i hope you enjoy this chapter.

just warning, i may have mispelled some words or have wrong grammars in this chapter considering i edited this twice and i still found a few. i ran a spelling check but you never know.

CHAPTER 2 – THE BREAKFAST PACK

We three shared a look and ran towards the sound only to stop at the sight that greeted us.

"What in the world do you two think you're doing to my kitchen?" I asked as soon as the shock of what I've seen passed through me.

I glanced at Edward and Jasper who were both trying to contain their amusement at my sudden outburst.

Rosalie and Emmett jumped off the island and proceeded to situate themselves.

I glared and they shrank back.

"Well…?"

"I'm sorry Bella. I just couldn't help myself anymore." Emmett said not repentant at all.

He had Rosalie pinned underneath him; and their lips attached to each other like leeches. Rosalie's shirt was halfway off her body while Emmett's hands pawed at her tits.

And they were doing this on my kitchen counter!

A few plates, cutleries and my favourite vase lay smashed on the ground.

"Stop bullshitting me Em. We both know you aren't sorry at all."

"Sorry." He said sheepishly as Rosalie blushed and tried to hide behind Emmett who smirked down at her.

I huffed, rolled my eyes and walked to the cleaning closet grabbing rags, cleaners, a broom and a dustpan.

Edward stepped forward to help me wipe the counter of any glass residue before handing Emmett the broom and dustpan.

"Clean it up. And Rose, I would have thought you'd have at least pulled him away from Bella's temple."

"Yeah well…" she said looking sheepish and not really knowing how to answer.

"not that we aren't happy for you two, I mean, we were so close to locking you two up in a closet, I guess I have to put that plan away." I scowled and they chuckled. "As I was saying, not that we aren't happy and all, but did you have to do it here? In my kitchen? In someone else's house? jeez! How would you feel if I went to your apartments and made out with… with… well… whoever."

"Whatever B." Emmett said at the same time as Edward turned red and spoke in a low voice.

"No one is making out in anyone's kitchen. Got that?" he told me and I rolled my eyes at him.

Yeah. Cause I didn't catch him in compromising positions.

Jasper came forward helping Rose and Em finish up with cleaning the broken glass on the floor while Edward and I mumbled to ourselves on the side.

"What's up with you two?" Jasper asked glancing at me and Edward.

We just grumbled and glared at Emmett who laughed.

"This kitchen is like their temple. No one uses it except the two of them. It's like more private than private."

"And…?"

"And with the picture they just saw on the kitchen counter they won't soon cook in here unless Emmett changes the island and everything he shattered." Rose said shaking her head and made sure no glass particle was left on the floor before sealing the bag they used.

"He? You mean us. I know for a fact you loved it." He wiggled his brows and Rosalie shook her head.

I grimaced as I heard the clang of the plates.

"I really liked the vase."

"I'll get you a new one." Edward said with a sigh. "Now what? We never really asked you three what you were doing here in the first place."

"What are you two doing for dinner?"

"I guess we are going out now that neither of us wants to cook on anything your ass touched." Edward sneered at Emmett. "And I was really looking forward to the chicken fried rice Bella was going to cook. Thanks a lot Emmett."

"No problem bro. now go get your wallets and keys and whatever else you need and let's get going."

"Sometimes, I wonder how you're related to Emmett and Alice." I told Edward as we walked up the stairs.

"Me too, baby girl. Me too."

Next day—

"Bella, baby girl, wake up. Come on! We have to get going. We still need to pick Alice up from the airport and drop her off at the hotel before we can go to breakfast."

I groaned and pulled my sheets over my head.

"5 more minutes."

"You said that half an hour ago. I'm already showered and ready to go."

"Tell her we'll meet her for lunch."

"You know she'll have our heads on a silver platter if I did that. Now come on!" he sighed. "I didn't want to have to do this but…"

He was silent for 2 seconds before I was lifted off the bed.

"EDWARD! LET ME GO! PUT ME DOWN RIGHT NOW!"

He laughed and threw me in the shower before turning it on.

"AHHHHH! THAT'S FUCKING COLD! ASSHOLE!" I screamed and scrambled to turn the water off.

"Shower. NOW, Bella. You have 15 minutes and we're leaving whether you're ready or not." He said and started to leave the room still smirking at me.

"I hate you."

"No you don't. I'll get your coffee ready."

He said and closed the bathroom door behind him.

I grumbled and took my clothes off trying to move as fast as I can while trying to shake the sleepiness off my eyes.

45 minutes later—

"BELLA!" I heard someone yell and I jumped effectively bumping my head on the window of the Volvo.

"What?" I asked looking around to see we were already outside the hotel where Alice was staying.

Huh? When did that happen?

"We're here and Alice is about to attack you so you might want to get out of the car so we can go and get her checked in." Edward whispered as he leaned over me to get my seatbelt and help me out.

"wakey, wakey, lemon bakey." Alice said.

"Shut up Alice."

"Why are you so grumpy? You should be happy! The sun's almost up.

"Precisely. Almost up. So what am I doing up before the sun even comes out of its hiding place?"

"Alice, you know Bella's not a morning person. I had to throw her into the shower just so she can get moving."

"I haven't forgiven you for that yet." I said and headed back to sit in the car.

"Oh no you don't you need to walk. Come on." Edward said pulling me and Alice's luggage towards the hotel.

"Oh, we are going to have so much fun!" Alice squealed. "I was thinking we should go shopping after breakfast. You seriously need a make-over Bella."

"Mall's don't open till 10:30. And Bella's perfect just the way she is."

"Have you seen what she's wearing?"

"Alice! If you don't want me to wear my pyjamas to breakfast then maybe next time schedule something for lunch!" I sneered at her and slumped myself against Edward as we stopped at the hotel lobby.

"Hi, I have a reservation for Alice Cullen." Alice said as she gave the receptionist her ID.

The receptionist kept looking at Edward like he was something to eat. I rolled my eyes at that. Edward shuddered and squeezed my hand.

I looked up at him and he was pouting down at me. I huffed.

"Edward, baby, where are we eating for breakfast again?" I asked running my fingers down his chest making sure the receptionist saw.

"It's a surprise, darling. We just have to help Alice up to her room and then we're leaving. Okay?"

"Okay." I said and leaned against him kissing his cheek. "But I'd rather have you for breakfast." I said in a whisper but still made sure the receptionist heard me.

He shuddered and I pulled back a bit.

"I too, baby. Me too." He whispered back. We smirked at each other when we heard the girl huff out Alice's room number and key.

Alice looked at us with amusement.

"Alright lovebirds. Go wait for me in the car, I just need to bring my stuff up to my room and then we can leave." She said.

Edward nodded and led me towards the car.

"You owe me a thousand, Edward."

"I'm modelling for you aren't I?" he said and I rolled my eyes at him. "Thank you. I wouldn't know how to fend off the mob if you weren't here."

"You know Edward, if I didn't know you, I would think you were gay."

He laughed and helped me into the car before running to his side.

"You know that's not it. I'm just waiting for the right girl. After what happened to Kate…"

"I know Edward. Besides, she's not worth it. Bitch didn't know what she was going to lose when she cheated on you with that bastard."

Kate was his almost fiancée who cheated on him a few years back. I didn't like her very much, but everyone thought they were meant for each other so I kept quiet and smiled at him. When he told me he was going to ask her to marry him, I told him how I really felt about Kate. He mistook it and told me that just because he was getting married doesn't mean he was going to stop being my best friend.

So, I told him to go and do whatever he wanted. But it didn't really happen the way he planned. He found her in her apartment riding another man. He came home very drunk that night and swore he'd wait for 'the one' before he ever dated again. Whatever the hell that meant. But he never dated but had a few quick fucks here and there but none to last more than a few hours.

Emmett thought he was turning into a girl with all the 'waiting for a spark' speech he gave us a few months ago.

"Bella! Bella… Wake up!" Edward said waiving a hand in front of my face.

"what?"

"We're here, now come on." I got out of the car and walked towards the restaurant with Edward following behind.

Alice was wrapped in a bear hug with Emmett; Rosalie was pulled in with them when she got close. Jasper stood a little bit closer to the door way and looked like he was in the same conditions as me.

"mornin'" he said waving at me as I went to stand beside him.

"Not a morning person, eh?"

"No, and I can see that you aren't either."

"If it weren't for Edward throwing me into the shower I'd still be asleep." He chuckled and nodded towards the others who were being too loud. "Can we get moving?" I asked them a little annoyed.

"Good morning to you too, Bella." Emmett said and came to give me a hug.

"It would've been Emmett, if I was still in bed and woke up on my own terms."

He laughed as Rose threw her arms around my shoulders.

"Cheer up, boss lady. Day's just startin'. Except you look worse than Jasper." She said and we turned to look at him only to see Alice attached to his lip.

"Uh! I don't need to see this Alice! Jasper! Get off my sister you fool!" Emmett said.

Edward shook his head and led me into the restaurant.

"I'm all grown up Emmett! And why didn't you tell me about you and Rosalie?"

"Shut up!" I yelled at them as they started bickering. "It's too fucking early for screaming!"

They shut up and I huffed.

"Table for 6?" asked the server looking at us a little scared and amused at the same time.

I nodded and he led us to one of the tables before handing us menus.

"Can I get you guys something to drink?"

"Can I get 10 cups coffee? Black." I said a little sharply but I didn't care; it was too fucking early to be up.

Alice rolled her eyes at me and ordered for all of us.

"Yeah, we'll all get coffee, 2 blacks and, Jasper how do you want your coffee?"

"2 creams."

"Okay and 2 creams on the rest."

"Alright. I'll come back with them and to take your orders. If you need anything else, my name's Seth, just holler and I'll be here in a sec."

"Okay, thanks Seth." I said.

"No problem." He said and walked away.

"So, what brings you to Vancouver Alice?" Rose asked the question we all wanted the answer to.

Alice never visited for no reason at all.

"Isn't missing you guys enough reason?" she asked.

"Alice, the last time you missed us, you made us pack and get a flight to New York. We stayed there for 2 long torturous weeks of not stop shopping." I replied leaning against Edward who sat beside me.

"It's New York! What else is there to do? Which reminds me, we need to go on a shopping trip this week." She said with a squeal and I winced at the sound.

"No! I need to get ready for the photo shoot! If you want to go shopping, go on your own. Or with Rose to get the wardrobe organized." I said.

"You work too much. And I need your opinion on the wardrobe anyways."

"Last time I went to work was yesterday at the gallery, I haven't been by the club in two days and I need to be there tonight to bartend with Jasper since Rose has the night off. And no, Emmett you cannot get the night off, Sam's wife went into labor last night so he is officially not my employee and I can't call in any of the others this late. Besides you promised me last night. Oh and I have two wedding shoots this week and aren't our parents coming next weekend? Shit I need to think of something to cook! Which reminds me, Emmett you better have polished my island by then or I will chop of your dick and feed it to the dogs. Dogs! Edward! You promised we could get a dog! We should go to the SPCA today—"Edward covered my mouth and I stared at him confused.

"You're talking too much." He said. "And you're going in every direction too fast for us to follow."

"Sorry! It's not my fault you woke me up too early. You know how I get in the morning! Either I don't talk at all or I talk too much or I'm too grumpy or swear like a sailor." I caught a glance of Alice and started firing questions. "So what are you doing here? Did I tell you about the shoot yet? Cause I have some ideas—"

Emmett and Rose were laughing at my antics.

"BELLA! Stop for a second. Okay?" Edward asked and called to Seth. "Seth, can we have our coffees please our friend is getting a little annoying."

Jasper put his head down in the table and Alice was playing with his hair.

"What's up with you two?"

"What's up with you and Edward?"

"What?" I asked confused by her question.

"You know, at the hotel…"

"Oh, well, teddy doesn't want to date anyone except 'the one'. I'm sure you've heard his speech already. And I, best friend extraordinaire, am the weapon used to fend of all the ugly bitches trying to suck him in between their legs. Take that fuckers." I said just as Seth placed our coffees in front of us. He looked shocked for a second. "Not you Seth. I meant all the bitches out there who are only trying to get a taste of Teddy's cock." They all chocked when I said the word.

They were all cracking up; well, except for the manager who glared at me.

"What never heard of the word cock before?" I asked her and she huffed.

"Bella, have a sip of your coffee. And settle down a bit. You don't want us getting thrown out do you?" Teddy whispered to me.

"And whose fault is it? This isn't exactly voluntary—"he covered my mouth again and shook his head, amusement colouring his eyes. "fine." I mumbled against his hand and he released me.

I took a sip of my coffee and sighed feeling a little better.

"May I take your orders now?"

"sure." We all said at the same time and I looked down at the menu for the first time.

"Edward, I won't be able to finish anything on the menu." I said.

"That's okay we'll share, the usual or did you want to try something else?"

"Whatever you want I'm not really picky with food. You know that." He nodded and looked back down on the menu.

"Did you want pancakes?"

"Nah, we had pancakes yesterday."|

"Omelette then?"

"Sure."

"Ultimate omelette, hash browns instead of grit and biscuit instead or toast. We'll take an extra biscuit with it and can you please refill her cup before its effect runs out?" Edward told Seth as he rubbed my shoulders.

"How many more cups before she shuts up?" Emmett asked and Edward shrugs.

"Depends on how annoyed she is. It'll probably take a few more cups considering I woke her up at 5:45 so we can go be at the airport at 6:45 and at the hotel at 7:30."

"It's not my fault you live so far away from everything else." Alice huffed.

"Well, you could have just rented a car or taken a cab." I said.

"This is Alice we're talking about." Edward told me patting me hand.

I pushed him lightly but chuckled none the less as the others ordered their food and Seth left to get them for us.

"Are you two sure you're just best friends? Cause I call it honeymoon stage." Jasper spoke finally speaking after my tirade.

"Yep, we've always been like this." I said and swayed in my seat while humming 'born this way' a little too loudly." They chuckled and I started singing.

"Are we doing anything today?" Emmett asked and Edward was frantically shaking his head and motioning for him to stop but he'd already asked and the coffee was gone from my system.

"Well, first," I said and they all groaned but I continued. "I'm planning on going back home and getting my camera then I'm off scouting places for the shoot. Are you coming with me teddy? I do sure hope you are. Please? Then after that I'll go home and get some sleep before my shift starts at the club."

Another cup of coffee was sat in front of me and I took a sip.

I slumped back into my seat, exhausted.

"Are you done?" Rose asked a little too amused for my liking.

"Yep, old recluse Bella is back to the table." I said and leaned back into my chair. "Oh and Edward, I meant it about the dog, we are getting one… or a cat."

"We can adopt both, baby girl."

"We'll see when we get there." I said and he nodded his agreement just as Seth came with our food.

"Thanks Seth." Was echoed around the table as he did so.

He smiled politely and told us to tell him if we needed anything else before leaving us to enjoy our food, Edward eating is half and whatever I pushed aside and didn't want.
