Chapter 17 Sometimes

BPOV

As I waved good bye to my parents I did so with a heavy heart, this would be the first thanksgiving that I would not be spending with them. But on the other side of the coin I could not help but feel excited. I was going to spend a whole week with Edward yeah his parents and family would be there too but from basically breakfast to dinner we would be together no work or school to get in the way. Edward would be by to pick me when he got off of work I had talked Mike into giving me Saturday off so we were leaving tomorrow bright and early at six am so I was going to spend the night in his guest room so that we could leave for the airport.

I had my bags pack so I had nothing to do but think about the conversation with my parents.

"No way Bella. There is no way you're going to spend a week with that boy."

"Dad his whole family will be there and like I said we're just friends…."

"Stop it Bella. Stop with the just friends thing"

"Dad I can honestly tell you that up until this point Edward has not asked me to be his girlfriend."

"Charlie dear Edward is a good guy, besides this way Bella isn't going to be alone for the holiday. I think it's a good idea sweetie" my mom said to me.

'KNOCK KNOCK' I was interrupted from my musings by Edward!

"Edward Hi!" I said with a grin on my face.

"Hey Irish you ready"

"Yup just this suitcase and my pack" I said

He gave me a look and said "That's it?"

"Yeah that's all. Why?"

"Nothing it's just Alice never goes anywhere without at least two bags twice the size of this one"

"We're only going to me gone a week"

"Yeah we usually only take weekend trips."

"Wow" he put my bag in the trunk of his car and opened the door for me.

When we got to his house he put his bag in the trunk "This way all we have to do is leave in the morning and not worry about putting the bags in" he said with a smile.

After dinner we had an early night because we had to be at the airport around four am.

C~C~C~C~C~C~C~C~C~C~C~C~C~C~C~C~C~C~C~C~C~C~C~C~C~C~C~C~C~C~C~C~C~C~C~C~C~C

"Bella…" I felt someone shake me awake "hey sweetheart we're here"

"Wha… Oh ok I'm up" I said shaking the sleep from my brain.

We were in first class, now there was a huge fight between the two of us. He had been the one who bought the tickets with the intent that I would pay him back, with first class tickets at nine hundred plus each way there was no way I was going to be able to pay him back soon.

"You don't have to pay me back Bella you're doing me a huge favor Alice called to warn me that Lauren is going to be there" he said with a look of disgust on his face

"Who's Lauren?" I asked

"Ugg you'll find out when we get there" he said effectively changing the subject.

But anyways because we were in first class we got to get off first it was great!

"So who's coming to pick us up?" I asked after we had claimed our bags

"Emmett."

I blushed.

"And there he is…"

"BELLA" I heard a bellow and suddenly I was lifted off the ground and twirled.

"Careful Em" Edward said

"Hello Emmett." I said with a smile.

He put me down and enveloped Edward in a hug "Welcome home brother".

When we finally made it outside I was hit by a blast of cold air. "Burr" I said and huddled in to Edward.

"Oh yeah here you go Bella, Alice sent it." Emmett said and handed me a coat I put it on with a sigh of appreciation.

It fit perfectly I guess Alice and I are about the same size. We loaded up into Emmett's Jeep and set off towards Forks.

Forks is a tiny town with only two traffic lights two hours away from Seattle and forty-five minutes from the closet "big city" Port Angeles I fell in love. Everything was so green. It was raining I lowered the window for a bit and smelled the rain I let out a sigh of pleasure. I heard Edward chuckle my face went red.

We drove straight though town and kept going Edward sensing my confusion said "We live on the outskirts of town."

"Ahh"

Suddenly it seemed like Emmett turned right into the forest the road was very well hidden. We pulled up in front of a huge house Emmett was getting the luggage out and Edward is helping me out of the car when I was attacked by black haired child squealing "Bella Bella Bella I'm so glad you're here we are going to be the best of friends"

"Ah Edward who's this child who's trying to climb me like a monkey"

"That's no child that's my twin sister Alice" I heard him chuckle

I got a sinking feeling in my stomach that the coat was not Alice's.

EPOV

I couldn't help but laugh at the look on Bella's face when Alice ran out and hugged the life out of her.

After Emmett and I peeled Alice off of Bella we made our way inside "Where's everyone else?"

"Dad got called in, mom and Jasper are in the kitchen and Rose and Lauren went shopping in Sequim"

"I'm surprised that you aren't shopping too Alice" I said

"Yeah well she really wanted to meet your girlfriend real bad" Emmett chimed in. He put our bags down at the foot of the stairs.

"Punk" Alice said and punched his arm we all laughed including Bella

"You guys are just like us" she whispered to me looking more relaxed.

"What did you expect?" I whispered back

"I don't know you seem bigger than life almost like you're not human"

"That's silly Bella come meet my mom and Jasper"

I pulled her in to the kitchen and introduced her to mom and Jasper at least they acted normal.

Or so I thought "Edward since both the guest rooms are being used by Lauren and her parents, they will be here sometime tonight, you and Bella can share your old room" my mom said with a sly smile on her face.

Bella blushed and grabbed my arm she whispered "Edward"

"Shh it's ok"

I put our bags in my room. She wondered around my room she stopped in front of my CD rack "Wow there's more here than at your place in Phoenix"

"Yup"

"Sooooo….Just so you know I am so not sharing a bed with you."

I chuckled "I know Bella I'll let my mom know but it would be safer if everyone else to think that we are sharing a room"

"Safer?"

"Yeah from Emmett and others" I said thinking of Lauren. I shuddered.

"So how are we pulling this off?"

"Well when it's time to go to bed we will come in here for a bit until everyone is asleep then I'll take a blanket and pillow and take my sleepy self downstairs to the living room. And be back up here before anyone else wakes up."

"Hmm sounds like a plan. Okay. What are we going to do now? Does your mom need help in the kitchen?"

"No Jas and mom are cooking it's their thing. I don't know about you but I could use a nap"

"A nap?"

"Yeah." I grabbed a pillow and the comforter off the bed threw them on the floor. "You can have the bed" I said with a wink

She blushed, but laid down and closed her eyes.

I passed out soon after.
