Okay everyone sorry it has taken me so long to update, but I have had a serious case of writers block. Chapter 6 should be up soon and not long after that chapter 7 shall follow, I hope…

Charlie's lips were soft yet firm and tasted faintly of chocolate, my hand moved of their own accord to bury in his soft hair. Charlie's arms wrapped round my waist, his lips tasted amazing and I had never felt this kind of passion with Edward before. Edward!
Putting my hands on his shoulders I pushed Charlie back. He looked shocked, "Why did you do that?" I whispered. Charlie opened his mouth as if to say something but he shut it a moment later and shook his head. "I'm engaged, Charlie! I'm engaged." The last part came out as a whisper.
"Why is this always about you Bella?" Charlie said exclaimed.
"What? What do you mean always about me?" I hurled back.
"Ever since what happened in fourth year-"
"Don't you dare speak about that!" I shouted.
"You don't even ask me about how I feel about this anymore! It is driving me insane! What am I to you? I am not just some puppet you can string along and play with when you feel like it Bella!" Charlie voice rose in anger as he answered.
"I know that Charlie!" I screamed back.
"Do you really Bella? To you it's about what will happen when your fiancée finds out, don't care about how I feel or how this will affect our friendship, how it will bring it crashing to a new low after that night-" Charlie's rant was cut short for I had grabbed his collar and mashed my lips to his. Realisation hit me hard as I kissed Charlie a second time; I was in love with him.
I pulled back and whispered, "I love you Charlie. But you and I both know that this cannot work out. The Cullen's will flip there lid and I could do nothing to stop them from killing you."
"I love you to Bella." Charlie whispered back. "We could find some way to make this work. We could run away, go back home. They would never find us."
"I can't Charlie," I murmured as tears gathered in my eyes, "I love you I really do but I love Edward as well. I couldn't just leave him after I agreed to marry him." Charlie wiped away the tears that I hadn't realised fell and gave me a gentle peck on the lips before taking my hand and pulling me back toward the house.
Some point during our walk we had let go of each other's hands as we walked in silence. We arrived back at the house in time to hear Carlisle say to Edward that they needed to be careful; Edward had almost given away their secret. Obviously no one had noticed they were back, so before Carlisle could say more on the subject I opened the door and shouted out cheerfully "We're back!"
"Hi love." Said Edward. I pressed a kiss to his lips and grinned at him, faking how I feel was so much easier than acting how I really felt at this moment in time. I was confused between my feelings for Edward and Charlie. I was angry at Charlie for putting me in this situation. I was angry at myself for us in this situation.
"Hey Edward." I grinned back.
"Love, the Denali's are coming over for the week, they should be here in a couple of minutes." Said Edward quietly.
"Okay. It will be nice to finally meet some of your friends." Edward smiled a dazzling smile, clearly pleased at my reaction.
"Right. Well um… I'm going to go get my stuff, I need to be getting to the hotel and checking in." said Charlie awkwardly, rubbing the back of his neck.
"Oh no, dear. You don't need to do that." Esme's soft voice answered.
"I don't want t-to intrude, and as Bella said, you have friend's coming round." Charlie stuttered out. He quickly spun on his heal and raced upstairs; packing the few things he had removed his back in his 2 day stay at the Cullen's. Within minutes Charlie was back downstairs, "Thank you so much for your hospitality. It was a pleasure to meet you Edward. And the rest of you." Said Charlie holding his hand out for a handshake, Edward obliged with a slightly too firm grip. He shook hands with Carlisle, Jasper and Emmett and kissed the hands of Rosalie, Alice and Esme. He quickly kissed my cheek before heading out the door.
I raised an eyebrow at Charlie's peculiar behaviour but then thought back to our kiss and chalked it up that he didn't want Edward and his family to find out.
"Right gentleman he is." Smirked Rosalie.
"I know. A man rarely ever kisses a woman's hand these days, let alone someone so young." Esme added.
"Charlie was raised like that. Him and his brother's even Ron who is 14, are old fashioned gentleman when greeting a woman." I countered. Charlie was always such a gentleman and would always be, I though back to our kiss, and he was so gentle never taking it further than I wanted. I blushed as I thought of it.
"I thought Ron was 12?" Questioned Edward.
I blinked, crap; Charlie had told them a lie, "That's what I said." Edward and the family looked confused but let it go. There was a knock at the door, and Alice danced over to the door.
"Hi!" she squealed. Ah. So the Denali's were here. Alice lead in 5 gorgeous vampires, the one who had a slight strawberry blonde tint to her hair rushed forward and hugged Edward, I felt myself frown slightly but quickly plastered a smile on my face when I realised.
"Hi Tanya." Said Edward when the pulled back from the hug eyeing her slightly longingly, my eyes narrowed but I decided not to think on still reeling from my kiss with Charlie.
A woman with blonde hair as straight as corn silk hugged him next, "Hello Kate." Said Edward dreamily. I scowled but forced another smile onto my face, think about Charlie my conscience supplied and I my smile became less forced and more genuine.
The next blonde rushed forward and hugged him, "Hello Irina." the female pulled back and grinned. A black haired woman stepped up next and kissed his cheek. "Carmen. Eleazar." He kissed that dark haired woman's cheek and nodded to the dark haired man behind the Carmen. "Everyone I would like to introduce you to my fiancée Bella."
