There are no songs for this. I just wanted it to stand on its own. It is along chapter but it needed all to be here. I hope you all enjoy it! I want to thank those who sent me reviews! They were awesome and made my day!

He lead me to his monster truck. Opened the door and very carefully put my bags down. He then helped me into the seat while goosing my ass. I squealed and looked at him with awe. He went around to his side and got in. We both buckled and he started the engine. We were off to surprise Bella. She was going to kill me for doing this but this was her big break and I would not miss it.

"Jasper can I ask you a question?" I smiled at him and he nodded at me while keeping his eyes on the road.

"How did this come about? I mean the business and your mom." I bit my lip and hopped I was not prying but who cared if I did? I loved him and eventually I would know all this about him.

"Mom and dad met in high school. They fell madly in love and married soon after that. My grandfather told them that he was not going to be doing this business much longer and dad took over from there. They traveled all over the world and the United States for different jobs. We don't do business just in Portland. We are everywhere there is a job that wants us. We have such a good repertoire that we don't have to bid for jobs. The clients come to us these days. Mom got tired of traveling with us three boys. She put her foot down and wanted a more permanent place to raise us. On one of the jobs it brought them here. Mom fell in love and they bought a piece of land. Mom designed the house they live in now. Dad is the head of the corporation though he is not as involved as he used to be. My parents are more into charity work now. Emmett took over the sites and crews. Edward handles the clients and money aspect of it all and I am the architect. Rosalie joined when she married Emmett. That girl is one feisty lawyer and is one bad ass bitch when she wants to be. She has a heart of gold and loves you both to death." he told me all of this as we drove towards the airport.

"Can I ask you one more question? Just how old are all of you?" I asked. It is not like we brought up age when we had the moment in his truck.

"Emmett is 28, Edward is 26 and I am 27. ." he chuckled.

We pulled into the hanger, turned the truck off and got out. He came around to my door and let me out.

"At least I wont have a problem with you corrupting me." I smiled at him as he took my hand. He grabbed my bags and set them down.

He swept me into his arms and said, " I have no problem with robbing the cradle and I have every intention of corrupting you. "

He pulled me into his arms and placed his lips on mine. This time his tongue fought the entrance to my mouth. I let him in and we fought each other for dominance. I let him win this time. He grabbed my bags and walked off to talk to the pilot. I tried to stay on my feet while fanning myself. The things that man does to me.

"I see the Cullen charm has gotten to you. Welcome to my world." Rosalie said to me while laughing. I noticed Emmett grabbing their bags out of his jeep. Who would have thought a jeep.

"We have other cars but the jeep makes it easier to get around on sites and such. Just to let you know that the jeep has its perks too. " She said biting her lip and fighting the blush that was over taking her face. We both fanned our faces and giggled as we walked to the hanger.

I noticed Edward was already there. I don't know where he parked his car but it was no where to be found. After seeing what Jasper and Emmett drove I was curious. The guys were making small talk and then Jasper walked over to me.

"We are all set to go. The bags are on the plane we were just waiting for you." he grabbed my hand and we boarded with the rest of the group. Jasper the gentlemen he is buckled my seatbelt and took the seat next to me. I saw Emmett do the same for Rosalie. Edward sulked off in a corner with his lap top. I don't know what was wrong with him but he needed a smack upside the head. He was not going to ruin this for Bella.

I heard the engine rev a little and we moved slowly for take off. The engine roared as we went down the runway. I grasped Jasper's hand and squeezed tight. He just smiled at me and kissed the top of my hand. After awhile we were allowed to unbuckle and move about.

"Jasper why is this jet so much smaller than the one that Bella and Angela were on?" I asked him because I was curious. I could careless how much money had as I had my own. He looked into my eyes and smiled again.

"This plane is the first one my parents bought. It is faster and more efficient to get about it. As each one of us came along they needed more room so they bought the other one too. If I had known what your plan was I could have put them on this one and us on the other but this is more cozy. Plus there is no private room for the mile high club over there." He smirked at me when he said that and pointed to Emmett and Rosalie. I just giggled and then wondered if we would ever get to join the mile high club.

"Damn straight. The things Rose does on an airplane…" Rose's hand then smacked the back of his head and then she kissed him. We all laughed then till Emmett mentioned a game of cards. Edward had his nose in his laptop and just continued to ignore us.

We played Snap, Crazy Eights, Go fish and many other games to take up the time. I did not realize how late it was but I was getting sleepy as were the rest of us. Emmett made a bed up for him and Rose. Edward was asleep already on the bed he made. I noticed Jasper had a bed made up for us. We curled up to each other and I fell fast asleep with his arms around me. I felt safe and at home.

BPOV/ Sunday Early Morning

I woke up to my back yelling at me and the sun piercing my eyelids. I so wanted to be back in my bed at home but knew that would not happen for a few more days. I looked around and was still in awe as to how plush this plane really was. I checked on Angela and she was fast asleep still. She had curled up with a pillow. I could tell she was missing her Ben. I went back and saw that Stacy was still asleep. I did not want to wake her but I needed coffee. The drink of the gods was the only thing my body needed at this point. I found the small but efficient kitchen and figured out how to make coffee.

The pilot whose name I never did get came back to see what the noise was. I got him a cup a coffee and he told me that we were about 5 hours out. We had spent more time in Nashville than planned. We would still be in New York in plenty of time. I wondered who was flying the plane and he mentioned autopilot. He must have seen the look of worry on my face. It diminished as soon as he went back to the cockpit.

I grabbed my cup of hot coffee and went to find an internet port. I could not work on ideas for the competition but I could see if a certain grump was online this early. I found a table with a port and sat down. I plugged my laptop in and the internet pulled up. The service was faster on this jet than in our house back home. I rolled my eyes at the technology.

I found the site I was last at and logged in. For it being early here it was late back at home. I heard the familiar ding and opened up the private chat.

Edward: "Good morning Princess how are you today? Are we going to resume the game again?"

I hope she did not catch that I said good morning. She was back in Portland and it was still night there. I did not want her to know I was on my families jet flying over some state. Please just shoot me now. Hopefully she is groggy and did not catch it.

Bella: "Good morning I hope that was slip up. It is still dark out here. What are you doing up so late or so early?"

Good morning? What the hell drugs was he on? He did not need to know I was 5 hours outside of New York. He also did not need to know I was going to be in one of the best things to happen to me since we started the business.

Edward: "Oh um I have to be at work earlier than normal. The boss wants this job done around the clock. I work 12 on and 12 off. Can I ask why you are up so late or so early?"

Good lie Edward. It was just past 5am and we would be in New York in a few hours. I was grateful for the tailwind we got. I don't know how much more I can deal with Emmett and Rosalie pawing at each other. Jasper and Alice were just as bad with their goo goo eyes at each other. These days I was good at lying. My family thought I was fine but little did they know what I felt deep down inside. Whoever this girl was she was good distraction.

Bella: "At the bakery they are working on some weddings or some big orders so I got called in early to help with whatever needed done. How about we don't ask 20 questions? We can just talk ok. I need the distraction to keep me awake. I hope you don't mind."

I did not need to fill him in on how I was flying in a private plane over the United States. He was a total stranger and I was not going to get close to him even if he did live in Portland. I was going to be no victim to a cyber friend.

Edward: "That is fine. If you don't mind I want to ask you something first. Did you do well in school? Did you have many boyfriends? How did you pick culinary school and not a regular college? I know that is more than one and personal but you can take the 5th just like we discussed."

Bella: "No it is ok I will answer them. As for school I was in all the advance classes I could take. I one of the valedictorians for my class. We had 3 of them. As for college I knew a normal school was not for me. I wanted to do something different. I spent a lot of time with my grandmother and mother in the kitchen. I learned all the recipes by heart by the time I was 7. I applied for the program and got the only scholarship they offered. As for boyfriends I already told you about that. My best friend was the social one out of the two of us. Compared to my best friend I am a wall flower. I stayed home to study or try out a new recipe. She always wanted me to go out with her and her recent boyfriend. Sometimes she won and sometimes I won. How about you?"

I just told this guy my dating history!! It just flowed out. I have never told anyone about this. Even Angela and Ben tried to set me up with some friends of theirs. I always turned them down. They always said I had my nose in a cookbook or a text book for another class. I needed to stay on top and make everyone proud of me

Edward: "Just from what you told me I never thought of you as a wallflower. As for me I had one girlfriend and lets just say we did not end on good terms. As for school I finished high school and started working right off."

I was not going to tell her the bad terms meant cancer. I was not going to tell her how she suffered and how I fell apart. As for school I was not going to tell her I went to the top college and left cause I couldn't deal with all the pain. I couldn't tell her that I was now with the family business.

Bella: "I am sorry to hear that. I have never been through a break up. I know dealing with my best friend a break up is something I don't ever want to go through."

He was not going to know about how I lost my parents and how I still missed them. I noticed he changed the subject after that comment I made. We chatted for the next few hours. I noticed that Stacy was fixing something wonderful. The smells that were coming from the kitchen made my mouth water. Angela came out and looked at me then looking for coffee. I pointed towards the kitchen and she followed the smell.

Bella: "I better get ready for work. If you are on tonight can we chat again. I am sure I will have some sort of good baking mishaps to tell you about."

Edward: "I am sure we will chat again. Have a great day."

I saw him logoff and I followed suit. I saw Angela come out with two plates and Stacy followed her with other ones. They placed them on the table and looked at me.

"I told Stacy we would not eat unless she joined us. So she is joining us. You should see what she made!!" Angela lifted lids and my eyes got wide.

Each one of the plates had eggs, bacon, toast, hash browns, fruit of all kinds and Danishes. It was way to much food for the three of us. I helped myself to everything. I was starving for once and hunger won over the butterflies. We ate and talked about the competition. Stacy wished us good luck. We exchanged email address, cell phone numbers etc. I told her whenever she was in Portland to look us up. She would be happy to stay and get a good meal. We helped her clean up and she shooed us back to our seats. We were getting ready to approach New York. The butterflies returned and were now battling my wonderful breakfast.

We buckled ourselves into our seats and the plane made its descent. We landed without any problems. Stacy came out to say good-bye and hugged us both. We grabbed our bags and walked off the plane. I noticed we were in another private area of the airport. These Cullen's really know how to live big.

I noticed a black limo with the driver waiting for us. I don't know how I am going to thank all of them when I get back. He took our bags and put them in the trunk. We both got in and enjoyed the air conditioning as the weather here was warmer than I thought it would be. The driver started the limo and drove off.

"Um sir do you now where to go. I did not give you any directions." I said kind of loudly so he would hear me.

"Miss Swan all the details have been given to me. Please sit back and enjoy the drive. I know you are not here in our fair city long but please enjoy all the sites we go by." With that the privacy window came up. We were alone to enjoy New York and take it all in.

Angela and I sat in silence. I think we were to engulfed into the huge buildings to engage in girl talk. The buildings were vast and beautiful. All the people moving about reminded me of an ant farm I had as a child. I noticed all the cabs, busses, fancy cars and limos like this one moving on the road. I noticed all the stores and some of them were fancy. I know I would never be able to afford anything out of them. I croaked when Alice bought me things from them.

I noticed we the limo came to a stop. The door opened for us to get out and I looked at the building. This is not where we were staying at! I turned around to look at the driver. He was busy getting our bags out to give to the bellhop.

"Excuse me but there has to be some mistake. This is not our hotel." I was fuming mad. How were we going to pay for this?

"Miss Swan arrangements were made for you and your company to stay here. This is where the competition is going to be held and they thought it would be easier for you to stay here than a few miles away." He gave our bags to the bellhop and turned around to us. Angela was now on the sidewalk with her face in awe.

I went to hand the driver a tip. He refused it and told us good luck and enjoy the city. I shook my head and looked at Angela. She simple shrugged her shoulders at me. We both looked up and down at the building. All I could think was how was I going to thank the Cullen's for this?

We followed the bellhop to the front desk. There were several people ahead of us and I just waited to be helped. I noticed the bellhop say something to one of the people behind the desk. They simply nodded and came to help us. I was shocked as they simply had someone else to come over to help the other people. This was some service at the Waldorf=Astoria Hotel.

"Miss Swan, We are happy to have you here at our lovely hotel. I understand you are competing in the Food TV competition. Congratulations!! You are all set, here are your keys and the bellhop will help you to your suite. Also here is the packet that Food TV left for you. Please if you need anything please don't hesitate to ask. I am Michael and at your service. " He smiled at us and we back at him.

We followed the bellhop to the elevator. He took us to suite 110. He unlocked the door for us and set our bags down. I went to tip him and he said it had been taken care of already. He then gave me the key and left. I was not going to say anything and I had no words as to what was going on.

Angela was squealing as she looked around at the suite. It had a living room with an adjacent dinning room. There was a wet bar that was fully stocked. She opened doors and the first one was a huge bedroom. I opened the second set of doors and it was identical to the other one. They were both beautiful decorated. I heard Angela moan as she opened the bathroom. I opened the door to mine and was gob smacked! The tub was a whirlpool and huge! The shower had so many jets that I don't know what half of them did. It was so beautiful.

Angela and I came out to the living room together and just looked at each other. Neither of us knew what to say at all of this. I heard a knock on the door and went to answer it. The waiter came in with a trolley that had a champagne and some hor'dourves on it. I noticed it was passed lunch but not time for dinner yet. I knew I was hungry for at least a snack. I went to pay and was told it was taken care of again. I noticed a card on the trolley on a silver tray. Angela popped the cork on the champagne and I opened the note.

Bella and Angela,

We are so proud of you! This is just the beginning to all the competitions for the future. Enjoy each moment that it brings you! Everything is taken care of so you will have no worries.

Signed,

Mom and Dad, Alice, The Cullens, Chef Clay and Mr. Xavier

Who knew we had a routing team back at home. Angela passed me a glass of champagne and we nibbled on the delicious food. I grabbed the envelope and opened it up. It went over the rules and regulations. I noticed there were some changes but we could handle them. There were also id badges in there for us too. We had to have these on at all times to be let into the back rooms for the contestants. There was to be a meeting in the ballroom 4pm. We had spent so much time looking around we lost track of time. It was almost 4pm now. We grabbed the passes as we put down our champagne and headed down to the ballroom. We decided to order room service when we got back later. I knew we had some work to do tonight and was not in the mood for a fancy restaurant.

The ballroom was beautiful even with all the chairs and the set up for tomorrow competition. I noticed Keegan Gerhard talking to the other judges. There stood Marina Sousa, Kerry Vincent and some other judge I did not know. Marina had her own business and had participated in other challenges. Kerry Vincent ran one of the biggest competitions in Oklahoma. I had not a clue who the other judge was and this point I did not care.
