Hello Everyone! First of all I'd like to start this little author's note telling you all how incredibly sorry I am that I haven't updated in so long! My parents surprised me with a month and a half trip to Italy (graduation/birthday present!) and of course I couldn't turn it down! Italy was beautiful guys, if you ever have the chance to go, I'd highly recommend it! And if you are lucky enough to live there- I'm insanely jealous. But as with all things – there was a down side to my incredible trip – I couldn't update this story! I'm back now though – and extremely anxious to update this story as well as my other one! Please give me a couple days to get back into the hang of everything … I just got back earlier today so I'm kind of messed up with jet-lag and all (although it isn't nearly as bad as I would have thought it would have been – which is good) ANYWAYS … sorry for the rambling. Lack of sleep does that to me … hope you enjoy this chapter and thanks for waiting (hopefully it'll be worth the wait)!

Chapter 26: Goodnight

BPOV

"You know, seeing you wearing my shirt is so sexy," Edward whispered into my ear as we walked back towards his house. We hung out with our friends for the rest of the day, and said our goodbyes since we were leaving early in the morning and didn't want to wake them up. It wasn't quite as hard leaving them this time though, because we made plans to go back later in the year and Emily promised she'd come up and visit us at college.

I shivered, from both the feeling of his hot breath on my cold neck and the sound of his voice. ""So, what is your wish going to be?" I asked him, trying to change the subject.

"I can't tell, sorry." He said, smiling at me mischievously.

"You know what they say about secrets." I told him, bumping my hip with his playfully.

"You know what they say about curiosity." He replied, grabbing my hand and lacing his fingers with mine.

"I'm not a cat person anyway," I huffed.

"But would you want to be held responsible for a poor, innocents cat's death?" Edward asked me.

I squinted my eyes and glared at him, "You suck."

"Don't worry, love," he said, "It'll be a good wish, I promise."

I nodded slowly, "I trust you, I just want to know what you're going to make me do."

"I won't ever make you do anything, but don't worry. It will be fairly painless, hopefully." He chuckled to himself.

"Fairly painless?" I gulped.

"Oh, Bella," he kissed my forehead gently.

"Hey Edward, Bella," Alice said running up from behind us with Jasper in hand, "Just wanted to say goodnight before we head off to a hotel."

"A hotel?" I asked, "Why aren't you staying at Edward's?"

"Well, aren't you staying in the guest room, Bella?" Jasper asked.

"Oh, right," I said, frowning.

"We can work something out; it's ridiculous for you two to even consider staying at a hotel, me casa es su casa." Edward said, waving his hand towards the front door we were now standing in front of.

"Alice can stay with me, and Jasper you can stay in Edward's room, or on the couch or something." I suggested as we walked through the front door into the foyer. The only other possible arrangement would be Edward and I sharing a room, and Alice and Jasper taking the other, and I doubt Edward's parents would approve of that.

"I guess that works," Alice said somewhat sadly and then smiled at me, "That's great actually we can try on the rest of your clothes and talk about what we are going to wear to our next meeting with Rose."

"Oh, yay, my dream come true," I joked as Alice began pulling on my arm in excitement. "Well, I guess I have to go, see you tomorrow bright and early?"

"5 A.M." Edward told me and gently released Alice's hand from my arm, "Sweet dreams, Bella. I love you" he whispered into my ear.

"Of course they'll be sweet, they will be about you." I told him in a hushed tone, "I love you more."

I kissed him goodnight and walked away with Alice who had just finished giving Jasper a passionate kiss. They acted like they wouldn't be seeing each other for years, not six measly hours.

"I love you most," Edward shouted up the stairs at my retreating figure.

I turned around and smiled at him, and then blew him a kiss, "Don't stay up to late playing video games; you have to drive tomorrow… unless you want me driving your precious Volvo." I grinned evilly.

"Yes, mom," Edward said sarcastically.

"WHAT?" Edward's mother shouted from her room down the hall.

I covered my mouth to stop from laughing too loudly, "Nothing, mom, goodnight." Edward said, rolling his eyes and chuckling a little. "Love you." He told me and followed Jasper towards the basement where their video games awaited.

"WHAT?" Mrs. Masen shouted again.

Edward smiled, shaking his head. He then turned around and looked directly at me, "I SAID I LOVE YOU" he shouted to his mom, while gazing intensely into my eyes. Both of us knew who he was really talking to.

"LOVE YOU TOO," she responded.

Edward shook his head, while I tired to keep from laughing.

"Hey man," Jasper said, bumping his shoulder, "I'm kind of wiped out, mind if we just head up to bed too?"

Edward shrugged, "Sure, no problem."

Alice beamed and took hold of Jasper's hand and walked with him up the stairs.

"After you, Madame," Edward said, gesturing upstairs with his hand.

I rolled my eyes and grabbed his hand and walked with him up the stairs. We reached the door to my room all too quickly and I sighed.

Edward lifted our interjoined hands up to his mouth and gently kissed my fingers, whispering goodnight as he did so.

"Goodnight," I managed to croak out before he disappeared into his own room.

I walked into my room, shut the door and leaned back up against it.

"You two are so cute together," Alice told me as she changed into her pajamas which were pink satin.

"More like he is so cute," I swooned as I changed into pajama bottoms.

"Not changing your shirt?" Alice asked, lifting up the covers to the bed and slipping underneath.

I turned a little pink and smiled looking down at Edward's shirt that I was wearing, "Nope." I said simply.

Alice gave me a knowing look but didn't comment further as I got situated on the opposite side of the bed.

"Well, goodnight…" Alice said, reaching over to turn off the light.

"Night," I said and closed my eyes.

It couldn't have been more then ten minutes later, when I was almost asleep, that I heard Alice say my name gently. Sure it was just a dream I rolled over a little and ignored her voice.

"Bella," she said again, this time tapping my shoulder, "Are you awake?"

I groaned internally and opened my eyes, "Yea?"

"I'm sorry," she said, looking sheepish, "I can't sleep though."

"Oh, do you want to talk or something?" I asked.

"No, no… I mean, well I've sort of grown accustom to sleeping with Jasper, it's weird not having him here but knowing he's so close." Alice said quietly.

"Well, why don't you just go over to his room then and tell him that? Maybe you two can work something out," I said drowsily.

"Are you sure?" she asked, "That wouldn't be awkward for you?"

For me? I thought to myself, Why would that be awkward for me? "No, that's fine, Alice." I said and I closed my eyes again.

"Thanks, you're the best!" Alice said, kissing the top of my head and bouncing out of bed.

"No problem," I responded and closed my eyes again.

"Jasper, man, why so antsy?" I asked Jasper, who had changed positions at least seven times in the last five minutes.

"Sorry, I just can't sleep I guess." He responded.

"I thought you said you were tired," I said, confused.

"I was, I am, I just can't sleep without-" he was cut off by a soft knocking on the door.

"Come in," I said, sitting up slowly.

Alice opened the door and stepped in, closing the door behind her gently.

"Alice!" Jasper said excitedly.

"Hi Jasper," Alice said waving to him shyly and then she turned her attention to me, "Edward do you mind if I sleep in here tonight? I can't sleep without Jasper near me."

"I-well," I stuttered, "Sure, no problem." Where am I supposed to sleep now? I thought.

"Bella said it was fine if you went to sleep in her room," Alice said, reading my mind.

"She did?" I asked, already getting out of bed.

"Well, not in so many words, but I'm sure she wont mind." Alice said winking at me.

"Alright," I said and walked out of my room quickly and into the guest room where my Bella was lying down on the bed, fast asleep.

I smiled as I approached her sleeping form and got under the sheets where Alice has clearly been laying before. "Goodnight," I whispered to Bella, kissing her forehead.

Her eyes fluttered opened as she realized she wasn't dreaming, "Edward?"

"Is this alright?" I asked her, not sure of her reaction.

"Of course," she responded.

I smiled and pulled her closer to me.

"I'm sorry again about the trick I pulled on you today during our game," I spoke into her hair.

Bella sat up slightly in bed and looked over at me, fully awake now.

I expected to face her wrath, to have her yell at me about how unfair I was or how mean, but instead she surprised me, "Oh, Edward, that's fine. After all, it's like you said, all is fair in love in war."

"I love you," I said.

Bella's eyes sparkled, and suddenly a smile flashed across her face, "You know what Edward? I'll be right back; I have to go to the bathroom real quick."

"Alright, hurry back." I said, unwillingly letting her out of my arms as she scooted out of bed.

"I will," she replied and kissed me quickly and skipped out of the room.

I walked quickly and quietly across the hall to Edward's room where Alice and Jasper currently were pausing outside the door to reconsider my plan. Who knew what was going on behind those doors, I didn't even want to consider the idea that they would do anything to risqué in Edward's childhood room, but you never knew with those two. I decided to knock quietly.

"Come in," I heard a hush voice say from behind the door.

I quickly opened the door, walked in and closed it again, one hand covering my eyes the entire time in case there was anything going on that I didn't want to see.

"You can uncover your eyes, Bella." Jasper said, laughing.

I slowly lowered my hand to see Alice and Jasper sitting up in bed, looking at me curiously.

"Alright Bella, not that we don't love you or anything, but why are you here?" Alice asked me, clearly suspicious.

I walked towards her and bent down to her ear and told her my idea, to which she let out a high pitched squeal and clapped her hands.

"What? What is it?" Jasper asked, feeling left out.

Alice jumped out of bed quickly, "I'll be back in ten minutes top, Jasper!" she said as she grabbed hold of my wrist and tugged me towards the bathroom down the hall.

"Are you sure about this, Bella?" Alice asked me as she was working her magic five minutes later.

"Positive, he will pay for what he did," I said, smiling evilly.

"You are evil, girl, evil." Alice laughed and continued her work. A few minutes later she stepped back, deeming my transformation complete.

"Should I change?" I asked her, unsure.

"Hmmm," Alice thought, putting her finger to her chin, tapping it, "Take off the pajama pants and we'll be set I think."

I quickly followed her advice, knowing how much this would drive him crazy.

"Alright, a quick spray of this freesia perfume all you'll be all set," Alice said, hitting the bottle twice, releasing the scent into the air.

"Thanks so much again, Alice." I told her, hugging her and opening the door.

"No problem, after all it was his fault that we lost, so it only seems fair that I help in your revenge plan." Alice whispered so that we wouldn't be overheard.

"Goodnight," I said as we reached our respective doors.

"Have fun," Alice winked at me and disappeared into her room.

I took a deep breath and slowly turned the handle to the room, "You can do this," I told myself and took one last deep breath and opened the door all the way.

I quickly shut the door all the way and saw Edward laying down on the bed, one arm under his head, staring up at the ceiling.

"Hey Bella," he said, still not looking at me.

"Why hello there," I said in what I hoped sounded like a sexy voice.

My voice must have caught his attention because his eyes suddenly darted from the ceiling to me, and they widened.

I shifted awkwardly, and tried to cover it up by posing in a way that I'd often seen women do in movies and on TV. I put one hand against the door, and the other on my hip and pouted my lips, fully aware that his eyes were roaming up and down my almost naked body; the only thing covering it was his t-shirt.

"Bella," he said my name again, this time much deeper and huskier.

I walked slowly towards the bed, keeping eye contact with him the entire time, "Edward" I said as I climbed into bed and moved so that my face was directly over his. Our mouths were centimeters apart, and I could feel his quick breath on my face. "Kiss me." I murmured.

He didn't need to be told twice, and his lips instantly crashed into mine. He wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling me down onto him so that my body was fully on top of his own as he deepened what had to be the most passionate kiss I'd ever experienced.

I got lost in the moment as my hands started to travel up his shirt, roaming over his hard stomach as he moved his mouth to my neck, kissing me right between my shoulder blade and the bottom of my neck, I shivered.

"I really do love that shirt on you," Edward murmured into my neck, which quickly brought me back to reality- back to my plan.

I gently put my hands onto the side of his face, and turned his head so he was looking directly into my eyes. "Edward" I said softly.

"Yes," he said his eyes full of passion and lust. He was clearly into the moment. Perfect.

"Edward," I repeated his name a little more loudly this time, "Goodnight." I said and quickly turned around, closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep.
