Sorry it has been awhile. I have been busy with school and the holiday season. This is a short chapter but there will be another update Monday.

Thanks, for the reviews for the previous chapter and a couple people guessed right about who caught Bella and Edward.

Enjoy and as always Twilight belongs to Stephenie Meyer.

BPOV- Party Aftermath

"Bella whose fucking hand are you holding," Fuuuuuuck! Jasper had caught Edward and me holding hands. Thank god, it wasn't Emmett that caught us. I could see the headlines now, "Protective older brother kills fellow football player."

Jasper stood right next to us alternating between staring at Edward and I. I guess he was waiting for some kind of explanation. "Uhm Jasper this is Edward. He is on the team with Edward and Sam." I hope Jasper would just let it go for now because I really didn't want Emmett to come over here and start asking questions.

"Bella we will talk about this later. Find me after the party. Edward." Then Jasper walked away. Guess I will be talking with all of my brothers except Emmett and Ben.

"Sorry if I got you in trouble Bella. I just wanted to make you feel better." Edward looked like his favorite toy had just broke. He started to pull his hand away but I won't let go.

"It's okay Edward. I am not in any trouble. Plus, I enjoy holding your hand. Maybe we can hold hands again tomorrow on our date." I blushed when I mentioned the last part.

Edward gave me a beautiful smile and stopped trying to pull his hand away. "I enjoy holding your hand too beautiful. We will definitely have to hold hands again soon." I could hear the front door opening and closing. I guess people were starting to leave. I didn't want Edward to leave yet but I will see him in less than 12 hours.

"Well beautiful I think it is time for me to leave. I enjoyed meeting you tonight even though you had flour on your face and one of your brothers is trying to set us up." I bet Edward was always going to remember the flour and I was always going to blush when he brought it up.

"I had fun tonight Edward and I will see you tomorrow. Thanks for making the party enjoyable for me" I actually stayed the whole time tonight instead of sneaking off to my room after I was finished making the food.

"I had fun too. I was actually only planning on staying about 30 minutes but then you answered the door and that plan went out the window."

We held hands a little while more until it I saw Emmett start to make his way towards us. I quickly gave Edward's hand a squeeze and pulled away.

"Bye Edward it was nice to meet you. Hope you have a great season." Emmett was now standing right behind us.

Edward got up from the couch. "It was nice to meet you to Bella and Emmett thanks for inviting me to your party. I had a lot of fun. Goodnight" Edward made his way towards the door.

"Thanks for coming Eddie and I will see you at practice Monday." Eddie? Why did Emmett call Edward Eddie?

Edward stopped walking to the door and sighed. "Emmett my name is Edward not Eddie. How many times do I have to tell you?" I could tell Emmett's nickname was starting to grate on Edwards nerves. Note to self don't call Edward Eddie.

Emmett just started laughing and I could see the evil gears turning in his head. "Okay Edikens. Don't let the door hit you on your way out." Emmett chuckled to himself. The last thing I saw of Edward was his delicious ass as he walked out the door.

"Well Belly I think the party was a hit. I am surprised you stayed the whole time." Emmett looked in deep thought for a minute, probably trying to figure out why I stayed the whole time. Then he turned around and walked over to the remaining partiers.

I quickly got up the couch and went to my room. I sat on my bed trying to decide if I wanted to talk to Jasper, Sam or Seth first. I decided I would talk with Jasper since Sam and Seth was still downstairs with the stragglers.

I walked down the hall and knocked on Jasper's door. Jasper opened and asked, "Bella are you ready to talk about your hand holding with Edward?" He stated smiling at the end of his question so I knew I wasn't in too much trouble.

I slowly walked in Jasper's room and sat in his desk chair. Jasper closed the door and took a seat on his bed. "Okay Bella start talking." Jasper was always the blunt one out of my brothers.

"Jasper, I really like Edward and we are going out for coffee in the morning please, don't tell anyone." I knew with Jasper that it was best to just tell the truth.

Jasper looked at me for a second. "Thanks for telling me and I think he really likes you too. When are you going to tell everyone else? You know Emmett and Paul won't take the news very well." Jasper always planned ahead and loved to come up with strategies depending on the problem.

"Sam basically pushed us together at the party and I am going to talk to Seth when I am done talking to you. I will probably tell Ben whenever I see him. As for Emmett and Paul we want to wait to them until we know where our relationship is heading."

"Bella I won't wait too long to tell them because they will eventually find out. I am happy for you Bella. I don't know Edward but from my first impression he seems like a good guy but that doesn't mean I am not going to scare him for a while." Jasper started laughing.

"Thanks Jazz. Just don't scare him too bad because I want him to stick around." I knew Jasper wouldn't be too mean to Edward; it just wasn't in his nature.

Jasper stopped laughing and a wide smile grew across his face. "Oh Bella, when are you going to tell the pixie and her sidekick." The bastard started laughing again. The pixie is Alice, Jasper's girlfriend for 5 years. Alice is a world-renowned fashion designer and owns several boutiques all over the world. She always tries to dress me up when she comes over and buys me tons of clothes. Her sidekick is Emmett's girlfriend, Rosalie. Rosalie is one of the cheerleaders for the Seattle Seahawks. She looks like a goddess with her long blonde hair and big blue eyes. She loves to do my make-up and hair whenever she comes over. When Alice and Rosalie team up together, I barely make it out alive. I always feel bad when they are done with their makeovers because the only people who see the finished results are my brothers.

"You know Rosalie would kill you if she heard you called her a sidekick." Jasper stopped laughing. Rosalie always had to be first and was viscous when she didn't get her way. That is why Emmett and Rosalie get along so well. Emmett is loud and acts like a two year and Rosalie can make him shut-up and act his age.

"Don't tell her what I said Bella, please." Ha Jasper now I have the power due to your stupid mouth.

"I won't tell her as long as you let me tell them on my own terms." I know I will have to tell them soon but at least their makeovers won't go to waste anymore.

Jasper stood up, walked over to me and gave me a hug. "Thank-you Bella. You are my favorite sister. "Just tell Alice soon because I can't keep secrets from her."

"I am your only sister so of course I am your favorite and I will tell them both soon." I said laughing at Jasper's statement.

"Well I am going to see if I can find Sam or Seth so I can try to get some sleep before my date in the morning." I gave Jasper another hug before walking towards the door.

"Goodnight Bella. Have fun on your date tomorrow." I walked out the door back to my room.

"Bella, come talk to me for a minute." Perfect timing Sam, now I won't have to search for you. I turned around and walked into Sam's room.

"So how did you like Edward?" I could hear the uncertainty in Sam's voice. It must be weird trying to set your sister up with someone.

"He was okay. Why?" I decided to play coy and make him work for the answer I knew he wanted.

"Oh, I just thought you would get along with him. I have kind of become a mentor to him and he seems like a really nice boy." I was going to make Sam admit that he was trying to set up me and Edward.

"We did get along but were you trying to set me up with him?" Okay Bella you have to keep a confused expression on your face or he will catch on.

"Do I really have to spell it out for you Bella?" I could tell Sam was getting frustrated with me not understanding.

"Yes Samuel Steven Swan. Please, enlighten me on your plan."

"Okay, Isabella Marie Swan. I thought you and Edward would be attracted to one another and might start dating. I also thought that you would be thanking me since he was already Sam approved." Sam was blushing by the end of his statement and I started laughing at him.

"Now that wasn't so hard was it? I hate to burst your bubble Sam but Edward and I had already planned to meet tomorrow before you introduced us. Also, while I appreciate your approval, Emmett and Paul are the hardest to obtain approval."

"So all my hard work to introduce you and Edward was for nothing." Sam looked so sad by the end of his statement. I didn't mean to hurt his feelings.

"No because I heard you were the one to talk Edward into to coming to the party which means you are the reason we met." Sam was smiling again and I knew he helped Edward and I meet.

"Thanks Bella for cheering me up. I will help you tell Paul and Emmett whenever you are ready." I don't know if I would ever be ready to tell Paul and Emmett.

"Thanks, Sam. Well I am going to bed since I have a date in the morning." I still needed to talk to Seth.

"Goodnight Bella. Love you." Sam walked over to where I was standing and gave me a kiss on my cheek.

"Love you too Sam." I walked back towards my room. I knew Seth would come find me after Embry left. I quickly got ready for bed because I had to get up early for my date with Edward. I crawled into bed and waited for Seth to come talk to me.

I heard my phone ding which meant I had a text message. Who would be texting me this late at night. I quickly reached for my phone on my nightstand. "Only 8 more hours before I can hold your hand again beautiful." Edward was so sweet.

"Only 7 hours and 59 minutes before I can see your striking green eyes." I quickly hit the send button because I knew I would over analyze the text.

A few seconds later, my phone dinged with another message. "Goodnight beautiful. Sweet dreams."

I just placed my phone back on the nightstand when I heard a knock on my door. My brothers had learned the hard way to knock before entering.

Flashback

I was 15 and just got home from school. It was a long day and I had just taken a calculus test. I just wanted to go to my room and take a warm, long bath. Of course, it couldn't be that easy.

Emmett, Paul and Sam were sitting in front of the TV playing Call of Duty. They all loved this game and would yell at the TV when they were losing. I still don't understand why this game is so fun. I was trying to sneak past them to avoid being questioned about my day. Me being my clumsy self, bumped into the table.

"Belly what are you making us for dinner. I am hungry and coach said I need to put on some more weight." They didn't even bother turning around to see if I was okay.

"Emmett, why don't you guys just order pizza? I have had a long day and I don't feel like making anything." I went upstairs to my room after Emmett nodded his head in agreement.

I went into my bathroom and filled up the tub for my bath. I lit some of the candles around the tub and went to get my iPod from my backpack. I found my relaxation playlist, which was classical music. I placed the iPod on the dock, took of my clothes and got into the warm water. I could feel the stress melt away and the music drowned out my brothers yelling at that stupid game.

I got out fully relaxed, dried off and went into my room. I got a bra and panties out of my dresser and put them on. I opened my closet trying to decide what I wanted to wear. All of a sudden, all of brothers ran into my room. They all had Nerf guns in their hands and were firing at each other. They haven't notice me yet but it wouldn't last for long

"Bells, where the fuck are your clothes?" Once Paul pointed out that, they all turned the heads to look at me and quickly ran out the room.

"Belly, why would you walk around your room in your underwear?" Emmett yelled at me running out of my room. I have now reached a new level of embarrassment that I didn't even know existed. I got dress in sweats and one of Emmett's old football t-shirt.

I knew I had to face them sooner rather than later. So, I slowly walked downstairs and saw they were all sitting on the couches staring at the blank TV. "Uhm guys, can we forget that ever happened? Just remember next time to knock before you barge into my room. Why did you even come into my room?"

They all exchanged looks deciding if they should tell me or not. Finally, Seth answered my question. "We were playing real life Call of Duty. Your room was the safe room. We didn't mean to walk in on you Bella." They all looked at me with sad looks on their faces as if they were 5 year old children that just did something terribly wrong.

"Cheer up guys. You learned your lesson and it won't ever happen again right?" I looked into each one eyes.

They chorused together "Yes Bella."

"So what kind of pizza does everyone want?" The incident was never talked about again.

"Come in Seth." Seth opened the door and made his way over to my bed. He took a seat on my bed and looked at me for a while. I knew he was trying to figure out how to broach the subject of Edward.

I took pity on him because I wanted him to leave so I could get to sleep. "Seth I really like him and we are going for coffee tomorrow morning."

Seth took a couple minutes to collect his thoughts. "I am happy for you. I will cover for you if anyone starts asking where you are."

"Thanks Seth, for always having my back." He has helped me out of a couple sticky situations with my brothers before. Seth always has my back and I have his.

"Goodnight Bella and have fun tomorrow. Love you." Seth leaned down and gave me a kiss on my cheek.

"Love you too big brother." I said has he started to leave my room. I figured I would stroke his ego a bit with the big brother comment. He seemed kind of sad throughout our conversation. Seth normally had a similar loud and funny personality like Emmett but unlike Emmett, he knew when to reel it in.

Seth turned around and gave me a small smile before he shut the door. I was thankful that Seth never asked a lot of questions and our conversations could range anywhere from a couple of minutes to hours.

Thankfully, Paul was still working so I could avoid talking to him until tomorrow. I would probably tell Ben the next time I saw him. I just hope that my brothers that know about Edward and I can keep their mouths shut. I turned off my light and quickly fell asleep imagining Edward's and I date tomorrow.

Don't forget to review!
