Bella POV

"Bella? This is my cousin Edward." Alice said softly from beside me with a huge grin on her face. I wasn't paying much attention to her as I was staring at the most beautiful guy I had ever seen. He was tall and muscular, but not body builder like Emmett, Alice's brother. He had a gorgeous pile of messy bronze hair atop his head, and his eyes sparkled like perfect emeralds. Sure, I had seen pictures of the guy, but in person he was way better. As I smiled up at him, he smiled down at me with a charming crooked smile. At that second though, I realized that I would never be good enough for him. He was perfect, I was just average. He was a lion, and I was a stupid little lamb.

"Hello Bella. It's nice to finally meet you. Alice has told me much about you." He said, his smile getting bigger as he looked from me to his cousin. I was going to say something back, and normally I would have, only the way his voice seemed to caress my whole body, wrapping it in sweet, soft velvet, made me speechless. Luckily Alice was able to understand, so she replied quickly to a waiting Edward for me.

"Oh Edward, don't worry. Right now she's thinking that it's nice to meet you too. She just, well, kinda turns off." She said with a laugh. Edward laughed as well, and I just blushed. "Well, this is a family reunion. How bout we go and reunite with the family?"

"Sure." I finally spoke, breaking out of my trance. The three of us then walked in silence as we looked for Emmett, Rosalie, and Jasper. Finally we found them sitting under the old maple tree.

"Edward!" Emmett said as he jumped up and hugged his cousin. I almost laughed at how tiny Edward looked next to his cousin, but when standing alone looked so strong and built.

"Hey Em." Edward said with a smile.

"Hey Edward. I'm Rosalie, Emmett's girlfriend." Rose said as she smiled politely at Edward. He looked at Emmett and laughed.

"Yeah, I kinda figured. Emmett talks about you a lot." Edward said. Emmett smiled and punched him in the arm. "And you must be Jasper?" Edward asked.

"That's me." Jasper said as they shook hands. Okay, so long story short. I have four best friends. Alice, Jasper, Rosalie, and Emmett. Emmett and Rose are dating. Alice and Jasper are dating. Rose and Jasper are twins. Emmett, Rosalie, and Jasper will be going into their senior year after summer, and Alice and I will be juniors.

"Well it's great to meet you all." Edward said, glancing at me out of the corner of his eye. I blushed.

"Sooo... what do you guys wanna do?" Alice asked.

"Hot tub!" Rose said, jumping up. We all laughed.

"I love me some bubbly Jacuzzi!" Emmett said, kissing Rose on the cheek.

"Well then let's go!" Alice said, grabbing my hand and Jasper's and pulling us to the pool area. There was a huge underground pool with a slide and diving board and just about anything else that would make a pool amazing. The pool was in a kind of "u" shape, and there was an in ground hot tub in the middle of the open area of the u. Yeah, crazy, but Alice and Emmett's dad is a doctor, so they're like crazy rich. Every time I went to their house I was always in awe at some new amazing thing that they had. The three boys ripped off their shirts and got right into the Jacuzzi. I stood there for a second just looking at hoe perfect Edward's chest was, when Alice nudged me.

"What?" I asked.

"You are wearing that new blue bikini I bought you for this most special occasion right? Please tell me you didn't decide to wear any of the others?"

"Alice why does it even matter? You bought me the other ones too so shouldn't they look good no matter what?" I said. She gave me a look, and yes it terrified me. I sighed. "Yes I wore it." She giggled.

"Good. She said as she slipped off her sundress to reveal her gorgeous designer suit. It was a normal bikini with a white top, with different shades of orange and yellow sequins decorating the boob area. The bottoms were plain orange and it made her look really amazing. I then glanced at Rose. She was wearing a sweetheart shaped top with a strap going around the neck and connecting near her arms. It was a Victoria's Secret suit. It was all black with lace and other sexy touches to it. The suit was basically lingerie in a swimsuit. I sighed at how gorgeous she looked, and finally slipped off my shorts and shirt to reveal my brand new suit. It was Tiffany blue and just plain beautiful. It was sexy and sweet mixed into one small, very small, bikini, and it even made me, the albino, look tan. I looked towards the hot tub to see Rose getting in and Alice sitting on the edge with just her feet in. Emmett and Jasper were both engrossed in how perfect their girlfriends looked. I then looked at Edward and saw that he was just as engrossed in me. I smiled and blushed again, and then went to sit by him.

"You might want to close your mouth or flies will nest." I said laughing. He smiled too, and finally looked away from my body to my face.

"This might sound a bit weird since we just met, but you look beautiful." He said. At his words my heart pace quickened and I blushed. "Even more so now with that blush. The color looks lovely on you."

"Thanks" I said, blushing again, harder this time. Edward laughed.

"Well, not that I don't like you all, but I'm going swimming." Rose said as she jumped up, and ran to the diving board, doing a perfect dive into the icy blue water.

"Damn." Emmett said with a smile. "Who is that sexy lady?"

"Um..." Jasper said. Alice and I laughed.

"Well, are any of you coming?" Rose said as she came up to the surface. Emmett smiled and got out going to the diving board and imitating Rose. He jumped off and, instead of doing a dive like Rose, ended with a cannonball. Water sprayed everywhere and we just laughed.

"Nice Em. You're soooo talented." Alice giggled.

"Shutup baby sis!" Emmett said, splashing her. Alice laughed again and she and Jasper soon followed, entering through the slide instead.

"So, you live in Chicago?" I asked Edward. He nodded.

"Yep. Only I was born here."

"Oh." I said nodding.

"Have you lived in Forks all your life?"

"Nope." I said. "I used to live with my mom in Phoenix. But she remarried to a minor league baseball player. So because they travel a lot to go to his games and everything, I just decided to come live with my dad. I moved here in like seventh grade."

"Yeah. I definitely would've remembered you." He said. I, for like the gazillionth time, blushed at his words.

"When did you move from here?"

"The summer before my fifth grade year."

"Oh. And what are you now."

"I'll be going into my junior year of high school. Alice and I, and you I guess for that matter, are the same age."

"Oh." I said.

"BELLA! EDWARD! Get your butts into this pool NOW! We're gonna play Marco Polo!" Alice shouted right next to us from the pool. We looked up and laughed. Edward then stood up and got out of the hot tub, then offered his hand to me. I smiled, and slipped my hand in a place where it just felt right.

A/n: sooo..? what didja think? I love it so far(: it turned out a whole lot better than I thought it would. Hahah now you tell me. REVIEW! (:
