Chapter 12: A Sleepover (Part 2)

The boys share a look that pretty much says: really?

"Yes really. Shut up. We're sleeping in tents if you guys like it or not!" I yell, stomping outside.

JACOB'S POV

When I walk outside to a very angry Bella, I can't help myself, and burst out laughing. She's sitting in the middle of a bunch of parts for a tent, scratching her head, and looking at the directions. "I'm sorry. Do you want some help with that?" I say, still afraid I might burst with laughter again.

"Oh go ahead and laugh away. Just know that whatever this turns out to be, you're sleeping in it tonight." She's so cute when she's sassy.

"Here, I'll put it together. You can go over in the shed to get some firewood," I say, kneeling down near the tents. They were really easy to put together. But when it comes to Bella, and building things, it's like Quil, and making food. The result may be hazardous.

By the time Bella comes back with the wood, I was able to get both of the tents set up. "WOAH! HOW DID YOU DO THAT?!" She screams, pointing, and admiring my work.

"I just… put it together Bells. It's not that hard…"

"Ok, what is it with all of the screaming out here!" Embry comes dashing out of the house with a Wii remote in his hand and stops short at the sight of the tents. "Aw shit. I thought you were kidding!"

"Nope. You're sleeping in one of these tents whether you like it or not!"

"Do you seriously think you could stop us?" Quil asks, coming up next to Embry. Both of them cross their arms at the exact same time, looking down at the form of tiny little Bella

"No, probably not. But you're still staying out here."

"What makes you say that?"

"It depends. What do you guys want?" Oh god. She did NOT just ask that question! Quil an Embry share a look, and look back at Bella.

"A kiss," They say in unison, puckering their lips.

"Ok. Jake, you pack up the tents, and we're gonna sleep inside," She says, walking inside the house. Quil and Embry burst out into laughter, and they help me pack up the tents. By the time we get inside Bella's wearing the outfit she wore the other night. Grey sweatpants and a bright orange tank top. God, I just wanted to… anyways, she put in the movie Scream.

"Uh, Bells? Do you really think that's a good idea? This is a lot scarier than Paranormal Activities…" But then again, I really didn't mind having her being even more scared. I sat down next to her and put my arms around her shoulders. Quil waggled his eyes at me. Good thing Bella was too interested in the movie, and she didn't see it.

When THAT movie was over, Bella was looking back and forth, and could probably stay awake for a few days now. Me, Quil, and Embry, on the other hand, were about to fall asleep. "NONONONONONONO! You can't sleep yet!" Bella screams when she sees all of our eyes closed. She pounces on all of us and stands in the middle of the room.

"Bella, it's three in the morning," Embry drowsily says, rubbing his eyes.

Bella was hyperventilating now. "You're POINT?!"

I get up and pull her face towards mine until she looks at me. "Bells, there's nothing evil in this house, and there's not a psycho killer about to come in either. I promise." She was trembling now, not sure if she was going to believe me.

"Yeah, Bella, anyways, do you not have faith in us to stop him?" Quil put his hand to his heart in mock offense.

"Fine. But if someone does come in here and murder us all in our sleep, I get to tell you 'I told you so' when we're all in heaven. Wait, sorry, I'll yell it over to Hell from Heaven to you guys," she says the last sentence with a smirk and sits back down on the couch. Quil and Embry were too tired to even back sass Bella's remark. I wrap her in my arms as she closes her eyes and curls into my side. This is how I fall asleep; being engulfed in the scent that is Bella Swan, in my own personal version of Heaven.

BELLA'S POV

When I wake up, there's light streaming through the windows, and I'm lying on a very warm chest. Quil and Embry are passed out in blankets on the floor, and Jake and I are snuggled up on the couch. I look up at his face. He looks so much younger, more like the Jake that I knew for the past year. I didn't know if I should get up, or stay in my position and let one of the wolves on the floor risk seeing this. I chose to stay in position. I really didn't care anymore. I stayed like that for a while, running my fingers in paths on Jakes chest before I heard, and felt, his stomach growl. I laugh and get up.

I make exactly what I did yesterday, except this time I made a lot more. "Bella, can you make waffles?" I drowsy voice asked from the couch. I swear, the sexiest thing ever, is a boy's sleepy voice.

"How about you? I'm already juggling all of this. It's the least you could do for me," I say to him while pouring coffee into mugs.

"But, I'm too lazy," He protests from the couch.

"Then no waffles for you," I shrug.

"Bella, you're just really mean when it comes to food," a second drowsy voice comes from the floor.

"Well, Quil, when you want to start helping, you can just let me know. It's ready if you guys want to get up."

"Ooo!" Three very large boys jump up and run for the table to find it empty.

"Hey, there's 'gullible' written on the ceiling if you didn't know," I say, choking back laughter.

"You are the evilest woman I have ever met in my life," Embry says. They talk about how evil I am while I finish up, and then we're all at the table eating. Something tells me that I should be awkward surrounded by a bunch of boys only wearing boxers, but I really didn't care. I could never think of the more as friends. Quil and Embry, I mean...

"Ok, so what are we doing today?" I ask when they're finally done.

"Uh… OOO PICK ME!" Quil shouts.

"Hmmm. Quil," I say.

"Let's go on a road trip to Michigan!"

"….Why?" Embry asks him, clearly as confused as me.

"So than we can go to Erebus!"

"OMG! YESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYES!" Quil and Embry are pretty much dancing around the house screaming yes.

"SHUT UP!" I finally scream in their faces. They stagger back from the power in my voice, and then laugh when they see the tiny body that the power came from. "What is Erebus?" I ask, getting fed up with their shit-eating grins.

"Oh, Bella, it's only like, one of the biggest haunted houses ever!" Embry says in that I-know-everything tone, and pats my head.

"You guys are seriously thinking of taking her there?! Are you insane?! She practically shit her pants watching a horror movie last night, and you think that now you should take her to a haunted house?!" Jacob screams in their faces. "Hey!" I protest swatting his shoulder. They all didn't pay attention.

"Oh come on, Jake. Ever since your little crush with Bella started, you haven't been fun."

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"Dude. Wolf-mind, remember? Bella, do you, or do you not think that Jakey over here has a crush on you?" Quil asks, getting a death glare from Jacob.

"…Do I have to answer this question?"

"Yes," Embry butts in.

"…..Do I have to answer it honestly?"I ask, making a face.

"YES!" Quil shouts, getting fed up with my questions that were supposed to be answers.

"Then yes," I say, somehow able to hold in my blush.

"See? Even she thinks so," Embry whispers in Jake's ear. Jake slaps his face in return. "Owwww! Dude, I'm just stating facts here!"

"Facts that are untrue!" Jacob says back.

"Excuse me, untrue? You imprinted on me, and I know some things that you don't that will be all explained at the bonfire tonight," I say, flipping my hair and walking to the couch to flop down on top of it.

"Tonight?" Jacob asks. I can see a happy glint in his eyes that he's trying hard to conceal.

"Yeah, if everyone can make it," I shrug, like it's no big deal, but really, it's enough to last a lifetime.

Jacob is practically bouncing off of the walls with delight, and Quil is smiling like he knows something I don't. Then again, he always has the evil smirk on his face. Embry just couldn't get one fact out of his head. "So… we're not going to Erebus?"

Yay! Another long chapter! Ok everyone, Erebus is a real haunted house located in Michigan, only open around October. Just to clear that up. I've been there and it's so scary! Anyways, review please! I'll love you forever if you do! XOXO
