"Alice I can't go." I told her.

"Why not?" Alice asked,

"Because I would feel like I would be intruding." I told her, it was my excuse for every vacation.

"But you wouldn't be! Rose and Jasper are coming to!" she tried to convince me.

"Alice we go through this every time you go on vacation."

"And I get closer and closer at getting you to go!"

"What makes you think this year will be any different from the others?" I asked, tracing the lines of the quilt on her bed.

"Because, Edward is going this time." She smiled devilishly.

It was Sunday, two days after the talent show. I have to say we totally rocked it. Our duet won first place. Jessica, who I didn't even know could sing, won second.

Alice was trying to convince me to go on their family vacation with them over winter break. She did it every year and I always gave her the same answer. It didn't really matter if I went or not, I would hear everything when they came back. I always did because Alice doesn't like to not talk.

"He has nothing to do with me going or not." I told her.

"If you go you could spend bonding time with him."

"Where? In the hospital? 'Cause that's where I'm bound to be if I go with you. I can't ski."

"It would make a great story." She joked.

"Ha ha. I'm not going." I told her for the last time.

"Fine. You leave me no choice." She said a little too sneaky.

"What do you mean?" I asked cautiously.

"You'll see." She muttered as she walked out of her room.

"Alice?" I called. "Alice?" great, what did I get myself into. I rolled onto my stomach, my face in her pillows.

A few minutes later I heard the door open. I assumed it was Alice and rolled over and laid on my back.

"What are you going to do with me Alice?" I asked, staring at the ceiling. "There is no way I am going."

I heard quiet footsteps coming towards me. I took my eyes off the ceiling and looked at the person walking towards me, who was not Alice.

"No way?" Edward asked.

"You're not Alice." I stated a little embarrassed.

His musical laugh filled the room and his green eyes were bright with laughter.

"That would be correct." He laughed again.

I sat up, criss-cross, and he sat in front of me. He leaned over and gave me a gentle, sweet, little kiss and pulled away.

"Why are you here?" I asked.

"Well when a mommy and daddy love each other very much they-"

I smacked him playfully on the arm and he chuckled.

"I meant why you are in Alice's room?"

"Does it matter?" he asked, kissing me again.

"I guess not." I said before his lips came back.

He started to deepen the kiss and my hands started running through his hair, his hands on my hips. Too soon we pulled away to catch our breaths.

"I don't think Alice would like us making out on her bed." I chuckled.

"I don't think she'll mind." He whispered before bringing his lips back to mine. He pulled me onto his lap, bringing us closer. I broke away again.

"Why are you doing this?" I asked, not that I really minded.

"Doing what? I can't kiss my girlfriend?" he asked curiously.

"I guess your right." I gave him a quick kiss and then moved so I was laying next to him and he started playing with my hair.

"Bella?" Edward asked his voice irresistible.

"Hmm?"

"Will you please go on vacation with me?" he asked.

Alice! So this was her 'plan'. I rolled over and looked at his face and all thought of saying no vanished.

"Edward…um…I…." I knew what I wanted to say, I just couldn't form a sentence.

"Please Bella." He looked like a little boy asking his mom for the little puppy he always wanted.

"Well…um…you…" stupid words! Form a sentence!

I quickly looked away and closed my eyes.

"Bella?"

"Edward," I breathed, "I cant."

"Why not?"

"Because it's a family trip."

"Rose and Jasper are going."

"Yeah…but…" crap; he had a point, just like Alice.

"But nothing Bella."

"Edward I can't go." I stated firmly.

"What do you have going on that make you unavailable?"

"I'm going to my moms." I lied.

"Oh really?" he obviously didn't buy the lie.

"Yep, I totally forgot."

"Liar."

"You don't know that."

"Yes I do. If it was true then you would've told Alice."

Dang him! Stupid smart boyfriend.

"So?"

"Why won't you go? He asked. I opened my eyes and he looked frustrated.

"I always spend Christmas with Charlie." I told him.

"And…?" he probed.

"And I'm the only one Charlie had here." I told him. It wasn't really lying, nor was it the truth. Charlie wouldn't mind me going; he would gladly go spend time with his life time friend Billy Black.

"Oh. I see." He sounded honest.

But Edward didn't know that….

"I'm sorry Edward. Maybe some other time."

"Oh next time your'e defiantly coming." He said. I laughed and gave him a kiss.

"Go get Alice now."

"Yes ma'am." He saluted and a few minutes later Alice appeared.

"You're full of it." she glared.

"But he doesn't know that." I smiled and walked downstairs to get some lunch.
