Ok here is chapter 9... I hope you all like it and there are links to the dresses that each of the girls are wearing in my profile. I was overwhelmed at the number of reviews I got for the last chapter and almsot cried. I would love to see it again and so would preciousfairymom80 who is my partner in crime for this story. Without her, this story would not be here and she just LOVES the reviews and has promised to share Jacob with you if you review...

Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight or anything from it except for what I dreamt up in my pretty little head while it was being kissed by the sexiest vampire in the world, Edward. Speaking of...I have to go tend to his wet naked body in the shower so I will talk to you all later.

Enjoy, review, and thanks!

Chapter 9

EPOV

I woke up to a mess of hair in my face and smelled the floral scent of it. MMmmmmmm Essence of Bella! This would definitely be my favorite scent. I just wanted to lay here forever but a grumbling in my stomach told me that I wouldn't be able to without something to eat; sometimes it sucked to be a human again. However, for the present time, I was content with lying here, holding Bella in my arms.

Her skin no longer was such a drastic difference to mine and I kind of missed it. However, now there would be nothing to keep us apart, not eternal life or the fear of death, we could face it together and I would make sure that we did. There was going to be nothing that would stand in the way of Bella and I being together.

Bella started to stir in my arms and I leaned into her and whispered "good morning my love."

"Edward? I must still be dreaming. Don't let me wake up ok?" she mumbled and scrunched her face up to keep her eyes closed.

"No Bella, this isn't a dream, I am really here. Bella? Bella? Bella open your eyes, see me, I am here, it is real" I said, worried about her mental state for a second.

Bella rolled onto her back and slowly opened one eye to peek at me. God she was so adorable!

"You are really here?" she asked quietly.

I smiled my crooked smile and pressed my lips roughly into hers, invading her mouth with my tongue and wrapping her body in my arms. When we broke the kiss to breathe, damn human problems, she was wild eyed.

"Was that real to you?" I asked, flashing my grin again.

"Ummm, I am not really sure…can we try again?" Bella asked, flirting with me. I gladly obliged her request and kissed her again and again until my stomach growled at me again and this time she heard it.

"Oops!" I said.

"Awww baby, are you hungry? It is a new feeling isn't it?" Bella asked playfully.

"I guess I am, can I just eat you and be satisfied?" I shot back, wiggling my eyebrows at her. I could definitely get used to being a human just for the simple fact that I wouldn't have to worry about accidently eating or killing Bella.

"Well, it would satisfy me but your hunger would still be there…well, one type of hunger that is" Bella blushed at the comment and I was secretly pleased at the new open and flirtatious Bella. "How about this? You are in desperate need of a shower and some deodorant. Why don't you go shower while I head downstairs to make breakfast for us. Then you can come down when you are done?" Bella flashed her devilish grin at me.

"OH! Are you saying I stink???"

"Ummm, I plead the fifth?"

"Oh no you don't! This is the court of Edward and what I say goes! Now confess!" I said while tickling her into submission.

"Fine, fine, fine! Yes, you have a little bit of ummm odor, remember, you are human now and you sweat and man sweat just plain stinks" Bella said, pinching her nose up between her thumb and index finger.

"You are gonna pay for that!" I said as I lunged for her. But, for once, she was faster than me and was already halfway down the hallway.

As I turned the corner and headed for the stairs she threw a towel in my face and then hurried down the stairs as fast as an accident prone person could. "You, shower, now!" she giggled from the bottom of the stairs as she stuck her tongue out at me.

I held my hands up in defeat and said "fine, you win, I will shower."

Suddenly Emmett was beside me with a funny look on his face.

"What?" I asked.

"Dude, you do stink!" he said and I heard laughter erupt from downstairs as Bella danced back into view.

"I told ya so!" she sang at me and then she disappeared into the kitchen again.

I gave up and headed to the bathroom to get the stink off and ended up staying in for about 20 minutes, enjoying the hot water. I got out, toweled off and realized that I hadn't brought any clothes to the bathroom with me. I peeked out of the bathroom and didn't see anyone so I wrapped the towel around my waist and ran to the bedroom and shut the door behind me.

I was about to remove the towel when I felt someone watching me. I turned around and saw Ally sitting on the bed eying me like she wanted to eat me.

"Can…umph...can I help you?" I asked in my most gentlemanly voice while feeling a blush creep up my entire body.

"Oh it's nothing really. Connor and Timmy won't let me have a pet of my own so I thought I would play with you" she said as she got off the bed and crossed the room towards me. My jaw hit the floor and I could feel the heat in my face as the blush darkened on me. Did she really just say that?

"Look, Bella is downstairs and she won't take kindly to you being in here" I said, trying to sound firm with her but it didn't seem to be working. She kept coming closer and my back found the wall right beside the bedroom door.

"It's fine silly! I just want to play. But then again, maybe later" Ally said laughing at me as she opened the door and walked out of the room. Before she turned the corner she called back over her shoulder "pets are so fun!"

I breathed a sigh of relief and tried to shut the door with my foot but it stopped suddenly. "What do you want now?" I asked impatiently before I turned around and was shocked to see Bella standing there. She looked like she was about to cry so I quickly apologized and told her what had happened with Ally and then kissed her softly, all while still in my towel.

"Well, ok, I am going to definitely keep my eye on her, she is almost as bad as Tanya!" Bella muttered.

"Bella, let me get dressed real fast and we can go downstairs together" I said, kissing her again as I got up off of the bed. "Oh, and please stay and protect me" I said, winking at her. The smile that crept on her face told me I was forgiven and apparently desired at the moment.

"Edward? Honey? I have a question….." Bella started with a mischievous grin on her face and her eyes traveling up and down my body.

"No Bella, let's get dressed and we can do that later" I said and disappeared into the closet to throw on some clothes. I emerged in a pair of jeans and a plain white t-shirt and Bella gasped from the bed.

"Damn, are you sure this isn't a dream cause you keep looking better and better" she said, licking her lips then biting on the lower one. God this woman was driving me crazy! I dove onto the bed and grabbed her, laying her down and kissing her up and down her neck, nibbling on her ears and then I felt two small hands pushing against my chest.

"Now now Edward, we can do that later" she said and laughed. Then she got up, grabbed my hand and pulled me out of the room.

We made it to the kitchen and I could smell something wonderful, what was that smell? We entered the kitchen and sitting on the bar was two plates of pancakes, dripping with butter and syrup, fresh sliced watermelon, and big glasses of milk. My stomach growled loudly at the sight of the food and Bella smiled.

"This looks great! But I can't ever recall eating any of this. Is it good?" I asked her apprehensively.

"Of course! I did make it didn't I? Just sit down and eat, I am sure you will enjoy it" Bella said as she took her seat and started in on her smaller stack of pancakes. I followed her lead and got a bite of pancakes on my fork and then eyed them suspiciously.

"Just eat it already!" Bella scolded me and I put the bite in my mouth. OMG! Pancakes were freaking awesome. I think it only took me about 5 more bites to finish off the stack on my plate and Bella slid her plate towards me, offering hers. I greedily ate them up as she ate her watermelon.

As we were finishing up breakfast Emmett and Alice walked into the kitchen.

"Good morning you two! I hope you are up for some fun tonight" Alice said cheerily.

"Why?" Bella asked, eying her warily.

"Cause we are taking you two out for some fun to celebrate Edward's return! Now Bella, go take a quick shower and be back down here in 30 minutes, we have some shopping to do!" Alice said in her best motherly voice.

Bella scowled and Emmett laughed at her.

"Do I have…" Bella started but was cut off by Rosalie entering the kitchen.

"Yes you do! Now, upstairs before I take you up there myself!" Rose said and moved toward Bella. She jumped out of her seat and kissed me quickly then was off to the bathroom, Rose and Alice on her heels.

"So Eddie boy!" Emmett said, nudging me. "You sure do smell better."

"Gee thanks" I said back as I cleaned up from breakfast. "So where are you guys taking us?"

"Nope, won't get it out of me! Rose would kill me. I am just supposed to keep you busy today" Emmett said and saluted Rose as she poked her head back into the kitchen.

Just then, Jasper, Connor, Timmy, and Wyatt entered the kitchen from outside, they looked a little dirty. They must have been out hunting. Jasper came over and hugged me suddenly and I was a little shocked by it.

"We missed you Edward. After we lost you, it was almost unbearable to be around Bella due to her emotions. Now, I don't want to leave the room she is in because her emotions are so pleasant to be around. Thank you Edward for coming back" Jasper said releasing me from the hug.

"Um, you're welcome?" I said back and everyone laughed. Apparently Timmy, Wyatt, and Connor had been filled in on my situation last night because they seemed to get the joke.

"Well boys, who is up for a Call of Duty tournament?" Emmett said leading the way to the living room. This was going to be a long day.

I ended up enjoying watching them play the game and almost jumped when Bella wrapped her arms around me and kissed me on the neck.

"We will be back later after they torture me some" Bella said shooting a look at Rose, Alice, and Ally.

"Ok love, I love you" I said and kissed her lips.

"I love you too" Bella said and was pulled out the door.

* * * * * * * * * *

I got so wrapped up in the game and actually beat Connor and Timmy at it a few times but I had lost track of time. I looked at the clock and saw it was 5pm and my stomach growled in protest of not being fed. I excused myself and headed for the kitchen and found Esme in there, preparing me a few sandwiches.

"I heard your growling over the game and thought I would help you out" Esme said and I smiled at her then wrapped her in a hug. "I am so glad you are home Edward. We all missed you so much."

"I missed all of you too. This being human is going to take some time to get used to though. How did I ever manage it before?" I said shrugging then shoved half a sandwich into my mouth.

I turned around and carried the plate back towards the living room and saw the door open and Bella stood there with bags hanging off of her arms looking defeated. She dropped them when she saw me and ran to me.

"SAVE ME!" she cried and hid behind me as Alice, Rose, and Ally entered with twice as many bags as Bella had and looked at her.

"You aren't done yet Bella" Alice said. "You should know that by now."

"Edward, don't let them take me" Bella said from behind me.

"Bella, remember, the sooner you go with them, the sooner you can get back to me and we can see where tonight is going to go" I said to her over my shoulder before stuffing another half a sandwich in my mouth.

"Fine!" Bella said and she kissed me on the cheek and went to pick up her bags and head upstairs.

* * * * * * * * * *

It had been 3 hours since Bella went upstairs with the rest of the girls and I wondered how much longer it would be. Before I could start up the stairs to see what was taking so long I heard Rosalie yell from behind Alice's bedroom door.

"BOYS! UPSTAIRS NOW, ALL YOUR CLOTHES ARE LAID OUT FOR YOU IN MINE AND EMMETT'S ROOM! GET DRESSED!" Rosalie screamed.

Emmett quickly switched off the TV and turned to look at us. "Hurry up! I know that tone and she means business."

We all laughed and followed him upstairs to see what we would be wearing. We entered Emmett and Rose's room and saw 6 outfits folded up on the bed, a name on each one. We each went to our respective piles and discovered a shirt, jeans, and shoes for each of us. They all looked casual but nice and we obediently got dressed at Emmett's urgings to not piss Rose off. Once we were all dressed we headed back downstairs to wait for the ladies. We didn't have to wait long.

"Guys, bottom of the stairs! Here we come!" Alice called out and we stood in a half circle at the bottom of the stairs, waiting like good little puppies for them. Carlisle and Esme had come into the room to see what we all looked like and see us off.

The first person to appear at the top of the stairs was Ally. Ally was in a pink halter dress that looked like she was wearing a bikini top with it. It hung to her curves and I did have to admit she looked nice. She made her way down the stairs and I saw Timmy, Wyatt, and Connor compliment her on her appearance which made her smile widely.

Next was Alice. I felt a wave of lust hit me when she appeared. Apparently Jasper couldn't hold in his feelings for how she looked. Alice was wearing a bright green dress that wrapped around her neck and flowed around her petite curves. She looked radiant in it and she only had eyes for Jasper. I smiled at their love for each other.

I was busy watching Alice and Jasper so I hadn't noticed Rosalie appear at the top of the stairs. My attention was quickly brought to her when Emmett let out a loud whistle and said "HOT DAMN!" Hot damn was right! Rose was in a tight red dress, if you could call it that, which only covered the necessary parts. It was held on her neck by a string and then a little bit of fabric flowed down from the strings and covered her breasts. The middle of her chest was exposed all the way down past her belly button. Emmett ran up the stairs to her and wrapped his arms around her, carrying her back to the main floor. That left only one.

I turned my eyes back to the top of the stairs and waited. Nothing. I stepped up one step and waited again. No one. I turned to Alice and she scowled.

"Bella! We are waiting…" Alice called up the stairs and I heard a door creak open slowly and I held my breath. After seeing everyone else I could only imagine what they put Bella in.

Bella appeared at the top of the stairs and my jaw hit the floor. I drank in every bit of her from her delicate high heels, up her silky exposed legs, her hair was curled and pulled back from her face but hanging long in the back. Her eyes were played up and smoky and she had on dark red lipstick. The dress…. Oh the dress was pure heaven. It was white and form fitting, barely long enough to cover her butt. The back was completely open and ended in a V right above her ass. The front of the dress wrapped around her neck and it hung low, dipping down to show the swell of her breasts. I felt myself getting aroused just looking at her. Jasper must have felt it too because a calm wave washed over me. I slowly ascended the stairs and stopped at the one right below Bella so I could look into her eyes.

"You are absolutely breathtaking Isabella Swan" I said as I let my eyes slowly travel over her body again.

"You, you really think so?" Bella asked unsure of whether or not I really was telling the truth.

"Oh yes! REALLY!" I said low and huskily as I wrapped my arms around her and kissed her deeply completely unaware of the audience we had until someone cleared their throat.

Bella pulled away and we both blushed deeply as we made our way down the stairs.

"Oh Eddie! I didn't know you were one for lipstick!" Emmett hooted at me and I caught sight of myself in the hallway mirror. I had Bella's lipstick all over my lips.

Bella and I instantly blushed the same shade as our lips and Emmett bent over laughing hard.

"It's a TWOFER!" He yelled and everyone erupted in laughter. Even Esme as she appeared beside me with a napkin so I could clean up then she scolded Emmett playfully.

"Well kids? Where are you off to tonight looking so beautiful and handsome?" Carlisle asked.

"Oh a little place in Philly called Club Flow, it is supposed to be the hottest dance spot in the state and we figured it would be perfect for everyone" Alice said and Bella looked mortified.

"I don't dance" she whispered to me in a panicked tone.

"Don't worry, I will help you every step of the way" I whispered back and kissed her quickly.

"Group picture!" Esme called out and we all posed for her. She quickly snapped the picture and we headed out the door.

Alice, Jasper, Bella, and I got into Alice's Eclipse convertible. It was yellow with black stripes and Alice took the driver's seat. Emmett, Rosalie, Connor, Timmy, Wyatt, and Ally got into Emmett's black Cadillac Escalade and I felt the bass as he turned up the system.

I wrapped my arms around Bella in the small back seat of the Eclipse and couldn't help but stare at how short her dress was and how much skin it exposed. I would have to thank Alice for this one later.

We made it to the city in an hour and Alice quickly found the club and parked, Emmett pulling up beside us. We all got out of the cars and paired up then headed towards the door and the long line of people staring at all of us with their eyes wide and their mouths hanging open.

Alice and Rosalie led the way and walked straight up to the bouncer and flashed him their seductive smiles. I heard Emmett and Jasper chuckle behind me and the bouncer looked like he was in love. He unclipped the red velvet rope and let us all in with everyone just staring at us the entire time.

I had a feeling that tonight was going to get really interesting really quick and I couldn't wait to see what Bella and I could get into…
