A/N: So I want to be an official Beta. And you have to have a story with 6000 words. So that is what I did. I'm not going to write anymore unless I get some reviews. But I'm also not looking forward to writing anymore, so if you want to torture me, then review, and I'll try to post another story.
Oh, and thanks to my lovely girlfriend twilightmom3, for practically making me write a story. Haha, just kidding… And I don't own Twilight, Stephenie Meyers does. I just make them do weird things.
It was only 2 months ago when I was approached by Jasper to try at a poly amorous relationship with he and his life partner Alice. I was still attending school and knew I liked men and women, but was unsure of how to go about a three way relationship. I've never had much luck with just one other person yet alone two, and I was too naïve to grasp the concept of what poly amour really meant. So of course, I declined the offer and had no intention of ever contacting them again.
So I didn't quite understand why I was getting a message again from Jasper asking if I had changed my mind. He and Alice still had no luck at finding a third, and I was out of school. So I told them that I wouldn't mind giving it a shot as long as things were taken slow. So we decided to meet up at a restaurant not far from both of our houses.
Bella glanced at the clock, it was almost 6. She was supposed to meet them at 6:30 and it took at least fifteen minutes to get there. And she wanted to get there early.
"Dad, where are my car keys?" she asked, running through the house like an animal.
"I have no idea Bells, where did you leave them?" Charlie responds, still glued to the television.
"If I knew where I left them, then I wouldn't be asking where they are, would I?"
"I think I saw them under the mail on your desk, did you check there?" he says, ignoring her attitude.
"Yes, twice, ugh, fine. I'll check again." She runs upstairs to her room, and spots her keys under the phone bill. And she starts heading downstairs and heads for the door.
"Did you find it?"
"Yeah, it was right where I thought it was," as she walks through the door.
She hears him mumble you're welcome as she slams the door shut. She runs to her truck, and starts it up. She heads over to the restaurant, with exactly fifteen minutes to get there.
As she's pulling into the restaurant, she notices that it's busy, so she gets a parking space in the back, and walks to the door. The hostess seats her near the door, so she can wait, and also because there weren't really any tables left. Another fifteen minutes go by, and Jasper and Alice still don't show up. Bella starts to worry about why they might not show.
What if they changed their minds? What if they don't find me interesting enough? Maybe their family disapproves, so they don't want to hurt them. What if something happened to them? Maybe I should call them, just to make sure everything is ok.
Bella pulls her phone out to call Jasper, but her phone rings instead. "Hello?"
"Hi Bella, it's Alice, we're running late, and traffic is horrific, but we'll be there soon."
"Oh ok, I was just about to call you to make sure everything was ok. I got a table in the front. See you when you get here." Bella said relieved.
"Sounds great. We'll see you in a bit."
Bella started watching the television screen in the restaurant while she waited. She tried to think of things to talk about when Alice and Jasper got there. Just as she got a few ideas, she feels an embrace around her, and as she glances away from the television, she notices it is Alice.
"Hi Bella!" Alice screams, hardly able to control herself.
"Hey guys, you nearly scared me half to death." Bella says shocked.
"Sorry we're late Bells, we had no idea where the keys to our Porsche were, all we could find were the keys to Edwards Volvo." Jasper states plainly.
"That's alright; I couldn't find my keys either. I thought for sure that you guys would beat me here, especially since you are always on time."
"Well, now that we're here, can we order something? I'm starving!" Alice interjects. As she sits next to Bella, pulling her seat closer.
"That sounds like a good idea, I'm hungry too. I haven't eaten all day. Not that I haven't been hungry. I just can't eat when I get really nervous." Bella rambles on.
The waitress walks over. "What can I get you guys to drink?" She pulls out a pen and pad of paper.
"A coke for me." Bella says.
"Me too." Both Jasper and Alice say at the same time.
"Three cokes," the waitress nods. "Would you like to start with an appetizer?"
Bella glances up at Jasper to see what he wants to do.
"Sure, can we get an order of the mozzarella sticks?" He asks.
"Of course, I'll get your drinks out to you. And the appetizer not long after."
The waitress leaves, as Jasper leans towards Alice and whispers something into her ear. Bella fidgets in her seat. Alice notices her uneasiness.
"Don't worry Bella. Jasper was just saying how pretty you look tonight." Bella starts to blush a shade of bright red.
"You look very nice, too," Bella says to Alice.
"So, we're all here to see how well we mesh, and so far we've agreed on cokes, mozzarella sticks, and that both of you are gorgeous women. But are there any questions that you'd like to ask us Bella?" Jasper questioned.
"Well, how many other women have you guys had? And how long have you been looking for a third?" Bella asks, almost embarrassed to want to know anything more than she already does.
"We've had one girlfriend before you, but she was more interested in separating us than in being with both of us. She preferred Jasper, and didn't like that I came first." Alice stated, looking at Jasper for confirmation.
"Yeah, but we're not looking for someone who only wants one of us, we want someone that completes us. So if you're still not completely sure, or think you might change your mind, we can stop now." Jasper said firmly.
"I had thoughts the first time you asked me, which is why I said no. But it doesn't sound too bad, and I'm definitely interested now." Bella stated.
"Well, we have a few questions too, if that's alright with you?" Jasper asks.
"Oh, that's quite alright, ask away!"
"Well, how many partners have you had, men and women?" Alice winks at Bella.
"Oh, those kinds of questions… Well, I've been with one man, my ex, and I've never actually been with a woman. So I guess that technically makes me bi-curious." Bella states, not sure what would have been sufficient.
"Oh, so you're practically a virgin." Jasper states very frank, giggling a bit. Bella starts to blush again, uncontrollably.
"If you're uncomfortable with these kinds of questions, then we can ask different ones." Alice says trying to make Bella feel better.
"No, I'm fine. I guess I just wasn't expecting those kinds of questions. What else would you like to know?" Bella asks, with a smile.
"Well, what are your likes and dislikes?" Jasper asked.
"Um, I like honesty. I don't think a relationship can survive without it. Which is why my last relationship didn't last, he wasn't honest with me." Bella blurted out.
Alice and Jasper glanced at each other. "That is the one thing that Jasper and I agree whole-heartedly on. Once trust is breached, it can never be the same again; which is why honesty is such a big part of our relationship. And when there are three people trying to make things work, you have to tell us everything you are thinking about or worried about, or the relationship will just fall apart."
They continued to chat about past relationships, and the things that have happened in Jasper and Alice's relationship that might be important to Bella. They ate their meals, and talked for hours. By the end of the night Jasper and Alice knew everything there was to know about Bella. The fact that her parents were divorced and her father Charlie didn't pay much attention to her. Her mother Renee was all the way down in Jacksonville with her step-father, Phil. So they talked on the phone a lot, but she couldn't afford to visit her often. Jasper and Alice shared their thoughts on having kids, and Bella learns that Alice is unable to have children because of a genetic defect.
"Are you interested in having children?" Alice asks Bella.
"I suppose someday, I would like to have a few. But I'm not really ready at the moment, and I'm definitely not mature enough to hold that responsibility." Bella said slowly. "I'm also still very young. I like to live my life to the fullest, and I'll have plenty of time in the future for children."
"That's understandable. So it could be assumed that you are on the pill then?" Jasper asked.
"Yeah, I've been on it since I turned 16. I have always had really bad cramps and acne, which my birth control has been known to decrease. So, Charlie didn't mind me getting it since it made me easier to live with." Bella explained.
The waitress interrupted the conversation by bringing the check. Jasper took the check, and pulled out a hundred dollar bill which was more than enough to cover the bill. When the waitress returned, Jasper told her that the rest was for her to keep. As Jasper, Alice and Bella got up to leave the waitress thanked them and gave them a box of free desserts.
"We were planning on heading home, but if you'd like to come with us, we could finish the conversation and get to know each other better." Alice hinted towards Bella. "But if you don't want to, that is quite alright, we could get together another night."
"I would like it very much so to come home with you guys; if that is alright with you and your family. Since I know you all are very close. And I wouldn't want to upset Jasper's parents or his brothers."
"No, that is quite alright. My parents don't mind our relationship, they don't believe in it, but they don't try to talk us out of it. And Emmett sees no problem with our relationship. He actually wishes his girlfriend Rosalie would be bi that way he could have two women too. The only one we'll have a problem with is Edward. He wouldn't even let us drive his car because he doesn't believe in cheating or committing adultery in any form. But he rarely spends time on the top floor, which is where we stay, so you most likely won't be bothered by him much at the house. And he spends most of his time playing on his piano and listening to music while reading to really know what's going on in the house." Jasper explained to Bella.
So they decided to meet up at Jasper's house which gave Jasper and Alice plenty of time to warn Dr. and Mrs. Cullen about Bella coming home with them. And try to ensure that Edward wouldn't be bothering anyone.
