Tulips are better

Chapter 5

So there I was, sat at my laptop on facebook waiting for the girls to land, I told Alice to go on facebook as soon as they had connection and landed, she was looking oddly at me, but I told her about what happened,

"Yes Edward, I know. She told me everything from the talking to the kiss. This is why Rose and me are taking her away, see if we can do anything. And don't worry when we get connection, we'll be on okay?"

That was the only part I made sure Alice kept her word to, my sister keeping an eye on Bella, although I kept no promises on Rose to look out for Emmett, she told me to make sure he didn't do anything stupid.

Stupid thing to say this is Emmett!

But no longer had she told me that when we took them to the airport Emmett decided to sit on the read mill with all the suitcases and it took us forever to find out which flight he was heading to.

And right now, I was frustrated, they hadn't landed yet, no phone call, no texts, and I was becoming pissed at this,

"Ed, chill out, the girls are fine and you know how Alice reacts when she's landed, they have to check to the hotel, get dressed and go out again," Jasper replied, he was right, that pixie was too hyper to go to bed as soon as they land, I could feel for Bella, having to be dragged around in the night when she felt tired from flying.

"Emmett! Stop chewing on the cushion, it's just a film,"

"Yeah but look! Look how scary that shark is"

I laughed, he was so childish, we were watching finding nemo, and Emmett was a wuss for this, there was nothing to be scared of, it was a cartoon shark not like we were watching it 3D, which would have been twice as amusing."

I sighed, I decided to sit with them, my laptop still on facebook, there was no point updating, my mum would of thought I was going crazy, she had already sent a post saying how her sons are loosing it.

Esme: Edward love. Are you okay? You seem to be on edge a lot lately

Edward: I'm okay mum, just stressed from work, there's a lot going on at the moment

Esme: oh I know son, you'd be surprised how much Alice tells me and your farther when she's at work

I cursed Alice right there and then in my mind, so not to hurt Jasper

Edward: oh fantastic, so I assume you know everything?

Esme: correct. Alice told me how you have feelings for Bella and how confused she is right now about everything, this holiday should do her the world of good, when she comes back you should try talking to her again, just make sure she gets a say in it all, otherwise this will leave her wondering what to do next

Edward: thanks mum. Pass my love on dad too, and don't worry about me and Emmett, he's fine, although I don't think we should be taking him to the beach anytime soon.

"HAHA oh Edward, that's good." Jasper laughed as he read the comment I sent to my mum, Emmett tried to look over, but Jasper and me covered the laptop,

The less he knew about mum and me making jokes about him, the better. Although he may work it out when we go to see them in a few weeks, as it was coming up to December

"Edward, we going to mum and dad's soon?" I looked at Emmett before I decided to let him think of the answer himself

"Oh what a stupid thing I just said," he slapped his face, and I smiled,

"Speaking of seeing family, you coming with us Jasper?" I asked, only for the fact that he was with his parents last time, and we had to deal with Alice sulking that her Jasper wasn't there.

"As a matter of fact yes, Esme asked my parents to come too, so we'll be flying with you,"

"Damn right! I need to meet you dad! He sounds like a laugh!" Emmett boomed until he saw the shark again and then screamed,

I laughed

"Good, I presume Rose's family are making themselves appear too Em?" my brother nodded, both Rose's parents looked a lot like Rose herself, her mum was a little shorter then her daughter, but everything else was match for match almost, and Rose was like her dad inside, she was obsessed with sports and cars, heck Emmett could never go past a car shop with out having to take Rose with him and then watch her drool over the cars inside.

"Hey, what about Bella?"

"What about her?"

We both looked towards Emmett, he looked at us like we forgot all about her,

"Well, doesn't Bella come with us?" he asked, I shook my head

"Bella never comes to Christmas with us, to be honest, I never knew where she went for that, for all I knew she stayed in her apartment watching home alone and making Christmas dinner for one.

"Do any of us know what she actually does when we've gone back home?" I asked, neither of the guys knew at all, and I certainly didn't.

"But I presume she goes back to Forks. Remember her dad still lives there,"

I nodded, it seemed to make sense, but I didn't think she saw Charlie every year, last time she spoke to me, she didn't know if she would be going, as Charlie was with his old best friend's wife, she seemed to say she made quite an impression on her dad, which made me laugh a bit after she explained she was like his Sandy from Grease.

****

If I hear that laugh one more time, I think I may just take a chance and jump out my window

My head was hurting; not from drinking with the guys, but from the fact that it had been quiet with out Alice and Bella at work, instead I had to hear the sound of Jessica laugh at something stupid

"That's so cute in pink"

"She'll be the death of me I can see." I mumbled as I noticed something familiar in my office,

"Bella?"

I couldn't believe it, had it been two weeks already? How long had I been sleeping? I looked at her and she smiled, and as she spoke her voice sounded manly?

That's not Bella

"You're not Bella," I said out loud, waking up from what seemed to be falling asleep on my desk,

"Course not, I'm you're brother,"

oh here we go

"Can I help you then Em?"

"Yeah, Alice sent a message to Jasper an hour ago, they'll be meeting us at mum's next week,"

"Bella too?"

And that's when I noticed Emmett's head go towards his shoes

"Don't think so Edward, Alice didn't explain much to Jasper, she just said they were having fun and would meet us at mum's she didn't talk long so Bella must be okay."

"Don't worry about it Em, I just feel Bella is avoiding me at the moment, I should just keep my head high for now and not worry about it, and I take it we'll be taking my car to the house?"

"Fuck off am I going in your car, we're taking mine." Emmett beamed at me,

"Uh…how long are we staying there?"

"Till New years day, didn't mum tell you? She wanted us there for when we celebrate the New Year,"

Obviously not Emmett you stupid turkey.

****

I didn't ask many questions while we packed our clothes to go to my parents, Jasper kept asking us what would look good for him in front of Alice, and that's when I knew she had rubbed off on him; there goes one good straight guy.

Me and Emmett just laughed, saying not to worry, Alice would just like it if he would turn up in his boxers, she would be happy with that none the less. Jasper seemed to ignore the comment my brother passed on to him, as he came out wearing jeans and a black shirt with a red jumper over the top; had to be something Alice had given him when they were dating, never failed to surprise me, that pixie had got to all of us and I swear she has my spare key, or made one of each of our flats, as she has one to Emmett's, he seems to find new clothes in there all the time, says it's the clothes fairy, although we have tried to tell him it's Alice, he wont believe us.

"Edward you ready?" I heard Jasper call from the front room, I sighed, packing my laptop in the bag as well as the clothes I would need, and underwear, our mum had a thing where she would hate it when it was after crimbo and me and my brother would sit on the sofa with our Christmas underwear on, even dad joins in, so we made sure to tell Jasper to join as well, just as it was…our man tradition.

"Yeah Jasp, I'm coming now. Did Alice say when the girls would get there?"

"Yeah about two hours after us I think? She said how the planes were being stupid, and then left sulking."

"That's our Alice."

Mum has to stop going over the top at this time of the year, for god sake there's lights everywhere, does she think we'd get lost?

I could tell Emmett felt the same as we pulled up on the gravel in front of the house, I looked behind me to Jasper who was in awe, he had never really been to the house before, and so he was amazed as to how it looked.

"I hope you're mum isn't anything like Alice." he mumbled I laughed

"She has her moments, but she's not bad,"

Before we even got to knock on the door Esme ran towards us, hugging each of us, including Jasper, who was a little shocked,

"Hello Jasper, I've heard about you from Alice, and you seem to be a very charming man."

I could feel Jasper had a lot of respect for her, as he smiled and thanked her,

"Come on then boys, I presume you're not hungry as of yet as I know what Emmett is like," she turned to face him, he was towering over her, she looked up at him and didn't even feel intimidated, Esme never had, she loved her sons and daughter like nothing on earth and fun with us, there was something there that made Jasper feel welcomed as my mum and him got on well, Alice would be so happy.

"Mum, is dad upstairs?" I knew what Emmett was getting at, it meant if he was, he would be the first to go see him and then they would go to the games room to watch TV.

My mum smiled and in a flash he was up there shouting across the landing to dad, who did the same back and embraced in a hug.

I wish Bella was here to feel this, god knows if Alice and Rose asked to come

We were then welcomed by Jasper's parents, Esme greeted them and told how her husband was upstairs watching a game if Jasper's dad would like to go up there as well, I swear I saw a shine in Jasper's dad's eyes as he looked at his son and then smiled

"I'm sure that would be nice, care to follow me Jasper?"

I looked at him and smiled, I had met his parents once or twice, they were friendly people and I knew they just loved Alice, she defiantly kept him on his toes. I said hello to his mother, then took Jasper and his dad to the games room where I met my dad and brother in there watching the game.

Christmas shall be good this year

About another two hours later, we were met with screams, all four of us men looked out from the door to see the girls had made it, there was Rose and Alice with Rose's parents and then I saw someone else there, hitting Alice as she said hello to my mum,

"Looks like Bella did come after all." I looked at Jasper

"You knew this?" he nodded

Well hello Santa, you did a good job of filling my stocking this year
