Family dinners had always been something I tried to avoid. I mean who honestly wants to be trapped with their relatives for hours at a time? Usually I could find any excuse to skip a family dinner, but today it was technically a family dinner with Leah's family and as her fake fiancée I had no other choice than to attend. If I had known who would be there or what would occur I would have made up some horrible story about how my grandmother had died or something because this nightmare was worse than I could have ever imagined. Though I am not sure how well my excuse would have worked because my parents were at this dinner and if my grandmother had died I don't think they would be all gung ho to have a family dinner.

We had been informed hours before the event that Leah's friend Jacob Black would be bringing a date and not only would her ex and cousin by there, but my parents, my sister, and her fiancée were all going to be there as well. This was going to be the dinner from hell. I could not believe Alice had gone behind my back in order to make all of this possible. That damn little pixie always had to have a hand in other people's business or else she wasn't happy. I was going to make sure both Leah and myself got free booze for the rest of our lives because of this. She was my sister so how could she do this to me? Why would she torment me in such a way? My latest theory is because she is really the spawn of Satan.

When we arrived at Sue's house I saw my parent's car, Jasper's motorcycle, and a couple other vehicles I did not recognize in the driveway. I parked beside my brother in law to be and wondered how pissed he would be if I accidently scratched his bike with the door of my Volvo. Maybe that would teach him to keep my sister under control. "I hate my sister sometimes."

My fake fiancée opened the car door with a sigh. She looked very professional today with black slacks and a nice blue button up blouse. Since I knew for a fact she was not dressing up for me I could only guess she wanted to make her mother eat the words she had spoken over the phone the night previous. "I hate your sister too at times. Now remember what I told you, no matter what Sam does to try and bait you do not let it get to you. Smile and nod is the best way to get under his skin and trust me when I say that I know this better than anyone."

We headed up the porch steps where my Quilette roommates little brother opened the door and helped us inside. Introductions were made after I greeted my parents and tried to light my sister on fire with my eyes. We were then introduced to Leah's ex Sam Uley and her cousin Emily. When I first laid eyes on Emily I had to look at Leah again because I honestly did not see how this man if you had to go on looks only, could pick Emily over Leah. It was no contest in my mind. This guy was so obviously an idiot and I was going to show him what he lost because I am just a jackass like that.

"It is a pleasure to meet you." I stated after shaking his hand. I wrapped my arms around my feisty fake fiancées waist and propped my head up against her shoulder. "I have heard so much about you."

"All good things I hope." The big man with tanned skin said with a smile and I just raised my eyebrow with a cocky smirk.

"Wouldn't you like to know?" I replied before taking Leah by the hand and going in to the kitchen. That would leave him stumped for a while. He wouldn't know if I had been joking or not. Sometimes I really loved being an asshole because at times it did have its advantages.

We made our way in to the kitchen only to find a surprise waiting for us. I felt my jaw hit the floor and my first instinct was to walk forward and punch the man who I think Leah just told me was named Jacob Black in the face. Introductions when it came to him were not needed. I knew who this douchebag was and his date was very familiar to me as well. Isabella fucking Swan and Jacob fucking Black had to be the surprise pair. This dinner was going to suck major ass. Of all the people Leah had to be friends with, the guy my ex had fucked while still with me had never crossed my mind.

Suddenly Jasper was behind me grabbing my arms and yanking me outside. He told everyone that he needed a smoke and since smoking was not allowed in the house we were going outside. Only Leah, my-self, Alice, and maybe the surprise pair knew the truth. Once were outside I turned on my brother. "Did you know about this shit? Did you know she was going to be here?"

The honey blond pulled out two smokes and hand one to me. "Of course I had no idea and neither did Alice. Do you really think we would have let you come unprepared if we had known Bella was going to be here? Do you think I'm happy seeing the bitch who tried to tear Alice and me apart? Use your head for once and realize that we were just as shocked as you are."

I never got a chance to say anything in return because Leah came and walked right past us with Sam Uley on her heels. Jasper and I started to follow knowing that this could not be good. I just wanted dinner to ready now so that we could eat and get this the fuck over with.

TBC…

AN: Another chapter and yes it is short and before the dinner, but I thought that it worked better this way. Let me know if you all liked this chapter or not and in the next chapter you get to see what Sam thinks of Leah marrying a white boy.
