Chapter 9 ~ The Fun Evening

Bella's POV

"Hurry up. Eat your dinner. We have to go to the game." I said in annoying voice.

I am waiting for the triplets to eat. We needed to go to the game. I actually wanted to go. I wanted to play with them. I don't know why I was so excited but I was. I wouldn't wait anymore.

"Mom chill. Just give us another 10 minutes." Kevin said in a disgust voice.

"Don't you talk to me like that." I said in a hard voice.

"Sorry." Kevin.

"Okay I'm ready to leave." Kim got up from the table and went to wash her dishes.

"Me to." Adam did the same as Kim.

Now we were waiting for Kevin. Kevin was the slowest eater in this family. Sometimes it got on my nerves. Finally he was done. He got up and washed his dishes. After he was done we walked to the garage. I drove since I was so excited. I was driving at 120 on a local road. We reached at the Cullen's house in no time.

"Hey." I said in a cheery voice as I enter the house.

Everyone turned to watch me. They all were shocked by my voice. I normally am not that cheery but today, I don't know what happened. Maybe because I realized that I love Edward so much that I can trust him. Oh well.

"Someone is cheery today." Emmett. I couldn't take the big grin off my face.

"Hey Bella, Kim, Adam and Kevin. What's wrong with Kevin?" Alice asked looking at his grimace face.

"Oh he is just a little mad about us making fun of him eating his dinner." Adam said with a chuckle. I had to laugh at that. With me the rest of them laughed as well except for Kevin.

"Kevin cheer up." Jasper told him.

"So where are we going to play the game?" Kim asked.

"It's a little far from Forks. You guys can follow our car." Edward answered.

I looked at him and saw that he was happy about something but what? Then he turned to face me and he smiled his crooked smile. I just stared at him. I was dazzled. I needed to look at something else really fast. So I smiled back at him and turned to Kim.

"Kim I'm still driving." I said.

"No, can I drive please?" Adam interrupted.

"No, me please?" Kim asked.

"None of you. I said I'm driving. That's the end of it." I said and their faces fell. I chuckled under my breath. I saw the others chuckling as well.

"When are we leaving?" I asked Alice.

"Now." She said while walking towards

"Hey wait let's have a car race." Emmett.

"Yeah I agree with that. Watch Bella beat you guys." Adam said in an excited voice.

"Who wants to bet?" Jasper asked. For the first time Kevin spoke.

"I bet on Bella." Kevin.

"I bet on Edward." Rosalie spoke for the first time the whole evening.

"Wait a minute not all of you will fit in Edward's car." I said.

"Carlisle and Esme are already there waiting for us. So don't worry. Edward takes the Volvo and I believe you take your jaguar." I nodded towards Alice.

"I still go with Bella." Adam

"Edward." Jasper, Emmett and Alice said at once.

"No ways. It has to be Bella." Kim

"We will see about that." Edward said in an amazing voice. I was fluttered. Why does he do that?

"This should be interesting." I said.

"Let's go to the cars." Alice said walking to the cars.

Everyone got into the cars. I was excited for this race. I knew that Edward drives very fast but I wasn't any worse.

"Ready?" Alice asked. Everyone nodded. "Set? And GO!!!!"

I pressed down on the race paddle and speeded away. In the beginning I was driving at 100 miles an hour. After I accelerated my speed up to 180 miles an hour. Both the cars were equal but we were winning by just few seconds. I saw there was a turn so I speeded up to 200 and when I reached the turn, I pressed down on my breaks and quickly did a drift. The car swing with so much grace. As soon as the turn was done, I accelerated harder. Edward was quite fast. He was keeping up. He was just beside me. There was another turn; I took the advantage of it. Then we were here. I won the race by one mille second.

"Yeah we won." Kim said in excitement while stepping out of the car.

"Nice job Bella." Adam gave me a high five.

"Good work Bells." Kevin gave me a hug.

"Wow Bella you drive fast." Emmett.

"Hey you were amazing." Jasper

"Wow." Rosalie

"OMG Bella you are the first person who beated Edward." Alice

"You changed. But good job. I'm impressed." Edward.

"umm… thanks… everyone." I answered everyone.

We all walked to where Carlisle and Esme were standing. It looked like all the bases were set. The field was same as it was thirty years before. Nothing much changed. This field reminded me of the first time I met Victoria, Laurent and James. I felt a shiver run down my spine. I immediately froze where I was. Thinking of the past made me shudder down in pieces.

Everyone kept walking no one noticed me until Edward looked around. Looking for me as usual. He turned around and saw me standing here with shock clearly written on my face. He was at my side at once. He looked straight in my eyes. He brought his hand to mine and squeezed it lightly. Then I unfroze. I looked back at him. He knew what I was thinking.

"It's okay. Come on. Let's go" I just nodded and started walking.

"Okay these are the teams. Emmett, Kim, Edward, Bella, and Alice are one team. Rosalie, Jasper, Kevin, Adam and myself are the other team. Esme is the referee. Agreed?" Carlisle asked. Everyone nodded.

"Can I say something?" I asked.

"Sure."

"There is no cheating. I'm indicating towards the triplets. They cheat a lot. They can change the balls position." Everyone chuckled.

The game started. It was so much fun. Both the teams were equal. Both of the teams had 7 points. The evening pasted so quickly. Everyone was making their way back to the Cullen's house.

"Kim you can drive. I'm going to make a run all the way back to the house. I need to run." I said tossing her the keys. She caught them.

"Okay." She said while walking towards to the car.

I turned towards the forest to start my run but was stopped by the beautiful velvet voice.

"Do you mind if I come along?" Edward asked.

"No of course not." I answered back softly. I started to run again.

It was quiet for a long time. Both of us were just running. It was hard to run with Edward at me side. I wanted to reach out and hold him but I stopped myself. After a while Edward pulled me to a stop. I turned around to look at him. I was curious.

"Bella I'm sorry. I didn't want to leave you. I left to protect to you. I always loved you and I always will. Please forgive me." He said in a sad voice staring deeply into my eyes.

"Edward I forgive you. I love you -" I was cut off. His eyes were happy that I still loved him. He quickly made his way to me and hugged me while kissing me as well but not on the lips. I was shocked and angry at the same time. I pushed him away.

"What?" He asked.

"I love you that doesn't mean you can kiss me. I can't trust you enough to start our relationship again. I need some time." I answered. He didn't say anything so I spoke again.

"We can be friends though." That cheered him up a little bit. He then hugged me tightly. I didn't hug him back.

"Umm…Edward…. Please… Could you stop?"

"Sorry." He stepped back and I could see the sadness in his eyes. I wanted to hug him back but I couldn't. He then spoke again, "Thank you so much Bella. I promise you I will have your trust back within days." I knew he would have my trust back. He already did but I didn't show it.

"Come on let's go"

The rest of the night was just as amazing as the evening passed. We kept on talking about things and getting to know each other better.

"Hey guys I have an amazing idea." Alice announced.

"What?" Emmett asked.

"How about all of you live with us over here? We do have extra rooms." Alice.

What no ways! That can't happen! I can't live with them! It will just make it that much harder to keep the secret from them. What do I do now? Adam answered Alice while I was thinking.

"Umm… We don't know it depends on Bella." Adam said looking at me.

"Umm… I don't know." I answered confused.

"Oh come on Bella. It would be so much fun. I know none of my family minds. Does anyone mind?" Alice asked her family.

"Of course not Alice. You guys are most welcome." Esme.

"Ahhh….. I guess it won't be a big problem." I said unsure.

"Yeah……" Alice

"When will you move in?" Rosalie asked. Before I could answer Alice answered.

"You guys are moving in on Saturday since we don't have school and you will have enough time to pack." Alice

"Isn't that too early?" Kevin

"Don't worry we will set up your rooms in no time." Alice assured.

"Okay I guess we will move in on Saturday." Adam. "And we better get going."

"Yeah I agree with him." I told them.

We then left the house.
