A/N ... I'm going away for a week on Saturday so I'm trying to get a couple of chapters uploaded before I head out. There was something else but I forget so what can you do?

I don't own Twilight, well I own the book, well I borrowed it off my mate and forgot to give it back, but I don't own the idea of Twilight, if I did I wouldn't have to write fan fictions! ^^

Chapter Six, Now can you grill me on this tomorrow please?

Bella's P.O.V

It was half six and we were all sat round the big dining table, eating and purposefully calling Edward Eddie. Watching him get all frustrated was just too funny!

"Hey can you pass me the tacos, Eddie." Asked Emmett, grinning like a fool.

"Sure thing, Emmie." I giggled as Emmett scowled and pouted.

"OK, ok. We'll stop."

"Oh I don't know, Emmie, I quite like the name Eddie."

"Oh really? Well then Bellie, you go right ahead." I huffed.

"Fine, I'll stop."

"Hey Bella? You got any surf comps coming up?" Asked Rosalie. I nodded.

"Yeah, I have a pretty big one coming up in a few months. I have a few smaller ones coming up too. In fact I best get a flight booked to Hawaii. And I should clear it all up with Charlie, I'll have to miss quite a bit of school. Ah well. Oh I'll be missing school for Mardi Gras too. Bam has thi8s big cross country trip planned. I'm a little scared if I'm honest. Thank God I can rule out the possibility of having to share a camper van with them. He never does something more than once."

"You're going to Mardi Gras?!" Asked Esme, shocked.

"Well, yeah. Bam and the guys will look after me." I shrugged and felt myself blush under their scrutiny.

"But won't there be a lot of alcohol and, well, flashing?" I blushed even more at the question.

"Yeah... But I won't drink and I defiantly won't be flashing anyone." If my face got any redder, I could be Rudolf's twin. That is not a good thing.

"Well good."

"Hey mom? Can I go with Bella to Mardi Gras?" Asked Emmett.

"We'll see." Replied Esme. I highly doubted he'd be allowed though, just by the look on Esme's face. I mouthed sorry and she just rolled her eyes smiling.

"So... Can you introduce me to Bam?" Asked Rose Eagerly. Alice nodded and started jumping up and down in her seat.

"Sure. I'm going to go visit him soon. He just fell off a roof, that means a hospital and THAT means wheelchair wars, seriously fun. No way am I missing out on that. You can come with if you want. I was going to set off on the Friday and get back late Sunday."

"That would be so cool. Thanks Bella."

"Don't thank me yet, you haven't been subjected to one of their, schemes."

We spent the rest of the night watching T.V and talking about our lives, well, the happy version where I wasn't attacked by a shark and didn't have an evil cow for a mother. At half past eight me and Edward decided to head back to mine.

We got there at five to nine as Edward didn't actually break any speed limits for fear of my father coming back from his shift. The house was in darkness and Charlie's cruiser wasn't in the driveway.

"Your dad isn't back yet. I should wait with you till he gets back."

"Ok, come on in." I fiddled with the lock and finally got it open, flicking the hall light on as I went. "You want a drink?"

"If you're having one." He grinned at me as I pulled out the large bottle of Pepsi and two glasses. A branch hit the side of the house lightly and I must have jumped ten feet into the air. Edward laughed at me.

"Scared of things that go bump in the night Bella?" I just growled at him.

"No, just trees." Ok, that sounded tougher in my head.

"Trees, Bella?"

"Yes trees now leave me alone and drink your Pepsi!" I huffed and passed him the glass with the can inside. I looked at the clock. Ten past nine.

"I'm sure he is just running a little late. It's not time to worry yet." His words reminded me of the classic book, To Kill A Mockingbird. I hadn't read that one in a while.

The phone rang, waking me from my thinking. I rushed to answer it and ran into the table, my bone bouncing off it with a crack. I ignored the pain and lifted the phone to my ear.

"Dad?" I asked.

"Hey Bella, are you ok? Is there someone with you?"

"Yeah, I'm fine dad. Edward dropped me off and you weren't home yet so he said he'd wait with me till you got here. What's going on dad?"

"Ok, I'm sorry Bella but I'm not going to be home for a while yet. We just found a drugs factory. It's going to take hours to finish all the paperwork. Do you, do you think Edward would mind staying with you till I get home? I'm sorry, I know you wanted to talk to me and you've only been here for a little while but it's not always like this. I swear."

"It's ok dad. We can talk later and I'll ask Edward." I put my hand over the receiver and asked Edward if he thought it would be ok if he stayed until my dad got home. He said he would and I relayed the answer to Charlie.

"Ok, well I could be a few hours so make sure Edward rings his folks. Bye Bells."

"Bye dad." We hung up and I told Edward to ring his parents.

"Hey mom. No I'm fine, Bella is too. I was just letting you know I could be a while, Charlie isn't home yet so I'm going to wait with Bella. So I'll see you a little later. Ok?"

"Thanks, see you later, love you." Edward hung up and passed the phone back to me.

"So... You want to watch a movie?" I asked, already getting some micro popcorn out. Charlie had stocked out the kitchen as soon as he knew I was coming.

"Sure. What you got?" I led him into the lounge where I had set up my DVD collection last night.

"Take your pick. I've seen them all and will watch most of them again." Edward nodded and made a B-line to the shelves.

I went back into the kitchen and got the pop corn, breathing in the enticing smell of butter and sugar. I poured it all into a big bowl and went back to the lounge.

"You picked something?" I asked, sitting down on the couch, bringing my legs up too.

"How about Pirates Of The Caribbean? The first one?" I nodded.

"Sounds good. Jonny Dep is just so good as a pirate." Edward laughed and sat next to me, pressing play on the remote.

Somewhere near the middle, the front door opened.

"Bells?" Called Charlie.

"In here dad!" I called back.

"Hey Bella, Edward." My dad nodded and smiled slightly to Edward.

"Chief Swan. I should probably get going now you're home. See you tomorrow Bella."

"Bye, Edward." I said, Charlie grunted in goodbye.

"I'm pretty tired Dad, will I see you in the morning?"

"I don't think so." He sighed. "This is going to take a long time to sort out I'm afraid." I nodded.

"Ok, well I'll see you tomorrow night then. Night Dad." I waved slightly and headed upstairs, thoughts of My new friends, one bronze haired model specifically.

Edward's P.O.V

As I drove home, I didn't feel the need to break the speed limit, that for one was strange, the other strange thing was the fact that I couldn't think of anything else but Bella. She was so unlike any other girl I had ever met. I honestly don't think she put on any kind of act and that was amazing, how she managed to be like she was. So confident and fearless. Simply amazing.

My phone started to ring and I slowed down a little more to answer it. I really didn't want to have to go to hospital because I had trouble concentrating and drove into a tree. Emmett would take the piss for years for that.

"Hey Alice."

"Hey bro, I thought I was the psychic one?" She said jokingly. Alice had always seemed to have a bit of a sixth sense on things. Never bet against her. We all learnt that the hard way.

"Yes, caller ID is a very mystical thing. Don't tell my secrets to Madam Futerez though, she's been after my tricks for years." Alice laughed down the phone.

"Are you heading home soon. Me and Jazz are tired and Esme and Carlisle have already gone to bed."

"Sorry Alice, you can go to bed, I'll be home in a few, I'm turning into the drive now."

"OK, well I might as well wait up for you now anyway. See ya in a minute."

"Yeah." I hung up and focused on not driving into the ditch at the side of the road.

I pulled into the garage and locked my baby behind me, sighing as I stroked it gently across the hood. Man I love my car.

"Edward!" Alice squealed as she ran to give me a hug. I laughed and hugged her back.

"Alice!"I imitated her and she pouted.

"So... Bella huh?" She smirked.

"I'm tired Alice, yes, she is amazing, yes I like her. Now can you grill me on this tomorrow please?" I pleaded, she sighed but nodded, letting go of me and walking into the house. I followed her and when I got to my room, fell down on my bed.

I kicked my shoes, socks and jeans off before throwing them over to the corner of my room, they were soon followed by my shirt. I glanced at my clock and saw it was gone twelve in the morning and I was so very tired. I was asleep in minutes.

A/N Yeah, a shorter chapter but a chapter none the less.

Love Sammy ^^

Xox.
