EPOV

I spent a whole forty-five minutes listening to Jessica's rant on why I didn't return any of her calls yesterday afternoon in the middle of the night. I was banging my head against the headboard for actually answering the phone.

And when I told that I was hanging out with a friend and then she asked who, I told her who. That brought on another round of her screeching and of course more adding more to my head damage.

I finally calmed her down, promising her that I would pick her up for lunch and we would spend the rest of the day together. And a bouquet of roses was required as well, typical of her to ask.

BPOV

The rest of the week passed by; I went to work, occasionally spent time with the Alice, Rosalie, and their other halves, went home and started the same routine all over again in the morning. Edward stopped by with Emmett and Rosalie when they came over to bring me lunch. I insisted on paying for my own food, but Edward wouldn't have it.

He said he owed it to me for not being able to spend time together since he was so busy with work and Jessica. I cringed when he said that but regained my composure.

I woke up and remembered that it was Saturday and I had the day off, I slipped out of bed and went to the bathroom.

After getting dressed and decided to go the library and check some books out for school since we were going to start and read and examine epic poems.

I walked in and greeted Mrs. Bary, the librarian that I had known since my first visit to the library many years ago.

"Hello Bella dear. How are you?" Mrs. Bary said as she finished scanning the books on her desk.

"I'm doing fine, I don't have work today so I decided to stop by." I smiled.

"Alright, well come and find me when you are ready to checkout."

"If only more young people were like her, they'd actually come by to the library during their free time," she fussed as she walked over to the American History section.

I walked past the children's section and the abruptly stopped when I heard a velvety voice I would recognize anywhere drifting to me. I turned back and stopped when I saw Adonis himself sitting in a chair, his back to me reading a book to the kids that had a formed a half circle around him.

I stood there leaning against the bookcase in awe just listening to him read; his voice would change to match the characters in the book, it would drop a few octaves or rise to a high pitch. The smile stayed plastered on my face and when he finished reading all the kids began clapping and cheering. I decided to make my presence know so I clapped slowly and cleared my throat.

He turned around in his chair and faced me, "Bella? What are you doing here?" I loved watching the blush slowing tint his cheeks; it was nice to see someone else blushing instead of me.

"I could ask the same to you," I smirked.

"But I asked first," returning the smirk.

"I'm not working this weekend and came here to check out some books for school" I said looking into his emerald eyes, but then remembered he didn't answer my question, "so what's your story?"

"When I was little, my mother would take Alice and I to the library in Chicago, and there was this woman who would read to us and I promised myself that when I got older I would to the same. I would give other children the same happiness I received when I was read to, so here I am." He said with a gorgeous, heartbreaking smile.

Seriously, he comes and reads to little kids in his spare time.

How perfect is this guy?

That perfect.

"I know it's kind of geeky, but I enjoy it," he finally said, assuming I thought that when I never replied back.

"No, no Edward. I think it's fantastic, not many people who put time aside for something like this." I looked up at him, meaning every word I said.

Edward truly had a beautiful soul.

"Thanks, I just wanted to give back, you know."

"Well, if you'll excuse me, I've got to go check some books out. It was nice seeing you, Edward." Even though I really didn't want to leave, but I still felt this nagging feeling whenever I was with him.

"Yeah, I've got to go as well. Hey, come over for dinner tomorrow night, Jessica is coming over and I would love it if you guys actually met. I understand that you have met, but I mean get to know one another."

Is he serious? He wants me to actually witness the two of them together, being in love and acting all couple-y in front of me. Not like it would matter to him since he has no idea how much I loved him.

Did I love Edward? No, it was just a big little crush, it'll fade eventually. Wow, big little, nice use of an oxymoron, I told myself sarcastically. No, I would give love another look later on maybe, but not right now.

"I'm not so sure I can come over, maybe another night." I quickly lied, I had no intention whatsoever to 'get to know' Jessica, I would just give my heart another ache.

"Nonsense Bella. Please come over, it would mean a lot to me if you two became good friends," yeah when hell freezes over twice," please Bella. Esme misses you and Carlisle told me about a book you might be interested in. the other." By now he was voice was pleading and his eyes were boring into mine.

Damnit it was dazzling me.

"I'll call you later and let you know." I would some excuse not going by the end of today, I wouldn't be able to bear any of it.

"Please come by Bella. Make time to stop by for dinner, like I said it would mean a lot." And he walked out the door and to walked to his car.

I honestly did not want to go, but a small part of me wanted to see Edward and Jessica together. I had only seen them together that one fateful day when they walked hand in hand into the bakery a few weeks back, but now I knew more about them and I wanted to find out what makes Alice and the rest of them cringe at the sight of her and Edward love her.

After I gathered all my books and got into my car I dialed Rosalie's number since Alice was out of town for the weekend.

"Hello." Rosalie answered, sounding almost annoyed.

"Rose? It's Bella."

"Oh hi Bella, how are you?" She asked her voice kind again.

"I'm fine, what about you? Are you alright?"

"Yeah I'm okay, I'm guessing you're wondering why I answered sounding annoyed?"

"Let me guess. Emmett."

"I don't know what's worse, you guessing right or the scene before me." She gave out an exasperated sigh.

Then suddenly, "Emmett! That's not helping. Just got get a mop and a wet towel and clean this up."

"Somebody's in trouble" I heard Jasper snicker, but it didn't sound like he was any better than Emmett.

"You too Whitlock, get your ass over there and help him. I'm going to go and have a comfortable conversation with Bella and when I come back this all better be cleaned up." Rosalie yelled loudly at the both of them.

"Hi Bella!" They boys said in unison.

"Clean." Rosalie barked at them.

I was laughing so hard that I could barely control the steering wheel of my car,

"What did they do this time that caused a mess and so much screaming?"

"Well, as you know Alice is in Seattle for some magazine conference and mom and dad are in another medical conference till tomorrow noon, so I'm stuck here babysitting dumb and dumber over here. We were sitting in the kitchen when Emmett noticed the two watermelons that dad brought home, don't ask why. Emmett being Emmet picks them both up and begins juggling them, but he begins doing so right when Jasper walks past him.

And of course, Jasper steps onto his foot; Emmett begins cursing Jasper and is about to punch him but seeing that his hands are full. No, he doesn't slowly place the melons onto the counter like a normal person would no, Emmett being the genius that he is, drops them and the land onto the floor breaking. So know the floor is covered with watermelon, Jasper slips and falls to the floor and now he is covered in watermelon. As he is getting up he slips again and tries to grab onto anything, and ends up pulling Emmett down with him. So now I've lost two watermelons, said watermelons now cover the entire kitchen floor, and two grown men now also covered with said watermelons, wrestling on the floor."

By the time she finished telling her story, I had to pull over and laugh, tears were running down my face, my sides hurt and I could hardly breath.

"Oh my gosh Rosalie, they did all of that?" I asked.

"Are you really questioning me? We're talking the world's two most immature, egoistic, testosterone induced, act like they are five men. They did all that within a three minute time period."

By now even Rosalie was laughing along with me, and then she said once she was able to breath again, "And what's worse was when Emmett brought the vacuum out. He said,' it would suck up all the seeds.' And then Jasper's sitting teasing Emmett, like he's some little saint."

This brought on a whole new wave of laughter. I loved these people so much; this is a perfect reason why.

"Hold on Bella, let me see if those goons finished cleaning." I heard Rosalie's footsteps, along with Emmett's.

"Jasper, get off the counter, grab a cloth, and help me." He sounded frustrated, probably since cleaning after his messes wasn't his thing.

"No can do buddy, I'm injured." I heard Jasper reply back with a laugh.

"Whitlock, help him now, or I'm calling Alice and telling her you stained that shirt that she picked out for you the other day, geez it's brand new," Rosalie told him and I could picture the smirk on her face," anyways I'm sure you are well aware from past experiences that Alice and damaged clothes do not make a pleased pair."

"Alright, I'm back again." Rosalie sighed, she probably felt bad about having to interrupt our conversation so many times. But I understood, Emmett and Jasper were a handful, "So Bella, is there a particular reason why you are calling? Anything wrong?"

I loved Rosalie, she knew me too well.

"I ran into your brother today," I began, not sure how exactly I was going the tell her.

"Edward?" Rosalie asked surprised.

"Well what other brother do you have that I should be aware of? Maybe he's single." I asked, while I pulled up to a red light.

"Sorry, go on."

"Anyways, I saw him and then he asked me to come over for dinner tomorrow night since Jessica was coming over. He really wants us to get to know one another and he kept saying how happy he would be if we became friends." I said in a rush.

I didn't want to give her the impression that I was obsessed with her brother. But she and Alice were well aware of my feelings toward Edward.

Flashback

Alice and Rosalie invited me to spend the night over at their house, since they guys were going to spend they night over at Emmett's to watch a few games and play videos games all night.

We were sitting watching reruns of The O.C, since Alice loved Ryan and Rosalie and I loved Seth's quirkiness. A commercial came on and all of the sudden Alice blurted,

"We know you like Edward." She said it in a normal and relaxed tone, as if she was discussing the weather. My feelings for Edward and the weather should not be combined together.

I chocked on my water and kept coughing until Rose came by and began pounding my back.

"I you Edward. No." I couldn't even think straight, was I that obvious? Was I about to lose everything I had with the Cullens? Were they going to think that I was going after a man that was soon going to be married to another?

"Bella as a writer, you should know that three nouns alone do not make a correct sentence." Rosalie laughed.

"It's okay honey. Maybe this is how it is supposed to be, maybe you were suppose to realize it first then along the way he would to." Alice said smiled warmly at me.

"How long have you guys known and who else knows?" I asked hesitantly.

"We noticed you liked him when we came by to get you from his room the first night you came over for dinner, it just grew didn't it?" Rosalie answered, smiling at me, "You had this smile that any fool in love would recognize. As far as anyone knowing, I think it's just the two of us, and maybe Emmett and Jasper have finally caught on since they have been asking us weird questions lately."

"Answer this Bella, how much do you like him?" Alice asked, giving me that said 'I dare you not to answer and deny your feelings'.

"A lot." I muttered quietly, and in case they didn't hear me. I'm sure my red stained cheeks gave me away, because Alice begins squealing and Rosalie shortly follows after.

End Flashback

Let's just say that night I spilled my entire heart out to two of the greatest people I have ever met in my life.

But also said something that kept replaying in my mind,

"You and Edward will be together eventually, there are just obstacles along the way."

And it stuck, I know that I shouldn't get my hopes up to high, but her words stuck to me.

Maybe Jessica and this wedding would be an obstacle.

No, don't think like that. Edward is happy with her and his happiness is all that matters.

What about your happiness? That stupid voice, ugh.

"He wants you to befriend her," Rosalie sneered, her voice brought me back to reality, "Has he lost his mind?"

"Rose, he doesn't know. He just wants the love of his life meeting another one of his friends." I said slowly; whenever she was brought into the conversation, let's just say that Rosalie was never a happy camper.

"I don't care, like meeting her would bless you life or something," she mocked, "Wait, she's coming over tomorrow night?"

"That's what he told me."

"Kill me. That means I actually have to sit through it alone, since Alice won't be home by then."

"What about Emmett?" He could always sit there and she could avoid her.

Yes, I'm refraining myself from using her name.

"Emmett won't be able to since he's got some big dinner meeting with some guy about him opening his own bar." She sounded frustrated but then sounded much happier, "Bella, you have to come. I won't be able to endure it all by myself. It will be pure torture."

"Rose, this isn't fair. You know how hard it would be for me." And it really would be, but she sounded so desperate. I had to help her, what kind of friend would I be anyway, they given me so much. The Cullens befriending me was already enough.

So I gave in, "Okay, fine. I'll come over. But it's for you only and you have to always stay by my side. No ditching."

"Yes ma'am." She saluted, "Hey do you want to come over right now?"

"Awe Rose, the boys becoming too much?" I laughed.

"Very funny. You try having to watch over these two," she snapped jokingly, "You know they have been awfully quiet. They can act so annoyingly immature."

"Oh Rosie, you don't mean that." I heard Emmett's booming voice.

"I spoke too soon." I heard Rose mutter, more to herself than to anyone else.

"I resent that Rose. I did nothing wrong." Jasper quipped up, joining in the conversation.

"Oh whatever, Jazzy poo," Rosalie laughed, using his nick name that Alice, and only Alice was allowed to call him, "Bella please hurry up. I'm in desperate need of another girl here."

"Alright, do you want me to bring any food with me? Lunch perhaps?"

And of course at the sound of 'food', Emmett got excited.

"FOOD!" I heard him yell, "Rosie, tell her. Tell her to bring food with her. Teeelllll herrr."

"Em, shush. I'm trying to but I'm going to need you to calm down. You're almost as bad as Alice."

"Hey," Jasper yelled.

"She's my sister, I'm given privilege to say things like that." Rosalie retorted, "Here Bella, Emmet is just dying to talk to you."

"Bella!" Emmett's booming voice bellowed through the phone," How are you dearest?"

"I'm doing splendid. Oh kinds sure, so sweet of you to ask," I giggled, leave it to Emmett to decided to speak like this after no less than two seconds ago was yelling and hollering for his great need of food.

"Why of course my lady. What have you been up to this lovely spring day" He asked.

"Just strolling around town."

"Okay, enough of old-fashioned fancy talking. Please bring food." He said urgently, "I'm hungry!"

"When are you not?" I asked him, while I parked my car in front of Lenny's; I grabbed my purse and headed towards the door.

"Isabella. I'm a big boy, I need my three daily meals."

"God forbid you miss them, oh and don't forget the snacks in between." I laughed while I waited for the woman in front of me to finish ordering her food.

"Now you're talking."

He began droning on about how he finally beat Jasper at some racing game; I took this time to order the food. Poor kid thought I was going to eat all the food for myself, since they order was so big. I laughed when he offered to give me some Tums.

When I brought the phone back to my ear, he was still rambling.

"Okay Nascar, let me talk to my best friend again. I'm sure she's heard enough about your big win."
"His only win." I heard Jasper laugh, followed by a loud THUD.

"Finally" Rosalie sighed," that man hogs everything, isn't food enough.

But of course, Emmett had a comeback," But you still love me."

And so did Jasper, "Well she kind of has to, who else would put up with you." There was more thudding as well.

"Bella, just come over," she added for Emmett's sake, "and bring the food with you. We will talk when you get her. But if I were you, I'd take my time driving here. No rush getting to those two."

I laughed and went to grab the bags from the cashier, "Are you kidding me? They're the reason why I'm coming over, " I teased.

"Sure, sure. I'll see you soon."

"Bye Bella." I heard the boys sing in harmony.

I was currently sitting in between Jasper and Emmett who were rubbing their stomachs and groaning.

"Man, I ate too much," Emmett whined.

"This is all your fault," Jasper complained," you told Bella to bring food over."

"You were both hungry, " I told them," If you guys had normal appetites rather than grizzly bears, you'd be feeling fine and maybe would have enough energy to play twister."

"Oh no." Rosalie groaned.

"Twister," the guys piped up.

What did I get myself into?

Twister with those two sounds fun, I liked writing this chapter. It wasn't as sad and dramatic as the others.

Okay so to clear some things up, Bella/Edward will take time. They won't be together for while, I mean he can just automatically break things off with Jessica for Bella.

That's just so un-Edwardish. So please be patient with me, it will happen. This is my first fanfic and I want to do this right the first time.

Thank you guys again for all your support.

Love,
