So, this little outtake should have come last weekend, but we just decided to write it the other day. Surprise! Thanks to MaggieMay14 who beta'd this quickly for us. The next chapter will post tomorrow.

We don't own Twilight; we are both looking forward to our kids going back to school **Risbee and CPW dance around happily like morons**

Chapter Song: Girls Just Wanna Have Fun by Cyndi Lauper

"Would you just look at them, I mean…I'm a little disgusted, I have to admit."

Edward and I had just pulled into the driveway back at the beach house after the most deliciously sinful night of my life to what I could only describe as a freakin' welcoming committee. Kate and Charlotte sat on the front steps shucking corn and trying to look like that was just a coincidence that they were outside when we returned.

Coincidence, my ass.

"Don't you think you're being a bit accusatory? I mean, they're up to their elbows in corn…maybe they really are just being…productive?" I couldn't help the obnoxious snort I let out as I turned to look at Edward.

The idea of Kate and Charlotte being productive should have answered Edward's question before he even verbalized it, but hey, whatever. I knew these two women like the back of my hand. The mountain of ears on the steps beside them notwithstanding, there was no way possible that these two were up to any good.

I started counting the ears they had cleaned already and was amazed by the sheer quantity that lay beside them. Good lord; how long had they been out here waiting for us to return?

"Trust me. They're laying in wait…lying in wait? Gah, I always get that confused. Anyway, trust me when I say I'm getting ready to be ambushed. There is absolutely no way in hell those girls really needed to shuck that much corn unless they were holding a party for all of Emerald Isle."

Edward put the car in park and I gently grabbed his forearm, stopping him before he could open the door. There had always been a spark or zing or something whenever I touched him, but now, after last night, it had evolved into something even more electric. I knew what those hands, mouth, and body could do to me and how we felt together. I'd never be able to go back to the way things were before, emotionally or physically. I needed this man beside me more than I needed air to breathe, food to eat, or Coach K to retire. Yes, even more than that, which was saying a lot.

"Here's the plan. When I say 'go', I want you to pop the trunk. When you open your door, run around and grab our stuff. I'd say we could leave it till later, but I may have snagged a few of the croissants from breakfast this morning and I don't want them to get stale." He looked at me amused, but I just shrugged. They were really good, what can I say. "They'll expect me to get out on my side, but I'll scoot across the console, if you remember, I'm rather adept at doing that." It was my turn to grin and his turn to hiccup.

Precious.

"I'll run to the door inside and meet you in your room. The key is to stay together. They'll want to divide and conquer, but I know their methods. They can't fool me. Okay, on the count of three, go."

One…two…

Suddenly my passenger side door was opened and a neatly manicured claw, I mean, hand grabbed my own.

Fuck.

As I looked up, I saw Charlotte holding the spare set of keys belonging to Edward's car. Damn him for being such a boy scout. I totally should have thought to hide them before we left yesterday, especially since I knew how crafty my friends could be. I looked at Edward with wide eyes, seeing my terror reflected in his own 'deer in the headlights' look.

Kate leaned in the car and her sultry voice at my ear made me cringe. "Bella, come. Charlotte has something she needs to talk to us about."

Charlotte…right…

As I was pulled from the car, succumbing to my inevitable fate, I screamed for Edward to save himself. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Garrett and Peter high five themselves as they popped up from the bushes they must have been hiding behind, and I knew it was too late.

As he mouthed 'I adore you,' the words that melted my heart those blissful hours before, I resigned myself to the 2011 version of the Spanish Inquisition. And maybe, a part of me wondered if I could knock them out with a couple of ears of corn.

After all, I could be pretty resourceful when the situation required it.

As soon as we were out of ear shot, they started. The girls came at me fast and furious, sorta like Edward. Suddenly, my legs were a bit noodly as I thought back to our time alone and... gah. Seriously, it was like I was high or something. I couldn't stop the Cheshire cat grin and I felt like I was floating.

"Where did you go for dinner? I told him Grocery, but did he listen? They have great vegetarian dishes there. Though, you probably wanted to stay away from legumes. If I had thought about it, I would have told him to bring some Beano…"

"So, did he know what he was doing? I've seen what he's got to work with, but can he use it? Garrett does this thing where…"

Charlotte and Kate were relentless. Did we use condoms? Are we home early because the inn owner kicked us out? Did he tell me he loved me? Did I tell him that I loved him because it was completely obvious that I did? Even if I wanted to answer every one of their completely invasive questions, which I didn't, I couldn't because they were talking over each other.

With every question, they scooted closer until they were practically on my lap. In fact, I was pretty sure that Kate was vibrating as I tried to keep up as best as I could. "Grocery, yes, no, I can't remember, balsamic vinaigrette, yes but I'm not discussing that." I let out a big sigh and then continued on. "No, he doesn't have any piercings and if you start talking about Garrett I'm leaving." I couldn't. My head was spinning and they wouldn't... shut up.

I tried to tell them that we ran into that girl, Lauren, when we were looking at the boats and we joined her little celibacy club.

They didn't buy it. In fact, Kate seemed a little angry at the mere mention of her name. Was she pouting? Really?

"You always tell us stuff, B. We always share. I knew the second you kissed that guy freshman year. I sensed it. Charlotte can't keep a secret to save her life, so I don't worry about her, but you kept you and Edward quiet until we busted you. I don't think I like this at all. It's just so…respectable of you." She wrinkled her nose and picked up a piece of corn.

Some of the brown corn silks fell in her lap as she started to tear off the husks.

"At least tell me you didn't have to pull hairs out of your mouth." She gagged a little bit and I started to wonder how we were friends. She is just…I don't even know.

Things were different this time, this thing with Edward. This wasn't just a college hookup or summertime fling or whatever. I didn't want to flaunt it, I wanted to nurture it and keep it safe and just between the two of us.

I turned back to Charlotte who, all this time, had still been going on and on about something that I couldn't follow. Kate. Charlotte. Chaos. Talking, Yammering. Asking. Asking and throwing in the obligatory 'that's what she said' when I said I wanted to go in. Of course, that led to the topic of pegging, and it was then that I knew I had had enough.

It was time to pick my battles, so I gave them the quick, PG rated, run down. I told them about dinner, the bird and that last night was amazing, beautiful and that dolphins waved at us as we were driving past the marina.

Charlotte got really excited about that, but then proceeded to tell me that actually, we probably saw porpoises instead of dolphins and that there was a difference.

I didn't fucking care. All I wanted to do was go find Edward and find out his thoughts on piercings.
