Hiiii!

Bella and Edward are baack!

With the SEQUEL to: 'WORKING WITH THE ENEMY!' :D

Sorry about the wait.

But I told you I'd do one!

I hope your all still interested.

If you haven't read my first story: Working with the enemy. I suggest you go read that first and then come back, it will probably make more sense that way :)

Anyway here we go. I hope you enjoy this one as much as the first.

Enjoy!

Keeping the enemy

Chapter 1

'Look at this one' I laughed, throwing the photograph across the bed to Alice.

She picked it up and burst out laughing.

'Oh my gosh, we were totally wasted' she chuckled, as she looked at herself lying on the floor, skirt above her head, as I sat next to her trying to shove as many marshmallows in my mouth as I could.

I giggled as she passed it back to me and I put it in the box with the rest of the photos I'd taken off my notice board.

'This?' she asked, and I looked up to see her holding my favourite holey bed hoodie.

'Yes that's a definite!' I told her.

'Bella? Really?' she tutted, slowly moving her hand over the rubbish box.

'Alice!' I warned.

'Oh come on Bella, this is awful' she looked at the offending piece of clothing in disgust.

'Alice...am I asking you to wear it?' I exclaimed.

'Couldn't pay me enough babe' rolling her eyes, she threw it in the 'keep' box, not bothering to carefully fold it like she had all the others.

'Hope Edward hasn't seen you in that' she muttered, not quietly enough. 'Ow' she squeaked as the pair of balled up socks hit the back of her head.

She glared at me before flipping me the finger and going back to my wardrobe.

I giggled and started packing the things on my desk.

It was the end of August and Alice was helping me finish packing for college.

Luckily we had both gotten into the same college in California and Edward was going to a specialist music college just a short train ride away. It worried me a little, the thought of being away from him. I knew even though he wouldn't be far, I would miss him. We'd practially been together constantly for the last year!

I was going to study English literature and Alice, dance.

'What about this?' Alice suddenly piped up, showing me one of Edwards old t-shirts I'd borrowed a while back.

'It's Edward's, you'll have to ask him' I shrugged.

She huffed and flung it in the box of Edward's stuff we'd found horded in my room.

As if sensed he was being talked about, my phone started vibrating on the desk.

'Yep?' I answered, holding the phone between my ear and shoulder as I continued to shove things in boxes.

'I'm done at work, come over?' he asked.

'Can't, were still packing'

'I'll come to you then' he decided, and I could hear the engine of his car rev in the background.

'Okay, ooh and will you pick up some chips, we've run out' I asked as Alice shook the empty bowl at me.

'Kay. Be there in 10' he hung up.

I snapped my phone shut and threw it on the bed behind me.

Edward and I had been together nearly a year and things were really good. We were closer than ever, and even though we still bitched and moaned at each other, snapped and argued...it made us us. We worked. And obviously we were nice to each other too...sometimes. No, Edward could actually be pretty sweet, when he wanted to be, and that was actually more often than you might think.

I looked around my now nearly empty room and realised we were nearly done.

I slumped down on my bed and kicked Alice's feet, which were now hanging out from under the bed.

'What are you doing?' I asked nudging her again.

She slid out and glared at me. She stood up in front of me, and I noticed she was covered in dust.

'Bella, it's disgusting under there' she tutted, holding up an old looking sock.

I shrugged. 'So, it's not like I live under there'

'You know you're starting to sound just like Edward' she raised an eyebrow as she flung the sock in my face.

'Who sounds like me?' the man himself asked as he strolled in and threw the bag of chips at me, before crawling on the bed and positioning himself so his head was in my lap.

'Me apparently' I informed him, shoving my hand in his hair and massaging his head roughly.

'Pfft, you wish' he winked before closing his eyes and sighing.

'What's up?' I asked him, softening my strokes on his scalp.

'Just fucking tired' he groaned.

I leaned forward and placed a soft kiss on his forehead.

He grinned and pouted a little. I giggled and pecked his lips quickly.

'Hey Bella! Do you want this?' Alice squeaked, pulling me out of my staring at Edwards amazing fucking jaw. I looked up to see her holding my old ballet tutu. I raised an eyebrow.

'Erm, considering I haven't worn it since I was nine Alice, probably not' I laughed.

'Can I have it?' she asked. I looked at her face to see if she was taking the piss, but it seems she was deadly serious, her eyes pleaded for me to say yes.

'I guess' I shrugged. 'I don't know if it will fit...' I stopped mid-sentence as I watched her easily slip it over her jeans, before twirling around in front of the mirror.

'Thanks Belly' she squeaked.

'It's...okay' I chuckled, looking down at Edward who just shrugged and closed his eyes again.

'Oh shit, is that the time?' Alice said suddenly, scooping up her bag and shoes.

'Well, I haven't changed the clock' I said sarcastically.

'You' she pointed her finger at me sharply. 'Are spending way too much time with him, you sarcy bitch' she pointed between me and Edward.

'What?' I smirked, lifting my hands.

'Are you leaving?' I laughed, as Edward moaned at me to carry on massaging his head.

She glared at me, before smiling and quickly kissing my cheek.

'Byee, I'll text you about tomorrow night' she grinned as she raced out of my room.

'Your sister is strange' I sighed and lay my head back so it landed on my pillow, pushing my hand back into Edward's hair.

He looked up at me from my lap and grinned.

'I think it runs in the family' I winked.

'Fuck you' he pouted as he shoved his face into my stomach.

I giggled as I felt him moan as I tugged hard at his bronze hair.

He lifted his face and smirked at me, cocking an eyebrow quickly as he made his way up my body until his face reached mine.

I stared at him, into his amazing emerald eyes, at his mouth which had formed a sweet smile as he stared back at me, his hands which had found mine and twisted together with them, and the thought of ever being away from him suddenly hurt my heart. I sucked in a breath and squeezed his fingers.

'You okay baby?' he whispered softly.

'I'm, I'm just gonna miss you' I sighed, looking down at our hands.

'Bella, I won't be far' he chuckled quietly.

'I don't care, it's far enough'

'Don't be silly' he tsked.

'I'm not being silly!' I snapped, suddenly feeling a bit annoyed.

'Bella, it's an hour train ride' he said moving my arms around his back so I was pulled against his chest.

'Why are you making me feel like an idiot?' I sighed into him.

'You are being an idiot' he chuckled.

'Thanks' I groaned.

'Look, it's not a big deal babe, if you feel the need to hump me that bad, you'll only be an hour away' he laughed.

'Edward, i'm being serious' I said pulling back so I could glare at him.

'Bella, please will you just shut up, we have ages before we leave, stop worrying about shit'

'Two days is not ages Edward!' I argued.

'Please?' he sighed, putting a finger to my lips.

Softly he traced my lips with his thumb, before cupping my cheek in his palm.

I leaned into it and closed my eyes.

'Amazing' he said.

I opened my eyes as my cheek was suddenly free and I was falling forward, my face hitting the pillow.

'Edward?' I asked as I lifted my head to see him looking in one of the boxes on the floor.

'I didn't know you still had this?' he said loudly, the moment totally gone as he held up a hacky sack that me and Alice had found earlier.

I didn't say anything just frowned at him and shook my head.

'Count for me' he said, throwing it between his hands.

I laughed, amazed at how things had gone from serious to fun within seconds. But I didn't mind, it kind of told me he just wanted to enjoy our time together, before things changed.

'Okay' I grinned as he dropped the sack to his foot.

He looked up at me with a crooked smile and winked.

As I watched him kick it from one foot to the other, I realised just how much I loved the guy infront of me.

Now I just needed to tell him that.

So? Did you like?

As good as the first one?

Obviously this was just the re-introduction to Bella and Edward, and whats happening in their lives at the mo.

Nothing too exciting at the mo but LOTS of drama to come as they head off to college!

Really really hope you enjoyed!

Please leave me a REVIEW and let me know what you think.

Next chapter soon, if I get enough response
