Ok, finally. Here is my update I hope you've been enjoying it so far. And I don't own anything. It was all Stephenie Meyer.

Hiding in plain site.

If all you ever wanted was in front of you, could you recognize it?

Edward's POV

I drove back to my apartment after the party had descended. Tanya had tried to get

me to stay. Her intentions were clear. I didn't feel like it tonight though. I just wanted to get home and take a long, hot shower. I sped up.

The cell phone went off. I slowed down to check it. Great, a text from Alice. I scanned it quickly, and then spun my Volvo around, speeding back to my parent's house.

I pulled up to the house and quickly jumped out of my car. As I walked up to the door I ran my fingers through my hair in an attempt tame it back to its usual untidy mess. Just as I reached the door it swung open. Alice was there to meet me. She looked like a seriously pissed off goth Tinker bell. It would have been vastly amusing if I didn't know her so well.

"Edward!" she growled at me fiercely as she dragged me inside the house. "I don't know what has come over you, but you need to stay away from my friend."

I couldn't help the smile that broke over my face. "Ah, you must be referring to Bella." God, she was gorgeous.

"Stop with the smirking, Edward! She's not the one for you," She ground out fiercely, her small hands clenched at her hips.

I snorted, "And who are you to decide if someone is for me or not? There is a certain – attraction, if you will, and I believe the feeling is somewhat reciprocated."

Alice frowned up at me. "I'm your sister, Edward, and I know how your are with women. Bella is my friend, and she just doesn't need that from you." She took a breath before continuing. "She hasn't been – I think she's only been in one relationship, and that did not turn out so well, I don't want to see her hurt again – especially not by you. Just don't talk to her, okay? "

"What in the world gave you the idea that I would hurt her?" Good God, I didn't know whether to laugh or be pissed. "Nothing happened, Alice, you're acting like I stole her virtue. We only danced." Though I must admit my interest was piqued. I had not seen my sister so protective of anyone else prior to this.

She furiously stamped her foot "I'm not saying you would do it intentionally, Edward. You would sweep her off her feet, and then when she's no longer your shiny new toy you would destroy her piece by piece. Don't bother denying it, your track record speaks for itself, that's just the way you roll, right Slutward?"

I stared in disbelief at my sister. Ouch. "So that's what you think of me?"

Sure, I've been called that, and worse, but hearing it from my own sister was somewhat more painful than I had expected.

She looked at me sadly. "Like I said, that's just the way you roll."

Alice's POV

I watched as Edward turned to leave. I didn't like confronting him over my friend, but I knew it had to be done. I had to protect Bella, she was like a sister to me, and though I did love Edward, I knew what kind of person he was. He was beautiful, intelligent, and so selfish, almost to the point of cruelty. I wish so much that he would change, but there was a piece of his soul that was locked away that didn't allow him to see beyond himself.

As for Bella, well she was a giver, and she would give everything until there was nothing left, and Edward would take everything she had to give without a second thought.

I couldn't save the world, but maybe I could save my friend.

Edward's POV

I ran my fingers through her long brown hair as she wrapped her arms around my neck. Her small pink tongue darted out and licked at my ear, resulting in a jolt of electricity that streaked through me. I bent down to capture her soft, full lips with mine, my tongue slipping into her sweet warm mouth while I pressed her tightly against my hard body. God, she was delicious.

She moaned softly into my mouth, tracing the muscles on my chest with her delicate hands. They fluttered like butterfly wings against my jeans, clumsily undoing the buttons and pushing them down. She tore her lips away from mine and began raining kisses down my body until she reached the top of my boxers. My breath caught in my throat as her hands slipped underneath the band, touching the tip of my –

A loud buzzing jolted me out of bed. "Fuck," I hissed at the alarm clock, smacking it hard enough to cause it to skitter across the nightstand. What the hell, I haven't had a dream like that since I was a horny 17 year old. I rubbed the sleep from my eyes and made a cup of coffee. I quickly went over the events of last night, the boring party, dancing with the lovely Bella. Then the talk with my overprotective sister. I snorted into my cup. She's never cared whom I slept with before, so why Bella should be such an issue, I had no idea. She was treating me like a child trying to steal treats from a cookie jar. No, this simply would not do. I glanced at the cell phone and smirked. Alice said not to talk to her – but nothing about texting. I snickered as I picked up the phone.

Well isn't he a sneaky bastard. LOL. Feel free to review, they make me happy:D
