Small Town Girls and Hollywood Boys

Chapter 11

EPOV

"Mhmpmh.. Edward…" Bella said my name for the 11th time since she fell asleep. She's cute when she sleeptalks.. she also says random things like, 'Emmett, Jasper doesn't go in the box.' Or 'Alice that's an ugly orange."

I parked my car into the parking lot of my apartment.

"Bella?" I glanced at her sleeping figure, trying to see if she would awaken. She didn't wake up. Should I wait till she woke up? Or should I make her wake up?

No, she's sleeping too peacefully. I sighed, and then took my keys out of the ignition. I got out of the driver's seat and made my way around the car. I slowly opened the passenger door and unbuckled Bella's seatbelt.

I then carefully pulled her into my arms, bridal style. She tousled and turned at the sudden movement. Please don't wake up. Please don't wake up.

I shut the door with my foot and pressed the lock button on my keys. Flashes of light was directed at me, as well as a lot of noise. Oh great. I quickly ran inside the apartment building.

"Thank you Kyle" I said quietly to the doorman. He was 67 years old and has been working as a doorman long since I was born. He was the best at it too. I doubt anyone doesn't like him.

He gave me a smile and I walked toward the elevator. People in the lobby was staring, but I didn't care. I quickly pushed the button for the 15th floor. The elevator doors closed, and I stared at the beauty in my arms. So serene. The elevator stopped at the 4th floor, and an old lady walked in. She looked at me and Bella, and the situation we were in.

"She's a keeper." The lady said to me quietly. I smiled and nodded my head. The lady then went digging in her purse for a pad of paper.

"Can you sign this?" she asked politely.

"Sure." I replied. "But I'm not sure how I could…"

"Oh right. Nevermind then." Her smile faded.

"Oh wait, write your address on the paper and who I should make it out to, and I can have the whole band sign, with a free t-shirt or something." I said. She was just too nice.

"Really? That would be great. Thanks." With a few scribbles on the pad, she ripped the paper off and stuck it in my jacket pocket.

"No problem."

My smile quickly disappeared with just one word out of my angel's mouth.

"..Jacob.." Bella said then shifted in my arms, with a smile on her face, her eyes still closed. Who the hell was Jacob? Oh. Her boyfriend maybe? Someone as beautiful as her, of course has a boyfriend. Stupid me. Why did I even try to get my hopes up?

I opened my eyes slowly and looked around. I was in an elevator, lying in Edward's arms, bridal style, and an old lady was on the other side, eating what I think was saltine crackers. I blushed. I think I heard him growling. I tapped his shoulder.

"Um.. Edward? You can put me down now."

He looked at me for a second, confused, then came to his senses.

"Oh right." He stammered, then set me on my feet. My knees gave out slightly from the sudden pressure. I leaned on Edward's arm, and he tensed up. I stood a couple feet away.

"Um… Edward? Are you alright?" I looked up at him. Ding. The elevator door opened. I followed Edward out the door and we walked down the hallway.

"Huh? Yeah. Why wouldn't I be?" He said, while fumbling with his keyring, looking for the right key.

"Well first off, when I woke up, I could've sworn you were growling, and then you stood as far away as you could in the elevator from me. Did I do something wrong?" I thought back, when we were still in the hospital, he seemed happy enough. What happened?

"No… Nothing like that." He replied simply then opened the door and walked in. I guess I wasn't going to get an answer out of him. After I walked in, he slammed the door shut.

"Em! Jazz. Home!" he exclaimed rather loudly. What's up with him?

Jasper and Emmett looked up from their video game, alarmed by the loud noise. They nodded at Edward, who sat down next to them on the couch.

"Where's Alice and Rose?" I asked.

"Um… I think they went to the kitchen, doing some kitchen race thing." Jasper said simply, his attention turned back to the video game. "The kitchen is on the right, just follow that hallway over there." He added.

"Okay. Thanks. See ya guys." I said simply, Emmett and Jasper replied with a bye, but I kept looking at Edward. His attention was turned elsewhere, at a piece of paper he was frantically writing on.

I walked down the hallway, Jasper instructed me to go to. I could tell where the kitchen was, from the frantic banging of pots and pans. I opened the doors cautiously.

"Alice, Rose!! I'm here!" I exclaimed over the noise.

"Bella!! We've just started, you wanna play?" Alice asked.

They were playing a game that we've started back in high school. We each cook an entrée, dessert and drink. And a panel of 'judges' see which food is best, and it gets scored.

Much like the show, 'iron chef' on food network, but we all go against each other and there is no secret ingredient. We haven't played this game in a while, due to the fact that we never had another kitchen big enough for it.

Edward's kitchen was perfect. I was guessing it was fully stocked, and all the appliances looked new and shiny.

"Sure." I replied, grabbing an apron from the hook next to me.

"Well, since you got here late, you only have 45 minutes left, so I suggest you hurry up." Rose said, sautéing something in a pan.

I started by looking in the refrigerator, I saw the wide variety of meats and vegetables. I smiled widely and from then on, I forgot about anything else, but the dishes I could create with the food in front of me.

EPOV

It's amazing how one word out of one mouth can change everything. Okay fine, maybe I was over reacting a little, but, I don't know how to explain it. I sat on the couch next to Emmett and Jasper, and grabbed my notepad.

"Where's Alice and Rose?" I heard Bella ask. I tuned her out from then on out.

"Um… I think they went to the kitchen, doing some kitchen race thing." Jasper said, with his eyes turned back to the video game. "The kitchen is on the right, just follow that hallway over there." He added.

"Okay. Thanks. See ya guys." Bella replied, Emmett and Jasper replied with a bye. I knew her eyes were staring me down, but I just kept on writing.

I waited until I heard her footsteps walk down the hallway and into the kitchen, then I put my pen and paper down.

"Yo, Edward." Emmett said. I looked at Emmett. He and Jasper had paused their game and was staring at me.

"What?"

"You know what. Now tell us." Jasper said, with a slight frown on his face.

"Tell you what?"

"Damn it Edward. What happened between you guys?" Emmett said loudly.

I frowned. Was I that obvious?

"Yes you were that obvious." Jasper said, his frown turning into a smirk.

Was I seriously that obvious that me thinking that was I that obvious made it obvious? a/n: I know, confusing.. makes sense tho. I think..

"Nothing happened okay? Just drop it." Emmett had one eyebrow raised.

"I said, drop it." I said rather rudely. My best friends looked taken aback from this and said nothing else. They un-paused their video game and went back to playing.

I grabbed my notepad back and continued to write.

JPOV

No seriously. What is wrong with Edward? When we left him at the hospital, he seemed fine and happy to be with Bella. Now, he's acting like she's not there. Bella looks just as confused. All he does is grab that pad of paper and writes.

I know him long enough that when he writes, something happened and that he wont tell us, till it's not important anymore. I just hopes he doesn't screw this one up. Bella's a good girl for him, and if he's just going to block everything from her, then she would probably just move on, which would make him more miserable.

I know he likes Bella, maybe even loves, but its going to take a hell of a lot for him to realize it.

EmPOV

"You want to come with me to go see if the girls are done?" I asked Jasper after he beat me for what seemed like the billionth time. He cheated. But he never admits it. He nodded and we walked toward the kitchen. Smells of yummy food was coming through the hallway.

"You know what's wrong with Edward?"

"Nope." He shrugged and walked through the kitchen door. The sight before us was a mess, and the girls looked like they've been through a hurricane.

"30 seconds!!" Bella screamed. She was finished I assumed, with, her dishes, and drinks next to her. She was sitting on a stool with a timer in her hand.

"Move!!" Rose yelled at me. Angry Rosalie equals a hot Rosalie. I smiled widely, not moving from my place, Jasper was at the other end of the kitchen.

Apparently they wanted to get to the fridge, which I was oh so conveniently blocking.

"Move you asshole!!" Alice then yelled. Angry Alice looks dangerous.

"Jeez. Fine." I said, putting my hands up, and walking toward Bella.

"What's wrong with Edward?" I asked, casually.

She shrugged her shoulders. "No idea. He was like that in the elevator." She glanced at the stop watch.

"Stop!" Bella yelled all of a sudden.

Rose and Alice stopped adding stuff to their desserts and sat down on a stool.

"Is Edward, going to taste test this stuff too?" Alice asked Jasper.

"Probably not. He's writing a song, and when he does that, he doesn't like any distractions." Jasper said.

"Okay, so since you guys are going to try the food, grab some plates, and forks." I said. They nodded and grabbed a plate for themselves and forks, while I put all the entrees on the table in front of me.

"This is going to anonymous, so I set all the entrees on this table. There is really no way of you knowing who made what entrée until you have rated each one." I said, giving them slips of paper and pens. "Oh and if you get food poisoning by the way, it's not our fault." I joked. They laughed.

Emmett looked at the food hungrily. I cut a portion of Alice's first and stuck it on each of their plates.

"This entrée is simple. Angel hair pasta tossed with garlic, olive oil, and roasted peppers."

"Wow. That's… unbelievable simple, but delicious." Jasper said, wiping his mouth. Alice tried to hold her excitement in as best as she could.

"Okay. So now this entrée is filet mignion steak, sautéed with onions and mushrooms on a rice pilaf." I said, motioning to Rose's plate.

"Holy guacamole! That is delicious!!" Emmett exclaimed. Everyone laughed. Rose had a huge smile on her face.

"Okay, so the last one is bruschetta and mozzarella stuffed chicken breasts." I said, giving them my plate.

Emmett took one bite, and ran out the door with the whole dish. I heard him screaming "EDWARD!!THIS IS THE BEST FREAKING THING I'VE TASTED EVER!! TRY SOME!!" all the way down the hallway.

Jasper laughed, then said. "Awh. I wanted seconds too."

I thought I heard Alice and Rosalie mumble something like, "she always wins."

After Emmett came back he held the plate up. It looked like he licked it clean. Ew.

Anyways, this went on for desserts and drinks too. After all the dishes were clean, Jasper walked into the kitchen carrying the slips of paper.

"For entrée, the stuffed chicken won, for drink, the Oreo milkshake won, and for dessert, the chocolate lava cakes won."

I smiled and gave a big hug to Alice and Rose.

"So… are you going to tell us who made everything?" Emmett asked excitedly.

"Oh yeah, I made the chicken, Alice made the milkshake and Rose made the lava cakes."

"Can you guys make some more? Please?!" he gave us a 'puppy dog' look, that didn't suit well with his build. It looked hilarious.

"Maybe later, right now, I'm a bit tired." I said to them.

"Oh okay then." He replied dejectedly and grabbed Jasper's shirt. He dragged Jasper to the living room, and started up the video game again.

I looked at the couch, where Edward once sat. But he was gone. Where did he go? And why was he acting so weird? Did I do something wrong? I sighed.

What was I thinking? Having a crush on a famous Hollywood star, not to mention, a human Adonis. Who was I kidding?
