I was so busy staring at Edward that I didn't realize Charlie had picked up.
"Hello? Hello? Is this a prank call? Hello?!" Charlie was saying on the other end of the line.
"Oh!" I exclaimed. "Hi, Dad. You were cutting out there for a second," I lied. "I was just calling to let you know that Mark and I are back in town."
"Are you okay, Bells?" Charlie asked worriedly. "Alice called and said you were in an accident."
"We're fine," I assured him as I tried, unsuccessfully, to ignore Edward. "I hit a patch of ice and rolled the car down a ditch. The car's seen better days, but Mark and I are fine. We'll probably be a little sore in the morning, but that's nothing major."
"Where are you at?" Charlie asked.
"We're at the Cullen's house," I answered. "We caught a ride from a friend who was passing by, and since the Cullen's house is closer than yours we stopped here first. We'll be home later tonight to see you."
"Are you staying here again?" Charlie asked.
"Unless you've done something to the full sized bed in my room that I don't know about, yes," I answered.
"Good. I'll see you later, then," Charlie said.
"Yeah, see you later. Love you, Dad."
"Love you too," he answered gruffly. He hung up, and I sighed. I slowly closed my phone and turned to look at Edward.
"Did you want something?" I inquired coldly. Edward simply gazed at me. I glared back.
"Not really," Edward finally answered. "I just wanted to talk to you."
"What if I don't want to talk to you?" I snapped.
"That would be entirely fair," Edward answered. "I would deserve it."
"You're right, you do," I answered, and stood up to go inside. As I stormed past Edward he reached out and grabbed be around the waist, and in a movement that was so fast I didn't even realize what was happening, pulled me onto his lap. His lips were on mine before I could register that I wasn't even walking towards the house.
Once I realized that my lips were on his, I kissed back for a few seconds, but it didn't last long, because then my brain caught up with me.
"Eww, Edward, I'm married!" I shrieked at him as I pulled away. I struggled out of his hold and marched into the house.
All the vampires gave me sympathetic looks as I walked in, so I knew they had heard. Mark was the only one who hadn't heard, so he gave me a smile.
"What'd Charlie have to say?" he asked while Emmett set up the XBOX 360.
"He just wanted to make sure we were okay," I answered before giving him a passionate kiss on the lips. I heard Edward growl behind me.
"Whoa, what was that for?" Mark asked when we pulled away from each other. He glanced behind me, and realized what I was doing. A grin spread across his face. "Perhaps we should roll the car more often," he joked, and then pulled me in for another kiss.
The growl was louder this time, so Mark even noticed it.
"Do you have a dog?" he asked Carlisle.
"No, we don't…" Carlisle asked, confused, and then made the connection and amended, "Well, we don't own a dog. There's a stray one wandering in the woods that stops by sometimes. Edward, would you like to go in the kitchen and get some scraps for it? The pork chops in the fridge are from a couple of weeks ago and need thrown out anyway."
"Fine," Edward spat, and stopped into the kitchen.
"What's his problem?" Jasper inquired, and winked at me when Mark couldn't see.
"Bella!" Alice squealed when Emmett finally got the XBOX working. "Let's go to my room!"
"No," I groaned. "Anywhere but your room."
"Then we'll go to mine!" Rosalie exclaimed and pulled me away from Mark.
"Mark, save me!" I pleaded.
"Sorry, Hun," Mark answered absently as he and the rest of the guys, minus Edward, sat down to play some video game.
"Esme?" I begged.
She laughed. "I'm sorry, Bella. I don't even try to get in their way when their on a mission to make you their personal Barbie."
"Somebody?" I squeaked over my shoulder as they pulled me up the stairs.
No one paid attention to me as I was whisked off to my death. I was almost offended.
"No one's going to help you, Bella," Alice said. "Trust me, I know."
"I don't want to be a Barbie," I whispered dramatically. "No one is going to save me, and I'm going to die."
"At least you'll die pretty!" Rose laughed, and Alice joined in. They forced me in Rose's door, and locked it behind me.
"I'm doomed!" I wailed quietly.
Laughter and getting shoved onto a stool were the only replies.
