put make-up on, not that I ever do that, and I closed my bedroom behind me. I walked up the stairs and went to Jasper's room.
I knocked lightly and then opened the door slightly to peek inside. I saw Jasper was still lying asleep in bed. He was lying on his stomach, his arm hanging off the bed and his mouth opened with his head on his pillow. I walked over to him, quietly closing the door. I walked to the side of the bed closest to where his face laid. I shook his shoulder. He grumbled and moved a little, I jumped not wanting to be caught in the same position that I had with Emmett. Jasper didn't wake up though.
I prayed to God that this didn't end up like with Emmett. Jasper had settled down and I walked back towards the bed once he did. Rather than try to move him, I ruffled his hair. He let out a silent moan, smiling a little. He moved and I was startled when he grabbed my hand. I stayed frozen.
Please don't let this turn out like Emmett's… I don't need the embarrassment to be doubled this morning. I thought pleading to myself. Jasper didn't let go of my hand but instead lifted his head. His eyes still closed, he said, "Mhmm…" apparently he was still sleepy. He was awake, somewhat, and I let out a gush of air, not realizing that I was holding my breath.
I played with his hair a little more, awakening him further. He sighed and lay back in bed but on his back this time. He had a face of contentment as I played with his hair. He finally opened his eyes. His glowing blue orbs staring at me for a while before speaking, and frankly it was uncomfortable being under someone's gaze. "Bella? ...what are you doing here?" he looked kind of cute when he was confused. I smiled.
"I'm here to wake you up. Breakfast is ready. Emmett's up too so I suggest you hurry if you want anything left over. Edward can only hold him back for so long before the bear attacks." I joked.
He laughed. "Too true…" he said shaking his head. I got off his bed and he made motion to get up as well. We said our good mornings and I left to wake up the girls.
Once I made my way downstairs I contemplated if I should wake up Rose or Alice first. I quickly decided to should go for Rose first and apologize for yesterday. I put on hand on the doorknob and took a deep breath before knocking and opening the door.
I slowly opened the door, having it creak slightly with every movement. I peered over to the bed and saw only some blonde hair sticking out. Rose was covered up with her sheets and her pillow over her head.
I walked over to her bed, not hesitating seeing as how she's not a male that I was worried would "assault" me in their sleep like Emmett had. I tried to nudge her awake but I knew that that plan of action was futile. Rose just wasn't a morning person. Neither was I, if was I honest. But having to get up early for school, work and making breakfast for the shopping twins, I got used to it.
I took the affirmative action and pulled the sheets off of her. As I exposed her to the cold air from the AC, she quickly got up. She was dressed in the shortest things that if I wore the same sleepwear I would blush every time. It barely covered certain…parts.
"My fucking god woman! What is so important as to wake me up from the most amazing dream I've ever had?!" Rose yelled as she rubbed the sleep from her eyes and has yet to see me standing in front of her. I remained quiet, highly amused. She must've been having those kinds of dreams…EW.
Once she looked up she was shocked, most likely at seeing me in here. "Hey…Bella…" and then things got awkward. It was silent there for a few moments. I decided to save her from the silence seeing as how this was going to be long.
"Well, Rose breakfast is ready. The guys are up and I'm going to wake up Alice." I smiled and got up and left before she could say anything. I went to Alice's room went right in seeing as a knock on the door wouldn't wake Alice this late in the week.
She always had this thing of not being able to wake up early, Tuesday through Friday no matter how hard you tried. Frankly I think it's because she works herself to death. Anyway, I opened the door full wide and went right in. I tried to wake her up for five minutes but no such luck. I swear she was as bad as Emmett.
I shuddered in memory. I swear if she did not wake up in the next two minutes I was going to jump on her and slap her awake. Luckily, before I could even attempt to wake her up Bella-style Rose walked in. She was wearing a tight red short with a v-neck that exposed some of her breasts and a jean skirt showing off her long legs.
"Hey," she said shyly. I guess we were still thinking about what had happened yesterday. "What's up?"
I stared at her for a moment. I nodded my head towards Alice's still, unconscious, unmoving, tiny body. "Alice. The damn pixie won't wake up." I smiled trying to lessen the heavy cloud hanging over us at the moment.
Rose gave a knowing smirk. "Let me give it a try." She walked to the other side of Alice's bed and yanked back the sheets – nothing. But then again, unlike Rosalie Alice doesn't wear close to nothing to bed.
She tried waking Alice up for about three minutes before huffing saying nothing will wake her. Her face brightened after about a moment or two as if she just got an idea. She went and turned Alice on her back so she was facing her. Getting up on the bad and on Alice, my eyes widened. Oh hell…
Rose was always the aggressive type. She straddled Alice's tiny waist and started to lightly slap her. She shook Alice by her shoulders, getting impatient. Alice was finally getting up but Rose was so into it that she didn't notice.
I jumped on the bed and knocked Rose off. I straddled her waist, held her hands with mine pinning the, to the bed and got my face really close to hers. "Rose! Rose…." I said. At the same time we heard three throats clearing and we turned our heads slightly to peer at the door.
There stood Emmett, Jasper and…Edward. Of course... If I was ever going to get embarrassed repeatedly in front of a hot guy, it would be him. All three of us stared in shock as they stared back at us with an unfathomable expression.
"Wha-" Alice cleared her throat. "What are you guys doing here?" thankfully Alice had regained her ability to speak because clearly I hadn't.
"We were wondering why you guys were taking so long." It was Jasper who spoke. Emmett and Edward were both staring at Rose and I. Jasper was the only one looking at Alice. I was confused. Why were they looking at us? I looked down and….oh!
Our shirts were so low that you could see right down them and Rose and I were so close that our breasts were touching. I could feel a blush appearing and bright red too. I scrambled to get off of Rose and the bed, standing on my own two feet I stammered on what to say. "I…um-you. I what? ...huh….you…we weren't…" I said as I fixed my clothes.
"Wow. Why didn't I get a wake up call like that?" Emmett blurted out.
"Because you fucking assaulted her, you ass!!" Edward said hitting Emmett in the back of the head. I, for some reason, found that Edward cussing was hot. It stirred some feeling in my stomach, which felt bizarre and alien. I blushed even further.
"Oww, Eddie. That hurt!" Emmett yelled.
Edward just glared at Emmett and I could've sworn I heard him say "good…" I smiled a little.
"Well boys now that you know we're fine and about awake, why don't you go downstairs? We'll be there in a sec." Rose said closing the door on their faces, not bothering to give them a chance to speak.
Alice took off into her closet trying to find an outfit to wear. I rolled my eyes. Typical. Rose opened her mouth but closed it just as quick. Her eyebrows furrowed.
"What?" I said.
"I'm sorry." She blurted out.
"Rose, no–" I started to say wanting to tell her that she was wrong in apologizing but she interrupted me.
"No Bella. Let me say this. Look I'm sorry about what happened at dinner yesterday. I was so caught up in memories I didn't realize I was overstepping the boundaries again. I know you don't want to talk about them so I'll try to keep that part from coming out of my mouth in conversation. I'm just sorry for being such an idiot and not realizing it sooner, before I had said anything."
I stayed quiet until she was done, like she had asked. "Are you done?" I asked. She nodded looking down.
"Rose. No. you shouldn't have to be sorry. That happened a while ago. I should get over it, not cry over it every time it's mentioned. Yeah, you stepped over it but Edward helped me through it last night. Well, the understanding part. I haven't exactly gotten to telling him about it. Anyways, you don't feel sorry. I should be sorry, sorry for being so damn oversensitive." I explained.
"Ok. Wait! What's this about Edward?" she asked. Of course. Out of everything I just told her. The hot guy who is my, well our new housemate who comforted me last night caught her attention. I rolled my eyes.
"What's this talk about Edward?" Alice's head popped out from the closet. She walked out dressed in a pink spaghetti strapped shirt and jean shorts.
I sighed. "Nothing. I – He just so happened to be kind last night. He came to my bedroom late at night and thinking it was you guys coming in to apologize, I tried to brush you off. Once I heard him speak up I turned around and fell right off of my chair." They both gave an appreciative laugh. Duh, Bella the klutz. "Edward helped me up and I asked him why he came. I mean with the emotional mess I left at dinner, I would've thought he saw me as a weirdo or just PMSing. He said he wanted to talk and comfort me. He brought the ice cream I had made earlier for dessert and we ate. We talked, he told me about what happened after I left and along those lines he helped me realize that I shouldn't react like that about my past anymore. It's done and over with. All behind me." I finished with a smile.
"Wow… Wait, Edward did all this?" they both asked me. I nodded.
"I'm sure he doesn't know the extent of his help when he comforted me but he did. He didn't push for details, he just held me. He said he felt like he wanted to be there for me. So now we're friends." I said smiling, probably dreamy looking.
"Right…honey, you do know he's gay right?" Rose said.
"Yeah, he told me last night. He said he didn't want our friendship to start off with any secrets and he just flat out told me." I said looking at me then confused because they were looking at me concerned.
"What?! He told you?" Alice shrieked.
"Yeah… why? What's wrong?" now I was really confused.
Alice huffed and pouted. "He never told me." he mumbled.
"So you didn't know?" I asked. Oh god, did I just spill his secret to Alice, who apparently didn't know?!
"Oh I know. But I had to hear it from Emmett and Jasper. They told us when they came clean as well." Oh. I could see that not getting it straight from the source would piss off Alice. Wait, Emmett and Jasper…
"Emmett and Jasper? You mean they're also…" I trailed off.
"Yeah. And it's a damn shame. That Emmett looks good enough to eat. I bet he's huge." Rose commented.
"He certainly is." I mumbled to myself quietly. Alice and Rose both snapped their head in my direction. Oh shit. Maybe I wasn't so quiet.
"What did you say?" Alice said still shocked.
"Bella, did you sleep with Emmett?" Rose asked.
"What?! No...No, no. Hell no!" I said shaking my head and moving my hands. "I just..." oh god. How do I explain this without embarrassment? Answer: I can't. I sighed.
"This morning, when I woke up I went downstairs to make breakfast." I said carefully. "When that was done, I went to wake up the guys. I went to Emmett's first." I hesitated to tell them the rest and I could tell I was getting red. "He was sleeping and apparently he's a heavy sleeper. When I tried waking him up, he moved and in Bella style I fell in the bed and he grabbed onto me. He was still sleeping and when I tried to get out I couldn't. He had quite a grip on me. He was apparently having one of those dreams. And when I moved against him trying to get off he, um well, he woke up if you know what I mean."
"What happened next?" Alice inquired moving closer to me.
I buried my head in my hands trying to hide my embarrassment. "Well after trying to pry him off, Edward appeared and tried to wake him up. When Emmett sleeps, he really sleeps. I swear Edward was suffocating Emmett with the pillow and Emmett didn't even wake up until he, um, released." I shiver in memory. Never again. I'll have to take more precautions in the morning or have someone with me.
"He what?!" Rose yelled. I could tell she didn't like it.
"Calm down, Rose. It was an accident. He didn't even know he did it. When he realized it he was embarrassed." I tried to explain. She relaxed a little.
"Bella he practically raped you." She shook her head.
"No he didn't. He was unconscious and it's not like he took my clothes off." She took a deep breath and nodded her head. But I could've sworn I heard her whisper 'fine, he unconsciously raped you then.'
Alice looked pensive. "You said Edward helped you?" she asked after a moment of thinking. I nodded not sure where she was going with this. "Okay well let's go downstairs. Breakfast must be getting cold." She said changing the subject rather abruptly. She and Rose shared a look and we headed downstairs.
When we did we heard Edward's voice just as we reached the corner of the kitchen. "Just don't fucking do it again!" he yelled.
We heard a smack and then Emmet's voice. "Oww. Fine Eddie. But I was sleeping you can't hold it against me!" He yelled back.
"Don't call me Eddie, Emmy" I heard Edward growl.
"Fine, fine. Edward."
We walked in and there stood Emmett holding a hand to his head, quite possibly where he was hit. Edward was on the other side of the kitchen, his arms crossed across his chest and he seemed to be glaring at Emmett. Jasper was sitting down eating a pancake. He seemed to be finding the entire thing amusing.
"Hey Edward," I said pretending like we just didn't hear them arguing. He saw me and instantly relaxed. Alice went to sit down next to Jasper and she talked to him while Rose stared at Emmett.
"Bella" Edward said. He came over to me and hugged me. "You okay?"
"Sure. Why?" I asked confused.
"You sure? I would've thought Emmett had scarred you or something." he said inspecting every little movement to see if I was lying.
I shook my head. "I'm fine. Granted I'm never see Emmett in the same light again." I glanced at Emmett who at the moment was trying to look at anything and anyone but me. I guess you could say he was still embarrassed.
"Yeah, but he practically raped or molested you." He argued.
"That's what I said!" Rose yelled. She went towards Emmett and punched him in the arm considering he was taller than her and she couldn't reach her head. "No one fucking rapes my little sister!!!" she yelled at him.
"Mother fucker! Do you have fists of steel or something? Good god woman! Will everyone stop ganging up on me?" Emmett said rubbing his arm. Rose took defense classes to which she drags me along and she's been a black belt for years now, whereas me I've been one for almost two years.
"Would you guys leave him alone? He was sleeping! Unconscious. Dead to the world. Don't hold it against him." I defended Emmett. It really wasn't his fault. "Plus raping me, is taking it a little too far, when he was unaware of his actions and no clothes were discarded."
"That's because he was only in his boxers." Edward said.
"What?!" Rose yelled surprised. She punched Emmett in the other arm.
"WHAT THE FUCK?! Do you WANT my arms to fall off?" he yelled.
"How about this? If you want to punish Emmett, then don't let him eat breakfast today."
Edward and Rose looked at me warily. We knew Emmett loved his food, that much was known from yesterday.
"I'll even include Lunch." I offered. Emmett protested and whined when Rose and Edward agreed. We sat down to eat breakfast and Edward ordered Emmett to leave. It was a good idea considering Emmett would rather not watch other people eat.
"Fine! I'll just play Guitar Hero." He huffed and left stomping out like a little kid. We all ate and we were really hungry. Luckily everything stayed warm.
"Wow. This is really good Bella." Jasper commented again.
"I know. Isn't it? Bella's an awesome cook." Alice added.
"Well, I can't take all the credit. Edward helped me." I said smiling at him. Alice looked shocked.
"He did?" Alice said
"Yeah, he was up and about, scaring me to death when he appeared out of nowhere and he wanted to help." I explained. Alice was staring at us with a strange expression. I met her eyes with a confused look and she gave me a 'never mind' look.
We ate and I was placing second on my plate. I was hungry but secretly I was also placing food for Emmett. I didn't think it was fair to starve him so early in the morning even if I did suggest it.
When they were all laughing about something I chose to sneak out with my plate and a glass of OJ. If they caught me my excuse could've been that I wanted to check up on Emmett.
When I reached the living room unnoticed I saw Emmett sitting on the couch pouting and playing with the Guitar Hero game like he said he would. I walked up to him and sat down next to him. He quickly sat up straight and moved to the other side of the couch.
"Here Emmett," I offered him the plate full of eggs and chocolate pancakes soaked in syrup with whip cream on top and a cherry as well. There was also bacon and grits on the plate. I also handed him the huge glass of orange juice. He seemed reluctant to take it though.
He shook his head. "I can't take it." Even thought I saw his hunger through his eyes. I pushed the plate back towards him.
I nodded and said, "Yeah you can. It's fine Emmett. It was an accident. No harm done. Just don't do it again." I laughed a little and gave him a genuine smile. He seemed to accept that and he started to scarf it down.
"Thanks I was getting hungry." He told me as he ate the pancakes and syrup ran down throat. I cleaned it up with a napkin when he didn't bother to stop eating to clean himself up. I laughed, imagining him as a little kid. I ate a little of what was on the plate but left the rest of the food for Emmett, after all I had eaten before coming out here. When he finished, I handed him back the OJ after taking a sip and he drank nearly all of that too.
I placed the plate and cup on the small table by the couch and stood up. I took out a controller from the game closet. Yeah I know, we're girls but that doesn't mean we don't know how to play video games. I switched the Guitar Hero to Mortal Kombat.
"Emmett McCarty, I challenge you to a game." I said holding out his control. I lifted one eyebrow as if asking if he would back down.
"You're on." And with that we started out game. We were both competitive and I let Emmett win the first couple of games. After all Rose was champion for like years until I came into the picture. Now she has real competition. I pretended not to know how to press the correct buttons. I guess you could say I was trying to build a fake self confidence in him.
"I can't do this," I said feigning sadness and frustration. I pretending like I was about to give up on the game all together.
"Don't be like that Bells. Try again. Just once." He said smiling and nudging the controller towards me. I pretended to contemplate his offer before accepting.
"Alright," I said sounding wary. When Emmett turned back to the game I had a smirk and my game face was on. My inner mind was laughing evilly. Rather oddly really.
I tried to smother my smile when he turned back to me. He started up the game and we played again. I held back as much as I could to make it seem like I was getting the hang of it. I got through a couple levels rather quickly.
"Wow, okay you're getting good. See all you need is practice." He smiled at me seeming a little shock that I could get so good so quickly but probably believing it was beginner's luck.
"Yeah it must be from watching you play. I mean you're so good." I practically rolled my eyes at my lameness. He nodded in agreement.
We kept on playing and I did a killer move I learned on my own. "WOW. Okay, you're really good." He commented. I saw Emmett's eyes widen as he looked at me. "What?" I said trying to hide my smile but I don't think I was doing a good job.
He eyed me suspiciously. "Have you played this before?"
"Yeah actually." I told him.
"I knew it!" he yelled pointing his finger at me. "No one is that slow and retarded."
I pretended to be hurt. "You didn't let me finish. Yes, I have played it before. I mean we practically played five or six games just now. Did you just call me retarded?"
He shifted uncomfortable and I loved ever minute of it. "Umm, I didn't mean…I mean, I didn't know. You're not – I didn't mean. No…" he said trying to convince me. I turned away from him trying not to show my smile and stop from laughing but my shoulder still shook from my silent laughter.
"Hey, I'm sorry. Don't cry. You're not retarded. In fact you're really, really super smart." He said placing a hand on my shoulder. Oh god, he thought I was crying?! That brought on another round of laughter. One I couldn't stop myself from suppressing.
"Oh god, you're going hysterical." He announced slightly worried and concerned about me. I laughed even harder. I turned back to look at him.
"Emmett…ha…I'm…ha...fine…really...haha." I need to take a breather so I forced myself to stop laughing at him for a few seconds and take a deep breath. "Emmett I was kidding. But you really should've seen your face."
He gaped at me. "What?"
"It's fine. I was just playing with you." I said smiling. "Let's get back to the game, shall we?" he nodded and we continued. I continued to kick his ass and to say he was shock when I won would be an understatement.
"How do you that?" he asked.
I shrugged. "Beginner's luck. I bet I'll lose the next games." I suggested we continued playing. I beat him in the next five games.
"You have too played this game! And I don't mean today!" he accused. I bit my lip and nodded.
"Yeah I have. In fact Rose and I are champions at this game. Fucking awesome in fact."
His jaw dropped but then he closed it. "You little sneak." He stepped closer to me at if he was going to attack me. I squealed and moved back. "I want a rematch." He said and somehow I ended up on his back.
I wrapped my arms around his neck to prevent myself from falling. I placed my controller practically in his face but he didn't seem to mind.
While we played I laughed whenever he grunted in frustration. He was really funny. I was trying to show him a move but he couldn't get it right. In the end I won again. "You know I liked it better when you didn't win." Emmett whined.
"I could arrange that." I offered. He nodded quickly wanting to boost his ego up again, I suppose.
We started the game up again for like the hundredth time. I stayed on his back and we kept playing like that for, I don't know how long. During the middle of a game we heard throats clearing and we both turned our attentions to the left.
Everyone else was standing there with a bewildered look. "What?" I asked while they stood there stunned.
"What are you doing?" they asked.
"Well, at the moment…." I took the opportunity that Emmett was distracted to press a combo down on the controller and destroy the rest of Emmett's lifeline. "I'm kicking Emmett's ass in Mortal Kombat." I said smiling triumphantly. Emmett pouted.
"I thought you said you were going to pretend like you couldn't play." Emmett whined.
I smirked. "I never said it was for the entire time. Not my fault you weren't paying attention. So what Bella- 21, Emmett- 7?" he grunted in agreement. I slid off his back and sat on the couch. He plopped next to me.
No one said anything but the guys look amused. "Rose, Alice don't you have to get ready for work?" I asked looking at the hour. It was almost 7:30 am. They had to be at work around 9:20, which was nearly two hours. They usually like to take a lot of time to get ready, unlike me.
"Right!" they said running up the stairs gracefully. I sighed internally, I'd give anything to be able to walk and run up and down the stairs without tripping. The guys sat down on the other couch and things were quiet.
"So…?" and that was all that was said for like five minutes.
"What do Rose and Alice work as?" Edward asked.
"They're clothing designers." I said smiling. He rolled his eyes as if saying 'of course'. I chuckled and he smiled. Of course Alice would be in the fashion industry, she practically lives in the mall.
"How long are they going to take?" Emmett exclaimed. It was now 8:00 am. We were talking about small stuff. Since they were guys, gay or not, I chose sports and they went into baseball and football categories.
"With Alice and Rose, "beauty is perfection"." I quote mockingly. I laughed, as did they.
"What about you?" Edward asked. "Are you like that?"
"Nah," I waved my hand. "I'm more natural. Tomboy-like if you will. Plain as day really. I don't wear much make-up unless Alice is forcing me. I prefer jeans and a t-shirt with sneakers. I guess that's why guys never give me a second glance. I don't go out of my way to dress up." I said.
"I bet that's not true. You're extremely pretty. Beautiful." Edward said. I blushed. I wasn't used to a guy complimenting me. At least not like that. Other guys was like 'you're hot!' or some shit like that.
"He's right. You're very pretty, sis." Emmett wrapped an arm around me. Jasper nodded in agreement.
"Thanks." I muttered as I blushed and hid my face on Emmett's side. He let out a laugh.
"You okay jingle bells?" a smile clear in his voice.
I nodded. "I'm just not used to being call…that. Not used to compliments really. Unless you count Rose's and Alice's."
They were about to say something when Rose and Alice came down. It was only 8:30 am. A new record. They were rushing to put their shoes on and were hopping on one foot when they spoke to me.
"Bella I was thinking that since the guys are new to Connecticut we should show them around. Maybe go to a club, so after work we're going shopping for tonight. You're coming with us." Alice stated firmly. I groaned. Not shopping. I hated shopping. I swear I was going to lose my two feet because of it. How sad is that?
I'm going to have to order a wheelchair and drive myself around. Pathetic. I had to go to work today too, at the coffee shop. At least I didn't have to work at the club because otherwise I'd be too tired. I don't think I could stand Lauren and Tanya in the same confined space for another night. Wait a minute…yes! That's it!
"Now wait just a minute Alice." I said looking around the living room.
"What are you looking for?" Emmett asked.
"My bag." I answered as I continued to move around the living room.
"Is this it?" Jasper said holding out my bag. I smiled brightly and nodded. I made my way over and opened it up. I searched it until I found the little pieces of paper.
"Aha!" I said yanking them out.
"What is it?" Edward asked eyeing the papers in my hand. I walked towards Alice and handed them to her smirking.
"They're phone numbers. Yesterday at work, the guys kept giving me their phone numbers while I waitressed. Alice and Rose have this thing with me where I'm supposed to get a number higher than these two girls at my work space. If I get more than them, I receive 'get out of shopping' cards. One for each of the two, and since yesterday I beat both of the girls I get two." I explained. "And I plan on using one of them for today's shopping trip."
I turned back to Alice, who was now counting them. Rose snorted and muttered, "Please! Lauren and Tanya aren't girls, woman, or ladies. They're sluts, whores, hoes, pieces of trash, if you will. Straight out bitches." I stared at Rose, jaw wide open, "What? It's the truth." She said shrugging.
When Alice finished counting, she had a pout on her face. "Fine," she grumbled. I smiled triumphantly. I did a little happy dance in my head seeing as how I didn't want to embarrass myself any further this morning. I looked at Emmett who seemed to be amused, Jasper was staring at Alice and Edward…well, Edward's expression was something I couldn't decipher.
"Well, we've got to run." Rose said grabbing Alice by the arm, yanking her towards the door but not before reaching for their purses and key. They sprinted out the door and then I was left with the three guys. All alone.
I had no idea of what to do. I still had hours before I had to head in for work at the coffee shop and I didn't exactly know that to do to entertain three fully grown guys, even if they are gay it still didn't seem simple. Do we watch sports? Play video games? Should I leave them alone to do what they wish? Is there something they have to do?
"So…Bella?" Emmett said drawing it out.
"Yeah…" I said staring at him curiously.
"Do you want to do something?" he asked.
"Sure I guess." Thankfully he had suggested something and we wouldn't be sitting in silence.
"You promise not to back out?" he said trying to make sure of my answer, to which I was confused about.
I nodded. "Yeah. Of course, it's better than nothing."
He broke out an evil grin and looked as if he was about to laugh evilly. I didn't like it one bit. "Well then, let's play a game shall we?"
Crap, what have I gotten myself in?
A/N: sorry for the wait. I know I promised to have it up a while back up things kept coming up and I also had to update my other stories, to which I have yet to do.
I know I embarrassed Bella a lot and Emmett slightly but trust me the other guys will get their turn. Especially Edward, but he'll experience most of it with Bella. hehe.
I hope you liked it. Please review.
