Ok, I'm continuing this story for a little longer and I'll see how it goes from there. Longer chapter! And more Edward Bella!!
Disclaimer: I don't own the characters or the plot.
Bella's POV:
I stormed down the stairs and looked around to see if anyone needed help. It was pretty hard, since Alice's WHOLE family was here. I decided to start in the kitchen. When I walked in I saw an old lady and another lady who looked like she was in her late 30's.
"Hey, sweetheart, could you get the sugar?" the old lady asked.
"Yeah." I answered curtly. I was still annoyed by today's incident.
"Well, what has you down in the dumps?" the old lady asked kindly.
"You wanna know?" I asked, letting out all the steam. "It's that California monkey! Who does he think he his, throwing himself around everyone here. Can he ever take no for an answer?" I placed the sugar on the coffee tray, fuming.
The old lady seemed a little panicked by my words. "Well…he's from California, right?"
"So?" I countered. "Does that give him all the access to be a total and complete idiot?! I don't blame him. His parents are probably the ones who brought him up like that."
"Shh!" the old lady hissed.
"Why should I shush?!" I was getting really frustrated now. "You just wait until I meet his parents! I will make sure they learn a thing or two about parenting skills!" I growled through my teeth. I turned towards the other lady in the kitchen, who was listening quietly the whole time. "Am I right?"
She nodded silently.
The old lady placed her hand on my arm. "Do you know she is?"
"Yeah. One of Alice's aunts." I said, shrugging.
The old lady sighed. "Yes. She is also the California monkey's mother."
I gasped and the blood flowed to my face. I turned towards Edward's mother and she just stared back at me, her smooth face expressionless.
I gave her a small, apologetic smile and took the coffee tray and rushed away.
Oh, great. I think I was starting to make enemies with Alice's family now…
I walked quickly down the hallway. In my rush, I tripped over my feet and fell into someone. The coffee spilled allover them.
I looked up to see it was Mike, Alice's brother. Coffee streamed down his face and shirt. He stared back at me with blank eyes. He licked his lips. "No sugar." He muttered.
He looked down at the sugar cup on my tray and poured that on him too. I gasped, shocked. He licked his lips again. "Perfect." And we walked away.
I seriously had a problem of getting in trouble with Alice's family…
Edward's POV:
I blasted my iPod and ran out of my room with my shirt and swim trunks on. I was going out to Alice's swimming pool.
I was dancing around in the hallway when I ran into Ms. Prettyface, a.k.a. - Bella. She looked pretty annoyed to see me. Her face was so cute when she was mad. I laughed and she looked even angrier. She walked past me and I easily followed her pace.
"Hey, I got the news from the kitchen! You called me a monkey?!" I laughed as I remember Alice's grandmother telling me about that.
"Oh, no! Of course not!" Bella said sweetly. Why was she lying? "I called you a California monkey." She growled. Oh…
"Why?" I asked with mock sadness and pouted my lips.
She turned towards me with a plastered smile on her face. "Oh, I'm so sorry. I should have called you a gorilla!" she yelled through her teeth.
As soon as she said that, Mike was standing next to me. "Who called me?" he asked.
Bella screamed in frustration and ran down the steps. We followed her, imitating a monkey. She marched into the kitchen to help with lunch. Mike and I were at the bottom of the steps when Alice suddenly appeared.
"Move over." She demanded.
"Nope!" Mike and I said at the same time, and we crossed our hands over our chests.
"Idiots." She muttered and slammed past us. I stared after her in shock. I turned back to Mike. "Since when did she get so strong??" I asked incredulously.
Mike chuckled. "I don't know, but I have to admit- it is kind of scary. And I have to live with her!" We shuddered.
I shook my head and walked out to the pool. Little kids were already there. And so were some of Alice's cousins. I gulped.
One of them walked towards me. "Hey, handsome. Wanna go for a swim?" She winked and pulled me into the pool.
SPLASH!!
"Ah!" someone yelped.
I resurfaced and looked over to see this hot strawberry blonde with her mouth wide open. Her shirt was really soaked.
I smirked and got out of the pool, leaving that slutty blonde staring after me in shock.
"Hey." I pulled of my crooked smile and ran my hand through my hair. "I'm Edward. Wanna go for a swim?" I smirked as I used the exact same words Alice's cousin used. I heard a frustrated shriek, but ignored it.
"Tanya." She smiled and leaned forward and whispered against my cheek. "Sure…"
I smirked and grabbed her around the waist and jumped into the water.
Finally, someone easy to play around with. And she wasn't stubborn.
I was wrapped only in a towel as I walked towards my room with my cell phone in one hand.
"Yeah, dad! Washington is pretty cool. Not as sunny as California, but cool."
"Well that's nice to know. Hey, listen I gotta go, I'll call you back later, ok?"
"K, bye daddy!"
"Bye sonny!" he chuckled and the line went dead.
I walked into my room and almost removed my towel when I saw Bella walking out of the closet.
"OH MY GOD!" we both screamed at the same time. She turned around and I wrapped the towel more securely around my waist.
"What are you doing here?" I asked, surprised. Did she actually fall for me? I smirked. Of course she did. What else would she be doing in my closet. Score! I got you now, Ms. Prettyface.
"Shouldn't I be asking you that? This is my room, you idiot! Why are you stripping in my room?!" she hissed.
I looked around and realized that it was, in fact Bella's room. Shit.
"Oh…" I muttered, sheepishly. Damn! In all my years, this is the first time I let my guard down in front of a girl. "S-sorry. I uh…came here by mistake. I meant to go to um…my room. Um…you didn't see anything, right?"
Her back was still turned to me and she waved her hand. "No, no. Nothing. Just leave."
I sighed and thanked all gods known and unknown.
"Alright! See ya!" I whistled an unknown tune and walked towards the door. "Hey, nice horse!" I complemented on the wooden horse on her mirror table.
"Don't touch that, I'll get really mad at you!" she hissed through her teeth.
I smiled impishly and walked back. "Thanks for the information." I said formally and patted the horse's head. She turned around and hissed.
"Edward. EDWARD!! I said Don't. Touch. It!!" She growled through her teeth.
I smiled and grabbed the horse and ran around the room with it, making loud horse noises. She chased after me, trying to grab it. I ran and jumped onto the bed, holding the horse out of her reach. It was pretty amusing to watch reach around me to grab the horse. Every time her smooth skin brushed across mine, I would feel this warm tingly feeling.
After a few minutes, she gave up and stomped her foot. I could see her eyes were beginning to tear up.
She sighed. "My brother gave this to me." She said in a soft and shaky voice. Her soft lips fell into a pout and I had this strong urge to kiss the pout away. It was a very heart wrenching sight. I almost gave it back to her. Almost. She held her hands out in front of her. "Please?" She asked softly.
"You brother gave this to you?" I asked softly.
She nodded her head silently, shakily.
I lowered my hand and held it out to the other side of the bed. She walked around and almost took it from my hands when I dropped it.
She screamed, shutting her eyes and closed her ears, as if a bomb were about to erupt. Big deal. Couldn't she just buy another horse?
Before it touched the ground, my hand shot out and caught it. I smirked and nuzzled the horse's nose against her neck.
She peeked opened her eyes and looked at the wooden piece. She glared at me and grabbed the horse as she pointed towards the door. "Get out!" She ordered. Her voice was still slightly shaky, and I kind of felt like jerk for doing that to her.
I walked out the door and she was about to close it when I held the doors open with my hands.
"One more thing." I said. She sighed and looked up at me, her wide, chocolate brown eyes telling me to continue. "I'm confused. Normally if I constantly teased a girl like that, she would slap me across the face…But you didn't. Does that mean you're feeling a little…something for me?" I raised my eyebrow gave her my crooked smile. She gasped. "Something!" I sang.
She shook her head and glared back up at me. "Nothing!" she growled and shoved me out. The door was slammed right in my face.
She totally feels it.
I smiled and was about to walk off when I noticed that my towel was caught in the door. I tried to pull it out, but it wouldn't come. I saw Mike walking down the hall in only a towel and smiled.
Mike looked at me like I was insane. "Hey, cover up, man. Go get a towel."
I smirked. "Alright." I pulled his towel off and wrapped it around my waist. "I'll go find a towel for you." I ran down the hall before he caught up. Suddenly I heard the scream and a thud.
"Well, at least I got someone to "fall" for me. Even if it was grandma…" I heard him mutter. I just shook my head and laughed.
Ah, Mike…
I was emailing my dad, when I felt someone's hand cup my cheek.
"Eddie!!"
I turned to see Tanya's face inches from mine. "Hey, babe." I muttered and turned back to the computer.
She giggled and pulled rose out her back pocket and held it right in front of my face. That was obnoxious. I grabbed it and stuffed it behind my ear.
"Eddie! Why did you put it there??" She pouted and stroked my face. Even more obnoxious… Damn, what was it with Alice and her cousins?
"I have no other place for it." I muttered.
"Oh, you silly!" she laughed.
"I know." I replied, curtly.
"What are you doing?"
What's it to you?
"Emailing my dad."
"Why?" she asked. Was she always this nosy?
"What, don't you love you dad?" I sidetracked.
"Oh, I love my dad!" She gushed. "He buys me everything. I love him as much as I love chocolate cake!"
"Chocolate cake! I really like chocolate cake, too!!" I smiled. Well, we had one thing in common. But that didn't cut the fact that she was really annoying.
She gasped and pecked my cheek. She turned around to walk away, and I wiped the kiss right off my face. I had a strange feeling about how it would feel if those were Bella's soft, pink lips…I shook the thought away, and continued emailing my dear, sweet father.
Whom I love as much as chocolate cake. I snorted. What a brat.
Bella's POV:
I was sitting in the kitchen with Alice as we ate some truffles to 'see which one was the best'. That was just our excuse to eat them.
Suddenly a strawberry blonde walked in. Alice grimaced. She leaned over to whisper in my ear. "That's Tanya, one of my cousins."
Alice straightened up and plastered a fake smile on her face. "Hey, Tanya. What are you doing in the kitchen?"
Tanya danced around, gathering some ingredients. "I'm making a chocolate cake."
Alice perked up. "Who is it for?"
"For the person I want to make it for." She muttered offhandedly.
Alice grimaced at her.
I stood up. "You don't have to. I can make it for you." I offered.
She turned around and rolled her eyes. "Whatever. Mind your own business." She turned towards Alice who was still scowling at her. "Where's the sugar?"
Alice pointed towards the cupboard and Tanya opened it. Mike walked in with a big box full of pots and bumped into Tanya. She glared at Mike and grabbed a glass jar from the cupboard. "Watch it!" She hissed.
Mike sighed and placed the box on the table and sat next to me, trying some of the truffles. He grimaced towards Tanya and started grumbling under her breath. I guess Tanya wasn't really the charmer in this family.
I continued eating the truffles and watching Tanya when I suddenly realized something.
I nudged Alice's shoulder. "Hey," I whispered. "She got the salt, not the sugar." Alice stopped grimacing and Mike stopped grumbling. They both gasped and smirked. They thought this was funny?? Not for the person who was going to eat it.
Tanya began dumping the salt into the cake mix.
"Hey that's—"
Alice pulled me back and smiled evilly. "Mind your own business." She quoted from Tanya's early words. I really felt bad for this person who was going to eat a salty chocolate cake.
I watched in horror as Tanya's concoction grew into a huge mess. Mike and Alice looked like they were really enjoying the show.
Finally, Tanya was done and added nuts and sprinkles to the cake. Like that would make it any better. She placed the cake on a fancy plate and walked past us, singing, "Eddie!!"
We gasped.
This time, it was my turn to smirk as Alice and Mike stared in horror. "She's going to poison him!" Mike screamed, panicking. They were going to run after her, when I stuck my arm in front of them.
"Mind your own business." I smirked and walked past them. "Eddie!!" I sang, relishing the fact he was going to be eating poison today.
Edward's POV:
I walked into the dining room and saw a few brownies there. I smiled and sat down in one of the chairs, shoving four brownies in my mouth at once.
"Eddie!!"
Aw, crap. Does she ever leave me alone??
She walked in with a big chocolate cake. Hey, she's actually useful this time.
"I made it just for you, Eddie. I put chocolate chips, nuts, sprinkles, and all my love into it." She gushed. I rolled my eyes and stuck my fork into the cake. I was about to put it in my mouth when I was interrupted by a grunt.
I looked up and saw Mike standing at the door way, shaking his head and sliding his hand across his neck. What? I shrugged and then saw Alice staring at me in horror. She shook her head as well. Then Bella came and pulled them back, smirking. What was going on?
Mike broke out of her grasp and ran into the room. "Hey, Edward." He said, coolly. "Isn't there a huge difference between sugar and salt. Even though you can't see it?" He said eyeing the cake.
I finally got it. I looked up at the doorway to see a relieved Alice and an annoyed Bella. She was glaring daggers at Mike. I laughed at Bella's expression and she turned her glare towards me.
"Mike, go away! Eddie's trying to enjoy his chocolate cake!" Tanya complained.
Right at that moment, Tanya's dad walked in. He saw Tanya sitting next to me and smiled. "Hello, Edward. You're Edward Masen Sr.'s son, right? I'm his business parter. Mr. Denali. But you can go ahead and call me Eleazer."
"Hey, Eleazer! Here, try some of this lovely cake your daughter made!" I smirked and pushed the plate towards her dad.
Eleazer smiled and shook his head. "No, no! She made it for you. You eat it first." He pushed the plate back.
"I insist." I said in my most polite voice. "You're older than me. Take some first." I pushed it back to him.
He chuckled. "So respectful." He complemented.
He cut a piece and stuck his fork in it. He shoved the piece into his mouth and froze.
"So, daddy!" Tanya smiled. "How is it? Tell me!"
Her dad swallowed the piece painfully and looked at her, smiling sweetly. "It's…very unique, darling."
Mike and I coughed to muffle our laughter. I high-fived him under the table.
"Don't eat it all, daddy! Leave some for Eddie!"
"No, no!" Her dad objected. "Umm…" Suddenly, Alice's dad walked into the door.
Eleazer smiled. "Jason! You should eat this chocolate cake my daughter made. It's really amazing, and as my brother, I want you to have a nice taste of it."
Uncle Jason smiled. "Oh, you were always my favorite brother, Eleazer."
Tanya frowned. "Hey, leave some for Eddie!" she whined. I rolled my eyes and hoped I would never taste her concoction.
Uncle Jason eyed the cake greedily and picked out a huge piece. He stuck a large portion in his mouth and gasped. Mike pulled the fork out of his mouth. "Best cake you've tasted dad? You think it needs a little more salt?" He asked with a smirk.
Uncle Jason turned to glare at Mike. I laughed and walked out of the room, ignoring Tanya's whiny voice. I saw Bella at the doorway and smirked. "Thank you, Bella. You saved my life. I was almost poisoned today, and I am oh so lucky to be alive." She grimaced and turned her head away. "I owe you one, babe." I nudge her arm.
She glared at me and stomped away. I laughed. She was so hot when she was mad.
Bella's POV:
Ok, so Edward didn't die today. Whatever. I had more important matters at hand. There was a big pile of everyone's laundry and I thought I would deal with that first.
Some music was playing on the radio and I recognized it as "Pocketful of Sunshine" by Natasha Bedingfield. I began dancing around and singing along with the lyrics. At the same time, I managed to get some of the laundry done. I was putting the clothes in when I saw a black T-Shirt. I recognized it as the shirt Edward wore when I first met him. I grimaced at the memory.
"That California monkey! I know there is a tail growing out of him!" I grumbled out loud.
I took the shirt and imagined it was Edward. I began dunk it in the water, squeeze it, thrash it, shake it…anything that would cause Edward pain.
I hung the shirt on a hook on the door and muttered, "The name I hate the most…Edward. I swear on my own brother!" I blew on my fists and spun around to punch the shirt when I saw Edward himself, standing there. He looked pretty upset.
I gulped put my arms down to my side. "H-how long have you been here?" I asked, timidly
He smirked and started dancing around, imitating me. "I got a pocket, got a pocketful of sunshine. I got a love and I know that it's all mine oh…woah." Great, he saw my embarrassing dance.
I scowled and turned around to see Tanya walking down the hall. I smirked. "Oh, Eddie!" I sang.
He stopped dancing and panicked. "Where?!" He mouthed.
I pointed out the door.
He looked around and hid behind the washing machine. "Shhh!" he hissed. I rolled my eyes as Tanya walked in.
"Hey, you." She looked at me. Ya I have a name, woman. "Have you seen Eddie."
"I don't know." I said, bored. "But he's not behind that washing machine." I said, pointing towards Edward's head. He glared at me and plastered a smile on his face as he crawled out behind the washing machine.
"Eddie! There you are!!" She giggled. I rolled my eyes.
"Yeah…" He muttered.
"Oh, you silly. I'm inviting my friends over tonight and I wanted to invite you to meet them! Don't forget to come!" For some reason, I felt really mad when I saw her throw herself on Edward like that. Who did she think she was?
She pecked him on the cheek and I mashed my teeth together.
She ran off, and Edward rolled his eyes. He turned towards me and smirked at my angry expression. "Jealous, Bells?"
I hissed and walked away.
Edward's POV:
"This is Stacy, Tracy, Lacy, Macy, Leslie, Stephanie, Jenny, Ally, Gabby, and Sadie." They all smiled coyly at me, and I smiled crookedly back. This was a fun get together.
"Damn girl!" Mike exclaimed. "Do you only make friends with girls who's names end with an "ee" sound??"
She grunted and stomped on his foot. "Shut up!" Then she sat down and had a dumb look on her face. It was pretty funny. "Where was I…?"
"Eddie!!" Everyone chorused.
"Oh ya!" She giggled and clung to my arm. "Eddie is from California! His parents own a big business and my daddy is partners with his daddy, and—"
"Hey, Edward!" Alice came running into the room with Bella who brought in a tray of assorted cookies. I looked at Alice pleadingly, and she giggled. She sat down in a spare chare and Bella sat on the arm rest. "Hey, guys. This is my friend Bella. She baked cookies for us." Bella blushed and smiled sheepishly. Her blush was so beautiful and made her exquisite face colorful and full of life.
"Aw, that's so sweet, Bella." I said, mockingly. She smiled mockingly back at me.
"I'll give it to Eddie!" Tanya said as she glared and Bella and grabbed the tray away from her. What was wrong with her? "Here, Eddie!"
"Thanks." I muttered.
"I didn't make it, though." She pouted.
Mike smirked. "That's why he said 'thanks.'" I laughed along with him and high-fived him.
"Shut up!" She yelled and then pouted. Her dumb look was back. "Where was I…?"
"Eddie!!" Everyone chorused again.
"Oh right! Eddie's really rich! His daddy owns one of the largest financial companies in the world! I'm rich too! My daddy is his daddy's business partner. Actually, everyone sitting here is rich!" She smiled evilly and turned towards Bella. "Hey, what about you?"
Bella smiled sadly, and her face seemed to hold a wise look. "I'm also a millionaire." Bella said softly.
"Oh really? How much money do you own?" Tanya smirked. What was up with her, couldn't she learn to leave people alone?
"10 cows, 6 horses, 23 chickens, 9 pigs and a small farmhouse. But on top of all that, I have the love of my big brother. That alone is worth more that a million dollars to me."
Everyone "awwwww"ed at that as I stared at her in wonder. She seemed so innocent, pure, and…loving. This was a side that I had never seen. Bella wasn't just beautiful on the outside, but also on the inside.
Alice smiled at me and told us they were going to get some shut eye. "Bye, Eddie!" Alice sang as I grimaced at her. I was seriously going to have to get rid of that nickname.
"And Eddie has this big beach house that was designed by his mom and also…" I rolled my eyes and droned her chatter out. This was going to be a long night…
Bella's POV:
I rushed around the house, trying to help everyone with wedding preparations. Today was a hectic day, and my feet were killing me. That was mostly from the shopping trip with Alice. We went to every bakery in town to find the perfect cake. It was really, really frustrating. Tonight was a "little" get together party and there was a lot of setting up to do. But it was nothing near little. Especially with Jasper and his family coming in.
I was helping with the tables in the dining hall when someone came up behind me and poked my sides. I squealed. (A/N- I actually HATE it when people do that to me. It makes get all spastic and I scream. People think it's funny. For them…ok sorry. Moving on with story…) I turned around to see Edward smiling impishly. "What do you want, Edward?" I hissed.
"Oh, I just wanted to know if you are getting married to someone any time soon." He asked. There was some anxiousness under his nonchalant voice.
"No, why?"
"Oh," He sounded slightly relieved and his voice went back to mocking. "I just know this guy who would be perfect for you. He owns 10 cows, 6 horses, 23 chickens, 9 pigs and a small farmhouse."
I rolled my eyes and saw Mike walking down with a pitcher filled with Cranberry Juice. I smirked.
"Hey, Mike!" He turned towards me. "Can you come here for a second?"
He walked down to me. "Yeah?"
"Can you tell me the time?" I asked innocently.
He turned the hand that held the pitcher to look at his wrist and all the juice fell on Edward's shirt. His face was priceless. I burst out laughing.
"Sorry." Mike said. "I don't have a watch."
"YOU DON'T HAVE A BRAIN EITHER!!" Edward yelled.
I laughed as he stalked off, leaving Mike just plain confused.
Edward's POV:
I growled under my breath. Stupid Mike with his stupid brain and that stupid pitcher…I totally had something going on with Bella and then he had to dump that juice allover my shirt. And cranberry juice! I wrinkled my nose. Who drinks that stuff anyway? I changed my shirt and made it downstairs, just in time for the party.
I looked around and made sure that clingy brat wasn't there. I shuddered. Can she ever leave a person alone with their peace? I noticed Tanya flirting with some guy. She was wearing this really small black dress that was really low cut and was joined only by strings on her back. Slut….
"Hey, Bella! Over here!" I heard Alice squeal. I turned to see Bella walking towards Alice. She looked gorgeous. Stunning. Breath-taking. She was a goddess sent from the heavans. Her creamy skin glowed under the night sky and she was sheathed in a knee-length, low cut, blue halter dress. It showed off her legs, cleavage, and killer curves. But at the same time, she still looked pure and innocent. Unlike Tanya…Bella walked me with a smug grin. She flipped her hair across her shoulder and her mahogany locks brushed past my face, intoxicating me with her wonderful scent. Strawberry…freesia….I don't know, but it was simply mouth watering. I looked at her when I noticed something about the hooks on the back of her dress. Uh oh…
Bella's POV:
I changed into the dress and smiled as I looked in the mirror. I actually looked pretty good. Alice let my hair down normally this time. This was pretty shocking, since she always did some random design with my thick locks. But I wasn't complaining. I was so glad when I bought the flats. No death traps, so I would have to worry about falling flat on my face with every step I take.
I walked downstairs to see a huge crowd. God, was Jasper's whole family here? The hall looked like we were hosting the inaugural ball.
"Hey, Bella! Over here!" I turned to see Alice waving at me. I smiled and walked towards her. On my way, I noticed Edward staring at me. He looked strikingly handsome in a black tux. His bronze hair was as usual, tousled, but still handsome. His green eyes seemed to glaze over. I smirked and walked past him, flipping my hair over my shoulder.
I stood next to Alice and she introduced me to her other friends.
"Alice! Can you come here for a sec.?"
Alice turned towards the source of the sound and saw her mom waving at her. She sighed and smiled apologetically at us. "Sorry, guys. I'll be back. You girls can get acquainted with each other." She smiled again and walked away.
"So how long have you known Alice?" The one named Angela asked.
"Since kindergarten." I chuckled.
"Wow! That's long." Lindsey gasped.
"How long have you—" I couldn't finish because all of a sudden, Edward was standing behind me with his chest pressed against my back. I gasped at the warm electric shock that radiated between us. I fought the urge to lean back into him.
The girls looked me with wide eyes. "Is that your boyfriend??" She asked.
I shook my head furiously. "No! No. He's not. Um…Edward." I turned my head and hissed under my breath. "Go away, what the hell are you doing??"
He didn't budge from his place.
Angela frowned at Edward. "I thought Tanya said you were her boyfriend…"
Edward looked shocked. "She said what?" He began to scowl and Angela looked taken back. "Ok, so she was lying?" Edward growled and shook his head. I thought he would walk away now, but he still stood behind me.
I sighed and tried to walk away, but he followed me, still pressing his chest tightly against my back.
"Edward!" I hissed. "Go away!"
He still followed me. Stubborn pig. "You need to come aside with me." He muttered.
I gasped. "What? No. You sick pig!"
He sighed, exasperated. "That's not what I meant. Just come aside. It's not for me. It's for you."
I rolled my eyes. "Why should I?"
"The hook on the back of your dress is undone."
I stopped walking and froze. "What?" But I shook my head. "No. You're lying." He just wanted to annoy me. Of course, that California monkey.
Then he said something that shocked me. "You have a birth mark on your back." I froze. "Now do you believe me?"
I reached my hand behind my back and felt that the hook was undone. I gasped as the heat filled my cheeks. Edward gave me an amused look. I glared back and turned to press by back against the wall. I told Alice to get a zipped up dress. Ugh!
"Do you want me to fix it?" He smirked. Oh, the cheek of him. "No!" I growled. "Go get Alice for me."
He shrugged and went to get Alice. I looked at his retreating form and smiled lightly. Maybe he wasn't the Edward I always thought he was.
A few minutes later, he came back with Alice. She walked up to me and fixed the hook. "There. I would put a safety pin, but that would look tacky. So I just secured it really tightly, ok?"
I smiled. "Thanks, Alice." She smiled and ran off, probably to find Jasper. I looked around trying to see where Edward was. For some reason, I missed his teasing remarks. Strange. I sighed and looked down.
"Looking for me?" Someone tapped my shoulder. I gasped and turned around. It was Edward, and his stupid, beautiful crooked grin.
"Yeah." I said sarcastically. "I wanted to say that even if you're a monkey, you're a good monkey."
He smiled childishly like he won the lottery. "Oh! So if I got promoted from California monkey to good monkey…does that mean…'something' is starting to develop?"
I groaned and rolled my eyes. "Nothing!" I growled and walked away.
I was walking towards Alice and Jasper to congratulate them when a loud blaring guitar sound came out. I stumbled and bumped into someone. Edward's mom…I blushed and muttered my apologies and turned to see who was that goddamn person who blasted the guitar solo. I looked up at the stage and saw Edward Masen himself.
Of course…
Then he grabbed the mike. Oh no…No. If his guitar playing was this loud and obnoxious…please tell me his singing was a little better.
We're both looking for something
We've been afraid to find
It's easier to be broken
It's easier to hide
Hm. The California monkey doesn't have that bad of a voice.
Looking at you,holding my breath,
For once in my life,I'm scared to death,
I'm taking a chance,letting you inside.
I rolled my eyes and he smirked at the double meaning. I grimaced at him.
Feeling alive all over again,
As deep as the sky, under my skin
Like being in love, she says
For the first time
Maybe I'm wrong,
But I'm feeling right where I belong
With you tonight
Like being in love
To feel for the first time
Love? More like pure hatred, that burns through my head. Everyone was beginning to dance now. Great. The California monkey is beginning manipulate everyone.
The world that I see inside you
Waiting to come to life
Waking me up to dreaming
Reality in your eyes,
The reality is my hatred to you, butthole.
Looking at you,
Holding my breath,
For once in my life
I'm scared to death,
I'm taking a chance,
Letting you inside.
I'm feeling alive all over again
As deep as the sky that's under my skin
Like being in love, she says, for the first time
Maybe I'm wrong, I'm feeling right
Where I belong with you tonight
Like being in love to feel for the first time
We're crashing
Into the unknown
We're lost in this
But it feels like home
I rolled my eyes and turned away and gasped. Standing at the doorway was Tyler Crowley. He was standing next to Alice, smirking at her. Alice looked like she was close to tears. I looked around to find Jasper, but I didn't see him.
I'm feeling alive all over again
As deep as the sky that's under my skin
Like being in love, she says, for the first time
Maybe I'm wrong, I'm feeling right
