A/N: Really nice reviews! Thank you so much! I wasn't really asked this, but the timeline will be a little confusing, but they're flashbacks. I'll try to make them go in order a little, but I might have a few chapters where it'll get kind of confusing. I'm really glad you guys like it so far though!

"Jake, please!" I begged, "I need your help!"

"Geez, you're that desperate?" Jacob laughed more. I hit his arm and he flinched, but kept laughing.

"Of course I am!" I sighed, "I know I'm desperate…but I thought maybe staying away from here would keep me from thinking of him, but then now that he's talking to me again and I saw that picture of him I realized I don't want to lose him again."

"You do realize he's not technically yours, right?"

"Not helping, Jake!" I hissed, throwing my head down in my hands. I flopped down on my bed and sighed. "I hate this…I hate that I want him so much."

"Bells, look at me," Jake said, sitting down next to me. I uncovered my eyes and did as he said, "You're beautiful, smart, and funny. He has to take you back."

"Thanks," I smiled, "But I don't think we should set my hopes that high."

"I'm not," Jake objected, "What? Should we make a deal now? If you don't get him before he proposes, we'll marry?" I smiled at the absurdity.

"Please…us? Get married to each other?"

Jake snorted, "Yeah, I guess you're right…that sounds a little cliché considering he already said this to you…"

"Could you imagine it though?" I asked, smirking. Jake snickered this time and nodded.

"You with curlers, yelling at me to get my lazy ass up…yeah I can see it." I laughed and pushed him off the bed. He hit the ground, laughing hysterically.

"This is why you're my best friend." I said, smirking down at him again.

"This is why, if we ever did get married, we wouldn't be sharing a bed." He said, getting up.

"Oh god no…" I choked through more laughter, "You and your perverted mind, hands, and jokes."

"Hey I'm not that bad." Jake said, nudging his shoulder against mine. I rested my head on his shoulder and sighed.

"I guess I could live with it." I said after a moment, teasingly. Jake shook his head.

"I couldn't…my ass would be flat by the first week."

"And that's so tragic," I said sarcastically.

"You think you're so funny, Swan." He said, snapping his fingers in front of my eyes.

"You're damn right I am, Black." I said, "And what's this," I repeated his action, "for?"

"No reason," Jake shrugged. I sighed; Edward always said that to me when he did things he never thought about.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?" I nearly shrieked, pulling Edward away from the edge of the rocks. He pulled me into his arms. I felt his cool lips press against my forehead; he was shaking with laughter.

"Bella, I'm eighteen now." He replied, "I can do what I want."

"What?" I asked, pulling away from him. "Would you jump off a bridge if it made you look cool?"

"Why not?" He teased. I rolled my eyes.

"You're gonna end up killing yourself one day." I sighed, pulling myself away from the rocks this time. "What were you going to do?"

"Jump off the rocks," He replied, not hearing his own stupidity.

"Why?"

"No reason."

Jake had left about thirty minutes ago, and here I was waiting for Edward to call me so I could meet up with him. I was really dreading meeting this so-called perfect eye-candy he was so enthralled with. I mean, if I had to be honest, she was pretty. But the prettiest were always the bitchiest; from what I knew at least.

My phone rang and I quickly answered it, "Hello?"

"Bella?" Edward's voice came over the other line. My heart swelled up. It had been years since I'd heard his voice. The voice of velvet that told you everything you wanted to hear; god I was so damn pathetic…it was royally fucked up in my case. Hearing him say my name was enough to make my heart almost give out.

"Mh hm," I replied. I knew my voice would crack if I spoke now.

"It's good to hear your voice again," He said, "Can we meet you at Charlie's?"

Why did she have to come here? "Uh, I don't think that'd be a good idea…Charlie's really busy today; the house is kind of a mess…don't want to give her the wrong impression." I almost let the bitterness in my voice spill over; I had to be professional.

"Oh," Edward replied, "Uh, let me see if my parents are home. I'll call you back in a minute."

"Okay," I said, listening as the line hung up. I always hated how he never said goodbye. "I bet she gets a goodbye." I muttered to myself. Goodbye, I love you. I was so determined to give myself an aneurism. I would be dead before he even proposed to her. My phone went off again and I picked it up.

"Can you meet us at my place?" He asked. "They're home…do you still remember where it is?" How could I not?

I smirked, "No…I only came over so many times when we were in high school."

I heard him laugh, "See you soon."

"See you soon." I repeated, hanging up again.

"Edward, we're gonna get caught." I protested, holding my flash light up to keep some light around the empty greenhouse. "Why are we even in here?"

"I have something I want to show you," Edward said, holding my hand and leading me towards the back.

"Edward, wait!" I said, halting to a stop. "I have a bad feeling we're going to get caught." I said again. He laughed.

"You're no fun," He smirked, kissing me. "Geez, relax," He said, rubbing between my shoulder blades. I did slightly, however, I was still tense. "We'll be fine."

"I swear to god—," He cut me off with another kiss.

"Just be quiet and follow me, please," He said, his eyes slowly making me forget what I wanted to say. I followed him to the back and gasped when I felt his arms go under my shirt. His fingers were on my bra clasp.

"Edward, now I know we'll get caught."

"Not if we're quiet," He replied, kissing me again. He undid the clasp and brought his hands out to the front of my shirt to remove it. I tried desperately to stop him; but I found myself wanting him more and more as his touch got softer and softer. I was completely bare from the waist and up. I shivered as the cold, autumn air brushed against my skin. His fingers didn't help with the shivering. He pulled his shirt off and leaned me against the wall. I gasped as the ice cold metal wall hit my back. He laughed and pressed his lips to mine again.

Edward kneeled down to undo the button of my jeans, his lips getting lower with each tug of my pants. He kissed between my thighs, causing a moan to erupt from the back of my throat. I felt his lips smirk against the now, bare skin of my leg. The only thing that stood between us now, was my underwear, which he quickly pulled out of the way. I felt his touch leave me as he went to take the rest of his clothes off. Before I could give myself enough time to regain my breath, I felt him kiss higher up between my thighs again. Closer, and closer until finally his tongue hit my most sensitive area. I gasped loudly, throwing my head back against the wall. I ran my fingers through his hair as he sent me to a new high. I'd never felt this kind of pleasure, and I certainly hoped now would not be the last time.

I writhed above him, moaning as I came close to feeling bliss. Before that even happened he stood up and thrust into me. He was still so big; I couldn't hold back the moan. I almost scolded him for leaving me hanging, but that was quickly forgotten. Each thrust made our breaths ragged; he was getting faster, and I almost couldn't take it. I brought his lips to mine as we came together; breaking into deep shudders as we felt what we so desperately wanted. My knees buckled below me, and I pulled him down with me. I could feel him staring at me; I blushed into the darkness, resting my head on his chest as I slowly regained reality. A loud bang from the front caused us to quickly jump up. We dressed quickly and Edward went out to see if anyone was here. "They're gone."

"Someone saw us?" I asked mortified, "I knew it! I knew we'd be seen."

"Relax Bella," Edward said, rubbing my arm, "Whoever it was most likely didn't even know it was us…they left before they could get names." I thought back for a moment, thankful neither of us had said the other's name.

"You better be right."

I drove up to the house, parking on the street. I remembered this place; It didn't look like it had changed. I knocked on the door, my jaw slightly dropping as I watched Edward approach; he looked more attractive in person. Damn this is gonna be hard.
