Hey guys! Sorry for the late update! Anywho, here is the next chapter so you can forgive me now lol.

Disclaimer: I do not own any thing in this story, except anything you haven't seen/heard before and the story line.

Tomorrow would definitely be an interesting day.

I climbed into bed, and waited for the sleep to take me into darkness. Suddenly, I had an urge to stay awake because, finally, reality was better than any dream.

BPOV

I stood in front of my mirror and sighed. As good as it's going to get, I thought. Unless, Rose had anything to say about it. I heard the doorbell ring and groaned. I knew that Rose was here and that probably wasn't a good thing.

I walked down the stairs begrudgingly and prepared myself before opening the door. I opened the door quickly, like pulling off a bandaid, and plastered a smile on my face. I hope i get through the next half hour; it would be an awful punishment to never see Edward again.

"Rose! I'm so glad you came!" I said sarcastically, she smirked in reply and stormed up to my bedroom.

I slowly trudged up the stairs behind her, hoping the next part wouldn't be too painful.

I watched Rose as she pondered my outfit, her hands swaying gently at her sides. She turned around and looked at me firmly. I prepared myself for the lecture, but to my surprise she just smiled and nodded.

"It's prefect" she said calmly. I stared at her questionably.

"Really?" I asked cautiously. She nodded.

"Although knowing you, you haven't prepared make up or anything!" she ran around the room organising the makeup, I groaned. I watched her run around the room, everything she did was so smooth it looked like she was walking on clouds.

"Sit!" she said while pointing at the chair. I rolled my eyes, and sat on the chair, preparing myself to endure the coming torture.

My nerves started race as we inched further towards the Cullen house. I knew that today was going to be interesting, it was going to be incredibly hard to keep my hands of Edward, when he always looks so gorgeous.

We arrived at the house; I could tell that that Rose was nervous also. She would never tell anyone but I could tell she like Edward's brother.

We saw Jazz's car up ahead, I was surprised he went in without us. Then again, Jasper was the most comfortable around new people than the rest of us.

We walked up the driveway and I could see everyone waiting for us in the lounge room. I felt bad for being the last ones there, but then again none of them had to endure Rosalie's form of torture.

I heard the scurry of feet as the doorbell rang and suddenly the door burst open, there stood Emmett with a big goofy grin on his face.

"Come on in, Ladies!" he boomed, I wondered if he had a different volume, because I certainly hadn't heard it.

We walked through the house and my breath caught in my throat when I saw him. He was wearing a simple blue button down shirt with jeans and a grey jacket over top. He looked perfect, but that wasn't new.

He stood up as we entered the room, such a gentleman. We sat around talking, waiting for the bus to arrive. I sat next to Edward on the love seat, like that hadn't been planned, I thought. He put his arm around me, which could have been a sign on comfort, but I knew better. I laughed at someone's joke and my heart swelled when I saw him chuckle as well.

The doorbell interrupted our conversation and we all jumped on the bus. I was surprised to learn that it was an individual tour.

The bus ride to our first stop was certainly amusing. It was very childish, and I could tell Edward was embarrassed by his family. Although, I quite liked them.

"87 bottles of beer on the wall! 87 bottles of beer! You take one day and pass it around! 86 bottles of beer on the wall! 86 bottles of beer on the wall ..." this song continued for a long time. Emmett and, surprisingly, Rosalie sang immaturely.

Behind us I heard Alice telling Jasper all about her favourite things. Including cars, shoes, brands etc. Jasper looked totally at ease, and I could tell he had the effect on Alice that he did on everyone else. He was very charismatic, able to change anyone's emotions, it kind of freaked me out.

Esme and Carlisle sat down the front quietly talking; it was evident that they were totally in love. Their relationship gave me hope, maybe people could be in love for a life time.

I looked at Edward, who was sitting next to me. He smiled at me and looked around, I followed his lead and looked around also. Next thing I know he was kissing me on the cheek. I blushed and giggled.

"Can I have another one?" I asked childishly. He chuckled and leant forward again, when he was close I could feel his warm breath tickling my cheek, I turned my head and his lips touched mine softly. I pulled back and smiled triumphantly. He chuckled again and shook his head.

"Careful, love! None of that today!" he said carefully. I blushed at his choice of words.

"Fine!" I said, pretending to be upset. I crossed my arms and pouted. I had to keep a straight face, but it was proving awfully difficult because he was starting to get worried that he had offended me.

"The wheels on the bus go round and round, round and round, round and round. The wheels on the bus go round and round, all through the town.

It got harder to maintain a serious face when I heard the childish song change. They must have gotten bored or finished the other one.

Edward started to panic next to me as I continued to ignore his pleads. Alice and Jasper had moved on to him, he was talking about the world wars, history was his favourite subject. From what Edward had told me, Alice was one of those girly girl types, so I was surprised to see her interested in what Jasper was saying.

"Bella ..." Edward said concerned. He rubbed my arm, I couldn't help it, when he touched me I shivered and he snickered.

"Bella, I'm sorry" he pleaded "I just really like you and I don't want to get m family involved because I know they will screw it up!"

I was shocked. "How can your family screw up OUR relationship?" I exclaimed.

"It's a long story" He paused "About my ex, who I don't want to talk about!" he said firmly. I sighed, trying to calm my anger, we never talked about him, about his past.

"Look" Edward started, I looked up questioningly "I really do like you! A lot!" he admitted.

I nodded, I could tell that he meant it. Just one look in his gorgeous emerald eyes and I was a goner. I was about to reply when the tour guide interrupted me.

"If you look around us, you will see the Cascade Mountains. The passage we are travelling through was carved by the Columbia River, which you can see to your left." The guide droned on for another few minutes about the history of the mountains and river. Like I care about the mountains and river, when the most attractive guy in the whole world just told me he really likes me.

"Bella, you don't have to say anything, I understand!" he said quietly.

"Edward, I really like you to!" I responded quickly. He smiled a big toothy grin, and I couldn't help but reciprocate.

Edward began to lean toward me, I could feel his warm breath against my cheek, he was about to kiss me and I couldn't wait. My heart started to beat faster and my palms got sweaty, I would never get used to his kisses and I was glad, this feeling was like nothing else. He leaned even closer and I could almost feel his lips on mine, he was moving very slow and it was torturing me. I felt my breath hitch in my throat when his lips brushed against mine lightly.

"Hey bro! What ya doing?" I heard a loud bellowing laugh follow. "Look Rosie, Bella and Eddie were about to kiss!" Edward let out a sigh of relief. He didn't see us kissing.

"No, we weren't I was telling her a secret!" Edward said firmly.

"OH OH! I love secrets!" I heard Alice squeal from the back seat. "What was it?"

"I was telling her how much I hate you!" Edward responded cheerfully. Emmett laughed loudly and smacked him on the head.

"Now now Eddie-poo! I know you love me!" Emmett said teasingly.

"I don't think so!" Edward said in the same condescending tone.

"Deep down?" Alice said, having moved closer to join the conversation. Edward shook his head.

"Deep Deep Deep down?" Emmett questioned.

Edward sat for a moment, pondering. "No, that's just hate." He said.

"Edward! That's not very nice! We are your family!" Esme said, clearly disappointed, from the front.

"Sorry mom!" Edward apologised. "maybe deep deep deep deep deep deep deep down!" Edward said jokingly. His siblings seemed satisfied with this answer.

I sighed as the banter came to an end. I couldn't help it, but I was secretly disappointed that Edward didn't tell them the truth. Maybe he didn't like me that way after all.
