AN: Ok my awesome readers, here is the next chapter. Since quite a lot of you said that you didn't want lemons and since those of you who said you would like lemons said that you wouldn't stop reading if I didn't have lemons, I decided that I wouldn't write lemons, lead up to lemons…yes, actual lemon…no. I decided it was best since I can't control who reads this fanfic, and I really don't want to be responsible for permanently scarring young minds. Ok so this chapter isn't really about Edward and Bella, but it is important and necessary. Ok so enjoy! :)

Chapter 22: Friendly Nudity and Sexual Frustration

Reminder: A bit OOC!

Emmett's Perspective

Edward had taken Bella to work with him today and Alice had decided that Jasper would need new clothes for when he started work so they organised a shopping trip, something I had learned very fast, was one of Alice's favourite things to do.

Alice and Jasper had asked me if I wanted to tag along with them, but they looked so lovey dovey that I didn't want to intrude.

Ok so maybe I did want to intrude, there was nothing I enjoyed more than embarrassing my brothers but, the truth was that I needed new games for the PlayStation and the Wii and I also knew Bella would kill me if I intruded of Alice and Jasper's little shopping date.

They day went by slowly, I bought my games, ate food, bought more of the games I had intended to buy and then once again ate more food.

At five thirty I decided to make my way back to the apartment since Bella had said she wanted me back by six since we were having dinner together at seven. If Edward was cooking, then dinner was surly something I didn't want to miss, Bella would be assisting him for sure, but she couldn't cook so she strictly passed him vegetables and was there for conversation and company. I wanted to shower and test out some of my new games before dinner.

The whole day I had been thinking about this whole couples thing, Edward and Bella would soon be together, Alice and Jasper had this love at first sight thing going on, and I had no one. When Edward did grow some and share his feelings with Bella then I would become the pathetic fifth wheel of the group, sad and alone.

I entered the apartment, forcing myself not to think about it, I would find someone soon. I hoped anyways, not only for my sanity but also for little Emmett. I didn't know how much longer he could take it.

"Bella? Eddie? Are you guys back yet?" I shouted, and in return got no response.

It was ten to six and work for them finished at five, I wondered why they weren't back yet.

I decided to have a shower and if they weren't back by the time I got out of the shower then I would call them.

I got undressed and walked into my bathroom. I turned on the shower, adjusting the water temperature. I was about to get in before I realised I was out of shampoo.

Damn it.

I turned the taps off again and walked back into my room to see if I had any in my cupboard.

I couldn't find any so I walked off to Bella's bathroom, knowing I would find some there.

Entering Bella's bathroom I felt something collide with my chest, before I knew it I was lying on my back on the ground and the thing that had collided with me was on top of me.

I looked up to see Bella lying on top of me.

"Why are you naked?" she screamed.

"Why are you wet?" I shouted back.

She was wet, naked and onto of me, not to mention that she was unintentionally rubbing against little Emmett.

Little Emmett had been wide awake the other day from her little fashion parade, now I had no idea how I was going to calm him down. There were ways, ways that were not nearly as satisfying as others.

I needed to find myself a woman, not soon, now.

She rolled off me and I quickly got up and ran out of her bathroom.

I was going to hell for this. Edward had taken the whole fashion parade thing the other day quite civilly, I was still alive and unscathed but if he found out about this then I was a dead man to say the least.

Jasper's Perspective

The day with Alice had been one of the most amazing days of my life. It was only the second day I had spent with her, I had only known her for two days and yet there were two things of which I was absolutely sure of.

One, Alice was not meant to have any more than half a cup of coffee a day and two, Alice had an amazing taste for clothes, shoes, accessories and anything that had to do with looking good, not only for women but also for men and children and it was best not to argue with her.

To say we were made for each other is cheesy yet the perfect way to define us. On day two I could already see myself spending the rest of my life with her, growing old and fathering her children.

The mature side of me helped balance her ecstatic, sky high personality and in reverse her love for life and everything around her helped keep my immature side grounded, in short, without each other we are unbalanced and unstable, together we bring out the best in each other and stabilise one another. Could I honestly say that I loved her? Yes I could. Was I in love with her? Without a doubt.

Alice and I made it back to the apartment at quarter past six, forty-five minutes before Bella had informed us dinner would be at.

Emmett was frustrated playing PlayStation, a game I didn't recognise and Edward was just getting started on dinner with Bella's assistance…if you could call it that.

"Do you guys need any help?" Alice chirped as we stepped into the kitchen.

"No, we are right" Bella smiled, Edward had her chopping vegetables, very, very slowly. Bad idea in my opinion but Edward knew what he was doing and he was supervising and telling her to slow down when she started chopping to fast.

"Emmett got some new games, he is playing one now, how about you guys go challenge him" Edward suggested, "He is being unusually quiet, he even blushed when I asked him what was going on."

"Emmett blushed?" I questioned in shock, I had never witnessed that before.

"Yeah and then he muttered something like, 'All I wanted was shampoo'" Edward laughed.

"Shit!" Bella muttered through clenched teeth holding her finger.

"Bella are you alright?" gasped Edward, taking her hand so he could take a better look at it.

"Nothing to deep" he smiled, "All it needs is a bandaid, but breathe through your mouth so you don't faint there is blood?"

"She faints at the smell of blood" I explained to a confused looking Alice.

"Humans can't smell blood" Alice noted.

"Bella can" Edward laughed.

"Probably the only one" Alice smiled and then grabbed my hand to lead me out of the kitchen to join Emmett on the couch.

Alice took the seat closest to Emmett leaving room for me to sit next to her. I noticed that Emmett shifted uncomfortably at our presence, or more like at Alice's presence.

What was that about?

He loosened up after a few minutes though he still didn't say anything or offer for s to join in, something was definitely wrong with him.

He won the game he was playing and the woman warriors in the game started celebrating on the screen, though they were only animated women I knew Emmett usually loved them.

These particular warriors decided as a celebration it was necessary to start taking their clothes off. Where did he find these games?

I was half expecting him to get up and start taking his clothes off with them, the typical embarrassing Emmett thing to do.

Instead he jumped up out of his seat looking pained.

"For fuck's sake" he shouted, "What to people have against clothes all of a sudden?"

"Edward and Bella had come out of the kitchen, obviously having heard Emmett's shouting. We were all just sitting there staring at him awaiting his explanation.

He started walking towards the door mumbling softly on the way so that we could only catch a word here and there, "Wet…top…Bella…shampoo… naked…warriors…sex…little Emmett…fifth wheel…can't take it…elevator…only solution."

Once he was gone we all, turned to Bella who had completely camouflaged against the bright red feature wall behind her.

"Bella is there something you know that you are not telling us?" Alice asked, "Did something happen that you haven't told us about?"

"No, why would you think I know anything?" she asked, nervously, she knew exactly what was going on, she had always been the world's worst liar.

"Spit it out" Alice demanded, knowing full well she was being lied to.

"Yeah why was your name associated with the words wet, naked and sex?" Edward asked nervously, fearing the worst.

"Well…" Bella began giggling nervously.

The clogs in my head were starting to turn and nothing added up, it all led up to something I didn't have the gut to think about, if I was right then the plan was ruined.

Bella wouldn't would she? She loved Edward she wouldn't do anything with Emmett. Emmett wouldn't mess with the plan like, he wanted Bella and Edward to get together. There had to be a reasonable explanation for this. Yet again if Emmett and Bella had… then it would explain Emmett's strange behaviour guilt?

I looked over at Edward. He looked as if he was going to kill someone (Emmett) and be sick at the same time. I'm sure the thought of the girl he loved being with his brother was really messing with is mind to extreme levels.

"Bella…you and Emmett didn't…you know…?" I asked, I couldn't help it, I had to know so did Edward, preferably before he exploded or ran off and did something he would later regret.

"No, no, no, NO!" she yelled when she realised what I was asking, Edward, Alice and I all sighed audibly, never had I seen so much relief present of Edward's face.

"Then what happened?" Alice asked.

Rosalie's Perspective

I got back to my small cramped apartment. Working all day with sexy but obviously off limits Edward and Seeing sweaty Jacob working out on the way up here had taken a lot out of me, it had taken a lot of self control, I was to the point where new Rosalie was slowly slipping away and old Rosalie was slowly starting to gain control again after her one year and four and a half months being locked away.

I didn't like old Rosalie but she was a larger part of me than I realised, old Rosalie was a slut to put it simply.

She didn't get paid for what she did, she wasn't like that, she just enjoyed being physical. She got board easily and no man held her interest for more than a week.

After several pregnancy scares she started worrying a bit about what she was but it wasn't until A HIV scare that she decided she wasn't going to sleep with anyone again until she got married.

At this moment I realised I couldn't wait that long, far all I knew I could never get married.

The quickly had a shower and got dressed to head over to Edward and Bella's, it was quarter to six.

Before leaving my apartment I promised myself that I would live life from this moment on, not to the careless extremes of old Rosalie but also not to the unreasonable extremes of the new Rosalie. I would have to find a balance between the two, become the new, new Rosalie.

I think a balance between the two would have to be something like finding a stable relationship and actually getting to know each other before taking that next step.

Unfortunately it sounded so much easier to accomplish in my head, my body was not agreeing and I didn't know how much longer I could take it.

Tonight was going to be a challenge, being around Edward was going to be hard, I had also learnt the he had two brothers, I was sure anything blood related to Edward would be smoking hot. Great even more of a challenge, I have a feeling that by the end on the night my body would be giving me even less time to find the stable relationship I was looking for. Even less time than the little time I knew I had at the moment.
