At what point does it become sketchy to watch your girlfriend sleep?
Edward pondered the answer to the question as he laid behind Bella, his hand propping up his head. Originally he'd been on the floor, but at some point in the night he'd been awaken by talking, Bella's of course. What shocked him was that she sounded terrified. Edward quickly shook her awake, and although he'd been able to deny her earlier when she asked him to sleep with her, he couldn't deny a crying Bella.
So there he was, way too early on a Sunday morning, watching his girlfriend sleep as they were (or what can be loosely defined as) spooning. There was a narrow alley of space between them, which in a way he was thankful, seeing as a certain part of his anatomy was reminding him that he was 18 with a beautiful girl in his bed. That same reason was why he damned the space.
Keep it in your pants Masen.
He had tried to get up and go to the shower but he couldn't get around Bella without waking her, so he stayed there thinking about the steroid problem in baseball.
Suddenly Bella shifted and turned around, Edward made sure his hips didn't brush against her as he smiled.
"Morning."
"You smell minty." Edward smiled as he reached behind himself and lifted the small package of peppermints he had left on his window sill the night before.
"I was trying to see how many I could eat before I get sick of them."
"How many?"
"Five"
"Only five?"
"They're not good ones."
"Will you two shut up? People are sleeping here." Jacob's muffled voice said from across the room.
"You could sleep through a hurricane." Bella said as one of her arms draped over Edward, and she nestled in Edward's chest. He grinned as he laid back down.
"Bella don't you have stuff to do?" Jacob's voice ventured. Bella's response was a sound muffled by Edward's shirt.
"Go away."
"No you."
"What are you guys? Five?" Edward finally cut in.
"Speaking of being five, I'll tell him about Bloomy." The words barely left Jacob's mouth before Bella shot up.
"Don't you dare!" She sounded pretty aggravated to Edward.
"Why don't you guys just shut up then?" Bella's response was to turn around and nestle into Edward's chest, with a mumbled curse and fell asleep. Shortly after Jacob's snores began to fill the room.
This is going to be a long morning.
Edward did his best to try and fall asleep again. Before he knew it, it was two hours later and Bella was groaning as she stood up.
"Edward? Do you have flipflops? I gotta go have a human moment." She said sleepily, Edward pointed to the shoes by the closet as he began to get up himself. She swooped down and pecked him on the cheek before grabbing the spare toothbrush he'd given her the night before and his toothpaste. He sat for a moment, propped up on his pillows as he just smiled. Too happy to stay quiet he began to whistle a 90's tune. He let his heavy eyelids shut.
"Freak" Jacob muttered from his side of the room.
"Jealous" was Edward's retort, before he returned to the tune.
"I do need to get a girlfriend, but one more likely to put out then Bella. You virgins have fun being virgins together."
"Oh shut up." Jacob thankfully did. Edward could hear him get up and slip on his own shoes, opening the door and greeting Bella as he left. Edward opened his eyes to see Bella right in front of him.
"Did you miss me?"
"Terribly" Bella smiled at his response and leaned forward to kiss him. She managed to climb back on his bed without breaking their lips. She sat beside him, leaning over as his arms wrapped around her. After a few moments the broke apart quietly breathing and taking each other in until Bella broke the silence.
"I think I could do that all day."
"I know I could."
"Why can't we again?"
"I have to go talk to Carlisle, he has news."
"Oh," Bella pouted "I probably should get some homework done."
"Maybe, but do you want to stick around until I have to go? We could get breakfast or something?"
"Lets do that."
And they did.

"So part A is complete, on to part B!" Jacob exclaimed seconds after Bella bid the pair goodbye and left their dorm.
"What do you mean part B? We're dating! That was the whole point of the plan in the first place." Edward ran his fingers through his wet hair as he folded his legs on his bed. They had gone to get breakfast, and Edward quickly jumped in the shower as Bella watched Sunday morning cartoons in his t-shirt. The same shirt she was walking up to the dorm in. "Are you guys going to leave me alone now?"
"Fuck no."
"I hate you."
"Don't hate the player, hate the-"
"Do you want to die? Because I can make it happen, I have connections." Edward glared at Jacob.
"Aww come on! You know you love me." Jacob flipped open his phone and hit a few buttons "Emmett, it's time to tell Eddie part B."
Edward rolled his eyes as he heard thudding across the hall. Jasper and Emmett burst through the door and sat down in desk chairs facing Edward.
"Now Edward, don't get all… Edward."
"How am I supposed to not be me?"
"Part B is second base." Jasper cut off Emmett's rebuttal.
"What?" Edward sat up straight, shocked "What is wrong with you guys?"
"Now we all know about the accidental groping yesterday morning…" Jacob began.
"How do you know about that?"
"But it doesn't count." Emmett continued as the trio ignored Edward.
"You have to actually feel skin that is second base."
"Wait…" Jasper turned to Jacob and Emmett "What definition of second base are we using here?"
"Upper body fondling?" Emmett said with a shrug.
"I thought it was heavy petting?" Jasper turned to Jacob.
"I don't want to think of Bella and heavy petting."
"I do." Edward threw his shoe at Emmett as he got off the bed.
"I don't need to hear this, it's our relationship and by our I mean Bella and my relationship. This means that you guys are not involved with it. Because a couple is a twosome not a fivesome." Edward began to pull on his sneakers.
"Edward, if we left you to your own devices you guys would continue to just awkwardly hold hands all the time. We have to make sure that Operation: Leggy Brunette is a success. That way we can tell your children about it, just like we're going to tell Jasper's kids that the confederacy sucks."
"Hey!" Jacob patted Jasper on the back as Jasper glared at Emmett.
"This doesn't change the fact that we will now be dedicated to helping you grope Bella. We'll worry about heavy petting later." Emmett concluded, nodding as he crossed his arms.
"I'm not listening to you guys, my relationship with Bella will continue at a pace we deem okay, not a pace that you guys want." Edward began to look for his keys.
"Edward, trust us. You have no idea what you're doing." Jacob said.
"Yeah! How long were you with Melissa?" Jasper sat up straight in his chair again.
"Michelle, 3 months."
"And how far did you go with Megan?" Emmett leaned forward towards Edward.
Edward didn't say anything as he looked at the ceiling.
"See what we mean? I mean, Bella isn't a skank like Monica but still, you like her and you're awkward. And we're good at this." Jasper and Emmett nodded agreeing with Jacob's statement.
"If I go along with this, will you guys shut up?"
"The point of the plan is to talk you through this."
"What are you gunna stand behind me and coach me as I make out with Bella?"
"Ew, imagery." Jacob made a face. Edward slipped on his aviators as he glared at his so called friends sitting in front of him.
"I'm meeting Carlisle for lunch. I'll see you all later."
"Even though it was accidental what did it feel like?" Emmett shot after Edward as he left the room.
The wonderful friends I have

"So you're dating now?" Carlisle asked as he moved his falafel from his plate to Edward's.
"Yeah and the guys have a plan to make sure I don't 'be all Edward' or whatever" Edward said as he jabbed the falafel with his fork.
"And she slept with you last night."
"Not slept slept, just in the same bed. I was on the floor at first, propriety and all but she had a nightmare so I ended up in bed."
"How'd that go?" A blush filled Edward's cheeks at the question.
"Lets just say that before Bella woke up this morning I thought about baseball alot." Edward averted his gaze from his cousin. When he finally looked up Carlisle had a smile on his face.
"What?"
"My little Edward is growing up!"
"Oh come on!"
"I remember when you ran away from Shelby Conner because you thought she had cooties."
"She drooled on everything! You can't blame an overactive child's imagination for thinking that was cooties!"
"Still." Edward decided to change the topic.
"What's the big news?"
"Esme will be here soon, I'm going to tell you after she arrives." A few minutes later the door flung open and she stepped in; face flush from the cold fall air and a grin splitting her face. Edward saw it before she even sat down.
"Is that grandma's ring?" Edward said a bit louder then he should have. The pair grinned even wider then before if that was even possible and nodded.
"Seriously? You're engaged?" Edward was grinning now. "That's amazing! It's about damn time!"
"That's not all Edward," Esme said, as she clasped Carlisle's hand in her own, "we don't want to wait very long, we're going to get married this winter break, in Chicago."
Edward was sure that he looked like a cartoon, eyes bugging out and jaw dropped to the floor.
"It's going to be a small wedding, you can invite whoever you want to, and we don't mean just one person of course. We just don't want to wait until next year, and we want to be married in the winter." Esme couldn't stop rambling, like she did when she was excited. Carlisle just gazed at her, completely besotted.
"That's great! Have you told Uncle yet?"
"No you're the first." Carlisle tore his gaze away from his fiancée to smile at Edward, "I was kind of wondering if you wanted to be my best man."
"Best man? Really? What about El-"
"He'll be a groomsman, and he'll even throw the bachelor's party if you don't want to, I know how you feel about those kinds of things. But you're like a little brother to me and I want you to be my best man, what do you say?"
"Yes! Of course!" Edward stood up and hugged Carlisle over the table. "I'd be honored, and I'll throw you the greatest bachelor party ever."
"And by you throwing it you mean Emmett via you."
"Yes."
"Of course." Edward sat back down, as Carlisle and Esme scooted closer to each other.
"Esme, I hope you're ready to join our family."
"Oh you know it."

"What's up? You've been practically bouncing all day." Not too far from the Middle Eastern restaurant that Edward had ate at the night before sat Bella, moving around her General Tso's Chicken on her plate, casting a curious glance at her boyfriend.
"Oh nothing, I just got asked to be Carlisle's best man yesterday." Bella dropped the piece of chicken she gingerly lifted with her chopsticks.
"Seriously?"
"Yep, do you want to be my date?"
"I'd love to! When is it? Is it going to be at Hendricks Chapel?"
Edward shook his head, "it's going to be at my Aunt's favorite greenhouse or the church my family goes to."
"Wait what?"
"They're getting married in Chicago over Christmas break."
"I can't afford a plane ticket to Chicago!"
"Oh don't worry about that, I'll take care of it." Edward waved his hand as he picked up a piece of Orange Beef and popped it into his mouth.
"You're going to buy me a plane ticket to Chicago."
Edward nodded as he swallowed, "and to where ever you need to go afterwards, Phoenix or Forks."
"Edward its too much!"
"Seriously, don't worry about it. It's nothing, I'd love to have you come to the wedding."
"But what about everyone else?"
"They're coming too, they just don't know it yet."
"Where are you going to put everyone?"
"I have a big house and a nice mom."
"You're too much Edward." Bella said with a smile.
"Hey! My favorite cousin is getting married-"
"Your only cousin" Bella interjected.
"I'm not going to skimp on the details. Besides, Emmett and Jacob are going to set up the bachelor's party for me and they need to have jasper around and the girls will want to keep an eye on them." Edward smiled widely "And you just have to come to make sure that I don't get bored with them."
"Won't you have your friends from high school with you?" Edward shrugged and looked down at his plate, slightly uncomfortable with the change of topic.
"I doubt they'll be around."
"Why not?"
"Because I probably won't invite them."
"Again, why not?"
"My friends from high school… they were kind of… well… they're dicks." Edward shrugged, "I don't really like hanging out with them anymore, which is one of the reasons why I don't go to the same school as them."
"That has got to suck, why did you hang out with them in the first place?"
"Because they were around I guess." Edward became increasingly uncomfortable with the conversation.
"Why-"
"Do you want to go get dessert after dinner?" Edward hoped he was passing the right message to Bella. She scrutinized him for a moment.
"Okay fine, but I'm paying."
"You can try."
"It's dinner or dessert." Edward felt the corner of his mouth twitch as he began to grin.
"Fine, pay for dessert." Bella threw a victory fist partially in the air, restraining herself from being too exuberant in the restaurant.
"So did you talk to Victoria yet?"
"She says that they were drunk and she thought it was her bed, but she doesn't seem to feel guilty. I know it's petty but I kinda want to get back at her."
"How are you supposed to do that?" Bella shrugged as she ate the last piece of chicken. Edward smiled when a loud voice interrupted their meal.
"Edward Cullen!" Edward turned to face the voice.
"Mr. Aro!" Edward stood up to shake the man's hand.
"Fancy running into you here. I haven't seen you since you were in middle school! You were practicing Bach. I heard you came here now. Pre-law I'm sure." Aro's grin showed an unnatural amount of teeth "Who's the pretty little lady?"
I'm sure Bella loves being called a little lady Edward inwardly winced at his the lack of tact his father's friend had.
"This is my girlfriend Bella, Bella this is my dad's friend Aro. He teaches law at NYC"
Bella graciously stuck out her hand to shake Aro's hand. "Nice to meet you!"
"And you darling." Without another word, Aro turned to Edward "So how do you like the pre-law system here?"
"Just getting all my requirements out of the way, haven't take any real pre-law classes yet."
"As soon as you do, you'll realize that it would be best to transfer to NYC and I'll make sure that you have a spot." Aro said, winking excessively, "Maybe I'll even find a place for the little lady here, oh my associates are signaling me, I must go give a lecture now. Will you be attending Edward?"
"Late study group with some friends for a test tomorrow, I don't want to fail in class."
"Keep that 4.0!" Aro said as he walked away, waving to the pair.
Bella's eyes followed him out the door before she turned to Edward. "So why'd you tell him that you were pre-law? I thought you were pre-med"
"I am, but I don't want my dad to find out through his obnoxious friend. Actually I'd rather he'd never find out but at some point he'd see my doctor's coat or something." Edward grabbed the last piece of chicken on his plate with his chopsticks.
"What's wrong with being a doctor?"
"Nothing, just that it isn't being a lawyer, which is a terrible sin in the eyes of my father."
"What?" Edward realized just how much he was revealing that he definitely did not want Bella to know just yet.
"It's complicated, you never told me what your major is."
"Can you guess?"
"Whatever it is, it has to do with English."
"You right, English Major."
"What do you want to do?"
"Write, teach, get paid for reading. Whatever I can do." Bella said with a smile.
"Someone is getting a book for their birthday." Edward paused for another second "When is your birthday?"
"It was a week or two before we started talking."
"I owe you one then."
"You don't have to." Bella's blush returned which made Edward smile. They were becoming less awkward around each other but she still blushed like crazy. It made him happy on some level.
"Maybe I will, maybe I won't"
"You're going to drive me crazy."
"You're loving it."
"If you could be any place in the world right now, where would you be?" Edward didn't even pause at the change in conversation.
"Would you be with me?"
"Sure."
"Brazil, you?"
"Italy."
Edward smiled as the waitress gave him the bill. "Would I be with you?"
"Yeah, and you'd be shirtless too." Bella said with a wink as she opened her fortune cookie.

They were walking down the hall to Bella's dorm as Bella finished the last of the ice cream they split.
"Whats your favorite flower?"
"Freesias."
"Really?"
"Yes. Who is your favorite writer?"
"Anyone of the classic female writers."
"I'm not surprised."
"How about you?" Edward just shrugged in response.
"Do you want to come in and sit down for a second before taking that long hike back to Booth?"
"Of course."
Bella opened the door and stepped inside. Before letting Edward in she paused, and turned with a mischievous grin on her face. "Want to help me with something?"
"Sure?" Bella grabbed the collar of his shirt and tugged him onto the side of the divide that belonged to Victoria. It smelled thickly of cheap perfume and cologne, with the subtle smell he associated with seedy clubs. Bella sat on her roommate's messy bed and pulled Edward's face towards her. Her hand slid up from his collar into his hair, holding him to her as they furiously kissed. She began to lean back and he leaned over her, his knee propped on the bed between her legs, and his hands on either side of her head holding him up. She scooted back allowing him to move closer as she wrapped her other arm around his waist.
Edward was pretty sure he was dead and in heaven. The smell of Bella, so wonderful, overrode the thick smell of crappy perfume on the bed. He let Bella have full control and let her nudge him on the shoulder. Taking the hint he rolled so that she was on top, straddling his hips. Edward's hands flew to Bella's hips to make sure she stayed close to him. They were practically glued together and they hadn't come up for air since they entered the room. Bella's tongue (or was it his own? He wasn't sure anymore) opened his lips and Edward all but moaned at the feeling. He could feel her shirt riding up and he wasn't sure what to do. All he knew was that he could stay this way forever.
A loud bang out in the hall followed by cussing made Bella jump up from the bed, she tugged Edward to her own side of the room around the concrete divide. He plopped down onto her bed and she sat right next to him, both of them grinning like idiots.
Victoria slammed open the door and all Edward could see was her hair as she stormed into her side of the room.
"Thanks Edward" Bella said, leaning up to place a chaste kiss on his lips. "That means a lot to me."
"Anytime Bella, anytime." Edward said with a cocky smirk.

"You made out on Victoria's bed, with Bella, so Bella could have something to secretly gloat about behind her roommate's back?"
Edward nodded as he gingerly nibbled on his chicken sandwich. Emmett leaned back in his seat.
"Damn, now I want to make out with Rose on her roommate's side of the room. That sounds hot."
"You're such a freak Em."
"Says you. So how is this bachelor thing going to go down?"
"You set it up, just tell me how much it's going to cost, and whether or not I'm going to have to lie about the events to my mother."
"That depends, does your mom like sexy sexy strippers?"
"I've never asked."
"What an inconsiderate son. No wonder you're still a virgin." Edward rolled his eyes. Since Emmett's discovery, he'd been linking every flaw in Edward's character with the fact that he's still a virgin, just to piss him off. Like if he lost his virginity all would be well in the world of Edward.
Well… he might have a point there…
Edward began to fiercely ignore the voice in his head.
"Either way, don't make it 50 strippers or something, Carlisle wouldn't like that."
"Why do I get the feeling that the only stripper Carlisle wants to see is Esme?"
Edward winced at the imagery "Will people stop doing that? With the gross and the putting it in my head?"
"You just made a funny face!"
"When is his face not funny?" Jasper said as he slid into the chair next to Emmett.
"Probably when he was being kinky with Bella last night on Victoria's bed."
"I disagree, it was probably worse then." Jasper said with a grin as he stole an apple off of Emmett's tray and bit into it with a loud crunch.
"You guys are horrible. Are you coming to the wedding then?"
"What wedding?" Jasper said, mouth full of apple.
"Carlisle's"
"Course!" Jasper swallowed. "Are the girls going?"
"Bella is, and I'm sure the others will follow."
"Nice! So what's this about being kinky?"
"I think the growth of his balls is official. He made out with Bella as hot as virgins can get on Victoria's bed."
"I'm happy about your balls deciding to exist."
"I hate you both."
