BB - Brady Bonding

BPOV

"Ms. Black, Jared just stole my set of crayons, I told him not to but he took it!" Charlotte said with a quivering lip, she was on the brink of tears.

Jared was one of the little trouble makers, always stealing the other students things. Of course, I had a soft spot for Alice's daughter so her little face broke my heart more than it should if it were any other student.

"Ok, Charlotte lets go and see Jared." I held her hand and we walked over to Jared who was sitting in his seat coloring in.

I knelt down beside his seat with Charlotte by my side. "Hey there, Jared." He ignored me as he continued on with his coloring in.

"Jared, can I ask you where you got those crayons from?" He looked up at me then, then at Charlotte.

"I found them Ms. Black."

"Well, Charlotte says that you took them from her." He looked over at Charlotte angrily as he wasn't impressed she had dobbed him in.

"There were none left and I wanted to color in so I took them off her. BIG DEAL, she can find something else to do." He said with attitude. Charlotte burst into tears so I quickly wrapped an arm around her in comfort. As her teacher I wasn't really allowed to do anything more. Jared had problems with his anger which I needed to have to ask his parents about. It needed to be taken care of.

I came to speak but the school bell rang signaling the end of the day. I stood up and waited for it to stop before I spoke.

"Ok, everyone could you please pack everything away and get ready for your parents to pick you up." I hollered before kneeling back down drawing my attention back to Jared and Charlotte.

"Jared, please we are just talking here. I have explained to you many times that it is important to share. If you needed some crayons all you had to do was ask."

"NOOO!" He screamed at me, he was angrily gashing his crayon across the page by now.

Children had started filing out with their parents.

"Jared, you do not raise your voice at me otherwise I will send you to the principal's office you understand?" He looked at me unimpressed but nodded.

"Now, I need you to apologize to Charlotte." I noticed Edward leaning against the door looking a little concerned at Charlotte's tears. I smiled reassuringly at him before focusing on Jared again.

"Sorry I stole your crayons Charlotte."

"Thank you Jared for that apology. Now I don't want to have this situation occur again, do you understand?" I said raising my eyebrows at him.

"Yes, Ms. Black."

"Ok, now pack up your things please, your parents will be here soon."

Jared's mother walked in just then, so I called Edward over to Charlotte so I could have a private talk with Jared's mother. I explained to her what had happened and that it was an occurring issue with his behavior. She assured me that her and her husband would take care of the issue accordingly.

Once she had left I walked over to Edward and Charlotte who were packing up her things.

"She's ok now." He assured me as he caught me looking over at Charlotte worriedly.

"I know, I just hate to see her cry. And that Jared kid….argh….it's not the first time he has made a student cry. I swear this is the last straw with him, if his parents aren't going to do much about it, I'm going to need to talk to the principal."

Edward rubbed soothing circles into my back as I spoke. I looked over at him and smiled, he was just perfect always knowing what to do to make me feel better.

Charlotte was holding on to Edward's leg, she wasn't crying anymore she just needed time to get over it.

"She's very sensitive." Edward whispered to me so she wouldn't hear. I nodded and knelt down to her.

"Hey there beautiful, you okay now?" She nodded.

"Whenever you have a problem just let me know ok? I'm your friend as well as your teacher so if there is anything that you're not comfortable with or anyone says or does anything to hurt you just tell me."

She nodded again but smiled this time.

"MUUUUUMMMY!" I stood up, startled by Brady's outburst as he came running into the room and crashed into my leg, hugging me tight.

I crouched down to his level and gave him a big hug. "Hi sweetie, oh, what's that in your hand?" I asked looking at a piece of paper in his hand. He held it up for me to look at, it was a painting.

"It's you mummy!" He said proudly. I looked like an alien, all green with no ears but so cute.

"Whoa! You did a great job Brady. It's as beautiful as your mother." Edward said kneeling down beside me in front of Brady. Brady looked at his painting again and then giggled. Then he seemed thoughtful.

"You think mummy is pretty too? So do I!" His eyes lit up with excitement. I pulled him in for a hug, that was probably one of the sweetest things I had ever heard him say.

"Well then Brady, that's one thing we have in common." Brady high fived Edward before he ran off to join Peter and Charlotte who were looking at the crafts hanging on the wall.

We both stood up, Edward looked at me with a big grin stretched across his face. "You're actually blushing Bella. You can't even take a compliment from your own son." He said as he caressed my cheek. I leaned into his hand loving his touch. I was missing being close to him so much. I had to pull away quickly remembering Brady.

"Hey baby, I was wondering if maybe we could take Brady somewhere this afternoon. Just the three of us, I really want him to warm to me a little and get him used to seeing us together more."

It had been two weeks since Brady walked in on us that morning. Edward had spent those two weeks either picking up or dropping off the kids in effort to see me, but wouldn't take it further than that. We wouldn't show any affection to one another other than friendly gestures in front of Brady.

"Sure sounds great!"

"Hey my bro! Fancy seeing you here!" Emmett's voice boomed through the room as he walked over to me and Edward.

"Hey Emmett!" He gave me one of his big bear hugs that I loved because they always made me feel better. He pulled back and turned to Edward.

"If I didn't know any better I'd think you were one of her students cos you're always here." He burst out into laughter at his own joke. Edward just playfully hit him on the arm trying not to laugh at his joke.

"Are you here to take Charlotte and Peter?" Edward asked trying to change the subject.

"Yes as a matter of fact I am. Rose and I are heading to Jasper and Alice's place for dinner tonight anyway. Why don't you guys join us?" I looked over at Edward, I wasn't sure what he had planned.

"We will let you know Emmett, thanks. Bella and I have to get going, we are taking Brady out for the afternoon."

"Oh, yeah the whole bonding thing I get it. Bella you have nothing to worry about, this guy is great with kids, why do you think Peter and Charlotte adore him so much?"

"I know, that's why I lo……." I froze and quickly looked down at my feet.

Shit…good going Bella, almost slipped with the L word just then.

Thankfully neither of them seemed to have noticed as they had both turned their attention to Peter and Brady who were laughing hysterically chasing each other around the room. I let out a breath I didn't know I had been holding at the relief that Edward hadn't realized what I was going to say.

"Hey, hey boys, please, no running in the classrooms." I yelled out to them, they stopped immediately but continued laughing both trying to catch their breaths.

"You ready to go?" Edward asked turning to me.

"Sure."

We all headed off, promising Emmett we would try our best to meet him at Alice's and Jasper's for dinner.

"This is a nice car Edward." I glanced over at Brady, he was gazing around the car, taking in every little detail, such a cute kid. I offered to take Brady with me in the car as Bella remembered she had to fax a few things before she left. She said she would follow us as soon as she finished up. I figured it would give me some bonding time one on one.

"Thank you Brady. You like cars?" I asked. His face lit up.

"I love cars! My room has cars everywhere. Mummy says that Daddy loved cars too. He was a mekankik."

I chuckled, "You mean mechanic?" He giggled at himself and nodded.

"I'm sure your Dad would have been very happy to know that you share his love for cars." He looked up at me, a sad smile forming across his little face.

"Mummy says that I look just like him too. He decorated my room with all car toys and furniture."

I nodded keeping my eyes on the road in front of me. I wasn't sure how much of his Dad I should mention, I didn't want to accidently say something that might upset him.

"You know Port Angeles has a car show. I will take you when it comes to town, you will love it." I was hoping I didn't sound like I was trying to replace his father, I was just hoping that he would understand that I could share his love for cars too.

"Great! That would be awesome!" He said almost bouncing in his seat with excitement. I pulled into the nearest parking space. I decided to bring him to the park just to throw a ball around, I loved sports and I was just hoping I could get Brady to enjoy some play time with me.

I walked over to Brady's side and let him out.

"Would it be ok with your mum if we got some ice cream?" I asked him. He shrugged his shoulders.

"I don't know, she doesn't normally let me eat things like that before dinner." His face suddenly lit up. "How about we buy her some as well, that way she can't be mad!" I had to laugh, I loved his little way of thinking.

"Ok, sounds like a plan."

We made our way to a little ice cream store that was situated across the road from the park, we walked inside and were confronted by a counter display filled with about 20 different flavors of ice cream.

"Do you know what you want?" I asked him, scanning the variety in front of me.

"I want cookies and cream. No, I want chocolate. No wait, wait, I want rocky road." I chuckled and looked over at him. He had his palms pressed against the glass as he looked over all the different flavors. I gave him another minute before I asked him again.

"Rocky road, positive?" He nodded quickly.

"Ok then." I ordered his rocky road and ordered a choc mint for myself.

"Do you know what your mum likes?" I asked him as I watched the teenage boy behind the counter scoop out our flavors.

"Ummmm…..I don't know, she likes anything with chocolate. How about choc fudge?"

"Ok, choc fudge it is."

We got our ice creams and made our way back to the park. I saw Bella parking her car next to mine.

"Here Brady, why don't you give her her ice cream, so that way she won't be mad you're eating one before dinner." He grinned back at me, already having ice cream dripping down the sides of his mouth. I internally chuckled at the sight. He was such a cute kid.

We approached Bella and Brady practically ran over to her almost dropping her ice cream.

"Look what Edward got me!" He said looking up at his mum with his grin still in place. Bella looked over at me raising an eye brow.

"Ice cream? Well, I hope you will still want dinner after that." She said looking down at Brady. The kid immediately held out her ice cream almost smothering it into her shirt. Bella took a quick step back just avoiding the mess by an inch.

"We got you some too!" He said almost too eagerly. I watched as Bella shook her head at me and chuckled.

"Well thank you so much, both of you. And you got me choc fudge just how I like it."

I'd like to see just exactly how you like it.

Get a grip Cullen.

I grabbed a picnic blanket and we found a place in the park where Bella and I sat side by side and enjoyed our ice creams. Brady finished his before we even made it to our spot to sit. He ran off to play on the equipment leaving Bella and I alone.

"You didn't have to do that." She said licking her ice cream. I couldn't help but notice how her tongue licked up that ice cream, it was so fucking sexy.

"I thought he might like some ice cream. It was his idea to get you some so you wouldn't be mad." I said chuckling.

"Yeah he tends to know how to work me. He can be real cheeky at times."

We sat in silence as we continued to eat our ice creams. I finished mine before her, leaving me to do nothing but watch her lick it away. She caught me….every time.

"This is turning you on isn't it?" She said smirking at me.

"Just a little." I admitted, giving her my crooked smile, I knew she loved it.

I continued to stare at her and she continued smirking at me and blushing. It stayed that way till she finished the ice cream.

About time, it was becoming too much.

"I know this may be hard for you Edward. It means so much to me. You don't have to go through all this, no one should have to go through all this."

I looked over at her a little stunned by her words. How could she think I wouldn't want this?

"Bella," I grabbed her hand and held it in mine, locking my eyes with hers, "I need you to understand this, I want you and I will do anything I have to in order to make this work."

She nodded smiling at me weakly. I knew she didn't truly believe it. I turned my body around so that I was facing her.

"What's wrong?" I asked, I knew there was something more to this.

"I don't know. I just feel like you can't be meant for me, I know I keep saying that but I have a hard time believing someone like you wants to be with someone like me, who would want to go through all this in a relationship?"

I felt my breathing pick up, I was becoming a little pissed off at her words, I didn't want her thinking that, I wanted her more than anything in this world. I just didn't know how to make her believe it.

"Bella, look at me." She turned to look at me trying hard to smile.

"What do I need to do to make you believe that I want you? I want you Bella, more than anything in this world, please don't ever think other wise." I was pleading by then, searching her eyes for any sign of acknowledgement. She nodded.

"Ok" Was all she said. I looked over at Brady and found him digging up something in the dirt. I took it as my chance and pulled her in for a hug, I had to, hoping Brady would keep his focus on whatever it was he was digging out. She wrapped her arms around me tight and I held her there, wanting to hold her like that forever. I pulled away and glanced back at Brady, he was on the slide now, no sign that he had witnessed our hug.

She smiled at me and then leaned in to give me a kiss on the cheek.

"I want you more than anything too, I really do. I never expected to feel this way about anyone other than Jake." I tried not to read too much into her words. Was she saying she loved me? I decided to not read too much into it. I didn't want to get my hopes up.

Brady came running back to us, holding out a worm. Bella squealed and got up quickly to get away from it as the worm wiggled in his fingers. I had to laugh, her squeal was just the cutest thing I had ever heard.

"What are you doing with a worm?" I asked him still trying to hold back my laughter.

"I want to take it home for a pet. They don't require much care mummy." He said looking over at his scared mum.

"I absolutely hate worms, and there is no way that is coming home with us. I don't care how easy it is to take care of. Go put it back and get it away from here." She was looking at the ground, I'm sure avoiding to look at the worm.

"Hey, little Brady, how bout you put that back and we play a little game of baseball? Have you ever played baseball before?" I asked.

He shook his head moving the worm around in his hands.

"Would you like to give it try? It's one of Peter's favorite sports." He nodded excitedly.

"Ok, go put the worm back and wash your hands over there by that tap. I'll go grab the bat and baseball."

He ran back to the patch of dirt that he had picked up the worm from. I turned to Bella and chuckled. "You are adorable when you freak out like that." I said moving close to her.

"I cannot stand worms or any creepy crawly things. I just can't." I had to break myself away before I grabbed her in for a passionate kiss, I was finding it real hard to keep my distance from her.

I jogged over to the car and grabbed my bat and ball out of the boot. I ran back and found Brady waiting for me.

Bella sat herself comfortably on the blanket ready to watch us. She gave me one of her beautiful smiles that just made my heart flutter.

"Alright, come on little guy, lets give this thing a go." I led him out to the middle of the park. I showed him how to swing the bat properly, he seemed to be natural at it, he was still a little young, but seemed to get the main gist of it. We continued practicing for about fifteen minutes.

"I want to hit the ball now!" He started jumping up and down excitedly, pleading with his eyes.

I stood a few feet away from him, slowly throwing the ball, just needing him to get his eye hand coordination right. He swung about 15 times, missing every ball.

"Is your hand tired little buddy? Do you want to stop?" He shook his head at me. I thought he would have been tired from all the swinging, the bat is quite heavy.

"Ok, well here goes another one." I took another few steps back leaving about 14 feet between us now. I threw the next ball and to my surprise he hit it, it came back flying towards me, knocking me with force in the gut.

"SHIT!" I clutched my stomach, it wasn't too bad, he was only a little kid, but because I was quite close to him it still hurt. Brady stood there stunned, staring back at me.

"Edward, are you ok?" Bella came running up to me. She placed her hands on my shoulders trying to straighten me up. I nodded, just waiting for the pain to subside a little.

"I'm really sorry Edward." Brady said, his voice was soft, I could tell he felt bad.

"Its ok kid…..I'll be fine. It's not your fault anyway…..I shouldn't have been standing so close." I tried to say in between breaths.

"Edward, baby, please, come sit down." I straightened up and tried to pretend like I was fine, just for both their sakes. I followed Bella and Brady back to the blanket where we sat down.

"I'm sorry Edward." Brady said again. I grabbed him by the hand and pulled him over to me.

"Its not your fault remember? I was silly for standing so close, I was trying to make it easy for you to hit the ball." I chuckled, the pain had started to wear off a little.

Bella sat beside me rubbing circles into my back, I wasn't sure what Brady was going to think but he didn't seem to mind.

"You said a bad word." Bella and I looked over at Brady. What did I say?

"Excuse me?" I asked innocently.

"When I hit you, you said the 'S' word. Mummy says that is a bad word." I had to hold in a chuckle, I looked over at Bella and I could tell she was fighting back a smile too. I hadn't realized I said it, lucky I didn't say anything worse.

"Yes my Brady, he did. I guess I will have to punish him for that later." She winked at me and gave me her cheeky smile. Would it be wrong to say my dick twitched at her comment?

I smiled back at her, I loved her playful side, anything could make her blush but when this naughty confident Bella comes out, she was a different person.

"Brady, sweetie why don't you go and play on the equipment for a second while Edward tries to feel better." He nodded and ran off. I turned my gazed to Bella, giving her my signature crooked smile.

"So, I'm in for punishment huh? Now what would that entail?" I asked.

She let out a little giggle before answering me, "I don't know yet, you'll just have to wait and see." I wanted to kiss her, I wanted to throw her back onto that blanket and make love to her for hours. I took a deep breath and tried to steer my mind off sex for at least a few minutes.

"He is a great kid Bella. He has such a gentle heart on him." I watched Brady go up the ladder and down the slide, it hurt me thinking about him not having a father. Little boys always need that father figure.

She chuckled, "Just like his father, Jake used to always go out of his way for others."

I just nodded. I didn't know what to say.

"How are you feeling, that was quite a hit."

"I'm ok….now." I looked over at her, she smiled back at me looking into my eyes. She was so beautiful.

"It's getting a little cold do you want to get going" I asked her. She nodded. We called Brady over and headed back to our cars.

"Would you like to come to Alice's and Jasper's for dinner?" I asked her, I was hoping she would agree, it would give me some time with her.

"Ok, as long as Brady and I aren't intruding."

"You are a part of our family now beautiful." Her eyes lit up. She smiled happily at me and I could tell that meant a lot to her

BPOV

We headed over to Alice and Jasper's house, Brady riding with Edward. He wanted to and I was happy that he seemed to be warming to Edward.

We arrived and I felt bad for not getting them anything, but it was a last minute invite so it didn't really give me anytime to buy anything.

The three of us walked up to the door and knocked. Jasper answered.

Hi guys! Nice to see you could make it, please come in." I hugged Jasper hello and followed Edward's lead into the house. Brady stopped me.

"Mummy, can I go find Peter please?" He asked hopeful.

"Sure sweetie, go ahead." He ran off outside, Peter and Charlotte were playing on a swing.

I greeted Alice and Rosalie who were in the kitchen preparing the food.

"Yay! You came. I was going to call you and make sure that you were coming." Alice said as she resumed her task of chopping up some onion.

"Oh, thanks Alice, it's so nice of you to invite Brady and me over for dinner, really."

"Don't be silly Bella, we love having you over."

Edward walked into the kitchen and stood beside me.

"Hey Alice, do you mind if I steal Bella away for a few minutes?" I looked over at him and he had a little cheeky smile in place.

"Sure, you two go ahead, we are almost done here."

Edward grabbed my hand and led me to the stairs where we ran into Emmett.

"Hey Emmett." I greeted him.

"Hey you guys, where you going?" He asked questioningly looking back and forth between me and Edward.

"Ahh……Just wanted to show Bella something real quick." Edward answered sounding a little nervous, he squeezed my hand.

"What's upstairs to show her? It's just the bedrooms? Unless…." I think Emmett knew what was going on because he was smirking as he watched Edward squirm next to me.

"Can we just go Emmett?" Edward asked sounding a little annoyed. Emmett laughed out loud staring straight at Edward.

"Ok, Eddie, you go show her that something." He cleared his throat as he held in more laughter.

Edward pulled me by the hand and directed me upstairs.

"Sorry about him, he can be a real pain in the ass sometimes." He whispered as we walked down the hall.

"Ok, so where are you taking me?" I asked. He opened the bathroom door pulling me inside before closing the door behind us.

He pulled me against his chest with his crooked smile in place. His bronze hair was all disheveled; he looked so sexy and naughty.

"Just stealing you away for a bit." He answered piercing his emerald eyes into mine. "Can I kiss you Bella? It's been way too long?" He asked swallowing.

I nodded because I knew I wouldn't be able to talk. He leaned in closer, slowly, his eyes on my lips, my eyes fluttered closed, waiting for his lips, I had wanted to kiss him for so long.

His lips came to mine softly, moving against mine in sync, I fisted my hands into his hair pulling him closer, I longed for his touch, I wanted him more than anything. His hands rested against my hips, rubbing me against him. I licked his bottom lip, I wanted more of him and his tongue met mine battling for dominance. He tilted his head, deepening the kiss as I moaned into his mouth. I loved kissing him, it felt so good, it felt so right.

He pushed me up against the door, kissing me harder, wanting and needing me more. We continued like that for a while, panting against each other as we continued to moan into one another's mouth in pleasure. His hands rubbed up and down my sides as I pulled him incredibly further into my mouth.

I pulled him away and smiled evilly at him.

"What?" he asked out of breath.

I let my hand drop to the crotch of his pants where I rubbed him up and down.

"Just your punishment." I watched as his eyes rolled into the back of his head.

"Bella…….oh…fuck. You know I can't handle much more of this." He crushed his lips to mine in a searing kiss. His tongue roamed my mouth, tasting every bit of me, I rubbed my legs together for friction, I was enjoying this too much. I grabbed him by the collar and pulled him deeper into my mouth.

Then the door knocked.

"Hey, love birds. Dinner is ready." We pulled away, Edward resting his forehead on my shoulder in frustration. He cleared his throat before he spoke.

"We will be right out." He called out to Emmett. I heard Emmett chuckle before I heard his footsteps make it back down the hall. Edward looked me in the eyes, they were hooded and I knew he didn't want to stop. He smiled his crooked smile at me.

"I feel like two teenagers sneaking away to make out." I chuckled.

"We are, minus the teenage part." He smiled. "I want you so bad Bella. I need to have you alone, all to myself, no interruptions." He kissed me again on the lips.

"I know, how bout we go on a date, Brady could have a sleep over at Alice's. We could have a night all to ourselves." I said winking to him. I was ready to go all the way. His eyes lit up.

"Really?" I nodded blushing.

"How about this Saturday then?" He asked.

"Sounds perfect."

He thrust me against his hips, his prominent erection rubbing against me. He pierced his green eyes into mine.

"See what you do to me Bella?" I blushed even more. I loved having that effect on him.

"We should get going before they all come looking for us again." I said pushing away from him. It was taking everything in me to leave him. He nodded.

I looked over at him and laughed.

"What?" He asked.

"You might need to adjust your clothes. I seemed to have gotten a little carried away." I chuckled. His shirt was a little twisted and his hair was a mess, more than the usual.

He went to the mirror and started readjusting his clothing. He looked down at himself.

"Ah…Bella? You might to beat me down there, I have a little problem, well more like a big problem," he winked at me, "down south. So I need time to calm down otherwise my pants are going to be screaming 'WE JUST MADE OUT EVERYONE'." I laughed out loud.

"Ok, take your time." I opened the door and headed downstairs.

I took a deep breath before walking into the living room. Everyone was already seated and I was confronted with four pairs of eyes staring directly at me, each and every one of them fighting back a smirk.

I felt my blush make its way to my face as I looked down at my feet and walked over to the table and took a seat. I was just going to avoid their gazes as best I could.

"Nice of you to join us." Alice giggled. I just smiled keeping my head down.

"Where's Edward?" Emmett asked with humor in his voice.

"He'll be down in a minute." I thought it would be best to just avoid the question.

We sat in silence and I could feel Emmett dying to say more but from the corner of my eye I could see Rosalie nudging him to keep quiet.

As Jasper was pouring us all some wine, Edward came walking into the room. Like they did with me, all four pairs of eyes focused on him. Edward cleared his throat as he sat down, clearly uncomfortable.

"What took you so long bro?" Emmett teased. "I always took you for the two minute kind a man." I almost choked on my wine, making it obvious for everyone to notice. Edward's head snapped up to Emmett, I looked over at Edward and he looked pissed.

Really pissed.

"Can I talk to you Emmett please?" Edward said pushing his chair back and standing up. He was speaking through clenched teeth.

"Shoot." Emmett answered staying seated.

"In private?" Edward made clear, locking his eyes on Emmett. Emmett groaned and got up, following Edward out of the room. Everyone was silent and I was blushing profusely. I hated that everyone knew, we really needed to find some time alone.

"So…." Alice said trying to ease the tension.

"Excuse me." Jasper said trying to hold back his laughter as he walked out of the room. I looked over at Rosalie and Alice and they were both staring at me, smirks clear on their faces.

"We didn't do anything." I said too softly, I wasn't even sure they heard.

"Define 'anything'?" Rosalie teased. I looked down at my plate, how embarrassing, I felt like a teenager all over again, who was being confronted by her parents.

"Can we not talk about this, it's really uncomfortable." They both nodded. But it didn't keep Alice quiet.

"Sorry Bella, we just love teasing our little brother, it's good to see him back in the game. Emmett's a joker, don't take it personally."

"I know. Where are the kids?" I asked hoping that would steer their focus off me.

"They're outside, I'll go call them in." She went outside and called the kids in to sit down for dinner at their little table she had set out for them.

The boys came walking back in, Emmett looked a little upset and Edward seemed more relaxed than he had before. Jasper walked in smiling. Edward must really have hammered into Emmett.

We served up our dinner and ate talking comfortably with one another. No mention of our little 'sneaky disappearance", which kept me happy.

I explained to them what happened at school with Charlotte and how I was going to take care of Jared and make sure nothing like that happened again. Alice and Jasper didn't seem too concerned considering he didn't really personally offend her and trusted me enough to make sure I would keep an eye on things.

We finished up dinner and I helped Alice and Rosalie clear up and clean up. I invited Alice and Rosalie over for dinner with the boys for the following weekend. I had been meaning to do it but never seemed to find the time. They both agreed happily.

Considering it was a school night I decided to head off so Brady could get some sleep. I said my goodbyes, giving Emmett a little playful punch in the arm for teasing Edward, I thought I broke my knuckles he was as hard as a rock. I made a note never to hit him again.

Edward walked me out to the car and gave me a quick kiss on the cheek before Brady could notice, who was already seated in the car.

I drove away with a grin on my face. I couldn't wait for my date with Edward on Saturday.


Tried to keep this fun, hope you enjoyed it!!

Please Review, i love reading them more than anything!!!
