"Emmett and Jasper!! Get your asses out here right now!!"

I was pissed. No wait, I was beyond pissed. I was livid. How dare my friends go along and ransack my fiancé's apartment? Have they no shame?

"Yo, Edward! Welcome home. I had no idea you came back!" Emmett walked into the room, cool and calm. Jasper followed right after.

"What's got your panties in a knot Edward? Well, more so than they always are anyway." Jasper was not funny.

"What were you guys thinking? Really? Going into Tanya's apartment and executing silly and childish pranks?"

Jasper stood up from his place on the sofa "Edward, I don't know what you're talking about…"

"Can it. I don't need for you to pee on my leg and tell me it's raining. My question is why?"

"Why? Why? Edward let me ask you a question. Why do you care? Answer me honestly and I'll give you an honest answer in return. Why do you care?"

I opened my mouth automatically to answer him but then I stopped. Emmett wasn't bullshitting with me and by the look on his face, he was waiting for my answer.

"Well…I…umm…it's just that…"

Well shit. What the fuck?

"Edward, besides the fact that what we did was stupid and childish and shouldn't be done period, why do you care about stupid pictures of you and Tanya together? Do you really love her that much?"

Jasper's voice of reasoning was hard to ignore. I had no idea why I was listening to him now even though they've tried to tell me this hundreds of times before…but I had a feeling that the reason's name was Bella.

I ran my hand through my hair and started pacing, thinking about my future and where I was headed. Tanya had been a big part of my life and helped me in many ways…but I realized that I wasn't in love with her. I didn't want to be with her forever. If I stayed with her, I would never truly be happy and in love.

But Bella…well, she was a different story. Bella ignited something in me that I couldn't ignore. I can't picture myself living without her. Her sweet smile, her laugh, her twinkling eyes. She was my world, my life, and I was just realizing this now.

I loved her.

Yes, that was it. I love Bella.

And she loves me too.

Dammit, I'm such an idiot! She loves me. Now that I look back, all those smiles, hugs and happiness when she was around me was all because she loved me. I was her world and she was mine…AND WHY THE HELL WAS I JUST FINDING THIS OUT?!

I looked up to find Emmett and Jasper staring intently at me. I had forgotten I was with them and they didn't know about Bella and I just yet. I didn't want to tell them either. Whether or not we wanted to admit it, what we did wasn't right. We had done things with one another while we were both attached to someone and I didn't want anybody looking down on her in any way…especially our best friends.

"Edward, are you okay man?" Emmett walked closer to me, my guess is to inspect me closer. I took a couple of steps back.

"Of course I'm okay, why do you ask?"

"Oh no reason," Jasper said, "It's just that one minute you looked like you were ready to murder us with your bare hands and now, you look as giddy as a school girl."

"I do?"

They both nodded. I smiled at them. I was in love.

God, I just hope that Bella will still have me.

"So, what else did you guys do to Tanya's house?"

"What do you mean? I thought she told you," Emmett said.

"Not everything. I could tell she was hiding something but she wouldn't say what."

Jasper laughed out loud. "Oh man, well, Emmett decided it would be funny to hide things throughout her house so she could find later."

I glanced at Emmett and he had a huge grin on his face. "What things?"

"Oh…I just went and hid dildo's all over her house. Some of them were obviously hidden, like her bedroom and bathroom but other's I got creative."

"Creative how?"

"Well, I put one in her freezer in between the frozen corn and pea bags. It's pretty well hidden with just the head poking out of it. If I'm lucky enough, one of her guests will find it before she does."

I couldn't help but laugh. Of all the things…

"Oh and some between the sofa cushions, in her cereal box and another one in her coat pocket. I put that one there for when she's out in public."

"Stop! Stop right there. I get it, you put them everywhere. What I have to know is why? I mean, it's a funny prank and all but why go through the trouble in the first place?"

Jasper stepped closer to me and put a hand on my shoulder. "Edward…you know we love you right? We'd do anything for you. We have a really strong bond with one another and we'd do anything to not see you get hurt."

As I looked into his eyes, I realized what he was trying to say without him having to say it. "Has it ever happened with you guys more than once?"

This time, Emmett approached and put his hand on my other shoulder. "Yeah man, it has. We tried to tell you but…"

"But I wouldn't listen." I sighed as I looked into their faces. The faces of my best friends…friends who would never lie to me. "I'm sorry I was such a jack-ass for so long. I guess I just didn't want to know what went on."

"I can understand man. It just hurt that you didn't believe us. We'd never lie to you about something this big Edward. Never." Emmett was the most sincere I'd ever seen him.

"Oh also, I'd like to put in something else," Jasper interrupted, "Bella had nothing to do with what we did inside of her apartment. That was all us. She just wanted us to keep her at her apartment in any way possible and we knew the only way she'd leave the studio would be because of a robbery. When she got there, we decided to slash her tires figuring it'd be the easiest way to keep her there. Bella had no clue what was going on. I don't want her name dragged though the mud for doing something she didn't do. "

"Yeah, the mud naming honors go to me and Jazz along with Rose and Alice. Man, those girls are something else."

I rolled my eyes at their apparent idolization of the girls. "Thanks guys, now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to my room to lie down. I'd call Tanya right now, but she's busy at the moment. I'll call her tomorrow so I can officially end this with her."

I don't think I'd ever seen my friends look so happy…well, they were happier when they hooked up with Rose and Alice but still. They were happy that I wasn't going to be with Tanya anymore and I was happy that I had finally come to terms with my feelings for Bella.

Yes, tomorrow was going to be one happy day.

BPOV

I couldn't bear the thought of what Edward was probably up to today so I decided to head on over to James' place. I don't know what in the world I was looking for with him, but it had to be better than sitting in my room and moping over Edward. What would be his decision? What outcome would this come to? As pathetic is as this sounds, I knew I'd stick around and just be his friend, even if that meant I'd see him with her and my heart would break that much more.

I was such a masochist.

I walked up to James' door and knocked but he didn't answer. I knew he was there because his car was in the parking lot. Hmmm….maybe he can't hear me. I knocked louder this time but still no answer. His doorbell was a no go seeing as it wasn't in working order and he hadn't been answering his phone.

I tried his door and it was open. I hesitated for a minute, wondering if I should proceed. I wasn't sure if we were that close to one another yet but hell, we'd been with each other intimately. I figured having his cock in my mouth would constitute giving me the right to enter his apartment just to check if he was alright.

Everything seemed to be in working order; his living room, kitchen and even his bathroom. I kept walking down the hallway and I heard some noise coming out of his bedroom. It sounded like the TV was on and I was about to knock when I heard exactly what was coming out of the TV.

I would know what those noises were from anywhere. They were all too familiar.

I cracked his door open just a tad and peeked in. James was on his bed stretched out with his dick in his hand furiously pumping himself. His eyes were trained to the TV with a look of pure concentration on his face. I peered over to the screen and sucked in my breath quickly.

Edward was on the screen as was James with some girl. Edward was taking the girl from behind and James was positioned in front of the girl as she was sucking him off. So this is the video that the two of them made together. But why in the world is he jacking himself off to this?

My answer came soon when I turned my attention back to James. He was panting and groaning now and with one more stroke, he uttered his fantasy out loud making me freeze in my spot.

"Edward!!" James cried out as his cum spurted out all over his hand and he looked like he was in total bliss. I stared, too shocked to move or make a sound. I knew I had to do something or I'd look like a fuckin' peeping tom; but considering my boyfriend was thinking of my love interest as he jacked himself off, I think I could be forgiven of this incident.

I opened the door a bit wider and cleared my throat. James jumped himself off the bed with a 'holy shit' look on his face.

"Bella! Oh my God! I can explain, just give me one moment, please!" James looked totally mortified and if I hadn't been in love with Edward myself and knew the type of attraction he posed to members of both sexes, I might've been pissed.

I tried to hold in my laughter at the situation for James' sake and gestured my hand toward the bathroom. "I'll be here when you come out."

I sat down on his bed, remembering all the times I was in here on different terms and tried to figure out how I had been so stupid. Of course he was in lust with my Edward. Who wouldn't be? It turns out I wasn't the only one in a sticky situation.

James met me on his bed about five minutes later, clothes and all. I smiled up at him showing that I wasn't upset and patted the spot next to me. He sighed as he planted himself down and squeezed my thigh.

"This wasn't the way I wanted you to find out, Bella."

"About what? That you're infatuated with Edward and enjoy jacking off to him?"

He smiled a bit at that. "I'm glad you're the type of woman that can find humor in this situation. Anybody else would've had my balls served on a platter."

Funny…I thought of Rose when he said that.

"How long have you been feeling like this toward Edward?"

"For awhile now. I've never told anybody. I knew what the response would be. They'd all laugh at me."

"What? Why would anybody do that? You're very handsome James there's no doubt about that."

"Oh, I've no question about my looks, as vain as that may seem. It's just common knowledge that Edward doesn't swing that way. Believe me Bella, I dropped hints while we were filming together and he never once acknowledged any of them."

I thought about all those times that Edward and I had together and realized the man was pretty dense when it came to anything regarding hints.

"Edward isn't very good with hints, James. He's the type of person that you need to tell straight up. Have you ever tried to be forward with him?"

He looked a bit shocked as he contemplated what I'd just said. "No actually, I haven't. Do you think that maybe he'd do it? Or even consent to trying?"

"Oh well I don't know James. I can't speak for the man, but I don't think it would hurt you to try. I mean, you've only got this one life right? Might as well make it count. You'd regret having to live with the 'what if' of this situation."

He nodded his head as he agreed with me. "You're very wise Bella. Very wise. Now can I ask you a question? How long have you been in love with Edward?"

I was too stunned to speak for a moment. Did I hear him right? Surely he didn't know…he couldn't know.

"What? I…I don't know what you're talking about."

"Oh come on Bella. I know I've got you by the shocked look on your face. Besides, I know you had to be thinking of someone when we were having sex."

I knew that if my face could've gotten third degree burns from the heat that it harbored, it would've.

"How did you know…"

"It was pretty quick deduction. Any time you'd come to see me when you were upset, it was always after you'd been with Edward. I just put two and two together. I knew you were upset and hurting and I really like you Bella. I guess I just don't love you like a forever, let's get married type of love. I hated to see you hurting. So, I gave you what you really wanted or needed, as the case may be."

God, I felt like such a jack-ass. James had been nothing but kind to me and looked out for me and I had used him like he was some cheap whore. Could I be more disgusted with myself?

"James, I'm so sorry…"

"Don't apologize Bella. Don't you even dare. I'm no saint, not by a long shot. You see, I was fantasizing of your love interest myself and I doubt that makes me a selfless saint."

I couldn't help but laugh at the irony of it all. I was crying and laughing at the same time.

"This is so ridiculous! I can't believe this is happening!"

James smiled as he wrapped me into a hug. "I just can't believe you're not more upset with me. I mean hell, I dreamt of doing some really bad things to your Edward. By all rights, you should be ripping me to shreds and burning the pieces."

He was so dramatic. "No actually, I'm not upset. It's actually kind of a turn on to think about it. You're a very handsome man James, although I understand what you mean. It's not a forever, let's get married type of love that I feel."

He nodded and seemed to be deep in thought. "My question is why on earth has he not dropped that god awful woman and turned to you? Surely the idea of you having a boyfriend hasn't stopped him from pursuing you, has it?"

I smiled a sad smile at that. "No, it hasn't stopped him. Things have escalated between the two of us and I think he's actually going to choose her in the end. I mean, it's reasonable. They've been together for years and it's a familiar relationship that they have. She'll always be a part of him."

He made a face at that and said, "God, I hope he doesn't settle for her. She's a two timing slut."

"What do you mean?"

"Well, that first night together at that club, she followed me out to the bar and tried coming on to me. I turned her down though. I wasn't interested in Edward's fiancé and besides, I had you. You're really fun to be with Bella."

"Thanks, although I can't believe she came onto you like that. Why didn't you tell me?"

"I didn't think you knew Edward well enough to care and I didn't want you to worry about me leaving you for someone like her. I did try to tell Edward that there's something not right with his fiancé, but he seemed to be preoccupied with something. It turned out to be someone," he gestured, making eyes at me.

"I'm sorry for all the mess I put you in James. I really am. But thank you so much for being there for me. You truly are a good friend…and I'm sorry that I used you."

"Nothing doing Bella. It was my pleasure…seriously. Now, I suppose you want to take back what you said about me trying out some moves on our boy there?"

I beamed back up at him. "Not at all. By all means, James go for it. Even if Edward did fall for something like that, I wouldn't be jealous. The only requirement I have is that you tell me how he reacts to the initial insinuation of what you really think of him."

"Brilliant! I'll do it next time I see him. Now that I've got your blessing, I'm not going to hesitate. I'll let you know how it goes."

I nodded and stared at the TV. It was off but I couldn't help but wonder what exactly was on that tape. James followed my stare as a smile crept up to his face.

"Would you like to see it?"

"I don't know…"

"You'd enjoy it. I promise you. It's not very long anyway and besides, you already know what I look like without clothes…and Edward too?"

I didn't answer, just blushed, and he understood. He got up and put on the DVD to start again.

"Get comfortable Bella. This is going to be good; and don't worry, I won't touch you. This is totally platonic right now."

I nodded and got comfortable, a little greedy as to what was about to be revealed in front of me.

The scene started innocently enough. Edward, the girl and James were sitting on the couch talking about nothing at all. They were enjoying a quiet evening when things started to take a sexual turn. James was rubbing the girl's thigh and looking at Edward as they both smiled.

"What do you say my friend and I try something with you? You up for it?" James asked the girl. She eagerly nodded her head as James' hand went higher up on her thigh, revealing a pair of red panties.

Edward adjusted himself closer to the pair and started to kiss the girls neck, massaging one of her tits in his hands. James had put his mouth on her other tit biting through her shirt and attacked her nipple. The girl just leaned back and let the two men do their thing to her.

Edward broke contact first as he stood up and released himself of his pants, his dick coming straight at attention. He reached for the girls hand and pulled her up too, taking off her shirt and then pushing her to the ground on her knees.

James released himself of his clothing as well and bared himself and all his glory, except he sat back on the couch and stroked himself as he watched Edward and the girl together.

She grabbed his dick and slowly started to pump him earning a groan from Edward. His hands were in her hair, twisting it with his fingers until finally, the girl opened her mouth and took him in. His cock was glistening as the camera got a close-up of the action and her tongue ran his long length.

She continued to bob her head up and down as Edward guided her, pushing her in as much as she could take him. I thought that I'd be jealous watching this but in reality, I was turned on more than I could've imagined. I mean, this was before he met me so it's not like I had a say in the matter.

James had gotten himself up and decided he needed some of the action as well. The three of them readjusted themselves and the girl continued to be on her knees, except this time, she had a pair of dicks waving in front of her face, both vying for attention.

She took in James next and stroked Edward as well who was still standing on the side of her. She kept moving from one dick to the other, taking turns putting them into her mouth. Her moans weren't helping the situation as I couldn't help but wonder what that must've been like.

They moved again and the girl was now positioned on her hands and knees as Edward took her from behind and she continued to suck off on James. She tried to take him all in, but he was too huge for her mouth, so she stroked what wouldn't fit. Edward continued to pump into her hard, using all his strength to fuck her. His hands were up front, one of them fondling her tits and the other grabbing at her hair.

I was so entranced by the show that I had totally forgotten that James was sitting right next to me. I turned to look at him but his eyes were trained to the TV, mainly Edward. I could definitely understand…having his cock dangling in front of you could do that to a person…I'm just glad I wasn't the only one to have that affect.

When I turned my attention back to the TV, the guys had switched places. Edward was now in the front and James was banging her from behind. The camera got up close to both of them and when the close-up of Edward getting a blow job came up I couldn't help but whimper. What I wouldn't give to have him in my mouth again.

To me, that first time didn't really count. It was in front of everyone and as much as you want to lose your inhibitions, you can't. In the back of your mind, you're always aware that someone is watching you, filming you and catching this most private of moments. I had plenty of ideas of what I'd like to do to that man when we were alone. I just hoped it would get that far some day.

The ending of the video was coming near as both James and Edward had now taken the positions that they had before, standing naked and at attention while the girl kneeled in front of them again.

She once again took turns sucking off one and then the other, her strokes never faltering. Both guys were moaning by now and the heads on their dicks looked reddish-purple, a sure sign that they were about to cum.

She kept up her actions for just a moment longer when Edward grunted first, telling the girl to pull back as she offered her tits as a drop off point. He took his cock in his palm and stroked himself, James following suit. Edward shot off first, his cum almost not making it to her tits as his cum propelled out far. He continued to stroke himself vigorously and James was next. He too, jacked himself off and he came just moments after Edward did. His cum shot out and landed on her tits as well, both his and Edward's fluids combined with one another.

They released themselves but both of their dicks still looked full and hard, almost as if they could go on for a next round. The scene cut out and that was that.

"Well Bella, what did you think?"

"Wow, I…I'm speechless. That was amazing."

James' smile was huge and infectious, obviously proud of the little movie that he had made. "I can see why you jack yourself off to this movie. Edward is pretty sexy huh?"

He laughed as he replied. "Yes he is. What I wouldn't give for one more go round with him. Even though we didn't touch one another, just to have him naked in front of me would be enough. What can I say; I'm a glutton for punishment."

I could definitely understand.

"Thank you James for sharing this with me. I know you didn't have to and it means a lot to me that you did."

"Not a problem Bella. Like I said, you're my friend and there isn't anything I wouldn't do for you."

I nodded and then I thought of the question that I had wanted to ask him since I came into the room. I wasn't sure if it was proper or not but curiosity got the better of me. I just hoped I wouldn't offend him.

"Can I ask you something James? I hope I don't offend you or anything."

"You can ask me anything Bella. I'm not easily offended so I doubt you'd be able to."

"Okay well, umm…are you gay or just bi?"

He smiled at me and answered right away. "I'm bisexual. I love the company of women but I also love the company of men. It's the best of both worlds I suppose you could say. I tried out a guy once just for the heck of it, you know, to say that I tried it once. Well, turns out I liked it more than I thought I would…but not enough to give up women totally. Women are just softer, you know?"

I nodded understanding him a little. I'd done a few shoots with Rose and Alice and their bodies were always soft and smooth. Men were definitely a bit rougher, but in a good way.

I realized it was already late and jumped off the bed. "I've got to go James. I'm sorry."

"It's okay Bella. I'll call you later if you don't mind? I just hope we can remain friends considering that you're heart belongs to someone else."

"You'd want to remain friends with me?" Even after the horrible way that I used him, I couldn't believe that he still wanted to remain friends.

"Of course Bella. I meant what I said. You mean a lot to me and I really like you and all your friends as well. I'll still be in your life if you let me."

I gave him a huge hug when I realized that he meant it. "Yes! Yes, I want you to remain in my life James. I couldn't think of a better friend for me…and who knows, maybe we can have 'let's crush on Edward Cullen together' parties!"

He laughed at that. "It's a deal. I'll see you soon Bella."

"I'll see you soon James."

I headed out into the night, hoping that tomorrow, when I wake up on Sunday morning, I'd hear from Edward; whether it be good or bad.

AN: So, what did you guys think? I know some of you guessed that James was bi, but lots of people thought that he was crushin on Laurent, not Edward. I have to say I did not come up with the idea myself. 4theluvofMary gave me this idea and I ran with it so thanks! I knew you were my bff for a reason! And (so and so) also gave me the idea for putting dildo's in Tanya's apartment. I thought it was hilarious so I added it.

Is this an all clear for Edward and Bella? No my dears it's not. But to ease your minds, they will be together but that doesn't mean the surprises are stopping at the moment. Oh what else do I have planned for them? You'll see my pretties, you'll see.
