-7-

I woke up to Emmett and Jaspers light snoring. I smiled as I stretched a little but got stopped by Edwards body behind mine. The hand that was on my waist started to move between my legs and I gasped as he started rubbing me.

"What are you doing?" I whisper moaned as Edward pulled me tightly against his front. I could feel him getting hard behind me.

"I'm proving that you can't hold out on me." he whispered. His tempo increased as he slipped his hand in my underwear.

"Cut it out." I moaned with my eyes closed.

"Not until you tell me that you can't hold out on me." he said as he slipped a finger inside me. I bit my lip so my moans would stay in as I moved my hand down the arm that was between my legs. As I was about to move his hand away he inserted another finger and curled it inside me. I arched into him and held his arm tightly. He started kissing my neck.

"Tell me Isabella." I shook my head as his lips tuned into a smile on my neck.

"You are so stubborn." he said amused as he rubbed my clit and continued to curl his fingers inside me. I felt butterflies in my lower belly and knew I was going to cum soon.

"Admit it or I'll keep going, even after you cum." I bit my lip as my walls started to tighten around his fingers and I came at the same time I told him that I wouldn't hold out on him. He kissed my shoulder, moved his hand, and leaned over me so he could wipe his hand on his towel and then use it to wipe between my legs. After he was finished, he got comfortable. I turned in his arms and put my leg over his hip.

"That was so not fair." I said as he kissed my nose.

"Of course it was. I just proved my point and you enjoyed it." he raised my chin and kissed me. My hand started playing with his hair and his arm brought me closer to him as our kiss deepened. He turned us over so he could lay on top of me and be between my legs. I knew he could feel my heat and the strangled moan as well as the hard on he had proved as much. I wrapped my legs around his waist and arched into him as he started sucking under my chin. Edward stopped suddenly and I groaned.

"Are you really ready for us to go this far Isabella?" He asked me. I couldn't see him clearly in the dark but I knew he was waiting for my answer. I touched his face with my hand. He really cared about me. If I doubted his intentions before that night at Trinity it went away as soon as he asked me if I was ready. I smiled.

"As I'll ever be." I said. Edward kissed me again but stopped.

"Not tonight Bells but soon." I nodded as he moved beside me. He put his arm around me as I put my head on his shoulder and put my arm across his chest. He turned so he was laying on his side and once again I fell asleep, with Edwards hand tracing patterns on my back. I thought I heard him tell me he loved me but I wasn't sure.

Morning came as I realized that Edward and I had moved from our original positions. He was now behind me with both of his arms wrapped around me and my head still on his shoulder. He was asleep, his arms being loose around me proved as much. I sat up slowly so I wouldn't wake him while Alice smiled at me. Jasper was still asleep with his hand out where she must have been laying.

"Morning Al." she grinned.

"Morning Bells." I looked at her suspiciously.

"Why are you grinning?" she walked over to me and sat down beside Edwards bed. She had my camera in her hand. She pressed play on a video she must have recorded and I smiled as I saw Edward and I asleep. It was only a five minute recording but it was weird. As soon as I moved, Edward moved accordingly and drew me closer to him as I held onto his arm.

"Isn't it weird Bells?" Alice said. I nodded.

"Yea, it is weird. We move together when we're asleep." she bit her lip and nodded like I promised her candy. I smiled and shook my head. Time to pop her bubble.

"You know you are far too excited right. Maybe he does that with everyone?" Alice rolled her eyes and got up as I laughed quietly. She went back to lay beside Jasper while I turned to look at Edward. I smiled. He was gorgeous when he was asleep, almost like he had an angelic quality about him. I smirked. Yea right maybe a demon quality. I moved my hair behind my ears and bent myself so I could kiss him. I kissed him a couple of times until he woke up, pulled me to him and kissed me back. The passion in that kiss felt like we needed each other to breathe. I broke our kiss, kissed him again quickly and then got up.

"Where are you going?" Edward asked as I stretched. He took in my movements and I smiled.

"To my room." he nodded, laid back down and covered his eyes with his arm. I put on my jeans and my shoes.

"Bella?" I turned to look at Edward as I was about to take off his shirt.

"Yea?"

"Leave it on, Jaspers awake and he only gets one look." I turned to see Jasper stretch and kiss Alice.

"You do know that Jasper is in love with your sister right?"

"Don't care." I grinned.

"So what are you going to do during spring break when he sees me in a bikini?"

"Haven't decided yet." I rolled my eyes

"You do realize he has already seen me in a bikini right?"

"You weren't my girlfriend then and I still didn't like any of their eyes on you." I sighed, kissed him again and left the room. I waited for Alice outside since I knew she would be coming with me. Two minutes later Alice was opening the door. She yelped when she saw me and held her heart.

"Can you warn me next time?" she said as she put her hands on her hips. I rolled my eyes and grabbed her hand so we could get to our dorm before tomorrow.

"Why are we here so early anyway?" Alice asked as we entered our room.

"Rose is going to talk to Sydney this morning and she asked me to be there."

"Really? That's going to be a blow for Sydney?" I nodded, grabbed the stuff for my shower and walked out of the room. After my shower was finished, I blow dried my hair and put on sweat pants and a t-shirt. I walked back to my room and dropped my stuff off. Alice was doing her history paper which she waited until the last minute to do. Hey if it works for you, it works.

"I'll be back Al's" she nodded and continued typing. I shook my head and walked to Rosalie's room. I knocked and waited. It took her awhile to get there and my smile dropped when I saw her. She looked like hell. She grinned at me.

"Your eyes already tell me how I look Bella." I walked in behind her as she grabbed her brush and started brushing out the tangles in her hair.

"Royce came over last night a little after you left." I sat on her bed.

"So you've changed your mind?" I already knew they had sex, again. I didn't really need to ask an obvious question.

"Hell no I haven't changed my mind. The dick head will never see it coming. I'm going to side swipe him." I grinned and shook my head as Rose put on some yoga pants and a tank top. She grabbed an envelope and then walked to the door.

"Let's go." she said as I nodded and followed her out. Sydney's room was three doors down literally. Rosalie knocked and we waited for someone to answer the door. It was Kate. I rolled my eyes, just what I need right now one of Edwards sex buddies.

"Hey Kate is Syd here?" Rosalie asked. Kate smiled, nodded and then looked at me.

"Damn Bella, what happened to your neck?" I smiled

"My dick head of a boyfriend marked me." Kate shook her head with a smile and then turned to look in her room. She has no idea who my boyfriend is, it's obvious.

"Syd it's Rose and Bella." Sydney, tall strawberry blonde with grey eyes slender in body but average looking, came to the door. She smiled and inside I cringed. Poor girl is not going to see this coming. She walked out of the room and I caught site of a ring on her finger.

"Syd are you engaged?" I asked. She smiled brighter.

"Yea Royce proposed like a week ago." I saw Rose smile as I shook my head.

"Syd let's go to my room, we have a lot to talk about." Rosalie said. I followed behind them and closed the door behind us as we entered Rose's room. I leaned against her desk, while her and Sydney sat on her bed. Rosalie didn't hop around the topic she went in full throttle.

Rosalie told her everything about Royce, even things that she shouldn't know unless they were intimate and I saw the light leave Sydney's eyes. To make matters worse Rose had pictures of them together that I assumed she took and all Sydney did was nod in acknowledgement. I looked at Sydney who had tears in her eyes as Rosalie brought it home by telling her everything that happened yesterday and what they did when he came back that night. I liked Rosalie but right now, I had to admit, what she was doing was low. Sydney got up and took off her engagement ring.

"Rose, if you don't mind, after today, please don't talk to me. I honestly can't take all of this and with that being said I can't take seeing you or Royce." Rose shrugged and crossed her legs.

"Fine. If that's what you need to do to cope go for it." Sydney looked at Rosalie and saw that she was truly nonchalant about everything. I shook my head because Rosalie really didn't care, she didn't regret what happened between her and Royce with the exception of last night when Emmett saw.

"You really are a bitch Rosalie." Sydney said stunned. Rosalie looked at her and narrowed her eyes.

"I'm aware and I'm even worse when people state the fucking obvious." Sydney shook her head and then walked to the door. She stopped to look at me.

"Is what she said true Bells?"

"You saw the pictures Syd and regarding last night he told me what he did in passing." I said as I looked at her sympathetically. I knew how she was feeling but at least she didn't witness what occurred. She smiled sadly, nodded and walked out of the room. I sighed and sat beside Rose as she laid back.

"I really hurt that girl Bella."

"Yea you did. You could have handled it differently but she did need to know." Rose shrugged and got up.

"Yea I know but it's worth it especially the look on Royce's face when she throws the ring at him. She looks like the throwing type. Please stay around the dorm though, just in case he tries something with me." I nodded as I kissed the top of her head and walked out of the room. I could hear the worry in Rosalie's voice about dealing with Royce but she really didn't care that much about hurting Sydney. I guess in her mind it wasn't her problem.

I walked back to our room and laid on my bed. I just stared at the ceiling for awhile as I thought about the hurt, present, in Sydney's eyes.

"How did it go Bells?" Alice asked me as she laid down beside me.

"Rose hurt her really bad Al's and it's obvious she didn't care. She didn't or rather she doesn't regret what happened with Royce, the exception being Emmett finding out and having to deal with the other guy. Can you believe Royce proposed to Sydney last week." I looked at Alice as her eyes widened.

"Wow! I think that might make it worse Bella. Sydney really loves Royce and to be told about last night…" I cut Alice off.

"Rosalie didn't just tell her about last night Al. She told her about EVERYTHING and even had pictures from previous times." Alice's eyes narrowed.

"That's low, even for her." I closed my eyes and put my arm over my eyes.

"I have to admit that it is. I'll have her back but that was pretty bad in every aspect of the word."

"It's Rosalie Bells did you expect better?" I moved my arm from my eyes and looked at the ceiling again. Did I expect her to be better?

"Yes Al. I think I did expect her to be better considering she is no longer friends with Tanya and McKenna." Alice sighed.

"Bella…Rosalie was always like this, Tanya and McKenna are exactly like her hence why they got along so well. Don't think for a minute that Tanya rubbed off on Rosalie because she didn't, they are the same hence why they were best friends in the first place. There are differences though like Rosalie being more honest and if she considers you an equal always having your back but past that they are twins." I nodded and looked at Alice.

"Then why aren't you friends then?" Alice sighed, sat up and brought her knees to her chest.

"Because she feels that I'm weak therefore not her equal or worth the effort. Plus she will never forgive me for telling Emmett that she was cheating on him." I rolled my eyes and sat up.

"Al's we are best friends and always will be. I know a weak person when I see one and you are not it. You have my back without me having to ask and you've been like that since the first week of our senior year. And frankly as much as I like Rosalie, who gives a fuck what she thinks when it comes to you." Alice smiled brilliantly and nudged me with her shoulder.

"Thanks Bells. I appreciate that." I winked at her as she continued to smile and moved back to her bed. I laid back again until my cell phone rang. I sighed and then smiled as I picked up Jakes call. We talked for awhile until I heard a knock at the door. Alice got up to answer it while I continued my conversation with Jake. I saw Edward and Jasper walk through the door as I smiled at them while my conversation with Jake was finishing up.

"Well alright Bells. Call me when the detective calls." Jake said.

"Got it and I have to remember to call your mom today she has something to tell me." Jake became quiet.

"Jake is it that bad?"

"Let's just say Jasmine knew who you were the first time you called. My mom will tell you the rest…" I was quiet for awhile. She knew who I was? Then why did she… and then it clicked.

"Alright call me later."

"I will….love you Bells."

"Love you too Jake." I slapped my forehead after I said it and closed my phone as I laid back. I put my arm over my eyes and listened to Alice type. Her fingers didn't falter on the keys when I told Jake I loved him in front of Edward which meant she didn't think there was a problem. I moved my arm and sat up as his eyes burned into mine. I rolled them and sat criss cross on my bed while Jasper smirked, sat beside Alice and turned on our TV.

"You love him Swan?"

"Did you expect me to stop loving him Cullen?"

"Yea, I guess I did."

"How is that even realistic? He's my best friend for Christ sake!"

"A best friend that you used to date and have sex with. It goes a little past friendship don't you think." Edward said angrily. I looked at him and sighed.

"Edward you're the one that has me. Doesn't that mean anything to you?"

"It means more then you think it does but that doesn't mean I want my girlfriend telling her ex boyfriend that she fucking loves him. With you telling him that whose to say, the next time you see him, you two won't have sex or do a hell of a lot more then kissing." My jaw dropped at what Edward said and then he stormed out. I closed my eyes and squeezed my phone. His jealousy needed to be reigned in A LOT! I thought Jake was bad but Edward is 10x worse!

"Has he always been like this?" I asked no one in particular.

"Edward…never, not even when we lived in Illinois. He's only like this with you and even when he dated Tanya, while you dated Jake, it used to eat at him hence why he would fuck his aggravation out with Tanya. She complained about how sore she was constantly to Rose and loud enough so I would over hear. Said something about his love for her made him lust after her body even though I knew the real reason." Alice said as we both rolled our eyes at Tanya's explanation.

"However he was only like that with her three times. The first time being when he found out Jacob was the person you liked, lets just say Emmett and I had to reign him in when you started kissing Jake while you two were dancing. As well as it pissed him off when you didn't respond to his kiss in the pool. The only reason he knew your true feelings was because he felt how hot you were and your eyes gave you away. The second was New Years night, after they dropped you off in La Push and the third was the night before we graduated, even though I'm not sure about the reason that time." Jasper said. I sighed because I knew the exact reason he slept with Tanya.

"How do you know about all those times?"

"Because he tells me almost as much as he tells Emmett as well as my sisters room is right beside mine and I'm pretty nosy." I nodded and shook my head. What have I gotten myself into with Edward?

Jasper left after about an hour which left Alice and I to finally do our girls night in. After we watched He's Just Not That Into You and ate some pizza we heard a commotion coming from down the hall. I looked at Alice and got up. She followed me as we both stuck our heads out of our doors and saw Royce talking with Sydney. I shook my head as she threw the ring at him and told him to never talk to her again after this point. Rose was right she was a thrower. Sydney slammed the door in his face and then it was like Royce had an epiphany. I could see the anger on his face as he walked to Rose's room and then banged on her door. I saw that Rose answered and I also saw that he raised his hand and made contact. I was out of the room before Alice could stop me.

"Call Jasper!" I told her as I assumed she did. I ran to Rose's room and opened the door as Royce held her up by her shirt.

"YOU BITCH! YOU RUINED THE BEST THING IN MY LIFE!" Rose's cheek was red as she held onto his hand. He slammed her into her wall and the force of his hold on her shirt was choking her. Her eyes were starting to roll back even though she continued to smile.

"You deserve this and we all know Sydney was far to good for you …not …that… I… give…a…fuck." she said as his hold tightened. I pushed him so he could release her which in turn made him drop her and then look at me.

"You put her up to this didn't you. You never liked me and this bitch would have never gone that far without you egging her on." I continued to back out of the room as he followed me out. He really did give me a lot of credit. I had no control over Rose or her actions and frankly if I could I would have never agreed to her telling Sydney the way she did. I saw Alice from the corner of my eye walking towards us slowly with her fists clenched.

"You messed up the moment you let Emmett see you two together. I had nothing to do with this." My words got cut off as his fingers gripped my neck. I was really getting tired of this shit, why was it always me. I didn't have time to retaliate before Edward pulled him away from me.

"I told you to stay the fuck away from my girlfriend. What didn't you understand about that King?" Edward asked as he leaned over him. Kate, Sydney, Samantha, Kathleen, and Rose came out into the hall.

"That bitch put Rose up to this!" Royce said. Emmett started to laugh as I rubbed my neck.

"That's doubtful, Rose is just paying you back in kind. I guess you don't know shit about her because if you did you would have known to never have me see you two together. Honestly man she probably has more up her sleeve then whatever she did now." Emmett said as he smirked at Rose who winked back.

"Wait! That's the reason you told me?" Sydney asked. Rosalie rolled her eyes.

"You thought I actually cared about you and Royce…if I did I would have never slept with him in the first place however I am sorry that I told you the way I did." Rose said as Sydney walked over to her and slapped her. She was planning to slap her again when Rose grabbed her hand and glared at her.

"Once was enough. Twice, you're fucking pushing it." Sydney started to cry and she ran to her room. Edward whispered something in Royce's ear which made his eyes widen and then Edward walked over to me.

"Being man handled is starting to piss me off." I told him as he smiled and pulled me up. He wrapped his arms around me and kissed the hickey he gave me.

"I will never man handle you…unless…you want me to." he whispered as I grinned and held onto his arms. He kissed me before he turned so he could stand behind me and keep his arms wrapped around my waist. Samantha and Kathleen walked away while Kate stayed. I could see she was angry.

"You wanted her. All this time it was her that you wanted." Kate said in disgust.

"I love her, always have loved her even before she knew it. I was just bidding my time with the rest of you until she would give me a chance." Edward said as he kissed my neck. I shook my head as her eyes narrowed. Damn! That was pretty cold.

"When you get bored with her, which I know you will, you know where I am." she said as she winked at him and walked away. I turned in his arms.

"You cheat on me with her, Sam or Tanya you will regret it." he grinned and kissed me.

"Never." he said. Jasper helped his sister up and left her and Emmett alone while Edward, Jasper, Alice and I walked back to our room.
