I don't own twilight…..

Also when I say prick, slut and bastard etc. I don't mean them offensively (any original meanings) I mean them to be playful insults unless said in utter outrage. If that makes any sense.

Previously…..

Alice jumped on Jasper's back and I quickly set the timer and placed it on a shelf. I ran back and paused unsure of where to stand.

'Bells, come on you'll miss the photo' said Jasper

Edward stepped forward and dragged me next to him. He put his arm around me and whispered in my ear, 'Let's make this photo more interesting'

Just before the flash went off Edward turned my head and pressed his lips to mine.

What's right in front of you!

I pushed him away. I mean seriously do I have tart written across my face. I scowled at him but the prick just smiled. He ran over to the shelf and grabbed the camera.

'This has been fun but I have to go' said Edward

He smacked my arse and waved goodbye to the others. Urgh that boy is going to kill me. Thankfully Alice was solely focused on Jasper whose back she was still on but Jasper the bastard was smirking at me.

'Don't say a word Jasper. You're the one with your 'sisters' legs wrapped around you'

He actually blushed before tilting back so Alice could climb off. Unfortunately he tilted too quickly and Alice ended up falling to the ground. She landed with an 'ooof' and shakily stood up, slapping away Jasper's hands when he tried to pick her up. Jasper and I started laughing but quickly stopped when we saw her expression. Wu-oh she looked pissed off.

'Bella, Rosalie can show you the way home' said Alice, glaring at Jasper and I as she stalked off.

'Bella do you mind if…i..um..' he said glancing at Alice's retreating figure.

I shook my head, smiling.

After Jasper had run off to find Alice, I texted Rose and wandered back to the lingerie shop to meet her.

xxxxxxxx

'He ran after her didn't he?' asked Rose with a knowing smile.

'Yep, he's so in denial, you should have seen him before, he was totally checking her out in the lingerie shop'

She laughed, 'I know he's pathetic, I wonder when he'll realise what's right in front of him'

I grinned at Rose. 'Well I guess it's up to us to show him what he's missing out on'

'Agreed' said Rose, smiling.

We continued chatting and conversation eventually led to the Alice/Jake/Edward thing.

'Don't let Alice fool you Bells, she was devastated when Edward stopped talking to her. She pleaded with him saying it was a mistake and that she felt horrible but he didn't budge. Alice was miserable. Jasper ended up yelling at Edward to go talk to her. They finally made up and have been extremely close ever since' Rose explained.

'Geez, Edward must really hate Jacob to do that to Alice'

'Yeah……anyway enough with the heavy stuff, what did you come to the mall for? Was it paint? Why would you need paint? Are you renovating? What colour do you want?' asked Rose

I laughed. 'Geez, you don't hold back on the questions, do you? Yes, I need to buy paint because Charlie my dad, decided to let his trampy personal assistant paint my room PINK. Can you believe it, MY room pink and sparkly!' I exclaimed

She laughed at my outraged expression. 'Calm down Bella, it's going to be okay'

'You don't understand, it's hideous' I said, shuddering.

'What's hideous? I don't see anything hideous here, I see two fine looking ladies' said Emmett, winking.

He had just finished work and waltzed over to them totally proud of his lovely uniform.

'Good to see you're working the outfit Emmett' I said

He grinned and puffed out his chest. 'You can't let the outfit own you Bella, you must own the outfit' he said in a wise voice.

'Shut up you, don't think I didn't hear you squeal like a little girl when you first saw your uniform' said Rose.

Laughing I said, 'Wow how manly of you Emmett'

'You don't understand Bella, this was their second choice you don't even want to know what their first choice was. If they'd forced me to wear it I don't think I would ever recover' he said shivering.

'Anyway drama queen we need to get going and show Bella the way to her house, so go give back your uniform' said Rose.

I never thought I'd see the day, a flush of pink spread across his cheeks.

'Umm actually, I don't have to give it back because they offered me a job' said Emmett.

Rose and I were momentarily stunned and then we burst out laughing and didn't stop until we reached the car park, much to the embarrassment of Emmett.

Rose and Emmett showed me the way home and I waved to them before I drove into the garage. I made my way past all the shiny cars and headed inside. I found Charlie in the kitchen pulling some amazing smelling food out of its take-away containers. He beamed at me when I came in but it was short lived as he must have seen my expression.

'I'm sorry about your truck Bella but it had to go, can we please forget about it for tonight and have a nice dinner' he said pleadingly.

I sighed dramatically and said, 'Fine but just so you know I'm painting my room'

It looked like he was going to say something but decided against it at the last minute, instead he served out dinner and took it into the dining room. After a nice dinner with the usual 'how was your day' type questions I escaped up to my room.

I flopped onto the bed completely exhausted. I smiled, what an amazing first day. Rose, Alice, Jasper and Emmett were all amazing and Edward, I hadn't really made up my mind about him.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The next few weeks past in a blur and before I knew it the door bell was ringing. Alice had cornered me in gym on Friday and since Charlie was going to be away, Alice claimed that her and Rose must come over.

I opened the doorbell and found Alice beaming up at me. She flew past me eager to get into the house. Then in came Rose, Emmett, Jasper and lastly Edward. They were all dressed in army clothes with war paint on their faces and Jasper and Edward were carrying huge duffel bags.

'What are you guys doing here?' I asked, thinking it was just Alice and Rose coming over to watch some movies.

'Well since your dad's away we thought we could hang out here and while we're at it help paint your room, you don't mind if we stay the night do you?' she asked, innocently smiling at me.

I sighed knowing there was no way out of it. 'Well, I guess you're already here so make yourselves at home'

'Does that mean I have permission to go through your underwear drawer now?' asked Emmett.

Jasper and Edward laughed while Rose, Alice and I glared at him. 'I'll take that as a no then' said Emmett.

I shook my head and gave them a tour of the house. They oohed and aarhed at the appropriate times until finally I stood outside my room.

'And this is my room, but I'll show you that later' I said, trying to prolong the inevitable.

Emmett who was right behind me tried to get around but I blocked the doorway.

'Bella I'm sure it's not that bad' said Jasper

'Trust me, it's bad' I said

'Bella there's an easy way and a hard way, you picked the hard way' said Emmett. I looked up at him confused and saw him grinning. All of a sudden I was lifted into the air and thrown over his shoulder. I squealed and hoped I hadn't flashed anyone. He opened the door and there was utter silence. Then the laughter started and it felt like it would never end.

'Wow Bells it really is that bad. It's pink, sparkly and has kiddy drawings all over the walls' said Jasper.

I huffed and told Emmett to put me down. He did but being the clutz that I am, I fell over. Straight into Edward's arms. I hastily righted myself and went to turn away but Edward grabbed my arm. He lent forward and quietly said, 'That rule about not going through your underwear drawer was only meant for Emmett wasn't it?'

'You wish' I replied

'I do' he said grinning.

I glared at him and pushed him away, trying to appear calm. On the inside my heart was thumping, not just because of his comment but because Edward Cullen was in my house and he was staying the night.
