BPOV:

All of Esme's stories and advice had been very helpful. She had divulged some secrets about her sons, yes Emmett and Jasper included, that we may have never known.

"Dinner's ready!" Emmett called from the kitchen as the boys put the finishing touches on the roast.

"It looks delicious," Alice commented as we all sat down to eat.

Dinner was soon underway and filled with laughter. This seemed to be a common occurrence when we were all together. We were only interrupted by the doorbell ringing.

"I'll get it," Carlisle said as he stood to answer the door. He soon returned with a grim expression on his face.

"What is it dad?" Edward asked.

"Um," Carlisle began. I knew it was bad when the ever-composed Carlisle was stammering. "It's Jessica."

"Jessica?" Esme hissed her name.

"Jessica?" Edward echoed. Emmett and Jasper didn't look too happy either.

"Uh, who's Jessica?" Alice asked the question on all of our minds.

"Nobody import-," but Esme was interrupted by a woman's voice.

"Hello? Carlisle, it's way to cold to stay outside," she said, as she got closer. "Besides, I'm sure Edward wants to see me."

I looked to Edward for some sort of explanation but was met with his jaw clenched so tightly I thought his teeth would snap. I placed a soothing hand on his thigh and began to massage small circles in it. That appeared to bring his attention back to me and he looked down to me, his eyes tight.

"Who is she?" I asked quietly, so the girl wouldn't hear. Edward shook his head side to side quickly signaling that he wouldn't talk about it right now.

"Edward!" the woman who I surmised was Jessica came strolling in the dining room and placed her arms around Edward. It must have been like hugging Michelangelo's David sculpture for all the response he was giving.

"Jessica," he said tersely.

"I heard you were in town and I just had to stop by and see you," she continued, obviously not catching Edward's annoyance. "How have you been?" she asked as she took off her coat and scarf, indicating a long visit. "Carlisle," she said as she shoved her coat in his direction, expecting him to take it.

"The coat rack is by the front door dear," Esme said roughly. Jessica rolled her eyes and returned her attention back to Edward.

"Any way, how have you been, Edward?" she asked again.

"Fine," Edward answered, not returning her question.

"We're actually in the middle of dinner right now," Esme said, gesturing to the table.

"Oh I'm sure Edward has a little time for an old friend," Jessica said, dismissing Esme's statement.

"Actually," Alice piped up. "I don't think he does."

"Um, excuse me. Who are you?" Jessica asked rudely.

"She's my fiancée," Jasper answered as he placed a hand on Alice's arm, keeping her in her seat and away from Jessica.

"Well I think Edward is a big boy and can speak for himself," Jessica responded.

"Well you're certainly a big girl and you can't seem to take the hint that no one wants you here," Alice replied in an icily sweet voice. Jessica grunted in response. I took this time to speak up, before Rose could.

"Edward, dear," I began. "Who is she?" I asked this time loud enough for her to hear. I brought my right hand up to his face and pushed back his hair from his it. Jessica was now the one who was confused.

"What?" she asked.

"Oh, I'm Bella," I said with a sweet smile. "I'm Edward's girlfriend."

"Girlfriend, huh?" she said as she looked me up and down.

"Yeah, girlfriend," I said, trying not to become self-conscious under her gaze. "I would think Edward would tell an old friend about his girlfriend," I said with a shrug. "Again, who are you?"

"I'm Jessica, Edward's last girlfriend." Edward and I had talked about our past relationships and he had never mentioned any Jessica. My face showed no recognition to that fact though.

"Hmm," I said while pretending to think. "He's never mentioned you before."

"Never?" Jessica asked, disbelieving. I shook my head in response while I transferred myself from my seat to Edward's lap. I heard Rose and Alice trying to stifle their laughter.

"Right, Edward?" I asked him from my spot on his lap. His own smile formed as he tightened his grip on me.

"Right, Love." Jessica almost choked at his name for me.

"Eat up, kids. The food's getting cold," Esme said, resuming her meal; turning all attention away from Jessica.

"You know the way out, Jessica," Carlisle said without even looking at her.

"But Edward and I are talking," she said trying to retain some dignity.

"No, I think we're done here," Edward responded, saying the most words he had all night to her.

Jessica looked around to all of us who had already begun talking to each other and ignoring her. She finally caught on and grunted once before turning and leaving the house. We all began laughing as we heard the front door slam.

"We have taught you so well," Rose said proudly after her laughter quieted down.

"You handled her like a pro!" Alice agreed. Although their approval was encouraging there was only one person who I needed it from. I looked to Edward and was relieved to see a large grin on his face.

"You did handle her quite well," he agreed. He kissed my cheek chastely as I snuggled closer to him.

"Now," Rose interjected. "Is anyone going to tell us who 'her' is?"

"She's an old girlfriend," Edward responded.

"Yeah, one that cheated like a slacker on algebra tests," Emmett finished. We couldn't help but laugh at that.

That was enough of an answer for everyone else but I wanted more information. An explanation as to why I hadn't known about her wouldn't hurt either.

"I just want to know why you didn't lock the door, Carlisle?" Esme asked her husband.

"How was I supposed to know the crazy girl would come in our house without being invited in," Carlisle said as he put up his hands, a sign of surrender. That sent us laughing again.

Dinner was soon over and we all agreed to return to our rooms and find something comfortable to wear before we watched a movie.

"Edward?" I called out to him. He was in his bathroom changing while I waited my turn on his bed.

"Yes?"

"You know I'm going to need more information about this Jessica girl, right?" I asked, well more like told him.

"Of course," he sighed. I changed quickly and returned to my spot on the bed, next to him.

"I met Jessica my senior year of high school," he began, running a hand over his face. "We dated on and off for a while but broke up for good before college. Come junior year of college she calls me up. She wanted to meet up and catch up and I agreed because up until this point we had a good relationship. She somehow talked me into dating her again and we were serious, or so I though we were, for almost a year. One day, I went to her off campus apartment and let myself in with the key she had given me and found her with another man." I placed my arm around his back and hugged myself to him.

"What did you do?" I asked.

"I yelled and screamed and threw things until one of her neighbors called the police," he said with a shrug. My face fell into a shocked expression before I snorted in laughter.

"What's so funny?" he asked.

"You..throwing..and yelling?" I gasped out while laughing. "I don't believe it."

"Believe it," he said while nodding his head.

"Well I would have probably done a lot worse if I found someone cheating on me," I admitted. "Why didn't you tell me about her?"

"I guess I just wanted to act like her and I had never happened," he explained. It made sense.

"What made her think she was welcome?" I asked. Edward shrugged in response.

"I have no idea. Like my father so aptly put it; she's crazy." I giggled.

"Well thank you for telling me about her," I said as I placed what was supposed to be a chaste kiss on his lips, but he had other ideas. He immediately deepened the kiss and pushed me onto my back. My hands found themselves tangled in his hair as desire took over my thoughts. I felt Edward's hand inch up my shirt and begin tracing small circles against my stomach. My own hands went to the bottom of his shirt and began pulling it up his body.

"Come on you guys!" Alice's voice called from the bottom of the stairs, thoroughly startling us. I laughed quietly as Edward groaned.

"How does she know?" he asked as he helped me get off of the bed.

"She psychic," I replied with a shrug.

We made our way downstairs to begin our movie.

"Nice hair," Alice said with a raised eyebrow quietly to me. My hands instantly went to my hair and I could tell that it was obvious as to what had been going on upstairs. I looked to Edward whose hair looked just the same as it always did. I stuck my tongue out at my best friend and attempted to control my hair.

It had been decided by vote that we would watch Casino Royale. There were no arguments from the girls at this choice.

"Ooh, Daniel Craig," Alice swooned.

"I know," Rose, Esme and I said in unison making each other laugh.

"Oh please," Emmett argued. "I'm way better than Craig any day."

"Uh, yeah, Em," Rose said while patting Emmett's hand. "Of course you are."

"The car's are sick in this movie," Edward said as we sat down together. This began a long conversation about which Bond cars are better that featured mechanical terms and plenty of other terminology that I didn't understand. I zoned out of the conversation but was brought back my Edward's hand in front of my face, waving at me.

"Sorry, what?"

"I asked you what car type you like best in the Bond series," he sated. Was he serious?

"Edward, I don't speak Car and Driver," I responded, earning a laugh from everyone.

The 007 movie started and we all sat around to watch. I managed to keep my eyes open for most of the movie but sleep was beginning to win over. Edward kissed the side of my cheek before whispering in my ear.

"Would you like to go upstairs to bed?" I shook my head in refusal. I felt bad going to sleep when we had to leave tomorrow. Edward's crooked grin appeared, effectively making me melt, while he gently guided my head to rest on his lap and began playing with my hair.

"Cheater," I whispered sleepily. He knew this would put me to sleep. I fought against my lids and sleep but soon knew it was a loosing battle. I was out cold before the end of the movie and was only awakened when I felt myself being moved.

"What time is it?" I asked, my speech slurred, making Edward chuckle.

"A little after midnight," he answered. I felt him carrying me up the stairs.

"I fell asleep didn't I?" I groaned.

"Yep, but that is a good thing because we have an early morning ahead of us."

"But I wanted to thank your parents," I said, feeling sleep quickly returning as Edward placed me in his bed.

"They'll be up tomorrow morning to see us off and they'll be at the wedding," Edward reminded me.

"Okay," I mumbled. "Love you."

"Love you too," Edward said before placing a kiss on my forehead.

I awoke the next morning, much too early for my liking, and got ready to go home. Edward's parents had driven us to the train station and said their goodbyes before sending us off.

I fell asleep halfway into the train ride and was again awakened by Edward.

"You're really cutting into my sleep time lately, Masen," I said with my eyes still closed. Edward just laughed as he helped me out of my seat.

We made our way out of the station and onto the street when it seemed to hit us all that we would have to leave our loved ones after being with them for a whole weekend.

Edward gathered me up into a tight hug and I hugged him back just as tightly.

"How on earth am I going to go days without seeing you?" he asked. "This weekend felt amazing always having you there with me the whole time."

"I know what you mean," I said as I sniffled against tears. "It's a good thing we're going apartment shopping soon." I felt him smile against my hair as I mentioned that.

"I love you, Bella," he whispered in my ear.

"I love you too," I said in return. One more kiss was shared before the boys put us in a cab and sent us home.

"What a perfect weekend," Alice said as we all collapsed into the back seat of the cab. Rose and I hummed in response.

The short ride home was spent thinking. I thought about everything that was about to happen in my life. My best friend was getting married in a few days and Edward and I were moving in together. I had never been this happy in my whole life.

The cynic in me also thought about how things could come crashing down. Nothing this perfect could last forever. Edward would eventually get tired of me or any number of things could happen to pull us apart. It was only a matter of time.

I tried to push those thought aside and focus on the here and now and how amazing Edward was.

We were soon back in our apartment, unpacked and lounging. Rose and I were allotted 20 minutes of down time before wedding things had to be done.

"I'll be so glad when this is over," Rose called as Alice pretty much dragged us out of the door.

Well, there goes my perfect, peaceful weekend. Back to reality.


So you guys wanted some drama, so I gave you a little. I think maybe Jessica will be back...
I have a question for you guys. A few people have asked me if there will be lemons in this story. That is an idea that I have been toying with for a while and I want to know what you guys think. If you are interested in lemons than I'm looking for someone who'll write them for me. I just can't do it. It needs to be someone who's written some before and is good at them. Also someone who won't get mad if I offer critique. If you're interested in helping me then leave me a review or PM me please.

Don't forget to leave me a review! Let me know you're favorite (or least favorite) part of my story!

:]
