A/N: I finally broke through the evil known as writers block partially thanks to the awesome Carden88 who let me vent a bit. BTW you should most definitely check out her story "Who Says Sex is Sacred?" because it owns, and also you really should check out "Finding Everland" by Warriorprincess101. It isn't a twilight fan fiction, but it is really good and I will most likely be beta-ing it for her if I can figure out how to do it. If anyone out there knows how to work that we are clueless and would appreciate some help. I will be forever grateful, PM me if you know what to do.

Oh and if you haven't check out my new story "My favorite Accident" I would love you forever if you did and let me know what you think. I'll be updating it tonight or tommorrow for anyone who cares.

And without further ado or anymore shameless self-promotion I give you chapter 8.

Chapter 8: I Kissed a Girl

As expected the second I opened the door I was jumped by two overexcited and energetic girls.

Alice pounced on me first, "Okay spill right now this instant I want to know everything no details spared."

"Way to welcome a girl home. Don't I get a few seconds to catch my breath before I get put into interrogation?"

"Oh so that is why you were taking so long in the car. It also explains the goofy grin." Rose said, always jumping to the wrong conclusions.

"No that is not why we were taking so long in the car thank you very much." I blushed which did not help my point at all. "And Alice; don't you have a home to go to or something?"

"Nope I'm spending the night. I didn't know how long you would stall, so I figured it would be the best way to get everything out of you." Of course only Alice would think ahead like that.

"Isn't this weird for you? I mean he is your brother." I asked a little uncomfortable and still stalling.

"No, not at all Rose always gets details from me, so stop stalling and spill." Alice commanded.

XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

As I finished my date both girls eyes got wide and Alice pretended to wipe a tear from her eyes, "I have taught that brother of mine so well. I'm like a proud mama."

"Damn straight I didn't think that boy had a romantic bone in his body, not to mention the whole breaking and entering bit. You awful girl you're having such a bad effect on the poor kid." Rose accused with a smile.

"Hey don't blame this on me, I didn't tell him to start breaking the laws for me. And as for the date I would have been impressed with just dinner. I'm still in a bit of shock myself." I admitted with the permanent smile plastered onto my face.

"Sure, whatever makes you sleep better at night." Rose joked.

"And so now you guys are dating, that's so cute!" Alice said with as much enthusiasm as if she were talking about a new puppy.

"Yeah" I said in a dreamy voice that even sounded off to me.

"Oh no I recognize that face. My little cousins got it bad." Rose stated.

"I do not." I blushed profusely.

"Okay that's a lie; you're a goner and well on your way to the dangerous L word. I think with a little bit of work me and Alice could make that happen."

"Why would you guys want to turn me into a lesbian? Is there something I need to know about you two?" I said shifting my eyes back and forth between the two of them pointedly.

"Not funny Bella. You know what I meant." Rose said without a trace of humor.

"Well you never know Jasper and Emmett could be covers. Not that I have a problem with it. You guys do what you want; I mean this is New Hampshire. No worries I don't judge, you get yours." I said as Emmett like as possible. (A/N: I threw in the New Hampshire bit because we legalized gay marriage, and I really don't have a problem with it, this is just Bella stalling no jabs at gay people ok? Thank you)

"Ha-ha, I see what you're trying to do and it's not working, oh god you didn't say you loved him already right?" Alice said with pure horror crossing her face.

"No of course not, but in the heat of the moment I sure thought about it." I admitted.

"Good now don't ever do that. This is not only your first date but it is way too early to admit shit like that. Yes I understand that you two aren't a particularly conventional couple because of all that has happened in such a short period of time, but nothing scares of a guy faster then taking things too fast. I'm not saying that Edward would ever leave you or dump you because I know for a fact he wouldn't. Trust me I know that you two are like kindred souls; you just get each other, but it is way too soon to drop the L-bomb it gives him too much power, so do whatever you have to do keep that pretty little word vomit of yours in check." Alice threatened.

"Yes ma'am" I saluted.

"Glad we have an understanding now on to more important matters." Alice said turning back into her usual bubbly self.

"And what would that be?" I asked skeptically, Alice this excited always turns out badly for me.

"Our triple date tomorrow," she paused checking the clock, "I mean tonight."

I glanced at the clock to see that it was in fact tomorrow already. Time seems to fly when you're forced to defend yourself from these two devils. "Where are we going?"

"We're going bowling!" Alice said as excited as when an eight year old announces they are going to Disney World.

"Aw come on Alice! You know how I hate bowling; there is no way in hell that I am wearing those shoes that a million of other people have worn before me. It's disgusting and my perfectly pedicure feet will not be subjected to that kind of treatment, I refuse." Rose blurted before I had a chance to protest.

"And you know I have coordination problems, what makes you think that me, the girl that is clumsy to the point of almost being disabled, would be a good bowler. I should never be allowed to throw or even walk with anything that is heavy. How could you think me throwing a bowling ball across a floor with all my might would end well? I have news for you, it won't. Either one of you or I will end up in the ER visiting my uncle and I really don't want that." I interjected appalled by even the thought of myself attempting to bowl.

"Well that's too damn bad for both of you because we are going bowling. Now Rose; you need to be a big girl and get over this fear of using public shoes, they are disinfected between uses and I promise you will not die. And Bella; stop being so melodramatic do you really think we would let you send yourself or us to the ER, we will teach you what to do and you will do it. Am I understood?" Alice boomed. For such a little girl she could be quite scary when she wanted to be.

"Yes, Alice." Rose and I submitted before she could yell at us again.

"Good I'm so excited now let's go to bed, I can't wait." And just like that she went from Dark, scary; intimidate the shit out of you Alice to bright, sunny, angelic Alice. The fact that she could turn it on and off like that scared me even more then scary Alice did.

And with that we curled up on the various pieces of furniture. And I drifted into sweet dreams of my Edward.

XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

"Did you just hear what she said?" I heard a voice far away whispering.

"Ew yes and I wish I didn't. Do you think we should wake her?" Another whispered back, the voices were drawing me away from the beautiful dream.

"Definitely I don't know how much more of this I can handle, she's been talking all night." The first voice said again.

"Okay but maybe you should do it I don't want her to hate me for ruining her little fantasy." The second voice which I now recognized as Rose said.

Oh shit I thought as I realized they were talking about me. I must have been talking in my sleep again. And clearly my recent little hot dream with Edward had not been as private as I once assumed it had been. God I hope I didn't say anything too bad.

"Too late I'm already up." I grumbled as I threw the pillow over my eyes.

"So Bella, have any good dreams last night?" I should have known that Rose wouldn't have let me get away without lots of teasing.

"Yes and if you'd be quiet I could get back to it." I mumbled still hiding from the light under my pillow.

"Too bad because its morning and Rose and I refuse to listen to your hot dreams of my brother any longer. You do realize that you talk in your sleep right, and rather loudly I might add." Alice said.

"Yes I'm well aware. And weren't you the one encouraging me to tell you all about my time with said brother"

"Yes well there is quite a difference between hearing details after the fact and hearing it happen via your sleep talking." Alice pointed out.

"Plus I barely got any sleep with your on going chatter. How am I supposed to look my best without my beauty sleep?" Rose asked.

"Take a nap and might I remind you I'm not the one who suggested the slumber party so don't blame me."

"A nap? Do I look like a 60 year old woman to you?" Rose asked indignantly.

"I don't know just let me sleep 10 more minutes please?" I pleaded.

"Nope get up I have to make you look hot for work and we only have an hour to do so." She jumped up and looked down at my still sleepy expression. "That means now little missy, up, up, up!"

"I'm coming, good god Alice what is wrong with you morning people, it's wrong, mornings are for sleeping." I grumbled while getting up.

"The early bird catches the worm and all that shit. Here I'll make you a deal; you stay still and let me make you over and I'll have Rose make you a nice big cup of coffee before work." Alice enticed.

"Done!" Coffee was like my lifeline on days like today when a full night of sleep is impossible.

"Okay good now sit still and shut up it will be over before you know it."

--X--

After an hour long of pulling on my hair and assaulting my face with make-up I was deemed ready to be seen by Alice. I looked in the mirror and once again had to admit that the girl had a gift. She made my 

hair look wavy and beach-like, and my make-up made me look fresh, spry, and wide awake, which was quite a task seeing as I got less than no sleep.

Rose handed me my coffee as promised and we all headed out in Alice's car because according to Alice we needed some more girl time.

She turned on the radio and after not finding anything good she threw in a Muse CD and we all jammed out for a while until we got to the pool.

"I'm so excited we are working together today Bella! This is going to be such fun!" Alice chirped as we walked into the lifeguard shack.

"Yeah Alice it will be great." I said trying to muster as much enthusiasm as possible.

"Hey beautiful" A musical voice called from behind the register.

"Hey, what are you up to?" I asked before walking up to him and planting a quick peck on his cheek.

"Just thinking about you and how I have to work the office today instead of getting to work with you." He said pouting at the mere thought of spending the work day away from me.

"Aw poor baby, I'm sure you'll be just fine. It would just be a distraction if we were working together anyway, it's better for the children this way." I told him while pinching his cheeks playfully.

He grabbed my hand and placed a kiss on it," but what a wonderful way to be distracted. The kids don't need you as much as I do." He joked.

"Okay get your hands off my buddy, Edward, she's mine today." Alice commanded.

"Wow Alice apparently doesn't share well with others." Edward teased."That's okay, love, I get to have you all to myself later."

"Nope that's where you're wrong again; we're all going out together tonight. Look who has to learn how to share now." Alice said while very maturely sticking her tongue out at him.

"What I never agreed to this. Where are we going? And who is we?"

"We're going bowling and it will be all six of us."

"Do we have to?" Edward asked trying to use his pout on Alice.

"Yes we do. Sorry if my plans don't meet your badass standards with the lack of criminal activites, but you'll just have to deal. Now let go of my partner so we can go guard." Alice commanded.

"Fine." He muttered before giving me one last kiss on the lips and whispering in my ear, "I'll see you after work."I stumbled out of his grip and winked before following Alice.

For the rest of the work day Alice talked animatedly about bowling and how to not injure myself. Then she taught me the art of 'swatching' according to her it is very important for us taken girls to stud watch 

aka swatch. Her words not mine. I was amazed by how many hot guys actually did go swimming, but every time I let my eyes wander they always seemed to go back to my favorite pair of green orbs and that mop of bronze hair. And every time Alice would catch me and remark on my low self control.

On my last shift I was making another one of my sweeps and was disappointed to find that he was busy checking someone in. That was until I noticed the girl he was letting in was throwing herself at him. She had beach blond hair and huge boobs that were barely covered by her skimpy bikini.

Even though he was clearly not interested and actually looked a little grossed out I had this irrational need to go and beat the bitch down. He was mine and she needed to keep those boobs in her own personal bubble. If it wasn't for the fact that I had to watch the pool and his irritated expression wasn't so damn adorable I very well might have. As soon as she left he let out a huff of air and turned to find me laughing at him. He scowled at my amusement before his face broke into my favorite crooked grin.

Finally the last shift ended and I bounded off the chair and jumped into his arms while giving him a quick peck on the lips.

"Miss me?" he teased.

"Definitely, the words so close yet so far away seem to hold more meaning to me now."

"Agreed. It was rather unfortunate that I didn't have you to keep away the floozies for me." I couldn't help but laugh at that.

"Um Edward who says floozies?" I teased.

"I do! And you were over there laughing at me in my time of need." He whined.

"Your time of need, you're so over dramatic, although I did want to come over here and beat that bitch down. Her and her boobs need a lesson in personal space invasion."

"You're so adorable when you're jealous."

"I'm not jealous; Alice's inability to share is apparently rubbing off on me though. That blonde bimbo was trying to take something that was mine, and I was ready to step in and set her straight."

"You most definitely are, but that's okay because I prefer brunettes anyway." He flashed me his crooked smile again.

"Good to know" Was all I could get out before his lips claimed mine. I soon found myself on a counter with my legs wrapped around his waist pulling him closer. Just as he tried to deepen the kiss a loud whistle was blown in my ear, "No PDA in public please children. If you are going to do that I suggest you take it elsewhere or at least not in front of the children." Emmett said in his serious lifeguard voice.

"Shut up Emmett." Edward scowled before reclaiming my lips.

"Actually" Jasper interjected, "Alice needs Bella in the car ASAP so she can get her ready for tonight."

"Ugh this isn't fair!" Edward whined into my neck.

"I know life isn't fair. I'll see you tonight, Babe." I said before kissing him on the cheek and heading for the car.

"Where's Rose?" I asked as I hoped in the front of Alice's Porsche.

"Emmett said she took off 10 minutes ago mumbling something about a stupid pixie and saving her precious feet." She shrugged as she pulled out of the parking lot.

"Typical Rose always a bit melodramatic. She's not skipping is she because-"

"Don't worry she sent me a text saying she'll pick up her uniform and she'll meet us there." Alice interrupted before I could try to weasel my way out of it.

"Wait what uniforms?"

"You'll see." She responded cryptically as always.

"Great more playing Bella Barbie, I can't wait." I sighed; tonight is going to be a disaster.

So there you have it. I know it isn't my favorite chapter, but I needed to get out of my funk and start writing again.

I already have the next one started and it is going to be awesome I promise. Bella bowling, Emmett's shirt and Rose's surprise.

Review and I'll give you a sneak at the next chapter; ) Pretty please with Edward on top!
