"strip poker when we get there!" Emmett yelled.
"Don't worry about it love, Emmett was mostly talking to Rosalie." Edward said as Emmett got enthusiastically into the car, with an annoyed looking Rosalie.
"Mostly? And even if he was Rosalie doesnt look to happy about...well anything right now." It was true Rosalie looked absolutely pissed, I was oddly glad she was driving, I could just imagine the yelling that would happen if she wasen't, I was also glad calm, peaceful Esme was going with her to keep her in check. I sat in the passenger seat of the Volvo waiting for Jasper and Alice to come.
"Hurry up Alice" I mumbled, just as she walked through the door carryingthree suitcases and Jasper carrying five. Who need seven suitcases for camping, wasen't the whole point to enjoy nature? They put four suitcases in the volvo and three in the M3, before sliding gracefully into the backseat,
"Seriously Alice seven suitcaese?" I asked as Edward started up the car, its soft engine slightly rumbled beneath us.
"I couldn't fit all my supplies in only six so I had to bring seven." That was Alice's brilliant answer. There was no other way to comprehend that answer other then the fact that she was Alice and could get away with it. Edward chuckled quietly beside me, I turned to face him.
"Alice is trying to figure out how you only have one suitcase." He answered my questioning look.
"How can you not bring one suitcase. Alice we're only going for three days and you're a vampire you shouldn't need as much clothes as me." I was starting to wonder, if Alice was ever hit extremely ahrd on the head with a shopping beg when she was younger.
"Bella, Bella, Bella." She chaistised. "Whne you see the future like me you learn to pack for it." She said in a matter of fact tone.
"What did you see Alice." I demanded. If Alice saw something that made her pack so many suitcases I was now even more horrified then I was when Emmett yelled strip poker.
"I saw nothing fo importance to you Bella." She said to avoid my question. I glared at her butshe never met my eyes. Fine if she wanted to be that way.
"Edward?" I turned to him pouting. He smiled his gorgeous crooked smile, which made my heart race and not just because it was him but because he was looking ta me and driving 140km an hour down the highway. Seeing my distress he turned back to face the road witha triumphant smile on his face.
"Alice is thinking about the things she wants to do to Jasper in their tent." He shuddered at her thoughts, which only made her grin more. The rest of the drive we spent in silence except for the odd song that Alice would sing a long to. It took under half an hour to reach the end of the gravel trail that lead to a dead end. I knew I would have to walk but the forest looked more frightening from up close, roots stuck dangerously out of the ground and branches sat low to the ground, I shuddered internally and the pain such simple things culd inflict.
"Are you coming love." Edwards voice called from outside my opened door. I looked up to see that he had the door open for me and was patiently standing there with his hand out for me to grasp.
"Oh sorry Edward I was dreading the roots and branches." I said without even thinking about it. I felt the all too familiar blush creep up my cheeks and heard Edward chuckle, but it was quiet compared to Emmett's booming laugh.
"Don't worry Bella we''l protect you from the evil branches, but you might want to worry about the roots I don't know if we could help you there!" Emmett shouted through his laughter. Stupid Vampires and their super sonic hearing I can't even mumble to my self without being heard any more.
"Oh be quiet Emmett, I don't fall that much." I tried to say, while trying to hold my dignity but it was a waste of time for everyone but Esme broke out into gigle and smiles at my comment. "Annoying vampires, can't we just start moving." I asked, angry enough to call them vampire, but unfortunately made them laugh harder. "Fine I'll walk by myself." I stood out of the car and headed towards the forest not remotely sure as to where I was going.
"Bella." Edward whispered into my ear as his arms wrapped around my waist. "You have no idea where you're going and you forgot to help us with the bags."
"Oh, sorry pass me my bag then." My anger completely dissapated when I saw him. I ahted how he made me forget being angry, yet I couldn't hate him, it was completely frustrating. He looked into my eyes, his topaz eyes sparkling with laughter.
"I was joking Bella did you really think I would make you carry a bag?" I saw Alice giggle over Edward's shoulder. I nodded my head, he rolled his eyes. The trip through the forest was just as bad as I thought it was going to be and just to be cruel the Cullen's decided they wanted to move at human pace. what kind of wedding party was this?
"Hey Bella! Help! the brach had me in its grasp I'm going down!" I heard Emmett screaming from my left. I stuck out my tongue like a child but forgot to watch where I was going and tripped over a root, landing in Edward's arms inches away from the ground.
"Please watch you step love I don't want to lose you to a root." He attempted to say seriously but I heard the mocking undertone. This camping trip was turning into a bug Bella untill she throws her self off another cliff kind of camping trip and at this moment Esme and Rosalie were the only ones not being rude. We arrived at the open camp site around supper time...for me. As soon as the tents were set up and the fire was going, so about five minutes later, Emmett started complaining.
"Please guys can't we play one round of strip poker?" He asked in a whiney tone that a normal boy would have never used. "Okay, everyone can play but alice. Edwrad you can't play becasue you'll read Alice's mind, so that means Jasper and Bella can't play because their lovers will tell them. And I don't really want to see Esme and Carlise naked...so Rosalie you want to play strip poker." everyone stared at Emmett, he came to a conclusion on his own for once and it was actually logical. As if in tune we all broke out laughing at the same time causing Emmett to pout, probably from Rosalie laughing at him. Esme was the fisrt to compose herself.
"Bella, dear what would you like to eat." she asked me.
"How about fried moutain lion?" I felt Edward stiffen beside me. "Okay fine what about fried beans?" Esme nodded her head and pulled out a can.
"Bella may I talk to you alone?" I voice came form behind me. I turned to see Rosalie standing off to the side looking pointedly at me.
