A/N AS EVERYBODY KNOW SO FAR I AM NOT STEPHANIE MEYER I JUST PLAY WITH HER CHARACTERS.

10. SURPRISES

"Bella I met a very wonderful person at work and I invited her and her family for dinner I hope you don't mind" Sue said as I was sitting at the couch.

"That means that I have to dress up?" I asked

"No Bella, just be there and be kind" my dad answered

"Ok ok when are they coming?" I asked ignoring Charlie.

"They will be here in a few. They live across the hall and you know, they have a kid at your age and one older than you. You could hang out with them" Sue said softly. She felt guilty that we left Forks and my friends behind.

"They are boys aren't they?" Charlie asked and looked at Sue.

My dad didn't know anything about boyfriends and stuff; they were things that I was talking to my mother. My dad was in the dark and for him I was his little, innocent girl and I wasn't planning to change his mind.

"Yes both of them" Sue answered confused and then she frowned "Charlie she already has boyfriends.

"Garrett and Eleazar are from Forks and I know them for years" he said fully ignoring now the TV

"Well she is sixteen"

"And she has to have a boy?"

"Hey guys I am right here!" I interrupted. "First of all, Sue thank you very much for your concern but I already have friends I don't need more and second, dad I am sixteen if I want a boyfriend I will have one" I said serious.

He was ready to argue but fortunately someone knocked the door and Sue went to open and soon we heard voices to fill our apartment.

"Let me introduce you to my family" I heard Sue and she walked inside with a woman.

She was really pretty the woman who walked inside. Her hair was a light brown color and reached her shoulders. She had a big smile and a pair of honey brown eyes and she was holding a bottle of wine.
"Esme let me introduce you my husband Charlie Swan and his daughter Isabella" Sue said smiling.

"Bella" I said quietly and shook Esme's hand. I wasn't used to be open with strangers but something on her face made me to feel like I knew her for years.

"Nice to meet you" she said smiling softly.

When her husband walked inside I felt like my mouth hit the floor. He was handsome. He was blonde with deep brown eyes and a great body. Seriously if THAT was my neighbor I was going to LOVE New York.

"Sue you met Carlisle, right?" Esme asked as his arm wrapped around her waist and he nodded to us smiling.

"Nice to meet you" he said softly

"Yeah" I agreed and I blushed immediately realizing that I was ogling him with his wife next to him.

"Sorry for the delay but boys weren't ready at their time" Esme apologized the same time that a bear walked inside.

And when I am saying bear I mean it. He was tall, actually no he was REALLY tall, muscular and he seemed scary but as soon as he stood next to his father he gave us the biggest smile of all. He was blonde with blue eyes and his voice was loud.

"Nice to meet you" he said eager and shook my head adding a little too much pressure.

"Nice to meet you too" I said

"He is my older son Emmett and this is my younger son Edward" Carlisle said.

I was looking stunned as Edward Cullen walked into the living room smiling. You have to be kidding me! This was a silly dream isn't it? I mean he from all the people has to be my neighbor? I was ready to say anything rude and fight against every insult he would said to me but instead he walked in front of Sue and kissed her hand gently. He shook his hand with Charlie and when it was my turn he kissed my hand locking his eyes with mine.
"Sue my apologizes but these days we have Edward's best friend with us Jasper I hope you don't mind if he come too" Esme said looking guilty

"No of course not" Charlie answered instead.
Jasper Whitlock as he introduced himself was a tall man from Texas. His accent was sexy and the fact that he had blonde hair and piercing dark eyes made him even better. What was wrong with this family and their friends anyway?

We sat at the living room (I couldn't ignore the fact that I was sitting between him and Emmett) and I was trying hard to follow to the conversation. Instead I was dizzy by the closeness and I was resisting the desire to lean on him.

"Bella my mother said that you are at the same school with us" Edward said clearly amused by my discomfort "I didn't know it we really should hang out" he said serious.

I ignored him and I texted to Alice to call me but there wasn't an answer… weird.

After half an hour I was still trapped (but now we were eating and I was sitting again next to Edward) my friends hadn't answered to my messages and both Edward and Emmett were trying to make me talk but I was ignoring them by answering with yes, no or maybe. The oddest thing was that both Charlie and Sue kept looking at their watch.

"Oh it's midnight" Sue said excited suddenly and I looked at her horrified.

"Yeah probably you would want to rest" Esme said quickly and made a move to get up but Sue hold her hand

"No, no it's Bella's birthday" she announced happily and everybody were looking at me.

"It's no big deal" I said whispering blushing deeply.

"Happy birthday" Carlisle said smiling with Esme.

Charlie came and kissed my cheek, Jasper just wished me happy birthday but Emmett and Edward wasn't that easy. Emmett gave me a bear-like-break-bones hug even though we had met hours ago and Edward just ignored me.

"If we knew we would have brought a present" Esme said softly looking disappointed.

"Not necessary" I answered fast "I don't like it when people spend money on me" I explained.

"Well, too bad because we have already a present for you" Sue informed me and walked to the kitchen.

Everybody was moving around for unknown reasons and then I felt it… Edward was close to me and I felt his breathe at my neck. His hand was touching softly my waist.

"Happy birthday" he breathed at my ear making me shiver.

"Thank you" I murmured back.

"Bella please get up" Sue pleaded and I went to stand next to her "Charlie, bring the surprise in" she ordered.

My dad disappeared and I was told to wait. I heard him open the door and then…nothing, it was too quiet.

A moment or two passed and then four people, those four people I had missed so much jumped in front of me smiling.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY BELLA" they yelled all together and I fall into their arms screaming in happiness for a group hug. BEST BIRTHDAY PRESENT EVER.

YAY THEY ARE ALL TOGETHER AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW AND THEY WILL MEET EACH OTHER…. ARE YOU NERVOUS FOR THE REST? BE PATIENT, PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE….SEE YOUUUUUUUUUU
