Chapter 7: Edward POV

I just couldn't do it anymore. I couldn't live knowing someone else could scoop up my precious little sweet. I had to take her as mine. I can admit I was a selfish bastard. I didn't truly deserve her either, with the way I've been treating her but I couldn't help it. She is just too sexy for her own good, I'm surprised no one already tried to snatch her up for themselves.

"Bella, would you do me the honor of being my girlfriend?"

There it is finally out there. I just hope she says yes, I don't know how I could go on watching her work in those skimpy outfits and not be able to kiss her and touch her whenever I want.

"Uhm, yes?"

"Silly little Bella it's a simple yes or no answer."

With this her face broke out into a gorgeous smile. I couldn't stop the smirk spread across my lips. I knew now she would never turn me down. We are both so invested into each other it's dangerous.

"I would love to."

"Good, I wouldn't have it any other way."

I couldn't stop the smile I had now gracing my lips. I also couldn't help but bring her into a warming hug. She was now mine and I couldn't be any happier.

"Why me?"

"Why you what sweet?"

"Well look at yourself! You could have any woman of your choice and they would willingly drop their panties at a smile from you. Why choose someone below you? Someone boring, plain, ugly?"

"Isabella! You will stop talking like that right now! You are not boring but exciting. Not plain but unique. Not ugly but stunning. I wouldn't want anyone else here with me now. You are the only one I want now and forever."

That is just plain nonsense. How could she think about herself in that way. She is one of the most pleasant, wonderful, caring people I have ever met.

"Then there is the fact that I'm a low class whore and I barely know you."

"You. Are. Not. A. Whore. Why would you say such a horrid thing?"

"Because it's true! I just let you fuck my mouth in the shower! And I work for you! In anyone's book that is a whore."

"Well I am not anyone, I am your boyfriend. Well at least I think so. You never made it clear."

"I would love nothing more then to be your girlfriend… but I can't let you do that. I would be bringing you down. Stopping you from meeting your one and only."

"Yes, you can let me do it and you will because you couldn't stop me from meeting someone I already met."

"Oh, I see. Then why are you not with her?"

"How do you know I'm not?"

"What are you trying to say Mr. Cullen?"

"I'm trying to say you could be my one and only. If you would just give us a chance you could see that. I have only know you for a short while but I am already completely enamored with you."

"oh. Well I guess we could try. Under one condition."

"Depending on what you are asking Miss Swan"

I love our little play with names. It's pretty entertaining.

"I get to see some of my girl friends once and awhile."

"Since you asked so nicely and since there will not be any males I have to worry about I guess you could. Every weekend and any days off. But you have to check with me first so I know where you are and that you are okay."

"Oh I'm sure that can be worked out very nicely."

"Now if we are done with this little talk I would like to go to bed with my girlfriend."

At this statement Bella nodded her head and turned her face away hiding her blush.

We rinsed off before we stepped out of the shower and dried off since we had been standing in there talking this whole time. I grabbed a t-shirt and gave it to Bella explaining that she didn't need anything else to go to sleep with tonight but me. I threw on a pair of simple sweats and walked to the bed. Pulling back the covers I let Bella get in bed while I turned off the lights. Snuggling into the sheets I pulled her against my chest by her waist. I could feel her bare back side poking out from under my shirt against my stomach.

Right before we fell into our peaceful slumber I heard her mumble a goodnight.

"Good night my sweet Bella."

I laid a kiss on the top of her head and let sleep over come me.

There is no amount of words I can say that can tell you all how sorry I am for keeping you all waiting. I just simply got dragged into everything going on and it became to be too much so I put the stories on hold. I hope I never have to do that again but it could happen at any moment. I hope you all love the chapter. It's really just a filler chapter since I have no lemons going on but the next should be longer and have a lemon in it but I'm making no promises.

Will love as always ~Nicolee (:
