CHAPTER 4 MOVIE NIGHT.
Bella's POV
I heard the door bell ring then. I was busy in the kitchen putting the nachos together to put them in the oven. I had everything prepared for my dip. I just had to make it. "Hey Bells the guys are here." Hailey called out to me. "Yeah okay Hailey, I'll be there in a minute." I called back. I put the nachos in the oven and set the timer. Then I walked over to the doorway. I could see all the guys n the living room. Edward turned around and saw me then. I noticed his eyes widen as he looked me up and down. I internally groaned and sighed out loud. "Hey Bella, you need a hand in there?" He asked me, a hopeful look on his face and his eyes gleaming. I chuckled ever so slightly and silently. "No, I'm good. Just got to make the dip and then everything will be all done." I answered him politely. I notice the change in his features, as the defeat of spending anytime alone with me took hold.
I walked over to the doorway to the living room. "Hey guys." I called to the rest of the room. Everyone then turned to face me. "Hey Bella." rang as a chorus from them all. "Bells how is everything coming? Need a hand or anything?" Alice asked me. I shook my head no in reply. "All good, nearly finished. Give me a minute and I'll be back out." I left the living room doorway and headed back to the kitchen. I went back to work on my dip. I had everything in a bowl and was mixing it together when I realized that someone else was there, that someone had followed me. I turned around and noticed Jasper standing in the doorway. "Can I help you with something Jasper?" I almost snapped at him. I thought I had made it clear that I didn't want any help. I was in here cooking, it was my way of relaxing, well one of them. Jasper raised his hands in a sign of peace. "I just came on to put the soda in the fridge. That's all." It was then I noticed the bag in one of his hands still being held up. "Sorry." I mumbled out then I turned back to my cooking. I sensed Jasper move slowly cautiously to the fridge to put the bottles of soda in. I wasn't in the mood to talk to Jasper, I was still annoyed with the way he had been treating me in maths and English. Jasper didn't leave once he had put the soda in the fridge. He walked over to the small table and pulled out a chair and sat down. I turned eyeing him suspiciously. I could sense his emotions, his inner turmoil. I sighed, I had to talk to him, and I wanted to ease his pain, his confusion. I couldn't stay mad at him when he was feeling like this. "Jasper is everything okay?" I asked gently. I hadn't turned around to face him, thinking this might be easier for him that way. But I was answered only by his silence. I sighed yet again. I was sick of trying with this boy. I could sense so much from him emotionally, I knew that he kept everything to his self after my talk with Hailey, but some part of me still wanted to help him.
I finished the dip and walked over to set it in the fridge. It needed sometime to cool before I could serve it. I was thinking about using it as a late night snack. I turned from the fridge and noticed Jasper watching me. I raised a quizzical eyebrow at him, but said nothing. I continued moving around the kitchen, beginning to clean up from my cooking. I checked the timer for the nachos and knew would just have enough time to do the dishes before they were due out. I picked up everything I had used for cooking and moved it all over to the sink ready and waiting. I turned the tap and began to fill the sink as I place in the first items to be washed. I added the detergent and set about my task. I didn't notice Jasper's approach, he came over and picked up the tea towel and stood there waiting to help me with the dishes. "Jasper?" I asked questionably. He looked at me, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Just here to give you a hand Bella. You shouldn't have to the dishes on your own." He said it like it was the most natural thing in the world. I still quirked an eyebrow at him but said nothing more. I simply handed him the washed dishes to dry and sit in the bench waiting until they were put away. We completed the whole task in silence, neither one of us knowing what else to say. I am sure of that.
Just as I had finished washing the last dish, the timer went off. I grab another towel and dried my hands on it before walking over to the oven to pull the nachos out. They were perfect, I -knew everyone would have some, no-one had ever been able to resist my cooking. I placed them on top of the oven to cool for a moment, the tray was too hot to take anywhere, and I didn't want anyone burning themselves. I walked over and began to put the dishes I had used for cooking away, also getting out plates for everyone as well as glasses. I figured we didn't nee cutlery everyone would just use there hands. The only thing I did get out was a spatula to help serve the nachos. Jasper came over to me then, "Can I help you?" he asked quietly. "Um… Yeah thanks. Can you take the plates and glasses in for me?" I asked. Jasper simply nodded at me. He picked up the plates and a couple of the glasses and headed into the living room. I moved about the kitchen, getting the final items for the nachos, which included sour cream and guacamole that I had already put into two little serving bowls. "Hey, what does everyone want to drink?" I called out. "Whatever." Came back Hailey's reply. I rolled my eyes lovingly at my sister. Why do I even bother I thought. I pulled out a bottle of soda from the fridge along with the sides for the nachos, I got everything ready realizing I was going to have trouble carrying in everything else. Just then Jasper re-entered the kitchen, he came over to me. "Here let me take that for you." He said while indicating at the bottle of soda. I simply nodded in reply. He grabbed the bottle and then went over to grab the remaining cups. He paused at the doorway waiting for me to lead. I indicated that he should go first, he nodded in response and I followed him into the living room.
As I entered the living room I could sense everyone looking at me and Jasper questioningly. "Yum Bells, nachos. Love you." I heard Emmett call excitedly. I blushed slightly at the love you comment, and then I recomposed myself. "Yeah Em, I made nachos for now and something else for later. But they are to share so you better not eat them all." I replied teasingly. "Ohh, Bells no fun." Emmett whined. That was when I heard a crack and turned to see Rosalie hitting Emmett over the back of the head. "Ow Rose, that's really not nice." Emmett said. I had to suppress my laughter, but not everyone did. I heard Alice and Hailey let out small giggles and Edward laugh out loud. This must be a regular occurrence I thought. "Emmett." Rose warned. I placed the tray down on the little table and went in search of somewhere to sit. Emmett and Rosalie had taken up the love seat, Alice was sitting in the beanbag we had brought down for tonight, Edward was on the couch with Jasper a space in between them, Hailey was in dad's chair. I looked at Hailey with pleading eyes. Hailey please swap seats with me. I don't want to sit between them. Please. I pleaded with her. Bella. Came my sister's exasperated reply. I looked at her again, still pleading with my eyes. I couldn't sit there next to the both of them. Stuck between to men –well boys actually- but that didn't matter I just couldn't sit there. I would rather sit on the floor. Hailey still looked at me and didn't move. I sensed she was up to something, but I decided I was going to be stubborn. I walked over to the couch and sat on the floor leaning against it in the space that was left on the couch. Edward leaned down to me then. "Bella you don't have to sit on the floor, I promise we wont bite." He whispered into my ear, which had me involuntary shivering in my un-comfort over the situation. "No thanks I'm fine here I replied. Hailey serve out the nachos please I'll be back in a moment. I had to get out of there, I had to get to somewhere I felt safe. I could feel my emotions welling up threatening to spill out of me. I slammed the wall up harder and projected a happy feeling to my sister.
I got up and as quickly as I could without running or tripping I exited the room, heading for the stair case and my room. My heart was pounding in my chest, I felt like I was going to be violently ill. I got to my room and closed and locked the door behind me. Tears were welling up in my eyes and I knew they would fall at any moment. I wanted to scream in frustration. What he had been able to do to me, to affect me this way. It was only Edward, I kept telling myself, unable to distinguish between them at that moment. Edward was my friend, my best friend when we were younger, he was not like him, nothing like him. I sat there as the tears fell and I tried to relax my breathing and my racing heart. It had been so overwhelming in that instance, I knew they weren't the same person but I couldn't stop myself, he always whispered thing in my ear. At first I thought it was sweet, until I realised what it really meant.
There was a knock on my door. "Yeah." I said in almost a whisper. "Bella you okay?" Alice asked me. She had been the only one able to see the expression on my face as Edward whispered in my ear. "Yeah Ali, I okay. I'll be down in a minute." I replied to her emotionless, I was just trying to hide the pain out of my voice, but I knew it came out flat and lifeless and I know she had heard that as well as what I had said. "Bells please…" Ali said again, I knew she was pleading with me to open the door, but right then I couldn't I need this time by myself I needed to recompose myself, my feelings everything. I was also having a hard time projecting my emotions to Hailey, I didn't want her worrying about me as well. I took a deep breath and let it out slowly, before I responded to Ali. "Ali, please just give me a minute, I promise you I am fine I will back down in a minute, please Ali, I just need a minute on my own." I heard Alice sigh outside my door. "Okay sweetie but if you are not back down there in 5 minutes I am coming back up here and dragging your butt back down there, you here me?"Ali growled at me. I could hear the determination in her voice. "Yeah Ali I hear ya. I'll be down in a minute." I heard Alice's gentle footsteps moving away and heading back down the stairs. I let out the breath I had been holding unconsciously. I relaxed a little more before the mental chastising started. Bella, what are you doing? You are suppose to be down here spending time with our friends, not hiding in your room. Hailey please, give it a rest I'll be down in a minute. I think Hailey sensed something then. Something I had said must have tipped her off, or it was Alice. Bells is everything okay? What happened? Why did you run out of here so fast? Alice said you were crying. What is wrong sis, you know you can tell me anything right?I could hear the concern in Hailey's mental voice and I felt bad that I was doing this to her, but I was overwhelmed, I needed a minute that was all. Hails I fine, I just needed a minute okay. I'll be down in a sec. Once I had communicated this to my sister I pulled myself of the floor went over to my mirror to check out the damage I had down to my face and to see how red my eye were, I was surprised that my reflection didn't really show any signs that I had been crying. I sighed and pulled myself back together and left the safety of my room. I headed back downstairs to the living room. I walked in and smiled at my sister and Alice then headed into the kitchen. "Anyone want anything?" I called out. "Chips." I heard Em call at the same time Hailey called out, "Nah Bella we're all good." I let out a little laugh. "What is it going to be guys? I can't exactly follow both of them now can I?" I quipped back. I heard small giggles from Alice and Rose as well as chuckles coming from the guys. When no answer came except for the laughter I replied, "Come on guys so what is it going to be? I can't wait forever, there is a movie going on that I would actually like to see some off." I said with as much sarcasm as I could muster. I heard more laughter coming from the living room, I couldn't tell if they were laughing at me or at the movie. I grabbed the chips for Emmett and another bottle of soda, I sat them on the bench and checked on the dip I had made. It still needed more time for it to finish setting. I picked up the items I had set down on the bench and made my way back into the living room. Once there I threw the chips at Em. "Hey thanks Bells." Emmett said as he was tearing into the bag. I sat the soda down on the coffee table and noticed that they hadn't even saved me any nachos. I pouted. "Em and E fault Bells, they ate your share." Hailey said to me. I scowled. "You two are… grrr." I said, I couldn't even get out how much they had pissed me off. "That is the last time I make either of you anything." I snapped at them. "But Bells…" They both said to me. "No butts. You don't deserve me cooking anything for you ever again." I snapped again. I was really annoyed now, I went through all the effort of cooking for everyone and making it all by hand for them not to even save me any. "But Bells it was just to good to let go to waste." Emmett whined at me. "Yeah I know how good it was, I cooked it. I know what my cooking is like." I quipped back. I walked over to where I had been sitting before all of this and I sat back on the floor. If I had to sit here between them then I was going to do it the only way I felt comfortable.
I relaxed slightly leaning back into the couch and focused on the tv watching the movie. I felt movement on the couch and was surprised that the movement was coming from Jasper. He leaned down to me, but not getting too close. "Here Bella." Jasper said as he handed me the rest of his nachos. "Umm… thanks Jasper. You didn't have to. I mean if you want them you can have them." I said nervously stuttering a little. "It's okay. I figured you would want some." He said leaving the plate on the ground beside me and then sitting back up. I picked up the plate and a small smile played on my lips. I didn't think Jasper could be so thoughtful, I thought to myself. I looked up and saw Alice and Hailey beaming at each other. Oh no, I thought knowing they were up to something. What are you smirking about sis? I questioned her. She looked at me sheepishly. Nothing Bells, don't worry yourself. I know you are up to something and I know you have included Ali in it as well Hailey. If it has anything to do with me you better stop it right now, I don't need you trying anything. Just leave me alone and out of it. I mentally sighed at her. Please dear lord make this the one time she actually listens to me, I thought. I sat quietly eating the nachos Jasper had saved me and watching the movie.
We started the next movie and were about half way through when the doorbell rang signaling that the pizza man was here. I immediately shot up from my seat and headed t the front door. Hailey was right on my heels coming with the money she had from Charlie for the pizzas. I opened the door and grabbed the pizzas from the delivery guy while Hailey organized paying him. Once she had done that I handed her half of them and we made our way back into the living room carrying five family pizzas each. I know this does sound like a lot for three boys and 4 girls but considering the way Emmett eats trust me it isn't. Hailey got the boys to move the coffee table as there was no way they were all going to fit on that, so we spread them out on the floor. Everyone helped themselves and I stayed out of the way until they all had. Then I moved in grabbed my plate and got a couple of slices moving back out of the way. I went over to where the boys had set the coffee table and sat on it. I silently sat there in the back of the room eating my pizza, I noticed then that we were currently ignoring the movie and chatting. I was not the only quiet one, but I was the only one not paying attention. "Bells… Hey Bells are you even listening to us?" Ali asked me. "Um… Sorry Ali, I guess I zoned out there. What is it?" I asked suddenly feeling very nervous. I checked the mental wall I had with my sister and noticed it was still intact and still sending out happy feelings. "Bella we were talking about organizing sleeping arrangements and what else we are going to be doing for tonight." Ali stated matter of factly. "Umm… Ali my room is just up stairs. I'm sleeping in there." I replied a little nervously. "Bells." I got from Ali, Hailey, Em, Rose and E. I raised an eye brow at them questioningly. "Bells it's movie night we all sleep down here on the floor." Hailey explained to me. I rolled my eyes at her. "Fine then if I really have to I am sleeping on the couch. As to what you want to do tonight what are the plans?" The next few minutes were spent them discussing sleeping arrangements. I was left alone to sleep on the couch. Rose was sleeping next to Emmett, which truth be told was no surprise to me. Hailey was going to be between Ali and Edward which left Jasper next to me near the couch. I could see that Ali and Hails had some planning in the arrangements. Not that it bothered me I had decided that once everyone was asleep I was going to b sneaking up to my room anyway. Once the gang had all that sorted out Ali started talking about what else she wanted to do tonight. She was talking about playing truth and dare and spin the bottle and never ever. I grimaced at these ideas. I hated the thought of truth and dare, there were some things I simply could not tell anyone, ever. I knew they would never understand any of it, why it had happened, why it had continued to happen and how I couldn't say anything to anyone. I didn't want to hurt anyone that way and I knew it would almost kill my mother when she realized what had happened, I also knew she would blame herself and it was in no way her fault. I sighed. Just about everyone seemed excited about this, everyone I realized except Jasper. I knew from the sense of his feeling that I was getting that something terrible had happened to him and that it was not something he was going to talk about to anyone. I knew his feeling in that regard. "How about we watch the end of this movie Alice? Before you start planning any of your craziness that is bound to ensue." Edward said calmly to his sister. I sighed in relief, at least there was still about half of this movie to go and that gave me about an hour to possible find some way out of this. I knew there was really no escaping it but I could always hope.
The movie ended and Alice was bouncing up and down in place. "What first Ali?" Hailey asked with nearly as much enthusiasm as Alice was showing. Alice sat there for a moment thinking about it. Then she practically screamed, "Never ever." I heard Rose and Emmett groan. Okay they must be the first two out I thought. I was a little enthused and scared by that idea, I wasn't sure how much I wanted to really know about those two. "Everyone put one hand in the air, and all your fingers up as well. We are going to take it in turn to ask never ever have I… questions and if you have you have to put your finger down first with all their fingers down loses, and we keep going until there is only one of us left. If you put your finger down and get asked to explain, well you have to share. Just remember no repeating any of what is said outside of this little group, our ears only." There was a chorus of "We know Alice." Coming from everyone else in the room. "Okay I'm gonna start." Alice said raising her hand with her fingers up. Everyone followed suit. "Never have I ever gone skinny dipping." I was stunned when Rose and Hailey put a finger down. I raised my eyebrows at my sister in an explain that one Hailey expression. She mental sighed at me. Explain Hailey, I want to hear this story. Bells please this is so embarrassing, can't I just tell you this way please. No way sis. I am sure when you get the chance you will find your own way of embarrassing me, you already made me sit between the boys, so the answer is no way! Fine Bella, but you better look out. "So what's the story Hails?" I asked. She shook her head at me and mouthed 'big trouble', I rolled my eyes at her and waited for her to start. "It was a dare at summer camp, Rose and I were dared to go skinny dipping with a couple of the boys the girls knew we had crushes on. We were told to get in the water first and the boys would find us, truth be told they came with a supervisor and we were told to get out, we had to explain how we couldn't and yeah, let's say there we weren't allowed to go to another summer camp after that." Hailey said quietly. Everyone but Rose and Hailey broke out in a fit of giggles. "Rosie, you never told me you were up for skinny dipping." Emmett said almost sounding like he was sulking over the fact. We all chuckled again at that, well except Emmett.
It was Hailey's turn next and her question was aimed at the boys. I think she was hoping to get then to spill some secrets. "Never have I ever gone down on a girl." Only Emmett put a finger down, Emmett didn't even look phased. He looked to Rose and shrugged. It was Emmett's turn next. "Never have I ever kissed someone of the same sex." I almost had to laugh when Alice, Hailey and Rosalie all put down a finger. I looked at them with questioning eyes. Rose answered, "A drunken night in the hot tub, it was all three of us, no boys and it is not ever happening again." I nodded, and chuckled at that. But Emmett and Edward made a groaning sound. We laughed at that as well.
Next it was Rose's turn. "Never have I ever maxed out my credit card in one day." I immediately knew that one was aimed at Alice, and of course she was the only one to drop a finger. "Alice what did you buy to max out your card?" I asked genuinely curious. Alice chuckled then replied. "Clothes, shoes, jewelry you know the usual." Alice stated so matter of factly. I just had to roll my eyes at her response.
Edward was the next to ask his question. "Never have I ever learnt how to cook." I had to put my finger down at that, but they all knew I knew how to cook, I had already cooked for them tonight, I was a little surprised to see Jasper, Alice and Hailey put their finger down also. You learnt how to cook? I asked Hailey silently. She looked over to me and smiled. I had to learn Bells, Dad cant cook you know that, but about the best I can do is mac' and cheese out of a box. I am nothing to you, those nachos were amazing. Thanks Hails. I answered her smiling. I really did love my sister. I just wished I could tell her what happened, tell her anything personal about myself. I was pulled out of my internal babbling by Jasper talking and then asking his never have I ever questioned. I couldn't believe I hadn't been paying attention to Jasper answer about why he had learned to cook.
"Never have I ever gone out on a date." Jasper asked the room. I looked at him stunned by his never have I question. I watched as everyone in the room except me and Jasper put their fingers down. Hailey and Alice turned to me and asked, "Bella you have never been on a date?" I looked down into my lap and answered in a very small and weak voice, "No." that was all I was able to get out. They both looked at me curiously. I glanced up at them. "Really Bells?" Hailey asked and I nodded. I looked around the room and noticed that Hailey and Alice were nearly out. I thought about being mean to Hailey for about thirty seconds before I changed my mind. "Never have I ever learnt to play a musical instrument." Edward and Jasper dropped a finger to my question. "What do you play I asked." I loved music, I used to love watching my mum play the piano whenever she had the chance. "Piano mainly, but I can play a few others." Edward answered me. I looked over to him stunned. He smirked at me. "Guitar." Jasper answered in a small voice. I looked over to him and smiled, he smiled a small smile back. "Yeah, yeah, Edward is the musical genius in our family. But he doesn't have my fashion sense." Alice said. laughed at her. "No one has your fashion sense Alice." Edward quipped back at his sister. The room erupted in giggles and chuckles. When we had finally settled down Alice asked her question. I knew that this was going to be aimed solely at her big brother. "Never have I ever wanted to be able to sing." Alice said in a mocking tone. I watched as Edward lowered his finger. I was secretly glad she didn't say anything about actually being able to sing, because I could, just no one actually knew that about me.
Now it was Hailey's turn. I knew she could choose between getting me back and getting Alice out. I held my breath waiting for her to ask her question. "Never have I ever tripped over my own feet on a flat surface." I glared at Hailey as I lowered my finger. Not all of us can be sports fanatics can we? I practically growled at her using our connection. She just looked at me and shrugged. "We all know that you are physically challenged Bells, but we love you all the same." Alice said to me, trying to make me feel better I guess. I just blushed and hid my face. "Never have I ever done a strip tease." Em said, with the biggest grin playing on his face. I watched as Rose lowered a finger. "Em, honey you really cant make that statement, if you are playing by the rules you have to lower one as well." Rose said in a sickly sweet voice. That was way more then I needed to know about the two of them. But Emmett lowered his finger like Rose had said. Rose smirked, I knew she was looking at Ali and Hailey and I knew she had a way of getting them out together, without her.
"Never have I ever been in a fashion show." I looked at Hailey and Ali, wondering about this story as I watched them lowering their last fingers. "Well how did this come about girls? Especially seeing as Rosie was included." Em asked. Hailey blushed slightly. "It was my idea, I wanted to do it for that charity thing for mum and dad. I wanted someone to come with me though, and since I couldn't reach Rose I called Hails and convinced her to come with me. So there you go, we did a fashion show for charity and yeah, that's the story." Alice said matter of factly, like it didn't mean anything at all. I was shocked, I didn't think Hailey would ever do anything like that. How did she convince you to do that Hails? I didn't think that was your kind of thing, Alice I can understand, Rose even but I didn't think you would. Let me just say that, that little pixie can be very convincing when she wants to be. It wasn't an entirely bad experience, and it was for charity. The two of us ended up making a lot of money for the charity. Something about the clothes really suiting us and looking beautiful in them or some such nonsense. I don't know. I smiled at my sister. I had missed this closeness, this connection with her, I just hoped I could keep this bond with out explaining the reason I was here.
The never have I ever game continued for a few more questions until Alice was bored and there was only Edward Jasper and I left. Em and Rose going out with a few more info about their relationship, which was much more then I ever wanted to know. Jasper and I still only had two fingers down each Edward had four, so Alice declared we were the winners.
Then it was truth or dare. I internally cringed at this, the thought of truth or dare actually scared me. A couple of other people groaned. "Bella or Jasper can start as they won never have I ever." Alice declared. "Bella can." Jasper quickly followed. I had no ideas what so ever. Hails help, need an idea. Need help. Who? Bells call on Emmett or Alice or Edward. I nodded to her. "Alice, truth or dare?" I asked her. "Truth." She replied. Hails need an idea please? And nothing that is going to come back and bite me. Bells just ask her anything. Ali is our best friend, I promise she won't be too hard on you later. I groaned at this. Thanks sis. I said to her being really sarcastic. "Alice what's the most you have ever spent on one article of clothing or shoes and what was it?" Alice rolled her eyes at me. "Bells this is an easy one. $1500 on a pair of gorgeous Louboutin boots. They were to die for and I still love them." I giggled at her answer, I had never spent more then a hundred dollars on anything. That kind of spending was rare for me, and only when I found something I couldn't live without.
So now it was Alice's turn. "Em truth or dare?" She asked. "Dare, Ali you know it is always dare, so why even ask?" "Because it is only fair to give you the choice and to let you know you are going to be my target." She answered matter of factly. "Okay Emmett, I dare you to give Edward a lap dance, and it has to last the whole length of the song I am choosing, and it better be good or I will give you a make over." Everyone chuckled at that except Em and Edward they groaned. "Why Alice, why me?" Edward asked. "Payback is a bitch." She sang back at him. That had Hails, Rose and me in fits of giggle again. Alice got up and danced over to the stereo system. Britney Spears 'Opps… I did it again' came blearing through the speakers. Emmett got up as the music started and danced over to Edward who was sitting on the couch. We all watched on and were laughing as Emmett gave Edward a very convincing lap dance. When the music ended and merged into another song Emmett bowed. Alice turned off the music then. "How was that? Does that get me out of the make over?" Emmett asked. "Well let's put it to the panel of judges here." Alice said as she waved her arms around at the rest of us. "Make over." Hailey and Alice declared at the same time, "Make over." Rose declared as well. "No it was good." Jasper said. "No make over." I said. "If any one asks my opinion I say no make over. Considering I was on the receiving end I think my vote should count as two." Edward said. "Okay your safe Emmett, only because I let E's vote count as two." Alice said to Emmett a little put out because I was sure she actually wanted to give him a make over.
"Okay so now it is my turn. Jasper truth or dare?" Emmett asked. I saw Jasper cringe. "Dare." He said in a monotone voice. "Okay Jazz I dare you to play something for us on a guitar." I watched as Alice jumped up and run into the next room. "Okay what do you want me to play?" Jazz asked Em. Em sat there for a moment thinking about it. "Something by Nickelback." Emmett declared. Alice came dancing back into the room then, carrying a guitar, how she knew about this and planned to bring one I had no idea. She danced over to Jasper and handed it to him. I sat and watched Jasper as he strummed the strings fine tuning the instrument. Then he started playing the song, it took me only a few seconds to realize it was 'How you remind me'. I was humming along with him as he played. I loved this song and I decided it was a good time then to go and get my dip out of the fridge before I started singing in front of everyone.
I quickly darted into the kitchen and pulled out the dip and the chips and biscuits. I was singing quietly as I could still here the music playing. I walked back into the living room carrying the plate that had the dip served on it with the chips and biscuits, and I also brought in another bottle of soda. I put it all down on the coffee table and we all took a break in the game to eat the dip. I heard Emmett groan out, "God Bells, I think I am in love with you. This is amazing." He got up and walked over to me then, and pulled me into a rib crushing hug. "Em… can't… breath." I choked out, while also gasping for air. Emmett sat me back on the ground and smiled sheepishly at me. "Sorry Bells." He said in the saddest voice I had ever heard Em use. I smiled back at him. "It's okay Em, you just need to work on your strength Em, and not crush me whenever you want a hug." I said to Em. He smiled at me and he pulled me into another hug, a much gentler hug then before. "That's better Em, at least I could still breath." I giggled to him as I answered.
We finished of the dip and Hailey took the plate back to the kitchen. "Okay Jazz, it's your turn to ask the next truth or dare question." Alice said to the room. "Alice truth or dare." Alice rolled her eyes. "Truth Jazz. I don't like dares." "Okay Alice why don't you like dares?" I saw the look on Alice's face, I don't think she really wanted to answer that. "I don't like dares because once I was at summer camp and I was dared to strip down to just my bikini bottom and run around the building three times. The girls ended up stealing my clothes and locked me out. I was stuck outside in my bikini bottoms for three hours until I was able to find a window to break into and it ended up be the window in the sup's room and I was so embarrassed over the whole situation I never went back to that camp ever again." Alice was a little red when she finished telling her story. I felt sorry for her, but I could understand why she never went for another dare after that.
"Okay so it is my turn again. Edward truth or dare?" "Alice I think I am going to go with truth, after the dare you gave Emmett, I want no part in something like that again." E said in an indignant tone. "Okay E, What is the furthest you have gone with a girl or they with you?" I heard E groan. "Why Ali, why?" "Come on Edward you can't avoid the question you picked truth so answer the question." I saw Hailey tense. Hails what's up sis? Bells I don't want to hear this, I don't think I can listen to this. Hails it will be okay, besides this will be something you will want to know later. Hails I'm here for you, always okay. You know that. Just relax and breath, it may not be as bad as you think. I was listening to Edwards answer. "I haven't done anything with a girl except kiss and a little groping, outside of the clothes only." "But Edward how far has a girl gone with you, you only answered half the question." Alice said to him. "Alice, please." "You are so not getting out of answering this. So out with it." Edward sighed. "Okay, well I have had one of my ex-girlfriends go down on me." I saw Hailey tense, her back was nearly ram rod straight. Hails it is alright, don't worry about that. I know what you are feeling, I also know Edward is extremely embarrassed about this. If you two do start dating there are so many other things you will get to do together as a first, beside if he really liked that girl they would still be together now, and they aren't relax sis, it will be alright. I promise you, if you are meant to be together you will be together. I will do everything I can to help. Just relax, remember sweetie you will always have me. And you will always have me to Bella. I love you sis. We smiled at each other.
"Rose truth or dare?" E asked. "Dare Edward." I watched as a smirk appeared on his face. "Rose I dare you take Hailey in to the coat cupboard for seven minutes in heaven." Rose smirked back at Edward, and I saw Hailey smirk also. They both got up and disappeared into the coat cupboard. We were listening to them. Bells, Rose and I are going to play with this. Don't laugh, but trust me we won't be in here for seven minutes, one of the boys will come to investigate soon. They always do this. I almost giggled at that response. "Oh Rose, yes… ohh… that feels soo good. Rose more please." "Hailey just like that, mmmm… Hailey…" I watched as Edward and Emmett were squirming in their seats. The next noises coming from the cupboard were kissing sounds. Then the sounds of clothes rustling, and more moaning. The girls had only been it there for less then three minutes when both Edward and Emmett raced off to the cupboard and opened the door. See told you we wouldn't be in here that long. They always hope to actually catch us doing something. You should have seen the look on the boys faces, it was priceless. Hailey and Rose came walking out of the cupboard then with two bys who looked like someone had stolen their puppy. It was comical to say the least.
"Okay my turn. Hailey, truth or dare?" Rose asked. "Oh Rosalie, you should know me so better then that. Dare. I call dare." Hails said to Rose. "Okay Hailey, I dare you to take Alice upstairs so she can find your most revealing nightie and then you have to sit on Edward's lap for the rest of the night. Edward no touching, but Hailey can do whatever she wants, anything is fair game." Hailey blushed, Edward groaned. Alice and I couldn't help but giggle. "I have the perfect one, come on Hailey let's go." Alice said as she got up, danced over to Hailey and dragged her upstairs. A few minutes later Hailey came back down in a deep purple and black lace slip I know she had gotten from mum who had brought it from Victoria Secret. I came to about mid thigh, but the top and bottom two inches were black lace. It had tiny little twin spaghetti straps with little purple bows on the shoulders and one just under the bust where the lace ended and the satin started, the bows were in a slightly lighter shade. I was stunned she was able to walk downstairs looking like that. I was proud of her. I noticed that she was also wearing a pair of black pumps. Hailey sauntered into the living room and did a twirl for Rose. "Is this acceptable Rose?" She asked as she was doing her little spin. "Nice, very nice Hails. I never knew you had a set of pins like that." Rose answered back, with a smirk on her face. I knew she was having fun with this. Hailey doing her best catwalk, walk sauntered over to Edward and positioned herself precariously on his lap. I watched as Edward shifted his hands so that he was sitting on them. Hailey wriggled in his lap then. A smirk playing on her face, I could tell she was enjoying this.
"Bella truth or dare?" Hailey asked me. I sighed internally. Payback is a bitch sis. Now it's your turn so what is it going to be. "Dare Hailey." I replied. I was so not going for truth, that could have landed me in a bag of trouble. I bag of trouble I never wanted to talk about. "Okay sis, I want you to sing and dance along with a song of Alice's choosing, seeing as I can't get up right now, thanks to Rosie." Hailey glared at Rose when she said that last part. Alice got up and danced over to the stereo. I got up and walked over to the space in front of the tv. Alice started playing Rihanna's 'P.S. I'm still not over you.' I was thankful that I knew this song and it was slow enough that I could dance to it. Hey I could dance, I had taken dancing lessons for years, mum always hoped that they would help with my lack of balance and clumsiness. They did as long as I was dancing. So I slowly began to move, and sing to the song. I was trying to avoid looking at everyone. But that didn't keep Hailey out. Oh My God Bella. You are amazing, I never knew you could dance, let alone sing. Bella wow. I looked up at her and the expression on her face, she was stunned. I looked around the room and it seemed everyone was stunned. They all had the same opened mouth expressions. I wanted to laugh, but I had to finish the dare. When I finished I curtsied. Then they all started clapping, and calling encore, encore. I shook my head, saying no. "One time only deal guys. Not going to happen again." I said.
"Time for a movie." Alice declared. Thank god, she was taking all the focus off me. Alice danced over and put the next movie on. We all sat around watching it. Hailey stayed in Edward's lap for the whole movie and we decided to call it a night, well it was actually early morning. And we all needed sleep. We all settled in to our respective spots for the night, I waited until everyone was asleep before I snuck up to my room.
