"Edward"
I shot up out of bed ready to put a pillow over her face god would she just go to sleep already.
"Yes Bella?" I asked staring down at her through my clenched teeth. She reached her soft little hand up to cup my cheek. My heart melted into her big brown eyes.
"I love you Edward." And then she rolled over to face away from me.
"I love you too Bella." I lay back down and wrapped my arm around her waist pulling her close to me and we drifted off to sleep
BPOV
It was so comfy and warm. My head was throbbing but my body was content and happy. I snuggled into the warmth and felt a thump thump thump against my cheek. I slowly opened my eyes and saw a nipple. I slowly sat up careful of my growing headache and looked down at my pillow. It was definitely not a pillow. I was a chest, a male chest, Edward's hard chest. Yet somehow it was soft and comfortable to sleep on. The thump thump thump must have been his heart. I looked up at his sleeping face and it was breathtaking. He looked so peaceful. I felt his arm tighten around my back and pull me closer.
I was now back where I started as his other arm came up from resting on the bed to encircle me. He rolled over a bit and nuzzled his face into my hair. His breath tickled against my neck.
"Mmmmm." He grumbled as he squeezed me tighter and closer to him.
Edward rolled over a little more and now I was half way under him. He lifted his left leg up and wrapped it around my body pulling me closer. I was trapped. He wasn't putting his weight on me I was just trapped in his arms and his leg. It felt nice. I felt safe and secure and loved. Oh god LOVED. Everything came crashing back down on me. The dancing, the drinking, the more drinking, the make-out session on the dance floor, the dry humping and then the mind blowing orgasm I got from Edward's boxer covered erect penis grinding into my naked folds.
I remembered puking oh god I can't believe I did that. I felt my cheeks burn with embarrassment as I replayed everything over in my head. He took care of me. He bathed me. He brushed my hair. I glanced over at Edward who was still asleep. I love him. The thought echoed in my head as I remembered everything we said last night and the drunken questions I asked before going to sleep. I felt my heart swell in my chest as I recalled the words he spoke to me.
"I love you too Bella."
I told him that I love him and he said it back. I knew that he had feelings for me but I never could have imagined that he would say them let alone admit them to anyone not even himself. Would we still go on our date? Did we still need to or would we just live happily ever after?
I heard someone coming up the steps and immediately pretended to be asleep. I did not want to deal with the wrath of Alice or Jake or god forbid Emmett's teasing when whoever it was found us cuddled in bed together.
"There you are." Alice said as she bounced into the room. I could hear her little feet dancing along.
"Bella wake up we have to get a move on you need to go to the gym with Emmett." She was shaking my arm down trying to wake me up. I tried to ignore her.
"Mmmmmm go away Alice." Edward mumbled from against my neck.
"No Edward I need her to get up if she is going to strengthen her leg you can't have her all the time you know she is MY friend and MY roommate not yours." Alice said as she tugged on the covers.
"Alice just give us a few minutes we'll be down soon." Edward replied squeezing me tighter and kissing my neck.
I was still pretending to be asleep. I felt the covers jerk from my body.
"No Edward I need her to get up now. Come on Bella WAKE UP." With that I had to get up there was no way I could pretend to be asleep after that loud whiney scream.
I rubbed my eyes and held my head because of the pain her voice had caused. I needed an Advil. I assume this is what a hangover feels like.
"I'm up please stop yelling my head is throbbing." I said through a groggy voice.
"Oh ok good I'll get you some coffee and Advil meet me downstairs in 5 minutes you hear me 5 minutes Bella and Edward I do hope that you used a condom." Alice said as she danced out of the room.
Edward untangled our bodies carefully and got out of the bed. I still hadn't opened my eyes again. I was afraid of the look on his face. I didn't know if he was upset about what happened last night or if he regretted it. I slowly sat up and held my head still to keep it from spinning as I opened my eyes. Edward was standing on the other side of the room holding some of our dirty clothes and towels.
"We didn't need a condom nothing happened." He said in a rush. His face looked panic and scared.
"Oh ok" I said. Nothing happened huh. Well I most certainly would consider what happened last night SOMETHING.
I slowly got out of bed and walked to the bathroom where I found my toothbrush and proceeded with my mourning routine. When I came out of the bathroom I expected to find Edward there so we could talk about last night but he was gone and the bed sheets were gone along with the pillow cases. I looked around the room and there was not trace that we had been here last night. He removed everything. Was he trying to erase what happened last night? Did he want to take back his I love you also? My heart was aching now from pain and my head was pounding harder.
"It's been 7 minutes Bella come on." Alice whined from the doorway.
I let out a sigh and followed her downstairs after I took the Advil she offered and started to drink my coffee. I went to my room to change into a pair of shorts and a t-shirt. I grabbed my sneakers and my leg cream. As we were walking down to the main floor Alice went over everything we had to get done today.
"When you get back from the gym with Emmett we need to make sure the clothes fit and make the alterations then we are going shopping for accessories and props for the video. We need to practice the song for the girls and then practice the dancing. So please please pretty please can you be a good Bella Barbie today?" She looked up at me with those puppy dog eyes and pouty lip.
"Alright Alice but only for you." I replied.
She hugged me goodbye as she dragged Jasper out the door with a list of things she needed him to do. Rosalie was leaving for work and would be back later. Edward was nowhere to be found and Emmett was in the kitchen eating breakfast with Jake. I settled on the couch and put on my ankle socks and was about to put on my cream on my leg when Jake came in the room.
"Hey I see you survived the night." He said laughing at me as he plopped on the sofa to my right.
"Yeah barely. I am never going to drink that much again ever." I replied.
"Sorry for abandoning you but I was exhausted and you wouldn't shut the fuck up." He smiled at me and nudged my arm. "Here let me do that just sit back and relax I'm sure your head is pounding." Jake took my cream and sat on the floor.
His hands were strong and firm on my leg. It felt good. My leg was feeling much better after the few days of exercise and the cream was helping also. I leaned back resting my head on the sofa and closed my eyes.
"Thanks Jake." I said.
I drifted off to think about last night and the orgasm I had with Edward. I replayed every second and every detail in my head. I felt sad when I realized that we hadn't kissed in my room or in the bathroom or on the 3rd floor bedroom. Not even after we said I love you which he probably now regretted. I sighed to myself as I thought about how last night could have gone different if I hadn't drunk so much. Maybe it wouldn't have happened at all if I hadn't drunk though. The endless possibilities were driving me crazy. I needed to talk to him to find out what he was thinking. We just both needed to sit down face to face SOBER and lay all of our cards on the table. Get our feelings out there and find out what we were going to do about it. I sighed in frustration and opened my eyes.
I looked around the room and saw him. He was sitting in the recliner dressed in a t-shirt and cargo shorts with flip-flops. He set his coffee down and his face was rigid. His eyebrows were crinkled in anger and he was glaring at me. What did I do to cause this kind of a reaction from him? Not 20 minutes ago we were cuddled together holding one another and now he was scowling at me like I was a piece of shit on the bottom of his shoe. Well that was it. Forget him. I was not going to say anything about last night. Not if he was going to be like this. Stupid arrogant uptight prick.
"Jake can you pass me my shoes I need to get to the gym with Emmett?" I asked lifting my leg from his grasp.
Jake squeezed my leg one last time and passed me my shoes. I quickly threw them on and went to go find Emmett. Maybe he would teach me how to punch the little bag in the corner so I could picture stupid green eyes and knock him in his nose.
"Em you ready go yet?" I asked as I set my coffee mug in the sink. I would leave it for Edward to wash.
"Yeah hold on kiddo let me just run to the can ." He set his mug and plate in the sink and disappeared into the living room and up the stairs.
I got my purse from the dining room table and walked back into the living room to find Edward and Jake in a hushed heated conversation. Edward looked livid and Jake looked kind of amused. They both stopped when I walked in. Edward still looked pissed off and I just huffed and flipped my hair over shoulder and walked past them to head outside. I was waiting by Emmett's jeep when Jake came out with a grin on his face. I guess he was coming with us. Emmett soon followed and we piled into the jeep and headed to work out. I hope Edward was having a fun morning doing all the dishes.
EPOV
Mmmmm she smelled delicious. I nuzzled into her neck inhaling her sent. I woke up throughout the night when she would slip out of my arms and I pulled her closer and went back to sleep. I rolled over a bit and tucked my leg over hers to pull her closer. I wanted to burry myself inside of her and disappear forever. This was heaven. I had never woken up feeling like this. Not even after a night of wild intense sex. This was something completely different. This was how I wanted to spend every morning. I was going to spend the entire day like this. No doubt she had a hangover and we would just sleep all day just like this. I let my mind drift to last night and what we said. The love confession tugged at my heart as I thought of the new life I was going to have. The happy life. A happy life filled with sweet moments like these, just Bella and I. Then I heard my sister. ALICE I screamed in my head as I heard her trying to wake Bella up.
"Bella wake up we have to get a move on you need to go to the gym with Emmett." She was trying to ruin my life.
"Mmmmmm go away Alice." I mumbled from against my perfect sleeping spot.
"No Edward I need her to get up if she is going to strengthen her leg you can't have her all the time you know she is MY friend and MY roommate not yours." Alice said as she tugged on the covers.
"Alice just give us a few minutes we'll be down soon." I promised while I squeezed Bella tighter and began kissing her neck.
Bella was still asleep and I wanted to wake her up my own special way but then Alice yanked the covers off of us. What if we had been naked hmmm? I wonder if my sister wanted to see my erect dick pressing into her best friend. Alice has absolutely no regards for other people's privacy. Everything is about her.
"No Edward I need her to get up now. Come on Bella WAKE UP." With that loud screech Bella woke up.
"I'm up please stop yelling my head is throbbing." Bella said through a groggy voice.
"Oh ok good I'll get you some coffee and Advil meet me downstairs in 5 minutes you hear me 5 minutes Bella and Edward I do hope that you used a condom." Alice said as she danced out of the room.
Oh god why did she have to say something about a condom or sex? I didn't even know if Bella remembered last night let alone regretted it if she did remember it. Leave it to Alice to ruin everything. My heart was racing as I tried to picture all of the different reactions and outcomes just that one comment could have.
I untangled our bodies carefully and got out of the bed. She still hadn't opened her eyes. I was afraid to see her eyes. What if they were filled with confusion or worse regret. I didn't know if she was upset about what happened last night or if she regretted it. She slowly sat up and held her head still. She was definitely hung over by the way her face was squished up in pain. Aww my poor baby. I wanted to reach out to her and comfort her. I decided to give her some space and room to wake up. I know how a hangover can be and talking is not the first thing you want to do. So I started cleaning up our clothes and the towels.
"We didn't need a condom nothing happened." I said in a rush. I wanted to get that cleared away as soon as possible. I didn't want her thinking I took advantage of her I love her I would never do that.
"Oh ok" She said. Yup she was definitely in pain.
She got up and went to the bathroom. I left her to get ready and headed to the laundry room and then to my room to change for the day. As I was getting ready I thought about last night and how badly I wanted her. I have never wanted someone so much in my life. My groin was aching as I thought about the predicament I found myself in last night with an almost naked Bella. I was definitely proud of myself for stopping and not taking advantage of the situation. I was already starting to change.
My heart swelled and my face grew into a grin as I headed downstairs thinking of the better man I was becoming just by being in love with her. She was saving me from my miserable lonely loveless life. I reached the bottom step and saw HIM with his paws all over her leg.
Bella was seated on the sofa with her head tilted back and eyes closed. Her face was relaxed and she had a smile on her lips. She was enjoying what he was doing to her. I felt my face tense up and I stormed into the kitchen to get some coffee. When I sat down in the recliner after ignoring Emmett in the kitchen I glared at them. Jake had a smug smirk on his face as his grubby paws massaged her tiny little pale leg. He was rubbing the cream into her leg and kneading her flesh in circles. The worst thing came from her mouth as his hands were on her. She let out an erotic moan / sigh as she sat up and opened her eyes.
My heart plummeted to the floor as I saw the look on her face. She looked just like she had after her orgasm last night. The thought of him getting that reaction out of her was driving me crazy. My blood was boiling and I wanted to leap across the room and rip his arms off.
"Jake can you pass me my shoes I need to get to the gym with Emmett?" she said as she lifted her leg from his grasp.
Jake handed her shoes to her and she put them on. I was still glaring at him while I sipped my coffee. Bella got up and stormed into the kitchen. I took this opportunity to have a talk with Jake.
"Jake we NEED to talk." I said as approached him. He stood up and met me in the middle of the room.
"What about?" He asked with a stupid grin on his face. He knew damn well what about. BELLA
"What's going on with you two? I mean seriously what EXACTLY is going on between the two of you?" I asked sternly
"We're friends BEST friends. We tell each other EVERYTHING. We share EVERYTHING." He said chuckling to himself and glancing at the doorway.
"Are you in love with her?" I figured it was good to get right to the point. I needed to get this all cleared up right away.
"Of course I am what do you think I'm stupid or something." Jake said it like it was the most common thing to say.
Like it was common knowledge and I should have known all along. I wonder if Bella knew. Just as I was about to ask him if they had done anything physical and if so what and when and where and how long ago she walked back into the living room glaring at us both. I glared at her because she had the worst timing ever and Jake still had his stupid grin plastered on his too white teeth and dark lips. I stared at his lips and wondered if they had ever touched her skin. Or her lips or if he had the pleasure of tasting her nectar. I had too many questions that needed answers. Bella flipped her hair and ignored us as she left the house and went outside.
"Alright we're getting this over with now. Are you and her together or have you ever been anything more than friends I mean with BOTH of you knowing about it?" There I asked my question and his grin faded and he looked sad.
"No. Fine is that what you want to hear. She is my best friend and I have been in love with her for years well like maybe months." Jake stepped away from me and sat on the couch. "She doesn't know how I feel and I'm not going to tell her. She is in love with you. That's all she talks about even when she was with Mike. How much she wanted you to change and how she just knew that you and her would end up together. I don't like it but it's what she wants. So I hope you're happy now but you better treat her right and change the way you treat women or you 're going to lose her. And mark my words Cullen I'll be right there waiting."
Jake got up and left the house. Emmett came into the living room with half a bagel in his mouth.
"Hey Ed can you take care of the dishes in there I didn't have time to do them. We'll be back in a few hours try and straighten up the place will ya? ladies live here too." Emmett messed up my hair even more with his huge sausage fingers and left out of the door after grabbing his keys.
I was now alone in this huge house with dishes to do, just great. I looked around the house and took inventory of things. It looked ok to me. I went to the kitchen and did the dishes. It wasn't that much. I straightened up the living room as best I could and then I went to my room. I glanced around and decided that I was going to wash my sheets. They smelled like Jake yuck. As I was bundling them up and grabbing pillow cases I stared at my now naked bed.
I remembered something Bella had said a few months ago.
"Edward I can't sleep in THAT bed with you after knowing what goes on under those covers. I am sorry and I know you are upset but I'll do anything else but I can't be in that bed with you."
The words repeated in my mind. 'THAT bed' was there something wrong with my bed? Then I looked at it and a flood of memories washed over my mind. Naked bodies thrusting and moans of passion. I saw countless nights of meaningless sex. I saw dozens of faceless naked bodies in countless positions sprawled out on my bed. My throat tightened and I felt my lungs gasping for air. I dropped the sheets and fell to the floor. I was now on all fours on my knees heaving heavily trying to catch my breath. I tried to scream out for help but there was no sound. It wouldn't do any good because no one was here but me. I didn't have anyone that wasn't obligated by blood to care about me. Alice, Emmett my parents they all loved me and wanted the best for me. Rosalie and Japers were there simply because of my siblings. I didn't have anyone who was simply there because they loved me and just me alone. My chest tightened and my heart started to pound in my chest.
I let my body crumple to the floor to rest on the filthy sheets. I lay there for an immeasurable about of time before it hit me like a ton of bricks on my chest. I had to fix my life. It didn't matter that I told her I loved her. It didn't matter that she loved me. All that mattered was what I was going to do to change my way of life and what I was going to do to prove to her that I was worthy of her love. I knew I wasn't worthy of it at least not yet. But still she loved me.
I had to fix my life. I jumped up finally being able to breath and gathered up my linens all of them from the house even the linen closet. Every sheet, pillow case or blanket that has ever touched my bed was gone. I put them all into trash bags that lined the living room. I grabbed my keys and jumped in my car. I had to get to the store right away I needed to make sure I could get everything done by tonight before I went to bed.

The workout was good for me. I got a lot of my frustration out. I kept thinking of Edward and how things had gone this morning. I was mad at him but I couldn't stay mad. I loved him and he told me he loved me and I just knew he had to. I knew deep down that he loved me and one way or another we were going to sit down and talk and figure this whole thing out. Jake was being kind of weird today while him and Emmett worked out. I felt like a little pee next to the two of them. They were both huge and muscular. Not like Edward; He had muscles and he was tall and lean. I thought back to last night how our bodies fit together like a jigsaw puzzle. Not like when Jake and I cuddled. There were always muscles in the way and I could never get fully comfortable. I missed him even though for whatever reason he was mad at me. I didn't care I just wanted to be near him.
Emmett, Jake and I went out to lunch after the work out. It was fun hanging out with them. They are hilarious together. They are so much alike. Now I see why I got along with Emmett right away he is my other Jake. We joked around and laughed at stupid stuff. I felt like a carefree kid again. I wanted to get back to the house and shower and change before I talked to Edward. I had a plan. I was going to trap him in his room or any room I would corner him in and force him to talk to me. Even if I had to strip naked to get his attention I would do it. I had no WE had to talk things out and find out where we were.
We got back to the house and it was almost 3pm. There were trash bags on the porch and a moving truck outside. My heart started to pound and I felt a lump start to grow in my throat.
"What's with all this stuff?" Emmett asked as he unlocked the door.
"Hey look there is a bunch of plastic and shopping bags over here." Jake said as he entered the living room.
He was right there was a large pile of clear plastic and empty shopping bags from Bed Bath and Beyond thrown all over the living room. I heard footsteps running up stairs and I saw Edward dash through the house carrying a bunch of blankets and then in a flash he was up the stairs. Emmett, Jake and I all looked at each other in confusion. Emmett shrugged his shoulders and plopped on the couch. He turned on the Xbox and plugged in his Xbox Live headphones and handed a controller to Jake. Jake of course took it eagerly and sat next to Emmett.
Edward came running back down the stairs and through the house down more stairs to the basement. I quickly made my way over to the recliner to settle in to watch the show. I didn't know what was going on but I could wait to talk to him until he was done whatever he was doing. A few minutes later he came running through the house again with sheets this time. What on earth was he doing? He hadn't even acknowledged us yet. I wonder if he even knew we were here.
A few minutes later Alice and Jasper entered the house with some shopping bags. They set their packages down on the dining room table and then came back into the living room to investigate what was going on. I knew right away that Alice wasn't going to stand for not knowing she was going to be pushy nosey little sister. I was never more grateful for wonderful personality quirks than I was right now. If anyone could figure out what was going on she could.
"What is all this mess? Whose is this? Who is going to clean all this up?" She started shooting out questions directed at everyone.
As she was about to start asking more questions Edward came slowly down the stairs with a mattress rested on his back. He looked up from the steps he was closely monitoring and glanced around the room.
"Oh hey um can I get some help here guys?" He asked looking towards Jake, Emmett and Jasper who were all looking at the video game on the television. Jasper jumped up to help because he was the only one not using a controller.
"Yeah sorry man here let me help you with that where's it going?" Jasper asked as he picked up the other end of the mattress as Edward made it to the main floor.
"The Dump where it belongs." Edward replied.
Alice jumped in front of him to block his way.
"Edward what are you doing? Why are you getting rid of your bed? Where are you going to sleep? Are you going to clean up all of this mess?" She was poking him in the chest with her little manicured finger.
"Uh honey can we answer the questions after we get rid of the mattress?" Jasper asked from behind the long mattress.
Alice smiled sweetly at him and stepped aside. Edward smirked at his sister like he had just won the Super Bowl against her. She gave him a dirty look and plopped down on the love seat where Jasper had been sitting.
"So Bella how did your workout go? Is your leg any better?" She asked eagerly waiting my reply.
"Um yeah it's feeling a lot better. I'm gonna head upstairs to shower and change before we start rehearsing ok." I got up and headed for the stairs.
When I got upstairs I saw the big mess in the hallway. I was glad that Alice hadn't venture upstairs yet. There was a king size box spring and a king size mattress leaning against the wall. I peaked in Edward's room and saw the linens that he had been carrying were folded neatly on his desk. I heard footsteps running up the stairs and I quickly went to my room to get my stuff ready for the shower. When I came out back into the hallways I saw Jasper hunched over the old box spring from Edward's room and he was lifting it up directing Edward where to move. What the heck was going on today?
I went to shower and change. I would deal with all of this once I was cleaned up and feeling fresh. I couldn't talk to Edward while he was running around frantic. I could pounce on him naked right now and he probably would push me off so he could finish what he was doing.
I exited the bathroom when I was done and the 2 new mattresses were gone and the door to Edward's room was closed. I heard voices downstairs and quickly put my stuff away in my room before heading downstairs. When I got the living room I saw Alice and Rosalie watching The Hills on MTV and snacking on some chips. I took a seat next to Alice on the sofa and began to munch on the chips as well.
"Where are the guys?" I asked.
"They took all that crap to the dump." Alice replied.
"What was all that stuff for anyway why did he need a new bed?" Alice's face lit up and her smile formed a familiar crooked smile that I was used to seeing on Edward.
"What?" I asked as they both looked at me.
"Nothing I guess he just felt like a change." She replied and gave Rosalie a pointed look. Rosalie just giggled at Alice and returned her attention to the television.
I sighed to myself and got up to get some sodas. "You guys want anything to drink?" I asked.
"Yeah can you bring us some diet coke?" Rosalie said.
"Sure." I went into the kitchen and got 3 diet cokes. When I got back to the living room we all settled in to The Hills marathon.
We watched 3 episodes while providing our commentary on how much we hated Heidie and wished that Lauren was our friend. Alice loved the clothes and Rosalie loved the lifestyle I kind of had a crush on Brody but he reminded me a little of Edward. He was a ladies' man but always had time for Lauren. I secretly hoped that he would get his act together and that Brody and Lauren would live happily ever after. Much like I hoped that Edward and I would end up the same way.
The guys got back around 7pm and were acting very weird. Emmett wasn't with them and Edward and Jake were acting way too chummy for my taste. I was glad to see them getting along but this was definitely weird. Jasper was looking at Alice with goo-goo eyes but more so than usual. Rosalie, Alice and I looked at each other in confusion. I just shrugged and cuddled into the couch to pay attention to the show.
Emmett came in with a bag from FYE the music video store and made an announcement.
"OK ladies here's the deal us men are going to the basement for bonding time and you are not to come down there when the door is closed is that clear?" He asked glancing at all of us one by one.
"Fine but you can't come up here either then." Rosalie said with a smile.
"That's fine if and when we need to come back upstairs we'll call first. Edward grab some snacks and Jacob unhook the XBOX Jasper help Edward with the food and meet me downstairs." Emmett barked orders at the guys and disappeared down the basement steps.
"Hey Jake what's going on?" I asked him as he walked by with the XBOX and a bunch of cords hanging from his arms.
"I can't say and I'm just happy to be included in the guy stuff so you're not getting anything out of me. And Bells I would hold off on talking to him right now wait until after spring break is over and I go home ok." Jake winked at me and disappeared down the basement steps.
"Alice go find out what's going on." I told her. She got up and went in the kitchen where Edward and Jasper were.
Alice came back 5 minutes later with a huge grin on her face. She looked at me and then Rosalie and then at the kitchen and smiled even brighter. She plopped down on the sofa next to me.
"Well are you going to tell me what's going on or not?" I was getting annoyed.
"They didn't tell me anything. They are in there raiding the fridge but Jaz is being extra sweet today so I don't care what they are up to as long as he keeps acting like this." Alice looked off towards the kitchen and her lips turned up into a smirky grin.
Something was going on. I didn't have the energy to figure it out right now. I thought about what Jake said and I guess I could wait to talk to Edward until after spring break but I wanted to know why Jake thought I should. Edward didn't seem to be mad at me anymore or at least he hadn't given me any dirty looks. As I was debating all this in my mind Jasper walked through the living room and kissed Alice on the head and headed downstairs. Edward soon followed but came back up after his hands were empty.
"Thanks for understanding ladies we appreciate it. If you need anything from the basement just call one of our cells and we'll be happy to help." He smiled at each of us and winked at me before disappearing behind the basement door and closing it behind him.
We heard a bunch of furniture moving around and then music started to play. It sounded like they were having a slumber party or something. This was definitely weird. I couldn't make out what song was on but it sounded like the same one being played over and over again it was getting annoying. Maybe I was PMSing because everything was annoying me today.
"I have an idea, if they are going to play slumber party then so are we. Ok we're all going to pick out our favorite chick flick and meet back here in 10 minutes and we can order pizza and make sundaes." Rosalie suggested.
"That sounds fun I could use some girl time." Alice replied.
"Yeah I'm sick of guys and all of their drama." I said as all 3 of us hopped up and went to our rooms to change into comfy pajamas and get our pillows.
We met back in the living room with our favorite movies and pillows and blankets. Rosalie picked Pretty Woman while Alice picked 13 going on 30 and I of course chose the Notebook. We settle in to watch Pretty Woman first and called the guys to see if they wanted to order pizza with us. They did of course and sent Jake up to wait for it. Jake stayed in the kitchen to avoid our questions. When the pizza arrived he grabbed the 2 for the guys and ran downstairs.
"Don't send me up there with them I'm again I can't ta…." We heard Jake telling the guys as he closed the door behind him.
Alice, Rosalie and I cracked up laughing because we knew he was close to cracking. We finished the 1st movie as we pigged out on pizza and soda. We made popcorn for 13 going on 30 and had more soda. After that movie was over we snuck over to the basement door to try and listen. They must have heard us because the door swung open and Emmett was standing there with his arms across his chest looking angry. Well as angry as a big teddy bear can look.
"Stay away from the door. Go back to your movies or you will NEVER find out what we're doing." I had never heard Emmett so stern and loud. Even Rosalie looked scared.
"Why don't we clean up our mess and get ready for bed so we can watch the notebook?" I suggested as we backed away from the basement door.
Emmett shut the door with a slam. We all looked at each other and burst out laughing. We cleaned up our mess and put our leftovers away. I made sundaes for all of us and then we settled in the living room with our pillows and blankets. Rosalie took the couch while Alice took the loveseat. I pulled the recliner back and cuddled into my pillow. It was quite comfortable after you propped the foot thing up.
We watched the movie in silence and I heard sniffles and saw the tissues being passed back and forth. Rosalie tossed them to me after I started to sniffle and we must have fallen asleep watching the movie because the next thing I remember was waking up when someone was banging pots around in the kitchen. I rubbed my eyes and looked around the living room. Alice was snuggled on the loveseat and Rose was not on the sofa. I slowly got up and went upstairs to do my morning routine.
When I came back down Alice was still sleeping and I tip toed into the kitchen to find Edward cooking something. He had stuff strewn all over the counter and there were bowls of liquid mixtures on the island. He had a frying pan going and one dirty one in the sink.
"What are you doing?" I asked through a groggy morning voice. He spun around shocked and disappointment crossed his face.
"Go back to sleep." He replied and turned back to what he was doing. I tried to remember the last time he attempted to cook breakfast and I knew I couldn't leave him alone in the kitchen. I slowly walked over next to him to see what he was doing.
"Do you need some help?" I asked as I peeked around his arm.
"Go back to sleep or find something to do but you can't be in here right now." He grabbed my arms and picked me gently and set me down at the entry way to the kitchen.
I looked up at him with a pout and he gave me a stern look and pointed his arm and finger in the direction away from the kitchen. I had never seen Edward like this before. It was incredibly sexy. He was taking charge and giving orders. I kind of liked it. I looked up at him in defiance. I was not going to give in I was too nosey and I peeked around him to see what he had been trying to cook on the stove. He smiled that crooked grin at me and asked me to please trust him and to just go away. I let out a huff and made my way back to the living room to find Alice waking up and stretching.
"Good morning sleeping beauty." I said to her.
"Morning where is everyone?" She asked.
"Well I guess they are all sleeping and Edward is cooking something but he won't let me in and I just woke up a little while ago. What's the plan for the day?" I plopped on the couch kind of excited that I was the hyper one for a change and she was sleepy and groggy.
"We have to practice dancing with Lisa today and tomorrow and then film the video and that's it. He's cooking?" Alice looked at me questioningly and shrugged her shoulders.
"I guess."I shrugged mine and turned on the TV and of course there was more Hills on so we settled in to watch.
After about 10 minutes everyone else trickled down but Edward refused to let anyone in the kitchen. Emmett and Rosalie were aloud in because they needed coffee and she had to be to work. After they left Jake and Jasper started for the basement to play Xbox while Alice and I continued our Hills marathon. After 2 episodes Edward called for me to come into the dining room. I hopped up eager to finally find out what the big secret was. I was in utter shock when I entered the dining room and saw what he had done.
The dining room was dark with candles lit at the end. There were 2 place setting of a huge breakfast meal. There was French toast sprinkled with powdered sugar, scrambled eggs, bacon, blue berry muffins, fresh squeezed orange juice and coffee. My mouth dropped open and I stood there shocked. Edward came over and took my hand in his and led me to one of the seats. He pulled the chair out and gestured for me to sit. I slowly sat down taking in everything in front of me.
"Hey thanks Edward you shouldn't have." Alice said as she bounced in and took the other seat.
Edward glared at her and pointed to the kitchen. She looked up at him like a scared little kid and slowly put down the juice she was about to drink from and stood up backing away from the table.
"Yours is in the kitchen and tell Jake and Jasper theirs is in there as well so no one and I mean no one needs to come in here." He pointed to the kitchen and Alice gave me a worried look.
I mouthed 'sorry' to her as she exited the dining room while sticking her tongue out at Edward. Edward slowly took the seat that Alice was just in and began to sip his juice. I took that as a sign to dig in so I did. I was famished and it was delicious. The French toast was soft and not burnt; it had just the right amount of sugar. The juice was cold and seedless. The eggs were perfect and the bacon was crispy just how I liked it.
"Wow this is delicious did you make all of this?" I asked through a bite of muffin.
Edward glanced at me with a smile and nodded his head. His cheeks turned pink as he took a bite of bacon. He was being bashful and it was adorable. I don't think I had ever seen Edward so quiet or shy since I've known him.
"Thank you for making breakfast I am very proud of you." I told him as I reached my hand over the table to hold his.
He smiled up at me and squeezed my hand in his. We ate in silence and stole glances and smiles at each other until we were finished with our meal. Edward insisted on cleaning up and told me to go get ready for my day. When I came back downstairs Emmett was back from taking Rose to work and had his gym bag in his hand. Jake and Edward were playing Wii and Alice and Jasper were headed out the door.
"Let's go kiddo I think today should be the last day you need to work the leg it seems to be doing much better." Emmett barked at me as I walked into the living room. I took a quick glance at Edward and he smiled up at me.
"We'll be here when you get back." Edward said while smiling up at me. Jake nodded in agreement with his statement and turned his attention back to the video game.
"Ok I guess I'll see you guys later then. Thanks again Edward it was delicious." I smiled at them and turned to the door.
"Anything for you love." Edward said and turned his attention back to the game.
Love… did he just call me love? All the way to the gym Emmett was blaring his rap music and singing along. I was lost in my own little world of Edward and breakfast and our night of cuddling and love confessions. I thought to the morning after and how Jake and Edward were in a heated discussion and now they were playing video games together like best friends. What changed? What happened? Why did Edward seem so mad at me and now he was going out of his way to do sweet things for me? There were a ton of questions but I was going to wait until after spring break before I had my talk with him. I was going to enjoy this new Edward who was sweet and nice and caring. I could get used to this but I still needed to know where we stood and how he truly felt about me.
