To say I am sorry for keeping on updating so late... I have written an extra long chapter! One of my biggest chapter's by far so I hope you enjoy =D Oh and thank you for Sarahwrites for reviewing!
I do not own Twilight.
As soon as I woke up my mind was racing of what the day would be like. I imagined what would happen when he came to pick me up; would my parents like him, how many of my siblings will show up, how much will they grill him and how he would handle it all. I played every different scenario in my head up to the point when I got in the car with him then my mind went blank. I just had no idea what to expect today. I was enjoying the peace and quiet in my room though so I listened to my IPod and just lay there, letting my mind wonder. I could have stayed there all day until I saw the time, 11.30, CRAP! Only an hour and a half till Charlie gets here. I dragged myself out of bed to the kitchen; I wasn't in the mode to be teased by anyone so I kept my headphones in. I put on my favourite playlist; songs consisting of loud, club like music... it drives everyone insane wuahaha. I was dancing around the kitchen making some breakfast/lunch contraption, listening to Don't stop the party by Black eyed peas, when Edward yanked my headphones out of my ears.
"What the hell?" I was not happy to say the least.
"I've been trying to get your attention for a while. Could you please turn that rubbish music off?" He said in a sadistic tone. I could tell that I was rubbing him up the wrong way, just like he was with me.
"I like it" I simply stated as I turned it back on, turning it up louder. This time he took my IPod off me which pushed me to my limit.
"GIVE IT BACK!" I screamed.
"Nope. I'm not in the mode for your stupid music."
"Well I AM! Give it back to me!" I yelled at him as I took a swipe at his hand to get back.
"Vampire reflexes and speed remember" He mocked me at my silly attempt.
"I had my head phones in! This is totally not fair!" I was about to scream now.
"Well we can all still hear it"
"IT'S NOT MY FAULT YOU ARE ALL STUPID VAMPIRES! GIVE ME BACK MY FUCKING IPOD!" I had completely lost it; Edward had pushed me way too far.
"Becca, no swearing!" Dad piped up as an authority figure finally showed up. I could not believe that I was the one getting in trouble though.
"It is all Edward!" I was just about on the verge of tears; I did not expect my day to start like this.
"Edward give her back her IPod" Dad said in a frustrated tone. Edward released his grip on my IPod and held his hand out for me to take it. I snatched it off him, glaring at him the whole time.
"Wow someone has PMS today" Emmett interjected. My face turned a bright red. Not from embarrassment but from pure rage.
"WHAT THE HELL?" how dear he actually say that too me!
"Oh dear..." Dad knew what was about to happen.
"PMS! Really, you think I have PMS!" I yelled at Emmett. He opened his mouth to say something but I didn't give him the chance.
"You just stand there as my brother tease's me and take's my stuff then you blame me for having PMS! How dear you? You should be standing up for me! Not blaming for being HUMAN!" With that I punched him with my cast, thinking that was the best chance of hurting him. Of course it only hurt me but I couldn't feel it at the time; I was too consumed in my rage. I stormed out of the room and up the stairs.
"Come back here Becca" I heard my Dad call behind me but there was no way I was going back.
"GO AWAY! I HATE YOU ALL!" I slammed the door behind me and fell on my bed in tears; burying my face into my pillow. They knew I wasn't a morning person so why were they winding me up so much when they know I'm not going to react well. I am trying to be human like they want but I get in trouble for it. Gahh all I wanted to do was to listen to my IPod and start getting ready for my date... Oh god my date! I scrambled off my bed to check the time, 12:17. I do not want to go a date now; I feel awful and my arm is killing me. I looked in mirror as I puffy eyed, red faced version of me looked back. Well I'm not going to back out of it; that's exactly what they would want. I took a couple of deep breaths and splashed some water on my face to help me cool down then got into my outfit Alice helped me pick out. I slipped my dressing gown over top as I started to apply some makeup and do my hair. I was sitting doing my hair when my sisters and mum appeared in the mirror.
"I am so incredibly sorry for Emmett's actions" Rose told me as she hugged me.
"And I apologize on the behalf of Edward! He should not have taken your IPod off you!"Bella told me as she joined the hug.
"And I am sorry for not seeing this coming!" Alice said; I knew she really just wanted to get in on the hug.
"Ok, Ok" I said trying to get them off me to wipe away the tears that were starting to form.
"They had no right to talk to you like that. So they have agreed to not be here when Charlie comes to pick you up" Mum informed me. YES! Best thing that could happen; no scary brothers or Dad around to intimidate him.
"Thank you" I told her as I continued to do my hair as I started to get excited for my date again.
"Still think it's weird that you are going out with a Charlie. It reminds me of my dad" Bella commented as she screwed up her face.
"Well luckily I don't have that problem" I know she was just trying to lighten the mode but the only thing that would really help at the moment is if I got out of the house; I wasn't angry at them though so I couldn't kick them out of my room.
"Do you want me to do a fish tail?" Rose asked as she started to play with my hair.
"Sure why not" Straight is boring anyway.
"Alice why couldn't you see what happened today?" I wanted to ask for a while; there are a couple of incidence's that she hasn't seen coming involving me.
"I don't really know..."I puzzled look appeared on her face, looks like I'm not the only who has thought about this.
"I do have a theory," She continued to say "Well at first I thought it was because I don't try to see your future, you know so you can have a normal life. But when I do try I still don't see as much as should be able to. So I have decided that you are a very impulsive person causing you to set your future then and there not giving me enough time to have a chance to see it. I guess you are just unintentionally doing it like you do with blocking Edward out. " Never really thought of myself as an impulsive person but it does make a little bit of sense; that information might come in handy later.
"But I block out Edward intentionally." Which is true; don't know what I would do if we was able to hear my thoughts.
"True but unlike other people you are actually able to do it" Mum said, guess they have had a family discussion about this already.
"However I can see that Charlie is going to arrive in two minutes" Alice said with a sly smile.
"DONE!" Rose yelled showing me what she has done and it is amazing. A perfect side fish tail. I started to panic even though I was ready. I sat there in my chair trying not to show it though; being fused over would not help at the moment.
"Honey your dad said you hit Emmett with your cast" Mum asked
"Maybe..." I did not want to get in trouble about that this very minute
"You're not in trouble" Well thank god for that "Dad asked me to check that it's not sore or anything"
"Yeah... it hurts a bit" Now that she has mentioned it the pain has gotten worse, well I am actually noticing it now.
"Okay, he will have a look at it when you get back but until that take some Panadol" She said handing me a couple of pills. I took them out of her hand and went to my bedside table to grab my water bottle. I swallowed them in one gulp and when I looked everyone was gone; that's when the door bell rang. I jumped out of my skin at the sound as my heart started racing. I heard my mum answer the door and great the people standing there; she introduced herself and Alice and Bella who must have been down stairs all ready. Then she called me down. I was walking down the stairs, Rose in tow, when I saw Charlie grinning at the bottom of the stairs. I blushed as I realised that all the attention was on me.
"So we were thinking that they could go to a movie and then have dinner back it our house, that sound alright to you?" Charlie's mum asked mine
"Sure, sounds lovely" mum replied "I will have my husband come pick her up later if that is more convenient for you?"
"That would help a lot, thank you! Should be done around 6"
"Excellent, Carlisle will be around then."
"Well we should be off, don't want to miss the movie. Ready to go you two?"
"Yup!" I said not able to wipe the smile off my face
"Okay have fun baby" Mum said as she kissed the top of my head.
"Bye! Love you all!" I waved good bye to them all as I left with Charlie. The car ride to the movie's was slightly awkward filled with lots of polite conversation starters. His mum asked me about my family, shocked at how big it was which isn't a reaction I normally get HA! After what felt like forever, thanks to my nerves, we finally reached the movies.
"Here is some money for the movies and a bit for food. I have a shift at the hospital so I can't pick you up so you will have to walk home, don't worry Rebecca it's not far. Your dad will be home shortly after you should get there." Charlie's mum explained to us
"I know the drill mum"
"Okay, okay. I know when I am not wanted. See you you two. Have fun!" and with that me and Charlie jumped out the car and headed towards the movie theatre. He was such a gentle man and brought my ticket for me and a large popcorn for us to share. We were a tad early so we sat in the theatre waiting for the movie to start.
"I didn't know your mum worked at the hospital"
"Yeah, she is a nurse there."
"Wonder if my dad knows her"
"Yeah..." Things were now becoming awkward as we sat there in silence.
"School sucks at the moment"
"Sure does" Well this was just getting more and more awkward by the second. Luckily the movie started. We decided to see X-Men first class as Charlie wanted to see it and growing up with lots of boys meant that I didn't mind those kinds of movies. Not that it mattered what movie we saw any way, as it turns out. The whole time I was concentrating on Charlie; there was no denying the electricity between us. As soon as the movie started he reached across to hold my hand. Soon after that he lifted up the arm rest of I could snuggle into him. Next he gave me a peck on the lips which satisfied him till just before the end of the movie; that's when we started making out. I was totally used to making out thanks to Jason so I knew what I was doing and by the looks of things Charlie had experience too; or just was a really good kisser. We finally got interrupted when the lights turned back on indicating that the movie was over. We pulled back away from each other, he smiled as he offered me his hand and with that we walked out of the theatre hand in hand. We stayed that way the whole walk back to his house. We talked about small things; still a tad awkward but nowhere near as close as the movie theatre until we reached a nice looking villa. He walked towards it indicating that it was his house.
"Anyone home?" Charlie shouted as we entered the silent house. "Guess it is just you and me for a while" shrugging it off. My heart started to speed up again; here I was alone with a boy in his house. Man I hope my family doesn't find out about this, they would kill me.
"Do you want to take a seat?" He asked as he motioned me to come join him on the couch.
"I would show you my room but my parents would kill me" He laughed as I sat next to him.
"So would mine" laughed with him.
"So do you have a big family?" there were toys all over the place so there must be children here.
"Well I always thought I did until I met your family." He smiled "But there are only five of us."
"I'm guessing younger" I gestured to all the toys.
"Yup! Well I have an older sister, she's a senior at school, then two younger sisters, six and nine, and finally a younger brother who is four."
"Do you like living in a big family?" Everyone I have became friends with are mostly only children or one or two other siblings; I was the one with the unnaturally large family.
"I like it most of the time but it's rare to have the house empty and quiet like this. And it sucks having more responsibility than most teen's; parents have to work a lot so my sister and I get stuck looking after the little ones" He explained to me. "I mean how do you find living in a big family?"
"Well I'm the youngest so I am the one getting looked after and being babied"
"Not much independence?"
"None what so ever! The only thing that I have done independently is go to England by myself. And everyone is very over protective"
"Yeah... I had a feeling that your brothers didn't really like me"
"Not you in general but more any guy in a one mile radius of me. Just count yourself lucky that they weren't there to send me off today"
"God yes! Why was that?"
"Well me and Edward got into a fight and they all ganged up on me so there punishment was they couldn't be there today but enough about my brothers" I gave him a flirty smile and lent into him suggesting I wanted to kiss; I didn't want to talk about my family anymore. Of course he wasn't apposed as he lent in further so our lips would touch.
We spent the next half an hour making out, which was pure bliss, until his dad arrived with some of his siblings causing us to jump apart. I quickly whipped my lips removing all evidence of us kissing. A tall girl with striking features walked towards me, with a small boy on her back.
"Hi, I'm Vivian; Charlie's older sister" she came over to introduce herself, the boy on her back started making a fuss "And this would be the young handsome... Dillan" The young boy stuck out his hand for me to shake.
"Nice you meet you Dillan" I said politely and shook his hand. I never have had much interaction with little kids so I didn't really know how to act. Charlie must have seen how nervous I was and told Dillan to go away, leaving us with Vivian.
"I'm off to pick up the girl's from ballet" Charlie's dad informed us as he ran out the door.
"He runs around a lot but you get used to it." Vivian told me then she turned to Charlie "Is mum at work or doing errands?"
"Work"
"Sweet, I shall start cooking tea then... sorry that means you are stuck entertaining Dillan" She gave me an apologetic smile as Dillan ran and jumped onto Charlie; Charlie tackled him to the ground and started tickling him as he erupted into a fit of laughter. And with that Vivian left us.
"Sorry about this. You haven't been around kids much have you?" Charlie asked me.
"Na, been an only child when I grew up and then preteens got added to the mix" Giving him a weak smile.
"Haha well they are real easy to get along with, they love everything and anything!" it was rather cute how Charlie interacted with his little brother; Dillan looked at him like he was the best thing in the world. I sat next to them while they wrestled and started playing with some of the blocks. Next thing I know a tiny person is sitting quietly beside me watching me intensely. I looked up at Charlie to know what to do next; he just nudged his head towards Dillan, indicating I should talk to him.
"What should I make?" I asked Dillan.
"Umm an AIRPLANE!" He shouted as he jumped up in excitement and pretended to be one. He ran around the room then jumped onto my back.
"FLY!" he shouted. I had no idea what to do so I did the only thing I really could do; fly. I got up onto my feet and started to run everywhere making sounds as I went. I was getting tired so I decided to stop in style, I bumped into Charlie and pretended to crash; we were out of control going in all sorts of directions until we crashed onto the couch. I knew I had done the right thing because Dillan was in a fit of laughter. Charlie came into give me a quick kiss on the checks but I pulled him on top of me and gave a new depth to the kiss; Dillan thought it was some sort of game and climbed up on top of us causing us to fall off the couch.
Luckily he did though; as we were trying to untangle out limbs, Charlie's dad returned with two small ballerinas.
"I'm back... what happened to you guys?" He asked as he picked up the giggly Dillan.
"We were playing aeroplane's" I said with a giggle; I haven't acted like a child in a long time, not that our last little act was anything but innocent.
"Well I'm glad you are all getting on so well. This is Molly and Aggie" He pointed out as the small girl's hid from me behind his legs. "I'll go relieve Vivian from cooking duty, Charlie can you play with these two as well?"
Charlie just gave him a death stare; obviously he didn't want to be on sibling duty.
"I will take that as a yes" He said then went to the kitchen.
"Have fun at ballet?" He asked them as he tried to do some moves, maybe a Demi Detourné (Half turn with both feet). The girls just laughed at him and tried to correct him but he was a lost cause.
"Did you know that Becca here went to England to study Ballet?" The girls' eyes light up like it was Christmas morning.
"Really?" Aggie, the younger one asked.
"Sure did, studied for a whole year."
"Do you think you could practise some Ballet with us?" Molly quietly asked; she was shy but I could see how much she wanted to do Ballet with me.
"Of course!"
"Can you do turn's?" Aggie asked as she jumped up and down.
"Well this is my cue to leave, me and Dillan will go help dad and Viv for a bit" Charlie told me as he kissed me on the check which resulted in a outbreak of giggles from the girls.
"Leave..." Aggie yelled at him as he pushed him out
"Let's go to the dinner room, they have wooden floors" Molly told me as she showed me to the room.
"Now turn!" Aggie yelled. I did a simple Fouetté; I peaked up on my right foot, left leg out in a bent position then a swung my leg around my body causing me to turn then pulled my leg into me allowing me to complete the pull circle as I land back in first position. I did this a couple of more turns without landing so Aggie was impressed then stopped in fifth position. Aggie and Molly just stared at me with their mouths open in ore. "Can you please teach me that?" Molly asked after about a minute of silence "And me?" Aggie piped up as well. "I'll do my best" I smiled at them; Aggie won't be able to pick it up quite yet but Molly has this determination about her that tells me that she might just get it. "Now we need to start in first position," They knew instantly how to stand as they snapped right into position and held their posture very nicely "Now we pop up on to our toes and in the same movement stick out our leg bent" I couldn't be bothered with the technical words. This is when I lost Aggie. She didn't have the balance skills to do this but she didn't care she started twirling all over the room wrapped in her own world. Molly however could do it easy. "Now wrap our leg around you and let your body follow and as you wrap your wrap your leg and in the same movement bring your arms from second to first position" I said as I demonstrated in slow motion how to do it. The next part is the most difficult and needs the most balance work. Molly tried and tried as I continued to do it slowly next her. "Pretend there is a string in your head pulling you up; tummy in, back up straight" I told her "Now up" She did what she was told. I took her leg and guided it how it should go; Molly was losing her balance so was clinging onto me as did so but she didn't want to say anything. "And when you get some motion you bring your leg back to your knee bent and when you feel you are losing speed you stick your leg out again" I tried to explain to her "And you know how to spot?" "Yup!" Molly replied "Good, because spotting is crucial" So we tried and tried for the next half an hour; Aggie got bored so I kept on doing different moves for her all the while keeping an eye on Molly and how she was doing. She was starting to get when we were interrupted with people starting to bring food in ready for tea. I was secretly happy to stop; I was getting quite tired and wanted to hang out with Charlie some more. "Wow, that is impressive." Vivian commented as I finished an Fouetté en tournant (lots of Fouetté at once). "I can do that too!" Aggie piped up and she spun in circles. "Look at you, you little ballerina" Charlie's dad commented as he put the meat loaf down. He picked Aggie up and started to spin around with her; the time she couldn't stop laughing. "Ok, Ok, everyone to the table." He said when he finally stopped. You could hear the pitter patter of tiny feet as Dillan sprinted into the room closely followed by Charlie. He took my hand as he led me to a seat next to him. The meal was spent telling children to eat properly, apparently food is not for throwing, everyone quizzing me about my life wanting to know me better and more telling the children how to behave. I loved it. I have never had a dinner like this; felt like a true family dinner, a human family. I mean boarding hostel was all human's but never had much a family feel to it. We had all finished desert and were talking around the table when Charlie's mum arrived from work, with my dad. My heart sunk knowing that I was going to have to go home. The sound of their mum's muffled voice made Dillan and Aggie jump out of their seat and run to the door. I heard my dad's velvet laugh as he saw them greet her. "Becca your dad is her" Charlie's mum called out. I got out of my seat and dragged myself to the door as Charlie followed. "I remember when I was once greeted like that, oh so long ago now" Dad joked to Charlie's mum "hello Becca, did you have a nice time?" he asked as he turned his attention to me. "Very nice time. Thank you very much for having me today" I told Charlie's mum "I'm sure it has been a pleasure having you here. Well I'll see you round work Carlisle" Charlie's mum said "Bye" "Sure will. Good Bye" Dad replied as he started walking towards the car. I think he was expecting me to follow as he turned round when he didn't hear foot steps behind him. I wanted to say good bye to Charlie in private so I nudged my head in the direction of the car hoping he would grant me this one wish. He must have been in a good mode as he reluctantly continued walking to the car. "So I have had a really good time with you today" I smiled at Charlie. "So did I. I'm sorry you had to put up with my family though" "I didn't mind" "So... I'll see you on Monday then." "Yup, I'll be there" And then there was silence, I just stood there waiting to see if Charlie would make a move. And he did. He planted a kiss on my lips and held in there for a couple of seconds which felt like eternity. "Ok, Bye" He said as he ran inside properly scared of my dad. The thought of my dad seeing me kiss made me turn a scarlet red. This was not going to be a fun car ride back home, I can tell you that.I'm sorry if the Ballet description's are hard to follow or wrong; I tried my best to describe it =) And I have a big assignment due soon and not sure what the next chapter will be about so might be a bit of a wait for the next chapter but I will do my best!
Please Review!
