I Do Not Own Twilight or the characters!
A/N at end.
BPOV
The week following dinner at the Cullen's with my dad went by uneventful. Did the usual hanging out with the gang, went out on the lake, and stayed with Edward Saturday night. This week however, it was a fucking long week at the pool. It was like every fucking kid in the whole town decided to come torture us and wreck havoc on the pool. I swear at one point during the day we had a line of kids sitting in time out along the fence because they used their three strikes. It wasn't just me PMS'ing with my mood swings or something, even the guy guards were ripping their hair out. Then to put to icing on the cake of one fuck crazy week, some hill jack mother let her infant child into the pool with no swim diaper and the baby shit in the pool. WHAT THE FUCK?! Do you know what that means? I had to evacuate the pool, close it down, and shock the water. Shocking the water just sucks because you have to constantly check the pH levels and make sure the water is filtering properly in the area. Sure, it was nice to close the pool down early Friday afternoon, but it just sucks to have to clean that shit up, pun intended.
After clearing out the patrons, cashing the register out, and cleaning the contaminated area, I sat in the office filing paper work.
"Hey!" Edward's voice filtered into the office, making me smile. "I just got your message." I had text Edward earlier before the incident happened and told him about the day from hell and that I couldn't wait to see him tonight.
"Hey. Not that I'm complaining, but what are you doing here?" I asked standing up and wrapping my arms around him.
"I just figured you might be able to get a quick break and I brought you an Icee. What's going on, why is this place closed?" He handed me the cherry flavored drink.
"Ugh." I took a slow sip of the Icee, so I didn't get a brain freeze, and then told him what happened.
"Oh, goodie. It's only two o'clock and we have a full day still ahead of us." Edward rubbed my back, which was thankfully healed of the sunburn.
"Yay." I said sarcastically because really I was just looking forward to going home and relaxing.
"What's the matter?" Edward looked upset, now.
"I really just want to go home. I mean, we can go out. I'll be fine." I kind of felt like a bitch now, Edward looked so disappointed.
"Bella, if you don't want to do something just tell me, I'm not mad. I can tell that you feel bad because I want to go out. I just miss you and as long as I get to hang out with you everything will be fine."
"So, is it okay if we just go to my house and watch TV? Pick up some food from Pizza Bill's?" I asked. God, some nachos sounded good right now.
"That's fine. Do you want to pick up some movies?" He asked.
"To be honest, no. I just want to swing by to get the food and go home."
"Okay. You ready?"
"Not yet. I have to check the water, again, then we can leave." I gave him a quick kiss then finished up my duties. After I was done, I called to place our order, locked up the doors, and headed to the Jeep.
"Hey, why don't you just ride with me? We can get your car later or something." Edward asked.
"Alright." I was tired and as much as I hated riding in Edward's car, I couldn't say no. It wasn't that I hated Edward's car, it was just too pretty and if we are being honest he is so anal retentive about keeping it in its pristine condition, that I didn't want to get a speck of dust in it. That's we drive my Jeep most of the time. I mean, I keep my car clean but I wasn't afraid to get it dirty, it can always be cleaned. Edward opened the door for me and I gentle sat in the fine leather seats, keeping my hands to myself. Edward got in and headed downtown to pick up our food. "What kind of car is this anyway? I know that it is a BMW but what else is there to know about it?" I asked.
"Oh, well it's a seven fifty 'L' 'i.' I had the exterior painted a custom color, azurite black metallic, as well as customized the interior to all black trim and leather seats. She has a 'V' eight engine…." At that point I might have stopped listening because I knew he was about to go on and on about his customizations to the car and the beginning information was all I needed. Once we pulled into a parking spot at Pizza Bill's, we got out to pick up our food, then headed to my house.
I grabbed plates and drinks for us, as Edward set all the food on the coffee table in the living room, and chose something to watch on the tube. I didn't even bother putting my nachos on a plate, I just dug right in, and Edward gave me a funny look when I stuffed my mouth.
"What?" I mumbled.
"Did you just pay like five dollars for those nachos, when you could have just made them here for half the price?"
"Uh, yes. Believe me, no one can get nachos to taste like Pizza Bill's except Pizza Bill's. There has been many a test to try but always have failed." I said.
"Bella, they are corn chips with melted shredded cheese on them and by the looks of it, they were just put in the microwave. Hardly a difficult snack to make."
"That is how they are made but I swear they put some magic fairy dust or something else on them because they are delicious and nothing can come close to being the same." I mumbled again, as I shoved more nacho chips into my mouth.
"Right." He said and unwrapped his Stromboli sandwich. I nearly devoured the entire tray of nachos and then sat back to eat my chef's salad with turkey and ham. We were watching some nonsense show of River Monsters, when my cell phone rang, signaling a new text message.
Drive-In tomorrow night? It was from Jake.
Let me get back to you in a minute. I'll ask Edward.
"Hey. Wanna go to the Drive-In tomorrow night. I think everybody is getting together." I asked Edward pulling his attention from the ugly looking fish on the TV.
"Sure. What's the Drive-In though?"
"Really? Have you not driven all the way up Michigan Street?"
"No, I haven't had a need to."
"Oh, well, it's an outdoor movie theatre, you sit in your car or outside. It's so much fun and we could even do Putt-Putt golf before the show starts. Actually, tomorrow will be Dusk til' Dawn night." I said.
"Okay, so it's like that one part in Grease where Danny tries to feel up Sandy?"
"Yes, it is exactly like that." I laughed.
"I'm all in. So, I take it that we will be there all night and into the early morning?"
"Yes."
I text Jake back and told him that we were going. I cleaned up the mess after we were done eating and settled on the couch watching the Discovery channel.

"Bella." I heard my Dad calling my name and a gentle tapping on my shoulder. I slowly opened my eyes and my Dad was staring at me.
"Yea?" I asked sleepily.
"Um, sorry to wake you but James called and said that you need to make sure the pool is filtering okay after you shocked it this afternoon."
"Oh, okay." Then I realized where I was and that I had fallen asleep watching TV with Edward. I looked around for a minute, noticing that Edward and I both were sleeping, and he was lying on his back and I was settled in between his legs on my back. I quickly sat up and accidentally grinded my elbow into Edward's thigh as I was sitting up.
"Ow, fuck that hurt." Edward's eyes popped open and he began rubbing the spot.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do that." I turned around and began messaging the same spot.
"Uh, well, I'm gonna grab a beer." My Dad said and left the room.
"Sorry, Charlie. I didn't mean to drop the f-bomb but that hurt when she dug her elbow into me." Edward shouted out.
"It's alright, Edward. I would hate to wake up the way you just did." My Dad chuckled coming back into the living room and sitting in his recliner. "River Monsters, huh? I love this show."
"Are kidding me? That fucking show is still on." I groaned.
"Bells, language." Dad shook his head in disapproval at me.
"Yea, yea. Mind taking me back to the pool?" I asked Edward.
"No."
I ran up to the bathroom to freshen up a bit then Edward drove me back to the pool. We had slept for a few hours and it felt nice to take nap. Edward came in with me to test the water again and I deemed it safe to swim in, so we wouldn't have to keep it closed tomorrow, not that I had to work. Edward followed me back to my house, I taught him how to make pork chops and mashed potatoes, then it was getting late, and we said goodnight.

I got early the next morning, taking a shower, then called Alice and Rose to see if they wanted to go to the store with me and get snacks for tonight. They agreed to meet me at my house in thirty minutes, so I had enough time to eat a bowl of Special K with strawberries and drink a cup of coffee. Edward text me and asked if he could come over and I told him what my plans were and that we would see each other later in the afternoon. I am sure he was disappointed but I needed my girl time, too. I have enjoyed spending all of my free time with Edward, lately but it was slightly coming to be too much and before I got aggravated with him, I needed the day with Alice and Rose. I knew my limits when it came to spending too much time with boyfriends and I didn't want to do something irrational because Edward was becoming too clingy. We girls would always spend more time together when it was coming close to that time of the month because we were all moody since we had the same cycle, so we might as well direct it one another then everyone else.
"I am going to kill, Jazz." Alice yelled, as her and Rose walked into my house.
"What did he do?" I asked not really sure if I wanted to know.
"He left a pair of his shoes my room, I tripped over them, then stubbed my toe on my dresser." Alice yelled.
"First of all, you need to pipe down. Second, you stubbed your toe, yea it fuckin' hurts but get over it all ready. Thirdly, don't kill him because you weren't paying attention to where you were walking." Rose calmly told Alice.
"Yea, well it wasn't just a stubbed toe, I actually chipped my nail, look at it. I look like a freak now." She whined.
I looked at it and there was kind of a big chip, but not enough to make her look a freak. She was always so dramatic when we were PMS'ing, I swear.
"Anyway, let's get going." I said and we left to the store.
We decided that it was easiest if we just made cold cut sandwiches to pack, so we loaded our cart with all the ingredients, case of bottle water, case of pop, chips, and sweets. It probably wasn't the best idea for us to be at the store in our condition because we basically loaded the cart with chocolate everything. We dropped the groceries off at my house and decided to go eat lunch at the Chinese buffet.
"So how are things going with Edward?" Alice asked me when we were setting, after filling out plates.
"I told you that I wasn't going to discuss this with you guys anymore." I replied.
"Come on. Bella. You guys have been dating for like a month now and you haven't given us one detail about anything." Alice whined. I took a bite of my broccoli and thought for a minute. I know I said that I didn't want to tell those things anymore but really, I was starting to feel emotional and needed to talk to my girls.
"Fine. Things are great. I mean really great. Edward is really caring, attentive, a tad clingy, but I am happy." I gushed.
"Don't forget he makes you scream in the sack." Rose chimed in.
"Roooose." I was whining now.
"Oh? That good, huh?" Alice asked, raising an eyebrow at me.
"I might as well just lay it all out there now. Yes, he is amazing. After spending the weekends with him I need a week break to recover. And he has been making it extremely hard to stay away from him during the week, lately." I giggled and the girls joined in.
"So, why do you stay away if it's that good?" Alice asked. Rose pretty much knew why.
"It was kind of his idea, but it was only because he didn't want me too tired for work during the week. He insists that I go home and get my rest and that we have the weekend to be together. I think it is a really good idea. It, also, won't make me so dependent on him when we go back to school, which are only a few weeks away. I am not looking forward to being away from him, but I think things will work out okay."
"You're right, I didn't even think about that. Now, I am really thankful that Jasper goes to the same school as we do. How about you, Rose? How are you going to handle being away from Emmett?" Alice asked.
We talked for a while before Edward text me and asked if I was home. I let him know that we were still out and that we were going back to my house to hang out for a while and that I would see him in a few hours. We went back to my house, ate some ice cream, and watched Platinum Weddings for a few hours. Around six we started making the sandwiches and getting the coolers packed, everyone was meeting here at my house around seven. I grabbed a few blankets from my room, the camping chairs from the garage, and put them on the porch so the guys could load everything in the back of my Jeep. Just then Edward and Emmett pulled into the driveway. Emmett had practice until three this afternoon, so I was happy to see that he wasn't too tired to come out with us tonight.
Edward jumped down from the behemoth Wrangler and I meet him halfway. I did miss him. He opened his arms to me and I gladly went to him, wrapping my arms around his neck. He bent down and gave me a smoldering kiss.
"Alright, you two, it's been thirty seconds since we pulled up and you are already making out in the front yard where everyone can see." Emmett shouted.
We broke apart but not before I gave Edward another quick peck, then flipped Emmett the bird.
"How was your day with the girls?" Edward asked, still hugging me to him.
"It was good. I need some time with them."
"Good. Are we ready to go? I'm excited to see what this Drive-In is all about."
"Yea, I just need you guys to pack up the stuff on the porch, then the rest of the crew should be here." We walked up to the house and Emmett already had one cooler in hand, then Edward grabbed the other. I took the rest of the things to the Jeep and we were ready to go, and just then Jake pulled up with Leah, Jared, Jasper, Ben, and Angela.
We had all came to an agreement on what we were watching on the way there, deciding on Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs, Public Enemies, The Ugly Truth, and Old School. Once we got there, since we all had large vehicles, we had to park in the back row so the little cars could see the screen too. Jake and I parked so that the rears of our cars were facing the screen and Emmett parked in between us, since his top was off and we could tune his radio to the station we needed for the movie audio. We set everything out and I pushed all the back seats down, making a make-shift bed with the blankets and a few pillows. Jake brought his air mattress to blow up for the back of his truck, like he always did, and Edward and Emmett looked at him like he was crazy.
"You guys really get into this, don't you?" Edward asked me.
"Well, do you want to sit in these chairs to watch four movies?" I said and pointed at the camping chairs.
"I don't know. I guess not." He shrugged his shoulders and I handed him the mosquito spray. "What's this for?"
"Mosquito's. In about half hour they will be eating us alive if we don't put that on. Seriously, babe, I thought you would have figured that out." I teased.
"Bella, shouldn't they fog the grounds to control them? That would seem pretty logical with all the people that come here."
"They do but we are surrounded by woods, it doesn't control them that well. Just put the damn spray on." I grabbed the bottle back from him. "I'll do it. Close your mouth and eyes." I demanded. I shook the can and then sprayed him from head to toe, front and back. Then the line started, so that I could spray everyone down.
"Ah, ah, ah. Shit that burns." Rose stared jumping up and down.
"That's what you get for shaving this morning and wearing shorts out here. Really, Rose, did you not think about that?" I asked and swiped one more spray down her legs just to make her yelp again.
"Bitch." She swatted my ass, taking the bottle away from me and spraying me down.
"Okay, all set. Let's go." I said and we girls grabbed money from our purses.
"Where are you going?" Emmett asked.
"Popcorn." Rose replied as we started to walk away.
"We have a cooler full of food and snack and you are going to get popcorn."
"Uh, yea. We can't watch a movie without popcorn and M&M's. Where did you guys come from?" Alice said in mock disgust and we went to stand in line at the concession stand. We came out of there with three large tubs of popcorn, we remembered to buy peanut M&M's at the store when we went, so all we had to do was pour the candy into our buckets. Everyone else was eating some of the food we packed but we girls always started with the popcorn mix, Leah even joined us. The sun was setting and the previews began to roll. I loved the fact that in all the years that I have been coming here, they still played the same old concession stand commercials at the beginning of the previews. Telling us to support the concession stand because that is how the Drive-In makes their money. After we had finished half of the buckets of the popcorn mix, we passed it on to the guys, they always got the leftovers.
"Man, I can't believe I have been missing this all my life." Edward managed to say through his full mouth.
"That's not even going to be the best part of the night." I patted his knee and smiled.
"I certainly hope not." He grinned back at me.
"Sick. We are trying to enjoy some PG rated family time here and you guys are talking dirty already." Jake gagged.
"Shut it. I wasn't talking dirty. Edward just has his mind in the gutter." I grinned back at Edward.
The movie started with the squirrel trying to get his acorn like all the rest of them. Edward got up to get a water and a sandwich, and I asked him to get me a Mountain Dew from the cooler. If I was going to load myself with sweets, then I might as well choose the worse pop on the planet to drink, right?
For being a kid's movie, Ice Age had some humor for adults too, and all of us could not stop laughing when the animals had to go through the laughing gas. After the movie, we took our bathroom breaks, and us girls once again stood in line for the best part of the night(what I was referring to when Edward's mind went to the gutter). We walked back with our treats and once again, Edward and Emmett didn't know what to say, and shook their heads.
"Why did you even bother to bring snacks if you were just going to buy food here?" Edward asked as I sat in his lap.
"Don't tell me that this sliced Granny Smith apple, covered in caramel, whip cream, and peanuts doesn't look good absolutely delectable." I took one of the slices and brought up to Edward's mouth. He opened up and I let him take a bite, he closed his eyes and I knew he was going to be hooked.
"Mmmm…that is tasty." He said grabbing another slice for himself. We shared the apple before Public Enemies started.
That last bit of sugar put me over the edge and I thought I was going to be sick. I grabbed a water, hoping to feel better, and asked Edward to lay down with me in back of the Jeep and watch the movie. We got comfortable so we could see the screen, lying on our sides, his chest to my back, and his hand resting on my hip. We stayed laid like that nearly the entire time, only moving when I scooted closer to him and he wrapped his arms around me. When the movie was done, we took another bathroom break but bought no more snacks. We watched the rest of the movies the same way but when Old School came on, all of the guys were quoting it left and right. Sure, I knew all the good quotes too but those guys could probably re-enact the entire movie without a problem. It was nearly four in the morning when Old School was finished and all of us were exhausted. We pack up our things, Jasper and Alice rode with me and Edward, so Alice could get her car, and Edward was staying the night with me.
I was really hoping to get some sexy times with Edward but it just wasn't going to happen. I was too tired after I wash my face and changed into my pj's. Edward was already lying in bed looking just as tired, so we cuddled and fell asleep within minutes. I would get him over to his house for some fun, tomorrow.
A/N: There you have it. Sorry, it took so long but I have jumped on the band wagon, joined Twitter, and have been completely enthralled by it. You can follow me booty492. Also, check out my blog, it has some pictures of Plymouth and will soon have pictures of the girls dresses for the cocktail party. A couple rec's for you: Master of the Universe by Snowqueens Icedragon, this is a D/s story with some angst, but so good. Clipped Wings and Inked Armor by hunterhunting, TATTWARD, that's all I need to say. Thanks for reading. Please review(even if it is just to say hi).
With the devastation in Haiti, MsKathy has started a Haiti Relief Twi FanFic Compilation fundraiser. Donate at least $5, send her the receipt, and you will be sent a compilation of one-shots from various authors. It started with just MsKathy's Twitter followers but has now expanded to over 100 authors and as of 1/17 has raised over $23,000 from our very own Twilight fandom. That is incredible. You can head over to her site and find out more information and a list of charities to donate to. I donated to Doctors without Borders but there are so many out there that need all the help they can get. http://mskathyff(dot)blogspot(dot)com/search/label/donationsObviously replace the(dot) with a period.
