A Lost Bet

Plotting My Revenge.

"How was work today?" Bella asks when I come through her door.

"It's absurdly boring." She laughs at my reply.

"Well, that's what you get for betting against Alice." Her smile calms me down, it's like she has Jasper's powers. She finishes up the last of the dishes. and turns to me. She wraps herself around me and I feel her nuzzle her head under my chin. I breathe in her sweet aroma. Her hair smells like strawberries, mixed with the wonderful smell of her blood.

"That's true." I sigh in to her hair. "I do want to get revenge though."

"How do you suppose you're going to do that?" Bella asks in my chest.

"I don't know, but I know the perfect deal."

"Do tell."

"No shopping for one month." Bella gasps and looks in to my eyes

"You wouldn't dare!" I laugh at her reaction, becoming more amused. "She would kill you."

I nod bringing her close to me. "It's perfect for payback." Bella chuckles at the idea of Alice not being able to shop. Alice would go crazy!

Now, I just have to think of a bet. I can hear Charlie's cruiser pull into the driveway. Cullen. He thinks with haste. I sigh pulling Bella to the table. What do I have to do to make Charlie happy?

"Bells? You home?" Charlie yells in the house, even though he already knows the answer.

"Yeah, dad, in the kitchen." She tries to smile as I move away from here. "I made dinner."

Charlie walks in to the kitchen with a smile on his face. "Thanks, Bella." He takes a look at me and then back at the table; set for two. "Do you ever eat, son?" Charlie asks unconsciously.

"Dad!" Bella exclaims getting furious with him.

"Oh crap, did I just day that out loud?"

"Either you did or I just read your mind." Bella spits out as she plates the meals.

"I'm sorry, Bella."

"Seriously? Did you just apologize to me?"

"Edward, I'm sorry too." Not. I fake a smile and nod.

"It's okay, Chief, I know you didn't mean any harm." He smiles when I called him chief.

"Honestly, dad, Edward can take care of himself." She chuckles. I just smile trying to look innocent.

"Okay." Charlie says as he digs in to his steak and potatoes Bella prepared. I walk in to the living room to give them some time together. I stare at the televison, thinking about the bet. I don't want to do anything with Bella again. Maybe a race? No, that won't do. How about something with Emmett and Rosalie, they're really predictable... maybe too predictable. Maybe a wrestling match between Jasper and Emmett. No, hands down Emmett would win. I must be staring intently at the television because next thing I know there's a hand waving in front of my eyes.

"I didn't know you liked golf so much." I shake my head as Bella laughs. "Edward you looked like you were a statue." She whispers so Charlie wouldn't hear. I chuckle.

"I was just thinking, love." She looks at me with her forehead wrinkled up. "About the bet."

"Oh. Did you come up with anything?"

"Well, I was thinking about a race." At that Alice is calling me on my cell phone. I answer it quickly. "Hello?"

"Edward Masen Cullen! There is no way you're going to get me not to shop, so stop trying to think of plots!" She screams in my ear. I hold the phone away from my ear. Bella giggles. "Don't forget that I can see the future, brother!" She hangs up before I can say anything.

Bella raises her eyebrows.

"She knows I'm plotting." Bella smiles.

"I think your just going to have to suffer the consequence, Edward." I frown at the thought. "I'll help if you want." She smiles at me and wraps her arms around my neck. She kisses my cheek. I turn my head to kiss her on the lips, and then Charlie walks in. He coughs to let us know he's in the room. We break quickly, and I stand up.

"I probably need to go. See you later Bella." I give her a quick kiss on her cheek. I whisper softly, "I'll be here tonight, love." She nods a little and squeezes my hand as I walk away.

"Bye Edward." Charlie yells from his chair.

"Bye Chief." I walk out of the house and in to my car, still thinking about what I can do for a bet.


A/N: I need ideas.. what should I have him do for a bet? Because so far, my ideas are very predictable for Alice. Feedback is welcome!!!
