Chapter Two, Bella's POV

When I woke up, I was in my apartment spread across the bed. I rolled over and yesterday suddenly came back to me. Edward…the talking….where was he? If I had been with Edward last night and he had put me to bed, where was he? I didn't even have his number. I sat up in bed and could here mumbling in the bathroom. I walked up to the door and pressed my ear to it.

"Alice, please! I know that you'll like her! She's like nothing you've ever seen…we'll be over later….yeah, at Bella Italia…ok; well I'll tell her to dress smartly. I know I haven't dated since we left her but things are different now…yes, I'm ok, I'm not sick! I won't tell you anything about her until we see you later…yeah, see you soon; I got to get back to bed…bye!" I quickly and quietly climbed back into bed and pulled the covers up to my armpits. Edward opened the door and there he stood in a pair of dark blue jeans that hung low enough for me to see the 'v' of his hips.

"Hello, my love," he wandered over to me and lay down, on top of the covers, beside me. He brushed his fingers over my cheekbones and I felt a violent blush enter my cheeks. "Hmm, I've missed this." He bent down to kiss my burning cheeks.

"Edward. Just get under the covers. I won't bite!"

"Yes ma'am!" He pulled the covers up and slid under them, pulling me against his chest.

"What are we doing today then, superman?" I let my fingers travel over the planes of his chest and he caught my hand before it ventured below his belly button, curling his fingers through mine.

"Well, I thought that you might want to meet the others, so Alice said that she apparently wants you to dress smart, because she is taking us out for supper."

"Really? Aw, how sweet!"

"Yeah, so we are going to surprise her, because she doesn't know that it's you I'm dating. She thinks that it's some posh bleached haired, snobby stripper girl. You, my darling, are the exact opposite." He tapped a finger to the tip of my nose and the blush returned.

"Can I ask you something?"

"Yes, anything."

"Why did you leave?" He took a deep breath before answering. He looked down and began turning my promise ring around and around on my finger.

"We left because Carlisle and Esme wanted change and Alice and I had been told to transfer."

"The real reason please." He hesitated longer this time and I suddenly wished that I had never asked.

"I thought that I wasn't good for you. You were growing apart from your family because of me and you were a lot less innocent with me. I didn't want you to follow the kind of life that I had." He looked down at me with eyes so sad, that all I could do was kiss him. I leaned up and kissed him heatedly, forcefully on his lips. He pulled me closer to him and our tongues once again ventured every single centimeter of each others mouths. I pulled away to kiss him once, twice and third time, sweetly on his lips.

"That's a crap reason." I murmured against his lips, kissing him again and again and again.

"It really was." His sharp intake of breath made me pull away and stroke my fingers against the back of his neck, caressing his soft spot there.

"What's wrong, honey?" I placed a small kiss against the corner of his lips before he spoke.

"I kinda told Alice that we would be there in half an hour."

"Ok, then. Let's go surprise the family!"

Edward waited patiently outside the bathroom door while I got dressed and ready to be reunited with Alice and her Band of Freaks. I had dressed in a dark blue halter neck knee length dress with some dark blue pumps. I styled my hair so that it fell in soft curls down over my shoulders and my make up was subtle and mysterious. I walked out the bathroom to find Edward in the same dark blue jeans and a fitted v neck white t-shirt, that emphasized how muscular his chest really was. I gasped when I saw him holding his, or my, leather jacket in his left hand.

"I know you wouldn't leave without it." He held it out for me to put my arms through and as I turned so that my back was to him, he placed a small kiss on my right shoulder. Once we were in my green convertible Porsche, all strapped in, he explained the plan to me.

"Right, when we arrive, I am going to park the car back to the door. You are going to be fumbling around in the boot when I opens the door, but DON'T turn around. We don't want to spoil the surprise. Once I am inside with the door closed, you are going to walk up to the door and come in. Call for me once you reach the blue vase, you won't miss it, and I will call from the kitchen. Come into the kitchen then, and surprise them all! Got all that?" He turned to me with his heart breaking crooked smile and all I could do was nod.

We pulled up to the Cullen mansion and sure enough, Edward parked the car bumper facing the front door. I turned to smile at him and he bent down to kiss me.

"Good Luck!" He said, before climbing out and opening the boot for me. I started fumbling around in the boot, like I was told, and he started towards the door. He opened it and I could hear people calling his name. Here goes, I thought to myself.

Edward's POV

I made my way into the kitchen, leaving Bella outside and sure enough, everyone was in there, except Carlisle and Esme. Alice hugged me and scolded me for not helping my girl with her stuff.

"How could you be so rude?!" She slapped my arm and went over to stand by Jasper again.

"Where are Carlisle and Esme?"

"They left us in charge of the house while they are having a second honeymoon in some foreign Indonesian island." Jasper explained. Emmett playfully punched my shoulder and turned back to Rose. I heard the front door click shut and my heart suddenly went into super fast mode.

"Edward?" Bella's sweet voice travelled through the house and the sound of my name in her voice made me shiver with delight. Alice gasped and if Jasper didn't have his arm around her waist, I think she might have fainted.

"In here, my love!" I watched the archway as she walked through it, a timid smile on her face. The whole room gasped as Bella walked up to me and straight into the circle of my arms. I looked at Alice and Rose who were in absolute shock, their hands covering their mouths.

"Bella Swan? Is that you?" Emmett exclaimed, his expression one I had never seen before. Then, as if on cue, Alice screamed out loud and began jumping up and down, Rose now doing the same. She ran up to Bella, who I had carefully removed from my arms to avoid the cat fight, and hugged her with full intensity, tears streaming down her face.

"OH MY GOD!! BELLA!! IT'S ACTUALLY YOU!!" Alice began screaming and jumping again and so did Bella and Alice. I walked over to stand beside the counter with Emmett and Jasper, who were watching their girlfriends pounce on mine.

"Well," Emmett said conversationally. "I guess you got laid last night?!"

We all turned to face him, including the girls, in absolute silence.

"What?! It's properly true!!" He exclaimed which made us all burst out in hysterics. Bella walked up to me and I kissed the top of her head, totally in awe that she fitted in again.

So…thanks for the reviews and sorry for those who I didn't make it clear why Edward left Bella….I tried to explain it here but then I thought that I would make a romance out of it and leave it to you guys to pick your own reason!!! Love to you all….keep reviewing….xxxxxxx
