A/N: I want to thank everyone for their awesome reviews for the past few chapters. I hope you guys like this one, I know I loved writing it. It's not as funny in this chapter, but I promise the humor will be back with Chapter 5… sometimes you need a little drama. Am I right? Of course I am.

Anyways, enjoy the chapter. If you are reading my other stories, it is my plan to have a new chapter up for each one of them this weekend. I am currently working on the next American Boy chapter. I just have a BBQ to host today, so expect it tonight.

A/N: I don't own twilight, but I do own some Kings of Leon. If you don't have the song 'Sex on Fire' by them handy… get it. You'll want to listen to it for paragraph five.

Okay, so coming to Pure wasn't that bad of an idea. Once I got there and had a drink into me, I was almost completely relaxed. Alice had forced me to come with her, because I knew she was desperate to spend time with Jasper. I figured it couldn't hurt to sit here and ogle Edward for the evening. Thankfully for me, the bar hid the lower half of his body so I didn't sit here letting my panties dampen as I thought of all the things I wanted to be doing to his cock.

"Bella," I heard Alice call as I finally turned away from the bar, where I knew Edward had seen me watching him.

"Yeah?" I replied as I looked at her intently.

"You'll be fine if I take Jasper onto the dance floor right?" she asked as I simply nodded my head and smiled back at her. I watched as he set his hand on the small of her back and led her towards the crowded dance floor as 'Sex on Fire' by the Kings of Leon came on, and Alice immediately started dry humping Jasper as they 'danced'. I turned away from them and took a peek at the bar where I saw Edward talking to some slutty looking bitch with bleach blond hair. I groaned angrily before I took the final sip of my drink and let the hot liquid pour down my throat. The moment I closed my eyes to savor the flavor, I began to imagine me and Edward on top of the table I was sitting at.

He was standing before me, dark blue dress shirt untucked from his pants, which were now pooled around his ankles as he rammed his cock into me. My back was flush against the table and my dress was pressed up against my neck, everything below my breasts exposed to him. Edwards' hands were firmly massaging my tits as I moaned in pleasure with each thrust of his hardness inside me, the words of the song filling the room, completely erasing all the people around us, as though we didn't exist.

Hot as a fever, rattling bones
I could just taste it, taste it
If it's not forever, if it's just tonight
Oh, it's still the greatest, the greatest, the greatest

You, your sex is on fire
And you, your sex is on fire
Consumed with what's to transpire

"Fuck Bella," I heard him pant as he tightened his grip on my hips, while I tightened my hold on the table, my hands practically digging into the edge. "You are so fucking tight baby." He continued his motions until finally letting the passion consume him, both of us falling over the edge at the same time, breathless.

"Bella?" I heard him call out again, this time completely composed. "Um Bella… are you awake?" he asked again as I opened my eyes to find the sex god standing right in front of me. Thank god I wasn't playing with myself as I shook my head, saddened that the fantasy was over and reality was smacking me in the face again. "Marcus, my boss wanted to meet you. I thought since I was on break that I could come with you?"

"Sure," I replied coolly as I took a moment to compose myself before standing and letting him led me towards the office. I felt his hand on the small of my back and immediately flushed. At least he could touch part of me without me cringing or screaming in terror, I thought to myself as he suddenly stopped us and knocked on the door. When we walked in, Marcus, his boss was sitting behind an old desk covered in papers.

"This is my roommate Bella, we spoke about her earlier," said Edward as I looked up at his face and he smiled tensely at his boss. Marcus was a middle aged guy who just happened to look a lot like Mr. Belding from Saved by the Bell. It was a little creepy that he was running Pure, but I let it slide as I glared at his 1980s thin red leather tie.

"Yeah, have a seat," he said formally as Edward pulled out the chair for me and I sat down, Edward taking the seat beside me.

"Edward here says you are interested in the part time waitress job, right?" I nodded my head involuntarily and let him continue to speak. "The job is two nights a week, which fluctuates, and every Saturday. It's ten bucks an hour plus tips, which for you will probably be pretty high." I couldn't help but notice that Marcus was talking to my tits and I was immediately uncomfortable. I looked over at Edward, who gave me a nervous smile.

"Did Edward mention my last job was at a chain restaurant?" I asked calmly, as I started to scope out the room for a quick exit.

"Yeah, he mentioned it. If you can hold a tray and hand out drinks without spilling them, I'm a happy camper," said Marcus as he finally lifted his eyes to mine. "You're a pretty girl, you seem smart enough. I'm sure you'll do just fine. If you want the job, you can start on Tuesday."

"That's it?" said Edward incredulously as I looked at him again.

"Really? It's mine if I want it?" I asked, still in shock. I had never gotten a job this easily in my entire life. Even the half assed paper route I had when I was ten was more involved than this.

"Yeah, that's it. Edward vouches for you, I trust you. So I guess I'll see you on Tuesday? Wear something cute and tight," he said with a grin as I stood from the chair and let Edward led me from the office, his hand once again on the small of my back.

" I guess we'll be seeing more of each other," he said with an anxious grin as he took me back to our table, where Alice and Jasper were sitting, looking a little out of breath. "Did you guys sneak out to fuck out back?"

"Hell no. I'm more of a gentleman than that," retorted Jasper as he fingers wrapped into Alice's and she giggled like a school girl.

"I fucking hope not," she said with an evil grin as I took my seat back and grabbed Alice's drink, swallowing down whatever was left in the glass. "So, did you get the job? That is what you guys were doing right? I can't exactly see Bella sneaking off to give you a rub and tug in the back room on your break."

"Alice, do you have to be so crass?" I asked angrily as she looked at me slightly apologetic. "Yes, I accepted the job. I start on Tuesday night." Alice immediately started to bounce happily in her seat and I could see the wheels starting in her head, no doubt planning ways I could get Edward to be mine while we worked together. I would probably have to take most of tomorrow to drill it into her that no matter how interested I might be in Edward, I wasn't ready anything like that. Sexual, romantic, whatever.

Edward wished us a good night before finally heading back behind the bar for the rest of the night. Jasper walked us home just after one and ended up sleeping over, not that I was surprised. Alice wasn't the 'have sex on a first date' kind of girl, but I knew she wouldn't turn down the opportunity for any sort of cuddles or conversation with Jasper. Any other guy would have never made it past our parking lot, but Jasper just seemed different. Like Edward. As I lay down on the couch in my pajamas, trying desperately to sleep, I couldn't help but find myself wondering about him, and this was the first time my thoughts weren't sexual.

I wondered how he could be such an enigma. On the first day, he was sarcastic, slightly bitter and sexy as hell. His tattoo, the motorcycle, the guitar… everything was attractive to me. However, now I was seeing other sides of him too; he was kind, thoughtful and sweet, all the things I never thought he would be. I could seriously see myself falling for him if I had to ability to fall for anyone.

I was just about to fall asleep when I heard the front door open, so I did the usual and pretended to be asleep. A few moments later, I felt a blanket being laid gently over top of me and I felt the urge to open my eyes and catch him being so fucking adorable. I felt my breathing slow as his hands ran the length of my hair, touching me softly. 'Good night,' I heard him whisper quietly as he walked from the room silently. I probably wouldn't have even known he had left the room if I didn't hear his bedroom door close behind him. What the fuck was that about? There was no way I was sleeping now that I was even more confused by the inner workings of Edward Cullen.

The next morning, I heard Jasper slip out of Alice's room and out of the apartment. I looked at the clock and saw that it was only seven in the morning, so I pulled the blanket up over my head and tried to get some sleep, which of course had eluded me last night again. Just when I thought I might actually get to sleep, I felt the edge of the couch compress and looked up to see Alice sitting there, her face positively beaming.

"You look tired," she said dejectedly as I gave her an optimistic smile.

"I slept, I think you are just used to seeing me tired," I replied, hoping I had placated her.

"So, Jasper is amazing." I had never seen Alice look so happy in her entire life. After her last breakup with James, I would have thought she would have more reservations about going into another relationship, but that was apparently not the case. "I know what you are thinking. How can I fall for someone so quickly after James?"

"I didn't say anything like that Alice. If you are happy, then I am happy for you," I said genuinely as I hugged her. I knew Alice still blamed herself for everything that happened. I always had a theory that this was why she emptied her savings account to help pay for my therapy, but I never once considered it her fault. No matter how much I tried to convince her, she wouldn't budge. For the first week after the incident, she kept insisting that it was her fault because she had brought him into our lives, but I didn't see it that way. James was going to do what he wanted to anyways, whether he came into our lives through her or through me. It was inevitable.

"Well, Jasper and I are going to dinner on Tuesday night. He has practice today and tomorrow. Should we come visit you at Pure on your first night?" she asked excitedly as I simply nodded my head. "I hope you aren't nervous about the job. You'll do great. I'll help you pick out some appropriately trashy clothes to get you extra tips," she added with a smile as I simply hugged her again.

"Hey, can we talk about something quick?" I asked anxiously as her smile turned into a frown. "It's not bad. At least I don't think it is," I admitted reluctantly. I wanted her opinion on the Edward thing, if anyone had an opinion on this, it would definitely be Alice.

"Ok, spill it,"

"So, slept here last night, obviously," I said as I started to twirl the ends of my hair nervously. "Anyways, I was about to fall asleep when Edward came in. He placed this blanket over me, stroked my hair and wished me a quiet goodnight."

"Holy shit," said Alice as she broke out into a grin that ran from one side of her face to the other. "You know what this means right?"

"No Alice, I don't. Why the hell do you think I am asking you?" I replied angrily, my voice a little too high.

"He totally likes you… like not in an 'I want to screw you on my motorcycle' kind of way, but like an 'I want to curl up next to you and whisper sweet nothings to you' kind of way." Alice spoke as though she was the most confident woman in the world, which although I did my best to portray, I was definitely not this person. "Ask him on a date."

"Are you fucking kidding me? I can't do a date with him," I said forcefully as I threw my hands over my mouth, realizing I had spoken too loudly. "As much as my therapist thinks a date is a good idea, I'm not ready." Alice nodded her head and then offered me a quick hug.

"Well, I hope you take what your therapist says seriously. How would you feel if Edward found someone else?" she asked as she hopped from the couch and began to make a pot of coffee. How would I feel if he found someone else? That was the question of the day wasn't it?

Would I be happy for him? Not likely.

Would I be envious? Definitely envious of both of them for being able to hold a relationship or date.

Would I be jealous? More than words could say. Damn it. Why did I have to wait five days to see my therapist?

The next two days went by quickly than I care to remember. I didn't see Edward until I got home from work on Tuesday. He was waiting for me before heading off to work together, which even though I insisted he didn't need to do, he was adamant about. As we walked quietly towards the club, I felt the need to break the awkward silence.

"So, thanks for working on my truck. It's actually running better than it has been in a long time," I admitted ruefully. "So, I'm sorry for yelling at you."

"It's okay Bella, really. I just wanted to help. Of course, now that I know it's working better than ever, I'll have to think of some way for you to repay me," he said sweetly as he stared straight ahead. I'll repay you anyway you want, I thought to myself as we turned the corner and stepped off of our street.

"Thanks. I mean, you don't really deserve my attitude most of the time, so I'm sorry. Thanks too, for getting me the job and everything," I added with a nervous grin as noticed him stop on the sidewalk and actually look at me, his eyes piercing mine.

"You really don't need to apologize, Bella. Friends are mean and sarcastic to one another all the time. Look at me and Jasper, hell I can hardly stand the guy sometimes, but we're best friends, so don't worry about it, okay?" he asked as I nodded my head in response and he finally started to walk again. I smiled comfortably the rest of the way to the club, even though we never spoke again until later when I was working.

When we got into the club, he handed me over to Chelsea who was charged with showing me the ropes for the evening, and thankfully the club was quiet for most of the evening. As we were getting some change for a customer, she cornered me and seemed a little put off. "So, what's the deal with you and Edward?" she asked curiously.

"He's my roommate and friend, I think," I admitted casually as I recounted the change and we headed back onto the floor.

"For a roommate, he spends a lot of time watching you," she said, sounding a tiny bit jealous.

"Oh well, I'm sure our other roommate just put him up to watching out for me tonight, being the first night on the job and all," I replied as I felt her eyes glaring at me.

"So, you wouldn't mind if he and I went on a date right?" Of course I would fucking mind bitch, I yelled at myself. I turned to her with my sweetest possible expression of pure hatred and simply shook my head, walking back to the table fuming. This is how I would feel if he found someone else.

EPOV

Bella seemed to be doing an excellent job tonight, which made me relieved. I had been worried since Saturday night when she accepted the job that she might not be cut out of waitressing at Pure, but when she wandered out of her bedroom in a pair of tight daisy dukes and a cute tank top that read 'hands off' I knew she would do just fine.

It was halfway through our shift when I noticed her talking to Chelsea, no doubt about waitressing or whatnot, but I couldn't help but notice the change in her demeanor when they came back from the cash register together. Bella looked downright… angry. My heart told me to go over there and yell at Chelsea for whatever the hell had happened, but my brain reminded me that Bella was a big girl and she could handle herself.

When she strolled over to the bar a few minutes later and asked for two Gin & Tonics, she seemed back to normal again. "How's it going?" I asked tentatively as I tried to focus on the drinks but my eyes were busy watching the swell of her breasts against her tank top.

"As well as can be expected for a Tuesday night I suppose," she said casually as he tapped her fingers along the bar impatiently.

"Better tips than the waffle shack?" I said with a laugh as she smiled happily at me.

"Yeah, much better. By the way, Chelsea is really warm for your form," she said with a nervous smile.

"Who the hell says 'warm for your form'? Next you are going to say she is a smitten kitten," I said with a laugh as Bella joined in and we both looked at Chelsea who was flirting unabashedly with a table of guys. "Don't worry about her; I've turned her down more times than I can count. She's not exactly my type," I said eagerly as I watched Bella's smile grow bright. I placed the drinks firmly on her tray and watched as she walked away, her tight ass encased in those tiny shorts that I wished I could peel off with my teeth.

Jasper and Alice showed up just before eleven, both of them smiling contentedly, apparently their date having gone especially well. Bella was their server and I couldn't help but grow hard as Alice tipped her by sliding the money into Bella's bra. This was clearly some sort of joke going on between them and I wished I could hear their exchange from the bar.

"How is it going?" asked Jasper when he finally ambled up to the bar a little while later.

"As well as can be expected for a boring Tuesday night," I said glumly as Jasper began to recant the entire story of his night with Alice. I tried to listen to his words, most of which included 'amazing', 'sexy', 'smart' etc… but I was distracted by the guys who were clearly hitting on Bella a few tables away. When she walked away, I honestly considered going to kick some sense into them but Jasper glared at me as he watched my expression.

"Dude, I'm sure she can handle herself," he reminded me as I poured him another beer. "Are you ever going to man up and ask the broad out?"

"I don't fucking know. Alice tells me she's all broken and shit, but then she gets jealous when Chelsea tells her she wants to date me. I don't fucking know the deal with her man," I admitted ruefully as I tried not to stare at her too much.

"Think about it man. She's a catch for any guy. What would you do if she was suddenly taken by someone else?" Umm… beat the shit out of them and carry her home over my shoulder like a fucking caveman.

"I don't know man. Let me think about it," I replied as Jasper smiled at me supportively and then headed back to his table. He and Alice left just before midnight, arm and arm, while practically sucking each other's faces off. Jasper owed me huge for moving into this place so he could find Alice, I thought to myself as I noticed Bella wandering over towards the bar.

"Marcus told me I could head home early. When is your shift over?"

"Umm… thirty minutes ago," I admitted reluctantly. I had decided to stay until Bella got off of her shift so that I could walk her home, you know, to be safe and shit or to check out her tits and ass as we walked home beside each other.

"Oh, well do you want to get going then?" she asked curiously as I nodded my head. I finished cleaning up my station and gave a quick nod to Marty, the other bartender before we strolled out the door, my hand once again on the small of her back for a second. I pulled it away as I felt the cool night air hit me across the chest.

We walked in silence for a couple of minutes before I decided to do something about it. "Alice and Jasper look pretty happy together," I said casually as she nodded her head in acknowledgement. I was praying she would say something because all I could focus on right now was the fact that the cold night had made her nipples super hard and they were poking through her tank top. Oh how I wished to be sucking on those tits right about now.

"Yeah. Alice seems really happy and she hasn't been that way in a few months. Jasper seems like a decent guy too, so I hope things work out for them," she answered, sounding both reluctant and shy. I couldn't help but feel she was holding back from me, but I didn't want to push, although I found myself wondering if Alice's sadness was tied to Bella's therapy.

"So, how was your first night? Not too bad right?" I said with a grin as I noticed her shivering slightly beside me. Right about now, I wish I had my coat with me, but all I had on was my t-shirt and there was no way she would accept that, so I didn't even both.

"With the exception of being asked out by five guys, one of which grabbed my ass," Which one grabbed her ass? I'll fucking kill him. "The night was decent. I made over fifty bucks in tips, which I am sure I could double if the place was actually busy."

"So, what happened to your vibrator?" I asked trying to sound casual, but actually really, really interested.

"What?" she asked as she stopped dead in her tracks and stared at me as though I just beat the shit out of her puppy.

"Is it wrong of me to ask? I mean, I already know you have it. Don't friends talk about their sex lives? Don't you tell Alice things? I tell Jasper things," I stated firmly, hoping she would think we were friends and would tell me, even though I didn't think she would tell me anything.

"Go fuck yourself Edward. If you really need to know, it's still in its original packaging, unused and unwanted I might add," snapped Bella as she began to walk and I stayed still, a little uncomfortable from the erection growing in my pants. Even when she gets angry at me, I still want her.

"Well, don't get your panties in a knot," I replied as she picked up the pace and I had to practically jog to keep up to her. "Slow down woman."

"I'm tired and I want to go home," she retorted in frustration to me as I finally caught up to her, feeling slightly remorseful for my words. This was how I usually acted around every other girl and it was getting difficult to remember she was slightly fragile, at least according to Alice. Then again, maybe I should just be me. Perhaps that would help her get past whatever the fuck was going on with her.

"Whatever Bella. Be the bitch, I was just trying to be fun and friendly with you, but if that's not what you want, than that's fine with me," I said as I strode past her after she had stopped on the sidewalk. "If you keep stopping you'll never get home."

"Where did nice Edward go? The one I actually liked?" she spit at me angrily as I felt a slight pang of regret.

"He only comes out for special occasions," I said with a laugh as we turned the corner onto our street. As I watched Bella's hair blow in the wind, I felt an overwhelming need to suck on her collarbone while grinding my cock against her ass.

"Define special occasion," she asked curiously as she unlocked the door to our building and I followed her up, my eyes glued to her ass as she climbed the stairs in front of me.

"You quitting your old job was a special occasion, so now I'm back to normal," I lied as we reached the door and she turned around to face me. "You can't actually say you want nice Edward can you? I saw the way you looked me when I mentioned the Ducati on the first day. I saw you staring at me at Pure when you came in that night with Ali and Jaz. Do you really want nice Edward, Bella?" She was now pressed against our locked front door with my hands on either side of her head.

We were in a very precarious situation and I figured this could work one of several ways. She could knee me in the groin and I'd be moving out the next day, or perhaps she would answer the question I way I wanted to and I'd lift her small body up as her legs wrapped around my waist and I'd be buried balls deep inside of her in seconds. I didn't think that was really an option, but I'd like to think it was. My third option was the one that came true, unfortunately.

"I don't want either Edward," said Bella, as I heard her breathing increase. She was lying and I knew it. I leaned one hand down and began to unlock our front door as I bent my head forward and brushed my lips against hers slightly before wrapping my hand around her waist and pulling her to me tightly for a long passionate kiss.

Just as my tongue ached to touch hers, I felt her body tense beneath me and she started to fight me off and scream. I let her go out of complete confusion as she ripped open the front door, ran to her room and slammed her bedroom door behind her. I heard the click of the lock as I started to follow her.

"What the fuck did you do?" shouted Alice as she wandered out of her bedroom in only a sheet. I glanced into her room and saw Jasper lying there, buck naked, waving at me like a complete fucking moron.

"I kissed her," I admitted reluctantly as I felt Alice's hand smack me against the back of my head.

"Didn't I tell you to be patient asshole?" she screamed as she wrapped the bed sheet tighter around her and knocked softly on Bella's door. "Come on sweetie. It's just Alice, let me in Bella." No response.

"It was harmless. We were playfully talking on the way home and I implied she wanted me, and she didn't say no, so I kissed her. Shit," I groaned as I stepped into the living room and threw myself down on the couch, closing my eyes tight and completely livid with myself for being a prick.

I heard the bedroom door open as Alice no doubt stepped in to join her. I couldn't hear her crying anymore though, so I figured that was a good sign. I felt the couch compress a few minutes later as Jasper came to sit beside me.

"I hope to god you're dressed because I can't handle seeing your junk twice in one day," I said with a sigh.

"Yeah, I'm dressed, so relax," said Jasper as I opened my eyes and looked up at him. He looked sympathetic to me, which I was actually surprised by because I had just ruined his plans to get laid. "Don't worry… we were already done. So, what did you do?" he added with a wink as I shuddered at the thought of him banging Alice.

"I kissed her. It was nothing really," I said as I buried my head in my hands. "Now I have no fucking chance with her because I'm always thinking with my fucking dick. She asked for 'nice' Edward and I gave her 'hard up for some pussy' Edward. Christ, I am a fucking idiot."

"Yeah, you are. Especially since Alice warned you about this shit man. Do you just want to fuck Bella or do you want Bella… like how I want Alice?" asked Jasper as I was about to shrug my shoulders. I stopped in mid shrug though, now knowing the real answer.

"I want Bella."

"Then be patient with her man. Jerk off in the shower; don't jump her bones the first time your dick is within an inch of her. Alice told me some of what happened, but not everything. So, just cool your jets if you want her," sighed Jasper as he stood from the couch and wandered back towards Alice's bedroom, closing the door tight behind him.

I stood from the couch and headed into my own bedroom, not even bothering to change from my clothes or to turn on the light. I turned my iPod on random and tossed my ear buds in as I threw my arm over my eyes and tried to drown out the happenings of the last hour. As I listened to Neil Young mumble on about 'Rockin in the Free World', I couldn't help but wonder what the hell had happened to Bella and why Jasper, my friend of the past ten years, wouldn't tell me anything about it.

"Are you still awake?" I heard Alice's voice call as she knocked softly on my door.

"Yeah, I don't think I'll be getting much sleep tonight," I said ruefully as she sat on the edge of my bed. I was relieved to discover that sometime between going into Bella's room and now she had managed to get some clothes on.

"I just wanted to let you know she was okay. She's actually asleep in her own bed, which is a major feat," scoffed Alice with a slight smile. Unfortunately, knowing this didn't exactly make me feel any better. "She likes you… stupid jerk Edward, not just nice Edward… so if you want her, like we heard you tell Jasper, then just be a bit patient."

"You heard us?"

"The walls are paper thin around here man. Don't look too worried, I think it was a good thing she heard you. Just flirt with her, be nice, sarcastic Edward. Ask her on a date or something; don't just try to fuck her against the door." I nodded my head as I let Alice's words sit for a few moments. A date? I haven't gone on an actual date in years. I usually picked up chicks at bars and took them home for a few hours of fun. What the hell do people do on dates anyways? I turned up the iPod and threw my arm back over my head as I began to get nervous.

A date? Fuck, I was screwed.
