When we came back the boys had decided to go to the island for a while. We agreed, wanting to tan for a while and swim a little. And the boys wanted to show off on the sea-doos. We walked back to the dock and went our separate ways.

About twenty minutes later we arrived at a small island where the girls we saw earlier were, but they were joined by two more, a boy and girl.

"That's Micheal and Jayne. They come here more often than we do." Edward told me, beaching the Jet-ski. "We don't really talk much."

All the kids waved and we waved back, as the others joined us. Alice, Rose and myself laid out towel and put tanning oil on. We laid out and watched the boys show off and wreck and get back on then try again. Edward was the best, he did three sixties and jumps, Emmett got too close and spayed us with sand and water. After being covered in that, Rosalie revoked his sea-doo privileges and we washed off in lake.

When the sun started to set a few hours later, a few hours after riding and playing in the water, we started back and packed everything up.

"So, I was thinking..." Alice started. "Maybe we should go back to my place and watch a movie?"

"Sorry, Alice but I have to go home." Edward said. She looked me, hopefully.

"I should get home too." I said. She looked disappointed but cheered up instantly.

"Maybe next time." She said, skipping back to Jasper.

"Maybe." Edward said."Come on. Lets get to Dairy Queen before dark, shall we?" Once again we all went to our cars and left.

"Did you have fun?" He asked.

"Yeah. A lot of fun." I answered. "I've never been out on a lake. The beach, yes." He laughed and turned the radio back on. Realize was playing.

"I love this song." I said. "But no singing."

"You remember the rules? Good girl." He reached over to mess with my hair but I caught his hand. He didn't seem to mind having his hand intwined with mine, though, as he held onto it and lowered it to the seat between us. I didn't mind it either.

All that came on the radio after that was love songs, on every station. He cut the engine and took he hand away when were there, the others had beaten us.

Alice and Rosalie already had Moolatees in their hands and one for me, too.

The boys had Blizzards.

"All in all...About Thirty Five Bucks, Edward. Pay up." Jasper said. He did.

"And now, you may have your ice cream." Emmett said, handing over our treats.

"Thank you?" I uncertainly and joined the girls on the tail gate of the truck.

"So, how did you like the lake?" Alice asked.

"I know you set it up, Alice." I said.

"We have no idea what you are talking about!" Rose said, innocently.

"Why so defencive?" I asked. She flipped her hair took a bite of ice cream.

"That's what I thought."

"Bella, we want Edward to be happy! And he really likes you! But, after Tanya, he's scarred to open up!" Alice said.

"Well, he can ask when he's ready. Stay out of it! Please?"

"Fine."

"Promise?"

"Well..."

"Guys!" I said warningly.

"Fine, fine." They both said. The boys joined us then. Emmett was covered with his ice cream. Rosalie rolled her eyes and kissed his cheek. Alie mad room for Jasper, then cuddled against him. Edward ignored all this and climbed into the back.

It was weird that he could ignore their PDA all the time.

"So, Bella. Quick question. Do you Ian Somerhalder?" Rosalie asked.''

"No. But I do know Kellan Lutz. And Billie Joe Armstrong."

"Awesome." Emmett said, loudly.

"Eat your ice cream, and be quiet." Rose said.

"Yes ma`am!" He obeyed.

When were all done, Edward said he had to get home.

"How's Esme doin'?" Emmett asked.

"Baby's due any day now." Edward said.

"I can't wait!" Alice said.

"Edward's mom's having a baby." Rosalie filled me in. "That's why he always has to be home."

"Boy or girl?"

"No one knows. They said if it was girl they were going to name her Elizabeth after Carlisle's sister, or if it's a boy, Carlisle."

"Why not name Edward, Carlisle?"

"Edward's Esme's nephew. His parents died in a car accident when he was younger."

"That's so...sad." I whispered, looking towards him. He shrugged.

"I still gotta get home. So, off the truck. Let's go!" We all got off the gate and went to our own cars. Edward took my hand again.

Maybe Virginia wouldn't be so bad after all.
