A/N – Stephenie Meyer owns Twilight and all it's characters.

So, mega thanks for the reviews I love them all, each and every one. To the reviewers who have been consistently kind and generous to me, I appreciate you massively.

I'm gonna stop saying I don't like my chapters or they're not the best, because I'm not fishing for compliments, (although they are nice!) I just sometimes worry my story will disappoint. But I finally realised people are either going to like what I write or they won't and that's ok. I can't change that.

Wendemyre, I get at least two thirds of the confidence I need to post chapters from you. So thank you. x

Kitty Vuitton put my story on 'The Lemonade Stand' again, so thank you to her. It would be lovely if you voted, there are a couple of days left I think.

This chapter is a bit of light fluff really, lots of Edward and Bella being happy together, mainly because I had way too much fun with a foul mouthed Cullen wedding.

Oh, and I probably should mention that what Edward said last chapter is the nearest I'll ever get to the 'New Moon, Edward leaves Bella for her own good' nonsense. I hated that shit in the books, so I'd certainly never write it and I hope you all got that this Bella would never stand for it.

Anyway I've harped on long enough. I hope you enjoy. x

Chapter 14

The following morning I was fitted for a dress, which was put on a rush order to be made and delivered. It was a beautiful strapless lilac gown that fell to the floor with a cream sash under my bust. It matched Alice's and I honestly couldn't wait to wear it and stand up next to Rose and her family to help celebrate her marriage.

The wedding preparations had sped up and thankfully my dad was letting me spend plenty of time with Rose, so I could help out. He'd been a bit hesitant about letting me travel to Seattle again for the wedding, he knew that we were all going this time and he was concerned about Edward and I being left to our own devices with no parental supervision, but Esme had called him and reassured him that she would be with me at all times and that the boys were going to be staying in a separate hotel. He eventually agreed, providing I met up with Jake while I was in town.

Because Aro had been invited to the original ceremony and Rose didn't want anything happening to ruin her big day, she had decided to move the date forward by a couple of days, it was causing everyone involved a massive headache, but Rose didn't care and the name Cullen seemed to be able to persuade most people to get things done. The wedding reception was being held in Alec's hotel so that made things marginally easier.

It had been several weeks since Aro had been seen. Alec was hopeful that he'd left the country, but Marcus and Edward weren't so sure, they thought he was biding his time. One of the men high up in the Cullen family had turned up dead and Edward said that Marcus was still undercutting Aro on deals and that a few of Aro's clubs had been raided and forced to shut down.

It all went a little over my head, but while it was out of sight and Edward wasn't being shot at, I didn't worry too much about it. Sam and Embry had been joined by another two men, so I was watched around the clock. It must have been awfully boring for them, because if I wasn't at the Cullen house, I was at home.

Marcus was still insisting Edward stayed at the house, and Edward was going a little stir crazy. He was ridiculously excited about going to Seattle and I think he was just looking forward to a change of scenery because he really wasn't all that enthusiastic when Rose tried to get him to help with any of the wedding plans.

Time was running out to tell my father about the Cullen's, but everyone agreed it was better to wait until after the wedding, just in case he freaked out and stopped me going. The trouble was, that only left us a few days to tell him between Rose getting married and Jake starting his rotation in the Organised Crime division, and we hadn't even discussed what it was we were going to tell him.

Jake called me every week and filled me in on what he was doing, he was having a great time and loving the faster pace of Seattle, he sounded really happy. He'd met a girl who was on the same course as him and they had been out a few times, he sounded totally smitten and I was pleased for him, he was over the moon when I told him I was going to be in Seattle and I arranged to meet him for lunch the day after the wedding.

The Cullen's and I were sat at the dinner table one night when the subject of what to tell my dad came up again.

"I think we'll have to tell him about Alice." Jasper said to everyone.

Rose and Esme nodded and I looked at Edward for an explanation.

"Alice was bullied at school when people found out we were Cullen's, she was so traumatised by what happened that she doesn't talk anymore." he explained solemnly as Alice burst into tears right at the table.

"That's why we use fake surnames when we meet new people, so they don't judge us before they know us." Jasper added sadly as he comforted a distressed Alice.

"It's why I moved us all to Forks. I wanted my children to have a chance at a normal life, away from the stigma attached to being a Cullen." Esme said teary eyed. "After what happened to Alice in Seattle…."

"Oh that's awful, I'm so sorry, I didn't know." I gasped.

"It's not true Little B!" Emmett laughed and Alice winked at me, instantly going back to looking totally fine. "Cat's fucking deadly, the kids at school are shit scared of her. St Martha's is full of rich little preppy fuckers, just the name Cullen has them pissing their ridiculously expensive pants."

"Huh…" I stared at them confused.

"People are suckers for tiny, silent, upset Alice." Rose explained. "Esme will take Alice when she goes to talk to your dad, she'll explain that we're Cullen's, but that we lied because of Alice, Alice will turn on the tears and he'll fall for it hook, line and sinker."

"You think?" I asked.

"You did and you know why we really lied." Rose shrugged.

I nodded, dumbfounded at how easily and well they could lie, it was scary how convincing they were.

"Esme is the queen of bullshitters, she'll convince your dad that we moved to Forks to stay away from Marcus, that we have nothing to do with the family business and that we're really all a bunch of happy normal teenagers. He's met us and we've all played our parts, it won't be that much of a stretch to get him to believe."

"Take Emmett for example, you think your dad would ever believe he's really a criminal mastermind? He's met the dumb fucker." Edward smirked.

"Hey!" Emmett yelled at him.

"I was complimenting your superior acting skills Em."

"Really?" Emmett asked looking pleased.

"No!" Edward cracked up. "You're such a dick!"

"Fuck you! You think Chief Swans going to let Little B have all these sleepovers with Rose once he finds out we all live in the same house?" That stopped Edward's laughter rather abruptly.

"Fuck!" Edward looked at me and I shrugged, Emmett was probably right.

"Damn E, that's some rotten luck right there." Jasper smirked at him and Alice giggled as Edward gave him the finger.

"Shit, E's gonna be a proper bitch to live with if that happens." Rose moaned.

"Well luckily everyone's had a lot of practice with that, what with you having lived here for years Rose." Edward shot her a fake smile.

"Ooh! Nice one." Jasper laughed.

"Go fuck yourself E." Rose said arching her eyebrow at him. "I guess you'll be doing a lot of that once Bella can't stay the night." She added smirking.

"That's my girl." Emmett cheered and high-fived her.

"You see why it won't be that hard to pass this lot off as a bunch of normal teenagers." Esme said to me and I snorted.

"Do you really think my dad will fall for this, 'we're just normal teenagers' act?" I asked Edward when we went to bed that night.

"It's not an act, we are normal teenagers." He laughed.

"You know what I mean."

"I don't know Princess." he sighed. "I hope so." He pulled me onto his chest and kissed my forehead.

"What are we going to do if he goes mad and tries to stop me seeing you?" I knew I couldn't give him up and I didn't know what I'd do if my dad wanted me to.

"I'll kidnap you and keep you locked in a tower like a real Princess." He shrugged and I'm not totally sure that he was joking.

"Where are Rose and Jasper's parents?" I'd often wondered and with all the wedding preparations, it was odd that no one had mentioned them.

I felt him tense underneath me and I lifted my head so I could look at him.

"They were killed." He voice was hard, his jaw was tight and his eyes were cold and empty.

"Sorry, I shouldn't have brought it up." I said, because it had clearly upset him. I felt him take a couple of deep breaths and he tightened his arms around me.

"It's fine, you were bound to wonder." He said more normally. "It was a long time ago, Rose and Jazz have lived with us since they were twelve."

"Oh!" Rose had told me they all grew up together, I just hadn't realised it was under the same roof. Judging from Edward's reaction there was obviously more to the story than that, but he clearly wasn't in the mood to talk about it so I let it go and rested my head back on his shoulder.

"I'll tell you about it another time, it's a long story." Edward promised and I nodded. I wasn't going to push him to tell me something that might be painful for him.

I spent the next couple of nights at home as I was going to be away for a few days. I cooked a load of meals for my dad and Esme sent over some desserts so I knew he would be well fed while I was out of town. I finalised my plans with Jake, knowing it was going to be the last time I saw him before he found out about Edward's family. I didn't know how he was going to react to that news, but I couldn't imagine him being pleased.

Rose and Emmett had headed to Seattle a few days before the wedding to get things organised and Edward and I travelled the day before the ceremony, we took his new car, Jasper had finally done, whatever it was he did, to it, so it was safe for Edward to drive and he couldn't have been happier.

That evening, we all went out for an early dinner before Rose demanded we get back to the hotel for an early night because she wanted us all looking our best for the following day. I was beyond pleased to be back in Edward's suite, it was so luxurious and comfortable and I had Edward to myself for a little while.

"I could totally live here." I said to him as we relaxed on the sofa in front of the T.V.

"Yeah?"

"Uh huh, just me and you, it's like a little apartment. I like it." I sighed.

"Did you ever look into going to college in Seattle?"

"A bit, at the time I was desperate to get away from Forks so I never really considered it." I admitted.

"Do they run the course you want?"

"Yeah, it's got a great English department."

"Well, uh, you could always apply, and if you got in, then maybe next year we could stay here for a bit, or get a place, I could work with Alec." He said nervously.

"Are you kidding me?" I asked excitedly.

"Uh, no. I mean, it's an option you could look into, if you want Princess."

"I would freaking love that!"

"Really?" He said surprised.

I launched myself at him and kissed him desperately and after he got over the shock he responded enthusiastically.

"You don't think it's too soon for us to make a plan like that?" I asked gasping, as I pulled away from him.

"Nope." He said simply and I kissed him again, because I loved this boy, so much it was crazy. Maybe it was too soon to make plans together for next year, but if he wanted to, who was I to argue. I honestly couldn't imagine my life without him.

I let him push me back so I was lying down on the couch and he situated himself above me.

"We're supposed to get an early night." I told him as he pushed up my sweater.

"I'll be quick." He smirked devilishly.

"Here?" I asked. Edward and I had had a lot of sex, I swear to god he was almost permanently horny, but it had always been in his bedroom.

"Here." He nodded.

"If I look like crap tomorrow, I'm telling Rose it was your fault." I smiled, as I fumbled with his fly.

"I could fuck you all night and you'd still look beautiful in the morning Princess." He promised, pulling the cup of my bra down and kissing down my chest until he had my nipple in his mouth.

"You say the sweetest things when you want to get laid." I laughed as I freed him from his boxers.

In the last month we had spent a lot of time getting to know each other in and out of the bedroom. We were closer than ever, and that had only extended into our physical relationship. All my inhibitions had vanished as we'd become more familiar and comfortable with each other.

"But I mean them all." He smiled as he yanked my jeans and panties down far enough that I could wiggle out of them.

With Edward's house being so busy, we had gotten the quickie down to a fine art. Edward seemed to be able to play my body however he wanted. He could spend all night showing me how much he loved me, teasing me for hours until I was on the brink of madness, but when we didn't have much time, he could have me falling apart in minutes.

He rubbed himself between my legs a few times before leaning down to kiss me as he entered me, sliding into me slowly and moaning.

I met him thrust for thrust as he picked up his pace, my head was hitting the arm of the sofa and he repositioned us as soon as he realised what was happening. Although Edward could be rough, he was always careful not to hurt me.

It didn't take long before I was trembling and gasping his name and I clung to him until he found his own release.

"Fuck!" he said as he collapsed on top of me. "It just gets better and better." He kissed me firmly and pulled out, sitting up so I wasn't crushed underneath him.

"That was new." I smiled as I righted my bra and pulled my sweater down looking around for my panties.

"Sofa sex." He laughed. "I like it." He handed me my underwear and pulled his boxers and jeans back up.

"We should go to bed." I told him.

"Good Lord you're insatiable woman."

"To sleep!" I rolled my eyes at him. "We've got a big day tomorrow."

We picked up our discarded clothes and headed to the bedroom, I pulled on some shorts and we clambered into bed. I snuggled up to him and he wrapped his arm around me.

"Did you mean it, about living here next year?"

"Of course." He shrugged. "It'd be nice to live in Seattle again."

"With me?"

"No, with the other girl I'm seeing." He snorted and I smacked him in the chest. He pulled me up so he could kiss me. "We can go wherever you want Princess." He whispered and I rested my head on his shoulder, yawning contentedly.

"I like the idea of Seattle." I told him. In my mind it was the perfect solution, I could be with Edward, we could have our own space, he could still work for the family and I could still go to a good college, plus we wouldn't be too far from Forks and his family or my dad.

"Hmmn, me too." He said lazily playing with my hair until I drifted off.

The next morning we were rudely awoken by Rose storming into the bedroom at an ungodly hour.

"What the fuck." Edward groaned as she pulled open the curtains and let in daylight. "How the hell did you get in here?"

"Alec gave me the key. You were supposed to be up an hour ago you lazy fuckers." She smirked. "E, Emmett is waiting for you downstairs. Bella, you need to shower. Come on, up you get." She clapped her hands.

"Fuck off Rose."

"E, it's my wedding day, you have to do anything I want."

"Do I fuck." Edward scoffed.

"Bella, you have five minutes, say goodbye to E. You'll see him in at two." Rose said smugly.

"What!" we both said at the same time.

"You heard." She nodded. "Five minutes until I send Alice in here." She turned and left the room.

"This is not what I signed up for Edward." I said glaring at him.

"I know Princess, but they'll be gone for two whole weeks after today." He grinned, reaching over to kiss me. Emmett had told Edward where he was taking Rose on honeymoon but Edward refused to tell me, I was desperate to know, as was Rose, but they were both remaining tight lipped.

I showered and headed over to Roses room, where I was met by Esme who held out a steaming cup of coffee for me.

"I love you Esme." I told her honestly and she laughed.

We spent hours getting ready, there were hairdressers and make-up artists and people employed solely to dress us, even though we had all been dressing ourselves for years, apparently that wasn't good enough for Rose.

A photographer was hanging around snapping shots here and there and when we were finally all dressed he took some posed shots.

Rose looked beautiful, she had opted for a very modern dress that was cream with lilac detailing, it fitted her perfectly. Alice and I matched and Esme had followed the colour scheme and was wearing a lovely lilac dress that was slightly less formal than ours.

The photographer took off to get some shots of Emmett and the boys before the ceremony and when everyone had cleared out of Rose's suite, Esme hugged us.

"Girl's, you all look beyond beautiful."

We had a glass of champagne and toasted Rose.

Esme turned to me. "You look lovely Bella, I know you could have turned your back on Edward and everything this family is, but you haven't, and knowing Edward has you here with him, that he has someone to share this day with, it means….,"

"He won't be a moody fuck the entire day, and he might manage to crack a fucking smile for the photos?" Rose interrupted her laughing.

"That's not quite what I was going to say Rose." Esme rolled her eyes. "It means a lot to me, to all of us." She kissed my cheek.

Carlisle came and got us when it was time for the ceremony, and we travelled by limo to a large catholic church in the middle of the city. There were several men in suits standing outside, looking like they were on watch and they nodded at us as we made our way inside.

We stopped in the lobby and I stood beside Alice as Esme checked us both over and kissed us both on the cheek, before she left to take her seat.

I couldn't help trying to peek as the inner doors opened to see if I could catch a glimpse of Edward but I had no such luck, all I could see were the backs of several heads.

"Ok, let's do this." Rose smiled. "Alice, hide your gun better, I can see it when you walk." Alice adjusted herself, I never would have even noticed she was carrying a weapon, but Rose obviously had a better eye for that kind of thing. "Bella, just try not to fall."

"No pressure then." I rolled my eyes.

She laughed and gave someone a signal and the music started. The doors were opened and Alice and I began our walk down the aisle. It felt like a thousand people turned to watch me and I was desperately concentrating on walking in time with Alice, trying not to feel too self-conscious.

When I had my nerves under control, I looked up and immediately wished I hadn't. Edward was stood with Emmett and Jasper, all three of them were in matching tuxes and Edward looked so ridiculously handsome I nearly stopped just to gawk at him.

He smiled when he caught my eye and I couldn't help smiling back. I also couldn't help thinking about what it might be like to be walking down the aisle towards him at our own wedding, but I quickly shut the thought down, it was far, far, too soon to think about things like that, but I couldn't imagine anyone else waiting at the altar for me when I pictured it in my mind.

As we walked up the last few steps towards Emmett, he lunged forward and hugged us both.

"Cat, Little B, looking hot." He winked as he released us.

"Hell yeah!" Jasper agreed taking Alice's hand.

The Priest who was standing with them rolled his eyes.

Edward took my hand and kissed me on the cheek as he pulled me to stand in front of him.

"Holy shit Princess, you look fucking fantastic!"

The priest cleared his throat and raised his eyebrow sternly.

"What? She does." Edward shrugged and I blushed.

"Come on E, he's just jealous of us. You know he took a vow of celibacy to get this gig." Jasper smirked and Alice giggled.

"Jesus Christ that must really suck Father Matt." Emmett laughed.

"Why did I agree to this?" The priest shook his head.

"For the inordinate amount of money you're getting paid?" Edward suggested.

"Because you've had a crush on Rose since she grew boobs when she was thirteen?" Emmett asked.

"It certainly wasn't so you could score at the reception." Jasper snickered.

"I always knew you boys would never come good." The priest turned his back on us, and found something to fiddle with at the altar.

"Father Matthews was our teacher back in high school." Edward whispered and I nodded in understanding. "Motherfucker always hated us." He added and I tried desperately hard not to giggle.

I don't know why I had assumed that because this was a wedding the Cullen's would act differently to normal. I should have known they wouldn't.

When the wedding march started playing, everyone stood and we waited for the doors to open.

Rose and Carlisle entered and several people gasped. They made a spectacular sight. Rose beamed as she made her way down the aisle. Emmett was mesmerised by his bride and it was quite emotional to watch how utterly in love with her he was.

They had a traditional service and they both recited traditional vows. Esme dabbed her eyes throughout the whole ceremony and when it was time for Emmett to kiss his bride he did so enthusiastically and slightly inappropriately until Jasper muttered. "He said kiss, not fuck." And Edward burst out laughing.

We followed them back down the aisle and posed for several photos outside the church before heading back to the hotel.

Rose and Emmett had some pictures taken together while we had a champagne reception, then it was time for the group shots which took hours, there were hundreds of people in attendance.

The guests were ushered inside and I watched as Rose and Emmett had pictures taken with every different combination of the wedding party.

It was disarming when the Cullen men lined up for their photo. The resemblance between Marcus, Alec, Carlisle and Edward was uncanny.

"I want one with the whole family." Marcus insisted when they were done and I watched as everyone gathered around Marcus.

Edward looked around for me. "Princess, what are you doing over there?" He frowned.

"Oh, well…,uh, I'm just…." I wasn't sure if they wanted me in the picture.

"Get your fine ass over here young lady." Marcus grinned at me and I laughed.

Edward stalked over to me and swept me into his arms bridal style. "When are you going to realise you're part of this family Princess?" He asked shaking his head, but smiling.

I posed with them for several shots, and then Edward and I had some photos taken of the two of us.

"Ok, can I have the best man and the bride?" the photographer asked and Edward and Rose stood together awkwardly. "A bit closer." He instructed and I'm pretty sure they both groaned.

"You couldn't find a fucking hairbrush E?" Rose was still smiling for the camera as she asked.

"Of course I could, I chose not to." Edward laughed.

"I gave you pictures of how I wanted your hair."

"I'd look like a total dick if I did my hair the way you wanted it. Seriously it was a fucking comb over."

"It was not a comb over it was a side parting." She gritted out smiling, as she leaned into him at the photographer's direction.

"I don't give a shit what you call it. It was fucking ridiculous."

"It's my fucking wedding." She said as the photographer told Edward to put his arm around her.

"It's my fucking hair." He shrugged as he did as he was asked.

I laughed at the two of them as they continued to argue as they posed for several shots, looking completely happy and beautiful as they cursed up a storm, and threw a string of foul mouthed insults at each other.

Finally the photographer let them go and Rose went off to take some photos with Jasper and Alice.

"Fuck me that was excruciating." Edward moaned. "I get that you'd want a few photos of your wedding but, shit, what the fuck do you need a million for?"

"It's so she can choose the best ones." I rolled my eyes at him.

"Well that should be easy."

"Yeah?"

"Yeah, it'll be all the ones with you in." he winked at me.

"You know, that was incredibly cheesy."

"Eh" he shrugged. "It's a wedding." He pulled me into his arms and kissed me.

"If you mess up my hair or make-up Rose will go mad." I told him.

"I know." He snickered and kissed me again. "But it's her own fault for making you look so truly ravishing."

"I think I like cheesy Edward." I laughed.

"Don't get used to him, he's reserved for special occasions." He smiled, taking my hand and leading me into the dining room.

We all ate a gorgeous meal, the champagne flowed and it was noisy and happy. When we had all finished the master of ceremonies clinked his glass and the hall went silent for the speeches.

Carlisle made a lovely speech about Emmett and Rose both joining his family as children and how proud he was of them and how much he loved them and wanted nothing more than for them to be as happy as he and Esme were in their marriage. Esme wiped tears throughout the whole thing, I got a bit teary eyed myself.

Alice stood up and raised her glass and simply said "Cheers." Before passing the microphone to Edward, who stood up and cleared his throat.

"I was unfortunate enough to grow up with both Emmett and Rose and when Em first told me he was going to propose, I literally begged him not to. I mean, it's Rose for Christ's sake, she's like the sister I never wanted, but got anyway." He smirked at Rose and she laughed as she gave him the finger.

"But then I looked at the bigger picture and realised if they got married they'd probably move the fuck out of the house, so I encouraged him wholeheartedly and when he finally grew a pair and asked, Rose surprisingly said yes."

"And today, I couldn't be any happier for them, although that might be because I won't have to listen to Rose harp on about flowers and colour schemes anymore."

Edward smiled and Rose and Emmett both laughed.

"But in all seriousness, they're a great couple and they love the fucking shit out of each other." He raised his glass. "So please raise your glasses to Emmett and Rosalie. We can only hope the kids get Rose's brains and Em's personality." He took a drink and sat back down beside me.

"Wow, Edward, that was beautiful." I sniffed and pretended to wipe a tear from my eye. "Truly beautiful."

"I'm glad you liked it Princess?" He laughed. "Were you expecting some kind of sappy poetic bullshit?"

"No" I admitted giggling. I couldn't exactly picture Edward giving a heartfelt emotional speech.

After dinner, we danced the night away. I danced with all the Cullen men, Marcus was having a whale of a time and he twirled me around the dance floor with the energy of a much younger man.

"You're good for him." He said, smiling fondly at Edward as he danced with his mother. "I know he's my grandson, but he can be a right pain in the fucking ass." He laughed and I laughed with him. "But he's a good boy and he loves you." He winked at me. "Now, what say you to making the little fucker jealous?" He raised his eyebrows at me before lowering me over his arm so my head fell back and I dipped towards the floor, then he pulled me up and kissed my cheek.

"Ok, old man, go get your own woman, this one's mine." Edward deftly removed me from his grandfather's arms and pulled me into his own.

"She knows where to find me when she gets sick of you." Marcus told him, as he danced gracefully away with a laughing Esme.

"Motherfucker." Edward grumbled and I leaned up to kiss him.

Edward held me tight as we danced together. "Are you having a good time Princess?" he asked.

"Yeah! The whole day's been amazing." I smiled. It really had, everything had gone perfectly and I knew it was just how Rose had wanted it.

"Good." He leant down and kissed my temple. We danced for a while, swaying slowly to the music as Edward pointed out all the prominent people in the room. I was shocked by the guest list, it read like a who's who of Seattle.

"May I cut in?" A man had approached us and was looking expectantly at Edward.

"No." Edward said plainly and the man chuckled and continued to stand by us.

"I wasn't joking. Fuck off." Edward glared at him and he scuttled away.

I laughed, I couldn't help myself.

"It's not funny Princess, all these fuckers wanting to dance with you."

"So, those girls that were talking to you earlier, they didn't want to dance with you?" I arched my eyebrow at him.

"Dunno?" He shrugged. "I wasn't listening to a word they said. I was too busy watching Alec dance with the most beautiful girl in the room."

I smiled and shook my head. "You're a real charmer Edward Cullen. You know that?"

"And you are the most beautiful girl in the room. You know that?" He leant down to kiss me and we continued to dance until the music stopped and the lights went up.

Rose and Emmett did all the traditional things that couples do at their wedding. I almost caught the bouquet, which I could swear Rose aimed at me, but I'm pretty rubbish at catching things, so I missed and it fell to the floor and another guest snatched it up.

They cut the cake and Emmett swallowed down the huge mouthful Rose shoved in his face and then ate the bit he was supposed to feed Rose, partly because she was giving him a look that clearly said 'shove that in my face and you'll be sorry' but mainly I think he was just hungry.

When it got late, Rose went upstairs to change. She came down looking beautiful in a more comfortable dress and her and Emmett said goodbye to everyone.

We sent them off, throwing rice and confetti as they rushed towards the waiting limo that was covered in shaving cream.

"Tell me where they're going?" I asked Edward excitedly, before the car had even disappeared from sight.

He smiled. "Em's booked two weeks in a house on an island in the middle of nowhere, off the coast of Brazil. They'll be the only ones there, two weeks of sun, sea, sand and sex was how Em described it."

"Oh my Goodness, that sounds fantastic." I sighed.

"Really?" He said surprised. "With the exception of the sex, it sounds dull as fuck to me."

"What!" I gaped at him.

"Honestly, I don't get it. What the fuck is there to do on a deserted island but…, well, fuck, and you can do that anywhere." He shrugged.

"You're a real romantic Edward." I shook my head at him.

"If you wanted to go to a deserted island Princess, I'd take you to a deserted Island. I just think there are better places we could go."

"See now that's romantic." I smiled.

"What?"

"You basically just said you'd do whatever made me happy."

"Of course."

"So that's romantic and maybe that's what Emmett was doing for Rose."

"Oh, ok, that makes sense." He nodded.

I giggled and rolled my eyes at him. We went back inside and enjoyed the rest of the party. Esme was a little drunk and insisted on dancing to some questionable eighties songs that she swore were classics. I danced badly, laughed loudly and had a thoroughly enjoyable time before Edward and I headed upstairs and collapsed into bed at some time during the early hours of the morning.

"What's the time?" I asked groggily when I woke up.

"Uh, it's almost twelve." Edward replied equally as rough, his hands wandering under my top, because tired or not, he was always in the mood.

"What! I need to get up. I'm meeting Jake at one!" I jumped out of bed.

"No." Edward moaned. "Come back to bed Princess."

"I can't." I told him, although I was tempted, very tempted. "Are you coming with me?"

"Apparently not this morning." He smirked at me.

"Funny." I rolled my eyes at him.

He sighed and got up. "I'll drop you off, I'm sure Jake wants to catch up with you, not me. I'll have Sam and Embry sit in the restaurant."

"You sure?"

"Yeah, I always get the impression Jake doesn't like me very much."

I snorted. "Because that's not mutual at all."

"It's not that I dislike him as such, it's just that every time I've been around him I've had this overwhelming urge to kill him."

I laughed and ran to shower. Edward handed me a cup of coffee when I got out and he jumped in while I got dressed. We left in plenty of time and made it to the restaurant early.

"Edward, just come with me, it will make you feel better." I told him as we pulled up and he checked that I had my phone and that Sam and Embry were already inside.

"If you want me to come with you, I'll come, but I think you'll have a nicer time with Jake if I'm not there." He smiled, and I knew that he was probably right. He jumped out of the car and ran around to open my door. He helped me out and kissed me. "I love you Princess, call me when you want picking up." He said and I kissed him again. "Now go see your friend." He swatted my ass and I squealed.

"I love you." I smiled, giving him a quick peck on the cheek.

Edward waited until I was inside and I turned and gave him a wave which he returned before getting back into his car and disappearing into the Seattle traffic.

I spotted Sam and Embry eating heartily at a table as the hostess lead me to a booth by the window. They both gave me a discreet nod and I smiled at them.

"Bells!" Jake got up and hugged me tightly when he saw I'd arrived. "It's so good to see you." He pulled away and that was when I noticed the girl sitting at the table giving me an odd look.

Jake smiled. "This is Leah, I hope you don't mind her coming, but she really wanted to meet you."

"Uh, no." I told him, if I'd realised Jake was bringing a date I probably would have brought Edward along, but I didn't really mind that much. What I minded was that Leah was not looking at all friendly. "It's nice to meet you." I said.

"Leah, this is Bella Swan." Jake gave her a strange look as he realised she was glaring at me. "Uh, Bells, here." He pulled out a chair for me, when it became apparent that Leah wasn't going to say anything. "Did you find the restaurant ok?"

"Yeah, Edward dropped me off." I told him.

"Oh, well, that was nice of him I suppose." Jake said, turning his nose up.

"Are you fucking kidding me?" I heard Leah whisper as he sat back down beside her and he looked at her shocked.

"Is this a bad time?" I asked, stunned she was being so rude. Jake had only ever said great things about her.

"No, Bells, please." Jake smiled at me. "Let's order." He handed me a menu.

"You lied to me Jake." Leah hissed.

"What?"

"I know you said you didn't like her boyfriend, but I never realised...,"

"Leah!" Jake interrupted her.

"Uh, maybe I should go." I said getting up, I really didn't want to get in the middle of whatever was going on between them.

"Sit down." Leah demanded and I froze half standing, half sitting, unsure of what to do for the best.

"What are you doing?" Jake looked mortified.

"I can't believe you didn't tell me." She said angrily.

"Tell you what?" Jake asked exasperated, seemingly as bemused as I was by his girlfriend's strange behaviour.

"Seriously Jake?" Leah laughed, but not pleasantly. "You didn't think it was worth mentioning that the boyfriend you hate so much is Edward fucking Cullen?"
