Hey guys! Thanks so much for the reviews, alerts/and or favorite adding! I'm glad to see you all like the idea of this story so far. I just hope it stays that way :)
I don't really have much to say at the moment so we'll just move on to the chapter.
Song used in this chapter is "All Summer Long" by Kid Rock.
DISCLAIMER:Stephanie Meyer owns all our favorite six. I just like to play with them and make them do things they wouldn't normally. Hehe.
Edward's POV
"Wake up sleepy head." The sexy voice whispered while it's owner trailed kisses down my neck to my chest.
This had been going on for the past twenty minutes and it was to good too stop just yet.
I was waiting for the moment where she got annoyed just like I knew she would.
"Edward you ass, I know you're awake. You're smiling like an idiot." Bella huffed smacking my chest.
Did I call it or what?
"Owww, that hurt ya know." I laughed rubbing the spot she smacked and opened my eyes.
"Good I'm glad. Now get up everyone will be here soon!" She shouted jumping out of bed getting dressed.
"Aw, do you have too?" I whined leaning up on my elbows. I hated when she covered her beautiful body and the tattoos that were on it. Her ribcage piece was one of my favorites. Sexiest fucking thing in the world...Along with the guns she had on her lower stomach. I really need to stop before I ended grabbing her taking her again. Although it wouldn't be the first time our friends have walked in on us.
Ah, good times.
Bella turned around quirking an eyebrow.
"Not unless you want Jazz and Emmett to see me naked." She smirked.
"Get dressed." I demanded and she laughed putting her shirt on the rest of the way.
"Hurry up. I'll meet you downstairs." She called over her shoulder as she walked out of the room.
Sighing I flopped back down on the bed rubbing my eyes.
Our best friends were coming in today. We hadn't seen Alice and Jasper in almost a year, and Emmett and Rosalie in 7 months. We were all on summer break from school and planned months ago that we would spend the summer together at my parents' house since they and Bella's parents had gone away for the summer. We haven't partied together since the summer after our high school graduation. It was definitely time to make up for that, and we were going to do just that this summer.
"Edward Anthony get your ass out of that bed now!" Bella screamed upstairs and I groaned rolling out of my bed.
I swear she's worse than my mother sometimes. Always screaming at me to do something. Word of advice to all you guys out there. Never move in with a girl, it's hell.
Grabbing my clothes off the floor and I threw them on before heading into the bathroom to take care of business and then headed downstairs.
"Happy now?" I asked sitting down at island counter that was in the kitchen.
"Yes thank you." Bella smiled going back to what ever she was eating.
"There's coffee over there. I know you need it."
"You were the ones who kept us up all night." I smirked getting up heading towards the coffee pot.
"Oh really? And was I the one who woke me up 4 hours ago?"
"Ok so I am the blame for some of it. But so are you."
"Are you complaining?"
"Hell no."
"Didn't think so." She smiled feeding me a bite of her cereal when I sat down next to her.
"When are they going to be here?"
"Jasper and Alice just met up with Em and Rose at the airport'. Ali said they'll be here in about 20 minutes..that was 10 minutes ago."
I nodded and we continued to talk while sharing Bella's cereal.
I guess I should explain mine and Bella's relationship...or try too anyway. It's really complicated, we don't even really understand it. It just is. We're best friends, have been since we were babies. We aren't "together" so too speak but we aren't available to other people either. We have sex with each other...a lot, and I may have developed some...Love like feelings for Bella along the way but she didn't know that. She wasn't that type of girl. But I was happy with what I had. We fought just like we were a normal couple, only maybe a bit more at times it depends on if we're drunk or not, held hands, cuddled, all that good shit. But what we have with each other is all we need. Which is why we got the tattoos that we did. I got a B on my right thumb for Bella and she has an E on her left thumb for Edward and when we hold hands it comes together to spell "BE". Which is something we always saying about our little relationship. We just simply BE, doesn't really make since to others, but it does to us. We know that no matter what happens, we will always be in each others lives. Whether as best friends, or fuck buddies with a fucked up relationship, we'll always be Bella and Edward.
I was putting the bowl and our coffee cups in the sink when I heard someone laying on their horn while coming up the drive.
Bella squealed grabbing my hand and dragging me out of the kitchen to the door.
"Bella!!!" Alice and Rosalie both screamed hanging out the windows of Emmett's hummer.
Rosalie and Emmett had drove to Seattle from California and met up with Alice and Jasper at the airport who were coming from New York.
I smiled at the sight of my best friends and wrapped my arms around Bella.
"Ready for the best summer ever?" I whispered in her ear.
Smiling she looked back at me.
"You better fucking know it." She smirked pressing a kiss to my lips and then ran out of my arms towards the hummer that was now parked throwing open the back door.
"What the fuck is up bro?" Emmett's loud booming voice echoed through the air as I made my way over to him and Jasper when they were out of the Hummer.
"You ready for this shit?" Jasper smirked giving me the "dude hug"
"Haha you know it. Partying here just isn't the same with out you guys." I laughed hugging Emmett.
"Booze is in the back, weed is in the duffel bags." Emmett said thrusting him thumb towards the Hummer.
I chuckled. "You two are already baked."
They just grinned and I shook my head.
"See you finally finished the sleeves dude, they look awesome." Jasper commented pointing towards my arms.
"Ha, yea. Just finished it up last month. Hard to believe it started out with the Phantom tattoo when I was 16." I nodded pointing to my Phantom of The Opera mask I had on my right forearm with "Let the dream begin" in script underneath it. We stood there talking for a little while longer, Emmett and Jasper showing me some of the new tattoos they had gotten. I had gotten my first one at 16 and after that I was I hooked. I took Bella to get her first, the E on her thumb when she was 17, and much like me after that she was hooked. Thank god our parents were cool though and didn't freak out. They never really freaked out over anything we did. Along as no one got hurt or killed we were cool. I loved it, we all did.
After a while we looked over at the girls who were talking too fast for us to understand.
"It's good to see you too little sister!" I shouted to my pixie like sister Alice and she looked over smiling at me.
"Hello big brother!" She chirped skipping over to me throwing her tiny arms around me.
"I've missed you." She whispered.
"I missed you too little one." I replied and we broke apart to see Bella and Rosalie had made their way over to us.
We all stood around talking outside for a good twenty minutes before finally heading inside after Emmett declared it was party time.
And so our summer began.
- - - -
It was 1989, my thoughts were short my hair was long
Caught somewhere between a boy and man
She was seventeen and she was far from in-between
It was summertime in Northern Michigan
Splashing through the sand bar
Talking by the campfire
It's the simple things in life, like when and where
We didn't have no internet
But man I never will forget
The way the moonlight shined upon her hair
And we were trying different things
We were smoking funny things
Making love out by the lake to our favorite song
Sipping whiskey out the bottle, not thinking 'bout tomorrow
Singing Sweet home Alabama all summer long
Singing Sweet home Alabama all summer long
Catching Walleye from the dock
Watching the waves roll off the rocks
She'll forever hold a spot inside my soul
We'd blister in the sun
We couldn't wait for night to come
To hit that sand and play some rock and roll
While we were trying different things
And we were smoking funny things
Making love out by the lake to our favorite song
Sipping whiskey out the bottle, not thinking 'bout tomorrow
Singing Sweet Home Alabama all summer long
Singing Sweet Home Alabama all summer long
Now nothing seems as strange as when the leaves began to change
Or how we thought those days would never end
Sometimes I'll hear that song and I'll start to sing along
And think man I'd love to see that girl again
Singing Sweet Home Alabama all summer long
Singing Sweet Home Alabama all summer long
Singing Sweet Home Alabama all summer long
Singing Sweet Home Alabama all summer long

Bella's POV
It had been a few hours since the gang had arrived and we all decided to head over to my place since I had a lake as my back yard. My dad was a big time fisher and finally got his dream a couple years back when we moved to the home they have now with the lake. It wasn't that far from Edward's so we all piled into Emmett's hummer and headed over.
"You guys I am so fucking excited for this summer. You have no idea how much I've missed you." Alice gushed as changed into our swim suits upstairs.
"We missed you just as much Ali. I have no one to pester me anymore on shopping!" I laughed tying my top around my neck. I was wearing my favorite bikini. It was black with bright neon colorful flowers and patterns on it.
"We'll make up for it this summer Bells! Don't worry!"
Rose and I laughed shaking our heads and we headed down stairs.
They guys were already outside most likely getting high. I'm so glad their back for the summer Edward's complaining about "his boys" not being here was starting to get annoying.
Walking down towards them Emmett whistled when he saw us.
"Damn ladies! Where have you been all my life?"
"Holy Hell Bella! When the fuck did you get that?!" Jasper exclaimed eying my ribcage tat.
"You like?" I smiled turning to the side to show it better. He and Emmett examined it muttering curses under their breath.
"Fucking hot ain't it?" Edward grinned and I laughed shaking my head going over to the cooler to grab a beer.
I truly was excited about this summer. My best friends were back and we were going to make the most of it.
"Hey babe. Jake just called, him, Leah and everyone else on their way over on the boat." Edward said when I walked over to him sitting in his lap.
Jake and that whole group of people had been friends of ours since we were in high school. Jake and Leah have been together since before they were born or some shit like that and the others just went with the flow. We hadn't seen them in a while neither so it would be good to see them too.
"Sweet. We haven't been on the boat in a while."
"We'll have to take it out tonight." He smirked wiggling his eyebrows at me taking a sip of his beer.
"You such a perv." I laughed.
"But you likee ittt."
I rolled my eyes turning back towards everyone, leaning into Edward's chest.
"You look fucking fantastic by the way." Edward whispered in my ear running his hand up my thigh, nuzzling his nose into my neck.
I shivered feeling his breath run down my back and smirked back at him.
"If you're lucky you can undress me later and play."
"Don't tease. That's not nice."
I laughed kissing the corner of his mouth and the rested my head against his.
No one understood mine and Edward's relationship, but we did and that's all that mattered. Yea we didn't go around whispering I love yous, or any of that cute shit, but we still had our "romantic" moments every now and then. We were in our own category and I liked it that way. We would always just be Bella and Edward.
"Bella let's go swim!" Alice shouted jumping up off Jasper's lap pulling Rosalie with her.
Downing my beer I threw the bottle into the garbage can and stood up unbuttoning my cut off jeans, shimming out of them.
"You're gonna kill poor Edward, Bella." Emmett snickered and I looked back seeing Edward trailing his eyes over my body licking his lips.
I giggled shaking my ass a little more in his face before throwing shorts at him and started towards the lake.
"What did I say about that not being nice!" He shouted and I laughed flipping him the bird over my shoulder.
Okie dokie. There's chapter one. Just getting you introduced to everyone and what not. Chapter 2 will be later on into the night after everyone is there, and the party is well under way. I hope you enjoyed this chapter, and are excited for what's to come. It's gonna get interesting! :) So just sit tight cause I promise it will be worth it.
As you can see I am including Jake in this story(he will be in my other as well, just not in human form. Haha. No ABL doesn't have anything to do with vampires or werewolves.), but there will be not of that him being in love with Bella crap. Sorry Jakey fans but that's just not for me. I love the dude, but him and Bella do not belong together in my opinion. ~Hides behind pillow~
Anywho, don't forget to check out the pictures I have posted for this story on my website(the Cullen house, swan house/lake, the girls bikini's, tattoos, etc etc). The link is on my profile. I do not have pictures up of the story characters yet, but I will. I am going to work on that as soon as I post this chapter and then I'm going to work on getting my next chapter for A Better Life up. So if you're also reading that story it will be updated soon! :)
Until next time.
Love,
Gidget
