Bella POV

I loved Christmas, the bright lights everywhere and the general happy feeling I got around the holidays it just brought a smile to my face. I was in my apartment packing my already fat suitcase. The dark round rectangular bag filled with my clothes for the holidays. Edward was in the other room sorting stuff out as well, me and Edward have been having a lot of fun since Nessie's birthday. Especially with Alice and jasper, actually that reminds me I need to pack the new underwear I brought. Maybe the sex toys too but I'm not sure anything is going to happen yet.

You see normally me and Edward have stayed with family over Christmas but this year our group of friends has secured a nice big cabin to stay at. Jacob actually has access to about six last time I asked. Isolated out in the woods, it was perfect for a little fun over Christmas.

Edward wandered into our room. His eyes focused as he went straight to the draws and dug out a small leather booklet. My boyfriend's near flawless memory meant he could pack quickly, sometimes I got jealousy over it. One day I spent five hours looking for my keys…five hours. I dug through everything in my hunt for them, I was ready to check the trash for the damn things, when Edward came home. He asked why I was looking for my keys when they were in my other pair of jeans.

"Edward what time is it?" I asked.

"Two thirty…Emmett's coming round about three he said."

After finishing college, or university for Edward, for the term we had planned to drive up ourselves. It wasn't that far from us here and the house Edwards parents had brought in forks was still available for us to stay in. We could have driven to forks, seen my dad for a bit then drive off into the woods to stay with Nessie and Jacob. However Emmett was driving further through where we were and had offered to take us with him. Said it would be more fun all four of us. So here me and Edward where. Packing for Emmet to pick us up shortly.+

I finally had everything packed and I and Edward waited outside. The cold December weather cut into me with every blow of the wind. The scarf Alice had brought me only a week before helped and Edward beside me kept me warm enough. His own black jacket looked so good on him. He been given it last time we'd visited his family back in England. Carlisle being adamant, as Edward called it, about it would look the best on his son and He'd never feel the cold. So far he'd been right. I was wearing my woollen hat to keep warm but Edward only needed that jacket. Edward looked at me, his green eyes happy something he'd got from Carlisle.

"I promise I'll get you something better for the cold," he said. I laughed to myself.

"Oh it's fine, I still have Alice's scarf," I said my fingers feeling the smooth material.

The red was part of Alice's recent obsession. About the same time as Nessie's birthday party Alice had started to buy a lot of red stuff. First a notebook for her textile lectures, red. Then that scarf, red. A pair of little clip on ear earrings, red. It just happened but luckily she was starting to ease out of it, she'd washed the red highlights out of her hair. The other day she'd bought a blue book while with me. Then a blue key ring…and a blue necklace for her mum for Christmas.

Edward leaned over, placed his lips to mine and gave me a gentle kiss while we waited. I relaxed into it and let his tongue into my mouth. The minty flavor almost made me giggle at first. I closed my eyes. Edward held my cheek in one hand. His tongue curled over mine.

Then I heard the sound of a car and much to my disappointment we had to break away. The big black SUV pulled over to us, the driver's side wind came down with a robotic hum. Inside was Rosalie, her beautiful face greeted us.

"Hay," Rosalie said. Her long golden hair, her cherry lips and those perfect eyes. Edward looked over Rosalie to the empty side seat.

"What happened to Emmett?" he asked.

From the back seats came a groan,

"Yeah…I'm here, alive…barely," He croaked. Rosalie rolled her eyes in response.

"Somebody had a party with the team and may have had too much," She said. She gestured to the boot of the car, pushing some button in the front, "Come on then." Edward Picked up my bag with his own and walked to the back of the Jeep. I jumped into the passenger seat with Rosalie. We quietly spoke, how she was, how I was. I asked about how she was doing in college and she did the same to me. Her bright yellow top and jeans. A dark grey jacket over the top with a furry collar to it. As Edward jumped in behind Rosalie taking his jacket off, she looked at him through the rear-view mirror.

"So Edward how many languages now then?" she asked.

"Naw awr, gan gynnwys Cymraeg, Groeg, Rwsia, Ffrangeg, Saesneg, Lladin, Sbaeneg, Almaeneg, Eidaleg. Rwy'n credu fi angen i weithio ar y ffonoleg er."

Emmett looked pale as if he was going to be sick. Red rings around his eyes as he strained to think.

"What crap did he just say?" Emmett groaned, "Sounds like fucking elves are back here." Rosalie sighed,

"Oh please Emmett." She pulled back onto the road and we began to drive off.

"I'm guessing it's Welsh," I said. A nod came from behind Rosalie.

"Quidem," Edward said in reply. Rosalie's face scrunched up in confusion, yet it was still pretty somehow. Rosalie somehow was always good-looking, I never worked out what black magic she must have been used to constantly stay that good-looking.

"Wait was that also Welsh?" She asked. Edward just grinned to himself as I sighed.

"No, probably Latin…I swear Rose I've had to pick up one of his bloody books just to work what he's saying lately, he just picks it up way too fast."

Rosalie laughed lightly.

"Hey you weren't there when he started learning the early stuff, he use to charm the girls with poems in French." She said. I put my head over to look at Edward, he shrugged.

Meanwhile Emmett rubbed his head in the back and stated to speak again with a loose groan.

"Hang on a second, where the fuck is Welsh?" He slurred.

Edward clamped his mouth trying not to laugh. I couldn't help but smile.

"No that's just the language, the place is called Wales, it's in the UK," I said.

Emmett just knitted his brows.

"The what?"

Rosalie sighed.

"Emmett I know you're hung-over but please try to think baby, it's in England," She said. I grunted as Edward in the back adjusted himself, leaned forward as he spoke back.

"You mean Britain or UK, you know United Kingdom, it is not part of England," he said. Honestly last time he used that authoritative tone I was bent over his lap. He where experimenting in role-play before you ask. Emmett groaned again.

"What does it matter then whatever it's called?" He said. Edward just sat back and looked out the side window.

"I'm just making sure you get it right otherwise it's like you're saying Texas and Maine are the same place."

"We've been there with Edward's parents, Carlisle's cousin lives there," I added. I watched as Rosalie drove us on, wouldn't be long before we got back to forks and then the holiday could really begin.

As we drove I checked my phone regularly. I was getting texts from Alice, she had been so excited last time I saw here. She had left a few days before us to meet Jasper. It was when I heard Alice talking about the long distance relationship that I was glad me and Edwards colleges were close enough to share an apartment together. Well university for Edward, he had to keep correcting every one on that.

"By the way...Alice was saying she may have stayed at your place in forks" I said to Edward. I grumbled back.

"I told them its fine but please tell me they cleared up after themselves?" he asked. I kept my eyes away from his as the reply came back.

"Err...well, they haven't seen each other in a while...she may have forgotten too..."

Edward put his head onto his hand as he looked out the window as we got steadily closer to forks.

"Where did they do it?" he asked. The old me would have been too embarrassed to ask but the new me had gotten to know Alice well enough not too worry.

"Err...bathroom, bedroom, kitchen, living room and the garden...wait garage too..." I said, surprised a little at my own voice as i spoke. I defiantly under estimated how much Alice had missed Jasper. Emmett tried to chuckle but it ended up in him coughing. Edward sighed.

"I don't mind them banging in my house as long as they clean up after themselves and don't do it in my parents room," he said. Rosalie grinned as she turned at the sign for Forks.

"Well look at it this way...they did one of those two rules right."
