Chapter 16- The Boat Ride

A/N: wow. Two chapters for this story and one for Guide to the Cullen Boys in one week. I AM ON FIRE! Haha.

REVIEW!! =]

DISCLAIMER: I don't own Twilight.

We were loading the cars on to the huge ferry to be transported to Long Island. I got out of the car and walked up the stairs onto the upper deck.

Edward lightly brushed his hand against my arm. "Bella," he said softly. "Why don't we take a seat on the blue bench over there?" I looked over to where he was pointing at. It was a small blue bench and it was isolated from all the others. It was stationed perfectly to overlook the water.

"Sure, that looks perfect," I replied to him. We took a seat on the bench and the next thing I knew I had that bubbling pixie sitting next to me.

"OOH BELLA!" She said excitedly. "Look at the view! The ocean is just so blue and perfect. These are really good seats… Jasper! Over here!" I turned around to see a very tired looking Jasper. I waved when I saw him and he gave me a lazy wave and a half grin.

"Sorry Bella," he said as he sat down and put his head in his hands. "Alice kept me up all night talking about what our plans were and…other things." His smile grew as he said that last comment.

"It's okay Jasper, I understand. Trust me." I said sarcastically.

"Oh be quiet," Alice said in a motherly tone but we knew she was just kidding. "You both know you love me." She finished with a smile.

"That's right babe," Jasper said as he leaned over to give her a slight peck on the lips…Alice interpreted it differently and turned it into a full-out make out session.

I turned away from them and glanced over to the right where I saw Edward heading back over with a hot chocolate in each hand. When he saw me he smile and I, of course, blushed at his gorgeous smile.

"I figured it might get a little chilly out here," he said as he sat down next to me on my right and handed me the hot chocolate.

"Thank you," I said and then took a sip of it. It wasn't hot, but it wasn't cold either. Thank God it didn't burn my tongue this time.

I was in the midst of taking a sip of my drink when I heard Emmett's booming voice behind me. "HELLO THERE BELLA!" He was right next to my ear so he knew that he would make me jump and spill my drink all over my self. And of course I did.

"EMMETT!" I shrieked as I jumped up out of my seat and started to run over to him. Emmett saw my face and his eyes grew big as he turned around to book it from me. Just as he started to run, Rosalie 'accidentally' stuck her foot out and he fell.

"Rose-ieeeeee!" Emmett said in a whining tone. "Why'd you do thaaaaaaaaat?" Apparently when he tripped he fell on his knee the wrong way and hurt it. He was lying on the ground hugging his right leg. Jasper, Alice, Edward, Rose and I were all bellowed over with laughter. The more we laughed, the angrier Emmett became. "C'mon guys! Some one help me up?" Rosalie slightly calmed her laughter but just enough to help Emmett up.

"I'm sorry Em," she said as she gave him a hug. Emmett pointed to his lips and she gave him a kiss too.

"All better!" He said with a goofy grin. "I'm sorry Bells for making you spill the drink on you. But hey, the chocolate looks pretty snazzy on that white tank top." I hadn't realized that I had brown on my WHITE tank top.

"Thanks Emmett. Thanks a lot." I said with a underlying sneer to my tone.

"Oh! It's okay Emmett!" Alice added. "She'll just have to go shopping again with me and Rose to get her another one." I looked at my two friend's faces which had sinister smiles on their faces. I let out a long groan.

"Really Emmett. Thanks." I narrowed my eyes at him.

"No problemo Bells," he replied with a slap on the back.

"Alright," Alice said. "I'm going to head inside to get a muffin or something. I'll be right back."

APOV-

I bounced up cheerfully from my seat and walked over to the blue, hideously painted door that opened up to the large cafeteria. I made my way over to the counter and grabbed a chocolate chip muffin off the metal shelves. I turned around, a little bit too fast and bumped into a giant guy. I mean giant. He was at least two inches taller than Emmett.

"Oomph." He let out. Before I said anything I got a quick glance over. He was obviously tall, he had dark brown eyes and curly dark brown hair. He was wearing a black Boston Red Sox baseball cap and a red Jordan tee shirt. He had on dark wash jeans and red and black Jordan sneakers. "I'm sorry." He said.

"No," I replied. "It was my fault, I should have watched where I was going." I had to strain my neck to see this guys face. "Hi," I said as I extended a hand out. "My name is Alice." I gave him one of my infamous smiles.

"Hi Alice," he replied. "I'm Dominic. So, where are you headed to on Long Island?" He asked politely. I liked him because he wasn't trying to flirt with me, he was just being a kind person.

"Well my brother, cousin, my two best girl friends and my boyfriend are all headed to Montauk for vacation. We all rented a condo on the beach. What about you?" We were walking over to the counter so I could pay for my muffin. The cashier rang it up and I handed him 3 dollars. "Keep the change," I said to him. The teenager gave me a huge smile with his silvery braces. I smiled sweetly at him and got back to my conversation with Dominic.

"That's funny, my friend Callie and I are both headed over to Montauk for vacation too. We've also rented a condo right on the beach. What's the name of the condo place that you guys are staying at?"

"Sea View Point." I replied.

"Same! We should all get together and have a bonfire on the beach one night. We could roast marshmallows, it would be a lot of fun."

"That's a really good idea!" I said to Dominic. "Here, why don't I give you my cell number and you can call me with plans."

"Alright," he said as he pulled out his cell phone, "sounds good."

I gave him my cell phone number and we parted ways. I walked back outside to tell my friends the good news.

"That's a really good idea, Ali." Bella commented. "I can't wait until we get to the beach so I can finally lie out in the sun. I've had it with the snow and rain in Albany."

"Ugh, I agree," Rosalie added. "I've been too pale for too long."

Emmett rolled his eyes at this comment.

BPOV-

We pulled up to the condos at around 3:30 in the afternoon. They were three stories high and each story had a bedroom and a bathroom. We walked into the first floor. To the left was a queen size bed and around the corner from that was a personal bathroom. Across from the bed was a fireplace and a flat screen television above it. Next to the fireplace was a mini-bar.

"I CALL THIS ONE!" Emmett boomed.

We headed up the stairs to the second floor which had the kitchen and the main living room. The living room had a door on the wall near the windows that led to the balcony that overlooked the sand dunes across the street. The kitchen on the left, living room on the right and in the middle there was a hallway with 3 doors. The one on the left was the main bedroom with a huge flat screen and a California king sized bed. The right door was the grand bathroom with a Jacuzzi tub. The last door that was at the end of the hall was just a closet for coats.

"I get this one." Edward said simply.

Jasper turned to Alice. "I guess we get the upstairs then."

The upstairs was just a master bedroom with a big screen television, also with a mini bar and a full bathroom. There was also a balcony extending off of this where you could see the view of the ocean.

"I love the view!" Alice squeaked as she flounced out the door to sit on the white lounge chairs. "Jasper, you know you have to make my coffee in the morning for me and bring it to me out here." I could hear the smile in her voice.

"Alright everybody," Jasper announced. "Why don't we all get unpacked and then find a place to go out to dinner."

"Sounds good." Emmett and Edward said at the same time.

"JINX!" Emmett yelled. "YOU OWE ME A SODA!" Then he ran down the flight of two stairs taking Rose with him to do god-knows-what in their bed room.

Edward and I headed down the stairs to the second floor. He flopped down on the couch. I was the first one to speak.

"Hey, um, you're going to take the bed right?" I asked self-consciously.

"No Bella, it'd be improper for me to let you sleep on the couch and take the bed for myself. I'll sleep on the couch and you can have the bed." Edward was always such a gentleman.

I thought of an idea but I was very embarrassed to say it. I did it anyhow. "The bed is huge, Edward. We can share it. It's not like we will be sleeping on top of each other." Although I wanted to. So badly.

"Thank you Bella," he replied. "Why don't I take our bags so we can unpack them in the room?" He asked and I nodded my head. He was just picking up the bags when Alice came down the stairs.

"Hey Bells, were going to go for that bonfire with Dominic and Callie tonight, okay?" She asked.

"Sure," I replied. "I'll tell Edward and Emmett and Rosalie. What time are we going?"

"We're going to head over to the beach around 7, so it will be at least a little bit light out side for us to start it. We just have to find some place to go to dinner before."

"Alright. I'll tell every one." Alice smiled and nodded her head and headed back up the stairs.
