"Emmettt! STOP- AHH!" Rose giggled as she ran from Em who had a water gun in hand. He had just squirted her, and she turned to shoot him in the face. He pretended he was hit and fell to the ground, shouting 'sugar' or 'say hi to my mom'! I laughed and refilled me own water gun. It was boys against girls, which was pretty fair 5:4 to us. After all, boys are larger and Edward is very fast. We had gone to the grassy area where our separate sunbeds were put, and the sunbeds were our only cover.

We all had gained a gorgeous Turkish tan, which I was proud of the most. Alice gave us handy hints on keeping our tan, including that exfoliating doesn't get rid of your tan, but make it look better. And it did! We were 2 days away from leaving for the airport, and I was making the most of the sun and being with our friends. We always found things to do! We had been to some of the a la carte restaurants, and we were going to a Chinese restaurant tonight, with sounded exciting, so we had to get ready for the meal earlier. We had planned on drinking a bit tonight earlier, so we can take our time to get sober. Drinking after 10 was out of bounds now, and 2 hours to sober up will do us good.

Mine and Edward relationship so far: we had got even closer- yesterday he told me he loved me! I knew I loved him too, and we made out in his living room. I stayed over, but no sex.

Flashback

"Edward" I giggled as he licked up my neck. I nibbled on his earlobe and he groaned. This was one of the many nights we had gotten this far, but left it just as that.

"I need to tell you something" he mumbled as he jerked his hips to mine. I could feel him, down there, but I tried not to let on my fear.

"And what's that?" I asked. He stopped what he was doing, and looked directly into my eyes. We hadn't drunk at all that night, so I was slightly anxious as to what he was going to say. "Edward-?"

"I love you." He blurted out, looking into my eyes for any flickers of emotion."Not the pitiful 'love' that you hear young teenagers say when they've been going out for a week, that isn't real love. Not that sort of love. I've started to fall in love with you as soon as I met you. As soon as a saw you on that sunbed wearing my sunglasses. And over this past week and a half, I've begun to feel what I have never felt before. I love you."

I was stunned, but I knew what was deep inside as well. "Edward...I love you too." He beamed and resumed his kissing, just on my lips. I groaned, tugging on his hair. He pulled me even closer to him.

"Edward" I pulled back, resting my forehead on his, catching our breaths. He picked me up, stood up from the sofa, and set me down on the ground.

"I know, love."Edward smirked. I laughed lightly, stroking his face. I did love him.

"Lets go to sleep, I'm tired." I yawned as he picked me up again and place me on the bed, head on the pillow. A few seconds later I felt the mattress sink from behind me, and Edward wrapped his arms around me, spooning me. I snuggled into him and he pulls the covers up, to keep me warm.

End flashback.

I was afraid. Of having sex. Is it painful? I couldn't really remember what Alice had told me. She had already had sex with Jasper, she said it was right, it felt right, and she loved him as much as he loved her. I felt really happy for her, but was worried that she will be left heartbroken as we left for England, and they left for America. I was worried that I couldn't cope myself. I wasn't sure if i wanted a repeat of a few years ago. Nahuel had taken so much from me, without even realising it. It was bugging me what Edward would think if I told him.

"CHARGE!" I heard someone shout and suddenyl I was knocked off my feet, being picked up. I screamed and saw that underneath me was Jazz, who held me up like I was a pillow.

"Eddie! Look who I have? Do you want her? Yeah? Catch me!" Jazz laughed and ran with me on his back. Jazz was a decent runner as well, and he hid behind a tree. My head stuck up from the top and I made sarcastic comments on how he can see me.

"Jazz. Really. He can see me. He is waving right now." Edward then made a dash for Jazz, running around the tree, and misinterpreted how far he was, as he crashed into Jazz, knocking him over, and me with him. We landed with a crash, and I heard something click. Ow! My knuckle! Ugh! I grabbed Jazz's hand as he helped both me and Edward up, groaning.

"You okay?" We nodded.

"You?"

"I'm good" Jazz ran off. Edward gave me a piggy back and ran back. Emmett had a hold of Alice and Rose was squirting Alice with the water gun.

"Who's side are you on Rose?" I shouted, getting off Edward and stealing his gun, shooting at Emmett. Rose looked confused, then decided to aim at Em again. Em let go of Alice and I handed her one of my guns.

"Here."

"Thanks Bella!"

Just then me and Alice were picked up from behind. Boys! We screamed and wriggled in their arms as we were brought down on the floor. Edward held my hands above me head then leaned down for a kiss. I saw a flash coming from my side. Alice! I turned my head to face her, just as another flash went off. She had brought her waterproof camera, so we had many photos that we were going to print off when we get back home.

"I've almost ran out of memory, so I'm savouring all of these photos for the best moments" Alice said happily.

"Well take more of yourself then!" I said sweetly, trying to let her know via the twin mind to go and leave me be with my boyfriend, or whatever we were. We were boyfriend and girlfriend, weren't we? She didn't get the message.

"Awe, you are too kind! Why don't we all have a group photo? EVERYONE! GROUP PIC!" Everyone gathered around, so we were forced to get up and join them. Just before the flash, Colin said:

"Here's to all the girls waiting for the COLIN!" We all burst out laughing. Colin over the past few days had gotten more and more funny, and he told us about the theory that if you pretend to be cool and act like 'a catch', then girls will fall for you. He was going to update us on that after the holiday went he goes to college. I couldn't wait.

"That was perfect!" Jazz went and looked to see the picture, I didn't bother, as Edward distracted me once again.

A few hours later:

"Okay, we REALLY have to go if we want to get ready on time..." I said to everyone, sad to leave to comforts of the sunbed with Edward. Edward sighed.

"Okay. 5 more minutes." I groaned.

"Love, we've had 15 minutes already!" Edward smirked.

"Yeah alright, love." He gave me another breath taking smile.

I wiggled out of his grasp and put on my flip flops, dragging Alice away from Jazz on the next sunbed. Jess, Colin, Angela and Rose had already departed as they had shower routines as they all had to share.

"Come on, lads!" Em told the boys. "You want your ladies to look sexy for tonight, don't you?" I smiled, knowing where this was going.

"Because you don't want them to-" I threw my flip flop at him, hitting him in the face.

"-HEY!" He threw it back at me and I put it back on my foot. We started to walk back, so the boys caught up to us. The elevator ride was entertaining, as Em, being the mature person he was, pushed all of the buttons, then ran out to see who would make it up to each floor first. We won, as we jumped into the opposite elevator and went to his floor straight away, then waited for him to arrive.

"Hey! I know you cheated. You came from the other elevator!" said Captain Obvious. (A/N: where have I heard this? I forget xD)I laughed, then gave the two best friends, Jazz and Edward, a kiss on each cheek before we went to our own floor. Edward pouted, but I wouldn't have it. I pressed the 'Shut elevator doors' button myself, giving a wink to him before the doors shut. Once we had gotten ready, we made our way to the lobby to meet the rest of them, Colin couldn't join us since he had family with him, so they had to eat together. We headed for the Chinese a la carte restaurant, and took our seats. This restaurant wasn't a buffet, you had a menu and order the food you want.

"I'm ace at using chopsticks" Angela said. We all laughed.

"Oh, look at you and your skills" Em said, high-fiving her. I was quite good at chopsticks myself. As we were served, I saw Edward picking up a piece of sushi. Burgh! Edward saw my face and offered it me, literally shoving it in my mouth. Nice. My taste-buds registered the taste and I gagged. Ever since I went fishing with Charlie in America, I couldn't eat fish. I didn't want to seem gross if I spat it out, so I chewed and swallowed, drinking a huge gulp of water as it went down. I made a involuntary face. Edward laughed and ate another piece of sushi. I looked over at Rosalie, who was trying to stick one chopstick in to hold it in place, before she ate it. It didn't work. I laughed, and she gave me the bird. Alice was taught by me how to use chopsticks, so was teaching Jazz how to do it, as he was just using his fingers. I picked up my chosen chicken chow mein with side dish egg fried rice.

"Emmett. Please, you're insulting anyone Chinese by using chopsticks that way." I joked. "Here" I showed him how to position the two chopsticks together and how to pick food up. He wasn't cooperating, so I gave up, and let him continue trying to balance the sushi piece with a chopstick in each hand. I laughed again. I noticed that Edward was staring at me, with some emotion in his eyes. I guessed it was pride. I smiled up at him.

"What?" He looked away.

"Nothing." he leaned in towards my ear "I was just wondering how perfect my...girlfriend is."

I blushed, looking down, then said back to him "Well, I was wondering the same thing about my boyfriend, who knew?" He grinned my crooked grin at me.

"Come on, love birds- your food's going to get cold!" Em said. He sounded like my Mom. I told him that and he looked shocked at himself.

"I didn't realise! I swear!" Rose patted his back. We all laughed. Rose then remembered something, getting her magazine out of her handbag, and handing it to me.

"Bella, you need to see this, it's honestly nothing compared to what it could be, but I thought you should know..." On the front cover, was a Picture of Rose and Emmett, at an awards show, smiling for the camera. Underneath was a picture of what I can guess...was her and Edward! The caption said "Emmett Cullen hasa brother! Proarh!"

I turned to the page on the magazine. The page included a section on Em and Rose, with a bad quality photo of them leaving Antalya Airport. The column was of them taking a family holiday with...and in the other section, was a picture of me and Edward on the beach, kissing in our swimsuits very intimately. The headline said "Edward Cullen soon to be single, ladies!" there was also a picture of a younger looking version of Edward.

'As you know, in issue 188, we showed you a picture of Emmett Cullen's younger now 16 year old brother, Edward Cullen, last year. And left, is an exculsive picture of topless Edward on the beach with his supposed girlfriend, English townee, Bella Swan. Don't be worried though, the relationship is said to be 'on the rocks' A source tells us "Bella and Edward met on the Turkish hotel" location withheld. So don't expect this holiday fling to last very long! With Edward in America and her in England, will she move to be closer to him? I doubt it!' I threw it back at Rose lightly, scoffing. Edward frowned, I wasn't sure because he hadn't finished reading it, or about the column.

"A Source? Really?" Emmett shook his head.

"Don't worry about these sources- nor the magazines- at least they didn't say something offensive or negative- they can sometimes suck. Do you remember, Rosie, when they published that one on how you were pregnant with that dick's baby? Hahahaa. Oh yeah Bella, at least it was a good photo, you look hot in that bikini-Ow!" Rose slapped Em on the back of his head. I blushed, looking down. Being so close to the while group these past week and a bit, I forgot about Emmett's status. Being away from the media seemed to make me understand Emmett more, rather than read a bunch of lies. It felt odd for a celebrity to compliment me, even though he has said much to me before.

"Hey! What has the Prego story got to do with a bad photo? Are you saying I LOOKED PREGNANT?" Rose looked at him threateningly "think before you speak."

"It came out wrong! I swear!" Em said. We all laughed, and I quickly forgot about the column.

As we headed for the bar after the delicious meal, we told Em what we wanted. I ordered a girly cocktail, as it wouldn't be filled with tons of alcohol. I didn't want a repeat of the first night. As i got into the partying mood, me and Edward got into our routine again. I knew I could do it, so I took a leap.

"Back to your room?" Edward looked a bit shocked as to what I was saying. I nodded. It felt right, and I was ready. I was scared, as any other teenager who was in love, having sex for the first time, but once the wost was over, i knew it would get better. And I knew what I was doing. No alcohol needed to feel what I felt right now. I only wanted the alcohol for the pain. I was completely afraid of the 'rumours' that says what your first time is.

"Okay then, love" He grabbed my hand as we walked back to the hotel, squeezing it in encouragement and support.

N'awwh! how sweet are they? xD
