I Caught Myself.
Edward and his mates celebrate the return of Emmett, who has just returned from L.A. for university. He brings along his new girlfriend and her closest friends. Emmett's new girlfriend, the cocky but shy Bella Swan, turns out to be the girl of Edward's dreams … but his best friend's girl. Does she feel the same way? And how will Emmett take this?
RATED M FOR THE OBVIOUS REASONS. AU/AT/AH. And I don't own Twilight or anything related to it. It's just one of those things that we can play around with.
I got the idea for this fic from the song "Crush" by David Archuleta.
A/N: So, chapter four!
In this chapter, feelings are known and confusion is in the air. But after a harmless game of truth or dare, everyone's thoughts are changed, and decisions, whether good or bad, are made.
Just for you, this is a total Bella & Edward POV chapter! I've decided to make it only them, unless something that happens that involves someone else, I'll make a POV for them.
Once again you will find everyone's outfits in my profile and there is an author's note at the bottom.
Chapter Four – Unwanted Revelations
Edward POV
I awoke with a start, to the noise outside of my bedroom door. There was laughter and talking with banging which made it all very annoying. I didn't feel like getting up. I had a really good dream … and I couldn't remember it. All I knew was that every bone in my body wanted to go back to it. But I didn't know how.
So I opted for the other option, which was to get out of this room. Not bothering to at least change out of my pyjamas, I slowly walked out of my bedroom, not caring about how much noise I made; I practically slammed the door open. Everyone jumped at the noise. Rosalie and Jasper were on the couch, laughing at the cartoon they were watching on T.V. Keira had just walked out of the bathroom whilst Alice and Jacob were washing the dishes. The two people who I was trying to avoid were Bella and Emmett, who were making out on the couch. The noise I made startled Bella so much, she had jumped off from the couch and now Emmett was helping her up.
"Edward!" Alice squealed, running towards me with soapy hands. "Are you hungry?"
"Definitely," I replied, looking at Bella and Emmett from the corner of my eye, who had now settled into a hug, watching T.V. with Rosalie and Jasper. I could feel that Alice noticed, so I quickly looked away.
Alice had made hash browns, and I ate all four of mine in one go. She giggled as I handed her my finished plate. "What's on the agenda today?" I asked, taking a sip of my coffee.
"Well, I need to go grocery shopping, and no one seems too interested in that, but Jacob is coming to help me anyway." She smiled at him, and he winked, which almost made me puke into my cup. I've known Alice and Jacob for too long and have seen them bicker for too long to see them like this.
"And everyone else?" I asked, trying to focus Alice's attention elsewhere.
"They've decided to stay in and play video games or some boring shit."
"Hey!" Jacob exclaimed. "Video games are awesome."
Alice flicked some soap into Jacob's face, while he started to flick some water into hers. To escape from them flirting, I quickly gulped down the rest of my coffee, and quickly walked back to my room. When I emerged back, Emmett and Bella were making out again. As I walked to the bathroom, I slammed the door again, suddenly remembering what my dream was.
*
I walked out of my bathroom, to find Emmett, Jasper and Jacob playing a video game, with Rosalie hovering by the T.V. screen in attempts to distract them, and Alice standing behind Jacob.
I walked up to Alice and tapped her on the shoulder. "What's going on?"
"Oh thank God! A living man!" she exclaimed. "Those three are completely glued to the T.V. and now that my shopping buddy is completely brain dead, I have to go alone." She made a sad puppy face.
"Well, what about Rosalie?" I said, gesturing towards the T.V.
Rosalie straightened up and glared at me. "Um, no way. Grocery shopping is boring! If we were going clothing shopping, we wouldn't be her anymore."
I raised my eyebrows at her and looked back at Alice, who was still looking at me with her sad puppy face. It took me a while to process what she meant. "Oh, all right."
She jumped up and down in excitement, said goodbye to Rosalie (not bothering to say goodbye to the guys) and walked out of the apartment. I waved bye to Rosalie, and she smiled back. I saw her wearing really high shoes, and wondered how on Earth they could wear them on a daily basis. I was then glad to see Alice, who was waiting for me by the lifts that she had flat shoes on.
I could feel her looking up at me, so I looked at her. She was giving me another face, but this one I couldn't really decode. "What?" I asked blankly at her.
"Is there something you would like to tell me?" she said in a knowing tone.
I raised my eyebrow at her this time. "No … why?"
"Because we normally tell each other everything."
I gaped at her as the lift came to our floor, and I followed her into the lift, already knowing that this wasn't going to be like any other shopping trip.
Bella POV
Keira and I walked into Starbucks, inhaling all of its goodness. We decided to get out of that apartment and away from everyone else and just have some sisterly time like we used to.
We queued up behind the long line of people ordering coffee, which gave us enough time to decide on what we should get. But that wasn't needed, as when we reached the counter, Keira asked the lady about almost all the coffees on the menu board, just because she loves trying something new. She finally settled on Organic Serena Blend, whilst I ordered the Italian Roast and a chocolate chip muffin, which was the usual.
We walked over to the place where you picked up your coffee. We waited quietly for our coffee, while I picked out all of the chocolate chips from my muffin. When we got our coffees, we found a table in the corner of the shop and sat down.
Keira watched me sip my coffee. "You know, you should try something different."
I eyed her. "Hey. Italian Roast is nice."
"I never said it wasn't," she giggled.
We sat there for a while, just sipping our coffees and picking at my muffin.
Keira sighed, and looked at me. "So how's that thing with Edward?"
"What thing?" I asked, beginning to feel hot in the face.
"You know, the whole liking thing."
I shifted uncomfortably. "What do you mean?"
She looked like I just asked her why the sky was blue. "Do you still have a thing for him?!"
I chew on my lip and played with the cupcake holder. I nodded slowly.
I looked up at Keira. She was sipping her coffee and was looking out of the window. My stomach suddenly felt very heavy. "Is that bad?"
She quickly turned her head to look at me. "I still believe what I said before. It'll pass."
I groaned. "I don't really think it will, Keirs."
She put her coffee on the table roughly. "It's only been two fucking days since we've talked about this, you know."
I shook my head quickly. "Sorry. I just feel so bad. And I know, I know, it'll pass, but I just want it to soon so I can stop worrying about it."
Keira took my hands into hers and looked at me straight in the eyes. "Bella, don't worry about it. It's a passing phase. Only worry about it if you two end up having sex or something."
"Keira!" I exclaimed. She always knew how to make me feel better.
We finished our coffees and walked slowly back to the apartment.
Keira offered me a cigarette, which I took and she lighted it for me. I don't normally smoke; it's usually a one of thing.
"If Edward ever dated someone else, would you be upset?" Keira asked me out of the blue.
"I don't know, why?"
"Just wondering …" she took a drag, and looked anywhere but at me.
"You like him too, don't you?" I asked pointedly.
"No!" she blurted out. "I was just wondering, that's all!"
"Sure, sure," I laughed.
Edward POV
We walked into the crowded Wal-Mart, grabbing a trolley by Alice's request, and began to stroll around the fruit and vegetable section. I was basically the trolley pusher, whilst Alice picked up whatever she wanted.
When we got into the actual aisles, Alice ringed arms with me. "Something you'd like to tell me?"
I was dreading this moment. "Depends," I sad mysteriously. "What do you want me to tell you?"
She groaned quietly, but quiet enough for me to hear. "You know what I mean, Edward."
I gave her my best poker face, and I think she bought it, because she said, "About Bella silly!"
"Oh, what about her?"
"Do you like her?" Alice asked, beginning to twirl around the aisle with a jar of jam in her hand.
"Alice watch out!" I said, pulling her away from the incoming children.
"Don't avoid my question!" she exclaimed, obviously not noticing that she almost ran over someone.
"I'd rather not talk about it here," I said, looking at the people around me.
"Ugh, they don't know us Edward. Just answer the fucking question!"
"Okay, please don't swear. You only do that when you get angry."
"Which I am now because you're not answering my question!"
"Okay okay, sorry! What was the question?"
She slapped me on the arm playfully as we turned the corner into the next aisle.
"Do. You. Like. Bella?" she asked slowly.
"Yeah sure, she's a cool chick," I said, putting on my poker face again.
"What about as something else?" she asked, obviously getting excited.
I couldn't help but laugh, which was my equivalent to a woman blushing, and Alice knew this.
"You do! You do!" she squealed.
"Alice! Shut up! Everyone is staring!" I said, trying feebly to distract her.
"And since when do you care if people are staring at you, Edward Cullen?"
The little pixie knew me too well. But she took my advice and shut up for the next 15 minutes, which I was relieved by. But my heart rate increased once she started talking again, about her.
"Since when did this happen?" she asked, as if she was asking what brand of washing powder I use.
"If you must know, ever since I first saw her."
Alice cooed, and I hit her playfully on the ass. "You shouldn't do that, Alice."
"Do what?"
"Egg me on."
"Egg you on to do what? Hit my ass?" She giggled.
"No, egg me on about Bella. It's wrong."
"And how is that?"
I looked at her as if she just asked me where babies come from. "Because she's Emmett's girlfriend, Alice! He's my guy best friend. It's like driving his Jeep into a lake."
"Love isn't predictable, Edward. It's not your fault you find Bella so attractive."
"That's not the point Alice," I whispered.
She looked at me, worried. "What do you mean?"
"It's like before," I whispered again.
It took Alice a while to remember what on Earth I was talking about. "Are you sure it's the same as then?"
"Of course I'm sure Alice, it's the exact same."
Alice looked at me with immense worry. "Don't worry Edward. I'm here for you."
So we hugged in the middle of the Asian food aisle. People stared at us and cleared their throats.
We let go, and she gave me her 'are-you-going-to-be-okay?' face. I nodded, and she rubbed me on my back. We began to shop again for a while, Alice quietly picking up items from the shelves and me pushing the trolley behind her.
To take my mind of things, I decided to talk about something else. "So, what's with you and Jacob, aye Alice?"
She stopped dead in her tracks and I almost ran into her. She swivelled around, not noticing that I almost ploughed into her. "What's that supposed to mean?"
I chuckled. "Well, before you both used to bicker all the time, and you both used to tell me how much you annoy each other etcetera, etcetera, and now you're both practically dating!"
"We are not dating," she said firmly.
"Hm, right, and what's this phase you're with him now called?"
"Oh, I don't know Edward, were just mucking around. Don't take it so seriously."
"Oh I don't think I'm not the one taking it seriously," I said smugly, winking.
"Shut up Edward," she mumbled, and I laughed.
Bella POV
We walked into the lobby of the apartment, laughing our heads off at a story Keira recounted of the past. As we walked towards the lifts, everyone started at us as if we were mad, but we just ignored them. I loved spending time with my sister.
When the lift came, none other than Edward and Alice were occupying it already, shopping bags swarming around their feet. Keira nudged me in the ribs, as I took in what he was wearing. He looked gorgeous as usual.
"Hi Bella, Keira!" Alice exclaimed, snapping me out of my trance.
We both smiled at her as we stepped into the lift. Keira made sure I was standing next to Edward when Alice closed the doors.
"Went shopping I see?" Keira said.
"Yup," Alice replied, looking at Edward through the corner of her eye. "You?"
"Just went to get some coffee and have a sisterly chat," Keira replied.
It seemed that all the talking was being done by them and both I and Edward just stood there, the electricity between us going absolutely crazy, both hoping that this elevator will stop soon and never end at the same time.
When the elevator reached our floor, we helped Alice and Edward carry the bags inside. Both mine and Edward's hands would touch occasionally, and we'd smile embarrassingly at each other. Both Keira and Alice seemed to notice, which I (and I could feel Edward too) was totally not comfortable with.
Edward kicked the door of their apartment because all of our hands were full. Rosalie opened the door, with her hair in a mess. "Oh thank God! I tried to get them away from the stupid T.V., but they chased me around the apartment." She wasn't lying; she wasn't wearing her shoes and from what I could see, one was lying near the couch and one near the stairs.
Edward sighed and walked in, and we all followed. He set all of the bags he was holding onto the dining table and walked over to the T.V. Jasper, Emmett and Jacob were sitting there, immersed in some game they were playing.
"Piss of Edward, were almost finished," Emmett growled.
"What do we have to do to make you guys stop?"
They didn't answer. Edward turned to us. "This might get ugly." Alice and Rosalie immediately moved back towards the wall, and both Keira and I followed, confused.
Edward knelt down next to the Xbox, and turned it off.
All three boys swore loudly, launched themselves off the couch and began to advance on Edward, fast. They chased him around the apartment and finally pounced on him in front of the bedrooms, tackling him to the floor and sitting on him.
A few muffled noises and a lot more swearing later, Edward was revealed, now dead looking, as the boys stood up and walked around, stretching their legs.
"Emmett it's a stupid game!" Alice yelled. "You didn't have to squash him!"
"Yeah, and it's on auto save," Edward put in.
Emmett pointed to him, putting an arm around me. "You'll have to pay. All of you."
"What are you going to do Em?" I asked.
Emmett licked his lips, thinking for a moment. "How about a game of truth or dare?"
Edward, Alice and Jacob groaned, whilst the rest of us looked sort of excited.
"No Emmett!" Jacob exclaimed. "Remember last time?"
"Yes, and it was heaps of fucking fun, yeah?"
"Uh, no," Jacob said, with Edward and Alice agreeing.
"Well that's you're payback."
Alice began to make dinner with the help of Jacob whilst Edward watched. Everyone else went to go watch T.V., with me and Emmett following.
"Why don't they like truth or dare, Em?" I asked him, sitting on his lap.
"I really haven't a clue," he said, pulling me into him and smiling smugly.
"Oh, you'll find out," Edward said. He gave me his crooked smile, which I couldn't help but reply with one myself.
Edward POV
After dinner, we all settled into the couches. Keira sat in front of the T.V.; Jasper was sitting on the recliner with Rosalie on the floor beneath him. Jacob was sitting in Emmett's chair (he beat him to it) and Alice was sitting like Rosalie. So that left me, Bella and Emmett on the long couch, with Bella in the middle. Great.
"So how does this work?" Bella asked, looking excited.
"Emmett, can I please do another form of torture?" I quickly interjected.
"No, Edward. You brought this upon yourself," Emmett replied dramatically.
"It's only a game of truth or dare," Rosalie stated. "There's no harm in that."
Alice, Jacob and I looked at her as if she was on drugs for saying that. She leaned back into the chair, looking offended.
"Okay, since its Edward's fault we're playing this, he gets to go first. Truth or dare?" questioned Emmett.
"Truth," I replied, not giving him what he wanted.
He looked hurt by my choice, but asked me a question anyway. "Who in this room would you like to hook up with?"
I groaned. "Do I have to do it afterwards?"
"Sadly no. It's a truth question."
I felt all eyes upon me. Since I sucked at lying, I just said the plain truth. "Bella."
I bit my lip to hide my smile. Jacob, Jasper and Rosalie opened their mouths in shock, whereas Keira and Alice looked like they just won a million dollars. Bella sunk into the couch, blushing like mad. But the face I really looked at was Emmett's. He was staring at the T.V., trying to refocus somewhere else. When I started to feel bad about what I had said, Emmett grinned and looked at me. He obviously pushed away whatever was on his mind.
"Okay, your turn E."
I looked around the room, wondering who to pick. Then I remembered one dream I had a few nights ago. "Bella, truth or dare."
"Dare," she said, looking intrigued.
"I dare you to suck a piece of fruit off of someone's tongue," I said, smiling at the fact she chose dare.
"Okay!" she said, sitting up. "Who?"
Not to make everything obvious by saying me, I chose someone that she wouldn't have thought of. "Jacob's."
I was glad that she looked shocked ay my choice, but she got up anyway. Alice went to cut a piece of apple, looking solemn that she wasn't doing the dare.
She returned, handing Bella the piece of fruit and kneeling near the arm rest. Jacob smiled, obviously happy at what was about to happen, and stuck out his tongue. Bella placed the apple on the tip of his tongue, and went in for the kill; with no hesitation.
It was wild. Everyone was cheering her on as she sucked on Jacob's tongue, obviously taking her time. I was laughing in hysterics at the face Jacob was making. Alice didn't seem too happy about it though; she just knelt there and looked upset. Bella did everything imaginable; she bit, sucked, licked and caressed his tongue. She even bit of a bit of apple while she was doing it.
When Bella finished, we all cheered for her, and I saw that I wasn't the only one in the room that wasn't hard in some sort of way. Bella came back to sit down, triumphant, chewing on the apple. Alice seemed still upset, and I surprisingly saw that Emmett looked surprised. Maybe even disgusted. Bella asked him quietly what was wrong, but he let it slide.
"Your turn, Bella," I said, smiling at her.
She smiled back beautifully, and looked around the room. "Rosalie! Truth or Dare!"
Rosalie thought for a moment. "Truth."
"Okay. If Jasper asked you to marry them tomorrow would you?"
Everyone leaned in closer, waiting for her answer.
"No," she said simply. She caught the look on our faces of bewilderment, so she continued. "Well, I don't know him that well and I'm not prepared to spend the rest of my life someone I don't know that well."
Jasper looked hurt. Bella stood up for him. "Rose, there's something called divorce, and you two seem to be getting along great, and it's not as if you've only just met."
"I still stand by what I said," she said sternly. Jasper looked down at her appalled, and crossed his legs on the sofa, obviously not wanting anymore contact with her.
"Okay," Bella said quickly. "Rose? Your turn."
"Jacob, truth or dare?" she asked, sounding bored.
"Dare," he replied, catching on her tone.
"I dare you to talk dirty to Keira."
Both Keira's and Alice's eyes widened, while Jacob raised his eyebrow. "It's a dare, Jacob, get over it," she snapped.
I'm sure it wasn't just me who thought this was weird. Rosalie, mean? She seemed so nice.
Jacob reluctantly got up and sat beside Keira, whispering things into her ear.
"Um, how are we supposed to hear?" Rosalie questioned.
Jacob looked like he was about to cut her. "Because that's how I roll."
We all sniggered at his comment, except for Rosalie, who seemed unamused. She leant back into the couch, only then realising that Jasper's legs weren't around her anymore. She looked up at him, as if asking why, but his attention was elsewhere; all of ours were.
Jacob continued to whisper things in Keira's ear, and she began to blush furiously by the second. She stared biting her lip and twirling her hair, trying to look away from our gazes. After a long five minutes, Jacob got up and walked back to his chair, obviously glad he had done his job well, as Keira was practically drooling at this point.
"Okay," said Jacob, looking quite pleased. "Rosalie, truth or dare?"
"But I just got picked," Rosalie said, annoyed.
"It's a game Rosalie, get over it," Jacob mocked.
"Fine!" she said, as we all laughed. "Dare."
"I dare you to … Suck Emmett's finger like you would if you were giving him a head job. Make noises too."
Rosalie looked both glad and appalled at the same time. But Emmett just looked plain appalled. He obviously thought, like the rest of us, that Rosalie was a nice girl, but was shocked otherwise.
Rosalie slid next to Emmett on the floor and Emmett gave her a finger, burying his face in Bella's shoulder. Rosalie began to suck and bite his finger, obviously getting really into it. After a few minutes of pure sucking, Rosalie's eyes rolled back into her head and she began to make noises. All the girls almost gagged, but the rest of us were strangely turned on, but hey, we're guys. Ten minutes later, Rosalie let Emmett's finger free. He was so relieved that it was over, but disgusted because his finger was all wet. He picked up a tissue and wiped his finger vigorously. We all laughed, but Rosalie looked upset by the fact that Emmett didn't enjoy it. Serves her right, I believe.
"Jazz, truth or dare?" Rosalie said lazily.
"Dare," he replied, laughing at Emmett smelling his finger.
"I dare you to kiss every piece of exposed skin on Alice, besides her lips."
"What! No!" Alice blurted out.
We all stared at her in mock horror. "What's that supposed to mean?" Jasper questioned, looking slightly hurt again.
"I-I …" Alice stammered, obviously trying to find words.
I could tell what was happening, as it happened last time. "Guys, don't worry, Alice is just a bit stubborn, that's all."
Jacob quickly turned his head to look at me. "She is?"
"Oh Jake you weren't there when it happened." I opened my mouth to explain, but Alice gave me a stern look. I cleared my throat. "Let's just say that's why we hate playing this game with Emmett."
I looked over at Emmett, who seemed oblivious to what we were talking about.
"Are you okay with me to do it, Alice?" Jasper asked, no longer looking hurt but now sympathetic.
Alice looked up at Jacob, who smiled. She looked back at Jacob and nodded slowly.
Jasper seemed somewhat seemed happy as he got up, either about the dare or just about being away from Rosalie. He knelt over Alice and started kissing her ankle. Alice bit her lip at his movements, slowly going up her right leg, and when he reached the hem of her skirt, started on her left ankle. Alice started giggling as he started kissing her hand, and we all cheered him on as he started caressing her arms. We were all in an absolute frenzy when he got to her face. Alice squeezed her eyes tight, either hoping it will pass or not letting anyone know that she was enjoying it; especially Jacob. But he seemed to be having as much fun as the next person.
I looked over at Alice to see if she was alright. She looked up at me and smiled, and I smiled back.
Jasper hummed, looking over at us all, looking pleased with himself. "Emmett?"
"Truth," Emmett replied.
"Okay, word has it that you and Edward dated twins, right?"
Oh no. Both Emmett and I shifted in our seats, but no one was more uncomfortable than Emmett, as all eyes were on him. "Y-yeah," Emmett said slowly.
"Cool. Did you ever accidently take out or sleep with the wrong twin?"
Everyone could tell that it was a touchy question, as Emmett looked at Jasper as if he just proclaimed that he was gay. Emmett looked up at the ceiling, trying to look anywhere but at our faces (especially mine). Finally, he looked back at Jasper and said truthfully, "No."
Jasper nodded, and I could feel the room beginning to relax again. I felt a hand on my arm and saw Alice at my side, rubbing my arm in comfort. I smiled at her, and then looked at Emmett. He was looking at me too, and we both smiled. Thank goodness that was over.
"Okay!" Emmett exclaimed, trying to override what just happened. "Keira! Truth or dare?"
Keira pondered for a moment, and finally said "Dare."
"I dare you to make out with someone who is sitting to your left or right. Completely up to you."
Keira first looked over at her left, and smiled with satisfaction. She leapt to her feet, crossed the room and planted her mouth on Jacob's. We all went 'oooohhhhh' when she grabbed his hair and he grabbed her shoulders. Alice buried her face into my shoulder the whole time. After a good minute, Jacob slowly put his tongue into Keira's mouth, and she sucked on it for a while, which he moaned at. Soon we had to actually pull them off of each other and we all settled down, with both Keira and Jacob looking quite pleased with themselves, but Keira looking a little embarrassed.
Before she picked someone, Keira fixed up herself. She fixed her hair and makeup, which we all stared at, Jacob especially. After what seemed like forever, Keira turned to her right. "Jasper, truth or dare?"
"Truth."
"Okay, something I've been wanting to know for so long. Have you ever kissed Bella?"
"Nope, not ever. I don't see her like that," Jasper answered immediately.
Keira looked a bit upset that nothing had happened. Then Jasper rounded on me. "Truth or dare Edward?"
"Truth," I replied, not in the mood for a dare.
"Just a little thing I've been feeling. Do you like Bella?"
My stomach dropped. I felt all eyes burning into me. Wanting this to all go away fast, I said, "Yeah, she's a cool chick." I then smirked at the fact that I repeated myself.
I saw Jasper's mouth open, obviously about to ask me another question about the subject, but I quickly changed that. "Emmett, truth or dare?"
"Dare," he said, giving me his evil grin.
"Good, because since you have inflicted all of us, especially Alice, with this game, I dare you to make out with Rosalie."
Emmett lost all of his cockiness. Rosalie stared me down, "How is that a bad thing?"
No one answered. Emmett sighed, annoyed. He got up and sat next to Rosalie. He winced as he leaned in, and planted a kiss on her mouth. And it didn't stop there.
It went absolutely wild, maybe even wilder than Keira and Jacob. They were pulling on each other's hair, grasping at their faces, and obviously trying to contain what might just come out of their mouths. Rosalie slid her tongue in, which Emmett sucked and bit on for a while, and then she sucked on his bottom lip. It seemed to go on for ages and ages. It was only then when I heard it.
Bella was hyperventilating next to me. She seemed to be trying to keep her tears in. "Bella, are you okay?"
She looked up at me with wide eyes, then got up and ran for her room, slamming the door. Everyone was now looking at the scene. Keira and Emmett began to stand up, but I was quicker. "Maybe I should go."
They nodded slowly, and I made my way to Emmett's bedroom.
Bella POV
I heard a knock on the door, but I didn't answer. Soon I saw Edward walking in. He closed the door behind me and sat down next to me. I could tell that he felt awkward.
"Bella, what's the matter?"
I looked up at him, and just cried even more. I buried my face into his chest, and he held her close. I took in his beautiful scent; it smelt to addicting and I didn't feel like leaving the warmth of his body.
But after a while, I leaned back and he let her go, but he found my hands and held them tight. He asked me again what happened.
"It's not what happened," I said through sobs. "It's what didn't happen."
"I'm confused."
I sniffled. "You know how you dared Emmett to kiss Rose?"
He nodded slowly.
"I didn't feel anything! No jealousy, not hatred, I just felt normal. I mean did you see how they were kissing? I don't think we've ever kissed like that … Did you see Alice when Keira and Jacob were making out? She was hiding, obviously not wanting to feel anything bad, and all our cheering didn't help … and I didn't feel anything! What's wrong with me? What's wrong with us?" I blurted out, hoping he understood my babble.
"I don't think you should be worried about it," He said simply.
I looked up at him in horror. "What do you mean?!"
"Well, Alice and Jacob only just happened. They used to bicker all the time. They could never really trust each other. And now that they're … well, I wouldn't say together per sae … there's a trust problem. My best guess is that Alice didn't want to look in fear of not trusting him. But you and Emmett are different. I think that this just shows that you trust him enough to not worry about that kind of stuff."
I absorbed his words of a while. "Maybe you're right." I chuckled.
He laughed too. "What's so funny?"
"I just can't believe how much I trust you. It's unbelievable. I've only met you a few days ago, but it feels like forever."
He laughed. "I know."
"Did you really mean what you said? About wanting to hook up with me?" I suddenly felt quite embarrassed at my forwardness.
He sighed. "Well, I didn't choose Alice because it's obvious. I didn't choose Keira because I haven't really talked to her, and Rosalie is a bitch, so only you were left."
"Gee, thanks," I said seriously.
We both began to laugh together, and it sounded like the sweetest music you could ever hear. I was then drowning myself in those beautiful green eyes of his. And even though it was dark, you could see the twinkle still. It seemed like forever that we just stared at each other.
Before we knew it, he began to lean into me, and I into him. It was as if a magnet was pulling us together, and we could do nothing to stop it from doing so.
"Bella?"
It was Emmett at the door. We both quickly pulled from each other and I got up slowly, smiling down at him. He gave me his best crooked smile, which made me bite my lip. I didn't want to let go of his hand, but I had to. I walked over to the door and opened it.
"What's the matter, Bella?"
"Oh it was nothing," I said. "Edward calmed me down, I was upset over nothing."
I felt Emmett looking over my shoulder at Edward. "Are you sure?"
"Yeah positive."
"Okay." Emmett put and arm around my shoulder and I felt Edward follow behind us. The living room was empty.
"Oh no," I said. "You didn't finish the game because of me, did you?"
"No, don't worry Bella," Alice said, popping out of Edward's room in her pyjamas, yawning. "It's late anyway."
"Yeah, so we better are going to bed then, yeah?" Emmett asked me.
"Yeah, sure," I smiled.
We made sure that we said good night to everyone. When I reached Edward, we didn't need to say anything, we just smiled, and I felt my heart grow warm. Because that's what Edward Cullen does to me and I couldn't help but smile back.
So, there was chapter four! I hope you enjoyed it! Of course more secrets will be spilled from here on end, and I would like to know what you think about it! And it would be nice if you could add a little bit about what you believe should happen next, and I'll take it into account. Also, if you have any questions about this story at any time don't hesitate to PM me or contact me somehow, because I'm here to help. :) And just as a warning, I might not be updating soon because we just got back from school holidays, and I suddenly got bombarded with about 3 assignments already, so ultimately I will be working on them first. I will always try to find spare time to write, and I'll do my best to organize myself a bit better, as it was the reason my last chapter was so fucking late.
Comments are like a good old game of truth or dare! :)
