"So, uh, Edward?" Bella questioned, her voice kind of shy. I answered warily, fearing Bella's obsessive rants of her becoming a monstrous creature as I.
"Yes, Bella?" To me, my voice sounded wary, cautious. I wondered in the back of my mind if she noticed it.
"Well, I kind of have a favor to ask," Bella paused, unsure. I prompted her with a raised eyebrow. "See, I decided to take this photography class and, well, uh…"
"Yes, Bella?" I pressed again, breathing a slight sigh of relief. I watched her face carefully, regarding every reaction. Another part of my mind focused on driving, a second reaction.
"Could you, uh, be one of my models?" Bella again seemed unsure.
"Yah, I guess," I smiled, "What kind of poses do you want?"
"Umm, n-n-nude," Bella answered quietly. I thought I heard her clearly but, coming from her, well, let's just say the word astonishment came to mind.
"What?" My voice was amazed, a hard thing to do, one only Bella alone could do.
"Look! It's all Mike's idea! He told me I had to take pictures of n-nude people and he suggested I use 'good friends'!" I couldn't help but notice how she stumbled over that word. Apparently, she was just as appalled as I was. "He was very clear about what he wanted and, Edward, he even brought college into it.!"
"Calm down." My mind raced, thinking of a million thoughts at once. One detail I couldn't skip over, though. "Wait, I thought you weren't into college at this point."
"That's not the point!" Bella nearly shouted. I pulled into the school parking lot, sliding into a parking space easily. I took my time, even though I had already decided on an answer.
"Let me think on it." Bella began to reach for the handle to open the door. "And just for the record, you can take any nude pictures you want of me. Just keep them to yourself.
Lunch was a quiet affair, Bella probably trying to give me time to think. Still, I missed her chatter. She had been glancing at me and away all day, always blushing. Why would Mike Newton want nude pictures? There had to be a good reason for it. Then an idea struck, why not look into Newton himself? I grinned at Bella, startling her.
Mike was talking to Ben in a quiet, hushed voice. His thoughts revolved around his photography class. I frowned. Rosalie and Alice were at the top of his thoughts. I listened in to their conversations.
"I think I totally got Bella convinced," Mike was saying.
"Convinced? To do what?" Ben asked, not totally into the subject yet.
"4 words," Mike paused for effect. I sighed, he was always the dramatic one. "Pictures. Nude. Rosalie. Alice."
"What?!" Ben was definite into what Mike was saying now. "You mean Rosalie Hale and Alice Cullen?! Are you crazy man? How do you manage that?"
"Bella, and the best part is, I'm going to blow them up and put them all over my wall!" I had heard enough. An evil smile spread across my face. Bella noticed
"Do I want to know?" Bella asked, slightly nervous again.
"Umm," I hesitated, glancing around. "We need to get to class. I'll tell you later, promise."
"So, what was that all about? At lunch?" Bella questioned, always too curious for her own good.
"Mike wants pictures," I started off, "of Alice and Rose."
"What?!" Bella shouted. "That-"
"Hey, hey," I assured. "I have a plan."
We stepped into my house. When I spoke, I just called normally. "Rose, Emmett, Jasper, Alice, Carlisle? Can you come here?" It took only a few seconds for them to arrive.
"What's wrong, Edward?" Carlisle asked, serious.
"Don't tell me you got Bella pregnant?!" Emmett shouted. I glared.
"You know that is impossible! (apparently not! Lol) Anyway that's not what I want to say. Mike wants pictures," I spoke with a straight face, "of Alice and Rosalie nude."
