I just wanted to throw in that I don't own these characters. Stephenie Meyer is much more talented than I am. So. In saying that, you guys can also give me ideas for the story. Because to be honest I have a whole lifetime of ideas swimming around in my head. I probably wont be able to post again until next Friday. We'll see...maybe sooner. Thanks for the review.

Chapter 2- Comfortable.

Alice's shy eye's met my irritated ones, as she motioned for me to lower my window. She sighed, she knew I was going to be upset with whatever she had to say.

"I'll meet you at your place in a few hours." She quickly threw at me. I stopped her from walking away. I knew what she was going to go do, but I had to try anyway.

"Alice, are you sure?" I asked as she began to back up. She looked at me confidently, and nodded. Something was different about the way she was approaching this with me.

"See you later then." I said, giving her my permission to let her go see Jasper. Edward still staring at me, still in the same position that he had been when we had been interrupted. He looked mad about something, his eyebrows knitted together in confusion. He opened his mouth once to say something, but then closed it. I knew what he was going to say.

"Don't, I know im being a horrible friend by telling her its ok that she does these things, but I feel like I have to support her. I'll be there to pick up the pieces." I said his piece for him. He nodded his understanding, and finally looked away from me. It only took us about 20 minutes to reach my house, we were silent the whole way. Edward let out a low whistle as we pulled around to the garage. Parking my baby next to my other prized possession, I quickly got out.

"You weren't joking when you said you plenty of space. Which wing is mine?" He joked. I smiled at him. While my father owned this house, I thought of it as my house. He was never home enough to call it home. I went to his side, hoping that he wasn't still mad at my bad judgement.

"My wing, is definitely your wing." I answered. He smiled at me, I was forgiven. He followed me around as I gave him the grand tour, asking questions here and there as we passed different things. Finally we reached the kitchen, and out the patio door was my little slice of paradise. I loved nothing more than to relax in that pool all summer long. The attached Jacuzzi, with the waterfall falling into the end of the pool right next to your head. He shook his head, obviously looking forward to relaxing to.

"Go get your suit on, I'll be waiting outside for you." I said, ushering him into the pool house. He emerging minutes later, looking shy as he slowly approached me. He was blushing.

"Embarrassed?" I asked him, laughing. I was in my very little navy blue string bikini, the one I always wore when I wanted to make a statement. His hands reach for my waist, and I stepped closer to him. His eyes took in my every curve, right down to my feet. I was the one blushing now.

"Get in." I commanded, adding "Its not cold. I promise."

"Are you?" His voice was almost pleading with me. I nodded my intention of joining him and stepped down the concrete stairs and pushed myself into the middle of the water. I could still reach here, the water barely reaching my ribs. He was only in to his waist, the sun was hitting the water and reflecting off of him making him look like he was sparkling. He came to me, wrapping himself around me, his hands were everywhere at once. My breathe caught in my throat as his lips met mine, this time not being interrupted. He was magic, his lips moving with mine. I granted him access to my mouth, slightly parting my lips, and he dove in. I let out a groan, his lips moving to my neck. My fantasy early that morning was coming true. He pulled away, effectively leaving my body yearning for more.

"There, I had to finish what we started." He said in a winded whisper. His hands remained on my neck though he moved to lift me. My legs wrapped around his waist and he dipped us into the water. I immediately relaxed into him, I clung to him like I was going to drown in the shallow water. My skin chilled, but heated up again as his lips found my collar bone and worked their way around to my neck.

"Lets get out. You're cold." He stated. I nodded my agreement, I wasn't sure if I could form a coherent sentence. After toweling off, and offering my shower to him, much to embarrassment of my little day dream earlier, I changed and settled on my bed, waiting for him to rejoin me. He came out a few minutes later, still shirtless I might add, and sat on next to me.

"So how about that pizza?" He pressed, back away so he was propped up against my headboard. The dark mahogany of the wood contrasted with his skin beautifully.

"Ok. Let me order." I said picking up my phone, and dialing the familiar number. Halfway through the call, Alice entered my bedroom. Jasper tentatively following her to the plush couch in the corner. She had a look of satisfaction on her face. I finished the order, adding another pizza with our new arrivals and hung the phone on the base. I glanced at Edward, noticing his appraisal of Alice, and then his eyes met mine.

"Hey, can we watch with you?" She asked, I motioned for her to join me as I climbed off the oversized bed. She followed, dashing down the stairs to keep up with me. When I reached the kitchen, where I was sure the boys couldn't hear me, I let her have it.

"Alice, I know I am supposed to be your best friend, but I cant keep letting you do this to yourself. Jasper is just using you, and I cant watch it anymore." I whispered the last half. She had tears in her wide dark eyes. But she had a smile on her face too.

"Its ok, I told how I felt, That I couldn't do it anymore. And he said he didn't want to lose me. That this past year was just him being afraid of commitment. Are you sure you want us to stay?" She finished. I hugged her. Nodded, and slapped her arms. She recoiled from me.

"Ow, what was that for? Im sorry I didn't tell you." She answered her own question. We stayed downstairs long enough to meet the pizza guy, and headed back to our guys. I wasn't even sure if I could call Edward that though. But to be honest with myself, what did I want Edward to be. Did I want a relationship? Or did I want a friend, who definitely had benefits? I wasn't sure yet. But something told me that I needed to make a decision soon. I would definitely wait to ask that question though. When we reached my doorway we found Jasper and Edward having a silent match. I raised my eyebrow at him as I snuggled up to him with my slice of pizza.

"I'll tell you later." He whispered. His lips grazing my ear.

When I awoke, it was still very dark outside. Glancing at my clock, it told me it was only 1 am. I went to roll over, searching for a more comfortable position. When I heard the noise that must have woke me up. Another loud bang coming from downstairs. But this time I successfully rolled over, my forehead meeting Edwards nose, causing him to wake up to.

"Aw Bella, that hurt." He groaned. His hands were cupping his nose. This was to much for my sleepy head to handle at 1 in the morning. Edward in my bed, snuggled to me and I had no idea. The noise sounded again, and Edward straightened up. He was alert now. He motioned for me to follow him, and grabbed my baseball bat that rested in the corner of room just for this kind of situation. We crept down the stairs, and silently padded to the kitchen. Light was spilling out onto the living room floor as we made our way into the doorway. I was hidden safely behind Edward, who had the bat raised, poised for striking.

"Who the hell are you?" A very familiar voice sounded, I didn't have to see the face of who it belonged to. I knew who was in my kitchen now. My body flew past Edward, I didn't miss the very surprised look on his face. I was in Emmett's arms in a split second.

"What are you doing here?" I screamed as he collected me into a hug. I kissed his cheek. Edward was still standing in the doorway, confusion covering his face as he took the scene in. He was staring at me, my legs wrapped around Emmett, my arms hugging to his bulky chest. He must have thought that Emmett was a boyfriend. Gross. He let me down, and I went to Edward.

"Edward this is my brother Emmett." I finally said, laughing as his face relaxed into a grin.

"Emmett, this is Edward. My..." My sentence trailed off. I didn't know what I should call Edward. Edwards eyes met mine as my voice died, he didn't know either. Emmett was staring at us in silence. He was going to go into big brother mode, I could see it entering his face. I spoke before he could.

"Emmett, you scared the hell out of us." I chastised him like a four year old. He held his hands out in apology.

"Dad called, wanted me to come home for a few weeks. He said he was flying in this afternoon. So I packed up, and left. Rose wasn't very happy, but she'll be here tomorrow. Or this afternoon too. I cant wait until you see little Lilly. She is getting so big." He answered. It had been about a year since I had last seen him, and Rose. My niece Lilly, had been only days old when I flew out there to meet her. Confusion was still evident on Edwards face.

"Ok..Well. I guess you know where your room is. I'll see you in the morning." I said, motioning towards Edward. He followed.

"Look Edward..." I started when we reached my bed. I climbed in, expecting him to follow. He didn't. I was suddenly very nervous. The joy of seeing my brother, and news that my father would be coming home today quickly drained from me. I saw the look on his face.

"Listen. I didn't know what to say down there. Are you my girlfriend or not. I couldn't decide. And im going to say you're not." He must have noticed the look on my face, because when he said those words my heart broke.

"Only because there is obviously so much more I need to learn about you. Bella, I want to get to know you. I want to know who your family is, what your pet peeves are. Your favorite color. I want to know you. This afternoon, I let things get carried away. I don't want our relationship to be based on the sex. I want to know you. The moment I met you. When I tried out for the squad, I was so nervous, but doing it with you made me feel relaxed. Its like we are meant to be together. You drew me in, and I had no choice." He finished with a sigh. I had tears streaming down my face. He eyes took in my face, studying my reaction. I was elated. I wondered if he could tell through these tears. I patted the bed, and he came to sit by me.

"Oh Edward. I feel the same way. I told myself I wasn't going to get involved this year. And I couldn't help it. I need to know you." Is all I answered him with. His lips were on mine then, urgent, like he didn't know when he'd get to kiss me again.
