Chapter 7

Bella's POV

We arrived at the meet and watched the guys as they ran and beat the other team. I was never into sports; in fact I'm still not into them. But it was exciting to see Edward, Jasper and Emmett running. Of course Alice and Rosalie cheered them on loader then anyone else in the stadium and I occasionally clapped and cheered at the right moments. I wasn't the type to draw attention to myself.

We met up with the guys afterward because Alice and Rosalie wanted to see them before the party and they needed to figure out car pooling arrangements.

"Ok, so you girls drove here in one car right?" Jasper asked Alice.

"Yeah, did you guys?" she returned the question.

"Yeah, so how bout I ride with you in your car and who ever wants to join us can?" Jasper asked.

"Sounds good, why don't Rose and Em ride with us?" Alice asked as she threw a wink at me, I just rolled my eyes but secretly I was excited for the car ride with Edward.

"Whatever! You guys, lets just go!" Emmett called out like an impatient child.

I tried to hide my life and ended up with just a goofy smile on my face, I looked around to see if anyone noticed and caught a look with Edward, he too had the same type of smile on my face.

"Ok, well you guys figure it out; I'm going to my car. Bella want to join me?" he asked.

I couldn't turn it down; I really wanted to ride with him.

"Sure." I told him as I followed him to his car.

We got in a he started his car and began to pull out.

"I thought you wanted them to figure it out, how are they going to do that if we leave?" I asked confused.

"That's the point, this way I don't have to drive any obnoxious people back to my house." He said with a smile.

"You're a little sneaky, how long do you think it will take them to notice?" I asked him with amusement.

"I don't know, don't really care either. They'll find out sooner or later." He responded. "So, should we continue our game?" he asked.

I perked up with the thought of our game continuing and just nodded my head.

"Ok, favorite candy?" he asked.

"Still going with the easy ones I see, umm I guess it would have to be skittles." I responded, not really having to think about it.

"Why skittles?" he asked curious.

"Because, they have a great slogan and you really can taste the rainbow." I responded with a light giggle at the end of my sentence.

"Good point." He said with a chuckle of his own. "Your turn."

"Favorite color?" I asked, he had asked me earlier and I wanted to know his.

"Hey, I asked you that earlier."

"So, are we not allowed to re-ask questions the other asked us?" I questioned him.

"No, I guess you can." He said shyly.

"I didn't hear your answer, is that a pass?" I asked hoping he wouldn't pass.

"No, it's not a pass. My favorite color is a mix of chocolate and chestnut." He responded with a hint of pink washing over his cheeks, almost as if he were blushing!

But why would he blush with such an easy question? It was just a color…

Edward POV

We were almost at my house when she asked my favorite color. I responded without carefully thinking and told her the colors that first came to mind, those colors happened to also be the color of her eyes.

I felt a slit hint of blush touch my cheeks but she just continued on, not noticing my reference in color to her eyes.

"Hmm, I would have pegged you as a red guy or maybe yellow." She responded in a mocking voice.

"You're mocking me?" I asked as we pulled up to my house and turned the engine off. I looked over at her and smiled as I saw that cute smile of hers reach her eyes.

"Not mocking, just re-quoting you in different words." She responded with a fit of giggles.

I couldn't help but feel more towards Bella then just friendship feelings. I liked her, really liked her. She wasn't like the other girls at school who threw themselves at me, she was smart, funny, and caring and I always seemed to be smiling when I was around her.

"Ok, well maybe we should pick up on the game a little later. Gotta get this party started first." I told her reluctantly.

She turned in her seat and looked ahead towards my house.

"This is your house?" she asked as if she were shocked.

"Yeah, my dad is a doctor so you know he wanted to get this amazing house." I informed her.

"It's so beautiful." She said as she continued to look at it.

"Want to see the inside?" I asked her with a smile.

"Hell yeah!" she responded excited as she opened her door and stepped out.

When I saw her earlier at the track meet I was blown away. She looked so beautiful. The red shirt she was wearing made her eyes shine and the jeans she wore accented her legs and curves nicely. In less words she looked stunning and I couldn't wait to spend the evening with her, although just as a friend sadly.

We made our way in the house and began to set some last minute stuff up. We weren't serving any alcohol mainly because our parents would kill us if we did, but also because none of us enjoyed the taste of it or enjoyed the way it made your body feel afterward.

It was still one of the biggest parties and a lot of people were coming.

---------------------------------

The party was in full swing now and everyone was here. Rose and Alice dragged Bella away from me and they were off doing girl stuff so I was left with just Emmett and Jasper.

"So, how's it going with Bella?" Emmett asked while wiggly his eye brows.

"It's fine, we're having fun. Why?" I asked confused by his questioning.

"Oh, come on Edward! You're totally swooning over her!" Emmett said loudly, fortunately the music was loud enough to block it out from other people around.

"Ok, I might like her. But nothing is going to happen, ok?" I told them.

"Why?" Jasper asked.

"Because of a lot of reasons I can't tell you. Just back off you guys." I told them before leaving to get a drink.

Bella's POV

Rose and Alice pulled me aside to I guess check our makeup or something, I don't know. I found it pointless.

After getting away from them I returned to the party and was trying to get back to Edward. We had started playing Truth again and it was fun. We got the basic questions of getting to know the other person, and were now really getting to know each other, asking about the past and stuff deeper then favorites.

On my way back to where we last hanging out I was stopped by someone I really didn't want to see, Mike.

"Hey Bella, enjoying the party?" he asked, screaming over the music.

"Yeah!" I screamed back mumbling a little something about me enjoying it until he came over, which he didn't hear.

"So, I was thinking we should go out sometime!" he yelled.

"Sorry, but I can't." I told him.

"Is this about Cullen?!" he screamed, he looked angry.

"What?" I asked.

"Are you going out with Edward?!"

"Why does it matter?" I asked him, I didn't see how this concerned him, once again.

"Because Bella, we're supposed to be together!" he yelled, and this yell wasn't just to be heard over the music, it was out of anger. I tried to move away from him but he grabbed me and pulled me towards him.

"Let me go!" I screamed, trying to kick him, which wasn't really working too well.

"No, we belong together Bella!"

"Get your hands off of her!" I heard someone say behind us.

Mike spun around and I saw who the voice was, it was Edward. He looked pissed too.

"Aw, so cute. Edward to the rescue." Mike sneered. "You don't get her Edward, not anymore."

"Stop it Mike." Edward said sternly, moving towards us.

"What are you going to do?" Mike asked. "Beat me up? You wouldn't want to accidentally hurt Bella now would you?" he asked harshly.

Everyone around us stopped dancing and the music had stopped as everyone anticipated a fight.

"He's not worth it Edward." I told Edward, he looked at me for the first time and looked like he was about to say something.

"Yeah Eddie, I'm not worth it." Mike said with a laugh at the end. "You wouldn't want Bella to know about our little bet would you?" Mike asked.

He still had a grip on me, but it didn't hurt as much, and even less when I heard his question to Edward. Bet? What bet?

"Mike, don't." Edward told him.

"Oh, so she really doesn't know?" Mike asked.

"Edward?" I asked, confused.

"You see Bella, him and I made a bet to see who would get a date with you first. Turns out, Edward waited to long so now I get you." Mike said right before he was knocked to the ground by Edward and tackled by Jasper and Emmett.
