“Were you with... Bella?” Jasper asked with a knowing smirk. I was startled by his accurate guess. My head jerked and my grip tightened on the steering wheel, but I tried not to let any other outward signs of my surprise show.
They all saw it anyway, of course. And my damned heart rate even accelerated. It was small change, but any shift in it was unusual, and of course they all noticed.
“Bella? The girl he can't hear?” Rosalie asked.
I turned my head and glared at Jasper through narrowed eyes, in his seat behind the passenger. He simply smirked at me and chuckled.
“Oh! So she goes to the library at lunch!” Alice exclaimed. “I was meaning to ask her where she goes, since you seemed curious, but she's so hesitant to talk during Aerobics.”
Rosalie turned to look at Alice, bewildered now. “Why are you trying to talk to her during aerobics?”
“Because Edward likes her.” Alice said in a syrupy tease, giggling afterwards.
“He what?” Rose exclaimed.
“I never said that I liked her.” I said, defensively from the front.
“Are you denying it?” Jasper said, the smile in his voice. He knew. His thoughts were laughing at me. He thought I was in denial. I guess I was.
Since I couldn't think of anything to say in response to his question, I ended up just not responding at all. This, of course, cause Emmett to guffaw in laughter.
“Holy crap! Eddie's got the hots for a human girl?!” He said through his laughter.
“Shut up, Emmett.” I growled.
Of course, this only caused him to laugh harder. “Ha ha! No way! Has our little man's pair finally dropped? Finally starting to notice the opposite sex? You know, Eddie, I was really starting to wonder... I was afraid that Mike kid might have something, in his little theory from lunch today...”
“Emmett.” I growled. “I will not hesitate to rip your arm off and bury it under a rock if you don't shut up – Now.”
“Oh! Wait wait! Jazz, tell me how he reacts to this. Got it?” Emmett exclaimed excitedly.
“What the hell are –“
Suddenly Emmett's mind was filled with a very vivid image of Bella wearing some rather skimpy lacy undergarments, and nothing else. She had a very un-Bella look on her face. Seductive, teasing, arrogant and proud... it was a Rosalie look. The kind of look that really got Emmett going.
In his mind, Bella was walking slowly forward, rubbing her hands up and down her torso in an erotic manor, looking through lidded, lusty eyes. Her hands came up and brushed over her breasts, cupping them and then slowly pulling back to slip behind her back and unhook the latch.
“STOP IT!” I screamed.
He exploded into laughter and the image faded from his mind.
“Damn it Emmett, if you Ever even think of something like that again, I'll rip off all four of your limbs and bury them in for four separate holes underneath very large rocks, and cover them with dung to mask the scent so you'll never find them!” I snarled, glaring daggers at him in the front passenger seat.
“Whoa, there, Emmett.” Jasper said warningly, and yet still chuckling, from the backseat. “You'd better not repeat whatever it was you just did. He is seriously angry right now.”
