A/N: I hope everyone watched BD trailer and MTV Movie Award. The highlight of the night was the Best Kiss, right? :))

Of course, I never know when to stop so I managed to split Bob's lip. I wasn't that sorry. He was currently staying as far away from me as possible.

Once people started leaving, Edward sized the opportunity to escape from his costume and now he was slumped on the couch, drinking from a beer.

"I have an idea," Emmett bellowed, making me jump startled. I was dozing off on Edward's shoulder as he was talking with Jacob about cars.

"What do you want?" Rose groaned from her spot at the table where she was playing cards with Jasper, Bob and surprisingly, Alice. They seemed to have talked it out while I was busy acting like a kid with Bob. I still couldn't believe I had hurt him.

"Twister!"

"That sounds great!" Jacob nodded and went to the other room to find the game. Great! I mocked him in my mind. I could kill someone, including myself.

"You okay?" Edward whispered, peeking at me.

"Yeah. I'm just tired," I whispered and nestled better in the crook of his neck.

"Don't you want to play?"

"Umm not really."

"It could be fun."

"I could stay here and instruct you what to do?" I said it as a question, glancing at him.

"Or you could join us on the floor and have fun!"

Of course, ten minutes later, I was pointing a rock in the sea of papers and scissors. Alice didn't want to play and no one forced her so she declared the order of the players. I was the first.

"Left hand on blue," she announced me.

I crouched down and put my hand down, hoping I wouldn't die of embarrassment. Everything went smoothly until Emmett put his right foot on red. That was under me and Bob was already tangled around my legs.

"Emmett, watch out," I warned him.

He just waived me off and stretched his leg, putting it on red. I could rest my chest on the back of his knee.

"Edward, right hand on yellow." My eyes widened. I knew there was a reason I hated this. Edward's arm appeared from behind my neck and slapped on yellow. He threw me a grin and kissed my cheek.

"Rose, your left leg on green."

She was somewhere under Edward, balancing preciously but when her foot raised…she fell, nearly dragging Edward with her. He regained his balance and swore at her.

"Watch out, bitch!"

"You deserve a good kick in your ass, but I won't ruin the game for the others."

"So considerate," he muttered and rested his chin on my shoulder. "How are you holding?"

"Perfect! I can't feel my left leg and my right hand is trembling."

"That's the spirit, Bella!" Alice cheered me from the couch. "You're the only girl there!"

Jasper was the next to fall and only because his sock slid on the board. Once away from the board, he took his socks off and swore loudly, which made us laugh.

The next ten minutes were spent concentrating really hard not to fall. Emmett moved graciously – if you can say that about a bear – and still fell on his ass when he realized where his head was after moving accordingly.

"Be happy I didn't fart!" Bob quipped over his shoulder.

"Fuck off! You're no fun!"

Jacob was next to fall when I moved my hand next to his leg and accidentally, knocked him off. He pointed his middle finger at me then took his previous seat on the couch, folding his arms in front of him and glaring at us. It was to be expected that I would eliminate someone with my clumsiness.

Fifteen minutes later and a few more moves, I was sandwiched between Bob and Edward.

"Okay, you win, Bella. You are a chick," Bob muttered, eyeing my nearly naked breasts. I couldn't move my hands to cover myself and I turned three shades of red.

"Why don't you just close your fucking eyes, Gravel?" Edward snapped. He was behind me, all over me. I hated and loved this game.

"But she has a nice set of boobies."

"Do you want a broken arm?"

"I can't not look at what is in front of me," he defended himself.

"Guys! Come on, listen up!" Alice shouted.

It didn't do any good. Edward was mumbling profanities under his breath and unfortunately, in my ear.

"Bob, left hand on green."

"Don't move an inch!" Edward yelled.

"But you heard…"

"I'll kill you if you get any closer to Bella."

He moved anyway, and Edward punched his shoulder making him fall. Bob took me with him since his feet were tangled in mine and Edward lost his balance, too. I felt like my life was being squeezed out of me. I felt like a boxer as I slapped my hand on the floor, wishing one of them would move so I could breathe again.

"Hey!" I moaned in a raspy voice.

Edward rolled off me and I sat on my hunches, putting both hands over my chest and taking big gulps of air.

"So? Who won?" Bob asked from under me.

"I think we need a rematch!" Emmett said loudly, cracking his wrists just as Edward attacked Bob. I moved away right on time. They started wrestling and one would groan from time to time.

It was all in a playful nature, but I was glad Edward could initiate such things without retracting, freezing, or thinking of his past.

"Why don't we just settle down?" Jasper wondered, going to break the wrestling match.

An hour later, we moved the party to Edward's room to watch some movies. I was barely keeping my eyes open and I had no idea how late or early it was.

Once in his room, I went to the couch and slumped on it, closing my eyes. Edward came to me and took me in his arms, kissing my forehead.

"Tired much?"

"Mhmm," I hummed, unable to form words.

He chuckled and pressed my head to his shoulder. I tried to keep my eyes open to see what movie they were watching but it was hard. Emmett had chosen Kickboxer. Joy!

I nestled myself better under Edward's arm and was ready to go to dream land when Bob punched the air in front of him. "This is what I call a movie, dude! It rocks!" he exclaimed.

"Ouch…look how good he is…the best straddle split I've ever seen…" I droned Emmett out and fell asleep.

"Captain, sorry but you're a softie," someone snickered.

"Shut it, Gravel!" Edward hissed angrily and I felt his arms tightening around me. I snuggled further into his chest and felt a kiss on my head.

"Bro, I'm demanding Dad to cut you from the male heir list and start a pussy-softie one." Emmett laughed.

"Em, I swear I could beat you to death," Edward growled.

"Rose, quick, hide me. The tiger's back." Emmett laughed and I heard some sort of commotion that sent everyone laughing. Edward was shaking in silent laughter, a few chuckles escaping him.

"That's cheating!" Emmett yelled. "Why the hell did you do that Bob? On whose side are you? Wanna take this outside?"

"Oh lord, he's hilarious!" Bob laughed.

"Please, take it outside. Don't destroy my room," Edward said seriously. "NO! That's my phone!" he yelled in my ear making me moan and open my eyes in time to see his phone smashing on the wall.

"Correction. It was your phone," I giggled. Edward glowered at me and watched what was left of his phone in disbelief.

"It's for the best. No more admires calling you," I giggled and sent everyone laughing.

"You were supposed to be asleep, Bella."

"How can I sleep with these two yelling?"

"That's it! Get the hell out of here! We're going to bed," Edward snapped, getting up.

I was vaguely aware of people saying goodnight, but I started dozing off again so I couldn't respond. I felt myself being lifted and carried somewhere then something soft covering me, an arm being draped over my stomach and then I was out again.

I woke up to the sound of tapping and it was annoying as hell. I moaned and buried my face in the pillow, only to find my nose pressed in something hard and warm. I nuzzled there and it moved.

What the hell?

I burrowed my nose further in that something only to hear a chuckle. The tapping stopped.

"Bella, stop it! You're tickling me!" Edward groaned.

I opened an eye and came face to face with his toned stomach. Hey, six pack. Now, this is the best way to wake up!

"Hey," I whispered groggily and titled my head to see his face. "How did I end up here?" I was sprawled diagonally on the bed, with my head on his lap and my arms around one of his legs.

"For someone as tired as you were last night, you surely moved a lot. When I woke up with your head on my lap…" He burst in laughter and I closed my eyes, blushing. I could only imagine what he thought. "I was like, 'What the hell? Is she sleep-blowing me?' Then I-"

I slapped him and my palm printed on his naked chest.

"Ow, woman!" he groaned, but kept smiling.

"I'll show you 'sleep-blowing'!" I muttered and put my head back on his leg. "And what were you doing, anyway?"

"I'm trying to find a new phone."

"You want to change it?" I asked surprised. I thought he liked his phone.

"Well, I don't hav- Wait! You don't remember anything from last night?"

"I don't exactly remember getting back here, to your room," I admitted.

"Then, allow me to fill you in with the highlights of the night," he said courteously. "I put Kickboxer on and you dozed off next to me on the couch then Emmett and Bob started making fun of me, Rosalie and Bob slapped Emmett which was funny as hell then I nicely told them to take it outside. It was a little too late since Emmett threw my phone toward Bob who ducked and it smashed to the wall. Don't you remember? You even commented on that."

"Really? Did I drink something?"

"You were probably too tired. If you think about it, you might remember what happened."

I shrugged and hugged his leg tighter. "What phone do you want?"

"Do you think I care now? I need one, doesn't matter how it is. I don't have enough money for a great one and I can't exactly call Carlisle."

"You can call him from my phone?" I suggested, yawning.

"I don't have the stupid number, Bella."

"Switch our cards or get the number from Alice or Emmett."

"I didn't think about that." He ruffled my hair and dropped a kiss on my forehead.

Once he had a new phone, he decided to change his number too and it was such a relief not to hear it ringing every second. Okay, maybe it hadn't been ringing every second, but it sure as hell rang a lot in the past.

On Thanksgiving, I decided to accept Dad's invitation and to my utter shock, Edward asked if he could join me.

I was on my last class on Wednesday and I had to meet with Edward to drive to Forks. This teacher wasn't on my side. Thankfully, I had Bob sharing my night classes and the time seemed to pass faster.

"Why do I feel like a property?" I wondered as Bob led me to Edward's car in the parking lot.

"He told me to bring you here because he didn't know when he was done with his classes and he still had to finish packing."

"Yeah, because he didn't let me pack for him," I said, rolling my eyes.

"Really, Swan? Would you like if he went through your shit?"

"Ew, gross!" I said in mock disgust.

He elbowed me playfully and I started laughing. We reached the Volvo. Edward wasn't there.

"Do you think he forgot? I mean, if we leave any later than this we'd get there around midnight," I said thoughtfully.

"Why don't you call him?"

"Why don't you call him?" I mocked Bob, taking my phone out. He shrugged as I put the phone to my ear. It rang and rang and rang until finally – when I was about to shout to his voicemail – he picked up.

"Yeah?" he asked, slightly out of breath.

"Where the fuck are you?" I snapped.

"Oh, shit! What time is it?"

I widened my eyes and made a motion of throat slicing to Bob. "Where are you, idiot?" I yelled in the phone.

"In the basketball court. I thought time would pass faster and Jake…"

"You want to tell me that I have to drive four hours next to you, stinking of sweat?" I groaned.

"Ah! I didn't think so far," he answered. "Motherfucker!" he shouted. "You're so dead, now!"

"Sorry?" I asked, getting angry.

"What? Oh not you, Bella. Ow, that's my head, Black!"

"Get your ass here!" I snapped and shut the phone. "He's playing," I told Bob in disbelief.

"You should have expected something like that from him."

"Why aren't you on my side?"

"I trust you to take care of him. Cop's daughter and all that jazz, you said so yourself," he said, winking.

Edward appeared with the ball under his arm, bumped fists with Bob and grinned at me, leaning down.

"Uh-huh!" I stepped back, wrinkling my nose.

"Oh, come on, baby."

"You ain't smooth talk me into kissing your sweaty ass!"

"I was aiming for the lips." He winked, pouting his lips.

"You're such a jerk!"

"But you love me."

"For some unknown reason," I sighed and wrenched the door open, stepping inside the car. "Did you at least bring our bags?"

"Yep! They're in the trunk."

I kept teasing him about his smell all the way to Forks and nearly ended up on the side of the road a few times when he threatened to red-light me. I kept reminding him that Dad would murder him if he got there without me. Around midnight, he pulled up in front of the small house that was engulfed in darkness.

"I can carry one," I whispered when Edward took both bags.

"That would make me look bad, you know?" he teased.

"Whatever. I can't wait to get inside and exile you to the shower!"

"You just know your way to my heart, don't you?" Edward chuckled as I turned the key in the lock.

"Shh, Charlie's sleeping," I whispered and motioned for him to follow me. "We'll take the shoes off in my room," I told him and went to the stairs. I didn't take a step before I heard a banging and a loud curse from Edward.

"Fucking thing. What's this?" he muttered, hopping around.

"Must be the umbrella support."

"Perfect. My toes are dead," he complained.

I turned around to ascend when something cold hit my shoulder then the light turned on and I saw the gun pressed to me. My eyes widened as I gaped at Charlie.

"It's you!" he said in relief and lowered the gun.

I felt my legs shaking and Edward had enough presence of mind to put an arm around my shoulders. The last thing I remembered was: Why does this happen to me? Then I blacked out.

When I came around, I could hear voices, but couldn't make them out at first. Then I heard Edward's voice, followed by Dad's. I couldn't open my eyes or mouth to tell them that I was okay.

"Dad said she'll be okay after this," Edward said loudly.

"But she's not, is she?" Charlie snapped.

I became aware that someone was squeezing my fingers and I gripped them back. I heard a gasp.

"Look! She's coming around!" Edward announced, squeezing back my hand. "Can you hear me, Bella?"

I blinked my eyes a few times and focused them on the green ones, above me. He smiled when he saw I opened my eyes. Then I saw Dad's face to my right. He was kneeling next to the couch.

"I'm sorry, Bells, I didn't mean to scare you."

I smiled at him then glanced at Edward who was scowling.

"I'm okay, now," I whispered, answering them both.

"No you're not! It took me half an hour to bring you back! That was quite a scare."

"I'm fine, Edward," I insisted.

He hugged me and I watched over his shoulder as Charlie looked at us with a small smile on his face. That's when I smelt it.

"Gosh, Edward!" I exclaimed, stopping breathing. "You haven't showered, yet!"

He started shaking in laughter. "Sorry about that, but I was trying to make sure you are alright."

"Go!" I pushed on his shoulder. "Thanks for making sure I'm okay, but now, to the shower with you!"

He grinned and after a glance to Charlie, he picked his bag and went upstairs.

"I'm glad to have you back," Charlie told me.

"I'm glad to be back. And don't ever do that again!"

"I won't! I wasn't expecting you tonight."

"Yeah, that was Edward's genius idea. Worked up pretty good, huh?"

We laughed and I made him room on the couch next to me. After talking for a few minutes, he went to bed making sure that Edward would be sleeping on the couch.

The next day, we talked about classes, about us – to my embarrassment, and about Charlie's plans on retirement – he insisted that next year would be the year. He kept saying that since I was senior high.

Right after our quiet dinner, I went to clean up and Charlie took Edward outside, for a walk. Edward seemed a little more confident than in the summer.

I finished washing and drying the dishes, I talked to Alice and found a movie, getting bored. It was getting dark and they weren't back. Halfway through the movie, I heard the front door opening and closing then the lock being turned and only one set of feet coming to the living room.

"Hey," Edward greeted me with a huge smile.

"I was expecting Dad to come alone after he had buried your body somewhere. Where is he, anyway?" I asked, as he fell next me and took me in his arms. He smelled of booze.

"Oh, we had fun. Don't worry about him! He's in good hands."

"Let me guess…Sue?"

Edward nodded and nuzzled in my neck, while his fingers found their way under my shirt.

"Hey, Mr. Eager Fingers!" I snapped playfully. "Dad trusts you."

"I'm trying to be very good to his daughter," he murmured and kissed the spot behind my ear. "You just need to cooperate."

"What if he comes home?" I asked, trying to keep up with him.

"He won't. He is staying the night, trust me." He offered me a huge smile while nodding like a crazy person.

"How much did he give you to drink?" I wondered, amused.

"A couple of beers, a couple of shots, nothing," he dismissed it.

I closed the TV and engulfed us in darkness then turned to him and straddled his legs. His hands went straight to my ass and squeezed. I'd missed him and I knew he wasn't used to waiting so long between sexy times so I decided to go with it, hoping he won't pass out on me.

"Let's take this upstairs," Edward whispered, wrapping his arms around me and climbing carefully.

I hope you liked the continuation of the Halloween party. I know many of you didn't like Edward's costume, but I thought it was funny and besides, it's just fiction.

Sorry for the cliffie, but I had to end the chapter there. :)
