I'm on a weekend getaway with Mr. Pearly to celebrate our 7 years together, but while he got ready I decided to write some more. The internet is slower than drivers on a Sunday afternoon, but hey... What I'd do to make you guys happy ;)

Little time jump coming up after this one!

Big kiss!

Moving in with my Butterfly?

Good idea?

I did need a place to stay, obviously.

But could I?

Could I possibly control myself, living with her?

"Boss?" Emmett's voice broke my train of thoughts as Bella looked at me, expectantly.

"Have any of you given it any thought that maybe Bella doesn't want this?" I wondered.

"Oh, she wants too." Rose snorted, earning herself a punch in the upper arm by Isabella Swan.

"If you don't want to, Edward, I get it." Bella's voice was weak and tinged with sadness.

"No, it's not that I don't want to," I started. "It's just, you've done so much for me already, and with your job and moving, it's going to be very busy. I don't want to wear you out."

Bella nodded and a small, sly smile graced her lips.

"Oh Good Guy, don't be afraid to wear me out. I'm a big girl, you know." She winked and I had to stifle a chuckle at the double context of her words. "I have some time off anyway, I have some stuff I need to sort out myself, so there is plenty of time to move you in."

My brow raised as I wondered what she needed to take care of, but I had a feeling time would tell me anyway. Especially if I was going to move in in her apartment.

"Okay." I nodded and smiled. "Why the hell not?" Rosalie applauded dramatically and Emmett just winked at me. I felt like I was starring in one of those obnoxiously predictive romantic comedy's on TV.

It's like they all know about our feelings for each other without us actually saying anything. Well, Bella told Rosalie, so I guess Rose told Emmett and Emmett got back to Bella.

Oh, and I told Alice, so by now Jasper would have heard all about my Butterfly, my mom would know as well, seeing as Alice can't keep a decent secret from anyone. In her defence, no woman is more greedy to find anything out that my mother.

"Great! So, can we start loading your place in ours now? I was planning on moving out tomorrow, anyway." Rosalie shrugged. This was all moving faster than I'd anticipated.

"I guess, yeah! There's no point in bringing it to my parent's place and then shipping it over to your place." I told her.

A knock on the door startled us, and I had a flash of panic that maybe Tanya would be back.

As I peered through the peephole, I snickered. It was my sister in her moving get-up, a pile of unfolded boxes almost obscuring her from my view.

"Ali," I smiled and took the carboard from her, and she let of a huge breath.

"Did you know some of your dirtbag neigbor is hogging the elevator?" She seemed out of breath, which was rare for Alice Cullen and her array of yoga and pilates classes.

"Seriously?" My mouth gaped open. "You took that much stairs with all those boxes?"

"Duh, did you think I'd wait until the prodigal tenant came down a tin box to rescue me?" Alice joked and stepped inside.

"Oh fuck, that's her?" Alice whispered in my ear when she took off her humongous scarf.

"I knew you had a thing for blondes, but that's so not the girl for you, Edward." It took me a minute to realize my sister thought that Rosalie was my Butterfly.

"What? No!" I said a little too loudly, since everyone looked at me like I was a lunatic.

"Brunette," I whispered in Alice's ear when I passed her and sat back down at the table.

"Oh, my." Alice smiled and her eyes glinted.

"So, people. Let me introduce myself and let's move this along, shall we? The less time my brother needs to spend here, the better his life gets." Alice clapped her hands and Rose, Emmett and Bella stayed quiet, full attention on my sister.

"I'm Alice Cullen,my brother calls me Ali most of the time, so you can call me either. Thanks for taking care of Edward when when I couldn't go to the hospital and thanks your being in his life. I've noticed something change in him, he looks happy again and I can tell we're all going to get along perfectly!" Alice beamed.

"You must be Bella, right?" Alice stood in front of my Butterfly, her hand resting on Bella's right shoulder and the brightest of grins on her face.

Bella nodded and reached out, holding out her hand for Alice to shake.

"Silly girl," Alice chuckled and pulled Bella up to embrace her in true Alice Cullen fashion. My sister never passed up the opportunity to hug. Ever.

"Yeah, I'm Bella," Butterfly chuckled as she sweetly returned Alice's embrace.

I spotted Alice looking her over and felt slightly uncomfortable as her eyes shifted into mine, the obvious wink telling me she approved of my Butterfly. I wanted to groan out loud and cover myself entirely with a blanket —hiding from the world.

"I've heard so much about you, it's great to meet you, Bella." Alice smiled like the Cheshire cat, causing me to roll my eyes.

"Aaaaah, Alice." Emmett walked over, surprising my sister with an intense hug, squeal included when he put her down. My eyes widened and Rose bursted out laughing.

"Uhm, hi." Sister dearest smoothed down the fabric of her sweater and eyed Emmett suspiciously.

"You are the new security guy, right?" Emmett nodded and saluted Alice jokingly.

"Yeah, and this is Rosalie." He held out his hand to introduce Blondie, who in turn went in for a hug. "My fiancée," Emmett added.

"Oh, that's so exciting. Congratulations, you two!"

The three of them started talking and talking about weddings and turning Emmett's bachelor pad into a full-on home for two and I decided to tune out.

Bella snuck up beside me, putting a hand on my arm before she spoke.

"Your sister is so lovely," she said with big eyes.

"She is most of the time," I chuckled.

"We should talk about the whole roommate thing. I mean, if that's not something you're in for, I totally understand, but I'd have to start looking for someone to share the rent with soon. There's no way I can afford a two-bedroom on my own." She explained.

"You're positive you want this, right? I mean, I don't want you to do this out of pity, Butterfly." She rolled her eyes at me and I nudged her in the arm.

"Out of pity? Oh, come on. I think it's a wonderful idea, and it's all Rose's by the way. I was halfway done putting up an ad online for a roommate when she busted in the room and had an epiphany." Bella giggled.

"I guess I owe her," I shrugged.

"So you'll do it?" Her smile lit up the entire room. I decided I wanted to see that smile often. Everyday even.

"Of course, I can't wait." I smiled and I knew it: times were looking up.
