I Caught Myself.

Edward and his mates celebrate the return of Emmett, who has just returned from L.A. for university. He brings along his new girlfriend and her closest friends. Emmett's new girlfriend, the cocky but shy Bella Swan, turns out to be the girl of Edward's dreams … but his best friend's girl. Does she feel the same way? And how will Emmett take this?

RATED M FOR THE OBVIOUS REASONS. AU/AT/AH. And I don't own Twilight or anything related to it. It's just one of those things that we can play around with.

I got the idea for this fic from the song "Crush" by David Archuleta.

A/N: So here's Chapter Two! I just want to thank everyone for reviewing the first chapter, and to all the people who put this story on their alerts and favourites. It means so much to me, because it's telling me that I must be doing something right, lolz. Also, someone who reviewed gave me an idea … thanks for that! I'll also try to write more. I hope you enjoy this chapter as much as I've enjoyed writing it!!

Edward POV

I awoke abruptly to the sound of the annoying Nokia ringtone. Then a crash. I practically jumped in my bed and rolled down to the fucking floor, the sheets wrapping around me. I cussed under my breath, and then slowly looked up to see if I woke Alice.

I didn't. She looked like an innocent little child, with her Mickey Mouse pyjamas, her arms wrapped around her legs, and her hair falling over her face. After I untangled myself from the sheets, I put it over Alice and pushed the hair away from her face. I didn't bother trying to go back to sleep, for several reasons. One, was because my back sort of hurt, and I knew I would only get angry if I couldn't fall asleep again, and two, because I didn't want to go back to that dream again, even though I thoroughly enjoyed it.

It was about Bella. Just me and Bella. I guess you could also say my sexual fantasies took the better of me. I wanted to keep dreaming on and on, but there was a spot in my head that just kept on telling me that it wasn't right. This was my best friend's girlfriend. I couldn't do that to him.

I walked out of my room, and closed the door quietly. I walked over to the couch and slumped in it, turning on the T.V. Some channel that Jacob was watching last said that it was 5:30 a.m. Great. Just fucking great.

I flicked through the channels, and wasn't surprised that nothing was on. I turned off the T.V. and just sat on the couch for a while. I quickly got up and hit myself on the head for thinking about Bella again. I don't even know her that well yet I thought, trying to make myself stop. Stop Edward, stop!!

But I couldn't, could I? There was just something about her that made me think about her so much, my head could explode. I thought that maybe a shower would make me feel better. I tiptoed back into my room and grabbed a random pair of jeans and a black v neck. I saw that my favourite shoes were outside, so I got some socks as well. I threw the shirt and socks on the couch and went into the bathroom.

The shower did make me feel better, sort of. The hot water made my aching back feel better instantly, but it also made me feel a lot of other things. Wanted things. No, Edward! I yelled at myself in my head. Unwanted things, unwanted!! There was only one way I could make myself feel better, and it wasn't exactly how I wanted to go about things.

I had to do it at least twice to make me feel better.

When I was getting dressed, I had to keep on hitting my head to stop thinking about Bella. Why won't this woman get out of my head?! What was so special about her? I blow dried my hair quickly, and it stuck out at different ends. I thought it looked alright, and the girls seemed to like it. Maybe that's what I needed, a distraction. I wonder if that Rosalie is hot … Ugh, that wasn't the solution. I'm sure banging some random chick wasn't the solution.

So I decided to be a man, and let the chips fall where they may. Also, because my head hurts now after I hit it a few times. I walked out trying to fold my pyjamas.

"I was wondering who else was awake."

"HOLY SH-"

But I couldn't say anymore. A hand was covering my mouth, and the person was giggling. I recognised that giggle, and I felt both happy and annoyed at the same time.

Bella was drowning me with those chocolate brown eyes of hers, biting her lip and a giggle escaping her mouth. I began to laugh as well, and she let go of my face. I sighed, and threw my pyjamas onto the couch, and went to pick up my shirt.

Bella gasped at my half nakedness, and I smirked. Thanks to Emmett, I thought, but then I also remembered that this was his girlfriend. Keep in control, E.

I quickly put on my shirt, and she cleared her throat. I sat on the top of the couch, pulling on my socks. "Why are you up so early?"

"Oh my phone went off …"

"That was your phone? You need to change your ringtone."

She giggled, and that made me drawn to her even more. She sighed. "Yeah I know, but I never have time. I'll do it now."

She pulled out her Blackberry and pressed a few buttons. "There, done."

"Good." I chuckled. "Oh, and what was that crash?"

"Oh I sort of … knocked Em's clock over or something. I woke up and hit my head on the bed head."

"Ouch. You alright now?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. But I'm convinced that I have a bump here on my head somewhere …" She started to rub the top of her head. As she did, I took in her appearance. She was wearing a white singlet top and the shortest fucking shorts I've ever seen. I buried my face in my hands. Stop, stop, stop!!

She was also carrying what looked like to be a white shirt with writing on it and some jeans. She had put down some heels with laces next to the bathroom door, and I began to wonder how women could possibly stand wearing them.

"There!" she exclaimed loudly.

"Ssssshhhh!" I said, putting a finger to my mouth. She laughed, bending her knees a little, and I bent down forward, laughing with her. Our laughter was like music; the sweetest music I've ever heard.

She tiptoed over to me finding her bump again. "Here," she said, leaning forward. "Is there a bump there?"

I rubbed her head, and I felt this weird feeling; like an electric current flowing through us. I shivered, and I knew that she could feel it too, because she did as well.

"Yeah, there's a really small bump there," I said, playfully pushing her head forward.

"I knew it!" she said, giggling. I could feel her looking at me when I put my shoes on. "I like your shoes."

"Really? Thanks, they're my favourite." I smiled up at her, and she returned it. "So, who text you so early in the morning that made me wake up?"

"Oh, sorry about that. It was Rose telling me that she'll be here by noon."

"Cool. I'd guess you'd need a car, right?"

"I thought that I might just get a taxi."

I gaped at her. "Don't be fucking silly. I have a car, use it."

"Really? Emmett told me who gave it to you …"

"Nah its fine, just be careful though. I trust you more than, say Jacob, and I only met you yesterday."

I saw her blush, and I licked my lips at the beautiful colour that spread across her face.

"Why's that?"

"Jacob makes a mess of things, even if it wasn't on purpose."

She laughed, and I smiled at her. And then I was lost in her eyes. I could've sat there forever and ever, just staring into her eyes and I would never get bored of it. Bella quickly looked away, and I cleared my throat.

"Uh … are you done with the bathroom?"

"Oh, right yeah."

She smiled and walked into the bathroom, and all I could do was stare. She was like an Angel, floating on water. She shut the door, and I remembered that I needed to clean my car. Fuck.

Alice POV

I woke up, spreading my legs and arms and yawning loudly. Then I remembered that I didn't sleep alone last night, and quickly looked to my right. I sighed with relief that I hadn't hit him. I got up, and slowly walked to the door, pushing my hair out of my eyes.

As I closed the bedroom door, Bella came out of the bathroom. She was wearing a baggy top, which said "Old Paris" in French, dark denim jeans and a pair of heels were next to the door. I suspected they were hers because I didn't own a pair of them, and she seemed to be the only one awake.

"Oh, good morning Alice," she said brightly. I haven't yet talked to Bella before; I was dancing all night with Emmett.

I smiled at her. "Morning to you too, Bella."

She smiled back, walking past me to Emmett's room, holding what seemed to be her pyjamas. I went to the kitchen to see what was in the fridge. There were some bacon and eggs, and I thought that that would be a good idea.

I heard Bella coming towards me (she had put her heels on) and I turned around. "Planning on cooking this morning?"

"Oh, possibly," I replied. "I normally do so anyway."

"I thought that maybe we could go out and get some," she said thoughtfully. "Rose texted me this morning and told me her plane lands at noon."

"I don't think that's possible. We only have Edward's car, Jacob's bike and Emmett's jeep. I don't think we'd want to take so many cars."

"Maybe lunch then?"

I smiled at her. "Sounds perfect. Would be even more perfect if the others woke up." She laughed and I joined in. She seemed like a nice girl, and was happy for Emmett.

"Speaking of the others, do you know where Edward is?" I asked her.

"No I don't actually," she said, getting embarrassed for some reason. "I bumped into him before I got into the shower, but I don't know where he is now."

"Hmm, okay," I replied. "Well, never mind, sit down and watch T.V. or something, I'm going to have a shower so I can make breakfast."

"Oh, are you sure you don't want me to do it?"

"Yeah, yeah it's fine. Don't worry; you're a guest here, Bella." I smiled at her and she smiled back. I could see us becoming really good friends.

*

When I got out of the shower, a few others were awake. Emmett was sitting on the couch with Bella under his arm, whilst Jacob and Keira were just emerging from their rooms. Jake was wearing comic book pyjamas, and Keira was wearing a small excuse for pyjamas. I could've worn that through the mall as a top and no one would suspect they were otherwise.

When Jacob saw me walking towards Edward's room to put my pyjamas away, he wolf-whistled. I could feel my face getting hotter by the second. I hated being the centre of attention. And I wasn't wearing anything special either; just a floral singlet with acid wash jeans and black heels with three straps over them.

When I came back out, Jacob was standing where he was before, and Keira was on the couch with her arms crossed, killing us with her stare.

Jake put his arm around my shoulders and whispered into my ear. "You actually look hot today, little Miss Alice." With that, he dropped his arm and grabbed my ass.

I would normally get really pissed at him for doing that, but I didn't, because I surprisingly liked it. I just blushed even more and pushed him away playfully. "Stop lying Jakey."

"I'm not," he said with a wink. I winked back, and walked over to the kitchen. Keira had a sour look on her face.

I heard a door open and close and a few people saying "morning Edward" so I turned around.

"Edward!" I said happily.

"Morning, Alice honey," he said, coming over and kissing my head. He smelt of leather and car polish.

"What were you doing Edward, you smell bad," I said, backing away.

"I was cleaning my car seat, because Jacob 'Dickhead' Black decided he would mess it up."

I heard Jacob chuckle and then the bathroom door close. Another door opened and everyone turned to see who it was.

Jasper came out, wearing nothing but a pair of colourful pyjamas, which had arrows all over it. He didn't seem to mind having all eyes on him. "Morning guys," he said, plopping on a free chair. Everyone replied with a mumble, and I got back to my cooking.

Every few minutes or so, I would take a glance at Jasper. He looked so damn gorgeous, and he had the best body. And let me tell you, I knew a good bod when I saw one, I mean I do live with three other gorgeous men. And then I found myself in a tangle between Jacob and Jasper. I sighed to myself. So many men, so little time.

Keira POV

I couldn't believe it. Wasn't I pretty enough? What was it that Alice had that I didn't? I was about to find out.

When Jacob emerged from the bathroom, I jumped up quickly, eager to speak with him.

Emmett got up at the same time. "Oh," he said, realising I got up too. "Do you want to go first, Keira? I can wait."

"Yeah," said Bella, looking up at me. "We need to go pick up Rose."

"Uh, no it's okay … you go first Emmett … talk … Jacob." Yeah, that's pretty much what just came out of my mouth.

Everyone stared at me befuddled at what I just said. I walked quickly to Jacob's room, Emmett following at a slower pace. When I reached Jacob's room, he was putting his pyjamas on his bed.

"Oh, Keira babes!" he said when he realised I was there. I shut the door behind me so no one else would hear us.

"What's wrong with me, Jacob?" I asked him, waving my arms around in the air.

"What?" he exploded, oblivious as to where I was coming from.

"What is it that Alice has that I haven't got?" I asked, ignoring his question.

I could feel tears beginning to fall from my eyes, and Jacob quickly walked to me and put his hands on my shoulders.

"Look, Keira," he said seriously, looking at me straight in the eyes. "I have no idea where this is coming from, but you're acting as if we're a couple."

My eyes widened. "I am not!"

"You are, honey. Just because we shared the same bed doesn't mean we're together."

I replayed his words in my head again. He was right; I was acting as if we were a couple. I instantly felt embarrassed and hid from him behind my hair.

"Oh, Keira don't be embarrassed, its okay," he said gently, rubbing my arms slowly.

"No … no," I said, trying to push him away. "Shower … Bella … Rose." Yep, that's all that came out of my mouth, again.

I walked over to my luggage, and pulled out the first things I saw, which turned out to be a blue dress, wet-looking tights and white strappy heels. I stormed out of the room, just in time to see Emmett, sporting a western shirt and jeans saying, "Your turn Keira Beira."

I sniffled a bit, glad that the man could shower fast, and hid myself behind the bathroom walls.

Bella POV

This could've possibly been the best breakfast I've had … ever.

Alice was the best cook. She knew when to take the eggs out of the pan, and when to flip the bacon over. It was just perfect. The only bad thing out of all of it was that I was squeezed in between Emmett and Edward. We both reached out for the sauce at the same time, and I almost knocked over his glass. We kept flirting, and I was surprised Emmett never realised. He probably thought that we just got along really well. I felt bad about doing this to him, but I honestly just couldn't help myself.

Keira didn't seem too happy this morning either. I kept on looking over at her, asking her with my eyes what was wrong. She'd just go back to quickly eating her food, and disappeared quickly from the table and locked herself in the bathroom.

When breakfast was over, I insisted on helping Alice clean up.

"Bella, you're a guest here!" she said happily. "Edward always helps me anyway, so don't worry."

Edward gave me his crooked smile, and all I could do was sigh and bite my lip.

As he walked over to the sink, I decided to make an announcement. "So, does everyone want to go out for lunch today?"

"Sounds great babe!" exclaimed Emmett, hugging me and kissing me on the lips. His lips were soft as always, and I had to control myself. He began to kiss down my neck and I had to hit him to stop.

"EM!" I squealed as he tickled me. I saw Edward looking, but as soon as I looked at him, he went back to washing the dishes.

"So where do you want to go?" Alice said, bouncing from down the kitchen steps.

"I'm not so sure. I was searching before, and there's a really nice Italian place down on Pine Street, how about that?"

"Sounds good, Bells," said Jasper, plonking himself onto the couch, rubbing his stomach. "I love Italian."

"Cool! I'll call them now and book."

After I booked, Keira emerged from the bathroom, putting on a brave face. I walked over to her and put an arm around her shoulders. "What's up sis?" I whispered, so no one else would hear.

"In the car," she whispered back, and I nodded.

"Guys, were off to pick up Rose now," I said, and everyone said their goodbyes.

"Oh, Bella, wait!" Alice yelled, and I turned around. "What's this place were going to?"

"Right, forgot, sorry. It's called 'Il Fornaio‎' and the booking is at 2pm."

I almost left when I remembered that you needed keys to drive a car.

"Oh, and Edward?"

Edward's head popped up from between Alice and Emmett on the couch.

"I need your keys."

"Ah, right." He got up and walked over to us, sticking a hand in his jeans pocket. He handed me the keys, and I took them from him, our skin touching. I felt that electric current again, and we both shivered.

I looked up at him and smiled. "Thanks again."

"No worries." He winked and smiled his crooked smile. I bit my lip again out of habit, and I could see Keira watching me.

"Laters!" we both said, and everyone waved to us.

The lift ride was quiet. Keira just kept on staring at me weirdly, and I tried my best to avoid her gaze.

When we were in Edward's car and on the main road, I beat Keira to the chase. "What's up, little sis?"

She looked disappointed that I beat her, but she told me anyway. "I've made a fool of myself."

"How?"

"Long story."

"It's a long trip to the airport," I said with a smirk.

She looked over at me and sighed. "Fine. I got worked up at Jacob because he was flirting with Alice. Ugh, I just made myself look like a fool!"

"But how?! This isn't like you."

"I know … When Emmett went to have his shower, I went to talk to Jacob. I asked him what was wrong with me and what Alice had that I didn't."

"Oh wow Keira; I know what you mean now."

She shot me an evil glare. "Uhh, continue." I said quickly.

She sighed and went on. "He then went up to me and said that I was acting like we were a couple. I denied it at first but after a while I actually swallowed what he was saying and he was right; I was acting like we were a couple."

Since we were at a traffic light, I put my hand on her shoulder and began to rub it soothingly until the lights turned green. Edward's car was fast, if I don't say so myself.

"At first I felt like a complete idiot," she continued. "Then after the shower and eating breakfast … I realised why. It's because I'm not use to people reacting to me like this."

"Like what, dear?"

"Like … not being with me instantly. I don't know how to explain it." She exhaled, and I waited.

"Jacob seemed really into me last night. And I really, really like him Bella. No joke. And I guess I'm sort of surprised that he isn't interested."

"Don't be silly Keira," I said, exhaling. "I'm sure he was … and still is. But he's known Alice for ages, and he's probably liked her for ages as well. Maybe he's suddenly had some sort of epiphany to start flirting with her or something, or maybe they've been doing it for a long time. I don't know. I think you should talk to him."

I could tell from my peripheral vision that her jaw just dropped to the floor. "Talk to him!" she screeched. "And make a fool out of myself more? No way."

"Keira," I said seriously. "If you don't talk to him he won't understand what you meant. Just tell him that you thought that he was in to you and that seeing him flirting with someone else gave you mixed signals. Then he'll understand and explain the situation to you."

She took in my words and nodded. "You're right. I need to suck it up and talk to him."

"That's my little sis," I replied, winking at her.

When had just got on the 509, it was my turn to be interrogated.

"So … what's this with you and Edward?"

"W-w-what?" I stammered. Shit, was it that obvious?

"You know what I mean Isabella. You have the hots for him!"

"I do not!" I blurted out before thinking.

"Oh yes you do, and I so don't blame you. He is smoking!" She giggled like a school girl.

I shot her a pointed glare. "I so do not, and I have a boyfriend remember? Emmett! Which so happened to be Edward's best friend!"

"Blah blah blah. Bella, I'm your sister. You can tell meee."

I ran my tongue over my teeth, refusing to say another word.

"Fine, I'm just going to ask you questions, and you just have to nod or shake your head. Okay, do you think he's hot?"

Oh, what the hell. She was my sister after all. I nodded slowly, and Keira roared with laughter.

"I so knew it!! Okay, now tell me what's going on with you two."

"That's not a yes or no question," I said, still trying to avoid these questions.

"Ugh who cares? You're talking now … so tell me, please!"

I sighed. "Fine!" Keira giggled, and I pointed at her, keeping my eyes on the road. "But, no laughing."

I could see her cross her heart in my peripheral vision.

I cleared my throat. "Well, last night after you dogged me in the middle of the dance floor for Jacob, I went to go and get a drink. Edward was there, and he was talking to Alice. I couldn't stop looking at him because he was so fucking gorgeous, but I kept on controlling myself because of Emmett. He came up to me and started talking, and then we were flirting. He asked for my name, and I told him. It was obvious that Emmett hadn't told him our names yet because he didn't seem to care. Then Emmett came along and introduced us. Oh Keira, I felt so ashamed! How could I do that to Emmett?"

I think I said that all in a rush because Keira took a while to answer me. "I think it's perfectly natural."

"Wha … how can you think that it's natural?! It's practically cheating!"

"Oh don't be silly Bells. Just because you think a guy's hot doesn't mean you're cheating on Emmett."

"But we flirt all the time. I just feel so guilty about it."

"Bella, Bella, Bella. What am I going to do with you?"

"What do you mean?"

"Just listen, okay? Don't worry about it." I opened my mouth to say something, but she put a hand up, and I closed it. "Just let it pass. You'll get over it, maybe. I don't know. Just let whatever might happen, happen. Alright?"

I inhaled and exhaled slowly, taking in her words. "Okay," I replied, as I turned into the airport parking.

She grinned, obviously happy that she'd given me advice, because it was always me giving her the advice.

We walked into the airport and searched the schedule. It said that Rose's plane had already landed, and that they should be at gate S10. When we got to the gate, people were already emerging. About 15 minutes later, we saw a familiar blonde head bobbing down towards us, with a trolley holding two large suitcases in tow.

"Bella! Keira!" Rosalie squealed, capturing us in a bear hug. When she let us go, I clicked my tongue.

"Honestly, Rose, even on a plane you look like you're about to walk down a runway."

She was wearing a low neck blue top that was sort of baggy like mine, but was tight at the sides. She also wore grey short jeans, red flats and had a black bag with white straps on her arm.

She giggled. "You don't look too bad yourself, Bella."

Keira cleared her throat. "Oh, and you too Keira Beira." Rosalie said, squeezing one of Keira's cheeks.

"Come on, let's get out of here. It's already one and we have to meet the others at two."

On the way back to the car, Rosalie went on and on about her trip and her fashion shows. Her stories were always quite interesting, but today I wasn't really listening. I was thinking about what Keira said earlier about it not being that bad that I flirt with Edward. I wasn't too sure about it, but I would take her advice; I was going to let whatever might happen, happen. I felt quite glad that I came to that conclusion, and by the time we got into the car and was back on the freeway, I was my chatty self again.

"So tell me about everyone. I'm so nervous! Out of all of them, I've only met you two," Rosalie said after her story.

"That's because you're always modelling Rose," Keira noted. We all laughed in unison, which reminded me of high school.

"Well, there's Emmett …"

"Oh, that's your boyfriend, right Bella?"

"Yup. Now there's also Jasper … you've met him once or twice. He's like my best friend from uni."

"Oh yeah, hmmm, he was kinda cute."

I laughed. "Now with Emmett's friends … there's Edward, who is Emmett's best friend, Alice who is Edward's best friend and Jacob, who is just everyone's friend. Oh, and Keira has the hots for him."

Rosalie laughed, and Keira opened her mouth. I knew she was going to say something about Edward, so I was about to say something else, but Rosalie cut me to the chase.

"So where are we going? The apartment?"

"Nah, I booked us at an Italian restaurant for lunch."

"Mmmm, I love Italian." Rose made a slurping noise, and we all laughed.

Jacob POV

At around one-thirty, we all clambered into Emmett's jeep. Emmett and Edward up front, me, Alice and Jasper up the back. I took the opportunity of sitting next to Alice and put my arm around her. She rested her head on my shoulder, and I took it that she liked my attention. I smiled at myself.

Edward set up his navigator and I flinched. "Woah, E, make sure you don't throw that at me again."

Edward chuckled, turning around and looking at me. "Well, if you didn't get on my nerves, I wouldn't have."

I tossed aside the matter with my hand, and he shook his head.

Emmett revved up the engine. "Oh, how I've missed you!" he roared, and we all laughed. Emmett was in love with his jeep, and when he left, he made sure Edward looked after it. He really did, because whenever I went near it he would either yell at me or hit my head. Even though Edward and I mainly fight, we're still pretty good buddies.

The trip wasn't that long, and I spent most of it tickling Alice. I swear, she is the cutest. I've liked Alice for ages now, and we always flirt. I know she enjoys it as much as I do. I could feel Jasper edging away from me, but I didn't care. I was having too much fun with Alice.

When we arrived at 'Il Fornaio', Edward's Porsche was already there. Bella, Keira, and a hot blonde girl who I suspected was Rosalie, were standing by the car. When Keira saw me, she quickly looked at Bella, and she nodded at her, sort of as an encouragement. Fuck, what was going on?

We all got out of the car at the same time and made a small squashed up circle around the Porsche.

"Uh, maybe we should go inside first," said Bella. "We're blocking the path."

I still had my arm around Alice, and Keira looked uncomfortable. Bella noticed, and took Keira's arm and whispered something into her ear. We all crossed the road at the same time and Alice grabbed hold of my hand.

When we reached the other side of the road, Keira tugged on my arm and said, "Can we talk?"

I looked over at Alice and let go of her hand. "Save me a seat, babe."

"Will do," she said, winking. She turned and walked off with the others, so it was then just me and Keira.

"What's up?" I asked her, trying to catch her avoiding gaze.

"About this morning …" she began, but I put a finger to her lips to shut her up.

"Don't worry about it, okay?"

"No, Jacob you don't understand. I have to say this. It'll make me feel better."

I shoved my hands into my pockets. "Okay, shoot."

She took a deep breath. "This morning I was upset that you flirted with Alice because I really like you. And I thought that you liked me too, and when you did that, I got mixed signals, so I was hurt. I'm sorry if I made you feel that I was just some needy bitch, but I honestly like you, a lot." She exhaled, and looked up at me.

"Oh, fuck man. I should be sorry. It's just that …" I looked through the restaurant window, and saw Alice. She had a hand on a chair, and I knew that she was saving it for me. "I really like Alice. And I have for ages. And don't get me wrong, I like you too, but what I feel for Alice is stronger. Okay?"

"Yeah, I knew it would be something like that," she replied with a smile.

I smiled back. "Cool, so are we friends?"

"Absolutely."

I grinned like a mad man and gave her my arm. She took it, giggling, and made our way into the restaurant.

Emmett POV

I think we made the most noise in the restaurant. I was seated between Bella and her friend Rosalie, whom I have to admit, is pretty hot.

"Okay Rose, this is Emmett, Edward, Alice, Jacob and Jasper," Bella said, pointing at each of us.

She smiled at all of us and said, "Nice to meet you all!"

We all received menus and decided what we wanted to eat. It seemed everyone decided what they wanted really quickly, so I called a waiter.

"What would you all like today?" he asked politely.

"Penne pasta with prosciutto, spinach and taleggio, for me please," I said.

"Oh, make that two," said Keira.

"I'll have the roasted chat potato salad with bacon, chestnuts and wholegrain mustard dressing thanks," said Bella.

Edward sighed. "Me too." I then heard him whisper in Bella's ear "you stole my meal." She then giggled, and I was glad that they got along so well.

"A traditional meat lasagne with salad for me thanks," said Jasper.

"Oh, me as well," Rosalie said, and I saw her give him a wink.

"Why is everyone choosing the same things?" I roared, and everyone laughed, even the waiter.

"A cannelloni of ricotta and spinach with Napoli sauce and salad please," said Alice.

"And I'll have the orecchiette with olive, ricotta, pine nut and sage," Jacob said.

"Wonderful," said the waiter, and walked off.

"How come everyone chose the same things?" I asked, and a few people giggled.

"Well, there wasn't much to choose from," said Rosalie. "Most of the stuff was for dinner."

"Yeah sorry about that guys, if I knew …"

But about everyone bombarded Bella with things like "don't worry!" and "its okay this place looks wonderful!"

She laughed and nodded, "okay, okay, I get it." And we all laughed.

"So, how was your trip, Rose?" I asked her.

"Oh it was fabulous!" she said, grinning.

As she talked about walking down runways and meeting famous designers, I kept feeling an attraction towards her, and I'm not so sure why. I kept on feeling Bella's hands running up and down my arm and that made me realise that I had a girlfriend. And a gorgeous one too. How could I think about someone else like that? Especially her best friend … But I simply couldn't help myself. There was this draw I had to Rosalie that I couldn't control. I don't know what it was about her, she just seemed so attractive to me.

The food then arrived and everyone dug in. As we began eating, Rosalie continued her story through mouthfuls of lasagne. People shared some of their pasta and exclaimed how delicious the food was, and Bella blushed that beautiful colour when we praised her for the place she picked. I couldn't believe how lucky I was to have Bella, but I also felt this strong connection towards Rose. I decided to think nothing of it, and focus on Bella. She was my girlfriend after all, and I wouldn't do anything to hurt her feelings.

Rosalie POV

We left the restaurant at about four-thirty. We were all positively stuffed, and we laughed like maniacs as we crossed the road. This time, I got into Emmett's jeep with Bella and Jasper. Edward took his car, and Alice, Jacob and Keira followed.

I couldn't believe how friendly we all were to each other, and I had only met them all today and everyone else met each other yesterday. But I already made my judgement on everyone.

Edward seemed like a nice guy, and was pretty hot. He also seemed like one of those players I see at fashion shows sometimes. He kept on going from Bella to Alice, flirting as he went along. I'm not so sure why Bella let him do it, seeing as she's with Emmett, and Bella even said that he and Alice were good friends. I'm confused already.

Emmett also seems like a nice guy. And he's gorgeous. I couldn't believe how lucky Bella is. Whenever he talked to me or I talked to him, I always felt this sort of attraction, but I pushed that away because 1. he was Bella's boyfriend and 2. he so doesn't seem my type.

As for Jasper, he was quite the cutie. I couldn't find any flaws in him, because he was just so damn nice. I flirted with him a couple of times during lunch, and when I found out I would be sharing a bed with him, I flirted even more, winking at him a lot. He seemed to like it, and was instantly glad Bella went to uni and met him. Thank the heavens for giving us this Angel!

Jacob was also quite the hottie, but when I found out he liked sports, I quickly changed the subject. Boys who like sports are yuck. They always sit around and watch sport and do nothing else and only care about sport. I don't know what Alice sees in him though, because she was practically all over him the whole time. Maybe it's because they've known each other for a long time, and she knows him really well. I don't know. I wouldn't mingle with someone who liked sport though. Ew.

When we got to the apartment, Jasper the cutie helped me pull up my luggage and put it in our room.

"Thanks hun," I said winking and kissing him on the cheek.

"No worries," he replied, winding and arm around my waist.

We went to go sit down in the living room with the others. Alice had got us some wine and we drank the whole bottle in a few hours. We just sat around and talked about the most random things. I can't even remember what we did in fact talk about; I think I drank too much wine.

After, we all watched 'Godzilla'. Some of the boys kept on commenting on how mad the effects were, and we girls kept on screaming, with the guys laughing at us.

After we finished the movie, we couldn't believe that it was already 10pm. We all said our goodnights and went into our rooms. When we were both in bed, I cuddled up to Jasper, and he returned it. I could already tell that this was going to be a good stay.

So that was chapter two! I hope you enjoyed it!

I'm thinking of doing a sort of truth or dare, so we can get to know each character better. So what do you want to know about each character? Just P.M me and I'll fit it in somewhere.

Also, like I asked last chapter, what do you want to happen next? I want it to be something you guys are interested in reading …

I think it's funny how Rosalie makes assumptions of everyone, when they're the total opposite. *sighs* God love her.

Oh and don't forget to check out the goodies on my profile. If you're not so sure about what everyone was wearing this chapter, it's there and the restaurant is there too. I try to make every place they visit real. And Emmett's Jeep is there too.

Please review, because reviews are like catching Edward topless walking out of the bathroom ;)
