Chapter 20 - Aloha

Edward POV

Super Bowl weekend is the bane of my existence. Don't get me wrong, I love my brother, and I am actually glad he is done with football, but really, do I have to go? I heard the arrival of Emmett from the airport. My parents were excited to have him home. Esme was downright giddy. I was in the kitchen when I heard Esme walk upstairs and I could hear her muffled voice. Emmett must be staying here I guess. I then heard Carlisle in other room talking. Hmmm, is there someone else here too? I sat my plate down and walked in the foyer to find my dad and Emmett talking.

I had just barely got the words 'Hello Emmett' out of my mouth when a little brunette woman came crashing down the stairs and barreling into Emmett. I didn't hear word of their exchange. I couldn't keep my eyes off of Bella. She was here! She was here and from the look on her face, instantly recognized who I was. Shit, Shit, Shit. And I broke. I tried desperately to keep the laughter at bay but a little chuckled escaped from me in this awkward situation. All heads snapped to me.

"Oh hello you must be Edward, I'm Bella. Nice to meet you finally." She spoke to me. I could see the determination in her eyes to figure out why I might have been at her work. For the time being though, it looked like it would be out little secret. God damn she has beautiful eyes. I am so fucked.

"Oh…um…yeah…hi…nice to meet you too." Fuck. I'm stuttering now? Emmett glanced around the room and asked us to join him in the living room. I took a seat on the couch and so did my parents while Emmett and Bella remained standing. Oh hell, here we go. They are either pregnant or engaged. Shit. I listened as Emmett went through his announcement and sure enough…engaged. I felt my mouth drop open as I thought of everything James and I had talked about. Son of a bitch, Emmett actually looks fucking happy. I glanced at my mom and saw the tears of joy streaming down her face. I heard a 'congratulations' slip from Carlisle's mouth. I ran my hand through my hair in frustration. Fuck! Could I actually go through with this? Could I actually steal the happiness of not only Emmett and Bella but my mother and father too, for my own selfish reasoning? Fuck me. What the hell did I do? I shook my head in frustration and quickly got up to give Emmett a quick hug and handshake offering my own congratulations. I quickly distracted myself by asking Emmett about the game when Esme and Bella started examining her ring and talking about the engagement. Shoot me.

My mom asked Carlisle to follow her and I followed too. I wanted to know what was up with Carlisle and why he seemed so distant. Maybe he didn't approve of their union wholly like Esme did? We entered into the kitchen and I followed them through it and into the laundry room in the back. Esme shut the door quietly behind us and rounded on Carlisle.

"WHAT is your problem?" She screamed at him in hushed tones.

"It's just…I…" I haven't heard him stutter in ages. Seems to be the trend today.

"I what? Your son has found a good girl and is happy. What is the problem with that?" She huffed and crossed her arms. Esme mad is not a person you want to contend with. I leaned against the washer and waited for his answer.

"It's just that they have been together such a short time and he is making huge life altering plans around her. What if she isn't as good as he thinks? What if she is ensnaring him into a marriage for his money? They met what, six months ago, and now they are already engaged. I looked her up. She has hardly any money to speak of, she works at the hotel he stayed at and lives with a roommate. I am just afraid for him, is it such a big deal?"

"YOU DID WHAT?" Esme screamed at him. I guess I wasn't the only Cullen to go and find out about her, but I'll be damned if they know that.

"Mom…" I interrupted cautiously. "Although I can agree that what dad did was wrong…" I made a pointed glance at him, "You have to admit he was just trying to protect Emmett's best interests."

"Yes, yes, your right." She admitted in defeat. "But I really like her and they seemed to be extremely happy Carlisle, you have to be nicer to her. Innocent until proven guilty, right? Let Emmett make his own mistakes. But I want the record to show that I think that she is perfect for him." She turned and stomped out of the laundry room leaving just me and Carlisle behind.

"What do you think of this Edward?" Carlisle voice drifted next to me in a defeated tone. What did I think of this? It kind of put a cramp in my plans with James. But really, who was more important – James? Or my family's happiness?

"I think…." I hesitated. Fuck. "…I think he actually looked happy and if Bella is what makes him happy…well then….so be it. I don't think she is as bad as we all thought she might be. I guess only time will tell, right dad?" I slapped a hand on his shoulder and motioned towards the door. "No worries dad. Let's go get ready for the game. Maybe you can learn a little more about Bella from the friends Emmett mentioned would be there."

Not long later we were all up in the box seats awaiting the kick off. I tried to keep my thoughts as innocent and as pure as possible, but with Bella dressed the way she was…damn it was tough, even if it was my brother's jersey. She looked sexy as hell in it. I got a chance to meet all of her friends. Her friend from the hotel, Alice, gave me a weird look on introduction but immediately danced off to discuss wedding details with my mother. Rose and Tanya cracked me up. I thought Rose would be a more suited companion for my brother – if she wasn't gay. I met Jasper last and instantly felt quite comfortable around him. He was rather laid back and seemed kind of like the big brother type with Bella.

I talked with Jasper and my father off and on as I observed Bella. She looked so happy and at ease around everyone. I could tell how much her friends loved her and gravitated towards her and how happy everyone was. Fuck me I couldn't do this. I walked over to Bella and sat down next to her. "Um, hey…I just wanted to congratulate you again for your engagement to my brother. I really am happy for you two. Even though I just met you today I can tell how much you two love each other. I just want to thank you for being that 'person' for Emmett. He sure does seem really happy with you."

I continued to talk with Bella for a little while longer trying to learn more about her. I had decided right then and there that I couldn't destroy this. I couldn't take that happiness away from her or my brother. It would ruin them and my family. I may be selfish, I may have a minor crush on my soon to be sister in law, but I will not be that big of an asshole. Now, what to do with James? He knows who I am what we had planned together. He could easily devastate this family even without my help. I need to get him out of the picture without things coming to light. I sat back in my seat and watched as Emmett and the Bears won the Super Bowl. I was incredibly proud of my brother and his accomplishments and his name, pictures and Bella don't need to be spread across page six like every other celebrity out there. They deserve better. Perhaps, I can become a double agent and lead James on. Perhaps, James should get what is coming to him.

After watching a bunch of movies all afternoon Em, Edward and I went back to their apartment to start getting ahead with the packing and whatnot. Edward had found a nice one bedroom apartment not far from here and was set to move out soon. It was going to be interesting trying to get his piano into a one bedroom apartment, that's for sure.

Emmett was going to stay with me until he found a place in Seattle. I still had a sneaking suspicion that Alice was going to move in with Jasper any time now. This was okay by me. More alone time with Emmett is always a good thing.

I was currently stationed in the kitchen going through all Emmett's kitchen stuff for things we needed at home and the rest we were leaving for Edward to take. I was going through drawers of utensils like spatulas and mixing spoons when two giant arms wrapped around my waist and I felt his cool breath on my neck. Being in the kitchen with Emmett brought back great memories.

I turned in his grasp and was graced with a dimpled smirk and his sweet breath on my lips. I teased his lips with my tongue and earned a nice loud groan from Emmett. He knew exactly what I wanted but we couldn't do anything because Edward was in the next room and that would be embarrassing if he walked in on us doing something in the kitchen.

Emmett pushed me against the counter and assaulted my neck with open mouthed kisses. Then Edward chose that very moment to walk into the kitchen.

"Oh shit…uh sorry, I didn't know anyone was in here." His ears turned a shade of pink and he turned around.

"Don't worry about it Edward, I was just leaving." I replied and left Emmett agitated leaning against the counter. Believe me I felt bad but I wasn't going to let that get any further with Edward in the same vicinity. Awkward!

A few hours later we piled a bunch of Edwards's things into Emmett's huge jeep and his little silver Volvo and headed to his new apartment.

It was small but I think it would suit him well for the time being. I helped bring boxes and clothes on hangers up the three flights of stairs because the elevator was temporarily out of order.

After we finished bringing up the boxes and the small furniture that could fit in either of the two vehicles Edward popped open a few beers and offered me one, which I gladly accepted. Can't pass up a beer. Edward was going to have to hire a moving company for the bigger pieces of furniture like his piano and the elegant mahogany bed set.

We conversed for a little while and then decided it was getting late and Emmett was getting hungry so we stopped by the local Mexican food restaurant and ordered take out. I was too exhausted to actually make a good home cooked meal tonight. Emmett ordered enough food to feed an entire family of five and I was just content with my chicken enchiladas rice and refried beans. I also ordered some food for Edward for when he got back. He was going to spend a little extra time at his new apartment setting things in their rightful places. I hear he was quite anal retentive about things like that.

Once back at the apartment Emmett basically inhaled his food. I'm surprised he didn't choke with the way he was eating. Shoveling food in, chewing, shoving more food in his mouth and then swallowing. I took my time eating because it wasn't the end of the world and I wasn't all that hungry to begin with. Watching him eat kind of made me lose my appetite but I can't help but love the big oaf so I powered on until there was very little left on my plate.

I took the dished to the sink and Emmett followed behind me with what little leftovers he had. He then came up behind me and whispered, "Want to finish what we started earlier?"

I turned around and basically jumped on him wrapping my legs around his waist and locking my ankles securely around his back then pulled him into a heart-stopping kiss, taking his bottom lip between mine. I felt his tongue on my lip begging for entrance and I complied of course. He then broke the kiss and travelled down my jaw towards my neck and that special place right behind the ear. Licking, sucking, and biting. It was amazing. I couldn't talk it anymore so I snaked my hand between the two of us and down into his pants seeking out what I really wanted, and boy was he excited.

He growled into my neck and bit down harder than expected releasing a whine from me. He didn't waste any more time. He sat me on the countertop and practically ripped my shirt off. Then he palmed my breasts through my silky blue bra. He then unclasped it and threw it across the kitchen. I made quick work of his shirt and soon it was lying on the floor in the accumulating pile of clothes. Next were his pants. I slowly and seductively undid his belt and the button at the top of his jeans. The zipper took little to no time at all and his pants were around his ankles. I was in yoga pants and going commando so you can just imagine how long it took to strip be bare.

Emmett moaned my name and captured my mouth in a breathtaking kiss again, raking his fingers through my hair. I was getting impatient so I tugged down his boxers and took his length into my hand and pumped a few times.

"Oh Bella, do you have any idea what you are doing to me right now?"

"I have a pretty good idea now please stop talking and start working your magic...please, I need you… Now!" I replied with little to no more patience.

He then brought his fingers to my slit and prodded a little bit before plunging two fingers into to my hot wet heat. "Ugh Em that feels so damn good."

He was licking at my nipple with he looked up through his lashes at me and that spurred me on more. I started bucking into his hand and he started his ministrations on my clit. It wasn't long before he had me screaming his name in a fit of ecstasy.

After the first waves of my orgasm passed I felt the head of his penis at my entrance waiting for the okay. " Emmett what are you waiting for, fuck me..please?"

"Oh babe I love it when you talk dirty to me." Without further ado he slid into me, sheathing me to the hilt. He stilled for a moment before picking up the pace. I threw my leg over his shoulder earning a new angle and therefore new pleasure. To each of his thrusts I bucked up my hips. His hands were roaming my body, pinching my nipples, massaging circles in my hips, in my hair.

I started to feel my muscles tighten and could tell he wasn't going to last much longer so I asked him to pick up the pace while I rubbed at my clit. We were both watching as our bodies were colliding with each other. They my walls clamped around his cock and we both let out cried of the others names. I leaned forward riding out my orgasm while trying to catch my breath. Emmett was kissing my hair and whisper sweet nothings.

"Emmett that was amazing. Thank you."

"No problem sweetheart. Anything for you. Gives a new meaning to the term "kitchen activities" doesn't it. That was hot, but we should probably get dressed before Edward walks in finding us in this state of…well you know."

"Yeah you're probably right, let's go big boy." By the time I was redressed and getting ready to head to the bedroom we heard the door open. God what great timing. At least he didn't catch us in the act. That would have been super embarrassing.

"Hey guys, miss me?" Edward said with a smirk.

What did I have crazy sex hair or something? Oh crap probably seeing as how his brother just fondled me in the kitchen.

"Um hey Edward, we were just going to bed, see you in the morning?"

"Yeah no problem, goodnight you two."

"Night." We said in unison.

While we were getting into bed Emmett spoke, "I'm going to ask Edward to be my best man and Jasper and Ben too be groomsmen. How about you?"

"Oh um well Alice of course is my lovely maid of honor and Rose and Angela will be my bride's maids."

"What about Tanya?" he laughed.

"Ha! It might be a little difficult getting her into a dress don't you think?" He just laughed as I rolled into his side and finally drifted off to sleep.

A few days passed by and Edward was all moved into his new apartment and Emmett was having all his things shipped to Seattle. We were now arriving in Seattle and I couldn't wait to see all my friends again.

Alice had called me everyday keeping me up to date on all the happenings at the hotel. She said that James was scarce at the hotel lately. Always out and about doing god knows what and was always talking with a tall dark skinned man who always seemed to have a camera attached to his hand.

Once we got back to my apartment there was a note on the kitchen counter. Ooh kitchen counter. Emmett. Emmett fucking me senseless on the kitchen counter. My mind was running rampant with all these dirty thoughts I totally forgot about the note sitting there. I finally snapped out of it and read what it said.

Hey Bella,

We have a surprise for you, but you have to wait until Valentine's Day to see what it is. In this envelope are two tickets to Kauai, Hawaii and we have two tickets also. Yes we are going to Hawaii but that's not the best part. See you in a few days, me and Jazz are setting things up. Talk soon.

Alice and Jasper

P.S. Don't ask questions cuz we aren't telling…yet.

What the fuck? Kauai? Surprise? Valentine's Day? Holy shit I totally forgot about Valentine's Day! What am I going to get Emmett? I've never celebrated that day before. Now I have someone to share it with and I am totally clueless. Where is my best friend when you need her?

Emmett took the note from my shaky hands and read it, looking just as puzzled as I'm sure I looked. "What the…why the...Alice is an odd bird." He said quietly.

We decided to put it on the back burner until the day we left for Kauai which was the day before the 14th. Emmett had a lot to do with the new gym, like painting, carpeting adding things and removing things that he didn't need. It was going to take some time but I think it will be a success in the end.

I was busy with wedding plans and working at the hotel. Alice would email me her thoughts on certain things for the wedding, and so would Esme. They were a gift from God because I had no idea how to plan and organize anything.

A few days before taking off to Hawaii I got a voicemail from Alice saying not to worry about a present for Emmett because she had an idea. So I decided to go with my gut feeling and trust her. I was packing for our little getaway when Emmett walked in.

"Hey babe, are you as excited and nervous as I am about this whole Kauai thing? I wonder what they have up their sleeves this time." He said.

"You're telling me I am basically chomping at the bit to find out what the little pixie is up to."

"Guess we will find out soon."

"Yeah well you have anything you want me to pack especially for you?"

"Um…yeah that sexy lingerie you wore in Yosemite. That was fucking hot!"

"Haha okay anything else?" I let out a little chuckle. Of course he would bring up something to do with lingerie. Men.

"Nope I am good if you just wore that the whole time." He got a wicked smirk on his face at that thought.

"Not happening so let it go."

"Aww man…a man can dream though." He retorted.

We were now on a plane flying to Kauai for a few days and totally clueless as to why we were going there in the first place. Alice texted me saying she would meet us at the airport and take us to our hotel room.

I had a feeling I was going to flip out with whatever she was going to tell us later. After the eight hour flight over open water, my nerves were a little racked. I couldn't wait to be on dry land once again. We stopped at baggage claim and got our suitcases and then made our way towards the little café where Alice and Jasper said they would meet us.

When I spotted them they looked so in love and enamored with each other. Alice saw us and came flying at me full speed and wrapped her tiny arms around my waist.

"Bella, I'm so glad you are here, you too Emmett, now follow us. We will tell you everything once you get settled into your room." She chirped.

"Okay Allie, whatever you say." We followed her to what I am assuming was their rental car and drove towards the outer edge of the island.

We arrived at the Waimea Plantation Cottages. I got out of the car and did a complete 360. This place was beautiful. Wonderful. So magical. There were a bunch of little cottages all over and it all faced the clear blue ocean.

"Alright Alice what the fuck is going on. This place looks like Heaven and you look like you are about to explode. Just tell us already."

She just shook her head and pointed to one of the cottages. "This is where you'll be staying for the remained of your trip. Jasper and I paid so no ifs, ands or buts about it. This is our treat to you. Consider it an engagement present of sorts." Alice replied.

"Argh whatever Alice lets go I want to know what you are plotting." I said with a hint of annoyance.

"Welcome to your humble abode." Alice chimed. This place had everything. If I could live here I totally would. I can't even tell you how beautiful this place was inside and out. They had to be paying tooth and freaking nail for this place and theirs on top of it. I don't even want to think about it.

"Okay now to get down to business. Me and Jazz asked you here because…we are eloping and we wanted you two to be the witnesses." I think my law practically unhinged itself and fell to the floor.

"What...I…huh?" Was all I could squeak out at the time.

Emmett just looked intrigued.

"But Alice I thought you wanted to big fancy wedding and a million people to be at your wedding. Why are you so eager to do it now?" I asked.

"Bella, I realized that I don't need all those things to marry the man I love. All I need is my best friend and Jazz and I am happy. I hope you will be the witness for me. We already have everything set up and we are getting married here tomorrow at noon. We already have the marriage license and a pastor and whatnot. When we get back we can have a reception with all our friends and family, but right now I am doing what I want and that is marrying Jasper Whitlock." She was talking too hurriedly she had to stop and take a few breaths before starting again.

"Now me and you are going shopping for the perfect dress and we will let the men do whatever it is they do after news like this."

I just stood there with my mouth hanging open and nodding my head in agreement. I grabbed my purse and followed Alice out the door. We didn't talk much until we got to the stores. I ended up getting a knee length dress with hibiscus flowers printed on it in blue and purples. Alice got a cute little white summer dress with little blue flowers sewed on the front at the bust. It was beautiful for a little wedding.

Once we paid for our things she dragged me to another little shop so I could get Emmett a Valentine's Day gift. I decided I would get him a few cool looking tiki masks that he can decorate either the gym or the apartment with. We both seemed to be into art so I thought it was nice. I got five different tikis with different facial expressions and stances. He would totally get a kick out of these.

Once we were finished shopping we returned back to the cottage to relax for the rest of the day with cocktail over by the beach. We talked and laughed and congratulated each other until it was time for bed. Tomorrow was a big day for Alice and Jasper. They needed all the sleep they could get.

I woke up at the crack of dawn and start fluttering around like Alice on a normal basis. I was so excited that I forgot to shave my other leg. I had to get back in the shower once Emmett pointed it out. Damn I think Alice is rubbing off on me. I helped Alice get ready and dubbed Emmett official picture taker.

Once everything was in order it was time for Alice to take the plunge into marriage. I was so extremely excited for her I even had tears of happiness streaming down my face. Thank god for waterproof mascara. Alice was beaming and Jasper looked like he was on cloud nine, while Emmett was snapping picture after picture. The pastor did his part and they spoke their own vows to each other which made me cry even more. This moment was the most romantic thing I have ever seen. They exchanged rings and next thing I know the pastor is saying "I now pronounce you husband and wife, you may kiss the bride." Emmett let out a loud whistle and I was clapping and cheering like there was no tomorrow.

Later we all signed the marriage license and went out to dinner and a luau. Which was quite entertaining. The fire throwers were very cool, and the hula girls were very talented to say the least. We were all saving our gifts and whatnot for when we got back to the cottage.

Once we got back to the cottage we went our separate ways, congratulating Alice and Jasper one more time before retiring for the night.

I got out my present(s) for Emmett and he turned around with a medium sized box. He said I should open mine first. It was a hand carved jewelry box with dolphins and sea turtles. He laughed when he opened mine and then grinned. I could tell he was contemplating on if he should keep them at home or at the gym. He opted for a few in both places.

I was getting more tired by the minute and went to get dressed in some pajamas. We took no time at all to fall asleep to the crickets chirping outside our window and the waves rolling in.

The rest of the trip was very romantic, we toured the island going to the Kilauea Lighthouse, kayaking down the Wailua River and even checking out Waimea Canyon but it was Alice and Jasper's little getaway so we cut our trip short so they could have some alone time. I told Alice I would see her when she got back and we would work out living arrangements then. Didn't I say I knew she was going to be moving out soon, just didn't think that a wedding ring was going to be on her finger so soon.

Oh well shows what I know.

A/N: So what did ya think…did we shock the hell out of you or what...hehe…and some more into the mysterious mind of Edward…Follow us both on Twitter and also the links to the cottages will be on our profiles shortly.

Thanks and we love you all,
