A/N: Yay new chapter! Sorry it took awhile getting this up. I had a bit of a writer's block, and then I lost my internet connection for a few weeks... So anyway, here it is!

Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight. And this counts for every other chapter that's after this one!


A Lost Bet

A Plan Is In Action

"Hello, how are you today?" I ask the overdressed lady. She smiles politely at me, secretly ogling my body. I groan inwardly. This is so embarrassing.

"I'm very well, thank you. How are you?" She says in an airy tone. I start scanning the items she had placed on the belt.

"I'm good, thank you." This is so boring. I say the same thing every day. I'm so going to get Alice for this... I just don't know what I can do with out her seeing it. With out her seeing it in her vision. "That's it!" I accidentally blurt out loud, causing the lady to jump.

"Excuse me?"

I look down at the belt noticing that I'm done with her order. "That's it. That'll be sixty-seven dollars and eighty-two cents please." I cover up my outburst. She can't see anything if it involves werewolves! Now, all I have to do is convince Jacob to be involved in something. That shouldn't be hard, I know that Bella has been itching to see Jacob. She doesn't want me to know she misses Jacob, but every time Charlie mentions something about Billy Black or Jacob, she twitches. And I do know that Jacob would love to spend time with Bella... No. I won't use Bella as a bet. Or bait for that matter. But how can I get to Jacob?

Who in my family is a great match to go against Jacob in? Emmett for sure, but I don't think they should wrestle. A race? Hmm... Yes, a race! On motorcycles! Oh, Jasper would love to test out his bike. And Jacob would love to beat a vampire, even if it's in a race. Alice, would want Jasper to win.. But she won't be able to see the future. Because of a certain werewolf named Jacob Black.

"Jacob? Why do you want to talk to him? Is something wrong? Did Alice see something? I mean the Volturi isn't supposed to come yet, our wedding is in a few days!" Bella starts panicking. I just chuckle.

"No, love, there's nothing wrong. I just want to talk to Jacob. Does there have to be anything going on to talk to him?"

"Well, yeah. Mortal enemies ring a bell?" She scrunches up her forehead.

"Yeah it does, but this is different. He'll want to do what I ask him." Bella shakes her head.

"Why do I get a feeling that you don't want to tell me what's going on?"

"I can't tell you..."

"And why is that?!?" She shouts. Her face showing her frustration.

"Because she'll see it." I say hoping she gets the hint.

"Ooh. The bet?" I nod my head and extend my hand.

"Give me Jacob's number." She writes it down quickly and I dial it on my cell phone.

"Hello?" I groggy voice comes through the receiver.

"Hello Jacob." I say politely.

"What do you want leech?" He sneers in to the phone. I smile, even though I know he can't see me, Bella can see my reaction.

"I have a proposition for you." He sighs. "I need to get back at a certain sister of mine for a bet, and what a perfect way she can lose is if somehow you're involved in it."

"What's in it for me? The feeling of greatness in my heart for helping the heartless?" I chuckle.

"You can... Hold on for a sec." I look at Bella and put my hand over the mic. "Hey love?"

"Yes?" She says breaking out of her daze.

"Do you want to hang out with Jacob?" She looks at me cautiously. "You know for like a day."

"Um. I'm not really sure if he wants me to. It'll be really hard."

"Okay, but what if he does?"

"What are you getting at Edward?" She asks becoming frustrated again.

"Well, if Jacob is involved in this he needs a reason why... So if you want, I'll say he can hang with you for a day?" Bella starts to smile.

"Okay. If it's fine with you, it's fine with me." I nod and take my hand off the mic.

"Jacob?"

"Yes, I'm still here."

"Great, I'll let you have Bella for one day."

"Oh awesome, one day." He says sarcastically. I roll my eyes.

"Okay, two." Bella glares at me and just shrug.

"Fine. What do you want me to do?"

"Race... Jasper... on the motorcycle." I say confidently.

"Really? Wait the military guy?"

"Yeah, him. I'll bet that you can win. And Alice won't know who will win, because it's involving you." I say, not mentioning the fact that he's a werewolf. I'm trying to be sweet and nice so he'll say yes. Please say yes.

"Sure, that would be awesome! Seeing that bloodsucker's face when he loses! Ha, you're on leech. All I have to do is win, and I get Bella for two full days? Like she stays with me?" I look at Bella. I can't stay away from her for that long.

"Uh, Jacob, I don't think that's such a good idea..." I say slowly and then he snorts.

"Right, you can marry the girl and have her for eternity, and I can't even have her for two days!" I see the bet slowly slipping away... I need to act quickly.

"Wait. Hold on again." Bella stares at me, as I place my hand over the mic again. "Two full days?" She glares at me and shakes her head.

"I can't do that!" I nod and takes my hand off the mic.

"She's willing to do..."

"Six hours." She tells me.

"Six hours each." I say in to the phone. I hear Jacob nod in to the phone and he sighs.

"Deal. I'll win leech. But it's not for you."

"And somehow, I'm a little okay with that." I say matter-of-factly. I tell him to meet me at the border tomorrow at three o'clock, since I'm working nine to two. We'll race in Forks, because Forks is neutral, I guess. We say our "nice" good-byes, and I hang up the phone. "Excellent."

"Don't you think you're going to over board on this bet thing?" Bella asks me as a lean back in the chair.

"No, this is exactly what I need to do. Alice will understand." Just then my phone rings and I answer it knowing who it is. "Hello Alice."

"Why do you suddenly disappear? Edward Cullen! What are you planning?!?!?" I laugh at Alice's lack of vision. "This isn't funny! Now I see that Jasper's disappearing too! I'm going to get you..."

"Alice we're going to meet at the border tomorrow at three. Bring Jasper and his motorcycle okay?"

"What?!? What are you thinking brother?"

"That's something I'll know and you won't." She growls. I start laughing some more and Bella grimaces at Alice's frustration, being heard from my phone I assume. "Bye sister."

"EDWARD-" I hang up the phone, and Bella starts giggling.

"She's really mad isn't she?"

"No, just frustrated." I chuckle. Bella gets up from her seat and curls up in my lap. I wrap my arms around her as she rests her head under my chin. I breathe in her wonderful scent and smile. "I can't wait until you're Mrs. Cullen." I whisper in to her hair.

"Me too." She says closing her eyes. "Because then, I can start getting in on these bets." I feel her smile against my chest. I smile too, chuckling to myself.

"You are truly amazing, love."

"And so are you. I can't believe you're going to make Alice go through one month of no shopping!"

"It's got to be done. That'll teach her a lesson to not to mess with Edward Masen Cullen." Bella laughs at what I said.

"OoOoh tough guy." I laugh a little, causing Bella to laugh as well. "I love you." She says and kisses my neck. I lift her face so I can look in to her eyes.

"I love you too, Bella." She smiles at me.

"You're excited for tomorrow aren't you?" I nod and smile really big.

"Yes. But not as excited as I am for the wedding. This is just a little payback thing I need to do."

"And I'm behind you all the way."

"Thanks, love." I can't wait til tomorrow. I just want to see the look on Alice's face when she finds out that she can't shop for one month. But that's what she gets for making me work at the horrid Thriftway. I will never ever, not in a million years, work there again!


A/N: Whew! That was long. I'm sorry, but I just couldn't figure out where to end it. Not much of a cliffy. Kind of stinky but it suits. I would like some feedback. Should Edward win the bet? Or should he have to work another month at Thriftway? So, what are you waiting for? The purple button likes to be clicked on you know.
