PPS: For those that had reviewed and I haven't replied...I'm sorry. FFs failure confused me and in the end, I answered onyl a few of you. Just know that I treasure every review. Keep them coming!
When we returned to his house, Edward was beet red and scowling at me. It hadn't been my fault I couldn't take that blasted thing off him. We needed Paula's help and our little banter had caused him to harden and when Paula saw his bulge, she started making remarks about how hot he was.
"I'm sorry!" I whispered again.
"If you'd wipe that fucking smile off your face, I may listen to you, Swan," he snapped and slammed the door behind us. "ALICE!" he shouted, advancing to the kitchen.
I heard her saying something about the costumes then she screeched. What was he doing to her?
"You are so dead!"
"I thought it was a good idea," she said loudly.
When I entered the kitchen, I saw Emmett, Elizabeth and Esme carving pumpkins while Alice was backed in the counter, her little hands up.
"I don't want to go anywhere like that!" Edward hissed.
"Go where?" I wondered, making my presence known.
"Back to college," she answered me, grinning.
I started laughing again, imagining Bob's face if he saw Edward as a spermatozoon.
"Are you even trying to be on my side, Swan? Why is everyone against me today? WHY?" Edward groaned and picked a pumpkin.
I had no idea what he was going to do with it until he stuck in down Alice's head.
"Edward Cullen!" Esme yelled at the same time as Alice punched Edward in the shoulder.
"She's so funny. The Sleepy Hollow," Emmett laughed, patting Edward on the back.
"Take this off me!" Alice screamed. "And just for this, we are really going back to college dressed in our costumes."
"I am not going anywhere," Edward said amused and took the pumpkin away.
I was afraid of Alice's wrath. She was orange everywhere and her once arranged hair was full of chunks of pumpkin.
"You better run, brother," she hissed. Edward chuckled and shook his head at her, but when she picked her spoon, he backed away and ducked out of the kitchen with Alice hot on his heels.
"So costume shopping didn't go well," Esme said casually.
The rest of the day was pretty tense and I didn't see much of Alice or Edward since Esme had kidnapped me to help with the pumpkins. I had no idea why we needed them because we were leaving in a few hours, anyway. After a late lunch, we went to get dressed because Esme insisted that she wanted to see us look pretty and take pictures. I didn't know if she would appreciate her son's costume.
I was in Edward's room, taking my costume out of the bag when he entered his room in a hurry and locked the door.
"Oh Christ! You scared me," he shouted.
"Sorry?"
"Yeah right," he snorted. "You're wearing that?" His eyes lit up when he saw my outfit. "Oh fuck, the Huskies' color."
"You might forgive Alice," I teased him and reached for the hem of my shirt.
"What are you doing?" he demanded, slightly breathless. When I looked up, I saw his eyes hooded and trained on my breasts.
"I have to change in my costume. What about you?" I asked casually, trying my best not to blush as I took the t-shirt off my head.
"I think I'll skip," Edward mumbled.
"You have the back up costume." I winked.
"I don't know which one is worse. Can I just maybe…not get dressed?"
"I don't think the others will appreciate it, but you have thumbs up from me," I said seriously as I eyed the top I should wear.
"That sounds nice. Adam's costume, but you have to join me and wear Eva's."
"You should stick with your kinky costume."
"I really hate Alice," he said mournfully.
"Can you help me?" I asked uncertainly after I put the skirt on me.
"I guess," he whispered in a strained voice, advancing to me. "What can I do?" he asked softly in my ear.
"The zi- the zipper," I stuttered and turned around.
"Oh, sweet Jesus! Does Alice expect me to behave when you are this…undressed?" His hand came on my hip as the other zipped me up. But he didn't take his hands back. They started wondering until they went under my skirt and my breath hitched.
"Get dressed," I hissed and jumped aside.
I helped him with his zipper and then took a step back. He looked like some sort of white barrel combined with a smurf. I couldn't hold my laughter.
"Bella," he said through greeted teeth.
"You know… the comic book with the smurfs?" I asked between snorts of laughter.
"I know the cartoons, why?"
"You look like one of them!"
"They were blue!"
"Well, they were dressed in white…"
He looked down and the brimmed top fell in his face making him curse, moving the forelock away.
"Yeah…I look stupid. You can't tell what's this, right?"
"Not knowing it, I don't know…" I shrugged.
We decided that it was safe for me to go first, and try to distract everyone then; he would make his way downstairs.
"I didn't take you for the cheerleader type," Emmett chortled.
"Oh shut it, you!"
"Where's Edward? We are on a tight schedule!" Alice said impatiently, leaning over the banister and howling upstairs. "Get your ass here, drama queen!"
"Hold you pants, pixie!" he retorted and appeared at the top of the stairs with our bags in his hands. "It's next to impossible to walk in this fucking thing but descend!"
"Oh dear! What have you done, Alice?" Esme asked scandalized.
"And you, Mom, if you decide to take pictures…then take your mind off it!" he snapped and made a beeline to the front door.
I opened my mouth to tell him to bend his head, but it was too late. His hat hit the doorframe and he fell backwards making us laugh.
"You are soo dead, Alice!" he shouted, trying to get up and only managing to roll on the ground.
Esme was snapping pictures at him as he kept shouting profanities. Jasper was video taping it as Emmett kept laughing loudly. The only person that took pity on Edward was his father. As in, Edward Sr.. He hoisted him up bit his elbow and leaned close to him, whispering loud enough for everyone to hear.
"Careful with the head."
Now, anyone with a big imagination like mine got the joke and I doubled over in laughter. Edward glared at me.
"You are not driving with me, Swan!" he shouted annoyed.
"Do you think you can fit in your precious car?" Emmett asked amused.
"Maybe we can cut the head off," Carlisle said thoughtfully, scratching his chin. Edward glanced at him and gulped, moving a hand in front of his crotch automatically.
"I guess…I should wear the other one," he said softly, his face turning an unhealthy shade of red.
"You're not changing it!" Alice screeched – not knowing the other choice – at the same time as I yelled, "Yes, please!"
"You don't have to change much, just take the hood off while you are in the car," Esme advised him.
"Why do I feel like a fucking idiot? Why did you get me this, Alice?"
"It's nice and unique!"
"Why didn't you get it to Emmett?" Edward argued. "No, you had to get him that normal costume and you had to humiliate me."
"Kids, stop arguing. I'll really help you with that hood but…I can't really touch you, honey," Esme said softly, looking compassionately at her son.
"Freaking perfect! Is anyone going to help me?" he moaned like a petulant kid.
"I will." Rose stepped in front of us and advanced to him. She was wearing a maiden costume. "Hold this for me." She handed him the mop and took the hood off his head.
Edward was watching her shocked, his eyes as big as sausages. He had never seen her good, probably.
"Thank you, Ic- Rosalie," he said quietly, handing her the mop. "Want to ride with me?"
I felt my mouth falling open as everyone was in as much shock as me. When she nodded, all hell broke lose.
"Now hold on a second, my dear brother! You aren't driving my girl anywhere!" Emmett shouted, glaring at him.
Alice turned into Jasper trying to conceal her tears. Everything clicked and I knew why Rose was doing this. So I played her game.
I hooked my arm under Emmett's elbow and jerked him to the door. "Leave them alone. We'll have so much fun!" I said loudly as I brushed past Edward.
"We will?" Emmett asked confused, still glaring his brother.
"Oh yes! Alice told me that she wants to make you best man and I will be the bride maid," I continued on the same loud voice, stressing the word maid as I locked eyes with Rose.
She realized what I was doing and huffed, grasping Edward's hand and dragging him out.
"Hold on, crazy woman! I want to say bye!" he shouted, trying to stop as he put his heels in the dirt only managing to lose balance again and fall.
We went inside the Jeep after saying goodbye to everyone and Emmett started the engine.
"You are one mean person, Bella," Emmett told me amused. "But I don't like that." He pointed his chin to Rose who was waiting near Edward's car while he said goodbye to his parents. Both sets.
"Yeah well…she's my friend and everything but I still don't get it. Why must she be like this with Alice?" I groaned, glancing behind me where Alice was trying to wipe her tears.
"Because that's Rose," Jasper supplied, stroking his fiancée's hair.
"Hold on," I said loudly. Alice raised her blue watery eyes to me. "How is it possible…you are from Austin! You said you went to the same high school, here," I explained my outburst.
Emmett laughed loudly and shoved my shoulder, sending me in the door. "They never told you?" he asked gleeful.
"Umm no…"
Alice giggled and launched in the story. "Rose signed herself-"
"And myself although I never gave her my approval," Jasper quipped up.
"To this student exchange program," Alice continued, throwing Jasper a nasty look for interrupting.
"That makes sense," I mumbled.
Alice grinned. "And they rented a flat because she wanted to experience this living on your own life," she continued. "We became friends almost instantly when we met in school. You know how she met Edward and Emmett," she added amused.
"But why hadn't she seen them in school?"
"Because we came here with two weeks before the school started!" Jasper groaned. "Rose and Alice met while Rose was picking who knows what from school. When I came to pick her up, I met Alice," he said softly and bent to kiss her.
"Enough mushy stuff in my car! Buckle up everyone!" he shouted, clapping his hands when Edward went to his car.
We started rolling and when we were on the highway, Emmett picked his phone, calling Edward and challenging him to a race.
"If I get caught, they will lock me up in the madhouse!" Edward shouted through the speaker.
I muffled my laugh, but Emmett wasn't as successful as me. "So you say you don't stand a chance? That's good to know, little brother."
"I never said that, Emmett! You're on!"
"That's how I like ya! Ten bucks, I make it first to school," Emmett goaded.
"Make it twenty. You know I like it fast," Edward chuckled.
"I wouldn't know that. Boop here can confirm if we have any dou-"
I smacked him behind the head. "Shut up, moron!" I felt my face catching fire.
"Twenty, it is!" Emmett boomed and closed the phone.
"You're not going to do it!" Jasper said scandalized from the backseat.
"'Course, I am! I ain't let him win!"
"He is not that stupid to speed! As much as he lik…"
Jasper didn't get to finish. A silver car zoomed past us, honking loudly. My mouth dropped and I glanced at our speed needle. If Emmett was driving at ninety…I really didn't want to know at what speed was Edward driving.
"I'm going to kill that little fucker! That's my sister in his car!" Jasper yelled angrily. I had never seen him angry; he was usually a calm person.
"I second that," Emmett growled. "That's my girlfriend he is trying to kill."
"Guys! Let's calm down," I said, trying to pacify them. "And if either of you touches Edward…you'll have to do with me," I finished.
"But he-" they complained loudly. I growled under my breath, stopping them.
We fell quiet, driving at a somewhat normal speed. I prayed nothing would happen with them, especially with Edward.
Jasper came up with a plan to convince Rose to make up with Alice, but Emmett complained and told him that he wasn't going to propose just to be even. And so Jasper scowled and stopped talking with Emmett. I had a feeling only Edward and I were the normal ones and we were in the middle of the madness.
When Emmett stopped the car, I jumped out, glad to breathe some cold, fresh air. I looked around and my heart took off in a marathon when I didn't see the silver Volvo. Where was he?
Before I could go in a full panic attack, he appeared behind the corner and parked next to Emmett's car with a loud screech. I didn't stop to think what I was doing, I just let my legs do it for me. I rushed to Edward's door and wrenched it open then I threw my arms around him.
"Bella?" he whispered shocked, touching my elbow.
"Don't you ever do that again! You scared me!"
"What did I do?" he asked confused and unbuckled his belt, allowing me to sit on his lap while tears rolled down my cheeks. "What the hell happened?"
"I d-d-don't k-k-kn-oow," I wailed pathetically and clung to him.
"Okay, calm down. You know I hate the tears," he said softly, shifting under me. "Yeah, I got it."
"Okay," Rose whispered. I heard the door slamming behind her. Somehow, I had forgotten about her.
"The r-r-race," I started explained and sniffed loudly. "And Em and Jazz had a fight and you weren't here and…." I took a big breath. "You scared the shit out of me," I finished, kissing every available spot on his face.
"You're insane, you realize that?" he asked softly, still stroking my hair.
"I beg to differ, Cullen. Our friends have gone mad! I'm pretty sane," I sniffed, jutting my chin out.
He smiled my special smile and leaned to kiss me. "I love you."
I grinned back and hugged him tighter. "Love you too."
We made our way to building C where the party was being held. People gave us weird looks and I couldn't help but nudge Edward who scowled at me, tugging the hoodie over his forehead in an attempt to conceal who he was.
When we entered the room, I realized it was Jacob's. There weren't many people inside.
"There you are!" Jacob shouted and came toward us. "And what is this?" he asked, scrunching his nose, eyeing Edward dubiously.
"Sperm," Edward answered promptly, brushing past him.
Jake followed us, laughing loudly. "I didn't want to believe Emmett. He described you as a piece of spunk."
"WHAT?" Edward hissed, whirling around, never letting go of my hand.
"Umm…you heard me," Jake whispered, scratching his head.
"Where is he?"
Jake pointed to the couch where Emmett was in a deep conversation with Rose, who looked ready to rip his head off.
"He's already in trouble," I told Edward.
"I hope she kicks his ass," Edward muttered wishfully.
"And here he is! Our spunky captain!" Bob shouted from behind us.
Edward turned to him and caught his neck in his hand. I had a flashback from yesterday. A second later, he dropped his hand and started laughing.
I looked at Bob better and saw his costume. I doubled over in laughter as I saw the small pink dress.
"I lost a fucking bet, okay?" he snapped annoyed. "What about you?"
"This was Alice's idea," Edward chuckled and clapped his friend on the back. "Should I call you Boba?"
"Jared found me a great nickname already. Roberta."
I laughed louder as Bob shot me a look. "This means, you are joining his fan club?" he asked snidely, gesturing to my outfit.
"YES!" I squealed in fake enthusiasm, wiggling my pom-poms. "Go Edward! Go Huskies!" I touched one purple pom-pom to his face making him sneeze.
"I've always hated them," he muttered.
"The pom-poms?" I asked and attacked him with them.
"YES! And the cheerleaders, too!"
"Could have fooled me," Bob said loudly from behind me.
"Shut the fuck up, idiot!" Edward barked with humor. "How can you say anything about me? Look at YOU! That must have been one hell of a bet you lost."
"Yes…" he said embarrassed.
"YES!" Jacob's voice echoed Bob's as he draped his arm around his shoulders. "He missed a slam dunk. Jared and Paul are witnesses. So we made him dress like a chick," he added with a smirk.
I cleared my throat loudly and glared at him. He shrugged at me.
"You don't fall in that category," Bob told me serenely.
"Excuse me!"
"Yes, what do you mean?" Edward asked in mock hurt.
His friend grinned and looked at his nails. "Oh, I don't know…"
"You have a minute to find a good excuse or you'd wish you were able to apologize," I threatened him.
"I'd like to see that," he shot back, flexing his muscles. He looked ridiculous in the dress.
"Erhmm," Edward started to warn him, but then thought better of it.
"What Bella? It's not like you ARE a chick!" Bob went on with his statement. "I mean…you're not like the other bimbos he fucked." And he kept going under.
I saw Edward with the corner of my eye cringing and taking a step back. Like I was going to turn on him!
"And you are with us, the guys, most of the time…so you're not a real chick. You know what I mean?" he asked sweetly, arranging his dress better.
"Three," I started counting.
"You're not serious!" he shouted surprised.
"Two."
"Fuck, you won't do it." He looked scared.
"One." I snapped my fingers, giving him one last chance.
"Remember…I told you I won't get on your bad side…"
"Yes. Cop daddy," I said, nodding.
He gulped and took a step back. I cocked my head to the side, still waiting for an apology.
"Mine are bigger than yours," he attempted to distract me, squeezing his fake boobs.
I pounced, sending him flying backwards.
