A/N: Hello! *waves * another update here for you, once again from the point of view of a younger Bella. Enjoy!

To say that I was nervous when Alice invited me over to her house for a sleep over would be an understatement. Knowing that Edward would also be there only solidified the nerves. What would he do this time? Would he even acknowledge me? Talk to me? Look in my direction? And in typical Bella style, I was overanalyzing everything.

"Hey Bella, you free this weekend?"

I rolled my eyes. She didn't even wait for me to respond, just went straight into what she wanted or needed for me. Typical Alice.

"Yeah I am. Why? Big plans that you need to discuss with me? Are you and Mark going out again?"

"Ew. Never again. He's a tool. I want you to come over to my house for a sleepover!"

"Alice….."

"Please? It'll be so much fun to have another girl around the house. I'm so sick of being surrounded my guys. Please Bella, please?"

I huffed.

"Fine."

I had to hold the phone away from my ear to protect my sensitive eardrums from her incessant sqealing.

"Yay! I'm so excited! We can watch movies, paint each others nails. Oh we could….."

My mind wandered as she listed a million and one things that she wanted to do together in the space of a weekend. I had to cut her off eventually, or she wouldn't stop for air.

"Hey Alice! Calm down! And what time should I come tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow? Bella, honey, you're coming over right now! I've already sent Edward on his way."

"Alice, why can't you come?"

"Because, silly, I have to set up for tonight." She giggled.

"Alice, are you trying to set me up with your brother?"

"Never!" she actually had the decency to sound shocked that I would accuse her of such a thing.

"ALICE?!"

"Fine, stop yelling. I saw you two at the party, and you looked so cute together. So yes, I may be hinting at the possibility of…."

"Let me cut you off right there. He's a senior. I'm not. He's good looking, older, is probably going to be a bad influence on me…."

"Bella let me stop you there. Just get ready. He'll be there soon".

And then she hung up on me.

Fast forward ten minutes later, and I was in Edward's car being driven to the Cullen house. It was incredibly awkward, and spent most of the drive trying to come up with something to say that wouldn't bring up what happened last weekend. As in the kiss. Between me and Edward….

"Bella? Hello? You still with me?"

"Huh?"

"We're here. Do you want some help with your bag?"

I rolled my eyes. Typical male behavior. Always wanting to help the defenseless little woman.

"No thanks. I can manage."

He shrugged and got out of the car. Not before coming over to my side to help me out.

"Thanks." I mumbled, looking down and the ground.

"No problem." He said, and ushered me into the house with his hand on the small of my back. I think I may just start hyperventilating…

"Bella!" Alice yelled, barreling down the stairs, and then proceeding to tell me her plans for the weekend a mile a minute. I was barley able to process what she had said, when she sat me in front of the vanity and started playing with my hair. And doing my makeup. For a sleepover. Where we were going to be home all night.

After she played hairdresser, we went downstairs to help me mom bake a batch of cookies, followed by a movie. Once again, it was a beyond cheese filed film. Alice seemed to love them. Me? I had a more cynical approach to life. I knew that romances that like only happened in movies and books.

Half way through the third movie, Alice fell asleep. I turned off the movie, and walked to the bathroom to brush my teeth. What I was not expecting to find was a shirtless Edward in the bathroom. I tried not to stare, honestly, but it was proving difficult. They guy looked after himself.

"See something you like there Bella?"

I tore my eyes away from his abs, to look up to his face, set in a smirk at the opportunity to catch me off guard. He wanted to play? I could throw him off just as badly.

I walked over to him, trying to copy the oh so seductive manner that the heroines in the rom coms used, and placed my hand on his chest. Causing his breathing to pick up. Perfect.

"I do"

He was clearly not expecting that. He seemed to be rendered speechless. I grew bolder, and dragged my hand lower down.

"Don't tease unless you plan to go lower down.

I stood up un my toes to whisper into his ear.

"But its so fun."

"For you maybe…"

I looked down. Wow! Had I seriously caused that… reaction in him? I continued to tease him until he snapped. He ripped my hand off him, and hoisted my up on the counter; where we then made out like, well, teenagers.

Hands were everywhere; clothing was slowly being peeled off. Sounds were ricocheting off the tiled walls. Just as thing were getting as good as I would allow them too, we heard someone making their way upstairs. He quickly handed back my top, kissed my forehead and promised me that this would be continued, before running back into his room. Leaving me alone in the bathroom, trying to catch my breath.

"Bella?" Alice called from the other side of the door. I took one big breath before opening the door.

"Are you okay? You don't look so good."

"I think I may have a bit of a fever." Not a complete lie….

"Do you want to go home?"

"No its fine. I probably just need to sleep it off."

She looked at me skeptically. I was sure that she knew that I was lying, but she didn't say anything. Just turned on her heel and walked back downstairs. I sighed and looked back at Edwards door, before joining Alice in the living room to get some sleep.

Maybe the sleepover wasn't such a bad idea after all…
