Chapter 7 ... Awkward Silences

Bella P.O.V

I was getting immensely agitated. It was silent, not a comfortable silence either but an awkward one.

Edward just kept shifting in his seat and stealing glances at me. To be perfectly honest I was getting worried about my life; he was driving like a maniac and didn't always have full attention on the road.

I tightened my grip on the edge of the seat and this didn't go unnoticed as Edward chuckled.

"Scared?" he raised an eyebrow.

I snorted. "Duh. You drive like a fricken' psychopath!"

He laughed aloud and shook his head just as he drove into the Hale residence.

He sat there for a moment, his hands tight on the wheel to the point his knuckles were white. I didn't feel right to move, I knew it was rude since I guessed he wanted to talk. No matter my sworn hatred for him, my parents brought me up better.

He sighed and turned to me. I watched as his green eyes looked deep into me.

"You know," he cleared his throat, I nodded for him to continue. "For mortal enemies we sure spend alot of time together"

I rolled my eyes. "The point, Edward?"

He slumped. "I was thinking we could try be friends... for the sake of the guys"

That was all it took for me to burst into fits of laughter which didn't subside for a few moments. I took a glance at Edward, still chuckling to see his eyes unamused and full of hurt.

"Oh," I started. "You were s-serious?"

He huffed and shook his head, angrily. "You know what Bella, it doesn't even matter" he growled as he got out and slammed his door. I sat back confused and jumped three feet when the passenger door opened.

Edward stood there, still looking mad but awaiting me to exit the car. For someone so mad you wouldn't expect courtesy, chivalry but I mustn't forget his true being.

"Are you coming out?" he questioned. I snapped out of my daze and climbed out muttering a thank you.

I burst through the Hale's front door, Edward behind me.

"Honey we're home!" Edward sang and I snickered.

We walked into the kitchen to find the happy couples sitting around the table. They were having a heated discussion in hushed whispers but stopped when they saw us.

I raised my eyebrows in suspicion but was met by Alice's innocent face.

"I made organic lemonade and free range egg omelette" she smiled.

Rose P.O.V (I'm going to do all the schemes in Rose's P.O.V since she's not crazy like Emm and Alice but not mellow like Jasper, she's Switzerland! she doesn't think the plot is wrong but not right either, she just wants Bella happy.)

I sat back as Alice, Jasper and Emmett squabbled.

Jasper was not happy, he was actually unbelievably mad not at Alice –oh never at innocent Alice (sarcasm)- but at her idea.

He told us many a-time never to meddle in other's lives, but we never listened. I was partly siding with Jasper but I oh-so-badly wanted to see Bells happy. And a guy was the way to do that, but how?

How on earth would we ever make Bella agree to give them a chance?

I have no effing clue, that's what.

Of course Emmett and Alice –the oh-so innocent and sweet McCarty twins- had numerous of melodramatic thoughts.

The best so far was a game of truth and dare and somehow getting Bella to agree –to a dare- of accepting all dates for a month.

I of course thought of this idea, not crazy schemes of rigging her truck making her crash her car accidently into the guys. Or Alice's of drugging her coffee or locking her in a room with them until she agreed. Or even as dramatic as holding a knife to her throat until she complied –Obviously Emmett's in-genius idea, pft- these were unbelievably stupid.

Just as the argument got even more heated like some debate for America's welfare we heard the distinctive voice of Edward call out.

"Honey we're home!"

I groaned, leaning forward to speak. "Okay bitches we're gonna have to cut this short" I ordered like I owned their sorry asses.

Of course Jasper had always seemed to be the one in charge, with his raging charisma or way of understanding, or maybe it was his kick-ass wrestling skills. Damn, he could even beat my teddy bears ass!...this is Emmett of course.

Bella and Edward... oops I mean... Juliet and Adonis came into view. I was slightly worried Emmett gave Edward that name but he reassured me it was what all the girls called him at school not a secret crush he had on Adonis.

Alice stood up trying to act all sweet and deceive them.

"Guess what!" Alice sand as we all sat down.

She startled me so I ended up tossing my coffee on Emmett.

"Shit!" we said in unison as he wiped the scorning hot liquid from his crotch.

He wiped himself down then sat in the stool once again waiting for Alice to continue.

I couldn't help but feel smug, "Oops. Sorry Sex Machine" I smiled using his self given code name.

He smirked. "It's fine... tits."

I glared, sex ban it is, Emmett. If I can hold of this time...

Bella P.O.V

I giggled as I watched the passing between Emmett and Rose, I couldn't understand the emphasis on the names but I couldn't deny the hilarity of the conversation.

Alice cleared her throat and I looked back at her.

"I, Alice McCarty. Have made. The ultimate. Fun-genda!" Alice chirped.

(A/N got this from Sonny with a chance)

I groaned, along with the others apart from Jasper who was willing to do anything for Alice and Emmett who was almost as hyper as his crazy sister. Not another one.

"We will do the list of activities. First we will be playing hide and seek, because it's fun, I don't care if it's childish." She growled in warning.

Thank goodness I was only staying another night.

"Second we will watch a comedy, have dinner then Third we will play charades and fourth truth or dares finished with a scary movie and bed" she grinned.

My heart dropped at the prospect of dares and a scary movie my worst nightmare!

"Yes!" Emmett shouted. "You all have five minutes, run!" he screamed, counting.

I knew the rules stay on the Hale's patch of land. I hate this game.

Rose ran towards the garage, were she was usually found. Alice upstairs, Jasper out the door and I into the kitchen.

I ran from the kitchen and into the pantry. It was pith black as I froze still.

I kept my breaths quiet, I feel like such a loser. A five year old loser.

The pantry door opened and my breath stopped, it wasn't five minutes already?

I breathed a sigh of realise when I saw a mop of bronze.

He glanced at me and jumped. "Jesus, Bella you scared ths hit out of me"

I laughed, smug that I had.

"Ready or not here I come!" Emmet yelled from somewhere.

I heard his footsteps booming towards the kitchen and Edward closed the pantry door.

We were surrounded in pitch black.

"get out Edward" I whisper-yelled as the footsteps neared the pantry door but instead Edward grabbed me.

He pulled me under a metal shelf and behind baskets of pasta.

My breathing hitched as he lay above me. He rested on his forearms his lips inches away. He began to lean forward.

Slam!

"Gotcha!" Emmett yelled. "Or not..." he mumbled. At first I thought he'd seen us but he hadn't, frowning he exited.

I giggled under Edward as he chuckled.

"Emmett is such a stupid ass" I whispered in his ear and he laughed.

He just lay above me for what seemed like another half a hour.

After awhile we heard the other call our names, Emmett cursing about having to give up.

We exited the pantry and Emmett glared.

"I knew you two were in there!" he whined and I snickered.

"Comedy!" Alice yelled.

We found ourselves watching some stupid lame comedy before having a lovely meal of spaghetti meatballs, wait sorry... organic vegetarian meatballs Alice said.

I just dreaded the next event, I am awful at charades.

I know it was kinda short but I thought it was kool? Reveiw please, they make me happy!
