Chapter 7

"Surprise Bella!" Alice shouted as she ran up to me, throwing her arms around me.

"What's the surprise?" I asked confused.

"Well, obviously Rose and I closed the shop early and we've decided to go to the fair! It's only in town a couple of more days… So, let's go!"

I reluctantly agreed only because I knew it would help me to get out of the house. We arrived at the county fair and Edward bought us all unlimited ride tickets, and naturally he wanted us to go through the haunted house first.

"Edward! Why did you even suggest this?" Alice whispered loudly as she jumped on his back clinging to him.

"No, why would he suggest this first?" Rosalie stammered hanging on to his left arm.

"What matters most is that we were dumb enough to go along with it in the first place!" I corrected everyone as I also clung to Edward's right arm.

Edward laughed so hard every time we got scared, even though he could hardly walk since we were all over him. When we finally made it out, he had to shake all of us off of him, it was hilarious. After scolding him for putting us through that, we were approached by a tall, very built man with short curly dark hair."Hi, my name's Emmett." He said introducing himself to Rosalie first. Alice and I giggled and smiled at each other. Rosalie's eyes got wide and for the first time since I've known her, she looked like she was at a loss for words. She blushed and looked down at her feet.

"You're to beautiful to be looking down, besides the world needs to see those eyes…" Emmett said holding out his hand

I poked Edward in the side, "listen to this guy's pick up lines!" I whispered to him.

"Shut up Bella! That was the most beautiful complement ever!" She turned back to Emmett. He turned to me and shook my hand.

"So you must be Bella…"

"Yes." I answered.

Then he turned to Alice, "you are?"

"Alice," she said with a smile. He then stuck his hand out to Edward.

"I'm Edward."

Then Emmett came back to Rose and took her hand into his, lifted it to his mouth, and planted a sweet kiss on it. "What might your name be?"

"Ro-Rosalie…" she stuttered.

"Rosalie," he said to himself. "I must say what a pleasure it is to have met you." He said flashing a brilliantly white smile at her.

"Oh, trust me Emmett, the pleasure is all mine!" She giggled.

We all rolled our eyes. I couldn't believe that she was acting like a love-struck middle school student rather than the 25 year old she was. Thankfully, Edward spoke up.

"We were just about to grab some snacks if you would like to join us Emmett."

"I'd like that, if Rosalie doesn't mind." He said looking at Rose.

"Of course you can join us!" she said excitedly.

We walked over to an empty picnic table while Emmett and Rosalie sat at the far end of the table. I guess they were getting to know each other better. I studied Rose and I had never seen her act like that, I mean she had guys chasing after all the time. Who wouldn't? She was a slender 5'9, blond hair and blue eyes. While I was an average 5'7 with plain brown hair and ordinary brown eyes.

"You have your own beauty Bella…"Edward stated as he looked at me smiling as if reading my thoughts.

"Hmmm, you think you know me so well." I teased.

"Just your whole life."

"Well, there's a hunk of man-meat over by the funnel cake stand… and we all know how much I love sweet things…"Alice said with a wicked smile as she pranced away to talk to her 'hunk of man-meat'.

"Everyone seems to be meeting people today." I noted.

"Do you want to meet someone?" Edward asked leaning closer to me from across the table.

"No, but if would be nice for someone to have a little crush on me." I said with a high-pitched voice.

"Just a little crush," Edward mocked, sounding just like me.

"Shut your face Edward! You know what I meant!" I said laughing.

"Unfortunately I do, it's been a while since I had some girl action…"

"That's bullcrap! I don't believe for one second that you don't have girls throwing themselves at you left and right!" I said sticking my tongue out at him.

"Why would you think that?" He asked, looking mischievous.

"Well, you're gorgeous for one-,"

"Thanks!" He interrupted me laughing. I playfully whacked him on the shoulder.

"Since this conversation is obviously going straight to your head, I'm gonna get us some drinks okay?"

"Alright." He said still laughing.

I walked over to the vendor that Alice was by and to my surprise, she was blushing and looking just like Rosalie was.

"Bella! This is Jasper Hale," Alice introduced him. I stuck my hand out to him.

"Nice to meet you Jasper, my name is Bella Swan."

"Nice to meet you too ma'am." He said courteously.

"Isn't he just so polite?" Alice exclaimed. "And guess what? He's a male clothing designer! I was telling him about our clothing line and our store."

"Yea, I'd love to stop in one day and see what you ladies have there. But for now this little pixie's gonna have me busy for a while." Jasper smiled.

"Yep, she's our little pixie, wait, what is she gonna have you busy doing?" I asked.

"Oh, I asked her to dinner this weekend, and she accepted." He said smiling again at Alice who was beaming from head to toe.

"So, I was getting drinks for everyone, why don't you two join us at the table." I offered.

They both thanked me and then walked towards the tables.

"Excuse me! Can I get six small cokes please?" I asked the vendor then I looked away at Edward who was watching my every move.

"Only if I can get your number," I heard a familiar voice say. I looked up and saw my high school classmate Mike Newton. He always had such a huge crush on me and still to this day didn't understand the word No.

"Oh good lord…" I said under my breath.

"Hi Bella!" He said spitting his gum out of the window, sending it over my head.

GROSS!

"Ugh, hello Mike."

"How have you been sexy?" he asked winking at me.

"So, how about those cokes?" I said ignoring his advances.

"Come on Bella, how are you gonna do your boyfriend like that?" he said leaning out of the window attempting to kiss me.

I slapped him… good and hard.

"For starters Mike, only in your dreams, and secondly, my boyfriend is over there." I said making up the lie as I pointed to Edward, who was already walking over here after he heard the slap.

"He doesn't look that scary." Mike said confidently.

"What's going on Bella?" Edward asked coming up to me.

"Honey!" I said over-enthusiastically. Edward looked at me so confused. " I was just telling Mike here that you're my wonderful boyfriend." I winked at him.

"Right… Your boyfriend, gotcha." Edward winked back at me then wrapped an arm around my waist. I smiled nervously between Edward and Mike.

"Now, I am gonna need proof." Mike said.

"What kind of proof?!" I shouted back at him.

"A kiss of course." Mike said with an evil smile.

I turned to Edward and gave him a quick peck on the lips. "There, a kiss. Now can we please get our sodas?"

"That was a pathetic kiss, anyone can do that!"

Damn you Mike! I thought to myself.

"It's not like we have anything that we need to prove to you anyway-," I was interrupted as Edward spun me around and cradled my face with his hands… then gave me a very convincing, passionate kiss right in front of everyone! I could hear clapping coming from everywhere. And when the kiss ended Edward was breathing just as hard as I was.

"Six small cokes coming up…" Mike said looking embarrassed.
