Edward was instantly reminded why he didn't drink, especially why he didn't drink "jungle juice" or "Tuba punch" or whatever it was called. You could throw back a few cups and the effects wouldn't hit you for awhile, but when it hit you it was like a mack truck of alcohol and you had no idea what the hell you were doing. Then the next morning you had a headache that was similar to what all head wound victims might have had shortly before death. The only difference was they were dead and you were suffering for the rest of your life… or until the effects wore off.

Edward decided not to open his eyes as he suffered in bed, damning his idea of sleeping right under the window where the midmorning sun glared right in. He clutched onto the full body pillow in bed with him, willing the monster of a headache to flee.

Wait… full body pillow?

Edward didn't have a full body pillow, then again when he was drunk weird shit happened, he decided to investigate. He ran one of his hands along the full body pillow and quickly he returned it to its original position when he felt something that he really shouldn't had.

Theres a girl in my bed. A B cup girl, in my bed. Please oh please let it be the girl I want it to be. Edward began to mentally chant as he prepared his eyes to open. When they finally did he was greeted with a curtain of chocolate colored hair.

With a sigh of relief he began to check their clothes to assess the damage. He appeared to be shirtless, but still wearing the pants from the night before. Edward quickly yanked on the curtain behind his head, shutting half of the window as he looked at her. Bella appeared to be wearing his orange shirt, and the skin tight pants he found her in the night before.

Their clothed state alerted him to the fact that they hadn't done much, at least not in the room, he mentally puzzled over why Bella was wearing his shirt as he looked beyond her to see if Jacob was in his bed.

Instead of his giant roommate, there was tiny Alice, and Rosalie, curled up in Jacob's bed. Alice was no longer wearing her giant confederacy era dress, but what looked like Jasper's generic 44 jersey. He quirked an eyebrow What is going on?

The menu page for the Fifth Element was showing on the movie screen, they might have tried to watch it but it was muted at the moment. He looked at the floor and saw Jasper sprawled out face down in front of Jacob's desk and in Edward's chair was a sleeping Emmett.

A naked sleeping Emmett

What the fuck?!?

Edward let his tired head fall back onto his pillows with a moan, banishing the sight from his mind's eye as he pulled Bella closer instinctively. She moaned in response and her hand came to rest on his arm tucked underneath her.

"Why am I naked?" Emmett's voice rang out a few minutes later causing several people to moan out in protest at the loud noise.

"Cus your clothes hate you. Now shut up and get me some advil." Jasper said, muffled. Rustling came from the bed across the room and Bella wimpered in his arms.

"You lost all your clothes to me while we were playing guitar hero, remember? You were allowing us to enjoy the sight as we watched the movie." Rosalie's voice seemed clear, and from what Edward could remember of the first party, she hadn't drunk as much as the rest of them.

"Shut up, shut up, shut up," Bella half said half wimpered as she turned in his arms to nuzzle his chest. He took a moment to enjoy the feeling before she sat up and looked at him.

"Where am I?"

"My dorm apparently."

"How did I get here?"

Edward shrugged, trying to figure that out myself. He couldn't remember much after we got to the third party that they hopped to, the marching band parties that were notoriously crazy. She groaned and fell back down.

"Please chop off my head or shut the curtains." Edward leaned forward and pulled the curtains close.

Edward fell back to his original position on the bed, trying to focus on Bella in his arms rather then the pain in his head. He could feel Emmett yank the spare fleece off the foot of his bed, he mentally told himself to wash the said fleece at a later date.

The room returned to quiet as the group made a silent pact to not move or make noise until they felt more up to it, despite the confusion as to why they were there in the first place.

The nice quiet was disrupted by a loud bang as the door flung open.

"Hello everyone!" Jacob's voice bellowed, he was sure all but Rosalie groaned in response.

"It's not everyday you wander out of a sorority house to find a bunch of beautiful ladies in your bed, none the less, I need you ladies to move so I can recuperate from my night of conquering sorority girls."

"You left with a Kappa Kappa Gamma, that's not conquering, that's increasing your risk of STDs" Rosalie said.

"Yeah, still got laid though. We used protection so yeah whatever." Jacob said weakly, making scooting motions so that the girls would get off his bed.

"I hope you get AIDS." Edward grumbled, his eyes still screwed shut as he mentally glared at his loud roommate. Bella snickered into his chest, her arms still wrapped around him.

"Whats Bella doing in your bed?"

"We were tired and most of us were drunk so we decided to stay here, and Edward was already half asleep on his bed, so he invited Bella to stay with him." Edward could all but hear the smirk on Rosalie's face.

"Okay so why are you guys in here, Jasper and Emmett's dorm are right down the hall."

"We were watching a movie!" Alice piped up, seeming happy to remember something "And we needed to protect Bella's virtue."

"And Edward's." Jasper added, still muffled.

With one last groan he sat up and actually glared at his roommate, before he could say anything he looked at the time.

"Wow it's noon already?" The statement caused Bella to sit up so fast her head almost collided with his.

"Shit we're going to be late for work!" She slid out of bed, and located her shoes as Edward watched, confused. Alice also untangled herself and looked around for some suitable pants. Satisfied with the pair of PJ pants Jacob gave her, she bent down to kiss motionless jasper on the head before leaving the dorm room. Bella followed her, turning to wave at Edward before the door slammed shut.

"What the hell just happened?"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

After Bella left for her job at the concession stand at the dome, Edward hid under the covers, seeing no point in leaving his little haven to incur the wrath of his headache. Giggling, Emmett and Rosalie disappeared leaving the (now dubbed "naked") fleece draped over a now-snoring Jasper. Jacob also crawled into his bed for a mid afternoon nap.

Eventually Edward crawled out of bed and donned his aviators to go get food, being the good friend he was, he brought a box of donuts to his roommate and extremely hungover friend.

He spent the afternoon doing mindless tasks, as Jasper relocated from the floor to Edward's bed, damning the half a bottle of jack he had the night before. Edward decided it would be best if tonight was a "quiet study night."

It was getting late when Jacob changed and left, heading over to a friend's to hang out. Jasper was now functioning, but seeing as Rosalie appeared to still be in their room, Jasper allowed himself to be sexiled and stayed in Edward's room, reading the book on the Civil War he had left in there as they watched tv. Edward finally forced himself to gather his clothes and go downstairs to do laundry. Content to allow the night to become as dull as the rest of them and living off the satisfaction that he woke up with Bella in his arms.

He continued to dwell on the memory of how warm Bella was as he chucked his clothes into washers.

"Nice boxers." The statement yanked him out of his daze as he looked up at the girl he was just daydreaming about. Otto the Orangeman boxers were clutched in his hands, about to go into the washing machine.

"Bella!" Edward mentally applauded himself on not blushing.

"Hi, I thought I'd stop by before I headed back up to the mount."

"But," Edward laid out a mental map of the campus. The dome and the mount were practically right next to each other, while Booth was on the opposite end of the campus. "Wasn't it a bit out of your way?"

"Yeah, but I had to talk to you before I lost my confidence." Edward stared at her blankly, waiting for her to continue. She stood in front of him biting her lip as the dryer behind him shuddered to a stop. Automatically he turned to look at it, and when he looked back at Bella she was much closer.

"Last night, I spent a lot of the night hoping something would happen, but then we both got drunk, really really drunk and I wasn't sure if it happened or not and I kinda still want it to happen." She said quickly.

"Like what?"

She took in a deep breath before standing up on her tippy toes to bring their faces much closer together. Their lips collided quickly and Edward quickly dropped his boxers to wrap his arms around her, keeping her close to him, feeling her hands clutch his sides.

The kiss was innocent, and after a moment she stepped away, leaving Edward dazed.

"A goodnight kiss, I'll see you later." Bella turned to leave, grabbing her work hat off the ground where she appeared to have dropped it.

"Wait Bella!" Edward said, following her into the empty lobby, she turned nervously to face him.

Edward decided that Bella blushing was one of the most beautiful things on the planet, next to her laughing. He swallowed his fears, now assured that she liked him as much as he liked her.

"There's a question that I wanted to ask you last night that I didn't get the opportunity to ask."

"What's that?" She suddenly became very concerned with the state of her shoes.

"Would you be my girlfriend?" Edward smiled as her head shot up to look at him. She smiled in return as she flung her arms around his neck and hugged him.

"Is that a yes?"

She nodded into the crook of his neck and he resisted the urge to fully pick her up and do things with her on the couch that he would not want his parents to walk in on.

They continued to stand there innocently hugging until his R.A. walked in through the lounge doors, casting a glance at the pair of them before going into the laundry room.

Edward used all of his will power to push Bella away so he could look at her face. He smiled as he forced himself to remind her that he was in the middle of a task before she arrived.

"Do you want to stick around while I do my laundry?" She nodded again, seeming speechless as he led her into the laundry room again. His R.A. rushed to finish grabbing her clothes out of the dryer that had stopped.

Bella sat on top of a washing machine as Edward finished throwing his clothes into his own washing machine. She made little jokes about whatever boxers he had that wasn't just plain plaid, forcing him to make comebacks as he poured soap in and put quarters into the machine.

"Seriously though, little money marks? What are you? Scrooge?"

"Why would Scrooge have money symbols on his boxers?"

"If he lived in modern times, he would totally have money symbols on his boxers, and all his emails would have the footer 'Bah humbug.'" Bella smiled widely as Edward stepped between her legs.

"Do you often imagine what famous book characters boxers would look like if they had any?"

"Harry Potter has Snitches on his."

"Of course, of course." Edward held onto her hips as her arms encircled his neck. "Should I be jealous that you think about Harry Potter's boxers?"

"I think you would look better in them."

"Why thank you." Edward said, before pulling Bella to him.

Edward was sure that he could spend the rest of his life kissing Bella, even though this was the second time he had done it. Her lips were soft and fit against his perfectly, and her body seemed to meld with his. She brought her legs around his waist to bring him closer and the kiss turned much deeper.

Edward felt Bella's hand thread through his hair when he heard the cough from the door way, the pair turned to see a guy.

"That's my washing machine you're uh… on." He said, smirking in away that made Edward want to stand in front of Bella.

"Sorry!" Bella said as she jumped down, Edward said nothing as he led her away towards the elevator.

Once in the safety of the elevator, Edward turned to Bella.

"In the pursuit of honesty and all that, I just wanted to apologize."

"For what?" Bella hit the button for his floor before turning to face Edward.

"For accidentally groping you this morning."

"It's okay, but I'm not going to apologize for purposefully groping you last night. And that's that." Bella had a joking tone in her voice as she watched the floor numbers light up over the door.

"I feel scandalized." Edward crossed his arms over his chest, acting like he was offended and scarred.

"No, you feel good."

XXXXXXXXXXX

Jasper kept glaring at the pair sitting on Edward's bed as the night progressed, causing Edward to ignore him as he lived through the bliss that he never had in Chicago.

"Seriously, I had a rough day, I should go back to my dorm and sleep." Bella said as she nestled further into his arms.

"I'm not stopping you from going back." Contrary to his words, his arms tightened around her.

"You guys make me sick!" Jasper finally exclaimed.

"Fine!" Bella moved to sit up, but Edward pulled her back.

"No don't listen to the bitter confederate!"

"Listen to the confederate! Ya really should! Actually I might go up to the mount. Would Alice be back in the dorm by now?"

"She would have been back an hour ago, she's only a manager, not a slave." Managers had to stick around to count what hadn't been sold. They also got to wear nifty polos instead of smocks. Edward had learned that the last time he went to a football game.

"That reminds me, since you guys work, does that mean you can't go to the game with the rest of us?" Edward asked.

"I was planning on taking the day off, football games are a hassle, I hear its great working during basketball season. If it isn't then I'm going to quit and work somewhere else." Bella played with one of Edward's hands as she answered.

"That'd be good."

"Although, I'd probably just go to hang out with you guys. I don't really like football."

Jasper's mouth dropped as he sat up in the beanbag chair on Jacob's side of the room. "What?"

"You heard me." Jasper was about to make a comment when the door flung open to reveal a disheveled Rosalie.

"Did I leave my shoes in here?" Edward pointed to the floor of the closet where he had knocked her shoes earlier. "Great thanks." She went over to the closet to grab her shoes. She narrowed her eyes at Bella and Edward as she slipped her shoes on. "When did you two get all cuddly?"

"This afternoon" Jasper replied, his eyes returning to his book.

"Finally. Emmett and I are going up to the mount, you guys in?"

"Yeah, I should probably go shower or something." Bella said mournfully as she moved slightly from Edward's arms. He didn't try to hold her back, he just pouted at her.

"I want to go hang out with Alice." Jasper said as he stood up, adjusting his clothes. "Just let me go dump my stuff in my room and yell at my roommate for sexiling me all day."

"He's not going to care if you yell at him, he's too happy from the last time."

"Ew too much information" Edward said, falling back on to the bed and letting Bella's torso block Rosalie.

He heard the door shut signaling Jasper leaving, and he looked at Bella as she shifted to face him. "You should come with us to the mount, seeing as we're all going to be up there, except for Jacob, where is he?"

Edward just shrugged. "He's off with some friends I guess. As for the mount, let me think, hang out with my friends or sit alone in my room… tough decision…." Bella's giggle was interrupted by Rosalie.

"Edward, you have an extra ticket to the next game right?" Edward sat up again.

"Yes?"

"Can my sister come? She wants to drive up to visit."

"Broken arm?"

"Broken leg, but she drives an automatic. Well, she drives my automatic, because I can't have the car here until next year." She glared into space at the rule. "Anyways, she's coming up to visit, and she likes football. She can be a tom boy from time to time. She wants to be a mechanical engineer." Pride seeped into her voice as she talked about her sister.

"Jacob's a mechanical engineer, maybe he can give her some tips."

"Really? He's not in any of my classes."

"That's because you're in sophomore and junior level courses and he isn't."

At that point Edward cut in, "You're a mechanical engineer?"

"Yes" She straigtened her back and glared at him, "Do you have a problem with a girl who wants to build cars?"

"Nah, I think it's cool, but I had you pegged for chemical, not mechanical."

"Whats your major anyways?"

Edward paused a moment before responding. He hadn't actually chosen yet but he was pretty sure what direction he wanted to go in, he just had to get around his father. "Pre-med"

"Nice!" The door opened to reveal Emmett and Jasper.

"Lets rock and roll people."

It was getting close to 11 and the entire group was sitting in Alice's room, staring intently at the screen as Bond narrowly avoided getting killed by some villain with a ridiculously long victory speech when Edward's phone rang. Edward quickly got up and left the room as people continued to focus on Bond's cunning escape, only Bella acknowledged him getting up by making a quiet noise of protest.

"Edward speaking" He said into the phone as he leaned against the wall of the hall.

"Edward you have to come over now." Carlisle's voice rang clearly into the phone.

"It's 11! I'm not going to walk all the way there at night!"

"I have important news for you!"

"Did something bad happen?"

"No, something wonderful."

"What?"

"I'm not going to tell you over the phone, I might as well go pick you up so we can go out and celebrate."

What the-? "Celebrate? I'm on the mount."

"Actually, you know what?" Edward could suddenly hear Esme's giggling in the background.

"How about we meet for lunch tomorrow? I have news but um… I think I have stuff to do. Bye!" Without another word Carlisle hung up. Edward shook his head as he tucked his phone back into his pocket.

I will never get that image out of my head, I'm never going to not knock again. Gross.

Bond and M bantered on the screen as he walked back into the dorm room.

"Who was it?" Bella whispered into Edward's ear as he slid into the small seat with her.

"My weird cousin." She nodded in response and they both fixed their gaze back on the screen.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXx

The movie ended and Alice kicked them all out (except for Jasper). Before they could even blink Rosalie and Emmett disappeared off to her room.

"I'ma walk Bella to her room," Edward said to Jacob, who had showed up after he had been called to join them. "Can you wait for me in the lobby?"

"Sure and uh…" Jacob leaned closer to whisper to Edward as Bella looked at the bulletin board. "Good job on growing a pair."

Edward hit Jacob on the shoulder before grabbing Bella's hand and going to her dorm with her. Jacob's laughter trailed off as he went to the lobby.

"So uh, this is my stop." Bella nervously shifted her wait as she brought one hand up to grasp her other arm.

Say it Edward, Say it!

"Yeah, so, if we're dating, we should probably go on a date."

"That is the definition of dating." Bella smiled up at him. Edward could only nod.

"How about Monday night?" He ventured, leaning against her door frame.

"Monday night is good." Bella said, stepping closer to him.

"Alright then, Monday night."

"Monday night."

"Yes. Mon-"

"Shut up and kiss me Edward."

Unwilling to upset a lady, Edward did as he was told. Innocent at first, the kiss quickly turned fierce, and he moved her against the door as her fingers threaded through his hair. He used his whole body to press her against the door, and almost completely lost himself in her. After a few moments, the need for air stopped him.

"I should… go and uh… bed." Bella said.

"Night." Edward stepped back to give her a small amount of space to move.

"Night!" She said before turning around and opening the door. With one last look at him, she turned around and shut the door.

He barely took one step away from the room when he heard a scream. Edward spun around as Bella yanked open the door and quickly slammed it shut behind her.

"Can open, worms everywhere!" She loudly exclaimed, before all but running into Edward's open arms.

"What's wrong?"

"Victoria was having sex on my bed!"

Edward wrapped his arms tightly around Bella, "you have got to get a transfer."

She let out a cry of agreement as Edward tugged her towards the lobby.

"Come on, you can crash with Jacob and me, I'll sleep on the floor."

Bella nodded weakly and let Edward lead her towards the lobby.
