You'll find out everyone's costumes and if Edward likes Bella's.

Who is barging in on Edward and Bella's alone time in the hot tub?

Tanya once again harasses Bella.

Read to find out the details.

I turned to look. Of course. It was Tanya.

"What is it Tanya?"

"Alice wants to see you guys to talk about your costumes for tonight." She kept looking at me, giving me evil glares.

This time it was Edward who cleared his throat. He knew what she was thinking and didn't like it. She darted her eyes to him.

'Tell Alice we'll be in after we dry off."

She turned and walked away.

He turned to me. "Sorry about that."

"Yeah, me too. It was just getting good."

He chuckled, "Yes. Yes it was."

He kissed me and then helped me out. He gave me a towel and we dried off. I put on his shirt and we headed into the house.

"Alice, we're going to go get changed and then we'll be down."

"Don't worry, I'll come up."

We both headed upstairs.

"Edward, can I wear something of yours. I want to be comfortable before I get a shower and Alice plays Barbie with me."

He laughed, "Of course, here…" He handed me his boxers and shirt.

"Thanks." I got changed in the bathroom. I threw my hair in a messy bun. There was no point in trying to brush it. It was frizzy and slightly wet from the mist of the hot tub. I was going to have to get a shower anyways.

I stepped out of the bathroom and Edward said exactly what I thought he would… "You look so sexy. Even sexier since you're wearing my clothes."

I smiled. "I knew you were going to say that." I jumped on the bed and kissed him. We started to really kiss again. He put his hand around my waist to flip me over to where he was on top of me. I had my hands around his waist, stroking his back. He had his hand on my thigh, rubbing up and down my leg. It was starting to get heated.

Then Alice barged in.

"Okay, enough of that. Bella, lets go, I need to talk to you about your outfit." She stopped talking and looked at me. "Oh my god, what are you wearing?"

I started to get off the bed. "What? They're Edward's clothes."

"They're hideous."

"Well Edward thinks I look sexy." I turned and winked at him.

"Oh please, Edward is bias. He thinks you look sexy in anything."

"I know. That's one of the many things I love about him."

I turned and smiled at him.

"Okay, enough. Edward, you need to get out."

He got up, kissed my hand, and then left. I miss him already. Am I pathetic or what?

I turned to Alice.

"Okay, Alice, what am I wearing tonight for my costume? Please, nothing too extravagant."

"It's not. Basic colors and it's not even flashy. No bright pink clothing or glitter or anything like that. Okay?"

"Really? Yeah. That sounds good." I was surprised. "So what is it?"

She turned around and smiled. She lifted it up to show me. I just looked at her and gave her a "No way" glare.

"Don't worry, I've already seen it and Tanya gets jealous."

I laughed. "Really? It's hard to think that someone as beautiful as her would be jealous of me. But regardless, if that's the case then I'm in." She was so happy.

"Wait. What is Edward being?"

"He's going as James Dean."

"Oh wow. He's going to look fantastic." I started to daze off picturing him in the clothes.

"Bella? Hello? Snap out of it!"

"What? Oh, sorry."

"Okay, go put this on and I'll wait out here."

"Okay." So I went into the bathroom. I couldn't believe how revealing this is. I mean it's not too bad, I guess I'm just use to long sleeves and jeans.

First was the short navy skirt with the plaid print. It had some ruffles in it so if I spun it would glide in the wind a little bit. Then there was the light blue button down blouse. But according to Alice, I have to tie it in a knot in the front so it shows my some of my stomach. Then she said after I get a shower I have to dry my hair and she will put it in braids so one lays on each of my shoulders. I was going to have to put on lip gloss, light brown eyes-shadow, and mascara. I also had to wear navy blue high socks and navy shoes. I basically looked like Britney Spears in that "Hit Me Baby One More Time" music video. I mean I know guys find this stuff hot but my concern is if Edward will.

Alice was so excited when I came out. She told me that I needed to feel more confident. That I need to, so to say, "strut my stuff," so when I walk by Tanya she'll be jealous. I find that hard to believe but I'll try.

I got a shower and prepared for the inevitable. She took my hair and braded it. She put a few thin strands of fake blue hair that started from my top hair line and went down, intertwining in my braids. It did make it stand out some. My bangs that I usually push to the side she decided to spread out so it was almost covering my forehead, but not completely. After I put on the entire outfit and the make up, I didn't look half bad. My legs didn't look too bad in the skirt either. It was kind of short though. Alice said that I had to leave it. If I did look bad I know Alice would tell me and make me change. Although it would be mean for her to tell me I look bad, I'd rather her tell me the truth then I go out there looking like a fool. And she knows that.

"Alice, do you think I look okay?"

She looked me up and down. "Yes, you look great Bella." I just smiled at her.

"Do you think…" She cut me off.

"Yes, Edward will like it." She fixed the back of my skirt and then looked at me.

"Thank you Alice."

"You're Welcome."

"So Alice, what are you and Jasper going as?"

"Jasper was feeling a little home sick so he's going as a Civil War soldier."

"Wow, really. That's a great idea. I'm sure he'll feel comfortable." She just smiled, happy that he'll enjoy the night.

"And you?"

"Well me, I'm going as one of those flapper girls from the 1920s. I'll wear the skimpy clothes with the stockings and those pretty hats. I'm super excited."

"That's a really good idea Alice. I can picture it. You'll look great, I'm sure. What about Rose and Emmett?"

"Well Emmett is going as the Incredible Hulk and Rose is going as Marilyn Monroe."

"Oh wow. Good choices. Rose is going to look stunning. How is Emmett going to look like the Hulk? He's not going to paint himself green is he?" I started laughing to myself. That'd be crazy. She didn't say anything, she just looked at me.

"Really? Wow. Dedication." She just let out a laugh and nodded. "What about Carlisle and Esme?"

"Well Esme is going as a cowgirl and Carlisle is going as a police officer. He has a friend at the hospital that let him borrow his spare uniform."

"Oh wow. Esme will make a beautiful cowgirl. I can see Carlisle as a cop. Sure he has the built and strength as a cop but he's too gentle and kind to be violent with others." We both started laughing.

"Carmen and Eleazar are going as two lovers in the Renaissance era. Kate, Irina, and Tanya are going as those 3 Sanderson sisters from the movie 'Hocus Pocus'."

"Oh, wow. That's a good idea. The 3 witches. Creative."

"Well it's 7:30pm. I have to get ready. The party starts at 8pm so make sure you're down stairs by then. Okay?"

"Okay. Don't worry. I'll come down. Can you come by and get me first? So we can walk down together. If you are standing next to me then all the attention will go to you. I'd like that better."

She just rolled her eyes at me. "If that's what you'd like then yes, I will." She skipped off. I shut the door and went to look at myself in the mirror again. I hope I don't look silly. I feel kind of silly. Edward will tell me I'm crazy for thinking of that.

I was fidgeting for the half hour. It went by so slowly. Finally I heard a knock and it was Alice. I opened the door and she came in.

"Okay, you ready?"

"Wow! Alice! You look amazing!"

She did a twirl. I could tell she agreed. "Thank you."

"I'm sure Jasper will enjoy the view." She smiled and put her hand on my back to push me out into the hallway.

"Let's go." Alice didn't want me to delay this any longer. I had a dreadful expression on my face.

"Listen Bella, you are going to have to act sexy and put a confident face on. Act like you're the hottest one down there. Act like every boy in school wants you. Okay?"

I nodded. "Okay."

As we started to walk down the stairs I noticed all the decorations. It was amazing. The lights were off except certain ones that were green and purple. I guess I could describe them as the typical Halloween-colored lights. Not that I really know what that really means. Oh well. There were black and orange balloons on the ground and in the air. There were all different streamers that were black and orange. They also had scattered pumpkins around the house that were carved and had candles in them. Human food was on one of the long tables in the living room. I'm gathering it is for me. I wasn't going to argue though, that's the last thing Edward wants. They had good music on too. Right now it was that song "Monster Mash." It fit the scene.

As we were going down the stairs Alice whispered to me.

"He's coming, strut it."

"Shut up Alice. I don't even know what that means."

"Just do it!"

I nudged her, telling her basically to be quiet.

Then I saw him. He had his hair twirled like James Dean. Edward's hair is bronze so he didn't look out of place. He had a black fitted t-shirt and a red jacket on. He had on dark blue jeans that are folded at the bottom. He also had white socks on that showed at the bottom of his pants and then finished with black shoes. I'm sure Alice can take credit for the clothing. She probably picked out every costume in the room.

Edward was talking to Emmett but stopped and turned when he saw me. His mouth dropped as he looked me up and down. I may have been uncomfortable when Mike did that but I was nothing but flattered when Edward did it. I felt myself blushing. Great. Me and my damn blushing. I'm sure Emmett will have something to say.

I walked up to him. He was about to speak when Emmett had to jump in.

"Damn Bella. You're smokin'. Every man's fantasy. Hot-ass school girl." He kept shaking his head while looking at me in disbelief. Then Rosalie walked by and slapped the back of his head. I couldn't help but let out a laugh.

"Emmett, stop. Please," I asked him.

"Whatever. I'm just saying, you look hot."

"I'll take that as a compliment, I guess. So thank you."

"Okay. I'll be back. I have to go apologize to Rosie. I'm sure she's not too happy I just told my brother's girlfriend she looks hot." She'll get over it.

Edward turned to me and whispered, "Ms. Swan, you look amazing." I once again blushed.

"Thank you." We smiled at each other. "You'll have to let Alice know that her pick was fitting."

"I most certainly will."

"I was just worried if it was too revealing. Do you think?"

"Mmm... lets just say I'm glad every man in here is taken. If not, then I'd be worried. Who knows how many men would be hitting on you. I'd have to set up a barrier."

I giggled. "You're ridiculous." He smiled at me.

We looked at each other and then I got on my tippy-toes and kissed him. He lifted me up some so he didn't have to bend down.

I stopped him. "Edward."

"What?"

I blushed. "You're pulling up the back of my skirt."

"Oh, I'm sorry." He put me down.

He started to fix the back of my skirt for me and his hand brushed against my ass. He looked at me not knowing what to say. He probably was wondering if I noticed. Of course I did.

"Mr. Cullen you're getting fresh. I thought that was against the rules."

He smiled back at me. "Can we forget the rules tonight?"

"Really? All the rules?"

"Bella…"

"I know, I know. But you did say we could touch. Is that still okay? Just not too much touching, right?"

"Yes. That seems reasonable."

"It better be because I wasn't going to promise to any major touching restrictions."

"You're a handful."

"I'm sure in that mind of yours you're no better."

"That may be so but at least I control myself."

"I have no reason to keep my control. I love you and want to give you every part of me. If that requires to lose some control then so be it."

He just smiled at me. He didn't know what to say.

I looked over at the refreshment table. "Edward, did they buy this food just for me?"

"They wanted to make you feel comfortable."

I started to object but then I just let it go.

"What, no argument?"

I looked at him. "Do you want me to eat or not?"

"Yes. Of course."

I smiled at him. I took a plate and put some pretzels, chips, and cookies on it.

"Wow this is healthy."

"Bella, it's a party, enjoy yourself."

"Okay. But I'm not eating too much. There may be certain activities going on later that I don't want to be too full to not be able to participate in them."

"Well, you may need energy for those activities so I think eating is appropriate."

"Mm... I guess I should then." I ate some of each thing I put on my plate.

We sat down on the couch. It sunk in a little so that I was leaning on Edward. I didn't mind and I don't think he did either.

I fixed my skirt some and crossed my legs. I didn't want to give anyone a peep show tonight. Well, no one except Edward.

I felt like I was showing too much on my one thigh. I took Edward's hand that was around my waist and moved it down to put on my outer thigh. He jolted and looked at me.

"Sorry, I just feel like if I move someone will see up my skirt. This way you're blocking their view."

He smiled and didn't budge. I like the way his hands felt on my skin. It was amazing.

We sat there for a few minutes. I leaned on chest with my head under his chin. Then Tanya walked by and stood in front of us.

"Oh hi Tanya," I said.

"Hello Bella. Nice costume."

"Oh. Thanks. Alice picked it out for me."

"Yeah. She likes to play dress up."

"Oh yeah. I know. She does it to me all the time at home." Me and Edward both looked at each other and laughed.

"Well, you enjoy the party." Before I could reply she walked away. Geez.

"Geez. What was her deal?"

"She is just jealous that you're sitting so close to me. And she didn't miss the fact that my hand is on your thigh."

I looked down and blushed. I put my head against his chest so he couldn't see my face.

He chuckled. "You should be glad. I get to touch you all I want and you have other girls jealous of that fact."

I looked at him. "Yeah, I guess I should be glad. And you should too. Especially about the fact that you can touch me all you want. Any time and any where. With my body, there are no restrictions. You keep that in mind."

He rolled his eyes and sat back.

"Edward. I'm going to go get a soda from the refrigerator."

"Okay love." He got up to help me off the couch.

"Thanks. That's the last thing I need – to fall flat on my face in front of your cousins. Your family gets enough of that at home." I'm sure he enjoyed that. Me referring his house as "home." Come to think of it, I rather enjoyed it too.

I walked over to the refrigerator. I hope they have Diet Coke. I'm craving it.

I opened the fridge. I grabbed the Coke from the bottom shelf and when I closed it Tanya was there. I jumped back. She startled me.

I put my hand over my chest. "Whoa. Tanya, you scared me."

"Oh sorry about that." Her tone sounded as though she wasn't sorry. Whatever. I didn't care. I wasn't worried too much about earning her approval.

"Is there something I can help you with?"

"Oh nothing. Wasn't sure if you needed help finding anything." She kept looking me up and down. I wish she'd stop doing that.

"Nope. I got it." I held up the Coke to show her.

"Okay then. Let me know if you need anything."

"Will do."

I headed back over to Edward and sat next to him.

"Everything go okay love?"

"Sure."

"You don't sound 'sure'."

I looked at him. "You know me too well." He just smiled. "It's nothing. Tanya came over to the fridge while I was getting a drink. She didn't really say anything but she wouldn't stop looking me up and down. It was creepy. But oh well. I'm more interested in the way you look me up and down."

He smiled and shook his head. "You are too much, you know that."

"So I've been told."

Emmett ran over. "Heads up. Alice saw Tanya put alcohol in your drink that she'll offer you after she 'accidently' spills your current soda all over your blouse. No one is allowed to mess with my little sister except for me." He winked at me. "Here she comes. Play it cool."

He walked past Tanya, "Hey Tanya, what's up?" and then continued walking. Yeah, he was playing it 'cool' alright.

"Bella, can you come over here with me, I have to show you something."

"Sure." Edward helped me up. I gave him a look and then headed into the next room with Tanya.

We walked and I could no longer see Edward.

"So, what did you want to show me?"

"Oh nothing. I just thought maybe you'd want a break from Edward."

"Why would you think that?"

"Well I know from experience that he can be somewhat clingy. He'll want to be on you all the time. It was like that for us."

"I don't mind if he wants to be all over me all the time. I rather like it. And I didn't know you guys were together before." I knew they weren't. I just was interested in where she was going with this.

"Oh yeah, years ago. Way before your time. We were really serious."

"Oh wow. I'll have to ask him about it."

She quickly snapped. "Oh, no. He probably won't want to talk about it. He'll probably even deny it. The boy doesn't take rejection well."

"Wow. I can't believe you would break up with him. He's so kind, giving, and of course, handsome."

"Yeah, that he is. I mean I can tell he still has feelings for me but he's with you so…"

"You really think he still has feelings for you?" She is so full of it. I can't believe she actually thinks I'm buying this.

"Oh yeah, don't you see it?"

"No. I don't. I'll have to pay more attention. Thanks for letting me know. I'll have to rethink things."

"Yeah, you should do that."

I nodded and narrowed my eyebrows as though I was really concentrating about it. Maybe I'm getting better with my acting or she's just oblivious. Maybe a little of both.

"Oh Bella, you have something on your shirt." I looked down.

She went to brush it and purposely hit my soda. I quickly moved and it spilled on her instead. I honestly didn't mean to do that. Although it did work out well for me.

I looked at her with my mouth wide opened. "Oh my god, I'm so sorry Tanya."

"It's fine. I'll just go change."

"Let me help you." I went to wipe off some that was on her cloak.

"No. Don't touch me. I'm fine." Then she walked away.

I turned around to walk toward Edward. He was standing by the couch impatiently.

I was a few feet away from him. "Did you hear that Edward?"

"Only the end when she tried spilling the soda on you. I can't believe you spilled it on her instead!"

"Edward honestly, I just wanted to dodge it. I had no idea that it would get on her."

We both started laughing.

"How come you couldn't hear the rest of the conversation?"

"I was distracted with something else." He tilted his head toward Eleazar and Carmen. "They were speaking to me and I didn't want to be rude and seem distant. I just nodded in understanding.

He sat down again and I sat next to him. Putting his hand where it was before and we both smiled at each other.

"So, what did she say to you?"

"From the beginning?"

"Yes please."

Let's see what happens next! Do Bella and Edward get a little frisky or do they later in the chapters? Or both? There's a game that will be played but is it Emmett that starts it? Read and find out! Please review!
