And the story continues…

BPOV:

Edward looked very uncomfortable. I was too curious-and honestly jealous- to feel uncomfortable myself. But the way he talked about them made me a little smug…and then worried. He wasn't interested in them, that I knew for sure now…But what about then? When I wasn't there?

I pictured him surrounded by those stupid vampire sluts. I was suddenly furious, but I hid it as much as I could. 'Better not to think about that,' I thought to myself.

Then to my surprise, I realized his quiet laughter was shaking the bed. I suddenly felt worried, which was probably poorly hidden. What if he liked thinking about them?

'Why is he laughing about this?' I thought irritated.

"Why are you…never mind. Continue with the story," I commanded. He abruptly stopped laughing. Most likely because he had to continue with his uncomfortable story.

As he was talking about Carmen and Kate, it made me think of how mature I had already become while I was still just a child. But that was years ago.

"…As first it was kind of cute," he said. That pulled me out of my reminiscing. "But then it became really annoying. They act like those bratty cousins that no one wants to be near at the family reunion because they'll do something irritating."

That made me remember something that happened with my cousins. I scowled at the floor. "I have a few of those that I can name," I said darkly.

-FLASHBACK-

"Bella! Your cousins just got here!" I heard Renee call to me.

"Bella! Bella! Bella!" I heard Tyler and Candace shout in unison.

'h joy! Those blue eyed, orange haired twerps, or as I liked to call them, the devils spawns, have come to join us!' I thought to myself. 'If only Renee knew what those 10 year old, snobby pains acted like.'

They ran into the room smiling pretending to be the sweet little angels that everyone-besides those in my family that were my age and myself-thought they were. Oh those poor, ignorant people.

"Hello Bella!" They ran to me and gave me a huge hug.

Carly, their older sister, rolled her eyes at them and smiled apologetically at me. I took that as 'You're their target.'

'Shit!' I glared down at them. They smiled up at me devilishly.

Then they turned and gave everyone else sweet little hugs. I scowled. How I hated them.

"Okay everyone!" my mom said excited. "Now that everyone is here, let's go eat!"

When we got outside, everyone sat down at the table. 'Funny how I ended up between these two pain in the asses,' I thought angrily.

The food was great though. I couldn't deny that.

"Bella?" called my mom. I looked around and found her face. "Yeah?" I felt like her mom. I laughed at the irony. My mom could be very childish. I don't know what kind of mess she would be in if I wasn't here to take care of her. Shouldn't it be the other way around.

She smiled at me realizing how that sounded. I returned her smile and went to go get her cake.

I found her cake sitting on the buffet in the entry way. I heard the sliding glass door close quietly. When I turned around, the twins had the most mischievous looks on their faces.

"What are you two doing in here? I thought that you're supposed to be outside with everyone else." I was beginning to get worried.

A wicked grin crossed Tyler's face. "Oh but Bella, we were just so damn bored."

"Yeah, Bella," Candace began to add. "We just wanted to play with out favorite, clumsy, stupid, shit-for-brains cousin."

'God!' I thought. 'What mouths those kids have!"

Before I realized what was going on, Candace got on her hands and knees in front of me while Tyler pushed me. I fell over Candace and face first into the cake.

At that moment, Renee walked in. She looked surprised but her expression suddenly turned to one of amusement.

"Bella, you look ridiculous," she laughed. I scowled into the cake. I abruptly turned to the two little devils. "It was them!" I spat.

They turned to Renee with innocent expression on their faces. "No it wasn't!" yelled Tyler. Candace started to cry. She was really good at that.

"Isabella Marie Swan! I am astonished that you would blame these two little angels for something like that!" She ran to Candace and gave her a motherly hug.

While Renee's back was turned, Candace looked over her shoulder and gave me a smug look. She stuck out her tongue, then continued to whimper.

-FLASHBACK ENDS-

Stupid cousins. I hated those brats. I shuddered at the thought of what they were like now.

I looked into Edward's eyes. Those beautiful eyes that were-at this moment- a butterscotch color.

'What had we been talking about again?' I thought to myself.

'Oh yeah. Denali." It disgusted me to think of that place.

"So?" I pressed on.

He smiled and started to tell me the story.

We know that this chapter was totally off topic, but we thought it would be funny to show those evil little cousins that no one wants to be around at the family reunion. : )

We hope this was a satisfying chapter.

Please, please, please review!
