Roses are red, violets are blue Stephenie Meyer is mother to all things Twilight, and I'm simply not.
Chock-a-block—'Crammed so tightly together as to prevent movement'
Edward POV
"Mmmm" I groaned incoherently in my subdued state before I yawned. I snuggled my head into the pillow further, carrying on the dream that had just randomly come to me, involving the feeling of lips on my face.
I frowned in confusion as I felt something wet run along my cheek. I wondered when my dream had turned from kisses from a beautiful Bella to a dog that was licking my face.
Muffled giggles drew my attention from my weird dream along with the sounds of Emmett and Jasper grunting and mumbling in their sleep. My mind worked slowly in its sleep drunk state until I realised that someone was in our room.
I rubbed my eyes as I stretched and then opened them and beheld the most perfect vision on earth. My Bella. I let out a satisfied sigh as she smiled down at me and whispered, "I wondered how long it would take you to wake up…" she leant down and gave my nose a quick peck before she straightened back up and looked down at me while running a hand through my hair.
"I'm not quite woken up yet…I think you'll need to wake me up some more" I flashed her the crooked grin of mine that I knew she loved.
"We'll, you're no good to me half asleep are you?" she giggled as she sat beside me and leant slowly down to kiss me. I quickly grabbed hold of her and pulled her on top of me. "Edward!" she laughed as I sighed in contentment at simply having her close to me.
"You look so cute in the morning…" she whispered as she leant her head up to look at me while she traced her fingers lightly over my face. I shut my eyes and let her hand roam while my arms tightened around her waist.
I suddenly remembered my 'dream' where a dog licked my cheek. "Bella…" I began, drawing out her name as I opened my eyes and looked down at her, "Did you lick my face?"
Her giggles shook my body with hers as she buried her face into the crook of my neck. "Yes, I thought it might confuse you…" she admitted as she lifted her head, showing me her brown eyes which were sparkling with laughter.
"Sure as hell worked" I laughed before l gave her forehead a kiss and relaxed back into the pillow.
"Edward…Jasper!" Emmett called out in a sleepy voice.
"What?" the both of us called back quickly. I looked to the sofa on my left to see Alice strewn over Jasper much in the same way as Bella was with me.
"I'm still dreaming right?" his groggy voice came from my right. I looked over and saw a very confused Emmett lying across the sofa with a laughing Rosalie straddling his waist.
"Nope, it's happening all right…" I told him simply as I felt Bella snuggle closer to me.
"You better do something about me too…" The rest of us laughed at Rosalie's words. I turned my attention to Bella as I hear Emmett growl like a bear and Rosalie squeal.
"Where are you-" I mumbled confused and panicked as Bella began to get off the bed.
"I didn't think that it was fair…me keeping you warm when I could be under the covers with you…" she grinned at me as she slipped in beside me and snuggled into my chest.
"I'm glad you're here…" I whispered as I ran my hands up and down her back rhythmically. "How did you get in?" I asked quickly as I realised that I had definitely locked our door last night.
"Tanya opened it for us when we realised that it was mid-day and we hadn't heard anything from you…" Bella whispered back before she leant her head up and kissed my chin and then yawned, setting her head back on my chest.
"Sleepy?" I asked, surprised.
"Yeah…we didn't go to sleep strait after getting back to our room…we wanted to wear our pretty dresses for longer, so we watched some Disney's..." her words grew barely inaudible toward the end of her sentence.
I turned my head both ways, to see that the other four had fallen back asleep along with my very own sleeping beauty that was half sprawled over me…not that I was complaining. I ran my hands through her hair as I fought the urge to fall asleep again. I wanted to stay awake and watch a peaceful Bella sleep. "Edward…" I heard her whisper in her sleep a few minutes later, I fell asleep satisfied.
Bella POV
"Ohhh you should see them…they're so clueless…it's quite funny actually…" I frowned at the sound of the voice. I snuggled closer to Edward for him to dispel my funny dream that I was having. The far away voice carried on, but I couldn't understand what he or she was saying. Thankfully, the voice vanished from my dream and I fell back to sleep.
"Hello beautiful" I woke up to Edwards's sweet voice in my ear some time later.
I rolled off of Edward, to the side and stretched, clicking my back. "Hey gorgeous…" I smiled back to him as I folded my arms behind my head. Edward rolled to his side beside me and began to run his hand slowly across my stomach, under my shirt.
"Rosie…" I chuckled as Emmett's pleading voice broke out from a whisper and rang around the previously silent room.
"Why don't you lie on top of me and see how painful your back gets!" Rosalie hissed as I heard shuffling coming from their side of the room.
"Okay! Budge over and I'll go on top!" Edward, Jasper, Alice and I all burst into laughter at Emmett's eager tone.
"Emmett!" I picked up the notes of humour and shock in Rosalie's voice which told me that she wouldn't slap him like she would if someone else would have said that to her.
"That was kind of a stupid thing to say to Emmett…" Jasper laughed from the other side of the room as he and Alice sat up.
Rosalie let out a long sigh before she muttered, "Suppose so…"
"What does everyone want to do today?" Alice asked as she ran her hands through Jaspers blonde hair, looking adoringly at him as he was at her.
"Stay in bed and do nothing…" Edward mumbled against my neck as he rolled closer to me, his hand still running softly over my stomach.
"Lazy…" Jasper muttered as he gave Edward a quick side glance.
"How about the cinema? We had fun last time right?" Emmett asked as he stood up, with his bare back to the room, looking out of the glass door. I gasped, holding back my laughter as Rosalie stood up silently behind him and gave the back of his head a good smack. "What the hell was that for?" Emmett pouted at Rosalie as he rubbed his head, occasionally wincing.
"Hmmm…" Rosalie began theatrically as she tapped her chin, "Maybe that was for last time, when you stuck your freezing cold hand on my stomach Mr!" She glared at him as she set her hands firmly on her hips.
"Sorry…" Emmett whispered with a puppy dog look on his face as he bit his bottom lip. "Rosie…could you kiss it better…you hurt it real bad…" The rest of us cracked up at Emmett's five year old impression as he pointed to the back of his head.
Rosalie kept up her tough stance for a few more seconds, until Emmett leant forwards toward her and whispered a childish "please" as he smiled at her.
"Turn around you big baby!" Rosalie laughed before she planted a smacking kiss to the back of his head and then hugged her arms around his huge torso, resting her head on his shoulder.
"Cinema it is then guys!" Emmett announced as her grabbed hold of Rosalie's hands that were running up and down his abs.
"Yippee…" Edward muttered sarcastically against my neck, tickling me with his breath until he began to trail, hot, hungry kisses over my neck and moved his hand from my stomach to my hip. "We can stay here right…we don't have to get out of bed?" Edward almost begged as he looked up to me with pleading eyes.
"Nice try Romeo, but you're coming with me, you know how cold I got in there last time" I told him before, regrettably, I quickly scooted out from his embrace and the bed.
"No fair Juliet…" he smiled my favourite smile at me before he got out of bed. My eyes shamelessly ran over his bare upper body, drinking in the exquisite sight of him.
A few minutes later, Alice Rosalie and I were sat in front of the guys TV, waiting for them while they showered and got ready.
"Ohhh God…" Rosalie began as she leant forward, with her head in her hands. Her voice dripped with dread and fear.
"Rose? Are you going to hurl?" Alice asked as I rubbed her back softly.
"No…I'm not sick!" She half laughed before she continued, "I love that big buffoon in there!" she whispered as she dropped her hands and let her head hang.
"Ohhh my God!" Alice somehow managed to scream excitedly in a whisper. "I told Jasper that I loved him the day he asked me to be his girlfriend…after that week on land…" Rosalie and I both stared at Alice, dumbfounded that she hadn't told us this. Thankfully, she pulled herself out of her own little world and noticed our astounded looks. "Sorry I didn't tell you before…but it was mine and Jasper's little secret." I couldn't help but smile at the dreamy look that washed over Alice's face.
"Should I tell Emmett…I mean…I know he cares about me…but love?" Rosalie muttered as she sat herself up a little straighter and played nervously with a strand of her hair.
"Tell him! Go for it!" Alice backed up my words with some motivational words and advice before Rosalie turned to me and asked the question that I'd been dreading.
"No Edward hasn't told me that he loves me…" I mumbled the answer as I looked away from them. I tried to keep the tone of disappointment out of my voice, but they heard it.
"Why don't you tell Edward how you feel…I can see that he loves you…" Alice stated confidently as she smiled encouragingly at me.
"I can't Alice…not until I know for sure…especially after Jake…" I didn't need to finish my sentence, they both knew the commitment problem that I'd developed after Jake and still had even though Edward had helped to chase away a lot of my worries.
"Ready pumpkin?" Emmett's cheery voice came from the door a minute later, immediately swiping the speculative look from Rosalie's face and replacing it with a happy, serene look.
"Ready pie" she laughed back as she got up and walked to him.
"Ha-ha…pumpkin pie!" Emmett chuckled as he pulled Rosalie into a bear hug and kissed the top of her head.
"Jasper…do you remember hearing anything about Emmett being dropped on his head as a baby?" Edwards's voice came from door, followed by a speculative look from Jasper and a shrug. Turning around, Edwards eyes locked with mine. "Coming?" he asked as he held his hand out to me.
I didn't need asking twice. I jumped up from the sofa and made my way to Edward who wrapped an arm around my waist securely before leading us all out of the suite.
"Monsters Inc…Monsters Inc…Monsters Inc…" Emmett and I chanted together while high-5ing in time to our chant.
"Okay…okay…enough already!" Rosalie called as she shook her head in embarrassment. I looked to Edward to see how he had taken my childish moment with Emmett. Thankfully, I was rewarded with a shake of the head and an amused smile.
"I never thought that I'd find someone else that loved Disney films as much as Emmett, Jasper and I do…" he whispered in my ear as we queued up for our tickets.
"You love Disney too?" I asked, perplexed at why he and Jasper hadn't joined Emmett and me with our chant.
"I love them, I just don't have the same impulse as you and Emmett seem to have to literally make a song and dance out of it." He informed me as he pulled me closer to him and planted a kiss on the bridge of my nose.
"You can't go wrong with a good song and dance, right Emmett!?" I called over Edwards shoulder at Emmett who was already making various impressions of different characters in the film to Rosalie.
"Edward! She's a keeper!" Emmett called out enthusiastically, causing me to blush into Edwards's side at his announcement.
"I know…" Edward whispered in my ear before he kissed my cheek and held me closer to him.
Once we had our tickets and snacks, we made our way into the cinema and found an empty row near the back, away from the sprinkle of children that littered the front rows.
Alice and Jasper shimmied in first, then Rosalie and Emmett, and finally me and Edward. Throughout the film, Emmett and I would say the lines out aloud, with the characters and then laugh when the little kids up front would get annoyed.
"Twins, in a bunk-bed!" Emmett and I called out at the same time in the beginning of the film, then laughed together before we high-5ed.
Soon, Emmett and I were whispering up coming lines to the Edward, Alice, Jasper and Rosalie and we were all calling out the lines at the same time, drowning out the characters voices and aggravating the kids even more while chucking popcorn at them.
"Hot air balloon? Too expensive. Giant slingshot? Too conspicuous. Enormous wooden horse? Too Greek." We all called out in unison before we collapsed into loud laughter.
When the little blighters in front turned around and started to pelt popcorn back at us, we up and left. We decided that it'd be better if we left quietly without any more drama. As we left, Emmett stopped and quickly spoke to one of the cinema staff before he caught back up with us, laughing.
"What did you tell him?" Edward asked as her wrapped an arm over my shoulder.
"I told him that we left quietly because of the hoo-hah that the kids were making in there while we tried to watch the film." Emmett told us as he grabbed hold of Rosalie's hand and started swinging it back and forth between them.
"That was pretty fun…" Alice laughed once Jasper had perched her on his back, carrying her easily as if she weighed nothing.
"What can we do now? It's still kind of early…" I asked as I looked around at each of them. I felt Edwards arm tighten on my shoulders as he announced that he'd sort everything out once we'd get back to our suites.
"See you in a few" Edward kissed me before he, Emmett and Jasper vanished into their suite.
"I wonder what they're up to?" Alice mused as she shut our door behind us and followed me and Rosalie into the living room to wait as we had been instructed to do.
Ten long minutes later, I threw back our door after loud knocking. I gasped in surprise as I beheld the sight. The guys had a huge portable TV on a trolley and DVD player along with another tray which was laden with various foods and drinks.
"You'd better come in…" I muttered as I stepped aside and let them over the threshold. Edward pulled the TV trolley into the bedroom and set it up next to the end of the bed while Emmett and Jasper manoeuvred the foods trolley to the side of the bedroom, out of the way.
Alice and Rosalie soon joined me at the door and watched while the guys plugged in cables and sorted out the plates of snacks and drinks. Silently, I wondered what the funny shaped bundle on the bottom level of the food trolley was, but I kept silent as I watched Edward lean over, giving me a perfect view of his pert, perfect butt.
"Put these on and come back in here…" Jasper ordered as he passed us one bundle each and ushered us out of the room after giving Alice a quick kiss.
"What the hell…?" I asked mainly to myself as I shut the living room door behind me.
"Awwww…those guys are too perfect…" Alice cooed as she began to take off her clothes and put on the ones Jasper handed to her.
I looked down to mine and realised that I had Edwards clothes, the same black hoodie and gray sweats that I'd worn the morning after being drugged at the club. I tugged them on eagerly and then laughed once I saw that Rosalie was apparently still wearing her denim shorts, but Emmett's monsterous hoodie came to her mid thigh, making her look like she was half naked.
Alice on the other hand wore an expensive looking black shirt and her own pair of sweats. As Alice was busy rolling up the sleeves I noticed that the shirt came to her mid thigh as well.
"We look cute…" I giggled at them as I looked over my own clothes.
"I think that's the whole point…my God their possessive!" Rosalie sighed as she sniffed Emmett's hoodie.
"I think sexy when they get possessive…" Alice whispered as she sorted out the collar of the shirt as she glanced from Rosalie to me.
"Snap…" I smiled at her before I headed for the door to get back to the bedroom. I walked into the room and threw my clothes into the corner before two strong arms enveloped me from behind, pulling me up against a solid chest.
"You look good in my clothes…" Edward purred in my ear as one of his hands came to rest on my butt which he squeezed through the baggy fabric of his too big sweats.
"Mmmm…I bet you'd look good in my clothes…" I smiled as I wiggled out of his embrace and turned around to look at him.
"Ohhh no…!" he exclaimed as he held up his hands and backed away from me slowly, shaking his head.
"Ohhh yes…" I retorted before turned to see Alice and Rosalie looking at Emmett and Jasper with the same…some might call it 'unhinged' look that I knew that I had on my face.
"One item of clothing…that's it sweetie…I swear…" Jasper caved in and set the terms.
"Okay…why don't you guys just sit there till we get back?" Alice offered before we headed to the closet, closing the door behind us.
"Bella you little devil!" Rosalie laughed as she dove into her pile of clothing and started pulling out some possibilities.
I grinned back at her before I turned to my mass of clothes. I sighed in defeat as I realised that hardly anything would fit Edward unless I was willing to let him stretch or tear my clothes. Finally I picked a simple boring, yet pink, sock.
Alice arched one of her perfect brows at me before she asked, "Bella…cant you do any better than that?"
I shook my head in the negative before I admitted, "I don't want to torture him, and I'm kind of getting attached to this hoodie…" I smiled to myself as I buried my face in it and breathed in the distinctive intoxicating smell of Edward.
"Touché…" Alice whispered as she studied the pink cardigan that she held in her hand. She stared at it for a few more seconds before she glanced at the shirt that she wore, and then she threw away the cardigan and picked a measly sock.
"Rosalie?" I asked as I realised that she was holding something behind her back.
She flashed me a mischievous smile before she pulled forth one of her skimpy tie up bikini tops. Alice and I laughed aloud while Rosalie looked smugly at the article of clothing in her hand. "Shall we?" She asked formally as she balled the bikini top in her hand, behind her back before leading the way back to the bedroom.
I smirked as I saw the guys sat in a row along the bed with gloomy looks on their faces. Rosalie stood in front of Emmett, while I did the same with Edward and Alice with Jasper.
Rosalie was the first to proclaim Emmett's article of clothing, issuing a groan each from Edward and Jasper, but a sly grin from Emmett. "That's not so bad…" he muttered before he grabbed it from Rosalie's hand and began to tie it around his huge upper arm.
"What the hell…you know that's not where it goes!" Rosalie exclaimed as she watched Emmett, with her hands planted firmly on her hips.
"You didn't state any specific rules pumpkin…" Emmett grinned back victoriously before he pulled a fuming 'pumpkin' into his lap.
"Here…" I muttered as I saw Alice hand Jasper the article of clothing that she had for him.
"A sock? Really Bella?" Edward seemed really perplexed by my choice.
I nodded my head slightly before I sat on his lap and explained how I didn't want to embarrass him and how nothing else would fit him anyway.
"Thank you…" Edward whispered in my ear before he kissed my neck and leant down, with me still in his lap and stuck my small sock on roughly over one of his bare feet.
I laughed as I looked down to his one shockingly pink clad foot. "Come on, back to business" Edward ordered as he whispered an order for me to find some room on the bed for the both of us while he went and shut the drapes and got the DVD running.
I scrambled onto the bottom of the bed while Emmett took the top left side of the bed, with Rosalie sat between his legs and leant back against his chest and Alice sat on Jaspers lap on the right side of the bed.
Edward lay down along the bed behind me once he had all of the remotes beside us. I shimmied back and snuggled my back against his chest as he wrapped a solid arm around my waist, holding me to him closely.
"Queen of the Damned? Isn't this a vampire film?" Emmett asked from behind us once Edward had hit the 'play' button.
"Yes Emmett…" Edward sighed before he turned his attention back to the film, flitting his fingers almost absently across my stomach, under the hoodie as he had been doing hours before.
"Sweet…vampires kick ass…" Emmett whispered before silence washed over the room as the film began properly.
Sleep caught hold of me towards the end of the film at the accumulation of Edward's angel soft touch across my stomach, his warmth and his most welcome random kisses in my hair.
I woke up to find the room darkened and silent. A faint glow from the bright moon washed over the room where the drapes hadn't been fully closed. I turned in Edwards embrace to face him, grateful that the room wasn't pitch-black. His beautiful face greeted me as I realised that he had been watching me sleep seeing as he hadn't moved an inch since I turned around.
"You're so beautiful…" he whispered to me as his eyes bore into mine, holding a powerful intensity that caused something to pull at my heart.
"You're pretty easy on the eyes yourself…" I whispered before I raised my head up and pressed my lips to his.
His lips broke from mine a few moments later as I felt the bed move slightly and heard Edward grunt. I gave Edward a questioning look before he answered, "Emmett kicked me in his sleep…"
I snuggled myself into his chest as I pulled him a little further from Emmett's dangerous feet. Once I was sure that Edward was safely out of attacking range, I closed my eyes and let sleep wash over me while I struggled to listen to the peaceful tune that Edward was humming in my ear.
Fluff!! Why not…?
I have to say-I totally Love Monsters Inc. and I had to put the "Twins, in a bunk-bed!" line in…me and my sister love that bit! Big-up the twinnies out there! Ha-ha!
