I own nothing. Stephenie Meyer owns all.
Rosalie POV.
The rest of the week had gone by uneventfully since the guy's first day of work. It was now Saturday, so they'd been here a full week. The morning had started off like any other, a wordless phone call and some cursing from Jasper who'd got up to answer it, because I couldn't be bothered to get out of bed.
He came back into my room not long after with a glum look on his face. "What's up Jasper?" I asked as I yawned.
I watched as he sat on his side of the bed and revealed a letter that he'd found at the door. The both of us stared at it for a wile until I grabbed it and opened it up. It simply read,
2, plus 2,plus 2, makes 6.
"Well someone knows how to count." Jasper joked beside me as he attempted to raise my spirits.
"Jasper, the creep knows that you, Emmett and Edward are here. Aren't you scared, or worried or anything?" I asked as I got up, while Jasper stretched out on the bed and threw the letter to the floor.
"Rose, if all that creep does is send letters and ring the house, then what have we got to be afraid about?" I looked back to see him yawn and close his eyes.
I suppose he's got a point there… I thought as I showered.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My back clicked as I stretched on the sofa. Mmmmm, that felt good! I thought as I relaxed back into the sofa. I began to click my knuckles and got a soft smack on the thigh from Bella. I was lying on the sofa with my feet on Bella's lap. She was reading some book from the library as was Edward, who was sat on the floor at Bella's feet.
Jasper and Emmett were sat bouncing on the floor in front of the TV while they played on their games console that they'd plugged in earlier in the week.
Alice meanwhile was in her element as she painted Edwards toe nails. He'd put up a good fight to be fair, but when Alice had her mind set on something, there was no stopping her. Eventually, Edward gave in, allowing her to continue as long as she took it all off once she was done.
I watched Alice as she deliberated in her mind on which colour to use on Edward toe nails now that she'd tidied them to perfection. In her hands she held a one shocking pink bottle and in the other she held a disgusting shade of lime green.
I waved my arms and grabbed Alice's attention. I pointed to the pink bottle. I silently nudged Bella who chose the pink as well. Alice's face lit up immediately with a look of sheer menace. Poor Edward, I'd be surprised if she finished with just his toenails. I smiled as I thought of what the outcome could look like.
I got up and headed to my bedroom. I pulled on my coat and headed towards the door. "I'm going down the road to get a DVD; I'll be back in fifteen minutes!" I called over the noise of Jasper and Emmett's battle cries.
"Rose, wait…..someone has to….Die Emmett die!!….go with you" Jasper somehow finished after drawing his attention away from the game for a few seconds.
I tipped my head back, looking up at the ceiling, looking like a five year old. "Jasper, it's a five minute walk there, five minutes to find a DVD and then five minutes to get back. I'll be fine!" I protested as I opened the door.
"Fine! I'm timing you!!" I heard Jasper's yell from behind me, "And if you're not back, I'll come looking!!"
I made it to the DVD rental store in less than five minutes and started browsing through the new releases. As I read the synopsis of an action film, I felt someone tap my shoulder. If that's Jasper, I swear to God I'll…my threat was cut off as I turned to see Tyler standing in front of me.
"Hi Rosalie, how are you? I though I saw you come in earlier." I heard him say cheerfully as he span a DVD in his hands nervously.
"I'm good thanks Tyler" I answered. Boring boring, lame conversation. Someone save me!! I pleaded in my mind while I watched Tyler's face contort in concentration. Ohhh great, he's trying to think of something to say, and he looks like he's in pain. I took this as my cue to escape and said, "I've got to got Tyler, everyone's waiting for me back home."
Before I got more than three steps away, I heard his voice behind me, sounding hopeful, "I'll walk you back if you want, I have to walk that way anyway." Damn, I can't say no, I have no excuse!
"Okay, thanks" I answered grudgingly as I walked off to pay. I made my way back to the door and walked out to find Tyler waiting with me with a huge smile on his face.
"You didn't have to do this Tyler" I said, secretly thinking, I didn't want you to walk me home Tyler!!
I watched him as he shrugged his shoulders and said, "I've known you most of my life, I just want to make sure you get back safely."
Ok, now I feel bad because he's being really nice! I thought as I smiled back at him. The conversation soon dried up, but thankfully, I could see the door to my house. As we got nearer I heard Tyler ask, "Are you going to the Halloween party on Wednesday?"
"Where is it, and is it fancy dress?" I asked him.
"It's at that new club down the road, and apparently if you dress up, you get a free drink." He responded smiling.
Awww bless, now he's getting his hopes up that I'll be there! "I'll talk to Alice, Bella and the guys and let you know when I see you next" I said back, hoping that he'd get the hint. "I have to go now Tyler, thanks for walking me home, see you soon" I called back at him as I walked up the steps.
I made it through the door to find everyone in the same place that they were in before, except for Edward, who looked in pain as Alice was painting the nails on his hands. Haha! Sucker!
I kicked off my shoes and took off my coat while Jasper and Emmett disconnected the games console and connected the DVD player. "What did you get?" Emmett called over his shoulder while he tried to untangle some cables.
I sat down next to Bella on the sofa with a smile on my face as I announced, "300!" I watched Emmett and Jasper high-5 as Alice and Bella groaned. I turned to them and said excitedly, "You'll love it, the guys are all half dressed and look like body builders!"
I chucked the DVD at Jasper while Bella and Alice caught my excitement and praised me for my genius thinking. I mentioned the Halloween party to them and they all immediately declared that we were going. Edward soon silenced Alice's rambling about which costume she could wear by threatening to put nail varnish in her hair.
"Who told you?" Bella asked me as she walked to the kitchen to turn off the lights and bring over some snacks, wine and beer.
"Tyler, he was at the store at the same time as me and asked me if I was going as he walked me home." I answered truthfully.
"Tyler?" I saw Alice say while shaking her head, before continuing, "He was probably trying to ask you out on a date Rose!"
"Just drop it Alice, or we wont be going." I threatened as Bella returned with the snacks and drinks.
She sat back down next to me, and grabbed Edward's shoulders to let him know that he could sit back against her legs again while Emmett sat down next to me and Jasper and Alice took the other sofa.
Once everyone had their drinks in hand and snacks nearby, I asked Bella to turn off the lamp next to her, and the room then descended into darkness. As the film began, I felt Emmett's arm move to rest on top of the sofa behind my shoulders.
I looked over at him, as he whispered, "Good choice, maybe I'll dress up as one of those warrior guys for Halloween?" I could see the twinkle in his eyes and the broad smile on his face.
I tried to concentrate on the film, but found it hard. Emmett's hand had fallen from the back of the chair, to my shoulders about halfway through the film. Ever since then, he'd been rubbing soft circles on the top of my arm with his index finger.
With that subtle distraction and Emmett's earlier comment about wearing a warrior costume, I had no idea what was going on in the film. I kept picturing Emmett's muscled, perfect chest that had been on show every morning since the guys had arrived.
I still need more ideas for their Halloween costumes!!! The Halloween chapter will be coming up after the next one! I'm running out of time people!!
Ideas so far have been great, but I could do with more!
Next chapter should be a fun one, hope I do it justice!!
Over & Out for now-its 2am in Wales
