A/N: Sorry for not updating in a few days. Had some computer problems and now that it is all squared away, on with the story. But first, thank you all for the great reviews and this next chapter is actually dedicated to perpetual.marble for a great review about a certain banana getting buffed! Thanks again to my wonderful Beta - FaithInSnape for helping clean up my work.

Talk Now

Rose's POV:

Once the boys left to go get us some food for lunch, we girls went toward the pool to cool off. I began to suspect that Bella might have actually done something with Edward. The way she kept looking back toward him, her eyes drifting all over his body. We planted ourselves on the edge of the pool, dangling our feet into the cool water, as I looked around and saw that Macy was standing in line for the slide. She waved over to us and began to climb up the stairs. I looked at her and began to see how much she and I were alike. I could already tell that she would be leaving a lot of broken hearts in her wake when she was older. Speaking of hearts…

"So, Bella," I started, bumping her shoulder with mine.

"Yeah, Bella," Alice piped in, doing the same thing as me on Bella's other side.

I looked over to Bella and saw that she was beginning to blush, a dead giveaway. Bella had something big to share with us.

"What?" Bella asked as a small smile crossed her face. She turned back to look for the guys, but they were already gone.

"What exactly did Alice walk in on?" I asked. I wasn't sure if I should jump right into the thick of things, or if she was going to need baby steps.

"Yeah, what did I walk in on?" Alice echoed. I looked over to her, wondering if she was planning on repeating everything I said. She just stuck her tongue out at me and then gave Bella her undivided attention.

"Why should I explain anything to you, Rose? After all, I am not on the same level as you and Alice," Bella had on her stubborn face on.

"Ouch. I guess I had that coming," I started, which was true, I had not treated her very well a little while ago, "Look, I'm sorry about earlier. Do you think you can forgive me?"

Bella crossed her arms around her chest, "I don't know, Rose. You were a real bitch to me. You had no right to tell me that I would not understand. I am a woman; I have the same feelings and desires as you and Alice."

"You were being a bitch as well."

"Did you ever stop and think that maybe I was acting strangely for a perfectly good reason?"

I looked over to Alice again, who seemed to have found our bickering amusing. I knew that I had to give in, if I was to get any answers, "Fine, you win. I am really sorry, Bella. From now on, I will not just jump to conclusions. You are right. You are a woman who has the same thoughts and feelings as anyone else," I leaned in closer to her, giving her my best please forgive me smile, "Now will you please tell us what happened?"

God, I hate begging. But desperate times cause me to slip down my standards a bit. I knew she had caved when her smile got bigger.

"Well, actually it started with last night," Bella began, "We were pretty hot and heavy and both ready to move to the next level, but where we were was not a good place. We were headed to his room when we met up with Jasper and Alice."

"Sorry," Alice said, giving Bella a small smile, "Where exactly had the two of you been anyway? You two left the bar first."

"We found a Piano Bar. It was closed for the night. Edward began to play…"

"Wait a minute. You already knew that Edward could play?" I asked her; surprised that she hadn't mentioned it earlier. Then again, that was probably my fault.

"Yes and no," Bella said, "I just found out last night, but was playing along with you all a little while ago. I didn't know that you all were going to talk him into the talent show. Now I have to worry about that, and wonder what he is planning. Anyway, like I was saying, he began to play and it was so enticing and erotic all at the same time. I began to wonder what it would be like to have his fingers dancing across my skin, like they did across the piano keys. He seemed to just lose himself in the music. I reached over to brush his hair out of his eyes and it woke him up. We just started kissing and he laid me across the top of the piano, but he stopped me when my hands went for his pants. We were going to continue in the room, but then we ran into Alice and Jasper. And you know the rest about last night."

"So then this morning you were feeling frustrated?" I asked to confirm and Bella nodded her head, "I am sorry again, Bella. I should have picked up on it."

"It's fine, really. Let's just say that after this afternoon, all can be forgotten."

"So how was it?" Alice asked, "All that you thought it would be?"

I looked at Bella, wondering the same thing. I thought back to my first real time with a guy. It had really sucked. Then again, I had just slept with the guy because I thought that was what was supposed to happen.

"Yeah, it was," Bella said with a far off dreamy look, "He was very careful. It didn't hurt as bad as I thought it would, but maybe that is because he was gentle."

"He looks like he would be big," I said, glancing over to our chairs and noticing that the guys were back with big plates of food.

"Yeah, I guess," Bella shrugged her shoulders, "but then again, I don't exactly have much to compare him to. Actually, I have nothing to compare him to. What about the two of you? We never did get to talk much earlier."

"Jasper was perfect in bed, so in tune with my emotions. I had actually never had a great orgasm before. But with Jasper, I could literally feel myself cum. It was the strangest feeling. I am so ready for a repeat. As far as size, he was perfect; hitting all my spots."

Bella just nodded and turned her attention to me, "what about you and Emmett?"

I thought back to last night, amazed at how well we gelled together in the hot tub, "Actually, he was huge. Oh my God, he felt incredible inside. I'm with Alice; I cannot wait until the next time. Speaking of which, since we have been sleeping in separate rooms the past couple of nights, should we just continue with that?"

"That's fine with me and I think that you should stay in our room. Alice and I can sleep in the boys' room. You and Macy need as much time together as you can get." Just as Bella finished speaking, Macy swam over to us.

"I'm getting hungry. When are we going to get dinner?" Macy asked, her bright red face looking up at me. I looked down at my watch and was surprised to find that it was already getting close to four.

"I think we need to go ahead and head back to the room and get ready. Dinner is in an hour," I said, beginning to stand up and stretch out. I put my hands toward Macy and pulled her out of the water.

All of us began to make our way back to the chairs and gather up our stuff. I could tell that the guys were also deep in conversation, and chances were it was the same type that we girls had just had. As we got closer, I could hear that the conversation was about the talent show. I was curious, but I had the feeling Edward was going to be very tight-lipped. He was going to have to be if he expected Bella to get up there onstage with him. At least we only had a day or so to wait. I gathered up my bags and bent over to give Emmett a kiss on the cheek. He playfully wrapped his arms tightly around me.

"We are going back to the room to get ready for dinner," I said, straightening up.

"What time is it anyways?" Jasper asked, pulling Alice into his lap.

"It is getting close to four and some of us still need to shower," Alice said, looking right at Bella, who took her place right next to Edward.

"Ok, then we will see you all in a bit," Emmett said, giving my ass a playful tap.

I just grinned and swayed my hips as I walked, giving him a view to ponder for the rest of the day.

Emmett's POV:

I could tell almost immediately that Edward and Bella completed a very important task. Jasper and I steered him away from the girls to get the details, even though I figured that Edward was not one to spill the beans about something like this. Then again, I don't know. He might; it was his first time, after all. If we were lucky, we might even get more information than he intended to share.

Edward kept turning around to look back at Bella, so I picked the pace up a bit so that he had to practically run to keep with us. It was fine by me, I was starving. I came up to the large buffet and began to fill a plate full of food; everything from fruit to hamburgers and pizza. There was definitely no way anyone could starve here. If anything, I would be going home with a few extra pounds.

"So…," I started as I began to shovel food onto my plate.

"So ...what?" Edward asked, looking at me. I guess I was actually going to need to spell it out for him.

"Alice and I went to go check on Bella and she was flying out of the bathroom like a bat out of hell. All she said, and I quote, was, 'Bella, Edward, shower." Jasper halted for a bit, most likely for dramatics, but Edward's face was not giving anything away.

"Do those three words ring any bells for you, Edward?" Jasper finished up.

A small smile crossed his face. I could have bet my entire life savings that he was thinking back to the shower and what really happened. Finally, he nodded his head slowly.

We began to walk back to the pool area with a pile of food, enough for an army, taking our good ol' time. I looked across and saw that the girls were still sitting on the edge. Chances were they were trying to get the same dirt from Bella as Jasper and I were from Edward. I began to wonder if they were having any luck, or if Bella was being as tight-lipped as Edward was being.

"So are you going to give us any details or are you just going to keep us guessing?" I asked, reclaiming the seat that Rose and I had been sharing just a few moments earlier.

"I am pretty confident that you are doing a great job at guessing. But what do you think happened?" Edward asked, his eyes also wandering about the pool's edge.

"I am hoping that you had your banana buffed. But chances are you two probably did not even get past the peeling stage."

I could see that both Jasper and Edward were trying hard not to laugh. Edward came close to choking on his food.

"Excuse me, buffed the banana?" he said, amusement still evident on his face, "Is that what they call it these days?"

"You know perfectly well what I am talking about," Great, I guess I am going to have to spell it out, "Did you and Bella have sex or not?"

"Emmett, do you think you can be any more subtle about this?" Jasper asked me.

"Jasper, its fine," Edward started, "I actually do not expect anything less from Emmett. He is a man that, sometimes, can only think with his other head. More so now that he and Rose have already taken the Jacuzzi for a spin."

"Hey, I am just trying to get the facts. We had this discussion earlier today. Both Jasper and I confessed that we slept with the girls. Here you are, having sex for the first time ever. in the shower none the less. We just want details."

I swear it sounded like I was whining like a girl.

"You know we are beginning to sound a lot like girls," Jasper said, after my little rant, "I wonder if the girls are over there talking to Bella like this."

Damn, Jasper is good with his therapy and feeling stuff.

"Of course they are over there talking about this," I said matter-of-factly, "They're girls, and this is what they talk about. I can practically give you a play by play on their conversation."

"This ought to be interesting," Edward said, reaching for a beer, "Emmett, please enlighten us as to what the mind of a female thinks. Even though I personally think that Jasper should be the one to do this. After all, it is his field."

I looked over to Jasper to see if he wanted to take this but he just threw his hands up, "By all means, Emmett, please tell us what goes through a woman's mind after one has sex for the first time. What are the girls thinking or talking about?"

Great, I had probably just put my foot into the horse's mouth.

"Fine," I said, placing my plate of food in front of me and grabbing a beer. I cleared my throat, "Ok, I will ask the questions that I think that Rose and Alice are asking Bella right now and I think that Edward should do us the pleasure of answering them so that Jasper and I can have an understanding of what Bella might be saying or thinking. Deal?"

"Ok, I will play along," Edward agreed.

I tried to imitate Rose's sweet voice of nectar, "Bella, did you lose it?"

Edward spit his beer right into my face, laughing hysterically. I thought I had done a pretty decent job of playing Rose. I wanted details, but I could tell that this was going to be a lot harder than I had ever thought it would be.

Edward's POV:

I tried, really I did. I decided to play along with Emmett's game of knowing what the girls were discussing, but when he tried to sound like Rose, I couldn't help but spit out my beer on him. Jasper was practically falling out of the chair.

"Who the hell is that supposed to be?" Jasper asked trying to compose himself.

"I am trying to be Rose. You, Jasper, are to be Alice and Edward is Bella. We are sort of role playing here," Emmett answered, looking as though he thought he were stating the obvious.

"Oh," I said, "Well, that was a very interesting Rose voice. Let's try this again, now that we know exactly what is going on," I just rolled my eyes how I think Bella would have done, if the question were being asked of her, "Yes, Rose."

"That's my boy," Emmett bellowed out, his voice carrying over to the pool. All three of the girls turned their attention to us. I just smiled to Bella and then gave Emmett and Jasper my attention once more.

"Emmett, this is stupid. We all know that girls think about sex differently than we guys do," Jasper said, I gave him an appreciative look, "Girls ask questions like 'did it hurt?' or 'was it what you thought it would be?' We guys just don't care about things like that. All that matters to most of us is if the job got done."

"You are both wrong," I said, I needed to set them straight, "I care very much about Bella and I did ask her if she were alright. I do not even want to think that I might have hurt her in any way. I would not even have cared if Alice came in at the beginning, just as long as Bella would have been fine. Yes, she and I had sex. Yes, she was a virgin, just like me. But no, this was not just a one-time thing. I care far too much about her to hurt her by this just being a one night stand. I promised her that I was not going anywhere. She has lost so much already, I did not want her to think that she lost her virginity to a cruise ship fling."

"How do you intend to keep her around?" Emmett asked, "I, for one, would be very interested in this. I am not ready to have Rose leave my life."

"I'm not going anywhere. I have already decided that I am in love with her and want to share everything that I have with her."

"I'm right there with you, Edward," Jasper said, "Can you believe that Alice told me that she knew that I was the one the moment that we saw each other in the hall on our first day here?"

"Wow, really?" Emmett asked. I could see both of my friends eyes begin to drift. I knew that they were thinking back to the beginning of the week. It was amazing how much our lives had changed, all in a matter of four fun filled days. The most amazing part, though, was that we still had close to three days remaining and then the week in Disney World.

"Can you all believe that we had three girls come crashing into our lives when we were not even looking for them?" Jasper asked, "I don't know about the rest of you, but I cannot imagine what our lives will be like if they are not around."

I began to think about what Jasper had just said and realized that he was right. For the first time since Erica passed away, I was starting to feel whole again and I knew that it was because of Bella. She had brought sunlight back into my dark world. Some may even think that this was all just brought on by the feelings that one gets after having sex for the first time, but I knew that was not the case. I already had already fallen in love with Bella that first night. It was like fate had brought us together. Maybe this was the working of Erica.

"So, Edward, what do you plan on playing for the talent show?" Jasper asked me.

I already knew what I was going to play, but I wanted to keep it a surprise, "Actually, I guess I need to go sign up and speak with the house band about accompanying me."

"You are not even going to give us a hint?" Emmett asked, leaning closer to me, obviously hoping that I would at least whisper it.

Just then the girls began to make their way over to us and I moved my fingers across my lips to let my friends know that the conversation was officially closed. Bella came and sat down next to me. I put my arm around her waist, pulling her closer. After this afternoon, I wanted to do nothing but touch her. She felt so good against my skin.

"We are going back to the room to get ready for dinner," Rose said, straightening up to get out of Emmett's grip.

"What time is it anyways?" Jasper asked, pulling Alice into his lap.

"It is getting close to four and some of us still need to shower," Alice answered. I noticed how she seemed to purposely direct the comment toward Bella and me. I just rolled my eyes, another shower with Bella actually sounded like a good idea.

"Ok, we will see you all in a bit," Emmett said, giving Rose's ass a playful tap.

I leaned over and gave Bella a kiss on the cheek before she followed the girls. When they were out of earshot, Jasper and Emmett leaned closer to me. I could tell that they were about to ask me something.

"Was it like you thought it would be or do you prefer your hand taking care of the job?" Emmett asked, grabbing another beer out of the bucket.

I went to stand up, "Let's just say that all I want is Bella taking care of that problem from here on out." Then I began to walk away. Knowing that it was getting close to dinner, I needed to change and maybe take a cold shower.

"Hey, where are you going?" Emmett yelled after me, "All the girls went back to the room. I doubt you will get any action now!"

"It's time to get ready for dinner," I said and noticed that Jasper and Emmett were just a couple of feet behind me. By the time that I reached the elevator, they had caught up with me.

"So, what are the plans for tonight?" Jasper asked as the doors closed behind us. I hit the button for the main floor, "Hey, Edward, that is not our level!"

"I know I need to go sign up for the show," I explained, "But as far as tonight goes, no plans yet. Wonder what is going on in the theater tonight?"

"Cirque du Soleil," Jasper replied. Both Emmett and I turned to look at him. What in the world did he do, read everything that was left in our room?

"How do you know that?" Emmett asked him. Jasper just pointed to the pamphlet that was posted in the elevator.

"That would actually be kind of cool to watch," Emmett said, studying the pictures of ladies wearing very tight leotards, "but kind of creepy at the same time. Look at those faces and all the makeup. Sort of like funky clowns."

The doors opened up and I lead us over to the customer care desk so I could write my name on the list, along with what I was going to play. I then smiled as I made my way back to the elevator. I just hoped that the house band knew the song and that Bella would sing along like she had earlier. If nothing else, I would just have to turn up my dazzling skills a bit. Shouldn't be too hard.

"Now where?" Emmett asked when the doors closed behind us.

"Time to get ready for dinner," I said hitting th ebutton to the Empress level.

"Well, only two of us needsto shower," Emmett nudged me in the arm with his elbow, a smile crossing his lips.

I can tell that I will never live this down. but I have the feeling that the talent show might actually top the shower.
