Hey guys first I want to thank lozzy035, love amber sun, sindose, and taralynn09 for reviewing. I know how hard it is to give a story a chance when it only has one chapter so thank you. I'm hoping the more I write, the more I will get people interested in this story. Anyway I decided to throw a little drama into this chapter, so read it and tell me what you think! Also like I said in the last chapter, ideas are always welcome. Before I forget to tell you I'm going to be posting pictures in my profiles as I go through this story. There is one of Belle in there right now. Remember she is just a puppy, and she will grow up later. Also big thanks to my beta reader WickedLovelyInk'd. She pretty much rocks.

I woke up the next morning to the smell of bacon and pancakes. Confused, I looked around the room trying to figure out where I was exactly. Then it hit me, I was still in Edward's apartment. He must have seen that I was asleep when he walked in and decided not to wake me. What I was even more puzzled about was how I got in his bedroom. I looked down and saw Belle looking up at me, wagging her tail. I stroked the top of her head and pulled myself out of the bed. As I walked into the living room I noticed Edward was in the kitchen making breakfast.
"Good morning," he said hearing me walk in the room, "I hope you slept alright. I came in last night while you were asleep and didn't want to wake you. I hope its okay I moved you into my room. I would have felt horrible leaving you on the couch."
"You should have just left me there . I hate that I stole your bed from you on your first night in this apartment." I responded slightly embarrassed. Now I knew how I got to his room. He carried me! " It was very sweet of you though. Thank you so much for letting me to stay the night. I hope I wasn't too heavy."
"Don't be absurd Bella your not heavy at all! Besides, it was the least I could do after you watched Belle for me." he replied smirking, "Speaking of which, how was she? It seemed like it went well when I walked in last night to her laying on top of you."
I laughed. "Oh we had a great time. Isn't that right Belle?," I said, petting her.
"Well I'm glad. I know she can be quite a handful. I'm sorry she stayed in the room with you last night. She seems to really like you. I couldn't get her to leave," he replied smiling at me while I rubbed Belle's tummy.
"Oh its fine. I love her already. I've always wanted a dog, but I don't have the time for one." I told him, walking into the kitchen.
"Well you can come see her whenever you want. Now I hope your hungry." he said pulling plates out.
"I'm starving, but you didn't have to make me breakfast. I could have grabbed something on the way home." I said while taking the plate he had fixed for me.
"Well I was hungry to, and it gave me an opportunity to break in my new kitchen. Besides there was something I wanted to talk to you about." he replied sitting down at the table across from me.
"Ok what's up?" I asked curiously. We had only known each other for a day. So, I wasn't sure what he could possibly want to talk about.
"Well last night at dinner Alice mentioned that you had to move out of your apartment complex, because they're tearing it down. She said you needed a roommate. Is that correct?" He asked clearly concerned.
"Yes, it is actually." I replied wondering where he was going with this.
"Well it turns out I'm looking for a roommate. I have 3 bedrooms in this apartment. My room, which is the one you just slept in, and then two more down the hall. I used one for my piano and books, but the other can be used for a bedroom. There is also an extra bathroom in that hall, which would be yours. I know we have only known each other for a day, but considering we both would have had to move in with a stranger, this would be a lot better. I can tell you love Belle already, so I know you wouldn't have a problem with the dog. So Bella, would you like to be my roommate?" he asked now staring at me with his smoldering green eyes. I looked away so I could try to think rationally.
I honestly didn't know what to think. If I thought about it logically this was the perfect solution to my problem. The only issue would be the fact that I'm unnaturally attracted to him, and the money. It might be hard to keep it friendly and platonic. I guess if I just hid my feelings it could work out, but the money would be an issue.
"That does sound like a great idea Edward," I replied, "the problem is I don't know if I could afford living in an apartment like this."
"Don't worry about that. I have connections with the owner of the complex, and he gave me an amazing deal on the apartment. From what Alice told me your apartment now is more expensive than this apartment is as a whole, and you would only be paying half of that amount. I would offer to pay all of the rent, but Alice told me you don't like people spending money on you." he said, taking our now finished plates to the kitchen.
"Wow, you did get a good deal. I can't pass up an offer like that, and it would be so helpful for me financially. Are you sure it won't be a problem though?" I asked slightly worried but excited at the same time. I was so worried about living with a creeper that I had no problem accepting his offer. I would get to spend more time with Belle too, and that made me happy.
"Absolutely not! I get along with you already, and from what I hear your quite a bit like me. You also get along with my dog very well, so you're obviously a shoe in!" he replied earnestly, "Now the question is, when do you want to move in? I was thinking that since it's Friday, and I don't start work until Monday then maybe we could move you in over the weekend?"
"That sounds perfect. I'm actually off Monday for a holiday, so I can finish up then if I need to." I said enthusiastically, "I have a lot of packing to do though. I better call Alice and Rose and see if they'll help me."
"I actually already talked to Alice around 5 this morning since she is such an early bird, and her, Rose, Emmett, and Jasper are already there packing your stuff up. She used the spare key to get in because she seemed to know you would agree to move in. She told us to meet her over there when we're ready." He answered. I couldn't believe how much he had handled for me. I looked at my watch and realized it was already 10:00. I instantly felt bad. I didn't want them doing all the packing alone.
"Well, never bet against Alice! We should probably get a move on though. Its already pretty late, and I would hate for them to finish everything without me." I said standing up.
"Just let me grab Belle so I can take her with us. Alice told me you only live about a block down the road, so I figured we could walk. Emmett already got a moving truck to get your stuff over here." He said pulling out Belle's leash.
"That sounds good to me," I replied excitedly. And with that we walked out the door towards my apartment.

I couldn't wipe the smile off my face at the thought of Bella moving in. After seeing her asleep on the couch I knew I had to let her move in. I couldn't risk not getting to see much of her anymore, and if I agreed to let her move in then I was guaranteed to see her everyday. I didn't like the idea of her moving in with a stranger either. I would have to hide my feelings of course, but being around her would be enough for now.
"Its about damn time Bella! What did you think? You and Edward could snuggle at his apartment while we moved all of your stuff by ourselves!" a blonde said scowling at us as we walked into her apartment. This must be Rosalie, I thought to myself. I was about to try to explain for Bella until a smile formed on her face. Obviously she was playing around. "I'm just joking. I will help you as much as you need me to if it means getting you out of this dump."
"Yeah Yeah." Bella responded rolling her eyes. Apparently she was used to this, "And we were not snuggling. Edward was kind enough to let me sleep over there, because he didn't want to wake me up when he got in. That's all."
"Yeah Rosie, he only let her spend the night. Besides if I know Edward, he wouldn't even think of trying anything. What are you 27 and still a virgin?" Emmett said holding a chair over his head.
"Its better than sleeping with every girl you come into contact with lover boy," I replied throwing a pillow at him making him drop the chair he was holding on his foot. Rosalie looked completely offended at what I just said to him. She stomped out of the room all together.
"OWW! Edward you moron, I actually like her! Not cool man, not cool. Rose come back!" Emmett yelled now following her out. Next time he can watch who's secrets he spills. I am not ashamed to be a virgin at my age. I'm saving myself for the girl I want to spend the rest of my life with, but he doesn't haven't to go broadcasting my personal life to anyone who would hear it either.
"Man, what's their deal?" Bella asked now staring at me. I could see she was curious about what Emmett said but didn't say anything about it.
"I guess they found each other while they were out clubbing. Knowing him they probably did more than that." I replied. I looked around and noticed Alice and who I assumed was Jasper walk into the room.
"Edward! I didn't think you guys were ever going to get here!" Alice said grabbing Jasper's hand and pulling him towards me, "Edward this is Jasper. Jasper this is my brother Edward."
"Good to finally meet you man. Alice has told me a lot about you," Jasper said shaking my hand.
"Yes it is, and I can say the same about you," I replied, "Hey, why don't you come help me take Bella's bed apart?"
"Okay," he said knowingly, following me into the room. I of course had plans that did not involve having him help me take the bed apart, and I'm sure he knew that. Jasper has been with my sister a year, and I still haven't had the opportunity to have 'the talk' with him.
"Go easy on him Edward." I heard Alice whisper as I left the room. I just smiled and gave her a quick wink as I continued into the room. Alice knew I would never run off anyone she cared about this much.
"So Jasper," I said pulling the mattress off of the bed frame, "you have been with my sister for quite a while. You must like her a lot?"
"I don't like her, I love her. I have since the day I saw her. I know it is your job as her big brother to make sure I have nothing but good intentions towards her, so I want to assure you that I do. I can't imagine being without her, and I intend on marrying her one day. I know it will be hard for you to trust me right off since you don't know me, but I will do whatever it takes to show that you can trust me." Jasper replied genuinely. It was easy to see how much he cared about my sister just by the look on his face when he talked about her. I didn't have to ask another question to know he was a good guy.
"Well I respect you for telling me that Jasper, and I don't think it will take me too long to trust you after hearing everything Alice has told me about you. But if you hurt her, I hurt you. But I don't expect you will, and you better let me know when you do decide to propose." I told him now smiling.
"Thank you, and I will. Your know your sister better than anyone, and when it comes to surprising her I'm going to need all the help I can get," he replied. I nodded completely understanding. Alice had a knack for knowing things way before anyone else. It would be nearly impossible to surprise her.
At that moment we heard Bella scream loudly from the patio. The apartment she was living in now was on the bottom floor so it led right outside. Jasper and I jumped up to find out what was going on. The sight that met my eyes when we ran outside was shocking. Belle had sunk her teeth into some guys leg.
He had blue eyes and blonde hair and a look of terror on his face. I quickly pulled Belle off of him, trying to keep her from biting him again. I had never seen her act this way with someone before. I saw Bella run up to the guy.
"Oh Mike are you okay? You must have scared her when you started walking up to me yelling!" she asked him. It was obvious she knew the guy from somewhere. What made me mad though, was the fact that he apparently was yelling at her before Belle bit him.
"No I'm not okay, that mutt just bit me!" he yelled at her causing her to back away. Who did this guy think he was?
"Hey back off. Its not her fault, and its not her dog. So if you have a problem, you can take it up with me," I snapped. I was not about to let Bella take the blame for this.
"Well maybe you should keep your mutt under control. I don't know what you see in this moron Bella. I thought you of all people would make better decisions about who you move in with!" he said angrily.
I noticed Emmett and Rose walk out then and Rose ran over to Bella while Emmett and Jasper both came and stood behind me.
"And maybe you should mind your own business and leave this property! Or would you rather I remove you myself?" I snapped back. I could see Mike eyeing Emmett's larger than average frame and back away slowly.
"I'm not scared of you or your stupid dog. I'd watch my back if I were you." he said bitterly, limping away.
"And I wouldn't be dumb enough to do anything if I were you," Emmett shouted cracking his knuckles causing Mike to go faster if possible. I chuckled and looked over at Bella to see if she was alright.
"I'm so sorry Edward! I don't know what happened. One minute I was playing with her, and the next she took off charging at him! I didn't even realize he was yelling at me until just before she pulled away. It was completely unexpected," she told me with tears in her eyes, "I think Belle could tell he was angry with me. He was jumping down my throat about moving in with a guy I didn't know. Apparently he feels I should have asked him to be my roommate. It must have frightened her. I didn't mean to let her get away."
"Bella calm down. This is not your fault. Dogs can sense when something's wrong, and Belle obviously knew he was coming to cause trouble. Who was he anyway?" I asked more concerned over her than the guys leg.
"He's a guy I work with at the library. He has liked me for months and just won't take no for an answer." she replied wiping her eyes, "He must have been at the restaurant last night when Alice told you about me not having a place to stay. He didn't start yelling until he walked by and noticed the moving truck. I guess he's jealous that I'm going to be living with you."
"Don't worry about him Bella. He'll get over it. I'm honestly glad Belle stepped in before he could come over here and cause any major problems. But I don't like the idea of you working with him now." I told her worried.
"Well that won't be an issue!" Alice chirped, smiling at something.
"What do you mean 'won't be an issue'?" Bella asked, "I can't just up and quit without another job lined up! And you know how hard it is to find a job in photography."
"Well you search just got much easier!" she said now practically jumping in place. Once again, I knew she had been waiting to tell someone her news, "Rose and I were going to tell you later, but now seems like a good time. Our photographer for the magazine just submitted his 1 week notice that he would be moving out of state. We were put in charge of finding a photographer to replace him. We told our boss all about you, and he thinks you would be perfect for the job. And since you have a degree in photography you will be making double what you are at the library. He said you can start the Monday after he leaves."
"Wow Alice I don't know what to say! I would love to work with you guys, and finally put my photography degree to good use. And the extra money will be a huge help! You can tell him I accept!" she said nearly as giddy as Alice now. I didn't even realize she had a photography degree. I guess I still had a lot to learn about her, "I'll go in Tuesday and let Mrs. Roberts know. I'm sure she'll agree that taking this job offer is for the best."
"Your going to be working with us Bella! I'm so excited! We are going to take over that company in no time!" Rosalie jumped in.
From the look on each of their faces, I didn't think Rosalie was wrong about that. Rosalie then walked over to Emmett and wrapped her arms around him. It was obvious they had made up before the Mike incident.
After all that happened today, I couldn't have been happier for Bella. I could tell from the look on her face when Alice told her the news that photography was her passion. I was now interested to see what else she was passionate about.
BPOV
It took us all of Friday and all of Saturday to move everything out of my apartment and into the new one. Luckily, my weekends at the library started on Fridays so I was able to be off to help them move.
After the fiasco with Belle everything else went as smoothly as possible, besides the bickering from Rose and Emmett every few hours. It seems to me that Rosalie had finally met her match, and she wasn't used to it at all.
I couldn't believe my luck at everything that had happened this week. Finding a great roommate in an amazing apartment was only the beginning I realized. Getting the photography job for the magazine Alice and Rose worked at had to be one of the best things that has happened in a while.
My love of photography makes me confident that I'm going to love this job, and working with my two best friends will only make it better. Finally, I have met two guys that are quickly becoming my best friends along with Alice, Rose, and Jasper. And I can't forget Belle who I already love with all of my heart. After trying to protect me from Mike it just strengthened the bond I have formed with her.
"Earth to Bella! Are you ready to go shopping or not?" Rose said loudly breaking me out of my thoughts.
Since we had finally gotten everything moved, the guys were going stay at our apartment and watch football, while we go shopping for some new furniture and paint for my room. The apartment I had been living in was furnished, so I didn't have any furniture to bring with me. Since I had next week off before I started my new job, I would be able to paint my room before all of the furniture arrived and be here when it did.
"Yeah, I'm ready." I replied grabbing my purse.
"You guys be safe!" Edward said from the living room, "Emmett's going to grill some food tonight. It should be ready when you guys get back."
"Okay Edward! We'll be back later." Alice responded running over to give Jasper a kiss, "By Jazzy, I love you!"
I watched Emmett stick his finger down his throat and pretend to gag, and then caught Edward giving him a look. I couldn't help but to start giggling at his reaction. I was so used to Jasper and Alice acting like this that I hardly noticed, but Emmett was new to the mushy romance between the two.
"Bye guys!" Rose and I said walking out the door.
We decided to take Rose's mustang since it had more trunk space than Alice's Porsche. I went through my clothes while we were moving, and realized that I was really in need of some new ones. Alice forced me to throw most of it out saying something about a fresh start involved new clothes.
"Lets go get furniture first." Rose said starting the car.
"Good idea, it will take longer to find the clothes anyway." Alice agreed.
With that we were off to the first store. It didn't take long to find everything I wanted. I got a wooden bedroom set including a queen size bed frame, a dresser with a mirror attached, and two bedside tables thanks to Rose. They also threw in these very pretty blue and brown lamps, which is where I got my inspiration for the colors of my room from. We went and bought a memory foam mattress for the bed and Alice helped me find a comforter to match the lamps. It was mostly brown with some blue accents. Since the bed had a lot of brown in it I decided to paint my room blue to match the blue on the bed spread. With everything I needed either ordered or in tow we headed back to the car.
"I really like the colors you decided to do in your room Bella, they match your personality so well." Rosalie said driving to the mall.
"I agree. And I think you should hang some of your photography in your room to." Alice said smiling. It's a rare occurrence when she gets me out to do some shopping, so I can tell she's excited.
"Yeah that's a good idea," I agreed now feeling the sense of dread that usually came when we pulled into the mall parking lot. Since I knew Alice would force me to get anything she thought looked good on me, I decided to just let go and let her do what she wanted.
"So Rose," I said following them into the first store, "what's the deal with you and Emmett? I don't think I've ever seen you hang around with a guy this long."
"Well I usually don't. I mean honestly I've never liked a guy the way I like him. He isn't a pushover like most of the guys I come across, but he's still caring and gentle. I finally feel like I have found a guy that can protect me and care about me the way he is suppose to. He doesn't run away from my attitude like most guys do either, he fights back which is something I have never experienced before. I can't even think of another guy with him around." she said, pushing me into a dressing room with an arm full of clothes they had already found for me. I tried on each item without protest while we continued to talk about the guys.
"That's how I felt about Jasper. He is so calm that he balances out my perkiness perfectly. You guys are going to fall in love. I can tell." Alice said checking out each outfit I showed her. Right now we were looking at a lot of suits for when I started work.
"It's too early to know that Alice!" Rose said rolling her eyes and bringing me some casual outfits to try on as well.
"I don't know Rose… you wouldn't catch me betting against Alice." I said grabbing them and trying them on. I found about 5 suits that I could mix and match that should last me a while, "I'm really glad you have found someone you care about though."
"Yeah so am I. Anyway what about you and Edward…" she asked me with a smirk.
"What do you mean. He's my roommate, that's it." I responded, blushing.
"Oh please Bella! We've both seen the way you guys act around each other! Its like your magnets, when you move he does. Not to mention, when everything happened with Mike, the way he stuck up for you after having know you a day must mean he cares about you. Trust me Bella, he never acted that way with Lauren, and they were together for 8 months! I have never seen him this way before." Alice said giving me a final pile of clothes to try on. I saw Rose shaking her head in agreement with Alice.
"Guys I'm serious. Don't push this. I don't want him making me move out because you two won't leave him alone about it. Edward probably sees me as a sister at most, considering I am your best friend Alice. Besides, I don't believe in love at first sight. It just never works out for me. I'm a plain Jane and not a lot of guys like that. I'm perfectly fine being single though." I told them paying for the clothes we picked out. Now that I had a better paying job, I didn't mind spending a little of my savings.
"Bella don't be ridiculous! Guys ask me about you all the time! And look at what happened with Mike!" Rose responded as if this was the most obvious thing in the world, "That was because he likes you. Duh."
"Ugh don't remind me. Look can we just drop it. It's no big deal. And Mike definitely does not count!" I replied ready to go home, "I'm starving! We have everything, lets go."
"We'll drop this for now, but I'm not through with you missy!" Alice replied helping me with some of the bags. I rolled my eyes and followed them out.
When we finally got home we walked inside to the smell of mouthwatering steak. My stomach growled in response. Edward rushed over to help me take my bags to my room. I saw Rose and Alice smirk at me like little know it alls. I rolled my eyes and followed him to my room with the rest of my bags.
"Wow looks like you found a lot. When is the furniture coming in?," Edward asked while sitting my bags down on the floor.
"They are suppose to be here sometime Tuesday, so I'll sleep on the couch tonight and tomorrow night." I responded.
"Don't be ridiculous. You can sleep in my bed. I'll sleep on the couch until then." Edward replied walking out of the room.
"No, I am not going to let you do that again! The couch will be fine!" I argued following him to the kitchen.
"Yes you are! This is not up for discussion." He answered walking into the kitchen to pull out the plates for dinner. Then he dropped the subject all together. I would have to argue with him about it later.
I walked over to the bar and saw a delicious array of foods. There was steak - that looked like it had been cooked to perfection, mash potatoes, bread, green beans, and a big bowl of banana pudding for dessert. Banana pudding was my all time favorite dessert.
"Wow guys who cooked all of this?" I asked filling my plate up. The more my stomach growled the more I wanted.
"Well Emmett grilled the bread and steak, Edward made the banana pudding, and I cooked the mashed potatoes and green beans." Jasper replied smiling at the amount I had already stacked on my plate, "Man Bella you going to feed all of us on that plate?"
"Shut up Jasper!" I replied sticking my tongue out at him. I've always seen Jasper as a brother. I knew he was perfect for Alice, and that made it easy to get along with him. He was one of those guys who were easy to talk to about everything, and always made you feel betterg in a bad situation.
"Wow guys! I didn't know you could cook!" Rose said now fixing her plate with about the same amount of food I had. Emmett looked at her as if he had just seen the light. He must not be used to a girl with an appetite.
"Hey, we are good for something beside watching football you know. We just prefer the women to do mundane tasks like cooking!" Emmett said laughing. Rose popped him on the back of the head for that comment, causing us all to join in with his laughter.
"After that comment you can do the dishes!" She responded walking into the living room.
"As long as you're there helping me, I'm all for it!" he replied following her. This made her smile.
After tasting the meal they prepared I realized it was even better than it looked. It was obvious that Edward was a good cook and that was definitely one thing I could appreciate when it came to being his roommate. I practically inhaled my food but sat there savoring every bite of the delicious banana pudding Edward had made.
After supper, Alice decided to put a on movie since it was so early, and everyone snuggled up with their partners, besides Edward and I. It wasn't really awkward though, because Belle jumped between us on the couch. I couldn't stop glancing at Edward through the movie, and I could tell he was doing the same, which confused me. When the movie was over we finished cleaning up and everyone left. Edward and Emmett started work tomorrow at the hospital, Alice and Rose had to go back to work apparently having an important deadline for the magazine, and Jasper was heading back to the law firm that he work for.
"Hey, do you want to take Belle on a walk with me? She hasn't been out in a while" Edward asked me while grabbing a leash. I agreed quickly and followed him out.
"So what was New Hampshire like?" I asked him curiously, "I would imagine it was pretty different than the busy city life here."
"It was. I enjoyed living there. It was a good environment to be in, but I couldn't pass up the chance to work with my dad. That's been my dream for as long as I can remember. It was nice getting away from my ex to. She turned in a bit of a stalker." he responded holding the door to the building open for me.
"Thanks." I said walking out into the fresh air, "I can imagine how annoying that would be. Mike is starting to turn into a stalker too. I'm more than ready to get away from the library and him."
"Yeah I'm not a fan of Mike." he replied annoyed.
"Neither am I. So, why did you and your last girlfriend break up? Alice told me you guys dated for a while…" I asked curiously. I couldn't imagine anyone giving him up.
"I broke up with her. She was so possessive and it was getting ridiculous. She was so jealous, thinking I was cheating on her, and she was a too self absorbed. I like a girl who is down to earth and easy to get along with. She just wasn't like that." he replied sitting on a bench at the small dog park across from the apartments. Now that the gate was closed he let Belle off to take care of her business.
"Yeah its hard to get along with people like that. Especially if they don't trust you." I replied knowingly. I had ended many friendships because of trust issues.
" Yeah… so tell me about your family." he asked now looking at me as I spoke.
"Well my dad lives in a small town in Washington called Forks. He's the chief police. He married my stepmother Sue, and now I have a stepbrother and a stepsister, Seth and Leah. I really miss them. I lived with them the summer before I moved to LA, and I visit them as often as I can. Leah decided to stay in Forks for college because she didn't want to leave her boyfriend Jacob behind. Seth is still in high school." I replied.
Just thinking about them made me miss them more. I was skeptical at first when my dad remarried, but after living with them I realized how happy she made my dad. He was miserable and lonely before that, and now that he has a family to take care of, he couldn't be happier. Knowing that made me happy. I knew I'd always be his little girl, so I never had a problem getting along with Seth and Leah.
"And what about your mom?" he asked taking in every word I was saying.
"Well she lives in Phoenix, Arizona. For a long time it was just me and her, but she met a baseball player named Phil, and she married him the year before I moved. He is good for her and knowing he's there to take care of her made it a lot easier to leave. I miss her and my dad, but when I go to Forks to visit, my mom and Phil usually come to. She stayed close to my dad after they divorced for my sake, so it makes it easier when we can all meet up in one place. It gives me a chance to visit with them longer." I replied thinking of my mom. She had always been a little scatterbrained, but Phil changed a lot about her. It made me happy knowing how well off my parents were now that they had remarried.
"Well it sounds like your family life worked out well. Seems to me that it would be easier to be away knowing that they were taken care of." he answer earnestly.
"Yeah it was. So what about you?" I asked watching Belle run around.
"Well I believe you've met my parents, Carlisle and Esme." he said grabbing Belle and putting her back on the leash," They lived in Alaska before moving here, but when my dad was offered a position in a hospital so close to Alice he couldn't refuse. It was really hard living on the other side of the country from them. That's why I jumped so quickly on the chance to move near them. My parents are so caring and supportive, and its hard not to have them around. I have also never seen anyone as in love as they are. That's why it makes me so happy to see Alice with Jasper, because I know they feel the same kind of love my parents do. I just hope I can follow in there footsteps one day."
"Oh I'm sure you will." I replied smiling as we walked back to the apartment," Any girl would be lucky to be with you. It will be no time before you find one that you love as much as Alice loves Jasper."
I thought I heard him whisper "I think I already have" , but I couldn't be sure. I dropped the subject after that, and we continued into the room. Edward, of course, won the fight over whether I would sleep in his room or on the couch.
"I have to leave at 6:00 tomorrow morning, so I wont see you before I leave. Have a great day tomorrow, and be safe. I should be home around 4:00." he told me once I had changed and was getting ready for bed. Belle was already in the bed waiting for me, and I knew this was the start of a regular thing.
"Okay. I will probably start painting tomorrow. Have a good day at work!" I told him, pulling back the covers on the bed.
"I will. Goodnight Bella," he said nearly killing me with the look in his eyes.
"Goodnight Edward." I replied woozily.
This was going to be harder than I thought. Just hearing about the love he had for his family made me like him even more. With that thought in mind I fell asleep thinking of nothing but his green eyes.
So now we have some drama with Mike, and there will be more to come. Don't forget to review! I will update as soon as possible.
