Before you read chapter six, I need to apologize for something. I was re-reading my story a couple days ago (trying to find out why you guys liked this story so much) and I realized that in chapter one I had said that Tanya was from France. I apologize once again and just to clear it up, Tanya and Bella are both from Italy.

Enjoy chapter six!!!

"Bella, wake up," I heard someone say. I muttered something and turned my head away from the voice.

"Bella, you need to wake up now!"

"Go away," I muttered into the pillow, except it ended up sounding like "Mo abay." the person sighed in frustration and hopped on the bed next to me.

"Wake up or I'll slap you. Don't think I won't either," the voice warned. Threatening to slap when not getting what they wanted? I groaned. Why won't Alice leave me alone?

"Give me five minutes and I'll get up."

"No can do, darling," she said and flipped the covers off of me. "You're late."

"Late for what? I don't have to do anything this morning."

"Oh yes you do! I need to get you ready for breakfast with Prince Edward." she whispered his name. I shot up out of bed and glared at her. The twinkle in her eyes made me sure that she knew I was mad at Edward.

"And what makes you think I want to eat breakfast with him?" I asked, my voice acid.

"Well since you love him and you're getting married-"

"I don't give a damn about Prince Edward Cullen! And I wouldn't marry him if he was the last goddamned man on this planet!" I finished my rant. My heart was pounding in my chest, and my face blazed with anger.

Alice backed down, a quick look of concern flashing in her dark eyes. Then a small smile spread across her face.

"Then can you at least go for me? Jasper will be there and I don't want to be alone. He's special Bella. He makes me feel all tingly inside, like he's the missing part of me that I've just found. Please Bella."

But I couldn't answer. Everything she had just said was exactly the way I felt about Edward. I narrowed my eyes at her while she held a look of innocence on her face. I had a feeling she knew and that's why she was saying that.

I sighed. I never could resist anything Alice said when she looked at me like that. I rubbed my face with my hand and spoke.

"Fine. But I refuse to be dressed in a ball gown for a plain breakfast, Alice." She bounced up and down with excitement and practically knocked me down when she hugged me.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!" she squealed. "Now come here, we need to get you ready." She helped me to wash myself and then proceeded to wash my hair. Then she dried it and curled it using a hot iron. After that she tied my corset tightly around my torso. She then slipped the dress over my head and I stood admiring it in the mirror.

It was a beautiful light pink color. It was tight from the waist up and tucked in under my breasts. The neckline scooped on the tops of my breasts, but luckily did not reveal too much skin. It puffed out at the waist and flowed all the way down. I was absolutely glowing.

I looked rather beautiful and I loved it.

I turned and hugged Alice tightly. "I love it! It looks so beautiful," I exclaimed. She smiled an tugged me towards the door.

"Let's go before we end up being late!" she brought me down the halls, twisting and turning past corners. It took me a moment before I realized that she knew this place extremely well for a person that just arrived two days ago.

"How do you know this place so well? It's so big and you've only been here for a few days - days that you were supposed to spend helping the queen," I said with a stern look at her.

"The queen didn't need my help," she said sweetly. "I ended up walking around and memorizing the palace more than I did actually working." We walked down a long hallway and stopped before a large wooden door with pictures carved in it.

She looked at me then and said, "You don't have to come with me. If you really do not want to see him, I understand." I took a deep breath and literally shook all the bad thoughts out of my head.

"No ignorant prince is going to stop me from making my Ali happy." She grinned at me, looped her arm into mine, and we went inside.

Inside was the longest dining table I had ever seen. On top of it was a gorgeous green cloth and on top of that were plates heaped with food. Eggs, flapjacks, bacon…on and on it went. My mouth started to water as I saw all these yummy delicacies spread out before me. My eyes moved from one end of the table to another, and immediately locked with blazing green ones.

I moved my eyes away and were met with warm brown ones. The man had short blonde hair and a wonderful smile. I'm guessing this was the infamous Jasper. His eyes slid past mine to stare at Alice. I kept looking around the room and spotted a big, curly black-haired man sitting at the table. His features were incredibly familiar and I struggled to remember. Suddenly I did.

"Emmett?!" the man looked up and grinned, flashing his dimples.

"Bella!"

"Emmett is that really you?"

"I should be asking you the same thing," he said and got up and ran towards me. I jumped up into his arms and he crushed me to him in a hug that only Emmett could pull off.

"Oh, bells I missed you so much."

"I missed you too Emmett…but I…can't breathe." He chuckled and pulled back and kissed me on my forehead.

EPOV

I missed you too Emmett. how in the world did they know each other? They had to know each other very well if she allowed that kiss. But exactly how well did they know each other?

I looked over at Jasper to see he was just as confused. He looked at me and shrugged, obviously just as clueless as me. I decided to interrupt them.

"You two know each other?"

Bella glanced at me and her eyes immediately darkened. She stared at me, her face betraying no emotion except for the hatred in her eyes.

"Emmett here is my big teddy bear," she said and turned to give Emmett a big smile. Why couldn't she look at me that way?

That's it. I was completely jealous of Emmett.

"And Bella-boo is the sister I never had," Emmett replied. I sighed. Of course they were - wait did he just say the sister he's never had?

"What?" Bella rolled her eyes at me and stared at me as if I were crazy.

"He's my big cuddly brother. What did you think? That we were lovers or something?" I stared down my plate a laughed uncomfortably.

'Well…I kind of…it looked like…"

Bella laughed and I looked up at her. "You were jealous weren't you? Alice can you believe this? The great Prince Edward is jealous." I got angry at that. She had no idea what I felt and even if she did, she had no right to throw it back in my face like that.

I stood up. "You have no right to talk to me as if you know what I'm feeling. Yes, I was jealous for a moment. And yes, I did think that you and Emmett were lovers. What I feel re my private emotions and I do not appreciate the fact that you speak of them as if they're nothing. Now if you'll excuse me," I say and walked towards the door, "I'll be on my way to eat alone in my rooms."

As I reached for the knob, a hand touched my back and I heard Bella say "Wait".

I didn't know she was so close to me so when I turned, my lips came in contact with hers. Electricity flowed into me from where her lips were connected to mine. I closed my eyes and let the wonderful feeling wash over me. The feeling of her lips moving away from me were more than I could bear.

I looked at her and her whole face was red. "I-I'm s-s-sorry. I didn't mean to-"

"I quite liked it," I said and pulled her to me for another kiss.

Oooh, cliffy. Don't kill me people, I thought it was right to end the chapter here. Everyone who asked for kiss, was that good enough for you? Did you enjoy Edward's boldness? And did I confuse you with the whole Emmett thing? Lol

Love 4-ever,,,
