A small giggle escaped from the person behind me and I immediately recognized whose it was.
"Jesus, Sami, you scared me for a second there," I hit my sister's head.
"Ow," she laughed, "So this is your lover's bedroom, eh? I have to say, his room is pretty small compared to my dorm."
"Small?" I raised my eyebrows.
"Hey, London exhibits a wide array of student dormitories; some of which have private kitchens and bathrooms," she bragged in a British accent.
I rolled my eyes and said, "So, how come you're up?"
"Funny dream," she smiled.
I winked, "Gabe?"
Shortly, she nodded. We both wandered through Edward's room and I came to stop at a picture at his bedside table.
The picture displayed Edward and me as little toddlers hugging each other. His hair was its usual messy shape and my brown curls cascaded past my shoulders. It was adorable.
"Aww," Sami noticed me staring at the picture, "How long have you guys known each other?"
I blinked, "Uh, since forever, Sami. It was like we were both meant to be together."
"Well," she laughed, "looks like you're right. You two make a cuter couple than a pair of pandas."
I laughed and we both walked back to our sleeping bags in the living room. Alice was still deep in her beauty sleep then we both drifted back to sleep not long after.
Groggily, I put my arm over my eyes to block the sunlight.
"Bella!" screamed the Energizer Bunnie, "Its Christmas!"
"No, Alice. I'll wake up later," I smacked her arm.
"If I can't wake you up, I know someone who can! Edward!"
Oh great, she knew I couldn't resist that boy.
I felt something on my mouth and I realized it was Edward's. I kissed him back and opened my eyes.
His green emeralds were staring at me and his face was half covered by his crooked smile.
"Good morning, Bella," he grinned.
"Mmm. Didn't you notice my morning breath?" I blushed, embarrassed.
He chuckled, "Your morning breath smells like strawberries," he kissed me again.
He pulled me up to my feet and it was then that I noticed he had no shirt on.
Oh shit.
I couldn't resist staring at him. Honestly, as a fourteen year old, Edward had one of the most beautiful bodies ever. A faint trace of a six pack was on his abs and his arms practically yelled "seductive".
He smiled as he noticed me checking him out, "You like what you see?"
Gulp. "Uh huh."
He laughed and put on his hoodie, "Let's go; breakfast before presents as always."
For breakfast, the main dining table was set with chocolate chip and regular pancakes, hash browns, omelets, bacon, crepes, French toast, and waffles. I practically ate for two when I saw the pancakes.
After breakfast, we all headed to Christmas tree with Carlisle dressed as Santa. He passed out all the presents to each of us.
I had a whole pile of presents lay in front of me; most of them gigantic. Crap, how much money did these people spend?
From Esme and Carlisle, one of those dish chairs for my room. It had a blue cushion in different shades. I thanked them with a warm hug and continued to open my other presents.
Wrapped in a pink box, Alice had decided to give me a strapless red Nicole Miller dress and silver Jimmy Choo sling backs from Saks Fifth Avenue. How did I know it was from there? When we had gone to the mall one time, she begged me to buy the dress plus the shoes; I didn't budge. I raised my eyebrows at her wondering what occasion the dress could be for. She smiled and mouthed, 'New Year Dance'. I rolled my eyes and smiled at her.
The next one was from Emmett's parents; a white iHome for my bedroom since my last one was broken. I gave them a hug too, just like Esme and Carlisle.
Embarrassingly enough, Emmett had decided to give me a present. Not only was it inappropriate, but also, it was the funniest present ever. He had given me Position Of The Day Sex Fortunes by the Editors. And with it read a post-it, For you and little Eddie when you decide to GET IT ON! Hehe, Em. Hiding it under the wrapper, I concealed it from my parents. When the parents weren't looking I flipped Emmett off and stuck my tongue out at him.
Next, the present was from Rosalie and Jasper. I tore off the box that contained a whole new outfit from Neiman Marcus- as stated on the box. A pair of white Rock&Republic jeans, a loose sweater vest plus, a twist top. I thanked the two of them with more hugs.
After them was their parents who gave me more to complete the entire outfit; brown crocheted Uggs and a blue Cole Haan shoulder bag. I thanked them too again, with a hug.
Gabe had given me a Coach scarf and I handed him his gift while I thanked him with his present- a black digital frame which held the pictures from the All Time Low concert last Thanksgiving break.
Sami gave me a textile cushion from the Versace flagship in England. Since I knew she must've suffered shopping the entire time, I put it in my head to take her book shopping one day.
I needed two more presents to open; from Edward and my parents.
Unable to wait any longer, I grabbed the small box containing Edward's present for me. My eyes widened as I saw another jewelry box, but this time it was Bvlgari. I opened it and found the most magnificent charm bracelet with an emerald charm- the same color as his eyes.
I ran over to Edward and kissed him on cheek and whispered, "thank you". He smiled and dangled his two pairs of custom Nikes in the air. I laughed and walked back over to my pile- well, once pile- of presents.
A large box lay before me right next to the monster of wrapping paper. It was blue and I kept wondering what my parents could have gotten for me.
Hurriedly, I ripped the paper off and opened the box. It had a pillow inside it with the letter "B" on it. I raised my eyes in wonder and noticed my parents standing over me. They pointed inside the box again and I found a small note:
Merry Christmas, Bella!
Your present is at home.
It was far too big to be in the box (: So we put it in your bedroom.
-mom and dad
I laughed at the message and nodded; but, I couldn't help but be curious how big this thing was. I kissed my parents' cheeks and went into the kitchen with the others to grab some lunch.
When we finished with the presents, we all headed back to our own homes to spend the rest of Christmas at our homes. We said our goodbyes to everyone and with a whole car load of Christmas gifts, we headed home.
During the ride home, we all sang Christmas songs enjoying the holiday.
The house looked the same as always and Sami and I ran up my room to see what my present was.
And that was when I saw it.
Blue, brown, pink, white….so many colors. It was beautiful.
My entire room had been renovated- in a way unimaginable. The left corner was now a corner desk with a brand new Mac and a whole array of brand new desk accessories. But the main portion was stunning.
My fireplace at the side had been complimented with magazine racks with tons of current events nearby the folding doors to my closet. On the floor, were a blue and purple border rug and two bean bags.
My bed had been replaced with a platform bed and brown and blue pillows. To the side was a flat panel media shelf set where my plasma screen and books had been placed. On it was also several canvas bins, a new silver Bose speaker and several small plushies.
In the right corner, was a purple lounge chair with a blue mini-fridge next to it. My room also had round paper lanterns in blue and white as a source of light. (check the link on my profile to give you an idea)
On top of the bed were frames of pictures on the wall- past and present, the most recent one being last night. I hugged and thanked my parents for giving me a new bedroom renovation, not to mention the new iPod touch sitting on the Bose speaker.
Sami said as she plopped down on my new bed, "Well, this totally beats my room across the hall…" she smiled.
"What'd they get you for Christmas?"
She grinned, "Books," as she put up a gift card to Barnes and Noble.
"How much is in there?" I asked.
"Hmm…so much more than five hundred dollars," she grinned.
I sighed in defeat. Book shopping soon? Fershure. At least I might get new books too.
Placing my phone on the headboard, I threw a pillow at my adopted sibling. She laughed and hit me back with another pillow.
We continued with the pillow fight until Renee, with a small bump protruding her belly said, "Girls get your presents from the car."
Both of us nodded and during the walk up and down, we talked. When I asked her what she had received, she blurted out a list.
"Uh, your parents gave me the gift card; you gave me a rare Shakespeare original leather bound book; let's see…Jasper and Rose got me a crystal lion figurine; their parents got me these really beautiful picture frames; Edward got me well, a pair of earrings; Alice…Seven jeans plus these shoes that look like they're standing on a stick; Esme and Carlisle gave me almost the entire Hot Topic shirt collection; and Emmett got me a dancing Jesus statue?" she laughed as she said it.
"So how was your Christmas?" she asked me
I blushed, "Romantic?"
"Yeah. I saw the two of you on the tree house," she said as we placed all her presents in her bedroom.
After arranging of all the presents, we stayed in my room and played a game of Super Mario Galaxy.
My phone vibrated on the headboard and I reached out to read the text.
Bella,
Go out with me to the Grove tomorrow (:
I want to take you out- just the two of us.
Maybe we can even get some ice cream
Edward
I texted him back
Edward,
I will (: I love you
Bella
Less than two minutes later…
Bella,
I love you, too
-Edward
I heard a giggle behind me and saw Sami peeking over my shoulder.
"Date, eh?" she winked, "I do have a meeting tomorrow."
"Meeting?" she blushed.
"Okay, so Gabe asked me to meet him at the Santa Monica Pier- it's not that significant," she blushed even redder. Now I knew for sure we were related.
I laughed, "Well, since your insignificant meeting is tomorrow at the same time as my insignificant meeting, details on the "meeting", okay?"
We both pinky swore and proceeded to going down the kitchen and grabbing a snack.
I woke up the next morning at around ten. Sami must've still been asleep as I dressed for today's date with Edward.
Walking into my closet, I picked out my clothes: a blue Hollister plaid shirt, a lime DC hoodie, black skinnies, a loose scarf, my new Cole Haan bag and a pair of brown Uggs.
When I decided my hair was decent enough, I went downstairs to find Sami in her blue jeans, green The Academy Is… shirt, and blue and white Nikes.
"Morning," she smiled.
I grinned back.
"Ready?" I asked her.
"In a bit," she walked over to the pantry and pulled out a bag of Oreos and then took a glass of milk from the fridge.
I joined her in eating as Charlie came in the kitchen.
"Morning, girls," he said, "Oreos for breakfast?"
"Mhm," we both responded.
"Well, Joey will be back from Chicago in half an hour. Renee will be leaving for Paris soon," he said to us.
"Soon?" I asked.
"Yeah, after Joey brings you girls to your trips, he'll come back to bring her to L.A.X."
"Oh, isn't it kind of unhealthy for her though. I mean, she is three months pregnant, dad," I questioned him.
He shrugged, "Doctor says its fine. Besides, she said she needs to prepare for fashion week soon."
We both nodded and headed up the stairs to say goodbye to Renee.
Sami and I walked in the bedroom to find my mom in her Manolos, a brown Burberry trench coat, and white leggings. All around her was a collection of Louis Vuitton luggage.
"Hi, mom," we both said.
"Hey girls, ready to say goodbye for two weeks?" she weakly smiled.
"Kind of I guess," I said. But truly, I was worried for my pregnant mother- we both were.
She gave us both hugs and kisses on our foreheads.
"Bella," she said as she kissed my forehead, "being with Edward does much good for you." She smiled.
I blushed, "How?"
"Well, first of all, look at you," she eyed me, "You have changed the way you dress and even the way you walk. Second, I see you happier than ever which makes me happy, too."
"Thanks, mom," I hugged her.
She continued, "And hopefully, Sami gets her new man too."
The three of us laughed.
"I love you, girls. But I think its time for you to leave; Joey's back," she said as she looked at her watch.
We said goodbyes to our mom and left for the Escalade.
Nearby was The Grove so I was dropped off first.
"Bye!" Sami waved as I jumped out of the car.
"See ya later!" I said to her as I ran from the car.
Edward had told me to meet him in the bridge by the fountain so I stood at the rail enjoying the view of the dancing water.
"Bella," a soothing velvet voice sounded as I felt his arms around me.
"Edward," I mocked him.
I twisted my head to meet him face to face. His lips were curled up in a glorious smile and his emerald eyes were staring straight at me.
Before I could stop myself, I leaned in and kissed him on his perfect lips. He kissed me back until I heard something crinkle behind me.
I pulled back and looked behind me.
The crinkle had come from a purple paper wrapped around the most beautiful bouquet of flowers created.
"What are those?" I asked as I pressed my nose onto his.
He smiled, "Freesias and roses; made custom for my love."
He kissed me again and with so much passion that we practically beat Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams' "Best Kiss" scene in The Notebook.
Our first part of the day was spent walking on the grass and sometimes sitting down and just playing around. When it was around noon, he took me to lunch at Maggiano's Little Italy where they served the best bread and pasta I had tasted so far.
After lunch, we both watched The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.
I honestly never liked it when people spent money on me but today was one of those few exceptions. I loved Edward and though I may be young I had a feeling he was going to be around for a long, long time.
Of course, the date ended but I wished it never did. I held the bags from Coach, Barneys, and Nike as I kissed Edward goodbye and we went our separate ways.
"Have fun?" Joey asked as I entered the Escalade.
"Lots," I responded as I looked around the car, "Where's Sami?"
"Oh, she's home already," he said as we drove home.
I dropped my bags by the staircase and ran to Sami's room as soon as I got home.
"Hey Bella," she said as she looked up from her laptop. She placed it on the side of her bed and we proceeded to talking about our dates.
"…so that's it and then I went home," she concluded her date.
I smiled, "Sounded like you had tons of fun."
"So did you," she commented back.
"Did he kiss you?" I asked.
Blushing, she hid under the covers.
I laughed, "Ha! He did. But that's so cute."
"It was only on the cheek," she mumbled from under the covers.
I bent down and whispered in her ear, "And you enjoyed every moment of it."
"Well, at least, I don't cling on to pieces of jewelry," she said as she got up from the covers.
"What are you talking about?"
She pointed at my necklace.
"Oh," I said, "That's not a big deal. I mean, I just like it that's all."
"Like? You haven't removed that since you got it three weeks ago," she smirked.
I rolled my eyes, "I just forget, okay?"
"Mhm," she nodded sarcastically, knowing that I kept it on because I loved it there.
And I knew it, too; this necklace was there for a purpose and it was because I belonged to Edward and no one else's.
OHHH . So yes, it is official: SAMI AND GABE are together (:
And, well, as you guys should have noticed by now… Bella's changing a bit- from her kind of young self into a more womanly kind.
Plus, I hope you guys don't mind but more drama is coming soon.
I'm planning to make this into a twenty chapter story so a lot of stuff after this will be drama. Come on, its been mostly fluff so far right?
Oh and about lemons…hmm…I do plan on doing one later on… but that'll be in the future between a couple I shall not reveal. Hehe.
Miss Sami Cullen, you may not reveal it. Haha (x
Review please. More reviews= more updates.
I'll update on Sunday if I get a ton more reviews (:
