Chapter 21:

Tanya POV

Grrrrrrrr! I can't believe this bull shit. I hate that fucking mousy bitch! Edward Cullen will regret this day for a very long time. If I can't have him and the Cullen name and all that goes with it then neither can she. I know just what to do to get even too. Bella Swan you will be the one who is going to go home whinning to your mommy when I am done with you!

Jacob POV

I had to laugh my ass off when Tanya pulled up in my yard. She was furious. Cullen and Swan had struck again. I knew Tanya was nothing but a gold digging whore but she was good enough to meet my needs fo the time being and help me bring down the Cullens. I was going to have more fun with this than I thought.

I let Tanya come and blow off some steam and got my rocks off while I was at it. When we were done I gave her peck on the cheek and sent her on her way until the next time.

Back at the bbq....

Edward POV

It took me a little bit to cool off before I could go back outside. While I sat in my room I contemplated on wether or not to tell Bella about what happned. I eventually came to the conclusion I would tell because if i didn't and Rosalie said something Bella would see it as me being deceitful and I couldn't have that.

I was finally able to go back to the bbq. When I walked back outside I caught a glimpse of All the Cullen girls in the pool with some of the smaller children. Damn Bella sure looked good in that bikini. I don't know what it was but after being mad I am always horny as hell. I knew I would have to wait though until after everyone was gone. I walked by the pool and Bella looked up and winked at me. I knew she wanted to be alone with me too. Ohhhhh boy this was going to be a long afternoon and night. After lunch all the children were going to be going on an over night camping trip and all the adults were going to be attending the dance later in the evening. After the dance the fireworks would start to bring the day to a close.

I was looking forward to having Bella all to myself and all day the next day as we always took that off to recover. So to pass the time I went out and helped with the games and activities for the children.

Bella POV

While in the pool I looked up and saw Edward come out of the house. I coul tell he was really tense about something. I looked up as he passed by me and winked at him and he gave me a tight smile. I didn't know what had happened but I knew I would get it out of him later on that night. The more I thought about it though the more it plagued me.

" Rose, do you know what is wrong with Edward? He seemed awfully tensed up just now and ealier he was fine.", I asked. I notice her glancing over toward where Edward and Jasper were helping a couple of boys to mount horses. She bowed her head and took a deep breath before answering," Bella, I do know but I'd rather not be the one to tell you becuase I know Edward would rather tell you himself. It's over now and nothing you have to worry about. I'm sure he would just be telling you in order to keep his promise that he would not keep anything from you."

I stared at her in silence for a moment then asked," Did you witness what happened?" Rose nodded quietly. " Come on Bella let's go inside for a minute and I'll tell you.", she said. I felt bad becuase I could tell she really wanted to wait until Edward had a chance to talk to me himself. Deciding I didn't want to put her in that situation, I would wait and I told her so." No, I'll wait as I'm sure Edward would prefer to tell me himself, Rose."

I smiled a bit to let her know everything was fine. She smiled a relieved smile in return. I was looking really forward to the dance tonight. Alice had desinged us all really cute dresses to wear. She had also designed our outfits for the morning portion of events. I thought Edward was going to put a whole in his jeans when he saw me in mine.

Alice had made each one of us a white, form-fitting, corset style shirts and dark wash, daisy duke style shorts. The left back pocket had entertwined double C's and an R for Crooked Creek Ranch. The right back pocket had our initials along with our signifigant other's initials. It thrilled Edward as well as all the guys to know we would be wearing their stamp on us. I laughed when Edward told me he liked seeing me wear his brand on my ass. I was proud to walk around all morning with E&B on my ass. It made me anxious to see our dresses for tonight.

Around 4 p.m. it was time to get the kids ready to go on their camping trip. Once that was done all the women headed dow to the basement to get dressed.

Alice had designed Esme's dress out of white wash denim. It was again a corset style with a cap sleeve that pushed her cleavage up. It looked fantastic with her tanned skin and caramel colored hair. Carlisle was most appreciative of the view. Alice's dress was made of linen and was a deep eggplant color. It had thin straps and was form fitting through the bodice then flared out at her hips. Rosalie's dress was a vibrant red. It was strapless and fit her body like a glove. It was cotton and spandex mixed with a lace overlay over her shoulders. Emmett swallowed hard and let out a shaky breath when he saw her.

" Rosie, can we just skip the dance part of tonight and go up to our room?", he asked her. She smiled and looked as if she was consdiering it then answered," No, honey we can't. You will just have to wait until the ned of the night." Emmett's face was sullen but he accpeted her answer with no argument.

My dress was a dark wash denim, in a corset style that flared slightly at my hips. The length stopped just above my knees and had capped sleeves that went off the shoulder.

Edward was blown away when he saw me in it. He groaned loudly but I knew he wasn't in pain well except for the major boner he had just gotten. I loved being able to effect him like that.

Once everyone was dressed the party once again was in full swing with different dance styles being preformed. The older couples engaged in a square dance. It was really cute. Around 11p.m. it was time for everyone to settle down to watch the fireworks.

Esme had hired a professonal guy to do the fireworks. Once everyone was seated he began to set then off.

Edward and I were sitting in the swing. I could tell something was really weighing on his mind. He kept taking breaths and letting them out.

" Edward, honey why don't you tell me what's got you down? I know something is on your mind. You're so tense.", I told him

" You are right, sugar. Something happened earlier today and I want to tell you about it but I know it's going to upset you. I really want to get it over with but I hate to ruin our night.", he said.

I patted his knee and smiled to show I understood, hen leaned my head over on his shoulder and whispered," Don't worry stud, we'll get through it together and I won't let it ruin our night." He sighed heavily but seemed to somewhat relax.

After the fireworks show was over around 12: 30 a.m. All the Cullens and myself lined up and told everyone goodbye. Finally all the people were gone and we could just go inside and relax.
