Ok sorry once again for the delay but I am back!

Have you seen the new Eclipse trailer!? OMG I can't wait. And I know it was awesome because even my husband agreed with me that it looks awesome!

Also I made a mistake in Chapter 7. When I said something happen to Edward a year and a half ago it was suppose to be three years and a half years ago, I don't know why I put a year. That's what I get for sometime forgetting to double check my writings before posting

Chapter 13: Girls Just Wanna Have Fun

Bang Bang Bang Bang

"Ugh…shut up!" Emmett moaned.

"Who would be banging at this time?" I asked.

Jasper got up and went to our door. He opened it and sighed. "No one is out here."

Bang Bang Bang

We all looked over to the connecting door between our room and the girls.

"I swear if that's the pixie…" Emmett started.

Jasper opened the door and Alice bounced into his arms.

"Good morning sweetheart." She kissed him on the cheek.

He chuckled. "Morning darlin'."

"Honestly Alice, did you have to bang that loud…you could have just called our phone," I said.

She stuck her tongue out at me. "Then you wouldn't be able to see my beautiful face." Just then Rose and Bella walked in, dressed but looking exhausted. Rose went and climbed into bed with Em and Bella fell onto my bed at the foot of it. I smiled at her and she groaned.

"One of these days, I swear Cullen, you might not have a sister."

I laughed and ruffled her hair. "I'm sorry sweetie, if I could save you from her I would."

She grinned at me. "Maybe one day."

I just stared at her, feeling a tug in my chest. And that's when I noticed she was looking at me as well, and then blushed.

"Alright boys," Alice broke my trance. "Get dressed and we will meet you in the lobby…twenty minutes."

"Alice we are on vacation. We don't have to get there as soon as it opens. We do have time," Emmett said.

She laughed. "Oh Em, you're such a boy. See you in twenty." The girls got up and headed out. We all just looked at each other.

"You sure you want to marry that Jasper?" Em asked.

Jasper chuckled. "More than you know."

We arrived at the Galleria and Alice took off with us barely keeping up. Bella looked like she wanted to runaway and I started formulating a plan. The girls disappeared into Fendi while us guys took a seat. From where we were, we could see the girls in the store. Rose and Alice looked like they were having the time of their life while Bella just looked ok. She seemed to like shopping just not as much as Alice and Rose. They began shoving clothes into Bella's arms while she shook her head. Of course Alice wasn't having any of that and they pushed her towards the dressing room. We all started laughing.

"Poor Bella. It's amazing her and the girls get along so well without her liking to shop like the shop-a-holics there," Emmett said.

"I know. But they are all attached at the hip. I swear when Alice and Rose met Bella, it's like they were meant to always be friends. You would have thought they had known each other for years," Jasper added.

I nodded. "I just can't believe I never met her before."

"Well you were busy with studying, and though you may have said you were over her…you still were hurt," Jasper stated.

"What?" I asked.

They sighed. "This is not us being mean or rude, but we know there are times it's still hard for you.

I nodded. "I'm fine guys…I really am. It will always sting a bit…and I'm sorry I got distant at times." I gave them a small smile and Em patted me on the shoulder.

"We understand man. But I do have to say…after meeting Miss. Swan here…I've noticed you seem happier than you have in a long time." He wiggled his eyebrows.

I shoved him. "Man, it's not like that. I swear. I mean, there is a reason I feel connected to her…" I saw the girls walking out and stopped. "Maybe I'll tell you later."

Jasper and Emmett looked between each other with questions on their face. The girls walked up and Bella collapsed on the couch next to me. I instinctively put my arm around her. "You ok?" I asked.

She looked around to see if the girls were paying attention to her, then looked at me. "Remember when you said you would save me if you could…" I nodded. "Save me." She pleaded.

I looked to see if the group was paying attention to us, then grabbed Bella's hand and pulled her while running away from the group.

"BELLA! You are so dead. You to EDWARD!" yelled Alice. Bella and I just laughed and I continued pulling her till we reached a coffee shop and I led her to a table and pulled out a chair for her.

"Thank you kind sir," she giggled.

I smiled. "No problem. What can I get you?"

"Mmmm a white chocolate mocha please."

"Coming right up." I went and ordered our drinks, got them, and went and sat by her.

"So, not a big shopper?" I asked.

She groaned. "It's not that I don't like it…but, and as much as I love Alice, she is just very intense with it. And then when you add Rose…ugh." She took a sip of her coffee while I laughed.

"Yeah I know, but you can't help but love her."

She grinned. "Oh I know. She was really my first true friend in New York. I kept to myself for the most part, but then I met her. I knew I found my best friend." She looked off a bit like she was remembering that day.

"Well, I know both Rose and Alice care a lot about you."

She looked at me. "And what about you?"

I slightly choked on my coffee, not expecting that question. She then laughed. "I'm just kidding Edward. Geez, I know we've only known each other awhile. I just love to watch you squirm."

I cleared my throat. "Actually, can I be honest with you?"

A serious look came over her face. "Look Edward, I'm sorry, I…"

I held up a hand. "No no. I just wanted you to know I really enjoy being around you. It's very easy. I kind of feel like I've known you for a lot long than I have."

She smiled. "Really?"

"Yeah. You just have this…I don't know…I guess I almost feel drawn to you."

I looked up at her and saw something in her eyes. I couldn't make it out, but I knew it wasn't anything bad by the shy smile on her face. I started to feel courage build inside of me and started to confess to her.

"Actually Bella, I want to tell you something. I don't know if you remember…"

"Isabella Marie Swan I am disappointed in you." Alice was standing there with her hands on her hips. I groaned and gave her a dirty look for interrupting us.

"Sorry Alice, but I needed a break." Bella pouted.

"Well, I'm sorry, but now that you've had your little break with Eddie here, it's time to get back to it. We only have one more hour before we have to leave to get ready for dinner. Come on, let's have fun!" She then turned to me. "No more kidnapping my friend Edward."

"I'm sorry Alice but she's my friend too." Bella turned to me and I winked.

"Yeah well, she was mine first." She stuck out her tongue.

"Gah, there's enough of me to go around," Bella giggled.

We got up and Alice dragged Bella away. Bella turned around to me and mouthed 'thank you'. I nodded and went over to where I saw the guys. Maybe sometime I would get to tell her about that day…the day she saved me.
