Chapter 4

The Steps of Love

EPOV

I decided that if the girls get to have a slumber us guys will too. But it turned out to be just me and Jasper in him and Alice's room. Emmett, just as stubborn as always wanted to be in his room with Rose do god knows what but since I told him he wasn't allowed in there and he didn't want to join our party I let him have my room. He better not mess up my music collection, because brother or not, I will kill him.

I actually missed our little sleepovers. Jasper and I used to have them quite a bit. Like if Rose was at our house sleeping over with Alice I went to a sleep over with Jasper and vice versa. The girls would tease us about our manly sleepovers. How they stayed up all night giggling and we just watched a movie and fell asleep on different sides of the room. Or at least that's what we lead them to believe. But in reality at your little sleepovers, Jasper and I gossiped like a bunch of old ladies and giggled over crushes just like the girls. But there was no way in hell we would own up to that though.

"So Edward how've you been?" Jaz asked me while we got our sleeping bags ready. That was the one thing we didn't lie about. It was one thing for the girls to sleep in the same bed but we just had too much pride for that.

"Well I was good until tonight until I realized I haven't been living the good life I thought I was." I complained, really wanting to get the story out but I would wait or Jasper to ask me what I was talking about.

"Oh?" He said questioningly.

"Well up until now I thought I had the perfect life, complete and happy. But tonight I realized what was missing and now that I know it, I want it bad, more than just the taste I got." I know it sounded stupid but it's true. I have never been in love before. Sure I have liked people before and girls are usually throwing themselves at me but I've never thought of any of them as more than a friend. But now…

"And what would that be Edward?" Jasper laughed teasing me a bit. But I was being serious and did not appreciate the laughing but I said nothing about it.

"Love, Jasper, love. I've seen you with it and Emmett but I somehow thought that it wasn't for me. But tonight I met an angel and fell in love so hard I can feel the bruises." Wow I'm such a sap, after I said that I realized how stupid it sounded but Jasper seemed to understand. He just nodded.

"I'm assuming you mean Bella?" Jasper asked. I just nodded. "That's understandable. When I first met Bella I immediately thought she would be perfect for you. When I told Alice she seemed to agree. Bella seems like the type of girl you would like, since none of do know your type since you've never dated before." He teased. "Really Edward, it's not healthy to have still never dated anyone buy the time you are 22 let alone still a virgin. Someday all those repressed sexually feelings will get to be too much for you and your head will explode." After he said that I started laughing and he seemed to get it. "You see what I mean, it's already started, and now you always have your head in the gutter."

"I have to get her to fall in love with me man. I just have too…" By then I was deep in thought in a desperate attempt to get Bella to love me, her best friend's brother that she just met.

"Okay here it is." Alice said slamming down a piece of paper in front of me smiling.

"What is it?" I asked but I realized I didn't need to. I read what she and Rosalie had written on the paper.

STEPS TO MAKE EDWARD LOVE YOU

MAKEOVER!! (with a check next to it)

Tease him so he wants more

Flirt with him innocently

Wait for Alice and Rose's surprise



Make new arrangements work to your advantage not his

The nest steps will be given to you once you get this far. Keep up the good work Bella! WE LOVE YOU!!

"Well that would help if I knew what to do." I told them after reading the paper.

"Silly Bella, we will tell you what to do and don't worry, it will work, I know it!" Alice was overly excited and I was getting a bit scared.

"So what do you mean by 'tease him so he wants more' exactly?" I had an idea but by the looks on their faces I think I was way off.

"Ah yes. That. We have a plan for that." Rose said then walked out of the room. When she came back so was holding one of my old long baggy white shirts and a pair of long white soccer type shorts that went down to my knees.

"Why do you want those?" I was confused as to how those clothes were put under the category of 'tease'.

"Well we are going to fix them of course. Rose hand me the shirt, scissors, and the black shoe laces." I didn't like where Alice was going with this. She held the shirt up to me and then cut the bottom half right off so that the shirt ended just a bit below my breasts. Then she cut the neck out, taking a bunch of the material from the shoulder and chest area so there was an opening wide enough to fit the three of us in. Next she cut up the sides of the shirt so that it was no longer a tube but just one unconnected piece of material. Then she cut huge chucks of material out of the sides so with the shirt on it wouldn't cover my sides on the very front and back of me. She poked holes in the sides and laced a shoe lace loosely on each side and tied them in bows. Then she picked up the shorts that were made of a very tine windbreaker type material with lining underneath so they weren't see threw. Alice flipped them inside out and cut the lining out completely. Then she cut the leg parts of the shorts so they were hardly ever there anymore. She shoved the clothes into my arms. "Here go put these on but leave the black thong on underneath." Rose pushed me into the bathroom and they waited for me to change.



I almost died of shock when I put them on. The shirt would not stay up. I had to hold my shoulders a certain way to keep the shirt up. It was laced so loosely that you could see the outer curve of my breasts threw the sides. Then the short, oh god! They didn't ever cover my ass all the way, the bottoms of my checks were hanging out and they rested so low on my hips that you could see my thong. And what you couldn't see of it sticking out you could see to black strings threw the see threw white material (I have a picture I drew of this in my profile). I walked out of the bathroom glaring at them. "If you think I am going to talk to Edward dressed like this you are seriously disturbed. I'm wearing next to nothing!"

"That's the point." Alice giggled. "And besides, we figured you would kill us if we sent you in there in one of those baby dolls. Rose voted for the red one." I didn't see how this was in any way funny. But they kept on laughing.

"Okay Bella, so what you do it you go to Alice's room and say you forgot your clothes in Alice's bathroom, which conveniently you did, so you go and get them. Have you clothes in a pile with your bra and panties on top showing and make sure Edward sees them. Then you say thanks and good night and walk away swinging your hips so he gets a nice view of your ass." I have to admit Rose was a genius, but…

"Okay that's nice, but one problem. That my old plain white bra that has a stain on it and my ripped up 'full butt' underwear. I don't' think that's much of a turn on." I said, not having much faith in their plan or their steps. I wanted to make every piece count.

"Ah yes" Alice said "but fortunately we are way ahead of you. We replaced your undergarments with a matching small red lacey bra and thong. The bra happens to be the right size. It's not healthy to wear bras too small missy. You are a D36 no C36, wear them with pride. They aren't going to be getting smaller anytime soon hon." Alice teased me. "Now go!" she turned me towards the door and gave me a playful slap to the ass.

I got to Alice's room and knocked on the door. I heard footsteps and then the door opened and I heard a sharp intake of breath.

I heard a quiet knock on the door and got up and opened the door. Once I saw her my jaw dropped to the floor and I gasped. Oh yes, what a summer this would be.

AN: Okay there you have chapter 4. I was going to put more in this one but I thought I would leave you hanging a bit there while I came up with some more ideas and I have to leave for now so ya. I hoped you liked it. Please review.
