Author's Note: Day Two, Morning Time. You guys are awesome for all the love you're showing for this story. Part two of this chapter will be along within the next day or so.

Bella

I awoke to my body shivering vigorously.

Man, I'm cold. I looked down at my body and realized why – I was basically naked.

Like a flood, images and conversations started to over drench my pounding head. Oh dear God, last night - Bar. Martinis. Alice. Edward.

Edward. The name resounded in my head as I looked around the darkened room.

Edward's apartment.

"You can leave whenever you like." His velvet voice cut through the darkness. I jumped a little, startled by his voice. I squinted through the darkness, my eyes searching for him. Ah, there he is – and looking like a forbidden statue. Leaning back against his door frame, he only had on pajama bottoms, the rest of him clad only in skin.

This I could get use to waking up to. He cleared his throat taking a sip of the mug he held in his hand. Great, he noticed me ogling him. Bastard.

"There's coffee in the kitchen and uh…your clothes are on the floor next to you." I tilted my head in confusion as I began to realize that I still hadn't done anything about my uh, lack of attire.

"Oh….yes…I…" I stumbled out my words as I turned around to apologize for my, er…Alice's behavior last night, but he was gone, his door shut tightly.

Figures. He probably thinks I'm the most hideous thing he's seen. I sighed dejectedly as I heard the front door open.

"Alice!" I exclaimed, wrapping the blanket around my small frame. She smiled too brightly.

No good pixie. Only she would be this god awful cheery at 8am.

"Morning Bella!" She chimed sweetly as she carried in two bags and dumped them onto Edward's countertop. She sighed, looking around the apartment.

"Where's my dear brother?" She asked as I scrambled to get my crumpled clothes on.

"In his room…" I said nonchalantly. Alice raised her eyebrow slightly.

"Oh really?" Alice said as she skipped over to his room and gingerly opened his door.

"Alice!!" He practically screamed. Alice opened the door a little wider and gave me a good view of what she had seen. Edward, my boss - my cocky, gorgeous - asshole boss was standing before me, naked. I think I squeed a little inside.

Nice.

He stood astonished, in all his man glory, clutching a towel to his chest.

Take a mental picture Bella. 'Click'.

"Close the fucking door Alice!" Alice just chuckled, leaving the door open and walking away. Edward murmured a few insults at her, making his naked way to the shower.

"Like the view?" Alice whispered into my ear as she took a seat on Edward's couch. I shook my head, clearing my mind of the mental picture I just happened to store away.

"Alice," I hissed. "Was that really necessary?" She just rolled her eyes.

"Oh please, he was basically begging me to do it, that cocky bastard." She sighed, looking at her nails. I started to feel a bit uncomfortable; after all I was still in last night's attire.

"Um Alice, I think I'm going to go home and change out of last night's clothes." I stated, pulling at my over wrinkled shirt. Alice smiled slyly.

Uh oh.

"Bella, I bought you clothes, see?" She said pointing to a large overnight bag. "And you can just shower here, when Edward's done of course, or… you can join…" I cut her off right there.

"There's no way that's happening Alice, so just don't." Alice pouted.

"It would've been…" She started to protest but I shushed her with my hand, she looked absolutely defeated.

I sighed, looking longingly at the door that hid my darkest desire. I had to admit, Edward was hot – extremely hot. But, did he have to be such a fucking prick? I mean maybe, maybe if he wasn't such a arrogant bastard I would consider even admitting that I could like him. Pssh, even if I did admit that to myself, I'm sure that those feelings wouldn't be returned.

I hate him. I reassured myself.

No Bella, you hate yourself because you want him; you're playing his game and your letting your hormones get in the way. Don't be stupid Bella – focus on the task at hand.

Someone in the far off distance cleared their throat – it was Edward - drenched head to toe from his shower, standing in the hallway half naked. He's trying to kill me, that asshole.

"Um, you can use my shower Bella, it seem like you made need one." I mustered the most annoyed glare I could.

I hate you, you gorgeous man.

I stomped past Edward, grabbing the oversized bag Alice had bought and made my way towards Edward's room. I abruptly shut the door behind me and tossed the bag onto his crumpled bed.

This is going to be a long day.

Edward

I plopped down onto my couch, my towel loosely wrapped around my hips with one of Alice's pastries in hand. Alice kept fucking eyeing me; I was staring to become annoyed.

"For fuck's sake Alice, what is it?" She smiled, sitting down next to me and shrugged nonchalantly.

"Oh I don't know Edward, just wondering how what's-her-face doing." I swallowed the food in my mouth and tried to ignore her ever present stare.

"Why do you give a shit Alice? You hate her anyways." She sighed, leaning against the back of the couch.

"Just because dear brother, I hate that cunt of yours fiancée doesn't mean I'm not interested in your well being." I finished my pastry and reached over for the morning paper that was tossed haphazardly on my floor.

"Thanks." I said holding up the paper – I was purposely ignoring her question.

"Whatever. You busy today?" I shrugged.

"It' Saturday so… no not really."

--Like hell you aren't. Today is the day you admit that you're a pussy and you break down and call her. Tell her you're a complete asshole and that you'd like to make it up to her by giving her the best sex of her life. Beg if you have to. I'm slowly dying here and since your being such a pussy and won't fuck Bella, well… you don't have a choice here buddy. I shifted uncomfortably as I got up from the couch, dusting the crumbs off my bare chest.

"Alice, make sure that my secretary leaves, ASAP?" I didn't need any distractions around as I pussy up and call Jessica – especially Bella.

"It's Bella, you jackass and I'd be glad as hell to get out of your dick headed presence." I turned around to see Bella standing behind us – she was fuming.

I opened my mouth to say something – what exactly, I didn't know, but that didn't happen either as she motioned for me to shut up.

"I don't exactly who you think you are, Mr. Cullen. But I'll tell you exactly what I think of you."

--Oh please you gorgeous woman, let me hear you speak.

"You're an arrogant prick who thinks that all women should fall to their needs and service your glorified cock until you're satisfied."

Did you hear that Edward? She said I was glorious! She loves me, I knew it. Well, I think she hates you though.

"Well, I for one will not fall to become one of your preys. I am a woman Edward, who demands to be treated with respect, not ogled at like some… some, whore."

Oh my dear Bella, you're not a whore! Tell her Edward, tell her now!

I stood there perfectly stunned. No woman has ever, ever talked to me in that manner. Bella wasn't a whore – she was far from it – she was, was… well, that part I wasn't exactly sure.But, I couldn't… I wasn't… I sighed; I didn't know what to say to her.

She stood there, her eyes blazing, her body frozen with anger.

--Say something you prick, you're going ruin everything for you and for me.

"Bella, I didn't…" She held up her hand.

"You know what Edward? Fuck you, you're not worth my time, I'm done Alice, completely done." She said as she grabbed her purse, keys, and slammed the front door behind her. I looked towards Alice in desperation. She just shrugged.

"Now, you have two women who don't want shit to do with you. I don't envy you Edward. Get your shit together, we have a fundraiser tonight, remember?" Alice said, making her way out of my apartment. I banged my fists against my wall, frustrated.

Why am I such a prick?

Maybe because you're a man whore who sleeps with woman for your pleasure only to dump them right after? Just guessing here. I snorted – my cock was acting like my own personal therapist -fucking Christ I need help.

Bella

I sat at the corner coffee shop, my favorite latte in hand and my favorite pixie facing me, her eyes shining with delight.

"Brilliant Bella, I couldn't have done it better myself." Alice laughed softly, taking a sip of her steaming coffee. I giggled out loud.

"You don't think I took it overboard do you?" She shook her head, setting down her cup.

"Oh no, I just loved it. You were absolutely amazing Bella; I should call the Emmy committee." I blushed. Acting had never been one of my major fortes and the performance for Edward had been harder than I thought, but it was all part of Alice's brilliant plan.

I have to admit, I did feel sorry for the prick, he actually looked… hurt. But honestly, it felt empowering to take him down a notch or two. Alice set her empty mug on the table with a soft click.

"Now, today we get ready for tonight's charity ball." I groaned – what she really meant is that I got to play Barbie for the day.

Fantastic.

Alice shook her head disapprovingly.

"Tsk, tsk Bella. We have to make you look absolutely irresistible tonight, remember?" I stood up, grabbing my purse.

"Yeah, yeah, I got it." Today was going to be my living Barbie hell.

Edward

I pounded my head against my wooden desk. This was not one of my better days. My bitch of a fiancée still had her god forsaken phone off, my personal secretary basically called me a douchebag to my face, and my cock was giving me personal advice.

--That's because I'm smart and your not. And, I want to get laid. You're not making it happen, so I'm stepping up. Is that so wrong?

I sighed. What the fuck am I suppose to do? I needed a date for this fucking charity event I was invited to – okay well, threatened to go to by Alice and she said I needed a date. I knew my bitch of a sister wouldn't settle with me going alone.

--I'm at a lost here buddy, sorry. You fucked up.

He's right – I fucked up everything, with Jessica…with Bella for that matter of fact.

--Fuck Jessica! It's Bella I want – I will take no less.

I hesitated. Why Bella? What was so special about her?

--She's smart, gorgeous, and doesn't want you douchebag, remember?

Ah yes. That might have something to do with it. All my life, women have thrown themselves at me; I've never had to lift a finger. But with Bella, she seemed like she didn't want shit to do with me – and that… that hurt my ego.

--And your feelings. You can admit it, I won't tell.

And… my feelings, I suppose.

--There you go. Feel better?

No, I feel like a pansy, actually.

--Well, fine. It looks like your going to this thing solo then. Alice is going to fucking kill you.

I didn't care anymore about Alice…Jessica…or this stupid fucking ball. I had one goal and one goal only tonight…I will get Bella Swan to fuck me. My cock squealed in sheer delight.

--About fucking time. I'm hungry.
