I'm sorry it took so long to update. I don't know why, but it took a while to write. This is my longest chapter, and nothing really happens but there's a random surprise at the end :D lol i hope you like it! :D enjoy!

"Rosalie! I can't grab it!"

"Here, I'll get it Alice."

BANG…CLUNK…SLAM

"Oops! Bella's asleep."

I woke up to sounds of banging and clunking with everyone talking.

I stirred and opened my eyes to see the hotel room wide open and Alice running around the room with clothes in her hand. I rubbed my eyes and tried to stretch by I hit something next to me.

"Oh, sorry Edward." I blushed.

He chuckled, "It's okay."

"Bella!" Alice lunged at me. "Oh I'm so happy your alright!"

"Hey Alice." I said getting up. She hugged me and then bent back to whatever she was doing.

I turned to Edward for answers, "Uh, what is she doing?"

Still sitting on the bed he looked at me and sighed, "I've been sitting here for the past twenty minutes watching her run around crazy filling the closet and drawers up with clothes."

Oh my gosh clothes! I completely forgot I needed those.

"Thank me later Bella, I knew you would need them. I got you clothes too Edward." Alice said running by putting some more clothes away.

He raised an eyebrow and tried to talk but Alice cut him off.

"Yes, even underwear. I picked stuff out I thought Bella would like you in."

Edward and I looked at each other and laughed. "Thanks Alice."

"Bella!"

I looked out the door to see Rosalie standing in the hallway with Emmett.

"Hey Rosalie!" I went over and gave my sister a big hug. "What's up?" I asked them.

Rosalie rolled her eyes. "Emmett's complaining about being hungry."

"I am. And the kitchen downstairs is closed, so no room service." Emmett whined.

"What time is it?" I asked.

Emmett looked at his phone, "7:02."

"It's kind of late, I don't really feel like leaving the hotel, but you guys could go out though." I wasn't in the mood tonight, I needed some down time.

"We don't want to leave you Bella." Rosalie said.

Jasper and Pierce came out from Jasper's room.

"What's going on guys?" Jasper asked.

"Deciding what to do for dinner." Edward answered walking out of our room into the hall.

"Hey my room has a kitchen, why don't we eat in?" Pierce suggested.

"Sounds good to me." Jasper said.

Rosalie looked at Emmett, "We could go to the store and get some food to cook."

"Yeah, I'll do the cooking." I turned to face Edward. "You want to help me?"

He smiled and shrugged. "Sure."

"Sounds good to me!" Alice yelled from inside my closet.

Jasper looked worried and turned to me, "Is she still not done?"

I laughed, "Nope."

"Okay well it's decided, Rosalie and Emmett will go to the store and Bella and Edward will cook. Rosalie, is it okay if I come…I need to pick up a few things too." Pierce said finalizing our evening plans.

"Of course." She said.

"I want to go too." Jasper said, "Alice do you want to go with?" He called in to her.

She popped out into the hallway with us. "Sure. I just finished."

Pierce turned to face Edward and I. "It might be an hour or too since we don't know where we are going, but is there anything specific you want to cook?"

I looked up at Edward and he shook his head, "Just bring anything you want and I'll so what I can make." I told him.

"Okay, see you in a bit."

They all walked down the hallway and Edward and I headed back into our room.

The first thing I noticed when I walked into the room was how full the closet was.

"I did not know I had this many clothes…" I stood there looking through all them.

"Well, you have more in the drawers over here too." Edward was digging around looking for something.

"What are you looking for?"

He stopped looking through it. "Nothing really, just seeing what she brought."

I laughed, "Oh." I walked out of the closet and went and laid back down on the bed. "We didn't have a lot living at Cushing, now with the Royal Express card Alice has gone shopping mad."

Edward chuckled and walked into the bathroom. "Well, Alice fully stocked the bathroom too."

I got up and looked inside to see perfumes, shampoos, soaps, candles, makeup, hair supplies and more.

"Honestly, how long does she think we are going to be here?" Edward asked me.

"Even if it was one night she still would of done this I'm sure."

I walked back out and slumped down on the bed. "What should we do to pass the time?"

Edward headed over and sat on the bed next to mine. "Movie?"

I shrugged my shoulders, "Sure, why not."

He got back up and walked over to the large plasma screen T.V., grabbed the remote, and then walked back to the bed he had been sitting on. "What kind of movie do you want?"

I thought about it a second before answering, "Not sure, what's on?"

He turned it on and started scrolling through the selections. "Uh…Twenty Seven Dresses, Just Like Heaven, Indiana Jones, The Prince and Me…"

I laughed at the last one. "The Prince and Me? It kind of fits."

"Okay." He chuckled, "What's it about anyway?"

"Just watch."

The movie started and I leaned against the head board of the bed trying to get comfortable. Edward stayed sitting cross legged in the middle of his bed. As the movie played through something caught his attention. "Ha, his name's Edvard? Sounds kind of familiar…don't you think?"

I turned to him and laughed, "Why, does he remind you of anyone in particular?"

He must of thought I was being serious because he turned back to the screen and said, "I guess not."

"Okay Eddie." I giggled.

He turned to me and laughed too. "See, I told you."

The movie was almost over when we heard a group of loud people stomping down the hotel hallways arguing.

"Seriously Emmett, I don't understand why you had to call everyone Mate that you saw, you seriously are a 'royal' pain in the butt!"

"Well you know what Alice, if you would of just let me stop and pet that kangaroo we saw I wouldn't of felt the need to bother you!"

"You don't just go and pet wild kangaroos Emmett!"

A door slammed and their voices became muffled, we realized they probably went into Pierce's room so we decided to join them.

We opened the door to find Pierce on the couch rubbing his temples.

"Was it that bad?" I asked Jasper who was helping unload the food.

"Hey Mates!" Emmett shouted once he saw us.

I turned back to Jasper, "I think that answers my question."

Jasper just nodded while Alice slapped her forehead and stomped out of the kitchen grabbing Jasper as she went, who willingly followed.

"What did you guys get?" I asked peering into the grocery bags.

"What didn't you guys get?" Edward asked doing the same as me.

Rosalie laughed, "A lot. Do you guys need any help?"

I looked up at my sister, "Nah, we got it. You go sit and watch T.V or something."

"Okay." Rosalie walked off into the room to sit on the couch next to Pierce who seemed somewhat relaxed now.

"Emmett?"

I turned back around to find Edward with a confused expression on his face looking into a bag.

"Yeah bro?" Emmett answered him.

"What is this?" Edward pulled out five or so boxes of Barbie dolls.

Emmett grinned and went around looking in some bags. "It's for these." He turned back to us holding a package of shrimp his hand smiling. "I thought we could have some shrimp on the barbie, you know since we're in Australia and all."

I tried stifling a giggle as Edward lowered his head and pinched the bridge of his nose with his fingers. "Emmett?"

"Yeah?"

"Get out of the kitchen. Right now."

"But Ed--"

Edward held up his stand and pointed to the living room. "Just go."

Emmett looked confused but put down the shrimp and listened to his brother.

After we had all the groceries unpacked Edward and I chose what to cook. While they were at the store they had gotten all sorts of stuff, but nothing for just one meal so the decision was to make sort of a buffet thing. We had some shrimp (without the Barbie dolls), spaghetti and meatballs, nachos, pizza, and some chicken and mashed potatoes. Strange combinations but at least they could choose. For desert there was some ice cream.

XX XXX XX

Once dinner was over everyone went and sat in the living room to watch another movie. It was getting late and I could feel my eyelids slowly closing down over my eyes. Edward was already sitting on the couch when I walked in so I went over and sat down right in his lap.

"I'm tired."

He chuckled and wrapped his arms around me. "Do you want to go to bed?"

I covered my mouth as I yawned and leaned back against his chest. "Not yet."

EPOV:

It wasn't five minutes later that Bella had fallen asleep in my lap. I decided to wait for everyone else to head off to bed before I brought her just in case she woke up.

As I was sitting there watching her sleep I couldn't help but feel upset knowing I had almost lost her. The way she felt in my arms was I feeling I wouldn't ever be able to live without.

Eventually Alice had fallen asleep too, so Jasper carried her off while Rosalie said she wanted to head off to bed also.

Without trying to wake up Bella I carried her to our room and tried setting her down in her bed. She looked so peaceful sleeping that I didn't want to wake her, so tonight I guess she would just have to sleep in her clothes.

One arm was wrapped around my neck while the other was latched onto my shirt. I tried to gently unwrap her arm but the hand that was on my shirt hung on tighter.

"No…" She tried mumbling out but I could barley hear it.

I sat there for a second contemplating on what to do before I tried to pull her off me one more time.

This time her words were louder but still came out in slurs, "No…Ed…Ed…ward sleep…" Her hands grabbed onto me even tighter.

I couldn't help but laugh as I saw how cute she looked. Realizing she wasn't going to let go of me anytime soon I walked over to my bed and sat down. I took off her shoes first before mine and then laid down trying not to wake her.

As soon as we both hit the bed her gripped loosened a little, but not much. I laid on my side and Bella seemed to scoot in closer to me. Tonight may be the most relaxing sleep ever knowing I have Bella in my arms and as soon as we are married it will be like this forever.

BPOV:

I woke up the next morning still in my clothes. I sat up as the bathroom door opened to see Edward shirtless with a pair of jeans on and his hair wet.

Oh gosh…Wow.

I had to shake my head a little to clear my thoughts before I talked.

"Morning Bella." He said as he put on a tight fitting gray t-shirt from the drawer. As he pulled it over his head his stomach muscles flexed showing his perfect six pack and it messed up his hair making him look even more dreamy. He smiled at me and his deep green eyes twinkled.

Once again I had to shake my head to clear my thoughts. "Hi Edward. Uh, why am I still in my clothes…and in your bed?"

He chuckled, "You wouldn't let go of me last night."

I looked down and blushed. "Sorry."

He laughed again and then stopped. "Are you okay?"

"Uh, uh yeah…it's just…"

He raised an eyebrow with confusion.

I felt the red burning my cheeks even more. "You caught me off guard coming out of the bathroom with your shirt off."

He looked at me and started laughing again. "My apologies. Next time I'll warn you when I'm half naked so you can prepare yourself."

My cheeks reddened even more and I threw my head down on the pillow. "Shut up."

The door flew open and Emmett came charging in.

"What are we doing today guys?!"

"Don't you knock?" Edward growled.

Emmett stopped and turned around to face the door then lifted his hand up and knocked.

Knock…knock

"So what are we doing today guys?!"

Edward and I rolled our eyes while Emmett laughed at himself. A few seconds later Rosalie, Alice, and Jasper were in our room.

"Hey guys!" Alice sang cheerfully. "What are we doing today?"

Jasper smiled to himself. "Why don't we go to the beach, I think Emmett wanted some 'seashells'."

"Oh I love seashells!" Alice jumped up and clapped her hands together.

Edward, Jasper and I started laughing while Emmett slightly blushed.

"Are we missing something?" Rosalie asked looking at Emmett.

Jasper was about to speak but Emmett glared at him and he stopped.

"No." Emmett said looking at Rosalie trying to smile sweetly.

Edward looked back at me, "Do you want to go to the beach Bella?"

I shrugged, "Yeah that's fine with me. I don't think I have a ba--"

"Top drawer to the right in the closet Bella!" Alice yelled running back to her room to get ready. "It's peachy colored!"

In a flash both Rosalie and Alice were gone getting dressed for a day at the beach. I hopped out of bed and headed to the closet to pick out an outfit. I decided on wearing my bathing suite under my clothes, and bringing an extra change just in case we decided to go somewhere. For clothes I picked out a pair of jean shorts with a brown and white tank top that I thought would match the peach color. Then I grabbed my brown flip flops and my tan beach bag. Alice didn't forget anything…After that I headed to the top right drawer and of course right on top was the peach bikini Alice ordered me to wear.

I don't remember buying this…Alice, duh.

It's strange how shopping mad Alice could get with just one credit card. I picked it up and examined it.

You have got to be kidding me?! This…this…thing won't cover anything! No way!

It was a string bikini with a halter top. The top was white with pinkish peach sequins on it while the bottom was pure peachy pink.

It's cute…just not for me.

I looked at my cell phone and saw I only had about fifteen minutes to get ready so I quickly grabbed the bathing suite giving myself a mental reminder just to keep my clothes on over it and yell at Alice for being so absurd.

Once I was out of the shower and ready to go Edward and I headed down to the lobby to meet everyone.

"Do you know where we are going Edward?"

"Uh…not really. Pierce said something about a beach a couple of miles down the road." (Sorry I don't know what Australia is like so if there isn't a beach a couple of miles from Sydney, go with it :D)

"Where is Pierce anyway?"

"Business of course." Edward rolled his eyes. "I hope it's not like that for me."

I became sad at the thought of Edward always working. "Yeah, me too."

We eventually made it down to the lobby where everyone was waiting.

I immediately walked up to Alice. "Alice! What where you thinking?!"

She grinned evilly. "Bella, I know it looks great on you so just shut up."

I rolled my eyes and walked away.

"Oh Bella, here are some new sunglasses we got you!"

I turned back to Alice who was holding a pair of white and brown Juicy Couture glasses that said Juicy on the side. I had to admit, they were quite cute.

"How did you know they would match my outfit so well?"

"Oh Bella, I just know things like that."

I don't know how…but Alice really did know everything.

"Are we ready yet?" Emmett was starting to get impatient waiting for us.

"Yeah, let's go." I told him.

We headed out of the hotel to the car when I noticed I didn't see the older green jeep Pierce had driven us here anywhere.

"Uh, where's the green jeep?" I asked Jasper who was leading us to the back of the parking lot.

"That thing? Pf, that thing was old and…and just ugly." He smiled, "We got a newer one."

We finally stopped in front of white lifted jeep wrangler that had the top and doors off.

"We can all fit in this one, and it's more fun." Jasper said getting in. He had originally got in the driver's seat but was forced in the back by Alice.

"Let Rose drive, and then us girls can get the front, while you guys get the back." Alice handed him her beach bag.

Without a single complaint he listened to her order and got in the back in between Emmett and Edward. Up front Alice sat in the middle of Rose and I.

"I don't know where to go so you guys have to yell out the directions to me." Rosalie said speeding out of the hotel parking lot.

Thankfully we got to the beach without any trouble. We pulled up to a parking spot and all jumped out and headed down. The beach was absolutely beautiful. It was so clear and blue. There weren't too many people here which was good, but I could see some surfers out riding the waves.

"Hey Rose, you want to go surfing with me?!" Emmett asked excitedly.

"Uh…I don't really know how to…" She answered sounding nervous.

He grabbed a hold of her hand and pulled her along. "It's okay, I'll teach you."

I looked up at Edward who was walking right beside me. "He knows how to surf right?"

Edward laughed, "Yeah." Then he completely stopped walking and turned to Jasper, "Wait, does he?"

Jasper looked at him for a second and then laughed. "I don't really know…I guess we'll find out."

Poor Rosalie.

We found a spot to lay our blankets and towels down in the sand. Alice put up an umbrella to shade us a little, then she took off her clothes and laid down to tan.

"I'm going to take my shirt off Bella, okay?" Edward said laughing.

I looked up at him and glared, "You don't have to tell me."

"Well, I wanted to prepare you."

I looked down straightening up my towel. "Shut up."

He chuckled to himself, "Hey Jazz, you want to throw the foot ball down by the water?"

"Yeah cool." Jasper said heading down.

Edward turned back around to me before heading off. "You want to come?"

I finally looked back up at him and immediately blushed. "What?" I couldn't remember what he asked me because I was too busy gawking at him.

"You want to come down?"

I didn't answer right away and then finally my brain started to work again. "Oh. Uh…no I'm good."

He laughed and then ran off towards Jasper.

Stupid gorgeous guy, always making me lose track of my thoughts. And he knows it too! He dazzles me on purpose I bet…probably for his own enjoyment.

"Bella take off your clothes. You're at a beach, swim suits only!" Alice said pulling me from my thoughts.

I groaned, "No Alice."

She sat up a little and gave me the 'you better listen to me' glare.

I glared back at her but finally gave in, "I hate you Alice."

She smiled happily, "I know."

I took off my shirt and immediately felt exposed to the world. "This stupid skimpy bikini is so uncomfortable."

"Stop whining Bella." Alice ordered. "When Edward gets back he's going to die."

I rolled my eyes, "Please, he does all the dazzling."

"Wanna bet?" She asked.

I was smarter than that, you never bet against Alice. "No." I huffed.

"Didn't think so." She said smugly.

It wasn't ten minutes later Alice and I sat up from 'tanning'-I don't get tan- when we decided it was too hot for just sitting around.

"I want some le--"

"Oh there's like a food stand thing over there!" Alice cut me off pointing a few yards down the beach. "Let's see what they have."

"Okay, sounds good." I stood up and tried to put my clothes back on over my swim suite but of course Alice stopped me.

"Bella. No."

I grumbled but listened to her anyways, it would just be less painful that way.

As we were walking down Alice got a few looks from some guys playing Frisbee, but she didn't care. We got to the lemonade stand where we saw two cute Aussie boys that worked there.

"Hey ladies, what can we do for you?" The taller blonde said to us.

Alice looked over at me, "What do you want Bella?"

"Um. I'll have some raspberry lemonade."

"Yeah that sounds good, make that two." Alice told them.

"Sure thing ladies." The same blonde guy said.

I had to admit, they were cute…and had that awesome Australian accent. I think I had a problem with falling for guys that had accents.

"So what are your names?" The second blonde boy asked us.

"I'm Alice, and this is my sister Bella."

"Nice to meet you, I'm Pete and this is my friend Avery."

Avery walked back over with our drinks. "Here you go. Two raspberry lemonades. "

"Thanks, how much?" I asked getting my money out from my wallet.

Pete smiled, "On the house."

"Oh, no really it's okay. We should give you something." I never not like paying for something.

"Nope. It's on us."

"Thanks guys." Alice said sweetly.

I picked up my lemonade, "Yeah, thanks."

Just as we were about to go Avery stopped us. "Hey, maybe we'll see you guys around later."

"Maybe." I smiled.

"See-ya guys." Alice said waving as we walked away then she turned to me and giggled. "They were so cute, weren't they Bella?"

I laughed, "Yeah they were. We better go see what the Edward and Jasper are up to, incase they are looking for us."

She wrapped her arm around mine, "Okie-doke."

We were halfway to where our stuff was when we looked out to see two girls in bikinis throwing themselves all over Edward and Jasper.

Alice's mouth fell open with shock, "No." She squinted her eyes and glared at them. "You'd think they would tell those stupid tramps to get lost."

"Yeah, you'd think."

"What do you want to do about this Bella?" Alice asked with an icy tone. "Too bad I don't have my ring on or I would go up and rub it in that girl's face."

"Well I--" I pulled my left hand up and looked at my finger. "Don't. Dang, I took it off this morning because I didn't want to lose it."

Alice looked upset, "Yeah same here."

I stood there thinking for a second. "We could un-strap their swim suites?"

Alice snorted, "They'd probably enjoy it."

"Who? The girls or Edward and Jasper."

"Both."

"I don't think so Alice, Edward and Jasper aren't like that." I told her.

"Yeah, but we can't just sit around here and watch it. I mean look, they probably didn't even notice we left." Alice took another sip of her drink which gave me an idea.

"We could walk up and throw the drinks in their faces."

Alice merely laughed, "Too childish. Besides, I say it would be more rewarding if we did something to the boys and not those…tramps.

"Like what?"

"Hey girls."

We were startled and turned around to see Pete and Avery standing behind us.

"Oh, hey guys." I said trying not to sound angry.

"We're done with work until later this afternoon, would you like to grab something to eat with us? You know, just as friends?" Pete looked directly at me with eyes the color of the ocean.

"Uh, n--" I tried to answer but Alice cut me off.

" We'd love to!"

I looked over at my sister with a confused expression and she gave me one of those 'just go with it' looks.

"Great." Avery said. "There's this neat little restaurant on the beach just a little ways up." He pointed past where our things are. "Would you like to go there?"

Alice smiled sweetly, "Sure." Then she turned to me, "Let's go get our purses and shorts."

I didn't answer but followed Alice's lead as we walked in front of Pete and Avery.

As we were walking I pulled Alice close to me. "What are we doing?!"

"Shh Bella, it's called jealousy."

That was all I needed to hear to understand what was going on.

I looked back at Pete who smiled sweetly at me. Yes, he was cute and all but I was engaged for goodness sakes!

When we got back to where our things were we looked up at Edward and Jasper who didn't even look in our direction. We put on our shorts and grabbed our purses, but when I tried to put my shirt on Alice wouldn't let me.

"Nope. This is a beach restaurant Bella, and besides you with just your bikini top on will make it even more painful for Edward."

I thought about it for a second and was about to put my shirt on when I looked up at one of the tramps who was all over Edward. I turned back to Alice and threw my shirt on the towel. "Let's go."

It took about two minutes for us to get to The Beach Shack. We took a table that was in the back outside. It seemed everyone had their swim suits on eating, it was a really nice relaxed place. Alice and I took the outside aisle seats facing each other with Pete sitting next to me and Avery next to Alice.

"Your server will be here in a few."

"Thanks." Pete said to the man who seated us.

It actually took a while for our waiter to show up. I had my face down reading the menu when he came.

"Hi. My name is Jasper, I'll be your server today. This is Edward, it's his first day so he'll be assisting me."

I shot my head up to see Jasper and Edward standing there in white button up shirts and tan pants. I looked at Edward's face to see him staring at me, looking quite angry. I don't know if it was the fact I was out with another guy, or if it was because I was wearing my bikini top. Probably a combination of the two. Jasper and Alice looked like they were having a silent conversation when Jasper finally said, "What can we get you to drink?"

"Coke please." Avery said completely oblivious to the tension between the waiters and Alice and I.

"I'll take a raspberry smoothie ." Pete said.

Jasper nodded and wrote them down and turned to Alice, "Miss?"

Alice gave him a small glare before answering. "Strawberry smoothie."

Then he turned to me, "Ma'am?"

I looked at Edward who was fuming and was barley able to whisper out. "Just water."

Jasper nodded and said he would be right back.

"So what brings you girls here?" Pete asked making small talk.

Alice and I looked at each other and laughed before I answered, "Just a vacation."

"That's cool." Avery said, "So are you friends?"

"We're sisters, triplets actually." Alice smiled, "Our third sister is out with her fiancée somewhere on the beach."

Pete and Avery looked shocked, "Wow. We would of never guessed." Pete said. "Just because you look so different from each other."

I laughed, "Yeah you should see our sister Rosalie, she's even more of an opposite."

"How so?" Avery asked.

"You know, tall, blonde…complete knockout." I answered.

"Well it seems beauty runs in the family." Pete said smiling at me.

Just then Pete shot up from the table and yelled out in surprise. I looked at him and saw an ice cold raspberry smoothie dripping down his neck and back. I turned around to see Edward with a smug grin of his face.

"Sir, I am so sorry." Edward said sweetly trying to sound innocent picking up the smoothie glass from the floor. "I just tripped walking over here."

Jasper rushed over "upset" from the accident.

"Jasper I'm sorry man." Edward tried apologizing to him.

Jasper put his hand up to stop him. "No problem, accidents happen all the time." He turned to Pete, "But, sir I am sorry for it getting all over you."

"It's okay." Pete said walking away to the bathroom to clean up.

I looked up at Edward who was holding back a laugh.

When Edward handed me my water he looked at my hand. When he looked me in the eyes I saw he looked hurt. Infact, he looked more than hurt. I looked down at my hand too confused and then realized…the ring is not on my finger.

He walked away too quickly before I could explain.

I looked at Alice who noticed what happened but she mouthed to me, 'wait for it'.

I looked at her and mouthed 'huh'?

'just wait'.

Finally when Pete came back Edward brought him a new smoothie and we ordered our dinners. Everything seemed to be going smoothly until Pete and Avery started getting closer.

"So do you girls have boyfriends?"

Alice answered first, "Yes we actually do."

"Where are they?" Pete asked me.

"Oh. Around." I told him.

"Do you think you would get rid of them anytime soon?" Pete asked me again.

"No." Alice and I said at once.

Pete scooted in a little closer to me. "There's going to be this awesome party tonight here at the beach, you want to come?"

I started getting nervous around him. I thought we were here just as friends…he's getting too close.

"Um. No thanks." I tried scooting back a little from him but then he would get closer.

"What about you Alice?" Avery asked her.

I could tell she was getting uncomfortable too. "Nah."

Pete moved his hand under the table and put his hand on my knee. It made me jump a little and he laughed.

"Get your hands off her." The deathly calm and smooth velvety voice came from behind us.

Before I knew what was happening Edward had picked me up from the table and slung me over his shoulder carrying me out of the restaurant.

"Edward! Stop! You're making a scene! Everyone's staring!" I yelled trying to get him to put me down.

He snorted. "I don't think it's me they're staring at, I think it's the fact that this absolute stunning girl doesn't have a shirt on!" He finally came to a stop and put me down. "What were you thinking Bella?!"

Alice was right…he was dazzled…

"Bella!"

I cleared my thoughts. "The same thing you were doing with that…that girl down by the water earlier."

He rolled his eyes. "Please. She wasn't even remotely appealing."

That felt better to know and then I thought of something, "Wait. How the heck did you and Jasper become our waiters?"

"We saw you with those guys walking off so we followed. When we got to the restaurant…never mind, we have connections." His voice was still angry, but I could tell he was calming down. "That's beside the point anyway." He pulled his hands through his untidy bronze hair. "Why did you take your ring off?"

I immediately felt guilty for not telling him earlier. "I left it at the hotel, I didn't want to lose it or anything out here."

He looked down, "Oh." Then he looked back up at me, his green eyes smoldering into mine. "What's wrong Bella? Do you like that guy?"

"No." I said quickly. "It's just I got mad when I saw that girl with you. I always wonder why you chose me. I mean you could get any girl out there…" I looked away and stared out towards the ocean. "There's millions of other fish in the sea." I smiled at my own choice of words and then continued, "Why me?"

But his response surprised me.

"You're absolutely right Bella."

I quickly took my gaze off the water and brought it back to him.

"There's tons of other 'fish' out there. He paused for a second. "But, it's very rare when you find a pearl. And when you do, you don't just give it away."

My face blushed and I felt tears in my eyes. He moved in closer to me and held me in his arms.

"I feel so stupid." I said pushing my face in his chest.

He chuckled, "Don't. It was actually fun playing waiter. Jasper got in a fight with one of the customers. The guy made Jasper so mad he spit in his food."

I started laughing, "That sounds like something Emmett would do, not calm collected Jasper."

"I'm afraid Emmett is rubbing off on him."

"Bella!" I pulled my head away from Edward and saw Alice happily walking next to Jasper all bubbly and excited about something. "Jasper is going to take me shopping! You guys want to come?"

I didn't even have to think about it. "Nah, I'm good."

"Okay Bye! See you guys at the hotel in a couple of hours!" Her and Jasper waved and walked off back towards the car after grabbing her things.

"Well, what do you want to do Bella?" Edward asked me.

"I don't know. What do you want to do?"

"It doesn't matter, just as long as I'm doing it with you. I haven't seen you all day practically."

I rolled my eyes. "It's been what two hours since we've been here?"

He smiled his crooked smile at me. "You want to go find our pro surfing couple?"

I laughed. "Sure."

It took us about a half hour to find Emmett and Rosalie. They were down the beach a ways doing some wind surfing competition.

"Oh. My. Gosh." My mouth fell open when I saw them.

They both had on tight matching red stretchy looking wet suites with black sunglasses being interviewed by a camera.

"So Prince Emmett, how long have you and your fiancée been pro wind surfers?"

I looked at Edward, "Wind surfing?"

He shrugged his shoulders, "Don't ask me."

"Ever since both of us can remember." We heard Emmett say to the interviewer.

Edward eventually had to go drag Emmett away from the camera. "Let's go Emmett."

"Prince Edward!" The interviewer called. "Do you wind surf?"

"No. And neither does Emmett." He said as he dragged Emmett back towards me with Rosalie following.

"Dude! We were going to get a sponsor and everything!" Emmett yelled.

Edward looked at him like he was stupid, "Why, so you can windsurf off the shores of England?"

I looked at Rosalie shocked that she would go along with this. "Rose?"

She just laughed, "It was so fun Bella!"

"What happened to just regular surfing?"

"Windsurfing is so much cooler." She told me.

"Oh."

The rest of the trip past by in a blur. We only stayed for a week longer but it was great. Edward would take me on walks down the beach, with picnics as the sun set. He took me anywhere, and did anything I wanted. We soon eventually made it back to England though. When we arrived back Esme and Carlisle told us the news of how Tanya went away, and they didn't think she would come back.

The next afternoon after we got 'home'-it still felt a little weird to call the palace home-Edward was helping me unpack in my room.

"I don't understand how Alice packed so much stuff in one suite case." Edward complained.

"You don't have to help you know." I told him.

"I'm bored, and I want to hang out with you."

I laughed and walked over and kissed him. But when I tried to move away he grabbed me again and pulled me into a deeper kiss.

Knock.

We heard Alice clear her throat in the door way and stopped. Well I stopped, but Edward didn't want to.

"Hey Alice." I said.

Edward was now holding his arms around my waist with my back against his chest holding onto me extra tight.

"Rosalie, Jasper, Emmett and I are going to town for some lunch now, you two want to go with us?"

I tried twisting my neck so I could see Edward's face. He felt him nod his head and I looked back at Alice, "Okay, I'll be ready in minute."

"We'll be downstairs." She said walking away.

Edward let go of me so I could change out of my sweats and into my jeans. I grabbed my purse and a light jacket and walked out of my room holding onto Edward again.

We met everyone outside by the 'town car'-which was a hummer-and we headed off.

"Where we going?" Edward asked driving.

"What about Maggie May's downtown?" Jasper suggested looking at my sisters and I.

"We don't know anything, so it doesn't matter." I told him.

"Okay, we'll go there." He said.

Maggie May's was a cute little café in the middle of downtown. It had seats on the patio outside to where we could sit and people watch on the streets. Every once in while someone would come up and want to talk to Edward and his brothers. We watched all the cars, people and buses go by for a long time. We were all laughing and joking about something when I heard my name.

"Bella Swan. Oh Bella."

I turned my head to see Tanya coming our way.

"Oh my gosh, is she ever just going to go away?" Alice asked disgusted.

Edward tensed in his seat and moved closer to me.

"Oh Bella. How are you?"

When I didn't answer she became wicked.

"I don't know what type of drugs you are giving Edward to make him like you, but it won't work. I'll have him one day…you'll see."

"Get lost." Edward's voice was low but calm.

She glared and him and then looked back at me. "Fine. But just remember, I'm not just randomly going to disappear." She slowly walked backwards staring at us while she crossed the street.

Just then a large bus came flying around the corner and slammed right into Tanya. It went a couple yards before it slammed on it's breaks and reversed right back over her. When it was right on top of her the doors flew open.

We were all taken by surprise and jumped out of our seats and ran over.

Out of the bus came a person wearing spandex, a cape and a mustache. She hopped onto the ground and put both her hands on her hips. She stared at us and then put one fist in the air and yelled, "Revenge is SWEET! HAHAHAHAHA!"

We were all too shocked to move. Alice was finally able to choke out a question, "Who are you?"

"Call me Crazily Sane Pancake." Then she ran to the front of the bus, pulled Tanya's body out from under it and dragged it inside. The doors flew shut and then the bus took off again.

When the bus was finally out of sight I was able to talk. "That did not just happen." I was completely stunned…perplexed.

Jasper rubbed his forehead with his hand. "You know what. I think it just did."

I thought it was time for Tanya to go bye-bye. I dedicate the running over of Tanya to "Crazily Sane Pancake" because she always makes me laugh so i wantd to make her laugh. It was random but i didn't know how to just get rid of her so i did something fun. :D Nothing to amazing happened in this chapter, sorry for it taking so long. i hope you liked it. Please Review! :D
