Chapter 10

BPOV
We danced, in each other's arms, and talked about all that we missed over the years. We were wrapped in each other's arms despite whatever song choice laughing at the memories of us when we were younger. We were pulled from our conversation to hear Emmett booming with laughter.
"God you two. Haven't you noticed that you're the only one on the dance floor?" Emmett laughed.
I looked at him in confusion. I looked around and sure enough we were the only dancing on the floor. Even the music stopped. I guess I didn't realize how long we were actually out there.
"Yeah we called you like three times." Jasper said.
"Sorry guys." I commented.
They were all glaring at us with shit eating grins. I didn't realize how close we were, until I looked up into his emerald eyes. I instantly stepped back, and felt the heat rush up my face. This made Emmett laugh harder.
"So what were you guys, talking about?" A curious Alice asked, she was grinning so hard I swear the lines in her face would be permanently etched on her face.
"Nothing, just reminiscing about the past." Edward answered casually.
"I'm sure you were." Rose added.
I blushed, and we headed out of the club..
We were the last ones to leave, when we headed out to the parking lot. I had to admit, I missed the loss of contact from his hands. It felt so right to be in his arms, and I felt like I could lay there forever. We kept sneaking glances at each other, and I felt maybe that he liked me. I wanted him to be mine.
Wait… Bella he can't yours. He belongs to someone else. My heart dropped at this realization. No matter how much I wanted him, he couldn't be mine. I would never be that girl, who just waltzes in ,and steals some girl's boyfriend. No matter how much it hurt. I just couldn't do it. I didn't realize I had let out a loud sigh. They all turned to me.
"What's wrong Bella?" Alice asked.
I couldn't tell her the truth, so I said "Nothing.. I just didn't want this night to end."
"Me either, we were having so much fun." Rose said.
"I know sleepover!" Alice squealed.
"That's a great idea.. We can all stay at Bella's house." Rose added.
" Wait.. What?" I asked.
"Yeah the night doesn't have to end, it's only what?" She glanced down at her watch. "2:30. And its a Saturday! Please Bella! Alice pouted.
"Okay… We can have a sleepover" I breathed.
"I don't know Al….. I'm kinda beat… It's a 20 minute drive to our apartment, and 15 minutes to yours. What do we do about clothes?" Jasper asked.
Alice looked deep in thought, about the clothes situation.
"Ugh.. Don't worry about it. Al, and Rose can borrow my clothes, and I have some extra clothes left over from Phil." I responded.
"Yay! It's settled. OMGTHISISGOINGTOBESOMUCHFUN!" Alice managed to squeal out in one breath.
We settled in the cars, and drove off to my penthouse, picking up some cold drinks, rented some movies and a couple of pizzas. Although I wondered who would want to eat pizzas, and watch movies at 3 in the morning. Apparently we do.
We arrived, and quietly scurried inside, not to wake up Nessie. Yes…. my dog could be viscous when she didn't get enough sleep. I laid our stuff on the living room table. The boys, and Rose and Al settled on the couch while I went to look for them some clothes.
I went upstairs, and grabbed two tanks, and two pairs of shirts for Rose, and Alice. I even gave them a bra, and some underwear. It would have been weird just giving them to anybody, but these girls were my sisters.
I called there names to come upstairs, and directed them each to a bathroom, where they could wash up, and take a shower.
I was about to get the boys clothes, before Alice screeched..
"Come on now Bells…Cotton underwear? We are definitely taking you shopping at Victoria's Secret."
I groaned, before going into the storage room for clothes for the guys. Phil was about the same size as Edward, and Jasper, so I quickly grabbed them some sweat, and two shirts. The question was what I could put over Emmett's massive form. I grabbed one of Phil's jerseys and a pair of athletic shorts. It was going to be a tight fit, but that's all I had to fit him.
I gave the boys their clothes, and directed Jazz, and Em to the two remaining bathrooms. Since Rose was in mine, Alice was in the second room, and with Emmett, and Jasper occupying the remaining two. It left me ,and Edward waiting downstairs for one of them to finish. We were sitting in awkward silence again. I was about to say something again, but Rose, and Alice bounced downstairs, freshly dressed their hair still wet.
"Shower's free." The both grinned.
I stood, up, and headed for the stairs, I told Edward to follow me. I hadn't made it up the first step, before my foot caught, and I was falling backwards. I closed my eyes, and waited for my body to hit the hardwood floor, But it never came. I looked up to see Edward looking down at me once again, and felt the blood rush up my cheeks.
" Bella, do you think you can actually go 2 minutes without trying to kill yourself." He laughed.
"Ha Ha Ha… bathroom's on the left." I huffed, and carefully stepped into the bathroom. I quickly showered, and grabbed a navy blue tank, with matching shorts, Not wanting to deal with my hair, I quickly put it up in a messy bun.
I came back downstairs surprised to see Edward already downstairs. Everyone was sitting downstairs, talking. I couldn't help but stare at the contours of his abs, through the shirt. It looked like he had a 6-pack.
I desperately wanted to find out. Chill… Bella he's taken. I thought to myself.
"Whoo! Nice legs Bells." Rose beamed.
I quickly turned red, and mumbled a quick thanks. I couldn't help but look over towards Emmett who was shifting on the floor.
"Problem Em?" I grinned.
I already knew the answer the jersey fit fine, but the shorts were a little tight. I thought I had grabbed the right size, but realization came to me since he was sitting beside Rosalie, and he was staring at her legs.
"Yeah these shorts, are too tight.. My manhood can't breathe." He huffed.
"You sure it's the shorts, and not "little Emmy?" Rosalie grinned looking down.
"Hey.. It's not my fault, and don't call it "Little Emmy" I'm everything but little." Emmett beamed."Eww.. Too much information!" Me ,Al ,Jasper ,and Edward said at the same time,
before grabbing the pizzas and drinks and settling on the floor.
We fell back into easy conversation, again asking questions about our lives while eating pizza.
After we were done eating, I threw our trash away, and from my peripheral vision in the kitchen I could see Alice bouncing up and down on the floor,
"Calm down Al…What's got you so hyper?" I asked the still bouncing Alice returning with a bowl of popcorn.
It may have been all the caffeine we gave her, but it probably not that. Alice is just always hyper.
"I got an idea!" Alice squealed.
"So lets hear it." I asked curiously.
"Lets play Truth or dare!" She squealed.
I instantly felt all the color drain from my face.
APOV
I had an idea.. … had been a long time since we played this game. Maybe we could crush some of this sexual tension between Edward, and Bella. It was so obvious, they were attracted to each other, but I could tell Bella was a little reluctant. I would be too, if your crush was dating the seed of chucky. I couldn't stand her with a passion, but enough about me.. I so wanted to play this game. I was literally bouncing in my seat on the floor. Bella returned from the kitchen, with a bowl of popcorn, and sat down beside me.
"Calm down Al…What's got you so hyper?" Bella asked me, and I couldn't help the grin that spread across my face.
"I got an idea!" I squealed.
"So lets hear it." Bella asked curiously.
"Lets play Truth or dare!" I squealed. I could see all the color drain from her face.
"Al do we have to?" she begged."Yes…" I said.
"But…" Bell pouted.
"No buts… you're playing. Now everybody in a circle now." I demanded.
We all sat down in a circle, myself sitting next to jasper on my left, Bella on right, who sat next to Edward, who sat near Rose, who was near Emmett.
"Here are the rules….I'll write down our names on little slips of paper, and put them in a bag. When its your turn whoever's name you draw, you can ask them Truth or Dare. If you pick your own name, you have to a dare chosen by anyone of your choice. We all have to do at least 1 dare. Those are the rules so lets play." I grinned.
"Why do I have a bad feeling about this?" Bella groaned.
"Aww.. Cheer up Bellsie, its gonna be fun." Emmett commented.
"Bella you can go first." I added. Bella grimaced and stuck her hand inside the bag, and pulled out a slip.
"Rosalie. Truth or dare" Bella asked.
"Truth." Rose said.
"Aww you're no fun." Edward said.
"Shut up Edward." Bella commented, I'll take the truth.
"So I've wondered how did you two exactly get together, and how did Esme, and Carlisle react to seeing you and Emmett, together?" I asked.
"You know that's two questions… right? But I'll answer anyway." Rose added.
Rose, and Emmett both had grins on their faces, before Rosalie started.

"Boy.. I could remember that day perfectly….."
Flashback…
3 1/2 years ago.
Ever since the incident, I felt like I was worthless, that I was just a worthless piece of trash. I had been sleeping all day, rarely eating. Everyone was letting me have our alone time. Over the next couple of weeks, I started to spent most of my time around Emmett. The other's were off, and Emmett was in the garage working on his jeep. I was tired of being cooped up in my room. So I started hanging out with Emmett, in the garage.
We would have weird conversations. He showed me how to hotwire a car. Not that I would have an use for it anyway. I felt this strange pull towards him. He was in fact the one who saved me. Even though he was my adopted brother, I couldn't see him as a brother. The way we would interact with each other, felt right. I was scared for anyone to get close to me, but when I would panic, or cry it was him comforting me. I had so many mixed emotions. I didn't really know if he felt the same way, I desperately wanted Bella, here no matter how much I was mad at her. She knew the perfect things to say to me , and gave the best advice. Since she wasn't here. I had to go to the next best thing. My twin brother Edward.
Even though he was being a pompous asshole lately, he still was my big bro although I'm older, and I loved him for that. I knocked on the door of his room, and seen he was on his computer, probably myspacing some slut.
"Hey Eddie…" I was the only one to call him that nickname, and he instantly knew from my tone that something was wrong.
"What's wrong Rosie?" He asked concerned.
"Ed… Had you ever had a piece of you that was ever reluctant, or you regret not making an important decision.?" I asked."I don't follow were you're going…" He asked confused.
I huffed " Say you like someone, you really like them, but you're afraid they may not like you the same way in return. You're scared to tell them how you actually feel, before it's too late."
"I know how you feel." Edward huffed quietly under his breath.
"What was that?" I asked, I noticed he had been gloomy ever since Bella left. I could have sworn he was in love with her. We all saw that..
"Uh…nothing.. So who's the guy?" He asked looking at me.
"Emmett.." I muffled the words into my hands.
"Huh?" He asked again.
"Emmett." I said a little louder.
Edward looked at me wide eyed. He turned a weird shade of green, before returning to his normal color.
"Em….Emmett.. " he stuttered.
"Well yeah…. I sort of like him, like him." I said.
"Dude… he's your brother?" He commented.
"Not biologically.." I added.
" I know that… well how did this happen?" He asked.
So I told him about the past couple of weeks, and me interacting with Emmett. When he was done Edward looked dumbstruck.
"Uh.. I don't really know what to tell you sis." He huffed. I let out a large sigh.
"But. what I can tell you is to just follow your heart." He added, "I kinda wished I did."
"Wait, who are you talking about?" I asked.
"Look it's not about me, do what you have to do. If Emmett doesn't feel the same way it's his loss." He comforted me in a large hug.
"What about Carlisle, and Esme? What would they think?" I asked worried.
"Don't worry about them.. You will tell them when it's the right time. They love you both too much." He grinned.
"Thanks… I love you baby bro…even though you can be so naïve at times" I said warmly getting up.
"Hey.. You're only older by 10 minutes," He smirked.
"Yep…. And I'll never let you forget it." I added.
"Love you too Rose…" He smile a true smile.
I headed towards to the door to my room, but turned around.
"Hey Edward…" I asked.
"Yeah?" He said.
"Things happen for a reason you know…, and even though you might never get the chance to say how you really feel, just remember that person may feel the same way as you. Even if she is …all the way in Phoenix." I said before stepping out of his room.
I glanced over my shoulder to see that Edward was in the same position, his mouth agape shocked at my words. I grinned, and went into my room. I decided I would tell Em tomorrow while the others were out.
The next day I had so many butterflies in my stomach. The others were gone, and Carlisle, and Esme were up in the bedroom, doing god knows what. Eww… just the thought. Emmett was sitting on the couch, flipping through various TV stations. I sat next to him, and he raised his arms, for me to lay my head against his lap. We laid there for a while, as Emmett ran his hands through my blond locks.
"Look…"he started."Em.." I began."You first.." we both said simultaneously.
I grinned, and I gestured for him to go first.
"Look Rose.. I know the last couple of weeks been rough on you…and you probably don't want to hear what I have to say…." He paused."Continue." I said looking up at him from his lap.
" I like you Rose." He grinned.
"I like you too Em." I responded.
"No Rose…. I really like you." Emmett said sheepishly.
I looked at him my mouth formed in a small o.
"Look I understand if you don't feel the same way I completely understand." Emmett mumbled trying to get up.
"No wait.. Emmett… I like you too." I smiled standing up also.
"Really?" He said, his dimpled grin spreading across his face.
"Yeah.." I said.
He grabbed me in a bone crushing hug, and kissed my forehead.
"Rose.. You have no clue how long I wanted to do that." He said.
"Me too." I giggled.
Over the next couple of months we started dating, and I couldn't be happier.
~END FLASHBACK~
"Aww.. That's so sweet!" Bella exclaimed.
"I know right…" Edward said batting his eyelashes in a squeaky girly voice.
"Shut up Edward, So how did Carlisle and Esme take it?" Bella asked.
Maybe you should let Emmett tell that story.
EMPOV
Flashback…
1 year ago…
Me, and Rose were sitting on the couch of out Parents house. We had came down from Binghamton since we were on break. Everyone was out of the house, and it was just me and rose on the couch. We were still hiding our relationship, from Carlisle, and Esme. Only Edward, Alice, and Jasper knew and were okay with it. I could even see Alice, and Jasper getting closer.
Since the house was free of people. Me and Rose started cuddling on the couch, and started planting playful kisses on each other. Soon our kisses, were in full make out mode. I guess we were so into each other that we didn't hear the door open. We both heard a large gasp, and we both jumped apart.
There in the doorway was Carlisle , and Esme with shocked expressions on their faces. Esme started turning a faint purple color, and leaned on the counter for support. Carlisle actually started swaying, back and forth till he finally fainted on the floor.
We all rushed over, to help him up, but no response.
Rose got Esme a glass of water, while I tried to wake, a still unresponsive Carlisle.
I didn't notice the others returning, and all of them stood there glaring as to why he was on the floor.
"Why is Carlisle on the floor?" Alice asked.
"Well.. He kind of fainted." Rose said.
"Why?" Jasper asked.
Before I could answer Esme commented…"We walked in on your brother, and sister making out." Esme said still looking a little green,
They mouths all formed perfect little o's before Edward commented..
"Finally killed him..huh Em?" Edward mocked.
"Shut up.. This is not funny." Emmett grimaced. Carlisle started to stir.
"Yes he's waking up." Esme said relieved.
When he finally woke up, me , and Rose went into detail, about what happened over the past couple of years.
"I still don't understand, why you guys didn't tell us earlier?" Esme asked hurt.
"We didn't think you would understand, you know with us being adopted siblings ,and all." Rose said.
"Don't worry, I'm not mad. I'm just shocked. It's not everyday you see your children making out." Esme said."You got that right." Carlisle responded with a ice bag against his forehead."You okay ol' man." Jasper said chuckling.
"Shut up Jasper!" Carlisle said.
"But… you fainted, I thought at least Mom, would faint before you." Alice said struggling with her own laughter.
"Yeah Whatever." Carlisle mocked.
"Well, I won't stop you guys, I kinda figured this would happen, with you all being so close with each other. This may take some time, but don't you guys ever surprise me like that again. Understood?" Esme questioned.
"Yeah." Both me, and Rosalie said."Great now give me some love." Esme said grabbing the both of them.
~END FLASHBACK~
Everybody's were bright red, and full of laughter . Bella actually had tears streaming down his face.
"Omg! I can't believe he actually fainted." Bella exclaimed.
"Yep, who would have thought Mr. Big top doctor who doesn't faint at the sight of blood, faint at people making out." Edward laughed.
"So that's why, Alice and Jasper still haven't told them yet." Bella said.
"Yep that's all we need is Carlisle fainting again." Emmett boomed.
BPOV
"So Rose, it's your turn." Alice said passing the bag over to Rose.
Rosalie grabbed a slip and opened it and she said "Jasper."
"So Jasper… she started. Truth or Dare?" Rose asked.
"Uh.. I'm gonna go with a dare so I can get this over with." Jasper.
Rose got a mischievous grin across her face.
"Okay I dare you, when we take Bella shopping, to walk up to three rand people, scratch your crotch area, and say "Damn, those crabs really do itch." Rose smirked.
We all burst out laughing in huge fits of laughter.
"Do I have to Rose?" Jasper groaned.
"Yep, now it's your turn." Rosalie said giving the bag over to Jasper.
"Emmett." Jasper said.
"Truth or dare?" Jasper said.
"Jazz.. You already know. I choose dare!" Emmett boomed.
"Okay I dare you to switch clothes with Bella." Jasper smirked.
"What!" We both exclaimed.
"..clothes." Jasper said again.
"Aww..come on man. I'm already squished up in this. and you want to put me in a tank top, and itty bitty shorts?" Emmett huffed.
"Yep..Now you to go." Jasper pushed.
I groaned and stepped towards the bathroom. I reluctantly pulled off my tank, and shorts before handing them off to Rose to give to Emmett. When she gave me Emmett clothes, I grudgingly put them on. The clothes seemed to swallow me, and I had to keep adjusting the jersey to lay on my shoulder, so it doesn't reveal my undergarments.
I stepped out, and waited for Emmett to come out the bathroom, before heading downstairs. I could faintly hear him say "There's no way in hell I'm coming out in this."
"Come on Em!" Were waiting," I said through the door.
I heard him say "I'm so going to get you Jasper!" before opening the door, and I couldn't help but snicker. Here was Emmett with his massive form wearing my tank top, that was now stretched to the limit , with his massive thighs in my little shorts.
"Ha Ha Bella… this is worse than the clothes you gave me before." Emmett pouted."Aw suck it up, I'm about to drown in this." I mocked back.
"Now lets go back downstairs." I pushed him forward.
Once we got downstairs, I heard whistle coming from everybody.
"Nice legs Em." Jasper mocked.
"Shut up Jazz, I'm so gonna get you for this.
"Yeah who would have thought that blue was your color." Edward smirked dodging a pillow thrown from Emmett.
"I can't even breathe." Emmett complained.
"How do you think I feel, how can a person breathe with all of this fabric on.
"Oh yeah…nice bra by the way Bells." Alice cocked an eyebrow at me gesturing to my shoulder where the top half of my bra was showing. I instantly turned red, and heard Edward take in intake of breath.
"Yo..Em your turn." I passed the bag to him, and he pulled out another slip.
"Alice..Truth or Dare?" Emmett asked.
"Uh.. I going to go with Truth." Alice grinned.
"Fine, If you had to save one thing from a fire or, you had rescue only one person. Would you save either Jasper or your brand new Manolo's.
Alice looked deep in thought for a moment.
"Al…" Jasper glared at her.
"Sorry.. I'll save Jasper." Alice grinned.
"Although he was going to buy me a pair once I saved him." Alice added.
"Typical Alice." I commented.
"Your turn Al." Rose said throwing the bag over into Alice's lap.
She grabbed a slip , and opened it glaring at both me and Edward. A sneaky glare spread across her face. I didn't like that smile. I was actually scared that she had pulled my name.
"Then she finally spoke.
"Edward." she grinned, and I instantly felt relieved.
"Truth or Dare?" A still grinning Alice asked.
"Dare." He said.
"I dare you to give Bella a three minute lap dance." she smirked.
I think both mine and Edward's mouth dropped.
"What?" was all I managed to squeak out.
"You heard me." Alice grinned again.
"I dare you to give Bella a three minute lap dance." she gestured to Edward.
This was not going to be pretty I thought. I looked over to Edward, and his piercing green eyes laid upon mine. We both sat there looking at each other unsure of what to do next. I could tell we were both nervous. Then I finally realized something…
We were both screwed...
