Hi! I hope everyone is having a good Christmas. I know I am! Anyway, if anyone read my other story I wrote in the summer, 'Player or Bella??' I decided to give up on it. It never really got started, and I ran out of ideas. Anyway, I like this idea, so am trying it out. This first chapter's really short, but if it works, the next chapter will be a lot longer. Enjoy!

"Happy Birthday, Bella!" said my mom, pulling me into a bear hug.

"Mom, please. You know I don't like celebrating my birthday." I said, manoeuvring myself out of my mother's embrace.

"Oh, fine. I just thought that because you turn twenty-one this year, you might be a bit more excited to celebrate your birthday. I mean, you can finally drink!" I snorted, but nodded. Little did my mom know, but I've been drinking every Saturday night since I was sixteen.

"Sure, Mom," I said, humouring her. "So, where are dad and Alice??" Alice was my unidentical twin sister, and we'd been inseparable all the way up to senior year in High School. Then we'd become interested in different things, meaning that we didn't go the same university, as we'd always planned. I missed her loads, though, and had spent weeks looking forward to seeing her again.

"They're through the back, dear." Said my Mom, and I quickly kissed her cheek, dropped my bag, and ran through our massive house to the back room. I hadn't even entered the room before-

"BELLA!!!!" Screamed Alice, and she launched herself onto me.

"Bella, Bella, Bella! I missed you sooooo much!!!" She cried into my shoulder. I giggled.

"Alice I missed you too!" I laughed.

"Happy Birthday!" We both shouted, and then giggled again. Our twin telepathy was still intact, it appeared. It was then I noticed to very handsome blonde man, sat in the corner, looking incredibly uncomfortable.

"Hey, Alice," I said. "When were you planning on introducing me to your friend?!" I teased, nodding in the man's direction.

"Ohh!" She gasped, and skipped to his side.

"Bella, I'd like you to meet my fiancée, Jasper Whitlock. Jasper, this is my twin sister I never shut up about, Bella." I shot Alice a look, and shook the man's hand.

"Wow, so you attempt to make an honest woman out of my sister. Good luck!" I snickered. "Congratulations, you guys!" I said, and gave them both a hug.

"Oh, I love cake!" I exclaimed. My mom raised her perfectly sculptured eyebrow.

"I thought you didn't like celebrating your birthday." She challenged. I sat down and helped myself.

"I don't. But cake is good, and I might as well accept anything you're going to give me." I said, and shot her a sideways look.

She suddenly looked guilty, and I quickly covered for myself.

"But I mean if you didn't buy me anything because you didn't think I'd want it, I mean, that's fine-"

"Don't be stupid, of course we got you something!" She laughed. "Here." And she handed over a package.

"Charlie bought you something too, but he's playing golf at the moment, so he'll give it to you later, and I think Alice is showing Jasper around the town." But I wasn't listening.

"Mom! The new Macbook?! How did you know? The one you got me last year was getting a little out dated, but I wasn't going to ask." My mom laughed.

"Well you're welcome sweetie. I just thought we should soften you up 'cause we've, ugh, well, we've got some news." She admitted guiltily. Now I was interested.

"Oh yeah? What news?"

"Ah. Well, I should really wait for your father..."

"Mom. It's my birthday. Please tell me." I tried to convince her.

She sighed and walked over to a cupboard in the corner. She looked inside and found a folder labelled, 'Bella's First Year'. I furrowed my brow in confusion. I was turning twenty-one. What news could they possibly give me about something that happened two decades ago? Looking inside she pulled out two pieces of paper and handed them to me. One of them was my birth certificate. Born 13th September 1988. Well I already knew that. The other was what seemed to be a contract.

I looked up at my mother in disbelief.

"I'm ENGAGED??!!"

Dun dun duunn! Ok, so like I said, I'll only carry on with this if it seems to work, which means I need honest reviews, or I'll get bored and give up. So please review!
