Edward: I am protesting.

Me: Why?

Edward: I get no love. *pouts*

Me: *sigh* God save me from dramatic Cullen men. *gives Edward a kiss*

Edward: Pity, I'm not yours eh?

Me: Yeah...

*Out-take*

"This is nice," Edward said putting another garbage bag into the pail.

"What?" Jasper asked loading the dishwasher.

"The three of us here together with our girl..." he broke off. "Well you know what I mean."

"Yeah, it's been fun. I can't remember the last time we did this. Just us," Emmett said.

Jasper was quiet as he closed the dishwasher's door. "What's up with you and Bella?"

Edward and Emmett looked at each other and then at Jasper as he turned to face them.

"Huh?" Emmett said. "You know Bella Bee and I've been friends since college."

Jasper shook his head. "Not you. Him," he said nodding at Edward.

"Me?" Edward squeaked. The others had told him Jasper was jealous, but he thought they had been joking, or wrong. Apparently they weren't.

"Yeah, you two are awfully chummy today," Jasper said opening another beer.

"We've always been 'chummy'," Edward said slowly. "You just never paid much attention."

"They're nerds man," Emmett said. "Nerds bond."

"I guess you have a point," Jasper said giving a little smile. Still he didn't like their 'new to him' bonding.

"Kiss my ass Em," Edward said getting a beer for himself.

"Eww," Emmett said making a face. "I know what comes out of that."

Edward broke down laughing, "The same thing that comes out of everyone's ass, you idiot."

"Yeah, you're right," Emmett said laughing.

"You and Bella ever had sex?" Jasper asked causing Emmett to choke on his spit, and the beer Edward had just swallowed flew right back up through his nose.

"WHAT?!" Edward sputtered looking at his brother as if he'd morphed into a green-skinned alien.

"Are you out of your fucking mind man?" Emmett rasped, trying to catch his breath.

"You're trying to tell me that you two spent four years living together and nothing happened once?"

Emmett turned to Edward, "He's lost his freaking mind."

"I am not having this conversation," Edward said shaking his head.

"You didn't answer the question Em," Jasper said dangerously quiet.

"What the hell is it to you anyway?" Emmett asked turning the tables on his big brother.

Edward leaned against the fridge and watched the by-play.

Jasper faltered a bit, "I don't want any issues at the company."

"Bullshit bro, and even you can taste it. Bella's been working for you how long? And she's known me how long? Has she ever said anything?" Emmett challenged.

"Well it seems that you guys are spending time again together," Jasper said glaring at Emmett.

"How many beers did you have there bro? Did you not see Rosalie? Bella is my FRIEND! What the fuck?"

Jasper looked away, throwing his beer can in the garbage. "Look Em.." he started.

"Just forget it ok?" Emmett said. "I'll just leave it as you had too many beers."

Edward smirked, "I won't. Why the sudden interest in Bella's sex life?"

Emmett flashed Edward a warning glance, but Edward just shook his head and continued talking. "You got the hots for her or something?"

"No," Jasper said through gritted teeth.

He was pissed at himself, for getting so riled up. He didn't even understand why he was, or what possessed him to ask those asinine questions. He knew that nothing ever happened between Emmett and Bella. It's just the closeness of her and Edward today, threw him off a bit. He wasn't used to seeing her around other men. Laughing and carefree.

He didn't like it.

Mine. His alpha male shouted inside.

'Where the fuck did that come from?' He rubbed a hand over his face.

"Just drop it, ok Edward?" he said.

"Fine," Edward said. "The girls will be back down shortly anyway."

"Yeah, and I wouldn't want Rose to hear the absolute amount of shit you've been spouting Jazz," Emmett said punching Jasper's arm playfully.

"Sorry about that ok?" Jasper said.

"No sweat man, just don't say shit like that anymore. Bella Bee's my baby sister. Always has been."

Jasper nodded and followed his brothers back into the living room.

Fucking emotions.
