Chapter 8

it didn't seem like the Cullen's ate much at dinner but i pigged out, Esme was such a good cook. After dinner we went to the living room and started a fire. It felt like i was around family not friends. I sighed looking around the room, Edward turned to me a smiled. I was really enjoying this, i looked around the room at my friends. Alice and Emmet sat side by side on the couch fighting over what Christmas special we should watch, Rosalie was siding with Emmet saying that the classic Christmas carol was best. And her brother Jasper sided with Alice saying that the muppets did a much better job. Carlise and Esme were curled up on the love seat watching as there kids fought.

Edward and i locked eyes. Which do you like? I asked him. He just shrugged. I like the muppets think my option counts? He laughed. "probably not, but it is your house" i smiled.

"I like the Muppet's one best my self" i smiled as Emmet glared at me.

"then its settled this is her house" Alice smiled, then turned to stick her tongue out at her brother.

I leaned against the large chair i was sitting in getting comfortable. I watched as the movie started up, when i looked back i noticed that Edward had moved from the ground to beside me in the chair. "Do you mind?" he asked.

I smiled. "No, not at all" who would mind, i thought. I looked over to Edward and saw him laugh. Realization hit me then, Edward heard that, i could feel the heat raising to my cheeks. You heard that didn't you?

"sure did" he smiled. Little cocky aren't we i smiled and turn my attention back to the movie. When it finished all eyes were on Edward.

I looked up at him. What?

"Carlise, Esme. We would all like to know if we could each open a gift?" Edward asked. This was cute, it was like a family thing. I turned to Esme and Carlise as well.

"Of Course you can. But only one" Esme smiled.

Alice who i guessed had done all the shopping picked us each out one gift from under my large tree.

"You go first" she said with a smiled.

I looked down at the wrapped box in my hand. There was a small tag under the bow, i lifted the bow and looked at the tag. To: Kristen, Love; Alice and Jasper. I smiled.

"Thank you guys" i pulled the bow off and slipped off the paper. Inside was a large box i pulled the flaps out and stared inside. Sitting in the books was a light green sweater that fell off the shoulders under it was a part of very expensive looking sun glass and a book. I picked up the book and looked at the title, Car Repair for Dummies. Edward laughed next to me.

"Thank you very much guys its beautiful."

"The book was Emmet's idea" Jasper smiled. "Rose wouldn't let him put it in theirs"

"thank you Emmet. I'm sure it will come in handy someday" i smiled and watched as the Cullen's opened their gifts. The boys each got a very expensive looking watch from Esme and Carlise. Rose got a diamond necklace that looked gorgeous on her pale skin, from Emmet and Alice got a large topaz ring from Jasper. Carlise opened his from Esme, she gave him a very large old looking book that he really loved, he gave her a necklace with the word forever in diamonds. When we were finished we turned the classic Christmas Carol but i didn't make it past the first ghost before i fell asleep, still with Edward at my side.

I dreamed of being part of the Cullen's Family. Having the beauty, the pale skin, the family bond. I dreamt of going on family hiking trips, going to baseball games. I dreamt of spending Christmas in their large white house, eating Esme amazing cooking. And even thought i had known them for four months and never really felt any attraction to Edward, i dreamt of sitting on the large chair in the Cullen's living room, leaning my head back on Edwards chest, feeling his chest move with each breath having his stone arms wrapped around me like he would never let me go, this was the dream that took me fulling under, with one last thought i wonder if Edward could see me dreams, this thought made my cheeks burn red.
