EPOV: No Milk, Three Sugars
I woke up to some one jumping on my bed. I tried to imagine it as a dream, but the person jumping wouldn't stop. So I sat up really quick, scaring the person who was jumping and making them fall back on the bed. I started laughing and I didn't even know who it was. Then I heard more laughing, I looked over to my doorway and saw Rose, Emmett, and Jasper. Meaning...
"What did you do that for?!" Alice yelled at me trying to get back up off her back.
"I didn't know it was you, I thought it was Emmett. I'm sorry, but why are you jumping on my bed at..." I looked to my clock on the right side of my bed.
"...6:44...AM! Alice are you smoking pot or something, because if mom finds out she will kill you." Alice slapped me on the back hard, making everyone laugh...except me.
"No I am not smoking pot for you information, Edward. I wanted to wake you up because Bella is going to be singing in like two minutes if you don't hurry up we will miss her." Alice got up off the bed and shook her head to follow her. She started going super slow down the stairs, and then stopped right out side the door to the kitchen were we heard Bella singing. She was amazing. Then I realized we were all standing out her, and not in there.
"Alice, why aren't we in there?" I asked quietly trying not to make her yell at me if I was talking loudly.
She whispered back. "Because Bella would kill all of us, and if we busted in there she would stop and mom would get really mad. I like to bust in after she finishes and make it look like I'm really mad at her. Okay. Now be quite." Alice told me sternly. Then we all went back to listening to Bella.
She had a talent, just like I did with the piano. To bad she was shy. When Bella was done singing, I heard her taking to my mom about what song she wanted to hear her sing next and then she started singing again. After she finished my mom I heard started clapping lightly probably making sure no one heard. Alice turned to me and pulled me a little from the door and started talking again.
"So...shes good isn't she?" She asked me.
"Ya, shes really good. Now, can you explain to me why you bust in on her and yell." She shrugged and continued talking in whispers.
"Bella knows how much I like to hear her sing, but it's a rarity that I do. I have to sneak around to be able to. I like when we visit because it's so much easier. We all know she comes and plays for Esme three to four times a week. Mostly on rainy mornings, makes mom fell better. I run in and act all mad and stuff so she doesn't think I'm spying on her. I think mom knows but she won't tell her. She enjoys it way to much. Now if you don't mind, I have work to do." With that Alice was gone and walking through the kitchen door.
Hands on hips and everything. When she opened the door, I didn't notice anything else except for Bella. She looked beautiful in the morning. She was glowing, I guess that's what the music does to her after she sing and plays. When I finally snapped out of my moment, Alice was getting angrier and Bella looked like she was about to have a break down I had to say something.
"Alice leave her alone. You know she played, just drop it." I smiled at her and she smiled back, making me freeze for a second, before sitting down next to her. Alice stormed off, probably getting a round of applause from Rose for a great performance. I looked at Bella from the corner of my eye and leaned over slowly whispering in her ear.
"Will I get to here you play?" She stopped breathing, I realized. I should say something, but what.
"Maybe...maybe not." I was about to see if she was okay, but then I heard he whisper back those words and I froze. She was amazing. I never knew what to expect with her. I heard some one clear their throat and I looked up from Bella and saw my mother staring at us smiling. I got up slowly and went over to my mother and gave her a kiss on the cheek.
"Good morning, mother." I said before turning around and going to the counter for a cup of coffee.
"Morning. Would you like pancakes?" She asked me, but deep down I knew she knew that I would never say no to her pancakes or food in general. I nodded and she went back to flipping pancakes. I grabbed two cups for coffee, being a gentlemen and getting one for Bella to. I turned to ask her what she took in her coffee. But my mother already spoke.
"No milk, three sugars." She smirked at me. I raised an eyebrow at her.
"I've known Bella for a long time Edward. I know how she likes her coffee, I know how much she hates surprises but I still do them. I see everything and know everything." She whispered to me, not letting Bella know we were talking about her. When I finished fixing the coffee's, my mother was already sitting down eating pancakes. I sat down in the seat next to Bella and found my favorite pancakes, blueberry. I looked up again at my mother, to find her looking at me.
"I see everything and know everything. I also never forget." She went back to eating her food, and I found myself with two cups of coffee in my hands. I set Bella's down in front of her and she looked up at me with surprised look on her face.
"Thanks." Was all she could get out of her mouth before she stuttered to a stop, not saying anything back. I saw her take a drink and she turned to me and smiled.
"No milk, three sugars. You're good." I started to laugh and nodded my head to my mother.
"Thanks you, Esme." She looked over at my mother who smiled back. My mother said they were close but I never thought this close.
"You're welcome my beautiful daughter." Before my mother finished what she was saying I started choking on the coffeeI had in my mouth...daughter. She called Bella her daughter. Wow. Did I miss something here. Bella looked frightened and started clapping her hand on my back, hoping that I wasn't really choking. I coughed once more and looked up to see both of them looking at me with scarred expressions on their faces. I pointed to my mother to Bella and back and forth.
"Did you adopt Bella?" My mother giggled, followed by Bella. She was so cute when she laughed or giggled it was hard to take her seriously.
"Oh heavens no, I've been calling Bella my daughter now since her freshman year of college when she stayed with us over the summer. It's just a figure of speech Edward. Bella's just really close to the family, it's kind of hard not to picture her as a daughter." My mother was looking at me weird now, as she got up to the table to clear her plate. She looked at me one last time before leaving the room. I tried to go back to eating my food, but Bella was still giggle. I turned to her, she was holding her stomach and had a hand over her mouth.
"Ha. Ha. It took me by surprise that's all. You can stop laughing now." She did...after a couple more laughing fits.
"Sorry, it's just that was so funny. " She smiled softly at me and got up to put her plate in the sink.
"What do you think Alice is going to make us do today?" I asked her as she sat down beside me again. Before replying to my question she took a drink of her coffee and turned to meet my eyes. She had such beautiful brown eyes, I couldn't help but stare. She blushed and looked away quickly.
"She'll probably make us her slaves for the rest of the summer." I looked at her face to see if she was joking but she wasn't she was completely serious. I started laughing and so did she. That's how we were for a couple of minutes until Alice walked in, followed by Rose, Jasper and Emmett.
"FOOD!" Emmett screamed as he ran to a stack of pancakes my mother set aside for all of them. While Emmett and Jasper were eating, Alice and Rose sat across from be and Bella. Rose was smirking and Alice...well Alice was Alice.
"So are you guys ready for today?" She asked Bella and I. I heard Bella groan and I held back a laugh.
"What are we doing today, Alice?" Bella asked with a hint of sarcasm in it. I am most definitely falling for the girl. Alice didn't hear it though. She only started to bounce higher and higher in her seat.
"Well since you asked...WERE GOING CAMPING!" Camping. Alice hates to camp. I looked over to Bella who was in as much shock as I was in.
"But...but Alice you hate camping." She never took her eyes off of Alice, probably for fear that Alice might be pranking her. But I could tell she wasn't.
"I know. It was Emmett and Jasper's idea. Besides I got a better deal out of it anyway." She had her evil Alice smile on, that could only mean that she got a really scary deal. Good for her. Bad for us. I looked at her this time and asked what I bet Bella was dieing to ask.
"What kind of deal?" I asked cautiously. She turned to me, almost making me jump off my seat.
"Well brother dear. The boys were representing Bella and you. They offered to let me plan the rest of the summer if I let us go camping for two weeks to camp. Oh and I also told them we are not camping in tents, but in a cabin. They shook on it. So you can't say a word to me." She got up from the table and started dancing. I saw Bella's face from the corner of my eye. She looked scarred just like me. I wanted to tell her I would protect her. But I'm not sure if I can protect us from...Alice.

Camping. I hate camping. I'll probably end up tripping, in front of Edward and make a big fool of myself. These next two weeks are going to be great.
"So where is this fabulous cabin, I know you already rented." I asked her and she came over and hugged be lightly. She knew I wouldn't make a fuse over it, because when Alice's mind is made up,their is no changing it.
She pulled back and smiled at me. "That's for me to know and you guys to find out." I groaned really loud and she heard.
"Isabella Marie Swan, did you just groan at me." I shook my head and mouthed the word no.
"Good, you better not have. We are going to have so much fun. Were leaving tomorrow. So pack whatever you need. You boys are packing all the camping things." I heard a another groan and turned to hear who made it...Edward. When he noticed I heard him he turned slightly pink and dropped his head to watch the floor. Ha. I just made Edward Cullen blush. It was actually kind of cute. But I had more important things to worry about. Like trying not to die on this camping trip and coming home alive without a broken bone, then maybe all think about telling Edward how I feel.

How great were going camping. I'll make a fool of myself. I can't camp, and Alice knows that. I swear she is out to get me. Now I'm stuck looking at the floor, because Bella. The girl of my dreams. Made me blush. I never blush. Why would I now. I wanted to tell Bella how I felt about her, but now my chances are shot. I'll just have to wait until we get home...that's if I make it home.
