Chapter 1: Director's "CUT!"

Edward's POV

"Will you still love me in the morning?"

She smiled that gentle smile, her delicate fingers grazing my jaw line, sending electricity flowing through my veins. Her eyes became radiant, like an angel's. I felt like my heart would pop at any moment now.

"Forever and ever, babe."

Her voice was heavenly, in every way enticing. Her face slowly reached up to mine, and I knew what I wanted to do the most.

Ah. You don't know what you do to me, woman.

I didn't hesitate as my lips crashed down on hers. Her lips were soft, as always, and luscious. They moved with mine ever so gracefully, that it sent new, bigger waves of electricity flowing through my body. My hands instinctively went around her waist, pulling her fragile body closer to mine. She placed her hands at the back of my neck, clutching my face firmly on hers, like she was afraid I would break our kiss.

Not in this lifetime.

It seemed like we were kissing for hours. The lighting was perfect, the scenery behind us phenomenal. But the best thing was the girl I was kissing. She was perfect – no, she was beyond perfect – she was what I lived for.

"CUT!"

Then suddenly, my paradise collapsed. Her hands went down at her sides and she pulled away her face from mine, leaving an inch gap in between our faces.

She pushed herself away from my body, but was unable to do so. My hands were still firm around her waist, but she was struggling to pull away.

No, I won't let go.

She didn't look up at me. She just took a deep breath and sighed, her hands on my chest. "Edward…" her voice was annoyed, but pleading.

Hesitantly, I broke my ring of hold around her waist. She still didn't look up at me as she walked away.

"Bella! That was awesome!" A high pitched voice echoed as a pixie-like creature emerged from behind the set and hugged Bella… Alice.

"Wow! Is it me or is it getting hot in here?" A tall blonde haired figure followed Alice and joined their group hug. Rosalie.

I just stood there, reminiscing the recent of many passionate kisses I've just shared with Bella. I was in heaven at those times all right. But when the camera stops rolling, I was suddenly dragged into the fiery pits of hell. How pathetic am I?

I went back to my trailer, realizing my ticket to heaven for the day was already expired. It was a long, shitty walk back to my trailer, receiving many compliments and some thumbs up along the way about the great films we would be getting from what we shot today.

Gah. If only people knew…

But the production team insisted Bella and I act as real-life couples. I wish. They said it would be the best for our image – you know, while we share intimate kisses in front of the public eye. At first, I thought that it was perfect. This could be the start that could lead to a real relationship with Bella.

What a fool I've been! It only made things worse for me!

We've already been Hollywood's 'hottest couple' for almost a year. But we were never actually a couple in real-life.

Oh, how harsh that was! It's like letting me taste the most delicious thing in Earth. Having my mind know how delectable she is, and when I'm about to savor her, the world reminds me how much she isn't mine to taste.

And I get to experience this shit everyday.

Oh, the joy.

I feel like a shell, the torture slowly eating away my insides. When this keeps going, pretty soon I'm going to just that – a shell, empty inside.

My trailer was the third biggest on set, next to Alice and Rosalie's fully stocked trailers. Bella's trailer was just as big as mine. She didn't really care much about what she looked like. Not that she needed to care… She was perfect.

The only problem is… she was not mine, or anybody else's.

About a year ago after we finished shooting her first ever sitcom, I actually asked her to go out with me. She agreed, saying it was best to get to know who she'll be working with.

I had fun that night. I know she had fun too. I saw a different side to the Bella I knew on set for 2 months. She laughed freely; her face was radiating happiness even through the stress of shooting.

After that first sitcom, the 'Edward and Bella' couple gained some of Hollywood's attention. Commercial appearances became nationwide, then worldwide when news placed us in headlines when we were seen in local restaurants together.

We continued going out when our schedules allowed us to. Everything was perfect. It was then I realized that I was in love with her.

It was in that fateful night, our last real date…

--

"Edward! This place is amazing! I can't believe they have the statue of Adonis here. It's awesome. Thank you…"

I could tell she was really excited about the place. I couldn't help but feel good when that million dollar smile instantaneously broke out from her face. Like a said, it was phenomenal.

We had dinner like any other night, laughing at anything.

"Oh! Edward! I can't…laugh…anymore!" Bella was laughing incessantly, holding her stomach, "Believe it or not, you're the only one that gives me stomach aches while laughing. I really love you!"

Her last statement made my heart flutter. I know she'd been telling me those words many times before. I know she'd been using those just in vain, but still…

Now's your chance!

"Yes, I love you too…"

I stared at her, still laughing. When she realized I wasn't joining in her laughing, she stopped with a confused look in her eyes. Her eyes widened, and then…sadness?

I let my words sink in a little deeper. We stared at each other like that for what seemed like hours until she shook her head slightly.

A sigh escaped her lips. "Edward…"

"Look, Bella. We've been going out for a time now and we are kind of together…unofficially. I just wanted to say…"

"Edward -"

"Will you be my girlfriend?"

The words blurted out of my mouth. I couldn't wait anymore. I wanted her for myself. I wanted to call her mine.

"I'm sorry, Edward. I don't think we… it's just... but we've only known each other for 5 months."

"I know…But…but I feel as though I've known you forever."

"But you haven't."

"Yes…" I knew then, I had no chance. But…I was desperate, "But, I feel it. I mean, am I off-based here? Don't you feel it too?"

She took deep breath and sighed.

Ah. Even her breathing entices me.

"Yes. Yes, I do."

"So, what's the problem?"

Her eyebrows creased as if she was in deep thought. If you were mine, I'd never let anything cause your face to be filled with worry.

"I just don't think that I want us in that kind of relationship."

I definitely had no chance. She didn't love me. We're just friends. It was my turn to sigh. Are you going to cry Cullen?

"Edward," she reached out to me, her touch still sending electricity coursing through my veins. "I have to go. See you around."

And with that, my paradise started to rock on top of hell.

--

The inside of my trailer was just the way I wanted it to be; warm colored bed, cool shaded tables and a fridge. Ah, the Super Fridge 9000. Just what I need.

I made myself a giant submarine sandwich, some popcorn and a couple of beers.

It's going to be another long, lonely, night.

I just want to warn you that most chapters are EPOV.. XD

So…do you like?
