I woke up hearing a buzz. I opened my eyes and looked around. My eyes stopped on Bella, sleeping beside me, with her head close to my shoulder, and her hand resting on my chest. I smiled remembering last night, and heard the buzz again. I looked for the sound, and realized it was my cell on my jeans. Fuck, I was late. I slid out of bed, careful to not wake her up, she sighed and turned around, snuggling in a pillow. I put on my boxer briefs and my jeans and walked out quietly. I entered my apartment, and was careful dodging all boxes in the way. Alice was insane. I entered my bathroom, and my cell rang again. I answered while turning on the shower.
"Yeah?" I asked.
"Dude, where are you?" Emmett asked. "I thought we agreed to have breakfast before work"
"Sorry man, I overslept. I'm going to take a shower and change, and I meet you in… An hour"
"You take longer getting ready than Rose" he laughed and hung up.
I took a quick shower, and put dark blue pants and a pale brown shirt, and brown shoes and went out. I looked at Bella's door for a moment, not exactly knowing what to do. I decided to go, since we have agreed it was one time, and things would go back to normal. I never talked to her before work, so normal was to go to work. I got some coffee and went to work thinking of last night. I shook my head, trying to erase the thoughts, and saw Emmett in the lobby.
"Hey" I said.
He looked at me with an arched eyebrow.
"The Chief Editor late?" he asked amusedly.
"Sorry. Overslept. I spent time fixing some things for Alice last night"
Shit. Bella would have problems with the invitations now, we didn't even touch them. Alice would freak.
"Rose was bothering me to help her choose the perfect shade of cerise. I didn't even know that color existed"
"Yeah. The wedding plans suck" I said.
The elevator arrived and we got in. I looked at my schedule in my Blackberry and smiled. I just have to solve a couple things and then I was free.
"How is that article about NFL?" I asked Emmett.
"It's ready. Dude, I texted you about it last night! Where was your head?"
Between Bella's legs. I smiled and shook my head.
"Sorry, I didn't see" I said.
"Are you alright?" he asked, "You're weird. You never miss a text or oversleep"
I was more than fine. Last night was amazing and it was the best sex ever.
"Sorry, just… tired"
He nodded and we got out of the elevator. He went to his office to work on the Sports section, and I went to my office. Jasper was running around, between work and wedding. Alice would kill the man.
"Hey, Jasper!" I called as he passed running.
He stopped and almost dropped one of the many folders he was carrying.
"Yeah?"
"Everything alright?"
"Yeah, yeah"
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah!"
"Okay. And the article about the freaking UK recession?"
"Shit" he grumbled.
"You don't have it?" I said angrily.
"No, I do! It's in my laptop! I just forgot to send to you! Sorry, I'll send to you… Now!"
I nodded and he went running to his office. A few minutes later, I added Jasper's article to the magazine's sketch, and was having to decide between two photos of some celebrity when my PA came running.
"Mrs. Cullen?"
"Yeah?" I asked not taking my eyes from the computer.
"Ms. Swan is in the lobby"
"Oh" I said, my head snapping up, "Okay, I'm going to… check what she wants"
"Okay"
I clicked in the best photo, grabbed my things and went to the elevator. I was almost bouncing in the elevator. I took a deep breath, needing to calm down, and ran my fingers through my hair. Great, Edward. To show you're not nervous run your fingers through your hair! I shook my head and got out of the elevator. I looked around and saw Bella sitting in one of the couches there was in the lobby. I walked to her, and she smiled shyly at me before getting up.
"Hi" she said.
I hesitated a moment before kissing her cheek.
"Hi" I said, realizing I never greeted her like this.
She looked around, shifting in her spot, and put her hands in the back pockets of her shorts.
"Can we go for a walk?" she asked.
"Yeah, sounds… great" I said.
She nodded and turned around. I smiled and followed her, admiring her ass, that looked great on this tight jeans shorts. Once we were in the street, I walked beside her, and without a word said we walked to Central Park. We were quiet the whole walk, and I didn't mind, though it was a little uncomfortable.
"So…" she started and sighed, "About last night…"
"Sorry. I just got out this morning without a word…"
"No, it's fine. We agreed no emotions, and waking up would be… awkward"
"Yeah. But I was worried, didn't you have work?"
"Just later" she said.
"Oh, okay"
She nodded and we walked in silence for a couple minutes.
"We shouldn't do it again" she suddenly said.
"No. It was a one time thing, and it would get weird if we continued" I agreed.
"So, you agree? Good" she said relieved. "And no one will know"
"No one"
"Okay. Great" she said.
We stopped walking and turned to each other.
"But nothing changed. We're still neighbors, and still best friends. And this won't affect anything" I said.
"Thank you. I was worried…"
I nodded.
"A drawing of the lovely couple!"
We turned to see one of those artists that worked on the park, and she had drawn me and Bella. It was really good. Bella smiled weakly, and I took some money from my pocket and gave the lady. She gave me the picture and I turned to Bella. We looked at the drawing and back to each other. Next thing I know, we were getting to her apartment, making out.
"Okay, we're doing this again" Bella said against my lips.
"Yeah. But as agreed no emotions or feelings" I said kissing her neck.
"Oh God, definitely. Sounds amazing" she said breathless.
She attacked my neck as she worked on my pants' zipper, and I took her bottom in my hands.
"Edward" she whispered.
I groaned and pushed down her shorts. She kicked them off, and I gripped her thighs, lifting her. She wrapped her legs around my waist, and I started stumbling to the bedroom. She rubbed her core on me, and I sneezed. She pulled back from my neck and arched an eyebrow.
"Already?" she asked slightly amused.
I grinned and pushed my erection against her, showing I was just kidding. She giggled and I attacked her breast. We fell on bed with me on top, and considering we just had sex last night we were incredibly turned on. There wasn't fooling around, we went straight to business. I pushed into her and she moaned, her nails digging on my shoulders. With last night and today, I would have marks, but I didn't care, I liked it. I gripped her thighs as I went deeper, harder, and her hands were in my waist, sometimes feeling my abs.
"Edward" she moaned.
"Fuck, Bella" I grunted.
She locked her legs around my hips, making her feel impossibly tighter, but heavenly good. I stopped for a moment, trying to control myself from coming, and she whimpered. I slid my hands to her lower back, and brought her up, so she was sitting, her legs still locked around my hips. The movement, made her moan, and I smiled smugly, before attacking her breast with my mouth.
"Edward" she breathed.
I groaned against her skin, and thrust into her. She started moaning louder with every thrust.
"Come for me" I whispered in her ear, and bit her earlobe.
Her hips started meeting my thrusts, and soon she started shaking.
"Oh! Edward!" she screamed, and her walls tightened around my cock.
She didn't have strength to hold herself, her body was limp, and I had to hold her to me. She breathed heavy, and I slowed down, waiting for her to calm down. She looked into my eyes, and snaked her hands in my hair, massaging my scalp, and kissed me. A slow, sensual, soft kiss, and started grinding on me, and my hands tightened in her waist. Her hands trailed down from my head, her fingers brushing in sensitive spots, making me have gooseflesh. She caressed my chest, abs, ass, gripping it tightly, making me grunt in her mouth, and without me noticing she snaked a hand between us, and ever so gently trailed a finger in my balls, before cupping it. I was undone. I grunted in her mouth again, and fell on top of her, breathing heavy, and still connected to her. She ran her finger through my hair softly, soothingly while I came down from my high. I kissed her shoulder, trailing up, took her earlobe in my mouth, and nibbled on it, feeling her shiver under me. She pulled me closer and I realized I was lying on top of her.
"Sorry" I said rolling over, bringing her on top of me.
"Why?" she asked, throwing her hair over one shoulder to see me.
"I was lying on top of you…"
"You're not heavy. I mean, you're heavy, but it wasn't uncomfortable"
I smiled and she smiled back. She kissed me softly and rolled off me.
"So, we're doing this?" she asked getting up from bed.
"Yeah, if you want to"
"I want to" she said opening her closet. "I don't have time to date, though I wished I had. I need someone to… help me distressing, not caring I got home at two in the morning, and I don't want foreplay"
"I hate foreplay" I said putting my arms behind my head.
"So, we're just going to keep this up. Sex, with no emotions, no feelings, and no strings attached"
"Sounds good. Friends with benefits"
She smiled at me over her shoulder and put on underwear.
"I have to go to work. You're welcome to stay. But I think your sister will come to drop something, and if she finds you naked in my bed, it will complicate things"
"Okay" I said getting up. "So, just to be clear. No one will know?"
"No, no one. It would complicate everything"
"Okay" I said putting my boxer briefs.
She put on a blouse, a pencil skirt and heels, pulled her hair in a ponytail, and got her purse. She walked to me and gave me a kiss.
"I thought you were going to work" I whispered against her lips.
"I am" she said smiling against my lips.
"So why are you kissing me like this? Just to get me a problem I'll have to deal with alone?"
"I guess so" She pulled away smiling and walked away. "Lock the door, please!" she called.
I put my clothes on and walked out, locking the apartment with the key she gave me years ago. I looked in my watch and decided to go back to work, even though I didn't have anything to do there. When I got there, Emmett was in my office.
"Can I help you?" I asked going to my chair, watching him throw a baseball in the air.
"You disappeared" he said, "You don't disappear from work. Maybe once or twice in an emergency. But you don't come back"
"I had something to solve" I lied.
"And that smile?" he asked with narrowed eyes.
"What smile?" I asked forcing the smile to disappear.
"You got laid!" he accused.
I looked around, got up, walked to the door quickly and closed it, locking.
"I don't know…"
"Don't deny it! You just freaked out about someone hearing! You admitted!" he said amusedly.
"Fine, I had sex"
"When?"
"Seriously? Ahn… A couple hours ago"
"Hm. And yesterday too?"
"What?" I asked playing dumb.
"You got late, and came with the same smile you had a few minutes ago"
"Fine, I had sex last night too"
"Finally! How long it's been? A couple months since Tanya?"
"Emmett" I groaned.
"Was the same girl last night and today?"
"Y-Yes"
"Who?" he asked excitedly.
"Not your business" I said smiling.
"Oh, come on, bro! Tell me!"
"It's secret"
"She asked for it to be secret?"
"We agreed on it"
"I won't tell anyone!"
I snorted, knowing he would eventually spill it to Rose and she would tell Alice…
"No"
"Fine, you'll tell me eventually" he said and grinned, "Was she good?"
I nodded, leaning back in my chair with a grin.
"Is she blonde? Tall?"
"I won't say anything about her appearance because you would guess who it is!"
"So, I know her?"
"Not exactly"
"Is she famous?"
"No"
"Who knows her?"
"Not telling"
"You're being mean" he said smiling, "Whatever, you will spill it, as soon as she starts giving you problems"
"Problems?" I asked.
"Yeah, like always… She will start get attached and will get on your nerves, and you'll dump her"
I chuckled and shook my head. If he knew that wasn't a possibility…
"What?" he asked confused.
"Let's just say… That won't happen"
"You really like her?"
"No" I said.
"So… Oh! Is she married?"
"No!"
"Then I don't understand"
"Don't try it" I said smiling.
He smiled and walked out of my office to his. I leaned back in my chair, with a cocky grin. After work I went home, and Bella wasn't home, so I entered my apartment and went to sleep. I exercised too much today. With Bella. Cocky grin again.
