I was sitting down in the study in the Cullen household with Esme as I fidgeted nervously with the hem of my blue blouse. I had asked Esme if I could talk to her but now I just wished I had asked Edward to do it. I've always been terrible at talking to people; even if that person was technically my mother-in-law; and now was no exception. Every time I tried to phrase my problem it would always sound wrong in my head and then I would try to rephrase it and that would make it worse.

"Bella, dear, what's wrong?" Esme asked in a worried tone.

Oh great now I've made her worried great job Bella, I mentally scolded myself. Might as well tell her before it gets any worse.

"Esme," I started cautiously. "Edward and I have decided that it would be in our best interests if we moved out for a little while; see the world; experience new things." Well that didn't sound too bad; aw whom am I kidding that sounded terrible. I hope she doesn't get the wrong idea.

"It's Emmett," Esme answered finally. "He's been annoying you two hasn't he? If he has I'll get him to stop. Or is it Alice? Has she been forcing you into being Bella Barbie too often?"

Well she wasn't too far off the ball. They had been doing those things but there was also the matter of Edward and I being a new couple with a more physical relationship. And trying to find time to us in a house of now 8 vampires, including us, can be extremely hard. It also doesn't help that they have no sense of privacy; apparently a closed door means nothing to them.

There were the number of times were a member of our family have walked in on Edward and me in some ... more intimate situations. There was the time were we were in our room when Alice walked in…

(Flashback)

After a romantic "dinner outing" with Edward, I was sitting on our bed in my underwear; which was partly ripped to shreds; and Edward was wearing absolutely nothing – which rather suited him. Suddenly the door bursts open and there stood Alice staring at us with wide eyes. Seconds felt like hours as they ticked by while we stared each other out in part shock, part embarrassment and part annoyance.

"I was going to ask if I could borrow Bella so she could try on this blouse I bought her" Alice confessed, looking rather uncomfortable … I wonder why, " but I can see that you are… preoccupied at the moment."

And with that she went to turn away but before she did, she chuckled, "Oh and Bella, it looks like we need to go to Victoria's Secrets. That set wont survive the night at this rate!"

She turned away, laughing as she went, as she successfully managed to ruin the mood.

(End Flashback)

And there was the time in the kitchen; I know what your thinking 'in the kitchen? Come on have some control!' but I'll have you know that as a newborn vampire emotions are very hard to deal with (especially if you have a very hot-looking, topless Edward standing across from you); when Esme came in to try out one of her new recipes...

(Flashback)

He sat me on the counter and I rapped my legs around his waist as we kissed passionately. Edward slid my shirt off with his entrancing hands, never failing to touch every curve of my body, which caused a moan to escape my busy lips. Suddenly the door creaked open revealing a very embarrassed looking Esme standing in the doorway.

"Oh My!" She exclaimed flustered, as I hurried to put my top back on. "I'm ever so sorry to interrupted. I'll… erm… leave you guys alone... shall I?"

And with that she left leaving an extremely embarrassed Bella and a shocked Edward standing in the kitchen.

(End Flashback)

And finally there was the time in the garage in Edward's car; and yes I know a car, I do have a problem with control over my emotions, but it's not all my fault! Its partly Edward's too. This time Emmett walked in…

(Flashback)

He threw me into the backseat of his precious Volvo. I giggled as he trailed his hand down the length of my spine and I completely ignored the opening of the garage door.

I forgot about the huge person standing in the garage casually watching us when a booming voice said, "Bella, I'm sure Rosalie wont mind if you borrow her cape and boots. Hmmm… Wonder Woman? No… Cat Woman! That will sure spice things up a bit. And Edward, I'm shocked that you wouldn't have used your imagination and used a costume! You look like a batman to me… or maybe a Robin…"

And with that he left the garage, almost doubling over in laughter as he went.

(End Flashback)

He still wont let me forget that. I swear at every available moment he manages to work in a sexual innuendo aimed at Edward and me and I swear I can't take it any longer.

I'm not saying I don't live living with the Cullens; I do, honestly; but we just need some time on our own. Preferably far, far, far away from Emmett for a few years.

"Esme they haven't done anything, well Emmett has been Emmett but it's nothing we can't handle. It's just that... we need some time alone for awhile… you know?" I was floundering as I reached the end and trailed off embarrassed.

There was an awkward silence as Esme tried to decipher an answer to my explanation. The silence only added to my embarrassment and before I knew my leg was twitching as I waited for her to reply. Calm it, Bella. She'll answer you soon. She won't mind, it's only natural for a couple to want to spend some time on their own, I thought to myself.

Eventually I could see the understanding on her face as she smiled reassuringly at me and answered in a gentler tone. "Bella, it's nothing to be embarrassed about. Of course you can move out for a while. I only wish you could have asked me sooner, I knew something was up I just didn't know what was wrong. You had me worried that something was terribly wrong."

I smiled at her as I breathed a sigh of relief. I only hope Edward's conversation with Carlisle had gone this well.

"Now, dear, lets go and look at a map and I'll show you all the places we have houses or close friends you could stay with." She stood and gracefully strolled over to the bookcase, studied it, and returned with what looked like a massive, folded map. I helped unfold it… the thing was twice the same size as a double bed!

"Okay, now, you can always stay with the Denali Clan…"

"No!" I roared, "I mean… sorry… erm… you know how much Tanya… feels for Edward. I wouldn't feel comfortable."

"Oh yes, I remember. Oh! I know exactly where you two could go!" She traced the map with her long nails, eventually stopping on a island just off the coast of France, Great Britain.

"England? Isn't that a bit sunny?"

"Maybe," Esme looked thoughtfully at the map, "but Scotland isn't. It's almost as cloudy as forks, and it has a lot of culture! My good friends, the Douglas Clan, live in a small town called Anniesland in the West End of Glasgow. Now don't be put off by their accent… they are a little intimidating."

"We'll take it!" I exclaimed but she looked at me warily with a flash of concern in her eyes.

"I probably should also warn you that they are animal feeders… but they are not the only clan in the area. The McDonald Clan lives in Partick, close by, and they feed on humans."

"That's okay. We can deal with them. We'll move to ... Glasgow then." I smiled. To be honest, I couldn't wait!
