AN: I know I keep saying this but thank you all so much for your lovely reviews. We hit a record high for the last chapter and we are approaching the 100 mark. I'd love to get there with this update:)

I hope this chapter gives you some answers. It's the longest chapter yet (by a long way) so lets see who was close in their predictions

Over to Edward...

EPOV

"Ed I really think you should slow down buddy," Jasper warns me for the tenth time this evening.

I don't understand his concern. Sure I have had a few but I'm not as drunk as he seems to fear.

He's keeps telling me to slow down before I do or say something I will regret.

In my defence I have done nothing but speak the truth. Perhaps it wasn't the best idea to tell Jessica in no uncertain term that I would NEVER date her, but she can certainly do with being knocked down a peg or two.

My comments may have dented her ego, but it was nothing that she didn't deserve. Especially after the way she treats you. You hide it well but I've seen how her snide looks and catty remarks get to you.

She's a real piece of work. Just the idea that I'd be remotely interested in her makes my skin crawl.

Like she could ever compare to you.

She's not even close.

You're on a different level completely. You're out of my league that's for sure.

All night I've tried to get you alone, but every time you are within reach the words wont come out. Just having you nearby unsettles me and has me stumbling over my words like a drunken idiot.

I'm sure you've noticed.

"Edward Cullen what are you doing?" a demanding voice startles me. I don't need to turn around to know who is awaiting me.

"What are you doing here, Alice?" I say smiling as I turn to face my Sister.

"Jasper called you didn't he?" I accuse. I should have known he was up to something when I saw him making a sly phone call an hour ago.

"He's worried about you." She justified.

"Alice, I'm fine. Please go and find your Husband. There's someone I really need to see."

I realised my mistake the moment the words were out of my mouth when Alice focussed those knowing eyes on me.

"It's a girl isn't it?" She exclaimed, practically jumping on the spot like an overexcited kid at Christmas.

Damn Jasper and his inability to keep anything from his Wife. I should have known better than to tell him about my feelings for Bella earlier his evening.

"What has Jasper told you?" I asked, preparing myself for Alice's barrage of questions.

"Nothing that your goofy little smile didn't already tell me. Is she here tonight?"

I didn't get a chance to respond before Alice excitedly declared, "She is isn't she? That's why you're acting so weird."

"Alice, I," I tried to speak but she interrupted me again.

"Don't you Alice me," she said sternly. "You know you wont impress her if you're too drunk to string a sentence together. Clearly you like the girl, so go get her."

For all her pushiness and excited nature, Alice was my biggest supporter. She always gave me the shove I needed to do what had to be done.

"Thanks Alice," I exclaimed and pulled her into a hug.

I couldn't keep the ridiculous smile off my face when I pulled away from Alice and declared, "I'm going to find Bella."

AN: Not sure this counts as a drabble but I thought you'd appreciate the longer chapter.
