I am so sorry that I haven't updated sooner. School just ended for the summer and it was really busy. We had a lot of work. I am going to try to update more often now though. I am not going to make any promises that I can't kep though. I do promise though that I will update atleast once a week.
I hope you enjoy. The next chapter should be interesting. This is kinda a filler. I am planning fo rthere only to be four to six more chapters at the most. This story isn't going to be too long.
I need more reviews. I am not getting as many as before so please, I am begging here!

The girls had me dressed up and where taking me out. Great. The only problem with that equation was that I hated going out and Alice knows that. We all piled into Esme's BMW and left the house. I begged Alice the whole time to just tell me where we were headed but, she wouldn't let anything slip. She didn't let anybody else talk either. I guess she thought they would tell. Damn, I hate this pixie.
We arrived in Seattle in half the time it should take any normal or for that matter sane person to make the trek. I was always a little taken aback by the city. It was close to the water but, still full of life. We drove around a little bit until we reached the Space Needle. Alice announced it was our destination. I looked at her with my mouth gaping. I had always wanted to go here.
We climbed out of the car and walked towards the Space Needle. It was breathtaking up close. I still couldn't figure out what we were doing here though. They have all seen the whole city before. This must have been for me. I wish the guys had come with.
We made our way to the elevator that took us to the top deck. We stepped out and I was greeted by the foul smell of human food.
"Um, Alice, I don't eat. You know that right?" I asked her. She laughed at me with a stupid grin on her face and pulled me forward. What I was next answered my questions. The dining room had been mostly cleared out except for a couple tables. There was a dance floor and a large buffet set up. I knew we would be avoiding that at all costs.
I was smiling when I recognized a couple of the people. They were some of Carlisle's coworkers. I had been trying to build my tolerance for human blood by visiting him at the hospital with other family members of course. I also recognized some of the people from medical journal covers that Carlisle left lying around the house.
"Bella, we are here tonight to help celebrate in honor of one of Carlisle's fellow surgeon's. He is receiving a very prestigious award. Carlisle suggested we attend. The guys will be here shortly," explained Esme. She smiled at me and Alice had a giddy smile on her face. Rosalie looked fairly entertained as well.
"So all of you guys have dates and I am stuck here along, fun!" I over exaggerated the last word. In return I got a glare from Alice.
"There are plenty of hot, single doctors here. You look gorgeous so just try talking to them. They will be drooling over you in no time," said Rosalie. I guessed she was trying to make me feel better. It didn't work. There was only one doctor I wanted and he was taken.
We stood off to the side for another ten minutes when the elevator opened for the millionth time. The only difference was this time it held three inhumanly beautiful gods. The guys had arrived. Jasper and Emmett stood in front next to each other and Carlisle followed behind them in the middle. The formation reminded me of a celebrity being escorted. From every females reaction in the place I guessed they could have been Hollywood actors. They all were on the verge on drooling.
The three Cullen men walked over to us and they all reached for their respected partners. I felt a pang of jealousy when Esme and Carlisle embraced. To make things worse, they kissed. I saw Carlisle smile at me from Esme's side and I returned it halfheartedly. His eyes reflected the hurt I know he felt for a fraction of a second. He plastered a smile on his face that didn't reach his eyes.
The whole family, me included, moved closer to the dance floor. We said a few Hi's and How Are You's. Alice got anxious to dance and pulled me and Rosalie out to the dance floor. Esme stayed behind at Carlisle's side.
I heard the song and smiled. They were playing decent music. It was Take Me on the Floor by The Veronicas. I sneaked a quick look at Carlisle and he was smiling at me. I hoped he got the message.
Alice and Rosalie dragged me to the center and we danced. The guys were on the edge of the dance floor and Jasper looked like he was getting uncomfortable.
We moved closer together. I was in the middle with Alice in front of me and Rose behind me. We started grinding and I could see both male vampires slowly inch closer to us. Jasper looked very uncomfortable and I guess he could feel the lust surrounding the dancing bodies.
We continued to dance through two more songs. When the current song changed to Boom Boom Pow by The Black Eyed Peas we pulled ourselves off the floor and joined the men and Esme at a large table. There was another couple at the table who introduced themselves as Dr. John Brown and Mrs. Katherine Brown. They were friends of Carlisle's.
We sat at the table until the buffet was opened. At that time the seven of us slipped out on the O deck. The view was amazing! I had never seen Seattle from this angle. I could see Puget Sound, Mt. Rainer, and Safeco Field form up here.
I turned to my pixie sister and smiled. She wrapped her tiny arms around me in a hug and I did the same. I smiled at Carlisle over Alice's shoulder.
She released me and I smiled at my whole family.
"You guys are amazing," I exclaimed. My voice must have been ecstatic because everyone's face lit up with smiles.
"Remember you aren't the only reason we are up here tonight," reminded Carlisle. I giggled.
"So are you saying that if there wasn't this award presentation we wouldn't be here right now?" I questioned him.
"I'm not the right person to be asking that question, Bella," she chuckled. We all turned to Alice and she through a quick glare Carlisle's way then turned to me.
"You would be here no matter what and you know that!" she laughed at me.
"Yeah probably," I giggled. The whole family laughed.
"So how long until they are done eating and it's safe to go back inside?" asked Jasper.
"Scared of human food Jazz?" taunted Emmett.
"Be nice, Em," reminded Esme.
"To answer your question, we have about forty-five minutes to take in this view. Then they will do the presentation. After that is done there will be more dancing," concluded the psychic pixie.
We all thanked her for the information and turned to look at the beautiful view. I was mesmerized by the scene spread out before me.
I was so engrossed that I didn't hear the heel clicks that should have alerted me to the presence of another entity.
"Beautiful, isn't it?" she asked.
"Yeah, thank you so much for taking us here tonight," I said. She put her hands on the bar in front of us and I did the same.
"You're welcome. Now we have to talk about something," she whispered. I suspected she didn't want the others to hear.
"I know Alice." I turned to face my sister and took in a deep breath. It didn't bring any bodily relief but, it had become a habit.
"So he I know he told you most of the conversation but, I want to tell you why. Just so you know this will be short and nobody will know," she said trying to soothe my nerves. It didn't help. I don't even think jasper had even power to calm me at that moment.
"The reason I have chosen not to help you two is I don't want to be part of something that could tear our family apart. I know that is not your intention but you must know that it could happen. I love you both dearly and I hope you know I am not abandoning you. I just don't approve of what you two are doing," she paused then continued again, "On that note, if you want to hook up with each other, try to do it without planning. It causes less mental pain that way. I really don't need to see the two of you naked I his bed. Really. I am sorry about this. I hope you forgive me as I forgive you two. I know love sucks. It is tricky. Just promise if and when you tell Esme you will do it gently."
I nodded my head because my mind couldn't form coherent sentences. I was sad at what she had just said but, glad to hear it from her. She hugged me again.
She let me go and I stepped back. She smiled at me.
"This conversation never happened," she said and winked at me. She turned and glided back to her husband. The family was gathering again. I joined them. We were standing in a circle. The couples were together and I stood be myself. I stood across from my secret lover.
We quietly conversed over random topics like baseball and our next hunting trip. I had been hunting more recently than the others and thus didn't need a trip. They settled on the next Monday. Today was Saturday night. Carlisle said he had a shift at the hospital and ha to stay behind. I didn't know if this was true or not. I would find out.
Another twenty minutes passed and Alice decided it was safe for us to go back inside. We had five minutes before the presentation. We took our seats at our original table claiming we had eaten a late lunch and were not hungry.
The rest of the night went on without event and we left Seattle at around midnight. We took the same cars home.
I went up to my room upon arrival and picked up my book and started to read. I didn't hear the footsteps climbing the set of stairs up to my room. I was the only one on this floor.
Was it decent?
