Hello again! Importantish A/N at the bottom x

BPOV

After a nice weekend with Edward's parents, who would be coming to stay with us in a couple of weeks, Edward and I headed home late Sunday night. We arrived home at around eleven and decided to order in some Chinese food. Half an hour later, we were both sat on the sofa eating whilst watching Pineapple Express. It was one of his favourite films and he seemed stressed lately, so watching it was the least I could do.

Edward laughed throughout the whole film, so I was surprised he actually managed to eat anything, let alone finish all his food. But once the film had finished and we'd both finished eating, he pulled my feet onto his lap and turned to face me.

"I might be home late tomorrow, I have a meeting with my client at four and then me and Tanya will need to start on the paperwork otherwise it will pile up," he said, smiling at me apologetically. Great, he's spending his evening with his whorey assistant. Not that I know she's a whore, but she probably is.

"Okay, do you still want dinner?"

"Uh, I'll text you in the morning, I'll have a better idea of what's happening." I just nodded.

"Are you doing anything tomorrow?" he asked, running his fingers up and down the bottom of my leg.

"Writing and I think I'm seeing Alice for lunch," I said, grabbing the hand that was steadily making it's way up my leg. I glared at him playfully and smiled, he just winked and stood up, stretching.

"You coming? It's like half one…" I stood up and made my way upstairs, going straight into the bathroom. We brushed our teeth together and got changed opposite each other - Edward getting into bed in his boxers and me in the t-shirt he'd been wearing today. I cuddled up to his side and kissed him on the jaw, he turned to me and grasped the side of my neck gently, pulling me in for a soft kiss.

"I love you," he whispered, kissing me once again.

"Love you too," I responded, placing my head on his chest, lying there until I fell asleep.

When I woke the next day, Edward had already left for work and I had about two hours until I was due to meet Alice for lunch, so I jumped out of bed, ate some fruit as a light breakfast and put some laundry on. I then took a shower and got ready for the day, deciding I'd stop by Edward's office on the way to Alice to leave him some lunch. I hoped I'd catch a glimpse of Tanya, so I dressed up, wearing a short, summery dress and some nude heels I knew Edward loved. I was meeting Alice at one, and seeing it was half eleven, I left the house, heading for Edward's office… And honestly I was nervous with what I'd find

I pulled up to his building just before twelve and grabbed the food I'd made Edward, tucking it in my bag, before making my way up in the lift to Edward's floor. I made my way down the hall to his office and I could hear him talking on the other side of the door. I knocked and Edward replied with, "Just a sec!"

I heard some movement and a few moments later, Edward opened the door, grinning down at me.

"Hey baby, what are you doing here?" he said, hugging me and kissing me on the forehead.

"I brought you some lunch," I said, reaching into my bag and pulling out his food, handing it to him.

"You wanna come in for a bit?" he said, opening the door wider. I nodded and stepped round him, surprised to see the room empty.

"I thought I heard you talking?" I asked, sitting at a chair in front of his desk.

"I was on the phone, although. Tanya is due down here in about five meetings with notes from the meeting she attended on my behalf…" I just smiled at him whilst he started eating some of the food I gave him. A few minutes later, the door opened and in entered a beautiful, blonde woman. Please don't be Tanya, please don't be Tanya, please don't be Tanya.

"Hi, I'm Tanya," she grinned, holding out her hand. I stood up but wasn't as tall as her and I already felt stupid next to her, but I smiled in response and shook her stupid fucking hand.

"Bella, nice to meet you."

"Oh! Your Edward's wife," she said, smiling warmly at Edward.

"She is indeed," Edward replied, taking the files out of Tanya's hands and spreading them out along his desk.

"I better be off if I'm going to meet Alice in time. It was great meeting you Tanya," I said through clenched teeth.

"And you, Bella. I hope to see you soon." Edward walked over and kissed me, whispering an 'I love you' in my ear before waving me off from his door. As I left the building, and drove towards the restaurant, I couldn't shake the feeling of dread in my bones and I was tempted to turn the car around and demand Edward never spoke to her again. Something about her was just… wrong.

Half an hour later I was sat opposite Alice in a small, French restaurant.

"So you two are getting more serious?" I asked, referring to her five-month relationship to Jasper, Edward's best friend.

"I think so, I mean we stay over at each other's places at least four times a week and I can just feel that things between us are changing – but in a good way."

"Well, I'm happy for you. I miss being it the beginning of a relationship, when you don't know what's gonna happen and you're still discovering each other… Not that I don't enjoy being married because I do," I said, smiling.

"I understand, so how is the Cullen household?" she said, taking a sip of her drink.

"We're alright. Can I ask you something?" I said, knowing I should talk to someone about Tanya. Alice squinted at me and nodded, giving me the go ahead.

"Edward has this new assistant and Edward is really keen on her and I was holding out hope that she'd look like a troll or something, but I dropped him some lunch before I came here and she's really beautiful. Like that kind of pretty where you cant decided if you want to pour acid over her face or stare until you cant hold your eyes open any longer but I'm starting to feel really insecure and although I trust Edward completely, I don't trust her in the slightest," I said, glad I'd finally spoken to someone about it.

"Well –"

"She looks like a home wrecking whore," I added and Alice laughed,

"As I was going to say, the only thing I can suggest is talking to Edward about it, once it's out in the open you'll feel a lot better and you know that I could spend hours talking about this, but the only person who can really reassure you is Edward," she said, giving me a pointed look.

"I know, you're right… I'll talk to him tonight," I grumbled. Alice smiled smugly at me and went back to eating.

"So, shall we start on the admin?" Tanya said, sitting opposite me at my desk. The meeting with my new client had gone well and we were just getting a head start so we didn't get a backlog of work to do later.

"Yeah, we should," I said, then glancing at the clock, "I should try and be home for six – seven at the latest, so about an hour on this." Tanya nodded and started on a pile of paper whilst I tackled a separate pile.

After twenty minutes or so, Tanya let out a sigh and leant back in her chair, kicking off her heels. "This is reaalllly boring," She said, smiling at me.

"I know, this is the part I always hate but the quicker we get it done, the sooner we don't have to look at these papers again."

"Yeah, yeah, whatever. Do you wanna take a cigarette break, maybe?" She said, eyes pleading with me.

"How did you know I smoked?"

"I saw a pack in your suit jacket the other day… Well?" Tanya grinned at me. I didn't reply, instead I just stood up and walked to the door, opening it. Tanya got the hint and put her shoes on fast, standing up and running towards me. The lift came fast and soon we were stood outside, puffing on a cigarette each.

'It's nice smoking with someone, I'm normally on my own," I said, watching her out the corner of my eye.

"Does Bella not smoke?"

"Definitely not, she hates that I smoke."

"I happen to think men who smoke are all the more attractive," she said winking at me, followed by her sticking her tongue out.

I laughed. "Real mature Tanya. I actually don't like that I smoke and if me and Bella ever have kids, I'll give it up immediately," I said stubbing out the cigarette.

"You wanna have kids? You two just striked me as a couple who'd be happy with a couple dogs and not want to deal with early mornings," She said as we made our way back in to the building.

"Bella's great with children though, she has a real maternal instinct. I want a child with her, but if I'm being completely honest, I can't imagine myself as a dad… A good one anyway," I said, surprised I had just confessed that to her.

"So you aren't sure about having a baby? If you aren't you should tell her because once she gets pregnant, there's no turning back." We walked back to the office and returned to our previous seats.

"I do want a baby, I know that. I just don't know what kind of a father I'd be," I said, shrugging.

"I think you'll make a great dad."

"Really?" I said, one eyebrow raised.

"I promise."

We continued working and when I looked up, the clock read 6:45. I called it a night, said goodnight to Tanya, and rushed home to my waiting wife.

Important:

I'm on holiday from tomorrow until the 25th July (me and my boyfriend felt the need to get away and recover by ourselves), so my next chapter will be in just over a week.

Thanks for all your support x
