Chapter 3- EPOV

"Who", Bella asked. She looked at us with a very confused expression. This girl had no idea of who I was.

"Bella, you have never heard of Edward Cullen", my sister asked her. She shook her head saying no. Alice screeched at the top of her lungs.

"What is wrong with you Bella? You need to get out more and watch more TV", she said.

Bella looked a little hurt by the way that Alice was yelling at her. "I- I don't hardly watch TV, Alice", she mumbled out, then she blushed, I could tell she was embarrassed and hurt. I decided that this angel should not feel bad in anyway.

"Alice its fine, I'm glad she doesn't know who I' am", I said. Alice looked back at me like I was crazy. "Plus there is more important stuff than watching TV". I looked back up at Bella, she looked relieved that I stepped in to help her. Alice huffed out loud and walked away. Bella bent back down to pick up the rest of her stuff. I finished helping her and took some of the boxes to her room. After we set them down she turned around to look at me.

"Thank you and I'm really sorry I don't know you", she said and then looked down. I walked over to her and put my finger under her chin to get her to look at me.

"Bella, it's ok, in fact it's wonderful. I came here to get away from all of that. Don't let Alice ridicule you for not being into that gossip celebrity stuff", I said. She nodded. "It think we're going to be great friends". She chuckled a little and smiled.

I turned around to leave. "If you need anything I'm across the hall" and then I walked out. I walked back downstairs. Everyone was crowded around the blonde girl. "Rose", Alice was calling out to her. I looked up at Emmett; I could already tell he had a crush on this girl, by the look in his eyes.

Rosalie's eyes started opening. She looked around at everyone till her eyes landed on me. "I'm sorry", she said.

"It's ok, are you alright", I asked. She went to sit up; Emmett stepped forward to help her. That's when she finally noticed him. They locked eyes and just started into each other till Alice cleared her throat. We all looked at Alice.

"Rose, I would like you to meet my brother, Edward and his best friend Emmett". She pointed each of us out. Rose just started smiling again. "Guys, this is Rose, my best friend and the other girl is Bella, also my best friend". We both shook hands.

She turned to look at me once again. "Listen I'm really sorry about that, it's just that I have never met anyone famous before".

I nodded in understanding. "It's fine, I completely understand", I replied.

"So boys what are you doing here", Alice asked. We all sat down in the living room and explain about how I was getting away and that we were here for the whole summer. Alice was very excited. Emmett and Rose were grinning like mad to each other. I would give that a week and they would be all over each other.

"Alice I think you need to apologize to Bella, she was very hurt that you were yelling at her", I said.

"I guess you right, I just don't understand", she replied.

"What are you talking about", Rose asked.

"Bella has no idea who Edward is and I kind of went off on her about getting out more often". Alice replied

"What", Rose and Emmett said. "How can she not know you", Rose asked

"We all know how Bella is, she loves her books better than anything, she doesn't care about anything else", Alice said.

Rose and Alice rolled their eyes at each other. "Alice why didn't you tell me you were relate to him", Rose asked.

They didn't know about me and Alice being brother and sister. Why was Alice hiding that from her two best friends? Alice looked down at her hands. "Because I didn't want you just to be friends with me, because he was my brother", Alice said. Now I understood why. Alice was just protecting herself.

"Alice, how could you think that? Bella and I love you very much. You are our sweet, shopaholic sister that we would not trade the world for", Rose said getting up to hug Alice.

"Thank you that really means a lot", Alice replied. Alice got up from her chair and grabbed Rose's hand. "Let's go see how Bella is". The girls left and went upstairs. Emmett watched Rose's every move. I reached over and slapped him on the back of the head. He looked at me and started laughing I joined in soon.

After Edward left, it's like I was in some sort of daze, just the feeling of him touching me and caring about what I think. Alice really did hurt me. I really had no idea who this Edward Cullen was. I hardly ever watch TV and when I do it's usually the news. So I guess he was some big shot Hollywood actor, like I would ever really have a chance now. Plus I really felt embarrassed I didn't know him. I finally got all my stuff put in the correct spots; I saw that Alice had basically filled up my closet with clothes that she bought. I swear this family has more money than Donald Trump and Bill Gates put together.

I had just plopped down on my bed when Alice and Rosalie came in. They came and sat next to me.

"Bella, I'm really sorry I was mean to you and I understand that's just who you are that's what we love about you", Alice said.

"Really", I asked

"Yes, who cares if you know nothing of the celebrities and the outside world? We understand that your books are enough for you", Rose said.

"Thanks guys, I really love ya'll too, you're the best", I said. We all did a group hug and laid back down on the bed.

"So, Emmett is so good looking", Rose said changing the subject.

"What", Alice and I both said.

"He just so fine and nice, I can't wait to spend more time with him", Rose said with a dreamy look in her eyes.

"I get to play match maker", Alice yelled out

"You have fun Alice, just don't involve me", I replied

"I don't know about that. I think my brother has his eye on you", Alice said

"What are you talking about", I asked

"Edward, I think he likes you", She said

"When did this happen", Rose asked

I went into explanation about what happened with me falling, everyone coming in and Edward walking me to my room. They were very excited. I could tell Rose and Alice is planning something. Rose also agreed that Edward did like me, but whatever let them have their fun, but they will also see that he does not like him.

"Girls, come down here", I heard Carlisle yelled. We got up and ran down the stairs. The boys, Carlisle and Esme were all sitting around the living room. I walked over to Carlisle. He was very tall and had blonde hair with blue eyes. Carlisle was like my second father, as was Esme my second mom.

"Thank you so much for letting me stay for the summer", I told him while giving him a hug. He hugged me back and said "Your welcome". Carlisle and Esme were standing up, Edward and Emmett were sitting on the couch together. Rose went and sat down beside Edward and I took the seat across from them.

"Where is Jasper", Esme asked

"I'm right here", Jasper said. I looked up to see Jasper walking in through the door. He had blonde curly hair with blue eyes. He is also very tall. Jasper has this way of calming people down, which is perfect for Alice's hyper pixie self. Jasper kissed Alice on the cheek and pulled her into his lap in the other chair.

"So what's going on", Alice asked.

"Well we have a surprise for you", Esme said

"We have rented ya'll a house in Hawaii for a week in July and we paid for your airfare", Carlisle said.

"What", Rose, Alice and I said together.

"It's your graduation present", Esme said

"Are you guys coming", I asked Esme and Carlisle

"No, but the boys are going with you" Carlisle said.

We all jumped up and hugged one another then hugged Carlisle and Esme and thanked them. This was defiantly turning out to be the best summer ever.

EPOV

After all the girls left to go upstairs to talk to Bella; Emmett started talking about Rose.

"She's so hot. I have a feeling she's 'The One', Em said.

"Sure bro", I replied while walking over to the couch to sit. Emmett sat down beside me.

"Well I think you found someone too", He said

"What", I asked

"Bella", was all Emmett said

"I don't like her", I stammered back.

"Keep telling yourself that", Em replied.

"You are absurd", I said back

"Whatever I saw the way you two were looking at each other. I can practically already see the love in yours and Bella's eyes".

Did Bella like me? I sure as hell liked her. She was perfect and I would do anything to be with her, but I would have to keep her a secret. If the press found out they would never leave her alone and she would not like that environment, she doesn't even watch TV. Protecting her from all of that would have to be my goal if we were to get together, yep if.

I looked back at Emmett; he had that knowing smirk on his face. "Thinking about her aren't you", he laughed at me.

"Shut up", I yelled at him.

"Edward, you have the chance to be with a beautiful girl who doesn't even know who you are. I would take that opportunity up and try and be with her, like I'm going to be with Rose. Take a chance in life; you never know Bella could be your soul mate".

"You and that mushy love stuff is getting out of hand", I said.

"Edward, don't ever doubt love look at your father and me", Esme said walking into the room.

"Ok, let's stop talking about love", I said

"Fine Edward, but I'm only going to say this. You will know when you find the right one", Esme told me. She gave me a kiss on top of my head.

"Is that Edward's car out there", I heard my father yell from the front door.

I got up and went to the door. "Dad", I said pulling him into a hug.

"Oh, Edward, It's good to see you son", he said giving me a pat on the back.

"What's going on", he asked

"Well I'm home for the summer", I replied while walking into the living room sitting back down next to Emmett.

"That's wonderful son", Carlisle said. He walked over to Esme and kissed her very passionately on the lips. He pulled back and put his arm around her waist. "Emmett it's good to see you son". He patted Em on the shoulder.

"You too, dad", Em said. Emmett was very much a part of this family just like I was part of his family back in sunny LA.

"That's great. Now you both can go with the girls to Hawaii", Carlisle said

"Hell yeah", Em said.

"Watch your language", Esme said hitting him gently on the shoulder.

"I don't want to go", I said

"Please Edward, you can watch out for your sister", Esme said

"Plus you can spend time with BBEELLAA", Emmett yelled out

"You like Bella, son", Carlisle asked.

"No, I hardly know her", I said. I was really getting tired of talking about Bella.

"He does he just doesn't realize it yet", Em said

"Edward, that's wonderful you finally found someone. Anyway please go with the girls to Hawaii", Carlisle asked

"I'm in", Em said. I looked back at my parents they both had pleading looks on their faces.

"Fine, I guess I can hide out there to", I said.

"Great". Carlisle walked over to the stairs. "Girls come down here".

Bella, Alice and Rose both came down a few minutes later. Carlisle and Esme told them the news about going to Hawaii. They were very excited and to tell the truth I was excited to. I would be able to spend time with Bella, maybe she would be the one after all. We would be leaving about a month from now. They had a beautiful house rented for us right on the beach and bought us all airplane tickets, of course Emmett and I would have to get our plane tickets now.

After everyone had settled down it was about 9pm. Carlisle and Esme said goodnight to everyone and went to bed.

"So let's watch a movie", my sister said bouncing up and down. Everyone agreed and got up to make our way downstairs.

"Edward, Bella, why don't you get the popcorn and drinks", Alice said. That evil little pixie was up to something.

"Ok", Bella said. She went into the kitchen. I looked at my sister and glared at her and all she did was smirk at me. I walked away from her and went to help Bella. She was already popping the popcorn so I went to get the drinks. Five minutes later we made our way down to the finished basement. I was amazed when I got down there. It was state of the art. The screen was surrounded by wood paneling, hardwood floors with about a million speakers. There was a big recliner and a rounded couch. Everyone was already in their seats. Jasper and Alice had the recliner; Rose and Emmett were on one end of the couch, which left the other end for me and Bella.

We passed out all the food and drinks. Alice had already picked out a movie. I walked over and turned out the lights and settled myself between Em and Bella.

"What are we watching", Bella asked

"Well, since you don't know who my brother is. I picked out one of his", Alice said

"Ah, Alice, Why", I whined. I hated watching my own movies. I was very self conscious of myself on screen and I didn't really want Bella to think any different of me by watching one of my movies.

"Because it's my favorite and I want Bella to see", she replied.

The credits started rolling and I automatically knew which movie she picked.

"Alice how could you", I said

Alice just started laughing. "Just so you know payback is a bitch", I said. She stuck her tongue out at me. The movie she picked just happened to be one where I'm naked at the end of the movie, but it is also one of my favorites to film. I got to be an undercover agent and I fall in love with the criminal I'm supposed to catch. It's really a great movie. We all just sat there quietly watching the screen. I could feel Bella right next to me. It's like there is this electricity pulling me to her. I wonder if she could feel it.

About an hour later, I looked over at Emmett him and Rose were already holding hands. I started silently laughing at him. All of a sudden I felt something hit my shoulder. I looked over and saw Bella leaning her head against my shoulder. She was sound asleep. She looked very uncomfortable so I moved her head down into my lap and pulled her legs up on the couch so she was lying down. I felt her shiver so I pulled the blanket from behind me and covered her up.

I started rubbing my fingers up and down her arm. A little while later she turned around and put her face into my stomach. I pushed her hair back so I could see her face. She was just so beautiful. Her eyes were closed and her mouth was open just a little. I would love to just lean down and kiss them. I reached down and rubbed my thumb across her cheek. I could still feel the electricity running through us. She moved her hand and grabbed my shirt very tight and pulled herself closer to me. This made my heart go into overdrive. I realized I never had a chance against this beautiful creature in my arms. I was already in love with her and didn't even realize it. My heart would always belong to her whether she knew it or not. I now understood love at first sight and this was defiantly it. Everything about her drew me in more and more. I would make it my goal this summer to let her know how I felt and to learn more about her. I probably had the biggest smile on my face.

I looked over at my sister. She was leaning against Jasper's chest beaming looking at me. She understood how I was feeling, I guess you could call it sibling instincts and Alice always has a way of knowing things. She nodded her head at me and I nodded back. I looked over at Em; Rose was snuggling into his side with his arm around her. He was looking at me grinning and I knew I would never hear the end of it.

We finished watching the movie. I'm glad Bella missed seeing me naked. That would have been very embarrassing. Everyone left to go upstairs to their room. I looked down at Bella, she was sleeping so peacefully. I put my forearm under her knees and my other behind her back and picked her up bridal style in my arms. She snuggled back up into my chest and one of her hands rested on my heart, the other still had a vice grip on my shirt.

I walked up the four flights of stairs to her room and laid her down on her bed. I had to pry her hand off of my shirt. I moved down to her feet and took off her flip flops. I pulled the covers up to her chest and kissed her forehead. She sighed. I turned the lights out and went to my room.

I changed in into my own pj's and got into the bed. This was going to be the best summer ever.
