Bellas point of view
The next night.
I pulled into Edwards driveway at about 9:00pm. He jogged out and got in the passenger side of my car.
"Hello, love." He said and kissed my lips. Oh, how I loved the feeling of his lips on mine...
When he pulled away I started the car and drove off down the road. I was driving because he didnt know where Emmett lived.
"Nice pjs." I said. He was wearing black and red checkered pj bottoms and a black tank top. His muscles were so toned and fine, big too....
"Thanks. I like yours too." He chuckled and put his hand on my knee. Mine were dark purple bottoms with white smiley faces all over them, and a white tank top.
"Why thank you." I laughed and twisted my fingers with his.
"So where does Emmett live?" He asked.
"About 30 minutes away, close to the college campus." I said looking out the window.
"Good, I have time to ask you questions."
I glanced up at him and back to the road.
"About what?"
"Anything. I want to know everything about you."
"Then we have something in common." I sighed.
"Ladies first."
"Hmm. Tell me something about you personally."
He took a deep breath and looked like he was dabating something with himself.
"I have a really bad anger issue."
"I noticed that. Last year, and the year before." I chuckled. He playfully nudged my shoulder.
"I won every fight didnt I?" He laughed.
"My macho man." I said in a deep voice.
"Seriously though, I do. I dont ever want to get like that in front of you, or with you for that matter. But, I doubt you could do anything to make me angry with you."
I nodded and turned down an intersection.
"Can I ask something now?" He asked.
"You just did. but go ahead anyway." I laughed.
"Tell me about your asthma."
My gaze stayed on the road.
"What about it?"
"Well, you said that you had to take medicine everyday?"
"Yes, I do. Charlie is trying to work something out so I only have to take one pill a month. Something like that." I shrugged.
"You also said you havent had an attack since you were 10. What causes these attacks?"
"Isnt is my turn?" I laughed. He shrugged.
"I dont get them from running or exercising, stuff like that. Going out of breath is fine. But if a chemical, or smoke, dust, etc. Happens to get in my lungs then I cant breathe."
He winced slightly and his grip on my hand went tighter.
"My turn?" I asked. He nodded mutely.
"What are you afraid of?"
"Nothing in the literal since. The only thing im afraid of is you."
I almost swerved the car.
"What? Me?" I stuttered.
"Bella, sweetie, you scare me with our relationship. I feel so much at once for you - all good things - and it honestly scares the shit out of me. Im afraid of touching you, being close to you, and being myself around you because I feel as though im not good enough for you. Im not good at any of this Bella, I have no experience. Nothing. Im learning as we go along. Theres only one thing that im sure of and that is you. I love you."
I smiled and kissed his hand like he did mine a few days ago.
"I love you too." He kissed my hair.
After a few minutes of silence he broke it with another question.
"Did you ever play an instrument?"
I chuckled bitterly.
"Yes. The clarinet, all through middle school."
"Hmm. Why did you quit?"
"I have absolutely no musical talent."
"I highly doubt that." He said eyeing me.
"No im really serious I played for 3 dang years and I sucked big time. Always last chair, I was going to follow through and do it in high school too. But, I felt so awful being last chair. I wasnt good enough to keep on playing it."
"What was your favorite piece to play?"
"Lux Prima." I said.
"Come, my soul, thou must be awakening." He nodded knowingly. I looked up at him and smiled.
"How'd you know?"
"I know my music." He shrugged.
We were about 2 minutes away from Emmetts appartment when Edward started chuckling out of nowhere?
"What?" I asked feeling self conscious.
"Squidward."
"Thats not funny!"
"He plays the clarinet too you know."
"Shut it."
"My little Squidward." He cooed. I pulled into a parking lot and got out.
I started walking up to the appartment leaving Edward behind.
A strong warm arm caught me around the waist and spun me into him.
"Im sorry. I wasnt making fun of you-"
"Yes you were!"
"Sweetheart, I was not. It was kind of funny, thats all."
I hmmphed and crossed my arms over my chest. He uncrossed them with his damn strength and wrapped his arms around me tightly holding me to his chest.
I rested my head on his chest and breathed in his scent. He smelt so gooooood.
I shivered a few minutes later and he started walking us upstairs.
"We should get in before you get sick."
I rolled my eyes and led him to Emmetts place. We knocked on the door and Alice opened it smiling.
"Bella and Edward are here! Time to part-tay!" Rose sang. I laughed and pulled Edward inside.
All the boys immediatly started talking to each other.
Lately Edward has gotten really close with Em and Jazz, for which I am thankful. They both told me they thought Edward was great for me and they really liked him alot.
Edward always talked with them, so I call that a good sign.
I guess it was a challenge or something between him and Emmett.
Emmett would say something stupid that he thought was funny. Then Edward would throw some smarty comeback at him. They could go on like this for hours. Till finally Jasper cut in and Edward and him both beat Emmett.
"Boys." Rosalie scoffed.
"Actually were men." Jasper said. Emmett and Edward nodded along.
"Right..." Alice and I said dragging out the word.
"We call couch!" I called out.
"Damnit." Rosalie muttered.
"Alice is so tin that we will take the recliner." Jasper chuckled.
"We get the floor babe." Emmett sighed.
"Ah damn." She said again.
"Thats what ya get for making me sleep on the floor all these years." I giggled and layed a blanket on the couch.
"Well that was before, now you have someone to sleep with!" Alice chirped.
"Shes sleeping with him!?" Emmett yelled.
I turned around and threw a pillow at him.
"No Emmett, im not sleeping with him." I laughed.
"Well techinically you are." Jasper chuckled.
"OK yeah." I addmitted.
"So you are?!" Emmett yelled again.
"Shut it moron!" Alice screached at him.
"Ow." He groaned and pretended to clear his ears out.
"Idiots." Rose murmered.
I looked over at Edward and sighed.
"I need new friends." I said. He chuckled and smiled at me.
"Pizza." I said. They all looked at me like I was nuts.
"Huh?" Edward asked.
"I. Want. Pizza. Bella. Is. Hungy." I said prounoucing each word carefully and slowly.
"Oh." They all nodded along happily.
"Hawaiin for me." I chirped and collapsed on the couch.
Edward came over and pulled me into his lap.
"I'll share with Bella." He said.
"Kk." Alice bounced and started dialing the number to Pizza Hut.
She talked so fast on the phone, I didnt even understand what she said.
"What did she say?" Edward asked in my ear.
"I dont know." I whispered back shrugging.
"Alice you talked so fast, hes not going to get our order right." Jasper sighed.
"But Jazz he said he got it all." She pouted. He kissed her cheek and chuckled slightly.
"Ok, but if I get some sort of shit on my pizza-" Emmett started.
"Oh come on! What are you going to do?" Alice asked menacingly and stepped towards him. HE backed up and grinned nervously at her.
"Nothing pix."
"Thats what I thought." SHe smiled and plopped down in the recliner.
"About those new friends..." Edward whispered in my ear. I slapped him playfully.
"Just kidding." He chuckled and kissed my lips. I put my hands on his face and closed my eyes kissing him harder. We fell into a laying position and he tangled his hands in my hair.
We forgot that everyone was there till someone loudly cleared there throat.
I looked up and saw Emmett wiggling his eyebrows at us.
"There is a room in the back, just please dont do it in front of us." He scolded playfully.
I sat up and moved away from Edward sheepishly. He also sat up and ran his hand through his hair a few times.
"Aw look their all flustered." Rose cooed. Edward and I looked at each other and laughed.
He wrapped his arm around my shoulder and I leaned into him.
"Im afraid to turn the lights off when the movie comes on." Jasper whispered to Emmett.
"Uh! Stop!" I groaned.
"Do you think thats what she'd be saying if we didnt interupt them?" Alice giggled.
"Just replace 'stop' with 'yes'." Rose said.
"Oh my god!" I yelled and walked outside.
Edward followed me out chuckling slightly.
I slid down the wall and sat on my butt.
"I hate them." I groaned and placed my face in my hands.
Edward sat down beside me and laughed.
I glared at him.
"Bella, they were just teasing you. Dont worry you'll get them back." He said smiling.
Alice peeked her head out and sheepishly smiled.
"Bells were sorry. We will stop. Just dont leave everything is always much funner with you around."
"Gee thanks." I said sarcastically. Edward pulled me up by my hand and walked me back inside.
