I woke up on Friday morning to a bright, piercing light streaming through the windows. I sat up, slightly confused, and padded over to the window. When I pulled back the curtains I was shocked to be greeted by clear skies. I grinned and turned around to inspect the outfit Alice had laid out for me. I was a little worried about her mental health last night when I saw it, but now I'm starting to think she might be psychic.
I made my way to the bathroom to wash my face and brush my teeth before pulling my hair back into a low ponytail over my right shoulder, and straightening my bangs into a side-swept style over my right eye. I punned on a little eyeliner and mascara before heading back into my room to get dressed.
I pulled on a pair of black pinstriped shorts with a cuffed hem that barely came down to my fingertips, making my ivory-skinned legs appear longer. I pulled a tight white short-sleeved on, then slid my arms into a fitted black vest that ended at my ribcage. I finished the outfit off with black low-top converse and grabbed my bag before heading downstairs. Charlie was already gone for the day, so I made myself some toast while I waited for Edward.
A few minutes later, there was a knock at the door, and I slid my backpack onto my shoulder before grabbing Edward's jacket off the coat rack and throwing it over my arm. A smile spread across my face as I saw Edward standing on my porch, his eyes traveling slowly over my body. When his eyes finally reached mine, he flashed me that crooked grin and reached his arms out to wrap them around my waist. He pulled me into his chest and kissed the top of my head, just holding me for a few minutes. When he finally pulled back he quickly pressed his lips to mine then grabbed my hand, leading me to his car.
"You look beautiful, love," he said, his eyes roaming over me once again. My eyes widened and my breath hitched in my throat at the term 'love'. I smiled to myself as I thought that maybe Alice did know what she was talking about, and I turned to give Edward a quick kiss before saying thank you. He opened my door for me, always the gentlemen, before climbing into the drivers seat.
Once he started backing out of my driveway, I slowly crossed my left leg over my right, exaggerating the movement to reveal the toned muscles in my legs. I smiled in satisfaction as Edward's eyes widened and he gulped audibly, and silently thanked Alice for the last minute tips of seduction she had drilled into me on the way home last night. Edward gripped the steering wheel tighter, the bones in his hands straining against the skin.
We made it to the school quickly, and Edward jumped out to open my door for me as usual. I quickly slipped on his jacket as he grabbed my bag out of the car and slid it on his shoulder with his own. He smiled down at me and put his left arm around my waist, pulling me close to his side.
The morning passed quickly, with Edward openly ogling my bare legs and tight top, and glaring daggers at anyone else who dared to look in my direction. I spent free period with Alice and Rosalie, the three of us sitting in the bleachers under an umbrella while we watched our men run laps together. Let me tell you, I thought nothing was hotter than Edward in jeans and a button-down; I was wrong. Sweaty Edward is by far, the hottest thing I have ever seen in my life, and I intend to make him run laps for me on a daily basis.
At lunch I plopped myself casual on Edward's lap like it was the most normal thing in the world, with one arm draped over his shoulders, my head resting in the crook of his neck. His breathing became suspiciously uneven, and I felt him shift several times underneath me, trying to hide just how much he enjoyed this position. I giggled lightly and placed a lingering kiss on his neck, then winked at Rose and Alice and stood to lead Edward off to class.
Edward seemed to reach his peak after my little stunt in the cafeteria, and turned the tables on me in biology. He placed his hand lightly on my knee at the beginning of class, then slowly inched it higher up my thigh throughout the hour. Occasionally he would rub smile circles on my skin with his thumb, before running his hand up and down the length of my thigh, always bringing it closer to the hem of my shorts. By the time class ended his hand was resting just under the edge of my shorts and my heart was racing.
He picked up both of our bags and led me into the hallway, but instead of heading for the parking lot he led me behind the science building. Once we were out of eyesight he turned and pushed me up against the wall and placed his hands on my hips before crashing his lips into my own. I moaned instantly at the contact, causing a growl to rumble through Edward's chest. The sound lit a flame in the pit of my stomach, and I laced my fingers into his hair, holding his face closer to my own, and pressed my hips into his. We both groaned at the contact, and he swiped his tongue across my bottom lip, begging for entrance. I quickly obliged, opening my mouth and allowing his tongue to explore every inch. His right hand reached up to cup my neck while his left pressed into my lower back, holding my body close.
When my lungs were ready to burst from lack of oxygen, I pulled away gasping. Edward's lips moved across my jaw and down my throat, never breaking contact, causing me to shiver involuntarily. He slowed his kisses, letting them become sweeter and softer, slowly making his way back to my mouth. He planted a few chaste kisses on my lips before resting his forehead against mine and breathing heavily. We stood there for a few minutes, just holding on to each other, before I looked up into his eyes, a smug smile on my lips.
"Wow, Edward. Not that I'm complaining, but what brought all of that on?" I quirked an eyebrow at him, and bit my lip to keep from laughing. His eyes darkened and he grinned impishly at me.
"I don't know, Bella. I wonder what it was..." he looked up at the sky, pretending to be deep in thought, before turning back to me and digging his fingers into my sides, tickling me feverishly. "That wasn't very nice, Bella. I hope you learned your lesson," he teased, refusing to let me go as I squirmed in his arms, giggling wildly and gasping for air.
"No, Edward, stop! I'm sorry! I won't ever do that again!" I screamed, desperate to end his attack.
"Oh, I didn't say that I didn't like it. Just that you needed a taste of your own medicine, so that is what I gave you." He finally stopped tickling me, only to pull me close to him so that he could plant a lingering kiss on my lips. He released me and grabbed my hand, leading me to the parking lot.
He drove me back to my house, so that he could go get ready for tonight's game. He gave me one last, passionate kiss before promising to see me tonight, and I stumbled my way inside. Once he pulled out of the driveway I raced upstairs, pulling off my shoes as I went. I stripped off my clothes and jumped in the shower, standing under the hot water until it ran cold. I toweled off quickly, then slipped into my robe as I carefully blow-dried my hair, making sure that it was impeccably straight.
I headed back to my room to pull on the second outfit Alice had laid out for me. I slipped into a pair of tight, low-rise, boot cut jeans and pulled on the shirt that Alice had made for me. It was a royal blue t-shirt with the Forks mascot, a spartan, printed on the front in yellow. It had 'Cullen' written across my shoulder blades in the back and Edward's number, 23, underneath that. The shirt was snug, and hugged my curves, a perfect match to Alice and Roses shirts, although theirs said 'Whitlock' and 'McCarty', respectively. I pulled my hair up into a ponytail, letting my bags hang down, and put on mascara and lip gloss before slipping on my converse. I grabbed Edward's jacket and slid my phone, ID, and some cash into my back pocket before picking up my keys and the overnight bag I had packed for tonight and headed toward the door.
The girls and I were going to meet up at the Cullen's house to make signs for our men, then we would ride to the game together. The guys were already at the field, getting ready for the game. I pulled into Alice's driveway and noticed a black Mercedes parked in front of the garage next to Rose's BMW, and my hands instantly started sweating. When I agreed to meet the girls here I never considered that Edwards parents might be home. I parked my truck and took a deep breath in an attempt to calm my nerves, and slowly made my way up to the front porch.
The door swung open before I could knock, and Alice and Rose each reached out and grabbed an arm, hauling me inside before wrapping me in a tight hug. I laughed at their enthusiasm, momentarily forgetting my nerves. They let me go just to slip their arms through mine, and led me through the entryway into a large living room, where a man and woman sat. The couple turned to look at me, and I was shocked by how attractive they were.
They both looked to be somewhere in their mid-thirties, and their faces were angelic. The woman had caramel colored hair and light hazel eyes, while the man had bright blonde hair and dark blue eyes. They both stood when we walked in and smiled calmly at me.
"Mom, Dad, this is Bella, my best friend and Edward's girlfriend," Alice explained who I was to her parents before turning to me. "Bella, these are my parents. Edward says he's sorry he couldn't be here to introduce you himself." She smiled at me before looking back at her parents and pushing me forward a little.
"It's so nice to meet you, Mr. and Mrs. Cullen," I said quietly.
"Oh please, sweetie, call us Esme and Carlisle. And it's a pleasure to meet you as well. Edward has told us so much about you. He really is quite taken with you." Esme hugged me tightly then stepped back to allow her husband to shake my hand. They both smiled at me kindly, and I felt my familiar blush rise to my cheeks.
"Well come on, girls, let's go make some signs!" Alice cheered, dragging Rose and me from the room. She led us up the stairs and down a long hallway toward her bedroom. She stopped at the end of the hall and opened her door, then turned around and gestured to the room across from hers.
"That's Edward's room, just in case you were curious. You can go put your bag in there if you want," she winked at me and walked into her own bedroom. I smiled widely and opened the door to Edward's room, flicking on the light as I walked in.
His room was large, with a king-sized bed in the center of the left wall, and a large entertainment center on the right wall. The armoire held a flat-screened TV and CD player, and was flanked by two bookshelves, filled with books and music. The wall opposite the door had a large bay window with a bench seat, and looked out over a small creek in the backyard. I placed my bag on the floor beside the bed, then made my way over to a door to the right of the entertainment center. The door opened to reveal a massive walk-in closet, filled to the brim with clothes and shoes no doubt picked out by Alice. I chuckled lightly then went to open the door on the other side of the shelves. This door concealed a small bathroom with a shower stall, water closet, and vanity.
I walked back out of Edward's room, closing the door softly behind me, then crossed the hall to Alice's room. She and Rose were spread out on the floor, surrounded by poster-board, markers, and glitter of every color. I joined them on the floor and began helping them make the signs. We worked on them for a little over an hour before Alice declared it was time to get ready, and we put away our supplies. Alice disappeared into her bathroom and reemerged moments later with a small can of spray glitter that she slipped into her purse, telling us it was for later. Rose and I exchanged hesitant looks before shrugging our shoulders and gathering our signs.
We made our way downstairs and said goodbye to Edward's parents. They were leaving right after us to attend a charity ball in Seattle to raise money for the hospital. They were going to stay in a hotel for the weekend, spending some time together alone and allowing us kids to have the house to ourselves. When we got outside Alice informed me that she had already called Charlie and convinced him to let me stay another night, and I squealed loudly before kissing Alice on the cheek and jumping into the car.
We got to the football stadium almost ten minutes later, and climbed out of the car. We each pulled on our man's Letterman jacket and grabbed our signs, then went in search of some empty seats. The stadium was starting to fill up, but we were able to find an empty row of seats right at the bottom on the fifty yard-line. Rose went to the concession stand to get us all cokes and pretzels, and Alice and I chatted excitedly while waiting for our men to make their entrance.
Right after Rose made it back with our snacks, the stadium speakers began blaring AC/DC and our team came running onto the field with our men out front. We all jumped to our feet and screamed along with the crowd, whistling and making catcalls to our spandex-clad boyfriends. The boys turned to the crowd once they reached the sidelines, searching for us in the stands. Alice stuck her index finger and thumb in between her lips and let out an earsplitting whistle, and all three of their heads whipped in our directions. My eyes locked with Edwards and I winked at him, causing a large grin to spread across his face.
The boys' attention was brought back to the field as the other team came out, and they all lined up in their positions. Throughout the game I cheered and screamed with Alice and Rose, waving my sign in the air, my eyes never leaving Edward. He really was a gifted athlete, and I marveled over the ease with which he moved across the field. When the game finally came to an end, we had won 27-16, and the three of us rushed onto the field with the crowd as the marching band played the school song.
When I reached Edward he pulled of his helmet, holding it in one hand, while he gripped my waist with the other, pulling me up to plant a kiss on my lips. His face was flushed from all of the exercise, and his danced with excitement, I stared up at him and I marveled at how truly lucky I was to have the love of such a beautiful man.
A/N: Is anyone else panting at the idea of a Edward all hot and sweaty, dressed in football gear? Mm-mm! That is a beautiful mental picture =P I'm putting the sleepover up next, and it's in EPOV so get ready!
