The Ex Factor

The Ex Factor by AngelAtTwilight

Rated M, Edward and Bella, Various POV, Lemons, OOC

At first, I was unsure of this story. I mean the plot is just kinda like why-in-the-hell-would-anyone-put-themselves-in-this-situation, but its actually a really really good story. And AngelAtTwilight has a great imagination. It's full of twists and turns.

Edward, Emmett and Alice are all best friends. Edward is casually dating Tanya. Bella and Rosalie are step-sisters, Bella is dating Jasper, and Rosalie is hanging out with Jacob. Bella and Edward are bitter ex's that happened to have shared a large part of their childhood together. Which leads them to be sharing the same cabin for the same three weeks.

So Bella is under the same roof as not only her ex, but also her ex's new girlfriend. Edward is in the exact same situation, but actually finds himself liking Jasper. What happens when they all get snowed in and have no choice but to stay in the house? What happens when Alice finds herself falling for someone inappropriate? And we all know Rosalie and Emmett were made for each other...will she ditch Jacob?

A little piece of the story:

I closed my eyes and leaned forward, tucking my arms beneath her light, warm body. I lifted her up with my legs, tucking her into my chest as I stood. Her head fell onto my right shoulder, and I caught a whiff of her beautiful scent, strawberries and cinnamon, just as I remembered the last time we were this close. Again, I felt my body begin to ache as I pulled her against me, walking out of the room. Her books stayed nestled between her chest and mine, but I didn't mind. I held my breath as I trailed out the door, and up the two sets of stairs lightly.
As I passed the second story, I heard sobbing come from three doors down, followed by a, "shhhh... I've got you, come here," in a soft but hoarse just-woken-up voice. Emmett was comforting Alice... just as I knew he would. Because though that mother fucker could put on a show and pretend he doesn't care, he does. He always has. And he loved Alice like a little sister... and would probably give me a lot of hell in the morning if he finds out what I did.
I continued my tour, all the way up to the third story. She sighed, nuzzling her face into my shoulder, without recognizing it. It caused me to freeze in the hallway, unable to breathe. I looked down at her, and keeping her up with my right arm, I swept the hair out of her face with my left hand... and she was smiling at me. In her sleep.
Like she used to.
I scoffed, forcing myself to move again. She probably thinks you're Jasper or some shit.
