Chapter 2

"You cook?" I asked her as I sat on one of the barstools and watched her bend over and pull something that smelled delicious from the oven.

She scowled in my direction which caused me to hold my hands up in surrender. "It smells delicious." I complimented her instead of questioning her.

She rolled her eyes as she sat the bubbling casserole dish on heat pads and headed for the refrigerator. "Thanks. It's chicken lasagna with cheesy garlic bread. Why do you think Jasper spends so much time here? It's not just because of Alice." She said with a slight smile.

I chuckled. "Yeah, I bet, Esme tries so hard but can't cook for the life of her. We would all starve if it wasn't for take-out or frozen dinners." I admitted to her.

She quirked an eyebrow at me in what I assumed was curiosity.. "Why do you call your mother by her name?" She asked as she slid the garlic sticks into the oven pressing a few buttons and shutting the door on the oven again.

"She's not my real mother, and I don't want to disrespect my mom by calling Esme 'mom'." I told her because our adoption was no big secret but Jasper and I didn't talk openly about it to many people. I mean, we both opted to keep our real last names instead of taking Cullen so it's not like we could hide it.

She sighed and leaned back against the counter without saying another word. I just stared at her for a few minutes before giving in and speaking to her first. "Why do you hate me so much?" I asked her quietly.

She got a hateful look in her eye before stomping out of the room without another word. "Here we go…again." I mumbled to myself as I got up to follow her. She walked up the massive wrought iron staircase and I followed after her, figuring I would eventually get my answer if I stuck with it. "Bella?" I questioned when she paused at the top landing.

She snapped around and glared at me. "Don't speak, just follow and listen and you will get your answer." She demanded harshly.

I nodded and made the zipping motion across my lips to signal that she had my silence. "Your awesome girlfriend saw me looking at you last year." She said as she opened the double doors in front of us.

We walked into a massive walk in closet. I had thought it was the master bedroom but it was a huge custom closet that was filled to the brim with clothes, shoes, and all sorts of accessories. I followed her silently until she pointed to a white stool that sat in the middle of the room. I sat on it and waited for an explanation patiently. This was getting interesting. She rummaged through a bottom drawer on the left hand side of the closet. I looked around and saw distinct differences between the left hand side and the right hand side of the room. The right hand side had a lot, and I mean A LOT, of pink and sparkly in it while the left hand side had more gray, black, and toned down colors with just splashes of color. Bella and her sister obviously shared this closet but had their own sides.

She pulled out a big plastic bag and handed it to me. I could see that it was a shirt that had been ruined by something and looked like it had been shredded or cut up. I kept my mouth shut because the last thing I wanted for her to get pissed and not explain. "Tanya caught me looking at you last year while I waited on Alice to get finished with cheerleading practice and taught me a lesson. This is the results of that lesson." She said gesturing to the once beautiful white shirt with silver flowers and a lace inlay in the scooped back that was covered in something that had obviously destroyed it by staining it blue and shredding it up. As I held the shirt up I remembered seeing her wear it around the school, she had looked amazing in it.

"Bella-"

She held her hand up and pointed to the shirt. "She tossed blue dyed water all over me as I waited for Alice by my car since her battery was dead on her car. I had to miss three days of school because I couldn't scrub the blue off of my body or out of my hair. She made my life a living hell anytime I came near you or even looked at you. That is why I avoided you and made you think I hated you." She said quietly.

I laid the shirt on top of the plastic bag on the table beside the stool I was sitting on and stood up. "Bella-"

She held her hand up and shook her head. "I don't want to hear your apologies, Edward, just please don't tell her you came to my house or talked to me or anything." She begged me with sad scared eyes.

I walked slowly toward her so as to not scare her off but she backed up for every step I took forward...until she ran into the shelves behind her. "Fuck, Tanya, and her harpies." I whispered as I stepped up into her personal space. Our chests touched briefly with every breath we took, that is how close I was standing to her. I took a deep breath of her cinnamon and vanilla scent that I hadn't smelled except for in passing but had quickly became obsessed with. "She's a whore and we are done. I can promise you that we won't be getting back together after her latest stunt. I didn't know anything about that shirt and dyed water incident. I swear, Bella. I had no idea." I pleaded with her quietly as I tenderly cupped her face in my hands stroking her cheeks softly.

She nodded slightly and closed her eyes, shielding her gorgeous chocolate brown eyes from me but giving me the perfect opportunity to do something I had wanted to do when I first spotted her on my first day three years ago. I leaned forward pressing my chest against hers lightly and gently breathed against her lips letting her know my plan so she wouldn't be frightened away. As soon as my lips touched hers gently the timer for the oven went off and she shoved me away and practically sprinted away and out of the room without a word.

I descended the stairs quickly so as to put some space between me and Edward Masen. I walked into the kitchen in a daze from Edwards light kiss to my lips and softly spoken words. My lips tingled from his soft moist lips, my cheeks tingled from his gentle touch, my nether regions tingled just from his close presence. I turned off the timer before pulling the bubbling cheesy garlic bread-sticks from the oven just as the front door from the garage opened. "Belle, dinner smells absolutely delicious as always." Jasper said coming up to kiss me on the cheek effectively pulling me from my haze.

"Thanks, Jazz, I made your favorite for such a great game played tonight." I told him as I pulled four plates down from the cabinet and handed them to Alice. This was our nightly routine and everybody knew their part.

"What can I do to help?" Edward's silky voice asked right beside my ear as I sliced the cooling lasagna.

I shoved him away with an elbow to the ribs causing him to grunt. "Stop that." I hissed at him as I glared at him over my shoulder.

He had a sexy as hell smirk plastered all over his face. "I make no promises." He said as he held his hands up. "It's game on now, princess." He said as he backed away a little bit.

I just shook my head at him and pointed to the refrigerator. "Everybody drinks milk with my chicken lasagna and cheese sticks. Please go fill the glasses up that Jasper has set on the table." I told him pointing to the doorway that led to the informal dining room we always ate at. We hadn't used the formal dining room since our parents had left back in early April nor had any intentions too. Thanksgiving was last week and Alice and I had eaten my chicken enchiladas while on Skype with our parents for about ten minutes, if that long.

Dinner was a silent affair but entertaining none the less as glances were shot to each other, round and round the table as we ate. Finally, I had had enough. "What is with the looks?" I asked my other three dinner table occupants.

Edward sighed and sat his fork down on his plate. "It's me. I'm making a normal routine awkward. I'll leave. I'll go find somewhere else to hang out at tonight." He said pushing back from the table to stand.

Before I could think about it I reached out and laid a hand on his arm to stop him. "Edward. Stop. Sit." I told him with a pointed look at his chair. He sighed but sat back down with his head hung. "Do you two have a problem with Edward and I being civil?"

Alice shook her head adamantly. "Nope, not me." She said popping her 'p' in the process.

Jasper had a slick cocky grin plastered on his face as he shook his head. "Absolutely not. I think it's about time." He said cockily which caused Edward to glare at him which turned into a smile when Jasper grunted.

I assumed he had kicked him under the table. We finished dinner in peace and eventually filtered into the living room where Alice had already set up her 'Game night' box on the round leather ottoman that sat in the middle of the space. I groaned as I flopped down on the couch as Alice twirled to grab the box and Jasper's eyes were trained on her the whole time. Edward sat down on the arm of the couch beside me. "Should I be afraid? I've heard about Alice's game nights." He whispered as Alice searched through the colorfully decorated box.

I nodded and groaned again when Alice pulled out an empty wine bottle and a blue velvet bag that I knew contained pieces of paper with things to do written on them. "Very afraid. There are some very vulgar things on those slips of paper. I know I helped write them." I told him honestly with my own smirk planted firmly on my face.

He groaned and hung his head. "I thought this game went out of style after we entered high school." He said a little too loudly causing Alice to hear and reiterate.

"Nope, you just have to update your requests and rules." She said as she circled her finger around the ottoman. "Everybody take a seat." She said as she plopped down on one side of it placing the bottle in the middle of the ottoman.

I groaned but got up and sat directly across from her with Edward to my left and Jasper to my right. "I want to go first, Tinker." I told her with a glare because she and I both knew that all of those requests had a sexual flare to them. And I knew she had picked this damn game to get me and Edward to open up to one another.

She gladly handed the bottle over and I gave it a good spin but unfortunately there weren't but four people playing so my choices were limited. But I groaned aloud and bit my lip silently when it stopped on Edward. Alice laughed loudly and handed Edward the bag with all the requests in them. "Don't you normally just kiss the person who spun the bottle or something?" He asked as he gingerly took the bag from Alice and pilfered around in it before drawing his hand out with a black piece of paper that caused me to groan because I had written all the requests on the black pieces of paper and Alice had handled the pink paper strips.

Alice nodded. "I changed the rules to make it more interesting. You must read what the strip says aloud before choosing to do it or removing an article of clothing." She said like she was a ring leader or teacher or something.

He shot a quick glance to me before opening up the slip of paper and reading what it said aloud. "Turn to the person who spun the bottle and give them an example of your dirty pillow talk for five minutes." He read out loud, his voice got softer and huskier as he read the sentence.

I groaned and hung my head in my hands allowing my long brown hair to cover my beat read face. Alice just cheered Edward on and Jasper laughed. I took a deep breath and lifted my head facing Edward bravely. "Give it your best shot." I told him with a smirk on my face.

He grinned, got up on his hands and knees and crawled over to me. I was shocked when he essentially straddled my side with one leg over mine and one leg behind me pressed against my back. He tugged me firmly against him as he brushed my hair back to expose my ear. "It didn't say anything about getting this close." I protested mildly but didn't fight him because I was honestly a little curious as to what he would whisper in my ear.

He laughed. "I'm sure what I am about to say to you, you probably don't want your sister to hear." He told all of us with a quirked eyebrow. Alice cringed and shook her head while Jasper laughed and I groaned. It was funny because when it came to Alice's sex life she didn't care who heard her but she didn't want to hear about other people's sex lives.

Damn, he was right which caused me to groan out loud. "Yeah yeah, get the show on the road. It's not like any of it is gonna be true anyways." I told him as I laid my arms over his leg and leaning into his chest as he leaned forward. We were literally touching all the way around. He surrounded me and I hated to admit it but I kind of like it.

"Time starts now." Alice said quietly. I shut my eyes and took a deep breath, mentally preparing myself for what was about to happen. I had a feeling that this moment and the immediate ones following were going to be the ones to change my life. Forever.

He leaned forward and pressed his lips right against my ear as he whispered his first sentence. "You have no idea how true what I am about to say really is, Isabella. I have waited a very long time to be able to tell you how I really feel and I am about to take full advantage. I have you for five minutes."

I jerked away from him and looked him in the eye and all he did was smile and nod before gently gripping my chin and turning my head back so he could whisper into my ear again. "I don't do dirty talk very often but on occasion it happens. Mmmm…I would love to fuck you up against your locker at school because you taunt me standing there purposefully ignoring me no matter how many compliments I give you or looks I give you practically begging you to talk to me. But first I want to take you on a date, a real date, and I think by the end of the night you are going to let me. Before I fuck you hard against your locker, which will happen one day, I want to make slow sweet love to you in a big soft bed where we can roll around and each take turns being in control. I want to watch your face as you come while I make love to you ever so slowly and softly. I wonder, do your eyes get wide just as you go over the edge? Do they darken to a molten chocolate instead of a caramel brown? Does your body quiver when you go over the edge? How high does you back arch when I refuse to give you everything you want and need to go over that edge?" He traced light circles up and down my spine as his whispered words sent tingles to every single part of my body. I crossed my arms over my chest because I could feel my nipples hardening under his sexual words. I clenched my thighs to try and find some relief but found none. He sat a hand on my thigh and slid it forward between my clenched thighs. I was immediately thankful that Alice was sitting on the other side of the ottoman and his leg was over mine shielding his movements somewhat. "Hmmm…seems like someone is turned on already. Are you nipples hard just from my words? Your bright blue panties soaked through?" He asked as he slid his hand further up until he encountered the warmth between my legs causing me to gasp lightly and lean my head against his as he applied pressure against my aching core. "God, Isabella, you are so hot and damp already. I'm sorry, baby, but there will be no pleasure found from me until you consent to a date with me. You really are beautiful though and I am immensely sorry that Tanya done the things she did. She did them because she was jealous and she knew I found you attractive but could never find the courage to approach you. I'm done playing games and I'm done being a pussy."

"Time's up!" Alice called cheerfully.

"I'm going after what I want and that just so happens to be you, Isabella." He ended his words with a gentle kiss to my earlobe before removing himself from around me completely.

I just groaned and laid my head on the ottoman to calm myself down. I took several deep breaths as Alice and Jasper laughed. "You okay, Belle?" Alice asked in between giggles.

I nodded and lifted my head up brushing my hair back and smiled at them. "I'm fine. Edward, it's your turn." I told him handing him the bottle with a glare.

He just winked and smiled at me. "Yes ma'am." He saluted me as he spun the bottle only for it to land on Alice. The game went on and on for almost half an hour with Alice and Edward having to swap clothes for five full minutes. I had refused to French kiss Jasper for three minutes so I had to strip an article of clothing off. I chose my shoes. It was now Edward's turn again and I took a deep breath because that bottle had avoided landing on me so far when it had been his turn. I wasn't so lucky this time as it stopped right in front of me.

I groaned. "I think that thing is cursed." I said snatching up the blue bag Edward offered to me.

Everybody just laughed as I dug around in the bag before pulling out another black slip of paper. "You have got to be shitting me." I grumbled. This was the one I had hoped and prayed to all the God's I knew of that I wouldn't draw.

"Problems princess?" Edward asked eyeing the piece of paper in my hands.

I shook my head and opened the folded piece of paper only to close it and groan out loud. "I'm not doing this." I told them tossing the piece of paper beside me.

"Oh come on, Bella, you have to. You can only pass every other turn and you passed last turn." Alice whined giving me her puppy dog face.

I shook my head. "It can't be that bad, Bella." Edward said quietly reaching for the discarded request.

I reached for it too but he beat me to it and opened up the folded piece of paper and I watched in horrification as a sexy as sin smile spread across his face.

I laid my head back down on the ottoman. "I'm not doing it." I said again.

"Pick me, baby, please. I promise it will be okay." Edward begged right against my ear causing me to jerk upright and face him with a questionable look on my face.

"I don't have a choice in who I have to do it with. But, I have to read this thing out loud, Edward, everybody is going to know." I whispered to him quietly.

He shrugged his shoulders. "I'm single, your single. What's the problem?" He asked me quietly so no one else could hear. Alice and Jasper were watching our interactions with rapt attention.

"Fine. Take a 10 minute shower with the person who spun the bottle. Clothes must be tossed outside the bathroom door to count." I read aloud.
