Chapter 21

BPOV

Edward stood by the couch in dark, low riding, tight-around-the-butt grey jeans and a red lumber jack shirt that was left open to reveal the white wife beater underneath. He was breath takingly sexy. The wife beater clung to his chest like a second skin and his jeans showed off that amazing peachy ass.

Before I knew it I was being shoved into the bathroom and the door was closed behind me.

I took a quick shower, anything to put off having to see what Alice and Rose had picked out for me. I decided to get the worst out of the way and opened the smallish Victoria secrets bag pulling out a simple black and blue, very lacy, very outrageous plunge bra with matching boy shorts. I slipped them on, my eyes widening at the cleavage they created.

Next was a dress; it was one of Edwards t-shirts, expectedly tailored by Alice. The neck line was fixed to be exceedingly low and taken in to be skin tight around the waist and chest making my hour glass figured that much more defined. The dress was long enough o come down to about mid thigh considering it was once Edwards t-shirt. I smiled as I pulled out an oversized hoodie from the bottom of the bag that was also Edwards, but seemed to become more mine seen as I had had it for so long.

"Bellareenie you done?" Alice called.

"Just shoes Alice" I called back securing the kitten healed dolly shoes to my feet. I applied a little mascara and left my hair out with, the freshly washed look making my chaos of layers stand out.

I stepped out of the bathroom to be met with cat calls and cheers which only fuelled my permanent blush.

I quickly pulled on the hoodie, sticking my tongue out at the others as they voiced their disapproval of the oversized hoodie. Edward grinned noting that nearly everything I wore was owned by him. He opened his mouth to protest about loosing his shirt but Alice jumped in "We knew you wouldn't mind seen as it looks so damn good on Bella" He didn't say a word, just nodded.

The six of us traipsed noisily down into the lobby of the hotel. The boys talked adamantly about the game they just watched whilst Rose and Alice clung to each of my arms squealing about plans they had to spend the next couple of days going to visit the parents of their other halves and taking them to see their parents. I wished them both luck and insisted that I would be fine on my own at home for a couple of days and promised that if anything untoward was to happen to me I would call Edward to come rescue me immediately. The girls continued to tease me about my crush in hushed whispers.

I had forgotten about my previous convocation and drama involving Jacob until Edward caught my eye giving me a 'you have to tell them some time' look. I nodded, taking a deep breath. I would tell Alice and Rose when we were home and they could kill me with minimal witnesses.

After I had split the bill for the room with Edward, although he refused profusely to let me pay even half, we left the hotel and I jumped into Roses car after saying goodbye to the boys and thanking Edward for dinner.

I stayed silent on the way home, knowing for the looks Alice shot me through the rear view mirror that they were going to pounce once I had one foot through the door. And they did. The second the door was closed I was bombarded with questions. "So what happened?"

"Why were you in bed with Edward?"

"Did you see the way his eyes popped out of his head when you walked out in that dress!?"

"Did he take you for a romantic candle-lit dinner and confess his undying love for you?"

"Or did you do that for him?"

"Guys!" silence. Alice and Rose sat down on the sofa just itching to make another poke at my feelings for Edward. I stood in front of them and surveyed how much damage they could do. I moved the lamp from beside Alice and pushed the used plate further under the sofa away from Rose. "Okay" they gave me a crazy lady look "so, last night" I began "well I went to the gym after work, which for the record I am seriously considering quitting considering the amount of sexual harassment suits I could pull on Mike, anyway, I met Edward at the gym. Fell off the treadmill onto my butt. Then Edward took me for dinner" they ginned as I ended and both opened their mouths to speak "and then Jake turned up" I slipped in. Silence.

"WHAT!?" they chorused

"Okay don't get mad" I squeaked shielding myself with my arms "look he turned up and then Edward almost beat the crap out of him and then it turned out he was actually gay and he apologised about everything and we talked and we are gonna try and make a go of it as friends please don't hurt me" I said in a rush. More silence.

"ARE YOU CRAZY!?" Rose shrieked

"WOMAN WHAT IN GODS NAME IS WRONG WITH YOU!?" Alice added.

"Guys you weren't there you don't understand. Look, Jake and I are gonna try and work things out and I know he is truly sorry for everything he did and I'm willing to make a go of it. I know that it's gonna take time and everything but everyone deserves a second chance right? And you can't knock that cus you're the ones who taught me that" I settled on the couch between them. More silence, would it ever end? I sighed as Alice spoke

"And your completely sure about this?" she asked

"Completely. I'm not saying that its gonna happen over night or anything but he was my best friend" Rose merely nodded

"I'm not happy about leaving you here on your own knowing he's in town" she added

"Promise us that at least to begin with if you meet up with Jake then one of us will be with you and when we aren't here you have to promise us that you will make sure that Edward at least knows where your going and when if your gonna go see him. Promise?" I nodded and hugged Alice tightly. Rose joined in adding a "so he's gay huh?" we burst into giggles.

"Yeah, he's dating Seth Clearwater and they honestly make the cutest couple ever!" I gushed remembering their intimacy from the night before.

"Momma Ali, Momma Rosie, do ya' think we could have Jake and Seth over for dinner tomorrow?" they both nodded and I grinned.

After our moment I called Jake setting up dinner plans for the following evening before Alice dragged us to the mall. Apparently Rose needed power panties to have the courage to meet Emmetts parents.

By the end of the day I fell sleepily into bed, however the moment my eyes closed my phone vibrated on my bed side table. I picked it up and put it to my ear "nuhhhhh" I groaned sleepily. A low velvety chuckle sounded form the other end of the phone and I bolted up right in bed "I'm awake!" I said into the phone

"Glad to know" Edward laughed "so did you tell them?"

"Yeah. Jake and Seth are coming for dinner tomorrow night. Wanna come?"

"Sure, although if he steps one toe out of line I won't be held responsible for my actions" his voice dropped lower and more husky, I shivered. I fell back so my head hit the pillow
"well at least I'll have Emmett there to restrain you"

"Don't count on it Bellareenie, he hurts you I hurt him!" Emmett called in the background

"You told him!?"

"No, Rose did"

"Rose!" I yelled, her head popped round my door "You told Emmett about Jake!?" she shrugged looking guilty "who else knows?"

"We all know puddin'" came a distinctly Jasperish southern accent

"Guys!? Is nothing secret anymore!?" Alice poked her head round my door

"Now hunny you know there are no secrets in this family" she said firmly. I sighed

"Sorry Angel" Edwards voice sounded through the phone, I smiled a little

"'sokay"

"Anyways I should probably let you get to bed. Night Angel"

"Night Edward" I yawned. After setting my phone back on the bed side table Alice and Rose both bounded into my room and tumbled onto the bed, settling themselves in on either side of me in various variations of pj's. "You know you never told me what happened with you guys last night" I said to Rose. Alice blushed realising that Edward and I would have heard what they were doing. Rose began

"Well, Emmett took me to this really posh restaurant near the lake, he had some how pulled stings and gotten them to do dinner for us on the lake in a boat. It was the most romantic night of my life, we talked and laughed. We watched the sun go down and the stars come out and it was so perfect. And then we went back to his place so I could show him my appreciation" he giggled out the last part and Alice continued to squeal at how loved up it all was. "Alice?" I probed. She blushed again

"Well, he took me out to this park that was on a hill that looked out over the city. We had this picnic is was so cute. Jas had his guitar and he wrote me a song and we watched the sun set and snuggled together under a blanket. It was the cutest thing every Bella I love him so much!" she gushed.

After much excited talking and late night banter we all fell asleep snuggled together.

The next morning was spent getting the beginnings of the meal started and laughing as the boys tried to assemble our dinning table in the living room. We kept the table in it s parts in the storage cupboard, taking it out only for occasions, however we hadn't until that day had an occasion we needed to use it for. Jasper picked up instructions and took one look before throwing it over his shoulder as Emmett declared "we are real men! Real men don't need a manual!" We laughed till our sides hurt and took numerous pictures of them failing miserably. By mid day almost everything was ready and we decided to take a break and boys made sandwiches for us. We sat in the wreckage of the table until the boys finally left having set up the table and we got ready.

Finally at six everything was ready and there was a knock on the door. I pulled it open to see a widely grinning Jake and a shyly smiling Seth. "Come on in guys" Rose and Alice stood ridged by the table. The five of us engaged in general small talk and Alice and Rose both leapt to get the door when the boys arrived.

By the time dinner was served the tension in the air was like a block of ice. Edward sat on one side of me with Emmett on the other and Jasper at the head of the table causing both Jake and Seth to sweat bullets at the death glares they were getting.

"So how long have you Edward been together Bells?" Seth asked trying to clear the awkward silence

"Ummm, we're not" Edward mumbled, his eyes fixed on his steak.

"Seriously?" Jake asked in disbelief "wow, I would have bet my right nut that you guys had something going on" and the tension was gone when Seth spoke

"But hunny you know how much I love that nut" No one could hold back their laughter.

By the time desert rolled around everyone was chatting like they had known each other for years.

Alice and Rose both left early the next morning with Jasper and Emmett and seen as I was up so early I decided to get a head start with work. I dressed quickly and made my way to the office.

As I stepped inside starbucks I quickly pulled out my phone sending Jake a text telling him thanks for last night and that him and Seth should come over again tonight for a catch up session. I placed my order and turned around as my phone beeped. I flicked it open and giggled at Jakes promise of bringing food and Seth giving me a pedicure, Seth never was one for artsy stuff. As I turned around I caught an eye full of a head of bronzy red hair enter the coffee shop. I grabbed my order as it was placed and waited to the side as Edward placed his order. "Morning early bird" he greeted me.

"Hey yourself" I replied taking a sip. "Seth and Jake are coming over tonight, thought I'd let you know" Edward merely nodded before he got a phone call of his own. He quickly kissed the top of my head and mouthed that he had to go. I nodded and decided I should probably make my way to the office if I was going to make use of the quiet time at work.
