LOVE ME LEAVE ME

PREV CHAPTER.

Two minutes later my phone vibrated. I looked down to see I got a text from Edward.

You took a body shot on my 6 pack ;)

BPOV

I don't know how long I've been staring at his text with my mouth hanging open and my face burning crimson red, but it was long enough to make Alice yell at me.

"EARTH TO BELLA! What did he send, a picture of his dick? Your face is redder than my underwear!" Alice laughed at her own joke. I stared at her, horrified.

"Do you remember me taking a body shot last night?" I choked, not being able to breathe. How humiliating, oh my God.

"NOO!" Alice exclaimed her face shocked and excited. "On my ass?"

"Will you quit it with your ass already! Just because I said it in my dream once doesn't mean I'm actually gonna do it!"

I slept over at Alice's house one day, after coming back from a club, totally drunk, and I have no idea what I've been dreaming but Alice claims I kept repeating how I was going to take a body shot on her ass. It was like my punishment for ignoring homeless men on streets who kept asking me to marry them, because after that night whenever we talked about taking body shots, Alice always teased me about it. The worst part is, that people next to us actually believed I liked taking shots on girls' asses!

"You say it like my ass is gross Bella!" She cried dramatically "Are you saying my ass is fat? Is that what you're trying to tell me?" She put her hand on her heart as if it was hurt.

"Oh stick Jasper's pizzle in it." I muttered. "Wait, let me text him back." I pressed reply.

OMG, are you serious? I dnt remember anythin!" How could I be so immature? Licking someone's stomach I've only met a few hours ago.

"I should've videotaped it so I could blackmail you later muahaha"

"Oh really, and what would be ur threat?"

"It's for me to know, and you to never find out ;) "

"Lol smooth, btw did Alice do it too?" PLEASE SAY YES, PLEASE SAY YES, PLEASE SAY YES, PLEASE SAY YES.

"Yeah, Jasper was pretty happy about it, I can't blame him though." I blushed at the last comment but shook it off. Smooth talker, club owner, lickable I looked at Alice.

"Looks like I wasn't the only one who licked abs last night." Alice's face freezed and she almost stopped the car in the middle of the freeway. We both screamed at the sudden stop but thankfully Alice managed to balance her speed in a second. The cars behind us started to honk their horns in irritation and fear. I took a breath, glad I was still alive. Alice was more worried about something else though.

"Are you serious?" Then she smiled. "Did he like it?" Scratch what I said. She wasn't worried that she did it. She was worried if she did it GOOD. I sighed.

"Yeah, Edward says he was pretty pleased." Alice squealed.

"First the strip dance then the body shot… Bella who the hell told you about that drink? The seducement goddess from Drink/and/pass out land?" She shook her head and laughed.

"I don't remember, but when I find out, I'm gonna sue her for making me become a slut and then not remember it!" I buried my hand in my hair and pulled it slightly in irritation, resting my arm on the side of the car and looking at the cars passing by.

"Come on don't stress too much Bella, it's not like we haven't done other crazier things before" Alice tried to comfort me. "Remember how you and Rosalie pretended to make out and Emmet videotaped and showed it to your mom?"

"Yeah, my mom almost got a heart attack. Remember I twisted my arm, trying to kick his ass."

"At least Rosalie punished him by not giving him any hoohah for a week.

"And we all know how one week is torturously long enough for Emmet."

"Yes, I've been told." Alice giggled.

"Oh my God, I'll never forget my mom's face. She still gets freaked out when I tell her about you guys." I tried to tell her that we were drunk and were just messing around but you can't erase you mom's memory when she sees her daughter kiss a different girl. Curse Emmet. That dude was completely insane. I smiled, remembering another memory.

"Remember how four of us got dressed up for Halloween in the middle of august and went for trick or treat at 3:00am." I laughed. Emmet was dressed as Ballerina Gorilla, Alice was a chicken, Rosalie was a homeless dude and I was a basketball player Oscar Gamble. Each of us knocked the same door over and over again, until people gave up telling us it wasn't Halloween and just threw whatever candy they had at us. Emmet even cried, after an old woman told him to go home because it wasn't Halloween. He started to yell for his mommy, I ran up to him and hugged his big waist, because I couldn't reach any higher and tried to soothe him.

'Shame on you! You greedy animal!' I yelled at the poor woman and walked away, both of us trying to not burst out laughing. Two minutes later, the same women run up to us and started to apologize. She gave Emmet lots of cookies and told him to have a Happy Halloween. I almost felt bad for lying to her, but hey, it didn't hurt her. Emmet pretended to cry again, this time in happiness and he yelled "Merry Christmas to you too, Santa loves you!" before we left. That night was one of the craziest times ever.

Alice laughed and continued.

"Remember when we found nerd freak Sean's diary? He wrote stories about a naked queen of underground kingdom who came to visit him every midnight, because her husband wasn't satisfying her? Then one day when we played truth or dare, we waited until he fell asleep and I went to his room in my underwear. I covered his eyes so he wouldn't see me and tied up his hands." She laughed remembering our crazy university life.

"Yeah, and then you said you were the queen and threatened him if he didn't stop writing perverted stories about you, your husband would come and make a hot dog out of his not so hot dog." We both laughed, I completely forgot about my embarrassment, it was over reaction I guess, because after all the things we have done before, we had no right to feel ashamed of this one. No matter how many years pass by, we will always remain the same crazy friends that we were when we first met.

"Thanks Alice." I smiled at her. She knew what I was talking about; she smiled back and threw me an air kiss. I suddenly gasped remembering I didn't text Edward back and looked down at my phone.

Of course you can't, my mouth is a professional. Take that, you confident sexy jerk. No one takes the steering wheel away from Bella at any car race.

Yes it is. And it's not the ONLY part of you that's professional.

Well I'm glad you enjoyed the show, cuz it ain't gonna happen again ;)

Hmmm, that's too bad. Did you enjoy my pancakes? I wasn't sure if he meant HIS 'pancakes' or literally the pancakes. But I decided to go with the second ne.

Yes it was fluffily sweet, thank you.

Np, I actually love cooking. And ur the type of girl who has an appetite and is not ashamed to show it. I respect and love that. I blushed again at his honesty. Damn his sweet words, I decided to play with him.

Hmm are you calling me a fat ass?

No, just an incredibly sexy women who eats like a pig =]

And proud of it! Cooking huh, like?

Do you like Italian?

Mmm, Pasta?

Si

Lasagna…Ravioli?

Gnocchi, Risotto, Si ,Si.

Momma Mia! I refuse to believe until I see.

Then you'll see. If you be good, I'll make Tiramisu too.

Is that a promise?

If you want it to be.

Sounds perfect.

After few more texts and giggles I looked up to see Alice parking the car, we arrived to my building and I didn't even notice how the time flew by. We went up to my apartment, both of us still tired from last night, but excited from the amazing morning.

We stood in the living room and silently stared at each other for 5 seconds. I felt like we were two cowboys in the middle of desert, the burning sun was making our eyes narrow to each other as the Texas slow music was going to start our fight. We both shrieked as we started to run towards the bathroom, like our life depended on it. I needed to take a shower as soon as possible and I wasn't going to let the pixie first. Even though the short freak was yanking my arms back and pulling my hair, and I almost tore apart her dress. It felt like we were running in slow motion. She got ahead of me, and I did the first thing I could think of. I threw myself at her and gripped her tiny feet in my hands as my body hugged the not so soft floor. Alice fell forward screaming as she slammed her face on the closed bathroom door. She screamed again and fell backwards on top of me, almost crushing my bones. I groaned and tried my best to get of the floor and shake Alice off of me. She rolled over and slowly looked up with half crazed and half murderous look on her face. I gasped and raised my hand to open the fucking door of heaven and shampoo. Alice screamed my name as I ran inside and locked the door behind me.

Mission accomplished. My imaginary cowboy blew the smoke of his gun and winked at me. I laughed in victory and hit my fists on my chest like Tarzan does in his movie.

"Muahahahahhhhahahaa! Monkeys shall never lose!" I started to sing random lyrics as I turned on the shower. I heard Alice's threats of sending embarrassing pictures to Edward if I don't come out, but I pretended like I didn't hear her. I stripped down and got under the warm and relaxing water. Heaaaveeeeeeen. It felt so good. I don't know how long I stayed like that, but I got out as soon as I heard Alice screaming and hitting the door. I wrapped myself in a soft red towel and lay on the bed, just enjoying some time alone at my own place, surrounded by soft and fresh sheets. I took my phone and saw 2 text messages, both of them from Edward. First one was 20 minutes ago, before Alice and I started our Shower War and second one 5 minutes ago. I read the first one.

Did you get home ok? I opened the second one.

Bella? Everything alright? Awww he was worried.

Sorry Alice and I had a little wrestle with each other, then I went to take a shower. Hehe, yes he MUST know that I just came out of shower. Why? Because I am one evil monkey.

I would've asked you to take it at my house, but I knew you would feel uncomfortable. Hmm, Getting out of shower wrapped in his towel and asking if I can borrow his clothes? Yes please!

Don't worry about it, I'm fresh and relaxed now. I got up and turned on my IPod. Kylie Minogue 's Chocolate song overflowed in the room. I put on lacy-trim cheeky panty and light pink Balconet bra with lace ribbon trim from Victoria Secret. Before I could choose what to wear my phone vibrated again. I felt naked, texting Edward like this, but the feeling wasn't unpleasant.

That's good. What are you doing? Texting a sexy guy in my underwear!

Nothin, listening to music. You?

Watching TV, what are u listening to?

My iPod was playing Ain't no sunshine when she's gone, so I typed the name and asked what he was watching. I got up from the bed and looked at myself in the mirror. My eyes looked excited, and hair was slowly getting dry. I turned around and looked over my shoulder. I wonder how I danced yesterday…I did some moves, slowly swaying my hips in 8 shape and going down. I wasn't bad…I smiled to myself. My phone vibrated again.

That's a good song, I'm watching Fighting. Have you seen it?

Are you kidding! It's one of my favorites!

Really, fav scene?

Every scene where Channing kicks ass

Whoa we got a tough girl here lol.

Mhm, I like violence lol. Not with me or with my close people though.

On TV and in your imagination?

AND next to me.

What do you mean?

Like in high school, when hot gangsters fought, I would be the first one to watch and cheer them. Once it happened like 5 feet away from me.

And you didn't run away?

No I just sat, silently admiring the whole scene.

You do realize that it's kind of…um what's the word I'm looking for….WEIRD?

Hey! It's not like you men don't enjoy when girls wrestle.

Yeah but those are the fake ones, and we know we won't be in danger. Yours is different Bella, you could get hurt.

But I didn't. The whole fights always ended too soon, cuz of the security =[

Aw poor baby…seriously why do you like it?

Cuz it's hot! Their furious faces hitting each other fast and aggressive.

So you like it rough huh?

Oh go choke yourself with a bra! I laughed out loud and pressed sent. Alice got out of the shower, giving me a 'You are weird' look and towel drying her hair. She got her phone out of her purse and squealed.

"Yay Yay I got a text!..." She quickly got dressed and walked into the kitchen. I saw her trying to make coffee with one hand and texting with the other one. It wasn't working out too good. Alice looked back and raised her eyebrows.

"Unless you are sending him dirty pictures I suggest you put some clothes on Bella." She yelled shaking her head. I yelled back.

"Why? Does it turn you on?" I spanked my own ass and stuck my tongue out at her. My phone vibrated again and I lay back on my stomach with my feet up.

LOL. You got any plans for today?

Yes. I'm gonna go fancy, and do my laundry while eating Chinese food…

As tempting as that sounds, would you like to do something else? If that something else means giving you a lap dance then of course I would! Bella control yourself, where is you dignity! Oh never mind, you lost it yesterday.

Like?

Jasper is asking Alice right now if you guys want to go to dinner today. I looked at Alice. Huh no wonder she was grinning like an idiot.

"Alice! Did Jasper tell you something about going to a restaurant today?" Alice squeal sang "Oh yes he did, oh yes we are and yes you will!" as she danced like a giraffe ballerina to my room and opened our closet.

"I'm dressing you up!" She shrieked and jumped on me. I screamed trying to make a getaway but she spun my hands behind my back. "That's for slamming my face on the door bitch!" She laughed hysterically.

"If you don't get off of me, I'll fart on your face Alice." I whispered. She let go of me fast like a lightning and raised her hands in defense. "Oh I've had enough of that already." She muttered and started to look through her closet. I picked up my phone again and texted.

Yeah, she just attacked me saying she will dress me up for that. But I defended myself, muahaha, my poison gas was my number one hero! I shall write a thank you letter to it.

Can't wait to see what she did.

Don't hold your breath, I'm gonna get ready by myself.

That's even better. We'll come pick you up at 6:00pm?

Sounds good.

Text interception between Alice and Rosalie

Stop giving a blow job to Emmet!

Shut up bitch, what do you want?

Well I knew you missed me so I decided to stop your pain. I'm here ma lady!

Alice did Bella get you drunk again?

No! Although, we did have bastard on the beach yesterday. And ended up in someone else's apartment. Today Bella and I have a date with him and his sexy friend!

20 minutes later text interception between Rosalie and Bella

TEXT INTERCEPTION BETWEEN JASPER AND EDWARD

Edward! For the 10th time do u mind answering my question?

Jasper? Are you ok? U r sitting next to me dude, y r u texting me?

Cuz you won't listen to me! Get up and get ready we are living in 40 minutes!

Okey girlfriend don't freak out, go do your nails until I'm done.

If we go late YOU are apologizing, not me.

Don't hate me because I'm beautiful.

Did you just quote the lyrics from "I'm too sexy?"

Shut up, I'm busy.

BPOV.

I finally stopped texting so I could get ready. It was 4:00pm and I was bored. Hmm I wonder what will happen tonight. It's a good thing I shaved when I took a shower. Hopefully the food will be good. Well it won't be as good as Edward's delicious body, but still. Now what should I wear? I opened my closet and stared at my clothes for what seemed like hours. Alice already picked out her clothes and was doing her hair. She insisted on doing mine again but I liked getting ready on my own. Alice was professional but I didn't want to be Bella Barbie all the time. I decided on golden dress with woven neckline and criss-cross woven open back. (Picture on my profile.) I picked silver high hills with bracelet and earrings. I let down my hair in soft waves and pulled one side of it back with an antique but fabulous silver hair clip. I did my makeup, adding thin line of black liquid eyeliner and gold eye shadow. I added mascara and blush, and light pink lip gloss. The final touch was my DKNY pink apple perfume; which smelled lightly sweet and fresh like a meadow of flowers.

"Alice do you know where they are taking us?" I asked putting on my earrings. We had 20 minutes left and Alice decided to change her nail color. She was extremely concentrated on her last two nails, the ones she always messed up the most. Her nails now matched her dress, which was Ruched asymmetric animal print print cocktail dress by Jovani.(Pic on my profile) It fell just above her knee, hugging her hourglass figure and making her look exotic. "By the way, you look absolutely gorgeous." Alice looked up from her last masterpiece with a satisfied sign and smiled at me.

"Thanks Bella, you look stunning as well." Her phone vibrated and she smiled again before picking it up. "Hey Jaz." She already had a nickname for him, aww..how…CHEESY!. "Yeah we are almost done. Are you gonna tell me where you guys are taking us?" She paused for few seconds and laughed "Ok fine, Bella I guess we'll have to wait." She looked at me and shrugged her shoulders. She hung up, of course after saying bye with her sweet and flirty voice 10 times. "They will be here in 10 minutes."

I was starting to get nervous. Was my dress ugly? Alice looked gorgeous; but I wasn't sure about myself. I looked back in the mirror again, Alice noticed my insecurity and smiled.

"Bella I'll officially think you are mentally disordered if you say you don't look good right now, because you look beautiful. Edward and other men won't be able to take their eyes of you." I gave her a small smile and murmured thanks. 10 minutes later we got a call from downstairs saying there were two men asking for us. We told the doorman to let them in. I decided to take a sip of champagne before leaving, to let my nerves loosen up a little bit. The doorbell rang, Alice was still in our bedroom putting her shoes on, I walked slowly, afraid to twist my ankle in those freaking HIGH heels. I opened the door with my left hand, the glass of champagne still in my right one.

"Good evening Bella." Jasper smiled politely and I opened the door more widely to let them in. Edward came after him smiling his crooked smile and breathing. "You look amazing." I blushed slightly and rolled my eyes. The reason I didn't speak was because I was afraid my voice would tremble. Edward looked too…too…too handsome for his and my own good. He was wearing dark jeans with grey V neck shirt and black wool sport coat over it. Oh my God, I want him, ugh he made my knees go weak and he didn't even touch me yet. I remembered how his body felt last night, pressed to mine as we slowly danced to the music. My heart started to beat like crazy and I couldn't stop the images that formed in my head. I wanted to jump on him wrap my legs around that sexy masculine waist and mouth fuck those delicious sexy lips. I wanted to pull his hair and hear him growl. His cologne made me even crazier and I almost whimpered.

I cleared my throat and asked them to sit before Alice came; as i finished my sentence though, Alice walked into the room, shining in excitement and confidence. I noticed Jasper's mouth open slightly as he blinked a few times and got up to greet her. I caught Edward staring at me; with an unexplainably hungry look in his eyes that I'm sure could make women drop their panties. It gave me encouragement and added the little confidence that needed to complete me. I winked at him and took another sip of my champagne, before getting up to put it in the sink.

I swear I could feel his eyes burning on my legs and my ass. Well if I had an audience I might as well give a good performance. I walked back gracefully and slightly bended down to get my purse. Edward got up too and once again our eyes met with the same hungry tension. We tried to cover it up with soft smiles and little talks but we both knew about the strong desire that was between us now, and was getting bigger and unbearable with every second. Four of us left the building and walked outside. The sky was getting ready to welcome the sunset; and the air was slightly becoming cold. I didn't know whose car we were taking so I silently followed. Jasper talked first.

"I hope you guys don't mind we came with two cars, I have work tomorrow and Edward is gonna to club after midnight." Ah shoot, I cursed in my mind as all my images of him on top of me disappeared from Jasper's words. Alice smiled.

"It's cool, so I guess I'll come with you, and Bella" She turned to me. "You'll come with Edward?" She asked, I felt Edward's eyes on me, so I just gave them a reassuring smile.

"Sure, sounds good." Sounds very…very GOOD. We walked towards a black Audi, I wasn't sure exactly what type. I lightly whistled.

"That's a sexy car you got there." The word slipped from my tongue before I could stop it. Edward gave me a crooked smile, which made me mentally whimper again. Before I could reach for the door he walked next to me and opened it. I looked at him completely surprised. No one ever showed such gentlemen gestures anymore, it was so sweet. He smiled.

"After you my lady." I giggled and got into the car. He walked around and got inside, we put our seatbelts and he started the car.

"Do you want me to turn on the AC?" He asked reaching for it and raising his eyebrows. We were so close and he looked so hot and his voice was so …so…mmm. I nodded and gave him a small smile. "What music would you like" He was acting so polite; I wanted to be more comfortable so I leaned back and looked at him.

"What were you listening when you came to pick us up?"

"Ummm…" He furrowed his eyebrows in loss of memory and pressed play.

Lenny Kravitz's Fly Away started to play and I gasped my mouth open in shock and excitement.

"Oh my God! I love this song!" I exclaimed and did a hyper small dancing with my arms, singing the lyrics.

His eyes widened in surprise and he raised his eyebrow, a little smile forming on his lips. Ugh that sexy smile…

"You are SO unpredictable Bella; I would never think anyone still remembers him." He laughed at my happiness and mouthed the lyrics with me looking at the road again. He was a fast driver but I wasn't worried. I was too busy singing one of my favorite songs that always made my day when I felt miserable. Who would've thought that Edward and I loved the same old music.

"To be honest I'm crazy for old songs."

"Me too, they are so different"

"Yes they are.

"You like Al Green?"

"Yes! And Barry White!" We laughed .

"Oh he is classic!...Sinatra too."

"Can't go wrong with Sinatra…Beat this…" I challenged, saying the name slowly. "Glenn Miller."

"Shut up!" He smiled in surprise.

"Do you have any of their CD's?" Both of us were acting like excited kids opening their Christmas presents for the first time. He nodded. The red light flashed in front of us as he stopped the car and looked around.

"Oh there it is." He said reaching his hand over my legs (and accidently touching them with his fingertips, sending shivers down my spine and to Vivi) getting the CD's that were squished between my sit and the side of the car. I composed my breathing quickly and watched as he put one of the CD's inside the player. Barry White's Love making music started to play, we started at each other our expressions blank for few seconds and burst out laughing.

"Oh my God Edward" I gasped holding my sides from laughing too much. "We can totally pick up old ladies on our way with this music!" I giggled again at Edward's shocked face.

"Only you would say that!" He laughed shaking his head.

"Oh come oooooon! Be crazy you old grandpa, just have fun, come on, we are doing it!" I said pulling down the side window and turning up the music.

"Bella! Please don't make me do this, what if we get a ticket or they throw something at us." He said turning down the music. I playfully glared at him.

"Don't be a chicken Edward." Seeing that he wouldn't agree I sighed. "Ok let's make a deal, if you do this, then I'll do something crazy too."

"Whatever I tell you?" I narrowed his eyes at me and asked suspiciously.

"As long as it's not too perverted or won't make me end up in jail." He looked at the road again for few seconds, thinking about my suggestion. Finally he sighed and turned up the music again. I cheered clapping my hands together and getting ready for the big show.

"Ok pull down your window and look for sexy grandmas." He did what I said, I was looking around, searching inside the cars that were passing by. My eyes caught orange haired women, driving alone in a red Toyota. I yelled.

"There there! On your side! She just passed by, It's the red Toyota, drive next to it!" I squealed.

God was on our side, because just as Edward hit the gas to drive faster and reach the Toyota, a red light flashed again. Now the two cars were stopped next to each other. Her windows were pulled down, she wasn't listening to any music though. She looked in her 50's; her wrinkled face had a soft blush on it. She was wearing big glasses and a yellow flower clip in her short hair. I pulled my sit back, and lay on my side so she wouldn't see me. Edward turned on the music as loud as it could go and looked at our prey. The woman looked his way, startled from the loud music, her eyes got wide as she saw Edward looking back at her.

"Wink, wink at her!" I whispered and poked his side. I couldn't see Edward's face, but when the woman's mouth dropped open I knew he did what I said. I giggled and poked him again.

"Slowly flip your hair back and bite your lip!" I held my mouth to stop from laughing. I saw Edward bend his head down and flipping his bronze hair, I noticed him taking his lower lip between his teeth. I did the same thing in hunger as I watched him. I saw the old lady's face become pale as she started at him for a few seconds. And then she did something that made my jaw drop. She gave him a 'sexy' toothy smile, her hands went up to her jacket and she slowly pulled the zipper down, revealing her white and large tank top underneath. I could imagine Edward's horrified face, but before I could say anything, a car behind us honked his horn, we both looked front and noticed that the light turned green. Yes! We were saved! Edward hit the pedal and the car flew from its place like a rocket. I pulled the sit up again turned down the music. Both of us burst out laughing again, this time harder than before. Tears were running down my eyes and tried to steady my breath to get oxygen into my lungs again. Edward did the same thing as we tried to catch out breaths. He whispered.

"Oh you are so dead, now I'll never be able to erase that from my head." He shuddered shaking his head. He looked pale and scared and disgusted all the same time.

"I wish we could've videotape it, it was priceless!" I giggled again.

"You are so gonna pay for that, you know that right?" He playfully glared at me.

"Did you already plan it?"

"No, I think the idea will just pop in my mind when the right time comes." He winked.

Few minutes later we parked in front of The Signature Room at 96th. It was a luxurious restaurant. Edward got out and walked my way to open the door. He held my hand as I got out of the car and before I could think about it we walked towards the door arm in arm. I looked at our intertwined arms in surprise but pleasure; he looked down at me and smiled. Just as I expected he opened the door again, we let go of each other as we entered the restaurant. I saw Alice and Jasper waiting for us inside. Once we came close, we walked into the elevator and went up to the signature lounge. As we walked towards our table, I gasped at the beauty in front of me.

Now if you live near Chicago and you write to do list before you die, then add having dinner here, because this is one of the most exquisite things you should definitely see before you say goodbye to this world. The whole south and west side of the city was in front of me, painted in all the shades of pink and orange sunset. The sky was almost getting dark purple and blue. I couldn't wait to see how it would look at night. I would give everything to live here, just take out everything and bring my furniture here. We sat next to the tall window, four of us amazed with the sight. The mood of the place was elegant with dark wood, marble tile and accent lighting. Edward and I were sitting next to each other and facing Jasper and Alice. A handsome waiter (not as handsome as Edward) walked towards our table and gave us our menus. Four of us opened it to see what looked good. Edward nudged my shoulder and said.

"See anything you like?" Oh I do, and it's not on the menu. I looked at him innocently and shook my head.

"I think I'll get Baked Bree Cheese" He said.

"What is it made of?" I heard Jasper ask.

"It's um…Buffalo trace and mutsu apple chutney." I had no idea what he said.

"Yum, sounds good, I'll have that." I smiled.

"I'll haaaave….umm…" Alice sang slowly, eyes still on the menu. "Chilled Jumbo Shrimp doesn't sound bad."

"Oh I've tried that one, it's really good." Jasper said.

"Then Jumbo it is." Alice smiled back at him and I rolled my eyes at her. She held the menu to the side of her hand so no one could see except me and flipped the bird. We both giggled.

"What about the drinks." Jasper asked.

Alice and I looked through the menus again.

"I think I'll have Peach Cosmo." Alice said thoughtfully. I saw my favorite cognac, but the price was two times higher than Alice's drink, I bit my lip. Damn I wish…Suddenly I felt a soft breath on my neck.

"Bella what do you want?" Edward whispered as he leaned close to see what I put my finger on. Before I could move it on a different drink, he announced.

"We'll have two Hennessy." He smiled at my playful glare, which melted into a soft smile in a second. Jasper decided on Ice Blue Martini. We gave the waiter our orders and started little conversations. The soft jazz was happily playing with our mood strings and making the time flow by with smiles and laughter. I haven't had this much fun with men before. It was sweet and lovely to communicate so easily with them. It was funny how we were dancing strip tease and taking body shots on them yesterday like crazy women, and today we were sophisticated elegant ladies having a lovely dinner with handsome gentlemen at one of the most beautiful restaurants in town. We ate our food, while telling funny stories from our high school and university life. We made toasts for our developing friendship and whatever life would bring us in the future. The view was already covered in dark black silk, with millions of little lights sprinkled on the city and in the sky around the moon. The lounge was filled with melodies of slow piano. We were finishing our desert, which were Godiva Chocolate Bread Pudding and Vanilla Cheesecake. Edward constantly tried to steal my pudding but I would poke his hand with my fork every time it came near my plate.

When we were done, the gentlemen insisted on paying the check, and we gave in. We walked outside, towards our cars. The cold breeze made Goosebumps on my arms as I wrapped them around my waist. I felt Edward put his coat on my shoulders and leave his arm there, keeping me close to his warm side. I pressed my lips together to stop myself from smiling. It was so corny for me, if I saw this scene on TV, I would probably say something sarcastic about it. But feeling it, was exactly the opposite. I felt safe, cozy, protected…and turned on. Jasper opened his car for Alice, and Edward did the same for mine. He got in and started the car. I could smell his cologne all over my body, hypnotizing my senses. I wrapped myself further into the jacket as if I was cold. Edward turned on the heater and drove in comfortable silence for few minutes.

"I had a great time today." He confessed, looking at the road.

"Me too, haven't had this much fun since…yesterday" I laughed "But this is different, at least I'll remember it tomorrow." His chuckle made my heart warm.

"Yeah, and no body shots or striptease competition." He winked at me and I laughed."When do you go to work tomorrow?"

"9:00 am. I finish at 6…sometimes sooner or later though." I worked almost 8-11 hours a day, I didn't mind before because I had nothing else to do.

"Hmm." He nodded. "I go to work at 9:00pm and finish it 4:00 or 5:00am, I leave Derek on charge a lot though, I'm planning on making him the manager next month."

"That's good. He looked like a responsible person."

"Yeah and I can trust him you know, he is honest and takes his job seriously." I nodded, the atmosphere was peaceful again. We added little comments about today and our jobs, until he pulled in front of my building. He insisted on walking me to my apartment and I said ok. As we entered the elevator I started to get nervous. Was he expecting me to ask him to stay? Did I want him to stay? Scratch that, COULD I ask him to stay? Wasn't this too fast? Ok breathe Bella, maybe he is just being gentlemen and doesn't want you to be in the elevator alone. Who knew what could happen on your way, maybe a drunk lesbian would attack you, or old pervert would try to touch your ass. Yes, I'm sure that's all he was worried about. I tried to take normal breaths but almost jumped two feet in the air when the elevator dinged and opened the doors. We slowly walked towards my door. Oh God, oh God , Oh God, help me! What do I do ,what do I do, what do I do, what do I do. Bella compose yourself! I wasn't even this nervous before my last sex. What the hell was wrong with me now? You are just over thinking it because you haven't done this for a long time. Yes you are right, my inner voice. I trust you. I looked up at Edward's emerald green eyes and saw confusion, nervousness, desire and hope in them. He didn't talk…his eyes dropped from my eyes to my lips and then back on my eyes again. I gave him back his coat and took out my keys. I cleared my throat and looked down playing with the keys in my hands.

"So um, thank you. For…walking me…to my apart-" Before I could look up and finish my sentence Edward softly but firmly pressed his lips to mine. The world stopped for two seconds as I felt his lips latching on my bottom one few times. I closed my eyes and moved my mouth slightly to the side and sucked on his upper lip. I heard him breathe heavily through his nose as his hands grabbed my waist and pressed my small body to his strong one. I gasped at the feeling and wrapped my arms around his neck gripping his silk hair. I felt his tongue press on my mouth as I parted my lips and let it slide into my mouth. He tasted delicious; it wasn't boring or awkward like my other kisses. This was wild, unpredictable, desirable, no words to describe the way he kissed me. I moaned and pressed into him closer, and felt his low growl from his chest. He turned us to the left and crashed my body on the wall. I moved my hands to his neck, slightly panting as our kisses became more furious. I didn't want to stop but I didn't want to rush either. So I tried to slow it down, I felt him doing the same thing as he broke away from the kiss, both of us breathing heavily our chests pressed to each other. We looked at each other's lips, which were darker and swollen from the attack. He whispered my name, so low I almost didn't hear it and leaned to press his lips lightly on mine again. I closed my eyes in pleasure as he placed soft kisses along my jaw and my neck. Every little kiss made my heart beat faster and my knees go weak. My Vivi was threatening to kill me if I didn't ask him to stay, but my mind made the final decision. I moaned in pleasure as he twirled his tongue around my pulse point; but I put my hands on his chest and slightly pushed back, hoping he would get the hint. His mouth left my skin and he looked into my eyes. I knew if we stayed like that for another minute, it would be too late, so I gave him a smile and breathed.

"Goodnight Edward." He stepped back and I almost whimpered from the loss of his warm body. He looked like he wanted to do the same thing.

"Goodnight Bella." he breathed.
