“What? I got an email alert about your performance. I had to
congratulate you,” Nia purred, kissing Jasper’s nose.
“With your mouth?” he growled, sweeping her in his arms and
running them back to his room. “Turnabout is fair play, Nia!” The door slammed
shut and muffled squeals filled the suite.
I shot a glance at Alice and she was smiling, shaking her
head, but I knew that she was hurting. Her eyes were dull. I wanted to ask if
she was okay. As if she knew that I was going to say something, Alice got up. “I’m
going to hit up the gym and then enjoy some time in the spa. I’m due for a
pedicure. Bella, do you want to come?”
“Gym, no. Spa, yes,” I giggled.
“I’ll make the arrangements,” Alice said, walking over to me
and giving me a hug. “Congratulations, guys. I’m so proud of you.” She kissed
Edward’s cheek and left the suite.
Emmett was still perusing the web, randomly blurting out
positives about our performance. He was beaming, over-the-moon excited about
all of the good news. Edward and I were curled up on the couch, idly listening
to him. I even dozed off thanks to Edward’s tender touch along my back. Emmett
barked when his cell phone went off. “Shit! It’s Rosie. What do I do?”
“Answer it, you goof,” I said grouchily. My nap was disturbed
by his yelling. I huffed and buried my nose into Edward’s belly while he
chuckled quietly. He went back to rubbing my back, dragging his fingers through
my hair. Emmett darted out of the living room and into his bedroom. His excitement
for Rose calling him was barely contained.
“Sorry about crashing last night. I really wanted to have
some fun with you, but once I saw the bed all I wanted to do was sleep,” Edward
said. I looked up at him and saw that he was blushing. “I’ll make it up to you
tonight, baby. I promise.”
“Edward, I was just as tired as you. Though, trying to get
into bed was a challenge since you were spread eagle and drooling. I barely had
a corner,” I giggled.
“You could have pushed me,” Edward said, moving so he was
laying down with me.
“In case you haven’t noticed, you’re all muscle and it’s not
easy for little ole me to push your muscular ass,” I said, running my fingers
through his hair. “You were down for the count, Edward. Eventually, you moved
and I had more than a corner.”
“I am sorry, cantante,”
he said, kissing my nose. “Despite the fact that I slept like a freaking rock, I’m
still tired. Nap with me?”
“Nap as in sleep or nap as in get freaky, like Jasper?” I
asked.
