AN/ Sorry about the delayed update, last week my beta had to kick ass on her finals and this week I got sick. Only I could get the flu in June.

My updates should go back to normal.

I hope you all enjoy this chapter.

I do not own Twilight but I do own copies of them all


Chapter 7 I Could Get Used To This

Because I know you're too good to be true
I must have done something good to meet you
'Cause you wrote my name across your hand
When I freak you understand
There is not a thing you miss
And I could get used to this

I'm feeling it comin' over me
With you it all comes naturally
Lost the reflex to resist
And I could get used to this

I Could Get Used To This-The Veronicas


Edward

I woke up and looked around, coming to find that I was in Bella's fluffy bed, alone. The thought made me feel empty inside. I sat up and smelled the best smell in the world, bacon.

My feet hit the ground and the temperature of the hardwood floor was startling cold; it woke me up. I stretched and went searching for Bella. I found her in the kitchen in front of the stove.

"Good morning," I said with a yawn.

"Oh, you're awake," she smiled.

"I was looking forward to waking up to you," I admitted while leaning against the door frame.

"I'm sorry, I was hoping you would stay asleep long enough for me to finish breakfast," she looked a little let down.

"My nose is trained to the scent of bacon, you're making me breakfast?" I said as I walked over and stood next to her.

"It's the least I could do for you staying with me, thank you for humoring a crazy person," she said blushing away.

"How could I say no, I got to lay with you all night," I said kissing her cheek. "What else are you making besides bacon?"

"Waffles or plaid pancakes," she giggled.

"So plaid pancakes and bibbidi-bobbidi bacon," I laughed. Yeah I can reference too.

"Good one, Jim Gaffigan is hilarious. That deserves a high five," she said putting her hand up.

I watched her as she prepared breakfast. She did everything so easily. The way she flipped the bacon with easy and pried the waffle out of a simple flick of her wrist. Cooking came naturally to her, I was lucky if I didn't burn oatmeal, yes it is possible to burn oatmeal.

"Why did you stay?" she asked staring at me.

"You seemed like you didn't want to be alone," I replied honestly.

"You're right, but don't you think it was improper for me to ask you to say?" she asked softly.

"Nope, I'm glad you did," I revealed.

"Why?" she asked shocked.

"It made me feel good that you were comfortable enough around me to fall asleep on me and you trust me enough to keep you safe when you're scared."

"I never said I was scared," she stated.

"You know you were afraid of that dinosaur, you don't need to lie," I joked.

"I knew I was going to regret telling you that story," she laughed.

"Yup, I will remember it forever and bring it up whatever chance I have," I smiled.

She poured us both glassed of O.J. and got out the plates.

"It's waffle time, it's waffle time, won't you have some waffles of mine," she sang as she brought our plates over.

"Is that your waffle making song?" I laughed.

"Not mine, it's J.D.'s from Scrubs," she smiled.

"I don't think I will ever get used to all of your references," I joked.

"With time," she grinned.

"This is good, so what aren't you good at?" I asked.

"Um...relationships I guess, never had a successful one," she admitted.

"Maybe you haven't found that right guy that is worthy of your awesomeness," I suggested with a smile.

"Oh I haven't hmm…maybe I should keep looking. There are a few guys I know that seem promising," she smiled.

"Really, who are these candidates?" I asked with a raised eyebrow.

"There is this hot dog vender that flirts with me like mad, he even gives me extra relish," she said animatedly.

"Oh is that all?," I asked, knowing she was joking but still a little let down that she didn't mention me.

"Yup, no one else comes to mind," she said innocently.

She was definitely going to be a handful.

We talked for the next twenty minutes as we finished eating, that was the best breakfast ever, I may be exaggerating a bit. And it may have something to do with who I was having it with. I almost lost it when a drop of syrup fell on her chin and she used her tongue to lick it off. Being around her was going to be hard, pun intended.

I was helping her clean up when she asked "Why didn't you try anything with me last night?" she said trying to be nonchalant.

"It took every ounce of willpower to keep my hands to myself, having you that close drove me crazy," I said moving closer to her.

"Oh really? And what do I have to do to break that willpower down?" she said turning towards me.

"Waking up to you in my arms would have been hard to handle," I said looking into her eyes.

"Note to self," she said pretending to write it down.

"Bella, are you that eager to bet in my pants?" I can't believe I just said that. It was hard to hold back everything when I talked to her.

"Wouldn't you like to know?" she said turning away and wiping off the counter.

"God Bella, you have no idea what you do to me," I said running my fingers through my hair.

She turned around and looked down at my crotch.

"I have an idea," she said smirking. "Think about baseball and flower arrangements."

"Flower arrangements?" I questioned with a laugh.

"I just figured no guy would get aroused by flower arrangements," she said with a shrug.

"You have a point," I said adjusting myself.

"Obviously it doesn't work on you," she said smiling.

"That's because you're in the room," I said not being able to take my eyes off of her.

"Are we really talking about this?" she joked.

"Is there something else you would like to talk about?" I questioned.

"Yeah, it's something that I want to tell you but don't take it the wrong way. I just opened a business and I'm not gonna have a lot of extra time, I just wanted you to be aware,"

"I am, I know both of our time is limited but I feel a spark when I hold your hand and I can make time for this feeling," I said causing her to smile.

I grabbed her hand and brought it to my lips and kissed it softly. Her cheeks turned a warm shade of pink

"You make me feel like a shy little girl," she said as she looked away.

I cupped her face and turned it back towards me.

"Don't look away," I asked quietly.

"You say the sweetest things and I don't know how to react to them," she said looking a little worried.

I moved my hand away

"I like that you do it, don't stop," she said holding my hand in place. "I'm just unsure of the way it makes me feel," she shyly admitted.

She looked so sweet; she said she had feelings for me. It should have been clear to me when she asked me to stay. But it was so much better hearing her say it out loud even if she wasn't sure about what she was feeling.

"Let me know when you know," I said looking into her eyes.

She quickly leaned down and kissed me, a soft sweet kiss.

"You are just too much," she said rolling her eyes playfully.

I grabbed her hand as she went to walk away. I pulled her back and stared up at her. My hands rested on her hips. I pulled at them luring her down to straddle my lap. I started to kiss her and she wove her hands in my hair. Her kisses got more demanding and I wrapped my arms around her waist. I slowly kissed along her jaw until I got to her neck.

"Too much to handle?" I whispered against her neck.

"That tickles," she giggled.

I blew softly along her neck and collar bone. Her cheeks turned pink and she arched her back in a frenzy to get away. Thankfully I had a hold of her or she would have fallen back. I held her close as she leaned against my hands. I started to kiss where I left off at her collarbone. The sound of her breathing heavy drove me crazy.

Afraid at any moment she would tell me to stop but she kept her hands in my hair. I looked up at her, her eyes were closed and she was biting her bottom lip. I moved down her chest towards her breasts that peeked out of her tank top. I moved one of my hands from her back and caressed her breast. She let out a soft moan and her breath picked up causing her to move her hips into me.

"God Bella," I moaned into her chest.

"Hello, are you awake?" I heard a voice ask and the front door closed shut.

I instantly froze and I felt Bella's body tense up. Before we had time to move Alice was standing in the door way.

"Um... Bella," Alice said grinning.

Bella turned pale and looked at me as if to say 'help' I had no idea what to say. It was then that Bella looked down at my hand that was still cupping her left breast. Trying to be sly she used her elbow to move my hand. She looked at me nervously not able to talk.

"Good morning Alice," I said with a smile. "Bella made waffles and bacon for breakfast, would you like some there's extra."

"N...no thank you," she stuttered as she turned and walked away.

"I should go talk to her," Bella whispered.

"What's wrong?" I asked concerned.

"I don't do things like what just happened and Alice is protective," Bella said as she stood up to get off my lap.

"Go talk to her then," I nodded in the direction Alice had left.

"Don't leave," she requested as she leaned down and kissed me on the cheek and walked out of the room.

Of course Alice was protective and for good reason, I messed up. Bella understood why I did it but I still hurt her. No matter how many times I said I was sorry it didn't change the fact that I made her cry.

I got up and went into Bella's room and put my shoes on. I wasn't going to leave right now but I had to go soon. I looked around the room at the things I didn't see the night before. On her nightstand was a picture of Bella and her parents, she loved her parents just as much as I loved mine. In her chair by the window I saw a stuffed Red from Fraggle Rock, it made me think about how some childlike qualities showed in her actions. Her computer monitor was on; the screen saver was a picture of Bella, Alice and Jacob when they were younger. What Bella was like when she was young? Did she get in trouble? I suppose she was nothing like Emmett, Jasper and I when we were in school. I could see her more like a teacher's helper type of girl with pigtails and glasses. I wonder if I would have liked her if we went to school together?

"That was a little awkward," Bella said pulling me out of my thoughts.

"That bad?" I asked.

"It was fine, she's just concerned you're going to hurt me or make me do something I don't want to," she said a little agitated.

"You have to know that I would never do anything like that," I said feeling the blow to my heart at the thought of ever hurting her. How anyone could purposely hurt this angel standing in front of me, is beyond me.

"I know, she just doesn't see me as that kind of girl," she said sitting down in her computer chair.

"What kind of girl?" I asked not really caring what type of girl she was, just that I liked her...period.

"She's never... oh God I can't believe I'm going to say this. Well I have never displayed myself with a guy, so she's never seen me with anyone like that," she said as she spun the chair to face the opposite direction.

I just watched her; she seemed to have more to say. She spun back around.

"She knows I've had boyfriends but she just doesn't see me as a sexual person. I'm not a slut but I'm not a virgin. Did I just tell you I'm not a virgin?" she rambled and then put her hand over her face.

I could see her peek between her fingers at me.

"Don't be embarrassed, if it makes you feel better I'm not one either," I joked.

"Oh God are we really having this conversation?" she said as she leaned back into the chair.

I walked over and knelt in front of her and rested my hands on her knees. "You should never be embarrassed of who you are," I said smiling gently at her.

"I just don't know how to show who I am without turning ten different shade of pink," she looked down at me smiling sadly.

"So what when you blush, it's who you are. Don't let it bother you," I said picking up her hand.

"It's just not that easy," she said softly.

"Do you always have to make things so hard on yourself?" I asked smiling at her.

"Yeah, it's kind of my thing," she joked.

"You are going to keep me on the ball aren't you?" I laughed.

"But I'm worth it," she leaned down to me "I promise," she whispered.

"You don't have to tell me," I grinned as I bent my head up and kissed her by surprise.

She slowly pulled away with a smile on her face, "What are you doing today?"

"I'm going to be at the bar until close, what about you?" I asked.

"I'm working all day," she said playing with her hair.

"That sucks," I said sounding a little let down.

"Would you want to stop by after work?" she asked shyly.

"Do you want me to?" I asked with a raised eyebrow.

"I wouldn't have asked if I didn't want you to," she said boldly but still turning pink.

"Are you sure Alice won't mind?" I asked hesitantly.

"I doubt she'll be here," Bella said with a smile.

"Then I'll be here," I replied eagerly.

She smiled and shook her head at me.

"I should really hop in the shower," she said as she stood up.

"Should you really hop?" I laughed.

"Ha ha wise guy," she said as she pushed me away.

"I need to get going," I said as I gathered my keys and phone from Bella's nightstand.

"But I don't want you to go," she said as she stepped in front of me.

I wrapped my arms around her and pulled Bella up into me making her stand on her toes. I slowly brushed my lips against hers and she slowly exhaled.

"I will be back here in no time," I said optimistically.

"I suppose," she said making a little pout.

I ran my finger along her duck lips making them turn into a smile.

"That's better," I smiled.

I held her in my arms for a few minutes longer and she held onto me. That made it almost impossible to leave her.

As I walked down her stairs I had the sudden hollow feeling inside. It felt odd to be alone when I had just spent almost twenty-four hours with her. My body was going through withdraws from the drug that was Bella. How was I going to get through this day knowing she wanted me to stay, or better yet come over.

Maybe I could leave early? I said grinning to myself.

I could still smell her all around me. It was taking everything I had not to turn around. I had my hand on the door at the bottom of her stairs.

I was about to turn around and run up the stairs so I could have just a few more minutes with her when my phone rang.

"Damn it," I said out loud. I looked at my phone and immediately pressed answer.

"Good morning baby, having fun?" I asked as I opened the door to exit.


AN/ Bum Bum Bum... Don't worry, it will get you nowhere(hehe)

Not a lot of people seem to know who Jim Gaffigan is, he's a stand up comedian from Indiana. I think he's hilarious kinda goofy funny, he talked about food a lot(hot pockets, bacon, etc..). He's been in a few TV shows and movies, you should check him out.

Fic Recs:(not that many because I could barely move)
