A/N: I decided to just upload this chapter anyways since I haven't updated in a pretty long time haha. I don't own these character names! Miss Meyer does.

Overall, the night was great. No more mishaps occurred, thank god, and pretty much all the customers left smiling after 11 when we needed to close. Leah left first, waving goodbye to all of us, as she walked to her car, getting whistled at by some Jersey Shore wannabe on the way. I didn't even try to hide my laughter as she flipped him off.

Jasper and Alice stepped outside, both of them laughing. "Ed, Alice and I are gonna be out for a while, can you handle Sparta on your own?" I nodded, locking the doors to Saddle.

"Where are you guys going?" Bella asked Alice, a look of concern in her eyes.

Alice looked up at Jasper, grinning. "Ihop." They turned and started walking down the street, leaving only Bella and I.

"So," I started, breaking the silence before it got too awkward. "Want a ride home?"

She smiled, shaking her head. "I live pretty close, I'll be good." Oh no, you're not walking home alone.

"Okay cool, I'll walk you." I said, starting in the same direction she left last night. She caught up to me, shaking her head again.

"You really don't have to," She said, blushing.

"Believe me, I want to," I said, maybe too seriously. I laughed nervously. "That shirt's, ah, gonna get you attention from a lotta drunk guys."

She looked down, almost as if she had forgotten she was wearing it. I sure as hell didn't.

She sighed. "Right. Well, you have a point."

I nodded. "You should totally lead the way though, cause I don't where the hell I'm going." I said, running my hand through my hair.

She laughed. "Sorry, forgot." She shook her head. "I'm such a ditz around you," she mumbled quietly to herself. I ignored it,
choosing not the make her feel embarassed.

"Wanna play a game?" I blurted out suddenly. Fuck, no filter.

She looked at me questioningly, raising an eyebrow. "Depends on what game."

"The Question Game."

She shrugged, as we stopped at a crosswalk. "Sure, why not."

"Okay, what's your favorite animal?" I asked, looking down at her. She was a good six inches shorter than me I think.

She glared at me. "Don't coddle me, Edward" she accused, pointing a finger at me. A small shock went through me, hearing my name come from her lips.

I raised my hands up in defense. "I'm not! It's a serious question."

She narrowed her eyes at me. "Dog." Well look at that. "What about you?"

"Same. Sparta is actually mine and Jasper's dog." Shit, I needed to check on him soon or else he's gonna piss all over the carpet...again.

"Really?" She asked me, grinning.

"Yeah, you should come see him one day." FILTER. WHAT THE HELL.

Her eyes lit up like a little kid's on Christmas day. Cute. "What kind of dog is he...or she?" She asked excitedly

"Husky. He's pretty big though," We started walking again once the light had turned green. "Your turn."

"What's your favorite color?" She asked.

I raised my eyebrows at her. "Now who's coddling?" I laughed. She smiled, smacking me on my arm. "Red." I said, once I stopped laughing. "You?"

"Green," She said immediately, he cheeks turning pink yet again. Huh, that's odd. I was expecting pink, or purple or something.

"I don't really like those colors." She said smiling. Shit, did I say that outloud?

"Favorite TV show?" I asked.

"Top Gear," she said with no hesitation. "UK version not US." she added. Holy crap, I'm in love.

"Really?" I asked, maybe a bit too surprised for my own good.

"Yeah," She said. "They're fucking hilarious...even if they do hate our country's cars."

"So true," I laughed. "I think I died a little when they were bashing my car."

"What car do you drive?"

"Chevy Camaro SS," I stated. I love my baby, but sadly my UK friends didn't. That was a bad day for me.

"Are you serious?" She asked exictedly. I nodded. "Please tell me it's black."

"It's purple." Her face morphed into one of disgust and I busted out laughing, shaking my head at her. "I'm kidding, it's black."

She had this dreamy look on her face. "I saw it outside the bar. I hate to sound like a creep, but it's so sexy." HA! Take that UK, at least she likes my car. "But it does have a lot of blind spots." This is true...

I shrugged. "Yeah and it's pretty much hard plastic on the inside, but then again, what car isn't?"

"So true, plus we're in the middle of Chicago, you're not gonna need to be going 100 something miles anytime soon."

"Exactly! Finally someone understands me!" I sighed. "Jasper and Emmett gave me crap for weeks because I bought that car."

We stopped in front of an apartment building, which I was guessing was hers.

"This is me," She said, looking at the big building, a small frown on her face.

"I think you can take it from here." I said, running my hand through my hair. I smiled. "It was great talking with you Bella," I started walking back in the direction of Saddle. "I'll see you tomorrow, Illini!"

She stuck her tongue out at me, and went inside the building. I sighed, dreading going back to my apartment. Who knows what that dog peed on.

BPOV

"Bella," He murmured into my ear, taking my earlobe between his teeth. I felt myself shudder, letting my head fall back slightly at his touch. We were at the bar, behind the counter. The lights were dimmed and no one was around except for me and him. He placed his hands on my hips and slid them down lower til they were finally cupping my ass.

"Mmm," I hummed in appreciation. I heard him chuckle lowly into my ear, before he moved his head back up from my ear, to face me, the small scruff along his jawline scratching my cheek slightly. His green eyes searched mine for a moment as he slowly inclined his face down to mine an-

What the fuck? I thought to myself. Why the fuck am I bouncing?

I groaned, and opened one eye to the sight of a small Alice bouncing up and down on the foot of my bed.

She stopped bouncing and put her hand on her hips. "Bout time you woke up," she said, moving into a sitting position next to my feet.

I buried my face back into my pillow. "Unlike some people, I actually need sleep to be able to function during the day."

She snorted. "That sure was some sleep you were having." She then proceeded to moan, and hum, mocking me.

I laughed and lifted my head from my pillow. "Hey, it's been a while since I've gotten any, give me a break."

She patted my head and stood up from my bed, sticking her hand out to me. "I know, that's why we're going to get you some."

I took her hand and stood up from my bed, following her out of my bedroom. "You're not gonna try and get me a hooker right?"

She handed me a mug of coffee, god bless her, and looked at me like I was dumb. "We're going shopping, dumbass." She sat up on the counter and sipped from her own mug. "We gotta buy you some clothes that'll make guys give you a double take, but not in a whore-ish way. You know. 'Get the bitches excited!" She said, quoting a JennaMarbles video.

I grinned, shaking my head. "Sounds tempting, but there's really only one guy I wanna get 'excited'."

"Ah, but that's the beauty of the male species Bells," She put her mug down besides her. "When he sees other guys drooling over you, he'll get defensive; he'll make his claim a lot faster!"

I raised an eyebrow at her. "Species? Claim? Are we talking about my love life, or some special on Animal Planet?"

"Well with the way you were moaning, I'm sure you guys could get it on like animals," She said, wiggling her eyebrows at me suggestively, as there was a knock at the door.

I rolled my eyes at her as I made my way to the door. "You're just like Emmett," I said, as I looked throught the peep hole on our door. Speaking of the devil...

I opened the door, and immediately I was suffocating.

"Hey Bells!" Emmett greeted me, crushing me in one of his arms, a small pink box in his other hand.

"Em!" I heard Alice shriek from behind me. "She's almost as small as I am, be careful!"

Emmett released me and handed me the pink box before proceeding the crush his sister. Someone cleared their throat and I looked up.

FUCKKKKK, I cursed internally, feeling my cheeks get hot. Emmett wasn't alone: Jasper and Edward came along too.

"Hey Bella," Jasper greeted me cheerfully, before stepping inside, leaving Edward out in the hallway alone.

"Hey," he said, grinning at me.

I looked down at myself. I was wearing short shorts and a white camisol- no bra. Shit. "Hey," I said shyly.

"Can I, ah..?" he asked, gesturing with his head towards the inside of the apartment.

"Oh! Yeah, sorry, come on in." He stepped inside, shutting the door behind him.

"Hang on," I said, putting the pink box down onto the counter and practically ran towards my room. I really hope he didn't see anything, I thought to myself, as I peeled off my cami and grabbed the closest bra I could find and put it on before putting the cami back on. I went into the bathroom and scrubbed my teeth furiously before heading back into the living room.
I'm gonna kill Alice for not giving me a warning.

When I got back to the living room, pratically everyone had a mug of coffee in front of them, and a cupcake. Everyone was sitting on the floor, around our coffee table; Jasper and Alice were practically cuddling, Emmett was laughing into his phone, and Edward was figeting with his fingers. Well...here goes nothing.

I plopped myself down next to Edward, and sighed. "So, what'd I miss?" I asked him, taking a sip from my now, cold coffee.

His face lit up immediately as he turned to face me. "Not much; Alice and Jasper are in their own little world, and Emmett's on the phone with Rose, explaining to her why he didn't wake her up this morning." He reached for the pink box and opened it for me. "Want one?" he asked, offering me a cupcake. "They're from Dinkle's."

My ears perked up at 'Dinkle's' and I immediately went to grab one, but I retracted my hand before I could get one. Edward looked at me questioningly; no one usually turned down Dinkle's.

I gave him a half-smile. "Diet," I said.

He shook the box a little. "Aw, come on. It's okay to be naughty every once in a while."

I raised my eyebrows at him and i felt my cheeks get warm, remembering my dream from earlier. His eyes got wide as if he just realized what he had said. Now he started turning a little pink. I picked a cupcake up from the box and held it up to him.

"Cheers," I stated. He smiled and shook his head, lifting up what was left of his cupcake and bumping it against mine.

"Cheers."
