I started making my way toward the table. I was thinking about how really strange it was that my former co-star's best friends and roommates were the ones that my own best friends were filming with as well. Well, we were idiots. How did we not see this sooner? All I could think was that we weren't looking for it, of course we didn't see it.
I saw the gang up ahead. It looked like they had already introduced one another and were having a good laugh. Probably at the fact of how ignorant we were about this whole thing. I smiled as I saw Emmett talking with Rose and Jasper talking with Alice. Jasper's Bella looked on and seemed to enjoy the conversations that were going on around her. I couldn't see her clearly, but as I approached closer, I noticed how beautiful she was. Jasper never said Bella was drop-dead gorgeous.
I made it to the table and smiled at everyone. Jasper looked up and took his cue. "Oh hey, Edward. Let me introduce you. Of course you know Rosalie Hale, this is her friend Alice Brandon and the woman sitting right beside me is Isabella Swan.
Bella stood up from her chair and walked over to me and said, "It's so nice to meet you Edward. Jasper has told me alot about you and Emmett." She leaned over and gave me a quick hug. I hugged her back and I had never felt anything like it. It felt like I couldn't breathe. She pulled away too soon and smiled at me as I took in her deep, brown eyes. So beautiful. This woman standing before me was a goddess in her own right. Curse Jasper for not preparing me for this.
Not wanting to look stupid, I smiled back at her and said, "It's so nice to finally meet you Bella. You are every bit as beautiful as Jasper said you were." Bella casted her eyes downward and fuck me, she blushed. I had never seen that look on a woman before. Usually, all the women that I complimented knew they were beautiful and expected nothing less than a compliment. But Bella seemed to not be convinced of her true beauty. I would have to help her out with that tonight.
We sat back down as the conversation started rolling. I sat next to Rosalie, right across from Bella. I just had to keep looking at her face. I found myself trying to impress her, wanting her attention. Anytime she looked toward Jasper, my emotions went haywire. I knew he was my best friend, but if he put his lips anywhere near her tonight, I would have to castrate him. It would probably not go over well with him, but surely he'd understand right?
Oh what I would give to know what she was thinking.
BPOV
Oh no. The greek god that called himself Edward decided to sit right in front of me. Could it get anymore awkward? I was on a date with his best friend, but I couldn't stop staring at Edward. And when I hugged him, I felt nothing but sparks shoot between us. He smelled so wonderful and his body was incredibly built underneath those clothes. Mmm...what I wouldn't give to see this man totally naked before me.
Damn Rosalie. Damn her to hell.
I convinced myself that it wasn't Rosalie's fault she had already seen this glorious man naked...with his beautiful emerald green eyes staring back down at her. She had told me he was handsome, but not greek god handsome. How could she have missed that? I chanced a glance up at him and saw him staring at me. I looked down and blushed again.
He must think I'm an idiot...a stupid blushing idiot. I mean, who am I kidding? I couldn't compare to Rose, who would look perfect hanging off his arm. Nobody could compete against Rose. Well, no, that's not true. Alice could. Yeah, Alice could give Rose a run for her money. I sighed. What was I doing here? This was obviously a meeting for extrememly gorgeous people, which Edward was the president of, and I don't belong here.
I looked over to my side and noticed that Jasper and Alice were still in a deep conversation together as were Emmett and Rose. Wow. They must be getting along really well. Suddenly, I heard Emmett laugh out loud. He sure was boisterous.
"No fuck? Edward had to dress up as a doctor huh?" Emmett was laughing at something Rosalie had said.
Jasper got knocked out of his reverie and said, "Oh yeah, how do you girls think the shooting went?"
Alice smiled and said, "I think we did pretty well, huh Emmett?"
"We sure did, little pixie. The first tape should be coming out on Sunday."
"Yeah, ours too." said Jasper.
"Rose, they said ours was out on Sunday as well, right?" Edward asked turning toward Rosalie.
"Yeah, from what I understand."
My mind started taking me down the wrong path. Rosalie was going to be getting a tape of her and Edward. Edward naked. Edward doing sexual acts in all his glory. Edward dressed as a doctor. Oh my god. I think I actually stopped breathing. I quickly looked up around the table and noticed that everyone else was off in their own world too. I wonder what their all thinking about. Probably nothing as bad as what I am. Definitely not that bad.
"So girls, how did you guys meet?" Emmett asked looking around the table.
Rose spoke up "We actually met in college. We hit it off right away in our freshman year and have been best friends since then."
"I don't have any idea how we became friends really. We're all so different, which you'll soon be able to tell." I added.
Alice nodded her head up and down in agreement. "That's right. After college, we thought we would do this gig for kicks, you know. Well, we got paid lots of money for what we did and decided that this is what we would do as a career. I mean, it wasn't hard for us at all. We enjoyed ourselves actually."
Edward turned to face me. "You too Bella?"
Thank God the bar was dark. I was blushing again. The way he said my name...
"Yeah, I surprised myself actually. I didn't think I had it in me to do it, but the girls saw something in me that I didn't. They told me I was good enough and I believed them."
"You are definitely good enough Bella." replied Jasper while smiling at me. I smiled back.
"So, what exactly have you girls done?" Emmett asked.
"Well, mostly individual work, you know, some masturbation shots, then of course some shots with guys and then some of all of us together..."
When Alice said that, all three guys were taking swigs of their beers, they all proceeded choking. Emmett recovered first.
"When you say all of you together..."
"She means all of us together." Rosalie said, smirking at him.
All three of them stared at us with huge eyes. Really, you would've thought we gave them their Christmas gift early...then again, we probably did.
"How often does this happen?" asked Jasper casually, looking down at his coaster.
The three of us looked at each other. We weren't idiots.
Alice looked up and said innocently, "I don't know, we lost count after the first 4 times..."
Edward shifted in his seat.
"And the last time was?" Emmett prompted.
This time I spoke up. "About 5 months ago ladies? Am I correct?"
Both Rose and Alice nodded their heads. I recognized the evil glint in Rose's eyes. She was a wild woman on the loose.
"Of course, it seems longer than that, considering we sleep together anyway. We always have slumber parties and when it's been awhile since we've gotten laid, we just help lay each other."
Alice piped up. "Yeah, you should see Bella's vibrator collection. You would never guess it by looking at her, but boy, does she know what she likes!"
Okay, now they were going to far...I only had one vibrator. Stupid sluts.
I turned to look at the guys and I almost started laughing. I didn't think they were breathing anymore and one look in Jasper's lap was enough to confirm what I already knew. They were horny as hell.
Rose was going to sex hell. Along with me and Alice.
"Umm...guys?" Alice said.
Jasper let out a shaky, "Yes?"
"We're just joking. You know that right?" Rosalie said, her composure cracking as she started to laugh.
"What?!" Emmett yelled. Obviously he was disappointed.
"Do you mean there's no slumber parties, or vibrator assistance?" Jasper asked.
"Well, there's no slumber parties, but we do own vibrators. They're a must." Rose said.
"So, there's no video of you guys either, huh?" Edward asked.
"No, that was true." I replied. "Haven't you guys ever done one together?"
"Hell no." Emmett yelled. "Best friends or not, I ain't putting my junk anywhere near them. They couldn't handle me anyway."
"Oh please Emmett, don't act like your too much man for us. I've seen you and your not as big as I am." Jasper said, starting a fight.
Edward put his head in his hands and said, "Oh for the love of all that's holy...shut up!"
We were cracking up. Apparently, this is something that they fought on often.
Suddenly, Rosalie said, "Oh girls. I think it's time to sing our song."
My heart fell. There was no way I could sing in front of my personal adonis. There was no way.
"Bella..."
"No."
"I told her she didn't have to." Jasper said, trying to come to my rescue, but knowing full well he would lose.
"She doesn't have a choice." Alice said as she grabbed for my arm. We stood up to walk toward the stage.
The guys all stared at each other trying to figure out what our song could possibly be. I had to say something.
"Umm...girls. Don't you think the point is to try to keep these guys? I mean, I really like them." Especially Edward.
"Listen Bella, if their going to stick around, then they need to get to know the real us. Not some fake person they have glorified on the t.v. screen with our beautiful bodies and our killer sexual moves. They can hear us and then make their decisions if they want to stick around." Rose said. She was always the tough, in your face type.
Alice, of course, agreed.
I took a deep breath and made my way up to the stage. Well, here goes nothing.
EPOV
We stared at each other wondering what their song could possibly be. Jasper spoke up first.
"I bet it's a mushy, lovey dovey song. All girls sing songs like that."
Emmett agreed. "Yep, probably trying to let us know they crave romance and all that shit, which I would gladly give to Rosalie...and Alice and Bella." He added hastily. I turned to look at him. "We all would." He concluded. Hm...something was off.
We turned our attention to center stage as Rosalie, Bella and Alice graced the stage. Rosalie started off first, and this was definitely not a romantic song. This was a message.

Wow. That had to be one of the most entertaining things I had ever seen. Bella was up there and did her moves perfectly. She just impresses me more and more. I have to say, they got their message through pretty clear. But I had another song in my mind, that would counter act the song they just sang.
Oh yeah.
They had no idea who they were dealing with.
RPOV
We got down from the stage and made our way to the table. I was prepared to be faced with an empty table, considering we just told the guys that no matter what they did, we were our own woman. Instead, the guys were there, clapping and whistling at us as we made our way to the table.
"You girls were awesome!" Emmett yelled. "I had no idea you guys could sing!"
"Just one of our many talents." I replied looking at him. I could show you alot more of what I can do, my big, muscled...no, stop that!
"Well, lucky for you, we've got many talents as well." he replied looking right back at me. Oh my God...I could feel myself getting wet at his implications. I steadied myself with the table.
Edward bowed his head a bit and said, "Ladies, we'll be right back."
"What do you think their up to?" I asked them.
"I don't know, but whatever it is, it should be good. Emmett likes those rock type bands. The same as you Rose. I can't see him singing anything else." Alice said smiling as we took our seats.
"Well, let's find out."
The boys made their way up stage and stood toward the back, each with a mic in their hands. They gave a nod toward the DJ and when I heard the song they picked, I almost died.
They were good.
And I was in love.
(Play "For the longest time" here. Found in my profile)
Together:
Oh, oh, oh, oh
For the longest time
Oh, oh, oh
For the longest
Edward:
If you said goodbye to me tonight
There would still be music left to write
What else could I do?
I'm so inspired by you
That hasn't happened
Together:
For the longest time.
Jasper:
Once I thought my innocence was gone
Now I know that happiness goes on
That's where you found me
When you put your arms around me
I haven't been there
Together:
For the longest time
Together:
Oh, oh, oh, oh
For the longest time
Oh, oh, oh
For the longest
Emmett:
I'm that voice your hearing in the hall
And the greatest miracle of all
Is how I need you
And how you needed me too
That hasn't happened
Together:
For the longest time
Jasper:
Maybe this won't last very long
But you feel so right
And I could be wrong
Maybe I've been hoping to hard
But I've gone this far
And it's more than I hoped for
Edward:
Who knows how much further we'll go on
Maybe I'll be sorry when your gone
I'll take my chances,
I forgot how nice romance is
I haven't been there
Together:
For the longest time
Emmett:
I had second thoughts at the start
I said to myself, hold on to your heart
Now I know the woman that you are
Your wonderful so far
And it's more than I hoped for
Edward:
I don't care what consequence it brings
I have been a fool for lesser things
Jasper:
I want you so bad,
I think you ought to know that I
Intend to hold you
Together:
for the longest time
Oh, oh, oh, oh
For the longest time
Oh, oh, oh
For the longest time
Oh, oh, oh
For the longest time
Their they stood, snapping their fingers and tapping their toes to the rhythm. I could not believe that that was their voice and not that of a recording. They were unbelievable. And how did they know that was our song? The song we girls sang when we thought of our potential Romeos? Ugh. I hated feeling vulnerable.
The guys made their way back when the song was over and Edward, smiling, asked, "Well, how did you guys like it?"
Bella recovered first. "That was spectacular guys! I had no idea you could sing!"
Alice turned on Emmett. "I thought you liked rock bands? I had no idea you even knew who Billy Joel was!"
"I do like rock bands. That's my preferred music. But all three of us love all types of music and so, we pretty much know 'em all."
Amazing. Can this man get any more perfect? Seriously?
Unfortunately, he belonged to Alice. This was the only time that I have ever been jealous of her.
Why couldn't it have been me he worked with?
EPOV
Bella looked stunned. I had successfully impressed her. I had no idea she could sing and I was glad we had something in common. She looked radiant when she was happy.
Alice interupted my train of thought.
"Guys, Emmett and I are supposed to go roller skating tomorrow night, but we talked about it and we were wondering if you guys would like to go on a group date together?"
Hell yes!
"Oh, that sounds great! But Edward just recently got engaged so I'm not sure if he'd be up to going on a group date or not." Jasper spoke and broke me out of my trance.
Tanya.
What was I thinking?! I was an engaged man. I couldn't go around like some love sick school boy throwing my feelings out toward Bella when I could give her nothing in return. That wasn't fair to her. I was about to agree with Jasper when I took another look at Bella. She was staring at me with her beatiful, brown doe eyes. The words were out of my mouth before I could stop them.
"I would love to join you guys."
This would be the beginning of the end.
AN: Review my wonderful peeps! You know I want to hear from you!
