When Bella came down the stairs with Rosalie next to her he growled again and tried to escape Emmet's grasp, but that was near impossible due to his strength.
The other members of the Cullen family looked confused between Edward, Bella and Rosalie and couldn't quite figure out what exactly was happening. At least not until Jasper gasped and rushed to envelop Rosalie into a tight hug.
"Oh I'm so happy for you Rose. You finally told her."
If Rosalie would still be able to blush she surely would be ten shades of red by now. "That is not exactly what happened."
Bella couldn't help but snicker at that and slipped her hand in Rosalie's to calm the blonde somewhat down and to reassure her, that she didn't have to go through this on her own. Now the others seemed to also to catch on to what was happening and while Alice was next to hug both Rosalie and Bella, the others send even more concerned glances in Edward's direction. The boy had stopped struggling somewhere along, his eyes now nearly bulging out of his head because of what he was hearing from his family. Why were they suddenly so sure that Rosalie was Bella's mate? She was his, he had made that clear by claiming her in front of the others the day he introduced her to them.
"So what exactly did happen?" Alice asked curiously with her head tilted to one side.
Bella blushed a deep red and buried her head in the crook of Rosalie's neck. Rosalie chuckled "Bella surprised me in my room when I was changing, so it was her who basically told me how she felt and the rest you don't need to know."
"What? I don't get the juicy details?" Emmet boomed, which earned him a low growl from Rosalie. That was the moment where Edward decided to speak up.
"What are you all talking about? Rosalie hates Bella, that's why I never leave them alone together. Why were you even at home Rose?"
Bella looked at him warily and before Rosalie could answer Edward she stepped in and simply said "She hates me as much as I love you and if you would pay more attention to your surroundings you would've noticed that."
Edward just looked at her like a lost puppy and when it dawned on her, that he really had no clue she repeated very clearly "I don't love you Edward. I'm sorry I got confused with all the attention you were giving me, but my heart was never yours. It belongs to Rose."
