A Lost Bet
I Will Not Bet Against You
BPOV
"I want a good clean fight. Ready?" Emmett and I fall down to a crouching stance.
"Ready." I say, and Emmett says it the same time as me. Esme backs away.
"Wrestle." I stay where I am, trying to listen to what Emmett's move is going to be. Right in front. She won't be expecting this.
I move over to the left and Emmett lands on the spot next to me. The whole family bursts out in laughter. I can hardly hold in mine. Emmett growls and lunges towards me again and I move to the right. He lands at the spot I was in.
"That's it!" Emmett growls and lunges in the air to my side. I don't really know where to move because he seems to take up a lot of space. So I do what comes to me naturally.
I freeze him.
Emmett's frozen expression is hilarious. I quickly move out of the way and unfreeze him. Alice, Jasper, and Edward are all blatantly laughing their heads off. The rest of the family are trying their hardest to hold in the laughs.
Emmett lands on the ground with confusion written all over his face. I let out a small chuckle and charge at him. Our bodies hit each other with a BANG! I knock him back on to the ground and holds his arms down so he can't hold me down. Emmett growls and snaps at my face. I growl back and pin him down. Esme comes up beside us and start counting. Emmett growls even louder and throws me off of him. I land on my butt.
"Oomf." Came out of me as I try to set myself on to my feet. Emmett comes charging at me and gets me pinned on the ground. I got her. I'm going to win! So much for Alice and seeing the future.
I laugh at Emmett. He looks at me confused, as Esme starts to count. "Emmett, don't you know not to bet against, Alice?"
I kick him off of me and freeze him on the ground. I rush to his side before unfreezing him, and I tackle him down to the ground again. This time, using all of my strength, to pin him and keep him down. Esme counts off again, and this time she makes it to ten with me still on top of Emmett. Emmett curses as I jump off of him in victory.
"Aw! No fair! You're not allowed to use your powers. I want a re-match!"
"Emmett, you should have stated those specific rules before we started the match." Edward smirks. I chuckle and stand beside my loving husband.
"So there." I stick my tongue out at Emmett and duck behind Edward when Emmett pretends to chase me. Alice smiles gleefully.
"I told you Bella would win." She says patting Emmett's arm. Rosalie chuckles beside Emmett.
"Rose! You're supposed to support me!"
"I'm sorry, Emmett, it's just that... You knew Bella was a newborn. And you still thought you'd beat her?" We all burst out in laughter again. Emmett, included.
"Oh man, how can I be so stupid. All right, Bella you won fair and square. But I want to have a rematch when you're out of the newborn stage."
"Deal. But you'd probably win anyway." I look over at Alice and she just shrugs her shoulders. Stupid pixie, always hiding the future from us less unfortunate ones.
"Bella, you should take a shower again."
"Why? I just took one!" Alice giggles and takes out a mirror from out of nowhere. I swear she hides these things in like an invisible pocket. She shows me my reflection and I laugh. I have leaves and twigs in my hair. And my clothes are all dirty. I almost look like Victoria, when we first met her, except I don't have that fiery red hair.
Edward kisses the top of my head. "We should head back up and take a shower."
I take the hint and gladly run up the stairs with him to our bathroom. Edward and I pile in to the shower again rinsing out my dirty hair and body.
"You're beautiful, love." I chuckle.
"You're not so bad yourself." Edward chuckles and kisses me. We finish with the shower and Edward dries us off. I run out in to my room, with my towel wrapped around my body, and grab out a brand new outfit to wear.
Edward wraps his arms around my waist and kisses my neck. "You smell delicious."
"Thanks, hun." I say sarcastically and he laughs.
"No really, you do. I love the smell of your shampoo."
"Strawberries. My favorite." We finish up getting dressed and walk down the stairs. Alice greets us with a smile and continues watching the television with Jasper. Edward and I take a seat on our couch and watch the news with them.
EPOV
Bella and I are watching the news with Alice and Jasper. She sits comfortably by my side with her head resting on my chest. Emmett and Rosalie walk in to the living room. Emmett is freshly clean. All of us, one big family are together. No hostility. Nothing. Perfect.
There are a few topics here and there talking about some recent flooding that happened in a certain county. It seemed to called one of the major floods New Hampshire has seen in a long time. Nothing else new was on. Well, if you don't count the elections, but there's never anything "new" about them.
Alice leans back against Jasper and closes her eyes. I know she sees something. I try to tap in to her mind again, but she blocks me out. She giggles and whispers something to Jasper who in turn blocks me out of his head, too. Bella looks up at me in confusion.
What are they hiding from us? She asks in my head. I shake my head.
I don't know, love. But from the look of things, it can't be good.
Do you think it's another bet?
I sure hope not. We both chuckle causing the members of my family to look at us.
"Aw, great, now we have two non communication couples." Emmett complains and we all laugh.
"We are communicating, Emmett." I say as a matter-of-fact.
"Yeah, we're just communicating in our minds." Bella smiles. Emmett rolls his eyes and focuses back on the television.
One... Two... Three... Alice counts in her head and she jumps up.
"Guess what! I just thought of another bet... Edward I bet-" Alice stands there frozen and I look over at Bella who shakes her head.
"I told you that I wouldn't let her make a bet with you." She smirks tapping her finger against her mouth. "Hmmm. I wonder."
Bella walks over to Alice and takes her arm to move, and it does. "Interesting!"
Emmett quietly shakes with laughter as Rosalie tries to hide in hers as well. Bella takes Alice's hand and covers her mouth with it. "Fantastic."
She unfreezes Alice- "Mwat myou mand."
Alice's eyes widen in shock as she takes her hand off of her mouth. "What the heck?"
We all burst out in to laughter as Alice pouts and stomps her foot. That sends Emmett in to more laughter fits. "Did- Did y-you j-just stamp your f-foot?" Emmett's body shakes.
"Shut up! Bella I can't believe you would ever do that!"
"Sorry, Alice. But I promised Edward that if you tried to make a bet with him, I'd stop you. Besides, I knew you were going to forgive me sooner or later."
"How about never!"
"Alice, you're going to need to go shopping sometime..." Bella smirks.
"I'll take Rose!" Rosalie's face hardens.
"Alice, let me think about it, and I'll give you an answer later. Or you'll just find out anyway." Alice pouts even more as I'm trying to calm myself down from laughter. With a little help from Jasper, it works.
"Thanks Jasper." I mutter under my breath. Alice stands beside Jasper hiding her face from us as we all calm down.
"Aw, Alice, don't be like that. Come on, I'm sorry, okay?" Bella's face softens, feeling guilty about hurting Alice's feelings.
Alice sniffs and turns her head to see that she's smiling so big her lips could fall off her face. "Tricked ya!" She laughs and hugs Bella tightly and plants a chaste kiss on her cheek. "I forgive you Bella. But can I say what I was going to say?"
"No, Alice. I will not, repeat, will not bet against you ever again."
"Aw, Eddie!!"
"Stop calling me that!" I scream feeling slightly flustered, that my pixie of a sister won't take the hint that I absolutely hate that nickname.
Alice laughs it off and sits back down on the chair. "Whatever. Please??"
"Fine."
"I bet a weeks worth of shopping that you won't be able to think up of a song that described last night." I can feel Bella tense up in embarrassment. I look down embarrassed as well. Why is Alice bringing up Bella and mine's personal life.
"And If I can't?"
"Then you have to, take me out shopping and model all the clothes I buy!" I cringe. Now I really have to think of a song that described Bella and mine's time last night. I don't want to wear clothes that don't fit me, and besides I don't think I look appealing in a mini skirt...
I think long and hard, and finally a song that I had heard on the radio a couple days ago comes through my head.
It's you and me
Moving at the speed of light into eternity
Tonight is the night
To join me in the middle of ecstasy
Feel the melody and the rhythm of the music around you, around you
"Forever by Chris Brown." I say with a smile. Alice frowns.
"But you weren't suppose to know!"
"Ah, but you forgot about Bella. Didn't you?" Bella chuckles and taps her mind.
"I think I can block your powers, Alice."
"No!"
"Yes..."
"But no one's ever won a bet-"
"There's a first time for everything, Alice." Bella cuts in and she smiles. I kiss her on the nose.
There surely is a first time for everything.
Alice lost her own bet.
It's better than any revenge I could have done.
