explore this electricity phenomenon further and formed a plan. I told Edward that I had to use the bathroom before gym so I'd see him later, and headed to the girls' restroom. I quickly scribbled two notes:
Meet me in the parking lot at the beginning of lunch.
Alice, please give enclosed message to Emmett tomorrow morning at school. Don't let Edward know!
I wrapped the first message in a blank sheet of paper and sealed it with tape, then wrapped both messages in another sheet of paper and sealed it too. Now, all I needed was a girl from Alice's class to pass it on. I was about to run and check by the lockers when Alice herself came in.
"Okay, give it to me. I have
a class to get to." I put the messages in her hand and she disappeared.
Recovering from the shock of Alice showing up and knowing I had something for her, I closed my mouth.
I realised that having Alice on my side was a very good thing.

Edward's POV
Something was up. Even though I wasn't at home as much these days, I was aware that Alice was avoiding me. This morning, when Bella and I arrived at school, Alice was mentally reciting Latin verbs. Other than that, the morning was typically boring, and I looked forward to seeing Bella at lunch.
I sat alone in the cafeteria waiting, but Bella didn't show. Neither was Emmett sitting with the others. Rose wondered where he was, but Alice knew something. I searched her mind…there, she'd given Emmett a note.
I was trying to figure it out when Emmett rushed in, grabbed Rose, and almost dragged her outside. You lucky bastard, he snapped at me. I didn't want to see his thoughts, but I needed to know if he had seen he was desperately blocking something, he had seen her…and now I knew where.
As I headed off to find Bella, I heard Alice ask, "What was that all about?"
"Darned if I know, but Rose and Emmett need to be alone," Jasper replied.
Emmett's POV
I thought today was going to be a normal day. We arrived at school, ignoring Edward and Bella as he steered her away. Jazz and I went off to our first class as Rose and Alice went off to theirs. As Jasper disappeared around the corner in front of me, I felt someone grab my arm and the little minx slapped a note into my hand. I opened it and wondered why she wanted to meet. Why all the secrecy? Alice never had secrets from Jazz. Class started and I decided I'd find out at lunch.
When I got to the parking lot, Alice was nowhere to be seen—but Bella was, and she beckoned me over.
"Thanks for coming, Emmett," she said. "Can we go somewhere we won't be disturbed?" Well sure, I knew a few places…
She followed me into a nearby wood. As soon as we were out of sight, she turned to me and said, "Emmett, I want you to keep very still and let me touch you. Okay?"
"Sure, if you like." Bella reached up and put one finger on my chin.
"What does that feel like?" she asked.
"It's a bit tingly, like static electric."
"It's not bad? It doesn't hurt?"
I laughed at the idea. "No. Does it hurt you?"
"No." She laid her palm on my cheek and the feeling got stronger, then she held my face in both her hands and the electricity intensified. The feeling was quite enjoyable, and my mind went off on its own path. I wondered how much stronger it could get if, say, two bodies were touching. They'd have to be naked, of course.
Catching a whiff of arousal, the idea of naked bodies led me to wonder about the ultimate skin-on-skin contact. That could be interesting. Hmm, might be fun…
My mind was in overdrive and imagining those sparks of hers shooting through my dick. Shit, this is Bella, Em, I berated myself for thinking like that about my brother's girl.
"I don't think this is such a good idea, Bella," I said, taking her hands away, and I left her standing in the woods. I needed Rose. Now.
As I pulled Rosalie from the cafeteria, I couldn't help thinking what a lucky bastard Edward was. Goddamn!
Bella's POV
Well, that was interesting. The more skin contact, the stronger the feeling. It was when I used both hands that the lust kicked in, though I didn't get chance to explore that, as Emmett took off. How much could he tell?
I wasn't really surprised when Edward found me. "What happened?" he demanded.
"I thought I should get to know Emmett better, and maybe stop the 'high five' business, but he ran off." Edward appeared to accept my explanation, though he looked far from happy. I sighed as we headed back to school; I guessed that Edward would always find out in the end.
Next day at school, I realised that Emmett was giving me a wide berth, which pleased Rosalie. I wanted to find out more. I was sitting with Edward at lunch, when I hatched a plan.
"Edward, would you mind if I have a girls' night?" At the other end of the cafeteria, Alice squealed.
"Are you sure?" he asked. "Do you know what Alice intends to do to you?"
"How bad can it be?" Does she know what I want to do to her? Actually yes, she probably does.
Edward grinned. "So, you're ready to be a Barbie doll, are you?"


The next afternoon, Edward drove me straight to their house. As he helped me out of my jacket, I reached up and pulled him into a kiss. I wasn't sure how much they could tell, but I wasn't having them know that Alice, or anyone other than Edward, did that to me.
"Wish me luck," I said, as Alice beckoned me upstairs.
"Come on, Bella," Alice chided. "Let's get your stuff out of the way so I can concentrate on you. We haven't got long as Charlie wants you home by ten thirty." Not long? We had hours. Obviously Alice had prior knowledge of my hidden agenda, so I jumped straight in and enquired.
"Alice, would you mind if we touch, and you tell me what it's like for you? Emmett ran off before I could ask him. Did I do something wrong? Was he upset?"
"No, Bella. Emmett was just being a dick! So, touch me." Alice held her hands out, and I grasped one and then the other.
Just then there was a knock, and Jasper peered round the door. Alice hissed something about a cold shower and Jasper left sheepishly .
Alice confirmed that a light touch tickled, which soon turned into a tingling, and by the time both hands were fully touching, sparks were flying. I was relieved that was all, and asked her, "Did you say something about a shower?"
"What? Yes. We need to get you showered, because you can't eat until I've finished your hair."
"We're eating?" I asked in amazement.
"No, silly. You're eating. Esme went a little mad at the market, so I hope you're hungry."
Alice bundled me into the shower, and then spent the next couple of hours drying, ironing, brushing and styling my hair. Only when she was completely satisfied was I allowed downstairs to find Esme, feeling a little self-conscious in the towelling robe Alice had lent me.
Esme was in the kitchen, slicing tomatoes and onions. "Great timing, I'm just finished," she said, pouring a dressing over the salad and carrying it through to their huge dining table. "Dinner is served," Esme announced. She added the tomato and onion salad to the many dishes already laid out on the table. The whole family appeared and filled all the side seats except one. I sat in the empty seat, the only one with a plate, and wondered where to start.
"I thought it best not to cook, this time, so I kept it simple," Esme explained.
"It's wonderful, Esme. I'm not sure where to begin." The table was full of salad dishes, coleslaws, and fresh fruit.
Edward took control. "How about a bit of everything?" He took my plate and spooned a little of one dish after another onto it.
At the opposite end and on the other side of the table, Emmett leaned back in his chair, stretching his long legs behind the unused end chair. "Esme wanted us all here," he said. Next to him, Rosalie leaned against his chest, arms folded, and glared at me, obviously thinking she could be better occupied.
"It's nice for the family to get together," Carlisle said from his seat opposite Edward. "How was school today?" Five pairs of caramel eyes looked at him.
Rosalie spoke for them all. "Seriously, Carlisle?" At least she wasn't glaring at me anymore.
"Of course, Dear," Esme answered her. "How was Advanced Math?" Rosalie snorted, which made Emmett chuckle.
Alice, who was seated next to me, was bouncing like a rubber ball. "Let me help you, Bella," she said, grabbing a dish and filling it with fruit. "There. Now eat up—we have lots to do."
"Alice! Give the poor girl chance. Take as long as you like, Dear." I returned Esme's smile as I nibbled on a piece of carrot. Rosalie went back to glaring at me, and Jasper had pulled Alice into his lap to calm her down.
Carlisle tried again. "Anything interesting in Biology, you two?"
Emmett guffawed. "Well, Edward was there, and Bella was there, but I don't think they know squat about biology!" I could feel the blush rising as he carried on. "Would you like me to draw you a diagram?"
Edward was growling. "I've seen more than diagrams, Emmett! If you don't think of something else, I'm going to describe the new outfit Rosalie bought you." He gave Emmett a very smug smile.
"Rose hasn't bought me any new clothes." Emmett retaliated, glancing quickly at Rosalie for confirmation. Rose shrugged.
"I believe she keeps it in her bottom drawer," Edward smirked. Jasper pushed Alice off his lap and made to get up. Rosalie hissed at him.
Esme declared, "Nobody leaves this table." Jasper sat back down, pouting.
"If you go in my room, you're dead, Jasper!" Rosalie snarled. Jasper turned his back to Carlisle and Esme, and flipped her off. "Did you see that, Emmett?" Emmett whispered in her ear, and Rosalie glanced smugly at Jasper—which was scarier than her glare.
Alice climbed back onto Jasper's knee, reaching across Edward, to push my chin back up. "Chew, Bella."
"I had a lovely morning at the market," Esme said. "Who knew there were so many types of tomato?"
"At least we don't have to pretend to eat them." Edward smiled at me a little apologetically. "It does get a bit tedious after a few years."
I wished then that they did have to pretend, or at least do something; it might stop Rosalie staring so hard. Jasper was watching me intently, too, although his gaze was somewhere around my neck—he seemed a little uncomfortable. Alice was logging every bite, willing me to hurry. Esme nervously scrutinised my enjoyment, or lack of it, in every mouthful. Edward beamed down at me, pleased I guessed, that I was there. The only ones not watching me were Carlisle, who appeared to be watching Jasper, and Emmett, who was doing a very good impression of eating Rosalie's ear.
"That's it," I said, slapping the table and surprising them all. "I can't eat with everyone staring. If I catch you watching me, you have to eat too." Everyone faced away, except Rosalie. "Got it?" I barked at her. She smiled slightly and turned to Emmett.
Great! Now I felt uncomfortable that everyone was avoiding looking my way,
