Chap 6 Dinner
BPOV
Well that was fun, and I've only begun. So at the table, Mom and Dad are sitting with Momma and Papa Hale, and Mr. and Mrs. Cullen, who I've learned are Carlisle and Esme. Then on my side we've got Jasper, myself, and then Alice at the end of the table. Along the other side is Emmett, Rose, and DB right across from me. What can I do next?
"Excuse me, but Bella, could you pass the bread this way?" Esme was so nice, and polite. How is DB her son?
"Sure thing Mrs. Cullen," hmm the bread is next to Eddie. "Eddie, could you hand me the bread so I can pass it to your mom?" With a sweet smile plastered on my face.
"Sure Princess, here." Let me just touch his hand in the transfer and maybe I'll get his heart racing.
Whoa! That was unexpected, he shocked me. I think.
"Thank you. Here ya go, Mrs. Cullen." By the look on his face, he felt the shock.
"Oh Bella dear, call me Esme."
"Okay! Sure Esme." So informal already, does this mean they like me? What is that boy doing now? Is he drawing in his food? Immature idiot. All the more reason for me to hate him. He thinks he's just the crap, but he's just a two year old.
AN: So I'm thinking a change in POV.

EDDIE? Really, she's really going to call me Eddie? Well I guess it's better than DB, that would raise some questions. I really didn't mean to call her Princess, but she just makes me so mad sometimes.
But boy, I don't know what it was that shocked me, but when I passed her the bread, she trailed her finger along my hand, and it tingled for a while. It's still burning a little, but in a good way. Is that even possible?
"Psst, Edward. You might wanna watch out. Bells has her mischievous grin on. I think she's planning something." Thank you Emmett.
"Thanks man, I'll keep an eye out." What could she possibly do during dinner?
"Uhm Rose," She's got the voice of a country angel. "It's getting kinda chilly over here, would you mind trading seats with me? I know it's rude to do during dinner, but I can't stand the cold." What?
"Sure Bells, anything to make you more comfortable. I think it'll be alright. Here, let me put your plate over here, and if you could put mine in your spot." Rose, well she's something to look at for sure, but she's nothing compared to Princess.
"Thanks Rose, I've already got chill bumps." Maybe she wants a jacket?
She's walking around the table, and getting ready to pass behind me. She just ran her finger across my neck! Is she naturally touchy-feely or what?
"Oh I'm sorry DB, I didn't mean to scare you." She's going to make me crazy whispering in my ear like that.
"Don't worry Princess, it was fine. By the way, would you like a jacket? I could go get you one. I mean only if you're still cold. But you don't have to, I was just asking." And there goes the word vomit, what is with me? Pull it together Edward! You're a ladies man, women love you. No girl is going to drive you mad. Not even Isabella.
"Not right now Eddie, but maybe later if we go outside." She winked at me. Yeah, she's up to something.
Let's give her a taste of her own medicine. "Okay Isabella" I purred in her ear. "But you just let me know if you change your mind Sweet Heart." There's that defeated pout.
BPOV
I cannot believe he just did that! Urgh, he can't do exactly what I'm doin to me. That's not fair. Wait is he smirking? Alright Mr. Smirky McSmirksalot, just wait til later.
"Something wrong, Princess?"
"Nope, not a thing. Just got a piece of corn stuck in my teeth. Thanks for asking though. So Alice, what exactly are we doing later?"
"Well I thought we could have a bonfire in the back yard. Is that okay with you guys?" Sounds lovely.
"That sounds great Alice. Oh and Esme, I'd be happy to do the dishes for you."
"Oh no dear, I couldn't possibly…"
"No really Esme, I'll take Edward here with me so he can show me where things go."
"Well if you insist. Edward, you'll help Bella with the dishes okay? And us old folks will go out for coffee and desert."
"Sure mom, I'll help Bella." He said Bella! Well he is talking to his mother, so why wouldn't he say Bella, I mean that is my name. And he winked. Winking is my thing! Mine!
"Well I guess Rose and I will help these two gather some wood, and start the fire. When you two come out back, grab the marshmallows Ed." Alice is definitely a leader.
"Alright Ali, you guys better have that fire going though by the time we get out there." Geez, he's so demanding.
"C'mon Eddie, let's get to work on those dishes!" Maybe that was a bit to much excitement, but oh well.
"You know, Princess, I don't usually do the dishes, and I definitely don't get volunteered to do dishes by a guest in my house." Jerk.
"Well then there's always a first for everything. So I'll be washing, and you'll be drying, and when everything is dried, you'll show my where everything is. I do plan to be here a lot with Alice being my new friend, so it'd be best to learn where stuff is now. Sound like a plan DB?" I can't let him think he's lost that nickname.
"Well now, aren't we just a demanding little thing."
"Excuse me, I'm the one with the water hose, you might want to watch what you say to me, boy." I look like I'm gonna shoot him with it.
"Easy Princess, no need to make a" MESS! I shot him, and he took the sprayer, and we ended up in a wet mess on the floor.
"Ouch! Edward! You hurt me. You fell on top of me, and are currently squishing my guts out." He's not moving. He's just staring at me. "Incase you couldn't tell, that was code for GET THE HECK OFFA ME!" And he's up. "Thank you. Now could you help me up?"
Bad idea, it's slippery, and in him pulling me up, he slipped and now I'm on top of him. Well this is the perfect opportunity for a lovely joke. "Much better, I've always liked to be on top." And with that I got up.
"Wow, Bella, I didn't know you were so experienced." There's that smirk.
"I never said I was. But I'm saying now that I'd love some dry clothes and a shower. Know where I can find what I'm looking for?"
"Come on Bella, is it okay if I call you Bella? And you could call me Edward." He wants to make amends.
"Yeah, I reckon you can call me Bella, I generally prefer Bella to Princess and certainly Isabella. And I suppose I could try to call you Edward, but if I slip up, it's not my fault." Well at least we're getting somewhere. You know I really think I could handle this friendship.
"So Bella, mom and Alice are both shorter than you, so their clothes won't fit right, so do you just want to borrow some sweats and a hoodie? It's pretty chilly out there, but I can give you a t-shirt too, if you'd like?"
"Uhm sure, that'd be great. What bathroom will I be using?"
"Alice's. It's down the hall and to the right. Uhm, her room connects to it, you know in case you need some undergarments." Awe he's blushing.
"Thanks Edward, and I hope we can be friends."
"We most certainly can. Come here." He's going to hug me. Mhmm, even soaking wet he smells so good. "Try to hurry in there though, they might wonder where we went."
"Okie doke. I'll do my best. Ha ha." Well let's get this show on the road.
