"Rose is that you?" Once Esme says that everyone comes running to the door.
"Yeah mom it's me." I can tell they're all shocked by me calling her mom. "So are we going to stand here all day or oomph." I was just tackled by a 5 foot nothing pixie. "Hey Alice miss me?"
"Yes I did I just can't believe that you're here! How long are you here for? Where have you been? What have you been doing?" I couldn't help myself I just had to laugh at her, she was talking so fast I almost didn't understand any of her questions.
"How about we go inside and talk." Carlisle suggested.
"Sounds like a plan." I answered.
Before Alice could drag me away I gave both Esme and Carlisle a brief hug. Before I could do anything else I was being hauled into the living room. Once we were all sitting I took the time to really look at everyone.
Esme and Carlisle looked happy that I was finally back with the family. Emmett was looking at me with questioning eyes, he was the only one in the house who I had kept in contact with but even then he didn't know the whole story. Edward was his usual broody self, god he needs to have that stick he has stuck up his ass removed. Hmm I wonder if Carlisle would do it for him. Alice and Jasper were both bouncing up and down in pent up excitement.
"So Rose where have you been?" This is exactly why I didn't want to come back, too many questions.
"Well Esme I've just been traveling, and exploring new places." At least I didn't lie.
"Why can I only read some of your thoughts?" Edward snapped at me.
"I don't know it's your power not mine how should I know. Maybe it's faulty and if it is that's not my fault." The nerve of some people.
"Edward what do you mean you can only read some of her thoughts?" Carlisle asked looking curiously at me.
"I'm only getting bits and pieces of what she's thinking everything else is fuzzy." Edward growled out.
Thank goodness for that score one for Rosalie.
"Well Eddy boy I have no clue what to tell you it's not my fault that you're failing at this who mind reading thing." Hmmm someone's a little sensitive about that.
"Uhh Rose your phone is ringing." I was wondering what that was.
"Thank you Alice. Can you guys excuse me for a little while? I really have to take this call, but I'll be more than happy to talk about this when I come back." After receiving a nod from everyone I ran into the woods far enough away that they family wouldn't be able to hear me.
"Hello."
"Hey Rose how are you doing? Did you make it in one piece?"
"Yes I made it in one piece Nick. I'm good I just miss her and can't wait to see her again."
"She can't wait to see you either. So we've made plans and Chuck is expecting us in the next three days I'll let you know for sure when the boss gives me the concrete details. Apparently I'm so out of it that she won't tell me anything until the day we leave." I wonder why.
"Well Nick remember the last time we went on a trip? You told everyone where we were going and what we were doing. I'm pretty sure the mail man or the clerk at the video store needed to know what exactly you were going to do to your woman when we got to the hotel room. They still can't look any of us in the eyes still because of you." She turned them both into stuttering messes.
"Eh details details everything ended up okay didn't it? for the most part we all made it back in one piece. I can assure you that those conversations were the cornerstone to my relationships with those guys." Cornerstone my ass.
"That's true well I guess I better get back to the house before they come looking for me. So tell them both I love them, miss them, and can't wait to see them again. Remember though if anything happens to either of them I promise I will cut your left tit off and give it to Tanya as a gift." I swear one mark and I may flip.
"Okay alright I get it they'll make it there in one piece. Have fun I love you and I'll call you later Rosie Posie." Bitch.
"Don't call me that and I love you too Nick. Talk to you later." I can't believe that it's only been a day and I miss them as much as I do.
"Who's there?" Sneaky very sneaky but I still know that someone's there. Gotta love these enhanced senses.
"Relax Rose it's just me everyone was getting worried about you so I came to check and make sure that you're okay." I ca bull on this she's probably been listening in on my phone conversation.
"Really Alice is this how it's going to be from now on? Me not getting any time to myself and someone listening to everything that I say? How is that fair to me?"
"Ross clam down you've just been gone for a long time and we just wanted to make sure that everything is okay." Ugh we really need some boundaries here.
"I just don't want to talk about it. So lets go back to the house so we can get the inquisition over with." This is going to be the longest day ever.
