Still do not own Twilight. Hope everyone had a good Christmas! here is the next chapter. theres some fluff in it but nothing bad.
"Bella, please tell me why you need my help to choose clothes. Why not ask Alice?" I could tell he wanted out of this tent, maybe it was somthing he saw in Alice's vision. I pushed on his shoulders and waited till he dropped down on the air mattress.
"Okay should I wear my sweatpants, my pajama pants, my jeans or my capris?" The look on Edward's face was priceless, it was a mix between insecurity and dissapproval, but something else was there that I couldn't pin point before he buried it behind his eyes.
"Your sweatpants." He answered formally. I smiled at him, before going to the button on the miniskirt, that got him going. Suddenly he was infront of me his hands wrapped securely around mine. His eyes boring into mine with such fierce emotion, my breath caught in my throat. Yep definitly hit a soft spot.
"Bella, please change when I'm gone. Taunting me would not be the best thing to do in this situation." He slowly released my hands and sat back down on the air matress, the emotions dying out of his eyes. It took me a few seconds before I could find my voice again. I wanted to know what situation this was? but asking would ruin my plan.
"Should I wear my sweater or my jacket." I was proud my voice didn't crack once. I tried to act like I didn't hear him.
"You should wear both, I wouldn't want you catching a cold." Again with the formal voice. Fine if he wanted to sound distant... I reached for my sweater and threw it on, along with my jacket. While pulling my jacket up I turned away and undid the button on my skirt. Turning back, I let the skirt slip off my hips and down to the floor, pooling at my feet.
If Edward was thinking he would remember I was in my bikini still, but he wasn't. His eyes widdened and his mouth fell open. I walked towards him, watching as he slowly regained his composure. I stopped as soon as I was infront of him. Leaning down so our noses were touching. My heart was bounding in my chest, my breath coming out slower. His eyes bored into me, sending the familiar warmth running through my veins and igniting my nerves. He still didn't move, I slowly reached my hand out, slightly letting it graze his soft auburn locks. My hand found my sweatpants and I clasped them, I quickly stepped back from Edward and pulled my sweatpants on. I didn't realize Edward was holding his breath when he released it in a sudden gust. I could feel electricity running between us, my need to touch him was too much for me, I need to be in his arms and need to kiss him. I quickly turned and ran out of the tent, knowing full well if I stayed it wouldn't be good. Six more days was all I had to wait, six long painful days.
My exited of the tent turned out like all my exits, I ended up in Edward's arms my nose grazing the ground. I felt his chest moving as he chuckled slightly, he had obviously regained his good humour. Go him!
"You and the ground seem to enjoy each others company." Edward said in my ear, I struggled out of his grasp and straightened my clothes.
"We do but you seem to have put a restraining order on me so I can't be with the ground." I turned back around and headed towards the fire, trying to block out Edward's laughter. when I reached the campfire Esme handed me a stick with a marshmallow on it. I mumbled a thanks before turning back to the fire, thankful noone could see the blush on my cheeks because of the glow from the flames. I looked around to see that Alice, Jasper, Rosalie and Emmett were all gone, it was just Esme, Carlisle, Edward and me. Carlisle was sitting behind Esme, rubbing her shoulders as they both watched me. While my marshmallow was cooking I didn't notice Emmett and Rosalie come up behind me.
"Looky Rosie the marshmallow is on fire." Emmett said in awe. I jumped out of my seat from the sudden scare, falling almost into the fire. I quickly pulled my branch with the marshmallow out of the fire and looked at my burnt marshmallow, in anger I threw my stick away. Everyone broke out into laughter. I didn't really understand what was so funny, untill I saw that my burnt marshmallow had flown off the stick and hit Edward in the face. He was scowling as the marshmallow slowly slid down his cheek. I couldn't contain my laughter any more, I burst out laughing at him and everyones laughter was fueled by Jasper; who was on the ground holding his sides. It took ten minutes to get everyone calmed down. By that time Edward had wipped it off his cheek, glaring at Emmett and Jasper.
"You think this is funny Isabella Marie Swan." He asked formally, again with that tone. I looked at him and only saw amusement and humour in his eyes. I nodded, still trying to catch my breath. He raised his hand up getting ready to throw it at me.
"Don't you dare Edward!" I shrieked and ducked. I only looked up when I heard a smack. Emmett had a marshmallow stuck on his face and Edward was grinning triumphantly. Emmett, taking that as an invitation, started throwing food back at Edward. Soon all the Cullen kids were throwing food, Rosalie looking truely pissed off when a marshmallow hit her golden locks. Esme had grabbed me and took me off to the side. Carlisle was acting as a parent should and trying to break up the fight which only ended up in him getting hit and joining the fray. Esme watched in shock as her husband started wrestling with Edward, I stared along side her. Carlisle and Edward fighting was so strange, it was mesmerizing.
"KIDS!" Esme screamed to get their attention. The fighting stopped. Alice and Rosalie had Emmett and Jasper cowaring against a tree and Carlisle had Edward in a head lock. "Honey please let go of Edward." Carlisle immediately stepped away from Edward and stood beside his wife. "The rest of you if you're going to act like brutes please do it away from me." Everyone mumbled a sorry mom before sulking back towards the campfire. The scene before me was too funny to hold in my laughter any longer. I started laughing at them, it suprised me how all of them listened so well to Esme, a normal teenager would have thrown a fit, but than again none of them were teenagers or normal.
"Carlisle, that was a nice headlock." I managed to say before surrendering to the giggles that were building up in my chest.
"Thank you Bella." He said before turning to his wife and pulling her away. I turned back to the fire and saw it was only embers, not noticing how late it was.
"I think it's time to put the human to bed." I heard a distant voice say...Rosalie?
"Ohh can we put make-up on her face and stick honey in her hair?" The voices were distant but I could still make out Emmett's cheerful voice and Edward's hand making contact with Emmett's big head. I felt Edward's cold arms scoop me off the ground and carry me to the tent.
"I love you Eddie." The words came out slurred, but I knew he would hear me. I heard whispered laughter behind me
"I love you too, even if you do tease me." I fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow and I heard Edward humming my lullabye.
Please review. Hope you enjoy this chapter, it took me longer than I thought to write it.
