Chapter 12

"Bella? Bella?" I heard someone calling my name while lightly being shaken.

"Hmm…." Was all I could get out of my mouth.

"Bella……we're at the house already. You gonna wake up."

"No….just a little longer daddy." I nestled more into what felt like a body pillow, wrapping my arms around it and squeezing tight.

I heard laughing and felt whatever I was hugging vibrating along with the laugh. Wait, body pillows don't laugh…..or vibrate for that matter. I ran my hand upwards along what I thought was a pillow and felt warm skin under my fingertips. Finally, my mind caught up with my actions as I realized where I was last and who was next to me. Shit! I was in the Jeep next to Edward. My eyes shot open looking around the Jeep and sure enough, I was still next to Edward. It was only us two in the car. Everyone else must have gone inside.

"Oh my god! I'm sorry Edward!"

"That's alright, daddy understands." He winked.

I punched him in the arm. "Shut up! I talk in my sleep, and it's a known fact NOT to say anything to me during that time because I WILL talk back to you." I slapped my forehead. "Ohhh….this is so embarrassing!"

"Chill Bella, it's not that bad."

"I called you daddy, Edward."

"That's why it's not so bad." He flashed his sexy crooked grin. I couldn't help but laugh at the whole situation that just happened.

"Well I guess I might as well find the humor in it then, rather that shoving my head in some hole in the ground."

"Exactly, besides, if you did that I wouldn't be able to see that blush of yours." I instinctively threw my hands up to my cheeks to cover my traitorous blush since I know they would gain more color since he mentioned it.

"Works every time." He shook his head will chuckling. "So, are you coming inside or what?"

"Shouldn't I be asking you that question?" Oh Yeah!! I started jumping up and down in my head. "Looks like I'm not the only blusher around here."

"What did I say about you and that dirty mouth?" Edward swung the door open to the Jeep and grabbed me throwing me over his shoulder.

I couldn't stop laughing as I hit him against his back yelling for him to put me down.

"Bella bad….Bella need to be taught lesson." Edward started talking a caveman similar to the one from that cheesy ass movie Encino Man. I decided for some odd reason to throw a line from there just for the fun of it.

"Shooosh! Put me down you caveman!" I laughed.

Edward stopped right in front of the front door and set me down. "Did you really just quote that crapfest movie?"

"Yes I did….When I think cave man….I sadly think of that movie." I was trying to catch my breath from laughing and being upside down.

"Wow you have issues, Bella. Once you start quoting Paulie Shore movies, you know your life went down the wrong path." He sighed.

"Oh whatever punk! You obviously KNEW where that line came from, so you aren't too far behind me on that path buddy."

"Damn, you got me there. In that case let's carpool."

"You got it dude!" I gave him the thumbs up sign.

Edward shook his head. "And now you are quoting Full House. I'll be driving on our wrong path for that last quote."

"Ok, I can agree to that. So are we going inside?"

"Such a rush to get away from me, but sure. Let's go in." That was far from the truth, but I wouldn't say that out loud. Edward opened the door letting me go in before him. The others were settled in the living room watching T.V.

"About time you guys came in. You're a heavy sleeper Bella. We got tired of trying to wake you up. You're lucky Edward has patience, or you would have still been crashed out in that back seat." Alice said from the couch. She was lying down with her head on Jaspers lap.

"Yeah, I've been told that. I'm surprised I hear my alarm clock in the mornings." I shrugged. "Well kids, I think it's about that time I be on my way."

"Wait why?"

Alice sat up from Jaspers lap, "Hey….That's my line Edward!" Yelled Alice with her eyebrows scrunched in anger toward Edward. Her face got softer as she looked at me, "Why Bella? You don't want to stay the night again?"

"No it's not that. I just don't want to overstay my welcome, and I have some things to do at home." Lies. I had nothing to do at home, but the first part was absolutely true.

"You're not overstaying your welcome Bella. We're happy to have you here."

"Damn it Edward! Go get a coke from the kitchen or run around the back yard, I'm trying to work my magic and you keep opening your mouth! I was just about to work the pout when you interrupted."

Edward rolled his eyes and went to plop down on an open couch like an 8year old little boy just being scolded for sneaking in the cookie jar.

"Let me just save you some time, the pout won't work now that I know it's coming." I laughed. Alice shot a glare at Edward obviously blaming him. "Seriously Alice, I'll see you on Monday, and I'll be here next weekend. How does that sound?"

Alice gave a defeated sigh, "Ok….And I'm gonna hold you to that Bella Swan."

"Sure thing, I'll see you guys later." Everyone simultaneously said good bye, all except Edward. I looked at him, giving him a small smile, before turning around and heading out of the front door. I was just about to open the car door when I felt a hand grab the handle at the same time as me. Just by looking, I knew that hand, or those fingers to be more accurate. I let my hand linger there a second before turning around and coming face to face with Edward.

"Are you sure you're ok to drive?" He asked while looking down at me with our bodies almost touching but not just quite. It was like there was an imaginary nun with a ruler between us.

"Yeah I'm fine. Why wouldn't I be? I wasn't tipping back any tequila shots or anything." I said while looking up into his eyes.

Unfortunately, he backed up while opening the door. "I just don't want you to drive sleepy is all. I know you're still tired, and I want you to get home in one piece."

"Oh, well yeah I'm cool. I'm not sure I can say that for any poor shrubs or bushes out there in the world tonight. If I happen to hit one, just know it was their fault not mines. Who knows what could be going on inside a poor bushes mind? He could be suicidal and happen to just jump in front of my car to just end it all. That's just a heads up if you see a headline that a bush was murdered in the town of Forks." I shrugged.

Edward laughed. "Get in the car and be safe getting home you homicidal bush killer."

"Aye Aye Captain!" I saluted.

"Really? Now it's Sponge Bob? What in the world am I going to do with you?" He ran his fingers through his hair for the 100th time today, not that I'm complaining. It was like fingerporn to me. If only I had a remote that could remind and play that shit in slow motion.

I started up the car, "Hmmm…..what are you going to do with me? I'd say, admire my quirkiness." I smiled and nodded.

"Already done," Edward sighed…..yes SIGHED! "I'll catch up with you later Bella."

"Ok, bye Edward."

"Bye Bella." And with that he closed my door. I heard him yell through the glass. "And be careful!"

I gave him another thumbs up sign, and watched him laugh as I reversed and pulled out of their driveway heading toward the main road. Yes I did that cheesy looking back in the rearview mirror thing to see if he was still standing out there. He was. I smiled to myself and shot glances at the mirror till I could no longer see him anymore.

I had to look like an idiot walking into my house with a smile like I just won the lottery.

"Did you win the lottery or something?" I jumped as I heard Charlie say from the recliner. I hadn't even noticed him there reading the paper.

"Jeez, dad! You scared the fuu….Fudge out of me."

Charlie raised his eyebrow and pointed at me. "You're lucky you caught that tongue. You don't want a bar of soap in your mouth right?"

"Please, you'll be standing right beside me with a bar of soap soaked in jalapeño juice with that mouth of yours." I put my hands on my hips like I did when I was a little girl demanding his attention.

"Well…. Uhhhh….Shit. You got me there. BUT just because I do it, doesn't mean I want my little girl to."

"Ok dad," I went to give him a kiss on his cheek, "I won't talk like that…..around you that is! Good Night!" I ran upstairs to my room before he could say anything more. I kicked my shoes, pants, and socks off and removed my shirt replacing it with a cami, and climbed into bed. I grabbed my laptop and laid in front of it on my stomach while kicking my legs back and forth. As the computer was starting up, I couldn't help but think about how the day had gone. It was like a roller coaster. The beginning was awesome, the middle was pure and utter torture, and the ending was blissful. The feeling of sleeping in Edwards's arms, hearing his heart beat, and that giddy feeling I got while looking at him as he stood and watched me leave. AND he understood my crazy mind! Who else would be so accepting of the corny movie lines I quoted. Hell, WHO would have known what I was talking about to begin with!

Too bad this was going to have to change a bit being that I found out about Edwards whole jealously plan. I got to give it to the guy though, that was a well played move. He must know how territorial girls can get when it comes to their property, and I don't care if he wasn't technically mine YET, he will be one day. I don't want him tainted by a skank like Jessica, which leads to my hands off mentality. Also, I didn't want someone having what I didn't. What is that called? Oh yeah, Jealousy. His plan was so good that I was gonna change that shit up and use it against his sneaky ass. I just haven't figured out a way how to yet, but when I did….Ohhh…watch out Edward Cullen because Bella has just joined the game, and I'm more than sure that I can play it just as good as him, if not better. But as for now like at this very second, I'll just indulge in my reading addiction until I have that Ah-ha light bulb moment.

As I logged onto my personal heroin website and started searching through reading material to spoil myself with, preferably rated M thank you very much, what? Don't judge me! You guys know you do it too! Anyway, as I was reading a summary to a story called "Seeking Asylum" I knew it was the perfect one to pull me into that world. That was until I was interrupted by my phone indicating that I had an incoming message. I groaned putting my face down into the bed. It never fails! Once I'm in my zone, someone has to interrupt. I was seriously hoping that it was not my mom telling me some useless piece of information like, "Hey I just got my hair trimmed." I wasn't in the mood for that, and I wouldn't be able to stop my fingers from typing some rude comment back that shouldn't ever be sent to your mother. I picked up the phone and pressed the message button on my phone. Ahhhh….the powers of touch screen. It saved our lazy generation from over stressing our fingers by scrolling through our phones, going through three screens just to get to our message. Glad those days are over for me.

I opened the message from an unknown number. It had a simple, "Good Night, Bella" message.

Who the hell was this?? I haven't given out my number recently to anyone except Alice.

Who the fuck is this and how did you get my number?

Wow…I seriously needed to take classes on how to be subtle. No, screw that. I wanted to know how this person got my number.

-----Am I being interrogated? Are we going to play good cop bad cop?

No more like mob boss offing a person for getting into their personal business. Once again, WHO….IS….THIS…..? I even spoke or typed slow for you so it could function in that brain of yours

-----I'm whoever you want me to be.

I want you to be a dead person. Can you be that?

-----That's kind of morbid. Do you have some kind of necrophilia fetish? That's kinda sexy.

Why, are you going to grant my wishes?

-----**grabs a razor blade, some Clorox, a WHOLE bottle of aspirin, and the full season of Keeping up with the Kardashisans** Maybe.

I would be Soooo lucky, but first, I want to know who this is before I let you play in my fantasy.

----Ok…

Okkkkkk……

---You spelled Ok wrong. You put one too many "K's" in there.

Why thank you for pointing that out…..How about you give me some hints.

----I can do that. Let's see, I'm a human.

Well I'm glad to hear that. I can scratch Marvin the Martian off the list. Next?

----I have a full head of hair.

Ok….So Hulk Hogan is off the list. How about we get this rolling and I ask you…..Do you live in Forks?

---Yes

Do you go to Forks High School?

---Unfortunately

Do we have a class together?

---Sneaky, you're trying to narrow your people down. I plead the 5th.

Punk…Ok you're turn for clues.

---Ok….I have a fetish also.

Oh yeah….Do tell.

---I have a fetish for girls who murder shrubs and bushes.

You fucking asshole!!!! How did you get my number EDWARD!!!?!?!?!!?!?!?

---Easy, I asked Alice for it!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Why were you excited to write that? And why was it in the form of a question?

---I don't know….It looked fun, and I got lost in the moment thinking I was on Jeopardy.

You're a loser.

---This coming from the girl who quotes Encino Man…..This says something.

Yeah it says I'm awesome.

---Whatever you say. So what are you doing?

I'm cleaning my car of evidence……bush murder.

---You really hit a bush?

No! I CAN drive you know.

---Well you're a woman. It's a known fact that your species can't drive. BTW you have unlimited text right? I don't want to waste all your messages.

Of course I do. And fuck you; we girls get a bad rap! You guys are spreading these rumors damn it!

---Whoa that was hot, say fuck you again….this time do it sloooowwer.

Fuuuuuuccckkkk YOU!

---Wow, you came quickly on that last word.

*gasp* Prudy Judy made a dirty joke! : O---- that's supposed to be a shocked face.

---Very creative. And yup, I was naughty naughty….You gonna spank me? ;) --that's a wink!

Hahah…..I see you got the creative juices running also.

---That's not the only juices. ;) BAM!! I did it again!

You're an idiot.

---That I can't deny.

Soooo

---Soooo….You going to sleep?

Yeah, I guess so. You?

---Yeah. I'm pretty tired from today.

I am too…..Well good night Daddy!

-- - : O **goes to sleep happy after that last comment** Good Night Bella.

I closed my laptop, not even the slightest bit angry that I was pulled from my zone. The zone I was just in happened to be TONS better. I slipped under the covers and fell to sleep hoping that Edward would grace my dreams with his presence.

AN- Ok, Hope that was worth your liking. Also, that story that Bella looked up is actually a real story written by a good friend of mine. Ya'll should check it out!!!
