I apologize if it seems the story is getting repetitive, or boring, but this conversation needed to happen. Then next chapter is the wedding, and I promise the story will pick up and move along with drama, and possibly lemons. It's not rated M for no reason. This is going to be a long story hopefully. I love romance, so writing it is going to be so much fun. I've also started writing another story so be on the lookout for it possibly this weekend. Thanks for putting up with my writing. This chapter is short, I apologize. I don't want you to feel like I am wasting your time.

You all enjoy your day, hope you enjoy the story. REVIEW PLEASE! Thank you

Edward Pov

"Just tell her. Is it really going to kill you?", Jasper yells, as I throw him the football and he goes to catch it. Actually yea, I don't think her dad would hesitate to kill me, but I don't voice my opinion.

"It's not that, Jaz, it's the fact that I want answers, but I don't think I will like the answers she has", I shrug, and go long to catch the ball back.

"So you're scared?", Emmett yells. "Pussy", he says lowly, facing Jaz. I hike back and spear the ball at his chest. He falls back grasping his chest. "What the fuck?"

"You are a terrible brother, and an even worst friend. Why is Rose marrying an immature asshole like you?, He throws it back, but not as hard.

"Because", He shrugs. "My dick is huge", He cups his dick. He is so immature. "Seriously though Edward, be a man. Shit, I didn't know that you were in love with her, man. I thought it was a little school age crush", He shrugs catching Jaspers throw.

"Everyone thought it was just a school age crush. Charlie realized it was more and squashed it", I catch the ball.

"Whoa, you're telling me, that Charlie's old ass scared you away from Bella?", I nod. "You're crazy. Charlie is all mouth, and no action.",

"Yea, well, he promised to make Bella go away if I fucked up his arrangement with The Black family, which he did. She left"

"She's back, and now you can have her.", I nod. "You should have jumped at the chance", Emmett says as my phone rings. I answer without looking at the number.

"Hello", I say into the phone.

"Edward? Hey it's me, Bella. Listen I know that these things aren't that formal, but I was wondering if you would maybe be my date to Rose's wedding. I know you're the best man or whatever, and you're supposed to be up Vera's ass all night, but she has a husband, so I just thought maybe ya know", I hear a smack. Did she smack herself? "I'm fucking rambling I'm sorry. I hate going to things like this alone, I figured no one would understand my fear of being alone, more than you would.",she whispers the last part.

"Of course Bella. I would love to be your date", I hear her mumble great before saying she had to go get ready for the girls spa day.

I fist pump the air, completely out of my mind ecstatic. "The fuck was that?", Emmett asked.

"My first step closer to the love of my life", I say with a big goofy smile on my face.

Bella Pov

Spa day with the girls was great, I feel so relaxed. I could tell that I was the only one that had never been to a spa, and my bubbly disposition gave it away. I was enthusiastic about every little detail. Alice said that I looked like a little kid in a candy shop, which I totally believe.

"Oh my goodness, Rose, thank you, thank you, thank you.", She looked at me with a confused yet humerous look on her face. "I am so relaxed. I feel like a feather, like I'm floating. That guy found every kink-", I trailed off closing my eyes, and sinking into the seat of the car.

"It was a gift actually, from Tanya.", I roll my eyes. That bitch! "I think that she thinks that we are like best friends or something", Rose said with spacey eyes, as if she can't particularly fathom where Tanya got the idea from. I laugh.

"It's because she thinks that you too are going to be each others sister in law", Alice says, rolling her eyes.

"Alice, you treat her like shit, and she-, I began, but Alice cuts me off.

"Yea, she kisses my ass, and Esme's. It's kind of embarrassing actually",

"Why?", I ask simply. She gives me a look and I smile. "Why is it embarrassing Alice", I push her shoulder.

"Because", She drags out the word not looking me in the face. "Because we hate her", Rose nods in agreement. I hope that they aren't just saying it for my benefit. She did absolutely horrible things to me growing up. My hatred towards her goes past her trying to come between Edward and I.

"Will she be at the wedding?", Rose looks over at me and nods.

"Yea, I'm sorry. I invited her before I met you", I poke out my lip. "Before I knew about you and Edward", Alice swats Rose's arm and mumbles something.

I look at Alice. "What?", I want to know what these weird looks and side conversations are about. "Alice?", I say her name in warning. At that moment Vera decided to jump in the conversation. I thought that she was napping. I look over at her.

"So Bella, you looking forward to your date with Edward?", I raise an eyebrow, and gear up ready to inform her that it's not a real date. "You two aren't an item", I shake my head no. "You do realize that you talk in your sleep right Bella", I stare at her like she's crazy, and then look up at my two friends in the front seat just as they exchange looks. It all makes sense now.

"That's why you two pressured me into asking Edward to your wedding?", I all but shout. "That's stupid. We are both going to be there already. I knew it was a stupid idea"

"Now you too will be therr together. It's your wedding gift to me", Rose says. I glare at Alice waiting for her to explain herself.

"Bella, you said and I quote, 'Edward, I love you'", Alice said looking back at me. I fold my arms across my chest and sit back.

"That doesn't prove shit", I look over and out the window. "You two really fooled me. Oh, come on Bella you're going to be so lonely there without a date", I mimic Alice's voice. "God, Alice, you know that's a fear of mine"

"It's also a fear that you both share, so now neither of you have to be lonely", Alice says as if that's a solution.

"I strongly dislike you right now Alice", I rub my forehead. "Did you really believe for one second that I could actually have non platonic feelings for your brother?", Everyone in the car says yes, and I look around. "Where's this coming from?"

"Bella, you do tend to run away from your feelings.", Alice turns almost completely around to look at me. "You and Edward need to get your asses out of your heads before it's too late",

"Why am I even listening to this. I don't know how Edward feels, hell, I barely know how I feel. Plus, I'm technically with James, and he's with Tanya", Alice doesn't say anything. For whatever reason, she is biting her tongue. She's giving me the -figure this out soon swan- look. But what is there to figure out? "Today was the first day that we've had a decent conversation in eight years", I look down and rub my face with both hands. Why won't he hate me?" Why won't he just hate me? That emotion I can understand. But love is so new, plus I've done him so wrong. The shame that I feel for how I've treated him, how I have behaved, ill never get over that feeling. Rather he loves me or not.

"Oh, sweetie, is that the problem?", Vera says like she understands anything that I'm feeling. I don't even bother looking at her. I'm not trying to be a bitch, I just hate the fact that I'm having this conversation, plus I'm frustrated, and confused. Mix that all together and you have a bitchy Bella.

"B listen, take a chance, please. You will not regret it, I promise", Alice says with an encouraging wink. I guess I'll take Alice's advice. She has no reason to lead me astray. "Promise me, you'll actually sit down and tell him everything", She asked with a pout in her voice. Why the hell not? What do I have to loose?

I nod. "Promise"
