So without any more rambling..I present to you the next installment of Nine Months in the Making
EPOV:
I opened the door to Bella's house and walked in. There was no sign of Bella anywhere. The only thing I heard was the faint sounds of music coming from upstairs somewhere. I quietly walked up the stairs, following the music. The volume got louder as I reached the room that was Bella's office. I recognized the tune, it was "Everything" by Michael Bublè.
You're a falling star,
You're the get away car.
You're the line in the sand when I go too far.
You're the swimming pool, on an August day.
And you're the perfect thing to say.
I carefully opened the door to find Bella sitting at her desk on the computer. She was furiously typing away at something, singing along with the music.
"And you play it coy, but it's kinda cute. When you smile at me you know exactly what you do. Baby don't pretend, that you don't know it's true. Cause you can see it when I look at you..." she sang out, her head bopping to the beat. She still had no idea I was in the room.
"And in this crazy life, and through these crazy times. It's you, it's you, you make me sing. You're every line, you're every word, you're everything." I sang along. The sound of my voice must've startled her because she whipped her head back and smiled when she saw me. She quickly clicked something on her computer, probably saving her work, and stood up.
"Edward…" she whispered and she wrapped her arms around my torso.
"Bella…" I murmured as I held her tightly. This finally felt right. I pulled her arms around to my neck and placed my hands on her hips. We started rocking back and forth to the music, softly singing along to the song.
You're a carousel, you're a wishing well,
And you light me up, when you ring my bell.
You're a mystery, you're from outer space,
You're every minute of my everyday.
I twirled her around the room. Her laughter bounced against the walls. The smile that was evident on her face was one I hoped would stay there forever.
And I can't believe, uh that I'm your man,
And I get to kiss you baby just because I can.
I kissed her soft lips carefully.
"I love you, Edward Anthony." she cooed. I just smiled and twirled her around again, then bringing her in my arms once again.
Whatever comes our way, ah we'll see it through,
And you know that's what our love can do.
And in this crazy life, and through these crazy times
It's you, it's you, You make me sing
You're every line, you're every word, you're everything.
As the song faded into a new song, I wrapped my arms her tightly. "How was your visit with Rosalie? And Tanya?" she questioned as she lifted her head up off my chest. I could tell she was a little uncomfortable about Tanya still.
"Eventful. I'm a free man Bella." I said as I observed a smile appear on her face. "I have no home, except for my cabin on Mount Rainer. She now owns the studio in Manhattan, along with our own home here in Bellevue. "
"Well I'm glad that you've finally gotten yourself out of this situation. Now you're free to move on with your life." she smirked.
"Oh, I've moved on with my life, alright. I have you, love." I explained.
I felt my phone vibrating in the pocket of my slacks.
"Oh, you're vibrating Edward." Bella giggled. I let go of her to pull the phone out of my pocket. The caller ID screen told me it was Emmett.
"Hello?" I answered.
"Edward, my man! You are now single! Time to mingle! Plans for tonight?" Emmett boomed.
"Well…" I trailed off. Truth was I wanted to take Bella out to dinner to celebrate.
"No? Good! We're going out tonight. I'm gonna call Bella to have her keep Leilah over at Charlie's tonight, if it's possible. We're going out! Alice and I have the best plan ever!"
"Alright, Emmett, whatever you say. What time?" I asked. I looked at Bella, she looked puzzled.
"Well, if you ever decide to come home, Edward, you would know. Where are you anyways?" he asked.
"Out. Don't worry about me. I'm a grown man, I can take care of myself."
"Well, well, well…looks like little Eddie has a girlfriend!" Emmett exclaimed.
"Emmett…what time are we going tonight?" I asked sternly.
"We're meeting at the Whitlock's at seven. Be there or be square." Emmett said. Before I could answer back the line went silent and I realized he hung up.
I looked at Bella. "I guess we're going out tonight. Emmett's going to call you…" I started to explain when Bella's house phone rang. She laughed and got up to answer it.
"Hello?" Bella answered. "Um…no I don't, Emmett." "I'm sure my dad would be happy to watch Leilah overnight. I'll call and ask him." "Seven?" "Alright seven it is. I'll see you at Alice and Jasper's." she hung up the phone and looked at me.
"I guess Leilah is sleeping over with Grandpa Charlie." She said as she dialed Charlie's number and walked away.
BPOV:
I turned around after locking my door.
"Here you go, Bella." Edward said as he handed me Leilah's overnight bag.
"Thanks. I'm just going to drop this off at Charlie's…" I said as I held up Leilah's bag. "…and head over to Alice's. I'll see you there?"
"Of course. I'll beat you there." he smirked. "I love you…"
Those three words, I-love-you. I still couldn't get over the fact that he loved me, me. Of all people, sure I wasn't the awkward teenager I was when he first met me, but he was there through all of that. He's seen me at my worse…and my best.
"I love you too." I said. He kissed me softly and walked away.
"Are you serious, Alice?" Rosalie asked as we pulled up to Bottom's Up, the local karaoke bar. I looked at the building in front of me. We were really doing this…
We had split up for the drive, boys and girls. Jasper and Alice offered to be designated drivers, well Alice obviously.
"Heck yeah, Rose! Don't worry either I've already called ahead and signed us up. There's no need to stress about what song to sing. Emmett and I have already taken care of it!" Alice exclaimed. She was proud of her idea.
We all got out of the car and Rosalie stomped over to Emmett.
"Listen here, Emmett McCarty!" she said poking him in the chest. "You better have not signed me up for some god awful song!"
Emmett laughed. "Of course not, my Rosie. I wouldn't do that to you. Come on, let's celebrate. Edward Cullen is a free man again!" he said as he wrapped his arm around Rosalie's shoulders and walked in. Jasper and Edward soon followed.
"Come on, Bells. Don't worry. I chose a good song." Alice said with a mischievous grin on her face.
"Alice, I'm scared for my life." I muttered as she dragged me into the bar.
We got situated at a table in the back and ordered our drinks.
"So here's the deal. Alice and I called ahead and signed all of us up for some songs. So ditch the song books and just wait for your turns." Emmett said pulling the books out of Edward and Jasper's hands.
"So who's going first?" Jasper asked. Emmett smiled.
"We're not too sure. They'll just call you up there." he replied.
"Alright, next up we have…" the announcer said as he walked up on the stage. He glanced down at his clipboard. "…Jasper Whitlock! Everyone give a round of applause for Jasper!"
The five of us cheered as Jasper brought himself to the stage. We watched as the announcer whispered something into his ear and Jasper smiled. He walked right up to the microphone.
"Good Evenin'. This song is dedicated my wife, Alice. This one's for you darlin'." He said. His Texas accent slipped through little more than usual. I glanced over at Alice as she squealed and clapped her hands.
"I love you, Jazzy!" she yelled as the opening chords to "I Got a Feelin'" by Billy Currington played.
"I don't wanna rush this thing
I don't wanna jump the gun
I really wanna say those three little words
But I'm gonna bite my tongue"
Jasper sang as he placed the microphone on the stand at the front of the stage. I knew this was one of Alice's favorite country songs and she loved it when Jasper sang her this song, he made quite a habit out of it too. He didn't even need the monitor with the lyrics.
"Yeah, I'm just gonna lay on back
Leave it on cruise control
I'm gonna hold it all inside
Till the right time comes down the road
I got a feelin'
My head's a reelin'
My heart is screamin'
I'm about to bust loose
Bottled up emotion
It's more than a notion
It starts with an "I"
And ends with a "U"
I got a feelin'
Are you feelin' it too?"
The entire time he sang he sang out to Alice. By time the song was over the crowd was on their feet clapping along with the beat. Occasionally singing along with the chorus. When the song was over he headed back to our table.
"Aw, Jazzy that was amazing!" Alice exclaimed as she kissed him softly on the cheek.
"Only for you, Ali." he beamed, returning the kiss.
We sat around laughing at the next couple acts that followed Jasper. There was a really bad version of "Beat It", which resulted in the very drunk, karaoke-er attempting to do the moon walk.
"Alright…that was…amusing. Thank you." The announcer said once again. He glanced down at the clipboard. "Next up we have…Miss Rosalie Hale!"
I looked at Rosalie who was glaring at Emmett.
"I swear to you, Emmett. This better not be embarrassing." she said heading up to the stage.
She took the microphone as the announcer mumbled something to her. She nodded and placed the mic on the stand. The lights went dim and the spot light shined on her as the open guitar licks of "Before He cheats" by Carrie Underwood started to play.
"Right now he's probably slow dancing
With a bleach blonde tramp,
And she's probably getting frisky...
Right now, he's probably buying her some
Fruity little drink cause she can't shoot whiskey..."
She sang into the microphone. We all knew this song hit right at home with Rosalie. She'd been in too many relationships that didn't last very long because the guy ended up cheating on her. Who in their right mind would cheat on her?
"Right now, he's probably up behind her with a pool-stick,
Showing her how to shoot a combo...
And he don't know..."
She ran her fingers through her blonde locks as she started to sing the chorus. Her head bopping to the beat. The heel of her stiletto was tapping along.
"That I dug my key into the side of his
Pretty little souped up for wheel drive,
Carved my name into his leather seats...
I took a Louisville slugger to both headlights,
Slashed a hole in all four tires...
Maybe next time he'll think before he cheats."
We cheered as she finished the song. She came strutting back over to the table.
"I promise Rosie, I would never do that to you." Emmett said, scared. I know he saw the anger in her voice as she sang. He was officially scared of what she would do to him. In a weird Emmett and Rosalie way, it was cute.
"I know, Em. I trust you." she said plopping herself down on his lap.
"Alright, thank you, Rosalie! Up next we have…Alice Whitlock!" the announcer said as she bounced up the stage. She grabbed the microphone from him and moved the stand out of her way.
"Good evening everyone!" she chimed into the mic. The opening chords to Taylor Swift's "Our Song." Started to play.
"I was riding shotgun with my hair undone in the front seat of his car
He's got one-hand feel on the steering wheel
The other on my heart
I looked around, turn the radio down
He says baby is something wrong?
I say nothing I was just thinking how we don't have a song
And he says..."
She sang as she bounced around on the stage. This song was the epitome of the beginnings of Alice and Jasper's relationship. It really was their song.
"Our song is the slamming screen door,
Sneakin' out late, tapping on your window
When we're on the phone and you talking real slow
Cause it's late and your mama don't know
Our song is the way you laugh
The first date "man, I didn't kiss her, and I should have"
And when I got home ... before I said amen
Asking God if he could play it again."
Once the song was over she got a standing ovation. Apparently it was amazing that a pregnant lady could bounce around the stage like Alice did. She's Alice I wouldn't have expected anything less from her.
"Alright, give it up for our next participant…Edward Cullen." the announcer said.
Edward looked over at me. I laughed.
"Go Eddie! Show those ladies what you're made of." I said sarcastically. He sighed as he dragged himself to the stage.
I watched as the announcer whispered Edward's song into his ear and his eyes lit up. He shot his head over to the table. He mouthed 'I'm gonna kill you.' To Emmett causing him to laugh.
"Emmett, Alice what did you guys choose for him?" I asked. I looked back and forth between Alice and Emmett.
"Emmett chose Edward's song." Alice blamed as she pointed to him innocently.
"Oh just you wait Bella." He said with a smirk on his face.
I glanced up at the stage and the music started play.
"Can anybody find me somebody to love?
Each morning I get up I die a little
Can barely stand on my feet
Take a look in the mirror and cry
Lord what you're doing to me
I have spent all my years in believing you
But I just can't get no relief,
Lord!
Somebody, somebody
Can anybody find me somebody to love?"
I chuckled a little listening to Edward sing "Somebody to Love" by Queen. He looked so upset with Emmett's song choice. The song was a little ironic though. Here we were at the karaoke bar celebrating Edward's newly found singleness and he was singing a song about finding someone to love.
"I work hard every day of my life
I work till I ache my bones
At the end I take home my hard earned pay all on my own -
I get down on my knees
And I start to pray
Till the tears run down from my eyes
Lord - somebody - somebody
Can anybody find me - somebody to love?"
He quickly finished the song and we gave him a round of applause.
"Emmett McCarty, I hate you! That was your doing." he yelled as he took a seat at the table again, right next to me. I handed him the drink I ordered him while he was singing.
"Thanks, Bella. You rock." he said taking a drink.
"Oh, it's Bella's turn soon!" Alice chimed.
"Don't forget, Emmett!" I spat back.
"Oh don't worry your little heart, Bella." Emmett assured me.
"Up next we have Mr. Emmett McCarty." The announcer said. Emmett took a drink and ran up to the stage. The beginning chords started to play and I quickly recognized the tune. It was "Me and Mrs. Jones", one of Emmett's favorite songs. I should've known.
Me and Mrs. Jones, we got a thing going on
We both know that it's wrong
But it's much too strong to let it go now
We meet ev'ry day at the same cafe
Six-thirty I know she'll be there
Holding hands, making all kinds of plans
While the jukebox plays our favorite song
Me and Mrs., Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones
We got a thing going on
We both know that it's wrong
But it's much too strong to let it go now."
The entire song Emmett was singing, using the microphone stand as a prop. He got the entire room singing the chorus along with him, especially the "Me and Mrs. Mrs. Jones" part. He jumped off the stage and walked back over.
"Cheers to Emmett!" Jasper said handing Emmett a beer and raising a glass. We all followed suit and our glasses met in the center.
"Cheers to Edward Anthony Cullen being a single man again!" Emmett boomed, causing Edward to blush.
"Last but not least we have Ms. Bella Swan." the announcer said. I looked around at the table at my friends.
"Bella, I chose this one just for you!" Alice exclaimed as she pulled me up to the stage. She practically pushed me into the announcer.
"You're Bella Swan?" he whispered.
"I am." I said as I nodded my head.
"Great you're singing 'Dirty Little Secret' by All American Rejects." he said.
"Are you kidding me?" I scoffed.
"Sorry to say it hun, get going." he added, pushing me to the center of the stage. I looked out into the crowd. It wasn't that bad. Most of the people were drunk by now. All the way in the back was the table we were sitting at.
Rosalie and Emmett were shamelessly flirting with each other. Jasper was trying to contain Alice who was animatedly clapping her hands while jumping up and down in her chair. Edward just had this amused look on his face.
I placed the microphone on stand.
"Alice Whitlock, you are pure evil. I don't know where you got the idea for this song, but whatever. Here it goes. I'm dedicated this to you, Ali!" I said. She squealed and clapped her hands
"Go Bella!" her voice rang throughout the room.
The opening guitar riffs of the song started to play. I took a deep breath and started to sing.
"Let me know that I've done wrong
When I've known this all along
I go around a time or two
Just to waste my time with you"
I had to make the best of it. I started to tap my foot to the beat, my head occasionally bopped up and down.
"Tell me all that you've thrown away
Find out games you don't wanna play
You are the only one that needs to know"
Then it hit me. What was Alice trying to tell me? I looked out at her in the crowd. She had a smirk on her face. She thought she knew, she thought she could get me to confess. I wasn't going to break that easy.
"I'll keep you my dirty little secret (dirty little secret)
Don't tell anyone
Or you'll be just another regret (just another regret)
Hope that you can keep it
My dirty little secret
Who has to know?"
I quickly finished the song and ran back to the table.
"Bella, that was amazing!" Emmett's voice rang as he swooped me in for a hug.
"Thanks, Em." I looked across the table at Edward. He had a smirk on his face.
What was he thinking?
"Yeah Bella, that was really good. I hope you liked the song choice." Alice smirked.
I turned my head towards her direction.
"It was a good choice, Alice. Good choice." I said taking my seat next to Edward. He placed a shot of tequila in front of me.
"I thought you might need it." he whispered. I looked over at him, he had a lime and a salt shaker in his hand.
I smiled. "You are a life saver, Edward Cullen."
I took the salt shaker from his hand, sprinkled a little on my hand. He handed me the tequila shot. I took it from him, quickly licked the salt off my hand, put the glass to my lips and tipped the glass back. The stinging sensation of the tequila burned my throat.
"Your face is priceless, Bella!" Emmett boomed. I shot him a death glare and took the lime from Edward, placing it in my mouth.
"Bella, be careful with that shot glass. We don't want a repeat of that night in college." Jasper said.
What the hell was up with everyone reminding me of that damn night!?
"Ha-ha, very funny Jasper Whitlock." I said as I rolled my eyes at him.
"I'll be you dirty little secret any day, Bella." Edward whispered in my ear. It was so low, if his lips were directly over my ear I wouldn't have heard it. The feel of his breath blowing into my ear sent shivers down my spine.
"Secrets don't make friends!" Alice exclaimed, pouting crossing her arms across her chest.
