AN: Finally eh? Sorry! I had exams, i've got one more to go in June, so I can update more regularly. :]

ENJOY. :]

Chapter 12

The room was covered in splatters of red and black paint, and the middle of the war path Jake's arms were wrapped around Angela's waist, Angela's arms were wrapped around Jake's neck and they were slowly kissing.

BPOV

"Whoa!" murmured Edward.

"OMG!" I screamed in a girly pitch. Jake and Angela paused, and looked our way; clearly embarrassed.

"Erm..." Jake began; I intervened as I walked over to Angela, grabbed her hand and dragged her to the bathroom.

"Erm indeed." Edward added.

"We'll be right back!" I exclaimed to the puzzle faces of Jake and Edward.

"I can explain!" Angela defended as we locked the bathroom door.

"Too right! But give me a minute..." I reached into my pocket and grabbed my phone, dialled Pixie and put the phone on loud speaker.

One ring... Two ring... "Hey Bella, Angela! About time!" I laughed.

"What?! How? Weird!" Angela exclaimed.

"Angela has something to tell us." I told Alice.

"Oo! Go ahead Angela." Alice couldn't contain her excitement.

"Well.." Angela began.

Angelas POV – Previous.

"I can't believe their making out in my kitchen Angel-poo." Jake said.

I laughed. "We should go stop them from destroying your kitchen Ass." I had just shortened Jake-ass to ass.

"Hey!" Jake shouted, jokingly; and with that flicked some red paint on my back.

"Un called for, Mr Black!" I shouted back, my face on the floor with shock. I dipped the brush into the black paint, and... revenge. I fired the brush over and covered the front of Jakes clothes. Luckily we were all wearing protective clothing.

"You really shouldn't have done that Webby." Jake returned, with that he charged at me with a freshly dipped red paintbrush. He grabbed my wrists, and held me back whilst he splatter my face with red paint. I managed to squirm out of his grip and grab his brush, and managed to paint his face a lovely red colour.

"That's when things really kicked off." I said to Alice and Bella.

I continued with my storytelling.

"As I was saying..."

Jake had an evil grin on his face, I was done for. He picked up a tin of red paint that was nearby, and in slow motion he threw the tin over me. Luckily, I manage to dodge some of it, my face was slightly covered in red paint.

"JAKE!" I screamed. "YOU'RE A DEAD MAN!" Jake ran for the exit but I managed to beat him there and blocked him, he retreated back to the freshly painted wall he had just finished. I picked up my tin of black paint, an evil look filled in my eyes.

"Angela! Please! I'm sorry!" Jake begged, but laughed.

He charged at me, grabbing the paint tin, it went over both of us. The pain was cold as it trickled down my back. We both stared at each other, covered in paint; both breaking into fits of laughter. I looked around the room, crap. The group's hard work had been destroyed in a matter of minutes.

"Jake... your room! We're dead meat." I said.

"I sorta like it. It's very... contemporary." He laughed, I laughed too.

"Angela... did I ever tell you... red brings out the colour of your eyes." That was it.

Thwack.

"What was that for!?" Jake laughed.

"You being an idiot." I beamed. "Let's go downstairs?" I asked, Jake nodded. I went to turn around but suddenly tripped over my feet, a classic Bella moment. Jake quickly reacted and caught me in his arms; I blushed, as did Jake.

"Thank you." I murdered. "Don't mention it." Jake whispered; he stood me up on my feet. I was still in his grasp, I was still embarrassed.

"We can go now..." I let out a nervous laugh. Jake titled his head, and leaned over to my ear, and whispered:

"I like you Angela."

"SMOOTH!" Alice shouted from down the phone.

"Alice! We haven't gotten to the juicy bit yet!" Bella argued.

"Anyway... where was I?" I asked, truly lost from the disruption.

"I like you Angela!!" Alice screamed.

"Oh right..." I continue to blush as I remembered what happened.

"What?" I questioned back at Jake.

"I like-like you Angela." He replied.

"Bu-" I was cut off, Jake's lips were on mine. Jake's arms remained on my waist and my arms went around his neck for support. He kissed me slowly, and I matched his movements.

"And that's when you and Edward walked in Bells." I said, annoyed.

"BELLA SWAN!" Alice joked down the phone.

"Please! Like we would have known..." Bella digged me in the arm."So what now?"

"I don't know, we didn't get much chance to talk what with being dragged in here and everything." I mocked.

"Then what are we waiting for! Get back in there!" Alice beamed.

"Later Alice!" Me and Bella said together, and we put down the phone.

EPOV

Bella had just left with Angela, probably to go tell Alice, maybe. I looked at Jake, he looked puzzled, I was puzzled too, he was a quick mover, quicker than me and Bella anyway.

"So you and Angela eh?" I teased.

"Erm... yep." He looked pleased.

"Abit quick isn't?" I continued to tease.

"Sorry? How long have you and Bella being going out – after knowing each other how long?" He mocked.

"Touché." We both laughed.

"So what's the plan big shot?" I mocked.

"Well... am I her boyfriend?" He asked. We looked at each puzzled; we had no idea about this sort of thing. I know...

"Alice!" We both said in synchronization. I got out my phone and dialled for Alice. Engaged. I knew it!

"She must be busy at home or something..." I half-lied. Alice was busy, but not at home, with Bella and Angela, interrogating.

"So what do we do?" Jake asked.

"Wait-wait...'we'? Define we?" I asked.

"Me and you." He laughed. "I'm useless, I mean... look at what happened with Bella. Even though that worked out for the best now, it still took about 5 years."

"But you've already kissed Angela." I answered, trying not to remember Jakes crush on Bella.

"And I told her I liked her, but... It's too soon isn't it?" He continued to ask questions.

"Just... talk to her." I said, encouragingly. "It's the best place to start."

Just then Bella and a cleaner Angela walked in.

"There we go, all fresh!" Bella beamed, and walked over to me. I was sat on the floor at the time, it one of the dry spots and she sat in my lap. Jake was also sat on the floor, and Angela stood awkwardly.

"This room..." Bella began. "...looks awesome."

"Agreed." said Jake. "I'm going to keep it like this I think; thank god for all the dustsheets covering the floor, otherwise my carpet wouldn't look to good."

BPOV

We all laughed. I looked around the room, the red walls had black splatters on, and the black walls had red splatters on, they had both chosen their weapons well.

"So what's the plan?" Edward asked. I looked at my watch, it was 7oclock.

"Jeez, its 7. Where's Billy and Felix?" I asked Jake.

"Billy should be coming back from work soon, and Felix is out with his mates." Jake answered.

"We best get out of Billy's way then. You and Edward can bring the bed back in once we get the sheets up." I winked at them both, they were men surely they don't mind doing heavy lifting, I mean... Emmett would do it quite easily. Edward and Jake walked out the room, groaning. I looked at Angela:

"Lucky the chest of draws, and computer desk were covered eh? Unlucky for the built in cupboard however." I laughed, and Angela rolled her eyes as we removed the dust sheets from the floor.

"He hasn't even looked at me Bella." Angela whispered.

"He's embarrassed, probably feels awkward, you need to talk it through." I replied, quietly.

"What if nothing happens Bella?" She asked, nervous.

"He said he likes you right? That's a good start Angela, just don't worry." I smiled. Just then there were shouts from outside of the room.

"GET THE DOOR! SOMEONE GET THE DOOR!" Jake screamed.

Me and Angela looked at each laughing, and ran towards the door. I grabbed the doorknob, and opened the door to find a rather red Jake and a red Edward.

"Guys... why didn't you take the mattress off?" Angela asked. Jake and Edward looked at each other puzzled.

"Damn it!" Edward exclaimed which was accompanied with more giggles from me and Angela. Trust the men to balls things up. Me and Angela stepped in, and helped them out. Jeez, it was a heavy bed.

"Mind out the way! Women coming through!" I mocked. Me and Angela let go of the bed and grabbed the mattress off. We pulled the mattress through into Jake's room and led it onto the nice clean black carpet. Jake and Edward followed in pursuit:

"Where's the bed going?" Edward asked Jake.

"Erm, where it was before." Jake said. How did they manage to get the bed out before I will not know. They place the bed down, exhausted.

"Angela do you want to help Jake fetch in his boxes?" I asked, trying to get their conversation started.

"Sure." Angela, quick Angela, realised my plan. She walked out the room followed by Jake. I went to the mattress, time to get Edward. I could easily lift the mattress but I stretch out my arms to pick it up and...

"Edward! Help! I can't lift it!" I beamed.

"Mind out the way, Edward coming through." He quoted me, not precisely, from before.

He grabbed one end, and I grabbed the other, and we carried it onto the bed. Done. I collapsed onto the bed.

"I'm so exhausted!" I used my best acting skills. "Somebody help!"

Edward led beside me, and placed one of his hands under my chin. He kissed my lips softly. I had got what I had wanted.

"Ahem." Escaped Jake's mouth. Damn him. Although, I'm sure this is how Jake and Angela had felt before. I blushed a shade of red, Edward had a grin on his face; damn him, he knew he was there.

"Please... please... please... do not make out on my bed. I mean, it was worse enough with the kitchen." Jake mocked. That was it, a crimson shade of red flashed on my face.

"Shut up!" With that, I got of the bed.

"Where is zie box with the bedding?" I questioned.

"Here it is. Well... it has bedding on it... who knows what's in the box." Angela said, she passed the box to me, and I looked around with shifty eyes, I carefully placed the box down, opened it slowly.

"Relax! It's just bedding people!" I exhaled deeply, and then joined in with the outbursts of laughter.

Thirty minutes later.

"Wow!" Jake exclaimed. "It looks awesome! Thanks a lot guys!" With that he hi-fived Edward, hugged me quite tight, paused, then hugged Angela. He was right, the room did look seriously cool. Jake couldn't put his posters up yet, because the walls were still slightly damp but everything else was super. I guess Bam will have to wait; the new red blinds were up, the bed complete with red quilt and black pillow cases also complete. Jakes desk had his laptop on, and was filled with his current schoolwork, his matching pair of shoes in a row along the wall, his CDs stocked up on the shelves along with DVDs. Just then Billy Black entered the house.

"I'm guessing from all the shoes, the smell of pizza, we have visitors Jake." Billy shouted and teased from downstairs.

"Yeah dad, my decorators!" Jake also teased, but true none the less.

Edward digged him in the arm; "I prefer designer, rather than decorator."

"Ok Edwardo, chill out." Jake laughed.

"We best be off, our parents will wonder where we are." I said. "School night and all."

"You coming Angela?" I asked.

"Erm..." She began, but was interrupted by Jake. "I can take her back, on the mean machine." He beamed.

"Fair enough, you ok with that Angela, I don't mind dropping you off." I asked, trying to annoy Jake more.

"Nope, I'll be fine thanks Bel-la." She pronounced my name into two separate words, she was obviously annoyed too. I nodded, and dragged Edward out of the room. Before I left I gave Angela the nod of; Ring me as soon as you get home! Billy was in the kitchen as we went downstairs.

"Bye Billy!" I said. "Bye Bella and friend." He glanced down at mine and Edwards hands interlocked, and gave me a look of: Does Charlie know? I quickly smiled and put on my shoes, Edward did the same, and we rushed out of the house. We got into the truck.

"So do your folks know?" Edward beamed, what he was a mind reader now? I started the engine, ignoring Edward's question.

"Oh they don't! Bella... I don't feel loved if you haven't told your parents, am I your secret?" He continued to beam, he reached for my phone off the dashboard.

"What are you doing?" I asked.

"Ringing your parents." He joked, but I couldn't take any chances.

"What? Seriously?!" I asked, nervously. Silence, he said nothing. He put my phone back on the dashboard.

"My parents don't know... I haven't got around to telling them, what with the motorcycle and stuff." I confessed, a lame excuse, I'd rather spare the boyfriend talk with Renee.

"Ah... my parents are away, so..." He confessed.

"I've just realised something, I don't know where you live. I guess I can't drop you off." I teased. He looked stunned, but then a grinned spread across his face.

"Perhaps, I'll stay with you." He also teased.

"Erm... how good are your climbing skills?" I asked, honestly. I winked out of the corner of my eye, but kept my eyes focused on the road.

"Excellent." I wonder if he had caught onto my plan.

"Fancy climbing the tree outside my house?" I asked.

"For you Bella, anything." He replied. "Just I won't have any new clothes for tomorrow."

"Maybe I will have to take you home then." I sighed. "You can get some clothes, and then we'll go back to... mine?"

"I like the sound of that plan. Perhaps I should drive to my house?" He asked.

"What? Am I not capable of taking directions?" I tried my best sulky face, but failed. How could I be angry right now, my boyfriend is stopping at my house; secretly of course.

Edward was quick. He raced inside his house, and I stayed in my truck; to minimise interrogation he insisted. He was out in under five minutes, he got into the truck and shouted: "Go go go!" He told me how Emmett had followed him around the house, asking what he was doing and that he was going to follow him when he got outside, but Alice had stopped Emmett from exiting the house.

"Am I your secret Edward?" I teased, I felt Edwards stare on me, but I remained concentrating on the road. He leant out of his seat, and grabbed the steering wheel; he then kissed me on the cheek. Thank god he was holding onto the steering wheel.

"That was dangerous." I told him... "Terrible behaviour Edward; no wonder you're in detention."

"For you." He laughed, it was true I hadn't gotten him into detention, on a few times. The first time, it was his fault, carrying me across the field of course.

"Here's the plan. I go inside, I usually eat tea but I can say I had pizza at Jakes, I'll then tell my parents I'm not feeling well, bug or something, and come upstairs. I'll open the window, then you show off with your skills." I informed. "My mum usually comes in my room around 9... so we'll have to hide you... It's now 8pm, so she might not come up, if I stay downstairs till half past? You ok waiting in the truck for half an hour." I winked, teasing.

"Sure." Edward said, he didn't look sure though.

"Edward, I'm kidding. I wouldn't leave you out in the cold, I'll open my window and you can stay in my room for half an hour."

"Thank god!" Edward replied, "Should I get into the back of the truck incase your dad is peering out the curtains?" I nodded, and stopped the car. Edward got into the back of the truck and led down and I continued driving.

This was getting weird, Charlie was peering out of the curtains. I laughed to myself, and quickly sent Edward a text. Dad, curtains - stay down. xx I got out the truck, and walked to the front door, the door was locked. Unlike Forks, we had to lock the front door here. I unlocked the door, and was greeted by a worrying mother.

"Bella! I've missed you!" I always was greeted the same, I laughed.

"Are you feeling ok?" She asked.

"I'm not feeling too well; think I've caught a bug Angela had." I coughed.

"Oh! Do you want something to eat?" She asked, concerned.

"No, we had pizza at Jakes." I said, truthfully.

Charlie walked in.

"We?" He interrogated. This was it; do I tell the truth or lie? Has Billy Black been involved?

"Yep, Me, Jake, Angela and Edward." I said, trying not to emphasise or change tone when speaking Edward's name.

Renee's eyes lit up: "Edward Cullen?"

"Yes mum." I asked, of course she knew of him. I had mentioned him on the phone when speaking to friends, she obviously had a radar and overheard.

"You're friends now?" She asked.

"Yes." I answered.

"Anything else?" Charlie added.

"Nope..." I lied.

"Erm... ok." Charlie said, wait! Billy hadn't said anything, go Billy. Charlie continued; "... Then how come Billy thinks he saw you two holding hands?" BILLY BLACK! THAT TRAITOR! I blushed a shade of red, partly from embarrassment, the other from anger.

"Oh! I forgot. We're going out! Night!" I ran for the stairs.

"One minute young lady, get back down here." Charlie said calmly, oh no years of embarrassment here I come. I looked at Renee she was smiling.

"Yes dad?" I had my head down, and was twisting my foot.

"Into the living room Miss Swan." Dad must have forgotten that he wasn't at work.

I sat down on the couch, Renee sat next to me, and Dad sat on the chair opposite. He turned the TV down, not off; perhaps it wasn't that serious.

"So you're going out with this Edward Cullen?" The interrogation began.

"Yes, I guess I am." I said.

"How long have you been going out?" He asked.

"A couple of days." Literally.

"Bella, you're at that age now when you and Edward are going to be haven't a lot of urges..." I cut him off. "WHOA DAD! Uncool! I'm tired, can we talk about it in the morning?" He was about to interrupt when Renee stopped and nodded at me. I went into the kitchen, and grabbed two cans of coke, and sneaked through the other exit towards the stairs. I climbed the stairs and into my room, peace and quiet. I sat down on the bed, opened my drink, and took a sip. I closed my eyes, and inhaled and exhaled, that was a close encounter. Then, there was this tap at the window. Crap. I had forgotten the plan, I raced over to the window and let Edward in.

"You ok? You looked a bit startled?" He titled his head, as he climbed through the window.

"I'm fine... just a bit embarrassed. Dad giving the sex talk, well attempting..." I was cut off.

"THE TALK?!" Edward laughed; I pushed him onto the bed without thinking, and put my hand over his face.

"You obviously didn't pay attention to the talk eh Bella?" He teased.

"Yes I payed attention fool, but if you continue shouting and howling with laughter my dad will come upstairs!" And with that footsteps came upstairs.

"Quick, get in the wardrobe!" I whispered, Edwards face filled with panic as he ran to the wardrobe, I led down on my bed, and closed my eyes. The door creaked open, and Charlie entered.

"Bella... can we talk?" He asked.

"If it's the same as before, then not till morning, if at all." I said, that was all I need, Edward in the closet whilst getting the sex talk off my dad.

"Fine, but just be careful Bella. Boys are only after one thing." He said, sternly.

With that he walked out of my room, I was about to sigh with relieve when he turned and asked:

"Bella, why do you have two cans?" Shit.

"Incase I get thirsty, the pizza made me really dehydrated." Good save Isabella! If I hadn't of known the truth, I would have believed it. "Oh ok, sleep well Bella. I'm off to bed, early start tomorrow."

"How come Dad?" My turn for interrogation.

"Erm... some visitor coming got to get things tired and organized, I'll be up at 6 so when the shower goes, we haven't got a burglar." He laughed; I joined in with the laughter too. "You best get a shower too Bella, you've got bits of paint on your face."

"Thanks dad. But it's a new look all the kids at school have it." He continued laughing and closed my door.

"Wait." I whispered as Edward shuffled in the closet. I locked my door, and listened as I heard Charlie get into bed and turn on the TV. "Ok, you can come out now." Edward quietly got out the closet and stood up, and stretched. He looked over towards the window, his bag was on the floor under the window. Really? Dad spotted two cans but not an overnight bag? We both laughed, as if we could read each other's thoughts.

"I'm going to get a shower now, I see you showered back at your house. Speedy." I teased, with that I grabbed my nice PJs and headed towards the bathroom. Wonderwoman PJs, thanks Renee; the PJS included a vest top with Wonderwoman herself on, and shorts, very classy. Right now I felt like a comic geek. I had the quickest shower I had ever had, the bottom of the shower was filled with red water; I laughed. Imagine the water of Jake and Angela's showers, speaking of Angela! She hasn't phoned, perhaps I'll text her. I got out of the shower and dried my hair with a towel; I put on my PJs, and glanced in the mirror. I tied my hair up into a ponytail, Edward was going to see me and I was a mess. Oh well, he'd be asleep soon wouldn't he? A grin appeared on my face, easy Bella. I brushed my teeth and walked towards my bedroom, Renee was still downstairs. "Night Mum." I set the scene, she replied with: "Night love." I entered my room, and locked the door, Edward had changed into his PJs, or should I say lack of?

"Sweat pants? Really?" I asked, laughing.

"Nanananananana, oh sorry wrong superhero theme tune, tell me... where's the whip of justice?"Edward teased. I rolled my eyes, jokingly; "Ssh! No t-shirt?"

"I'm a man of steel Bella." He patted his chest, his best caveman impression.

"Why are you standing up?" I asked him.

"Erm... where am I stopping?" He answered my question, with a question. I paused. I walked over to my bed side table, and sent a text to Angela telling her I'd speak to her tomorrow. I had three miss calls of Alice, I looked at Edward and he smiled; knowingly. I turned off my phone, and put on my alarm. I stood in front of my bed: "Come here Edward." He walked over; he stood in front of me. I place my hands on his bare chest, his chizzled features were amazing, my hand went all the way up his chest and found his neck, this was met by my other hand; as they joined together behind Edward's neck. His hands knew where to go; they found their place around my waist. I reached up slightly, and my lips met Edwards. We kissed slowly to begin with, then like outside Biology the pace picked up. The kiss quickened, Edward slowly pushed me down onto the bed, I say pushed, it was more like I pulled him. I pulled him over me, and my hands ruffled through his hair. His lips traced my bottom lip, and in return I bit his; the kiss got more passionate. His hands reached my thighs, my hands went around his waist, his mouth traced my neck and collarbone slowly, slowly it killed me. Just then...

Knock Knock.

I paused, we both shot glances at the door.

"I'm off to bed now Bells, night." Renee called, she sounded like she suspected something.

"Night mum." I tried to keep my voice steady, Edward had just kissed my collarbone, was he trying to get us caught?

"Can I come in for a second?" CRAPCRAPCRAP. Edward ran to his closet, quietly, and I stood up. I opened the door and Renee walked in. She sat on my desk chair, and I sat on my bed.

"You're not sleeping with Edward are you?" She bluntly asked.

"WHOA MUM! We've been going out two days, we're not married you know!" I yelled.

"So you've contemplated it?" She asked, twisting my words.

"No mum, please. Just, don't..." I begged, Edward would have a field day.

"Ok love, just be careful ok." She walked out my room, with a smile on her face. I followed her and locked the door.

"You can come out now." I said to the closet.

"Just a minute..." He said.

"What's up? It can't be comfortable in that closet." I teased.

"I can't come out right now." He insisted.

"Whys that?" I asked, concerned.

"I have a... problem." With the word; problem, I finally realised.

I laughed.

"It's not funny!" He argued.

"You're right, it's hilarious. Well, I'll get into bed, close my eyes, and you and your friend can come join me?" I insisted.

"Ok." He agreed.

I climbed into bed, and pull the cover over me, and closed my eyes. I was suddenly joined with the scent of Edward Cullen.

"You do smell lovely Edward." I teased.

"You can open your eyes now Bella." He laughed.

"Hi. Are we good now?" I teased. My face was facing his.

"Nope, but I figured, I'd kiss you and distract you from my... problem." He said.

"No control Edward..." I teased, with that he placed his hands around my back, and I felt his hand trace my spine... "Now where were we?" He asked. I bit my lip. I took his face into my hands, and kiss his lips gently. Now it was my turn. I swung my leg around him, and climbed on top of him. I began kissing his lips, trailing down to his neck, pausing, onto his collarbone, pausing, onto his chest, pausing, I stopped at his belly button and retraced my steps back to his lips. He placed his hands from around my waist, to my neck and rotated me, he was now above me.

"I have no control Miss Swan?" He teased.

"Ya-uh." Is what I think came out of my mouth as he placed his mouth onto my neck.

OWCH, We are leaving it there folks! :] ITS BEEN A LONG DAY IN PHOENIX NO?

The pace will pick up, just lots of detail needs to be put in. We'll get to the weekend in no time! I think it's Thursday tomorrow in the story isn't it? lol.
