Chapter XIII: The Ultimate Prank
Omg, he was going to kiss me!
OMG OMG OMG OMG!
GAAAAAAH!
DAMN, He smelled so good!
I KNOW!
I bet his lips would've felt divine.
Ugh, stupid bell.
I KNOW!
I've been freaking out like this for the entirety of the day. I couldn't tell you what my classes were about because I was thinking about those gorgeous pink lips and fiery golden eyes.
It's later in the day now, and I'm going to lunch with those thoughts still circulating in my head.
I texted Angela earlier telling her about the almost kiss. Her reply was an "OMG B."
Yeah, girl, that's been my reaction all day.
Unfortunately, she had fallen ill with the flu and couldn't come to class today.
"Hey, Bella!" Alice's high-pitched voice calls me from the Cullen table.
The entire cafeteria stills into silence as if Alice Cullen just invited me into a threesome with her and Jasper.
I roll my eyes at their ridiculousness as I walk over to the Cullen table. "The show's over, you can go back to your gossiping," I yell.
Emmett's guffaw shakes them out of their stupor and the students begin to speak in hushed tone.
Alice pats the seat between her and Edward.
He looks delicious wearing a form fitting V-neck dark green t-shirt that shows a light dusting of bronze hair on his chest *swoon* and a pair of dark wash jeans with black Timberlands.
He's sex personified.
I gulp before I sit down.
Girl, snap out of it. Yes, I know he's fucking sex on legs. It still doesn't mean you have to be nervous around him. Be your confident self!
"Bella, I'd like to introduce you to everyone." She says, winking at me.
"This here is my boyfriend Jasper," she says with love in her eyes and a wide grin on her face.
"Hello, Bella," Jasper says with a drawl. It's very good to make your acquaintance."
"Likewise, Jasper," I reply.
Rosalie acts cold by simply giving a curt nod.
Emmett's all smiles and dimples as he greets me.
"And you already know my brother, Edward." Alice exclaims.
I look at Edward to see him glaring at his siblings. His expression is deadly, and frankly, scary.
I see that Emmett looks amused, Rosalie has a smug smile, Jasper looks slightly uncomfortable, while Alice is buzzing with excitement.
"What's going on?" I ask, looking from Edward to his siblings.
Emmett snickers, while the rest look quite pleased with themselves.
Ha! Guess the prank went well. Edward, sweetie, you haven't seen anything yet.
A wave of calm washes over us and everyone at the table relaxes.
Edward's still glaring at them though, so I touch his muscled forearm that's icy cold.
Like a corpse.
Edward shifts his gaze to me and his dark eyes slowly turn golden as his expression turns soft.
"My siblings played a prank on me," he grumbles, annoyed.
I laugh out loud with the rest of them as Edward scowls at all of us.
"Aw, don't be a spoil sport," I laugh, as I ruffle his wild mane. God, I always wanted to touch it. His hair feels so soft that I'm envious. My hair is rougher and not as silky to the touch.
Stupid Edward hair.
Edward gently grabs my wrist, halting my ruffling of his hair. This causes my sleeve to run up and expose a bit of ink.
I had removed the bandages two weeks ago and can honestly say that it looks badass.
Edward notices it, and his eyes brighten in surprise.
"May I?" he asks, touching the edge of the sleeve.
I nod, unable to speak when he's touching me so intimately.
Edward pulls the sleeve to my elbow, revealing the beautiful swan tattoo. A colored in red rose makes up the body of the swan, with the green leaves of the rose representing the wings. The graceful neck of the swan rises up from the rose, curving to form an 'S' shape.
"It's beautiful," Edward murmurs, his fingers barely ghosting over the shape of my tattoo.
I shiver at his touch.
"Wow, that's really pretty Honey B," Emmett compliments. "When did you get it? That's your family name, right?
"I got it a couple of weeks ago in Port Angeles. There's this tattoo shop called Marked. And yes to your other question," I say, not wanting to elaborate further, when at the same time Edward says, "Honey Bee?"
Is that a hint of jealousy I detect?
I look up to see him frowning at his brother as Emmett wiggles his eyebrows. Edward's lips crawl to display his teeth.
Isn't that a brilliant display of territory marking?
That's hot, girl.
Oh, so being a possessive ass, is hot?
He's not being an ass, he's just telling Emmett to back off. Besides, a possessive asshole is abusive, and Edward is definitely not abusive. He's just jealous and a tiny bit possessive and you know you love it! So suck it up honey.
Tiny bit? Seriously?
Ha! You didn't refute the loving it part!
Ugh, sometimes I hate you.
Of course you would, because honesty is a bitch, boo.
I love seeing him riled up, in the meantime, I think we should give him a break seeing as he will be furious on Friday.
See? I can be nice sometimes.
"Yeah, Emmett, what's with the nickname? I inquire.
"You look innocent like a bumblebee and sting like a wasp, hence Honey B. And your name starts with the letter B so it made perfect sense," he says, shrugging his shoulders.
I roll my eyes at his silly explanation.
Edward tells him. "Hmmm I see. Her sting can be painful, nevertheless, her sweetness is more than enough to overlook it." He ends on a teasing note.
I raise an eyebrow at him. "Oh! Is that so? What if my sweetness isn't enough to overlook my sting? What then, smartass?" I flip my hair.
Edward leans in slightly and says in a low sexy tone. "Even if your sweetness wasn't enough to overlook your sting, I would still be besotted by you."
Cue in the swooning, folks, because hotass just turned up the heat in this house!
A stupid smile forms and my face feels hot.
I hear a snort from the table and turn to see blondie rolling her eyes.
Before I can open my mouth, Alice says. "Edward's such a charmer, isn't he Bella? Enough flirting with the girl, Edward, I want to spend some time with Bella, too!"
No! We want Edward to flirt! We want to flirt back too!
I just laugh at Alice's pouty expression and surprise myself by giving her a hug. "Stop pouting, Alice."
When I let go of her, she sticks her tongue out at Edward.
Edward rolls his eyes at his sister's antics and just like that we are all laughing and joking together. But Edward and I couldn't stop covertly staring at each other. It was a really fun lunch. Well, for most of us anyway.
I couldn't help noticing that the entire time, none of the Cullens ate anything.
~E&I~
Today's the day that shit will go down on Edward Cullen.
The entire school is in the gym listening to Mr. Banner drone on and on in his monotonous voice about the biological side-effects of drug use.
When Mr. Banner finally ends his speech everyone claps politely. He walks back to his seat, frowning and looking dejected.
Guess he thought he'd have a more lively audience.
Dad stands from his place on the bleachers and makes his way to the center of the room.
Earlier this week, I helped him to prepare a short speech and two video presentations to give examples of what dad's speech was about.
Vengeance is mine!
Girl, you aren't Stewie Griffin.
Shut up! Bob deserves to be avenged!
Be quiet, dad's about to start.
Oh, right!
Dad walks over to the lectern and starts speaking. I take a look around and see that everyone seems to be giving him their attention. He starts the first video, which depicts kids at a party, drinking and laughing. One of the kids in the video offers the rest of them LSD and they all take it. Soon, everyone is acting like they are hallucinating.
Suddenly, the video switches to Edward's room. I hear Emmett trying to hold in his laughter and he is failing miserably. I sneak a glance over at Edward and he is staring at the monitor with an incredulous look on his face.
The camera is focused on his bedroom door, and a few seconds after the change from the party scene, you see the door open and Edward walk in. He stops in his tracks and looks around. He starts yelling his siblings' names and cursing, but nobody responds. He spins slowly in a circle, tugging at his hair. The look on his face is priceless.
"What the hell is going on? Where did my bed go? Where the *bleep* are my CDs?"
He turns around in a circle one more time when something out of camera range captures his attention and he looks up. The video switches to a different camera angle and you see the seemingly empty room.
Everyone in the gym is laughing. A few people have tears streaming down their faces and dad is struggling not to laugh along with them. His mustache is twitching like he has to sneeze and the rest of his face is turning red from the effort of holding in his laughter.
A deep, manly voice comes over the speakers saying, "This is a young man under the influence of LSD." The camera switches to a shot of Edward's room in its normal state. "His room is no different than it is at any other time, but this is what he sees."
The video switches to a shot of Edward's room, but all of the furniture is mounted to the ceiling. Off camera, you can hear Edward muttering to himself about how everything was gone but now it's on the ceiling and how did that happen? And where is everybody?
By now, my poker has fallen off and I'm laughing so hard no sound is coming out. I know my face is red and my abs are aching. The only other person who's in a similar state is Emmett. He's practically on the floor, roaring with laughter.
And that's when the idiot runs his big mouth. "Oh Honey B, this is epic!"
Edward's head whips around to where I'm sitting and his eyes narrow at me.
There are very few times in my life where I've had an "uh-oh" moment. Seeing Edward's fury directed at me is one of them.
Knowing I need to see this through, I get up and walk over to Edward with a smug smile on my face and rainbow glitter in hand. I drop the glitter over his head and whisper, "Now we're even," before turning and walking out the doors of the gym.
I laugh all the way to my locker to pick up my bag, hearing my laughter echo in the deserted hallway. I'm laughing so hard I don't hear the footsteps behind me. When I slam my locker closed, I'm shocked to see Edward standing there with a murderous expression on his face.
Damn, he looks so hot when he's mad.
I drop my bag to put my hands on my waist and give him my best bitch-brow in challenge. "What do you-"
Before I can even finish my question, Edward takes my face between his hands and kisses me hard.
His lips feel heavenly as he devours mine, then take turns to kiss first my top, then bottom lip separately.
I surprise myself by kissing back with equal fervor. His lips are cold and hard, but no one else's kiss has ever made me feel as warm as his does.
I raise my hands that are resting against my sides to his shoulders. He responds by growling, pulling me flush to him and deepening the kiss, making my toes curl.
As if he senses I can no longer breathe, he pulls away slightly, both of us gasping for air. His eyes have this beautiful shine and his mouth lifts into a grin as he lays his forehead against mine, still panting.
My heart is pounding and I'm slightly dizzy. I feel as if I'm burning.
A deep throat clearing snaps me back to the present.
I pull back to see my dad and a fairly good number of students are watching us. Dad's lip is twitching, other than that, I can't get a read on him. Emmett, Alice, and Jasper are smiling at me, whereas Rosalie looks enraged. The students, on the other hand, have their mouths open in shock. I can see Jessica and Lauren's jealous faces as they glare at me.
I look at Edward again, to see him gazing at me with so much passion that I cast my eyes away.
Dad walks over to me and asks in a low voice. "I'm going to Billy's, wanna tag along?"
I look from dad to Edward, then say, without tearing my gaze off of him, "I'll follow you in a few. See you there, okay? I want to stay."
He just hums, then walks away muttering something about young love.
