No copy infringement intended I'm sorry if I did though, because lately I've been a little spacey and have no idea if I am even writing this at least semi-in tune with what went on in Stephanie Meyer's book, I do highly doubt it though.

CHAPTER 2:
THE MILLION DOLLAR BABY
Present time
"You're kidding me, I can't believe he did that to you" Reira said as she leaned in forward curiosity burning in her bright blue eyes, her game of psychic solitaire forgotten.
"Would you please wait until I'm done, Jesus woman, why can't you wait until I tell you what happened next to interrupt me" Bella grinned from over the rim of her hot cup of coffee enjoying the fact that Reira was so into what had happened to her. Bella hoped that her friend could help her out by finding an uncanny way to solve all of her problems. She had gone through plan after plan in her mind for the last two months and had come up with only one possible solution. It involved leaving a city that she had come to love almost as much as her hometown of Forks.
"So, anyway, a week passed by of both of us showing up at the office an hour earlier than what we usually did…"
Two months ago, one week after the project was started
"No, there is just no way in hell we're putting in a child care room in that building, over my dead body" Edward said as he erased what Bella had quickly sketched out for him to see. Although he had already explained to her that he had left the plans on his desk back at his home office, she had been far too excited about showing him what she had thought was an amazing idea.
"That can be arranged" she said as she snatched the paper away from him, brown eyes practically spitting fire at him, lips thinned in anger and frustration. For the past week they had showed up an hour earlier than what they usually did in an attempt to get everything finished either on time or a little earlier than what had been expected. But at one point in time both had stopped coming in dressed formally. He didn't exactly know whether or not he liked the idea of feeling like a regular person around Bella, than just her boss but it was something he was going to keep doing.
Bella looked at him from the corner of her eye as she listened to all the honking cars outside on a dreary Thursday morning, unable to fully take her gaze off of him.
'Lord the man looks downright scrumptious in those Levis' scowling at the thoughts that were circling within her mind Bella shook her head slightly. The man had an uncanny ability to see what someone was thinking by only taking in the details of someone's expression, and she'd be damned if she accidently showed him what she was thinking. That was the last thing she needed at this moment.
"It's a frigging hospital supply building, not a day care, I'm sure it can't be that hard to find a proper nanny to take care of their brats," Edward said exasperated at the fact that she had kept making it a point about putting it in the plans, even if it meant putting it in a secret location.
"It's just a child care room you ninny, you don't want your employees to find another excuse to get to work late. Or do you?" The truth of the matter was that Edward did find the idea of a child care room appealing enough to put into the plans themselves but couldn't bring himself to stop provoking the little vixen before him that was dressed in a tight white tank top, dark blue jeans and a tan ski jacket with red converse. It was insane the way he thought that she could look sexy in anything she wore, and the fact that he liked her hair loose and that little blush she constantly had when she was around him made him want to kiss her delectable lips until she couldn't remember where she was or with whom.
"Look, I'm sorry, your right" he mumbled looking away from her intense brown gaze "since we want the complete best out of our employees, it's only fair to help them out with things that put far more pressure on them than just leaving them to fend for themselves." Bella grinned proudly and nodded enthusiastically
"Exactly Mr. Cullen, I'm glad you're finally letting common sense rule you instead of that chest beating male ego of yours"
Edward sighed in frustration looking around his neatly kept office and the dull gray clouds outside. "Look we both need a change in scenery, neither of us can work calmly and quickly in a place like this, what do you say we go to my place to work? Sound good to you?" he held his breath looking inquisitively at her. After spending a week around the woman he had gotten to know her a little better but felt that she was still holding some of herself back from him and god damn him he wanted to see what the real Bella was like "or we could just go to your place if that's what you would like?" She stiffened and instantly looked at him with nervous eyes.
"No, no, your place is just fine" she said, grabbing her things and heading toward the door not wanting to even consider the urge of having him over at her home. It was her sanctuary, her one place where she could be Bella, and not the PA Isabella Swan. Edward smirked behind his back. Maybe he just might be able to coax out whatever his little PA was holding out on him.
EDWARDS CONDO
What he called home was much different than what she had in mind. It was a single bedroom condo with polished wood floors. His place would be known as the ultimate bachelor pad to many males scattered throughout the world.
"Have a seat just give me a second to get the plans and get everything set up" he said rubbing his hands together to give them warmth. The temperature had instantly dropped the moment that they had made it out of the office and both of them had shook in their coats like scared Chihuahua's from the freezing weather. Bella took his invitation to sit and glanced around the place. It was clean considering that a twenty-seven year old was its owner. After all there were still a few things left out from last night no doubt, things like a Chinese restaurant bag and two miller lights.
"Let me guess, you had Li's last night with a side of a cold beer?"
"Ah, your incredibly observant Miss Swan, tell me what else do you see" Edward said sarcastically as he walked over to the cocktail table he had in the living room and spread out everything.
"I see a man afraid to move on from his current status as New York's elusive bachelor, and a little color as well" Bella smirked, there was not a single other color in the house aside from black and white and a few scattered plants.
"Ha! More like I couldn't pick a decent color for my place even if I had wanted to. I'm not a monotone kind of man, but just the thought of picking the 'right' color could scared even the bravest of men" Bella couldn't help but laugh at the thought of Edward scowling at all the colors a store associate would show him.
Edward paused his expression completely amazed. He found that he liked hearing Bella's laugh and that it seemed to cause a strange melting in his heart. He coughed and scowled down at the plans in front of him.
"What this place needs is a woman's touch"
"Oh, and your saying your that woman?" Edward teased a crooked grin on his face and a strange light in his eyes. As much as she hated to admit the man had all sorts of sides to him that just made him into a mystery.
Bella blushed lightly and looked away from him keeping all comments to herself as she looked over all of the plans. Clearing her throat at the following silence she said "maybe we should stop fooling around and get started"
So that was exactly what they did until morning turned to night.
"That's it I think I need a break" groaned Edward straightening up and rose to stretch. Time seemed to fly right past them as they worked tirelessly on the plans, agreeing and disagreeing over what they both wanted within that building.
"You said it, got anything to drink?"
"Umm…actually I think I do give me a second" he said as he made his way to the kitchen and brought out two bottles of wine, one red the other white "red or white?"
"Red" Bella said just loud enough for him to hear. When he had made his way back grabbing two wine glasses he saw that she had taken off her ski jacket and had begun to massage her neck.
"Here you serve and I'll massage" handing her both the glasses and whine he began to massage her neck gently but firmly earning a low moan from her. He hissed in a breath as he mentally pictured her with her head thrown back in pleasure, a blush covering her face with her mouth open slightly, sitting atop him.
'God damn it, think of something else man, like…you walking in on your parents having sex when you were a teenager' that thought worked like a charm. Even after all these years he was still traumatized of seeing his parents completely naked having role playing sex. Even to this day he couldn't look at his parents straight in the eye.
"You know, you have magical hands Mr. Cullen"
"Call me Edward" he mumbled as he distracted himself with different things trying to keep himself from doing something he would in the end regret.
"Edward then" she replied with a relaxed tone
Bella shut her eyes as his hands moved to her shoulders expertly massaging away all of the tension of the past week. She groaned in bliss when he hit a tender spot.
"I think you should sit down before I decide to marry you" she said and instantly regretted saying what she did.
"Marry me huh?"
"Hey for those kinds of massages any woman would jump at the chance to tie the knot with you" she said handing him his wine glass and he quickly took a gulp. She only took a sip of hers and felt the sweet taste of wine coat her tongue, she hastily took a much longer sip.
Soon enough both were laughing at childhood memories as they finished a bottle and then a second.
"Ok, tell me something about yourself that no one else knows. Not even your parents." She asked him.
"No way, you first"
"Fine" Bella paused as she tried to think of something to say "ok, when I was 17 I had snuck out of my house in the dead of night while my dad was asleep to go to this 'get-together' that a friend of mine Jacob Black was throwing over at the beach close by where he lived. Anyway, I found out that one of my friends, Mike Newton had a crush on me since the moment I had arrived at Forks High. Well me being under the influence, I went to where he was and kissed him just as a cop car was pulling up. Everyone except him scattered and ran home as fast as possible" she chuckled and shook her head at the memory.
"You know I don't really remember seeing you around Forks at all" he said as he put down his glass and stared at her.
"Well, for the most part I was a complete geek and stuck to places like the library and stuff. Heck the only reason I had the friends I did was because from time to time I would help them out with homework and such" she shrugged and sighed looking at him.
Edward finally gave up on trying to act civilized and leaned forward slowly gazing at her lips and eyes. Rather than pull away like she normally would have she leaned in as well.
"You have the most beautiful eyes" he mumbled against her lips as he pressed his to hers gently, coaxing her to kiss him back.
"They're nothing special" she replied as she kissed him back as she pulled him closer, wrapping her arms around his neck as she leaned back forcing him to lay over her warm, pliant body. Chuckling he let his hands roam over her upper body, slipping them under her tight tank top making it move a little higher with each caress of his callused hands.
"So soft too" he murmured as she lifted herself up slightly, just enough to slip her top off to reveal her white push up bra.
"Oh what a little scented lotion can do" she said biting his lower lip and twining her fingers into his bronze colored hair at the base of his neck. He kissed down her neck nibbling ever now and again in different spots making her moan in pleasure nimbly unfastening her bra.
Pulling away from her Edward quickly took off the Rolling Stones T-shirt he had donned just that morning enjoying how she gazed hungrily at his chest. She rose off the couch slowly as she ran her hands down his chest past his ribs. His breath hitched and he closed his eyes as he waited for her hands to slip past the waistband of his pants that rode low on his hips. But her hands never had that intention, instead she moved her hands back up to his shoulders and kissed him once again.
As quickly as he could he picked her up and ran to his bedroom not waiting a second more to have her. He threw her onto the bed, shoving his pants down and quickly shaking them off. Her eyes widened as she realized just how large he was and he couldn't help but feel a rush of lust as he waited patiently to look her fill. His breaths were ragged pants as he crawled over her body absently murmuring how beautiful she was.
"Please" she whispered as she nuzzled his neck hands cupping him through his boxers. He groaned his hands going to her hips, lips trailing over her collar bone to the valley between her breasts. Her hands' caressing his back, nails scraping gently down to his lower back. He took a peak into his mouth, tongue flicking over her nipple.
"Oh god" she gasped, back arching so she could push her breast farther into his mouth. His teeth scrapping over her flesh as his hands went to unbutton her jeans making quick work of them. Switching over to apply the same attention to her other breast, slipping two fingers into her tight womanhood.
"So warm and tight" he groaned against her breast as he thrust his fingers into her while simultaneously biting down on her nipple and easing the sting of his bite with his tongue.
"Edward" her head thrashed on his pillow; dark brown hair splayed over the white sheets "please…I need you" he moaned low in his throat
"Not yet love..." he said huskily as he led hot kisses down her navel, pulling her pants and panties down throwing them aside as he put a small pillow beneath her lower back forcing her hips higher. He looked lustfully as her beckoning slick womanhood licking his lips.
"Gorgeous" he moaned as he leaned in to give a single sensual lick making her hands go to his hair as she gasped and moaned in surprise. He flicked his tongue over her sensitive clit.
"Oh, God, Edward please" she shuddered in response and once again he slipped in two fingers into her tight sheath, thrusting fast. She whimpered and tugged at his hair as he continued to lick and nibble and suck.
"Edward…I'm coming…" she moaned and stiffened just as she came in his mouth. Slipping his fingers out, he licked them and smirked as a blush spread over her cheeks, her eyes a dark shade of brown as she continued to gaze at him, not wanting to miss a single detail. He kissed his way back up, wrapping her slim legs around his waist and thrust his cock deep inside her as he kissed her; slipping his tongue into her mouth making her taste herself; pausing only for a minute to let her body accommodate his.
"Move" she whispered she moved her hips slightly beckoning him to move, and obeying her wishes he did, slowly at first groaning every time he felt her walls tighten around his throbbing erection.
"Edward…" she gasped as he kissed her jaw, picking up the rhythm "oh, yes…" she tilted her head to the side and he nuzzled her neck muffling his moans.
"Faster...harder" she moaned in his ear, nipping his earlobe. Moaning, he kissed his way to her breast taking it into his mouth suckling as he continued to pound into her pliant body.
"Oh, Yes!" she said, her face lit with ecstasy, as his hand drifted in between their bodies and rubbed his thumb against her clit making her clench around him in reaction.
"Fucking shit, Bella…" he moaned as he closed his eyes, trying to last until she came.
"EDWARD!" she screamed arching her back as he pushed her over the edge, climaxing hard. He thrust once, twice and soon joined her in mind numbing bliss.
Once morning came Edward woke to sound of birds chirping somewhere outside his window. Opening his eyes he realized that he had not closed the blinds last night and he wondered why he wouldn't do that. Almost instantly he remembered the night before and looked down only to find that he was hugging one of his pillows. He groaned in regret as he covered his face with a hand.
"Damn it all to hell!" he turned over noticing a handwritten blue sticky note on his night stand. Reaching for it he began to read the elegant handwriting he had come to know was Bella's.
Dear Edward,
Thanks for last night, it was great, I enjoyed all five times, but this will be the last time this happens.
Regards,
Isabella Swan
He punched his pillow in frustration, how the hell could he have done such a thing. Did he tell her he liked her? He tried to think back through all of the conversations they had last night and was relieved that he hadn't told her anything of importance. He was so screwed. He had just messed up a perfectly good working relationship with his personal assistant.
Sighing he got up and went to shower and dress to leave for work, not bothering to grab any breakfast from the bakery across the street of the building he lived in. On his way to work he tried to think of something to say to her and discarded plan after plan. He had no idea what to do.
He needed Alice…ASAP…
