Here's chapter three. Several people have asked why Edward was dancing with Jessica Stanley. Well, to answer simply I needed him to be dancing with someone and she was the first person to pop into my head. Don't shoot me. Oh and thank you all the wonderful people who have reviewed, added me to their favourite author/story lists or the author/story alerts. I didn't realised how much people enjoyed it but I'm glad you do. Oh and before anyone asks wink wink Jacob won't be in this story at all. This is a Edward and Bella story through and through. ENJOY :)

"I can't believe your here," Edward said as he hugged Bella.

"Aren't you going to introduce us," someone interrupted and Edward pulled back to see Rosalie standing next to Emmett, a small smile playing on her lips.

"Bella this is Rosalie. Rosalie this is Bella," Edward introduced. Bella stuck out her hand but Rosalie slapped it away and threw her arms around the small girl.

"Thank you for coming," Rosalie whispered in Bella's ear before pulling out of the hug. Bella blushed looked down at the floor. Rosalie turned to Edward. "Why were you dancing with Jessica?"

"She asked me," Edward shrugged, his eyes never leaving Bella. He wouldn't admit it to anyone, but she surpassed all his expectations. He hadn't expected anyone near as beautiful as Bella and he cursed himself for not asking for a photo while chatting to her online. Emmett groaning pulled Edward from his thoughts.

"Mike Newton is heading this way," Emmett mumbled loud enough for Rosalie, Edward and Bella to hear. Edward's head shot up and noticed Mike's eyes zeroing in on Bella. Jealousy washed over Edward and he gripped Bella's small hand in his manly one.

"Would you like to dance?" Edward asked. Bella lifted her head, her brown eyes meeting his sparkling green ones.

"OK," she replied. A slow romantic song began to play. Edward watched over Bella's shoulder as Mike Newton threw him a dirty look before turning to Emmett and Rosalie to congratulate.

"So he is the guy you warned me about?" Bella questioned following Edward's gaze. Edward sighed and nodded. "Looks innocent enough."

Edward laughed and Bella blushed again.

"You won't be saying that when he asks you to dance and doesn't leave you alone all night," Edward replied with a mischievous twinkle in his green eyes. Bella gasped in mock horror.

"You wouldn't," she said and then giggled, her angry composure shattered.

"Mind if I cut in," Carlisle asked. Edward grinned as his father then offered him Bella's hand. Bella's cheeks were permanently red with all attention she was getting. She felt guilty, as it was Emmett and Rosalie's day for attention, not hers.

"It's finally nice to meet you Bella," Carlisle said. "I've heard nothing but you for several weeks and I was wondering if Edward had made you up."

"It's nice to meet you too," Bella said and grinned at him. "Edward talks so highly of you."

It was Carlisle's turn turn to smile and Bella easily recognised the smile. Edward had already given her several in the half an hour she had been there.

"You welcome here anytime Bella. You seem to make Edward very happy," Carlisle continued a knowing glint in his eyes. Bella caught on quickly.

"Oh Carlisle, you have the wrong idea. Edward and I are just friends," Bella said with a laugh in her voice. Carlisle gave her a knowing look. The song came to an end and he kissed her hand before leaving the dance floor.

"My turn," Emmett called out and slid into Carlisle's place. The song was a little faster then the previous and Emmett had Bella spinning around the dance floor. Bella's laugh was heard over the music and Edward couldn't help but smile at his best friend and brother dancing. Life was perfect for Edward.

"Emmett and Rosalie are off to Europe, so we thought you might like to stay in their old room," Edward said as he carried Bella's bag up the staircase. Bella gave him a tired smile and held onto the banister as she followed him. "I apologise if you find anything disturbing in their room."

Bella laughed and followed him into Emmett and Rosalie's bedroom. It was gorgeous. It was painted dark red, almost maroon colour and the roof and kick boards were a midnight black. Dark red curtains hung in front of the floor to ceiling window.

"Wow," Bella said as she took it all in. The king sized bed was covered in a black duvet and underneath were maroon sheets.

"Rosalie has excellent taste," Alice said, standing in the doorway. Bella hadn't expected to get along so well with Edward's family but she already felt like Alice was her sister. After her dance with Emmett had finished, Alice had dragged Bella off the dance floor and to her table, where Alice began to interrogate the brunette about the shopping centre's in Phoenix and Florida. Bella, knowing nothing nor caring about fashion, was completely useless to Alice. The conversation quickly changed to Jessica Stanley and Mike Newton. Bella had the unfortunate ability of attracting Mike and he had cornered her at the drinks table. She had politely rejected him, but he had been persistent. It wasn't until Emmett, Edward and Jasper had converged on him that he finally got the message and left Bella alone. She spent the rest of the afternoon dancing with Edward and joking with the rest of the Cullen's. She now could understand why Charlie liked them so much.

"Tomorrow, I'm taking you shopping," Alice sung as she walked down the hallway to the room she shared with Jasper. Bella groaned and sunk into the comfortable mattress.

"I'm really glade I came Edward," Bella mumbled as her eyes slid shut. Before Edward could respond Bella was sound asleep. Edward smiled at the sleeping girl before turning off the light and closing the door.

Several hours later, Bella woke suddenly. She took in her surroundings and it took several moments before she remembered that she was at the Cullen's. She glanced at the digital clock on the bedside cupboard. It read 3:32am. Looking down at her clothing, she realised why she had woken. Still wearing her dress, she climbed out of bed and grabbed her bag. She threw on her pyjamas before climbing back into bed. She tossed and turned for 15 minutes before giving up. She wouldn't be going back to sleep anytime soon. She cursed herself for not bringing any new books with her. She had planned to go to a bookstore while she was there.

An idea popped into her head and she toyed with the idea for several moments before sliding out of bed and walked over to the door. She opened it slightly and found the house blanketed in darkness. She crept up the stairs to the third floor and went to the end of the hall. She knocked softly on Edward's door before opening it. She stepped into the room, closing the door. Her eyes came to rest on Edward's sleeping form. The curtains were still open, casting moonlight across his bed. His chest was bare and the sheets and been kicked down enough to cover his legs. Bella clamped her hand over her mouth to stifle the giggle that rose up her throat at the sight of his dark green boxers. Edward stirred and rolled over. He opened his eyes slowly and they came to rest on her, leaning against his bedroom door. He smiled sleepily at her and patted the bed next to him. She walked slowly over to his bed and laid down next to him.

"Sorry for waking you," she whispered.

"It's OK," he whispered back, now fully awake. "Why are you up so early?"

"I didn't change into my pyjamas before going to bed and my dress woke me up," she said. It sounded pathetic but Edward understood. She shivered involuntarily and Edward reached to the end of his bed and pulled the dark gold duvet up to cover her.

"Thank you."

Edward smiled and Bella snuggled closer to his warm body.

"I like your room," she said after a few moments of silence that she used to survey his bedroom. The roof and kick boards, like in Emmett and Rosalie's room, were black, but the walls were a dark gold. One wall was completely covered in Cd's and Bella wanted nothing more then to pull them out, study them and listen without a care in the world.

"Will I get to see yours?" he teased and she laughed quietly.

"Once I've moved in with Charlie you can see my bedroom anytime," Bella teased back. She rolled over onto her right side and gave Edward a serious look. "Don't your parents mind Jasper and Alice having a room together."

Edward shook his head.

"They figure that if Alice and Jasper are going to do anything, it's better that they do it under their roof instead of in the back of a car or in a park. Emmett and Rosalie had the same rules," Edward explained.

"My parents would shoot me if I had a boy in my room," Bella replied. "Not that they have to worry about that sort of thing."

Edward frowned.

"You do that all the time," Edward commented.

"What?"

"Your always putting yourself down, like you don't deserve to be happy."

"Look at me Edward. I'm plain Jane. Nothing special here."

"You don't see yourself very clearly then. I will have to show you exactly how special you are."

Bella blushed and then yawned, causing her to blush even more.

"Sleep now and tomorrow, Alice and I are taking you shopping," he said. Bella's eyes began to droop.

"Goodnight Edward," she mumbled. Edward dropped a soft kiss on her forehead and slowly drifted off to sleep. Both dreaming of each other and wondering what possibilities could come from such a friendship.
