A/N: I have a confession. Emmett might be my favorite comic relief for a story. His character is just so lovably dense sometimes. Keep that in mind here at the beginning.
I do not own Twilight or Harry Potter, I just play with the characters.
ALICE
"Dude, today is Friday. We won't be seeing Bella until Monday. Don't forget that Charlie is out of town this weekend," Emmett waggles his eyebrows at Edward.
"What, exactly, are you trying to say?" acid drips from Edward's words.
"I think you know what I'm saying. Bella and boyfriend will be holed up all weekend," Emmett just keeps on going.
"Fat lot of help you three are," Edward turns his attention at the rest of us.
"I might help out if I don't die laughing," Jazz manages to get out in between fits of chuckles.
Rose and I have collapsed in a pile of giggles that do not allow us to get any words out. Leave it to Emmett to be amazingly dense about his words and their affect on Edward. I guess he could be trying to get under Edward's skin, but that is not Emmett's style at all. This is just priceless.
EDWARD
I can't kill my brother. Emmett does not mean to be this insensitive. He is just happy that Bella is happy. Besides, Carlisle might be upset if I kill him. Esme definitely will be upset. I can't do that to them.
"I'm heading to Alaska for the weekend," I huff as I head out the door. Their laughter follows me. This weekend is going to be an eternity.
BELLA
"No worries. Charlie is gone for the weekend," I say as I pull Draco in the house after me.
"I wasn't worried. Charlie loves me," he plops his bag on the floor.
"He tolerates you. I am the one that loves you," I roll my eyes. Draco pulls me to him.
"The one that matters loves me then. And I love her too," he whispers. There go those damn shivers again.
"Are you trying to sweet talk me?" I give him an innocent look that is complete with big eyes. I can feel his heart beat faster.
"That's where I'm starting," he brushes his lips against mine.
"I'm on my guard against you. We haven't even caught up yet and already you are trying to seduce me. My girlfriend senses are tingling," I realize that I actually made a valid point at the same time that Draco does.
"I'd like to make you tingle," he does not skip a beat.
Damn him and those amazing eyes. He holds me closer and gently closes the gap between our mouths. I sigh. This is heaven. His tongue lightly runs along my lower lip, asking permission. My mouth opens of its own accord. I briefly struggle to remember what we were supposed to be doing. The moment his tongue starts to dance with mine all coherent thoughts flee from my head. The only things that matter are the way this gorgeous man makes me feel and how I make him feel.
ROSALIE
I can't believe what I am seeing. That bitch is taking advantage of Edward in his time of pain. I knew that his trip to Alaska was a bad idea. We all got very serious a couple of minutes after Edward sulked out of the house. I know that was because Jasper realized the seriousness of the situation. Sometimes his gift is a pain in the ass, but he did a good thing by deflating the mirth when he did. At least I know they aren't going at it like rabbits. Edward would really hate himself after he realized what he had done…and with whom he had done it.
ALICE
"Edward, you can't possibly think that bringing her here would make the fact that Bella really is happy and in love with her blonde boyfriend any more tolerable for you," I hiss once we are out of hearing range. Thankfully I convinced him to go hunting with me and Jazz while Rose and Emmett detain Tanya.
"Alice, I like Tanya. She is a good friend," is his response. I simply cannot hold in my snort.
"You can be such an idiot sometimes. Really, it is painful to watch," I add.
"If you are suggesting what I think you are suggesting…" he starts.
"You know she does not feel the same way about you that you feel about her. That bitch has been trying to bed you since the first time she laid eyes on you. It is really cruel to try and pull the friend card. She just wants to find a way to snare you and if it takes a low action during a time when you are clearly depressed, then so be it," I practically explode. Jazz squeezes my hand to calm me down without using his gift.
EDWARD
The weekend has finally ended. I really did not expect Tanya to follow me home. She is being very understanding, all things considered. I know that Alice is right, but something inside me just won't let my friendship with Tanya fade away. Maybe I judged her too quickly. My whole life I have been judging things too quickly. Rose can attest to how big an ass I can be by judging quickly and being vocal about my decision.
"Edward?" Tanya interrupts my thoughts.
"Is there something on your mind?" I grin a bit at my unintentional joke.
"I think it's time that I headed back home. I know that it has not even been a day, but this whole thing just feels wrong to me. I want you to choose me for your mate, but not when you are in such a funk about another woman. I think it is best for you if I just disappear," she surprises me with that.
"But…" I try and think of something I can say that will make her stay. I need her to make this whole mess alright.
"No, I don't want to be your silver medal. I don't want you to come and visit me either. At least not until you can say that you feel the same way about me as I feel about you," she looks like she wants to cry.
With that as her goodbye, Tanya ran back to Alaska. Alice might be wrong. Tanya didn't try and trap me into a relationship with her. She just gave me an ultimatum. I am so confused. I find myself really interested in Bella despite myself. I can't bring myself to try a relationship with Tanya despite the fact that she likes me in spite of my ass-ish tendencies. I need to talk with Carlisle about this.
A/N: I have made a decision that some of you might not like. Draco and Bella are going to be really solid as a couple...at least for now. Fear not, Edward will meet someone. Things might change later, we'll see how things progress. Anyway, does anyone else think bitch when they think of Tanya? I don't know why, but I have always felt that way about her. I might have changed her a bit to fit this chapter. Any feelings on her speech of sorts? Thanks for reading! Review if you please.
