Recap:

We watched some more Jeff Dunham and peanut was hilarious, he was talking about a gay super hero when the someone knocked on the door.

Alice compassed her face and walked over to the door. I heard someone mumble something then she squealed. She came back with a bouquet of flowers.

"UH! Alice has a secret lover!" I hollered, looking at the beautiful mount of flowers she was holding.

"Ha Ha! The jokes on you, Bella! These are for you!" she walked over to me and handed me the roses.

"Really?" my nose scrunched up, "From who?"

"Jake,"

"Fancy Houses"

Chapter 17

Bella's POV

"Jake?" I repeated again, stunned.

"Yep," Alice said, bouncing on the couch in front of me.

"What?!" Emmett protested.

"Calm down, Em. I'm sure it's nothing," I reassured him, patting his shoulder.

"Does it have a card?"

"Um…" I looked around the bouquet but there was no note, "Nope."

"Good, I would've had to kick someone's ass," Emmett muttered under his breath, I frowned.

"You're not going to do anything to him, Em. He didn't do anything to me,"

"But I don't like him, he doesn't seem right," he shrugged, "And you said I could play body guard," he said grinning.

"Ugh, whatever, lets just watch some TV," I told him, shaking my head.

The rest of the night we watched The Vida Lopez, it was a marathon of George Lopez episodes, and let me tell you it was hilarious! I loved the episode when George doesn't like the neighbors because they have a statue of a sleeping Mexican on his lawn. Yeah, George is awesome.

We went to sleep around 3 in the morning, I snuggled up into my warm. soft pillow and drifted of to sleep.

The next three days went by pretty quickly, Alice was on TV once, she was shopping in a small souvenir shop and she bought 1 of everything in the store! She paid like $450 and reporters were waiting outside the shop to ask her questions. But Emmett and me beat her bad, let me explain.

Carlisle and Esme said that they were going to the spa, but we already went the other day, so we were like, lets go the dance tonight, so then there we there, in the middle of the dance floor. Alice had gone to the bar to get some soda when "Heartless" by Kanye West blasted threw the speakers.

Me and Emmett started to sing along with it and before we knew it, people were routing for us, screaming our names. It was so funny, Emmett was pretending his cell phone was a microphone and dancing, I was singing and going around the edge of the throng of people, holding my hand out, and people were shaking it and giving me high-fives.

Some people were taking pictures of us, too, I saw some on TV, one had me and Emmett hugging our shoulders and singing together.

Yep, I think we made history here.

"Bella, we have to pack," Alice whispered to me.

"Huh?" I asked confused.

"We're leaving today, remember, member, you member?" Emmett said walking into the room.

"Oh, yea," I mumbled standing up and rubbing my eyes.

"Mom said we're leaving in an hour, so hurry up,"

"I call the shower!" I said, grabbing my crutches and cloths on my way.

I washed my hair, using the exotic shampoo the hotel provided, shaved my legs and cleaned my body with beach scented soap. I got out carefully, and thank God, the shower just had a small plastic rim going across the bottom so I didn't have to lift my left like 3 feet off the ground.

I grabbed my purple and blue plaid baggy Capri and put them on after I put on my blue tank-top under my white polo shirt. I tied my hair in a messy pony-take and slipped on my matching Converse.

Emmett and Alice were waiting for me in the living room watching Pimp my Ride. They noticed me and smiles spread across their face.

"Hey, are we leaving yet?" I asked, taking a seat in the middle of my two siblings.

"Yep, we were just waiting for you!" Alice told me, bouncing off the sofa and heading for the doors, "I already packed your bags and everything is in the lobby, lets go!"

We met Carlisleand Esme outside our suite and we walked down to the fancy lobby, everyone around us yelled, "Bye, Cullen Family!" We laughed and said our good-byes, too.

Emmett was talking about a new video game he wanted to buy for the PlayStation we had at home when someone from behind me wound their hands around my waist.

"Ahhh!" I yelled surprised. Emmett heard me and turned around to see Jake holding me.

"What are you doing?!" Emmett roared.

"Saying bye to Bella," he said. I tried to pry his hands away from my body, but he just tightened his grip.

"Uh, you squeezing me too hard," I choked out, still trying to escape his hands.

"Let go of her!"

"Bye, Bella," he whispered into my ear. I could feel the heat radiating off of his body, "I'll miss you," and out of nowhere, he kissed my cheek.

"Let go Jake!" I yelped, pushing him as far away as I could. He released his iron grip and ran off laughing.

"Whatda jerk!" I said wiping my hand against my left cheek, "Emmett, you were right, he is weird," I pretending to gag.

"When am I not right?" his frown looking as if it was permanently placed on his face.

"Well, there was the time we were at the mall and you—" he cut me off by laughing.

"Okay, okay, come on we need to get to mom and dad,"

The ride home on the plane and the car was the same as when we came, except this time Emmett didn't try to make a bet of who could win at viseo games.

I got really confused when we missed our street and started to head up to the fancy houses at the other end of town. We parked in front of a huge tan looking house.

I looked over at Alice, she had the smile that the Grinch had when he stole all the Who Ville's presents, Emmett, on other hand, looked like the Who Villagers, he was as confused as I was.

"Uh, Carli-- I mean dad, are you lost?" I asked, leaning into the seat in front of me to take in his expression. He looked like the Grinch after he returned all the presents, so did Esme.

"No, we're not lost, dear. We live here, now," Esme stated, looked back at my still confused ace.

"What?! ARE YOU SERIOUS!?" Emmett asked,jumping up and down next to me.

"Yup, want to go and check it out?"

"Hells ya!" I yelled getting out of the car as fast as I could. Emmett beat me to the door and flew inside the house, we explored the one floor mini mansion.

The inside was a creamy brown color, the ceilings were high above my head and the floors were glossy and clean. When you first enter the house you see the kitchen to the left, you walk a couple of feet and you could see the living room, and there was a hallway one right hand side. All our furniture was already in the house, so all I had to do was find Alice's room.

I entered the second to last door, I recognized Alice's bed in te middle of the room and I was about to walk in to look around when I felt Alice's pixie fingers cover my eyes, "What are you doing?" she said appaled, " This is a new house with 7 rooms, you get your own room," She led me out into the hallway and I heard her open a door.

I gasped when Alice's little fingers released my face. The room was awesome! It was a light green with blue designs that went through the middle of the room, the queen sized bed had plain purple sheets on it with patterned covered pillows. A plasma screen TV was hung on a wall across from the bed, and there was a huge window that faced the back yard, a desk right in front front of it.

I was about to go and see what the rest of the family was doing when someone pressed the door bell, I walked into the hallway, kind of confused, who would be here?

I heard Esme talking to an unfamiliar voice in the living room, I pushed myself careful not to trip, and on the couch were 4 people, a man and a woman with two children. The adults had brown hair with blond streaks in it, the children looked the same. Twins. One boy and a girl.

The girl she is tall, statuesque, and has long, wavy blond hair. She was beautiful, elegant, probably had class, and her eyes looked like violets. The boy, I'd guess was her brother, sitting next to her is tall looking with honey blond hair, and looks muscular but lean.

They everyone in the room looked at me at the same moment, Esme sat up and walked over to me.

"I would like to introduce you to my adoptived daughter, Bella," she said, the parents stood up and shook my hands.

"Nice to meet you, Bella. I'm Mr. Hale and this is my wife Mrs. Hale," the tall man said.

"Nice to meet you too, both of you," I said nodding my head, trying to be polite.

Then Mr. Hale looked over at his children and waved for them to come forward.

The honey blond came up to me first, "Hello, Bella. I'm Jasper," he smiled and looked over at his sister.

"I'm Rosalie Hale," she told me and sat back down. Uh, rude much?

"Why don't you go and introduce Jasper and Rosalie to your brother and sister?" Carlisle asked.

"No problem, dad," I looked over at Rosalie's direction and sighed. Let's get this over with.

I turned around and Jasper was right beside me, "Sorry about Rose, she can be stubborn,"

"I kinda noticed," he laughed. Rosalie walked about a good 8 feet behind us, we reached the game room, where I could hear Alice and Jasper yelling at each other.

"Yo, Em, Alice, we have guests," I told them, at that moment they spun around and their eyes widened. I shook my head, smiling.

"Hi! I'm Alice Cullen!" she said jumping in front of me and Jasper.

"Hello, Alice. I'm Jasper," and if my eyes weren't lying to me, I honestly think that Alice blushed. She never blushed, not even if she was embarressed!

"Sup, I'm Emmett," the second Emmett introduced himself, and I'm talking about that SAME second, Rosalie was sqeezing between me and Jasper.

"I'm Rosalie," she said smiling.

"Hey," he told her. BLUSHING?!?!?!?!? What is up with the freakin' blushing today?!

"Hey,"

The rest of the while Jasper's parents where here Rosalie talked with Alice and I played some video games with Jasper and Emmett. Every once in a while I would see Jasper look at Alice from the corner of his eyes, Emmett would do the same, but with Rosalie.

Pretty soon Jazz and his sister were leaving with their parents, once they were off our property Alice pounced on me, "You gotta help me get Jasper!" she whispered, almost pleading.

"Ohh, Alice has a crush!" I teased.

"I know," she mumbled, placing her little head on my shoulder.

"I'll help you. Did you know you were red when you talked to him?" I said laughing.

She gasped. "Don't worry, Jasper looks like a good guy. I can hook you guys up," I said, rubbing her back.

"You're the best sister! Don't tell Emmett though, Okay?"

"Why?" I asked confused.

"He'll get all brotherly protective. Remember Rudy?"

Aww, yes, Rudy. Alice was going to ask Rudy out, but made the mistake of telling Emmett. Em was with Alice from that same day, whenever a guy got so much as a foot close to Alice he would push them out the way, or threaten them. Rudy, you ask? Well, I don't know what happened to him actually.

"Ok. Operation Jasper begins hen I see him next time. But right now, I'm going to go eat something, I'm hungry!" Alice giggled and let me up. I wobbled my way into the kitchen where I noticed Emmett eating some gummy bears.

"Honestly, Emmett, where do you get all the candy," I gigged and walked over to the refridgerator.

"I gotta guy," I looked over at him, his face looked as if he was deciding something, then he spoke, "Bella, your a girl right?"

"Uh, last time I checked I was," I said narrowing my eyes.

"So, you understand girls, right?"

"Um, yes. It comes with being a girl,"

"Well, I sorta..." he looked down a his food.

"You like Rosalie, don't you?" I accused him.

"Shush! Shush! Not so loud!" He ran over to me and placed a hand over my mouth, "I don't want Alice to find out!"

"Why?" I said, ripping his hand away from me.

"She'll get all questiony. Remember Angela?"

Mmhm. Angela. She was a good friend of mine, when Alice found out Emmett had a crush on her she went bizerk. Alice followed Angela around, almos like a stalker, and asked asked her so many questions, I think Alice scared her away because she switched out of every class she had with her.

"Ohh! Yeah, telling Alice is probably a isn't good idea,"

"Thanks sis,"

"Don't worry, Rose looks..." I quickly tried to find a good word to describe her,"reasonable. I can hook you guys up," Oh, that sounded familiar, "Operation Rosalie will commence next time I see her. It might be hard though, I don't think she likes me," I confessed frowning.

"Can you still try, though?"

"Of course, bro. Anything to help my older brother," he gave me a hug and left to his room.

I grabbed an apple and went to my room, shaking my head. Since when am I the undercover agent/sibling hooker? Well, whatever, I need to help them. I might be able to get Rosalie tbe nice to me.

Well, you guys have been waiting for Jazz and Rosalie. Did they come at good time???

Aww, yes, the hooker thing doesn't mean hooker- prostitute. OH NO!!!! Bella is not a prostitute, it's just I couldn't think of anything else to call her hooking her siblings with the new neighbors.

The Jake thing, not my best. Uh, the pic of the Cullens new house is on my profile, I like it a lot.

Tell me what your thinking about the story so far, if you liked the chapter, anything really. {I'm kinda bored =]}

BYE!!! =]
