A/N: This chappie goes out to 'thee people' & it goes out to everyone that's reviewed the story so far. You guys are so awesome; you have no idea how much you really are.
A/N number two: I got my wisdom teeth out on Thursday (April. 24th. 2008) & this could mean one of two things: A: While I'm out from school dealing with the pain of the stitches in my mouth and high off viccadin I could write more…or B: I might be so lazy that I won't write at all….So I hope all of you under stand my situation!
Cookin' in the kitchen.
EPOV
Sweet Jesus. There is a god up above….She was right in front of you Edward and all you could do was smile and gawk? SMILE AND GAWK like a fourteen, sex deprived, horny little boy?! What the hell is wrong with- I was cut off from my self discipline with Jasper nudging my shoulder. I looked over at him and he had a smile on his face wiggling his eye brows suggestively.
"Shut. Up." I glared at his blue eyes while his smile got bigger.
"Hey man! I didn't say anything…" He said raising his hands up, shrugging his shoulders, like he was innocent or something. Just as he finished reeling up the hose and putting it back in the small closet by the door, Alice came walking though the kitchen. I decided that it was time to get even with him.
"Hey, Alice?" I said innocently.
She turned to me and said "MMM?" Her light brown hazel eyes growing wide with curiosity.
Poor Jasper, I was about to make him sound like the biggest pervert known to man kind…even though that roll belonged to Emmett himself. "Jasper said that he'd be more then happy to fluff your pillows any time that they need a good fluffing." It took her a moment to understand the true meaning of the statement. Her face instantly became flushed, her eyes growing wider… and not with curiosity now.
She looked over at Jasper slowly. "Thanks?" She squeaked out making it sound like a question more then a statement. She then proceeded to turn around quickly and walk right back out of the kitchen. I heard a bed room door shut a few moments later.
I looked over at Jasper and couldn't help but laugh at his stance. His hands were on his hips with his jaw wide open, gawking at me like he didn't believe what just happened.
"I was just trying to help a friend out…" I said between a laugh and walking past him to grab the cake mix and the frosting out of the grocery bag, to get ready for when Bella came out of her room. Hmm, I wonder what she'll be wearing this time. . .
"Ughhhhh!" Jasper wined "Now I have to fix things with Alice!" and stomped off toward Alice's room just as Bella walked into the kitchen. She was wearing a dark grey pair of sweats with a black spaghetti tank top. I couldn't help but notice her exposed arms and the tops of hear breasts swell each time she took a breath. Maybe I was becoming the pervert…
"What was that all about?" She asked walking towards me, interrupting my ogling.
"Oh, Uhhh…." I tried to find a good enough explanation to cover up the truth. "He's just mad…" I covered it up, but tried to stick to the truth as much as possible.
"Oh…" Was all she replied as she stood on her tipsy toes to reach into the cupboard that she got the big bowl from earlier. She whipped out a light green plastic bowl and faced me. "Ya ready to cook that cake?" She raised an eyebrow with a sexy mischievous smile covering her beautiful features.
Sweeeeeet Jesus….
"Yeah," I said taking the bowl from her hand and pushing her back a little against the counter. "Bring on the fun-fetti." I couldn't help but smile triumpitly as I watched the blush creep up her cheeks and she began to stumble for words: putting together an incoherent sentence.
"I-Uh" Her face was getting redder as I pushed her further towards the counter. I put the bowl on the counter behind her and left my arms there. "Cake-uhh-yeah…yum." she said looking down trying to hide her chagrin.
"Whoa!" We both jumped at the sound of a woman's voice. I pushed away from Bella as I turned to look to see who it was. "Sorry…" Rosalie said skipping by us and to go in the small closet Jasper had put the hose in "I'm just grabbing the broom and dustpan to clean off the patio….and to get the meat."
Bella lightly pushed me away a little further from her. "I'm going to get the eggs out of the fridge and the oil…" She sounded a little confused.
"Sorry, didn't mean to 'interrupt' you guys…" and with that Rosalie left us alone together again. Bella started to laugh lightly as she took the eggs out of the fridge and the oil. She placed them on the counter next to the green bowl.
I grabbed the cake mix and opened it and poured it in the bowl. I added the three eggs. "What's so funny?" I asked her nonchalantly. She handed me the measuring cup: I measured out the required amount of oil and poured it out in the bowl while Bella pre-heated the oven to 350 degrees.
"Nothing." She giggled out and slid the bowl towards her. I noticed that she had a huge baker's spoon now. I stood there in silence, watching her mix the cake ingredients. "Why don't you go in the cupboard over there," she pointed to the opposite side of the small kitchen, to the cupboard by the small table "and get the two round cake pans out." She continued her job while I brought the pans over to her and placed them in front of her on the counter top.
She grabbed the green bowl and poured half of the mixture into the first round cake pan then she did the same with the rest of the cake mix in the other. I couldn't help but be mesmerized by her beauty…even as she worked. I decided that we've gone to long without taking. "You know what my favorite part about baking a cake is?" I asked her as she walked over to the sink.
"MMM?" she asked turning around to face me, one eyebrow raised.
I grabbed her hand with the spoon and brought it up to my mouth, licking the cake batter slowly off the spoon while looking into her brown honey eyes. She nearly dropped the bowl, but caught it before it could clatter to the floor. She turned around quickly and threw the spoon and the bowl into the sink then turned back to face me with an evil smile on her lips.
"You know what my favorite part of baking a cake is?" She pushed passed me and grabbed the frosting off the counter. Oh God. She opened the frosting container and dipped her index finger into it, bringing out a white glob of sugar with rainbow pieces.
She slowly walked over to me. I started to walk back, but I felt my back hit something cold. The fridge? She smiled and walked right to me, pressing her body against mine. She brought her hand up to my cheek and rubbed the frosting all over the right side of my face. She then proceeded to stand on her tipsy toes and whisper in my ear. "I like to frost the cake…." She then moved her head over a little and lightly licked the frosting off of my cheek. I thought my knees were going to give out. "MMM." She whispered.
Just then the oven beeped us to let us know that it was pre-heated and ready to bake the cake. "I think the oven isn't the only thing that's heated!" Bella jumped away from me at Jasper's laughter along with Alice's.
"We've come to see if we could help you guys out, but I think you've guys got in covered…" Alice said trying to hide her giggles in.
"Actually…" Bella said glaring at Jasper and Alice "You can cut the veggies for the salad" She pointed at Alice "And you can make the potatoes." She pointed at Jasper.
Alice gave Bella a look before grabbing a knife and Jasper dug through the bag of grocery's looking for the instant mix potatoes we got at Safeway.
We broke up into two groups while the cake was baking. I went to work helping Jasper while Bella went to help Alice make the salad. We worked in almost complete silence except for the occasional whispers between Alice and Bella followed by a round of giggles.
Suddenly a very flushed Emmett and Rosalie walked in through the sliding glass door with a now cooked plate of steaks. "Steaks are done!" Rosalie said while putting them in the center of the small table.
"So is the salad." Alice chimed in.
"And the potatoes!" Jasper said string the last of it together.
"MMM!" Emmett said "I'm SO hungry! Is that cake I smell?" We all laughed at Emmett.
Meanwhile in EmPOV…..
I never wanted to let go of what was in front of me. A hot, beautiful, smart, sexy, blonde hair, blue eyed goddess who had wrapped her arm around me. I couldn't help but instantly wrap my arms around her as she kept thanking me for saving her life over and over. It was like sweet music to my ears. I couldn't help my next move: I snuggled my nose into her long, golden locks. She smelled so good…almost like lavender with jasmine. I inhaled and tried to memorize the scent.
She easily slipped away from my arms and looked up at me with her blue eyes. "Why don't I go get the broom from inside and the meat while you set up the grill and you can help me cook the meat for everyone?" She lifted a perfectly plucked eyebrow smiling at me. I felt myself nod involuntary. "Good, I'll be right back!" and he poked me on my nose softly, pushing me aside to go into the house.
Wow. Since when does a girl ever have that much of an affect on me? I decided to keep my mind busy on other things then have her come back to a more then eager Emmett. I cleared out the wet coals in the grill and poured some more in, while adding a small amount of lighter fluid. I saw the small lighter on one of the many burnt plant pot holders. Well, that's why...I grabbed the small pack of matches out from my pocket, lit one and tossed it into the coals, watching them go up in flames.
Just then Rosalie came back out in the patio with the broom and dustpan in one hand with the big bowl of marinating steaks in the other. "Here ya go big boy." She handed me the bowl of meat while I tried to settle the flames from the grill into a more subtle glow of embers. She leaned the broom against the railing of the balcony as she lifted her still dripping hair into a messy pony tail. I couldn't help but notice as she lifted her arms above her head a small portion of her stomach was exposed. I notice a small diamond connected to her belly button.
"Looks like Edward and Bella are getting along." She grabbed the broom and began sweeping up the dried, burnt parts of sun flowers. I watched her ass as she leaned down and brushed some of the ashes into the dust pan and put them in the same bag as I did the wet coals.
"What do you mean?" I asked focusing on putting the meat on the grill and not burning my hands in the process.
"Oh, they just seem to be all over one another…" She laughed while she put the remainders of the ashes into the dust pan and threw them away in the bag. She leaned the broom against the railing of the balcony and rubbed her hands together to get off any extra dust. She turned to face me. "So, how do you like Seattle so far?" He nodded her head towards the great city beyond the balcony.
"It's nice, but I think I like the sight right in front of me better." I looked back at the meat, hearing it sizzle over the flames. I grabbed the tongs and began flipping the steaks over, one by one slowly…waiting for Rose's reply to my not so subtle compliment on her beauty.
"Huh," She finally said, walking a little closer to me. She grabbed the seasoning and started to sprinkle some over the steaks while I flipped them. I like the way we worked un unison. Perfect…
"What are you doing this Friday?" I asked her nonchalantly. She stopped sprinkling the seasoning for a moment. I slid my eyes over to peek at her: She had a small smile spread across her face.
"Nothing…" She began sprinkling the seasoning over the steaks again while I returned to flipping them. "Why?" She asked curiously.
"Well, I was wondering if maybe you want to hangout. You could show me around a little bit. Maybe get me to like Seattle better?" I finished flipping the last of the steaks. She screwed the lid back on the seasoning and finally turned towards me.
"What if I don't want you to like Seattle more then what you like in front of you?" She asked me seductively. She slowly walked towards me and I felt a shiver run down my back. Holy CRAP! How did she do that?
"Well…maybe just so we could be alone and get away from everyone else for a while?" I stuttered out.
She leaned into me. I could feel her wet shirt press against my dry one. Another shiver ran down my back. She leaned so close to my face and whispered "Okay…" She then backed up away from me and picked up the tongs. "I think the steaks are done…" She gave me the cutest most innocent smile ever before she began picking up the steaks one by one and putting them onto a large plate.
