Kissing Jake on the beach, was an awful idea. Pictures of us, making-out, were everywhere. Friends, and people that knew we weren't a couple, kept asking what the hell was that. We told we were just… seeing. Testing. And I still blame on sexual frustration. Alice was unbearable with so many questions. Dad was hopeful, and apparently Billy too. Why parents become matchmakers when they got nothing to do? I did the TV show. It was awesome. I loved the white coat, with my character's name on it. The cast was sweet and welcoming, and making out, even if tongueless, with the sexy doctor, was… Amazing. My friend teased me about it, especially Alice. A few people called, asking me to work with them, as actress, but Emm refused. Apparently were bad proposes.

The band was going well, doing shows frequently, photoshoots, new album, campaigns, interviews… Embry and Quil missed Ang and Claire though, and they were eager for them to come to LA, and live with them. I was fine with it. I knew we would have to live separated sometime, and Emm guaranteed my bank account could handle it. I never saw Edward anymore. Almost two months since the beach. And I was… kind of missing him. Stupid, because we aren't even friends. I was sitting in my room, playing with the guitar he gave me. Just random chords, I was getting close to a song. Alice burst in my room. She was jumping up and down, and squealing.

"Alice, what?" I asked amused with the scene.

"We have plans for Thanksgiving!" she squealed.

"Oh, really?" I asked a little bemused.

I bet it was some show, somewhere she liked. I has hope to stay home, Renée, Phil, Charlie and Billy would come, Angela and Claire too, and we would have a dinner…

"My parents want to meet you!" she squealed.

"Hm? What?" I asked not understanding.

"My parents, Esme and Carlisle, would like to meet you. And they are coming, we'll have a dinner at Edward's!"

"Why would they like to meet me?"

"Because you're famous. You're my boss, best friend, and sis. Because you had an 'affair' with Edward" she made air quotes, "And because we want you around!"

"I'm sorry, Ali" I said frowning, "I was going to invite Renée, Phil and Charlie, and Billy, Ang and Claire are coming. So we'll have dinner here"

"Oh, I invited them as well. My mom wouldn't let you cancel your plans and guests"

"What?" I asked shocked. "We all are going to your brother's house, on Thanksgiving?"

"It could be here" she said musing, "But there's a pool there, and the house is bigger…"

"But… But" I didn't know what to say.

"Don't worry, I have your outfit, and everything will be perfect"

She walked out of the room, humming a happy melody. I didn't have the chance to argue. And now I would spend Thanksgiving with the Cullens, Hales and everyone else. This should be… fun.

*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*

Thanksgiving

I quickly closed last container, and ran upstairs. The thanksgiving party at Edward's house would start in a little more than an hour. I've been cooking a few things all day, and my parents were already there. Alice dragged them. Good, I didn't have time to be a good host. I ran into the bathroom, and took a shower, shaved, and taking good care of my hair. I got out, dried, and started drying my hair. I let it loose, falling with its usual curls. I put some eyeliner, mascara and lipgloss. Simple. And I wouldn't risk much more. I got out of my bathroom, and found what Alice choose for me to wear in my bed. It was good. A simple jeans, a sleeveless cream blouse, black oxford booties, and a black cardigan. It was a homey look, but elegant as well. I went downstairs, grabbed the food containers, and put on my biggest backpack. I grabbed my keys, locked the doors, and put my Bluetooth headphone. I called Alice before getting out. Thankfully the paparazzi weren't here today, so we didn't have to worry too much about going to a party in Edward's house. Alice answered as I was waiting for a traffic sign.

"Hey, Bella!" she greeted.

"I just got out of the house. I'll be there in twenty minutes"

"Okay, do you know the back gate?"

"No" I asked frowning.

"Hm, okay, forget it. It would be more discreet, but, you won't find it. They will let you in, we're waiting"

"Okay, thanks" I said and hung up.

I drove top speed, and got earlier. Ten minutes. A record, ladies and gentleman. They let me in, and I parked behind Emm's car. I climbed off, and took off my helmet, using my cell screen to see if I didn't mess my hair. Why I was so nervous? I walked to the door and rang the doorbell. I bit my lip waiting for Alice to answer, but someone much taller, and more handsome opened it. Edward. He smiled at me, and I couldn't help but smile back.

"Hi" he said.

"Hi" I said grinning like an idiot.

"Come in!" he said stepping aside.

"Thanks" I said entering.

"Let me take this" he said getting the backpack out of my shoulders, "It's heavy"

"Hm, my contribution. I can take it" I said trying to get it.

"No, I'll carry for you" he said.

"Thanks" I said blushing at his gentleman ways, "Hm, your… parents?"

"Oh, the kitchen"

I followed him to the kitchen, waving to my friends, and a couple of his.

"Hey, mom. Bella is here" Edward announced.

A woman in her thirties turned, her caramel hair, in a bun, and the kind brown eyes eyeing me. She smiled brightly and cleaned her hand in a towel.

"Hi. I'm Esme, Edward's mom" she said walking to me.

"Bella" I said shaking her hand.

"It's so nice to meet you" she said.

"You too" I said. "Hm, I brought something"

I said reaching for the bag in Edward's hand. He gave me, and I walked to the counter. I opened the bag, and took the containers.

"I hope you don't mind. I wanted to help with something" I said.

"Oh, it's great" she said.

"Hm, there is cookies, and turkey lasagna, it's something I always do. And vegetables…" I said opening the containers.

Edward approached behind me, and I froze when I felt his breath in my neck. He reached over my shoulder, and stole a cookie. Esme scowled at him, and I turned to see him taking a bite.

"Hmmm" he moaned, "Mom, she beat you. Her cookies are better"

"You are very nice for lying to me, Edward" I said blushing.

"Oh, he must be right. I can't get deserts right, something always gets wrong" she said.

"See. I didn't lie. Your cookies are fabulous" he said smiling at me.

I giggled, and covered my mouth.

"What?" he asked.

"Hm, you have… cookies in your chin" I said.

He tried to lick it, and I just stared at his tongue, imagining… I blushed and looked away.

"Did I get it?" he asked.

"Hm" I said looking at him, "No. Excuse me"

I reached and brushed the cookies off with my fingers. His skin was so soft, he shaved recently.

"Thank you" he said grinning at me.

"You're welcome" I said stuffing my hands in my back pockets. "Do you need any help, Mrs. Cullen?"

"Call me Esme, dear" she said chopping a carrot, "And no, thank you. I'm good. I'll probably need later"

"Okay"

Edward nodded for me to follow him, and we went to the living room. There was a game going on, and the men were watching, cheering, arguing, and drinking beer. Being men. The women were in the dining room, talking something.

"Do you want something?" Edward asked.

"No, thank you. I'll just… walk around. Thanks" I said.

"Do you want company?"

"You can stay with them, it's okay" I said nodding to the men.

"No. I can't deal with them, not watching football" he said smiling, "And I prefer keeping you company"

I blushed furiously, and nodded. He looked amused, probably by my blush. He took my hand, and it felt like an electric shock was all over my body. Goosebumps appeared all over my arm. I blushed harder, and he led me to the pool area, where we sat in a bench, and he turned slightly to me.

"You look beautiful, by the way. I didn't say before" he said.

"Thank you" I said smiling like a goof, "You look good too"

"So, you're an actress too now" he said smiling.

"I wouldn't say that"

"I watched the show"

"Really?" I asked amused, "And what you thought?"

"I didn't catch much, because I usually don't watch this kind of show, but… You were amazing. You're a natural" he said sincerely.

"Thank you. You don't watch the show usually…" he shook his head so I continued, "Then why did you?"

"Because you were on it" he said simply.

I blushed, and bit my lip.

"Anyway, I don't think you can say I'm a actress. It was just an appearance"

"Emmett said you've been getting proposals to movies" he said.

"Yeah, but he also said they weren't good"

"Yet"

I chuckled and nodded.

"Did you enjoy the guitar? I didn't ask that day in the beach…"

"Oh, I loved it. Thanks, it was very nice of you. You shouldn't…"

"I wanted to" he said and cleared his throat, "Bella, do you want to go to the premiere of my movie?"

"Oh, that would be nice" I said excitedly.

"I have to go with Rose, red carpet and interviews, but… Would you be my date for the rest of the night?" he asked with hopeful eyes.

As if I would deny. I blushed, and ran my fingers though my hair. Was this a good idea?

"Edward…"

"It's fine, you don't want to, I get it" he said looking hurt.

"No! I do! I would love to!" I said and he smiled, "But, would this be a good idea? Do we want another Edward-Bella affair in the press?"

"I don't care. I just want you, as my date" he said seductively.

"I'll go with you" I said smiling, dazzled by him.

"And… Jacob?" he asked frowning.

"Oh, we're friends" he looked confused, and I knew what he was thinking, "I know. The beach. It was a mistake, and we're just friends"

"Oh, okay" he said relieved, he raised my hand to his lips and kissed softly, "I can't wait to have you as date, Bella"

I grinned like a goof again, and blushed. I was Edward Cullen's date!

*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*

Everyone was excited for my presence in the premiere, with Edward. Alice couldn't stop squealing for, like, an hour. The girl has nice lungs. Jazz and Emm were worried, but apparently Edward, and I quote, 'Don't give a shit for what the press says'. I could convince Alice to at least let me choose the jewelry. I got one that showed my rocker side, but was pretty, and simple. We schedule salon, one of the most important ones, where celebrities went all the time to get ready to preimieres. Needless to say, someone gave the information to the press. Isabella Swan was getting ready, in the day of Edward Cullen's premiere, and asked for discretion. Yeah, so now the Edward-Bella affair is back. I don't care, I'm so happy. And nervous.

Alice organized everything. Me and her would get ready at the saloon, and we would go to the premiere in a car, with Emm. I was getting my nail done, Alice with a mud mask or whatever, I was trying to hold my laughter of her face, when a lady said we had a visitor, and it was urgent. We let in, few people would get in, paparazzi definitely weren't. I gasped when Jasper entered, shifting awkwardly in his spot. What the hell was he doing here? Alice turned to see our visitor and literally fell from her chair.

"Ah" she screamed. "Jasper!"

"Hi, Alice" he said blushing.

"Oh my God" she whined, trying to hide her face with her hands.

I burst laughing, because it was too damn funny. I knew my friend was embarrassed, humiliated, but I thought it was funny. I almost could see the red from her cheeks, through the mud. She turned around, covering her eyes, as if she could erase this embarrassing moment.

"Hm, what brings you here, Jasper? Something wrong?" I asked chuckling.

"I… I wanted to talk to Alice" he said.

She let out a whimper and I decided to translate.

"I think you'll have to talk with her back turned to you. She won't look at you" I said.

"Hm, okay" he sighed and took a deep breath, "Alice, I would like to know if you would like to be my date tonight?"

I giggled, and Alice turned, shock all over her expression.

"What?" she asked, the mud in her face forgotten.

"Would you be my date, tonight?" he asked blushing slightly.

She nodded, staring at him, still in shock. He smiled, and nodded, shifting in his spot.

"You need anything else? We need to get your date ready" I said.

He nodded, then shook his head, and left. The rest of the day passed by tranquilly. Except Alice that was squealing every five minutes, and nervous. I put my dress, she bought me. It was a short green dress, Nina Ricci, I don't want to know how much it cost. I had Bordeaux and nude shoe, with glitter on the hell, and a Bordeaux clutch. It was a good combination with the green. Alice like the jewelry I bought. A skull necklace, bangle and ring. A gold set. Make-up was simple, eyeliner, mascara, light pink shadow, with a little of light green too, and lip gloss. My hair was in a ponytail, falling to the side, and kind of puffy on top. Alice was in a pink dress, and silver shoes, and jewelry, and white clutch. We were ready the moment Emm arrived, surprisingly, Jazz was with him. They weren't really friends, just good buddies, except in business. We all got into the car, that had tinted windows, thankfully. The paparazzi were in the saloon doors, and we had a little problem passing them.

When we reached the premiere, there was so much noise. People talking, screaming, music… There was flashes everywhere. Emmett got out, and Jazz on the other side. They helped us get out, and I barely touched the ground before people starting yelling at me. I smiled politely, and waved, and Emm led me forward. We met Carlisle and Esme, and Alice greeted them, and I had to be cool like I never met them, because for the press Thanksgiving never happened.

"Bella, you're beautiful" Carlisle said shaking my hand.

"Thank you, Carlisle" I said smiling, "You too. And Esme, you're amazing"

She was wearing a brown dress, that went to her knees. Perfect for her. After that we walked down the carpet, and photos were taken, and I spoke a little with the press. Not much. The answer for why I was here was automatic. Alice brought me. A few fans wanted autographs, and I didn't mind. It was weird though, that I was signing posters, and magazines with Edward and Rosalie's photo. A few had my CD's to sign, but most were the movie's fans. I took a few pictures with a few girls. I was talking to a girl, while signing her magazine and CD, she was preparing her camera for a photo. The small talk, 'hi' 'nice to meet you' 'thanks'. And suddenly the girl in front of me starting screaming, like crazy. I took a step back, my ear starting to hurt. Why were they screaming like this suddenly? I turned to my left, and Edward had arrived. I couldn't help but chuckle. Why else would they be screaming? I thought amused. I continued signing, and when I left to go to the other side of the carpet, I met Rose. She was amazing, in a red dress, that polled around her feet, and was open until her thigh, with V neck.

"Hey, Bella" she said smiling.

I gave her a quick hug, and the flashes went crazy.

"Congratulations Rose. And… You're stunning" I said.

"You too" she said smiling, "Didn't forget the rocker touch" she said eyeing my necklace.

"Never" I said.

We took a couple pictures and I signed a few autographs, leaving Rose to deal with the crazy girls and guys. I was called by a reporter, and I glanced at Emm, he nodded. I walked to her, and smiled.

"Hi" I said.

"Hi, Bella! How are you?" she asked.

"I'm good, thank you. You?"

"Amazing. So, what brings you here?" she asked.

"My friend Alice, she had tickets and thought it was good for me to come. And of course, see friends' work…"

"Friends? Edward?" she asked. Oh, she was direct.

"Yeah, and Rose. They are good friends, we met in the Halloween party"

"Oh, Edward!" she called.

I turned and Edward that was passing us, turned and walked to us, stopping beside me.

"Hey" he said smiling at me.

"Hi" I and the reporter said.

"Bella was saying you're good friends? Should Rose worry about that?" she asked.

I blushed and shifted on my spot.

"Rose doesn't have anything to worry. And yes, Bella is a great friend, and I'm glad she could come" he said.

Smart. He said Rose didn't have to worry, she doesn't he isn't her boyfriend. It's a cryptic message.

"You've been promoting these last months and had time for friends?" she asked.

"We always find time for friends" he said politely.

"Any chance of you working together? Bella, you're starting acting…"

"I would be glad to, but I'm just starting…" I said shrugging.

"Edward?" she asked.

"I would be happy to work with her, she's great" he said.

Jazz came and we said goodbye to her.

"She was so subtle in her questions" I said sarcastically.

He chuckled, and glanced at me.

"See you inside" he said.

I nodded and we parted ways. I walked to Emm, and he was typing something in his blackberry. I stood if front of him, but he was totally oblivious to my presence. I frowned, and tried to see what he was doing. He was texting.

You look sexy. Can't wait to talk to you at the after party. Em.

I tried to see the contact, but it was just as RLH. He finally realized I was there and put the phone in his pocket quickly.

"Bella! Hi" he said rubbing the back of his neck.

"Who was that text to?" I asked smiling.

"No one" he said. I grinned and looked away.

"You know… If you're going to talk to her at the after party, she's here… Let me guess…"

I looked through the women there, and stared in shock, as Rose opened her bag, smiled, and quickly put her phone away. I looked at Emm, and he was nervous.

"RLH? Rosalie Hale?" I asked in a whisper.

"Shhhh" he said dragging me away, "Forget what you saw"

I hugged him briefly and winked at him. I walked in, and looked for my seat. I was walking to the seats next to Alice and the others, when someone took my hand and led me to a few rows behind. I smiled at Edward and we sat together. He leaned in towards me, and I could see his green eyes even in the dark.

"You look amazing tonight" he said.

"Thank you. So do you" I said smiling.

"I'm happy you accepted my invitation"

"Like I would refuse" I said rolling my eyes.

He chuckled and kissed the back of my hand. The movie started and I realized Rosalie sat on the other side of Edward, but kept texting on her phone. I rolled my eyes and looked at Emm. He was checking his phone every five seconds. I paid attention to the movie after that. It was a good movie. A little weird seeing Edward and Rose make-out, but great movie. People clapped and Edward, dragged me out of there, before people moved from their seats.

"Why are we sneaking out!" I asked as he dragged me to a back door.

"Because I don't want to talk to critics, and they shouldn't see us" he said smiling.

There was a black SUV parked in the back, and Edward let me in before he got in. There was a driver and he drove fast, avoiding paparazzi. I think we weren't even seen getting out of there. We arrived at where the after-party would be early, so it was easy to escape paparazzi, there was just a few. We entered the place, and it was beautifully decorated. We sat in a table, talking about the night, movie, about us. The party soon was full, and people came to greet me, and were obvious in their stares at me. I saw Emm and Rose talking a few times, but they tried to be discreet. I was having so much fun with Edward. He was a gentleman, though flirting. We were in our own little world until Emm came to pop our bubble.

"We should go, Bella" Emm said.

I nodded sadly and got up. Edward held my hand as we walked to the exit. It felt natural to hold his hand. Emm looked at us, and nodded to the door, before walking out, giving us some privacy.

"I had an amazing time with you" I said to Edward.

"I loved this night" he said.

He leaned in and kissed me. Oh! forget Jacob's kiss. This was a kiss. The kiss. How could Rose do it as work and not get dazzled? I wrapped my arms around his neck, and he deepened the kiss as his hands in my waist tightened.

"Okay, kids! Enough. You should be discreet" Jasper said interrupting us.

We pulled away and I blushed tomato red. I buried my face in Edward's shoulder as he turned to glare at his friend.

"Sorry to ruin your fun, man. But we really have to go" Jasper said.

Edward nodded and I looked up at him.

"We talk soon, right?" he asked.

"Really soon" I whispered and he gave me a peck before letting me go.

I grinned as I entered the car, beside Emmett. He chuckled as the car pulled away.

"What?" I asked happily.

"Ahn, your lips are swollen and your dress is slightly wrinkled in the waist" he said.

I looked down and realized it was true. I covered my lips with my hand, though I was still grinning.

"I'll guess Jasper really had to pull you apart, before someone caught you two making out"

I didn't answered just blushed harder.

"Silence implies consent. So, I'll take it as a yes" he said laughing.

"How is Rose?" I whispered teasingly.

He shut up and I laughed.

AN: Sorry for taking so long to update.
