Ahhhh yes I know! It's been forever since I've updated, sorry about that! But hey here's one more chapter…I tried to make up for all that time!
After the skim boarding, I wasn't too sure I wanted to try anything else. I liked having all my body parts, and these sports seem like an easy way to injure them. Everyone had eventually stopped their laughing fits, and came to apologize, though Emmett could hardly finish his sentence "Im –snort- Sor-" before laughing again. Fortunately for me, he got a slap in the head by Rosalie. Unfortunately, it didn't help, his laughter just spread like wild fire again to all of them, except Edward, who was trying hard to hold it in. Then Alice tried to get me back on the board and try again, which failed to seem like such a pleasant idea to me. Of course she and Edward teamed up and put me on the spot saying I promised to do human things.
"Thanks guys, but I've already had the human experience of humiliation and broken bones," and with that I plopped down onto the towel next to our stylish umbrella.
"Oh don't worry Bella; humiliation wont be just a human experience while I'm around," Emmett was now standing with Alice and Edward, blocking the sun.
I shook my head and turned to grab a water bottle out of the cooler.
"Thanks Emmett," I mumbled before taking a sip, and moved my towel out of the shade.
After I was satisfied I grabbed Edward's shirt lying on the sand, and placed it under my head.
"Hmmm, I missed the sun," I closed my eyes, and soaked in the warm Miami weather.
"Aww, come on Bella! Please, Emmett won't laugh again….maybe…PLEASE!" I opened my eyes slightly; only to see a pouting Alice sitting less than 2 inches away from me, and staring so fiercely, I was afraid she's burn a hole into my face.
I looked at Edward, and saw him smiling at me. I looked back at Alice and saw a face, daring me to deny her.
I let out a loud sigh, and sat up.
"Okay Alice, wh-" was all that I could get out.
"YAY, Thank you Bella! You'll have fun, just watch," Her lips were now stretched from ear to ear, smiling like a maniac.
Edward lowered himself down to a crouch, and stood less than an inch away from my face.
"Cheer up, my love. How about from now on; I'll do everything with you," he smiled my favorite crooked smile, and smothered me with those beautiful topaz eyes.
I let out the breath; I had been holding in, and nodded my head. I moved slowly closer to his lips, when all of a sudden I was swung up into the air, and over someone's shoulder. I smelt his sweet scent and automatically knew it was Edward.
"AHHH EHWAD! POT MAA DAANN IGGHHT IS INSANCE!" I screamed in jagged breaths. I would have screamed louder, but bouncing up and down; made speaking a bit difficult.
I leaned forward and did the first thing that came to mind. I steadied myself to his bare back, and bit down.
"OWWWW," I started rubbing my gums and teeth. Ok note to self: Don't bite a vampire.
I heard a booming sound, right before my butt met water and sand once again.
I looked up only to see Edwards's stunned face.
"Um Bella…did you just….BITE me?" his face was so adorable.
"Hey, hey, hey, that's the second time today I've been deprived of a kiss. There's only so much a girl can take, before she goes violent." I smirked and saw him lean down to kiss me. I quickly got up and sprinted away from him, laughing the entire time.
I didn't get far before two bare cold arms, wrapped around my waist and twirled me around. I felt cool skin rest against my back, and I remembered Edward had no shirt on, and I had a bikini on. At that moment he spun me around to face him, and my cheeks were now cherry red.
"I guess I owe you a kiss," Edwards breath hit my face, and I was starting to love Alice for dragging me here. I could live my entire life with a bikini, if it meant Edward would stay shirtless, and holding me.
"Come on! Break it up you two" This time Alice interrupted my moment. I turned and glared at her. At that moment a weird sound came from my chest.
"Isabella Marie Swan! You did not just growl at me!" I growled? Wow, I guess I did. Hanging out with 7 vampires was starting to rub off on me. Alice's face was just plain hilarious. She was amazed, and taken aback I would do such a thing. If it hadn't been for Edwards tight grasp on me, I would have been lying on the sand, laughing.
He let loose of my waist, but held on to my hand, while we walked and joined the family.
Rose was now snuggled next to Emmett on a towel. Alice was holding hands with Jasper; Carlisle was reading a book next to Esme, while she enjoyed the warmth of the sun.
"Ok guys what's next on the list of, how to embarrass Bella?" and with that Emmett and rose stood up.
"Everyone grab your board! We're going surfing!" we had our own boards? I looked towards where Alice, Jasper, Rose, and Emmett were walking and saw 8 surf boards lying on the sand. Each of them had a different design, and had a name.
Emmett picked up a long board that was black with a blonde woman in a bikini, sprawled over it. She had topaz colored eyes, and her hair flowed down to the small of her back. The bikini was red, and left little to the imagination. At the bottom of the board in red ink was the name "Emmett" in a cursive font.
"Nice Board Emmett" I chuckled, what else could have been on his board? He smirked back at me.
Rosalie picked up a white one that had beautiful red, white, and yellow roses drawn all over it. At the bottom of was her name in cursive.
Alice's was a beautiful salmon color. At the very top, there was a medium sized purse that read "Prada" in yellow. Like all others, her name was at the bottom in cursive.
Jaspers Board was a red orange color, and white stripes going diagonally across the board. At the bottom, was his name in yellow.
I turned and saw Edward holding a beautiful midnight blue colored board. At the very top was a single, large, white, Freesia. I skimmed the board all the way to the bottom, and saw in white cursive letters "Bella". I smiled and looked back at Edward.
"It's beautiful Edward, Thank you."
"Not as beautiful as you though," I smiled back at him and noticed he wasn't holding his board.
"Edward, aren't you going to surf?" I said quickly, scared I would be stuck in the water without him.
"Yes my love, but im not using mine. I promised I would do everything with you. Unless you would rather surf alone," He smirked, obviously hoping to see me do it alone.
"Nope, not a chance, Come on surfer boy. I've got some falling to do." We both chuckled all the way to the water.
Once my legs touched two feet of water, Edward swiftly picked me up, and sat me on top of his shoulders.
"Oh my god Edward, Is this was it feels like to be tall?" I felt like a 5 year old sitting on his shoulders.
"Yes Bella, this is the extraordinary experience of being tall," his words left with just a hint of sarcasm.
By the time we reached everyone, they were all sitting on their boards waiting. They were lined up side by side. Edward set the board down on top of the water, and pulled me up out of his shoulders, onto the board effortlessly. I copied the others and put each leg on the sides of the board, into the water. I looked down and saw 5 small fish swim towards shore. The water was so clear, and not to mention warm. This truly was paradise, might as well enjoy it before injuring myself. Then I noticed Edward had slid into the same position behind me. His arms snaked underneath mine, and joined at my stomach. Ah yes this was paradise.
"Ok Sis, Edwards behind you so unfortunately for me you won't fall. All you have to do is stand up put your right foot in front of you, and your left one in back. You need to be standing up at an angle, and your knees should be bent just a little. After that your hands should spread out, that way you have more balance. If you want to move to the right, slightly tip the board to the right. If you want to move to the left, slightly tip the board to the left. This board won't move too much since it's a long board. It shouldn't be too hard. Got it?" This time it was my soon to be goofball of a brother Emmett giving me instructions. His eyes had a glint in them, and his smirk was driving me insane. Why did this family enjoy my clumsiness so much?
"Gottcha," I said while nodding.
"Rose is going to call out the first wave, when you hear her say GO, do what I told you, alright?" I nodded my head once more and felt Edward lean in towards my right cheek.
"Emmett just dieing to see you fall, but don't worry I wont let you" I turned and kissed his cheek.
Right then Rosalie shouted, "GO!"
I shook my head and tried to do everything Emmett had instructed me too 3 minutes ago. I stood up on both feet, right in the front, left in the back, and bent my knees. I spread my arms out and balanced myself. After going through all the steps, and making sure I did everything, I lifted my head. It felt amazing. I was doing it, I was actually surfing! The feeling was simply wonderful. The salty mist was spraying in my face, and the sound of waves pushing us towards shore. I looked to my left and saw Alice walking back and forwards on her board. Jasper was at the tip of it and balancing at the edge. To my right Emmett was balancing on one arm and flexing the other arm. Further past Emmett, Rose was doing several modeling poses. I started laughing at the site, and almost lost balance. I looked forward again, and let in the smells of the ocean relax me. All too soon, we reached shore, and it was over.
"Woo!! Go Bella!!"
"Way to go Bells!
"You're a natural!"
"Great job my love!"
"You didn't fall!" The last voice had a bit of sadness in it, and of course it came from Emmett.
"Sorry Em, this surfer chicks not falling today!" I pointed to myself and gave him a huge grin. He gave me a proud grin back, and ruffled my hair.
"We'll see about that!"
"We sure will!" and with that I grabbed my board and started walking into the water. Emmett grabbed his and followed me.
"This time I will go alone!" I went as far into the war as Emmett and positioned myself.
"Ok Bella on my mark… GO!"
I quickly stood up and positioned myself, wobbling a little now that Edward wasn't helping me. My arms spread out and I concentrated on the shore. Don't fall, don't fall, don't fall, don't fall! I looked to my right and saw Emmett smirking at me, waiting for the fall. I wasn't about to give him that pleasure, and thought of a plan. I looked at the shore and saw rose. Apparently Alice had already known my plan and was whispering something into Rosalie's ear. She gave me the thumbs up and started. Emmett had noticed our quick exchange and was now staring at Rose. I looked back at the shore and saw Rosalie lying on the ground doing all sort of poses, and then standing back up and doing some more. In one of them she went on all four's and flipped her hair. Then she lied down and spread out her arm. Then she got up and pretended to model on a car. I looked back at Emmett and saw his mouth slowly dropping after each pose. I guess Rosalie's last pose was one to die over because Emmett lost his balance and tipped into the water. Yes! Victory! I started laughing and saw the entire family joining me. Edward was laughing, but at the same time massaging his temple. Whoops, I guess Emmett's thoughts got too much for him. Finally I met shore, and hopped off the board. I looked back at Emmett and saw him walking back to shore with his board under his arm.
"Look whose falling now!" I chuckled, and pointed and him.
"No fair Bella! You cheated!" Emmett's face was priceless.
I put my hands on my hips and shook my head, "You never said there were rules. How can I cheat with no rules?" I smirked.
Edward was holding my hand now, and laughing with me. Emmett had his arms crossed and looked like a 5 year old.
"Hey Emmett, how does it feel to lose to an 18 year old, clumsy, human?" Jasper said, enjoying Emmett's loss as much as me.
"Shut up" and with that we all burst into laughter once more. Maybe this day wouldn't be all bad.
