Yep here it is the next reworked chapter. I might still do one more up this week, I mainly went ahead and posted 2 when I realized I hadn't touched this since 2011. I figure the likelihood that anyone is still reading this is low, but I am determined to get this done and then start working on the other unfinished projects. One at a time.

Not to much changed, just enough though. Not beta'd so mistakes will more than likely be found.

After getting an eye full of Edward tushy I sent a text to Alice letting her know I was going to spend the night at Charlie's and I would see her the next day, bringing my stuff back over. I thought I that would hold things off till the next morning.

However, I was wrong less than 30 minutes later the front door was being pounded on. At first, I thought it was Emmett so I wandered down stairs to tell him I was tired and needed a break from the world. Unfortunately, it was Alice. Alice was in tears,"Bella!" She exclaimed and rushed into my arms for a hug.

"Hey Alice I told you I'd see you Sunday."

"Bella can we talk for a moment?" I agreed and led the pixie up to my bedroom "Ok Alice shoot."

"OhmyGodIamsoosorry!" She burst out so fast that it was hard to follow.

"Alice it's ok." I tried to smile I really did.

"No Bella it's not." She groaned. "I didn't realize you thought I was in your old room. I took the guest bedroom when we moved in the light in the morning is great for makeup time. I didn't realize you'd get a free show of Edward's naked ass and scare you away." She told me bluntly.

"Alice it's ok I should have asked which room."

"Bella I just hope you know I wasn't trying to…," She hesitated, "Bella I know you have a crush on Edward." She sighed and she cut me off as I was trying to deny that, "Bella it is written all over your pretty face. You have feelings for my horn dog of a brother. I just didn't want you to think I sent you up there on purpose to be a bitch, I meant every word I said about us being sisters." I hugged her so she knew I wasn't mad.

"I know Alice I never thought you would do that to me."

"Bella, Edward is clueless to how you feel. I swear for someone so smart he's an idiot." She huffed her whole little frame filled with indignation. I had to laugh a little.

"I don't want him to know Alice." I told her truthfully. If he did know he'd never come around me again.

"I'd never tell him Bella." She promised. "In fact, when he came running down the stairs half-dressed bitching about knocking I realized you must have found out about his nudist tendencies and I told him sorry and that it was my fault. He doesn't know it was you Bella. He thinks I walked in on him." I felt a weight lift from my body.

"Thanks Alice so much!" I hugged her tight again and felt fresh tears coming down my face.

"Bella don't cry." She whispered.

"Sorry I just didn't know how I was going to face him. I mean I really didn't want him knowing that I'd seen…ya know." Alice smiled like a devil pixie.

"Now get in my damn car and lets go home." I didn't want to go back there tonight but after 15 minutes of pixie pouting and begging I gave in.

The whole ride back to the house Alice bounced in her seat and kept looking at me with this gleam in her eye. I think she has some evil plan and wants me to help either that or she wants to go lesbian and wants me as her bitch. Either way I was having none of it. Walking through the door my heart slammed in my chest Edward was walking around in just his jeans, his tight form fitting jeans and nothing else. His sexy hair was messier than usual and his eyes looked slightly frustrated. He was walking out of the kitchen eating a damned hot pocket.

"Bella lets go try on our new clothes." Alice giggled bouncing. Her voice brought his attention to us and my eyes met his. Green and brown colliding.

His eyes turned a little darker and I noticed his sexy half smile came into play.

"Plan didn't work?" He asked in that sinful voice of his.

"I even got a freaking haircut." I told him with a small smile.

"Really? Poor baby Bella, I couldn't tell with it in a pony tail let me see?" I automatically took my hair down fluffing it out a little. His made a little noise in his throat and walked closer to me lightly brushing his hand through my hair. "Very pretty. Very soft. Just like you baby bear." He told me with a smile.

"Thanks." I blushed and whispered looking at the floor.

"Bellaaaaaaaa." Alice drug my attention back to her holding up bags of clothes. Don't get me wrong I love the pixie but Edward was touching me and calling me pretty so I kind of wanted to hit her with something at that moment. Edward just laughed took the last bite of his hot pocket and grabbed up a ton of the bags and started walking up the stairs.

"Come on baby before she burst a blood vessel in her little head. Time to play Bella Barbie." He laughed and I groaned. But I also noticed it was the first time he called me baby without making me feel like a little kid. Hmmm.

….

Sunday dawned bright the sun warming my face. Alice was bouncing in her sleep and I had to laugh. Last night had ended up on a brighter note than it started. Edward, my obsession took pity on me and text messaged Jasper who snuck out of his house to come hang out with us. So, we ended up piled in the living room watching movies. Alice and Jasper curled up on the love seat lost in their own world. I don't think they even saw the film they just put their foreheads together and stared at each other. It was strangely intimate and it felt as if they were talking without words.

Edward and I vegged out on the sofa. Knowing my love for vampire films and Alice's fear scary movies he made a compromise and popped in Dracula Dead and Loving It the movie was freaking hilarious. We laughed at the same parts and kicked and played with each other on the sofa. At one point he grabbed my ankle and whispered "I come to suck your blood." And blew a fucking raspberry against it. I laughed so hard I kicked him in the chest because he was to close. Which only egged him into coming at me again and again. He made popcorn and we threw it at Alice and Jasper in an attempted to get their attention because apparently our laughing wasn't loud enough. Then we threw it at each other trying to play catch with our mouths. After the movie went off it was close to 2 am so Edward offered the sofa up to Jasper who accepted it. He then told Alice to march upstairs which she laughingly did. He then surprised the shit out of me by throwing me in a fireman's lift over his shoulder and carrying me up to bed. There he tucked me in clothes in all kissed me forehead and whispered, "Goodnight baby I'm glad your home." And left. I sighed and looked at Alice who was smiling like a fool. I didn't even have the heart to get up and change I wanted to stay where Edward left me, warm and cuddly in bed.

"Girls time to get up!" Carlisle called through the door. Alice and I both groaned before looking at each other and giggling. Goofy grins graced both of our faces as we got up and about. I showered first and grabbed old sweats and a t-shirt to wear. Alice showered and put on full makeup and a pair of designer jeans and a baby doll top.

We went downstairs together to find everyone in the kitchen. Aunt Esme was cooking homemade waffles, yum. Emmett and Rose were making out, gross. Edward and Carlisle, we talking about the camping trip the next weekend. Friday night was the first football game of the season, the next morning we were all going to go camping because there was no school Monday. Somehow, I was getting out of camping. Well I could at least dream.

"Good morning girls." Esme smiled a little happy tear in her eye at the sight of us all together. I walked over and hugged her which she returned,

"I'm so glad your home Bella." She whispered into my ear and I nodded. I was glad to be home.

"BELLS!" Emmett realizing, I was there ran over to give me a bone crushing bear hug.

"Em can't breathe." I got out barely and Rose laughed. I smiled when Jasper came through the door. He kissed the top of Alice's head and gave her the warmest smile. Her little face broke into the happiest grin ever. Esme and Carlisle shared a small smile over the wonders of young love and I felt their love for each other in that smile as well.

"So, what are the plans for the day?" Emmett asked still holding me against him.

"Family day. We're going to play games and barbeque." Carlisle told him and Em smiled back.

"Bella would you like to invite Charlie over?" Esme asked me and I nodded.

"Yes, I think he would enjoy it." I told her honestly. I felt bad leaving Charlie alone again though I'm sure he actually prefers it.

"Wicked that means football!" Emmett bellowed and I rolled my eyes. I heard Edward's soft chuckle and I turned to grin at him.

"Hey what about doing this down at La Push since it will be too cold before long to go?" I toss out thinking about a fun day at the beach, and a shirtless Edward.

"La Push?" Edward asked from behind me.

"The Quileute Reservation, we like to go to First Beach and hang out." Em answered before I could.

"Bella we can swim!" Alice squealed bouncing again. I swear Emmett fell over laughing at that.

"Bella doesn't swim she sinks." Jeesh thanks Rose.

"Umm yea water, me, only friends at bath time." I tried to joke away my embarrassment.

"Don't worry Bella we won't let you get hurt." Edward assured me with a small laugh.

"Ha. Let us look at the facts Edward a) there are going to be flying balls b) fire from the grill and if I know Em a bonfire c) swimming. Chances are I will walk away with at least one new injury. It's the law of Bella." I told his beautiful green eyes that were dancing with laughter. Honestly there were the only things I could see right now.

"Bella, Bella, Bella let us reexamine those facts. A) One flying football that we won't let near you. B) As if we would let you catch on fire." At this point we were standing nose to nose his hand on my cheek, holy crap, "C) If you decided to get in the water, I promise not to leave your side little Bella." I stood there frozen I forgot about everyone else in the room, "Breathe Bella."

"Ok." I wasn't sure what I agreed to.

"Ok." He laughed gently. "Now from the way Alice is bouncing I think she wants to play Bella Barbie; I suggest just giving in to make life easier on all of us."

"Yippy!" Alice squealed pulling me out of my daze. Oh, fuck he dazzled me into something. Next second I felt Alice tugging me up the stairs.

"Bells I'll call Charlie for you." I heard Emmett bellow.

"Ok, thanks." I mumbled.

"Poor Bella." Alice laughed as we walked into our room. "Edward turned up his level of persuasion. Back in Chicago my friends used to refer to his eyes as panty droppers. One look and you want to drop your panties. Not that I wanted to hear it but I've seen him turn it on girls before but never at that high of a level. I have this feeling you have no idea what you have agreed to." She laughed harder at my nod. "Come on we'll get changed and I'll try and protect you from all that is my brother." I rolled my eyes and laughed.

"Right Alice we both know I'm screwed and not in the good way." Her little mouth fell open in shock and then she fell over laughing so hard I was worried she'd hurt herself.

"Bella, I love you." She laughed, "Now let's get you into something cute and go to the beach." And with that I was stuffed and shoved and pulled into so many different directions as Alice put me in outfit after outfit until she came up with the perfect one. Then my hair had to be shined and pulled into a sweet pony tail with a cute curl coming out the bottom.

…

That's how I came to be standing at La Push beach in a pair of khaki shorts and a pink t-shirt with a pink tank-kinni underneath and a pair of pink flip flops. Rose smiled when she had seen the outfit and Emmett complained the shorts were too short. Edward and Jasper seemed to agree since they said we had plenty of time for me to go change. I declined. The way Edward's eyes popped out of his head at the sight of my naked legs I knew there was no way I was going to hide them today.

"Bells." Charlie said coming up and giving me an awkward one-armed hug.

"Hi Dad." I smiled, "So Chief Swan you gonna school these little boys in the ways of the pig skin?" I asked my dad knowing he used to be the best at FHS.

"You know it kiddo. Though from what Clapp tells me Edward here has a killer arm." He nodded at Edward who gave my favorite grin.

"Dad trust me Edward doesn't need you to feed his overly large ego." I taunted my green eyed sex God with a smile as I said that.

"Bella, Bella, Bella," He used his velvet sex voice as he said my name, my poor bathing suit bottoms have become the latest victim to my reaction to Edward, "are you saying I don't have a good arm? I'm crushed baby bear." He had walked closer to me as he said this a devious smile on his face. I knew I was in trouble and that I should run but I couldn't move.

"Umm your arm." I mumbled and he gave a low sexy laugh.

"My arm what Bella?" He taunted leaning in closer to me.

"Arm." Was all I squeaked out.

"Tut tut little Bella." Suddenly I was thrown over Edward's right shoulder his hand reached up and popped my ass, "Now Bella what about my arm?"

I heard Emmett and Jasper laughing the quick glimpse I got of my dad told me he was torn between laughing and getting out his gun. I couldn't form any words and I never wanted to be put down.

"Edward Anthony Cullen but Bella down this moment." Carlisle told his son in a firm voice however his eyes were dancing with laughter.

"Sorry Dad, not until my little Bella admits I have the best arm she's ever seen." Oh, damn Edward you have the best everything I've ever seen, is all I could think.

"Arm." I got out again and I felt Edward laughing.

"Yes, Bella arm." He taunted me again.

"Son really put her down, maybe you don't have the best arm she's ever seen son." Carlisle taunted his son, damn its genetic.

I felt my body slowly sliding down Edward's every muscle touching me his strong hands in complete control. When I was on my feet his face was in front of mine his green eyes sparkling and slightly darker than before. "Is that what it is sweetheart, is there another arm you put before mine?"

"Umm no?" I didn't mean it as a question shit.

"You're not sure?" He smiled a little and put my hand on his right arm, his throwing arm. "Is there?"

"No." I sighed the strength of his bicep under my hand making my knees weak.

"So, mine is the best. Thank you, sweet Bella." He kissed the tip of my nose. "Now let's put you someplace safe so we can play ball." He laughed and walked me over to one of the chairs we brought with us placing me beside Aunt Esme a good distance from where the guys were going to be playing. "Here hang on to this for me." The next thing I knew his white t-shirt was over his head and in my hands and his chest was bare, the 8 pack cause damn that's a ripped abdomen on display. FUCK my poor bathing suit.

"Ok." I breathed out and he winked and ran to join the other guys. I watched the muscles in his back firm and his ass in those tight jeans begging for my hands to grab it.

"Bella sweetheart breathe." I heard my Aunt whisper gently in my ear. A small smile on her face.

"Ugh!" I groaned.

"Trust me dear I know Carlisle was just as bad as his son at that age." She laughed a little at the memory. "And before you say it, I know you and Edward are not dating, so it's different than Carlisle and I at that age, but it's so cute to watch my little girl with her first crush." She hugged me gently to her side.

"Aunt Esme really Edward is just a friend, he treats me the same as Jasper does."

"So, Jasper Hale picks you up smacks your butt and hands you pieces of his clothing off of his body? Bella please, Edward might not realize it yet because he is stubborn but trust me, he doesn't think of you the same way that Jasper does." I gave a very unlady like snort.

"BELLA!" I heard a familiar voice scream my name and I turned to see a giant Native American boy running at me.

"Jacob!" I ran over to hug him. Sweet little Jacob Black. My father's best friend Billy's son. He was such a cute and sweet kid.

"Wow Bells whatcha doing here?" I smiled.

"It's a Mensa meeting Jake." I snarked back at him.

"Hahaha." He gave a sarcastic chuckle.

"Just having a family day with Aunt Esme and Dad." He smiled as he looked at Charlie playing football with the guys.

"Who's the new people?"

"Oh, that's my uncle Carlisle, he married Aunt Esme and those are his kids Alice and Edward." I told my old friend.

"Ahhh she's a tiny one." I nodded and he laughed. We sat down on an old log and started talking. He was filling me in on his sisters and their lives and on this girl, he was starting to date named Leah. Jacob was an affectionate guy he liked to touch and pat my knee or shoulder. Sitting close on the log he pulled me into his side and sighed. "Bells you need to get down here more often, I miss my bestie." I laughed when he said that like a girl.

"Bella." I looked up into the murderous eyes of Edward. "Are you ready to go swimming?" I didn't have time to answer. Edward grabbed my hand and began walking me towards the water. I looked back and saw Alice roll her eyes and giggle.

"Edward are you ok?" His voice had been hard and he seemed to be angry.

"Yea, just hot." He answered curtly.

"Ok." I whispered. I was both scared and turned on. He stopped suddenly and turned to look at me.

"Sweet Bella, my angel doesn't worry I will never let anything bad happen to you." He pulled me into a hug and I held tight. I know he thought I was scared of swimming and was trying to comfort me but I was taking advantage. His smell filled me his body hot and hard pressed into mine I was in heaven; I was home and I never wanted to let go.

"Bella lets go over there and slip out of these clothes." Alice grabbed me out of Edward's arms and I wanted to crush the pixie. She pulled Rose and I behind some bushes to slip out of our day clothes into our suits.

"What the hell Bella?" Rose smiled and asked.

"What?" I had no clue.

"Ok so for about half an hour your talking to Jacob all leaning into him and smiling and Edward starts throwing harder and hitting harder playing ball. Then Jake hugs you and Edward goes primitive caveman and drags off the little woman. Of course, lets add in the fact that he's been touching you all damn day and watching you like a hawk. What the hell is up?" Rose demanded.

"I honestly don't know." I cried sinking to my ass and pulling my knees to my chest.

"Bella my brother is an idiot." Alice chimed in. "Clearly he likes you but he still wants to see you as a child because deep down in his subconscious he knows that when he gives into his feelings, he can't man whore anymore."

"Yea Bella I have to agree with Alice."

"Guys Edward doesn't like me like that, he likes me as the kid who lives in his house." I think I whined that oh well.

"Bella, I thought the guy was going to kill Jacob Black. Clearly the way to break through Edward is to make him jealous. If he sees you with another guy, he can't deny that you're of dating age and it kills some of his internal argument." Rose told me bluntly.

"That's it!" Alice squealed. "We get Bella a boyfriend and drive Edward nuts with jealousy so he'll ask her out instead!" I rolled my eyes and shook my head. Clearly, they didn't understand.

"Pfft now we have to figure out how to stop Em from killing both the jealousy guy and Edward." Rose said dryly.

"Please if we make jealousy guy bad enough then Edward will look like a good choice." Alice interjected.

"Ladies I love you but this is stupid really. Edward doesn't see me like." I said pathetically.

"Girls drop those pants and hurry the heck up!" Emmett bellowed.

"Stuff it big bear." Rose bellowed right back.

"Rosie baby." Em whined.

"Emmett." Rose gave him the keep it up and no sex for a week voice and we heard him walk away from the bushes mumbling under his breath and we all giggled.

"Let's go swim." Alice said between her giggles.

"Ugh!" I groaned.

…

The water was cool around my body and Edward was hot on my skin. Laying partially underneath me in the water trying to keep me secure as he teaches me how to float. I wanted to stay this way forever his hands on my ribs his warm breath in my ear as he keeps whispering how well I'm doing. Not once had he let my face slip under, not once had he splashed me or scared me the way Emmett would do if he was trying to teach me how to swim.

Not once did he let me close to Jake who was swimming with us no matter how often Jake tried to come over to talk to me. We'd been like this for almost an hour the water and Edward stimulating my skin making me burn. I mentally willed him to slide his hand lower, to touch me and give me some relief. Maybe take me in the bushes and umm take me.

"Kids foods on." Charlie yelled at us and I inwardly groaned. Damn.

"Hold tight Bella." Edward whispered in my ear and lifted me bridal style in his strong arms, water glistening on his hair and down his body oh fuck me now Edward. He carried me to the shore and took the towel Alice handed him lowered me and wrapped my body and smiled. "I told you I wouldn't let you drown." I playfully slapped his chest and batted my lashes at him.

"Oh, be still my beating heart my hero saved me from drowning." I giggled and he playfully growled so I took off in a light run towards Charlie only to have Edward run up behind me and grab me up to him. I wiggled and giggled against his body. I felt something hard in my lower back and my knees almost went out from underneath me.

"Be still my beautiful little Bella." He groaned into my ear his hands slipping slightly up to under my breast pulling me tighter against his erection.

Lightly he brushed the undersides of my breast my nipples harder than I've ever felt them. Thankfully we were pointed away from everyone and Emmett was getting his feed on or Edward and I would be busted. Edward leaned his head into mine and his breathing was hard. "Bella." He whispered.

"Guys food." Carlisle reminded us and Edward groaned even louder into my head and I had to giggle.

"You think this is funny I have to face our family with this little problem in my pants." He growled at me.

"It doesn't feel that little to me." I whispered and he gave a sexy laugh.

"Stay in front of me as much as you can until I get myself under control." I nodded.

Walking in front of Edward towards the food my face red as a tomato I grabbed the plate Alice handed me and Edward grabbed the one she handed him. The evil pixie gave a knowing smile and I rolled my eyes. When we sat down Edward kept his towel laying across his lap and I giggled again to myself.

"Minx" he grumbled beside me.

"Poor Edward." I whispered back with an evil grin.

"Don't make me spank you." He laughed back and sadly the idea turned me on even more so I turned even redder in the face and he laughed out loud. "My kinky baby Bella." He whispered into my ear.

"Perv." I whispered right back and his sexy smirk and wink made my day. Unfortunately, or fortunately depending on how you saw it the others started drawing us into their conversation about next weekend with Friday's game and the camping trip and the rest of the day past quickly.

As we packed up, I couldn't find my flip flops anywhere so Edward gave me a piggy back ride to the car. As he sat me in the car, he kissed the tip of my nose and winked at me. I wanted so bad to grab him and pull him into my arms and kiss him. But it was over to quickly and he was in the driver seat taking us home.

The events of the day wore me out and after a quick shower I crawled into bed pulling the sheet up to my chin with a smile I fell deeply asleep. That night the only thing I dreamt of was Edward Cullen.
