Edward and I bolted for the front door of the house as we got out of the car. Alice and Jasper ran to his car, getting his stay over bag for the night. He wasn't going anywhere tonight. No one was.
We made it through the door, all soaked. Even more soaked than when we were hit before. Esme and Carlisle met us at the door with towels. They were still up because it was only 10:30.
"My darlings, I'm so glad you made it home safely. This is supposed to get worse." Esme said, while encasing us into a very warm hug. She didn't care that she would get wet, she just wanted to give us her love.
"Charlie called us a while ago, Bella is to stay here tonight or as long as she needs to. Same with Jasper." Carlisle began. "Surely, Emmett will be fine at Rosalie's house. Since her and Jasper are on their own, they should be fine. Emmett will keep her safe." He always had trusted his children. He knew they were responsible and nothing bad would ever happen because of that.
"Yea. He called Bella on the car ride home." Edward said.
He was about to speak again but, Carlisle beat him to the punch. "Now, since Jasper will be staying here tonight, Alice will keep him in her room. So, tonight, you can have Bella stay in your room."
Edward looked at his dad and just said, "Really? You're allowing this?" Carlisle nodded and Esme smiled her hearty smile.
Alice walked in at that moment. "What's going on?"
Edward turned to Alice and said, "Well, it's a co-ed sleepover tonight. Jasper gets to stay in your room and Bella in mine."
Alice's eyes bugged out of her their sockets. "Really?" she squealed. She grabbed Jasper's hand and they ran to her room.
Edward then grabbed my and we walked up the stairs to our destination. We were extremely soaking wet so, we had to hurry. We didn't need to get pneumonia.
I had to run to Alice's room to get a change of shirt but, I would wear Edwards pajama bottoms from last night. I had to make sure I was in and out before I interrupted something I didn't want to have in my brain until I died.
I picked out a tank top and a hoodie that I had seen Alice wear maybe once. She wasn't into wearing sweats like me. She always wore more fancy clothes. She had a higher fashion sense than me.
I returned to Edward's room with my clothes. I was going to change in his bathroom once again.
I walked in without knocking and Edward was there without a shirt on, again. He saw me looking at him like before but, this time, he kept his shirt off.
"Hey, love." he said softly.
"Hi. Um, I'm gonna go change." I said, still staring at him.
He nodded. "You wouldn't want to catch cold or anything." he walked over to me, as we were only a few feet apart, and gently kissed me on the lips.
Of course, I got too into it and he pulled away too quickly. "Let's wait til you're dry to finish that conversation."
I nodded and ran into his bathroom. My clothes were sticking to me, that's how soaked I was but, it didn't stop me from changing quickly. I wanted to be with Edward as much as I could tonight. I didn't know what was going to happen but, it felt like our relationship would intensify tonight.
I took a quick glance at myself in the mirror, looking keyed up. I didn't know why that was because, with Edward, I was so much in love and I knew I would be with him forever.
I nodded as a sign to myself that I was ready to go back to him and I took a deep breath. I walked out the door and knew I was ready for the rest of the night.
Edward was on his bed watching TV. 'Had I been that long?' I thought. I shook my head and Edward noticed.
"Come here." he said, patting the bed next to him. I curled up next to him, putting my head on his still bare chest. He wrapped his arm around my waist. He put his head on top of mine as he spoke, "Now, the responsible thing would be to let you sleep here and I would sleep on the floor…" he began.
"But," I cut him off, "I would rather you stay here. To keep me warm." I felt the bed shake and I looked up to see him chuckling.
I shivered as I felt a cold breeze come from the only open window in his room. He noticed and asked, "Are you cold?" I nodded and he wrapped me even closer to him. It felt good to be so close to him, hence him without a shirt. But, I wasn't complaining.
We laid there watching TV, like the previous night. Except tonight, there was a certain vibe in the air that was different from last night. It felt like a lot of sexual tension with a little bit of our love mixed in. Or that's what it felt to me. Maybe there was more love but, I couldn't tell at the moment.
As we laid there, we spoke nothing at all yet, everything needed to be said seemed to be said. We were in bliss.
I felt his lips touch my hair and he took a deep breath, sighing. I glanced up to see what the matter was and his lips were on mine instantly.
I thought I was used to his touch but, I wasn't. The energy that flew between us wasn't like anytime before. It was different. He seemed to have something on his mind. On instinct, I put myself into his control.
He deepened the kiss.
