EPOV

Alice had been right, unsurprisingly as that little pixie had checked for me that I was going to win. It was only the other day that Emmet had somehow got me and Rosalie into this bet. Whoever could eat the most human food in a minute wouldn't have to forfeit.

My forfeit from Rosalie was no music for 3 months. That would be impossible to do so I told Rosalie that she and Em couldn't have sex for 4 months. Rosalie retaliated quickly before jumping on Emmet and before they started anything I took it back.

She smugly thought "I knew that would work, haha, Edward, good luck with coming up with something different now. He's gonna have to eat like…" and so her thoughts continued but it gave me an idea. What is she had to eat human food for the next month but in public. She'd hate that!

Alice squealed in the other room presumably having a vision. I looked into her mind after a moment only to hear, "Make her do it and at Pancakes, Puddings and pies so I can watch to! Please lol" and so the dare happened. If Rosalie lost as Alice and I already knew, she was going to eat at Alice's working place every day for a month. Alice had left the house seeing that her best friend Bella I'd never actually met, was in need of an assistant shortly after that.

Rosalie had pulled a face at me before whining to Emmet to distract me if she was losing. However, I being a mind reader already knew his trick and I was ready to jump out the way as soon as he went for me.

A voice boomed unnecessarily "Ready, set, go!" and Emmet dropped the flag. Another unnecessary item but he had quite a few of these. Oh crap, she's started. Emmet laughed, probably at me but I was too consumed in trying to swallow a handful of grapes before chucking cake into my mouth. Yes! I'd caught up with Rosalie.

Now I was onto the baguette and Rosalie hadn't even finished the cake. She was scowling whilst trying to distract me with her thoughts of her and Emmet. I didn't want to see them so focused even harder on finishing my baguette. Only one more bite to go-it was absolutely vile.

"Come on Rosie babe, you can do this" Emmet was saying but he knew I would win and sure enough I did. Rose growled showing me her teeth covered in chocolate and I cringed back. Emmet suddenly shouted "surprise" or thought it, I couldn't tell but was coming at me.

He leapt from the floor and in a millisecond I had moved to my piano and started playing-mainly to piss Rosalie off further as it was hilarious to watch Emmet calm her down. Emmet then crashed into one of Esme's vases and I could hear him thinking "shit, shit shit, Emse's gonna kill me." She was though, she loved all of her ornaments so I decided to help Emmet to relax.

"Emmet!" I shouted and he looked at me quizzically not realising Esme was already in hearing distance "Esme loved that vase and you smashed it just to show me you could jump. She's gonna kill you" Honestly, the look on his face was priceless but I did feel a little guilty.

A few seconds of silence later and Esme had graced us with her presence and me with her thoughts. "I love my son and that vase but honestly, he's got to stop breaking stuff sooner or later. Maybe I should try tough love on him just this once. Oh, but look at his face, he scared shitless already" "Emmet honey", Esme began in her motherly voice and I chuckled leaving the room to give them some privacy, Lord knows I didn't want to be in there if she let out her wrath. But now what should I do?

Rosalie then came to mind so I put on an innocent face and went over to her. "Rosalie?" I questioned sweetly knowing she could see right through my façade.

"What do you want Edward, I'm not really in the mood to think to you" Her thoughts were sharp and her thinking voice was even more unpleasant than usual.

"Well, I'm kinda bored and since you lost the bet," She hissed, what was she? A snake now? No, vampire Edward, vampire and keep going mate "I was wondering if you'd like to visit a favourite restaurant of mine and eat out?" My voice had gone from innocent to plain me. I knew she was beginning to get irritated and I couldn't help but laugh, clutching my waist.

"Edward, that's so thoughtful of you" she was speaking out loud now and she knew Esme could hear. Esme was probably confused out of her wits if she had already finished with Emmet. "Let me just get changed into something more suitable and oh, I'm not paying for any of the meals" She smiled at me and tried to block her thoughts but you didn't need to be Jasper to know she was one angry vampire right now. This act would only last for a few days and then the real Rosalie would start.

She came back down stairs in black skinny jeans ripped at the knees, black heels and a blood red blouse showing off her cleavage. Her hair was whipped up into an elegant bun and she had put on red lipstick. I wasn't interested in what she looked like but she liked the attention from others and knew I hated it. This was supposed to be her forfeit, not mine. I growled and walked to my car.

Once I had shut the door, I saw she and Emmet kiss in their own style before she hopped out the door and in a whiz, she was next to me. "Let's get this show on the road!" she said enthusiastically and I was momentarily confused. One look into her head told me that she was excited for attention but mainly, because I hadn't been into town yet or met anyone.

I had stayed at home and hadn't felt the need to interact with humans so no one knew I was here. Oh dear, I was internally groaning, now I had to show up sometimes and there were going to be rumours in a place forks no doubt. And, people were going to look at us even thought they knew she was dating Emmet. I spun my Volvo around and sped down the road. In no time at all, we were out the restaurant or diner or whatever it was and were seated at table 7.

I looked around memorising peoples w=thoughts with their faces. Two girls sat at the back were my age and were jealous of Rosalie for getting to sit next to me, typical. Already they were trying to find methods to accidently walk into me n=and seduce me, see! This is why I didn't come to town anymore, why did Alice lead me on in this one? The rest of the people were either thinking about money, sex, food or work and they were all pretty average too.

I pulled out Rosalie's chair out of habit and then got seated in mine. Alice hopped around the corner, happy as ever and gave me a wink. She was blocking her thoughts with Taylor Swifts Red, inspired by Rosalie's outfit I was guessing. I kinda had to laugh but that received me several odd looks from the table next to us. She wrote down Rosalie's order for the human that would serve us and Alice being Alice told me to relax and not to bite anything unless it was Rosalie's food. I rolled my eyes at her but reassured her all the same. She was trying to think of something else urgently and her friend Bella popped into her head but Red then dominated her thoughts once again.

Why she was trying to hide Bella from me, I had no idea. I already knew she worked here and had seen through Alice's thoughts as well as her constantly talking about her to me. As far as I knew, she was very pretty, sweet but as clumsy as hell and Alice found it hilarious. Sometimes she would replay her memories for me to see and they were rather funny.

About 5 minutes later, a waitress walked through the door backwards and took a look around the room. She was stunning. She had big brown eyes and was amazingly pale for a human, she almost looked like one of us. Her mahogany hair was long and curled slightly at the bottom and she looked around the room curiously. Then it clicked, this was Bella, Alice's friend.

I then tried to look into her thoughts but oddly I found nothing. This was surprising. I looked further just thinking that something was wrong with me but no, I got nothing. Was there something wrong with her? Rosalie then turned around too and we saw that that she was walking our way. I looked at the food she was holding and I smirked, raising an eyebrow at Rosalie.

She was looking and began talking to Bella. When I looked up at her, she was looking at me and I was entranced by her face. A small blush appeared on her cheek and she looked at her feet obviously trying to cover it from me.

Rosalie and she were talking and she flicked her hair back so she could see me again. I was hit with the amazing smell of freesia and I stiffened immediately. She smelt incredible and I was wondering how Rosalie was coping but then I guess they spent time in school together. Oh crap, I still hadn't replied to Rosalie's introduction.

It was just that this girl was memorizing, wait Edward, focus. "It's nice to meet you Bella" I said nonchalantly like I wasn't obsessed with her already. She seemed to buy it but the look on her face intensified once I'd spoken to her. She took and deep breath and I saw the swirls of air pass through her light pink lips.

She opened them slightly and leaned in and her fragrance got stronger. I had never ever come across a human who smelt this good. "And you, I hope you're feeling settled here and the move wasn't too tiring." She replied softly. Wait, move? That threw me.

"Move?" I asked out loud to allow her to explain.

She nodded to me and got closer again. Wow, those eyes were intense. She spoke again and I got so lost in her voice I almost missed the words. "Alice had said this morning that she was excited because of a new family member." Oh of course, how was I going to explain this to everyone? I needed some sort of quick explanation.

"Oh, well thanks you" I was chuckling inside at the fact I was actually lost for words to Bella, a human. Rosalie quickly gave me an explanation through her head and a nodded to her too quickly for Bella to see. "But I have been here for a while. I just don't attend Forks high school as Esme wanted to try and home school me this year and I had agreed." She looked stunned at this piece of information and her reactions were starting to confuse me. She just nodded but I found mself wishing for her to say something, to hear her voice.

Damn I was glad I was the only mind reader. If Emmet could, well, I would be damned. Bella turned to leave us but managed to catch her left foot on her right. I laughed but was up to catch her before she could fall.

My hand fell around her waist and I spun her round to find her eyes closed. I wanted to look into them once more. "Open your eyes Bella" I said softly as I didn't want to startle her. I was a vampire after all and even if she didn't know this, I was still worried. Her eyelids fluttered open and she looked straight at me. My breath hitched in my throat and I swallowed so I could speak again. "Are you alright?" I was a little concerned.

I probably shouldn't have heard but my abnormal hearing allowed me to hear her mutter "That's a good question." I started shaking from laughter but held it in not wanting her to know I heard and embarrass her. Yet she realised and said a little clearer "I'm fine". She tried to stand up but I had created a snare around her with my arms. Once I realise what she wanted, I let her go and watched her walk out the room.

Wow, I thought. I sat back down thoroughly stunned before I realised I would have to be here every day for the next month. I didn't want to meet Rosalie's eyes but found myself looking at her before I realised it. She had only taken a few bites of the pancake Bella had prepared and her face looked like it was going to explode.

I took a look into her mind and then found that I didn't want to. "Edward?" she asked out loud, "Care to explain what happened there? That's my sister's friend you're hitting on" and then she did burst out laughing. She was just trying to imagine a clumsy human dating a vampire and she couldn't. I knew Rosalie liked Bella though so if I did invite her round it wouldn't be a problem.

Argh! Since when was I going to invite her round and I still hadn't answered Rosalie's question. "It's nothing Rosie, Bella fell so I caught her." I looked into her eyes evenly and tried to pull that statement off with an innocent expression but Rosalie would be Rosalie.

"Whatever Eddie" She teased and then groaned looking back at the pancake.

"Edward" I replied simply but laughed when she swallowed some more pancake. I couldn't stay annoyed when for the next few weeks, she had to do this. And I would get to see Bella.
