A/N - The guts of this story have been edited and are ready to go. There needs to be some final tweaks as we go along. So I shouldn't have any problems posting weekly now. There is one thing you have to understand with this story so that the plot works with this story it will be set more than 10 years ago only because I need cell phones to be less prominent in the world. Yes the rich have them. Yes Edward will but Bella will not. Sorry that is how the story is designed and will remain. Please enjoy. Always feel free to leave a review at the bottom. I'll probably see you next Wednesday with the update.

end of Chapter 1

"Hey, Bella," Masen said as he leaned in and read my name tag. "What do you need from me to get a car?"

I said, "I'm sorry, but I can't help you because we are sold out of cars. However, I have an idea."

Chapter 2

I continued, "I know who you are and I'm going to your concert tonight. Unfortunately, we are really sol out of cars. So, I can't believe, I'm saying this, why don't I lend you my car? Then when you're done with it, you can return it to me here at the airport, by then the limousine will be here to take you to your concert."

"No," Masen said. "Why don't you get your car back at the concert since you are going? I'll send the limousine for you when you get off. It can bring you out to the concert where you can sit front row center."

"But what about my friends? We already had tickets to the show."

"Bring them along, how many tickets do you need?"

"There would be three of us in all," I replied.

"Fine, what time are you off 4 or 5?" I nodded at four; I couldn't believe I was doing this and Masen was standing right in front of me. He was gorgeous as well as the rest of his band mates. Now I was going to be sitting front row center at his concert.

"Great," he said as he turned to who appeared to be his manager and told him to make the arrangements. I dug out my car keys from my purse and we went outside so that I could show them where my car was. "Bella, this is very kind of you to allow me to borrow your car. I promise I'll take care of it for you."

As I opened the door for them, I said, "Sorry guys, you'll have to deal with the two door."

"It's okay, Bella. I look forward to seeing you tonight. Thank you, again." I watched them pile into my little 2 door Cavalier. Suddenly the car was gone as I waved goodbye.

I went back inside and Terri and Ken were in shock over what happened. As a matter of fact, so was I. I said out loud, "Did what I think happened, just happen?"

"Yes," Terri said.

Ken said, " I hope you get your car back." We all just started laughing.

An hour later, my phone rang, "Hello."

"Hello, Bella. This is Emmett; I'm Edward's business manager. Thanks again for what you did. I have the limousine company on the line and they need some information from you."

"Okay." I gave them the information that they requested and they told me they'd be arriving around 4:30 to pick us up after I told them exactly where at the airport to pick us up. Sam and Rose met me at the executive terminal at 4:15. I had already changed since my afternoon was slow. I showed Rose a few things about my reservations for the next two days because she was paying me back for working for her last week. At about 4:30, the limo showed up and we all climbed aboard. Sam said as we climbed aboard that he thought my outfit was cool. I had on a sleeveless black dress with an asymmetrical hem line though there were shorts built under the skirt part. I had a lightweight white jacket in case it cooled off. The driver opened the partition between us and said to help ourselves to anything we wanted. The phone inside the limousine rang and I picked it up after the limo driver signaled it was okay. I answered the phone and said, "Hello."

I heard Masen ask, "Is everything okay? Were there any problems with the driver or them picking you up?"

"No problems, everything is great. Was my car okay?"

"It's fine; although the limousine would've been much roomier. I'll see you in what?"

"In about half an hour. And thanks again for the tickets for tonight."

"Great and you're welcome. When you get here, you can watch our sound check. Then we can all get something for dinner. By the way though I love a limousines, your Cavalier is great for staying incognito. Nobody expected to have me show up in something besides a limousine."

I laughed and said, "No problem, see you soon!" and I hung up the phone.

When we arrived at the outdoor venue, the limousine was whisked through security and to the backstage entrance where two security guards took us inside and gave us badges to wear. They brought us down a long hallway and made a couple of turns where we ran into Masen and his band coming out of some room.

Masen stopped and asked, "Ready to watch the sound check?"

I replied, "Sure, let me just quickly introduce you to my friends. Masen, this is Sam and Rose."

Masen reached out to shake their hands and said, "Hello, Sam and Rose. Please call me Edward or Masen whichever you're comfortable with."

Then he introduced us to the band Jane, Didi, Heidi, Alec, Marcus, Demetri and Felix. Finally, Edward took my hand and said "Leah, our opening act, just finished her sound check so we're good to go up on the stage for our turn."

Security led us back through the corridors and about halfway back the same way we came in, we turned down a different hallway that led us to the stage. We froze upon getting onstage as we stood looking at the empty auditorium. Edward turned, looking at our stunned faces and said, "Your seats will be about ten off of center in the front row. I hope that's okay."

I thought to myself wow, he actually came through on his promise; I wasn't holding my breath on his delivery of front row seats. Rose turned to me grinning as Edward walked away to do his sound check and said "You know how he has that one song, and he always brings someone up from the audience for it? I bet he picks you for it."

I shook my head disbelieving her and she looked back with a smirk on her face as I blushed slightly. After about three songs and adjustments galore, the stage manager and Emmett came out, yelled that everything sounded great and that dinner was ready. Security again led us to a small banquet hall where a large number of crew members were already eating as all of us walked in. Edward said "Damn it, I thought we were fast enough for once, these guys are such pigs." We walked over to a buffet table laden with Mexican food and filled up our plates.

Sam, Rose and I found a table in the corner to sit down at and Sam had left to grab us some drinks when Emmett, Edward's manager came up and asked, "How things were going?"

Rose's jaw dropped at the sight of Emmett and she went silent. I said, "Everything is great." Emmett gave us the tickets and Rose managed a weak thank you as Sam came back with our drinks. Emmett introduced himself to Sam and then quietly said something to Rose who smiled and walked away with him talking carrying her plate. Rose was in heaven with that kind of attention. Sam and I continued eating until Sam was tapped on the shoulder by Leah from the opening act and walked off with her to talk and hang out. Edward seemed to realize I'd been left alone and came over and asked me if I'd like to come with him to talk in private as he finished getting ready for his show. "Sure," and Edward grabbed my drink and I followed him through the corridors again.

As we walked back to his dressing room, I asked trying to not sound terribly nervous, "So I've read that some celebrities request strange things for their dressing rooms like bowls of all yellow m & m's or a hot tub, do you do that?"

He smiled an amazing crooked grin at me and asked, "Do you always believe what you read?"

"Sometimes, but you didn't answer the question."

"Well, to be honest, I do. I request to have a beautiful young woman come with me to my dressing room after dinner." My eyes widened and the rest of my face must've been in utter shock with some fear mixed in. He stepped closer to me; but I took two steps backwards thinking about where I could go to. Edward said, "I'm sorry, Bella, I didn't mean to frighten you; but I couldn't resist. No, I actually have a ritual in getting ready for my concert that's what I ask for at each venue to allow me to follow."

"Does this ritual involve inviting pretty girls to your dressing room?"

"No, this is a small change for me; I figured it was okay to invite you since you saved my public appearance record with lending me a car. I normally come back to my dressing room alone, shower, and do a few crossword puzzles while listening to a relaxation CD of ocean sounds. I have a small snack of fruit and yogurt, shave, primp and dress. Then I meet up with the band; and we go through the show schedule and sit down and watch a comedy sketch for about half an hour. Then we double check the equipment and listen to the last song of the opening act, and we come out and tell the audience after the 20 minute turn over for the stage, we'll be out. Now, so I can start my routine, I'm going to take my shower. You're welcome to join me," he said with a wink and a smile, "or you can wait about ten minutes for me to come out and I'll rejoin you."

I blushed saying, "I'd wait."

He came back out about eight minutes later in a pair of sweat shorts and a t-shirt. We sat down started doing some crossword puzzles. A while later, there was a knock on the door and someone brought in some fresh strawberries and frozen yogurt. We moved next to each other and started sharing the dessert. I turned to Edward and asked, "By the way, when will I be getting my car and keys back tonight?"

"Well, I've been waiting for you to ask me."

"Why, did something happen to my car?"

"I, uh, may have backed into a fire hydrant on the side of the road when I was attempting to parallel park."

"Now I see why you take a limousine. How bad is my car? You should have told me you were a bad driver."

"I cracked part of the plastic bumper. I'm really not that bad; I just hate parallel parking. It's already at a dealership being fixed and it'll be ready to drive again in a couple of days. I'm sorry. I arranged for a car for you tonight to use until yours is fixed."

"You know, normally I'd be upset with someone who did this; but I've been practically floating all day and not even this could upset me."

Edward apologized again as he took the last strawberry, dipped it into the yogurt and fed it to me. The shock of his gesture made me nearly choke on the strawberry. He smiled and leaned over to briefly kiss me on the lips. He apologized again and fed me the rest of the strawberry, saying he had to get ready for the show. After he'd been gone for five minutes, there was a knock on the door and one of the security guards came in and said, "I need to get Sam, Rose and you to your seats. Then I'll be back to escort backstage again after the show."

Sam and Rose protested that they needed to go to work early tomorrow and the guard offered to get them back to the limousine and take me backstage. We agreed that would work.

Edward just then came out of his bathroom and said, "It was a pleasure to meet you two. It's nice to meet people who don't want a piece of you like most people do."

Sam said, "Well speaking of that, how about a picture and an autograph?"

Edward smiled saying, "Sure" and smiled as we posed and took pictures for ten minutes. We then headed off to the stage and got to our seats. Rose turned to me and said, "Spill, I can see that the cat's got your tongue, what happened after we left you?"

"Don't you mean deserted me?" I said teasing before filling them in on all the details except mentioning that Edward kissed me.

"Well, what have you been doing this whole time?"

They filled me in on all the details of their nights. As the opening act happened, Sam proceeded to fill me in on who all the members of the band are, the all-girl band. They played for about 45 minutes. Then, just as Edward had said he and the band walked out onstage and thanked us for coming out. When they came back out twenty minutes later, they sang their hearts out. The crowd cheered for an encore and they came on with his number one love song ballad. This is the song Edward has been known for pulling a lady up from the audience to sing the song to. As soon as the music started all the ladies in the audience went nuts. When he headed for the other side of the stage first, I leaned over to Rose and said, "Oh well, I guess you were wrong."
