Previously in Chapter 4
"Yes Benjamin thank you", Carlisle said shaking his hand. "Well Bella", he turned to look at me, "lets get you situated. Alice, Rosalie, why don't you show Bella to the spare bedroom. Edward, Emmett, and Jasper, why don't we head to Benjamin's car and get her things out." The boys nodded and headed out the door.
"Come on Bella", Alice said yanking my hand, "lets go upstairs! Come on Rosalie!"
"Coming guys", Rosalie said walking over to us. I then walked upstairs into my new bedroom and began my life as a Cullen.
My new bedroom was nice…very nice. The cottage Sarah and I were living in, in London, was tiny. We both had tiny bedrooms. There was one bathroom and the kitchen wasn't very big at all. The living room pretty much took up most of our cottage. My new bedroom was seriously as big as that living room. I walked in a little further and noticed I had my own bathroom as well. I wouldn't be needing to "use it" or anything, but living for 200 years and sharing a bathroom was a pain in the ass. I looked back to see Alice discussing something with Rosalie.
"Yes, yes", Alice exclaimed, "Oh my god it will look perfect, I've already seen it! We should paint the walls purple. I think that the white comforter will look great on the bed and-", Alice stopped mid sentence and stared into space, I guess having another vision. "Oh Bella!" she yelled and looked at me with the biggest grin on her face. "Oh my god Bella wait till you see this chandelier were buying you for your room its to cute", she finished jumping up and down. Rosalie just laughed rolling her eyes.
"Hey, hey ladies", Emmett said walking into my room with two of my suitcases. He set them in the corner and looked at me. "So Bella, ready to show off your video game expertise", he said wiggling his eyebrows. Emmett just cracked me up.
"Yes Emmett, I would love to pound you into the ground in halo, but could you please give me a few minutes to settle in?" I asked.
"Sure Bella. Come on Rosalie. I'm going to need a little neck massage to get myself in gear if were going to do this. Lets go", he said dragging Rosalie out the door with him. She looked back at me shaking her head. As they were leaving, Jasper and Edward were entering with the rest of my bags.
"Well miss Bella, I think this about does it", Jasper said setting another one of my suitcases down. He then turned to me laughing. "Bella, you won't believe how freaked out Emmett is right now. He is scared to death of you beating him. None of us can ever beat him."
"Yeah Bella", Edward said laughing and setting down my last suitcase, "You should hear his thoughts. He is flipping out."
"He should be scared. If I were him I would be running for the hills", I said, chiming in on the laughter. Then it hit me. Alice. Alice would be able to tell me who won. "Alice don't you already know who is going to win this?"
"Hmm, it's hard to say. Like I said the future isn't as clear when you're in the picture, so it's a tough call. Were just going to have to wait and see!"
"This should be interesting", Jasper said, "Well, come on Alice. I really need to calm Emmett down before he goes crazy because if he goes crazy , then I will be going crazy as well. Let's go dear."
"Sure Jasper. We'll see you downstairs Bella", Alice said walking out the door with Jasper. Then I was alone with Edward. I looked at him, not really sure what to say. He stared at me with that beautiful crooked smile. He broke his gaze and looked at my suitcases.
"So", Edward began, "would you like me to help you unpack? I'll only unpack what you want me to. I'll stay away from your undergarments and what not." He looked back to me smirking. I just stood there for a second staring at him. Man! Why did he have this effect on me?
"Bella", he said snapping his fingers, "earth to Bella!"
"Oh!" I said blinking and shaking my head. "Um…sure. The faster I unpack, the faster I can kick Emmett's butt." Edward laughed.
"That's very true. So, why don't you show me what you would like me to unpack for you."
"Um", I was trying really hard to remember which suitcase that didn't have my intimate items. Then I figured it out. "That one", I pointed, "The blue one. It mostly just has stuff to put in the bathroom and a few other things. I don't think there are any clothes in that one."
"Ok Bella." He smiled once more and then turned to my blue suitcase and started unpacking. Both of our inhuman speeds were making this very easy and fast for us. Edward then stopped suddenly and looked up at me with a picture frame in his hand. "Is this Sarah?" He looked at me cocking his eyebrow.
"Yep, that's her."
"Oh dear", he said laughing and shaking his head, "I cant believe it. I mean, I suspected it, but I still can't believe it."
"What in the world are you talking about Edward?" He stopped looking at the picture and then looked at me.
"Sarah has been trying to, I guess you could say 'get with me', since the first day I stepped in Volterra fifty years ago. She is quite a character isn't she?"
"Wait you know her?" I was shocked. Sarah has never once mentioned any Edward to me.
"Yes, I know her. The first time I ever stepped foot in Volterra, she was all over me… 'flirting' or whatever you want to call it. Whenever I go back there, she is there, trying to work her magic on me." He started laughing even harder now. This surprised me. Guys usually crawled on their hands and knees just for Sarah to look in their direction. Sarah was amazing looking…maybe more amazing looking then Rosalie. I suddenly felt like a lump was forming in my throat.
"Oh", I finally spoke up, "Well, that's surprising."
"What do you mean?" Edward asked, his laughter now fading.
"Well, Sarah usually isn't the one going after the guy. The guy is usually the one going after her." I turned back to my suitcase I was unpacking.
"Really, why is that?" I looked back at him, dumbfounded.
"Well…look at her! She is gorgeous. She is a goddess Edward! She could get any man she wants with her looks alone. She usually turns down guys left and right. She never chases after them, she waits for them to come after her. It just shocks the hell out of me that she has never mentioned you to me before because she usually discusses these kinds of things with me."
"Bella, please. She isn't that great looking", he said rolling his eyes.
"Yes she is Edward and you know it! Whenever I would go out in public with her to a club or wherever, no guys would ever pay attention to me. All eyes went directly towards her." I finished, looking down at my hands. I then felt like I wanted to cry. Sarah is my best friend, but I never realized how much her beauty bothered me until right now.
Edward sat the picture down and stared at it. "Sarah is good looking I guess", he stopped staring at it and looked up at me, "but she defiantly is not as beautiful as you." I picked my head up to look at Edward.
"Rea-a-ally?" I asked nervously.
"Yes, really." His eyes were smoldering into mine. I stared back into them for a few moments and then looked back down at my hands.
"No one has ever said I was beautiful", I said softly.
"Are you serious?" Edward asked walking towards me. "Your stunning. I know for sure if I was one of those guys in that club I would be all over you. You really don't see yourself very clearly, do you?" I looked back up at him. He was standing about a foot in front of me, looking into my eyes.
"No, I guess not", I said staring back.
"Well I guess I will just have to prove to you how beautiful you really are", he said smiling that amazing crooked smile at me. I smiled back and turned back to my suitcase.
"I guess you'll have to. But right now, I really need to get ready for battle. And by battle I mean the super-humans verse the covenant aliens." Edward then burst into laughter.
"I really do hope you beat him Bella. I would love nothing more then to make fun of Emmett for the next hundred years on how he got his butt kicked at halo on the first try by a half-human, half-vampire. Emmett is usually the one making fun of us all the time. So please Bella, win this for all of us." I then started laughing as well. I turned back around to him.
"Alright Edward, I'll give it my all. Let me put these shirts away and then we should go downstairs."
"Sounds good." I nodded and turned back to my suitcase and ran around my room, putting away my last few piece of clothing. After I was finished I turned back to Edward.
"You ready for this Bella?" He asked.
"Oh its game on Edward, he is going down!" Edward laughed.
"Alright then, lets do this!" He said, lifting his arm, gesturing a high five. I slapped his hand, laughing, and we both headed out of my room. As we were both walking down the stairs, I seriously heard battle music going off in my head. I never wanted to beat somebody so much in a video game in my life. We both walked into the living where everyone, with the exception of Carlisle, Esme and Benjamin, were sitting. I then sat on the couch next to Emmett. He turned to me, grinning, like the cherish cat.
"So", Emmett began, "you can still pull out if you want you know?"
"Emmett, shut up and give me the damn controller", I said in the most serious voice I could.
"Oh, its on now", he said returning the same serious tone. And we began. I seriously destroyed Emmett. I knew I was good at halo, but this was just pathetic. We decided on playing ten rounds. I won eight of them. When the tenth round ended, Emmett through his controller and put his head in his hands. I set my controller down quietly on the table in front of me and turned to look at Emmett. I heard Edward getting ready to burst into laughter in the back round. I turned around quickly to look at him. He was trying very hard to hold it back. I then turned to look at everyone else. They all had the same expression as Edward on their face. Everyone except Rosalie, who looked worried about what the next thing out of Emmett's mouth was going to be. After a few minutes of silence, Emmett finally picked his head up and looked at me smiling.
"Well Bella", he began, "looks like you were right. You really do have some sort of video game vampire power thing going on." Everyone finally broke into the fits of laughter they were trying to hold. Even Emmett started to crack up.
"I told you I was good Emmett, I warned you ahead of time", I said hugging him. He hugged me back, laughing harder. We let go and both looked back at the TV
"I have an idea!" Of course Alice had an idea. "Bella, you must be exhausted from your plane ride. Why don't we all just kick back and watch a movie. What do you think Bella?" I couldn't agree more.
"That sounds great Alice. What movie?" I asked
"Hmm…oh how about Pirates of the Caribbean?" I could hear groans coming from all the men in the room. "Oh come on you guys, Johnny Depp is awesome and by awesome I mean hot!" She then looked back to Jasper who had the funniest look on his face. "Oh Jasper you know your hotter then Johnny, but he is still great to look at. I'm going to get it and be right back!" She kissed Jasper on the cheek and ran off. And before I knew it, she popped in the DVD, and the movie began.
I'd seen this movie about a dozen times over, but it was still good. About thirty minutes into the movie, I looked around the room and saw Rosalie curled up in Emmett's arms, watching the movie. I then looked to see Alice, with her head on Jasper's shoulder and her arm wrapping around his stomach. I then looked at Edward, who was sitting in the big recliner to my right, watching the movie. He turned and caught me staring at him. He looked quickly at the happy couples, cuddled in each other's arms, and then looked at me and smiled. He got up and made his way over to the couch I was sitting on and sat down next to me. He looked at me with those beautiful golden eyes and smiled. He then put his arm around my shoulder and tucked me in towards his chest. I then felt the exhaustion take over me. So I closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep.
