First things first….always….

Disclaimer: I do not, I repeat, DO NOT own "Twilight" or "Funny Face." I think I'll go off and cry in the corner somewhere now.

Okay, hello my lovely readers! Yep, I have finally updated. I hope this one is a bit better than Chapter 5. There is quite a bit of Alice and Bella dialogue to begin with but I did give you a bit of Edward and Bella goodness towards the end (no kisses but lots of wonderful innuendo). I have to warn you that the F bomb is dropped in this chapter, so I ask for your forgiveness ahead of time if that word offends. It just seemed appropriate for the scene. Alright, enough of my rambling because you want to read the story right?

READ ON!

Alice led me around the corner taking Edward from my view. How could I miss someone so much when I just met them? I didn't even really know much about him and I wasn't sure when I would be able to see him again. I hoped it would be soon so we could get to know each other better. That is, if we could keep from attacking each other and ending up in full make out mode. Not that I was complaining, he was more than welcome to attack me like that as much as he wanted. The direction of my thoughts threw me into a vivid daydream involving me, Edward and those, oh so heavenly, lips. I was completely lost to my surroundings until I finally noticed Alice snapping her fingers in front of my face.

"Huh?" Was my brilliant response.

"Wow, earth to Bella! I thought I was going to have to slap you for a second there. Where were you anyway? Edwardland maybe?"

We started walking again and she laughed as I blushed furiously.

"Look at that blush! I was right! You are so far gone honey! Ooh…Edward and Bella sittin' in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G. First comes….."

"Hush Alice," I said stopping her little song, "or I swear I'll run again. Only this time, I'll never come back."

"Sorry," she said smiling sheepishly at me and then made a zipping motion across her lips.

"It's okay. It's not like you're completely wrong or anything. I am completely hooked. Is that weird though? I mean we just met."

We came to a stop in front of the door marked Prep Room and Alice grabbed my shoulders, turning me to look at her.

"It is definitely not weird, Bella. Here," she said moving me and opening the door.

"Let's go in here and I'll tell you why I say that."

We stepped inside and I wasn't sure whether to be in absolute awe of all the various beauty tools or feel like I was stepping into cosmetics hell to be tortured.

"Come on Bella. Have a seat."

Alice led me to sit in the huge and scary, to me, beautician's chair while she sat on the counter facing me.

"Let me tell you a little story about how I met my boyfriend, Jasper. Last year, I volunteered my time to a fundraiser fashion show at the local university, where Jasper happens to be a counselor and history professor. I went to the wrong building and had no idea where to go. I walked around that building for ages looking for someone to help but it was like it was deserted. I was about to give up and just try driving around again when I noticed an office door cracked open. Now, I'm never one to get nervous really but for some reason my heart was pounding the closer I got to that door. I knocked and then walked in when I heard this deep and soothing voice say, "Come in." When I stepped into that office it was like my whole universe shifted. I knew, the moment I laid eyes on Jasper, that he was the one my heart had been searching for. Most people would probably think I'm crazy for feeling that way and that there is no such thing as love at first sight. I know they're wrong though because it happened for me. I have no doubt the same thing is happening for you and Edward. He's a great guy Bella and I'm not just saying that because I'm his sister. Even though it probably does make me a bit partial," she said chuckling.

"I am convinced that you could search the world over and never find anyone as devoted and noble as Edward. He's been that way since we were kids. He was literally a grown gentleman trapped in a little boy's body."

We both laughed at that. I was really enjoying hearing about Edward from someone who had known him his whole life. It helped me to see how wonderful this man was who had, basically, barged into my life and my heart.

"He doesn't give his heart easily, I want you to know that Bella. I know it may not seem like it with how fast things are happening for the two of you, but it's true. He has obviously seen something in you that brings out a whole new side of him, a side I'm sure is only for you. I've never seen him so happy, so lively."

"Really?" My heart soared at what she had said. Could he really care about me? Could this be more than a physical attraction?

"Yes, I'm so happy for both of you. We've all waited so long for someone to make him this happy, to bring him this kind of joy that only love can bring. Don't ever worry that you're moving too fast, not with this, not with him. Sometimes, it just happens and you have to embrace it. Just trust me, I have a knack for knowing when things are meant to be," she said tapping her temple and winking at me.

"Okay Alice, I'll take your word for it."

"You do that. I would never steer you in the wrong direction."

I smiled at her and she grinned back, mischievously.

"So….has he kissed you yet?"

"Alice!"

I could see the extreme blush that was now coloring my face. I wish I didn't get so easily embarrassed.

"He so did, look at your face! Was it good? Were there sparks? Was there tongue?"

"God Alice, this is your brother you're asking these questions about."

"Adopted brother, Bella dear."

I shrugged.

"Same difference."

She giggled then and said, "you two are a lot alike. Edward said the same exact thing yesterday after Rose, jokingly, told him he was only our adopted brother. Anyway, I'm assuming you enjoyed kissing him?"

I wanted to say, God yes! I want more! But I wasn't about to do that, not in front of Alice. I had a feeling I would never live that one down.

"Yes, I did. It was unlike any kiss I've ever experienced. I didn't even realize a kiss could feel like that, or be so incredible and intense."

"Yeah, if the kissing is that good just imagine what the…."

"Whoa, stop right there Alice. We are nowhere near ready for that step and I'm not going to talk to you about that anyway."

"Fine, fine. Let's get started on this makeover so you can go find lover boy and take advantage of him in the janitor's closet."

I rolled my eyes at her but, I had to admit, it wasn't a bad idea.

"So, what are you doing to me first?"

"Well, I'm not doing anything to you. I am going to take you to that little room in the back and you are going to get a wax."

"WHAT?! A wax? No Alice! I am not going to have the hair viciously ripped from my body."

"Relax Bella. We have this great numbing agent. Sure, it will still be uncomfortable but it will help out with keeping the pain at bay a lot. Trust me, you are going to want to be waxed my dear. I mean, you will eventually have to model in a swimsuit, probably a bikini and it's important to be all waxed for that."

"A bikini? God, this keeps getting worse."

"It won't be that bad. We'll bring in lots of choices and you can choose the one you feel most comfortable in, okay? I don't want you to feel nervous and uncomfortable about any of this. I know it's a lot to take in now. Just take a deep breath. It's all going to be fine."

I took a deep breath but it didn't seem to help much at all.

"Fine, lead me to my torture. Let's get this over with."

She just chuckled and rolled her eyes at me as she led me to, what I call, the Dungeon of Doom and Torture.

EPOV
God, were they ever going to be finished. I had already called Rose three times and she was getting really annoyed with me which she didn't even try to hide the third time I called.

"Edward, I told you I would let you know when she's finished with this part. It took a little while before they actually got started. I promise to let you know the second you can come and see her. Oh, and if you don't want that cell phone to be part of your anatomy permanently, I suggest you not call me again."

Then she hung up on me. I didn't call again because, honestly, Rose terrifies me a bit and I don't doubt she would do exactly as she says. After all of my attempts at occupying my mind had failed, I had taken to pacing back and forth in front of the window like some caged lion. I had just decided that I was going to head down to my studio for a bit when my phone started ringing. I didn't recognize the number. I almost didn't answer but I found myself compelled to see who it was.

"Hello?"

"Hi Edward."

"Bella?"

"Yep, I got your number from Rose. She tells me that you really want to come down here and keep me company."

"Um…yeah. If you want me to, that is. I don't want to make you uncomfortable."

I heard the background noise start to fade and then the closing of a door.

She laughed but it was a low, sultry laugh that traveled directly south on my body. She is officially going to be the death of me.

"I don't think you could ever make me uncomfortable, Edward."

There was that sultry tone again.

"On the contrary, every time I've seen you, you have made me very, very comfortable."

Fuck! Who knew shy, sweet, quick witted Bella could be such a vixen. This was doing nothing to alleviate my raging desire for her. Where was a cold shower when you needed one? She was driving me crazy here but I decided to play along with her.

"Comfortable huh?"

"Very."

"Well, Bella, I think I could think of many other ways to make you even more comfortable."

I heard her take a sharp intake of breath before responding.

"Oh really? Why don't you come down here and show me then?"

She was good, really good. And I was completely turned on.

"Bella, love, you might not want all those people around for this particular kind of comfort," I said groaning in discomfort and disappointment because she had me really worked up by now.

"Well, you are definitely right about that. They don't need a show, do they?"

There was a long pause and then she giggled.

"Hey, Edward. Do you know if there are any janitor's closets on this floor?"

So, how was it? Hope it didn't disappoint. I'm not sure whether or not to write a janitor's closet scene. Obviously, there will not really be a full blown lemon there (I'm not even sure I have it in me to write one, lol) but it might be fairly close. I was thinking about writing it as an outtake. What do ya'll think? Do you want a janitor's closet scene at the beginning of next chapter or would you rather it be done as an outtake? I have a feeling that some of you wouldn't mind seeing it next chapter but I want all of my reader's to be happy. So let me know when you review. I know it seems like they are moving awfully fast but that's just the way it goes sometimes. I may throw in some drama to slow things down later but I haven't really decided. I may just let it be all happy, all the time, lol. Besides, fiction is supposed to be more fun than the real world right? Well….I'm off to work now. Thank you all for your continued alert adds and reviews. They are near and dear to my heart. Review if you like, I always enjoy reading them and replying back to each of you. Until next chapter……
