A/N: In case you missed the title, this is the first outtake to Game, Set, Match so if you haven't read that yet I would recommend checking that out first.

You…came, you saw, you voted. And now you finally get to hear from Tennisward. I have to say I enjoyed writing him so hopefully I'll get to do more in the future *wink,wink* Please remember this takes place about 7 chapters into the original story.

Edward

"God Edward. What the fuck are you doing?" I whispered to myself as I stomped down her hallway. I pulled at my hair and sighed in frustration as I made my way down to the street. I wanted to fuck her senseless. And I wanted to hold her hand. Why? Why the fuck is this so complicated? I've never had this type of battle waging inside me before and it was driving me crazy. Which was it? Did I like the idea of screwing her or did I like the idea of being something more with her? It couldn't be both right? That doesn't happen. Especially to me.

I hailed a cab and went directly home even though I had the urge to find someone just to get off. I haven't fucked anyone since I met her and I couldn't understand why she affected me so much. The only time I almost slipped up was during the commercial shoot and even that felt wrong. I just had all this pent up frustration and I broke. It was this never-ending conflict between my dick and my…whatever it was. I wouldn't say it was my heart. I couldn't say that. She just made me feel like I'm not….me. Hell maybe I don't even know who me is.

When I got home that night I rubbed one out, thinking over everything that'd just happened in her apartment. There's no doubt in my mind that I would have fucked her if Jasper wouldn't have walked in and I didn't know how I felt about that. I mean I definitely wanted it, but a part of me wanted it to be more than that.

"Fuck!" I screamed, slamming my fist down on my bed as I found my release. Bella was turning my entire world upside down and I was breaking in two. I could feel it.

I eyed my phone sitting on my nightstand and tentatively grabbed it. I needed it. I needed it so bad and this whole whacking off thing could only do so much. I needed to feel her. I needed to feel…something. I scanned my phone, thinking of who I could call. Abby, Cassie, Grace, Melinda… I threw my phone down again and sighed. I can't. I picked my phone back up and scrolled through the names again, slowly deleting each one.

I didn't sleep. My mind kept racing through everything I'd been through and felt since I met Bella. I didn't know what this was but I didn't even know it was possible. It's like my entire body is on fire around her. And besides that it makes my stomach flip flop when I see her smile. Or laugh. Or tuck her damn hair behind her ear. Is this what a crush feels like? I've definitely felt desire and attraction before but this was something different. I just wanted to be close to her. And smell that delicious strawberry scent that just floated around her like she was the sun. Like she had her own strawberry scented gravity. It pulled me in from the moment I met…felt her and wouldn't let me go no matter how much I fought against it.

I finally got up and rolled out of bed, unable to lay there anymore. I'd been so consumed by my thoughts that I completely forgot it was my birthday. Alice had this whole thing planned for tonight and I wondered if she'd invited Bella. She hadn't said anything about it so I assumed not. Or maybe she didn't want to come. I wanted her to be there if I had to endure this whole birthday shit.

I hated birthdays with a fucking passion. Not really the concept of a birthday in general, but just mine. It just never seemed like it was anything special to…certain people. Of course Alice, Carlisle and Esme always celebrated with me, but I still wished my father would at least acknowledge it more than a card signed by his secretary. He thought I didn't fucking recognize the difference.

I pulled on some different clothes and a hat before I stepped outside. It was cold this morning, just crisp enough that I thought I might be able to sort out my thoughts. Or maybe it would be better if I didn't think of anything at all. Just a clean slate.

I ran for a while, feeling the intense burn in my lungs. I rounded the corner and stopped dead in my tracks. In the small park across the street I saw the familiar waves of brown curls cascading down the girl's back. I knew it was Bella before I even saw her snapping pictures. I smiled to myself and despite my mind telling me to leave, I found myself jogging across the street.

"Bella?"

She spun around, her eyes widening as she took in my appearance. I raised my arms above my head and tried to catch my breath.

We made small talk for a few moments and I won't lie I was a little disappointed when she told me I couldn't see her pictures. I made her promise to show me her darkroom sometime and I instantly regretted it. Sex in the darkroom was now added to my Bella fantasy file. Good one Cullen.

I jokingly took her camera and snapped some pictures even though I had no idea what the hell I was doing. It was kind of fun being with her like this, no pressure. It was just…light. I didn't expect her to actually follow through with my hostage demands so when she pressed her lips to my skin I shuddered. My eyes fluttered shut as a slew of images ran through my head, most them dealing with every other time her lips had been on me. I felt myself grow hard and I wondered if she could feel it.

As soon as she stepped back I cleared my throat and handed her back her camera. She turned around and started walking away.

Ask her about tonight, I told myself. I wanted to ask her more than that. I wanted to ask her if I could bend her over that stone bench or if I could just maybe take her out to dinner on Friday. I wasn't really one for actual dates but maybe it wouldn't be so bad with her.

"Bella! Wait!" I grabbed her arm and spun her back around. "I uh…wanted to ask you something. Well two somethings I guess." I bit my tongue. I didn't mean for that last part to slip out. It wasn't that I didn't want it but I didn't know if I was ready for it or if she'd even say yes. I'd kind of been a dick to her.

"Okay?"

"Well we're all going out tonight and I was wondering if you wanted to join us. We're headed to this club downtown."

"Emmett letting you ride the alcohol train tonight?"

I didn't think this whole thing through. I wasn't keen on telling her the occasion but I knew she'd find out somehow. I mumbled something about it being my birthday and she reacted just like most people do. I relaxed a little when she said she'd come and almost forgot about the second half of my inquisition.

"There was something else?" She asked.

Fuck. "Uh….yeah." Why was I so fucking nervous? I was just asking her out to dinner it didn't warrant all this anxiousness. "I was wondering if you wanted to go out to dinner with me on Friday." I held my breath, going back over what I'd just said in my head to make sure it came out okay.

She of course misinterpreted my question and I couldn't blame her. She sure as hell knew I wasn't a date guy. I corrected her and winced a little, feeling a little guilty for once about my public image and how that must look to her.

"Like a date?" She asked. She looked annoyed. Maybe this was a bad idea.

"No," I stuttered. "I mean…I don't know do you want it to be?"

She smirked and I felt something in my chest flutter. "Edward are you asking me out on a date?"

"Yeah. I guess I am." I nodded, gauging her reaction. I'd just made myself more vulnerable than I ever planned on and it terrified me. She just stared at me for a few moments and I was convinced she thought I was fucking crazy. "I'm sorry," I whispered. I turned around and started walking away, cursing myself for being such an idiot.

"Okay," she called. I was so wrapped up in my thoughts I almost didn't hear her.

"What?" I spun around.

"Okay. I'll go out with you on Friday."

I blinked several times, trying to process what she just said. I must be dreaming because I fucking swear she just said yes. "Yeah?"

"Yeah." She shrugged.

I mumbled something about calling her later and jogged off, feeling completely high and just…fucking happy. I usually didn't feel this way unless I'd just had a good fuck.

I had lunch with Alice and told her about this morning, except for the whole date thing. I didn't want her to lecture me about fucking everything up, which I was sure I would do. I didn't want to, but I also didn't trust myself with anything more than just casual hookups. I figured there was a reason I never had a real relationship and it was probably something to do with me. She was elated that Bella was coming and offered to invite her to get ready with them. I warned her about going crazy on her with all her clothes and shit, but I knew she wasn't listening. Half of me was anxious to see what she would put Bella in for the evening. I'd have to keep the Devil Edward sitting on my left shoulder from making an appearance. I wanted to be good tonight. I didn't want Bella to change her mind about Friday because I fucked up.

I called Bella a little later and told her the details just as Alice showed up at her door. I said a silent prayer and wished her luck with Alice before I hung up.

I laid around for a little bit before heading over to Emmett's. Jasper was going to meet us over there before we headed out for the night. Alice had planned for us to eat at this nice restaurant and then head to the club.

"Happy Birthday!" Emmett wrapped me in a man hug as soon as he opened his door. I thanked him and stepped inside, setting my clothes for tonight on the chair.

"What time is Jasper coming?"

"He should be here in about a half hour." Emmett grabbed me a beer out of fridge and handed it to me. "Remember, just because I'm okay with you drinking tonight does not mean you're allowed to make it a normal thing."

I rolled my eyes and took a sip. I eventually migrated to the bathroom and got dressed. I decided to go with an all black look tonight and hoped that Bella would like it. God what does that even mean? Why do I fucking care if she likes it? Because you like her fuckwad.

I cleared my throat and sprayed on some light cologne before stepping out. I noticed Jasper sitting at the bar drinking a beer with Emmett and said hello. I was really starting to like him. I could see why him and Bella were so close. They were both sarcastic and a little annoying but when it got down to it they were fun to be around.

We all had another beer before heading to the restaurant. The girls weren't there yet so we waited at the bar. I leaned back and started talking to Jasper about something random when I felt her step into the room. It was like every hair on my body stood up as the goosebumps rolled over my skin.

I turned my head towards the door and my breath hitched in my throat. My eyes drifted past Rose and Alice directly to her. She had on a beautiful navy blue dress that was just….fuck. I licked my lips and almost gave up on being good. Bella wrapped in blue made me want to be bad. I tried to push that back, but I knew it was going to slip out every now and then tonight.

"Bella…you look beyond stunning. The perfect birthday present." I placed my hand gently on the small of her back and started leading her through the restaurant. I glanced at her from the corner of my eye and cleared my throat. I wonder if she's wearing matching lingerie. "Do I get to unwrap you later?" I whispered, brushing my lips across her ear.

She tensed a little as we walked through the restaurant but I was too distracted by her to feel anything but desire.

We finally reached the table and I pulled out her chair for her, only to see her stumble over her own feet. She fell into me and I smelled the alcohol on her breath. Alice managed to get her drunk before dinner. Nice.

"Have you been drinking?" I asked.

"Why would you say that? You know I'm not the most graceful person," she said, trying to make excuses.

"I can smell it on your breath," I said, sitting her down and making my way around the table. I watched her as the waitress walked over and took our drink orders, wondering what she would do next. It was almost like I was watching some kind of show and it was thoroughly intriguing to me. She was completely mesmerizing and I found myself hypnotized by her every move.

"Jumbo please," Bella said, ordering a mammoth drink.

"Do you really think you need that much Bella?" I teased. No one else was paying attention to us and I was thankful for that. I was fighting the urge to leap across the table and take her right here. That wasn't something someone can hide very well. I tipped my beer back and waited for her response.

"I like it big."

I choked on my beer and laughed as I set it back down.

The waitress took our food orders and I was surprised in a very good way that Bella ordered a cheeseburger. It was like she was on some never-ending quest to prove to me how different and remarkable she was.

As soon as the waitress set our food down Bella licked her lips and I moaned under my breath. So sexy. I wonder if I could get anything else out of her. I discreetly slipped my shoe off and snaked my leg across the table, gently brushing against hers. I knew I'd found the right one when she froze and glared at me. Interesting. I traced my foot up and down her leg, coming closer to the hem of her dress every time. I could tell she was fighting her reaction and that made it so much hotter. Her plan was backfiring horrendously and I was benefiting from it. It was hot as hell.

My buzzed feeling instantly disappeared when Emmett told the waitress about my birthday. In his defense I don't think he knew how much I fucking hated it, but I was still pissed and panicked nonetheless. I knew what usually happened in restaurants. They did some huge embarrassing display and everyone looks at you and smiles like everything is fucking rainbows and butterflies. Fuck that.

"Yeah it's my birthday!" Bella yelled. My brow furrowed in confusion as I stared at her, wondering why the hell she just did that. I was thankful as hell but I still didn't get it. She couldn't…understand. Could she?

The singing and clapping started soon enough and she just sat there and took it. I would have freaked the fuck out. They set a big bowl of ice cream in front of her and left. As soon as they were gone she pushed it over to me.

"They gave it to you." I pushed it back, thinking she deserved it after that ridiculous display. She of course argued with me and so I offered to share. I didn't really care about the ice cream I just wanted an excuse to be closer to her.

I got up and sat next to her as we passed the spoon back and forth. I asked her when her birthday was and offered her the last bite. She graciously took it, dropping some chocolate sauce all over her lip. Sweet mother of God I want to bite it.

"You've got some chocolate," I mumbled, staring intently at her lips. She reached up for brush it away but I stopped her. It would at least give me an excuse to touch her. "I got it." I reached out and ran my finger lightly along her lip, collecting the chocolate. I didn't even think when I brought it back to my mouth and sucked it in. For all I knew we were in our own world, completely alone. I'd forgotten I was in crowded restaurant with my friends. I wanted to kiss her so fucking bad it was like my body was going to spontaneously combust. Just as I decided to go for it Alice's voice echoed in my ear, bringing me back to reality.

"Alright everyone, let's go dance!"

We all left the restaurant and I had to help Bella along. Apparently the jumbo size was a little too much for her little body to handle. I didn't mind. I tucked her into my side and relished the feeling of her body flush against mine.

I laughed when she went to stand in line. I didn't want to sound conceited, but I'm Edward Cullen. I don't wait in lines. People usually pay me to show up at their clubs just to get press.

I made sure she was steady as I placed her next to Alice. She ordered a whiskey and I have to admit I admired her ferocious attitude towards drinking but she was going to have it rough in the morning. I handed the bartender my credit card, despite Bella's protests, and told them to put all of our drinks on my tab.

I walked over and joined Emmett and Jasper just as they ordered a few shots of Johnny Vegas. That stuff always got me in trouble but I didn't say no. That devil on my shoulder was looking for it.

I downed my second shot and felt someone caress my arm. I glanced down and saw Bella down the bar so I knew it wasn't her. I turned towards the girl and saw a vaguely familiar blonde chick. I couldn't tell her name for the life of me but I wouldn't doubt that we'd fucked before. Girls didn't usually come up to me like that unless I'd already been in their pants.

I was vaguely aware of what she was saying to me so I just laughed and nodded, hoping she wouldn't notice. All of my focus was drawn to the blushing brunette in the blue dress.

"Body shots!" Alice screamed to the bartender. I sighed and tried to look away. I didn't want to see my sister doing anything of a sexual nature…ever. It was an instant downer in the dick department. I was a little relieved to see it was just with Rose but it was still fucking wrong, especially when I saw the guys gushing over it.

"How about you do one off me?" Blondie said. I turned back towards her and shook my head. "Come on. You liked it last time. You even took me into your little private room and did one from my…"

"No," I said, pushing her gently away. "I'm not interested." She scowled and walked away as I turned back towards Bella. My fists clenched at my sides when I saw the guy dip down and brush his lips across her arm. Mine.

I stomped over, noticing the rest of our group was nowhere to be found, and snaked my arms around her waist. I threw the guy a death stare and bent down to her ear. "Dance with me."

I didn't wait for her to answer; I just started pulling her away.

"Excuse me?" Her friend seemed a little pissed. "We're a little busy."

Are you fucking kidding me? I could pummel this guy with my pinky and he felt like staking his claim over my girl. But she's not your girl Edward. "I'm sorry did you say something Abercrombie?" I snapped. My fingers gently massaged against Bella's skin as I tried to hold it together.

"Come on," Bella purred, taking my face between her hands. I felt myself instantly relax. "Let's go."

I glared at the guy once more, not even recognizing the noise rumbling from my chest. I didn't know I was capable of something like that. I knew I was possessive but this was something else.

"Edward I don't think I can do this…" She said as I pulled her to the dance floor. I wasn't necessarily a great dancer, but nowadays it was just like fucking with clothes on. And I was a master of that.

"Just relax." I led her away from the rest of our group so we could have some privacy. I didn't need Jasper or Alice getting pissed that I was feeling her up. I almost bit my lip in anticipation as I spun her around and pulled her body back to me. I caressed my finger down her arm and pulled I up behind my neck as I started grinding myself against her. I was already hard as fuck and I needed the friction.

I took the opportunity to let my hands explore her body, brushing over her delicious breasts and hips. I grabbed onto them firmly and pulled her back to me as I thrust forward. I moaned and let my head fall forward into her hair.

"I want you so bad Bella…" I whispered, feeling bad Edward take over. Any good intentions I had earlier were gone. I started massaging my fingers across her body, inching more and more towards her center each time. I'd been denied the pleasure of touching her there twice and I wasn't about to let it slip away now. I grunted as my fingers felt the warmth through her dress and panties. I couldn't take it anymore. I wanted her now. "See that curtain over there…" I nodded towards my secret room. I actually paid a monthly fee for that room and I won't lie I never used it for anything honorable, but if I didn't get her somewhere private I knew I was at the point where I would do what I wanted right here on the dance floor. "Meet me there in five."

I backed up and walked away, slightly adjusting myself as I made my way towards the curtain.

"Hey Joey," I mumbled to the guy who always stood guard outside. "See that girl in the blue dress." I nodded towards Bella. "She'll be joining me in five minutes."

He knew the drill; I didn't need to explain anything else. I disappeared inside and sat down on the couch. I took off my jacket and set it down beside me as I waited. I felt the full affects of the alcohol coursing through my veins in warm vibrations. I licked my lips, anxious for her to get here.

She finally stepped in, looking a little nervous. I motioned her over and pulled her between my legs. I reached up behind her knee, running my hand across her silky skin. It made me wonder if she was that soft everywhere. I growled and tugged a little, forcing her to collapse on top of me.

"You want to know the best thing about this room?" I asked, my eyes traveling down her body.

"Hmm?"

"You can scream as loud as you want to and no one will hear you." I leaned forward and kissed her roughly, forcing her lips apart with my tongue. She tasted like heaven. Her hands started drifting across my body as she finally let go and allowed herself to feel.

I pulled my lips away from hers and drifted down to her neck, nibbling and tasting the skin there as my hand yanked her dress strap down. My breath hitched in my throat when she moved her hips against me. I hissed as she did it again and found myself biting down on her skin, marking her as mine. I sat back and let my head fall lazily behind me as she worked on me. Her fingers numbly navigated the top few buttons on my shirt and the next thing I knew her tongue was all over my chest. I wanted it over every inch of my body.

I reached around and grabbed hold of her ass, pushing her center against my dick again. I migrated up and dipped under the hem of her dress, finally reaching her underwear. I didn't hesitate as I slipped a finger inside and moaned how good she felt.

"I want to touch you," she whispered. I wasn't going to argue so I just kept working on her as she unzipped my pants and dipped her hand inside my boxers. I hissed when she touched my length but quickly found myself speeding towards my release at her touch.

"Edward!" I heard Alice yell outside. It distracted me momentarily before I went back to Bella. Her hand froze in panic and she looked like she was about to jump up and run away. And I couldn't have that.

"It's okay baby, she doesn't know this room exists…" I purred, leaning forward to taste her neck again. She finally melted against my body and started stroking me again. I was so close, I could feel all the frustrations building up inside me and they were about to break. I groaned as I finished against her hand and devoured her lips again. That was fucking amazing.

"Mr. Cullen?" Joey called.

"Yeah Joey?" I mumbled, not wanting to tear my mouth away from hers.

"I would suggest you not keep Miss Cullen waiting much longer. She's on the rampage looking for you."

"Okay thanks."

Bella started to get up but I pulled her back down. If it were any other girl I would have let her go without finishing her off. I was a selfish asshole and to be honest as long as I got mine I didn't give a fuck if the girl got off or not. But this wasn't anyone. This was Bella. And ever since watching her come undone that first time in the locker room I wasn't ever going to pass that up again.

"No I'm not done with you yet." I pulled her back and forced her down on the couch. I hovered above her and started working furiously, captivated by the look on her face. It almost made me go over the edge again. "Are you close?"

She nodded and whimpered as she writhed below me.

"Bella…" I leaned down and took her ear between my teeth. "I can't wait to be inside you." I smirked as I felt her whole body shudder with her release but I didn't stop my fingers right away. I wanted to feel everything. I wanted to feel what I'd done to her. "Wait a few minutes before you come out."

I quickly reassembled myself before starting back out, licking my fingers on the way. I couldn't wait another minute to taste her like that. I couldn't imagine what'd it be like to be with her that way. I don't think I would ever get enough.

Alice found me quickly and asked if I was ready to go. I nodded and headed towards the bar to close my tab, still buzzing from Bella. Abercrombie was still sitting at the bar and I smiled at him as I walked by. I won fucker.

I closed my tab and headed back to the group. Bella had joined them, her face flushed and her hair in a mess. I smirked to myself knowing that I'd done that.

We headed outside and hailed two cabs. Emmett had something special planned for the boys while the girls had their little sleepover. All I could think about was Bella bouncing around in pigtails having a pillow fight. Maybe I could convince her to do that with me.

I gave her one last look before I got in the cab. Emmett whispered something to the driver and we were off.

I groaned as well pulled up in front of the strip joint. Normally I'd be all for it, but I felt like it was just going to taint the time I'd just spent with Bella. And plus after seeing and being with her like that, there's no way any of these chicks would do it for me. No fucking way. I was still horny as fuck though so I didn't argue too much.

He led Jasper and I inside and to a reserved table at the front. He instantly bought me two shots and a lap dance, telling the stripper it was my birthday.

"Oh is that right?" She purred. I nodded and downed my second shot. "Well hopefully I can make it a happy one." I smiled and decided to just let myself enjoy this. It was just a lap dance and it was my birthday. It wasn't like I was fucking her or anything.

Apparently my dick didn't feel the same way because as soon as she started grinding on me it sprung to attention. Emmett and Jasper were laughing as they watched, occasionally tucking more money into her g-string.

"What's your name?" I asked as she rubbed her boobs against my chest.

"Candy." She licked her lips and turned around, brushing her body down mine. "You're a cutie you know that?"

"Yeah?" I smirked. I was flirting with her and I didn't even mean to. As bad as it sounds I guess it was just a natural reaction for me.

"Come with me," she whispered. She pulled me up out of the chair and led me away from Emmett and Jasper. Jasper narrowed his eyes at me for some reason and Emmett just cheered me on.

Candy led me down a dark hallway and into a private room. She closed the door behind us and pushed me down onto the chair. The room was completely dark except for a small red light hanging above us. It almost reminded me of a darkroom. Darkroom. Pictures. Bella.

I closed my eyes and shook my head as Candy started kissing my neck. She crawled onto my lap and grabbed my hand, forcing it to her chest.

No Edward. You like Bella. Don't do this. It'll fuck everything up.

Candy rubbed her hips against mine and I felt myself react instinctively. I didn't want it to but my dick wanted it. I couldn't help it. She forced her lips onto mine and I found myself kissing her back just for the slightest moment. Maybe I could…

No. I pulled back and stared at the blank wall behind her. She didn't taste right. Or smell right. Or feel right. She wasn't Bella and I didn't want her.

"What's wrong baby?" Candy murmured, reaching beneath her and stroking me through my pants.

"I can't do this." I let my hands fall to my sides as I sat back.

"Oh I think you can. And I think you want to." She nodded down to my crotch and smiled.

"Get off me please." I said, pinching the bridge of my nose. This was a mistake.

"What?" She asked.

"Get off!" I yelled, starting to get pissed. This chick couldn't take a hint. I mean I know I shouldn't have come back here with her in the first place but I didn't want this. I wanted Bella. It was hard for me to admit that I wanted her like that. I was beginning to realize it was definitely more than physical and as much as I wanted to fight it I wanted to be good for her.

Candy stood up and I stormed out of the room. I told Jasper and Emmett that I was tired and left, not waiting for them to convince me to stay. I quickly hailed a cab and went home, completely frustrated by this whole thing. I didn't know if I could be good for her. I had this ability to epically fuck good things up, but I wanted to try. I needed to test myself and see if I could do it before I told her because I didn't want to hurt her. I didn't want to tell her all these things and then fuck up. I wanted to be sure. And Friday would be a good opportunity to start over with her.

I texted her on the way back to my house. When I got there I had a few more drinks to calm myself down and then texted her again. And then everything went black and the next thing I knew I woke up on my living room floor with my phone open beside me. She hadn't texted me back. I felt this aching in my chest as I stared at my blank screen. I finally pulled myself off the floor and took a shower before calling Emmett. I needed to talk to him about this shit before I broke into a million fucking pieces. Happy fucking birthday to me.

A/N: Sigh. I think I love him even more. I love his whole incoherent ramblings to himself and the whole war between good and bad Edward. I don't think Bella had any idea that all that was really going on in his head. And who knew that Emmett was in on the whole thing from this point? He may play a little dumb sometimes but I don't think we give him enough credit ; )
