Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight.

A/N: I love how what I had originally planned for this story is completely out the window and the story now has a mind of its' own. I've read about this happening to other authors, but I had thought I had more control over my own story lol.

I woke up in an unexpectedly good mood. I refused to open my eyes, but I can tell that it's already light out; so I know I should probably get up now. I just feel so relaxed I don't want to move.

I stretched out my body before curling back into a ball to at least try to get back to sleep before I forced myself to get up. When I moved my body over to my side, I felt a piece of paper. I know it's not from Charlie because he would leave any notes for me downstairs by the keys. The note instantly got my full attention and I made myself sit up to read the note.

Bella:

You fell asleep before I even got you home; you must have been tired. I hope you don't mind, but when I put you to bed I made sure you were in your pajamas. I hear they are more comfortable to sleep in than regular cloths.

I felt an instant blush at reading Tanya changed me. At least I can feel my bra on, so I know she didn't do anything inappropriate; though I know she would never do something anyways.

I had a wonderful time with you last night and I hope we can go on another date relatively soon.

Even though the date was nice, my evening did not end how I would have hoped. I was hoping for a goodnight kiss from you Bella. So before your shift is over with Kate at the store, I will come to collect my kiss. I hope you don't mind.

Eternally yours with all my love;

Tanya

A goodnight kiss? What kind of kiss? A kiss on the cheek… or somewhere else? I can feel my face getting red just thinking about kissing Tanya. I have never once thought about ever kissing a girl, but now that it seems Tanya is coming to me for one, I kind of like the idea. I'm actually looking forward to when I see Tanya next. I've never been this excited for a kiss before.

Tanya said she'll come when I'm at work, so wait, I have work today? Crap.

I scramble out of my bed and start looking for my phone so I can call in and see what time I work. I honestly had no idea I worked today; I totally forgot. I eventually found my phone sitting on my computer desk, plugged in for me. I had first looked through my cloths, thinking Tanya left them there, but she was apparently nice enough to plug in my phone for me. Once I had my phone in hand I called the store.

"Kate's Bookstore, how can I help you?" Irina asked.

Irina's there? I haven't worked with her yet; I wonder why she's there. Didn't Tanya say I was working with Kate today?

"It's Bella, I wanted to know what time I come in." I asked or more like said.

"You should have been in an hour ago, you were supposed to open." Irina said in a very calm voice.

I guess Kate isn't there, because if she was, I'm sure she would say something about me being late since I'm never late.

"I'm really sorry; I'm on my way over now."

After saying goodbye, I hung up the phone and raced around my room to get ready for work. In retrospect I shouldn't have 'raced' around, because that only caused me to trip at least six times and made it so that even with 'rushing' I still left at the same time I would have if I hadn't tried to rush.

I made my way to the kitchen to grab a granola bar for breakfast when I ran into Charlie. Literally, I ran into him. I tripped on my own feet and ran into his back. Luckily he's a lot sturdier than I am or we would have fallen to the floor.

"Sorry Dad." I said as I grabbed my breakfast.

"It's no problem Bells. What's got you in a hurry though?" Charlie asked as he refilled his coffee cup for what I'm guessing will be his last cup.

"I'm late for work. I totally forgot that I opened today. So I've got to go, I'll see you when I get home. Bye Dad!" I yelled as I carefully and as quickly as I could as I left the house.

I drove as fast as the truck would let me to work and parked in one of the few parking spots the store had to offer. Once parked, I walked quickly into the store. At the counter was both Irina and Kate. Irina was reading a fashion magazine of some sort and Kate was leaning on the counter looking at me with a huge grin.

I hesitantly took the last seat behind the counter and started to open my food.

"Sorry I'm late, I over slept." I said. It wasn't a total lie. I really don't like to sleep in that late. I really don't want to tell them I forgot to come in.

"It's okay Bella, I'm sure you had really good reasons as to why you slept in." Irina said, still flipping through her magazine.

"I was just really tired from waking up early to drop Jake off at the airport and from last night." I know they know I had a date with their sister, so I'm not even going to try and cover it up; there's really no reason to anyways.

"Last night? I thought all you two did was eat and dance?" Irina asked, sounding a little more interested in the conversation.

Kate still leaned against the counter with a huge grin, saying nothing. I almost feel like I'm walking into a trap, but I don't know what it would be.

"Well ya, but I didn't get home until later. So that in combination with being up early knocked me out." I answered.

"I have a better theory as to why you over slept." Kate finally spoke up.

I gave her a suspicious look; I know she's up to something. She has to be; it wouldn't be Kate if she wasn't up to something.

"I think you and Tanya had so much sex that your poor body just couldn't handle it." Kate said bluntly.

My face went bright red at her comment. Because of the shock of her saying that, I wasn't able to immediately defend myself. Irina put down her magazine, looked at Kate and talked when I couldn't.

"It would explain why Tanya said she had to change Bella into her pajamas. The poor thing was so tired after what I'm sure was a very exhilarating sex session that Bella must have passed out." Irina mused.

I didn't think it could, but my face went a little redder. Well, at least now I know why Kate didn't say anything when I called earlier. She was waiting until I got here to say something and didn't trust herself to not say anything in the mean-time.

"So Bella, tell us, how good is Tanya in bed? I'm sure she's amazing, she's only had centuries to practice." Kate said.

Both of them were now looking at me, waiting for an answer. My mouth was slightly open out of complete shock and surprise at all that they said. I know they're messing with me; but it's still embarrassing to hear.

"We didn't do anything." I said while trying not to blush anymore.

"You mean you didn't have sex?" Irina asked and I nodded. She didn't sound surprised at all.

"Told you; you should have changed outfits. If you had worn something different, I'm sure you would have gotten Tanya in your bed." Kate said with a smirk.

"I'm sure Tanya would get in her bed no matter what she's wearing." Irina said with a smirk of her own now.

"But on a serious note; tell us everything." Kate said, leaning forward over the counter while resting her chin in her clasped hands.

"Didn't Tanya already tell you?" I asked, slightly confused.

She's their sister; she had to have told them everything. I'm sure she told the whole Denali family actually. I doubt Kate would have let her go through the whole night without telling anyone anything.

"Of course she did; now it's your turn." Irina said.

"We want to hear both sides of the story." Kate said.

I smiled at them both before I told them everything. It felt like I had Alice back again with everything I was telling them. Alice was the only friend I've gotten close enough to that I could tell everything I wanted or needed to. Both Kate and Irina let them tell them everything they already knew. I even complained to Irina about Kate. Kate tried to defend herself; but Irina would nothing of it and sided with me in saying that Kate is very obnoxious and doesn't even have to try to be so.

I spent almost an hour going over everything with them. I told them what events happened and even what I was feeling when those events did happen. I was so into the conversation and telling them everything that I told them about how I kept comparing Tanya to Edward. Thankfully Tanya and Kate had told the remaining Denali's what had happened, so I didn't have to fill Irina in.

"I'm glad to hear that Edward is nothing compared to Tanya." Irina said when I was finally done telling them everything.

"You should tell her; I'm sure she would enjoy the compliment." Kate said.

"I don't think I will; I don't think she would appreciate knowing that I compared her to my ex." I said.

"I don't think she would mind; would you Tanya?" Kate asked.

In the next second, before I could even get my face to form a proper confused look, Tanya was next to me with her arm over my shoulder.

"I wouldn't; as long as I come out on top." Tanya said with a smirk.

"I can only picture Bella being on the bottom. You definitely wear the pants in your relationship Tanya." Irina said while picking up her magazine to start reading it again.

My face went bright red again. I had honestly hoped Tanya would have stopped teasing me like she did when we first met; but I guess she just didn't want Kate to at that time.

"So, what do owe the honor of your presence here?" Kate asked as she stood from the counter and moved to lean against a book shelf that wasn't too far from the counter.

"I came to see if Bella would like to join me for some lunch. Are you hungry Bella?" Tanya asked.

"Eating even more human food Tanya? I'm starting to think you actually like eating the stuff." Irina said while making a face that clearly showed her disgust for human food.

"I won't be eating human food anytime soon, I promise. Sorry Bella, you'll be the only one eating; but I would love to keep you company." Tanya said.

"Sure, I guess I could eat something." I said after glancing at the clock. It was actually around two o'clock already. I guess I slept in later than I thought and talked a lot longer than I thought as well.

"Wait a second, she's my employee, I can't just let her leave in the middle of her shift." Kate said, actually sounding serious.

"You'll let her go Kate or I'll ruin all the pranks you have lined up for her." Tanya said with a smirk.

"You wouldn't dare." Kate said, sounding very offended that Tanya would even suggest what she said.

"You know I would." Tanya said sounding very amused.

"Fine, go on Bella. Leave me and Irina to run this store on our own." Kate said in an overly dramatic tone.

"I'm not going to be staying Kate; I only came here to talk with Bella. Now that I've talked with her, I'm leaving to go hunt." Irina said then was gone from my sight.

"See what you've done Tanya. Now I'm stuck all alone in this store with nothing to do because you made all my employees leave." Kate said trying to sound mad, but failing at it since she had a huge smirk on her face.

"Ya, because Irina was your employee; I would love to see you tell that to her face." Tanya said.

Tanya then grabbed my hand and started leading me towards the exit.

"You have work next on Tuesday Bella! I should also tell you that you didn't actually have work today." Kate said as the door shut behind me.

I didn't have work? But didn't Tanya's note say that…

"Tanya?" I asked as we walked to my truck.

"I only did that because Kate and Irina both wanted to talk to you right away. It was either: get you to come in today or wake up with both of them sitting in your room." Tanya said while opening my door for me to get in. Tanya continued talking when she got in on the passenger side. "I figured having you come in to work would probably be the better choice. The note was Kate's idea and to be honest, I thought it was funny so I went along with it." Tanya admitted.

Tanya then directed me to small restaurant that I haven't been to yet and we had lunch together. Rather, I ate lunch and Tanya just talked with me. I was able to apologize for falling asleep on the ride home and she apologized for Kate's remarks today. She didn't actually know what Kate said until I told her after she apologized for Kate; but Tanya said that with knowing Kate it was basically a given that something inappropriate was said.

Once I was done eating, Tanya made sure that she paid the bill and we finally left alone in our booth to talk about whatever it is that we wanted to talk about. We ended up getting into a deep conversation about a book, my favorite book Wuthering Heights. I'm not sure how we got on the topic but we did. Throughout the conversation we kept getting closer and closer; each of us leaning over the table. It wasn't until I could feel Tanya's breath on face that I realized how close we were.

I was in mid-sentence when I came to my senses about how close we were. Instead of backing up though to sit straight up in my seat, I just froze. I continued looking at Tanya. I found myself looking down towards her lips. Once my eyes found her lips; Tanya slowly licked her lips… she knows I'm looking at her.

Slower than I thought I could, I started to lean forward. With my eyes completely focused on Tanya's lips, I'm surprised I noticed anything else around me. With just a fraction of space left between us I heard some loud people come into the restaurant. It wasn't the noise that distracted me, but rather who it was that caught my attention.

"I swear Grace, it happened just like that. I wouldn't lie about that stuff." Zach said.

I couldn't hear Grace's response because she wasn't yelling like Zach was. Zach's voice pulled me from the trance I had fallen into and I immediately sat back in my seat. I glanced to where I heard Zach's voice and saw him and Grace approaching our area. I looked back to Tanya and she looked really pissed. I can see her eyes darkening fast; she looked like she was doing all she could to keep them from going black.

I was going to talk to her, to ask her why she's so mad, really I just wanted to do anything to get her to calm down. But before I could, someone was talking to us.

"Bella, Ms. Denali? You guys here together?" Zach asked sounding surprised.

A/N: Oh no, student and teacher possibly caught almost kissing; that can't bode well.
