Chapter 7: Hysterical laughing and Water Fights
Emmett POV
Wow Rose is HOT! I know I say that a lot but it seems every time I see her she just gets even more perfect! Jasper is all googly eyes at Alice the pixie and I know that deep down Edward likes Bella too. Well maybe really, really deep down. Either way I saw how he was staring at her, and even though he denies it now I'll bet with a little bit of "pixie" magic they'll be together in no time. ;P
We pull out of the parking lot in front of the girls. Jasper is looking at the map and helping Edward with directions, Edward, of course, is driving and I'm sitting in the back of the Volvo thinking about Rosalie. I wonder if she'd go out with me.
"Hey Edward? Jasper?"
"Ya" they answer.
"Do you think if I asked out rose she'd say yes?" Jasper smiles and nods.
"Of course dude. She's definitely into you" Edward looks at me like I'm crazy.
"You do know that Rosalie and Alice for that matter Jasper are girls that, only yesterday, hated our guts. And not only that but we thought that it was funny that they hated us. I mean we were like rivals. And now you want to ask out one of these girls?! And I'll bet that you want to ask out Alice too, eh Jasper?" Jasper mumbled something unintelligible.
"Well ya," I retorted, "But it's different now. We know what the girls are really like. And don't pretend that you don't feel something for Bella. I saw you staring at her, making googly eyes. I thought I was going to be sick. It was almost as bad as Mr. Googly eyes himself over here" I say pointing towards Jasper with my thumb. Jasper grins at me and Edward glares. I just smile at the both of them. It's fun to be me.
We drive for a bit longer then stop for a quick lunch at a Timmies. The girls' Porsche pulls in behind us. Alice rolls down her window and Jasper rolls down his.
"We'll meet you inside" Alice calls. I can hear Rosalie laughing as Bella groans. I grin as Jasper nods. Edward just glares ahead. I reach around the seat and pat his shoulder.
"Aw cheer up Eddie! You get to see your girlfriend Bella!" He smacks away my hand and grumbles,
"She's not my girlfriend" I laugh. This was going to be fun. I was so teaming up with Alice. We park and then head inside. The girls are waiting for us inside the door. I look at Edward then I look at Bella. They were both scowling. Oh yes this is definitely going to be fun.
Bella POV
Edward is SO obnoxious! And now Alice and Rosalie are making me eat lunch with him! Well it's not just him, Emmett, Jasper, Rose and Alice will be there too but I can barely stand to be in the same room as the guy! At least I have the satisfaction of knowing that he dislikes me too. Maybe once they see how much we hate each other they'll let us be. We order at the Timmies and pay for our food. We go and sit down at a table for e go and sit down at a table for 6. Rose is beside Emmett and is flirting with him, Alice is with Jasper and they're making googly-eyes at each other Puke! , And I. Of course, am stuck beside Edward. We angle our chairs as far away from each other as possible and eat our food in silence.
Around me my friends talked and goofed off. I actually liked Emmett and Jasper well enough. They were nice guys well Emmett could be a bit annoying sometimes but that's just who he was. And Rose and Alice really liked them; it was only Edward I had a problem with. He was such a jerk and an ass-hole. Once we were finished eating we threw away our garbage and headed out to the cars. We waved goodbye to the boys. Well I waved to Emmett and Jasper and pointedly ignored Edward.
Once we got back in the car Rose and Alice started gushing about Emmett and Jasper. I just smiled and nodded not really listening. Instead I was thinking of ways I could avoid Edward. My thoughts were interrupted by Alice poking me in the arm.
"What?!" I asked annoyed. Alice smiled her little devious pixie smile.
"So what's with you and Edward huh? You know I think you two would make a cute couple" I look at her thinking I think she's finally snapped. Rose snorted.
"Way to be subtle Alice" I glared at the two of them.
"Alright look. You guys can moon over Jasper and Emmett all you want. You can flirt with them and date them and make out with them if you want. But there is no way in hell that I am ever going to like Edward. Ever! So don't even think about trying to get us together! Edward hates me just as much as I hate him so leave us alone!!" Alice and Rose look shocked at my outburst for a second then Rosalie starts laughing.
"You... should...have...seen your face!" Rosalie says in between laughter. Alice starts to giggle. I grin but then I say,
"Please guys just leave us alone alright?" Rose and Alice nod grudgingly.
"Oh alright," Alice grumbles, "But I still think you guys would make a cute couple" She pouts and Rose and I start to laugh harder. Alice starts to laugh so hard the car swerves sharply to the right then as Alice corrects herself it swerves to the left.
"Alice!" Rosalie and I shout before we start laughing again. Alice pulls the car over to the side so we can laugh without her crashing the car and killing us. The guys, who were driving behind us, pull up behind us and get out of the car. The three of us are clutching each other in laughter. We don't really know what we're laughing about anymore but we just can't stop.
"Are you girls CRAZY!? You could have killed yourselves and us! What are you laughing at?" Emmett demands. We look up at the guys and see Emmett with a stern look on his, Jasper with a worried look on his face although we can see the humour in his eyes, and Edward just looks like he's wondering what planet we're from.
"Emmett!" Rosalie gasps, "Your face is so hilarious! I've never seen you so... serious!" We burst out into new peals of laughter. Emmett smiles briefly.
"What the hell is going on with you girls?" he asks. Alice speaks this time.
"Well, Bella got all mad and we laughed and I swerved and I pulled over and your faces!" She starts laughing hysterically again. Emmett starts to laugh as well and Jasper. Edward is trying not to laugh but in the end he succumbs to our awesomeness and chuckles.
Pretty soon we're all clutching onto each other and onto Alice's car and laughing. Edward and I stop laughing first and we smile watching our friends. Alice is hanging onto Jasper and Rosalie is leaning on Emmett.
"Wow" Edward says.
"Definitely" I say. I smile at him and he smiles back. And the crazy thing is that they're genuine. Oh my goodness. Am I seriously smiling at Edward?? My eyes widen in shock. Edward chuckles.
"Ya I'm shocked too. I'm surprised we're both still alive." I giggle. He grins and my heart skips a beat but I rule it off as just shock from having a somewhat normal moment with Edward Cullen.
Eventually our friends stop laughing. We look around smiling at each other.
"Well that was interesting" Jasper says. We all nod.
"We're insane" says Rosalie.
"And don't you forget it!" says Emmett. We all laugh. We say goodbye to the boys and get back into our separate cars, and I even say goodbye to Edward this time. I can see Emmett and Alice and Rose and Jasper smiling deviously out of the corner of my eye but I choose to ignore them as does Edward. We let the boys pass us this time and they drive ahead of us. Alice nudges me in the side with her pointy elbow.
"Hey! What was that for?!" She grins and giggles.
"Edward and Bella sitting in a tree! K-I-S-S-I-N-G!"
"Alice!" I say, "It's not like that! Besides we weren't even in a tree. We were in a car" I say smugly.
"Fine then," she says impishly, "Edward and Bella sitting in a Car! Are they naked yes they-"
"Alice!!"
Alice POV
While Bella fumes Rosalie and I laugh at her. She's so sensitive. It's just a joke... for now. Tee he. Bella and Edward were getting along for a second there...hmm...
I wonder what Edward thinks. I'll ask Jasper when we meet up later. While keeping my eyes on the road I yell back to Rose,
"Text Emmett and tell them to meet us at the Holiday Inn that's in Brington. It's only an hour or so from here"
"How did you even know about a place called Brington?" Bella asks.
"It's called a map. Hello!" I roll my eyes at her and she rolls her eyes back. Rose just rolls her eyes at the two of us and takes out her cell. A couple of seconds later she says,
"Alright, I just sent the text. I should get one back in a sec." And as she said a couple of moments later we here the ding of a text arriving.
"Hey babe, we'll see you guys there" Rosalie reads. I smirk.
"Babe?"
"Shut up" Rose scowls. I giggle. Rose and Emmet are so cute together. Almost as cute as I know Bella and Edward will be. I smile deviously at Bella. Bella must have seen it because she looks at me warily.
"What?" she asks.
"Nothing" I chime. Rosalie laughs. Bella just glares at me. We continue the drive just chatting about what we plan to do once we get to our destination. Rose wants to go to a car show, Bella wants to see a play and go to big bookstore or something and I, of course, want to go shopping! Bella groans. I give her a stern look.
"One day Bella you will love shopping, and you will thank me for introducing it to you"
"When pigs fly" she mutters.
"You know Bella you would look even more beautiful if you wore make-up" Rosalie says. She is the master at make-up. Together we are an awesome team. Bella has shop-a-phobia. Someday she'll join us.
Suddenly one of our favourite songs comes on the radio, you're gonna go far kid by Offspring. We start to sing along.
Show me how to lie
You're getting better all the time
And turning all against one
is an art thats hard to teach
Another clever word
sets off an unsuspecting herd
And as you step back into line
a mob jumps to their feet
Now dance, fucker, dance
man, he never had a chance
And no one even knew
It was really only you
And now you steal away
Take him out today
nice work you did
You're gonna go far, kid
With a thousand lies
And a good disguise
Hit em' right between the eyes
Hit em' right between the eyes
when you walk away,
nothing more to say.
see the lightning in your eyes
see em' running for their lives..
Awesome song! Once the song is over we start to laugh.
"We should definitely form an all girl band!" Rose laughs.
"Definitely!!" I shout. We high five.
We continue like that until we reach Brington. When we get to the hotel we see long enough" Emmett teases.
"Oh shut up Emmett" Rose says as she smacks him on the head.
"Ow!" We laugh.
"Hey Jasper" I say.
"Hey Alice" My heart starts to beat like crazy. I'm sure he can hear it. I get all flustered and smile shyly at him. He smiles back at me and I do something that I never actually do. I blush.
"Oh my goodness, Alice is blushing!" Bella exclaims, "I thought I was the only one of us that did that!"
"Shut up!" I yell, "I am not!"
"Are too!" Rosalie sings. I look down at my feet.
"It's alright Alice" Jasper says and he puts his arm around me. I blush even harder.
"I think it's cute" I almost die. He's SO cute! And nice! And his southern accent! Gosh I must look like a total idiot right now. Just beam me up! I smile up at him. Everyone laughs.
"Alright, alright, enough laughing at Alice's expense. Can we just check in please?"
"Alright, alright. Don't get your panties in a twist" Rose says. I glare at her. Emmett laughs.
"Let's go" Edward says. We head into the hotel. At the front desk the guys get one room and we get another. They are right beside each other.
"Come on let's get our bags, girls" I say. We head out to my car and grab our small carry-on bags. Just as we're closing the trunk the guys walk over.
"Ready?" Jasper asks.
"Yup!" I smile brightly.
"I'm glad it isn't raining this time" Bella remarks. We all laugh. We head back inside and head up to our rooms.
The rooms are beige with green striped wall paper running along the bottom half of the walls. The carpet was beige and the bedspreads were beige. Hmm am I sensing a theme here?
The girls and I put our bags on the floor and go over to the guys' room. We knock on the door and Emmett opens it.
"Well hello ladies long time no see eh?"
"Hi Emmett" Rosalie says alluringly.
"Um...well... ya," Emmett stumbles for words, I smirk, "come on in. We were thinking of going to dinner then going to the pool. You girls wanna come?"
"Sure" I say excitedly. I love swimming! Well I love sun tanning. Swimming is alright too though. Bella loves swimming. Rose is definitely more of the lay on the pool tan and soak up rays kind of person.
We all head down to the hotel dining room and get a table for 6. I order the chicken cordon bleu, Bella gets the lobster, Emmett and Edward get steaks and Jasper gets pasta. Rosalie is on a diet so she only gets a Greek salad. She really isn't like one of those anorexic girls that only eat a carrot a day or something but one rude bitch made a remark on her weight, which is perfectly normal and probably even less than normal, and Rose took it to heart. She mainly eats veggies and fruit now. At least she's eating three healthy meals a day.
Emmett of course starts to tease her with his steak. I can tell Rose wants it bad but she's really intent on staying on this diet. Emmett waves it around her face chanting "you know you want it! You know you want it!" Rosalie snarls at him and the rest of us laugh. Poor Emmett. Rose is definitely not a woman to mess with.
When we finish our food we head back up to our rooms to change into our swim suits. Rose is still fuming about the whole steak thing.
"You know Rose it wouldn't kill you to eat some steak or something every once in a while" Bella says. Rose turns to her and gives her the "Rose glare". As we've so lovingly called it. Bella doesn't even flinch. We've gotten pretty used to it by now.
"Just hurry up so we can go" Rosalie snaps. We stomps into the bathroom to change and once the door locks Bella and I start to giggle.
"Emmett is so gonna regret that" I say. Bella nods laughing.
Once we're all changes we knock on the wall that separates our's and the guys' room.
"We're ready to go!" I shout through the wall.
"Ok meet us in the hallway!" Jasper calls back. My heart thumps. We meet the boys in the hallway wearing our cover-ups and head down to the indoor pool.
Jasper POV
Once at the pool we guys take off our t-shirts and shoes and start to argue with each other who gets to jump off the diving board first. There's no one else at the pool so it's just the 6 of us. Because we're agreeing I don't hear Alice come up behind me.
"Ready to swim?" she says. I jump and turn around. Wow... Alice is wearing a orange and yellow polka dotted bikini. Damn! Stop staring Jasper just answer her!
"Ya sure" I reply, ripping my gaze from her and turning towards the pool. I'm just about to jump in when I feel tiny hand push me from behind. I tumble into the pool and come up spluttering.
"What the hell!" I shout. I hear laughter coming from behind me so I turn around and swim to the wall. What shocks me the most is not that I got pushed into the pool because Edward and Em I and are always goofing off, but that Alice is standing at the edge of the pool while Edward and Emmett are at the other side of the pool! Alice pushed me in! She just stands there giggling.
"Gotchya!" she says. I start at her stunned.
"You...but...how?!" I manage to say.
"I'm just awesome like that. And I'm stronger than I look"
"It's true!" Bella shouts from the other side of the pool. They are all laughing at us. Alice grins.
"You really should have been paying more attention" Oh I'll get you, you little pixie!
"Oh it's on" I say. And before Alice can run away I grab her arm and pull her in. Alice comes up spluttering like I had and turns to glare at me.
"Why you!" I turn and swim away.
"Come and get me!" I taunt, grinning. She smirks deviously and dives under the water so I can't see her. I look around in confusion. Emmett, Edward, Rose and Bella are just standing there watching, amused. Suddenly I feel a small hand clamp around my ankle in a vice like grip.
"Hey!-"But then I'm pulled under. I can see Alice's little feet and legs under the water. I pull on her leg and I pull her under me in an underwater summersault. We come up gasping for air and grinning like idiots.
"You're so going down!" Alice threatens.
"Are you sure?" I ask smirking. I push her up against the pool wall. She may be strong but I weigh more than she does so when I put all my weight against her she can't escape.
"Surrender!" I cry.
"Never!" Alice says trying to wriggle out of my grasp. I push against her to keep her pinned against the wall and I can't deny how my heart starts to beat like crazy and how my stomach starts to get all nervous when I'm close to her like this.
I look at her face and look into her eyes. She looks back at me unmoving. She's stopped fighting but I still have her pinned against the wall. My breathing hitches as she moves her face closer but then, of course, Emmett lets out a big wolf whistle and everyone else starts cheering and laughing. I sigh and turn to glare at them.
"Do you mind?!" I shout, annoyed that our moment was ruined.
"Not at all" Emmett replies cockily. "Cannonball!" And with that he jumps into the pool with a huge splash. I give a small laugh then turn back to Alice with a small smile. She returns it then, with the element of surprise on her side, pushes me away and pushes my head under the water. The fight begins again.
