Chapter 9

Hey loves!  Thank you again for reading!  I have to say that this chapter was pretty touch to write.   I wrote it a completely different way at first and then had to start over from scratch because I didn’t like it.  So I hope you like it.  It’s about half and half with the povs.  As always please let me know what you think.

He kissed the tears off my cheeks the morning of our first date.  Later he kissed me with so much emotion they almost reappeared and then that night he kissed me one final time and I knew that he felt it too.  I was in love with him. 

Monday afternoon I got a note on the door to go down to the apartment office to pick up a package. I was confused for a minute but I realized that Alice had mentioned that she was sending me some things... 

I ran down there to see a huge box.  Demetri the office manager offered to have his assistant Felix carry it up for me.  He left in my room thankfully ridding me of having to move it.  I ripped open the box and tore through the paper wondering what the hell Alice could have sent me.  

I ran my fingers over the blue material.  I knew it was going to be clothes.  The tag attached was labeled 'The Big Night'.  The dress was a midnight blue strapless with a sweetheart neckline.  It had a tie off to the left hip and the skirt of the dress flared slightly.  It looked girly and romantic.  It was perfect for the night I was going to lose my virginity.  How did she know me so well?  In it there was also some tiny sexy pieces to wear under the dress and there were also a few sets of heels.  She specifically labeled the strappy silver pair as the ones that I was supposed to where with the dress.  I smiled that she had truly thought of everything.  

I wanted to look sexy for him and she had made that happen.  I had no worries now, I just had to make it through the next two weeks and I would be a happy woman.

My lips left hers and I made the most painful walk of my life.  I had to walk back to my room alone.  Bella and I had successfully gone out on our first date.  I had a long week ahead of me before I would get to touch her again.  I longed to just hold her warm body next to mine.  But I knew I couldn't do that.  There was no way I could guarantee the control I needed.  Hell I had slept next to her for the better part of twenty years and I had never had a problem keeping my hands to myself but the other night, it just felt like something had changed.  Like I knew she could feel what I felt.

I spent the better part of that night jerking off.  I could control the constant hard on that kept appearing at just the thought of Bella in that dress.  She looked stunning and I couldn't help myself.  It was the first time in a long time that I was glad she wasn't in the bed beside me. 

I kissed her with so much emotion and I felt everything coursing through my body leaving through my lips and going back to her.  And when I stared in to those beautiful brown pools I could see she felt everything too.  This was no longer just an agreement.  And I was going to need to make that clear before we had sex.  I wanted to make love to Bella our first time.  And that's what I planned to do. 

I had planned something carefree and a little out of the ordinary for us for our second date.  I was planning on taking Bella to the Big E.  It was like a carnival but it was huge!  Everyone would travel from all over New England to go.  And since we were transplants here I figured we could get in to the culture.  I wanted to see the tractor pulls and then we could go on some rides together.  It sounded like a good time.  And hey we wouldn't need any stuffy clothes.

*****

The week was going to be fairly uneventful.  I had to work a lot and as usual Bella had her classes and she would need to be studying a lot. 

I wasn't keeping this date a secret so I figured I'd find a casual way to ask Bella if she'd like that.

Tuesday came and went and I didn't get to tell her what our date was.  Instead she cooked us dinner, stir fry with chicken, and we ate in almost complete silence then she scurried off to her room claiming that she had lots of studying to do.  So there I was alone on the couch until one AM when I finally decided to drag myself in to my lonely room for the night.  I wondered how she could possibly sleep.  Did she feel like I did?  Maybe she too was in her room lying there awake?

I snuck out of my room and down the hall.  I wanted to see if she was sleeping.  It was all meant to be quite innocent.  I got to her door and paused.  I had been tiptoeing in my own house.   I felt like an idiot, but there I stood pressing my ear to her door.  Inside I could hear her music still playing at level that I knew she couldn't sleep through.  Maybe that's how she was getting through all of this?  Just refusing to sleep?  Diving in to her studies?

I decided not to knock knowing that it was too soon.  I wanted to wait until after our next date.  I willed myself back in to my room and there I laid until I eventually passed out from exhaustion.

*****

On Wednesday I got home from work to find Bella once again cooking.  This time she was slaving away over beef roast, mashed potatoes, streamed artichokes and homemade gravy.  It smelt like I had died and gone to heaven.  Bella knew how much I loved home cooking.  And boy was this home cooking.  Nothing Asian, nothing too complicated.  Just all America meat and potatoes. 

I came up behind her because I could no longer keep my hands off of her.  After resting my hands on her hips I kissed her neck softly.

"Hi..."  I murmured against her luscious neck.

"Hi to you too."  She said giggling. 

"I've missed you."  I continued.  I knew I was getting myself in deep, but I didn't care anymore.

"I missed you too..."  She said tending to the veggies.  

I took a deep breath and attempted to pull myself together.  I let go of her hips and found some wine for us.  I handed her a glass and sat at the breakfast bar to admire the view.  A beautiful woman cooking me a delicious dinner. 

"So..."  I started.

"So?"  She asked turning to me. 

"I was thinking..."  I continued.

"Oh no... that's never good..."  She joked.

"Like I said... I was thinking... for Saturday's date I was thinking that we could go to the Big E?"

"That sounds awesome.  I've always wanted to go."  She said, coming over and hugging me. 

"Great that makes two of us."  I said, smiling at her.

"So I get a cheezy date with the Edward Cullen?"  She asked, with her arms still wrapped around me.

"And what is that supposed to mean?"

"Well you are internationally known to dazzle hordes of women and I get simple, cheezy date with you... I feel special." 

"As you should."  I said, kissing her nose.  And hell if I were to argue this affection I did say I would go up to a sloppy make out on the couch without feeling guilty so I took a moment to just enjoy her close proximity.

"Ohhh I'm so excited!"  She squealed, pulling away from me. 

She put down her glass of wine and started mashing the potatoes. 

"I hope your hungry."  She said over her shoulder. 

"Oh I am."  I replied with a wink. 

I loved this... The comfortable flirting and joking we had.  I loved how easily we lived together.  And I loved her...

After an amazing dinner, I refreshed our glasses of wine and we retired to the couch.  There we sat snuggling for quite a while.  And when her glass finally ran empty she turned and kissed me softly before getting up and going to her room.  My lips were left buzzing from just that faint touch.

How could she just get up so easily?  Why was it all becoming so difficult for me?

*****

Thursday came and we spent it picking at left overs and chatting, again she was somehow able to pull herself away and lock herself in that room of hers.  I was beginning to hate the fact that we had doors.  This was all my fault.  She would have been perfectly content sleeping in my bed with me, but I had to go be a fucking gentleman and I couldn't even make it to the second date.  It hadn't even been a week and I missed her. 

Friday was here again and I loved it.  It meant that tomorrow I would get to show Bella a good time.  I was working late so texted her so she didn't worry.  She texted me back letting me know there would be pizza and beer waiting for me when I got home.  I hoped that meant a movie and cuddle too... I mean I know I sound like a pansy but I needed the contact with her.

I got home and there she was sprawled out on the couch in what had to be the tiniest pair of shorts I had ever seen.  They were barely covering her goods.  And I do mean goods.  She had on a little tank top that was busting from her soft breasts.  I hadn't even made it to the kitchen and I was already hard.  This was going to be a difficult night to say the least. 

She jumped up and hugged me when pressing her soft body into mine and I was sure she could feel me.  At the moment I had lost all my will to care.  I snaked my arms around her waist and held her to me.  I needed to feel her close to me and the contact of her exposed skin.  I smelt her, the freesia and strawberry melody that she carried around so naturally hit me.  It was all Bella.  I grabbed her thighs as my hands worked on their own accord and brought her legs around my waist and I had to bite back the groan in my throat from when my crotch came in contact with her hot, damp center.  Why was she so excited?  Oh god I had to stop this, before it got out of hand.  I kissed her forehead and slowly lowered her to the ground.  I could see the disappointment in her eyes.  I didn't want to see that.  She was far too beautiful to look sad. 

"Hi beautiful."  I murmured kissing her temple again.

"Hi."  She said, softly.

"How are you?"  I asked hugging her body to mine. 

"Oh me?  I'm good, my class got canceled so I spent the day relaxing about."  She said smiling wide. 

"Oh really?" 

"Mhm."

"So what did you do all day?"  I asked.

"Umm... I used some presents..."  She said shyly, blushing.  Oh her face lit up in to that beautiful tint.  She looked so sweet and perfect.

"Oh yea?  What presents did you use?"  I asked.

She blushed again and looked away from me. 

"Bella?"  I pressed.

"Well I used yours.  I wrote for a little while.  And then IusedRose'sgift."  My eyebrows shot up.  Good god.  I just went from hard to rock solid.  I wanted to be in her so bad.

"Well that's good."  I said carefully.  What the hell was the proper response to an admission like that?

"Mhm... It was."  Oh god she was torturing me.

"Bella, is there a reason why you are telling me?"  She blushed even redder.

"I ja-ja-just thought you... um... would want to know."  She explained.

"I love to know... Thank you for sharing, but I don't tell you every time... I... um... do that."

"I know... It's just you probably do that more than I do." 

She had no idea.  I couldn't help myself, she was too damn sexy.  "Thanks?"  I said, joking.

"Oh you know what I mean..."  She continued, with the beautiful red tint touching her cheeks.

"That I do."  I smirked.  "So if I may ask... Where... did you umm... do it?"  Oh hell I knew I was getting myself in trouble but at least I could use the mental images later to take care of my now very large problem.   

She blushed the most luscious shade of red, almost turning her in to a lobster.

"Well I... umm.... it was already in your room... and you did invite me to... umm... do that there."  She explained.

"Are you trying to tell me, that you Isabella Swan, masturbated in my bed?"  I asked in a smooth voice.

She flushed.  I seriously thought she was going to pass out from all the blood flowing to her face and not anywhere else.  And I seriously thought that I was going to pass out from the blood flowing to my dick and not anywhere else.

"Ummm... yea... but I'll change the sheets... God I'm sorry." 

"Don't you dare.. God that's hot.  I just wish I was there to witness it."  I said, pulling her in to a reassuring hug,  

"Me too."  She mumbled in to my chest. 

She looked winded and I left it at that.  There was our playful banter for the evening.  It was cute that she was so eager to tell me about it. 

We ate pizza while we both nursed a beer.  Then I grabbed us both another and we planted ourselves in front of the TV to watch a movie.  She giggled away at the comedy that played out before us.  But before the movie  she snuggled in to me.  

I wondered how long she was going to sit with me.  Normally she didn't stay long after the visual distraction was gone.  She nudged me and I looked down in to her eyes.  Why was she nudging me?  I looked at her soft, pouty lips and at that moment there was nothing more in the world that I wanted to do than kiss her.  And I took my chances and did it.  I silently reminded myself that this couldn't go any further than making out.  

Her lips were perfect.  They were soft, warm, and perfect.  I pressed a little bit firmer letting her know that I wanted this just as much as she did.  She mewed against my lips and I sighed knowing the exact feeling she was having because I too was having the same one.  The one where this was the most perfect kiss ever.  And not even that this particular kiss was the most perfect ever its just that everyone that I shared with her was. 

I slowed my persistent lips and took a moment to just enjoy the feel of her soft pillows against mine.  I kissed her softly before I pulled back.  I watched her face carefully and saw her eyes were bright and shining.  She was glorious.  And she had no idea just how much I enjoyed staring at her.  

I waited for her to say something, but nothing came, we both just sat there mesmerized by each other.

After a while she slowly snuggled back in to me.  And that's where she stayed for the rest of the evening.  We didn't say a word to each other.  Eventually the clock read twelve and I picked up her, I thought about bringing her in to my room with me and just saying fuck the rules but I was strong for the moment and walked her down the all to her room.  Where I pulled back her covers and tucked a very peaceful Bella in to bed.  I kissed her forehead lightly and shut the door.  I walked back to my room where I laid awake in my bed for hours.  There was nothing more that I wanted to do than to run back down there and curl up next to her.  I knew it would calm every nerve in my body and I would be out like a light.  But instead I continued to lay there and torture myself. 

*****

The next morning came and I had finally fallen asleep somewhere between three and four AM.  It was a long night but thankfully sleep did take over me.  And like I had imagined they would, my dreams were filled with Bella. 

I got up and showered at eight and then went to the kitchen to fix us breakfast.  I picked up our cans and threw out the pizza that had sat out all night.  Then went to the fridge and retrieved some eggs and of course bacon.  I wanted to spoil her this morning. 

I made the food and placed it on the a tray and then sauntered towards her room.  I knocked lightly glancing at the time.  It was just before ten I figured she should be awake.  And when I heard her murmur behind the door I knew I was right.  I pushed the door open gently, trying to keep her orange juice from sloshing and walked inside. 

I had to stop in my tracks.  She looked adorable.  A rumpled version of my Bella sat in the middle of her bed studying away.

"Good morning."

"Morning."  She yawned.

"How did you sleep?"  I asked as I brought her tray to her.

"Uh... not so great..."

"Why not?"

"I was fine out there... it must be something about this bed.  Because I swear I woke up at one and didn't get back to sleep until four."  She complained.

"If I had of known that I would have never brought you in here. I'm sorry."  I would have brought you to my bed.  Where I wanted to bring you.

"It's fine... How were you to know?"  She shrugged. 

"I brought you some breakfast."  I mentioned.

"Oh thank you, you didn't have to do that." 

"I wanted too." 

"Well thanks.  You're gonna have some too right?"  

I remembered her birthday breakfast and she had wanted me to share that too.  I was blessed to have Bella in my life and I was just now realizing it... Twenty years later.  Hopefully I wasn't too late.

"Sure."  I replied, getting up to the kitchen to get a second fork.  But before I could even move from where I was now standing she caught my wrist. 

"We'll share."  She said with a wink.  That should be illegal.

I grabbed the fork and began feeding her.  She moaned at the first bite and that made me want to do things that I knew I wouldn't be able to do.  It was kind of sick when you think about it.  How a simple noise from her could make me hard in a second. 

I took a bite for myself occasionally but I really preferred feeding her.  I loved watching her little pink tongue poke out and lick her supple lips after each bite.  Oh how I wanted to have that tongue in my mouth.  Once we were finished I kissed her cheek lightly and took the dishes back to the kitchen.  When they were clean and back in the cabinet I went back down to Bella's room. 

I stood in the door frame for a moment just enjoying looking at her.  I couldn't help myself.  She was exquisite. 

"Bella how soon can you be ready?  I have lots planned for us today." 

"Umm... thirty minutes sound good?"  She asked.

"Sounds perfect, love."  I shuffled down the hall to go get myself ready. 

Today was going to fun and carefree, an awful lot like we were back in Forks before college.  I wanted to give her a little slice of childhood back. 

*****

Bella emerged from her room looking sexy in just a t-shirt and jeans.  I wondered to myself how she could make the simplest of attire look so damn good.  She pulled on a sweat shirt over her head and when she did I saw a sliver of skin peek out from her waist and it took all of my control to not lick it.  The desire to taste her was overwhelming. 

After a two hour drive of loudly singing along to ridiculous songs we finally got there.  The laughter had made both of our sides sore and now we were going to walk off the pain.  It was just after one and we had the whole day ahead of us to play.  There was so much I wanted to share with her and I just really wanted to see her smile.  Like a true genuine smile.

We found a ticket booth and decided to ride some rides right away.  Bella was excited, she was jumping up and down.

"Which one do you wanna go on first?"  I asked. 

Her eyes went wide and I knew what her answer was going to be.  That damn ship ride.  She always loved that thing and I was going to just have to bite the bullet and suffer through it.  She took her small hand and extended her dainty finger in the direction of that monstrosity.  I smirked knowingly and grabbed her hand.  I basically pulled her through the crowds of people over to it.  She giggled the entire way.   

"Do you mind?"  She asked once we were in line.

"Not at all."  I said shaking my head.

"Yay!"  She said grasping my hands tightly.

I pulled her close and wrapped my arm around her shoulder.  Hell it was a date right?  There was nothing wrong with being affectionate.  She lifted her head so that she could look at me and and I saw her smile.  And I couldn't help myself but I kissed her.  It wasn't lingering or anything but small and special.  It was perfect. 

The line moved forward and we were getting on.  After checking our straps and bars for the umpteenth time the monstrosity came to life.  The large dragon covered ship began heaving and swing and Bella's smile grew.  I swear the only reason why she liked it was because I couldn't stand it.  

BPOV

He got on the flying ship for me.  I know it sounds stupid but Edward hates the flying ship and he waited in line patiently and the willingly boarded that contraption.  I just couldn't believe it.

Next was the bumper cars where we spent the entire time crashing in to each other.  Then we went again, this time riding together.  I let him drive even though he insisted that I do it.  He wrapped one arm around me and crashed in to everyone else.  It was exhilarating. 

After that we decided to walk around through the tents and exhibits.  Edward bought me a shirt to commemorate our date here.  It said Big E 2010 on it and though it was simple and had farm animals on it, I knew I would cherish that fucking shirt. 

He wrapped me in his arm again and I snuggled in to his side as we went about exploring.  We stopped in front of a cotton candy vendor and Edward gladly bought an enormous amount of the sugary treat.  We found a bench to sit down and we took turns feeding each other.  It was sweet, silly and even romantic.  My heart sputtered for a minute and then I tried like hell to squash those feelings.  I knew he could never feel what I did.

After that we found some games to amuse us for a little while.  Edward trumped most of them.  He was amazing at everything.  He even managed to win me a giant panda.  I know it's silly but I planned to cuddle with that thing that night.  I asked him to carry it secretly hoping his sent would rub off on it and would make that nights sleep process just a little more bearable.

We found a small station that was serving hamburgers and beer.  Edward grabbed our dinner while I found us a table.  When we were finished we just meandered for a while taking in everything and people watching.       

The sun was setting and we had been there for a while.  My legs were in need of a rest.  We found our way to the hay rides.  Edward led me away from the lines to a smaller wagon. 

"This ones for us."  He said motioning towards the wagon.

"Oh?"  I asked, raising an eyebrow at him.

"Yeah... Come on."  He said offering me a hand so I could get in.

We both took a seat at the back and again he placed his arm around me as the tractor sputtered to life.  We took off with a bit of a jolt and Edward steadied me.  Heat rose in my cheeks from the feeling of his hand on my waist.  I wanted him closer.  And then we began going up this hill and the view was incredible.  The purple and pinks mixing lightly with the warm yellows and burnt oranges.

"This is amazing..."  I breathed.

"Nothing compared to you..."  He replied back.  I swear he must flip a switch and he instantly become Mr. Suave. 

I helplessly swooned at his comment and I couldn't contain the blush that now stained my cheeks.  He grinned from ear to ear.  And wondered how much of this was an act and how much of this was really him. 

The tractor continued around and I snuggled even closer in to him.  I wanted to be close to him.  I nudged my head up and looked lovingly at him.  Maybe through some sort of secret eye communication he would understand my true feelings for him.  Maybe he would realize he was the only man I could ever love.  And that he had broken me.  He had rendered me useless for the rest of the male population because I was way more than used to his overwhelming perfection.  No man could ever live up to Edward Cullen.  It was a fact. 

We crested the hill again and this time he took my hand in his and looked me in the eyes.  "How has your day been Bella?"  He asked.

"Wonderful."  I replied. 

"Good I'm so glad to hear it." 

I smiled back at him.  

When the tractor finally came to a stop, almost an hour later I figured it would be a good time to leave.  We still had a two hour drive ahead of us and it was nearing eight-thirty.  I tugged on his hand leading him in the direction of the exit.

"Hey wait!"  Edward said, releasing my hand.

I turned to look at him.

"What's the rush?"  He asked.

"Well I just figured it's getting late and there is still a two hour drive ahead of us." 

"Bella, are you tired?"  He asked. 

I shook my head no.

"Is there something that you need to get home for?"

I shook my head no again.

"Then let's go on one more ride.  Please?" 

His eyes looked so sincere.

"Sure, what one were you thinking?"  I asked.

"Come on.  I'll show you." 

And then he took my hand and we strolled across the fair grounds back over towards the rides.  There in front of us stood the ferris wheel. 

"Do you mind?"  He asked looking down at me.

I shook me head no.

"Good."  He smirked.

The line moved along pretty quickly and then it was our turn to board.  We got in and the wheel took off stopping occasionally to let new riders on and the old ones off.  We were sitting at about half way up when Edward finally spoke. 

"Bella, can I just say that you look so beautiful tonight.  I don't know if I've told you, but you take my breath away."  My heart stuttered at his words and my blush was back with vengeance. 

"Thank you.  You don't look so bad yourself Cullen."  I remarked.

"Thanks, I like to try when I have a date with a beautiful woman."  Again I swooned.

And now I wanted to ask him the one question that had been plaguing me since this all began.  "Edward?"

"Yes Bella?"

"How real are these dates to you?  I mean... Are they really dates or are we just hanging out here?" 

"How real are they to you?"  He asked back at me as the wheel went around. 

"I asked you first."  I said, feeling very childish.

He cupped my face in his hands and leaned down to me.  "They're as real as this."  He said pressing his lips to me.  I didn't even realize that we were at the top of the wheel.  I opened my eyes for a split second and then I realized we were stopped at the top and the man of my dreams was kissing me... and meaning it?  Oh god it was a good day.  That was just another fairytale dream to cross off my list. 

He pulled away when the machine jolted to life and started moving again. 

"And how real are they to you Bella?"  He repeated his question.

"They're really real to me..."  I admitted softly, blushing all the while. 

"Good I was hoping you would say that."  He smirked. 

I blushed again and then the attendant opened the door for us, indicating that our ride was over.  I got up to leave but Edward ripped off some more tickets and stuffed them in the mans hand and and asked him to keep it going until those run out.  I smiled, wholeheartedly at the gesture.  He wanted to spend time with me. 

It began to spin again and I was almost caught off guard by his lips.  They pressed in to mine and that's where they stayed for the remainder of the ride.  Occasionally our tongues would meet but nothing was rushed or hurried.  It was very slow and sensual.  He loved me with his lips. 

We eventually did get off of the ride and wandered back to his car.  Edward opened my door for me and helped me get my seat belt on.  I raised an eyebrow at him and he just mouthed 'safety' to me.  He closed the door and then opened the back door and buckled in my bear.  I chuckled and he just winked when I looked back at him. 

Edward slid in and took off.  The drive was calming. 

"So what did you think?  Do you think we got the real New England experience?"  He asked. 

I giggled.  "Yeah, I think so." 

"Well let's see you went on a hay ride, we saw a fuck ton of pumpkins, you got an up close and personal view of a cow's ass and then we rode some awesome rides.  I think it was pretty all inclusive." 

"Mhm... I agree.  I especially liked the cow's ass."  I joked. 

"Me too.  But all kidding aside, I had a really great time."  He said, thoughtfully.

"Me too."

A long silence took over the cabin in the car before either of us spoke again.  And just as we were about half way home Edward broke that. 

"Bella... I think we need to talk.. But I don't wanna do it while I'm driving... But it needs to be soon."

"When we get home?"  I suggested.  What the fuck did he want to talk about? 

"I’d like to if that's alright with you."  He agreed.

I nodded and swallowed thickly.

*****

I must have fallen asleep because when I woke up next I was in Edward's bed.  It was soft and wonderful and smelt of him, but he wasn't anywhere to be found.  I gazed at the clock and it said four seventeen AM.  I groaned and went to look for him.

I shuffled through the living room and he was nowhere in sight and then I checked the kitchen again there was no Edward.  I walked down the hall to the study and it was empty as well.  That's when I figured I'd check my room for the hell of it. 

And I crack the door open and saw that beautiful man sprawled out in my bed sleeping soundly. 

Why the hell had he put me in his bed and then took mine?

Ugh men they were always so confusing.  I knew he would be would be mad about what I was going to do but I didn't care.  I lifted my comforter taking care not to disturb him and I climbed inside.  I wanted to be near him. 

When I was under the covers I wasn't satisfied.  What can I say I'm greedy.  Edward was only in boxers... typical sleep ware for him.  He had left me clothed so I took a moment to shimmy out of my jeans and lift off my t-shirt.  This was in no way intended to be something sexual, I just wanted skin to skin contact with him. 

I curled in to his side and pressed my body against him.  He instinctively wrapped his arms around me and I fell asleep quickly. 

Two dates down... one to go...

*****       

The next morning I awoke to Edward cursing loudly. 

"What the hell Bella?"  He mumbled grumpily.  

"What's the matter?"  I asked groggily as I wiped the sleep from my eyes.

"Why are you in here?"  He asked.

"Well it is my room..."  I muttered. 

"I gave you my bed."  He said softly.

"Yeah missing the one thing that belonged there."  I said under my breath.  Then I saw him.  I took in all of his gloriously almost naked body.  And he was still sporting morning wood despite his anger.  

"What was that?"  He asked, pulling me from my thoughts.  

"Nothing." 

"So why did you come in here?"  He asked.

"Because I woke up at four this morning in your bed and you weren't there.  So I got worried and went to find you.  When I did you were in my bed.  Alls I wanted to do was go back to sleep so I got in to my bed.  It's not my fault you were already in it."  I explained feigning innocence. 

"And you just happened to strip down to your undies in the process?"  He quirked an eyebrow at me.

"Hey you're not one to talk.  Mr. I sleep in my black briefs."  I said smirking.

"We didn't.. do anything right?"  He asked.

I shook my head no.  "No you were a perfect gentleman, you just wrapped your arms around me.  That's all."  I answered.

"Well that's good... What happened to our agreement?"  He asked seriously. 

"Listen, I wasn't trying to break the rules, I was half asleep I found you and yes I climbed in to MY bed with you.  I'm so very sorry."  So very sorry that nothing happened.   

"Bella I gave you my bed."  

"Why?"

"Because you said you weren't sleeping well in yours.  You fell asleep in the car and when I carried you in I didn't want it to be like the other night.  Where you woke up right after I moved you."

"Well thank you for thinking about me.  I'm sorry you're upset that I came in here last night, but I really wasn't trying to overtly break any of your rules."

"It's fine Bella.  I'm going to go take a shower.  Maybe we can go grab some breakfast later."  He suggested.  

"Sounds good."  I agreed.  

I remembered he wanted to talk and maybe he was planning on talking at breakfast.  

I showered quickly and tied my hair up.  Once I was finished getting dressed I met him in the kitchen.  

I knew looking at him that this could be a breakfast that would change our lives.   

Again, thank you all for reading!  Please review!  Thank you so much!
