I could hear Bella stir, as I tried not to laugh. She was obviously feeling the effects of the party last night. I smiled at her as I ran a hand over her hair. "Good morning, little lady."

"Hey." She spoke like she had cotton in her mouth, "I hate alcohol." She sighed as she sat up. "I need the bathroom.".

I shook my head and smiled, "Feeling a little ill this morning, Bella?"

"It's not funny" As she sprinted to my bathroom.

"Would you like breakfast? You could take a shower while I make it." I laughed

"No thanks, I will just take a shower."

"Hopefully, you won't drown." I added

"Not funny" Her sarcasm was not lost on me.

Bella spent a good half hour in the bathroom, what I would guess was not even close to what she would have liked. She came out looking wonderful all the same.

"Here, your phone. It beeped just now." handing her the phone I could see concern on her face.

"Thanks." She tried to focus on the message.

"Well, looks like we're going to be seeing more of each other."

"We are?" I questioned. What is she talking about?

"Yep, Emmett and Alice got together."

"Oh, really. Well, your breakfast is ready in the kitchen." I didn't give her a chance to object. I made my way to the bathroom to do my thing while she ate.

As I made my into the kitchen, I could see she hadn't touched a thing.

"Bella, eat something. You might feel better." I ordered as I sat down beside her.

"I can't" I saw her push her plate away.

Oh no she didn't. "Eat!"

She just shook her head and crossed her arms over her chest.

"Isabella, eat one pancake, it will soak up whatever is left in your system" She is pushing her luck. But I smiled as she actually listened and ate one pancake and drank off of the juice I had poured for her.

Bella looked around, trying to decide what to do with her dishes, "Just leave them in the sink." She was pacing about..."It's fine, just put it in the sink already!"

"Edward?" Bella spoke quickly. "I'm gonna go now, I have more packing to do."

"Right. Of course. Do you need a ride?"

Looking shy, "No, it's fine." and walked over to grab her shoes.

"You're going to try the shoes again, then?" I said.

She knew she could barely walk in those things.

"Bella, I'm driving you home, no arguments please."

When we got to my car, I trailed my hand down her jaw. "I had a great time, Bella." I pulled her in closer and placed a kiss on her lips.

Bella immediately wrapped her arms around my neck, kissing me hungrily. I had to stop this before I took her over the hood of my car.

"I had a good time, too" she whispered.

Bella had a very serious frown on her face. What was she thinking so intensely about?

As I pulled up to the apartment, I leaned in and gave her a long kiss. "See you soon, Bella."

All she did was nod. Did I say or do something to upset her? I felt a lump in my throat and a heaviness in my heart.

All the way home I couldn't shake the look on Bella's face as she climbed out of my car. It was a look of deep sadness and fear. I need to find out what was wrong, I need to make it better. She was the only thing that is important to me now. I loved her.

As I walked into the foyer of my building, I met up with Rosalie. She wanted to talk as well. Something about Jasper and her. I really didn't have the energy to listen to what her issues were, but she is my sister and she needed my help.

"Rosie, go in the kitchen and grab us both a beer. I think we both have a lot on our minds."

"Sure, where's Emmett?" Rosie smiled trying to ease the stress we both are carrying.

"Closing up the bar, he should be home soon. Is everything okay Rosie?"

"Yeah, I just wanted to get your guys advice on something." She sat down and handed me my drink.

"Sure, anything." I replied

"Well, I don't know where to start, it's about me and Ja.." Just as Rosie was about to finish, Emmett crashed through the door, as usual.

"Hey, is this a family meeting? How come I wasn't invited?" Emmett pouted

"Oh relax, I met Rosie downstairs, she came over to talk something over with us" I quickly tried to calm him down. God he can be such a child. "Grab a beer and sit down so Rosie can finish what she was saying"

"Anyway, what I was saying was that it's about me and Jasper. I'm really starting to like him, but there is one thing that I'm kind of concerned about." Rose adjusted herself on the couch.

"I know that you guys are into the whole dom/sub scene, but I have never experienced it first hand before. Well, it turns out that Jasper is a practising dom."

Emmett came back into the living room and sat down beside her. "Has he hurt you?" Emmett's face was stern.

"Oh no, completely the opposite. He is very gentle and patient with me. I just wasn't sure how to bring this topic up to you guys. The three of us have to secrets. I wanted to let you know before it went any further. I wasn't sure how you two would take the fact that your little sister is now part of your inner circle." I could see on her face she was relieved to have that off her chest.

I smiled and reached over and gave her a hug. "As long as your happy and safe, I am happy with what ever you do. Just don't ever give me or Emmett details. That is the only rule we have. NO DETAILS"

We all started to laugh.

"Yeah, I don;t need to have those thoughts in my head" Emmett wraps his arm around Rose and give her a hug too.

"I just have one question, was there anything between Bella and Jasper? I mean, he is very protective and possessive with her" I ask, feeling a little protective myself.

"Oh god no, he was asked by Bella's parents to watch over her and keep her in line while they are off doing there thing. Bella has the ability to get herself into situations that she cannot get herself out of. She has been this way every since I've know her."

"Good, I wasn't exactly sure what the situation was"

"Okay, now that you two have a chance to talk, it's my turn" Emmett stood up, wanted to be the centre of attention again.

"You may have already guessed, but Alice and I are exploring a new relationship. I thought I would try something different and go with my gut. She's fun to be around, and she definitely keeps me on my toes."

"Well, there it is, we all have found someone that we enjoy being around and exploring new options." I smile as I think back to the times I have spent with my Bella.

"Rose, I have spent a lot of time over the last few days with Bella and I have deep feelings for her, but she seems to be holding something back from me? She looks to be carrying around a fear or sadness about something, do you know what it could be?"

"I know Jasper has told me that Alice and her are heading to England, but I don't know for how long."

"Really?" I felt like someone had just kicked me in the gut. "Do you know when they leave? Why has she not told me this yet" I suddenly went from feeling sick to feeling angry.

"Alright, this is getting way to serious. I need to grab and shower and go meet up with Alice." Emmett chugs back his beer and heads to his room.

"So, what do you think about getting together, all six of us, for dinner tonight. I would love to see Bella again?" Rose was back to herself again.

"Sounds good, I will give Bella a call and see what her plans are. You clear it with Jasper and I will tell Emmett not to make dinner plans for tonight" I was all of a sudden excited about showing off Bella tonight as my girlfriend. 'What a big sissy'...

Rose yells toward Emmett's room "By Em, see you tonight"

"Sure Rosie. Wait, what..."

"Never mind Emmett, I will tell you later" I laugh as I give Rosie a kiss goodbye and lock the door behind her.

About 10 minutes later my cell phone rang and it was Rose.

"Hey"

"Hey yourself. I talked to Jasper and he is cool about dinner tonight. I'll make the reservations at our usual spot?" Rose seemed very happy about tonight.

"Sounds good to me" I really wanted to spend the night alone with Bella, but this is good to.

My thoughts immediately turn to Bella and the bad feeling I got when I dropped her off. I wanted to see her tonight and talk about the look on her face when she left me. I need to call her, something just didn't seem right. I picked up my phone and immediately started typing a text to Bella.

Edward said: "Rose just called, wants to have dinner with us tonight, is that okay? E x"

Bella must me busy, it took her about 30 minutes to reply...

Bella said: "Yeah, whatever" B

Well, I guess it didn't get any better when she got home...

Edward said:. "R U okay?" E x

Bella said: "Ummm yeah" B

She is really starting to scare me now...

Edward said:. "Bella, what's going on?" E x

Bella said: "Nothing, I'm okay" B

God, she can be so stubborn sometimes...

Edward said:. "Isabella, I can tell something is up, tell me now!" E (getting mad)

Bella said: "Nothing, I SAID..." B

Ooops, that was a big mistake, she must have a very short memory...

Edward said:. "Are you raising your voice to me? Do I need to come over there and give your backside a little attention!" E (loosing my patience)

That should straighten her out...

Bella said: "Nooooo, I didn't mean it. I also don't think my ass could take it right now" B:(

Bingo...

Edward said:. "Okay, tell me what happened...?" E x

Bella said: "Can I tell you later, Alice is here and were talking" Bx

Edward said:. "Promise? Also, Rose is bringing Jasper too" E x

There was a lull in the conversation, what's wrong now?...

Bella said: "K" Bx

Edward said:. "Good, talk to you later" E x

Emmett's finally out of the shower and I yell, trying to get his attention.

"Feel like going out for dinner with the Rose and I?" I asked

"Just us three?" Emmett looks confused.

"No, you bring Alice, I'm bringing Bella and Rose is bringing Jasper, dah!" I said with a grin

"Sounds like a plan"

I picked up my phone ready to call Bella when it went off.

Bella said: "Yeah babe, got a question?" B x

She seems to be in a little better mood.....

Edward said:. "You seem in a better mood, what's the question.?" E x

Bella said: "I was thinking, could you see if Emmett wants to come to dinner too?"

Edward said:. "Why?" :)

I try to let on I didn't have the same idea...

Bella said: "Alice would like to see him again"

Edward said:. "He's right here, let me ask."

I tell Emmett to play along, that Bella thinks this is her idea...I hand him the phone.

Edward/Emmett said: "Bella, this is Em, your on...tell Alice that I can't wait"

Bella said: "Cool, I will"

Edward/Emmett said:. "Tell her not to worry about what she is wearing, she won't have it on for too long" :}

Bella said: "Ugh, Emmett I don't need to know that, give the phone back to Edward...now"

I roll my eyes as Emmett hands me back my phone...

Edward said:. "Sorry Babe, I will kick his ass when I get off the phone?"

Bella said: "Good, got to go, Alice is yelling for me...she wants to know the answer"

Edward said:. "K, see you tonight"

Bella said: "Later"

"Sooo" Emmett asked.

"She's coming too, from what I can tell, she is very excited". I wiggle my eyebrows.

"Yo man, stop that" Emmett turns a great shade of red.

I speed over to Bella's to pick her up for dinner, I can't wait to she her again. I know, it's only been a few hours, but still.

I raced up the stairs, not having the patience to wait for the elevator, Emmett right on my heels. Emmett quickly reached out and rang the door bell.

I gave him a shove. "A little anxious are we?"

We both laugh, trying to cover up our nerves.

"Be careful, I need to be in good shape for my date." Emmett plays at being hurt.

We hear the door being opened at we straighten ourselves up.

"Come on in fellas. Would you like a drink before we leave?" Alice asked

"Whoa Alice, you look good enough to eat" Emmett said with a smirk. God he just jumps right in there.

"Bro relax, you have all night to carry on like that. She just asked if you wanted a drink, man" I reply

"Eddie, just making an observation, cut me some slack" I just roll my eyes

I quickly look around and see no Bella "No Alice, I'm okay, I can wait til we get to the restaurant. Where's Bella?" I look towards her room.

"Oh, she is still in her room finishing up, I guess" Alice shrugged her shoulders

I immediately walk to her door and knock. "Bella, can I come in?"

"Sure, I'm just about ready" Her voice alone makes me hard.

I walk in to see Bella bending over doing up her shoes. I seize the opportunity and land a smack to her perfectly round ass.

"Hey, what was that for?" She turned with a smirk

"Firstly, you have such a tight little ass, and secondly, you should be ready by now. Our reservations are for 7." Quick thinking.

"Edward, I was only putting on my shoes, Geez fuckin relax." There's my sassy little girl. Let the fun begin.

"Pardon Me?" I put a frown on my face, trying not to smile.

"Just that, I was almost done and not to get all bent our of shape" She pouts a bit.

I take her arm and spin her to the side, landing two spanks to her bottom. I just couldn't resist any longer.

"Kay Sorry, I won't do it again, man!"

"Good girl"

I catch a glimpse of Emmett and Alice making out on the couch, I can't help but laugh.

"Let's go you two, we're going to be late" I look over towards Bella.

"Sure bro, Alice - I think you need to grab a coat, it's a little chilly out, dear" Emmett speaks up.

"No, I'm fine, I don't want to cover up my awesome sexy outfit." Alice gives Bella a wink.

"Alice dear, that was not a suggestion! Where is your coat" Here comes the Dom. Everyone take cover. I smile to myself.

Alice looks to Bella for help. I just take a firmer hold on her to let her know to keep out of it. Alice returns with a trench coat, and a very poutie look on her face. Poor baby.

Emmett takes her coat and helps her put it on, "That's my baby."

Typical Bella needs to speak, "See, now I'm not the one that's making us late."

"Excuse me?" I look her in the eye.

"I just meant..." She tried to explain but I cut her off there.

"Keep it to yourself young lady. Emmett is dealing with Alice right now" I take her hand, directing her out the door, I land another sharp slap to her bottom.

"Owww, Edward, I know you love my ass, but really!". What a cheeky girl.

We made a quick trip over to my favourite restaurant. I loved the food and service you get here. Both the girls remained quiet all the way there. Emmett and I just looked at each other and shook our heads.

Bella was the first to jump out of the car. It was like her ass was on fire.

"Hey Rosie, nice to see you again" She said running up to her.

"Yeah, I think we will be seeing much of more each other now that your dating my brother" Rose said with a smile

"True, for now anyway" Bella added. She gave me a wicked little grin. I'll have to remember that.

Emmett soon appears from around the building. "Shall we go in?"

"Bella, are you not feeling well" I questioned.

She didn't answer right away, just taking her bottom lip between her teeth. A dead give away that she was hiding something.

"No, Edward I'm fine. I was a little sore this morning, but I am fine now." She replied as she adjusted herself in her chair. I could tell by the look on her face she was not telling me the whole truth.

"Why didn't you say anything earlier". I was trying to see if she would tell me everything that was going on.

Bella sat straight up, "Edward, I said I was fine!, Can you drop it!".

What just happened? I frowned, a sign she knows all to well. Once she realized what she had said, her eyes got as big as saucers.

I immediately swung her chair to face me, she is light so it didn't take much effort. "Isabella, do I need to take you outside for a little chat about your behaviour" I whispered into her ear.

"Nope" She said with a smirk on her face.

"Then watch your mouth, and we will discuss this later" I so wanted to drag her ass out of there right then and there but I could see everyone's eye on us as it was, so I just turned her chair back to face the table.

Emmett spoke up and asked if we had plans for this Saturday. Before I had a chance to speak, Alice spoke up.

"Bella and I have plans to go out one last time before we leave". My hand tightened on Bella's knee. I knew nothing about such plans. Again I was cut of by Emmett.

"Where are you two going, may I ask?"

"Sure you can ask Emmett, but I don't plan on telling you." There's that smart assed tone again.

"Really" I jumped in quickly before anyone else could.

"Rosie, are you going along too?" Jasper questioned, looking a little annoyed as well.

"No, this is the first I have heard of it" she smiled at him.

"That's my girl, knowing what I like to hear" Jasper said, kissing Rose's hand.

"Alice, I don't think I like the idea of you going out bar hopping, especially without me there" Emmett weighed in.

Alice batted her lashes at Emmett, "Well we did it before you came along, and we made it out alive, so I think we will be fine Em" Alice joked, I think.

I don't think Emmett got the joke either because the next thing he said left no doubts in anyone's mind. "You must be misunderstanding me, I am not allowing you to go out alone to get drunk in who knows what kind of bar in who knows what kind of neighbourhood!" Emmett puts his arm around Alice and pulls her closer.

"Em, can we discuss this later, alone. Not in front of everyone." Alice knew the joke was over.

"You bet we will." Emmett took the last sip of his drink and slammed the glass down on the table, making our girl's jump.

I am pretty sure that both of them know that they are in for a long night.

Making our way to the car, I shot a look in Emmett's direction. He knew I was not impressed about how the dinner had progressed to where the girl's seemed to repeatedly exert their strong wills during the conversations. I knew what I needed to do, I just hoped Emmett had a similar idea.

I maintained a firm grasp around Bella as I pretty much hauled her to the car. To my surprise Emmett actually did what he had told me he would do if a "situation" arose. He had a dominate hold on Alice's upper arm, leading her as well.

As I reached the car, Emmett and Alice were having a private moment so I stopped short and waited to let them finish. I could see from Emmett's face he was non to happy.

Opening the door for Bella, I directed her to take a seat. Saying nothing she grabbed her seat belt, letting out a sigh. I gave her a look that told her to remain silent.

Once everyone was in the car, Emmett pulled out into traffic, that's when I heard Bella begin to whisper to Alice. I had just told her to keep quiet, and I am almost sure Emmett had instructed Alice to do the same. I glanced over at Emmett to see if he had heard the girls, but he was too engrossed in the traffic to pay attention.

I turned in my seat to face my mischievous girl..."Bella, mind your own business".

The look she gave me definitely left nothing to the imagination. She was concerned about her friend and no one was going to keep her from making sure she was okay. That's my stubborn girl!

Bella adjusted herself in her seat, ignoring my earlier statement, she turned to face her friend. "Alice, whats-"

"Bella! I told you to mind your own business, leave it be"

With the car now finally quiet, the ride to Alice's apartment gave all of us a chance to think about tonight and for me anyway, figure out how I was going to deal with Isabella. I have to admit, I was kind of excited. I always enjoyed seeing her naked bottom turned up, resting over my knee, waiting for the first swat. Emmett and I exchanged a few tidbits of information and ideas, but nothing that our misbehaved little girls could hear.

Once at the apartment, Emmett and I went to the kitchen to grab a beer and water for the girls.

"Hey Bro, I think this may be a common occurrence when the two of our ladies get together" Emmett laughed.

"Yeah, I was thinking the same thing." Not a second later, I heard Bella calling for Alice from the bathroom.

"What now" I ran my hand through my hair and made my way the bathroom.

"Bella? Is everything okay? Can I come in?"

"No Edward, I just need to speak to Alice, can you get her for me, please?" She didn't sound like it was anything too serious so I went and got Alice before heading into Bella's room.

As I was getting ready, I could hear faint laughter coming from the bathroom. Bella had figured out a way to talk to Alice, play the sickness card. Very very tricky Isabella, I thought to myself.

When Bella finally appeared in the doorway, she had a sheepish look on her face, she knew she was in trouble. Two can play at this game. I just smiled and patted the spot beside me, wanting her come come over and join me. Slowly, she removed all her clothing as she made her way towards me, I felt myself twitch with excitement, but I knew I had to stay strong, it was going to be a long night.

Bella snuggled in close and started to trail soft kisses down my chest while drawing tender circles on my stomach with her soft finger tips. I immediately grabbed her and and tucked it in behind her back.

In my most stern tone I spoke - "Stop"

I caught her off guard. Out came her pouty face..."What, I was just trying to make you feel good"

I rolled my eyes, "Bella, I know, but we need to discuss your behaviour tonight at dinner"

She looked up, trying to gauge my mood, "Oh, that."

"I would like to think that when we begin our DD relationship, actions like tonight will not happen. But to be sure, I think a little training should take place beforehand, and tonight seems like the best time to start. I have discussed this with Emmett on the way home and he seems to agree."

"You talked to Emmett about this/us?" Her voice rising in volume as she sat back on her heels. 'Not a good way to start this off little girl.'

I gave her "the look", "Yes, you have a problem with that? Do you not talk to Alice about us?"

"Um, well, yeah I guess I do" Bella ducked her head

"Okay then, for tonight, as punishment for your behaviour – you're getting in bed and going right to sleep." I knew that was not what she had expected. Me neither for that matter.

"Pardon" I tried not to smile, I had totally surprised her with that one.

"You heard me, no sex...period, of any kind. You will just be going to sleep."

"Edward"Bella whined. Yeah that's gotta stop.

"Don't whine either, your lucky I just don't put your over my knee right now."

I rolled over and turned off the light. With my back towards her, Bella could neither see my smile or my hard on. I should have just spanked her. Then let her pleasure me before making her go to bed. Well, that's a lesson learned.
