AN: Alright so here's the next chapter. I just wanted to respond to some of the criticisms I have gotten recently. I really do appreciate all of your feedback and support but I just want to remind everyone that I'm not an English major. I apologize if my punctuation and wording bothers you or makes this story hard to read but I just write what I'm thinking and feeling at the time. How to use commas and semicolons and all that jazz was left behind in my high school years. I do try my hardest however to make this story flow as smoothly as possible. I'm also sorry that I may make a few mistakes here and there but I'm only human. I try and post my new chapters as soon as possible and sometimes I don't edit as well as I should. To add, medical students usually aren't inclined to writing stories so in that sense I do have a hard time with this. I really am trying my best. I am very sorry if you are disappointed. I hope I don't sound like a bitch...ahaha… but I'm really just writing this story for fun. I hope I didn't offend. Peace and love.

PS: Please understand that there is a difference between criticism and positive criticism. Positive criticism and encouragement I like…bashes and reviews that make note of my mistakes and criticise my writing… not so much. I never criticize others because I know it hurts sometimes… so please just enjoy the story for what it is. Thank you.

To Miss Isabella Swan Cullen (MISC) AKA Sam Da Girl in England: You asked me to use part of your own writing for this chapter in one of your reviews. I didn't use it word for word but I did use your general idea. I hope you like what I did. Thanks so much. xo

Chapters 26

"When a girl ceases to blush, she has lost the most powerful charm of her beauty"- Gregory I

Bella's POV

I gave Edward a pleading look. I hoped my eyes were reflecting my desire not to do this. He could have saved me from this but instead he just shrugged and smiled. So much for my knight in shinning armour coming to save me from the dragon that is Alice Cullen…

"So! Where to begin?" Alice hummed to herself as she tapped her fingers on the table. I was practically shaking by this point. What the hell was I going to talk about? Sex and I had yet to have an encounter. Lying was totally out of the option because I wouldn't even know how to lie about sex. How bad is that? I prayed I would pass out or have a mini stroke or something. That is how badly I didn't want to have this conversation.

"Okay, Bella, you've talked to Charlie about sex right?" Alice asked with great enthusiasm. I covered my eyes with my hand for a moment. I was afraid since I knew this would be the easiest question I'd have to answer today.

" Umm…yeah…kind of…" I said as I removed my hand from my eyes only to notice the entire Cullen family staring at me. On came the blush. Splendid.

"Good. And I bet it wasn't that bad right?" Alice said.

"Alice we are talking about my father. Every conversation I've practically had with him over the past four years has been awkward to say the least…the sex ones probably top the cake" I explained. She laughed.

"Fair enough. But it'll be different with us…you wont have to worry anything. We just talk…easy enough?" she asked trying to reassure me.

"I guess…" I whispered as I looked down to my lap.

"Okay. We'll I guess we need to know more about yours and Edward's situation. I'm pretty sure you guys haven't done it yet. Am I right?"

"Oh my god" I said very quietly. Jasper chuckled. I think he was the only one to hear my outburst.

"No we haven't" Edward said. Great… he was encouraging this conversation.

"Then there's not much to talk about I guess…too bad" I said very quickly. Alice shot me a look.

"Says who?" she asked. I tried to ignore her. But she continued on with her rant. This was insane.

"What's the furthest you've gotten?" she asked directing the question to Edward.

"Uh about nowhere" he laughed. I didn't think that was funny at all.

"That's not true. You've seen me naked at least!" I blurted out. I heard Carlisle and Jasper whistle.

"Really?" Alice asked not believing me I'm sure. Edward nodded.

"Well that's something! I bet you liked it Edward" she said very sweetly.

"Liked? More like loved" he retorted. Wow. I didn't know whether I should be flattered or feel objectified. Alice giggled.

"It's a good start. I have to admit though; I'm surprised you guys haven't gone any further. You've been dating for like two years" Jasper said.

"Oh really?" I cut in.

"Yes really. It's clear you guys are in love. We're just shocked you haven't gone very far. But that's okay…" Jasper said trying to make me feel better probably.

"Well why don't you tell us about you and Alice then!" I said trying to change the conversation. I didn't want to talk about me anymore.

"Gladly" was Jasper's response before we looked towards Alice. "Shall I start or you?" he asked her. She motioned for him to begin.

"I think you'll like this story Bella…" he told me before starting the story.

"Well as you know, Alice and I met in university. But you don't know much about my high school years do you?" he asked me and I shook my head.

"When I was in high school I was a kind of a player I guess you could say. Sex was a normal thing for teenage boys in my school. I followed along with the trend. It was no big deal. It's important to know though that I was never in love with any of the girls I was with. When I hit university I figured it would be exactly the same, one night stands galore….I'd have more options. Relationships meant nothing to me. But then I stumbled upon Alice : Miss bright and beautiful all at the age of eighteen. I had fallen for her right away. She seemed to show interest in me too. Not having any experience with love I didn't know how to act so I stuck with what I knew: sex. But to my surprise, Alice refused. I had never had a girl refuse before. I was let down" he said while he eyed me. Alice let out a laugh. She then continued the story.

"You would have never thought that right Bella?" she asked me. I had to admit I was surprised. She took my smile as her answer.

"I know. But what you don't know about me Bella is that I was waiting for love. I never had sex in high school, contrary to everyone's belief. I knew I had a reputation in high school but it was all lies. I have to admit I liked the attention so I played along with it. When I hit university I saw it as a fresh start. No one knew me there. I was going to be who I truly was. Alice Cullen: Virgin" she kidded. I had to laugh. So did everyone else. At least that lightened up the mood. I didn't feel so embarrassed now.

"I refused to sleep with Jasper until he smartened up, until he showed me that he loved me" she continued. "That is what I promised myself. If I was going to do this, I was going to do it right. I wanted Jasper to be the one but he had yet to prove it to me. As time went on I saw changes in him, good changes. Eventually, I fell head over heels. I was in love. So then I decided it was time. I wanted to have sex with him but I was so nervous. He had experience and I didn't. I thought for sure it would be terrible. But I was pleasantly surprised…" she chuckled as she looked over at Jasper. It was a sweet moment

"And that Bella is the Alice Cullen and Jasper Hale love story. Well the PG version…maybe some other time we'll get into the heavy stuff. I can tell this is all a bit much for you …" she said. I felt so relieved. That story wasn't what I had expected at all. Alice was older than me when she first had sex. Who would have known? I was deep in my thoughts when Jasper spoke again.

"So you see Bella it's not a big deal. Relationships can still thrive without sex, though it does make for some good fun…" he said with a smirk. Alice kicked him under the table.

"What Jasper is trying to say is that you and Edward can take your time. The good news is that you guys are already in love so when the time is right it will be extra special" Alice said. I looked into her eyes and I could tell that she was being genuine.

"However, when you do decide to "do the deed" so to say I'd be happy to give you advice on some excellent positions…" Alice laughed. Everyone else laughed along with her. I was pretty shocked though and my face reflected it. I blushed again and rested my forehead on the table trying to hide.

"I think Bella has had enough embarrassment for one day kids" Carlisle began. "Let's get back on the road so we can get to the hotel as soon as possible". He then proceeded to pay the bill and walked out of the restaurant. Alice rushed to my side and hooked her arm in mine.

"How do you feel?" she asked me as we walked out after Carlisle. The boys trailed behind us.

"I feel many things Alice. Embarrassed is probably the most prominent feeling but I also feel relived. I'm glad you told me that story…."

"Don't be embarrassed you silly girl. We're family and we love you. This is what a family does Bells. And I was glad to share my story with you. I didn't plan on our conversation going that direction but we'll start of slow. Next time we'll get dirty…" she laughed as she skipped off to wait beside the Volvo. I felt Edward wrap his arms around my waist from behind me. He rested his chin on my shoulder. Jasper passed us, flashed me a smile, and got into the Volvo.

"So?" Edward asked.

"So?" I countered.

"I love you" was all he said as he let go of me and moved towards the car. I followed closely behind him and helped myself into the passenger seat where Toulouse was eagerly waiting for me. Edward rolled down the windows fully and began to drive out of the parking lot.

"Don't forget my offer about the positions!" Alice yelled out her window as we began to drive away. I decided to humour her.

"I wont!" I shouted back at her with a wink….
