A lot of thanks to those who did review.

Chapter 10: Show Me Out

"Maybe we should get something to eat before we discuss this," Tori suggested. "You'll be able to think a lot better once you have something warm and goody in your stomach!" At the last sentence, a bright, happy smile spread like butter on a hot pan on Tori's face.

"She a little hungry," Nathan explained. "Once she eats something she'll get better."

I nodded my head slowly and carefully, still shocked by the revelation. I tucked a stray stand of my hair behind my ear and before I knew it, someone had picked me up. I, embarrassingly, let out a squeak that sounded like…well…a squeak that a mouse makes. I looked up to find the culprit was Nathan. He smiled winningly at me, but it faltered a bit when he heard a snarl coming from someone in front of him. Nathan looked up; I looked to the side to find Nathan staring at a glaring Edward and an amused smile from Tori.

"If he goes after you, Nathan," Tori started, "there's a 90 chance that I won't help you. I will, however, be on the sideline rooting, and I'm not rooting for you."

"Aw, and here I thought you loved me, nymph," Nathan said in mock disparity. "I guess I have to find someone else to love me. Maybe Bella here would love to have me, wouldn't you princess?"

"Am I nine or something?" I shot back at him. "I don't need a nickname because I already have one. So quit calling me 'princess.'"

"I thought you liked that nickname," Nathan said.

"I did when I was nine," I shot back.

"This is all highly amusing, but would someone stop them?" Emmett said, upset.

I pouted up at Nathan and he let me down with a sigh. I then ran to Emmett and hugged him.

"You'll always be my teddy bear," I said to Emmett sternly. I then turned to the rest of the people in the room. "Can we go eat now?"

The room burst into light laughter except Rosalie, who let a small smile slip through. Alice shook her head.

"Not yet Bella, you still have to get dressed," she pointed out. I walked over to her and carefully looked at the clothes in her arms. I pulled something black in the middle of the pile, which began to lean precariously to the side. Beside her, Jasper quickly steadied the pile and took half away from Alice. I smiled sheepishly and took the first thing on top of Jasper's pile.

"Go ahead and change, Bella," Esme said kindly, "The girls and I can put these new clothes into the closet with Edward's clothes." She shooed me into the bathroom and closed the door behind her. I looked at the clothes in my hands and remembered that I had forgotten two very important things with me. The door opened again to reveal a hand shoved through the small opening of the door.

"I think you might need this," Rosalie's voice came through.

"Uh-thanks," I said, quickly getting over my shock of her being so thoughtful.

I took the clothes off her hands and looked at it. The clothes were undergarments that I needed, a dark emerald green bra and panty set, something that Alice would've bought for me. I put on the undergarments swiftly and finally looked at the clothes that I had randomly chosen. It was a simple ruffled, billow black skirt and a dark, silky blue tank top. I pulled these on before looking into the mirror above the bathroom sink. My hair was very straight and gleamed reddish-brown underneath the bathroom lights. I smiled at my reflection and then I heard my stomach grumble with protest for the long wait of food.

I stepped out of the bathroom to find the room had emptied except for Edward and Nathan, who was watching Edward very cautiously. Edward stood about six feet away from Nathan and held a very smug smile on his lips. I shook my head in exasperation for I knew that Edward had a "talk" with Nathan.

"Hey," Nathan said in a tone of voice that was a pitch higher than his normal tone. He cleared his throat nervously when he noticed the change of tone. "The others are downstairs waiting for you. I'm gonna go down, too." His voice cracked at the last word and I looked at him in amusement. Nathan took one last look at Edward before leaving the room in a fast blur.

I turned my gaze to Edward and looked at him disapprovingly. "What did you say to him Edward? Nathan was scared out of his pants!"

Edward chuckled lowly and moved to my side and softly, but firmly, placed his arms around his a hug. I melted against him and sighed in contentment. "I said nothing that would offend anyone. I simply restated my place by your side."

I pouted and lifted my head up to look into his gorgeous eyes. "You threatened him didn't you?"

He chuckled again and placed a loving kiss on my forehead before saying, "I did no such thing. I just stated that I did not like him holding you."

I pulled out of his embrace and rested my hands on my hips, tapping my foot as well. "And what else did you say?"

Edward smiled sheepishly before admitting to his fault. "I also said that I would forcefully take his arms out if I caught him holding you."

I rolled my eyes and shook my head at his statement. "He's family to me Edward. Just like Jasper and Emmett is family to me. Please try to refrain from threatening members of my family."

Edward moved quickly and the next thing I knew, I was crushed tightly in his arms, not that it was painful. It was more like…possessive?

"I dislike sharing you with some many other people," he murmured in my ear. I felt my knees grow weak as he continued to talk. "I may be selfish but I request you to stop spending time with them. Spend more time with me, love. You never spend time with me anymore."

He lifted his head from his position at my neck and slowly inched his lips closer to mine. My eyes slid closed in anticipation and my hands gripped his shoulders because my knees had completely given out. His arms tightened around my waist a mere second before his lips landed softly on mine. I had only kept our connection for a few seconds before slumping completely into his arms and releasing our kiss.

"Bella?!" Edward asked, alarmed.

I looked up at min dizzily. "You…made…me…faint."
