Chapter 17
"Gez guys get a room or something." Alice yelled from upstairs.
Edward groaned and I giggled. It was funny. "Get over it Alice," I yelled after her, "be happy we're back together again."
In a blink she was back in the kitchen. She wrapped her arms around me, "I know, it's wonderful isn't it? I can't wait to tell Esme she'll be excited to." She squealed. She turned to Edward, "it's about bloody time. It's only taken almost a year." She turned back to me, "boys." She rolled her eyes and headed out the room. "I'm going to find Jasper. Not that you probably care." She floated out the room with a departing sigh and threw a "lovebirds" over her shoulder.
I was glad to see that Edward was smiling. I thought he was going to rip her head off or something. I reached my hand out and grabbed his. I smiled at him contently. "This is nice." I murmured.
He sat down next to me and I placed my head on his shoulder and closed my eyes enjoying the silence. Our bliss was rudely interrupted minutes later by a loud Emmett and Jasper. It seemed that the Jasper had somehow managed to trip up Emmett which had resulted in a loud, really loud yelling contest between the two of them.
"It was not fair!" Emmett yelled, his voice bouncing off the walls "I said that you couldn't trip me up if I knew what you were doing."
"That is totally pointless," Jasper contradicted.
The boys made their way into the kitchen and saw Edward and I in a lover's embrace. "Whoo," Emmett said, "looks like Alice was right."
Jasper sighed, "You should know by now that you don't bet against Alice." He took a swipe at Emmett's head, which he managed to duck in time.
"Ha! Didn't get me that time!" he said poking his tongue out at Jasper acting like a two year old. Jasper responded by doing the same thing.
Edward rolled his eyes and I tried to keep a straight face. These guys were supposed to deadly vampires and here they were poking their tongues out at each other.
"See what I have to live with?" Edward asked me, whispering in my ear.
"Hey," Emmett said, temporarily distracted from his tongue poking session with Jasper, "I resent that!"
I got up from the table, "I think I'll go find Alice." I kissed Edward lightly and then hobbled up the stairs to Alice's room.
I could hear the boys arguing downstairs but being the only one in the house without super vampire hearing it was just muffled voices. I knocked lightly on Alice's door, "Come in Bella." She sang out. I opened the door and moved slowly into the room.
My eyes roamed the room. I had never been in Alice and Jasper's room before. It was simple. The largest wall in the room was taken up with a huge closet with mirrored doors. Alice, seeing my shock at the size of her closet, merely shrugged, "it's full. I have had to resort to putting some of my clothes out in the linen press, much to Esme disgust."
Shocked I nodded and sat down on the bed. It took a moment to realize that there was actually a bed in her room."You have a bed?" I asked in disbelief.
She looked at me, "of course we have a bed." She said as if was the most stupid thing I had ever said.
"But you don't sleep…"
She laughed, "Of course, Edward only has a couch." She looked at me seriously, "Jasper and I have a requirement for a bed."
I flushed red. I was such an idiot. Why would I even ask something that stupid? "Oh, Emmett stop laughing." Alice yelled.
I blushed a deeper shade of red I couldn't believe that they were listening to our conversation downstairs. "Would like to see my bed Bella?" Emmett asked popping his head in the room.
I just wanted to dig a hole in the ground and die. This was so embarrassing. Alice threw something at him. I had no idea what it was. It was just like a missile that managed to hit him. Edward appeared at his side and wacked him over the head. Emmett rubbed his head, "Ow that hurt." and he went to hit Edward in his solarplexes but he was too fast and dodged it.
"Oi, no fighting in my room!" Alice yelled.
"Our room." Jasper corrected.
Alice rolled her eyes and turned to Emmett, "Don't forget I won the bet so we are going shopping."
Emmett groaned and Edward and Jasper burst into hysterics. I was confused. Seeing the confusion on my face Edward explained, "Alice and Emmett were taking bets about when we would get back together again."
I looked at Alice, "That wasn't very nice."
Alice smiled sweetly and shrugged, "We were bored and it was sunny so there was nothing better to do."
I shook my head and looked at Edward to continue, "Alice said we would be all lovey-dovey today and Emmett said it would be at least another week. Stupid him."
"Thought you make him feel some pain Bella. You disappoint me." Emmett said shaking his head.
I shrugged, "I'm sure you will get over it Emmett." I said smiling.
Edward laughed, "I doubt that." He paused to regain himself from the hysterics that had overcome him, "Alice decided that if he lost she would get to re-do his entire wardrobe." He burst into laughter again, this time joined with Jasper.
Alice smiled evilly, "yep, and I'm thinking pink."
"No" Emmett yelled collapsing to his knees, "I'll do anything. Just not pink!"
Alice shrugged, "Rose will like it. She loves pink."
I believe that if Emmett could have cried he would have been bawling at this moment.
"Edward…" he started, turning to Edward for support.
Edward shrugged, "you should know better than to bet against Alice."
"I know, I know. I just got so carried away I forgot."
Rosalie chose that moment to enter the room as well. Alice sighed, "This is only a small room people."
Rosalie looked at her and then turned to Emmett, "What did you get so carried away with that you forgot?"
A/N: Ok I chose to end it there because I was having too much fun writing that part that I could have just gone on and on and on. So I'll break it up and give you some more next chapter. Sorry about all the confusion, but in summary have decided to keep on writing the story because there is still heaps of unresolved issues that need to be addressed. Hoping to update soon although I am in the middle of exams and should be studying so we shall see how I go. Keep up the review. I love them!
