BPOV

When I got home my parents weren't in the kitchen, but the sun was just starting to rise. I checked my phone and saw it was five twenty three, in the morning. Of course they wouldn't be awake.

I ran up to my room and took off my clothes. I reeked of alcohol and if my parent smelt that, my cover was blown. Secrets are rarely kept in this family, but this was was going straight into the vault. I knew that Edward would keep his mouth closed, he was never one to tattle-tale.

After a shower I went to bed, feeling drained and exhausted from last night. My mouth was minty and I thanked god for toothpaste. Vomit breath was definately not attractive, especially ontop of morning breath.

Sleep came quickly, but I was awoken too soon by the feeling of something manuevering around my bed. My lavender sheets being pealed from my body slowly, I grasped for them, wanting to feel the warmness once again.

" I think you should get up."

" I think you should go away." I retorted

He chuckled and poked my ribs. I jumped about a foot in the air, my forehead knocking into Edward's jaw, that cracked in protest. He basically jumped off my bed, and screeched like a little girl who fell off a swing. He ran into my bathroom quickly.

" Oh my god! Edward, are you okay. I am so sorry."

Edward cradled his jaw, staring at it in my bathroom mirror. He opened and closed his mouth, shifting his jaw around. Charlie suddenly bursted into my room, looking at me with panic filling his eyes. I smiled wryly at him.

" Bella, why did you scream?"

I almost laughed.

Almost.

" That was, Edward. I hit his jaw with my head."

" Why on earth would you do that?" he asked incredulously.

I pointed towards Edward " He was the one who poked me. It's a natural reaction to jump!" I exclaimed

Charlie looked in the bathroom " You okay, son?"

" I'm accusing her of assult. This is the money maker! If you broke my jaw then I would of killed you." Edward said, rubbing his jaw.

" Your such a girl." I muttered to myself.

My father chuckled and looked at me, his eyes looking over my clothes. " Isabella! Dress decent for sleeptime. Your do not wear... that to bed. Especially with a boy in your bedroom." he scolded.

" It's, Edward! Like he is going to do anything." I said in response, covering my body with blankets.

After I had taken a shower I just threw on my panties, which were boyshorts, and slipped on a blue t-shirt. I hadn't anticipated Edward coming here...

I shook my head, getting my thoughts to dissapear. Charlie left my bedroom, and a complaining Edward in the bathroom. I buried myself under the covers as I heard Edward muttering to himself.

When he was done staring at himself in the mirror, I heard his footsteps across the room. He settled on my bed next to me and poked my ribs once again, this time I only twitched. Suddenly I felt his hands on my ribs and he started to tickle me. I screeched before I broke out in fits of laughter, at the same time trying to bat him away.

" E-E-Edwa-Edward. S-S-Stop. Ca... Shit, can't breathe!" I screamed between laughter.

" That's what you get for hitting me!" he said as he took his hands off me. I sat up and looked at him, a small smile on my face. " Your fine."

He glared at me " And you know how?"

I leaned forward and placed a gentle kiss on his jaw, my lips pressed against it longer then appropriate, but I couldn't exactly help myself. When I pulled back he had an unreadable expression on his face.

" Kissed it better. Now I think I smell french toast..." I trailed off.

" Let's go!" he said, dragging me out of bed.

" I'd best put on pants."

He laughed " Wouldn't want to give my father the wrong idea."

My head spun around and I glared at him " What?"

" Last night you said Carlisle was cute."

I blushed a deep red " Oh my god. Edward, he's like my dad. That's just gross. I mean he's nice looking but I do not-"

" No need to elaborate, nutbar."

I shuffled through my dresser and produced a pair of black shorts. I quickly slipped them on and threw my hair up in a ponytail. Edward slipped out of my bedroom door and darted down the stairs, me right after him. We hung a right to the kitchen, and sitting in the mismatched chairs were our parents.

" Morning... I presume things were resolved last night?" Esme asked.

Edward put his arm around my shoulder and squished me to him.

"Yeah, it was just a mis-understanding. Now, is that french toast?"

We stared at the plate, five peices left. I jumped at a plate and grabbed for them. Edward shoved me out of the way and grabbed a third peice. I tried grabbing it from him, shoving him back and smacking his hands away.

He laughed maniacally and ran into the living room with the third peice.

" I HATE YOU, CULLEN!" I shouted, running after him with my plate in hand.

" NO RUNNING WITH FOOD!" Our parents shouted at us

We came to a stop by the coffee table, Edward on one side and I on the other.

" Hand it over and nobody gets hurt." I warned

Edward laughed once again " Settle down, Swan. It's mine, don't be jealous."

I huffed and sat on the couch. He warily sat down next to me and picked up his fork. Just as he wasn't looking I bit his wrist, making him yelp and drop the fork. I grabbed the french toast and took a bite out of it, standing up and quickly running to the kitchen.

"Bella! Get the fuck over here." Edward yelled.

" Language!" Esme yelled

I ran behind Carlisle, who seemed startled by my presence for a moment.

" Don't let him get me!" I screeched as Edward ran into the room. He stopped infront of Carlisle with an evil glare.

" Isabella!"

I ate the second peice of french toast and grabbed the third, setting my plate down and making a mad dash for the front door. I whipped it open and ran into the front yard, laughing the whole way.

" Bella. Just give it to me!" he yelled, chasing me around the house.

Finally he caught me around the waist and I squealed, dropping the sacred french toast.

" EDWARD?!" I heard Tanya's voice screech from his lawn.

I was immediatly dropped and I tucked a stray hair behind my ear. Edward stood, straightening out his clothes as she walked over. She looked me up and down with distaste before looking at him.

" What was that little display about?"

" French toast. Bella didn't want to give it to me." Edward said simply, wrapping his arm around my shoulder.

She scoffed " Over toast? Seriously? That's stupid... What are you doing here?"

" Well, it is my house." I informed her.

" Whatever." she said, ignoring me and staring down at the french toast that was in the grass.

Edward stared down at it and sighed " Such a waste. It's all your fault. If you never bit me then it would be in my stomach."

" Your the one who chased me!" I accused.

He shrugged.

" You bit him?" Tanya asked, clearly annoyed.

" Tanya, we were just messin' around."

She glared at me " What are you, some rabid vampire?"

Edward stood infront of me " That's enough, okay? We were just fooling around."

"Fooling around?" she said, bringing her attention back to me " Next thing I know you'll be all over him. This relationship, best be just friendship." she spat.

I clenched my eyes shut before turning around and walking away. That little comment hit me straight in the heart.

" Iz!" Edward shouted

I shut the front door as Esme and Carlisle stood in the tiny foyer. Since they had come over to eat breakfast, we decided for them to not come over at dinner time, they had explained.

" Where's Edward?"

" With his girlfriend." I stated, walking up the stairs.

Edward and Bella's Birthday

------

" HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU. HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR EDWARD AND BELLA! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!"

I shifted around on Edward's white lounger, his black and white blanket sprawled across my body. He was passed out in his bed, a tuft of his bronze hair peeking out from the thick white sheets

My eyes opened slowly to reveal my parents, holding two cupcakes. My dad was holding one for me, and my mother had one for Edward. They were both chocolate, with chocolate frosting and colorful sprinkles. There was a small blue and white candle, the flame blazing.

Esme and Carlisle were not around but I didn't bother to question it.

" Make a wish!" Renee said.

I wish that Tanya will be out of the picture before Highschool ends.

It was a typical wish, but a wish I wanted to come true. But who in the hell was I kidding. Wishes rarely come true. In Edward's bed I saw him blow out his candle before snatching up the cupcake and shoving it into his mouth.

I grabbed mine and ate it quickly before laying back down.

" Come on, you've got school today and then you have gifts and another cake later."

" Please skip school?" I heard Edward beg.

" Your mother warned me about this. No."

He groaned " Please! We've been going to school on our Birthdays every year, besides when it's on a weekend. Just this once!" He pleaded.

Renee smacked his bottom " Get up you lazy bum,"

" You did not just smack my ass."

" I just did."

-----

I was definately not looking forward to school. Alot of people knew that it was Edward's Birthday, but they also knew that mine landed on the same day. Alice would probably make a huge deal about it, per Alice usual.

My mother insisted on me dressing nice for today at school. Later we had reservations at ' The Village' which is a formal dining restaurant that serves Italian Cuisine, which is Edward and I's favorite kind of food. Mushroom Ravioli is the best, though I love a traditional Curry Pasta that is quite known in England.

" Mom, I promise I will change my clothes when it's time to leave for dinner."

She huffed in response and walked out of my bedroom.

I had taken a shower already, but my mother had burst in here as I was in a towel, demanding I dress nice. I went through my closet, picking out a pair of light wash jeans that had already made holes and snags in it. I slipped on a t-shirt and covered it with a pull over sweat shirt from Aeropostale. When I tied up my converse I went to the bathroom and brushed my teeth. I let my hair down to do as it wished and grabbed my bag.

My mother made a small meal, which I ate and thanked her for. When I finished I washed my dishes and was out the door. Edward was waiting for me, an aggrivating look on his face.

" Sad that you have to share a Birthday with me?"

He chuckled " No. I'd just rather stay home and sleep."

I nodded in agreement and walked towards his Volvo. He unlocked the doors and I slid it quickly. The purr of the engine sounded after he got into the car. He shifted into rear and backed out of his driveway.

----

Upon arriving at school I was attacked by an overly excited Alice when I stepped out of the car. She wrapped her arms around me tightly and kissed my cheek.

" HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" She yelled, loud enough for everyone to hear.

I shushed her and pulled away as she handed me a silver box.

" Present now or later?" she asked..

" I didn't want any gifts." I grumbled.

She laughed " I guess that means later."

Jasper grabbed her tiny hand in his and pulled her away, basically dragging her into the school. My laugh followed Edward's as we followed them into the school. When I got to my locker I saw Emmett sneak up behind Edward. He wrapped his burly arms around Edward's skinny form and lifted him off the ground, surprising Edward.

" Seventeen ehh? Happy Birthday, my british buddy." Emmett boomed.

" Oh my god. Put me the hell down, Emmett!" Edward shouted.

Emmett dropped him, letting Edward land unsteady on the ground and run into the lockers.

" Whoa there. Don't want you to get hurt." Emmett said, grabbing Edward's arm and yanking him back.

Edward glared at him before fixing his shirt " I'm not a doll." he stated.

I laughed and closed my locker after grabbing my books. Rose was waiting with open arms and hugged me tightly. I hugged her back genuinely, glad that she wasn't screaming that it was my Birthday.

" Happy Birthday, Izzy." she said, pulling away and handing me a gift.

" Later okay?" I asked.

She nodded and slipped the small box back into her bag. Emmett crushed me to him for a few minutes before I choked out that I had class. Reluctently he let me go and I walked down the hall next to Edward.

As we were a few doors from class Tanya appeared, out of absolutely nowhere, and stopped infront of Edward. She clasped her hands around his neck and placed a sloppy kiss on his lips, giving him what I think was supposed to be a seductive smile.

"I've got a gift later for you tonight. Come over around nine." she murmured.

" Um, sure. Sounds fine."

I skipped into the classroom and took my seat as Mr. Brooks started his lesson. Edward darted into the room, taking his seat quickly before writing down notes on today's lesson.

----

Finally when school was over I was able to get out of here and go home. Edward parked his car and I got out and walked to my house. My parents car's were both in the driveway, next to my black, shiny pick-up truck.

I got into the house and trudged my way upstairs to my bedroom.

When I walked into my bedroom, laying on my bed was a sage green and black dress. There was a thin black ribbon at the waist and it had a scoop neck and straps that were about an inch and a half thick. The dress looked flowy and there was a black cardigan next to it, along with a pair of Mary Jane pumps that were black.

" You like it?" I heard a voice behind me speak.

I spun around and wrapped my arms around my mom " Thank you so much. It's beautiful."

" Now dress, are reservation is for five, it's already three thirty!" she exclaimeed, shutting the door. I locked it and stripped out of my clothes. Glad that I was already showered I slipped on the dress and zipped it in the back. It fell just below my knee's and was very light and flowy. The material felt like satin against my skin.

I got into my bathroom and started up the curling iron, while it heated up I started on my make-up, making my eyes smokey as Alice called it. I swiped on mascara, liquid eye liner and then started with my hair.

I curled it in sections, pining up peices that were already done. Since my hair was long it got in the way sometimes so it was easier to pin up peices that were done to see the straighter peices.

Once my hair was all curled I sprayed a little hairspray in, enough for it to hold, but not enough for it to harden. I brushed my teeth and applied lip gloss before walking back out to my bedroom. It was already four fifteen and we were leaving and four thirty. I spritzed on some perfume and slipped on the cardigan. I smoothed lotion over my legs, giving them a subtle glow.

I grabbed my heels and ran downstairs to the living room. I strapped them on and stood, luckily they were only about three inch heels, not the four or five inch that Alice always tried to squeeze me into.

When I got into the kitchen I saw my father wearing a nice suit and my mother a pair of pin stripped grey slacks and a red blouse. She smiled when she saw my appearence.

" You look beautiful, sweetheart." she said sincerely, giving me a hug and leading me outside.

We walked over to the Cullens mansion. Carlisle was waiting on the porch, wearing a nice pair of black slacks and a blue button up that was tucked in, he matched it with a black suit jacket. Next to him Esme was wearing a tweed skirt and shoes to match, her blouse was purple and it was slightly ruffled in the front.

The one I was staring at, was the one who was tapping his shoe and running his hands through his hair. Edward was wearing black slacks, like Carlisle, but he had on a dark green button up, similar to the color of my dress, and it was tucked in. He wore a skinny black tie, and that was it.

His hair was in it's normal, sexy, dissaray, making me want to run my hands throught it. He looked perfectly relaxed and at ease.

When I got up to the porch Carlisle immediatly enveloped me in a hug. I hugged him back.

" Happy Birthday, sweetie."

Esme dragged me in next, wrapping her arms around my neck. " Happy Birthday, Bella."

I hugged her tightly before she released me. Edward looked over at me, his eyes trailing over my dress before looking at himself.

" They purposely matched us."

My mother laughed " We always did when you were babies. Same color scheme."

I rolled my eyes and skipped down the steps. We took seperate cars to drive to the resturaunt downtown. We were only fifteen or so miles away from the resturaunt. Carlisle and Esme beat us there with Carlisle's fast driving. That's where Edward learned to drive like a maniac.

Edward, being the gentlemen he is, opened my door and held out his hand. I took it quickly, feeling my arm being lit on fire from the sparks, and stood up steadily. When I was about to pull away he wrapped his hand around mine and walked towards the restaurant.

" Why are you holding my hand?" I asked.

" Am I not allowed?"

I shrugged and he opened the door, leading us through.

Esme POV

As I saw my son link his hand through Isabella's, I felt my heart swell for them, mostly for little Isabella.

She had grown so much, and with her growing, I knew she felt more then friendship towards my son. The way she looked at him was with pure love and adoration, I could only imagine the strong feeling of sadness when he didn't look at her the same way.

I started to notice her feelings when she was at the tender age of fourteen. It started with small things.

She would stare at him longer then just a glance. Isabella would hang on a little tighter and longer for only a friendly hug. Then she would blush deep red when anybody joked about them being together.

Edward had told me that Isabella was his first kiss when he was thirteen. That was probably when the feeling ignited. My son was a very handsome and smart man and I knew that nobody deserved him more then Isabella. They were just adorable together, now and as children.

To this day she still staring at him, but now there was love in her eyes and it even hurted me to see him so blind. I felt awful for her because now her feelings were deepened, and Edward may be smart. But he is damn clueless.

He had gotten a girlfriend, known as Tanya, and she was sometimes nice, but when I looked at her... She wasn't the one her deserved my Edward. He deserved someone that deserved him. I knew that there would be nobody else that would love him like Isabela does does.

Carlisle kissed my lips swiftly and held my hand.

" She loves him, Carlisle. I can see it." I whispered.

He ran his knuckles along my cheekbone, " I know, my love."

BPOV

We gave the lady the last name that was in the reservation, it was under ' Cullen' because Esme had made the reservation. We were led to a table with six chairs and were seated with menu's. Our drink orders were taken and we were left to look over the menu.

There was no need for me to look over the menu, I already knew what I wanted to order. That would be the famous Mushroom Ravioli, also known as the best dish on the planet Earth. Edward said he was leaning towards the Pasta Primavera, which was a pasta with a variety of vegetables mixed into it with a thick tomato sauce.

The waitress came back with our drinks and asked us is we were ready to order.

" The tortellini with white sauce, not red, please." Esme answered.

" Lasagna," my father replied.

The waitress jotted it all down and turned to Carlisle.

" I would like the Chicken Parmesan." he told her.

She smiled before looking at my mother.

"I would also like the Chicken Parmesan."

Edward went next " Pasta Primavera, no peas."

" Mushroom Ravioli."

She finished off the order and came back with drink refills. Edward leaned against the table towards Esme, a childish smile playing on his face.

" So, what did you get me?" he asked exictedly.

I bit my lip to prevent the bubble of laughter that wanted to escape my mouth.

Esme held Carlisle's hand over the table " Nothing. Maybe a few CD's, that's about it."

Edward leaned back in his chair and huffed, arms over his chest.

Once dinner was served the table was quiet, and there was only the noise of forks and knife's clinking against the glass plates. When I bit into my ravioli I moaned out loud at the taste. Everyone looked up at me and Edward looked like he wanted to laugh at me.

" What?" I asked quietly.

They just went back to eating. I finished my meal, polishing off the whole plate until it was once again white. The waitress took my plate from me and re-filled my glass of water. The rest of them finished their meals and they asked for the check. They split it in half and we headed back to Edward's

My mother raced in quickly, probably getting the cake and lighting the candles. They stalled us outside for ten minutes before we were able to walk in. The house was dark as we let eachother lead us to the kitchen.

On the glass table, was a cake, it had royal blue icing and light blue icing decorating the bottom and lining on the top. In a chocolate brown it read, ' Happy Birthday Isabella and Edward ' I smiled and took my seat next to Edward.

They sang the traditional Birthday song for the second time today, only his parents included and we blew out the candles, getting a second wish.

My wishes were about what I wanted, it was my Birthday and I was going to be selfish. We ate our cake together before Edward was basically on his knee's begging for his gifts. Esme brought them out with Carlisle. My gift was apparently at home, but was too heavy to carry.

Edward ripped open the first gift, which was an envelope. I knew what his gift was, I had bought things to go with it and our parents paid for the big gift.

He took out a sheet of paper and immediatly dropped it after picking it up.

" Your kidding me right?" he asked.

Carlisle shook his head " Go outside."

Edward shot up from his seat like a bullet and made a mad dash outside. On the driveway, sat a Sportster Motorcycle 883 low in scarlett red with black accents. His mouth dropped to the floor and I smiled at his reaction.

"Holy shit. Oh my god."

" This is from Renee and Charlie, too. You obviously know that your going to be going for riding lessons, but we want you to take care of this Edward. It's not some cheap motorcycle."

Edward picked Esme off her feet and twirled her around " Thank you. Thank you. I promise to love you forever."

After letting Esme down he squeezed Carlisle to death before hugging my mom tightly and my father, who looked a little pale from Edward hugging him so hard. When he picked me up I screaming in surprise.

" You didn't even open my gifts." I stated.

He kissed my cheek " I know, but I was on a roll here."

Minutes later he still hadn't let me go, he was basically carrying me around everywhere like a little doll.

" Um, Edward. You can, uh, let go now." I said.

He set me on the ground and went to straddle his motorcycle. Oh the sight of that made me want to-

" Don't mess with it, Edward."

Edward huffed before getting off of it " Fine, I guess I'll go open other presents."

I rolled my eyes as he ran back into the house, excited to see the rest of his gifts.

Authors Note- The rest of the night will be finished next chapter. Link for the Motorcycle is in my profile at the bottom under 'Ambivalence Links'.
