*Waves excitedly* Hi, guys! I have a new story. It's something that I've been thinking about for a while now and today I somehow got the idea to stick and wrote it out. Seriously, I've been up since 9AM yesterday working on this and have fifteen chapters prewritten. So, yeah, I'M excited to see what you guys think.

ALSO, Breaking Twilight now has a banner. It was made by the amazing missrebecca. I just love it, what do you guys think? (A bigger version will be on my polyvore later.)

Bella

"Hey, wait," Edward said as I was about to climb out of his car.

We had just finished eating our celebration IHOP and I was exhausted, not to mention stuffed to the brim. I cursed the fact that I was always so eager to take on a challenge.

"What's up?" I asked.

"So, I was wondering if you were doing anything tomorrow night?"

My breath got stuck in my throat. Was Edward asking me out on a date? I bit my lip to contain my smile.

"No," I said. "I'll just be lounging around."

"Oh, cool," he said. "My parents are having a family dinner and they wanted me to invite you."

And my hopes were crushed.

Ouch.

"Oh..."

"You don't have to go if you don't want too," he said. "My mother is just...she really wants to meet you."

"I don't want to impose," I said after I recovered from my disappointment.

Okay, well, I wouldn't exactly say recovered since I was definitely going to mope about it later but...yeah...

"No, you won't be," he said. "Jake and Jasper come, so does Leah and whatever girl Jasper thinks he's in love with this week..."

I laughed, "You sure?"

"I insist," he said. "I'll pick you up at five thirty tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll be ready."

Edward nodded, "Goodnight, Bella."

"Good...wait, what should I wear?" I asked with wide eyes.

"Whatever you want," he shrugged.

"But is it formal? Should I wear something dressy or what? You gotta help me out here."

Edward laughed, "Comfortable but semi-formal, I guess."

"Okay," I said. "Thanks, I'll be ready at five."

"Okay, goodnight."

"Goodnight," I climbed out of his car and headed to the door of my apartment. Edward waited until I had it unlocked before he drove away.

I moped my way up the stairs, yes you heard me right. I dragged my pouting ass up to stairs and into my apartment.

I don't know why I was so depressed that Edward wasn't asking me on a date. I mean, sure he's nice, funny, sexy...Damn, he's really good looking. But look aren't everything! Too bad, Edward has everything that I look for in a guy...plus extras that I wouldn't think to look for.

I got to get over my crush if I wanted this band thing to work out.

"We weren't doing anything!"

"Wow," I laughed. "You so were doing something."

Honestly, I didn't notice it but Angela's guilty face and Ben's embaressed one spoke volumes.

"No sexy time in the living room," I said, heading into the kitchen.

"We weren't exactly doing that," Angela giggled.

"Ugh, gross Angela,"

"What? I don't mind sharing the dirty details," she huffed. "Unlike somebody!"

"Angela," Ben hissed.

I didn't have to be in the room to know he'd rather be swallowed up by the floor then be where he was in that moment.

After chucking my leftover pancakes into the fridge, I grabbed a water and headed toward my room.

"Seriously, move the party to the bedroom," I said as I hovered in my bedroom door. "Oh and Ang?"

"Hmm?" she asked.

"Arizona Ice tea can," I snickered.

Her mouth fell open in shock. She knew instantly what, or rather whom, I was referring too.

"Shut the fuck up!"

I laughed and shut the door.

"We have to talk! Like now, girlie. I want more deets."

"I'm tired, goodnight."

I face planted in my bed after kicking those death traps off.

Ah, it's good to be home.

The next day, Sunday, my dad surprised me at my apartment. I guess he had come down with Sue to visit both me and her kids.

By the way, Seth and Leah, the two that owned Clearwater's, were Sue's kids. Small world, eh?

Of course when they arrived, I was still dead to the world.

My dad woke me up tickling me, just like he use to when I was a kid. And just like when I was a kid, I kicked him repeatedly...they weren't hard kicks, don't worry.

When I tried to snuggle back under my covers, he dragged me from bed by my leg.

"You're such a butt, Dad," I grumbled from my spot on my floor.

"We haven't seen each other much, kiddo," he said. "Get dressed so I can take my favorite ladies out to breakfast."

"Fine, fine," I yawned. "Just give me a couple minutes."

Dad left to badger Angela.

I threw on a pair of jeans and my runaways t-shirt before slipping my shoes on and throwing my hair up into a ponytail.

My dad had dropped Sue off at Leah and Seth's apartment so we drove together to the restaurant. Of course, it was none other than the IHOP I had visited last night with the guys.

But you can't go wrong with IHOP, no matter how many times you eat there.

I stuck with the crepes instead of the endless pancake platter and ordered two cups of coffee. I definitely need a boost.

"So, Bella, how is the band thing working out for you?" Dad asked

"Um, it's good," I said, smiling. "We played at Eclipse last night."

"No way," Leah said. "Why didn't Jake tell me?"

"It's been a crazy couple of weeks," I defended. "They've been so wrapped up in practicing...it was crazy. I just about lost my voice."

Leah sighed, "When will they realize that you sound great? You could probably get away with practicing once and still rock the house."

I nodded.

"So, how did you do?" Sue asked.

"Great," I said. "Aro wants us to come back the weekend after next."

"That's great!" Seth said. "I heard a lot of music people frequent there."

"Yeah," I said. "I'm excited to see what happens."

I'm not going to get my hopes up too high though.

"How's life at the bar?" I asked.

"Crazy good," Leah said. "Business is booming because of you guys, they always want to come down and now other bands are asking for spots, which is drawing in an even bigger crowd...It's great."

"We were thinking about expending," Seth said. "The place next to us is closing down."

"I think that's a great idea," I said. "You're gonna need more space soon."

Leah nodded, "That's what I was thinking. I hate having to turn people away cause we're full."

Hanging out with Leah, Seth, my dad and Sue was fun. I couldn't help but stare at my Dad and Sue and watch them interact. You could tell that they were in love and that made me so happy.

Now if only I could find something like that.

When it was time to part ways, I hugged my dad super tight and said goodbye to the others. I would see Seth and Leah sometime during this week, and if not during the week then definitely this weekend when we had another gig at Clearwater's.

I almost forgot about my dinner with Edward's parents but thankfully, I had time. I had about four hours before I needed to start getting ready and stressing over what to wear, so I took a nap.

Don't worry, I set my alarm.

It went off around four thirty. Okay, no that's when I finally heard it going off.

Note to self, don't set the alarm on your phone and then fall asleep on top of it.

Not a good idea.

I fell out of bed and rushed to the bathroom to get myself ready.

Thankfully, I wasn't one of those girls who took an hour to get ready. I combed through my already straight hair, brushed my teeth, and threw on a white and black strapless dress.

I then added some eyeliner and debated if I wanted to put lip-gloss on.

The doorbell ringing made me decide against it. I grabbed my shoes, my coat, and raced down to the door.

"I'm ready!" I panted.

"You okay?" Edward asked, amused.

"Yeah, I just...slept on my alarm so I didn't hear it until ten minutes ago."

"I see," he said.

"Here hold this," I handed my jacket to Edward and pulled on my black pumps. "Okay, now I'm ready."

"You look beautiful," he said.

"Thanks," I swooned.

God, what is wrong with me?

I'm pathetic.

Eh, I bet you already knew that.

We met up with the rest of the guys and Edward's parents at Mistral Kitchen. I've never heard of this place before but Edward says it's pretty good so I'll take his word on it.

"So, before you meet my mom..." Edward started as we parked. "She's a little...outgoing."

I laughed, "You act like that's a problem."

"Is that Bella!" I heard someone yell.

"Sometimes it is," Edward said, seriously.

I turned around just as a short woman with caramel hair and bright green eyes stopped in front of me. "Hi, sweetie."

She reached up to cradle my face between her hands.

"You're just gorgeous."

"Mom," Edward groaned.

"Oh, hush." she let me go. "I'm Esme Cullen."

"I'm Bella Swan."

"I know," she said. "I've heard so much about you. The boys don't ever stop, especially Edward."

"Mom," he groaned again.

She rolled her eyes, "He's embarrassed of me."

I didn't know why either. I love her already.

"He never brings his girlfriends around so it's great to finally meet you."

"Oh, I'm not...we're not..."

"She's just a friend mom," Edward corrected. "I told you this."

"You said girlfriend," she said, smirking.

"I said she was a girl...who was also a friend."

"You mumble," she said. "That's your problem. Speak clearly next time."

I snickered and Edward shot me a glare.

"Come, the others are already seated." she said. "I was just too impatient to wait to meet you."

"Told you," Edward whispered in my ear as he escorted me into the restaurant.

"She's great," I said. "I'm already in love with her."

Edward smiled, he looked really happy about that.

But why?

Dinner with his parents was great. His father, Carlisle, was completely different than Esme. He was quiet, more reserved, and Balanced out Esme's personality nicely.

They were definitely made for each other.

"So, Bella, tell us about yourself." Esme said, suddenly.

"Um...what do you want to know?"

"How old are you?"

"Twenty one," I said.

"When's your birthday?" Esme asked.

"September 13th." I said. "I'll be twenty two in a month and a half."

"Are you still in school? What are you majoring in?"

She had lot of questions for me and I answered as best as I could. I could tell that I was making a good impression and I was happy about that.

Since I was know a part of the band, I'd probably cross her path a bunch more times in the future.

"Are you single?"

"Really, mom?" Edward asked. "What's with the all the questions?"

"I'm just trying to get to know her better."

"It's okay," I said. "Yeah, I'm single."

"Do you want to get married?"

"Sure, one day," I said, shrugging.

"And what about kids?" she asked.

"I see myself having kids," I said. "Again someday in the future."

The Spanish inquisition continued well through dinner and desert but I didn't mind. It was nice having someone so interested in what I was saying.

I mentioned that time would skip but I try to make it flow, I really do. All this was added as an after thought after I prewrote 'famous' chapters. (This is probably the fastest I've ever written something. I wrote everything in one day/night.)

Bella's outfits are posted on Polyvore.

Also, I have about nineteen chapters of this story prewritten so far, I wrote this story in a day. At first, I had a drabble in mind but I kept going over so I just thought I'd do short chapters and update almost everyday.

REVIEW PLEASE.
