Edward's pov
Even soaking wet she was still beautiful, her sent intensified by the rain, I was so thankful that I didn't have a problem with it. Around her I act like a human again, in good and bad ways.
She looked up at me through her wet hair, I reached up and brushed it away from her face and she smiled, I tucked the hair behind her ear and didn't take my hand away from her face. She spoke to me softly, "Edward?" she looked at me with those eyes, they just drew me in, I snaked my hand around the back of her head leaning forward slightly. I was about to close the gap when HONK HONK, everyone got home. I sighed; she had already turned towards her brother and friends, smiling widely.
I pinched the bridge of my nose exasperated when I saw Alice's smug smile, vampire speed I said "you have the worst timing you know that?" she thought back to me cheerily YEP that's why I don't play the drums. Bella looked at me oddly, not at all confused but frustrated almost. I tilted my head to the side silently asking her what was wrong, but before she could answer Alice quickly came over and stated jumping up and down, "oh Bella you just have to go shopping with me! It'll be so much fun I can see where going to be such good friends! Do you want to come see my room?"
Jasper put his hand on her shoulder calming her slightly; I don't know if it was with his powers or just his presence, "honey you don't need to overwhelm her all at once." He told her sweetly, she leaned her head back onto his chest calmed, "What ever you say Jazzy." She said looking up into his eyes. I looked over at Bella and she was smiling but the look in her eyes was hard to describe. She looked overall happy but there were hints of wanting and almost disappointment. I would give anything to know what she was thinking.
"Alright Alice I'll come up to your room in just a minute I need to wring my self out…again." She said with a joking tone before taking a step back and taking all her hair in her hands in a ponytail thing and spinning it around and around tightly. I laughed; she was literally wringing out her hair. I watched as Alice lead; actually more like dragged her up the stares, surprisingly she just laughed and said "SLOW DOWN YOU CRAZY ENERGIZER PIXY SCREW THE BUNNY! Damn girl you should join the track team." Alice stopped at the top of the stairs and turned around to look at Bella disgusted. "and where those awful uniforms? No thank you." Bella hit herself in the face as Alice once again stated dragging her, I watched until she was out of site.
Jasper turned to me laughing, "Edward man, you got it BAAADDDD!" And for Emmett's little sister! Your lucky you're a vampire, even then I'm not so sure he couldn't take you. I bit my lip in mock nervousness, before walking away. But then it hilt me like a ton of brinks, what if Emmett became a vampire? CRAP!

Bella's pov
The second I saw the evil grin on Alice's face I regretted not complaining about coming up here. "So Bella," She said as she walked over to me trying to look innocent. "I saw you and my brother." I looked at her quizzically, "it looked like you two were about to kiss." I shrugged trying not to think about it. She looked taken aback "did you not want to kiss him?" I thought for a moment before answering, "I'm not saying I wouldn't have liked it if we had but I'd rather we didn't it will only make things more awkward later."
"So you don't like Edward?" She said cocking her head to the side. "No, I do, I'm just realistic." I knew a guy as gorgeous and well liked as Edward would never consider actually dating me, he probably just thought I was low drama and semi-easy. "I know it would never lead to anything so I would rather just not."
She looked shocked "do you think Edward is just looking for a hook up?" I hated having this conversation. "Well..." I was cut off by a soft sounding but loud in volume voice, "Alice, come set the table please." She stood up, "that's my mom, come on." I covered my mouth and blushed embarrassed, "oh my god I totally forgot to introduce myself to your mom I feel so rude."
We quickly scurried out of her room and down the stairs, Alice much more gracefully than I. when just my luck I tripped on the last step, I braced my self for the hard impact that never came, instead strong arms wrapped around my waist. I looked up into my savior's topaz eyes. I smiled "thank you again Edward I owe you yet again. You're going to get tired of saving me one of these times and I'm going to be in serious trouble. " he smiled back while putting me back on my feet, "never." O walked away and turned around slightly to wave over my shoulder before following Alice into the kitchen.
A woman in a knee length dress and an apron was in the kitchen taking an apple pie out of the oven, I looked around confused; did I just step into a time warp? She looked up and smiled, "oh hi dear you must be Emmett's little sister, Charlie and he have told me so much about you, it's nice to finally meet you." I shook my head quickly before sticking my hand out for her to shake, "nice to meet you too mrs. Cullen." Sje smiled sweetly at me, "oh please dear call me Esme." I nodded, "Esme. I hope I don't insult you in saying I feel like I just stepped into the 1920's, you look like a mom strait out of Pleasantville and I mean that as a complement." She swatted her hand in a phish-posh, "thank you dear you're too kind."
"Thank you for allowing us over, you home is so beautiful, and your food smells amazing, I might have to ask for some recipes." I wasn't trying to butter her up just be truthful, I do need to be able to cook something for Dad and Em that wasn't fish. "Sure hon come over anytime and I'll show you how to make something although from what I've heard you won't need much help." My smiled widened, if I didn't love forks already I certainly was going to now, all these people are so nice. I almost forgot I only just met them.
