Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight of any of it's characters although i do believe everyone wants to own a piece of Edward. Hm? am i correct.
Summary: She settled for him, knowing deep down it wasn't going to last. When it fell apart, could she convince herself even she deserved more? He had lived with heartbreak longer than he thought possible. Will he let her mend his broken heart? When Edward and Bella meet, things can only get better, or can they?

Bella's point of view.
I wasn't sure if anyone could hate their job as much as I did. Perhaps it was because this was not where I originally saw myself at this point in my life. I worked at Newton Staffing Agency as a receptionist, and I really, really hated it. Not the job per say, but my boss could be a real scumbag. If it wasn't for the decent pay I probably wouldn't stay. But it helped me get by on my own and the last thing I wanted to do was lean on James for support. He was already paying child support and I didn't want to depend on him for myself. I had to admit, though, that despite being a real ass, he always did make sure I was okay money wise and all. No matter where or how the two of us ended up I would always be the mother of his child. Nothing could ever change that. And I guess, in his own way, he loved me for that.
I had been working here for three years now and I think I probably got hit on by my boss Michael Newton at least ten times a day. The day after he heard I was getting a divorce he asked me out, telling me I looked like I need to be shown a real good time. He was disgusting and I hated his every advance. He was having a fling with one of the other receptionists; Lauren. One time I had gone to his office to get him to sign something I heard them having sex. I was scarred for life!
This week, however, nothing could get me down. I was happy, happier than I'd been in a long time. And a lot of that was thanks to Edward and his little girl. Seeing Jane so happy being friends with Emma made me so happy, both for her and for myself. And then getting to know Edward myself, being able to flirt and feel wanted? It was beyond amazing. I couldn't deny that I was slowly falling for the man, and I found myself wishing to see him constantly. We had already slept together and I wasn't sure if that was the best thing, but I tried no to dwell on it. It had simply been too amazing to sully with thoughts of regret.
He called me Sunday night asking what day of the week he could take me out to dinner. I said Wednesday would probably be the best, especially since Mike would be out of the office Thursday so I wouldn't have to worry about being tired or anything. Not like there would be a real reason to be tired. But going out to dinner during the week when you worked a full-time job and had a 7 year old daughter could be tiring…
I only had a couple hours left until I had to go home and get ready, and Rose had stopped by to see me. Usually this would be frowned upon, but Mike just loved when Rose stopped in. Yeah, it was only because he spent the whole time staring at her body. Rose instantly started questioning me on what I was going to wear on my date with Edward.
"I'm not sure, maybe some nice pants and a nice top?" I said as I was typing away on my computer.
Rose let out a sigh, "Bella! You cannot wear that! He's taking you out to dinner you need to dress fucking hot! Thankfully, being the best friend that I am, I brought some options. They're in my car and I'll bring them over tonight when Angela and I help you get ready."
I groaned and looked up at her. "Of course you and Angela would help me get dressed for my date. Like I could ever escape you two."
"Ain't it the truth," she grinned as she loudly sucked on her slurpee.
"Since when do you drink those?"
She shrugged and took another sip, "Since Emmett got me hooked on them."
"Emmett? Your doctor boy?" She nodded. "Can I just tell you how amazed I am that you're still talking to this guy, not to mention going on dates with him still? How many is this now?"
"Five. What can I say? He's like perfect for me. That's really scary isn't it?" she groaned and buried her head in her hands.
"Hell has frozen over I think."
"That's for sure, I mean who would have thought my little innocent best friend would be having this fucking wild and crazy sexy with this sex god."
"Rose!" I glared at her, "I'm at work. So let's not talk about that now."
Rose ended up leaving shortly after saying she had some last minute errands to run. She would meet back at my house when she finished, where I would then have the privilege of being treated like a Barbie doll. Yay!
I ended up leaving fifteen minutes early myself, which I was glad about; I wanted to make sure I had enough time to cook dinner for Jane. Not that I didn't think my sister or the others couldn't cook her a meal or anything, but sometimes they preferred to go the easy way out. Especially Rosalie!
As soon as I walked in the door, however, all four girls— oh yes! All four of them— attacked me. They dragged me upstairs and started looking through my closets even though I clearly saw Angela and Rose carry their own bags upstairs. After about 10 minutes of Rose groaning at everything in my closet, she gasped and pulled out this dress she had bought me last Christmas, one I had yet to wear.
"Bella Dunham!" she scolded. "I do not buy you these beautiful dresses just so you can leave them in the closet with the tags still attached!"
"I don't ever have places to wear them!" I tried to defend myself but she wasn't having it.
"Well now you do." She came over and placed the dress down on my bed.
"But it's too fancy! I can't wear that."
Nessie let out a sigh and shook her head. "I have an idea!" She quickly ran out of the room only to return a few minutes later with a pair of white leggings. "Leggings look great with dresses and they definitely make the outfit more casual."
"Yes!" Rose grinned, "Those will go perfect with the coat I'm letting you borrow." She went over to her bag and pulled out a white coat and showed it to me.
I sighed and smiled softly, "Well since you're letting me borrow it I guess I can deal. So… we done?"
Angela and Rose both shook their heads. "Not even close… After I left your job I met up with Angela at the mall and we each bought you a little gift for going back into the world of dating. We're just so proud of you."
I rolled my eyes, "You didn't…"
"Oh we did," Angela chuckled and ran over to her bag and pulled out a shoe bag, showing me these beautiful high heels. These beautiful high heels I would most likely break my neck in.
"Ta daaa!"
"No. Way!"
"Yes. Way!" Rose smirked then brought over a little bag for me and dropped it in my lap.
I groaned when I pulled out a bra and panty set, "I so do not need these."
"Oh yes you do if you guys—" Rose stopped and turned to look at Jane, "Jane can you get aunt Rose a drink?"
Jane groaned and slid off my bed, "Do I have to?"
"Yes please, and then I'll show you the present I got you as well." Jane bolted out of the room at that. "Okay! As I was saying; yes you do if you guys have sex again."
"Ew, okay that's my teacher and my sister," Nessie cringed.
It didn't take too long to get ready and before I knew it my phone was ringing. It was Edward telling me he would be there in fifteen minutes. Oh it was time to panic now! I wasn't even sure why, I had gone to the park with him, and the zoo, had a sleepover at his goddamn house. Maybe because all those times the girls were with us? This time it would be Edward and me, me and Edward, just us, alone, no kids, just two adults who are extremely attracted to each other. Oh god I was in for it.
I had begged the girls to stay in the kitchen when he came and after a few groans they agreed. When I answered the door to greet him I was taken back, he looked so good. Not that he didn't look great the last few times I saw him…
"Hi," I said shyly as I held the door open with my hand. "You look great."
"Hey, you look great yourself," he smiled at me. I already had my coat on and my clutch in my hand, ready to go before one of them came out of the kitchen and embarrassed me.
"Ready to go?"
"Definitely." I smiled and took his arm as he held it out for me. We drove for about 20 minutes until we arrived at this little Italian restaurant.
"My parents love this place," he told me when he opened the door for me to walk in.
"Well… I am sure they have great taste." I smiled to him as he gave the host our name and we were immediately led to our table. Edward pulled out my seat and helped me with my jacket.
"Wow."
"What?" Oh god was there something on my dress?
"I was wrong when I said you look great, because you look absolutely stunning."
I blushed as I sat down in my seat, "Thank you."
Edward sat across from me and smiled, "You're welcome, but it's the truth. Another truth is I adore your blush, it's so sweet."
"No, it's childish. What grown woman still blushes?"
"One who has a heart of gold and cares immensely about the people around her," Edward smirked as he ordered a bottle of wine. "The way I've seen you with Jane… it's amazing. Even with my own daughter. It makes me hate that Tanya is her mother, the compassion you have."
"What is Tanya like if you don't mind me asking?"
"To put this lightly, she's a self-centered, cruel and heartless bitch." He groaned and scratched his chin. "Really, I don't care how she is toward me but it's how she is with Emma. She's never really been that great of a mother. It's like Tanya feels like she deserves some medal for taking care of her daughter."
"I'm really sorry. Let's talk about something else," I said, quickly changing the subject, not really wanting to know more about his ex-wife. "Tell me more about your family, you said your dad is a doctor and your mom owns her own decorating business right?"
Edward nodded and poured us each a glass of wine as it arrived at the table.
"Yes, she's quite successful. My sister Alice is a personal shopper and works for my mother as well and is trying to make her own clothing line. And my brother Emmett is a doctor."
"That's a popular name for doctors now a days…"
"It is?" he asked confused.
"Well… my best friend Rose, she's seeing this doctor named Emmett— wait, it couldn't be?"
"You said Rose works at a gallery right?" I nodded and he chuckled, running a hand through his hair. "I can't believe we didn't connect this earlier. My brother is totally seeing your best friend."
"Small world," I smiled. We decided to look over our menus when we noticed the waiter glaring impatiently at us.
"I want to see you this weekend…" he told me halfway through dinner as he reached over and placed his hand on my own. "But if you don't want to see me that's fine… I mean I've occupied your last two weekends—"
"I want to see you too, but I won't have Jane."
"That's not a problem. I can cook you dinner, Emma asked me if she could too. She really likes you and thinks you're pretty."
"Stop it…" I picked up my napkin and wiped the corner of my mouth, "You're making me blush again."
"Oh shush!" He raised up the bottle of wine, "Do you want another glass?"
I nodded slowly and then noticed he didn't pour another for himself, "You're not going to have another glass?"
He shook his head and picked up his water taking a sip. "I limit myself to one glass of any type of alcohol when I drive. Since—" he stopped himself and shifted awkwardly in his seat. I had a feeling it had to do with the death of his son, but I wouldn't push the subject. He would talk when he was ready, if he ever wanted to talk to me that was.
"But Edward! You bought an entire bottle… and it's expensive," I sighed. "This whole meal is expensive."
"Someone as beautiful as you deserves the best for her first official date."
The food was fantastic, the whole night was amazing. Edward drove me to my house afterwards and walked me to the door trying not to laugh as I continued to try not to trip.
"I swear it's not the wine! It's these damn shoes Angela bought me; me and high heels do not mix!"
"I'll try to remember that! We'll only go to places where you can wear flats." He chuckled as we came to a stop in front of my door. "So… Saturday, right? Bring Nessie, Emma would love to see her again."
I nodded, "I'll see what she's doing… Do you want to come in?" I wanted him to so bad. Was that wrong of me?
Edward leaned his arm against the doorframe and sighed deeply, "Bella, don't do that."
"Do what?"
"Invite me in when I'm trying to be good." He reached out and stroked my cheek. "I want more than anything to come in but I don't want you to think that every time I see you I want it to lead to something. I want to show you I like spending time with you and I really love getting to know you."
"I like getting to know you too."
"Okay, well… then I'm going to leave while I still can and I will see you Saturday. Night beautiful." He leaned in and captured my lips in a slow, sensual kiss. When he pulled away I couldn't help but whimper. "I'll call you about Saturday." He pressed another kiss to my cheek and turned and walked to his car.
I stood there for a few seconds before turning and walking into the house. The living room light was off but the light from the kitchen could be seen as well as the light radiating from the television. Rose was sitting on the couch with her feet up on the table eating cheese doodles as Nessie was passed out next to her.
"Hey."
Rose turned and looked over at me, "hey, where's the sex god?"
"Don't call him that." I peeled off my coat and placed it on a chair. "His name is Edward and he went home."
"Burn."
I rolled my eyes as I leaned down and took off the shoes next. "No, it was a nice ending to a perfect night. We don't need to have sex to make it that way… unlike you," I finished with a smirk.
"Whatever you say princess." Rose closed up the bag and tossed it on my coffee table. "Jane's in her room asleep and Nessie's… well, you can see about her," she motioned to my sister asleep next to her.
"Thanks!" I reached over and turned the light on as Rose grabbed the remote and turned the television off. "He wants me to come over again for dinner Saturday."
"I see," Rose smirked as she stood up and straightened her outfit out. "I'm going to meet Emmett at the diner; he's just getting off his shift from the hospital."
"Oh yeah, about that… Edward has a brother that's a doctor."
"Okay? Does he work at the same hospital as Emmett or something?"
"Yeah, Emmett's dad is a doctor too right?"
Rose nodded, "Yeah he mentioned something about that."
"Do you know anything else about his family?" I tried to keep a straight face.
"Um, did you hear he's an axe murderer or something?"
"Answer my question blondie," I chuckled.
"His mom's a decorator and his sister's a personal shopper and his brother's a—" she stopped and looked at me wide eyed.
"A teacher? Just like Edward who just happens to be Emmett's brother." I laughed as Rose just stared at me, "We realized it tonight at dinner."
"Wow." Rose just shook her head. "That's really weird! I can't believe I didn't realize it!"
"I didn't realize it either at first."
"Okay… well goodnight." We gave each other a quick hug and I went into my kitchen to assess the damage; thankfully it wasn't bad at all. Someone had done the dishes, most likely Angela. I took them out of the drain board and put them in the cupboard and turned around when I heard Emily Bronte meowing from her spot on the counter.
"Hey princess," I reached over and scratched her behind the ear. "Did you get fed tonight?" I peeked into her bowl and it had been filled. I walked out of the kitchen and turned off the light, heading over to Nessie and giving her a little shake. "Ness, sweetie you got to go into your bed."
She stirred in her sleep and finally opened her eyes, stretching out as she sat up, "Hey how was dinner?"
"Really good," I smiled at her. Beside's worrying constantly if seeing Edward in anyway besides friendship would affect Jane, I also worried how it would affect Nessie since he was her teacher. "He asked if you wanted to come to dinner at his house Saturday night with me; his daughter would love to see you again."
She shrugged her shoulders as she brought herself to her feet. "Maybe…" She let out a yawn as we both headed upstairs to our bedrooms, turning off lights as we went. "Night Bells."
"Night Nessie."
The next morning I got up with ease, jumped in the shower, blow dried my hair and put a black headband in with a little bow on it. I threw on a pair of black slacks, a brown sweater, and some black flats. Nessie was already getting ready in her own room so I woke up Jane and picked out an outfit for her. I went downstairs to the kitchen, got Emily Bronte some fresh water and food. Threw some waffles in the toaster oven and put them on the table just in time for the girls to come downstairs. After they finished I cleaned up the kitchen and drove both girls to school, feeling desperately stupid hoping to see Edward when I dropped Nessie off. Sadly I didn't, so I headed to work and was glad I would be Mike, aka Mr. Newton, free for the day.
The day was surprisingly not too bad, besides Lauren talking my ear off about Mike. I didn't really want to know about their late night activities in the office, on the copier... That one I especially didn't need to know. Thankfully the phone rang.
"Hello and thank you for calling Newton Staffing Agency, this is Isabella speaking, how can I help you?"
"Bella, it's James."
"Oh hey, is everything okay?"
"Yeah of course, I just wanted to talk to you about Thanksgiving."
"Oh, okay?" I shifted in my seat and noticed Lauren get up and walk back to her desk. Obviously annoyed I wasn't listening to her anymore. "What's up?"
"My parents are coming down to my sisters and they really want to see Jane. I know we haven't discussed what we're doing yet—" he paused for a moment. "Could I take her with me and then drop her off after dinner? Cause they're going to serve dinner real early and I wasn't sure what your plans were."
"Yeah that's fine." I couldn't deny the fact I hated not having Jane every holiday; I was still getting use to it. "We'll talk about it more when you pick Jane up on Friday; I've got to get back to work." We said our quick goodbyes and hung up just in time for me to see a text message on my phone. I opened it and couldn't help but smile.
Saturday night around 6:30?
Can't wait to see you
- Edward.
Friday after James came and picked up Jane and we discussed Thanksgiving plans, Nessie offered to go food shopping with me for what I needed for Thanksgiving dinner. I enjoyed the moments we were able to bond together as sisters. Even if she wouldn't exactly tell me everything I wanted to know. We spent a good while picking out the food I needed for the Thanksgiving dinner for the two of us, Rose, Angela and Ben. We talked about work, school, what I was going to make on Thanksgiving as well as Edward.
Nessie felt bad but she was going to have to decline the invitation from Edward for dinner on Saturday. She had a huge project due Monday and had yet to get started on it. Of course, I got on her case for that but told her I would tell him she was sorry. Of course… this was going to make it more difficult for me to be there alone with Edward once Emma was asleep. I couldn't stop the fact that I had been fantasizing about Edward lately. Oh god what was wrong with me? Scratch that… I knew what was wrong with me. I was a 28 year old woman who just got the taste of sex for the first time in well over a year. Amazing sex that I wanted more of. Actually, I probably would take anything, like Edward's tongue working on me down there. Oh that was an image I enjoyed having in my head…
I arrived just on time and couldn't help but smile at the picture in front of me; Emma was busy in the kitchen with Edward as her helper. They had chosen to make lasagna, cheesy garlic bread and a salad; Emma apparently had gotten the recipe from her grandma. Edward kept cracking jokes that his 8 year old daughter could cook better than him.
"What can I say, it's because of grandma," Emma grinned widely as she brought the bowl of salad over to the table while we waited for the lasagna to cool down. "Bella you'll have to meet my grandma and grandpa sometime, they'll love you! Grandma and Aunt Alice take me shopping all the time for great clothes!"
"Speak of the devil," Edward chuckled as his cell phone began to ring. "Hey Alice… what? Why?" He sighed… "But— Yes we're about to have dinner. How do you know? And why are you talking to Jasper? Is there something I should know? Mmhmm. I'll ask her, okay?" He covered the receiver and looked down at Emma. "Em, Aunt Alice wants to know if you want to have a sleepover with her tonight at her house."
Emma eyes lit up, there was something about girls and sleepovers, "Can I? Can I?"
"Yes you can." He uncovered the phone and went back to talking to his sister. "She said yes. Well we're about to eat dinner so give us like 30 minutes before you get here. Yeah, yeah love ya too you annoying little pixie." He hung up the phone and smiled at me, "My sister can be rather persistent."
"I noticed," I said with a chuckle as I leaned against his counter watching him go over and put the garlic bread into a bowl.
Dinner was fantastic and full of laughter; Emma was such a little comedian. Edward kept saying she got it from her uncle Emmett. When we were done and Edward's sister had yet to arrive yet, Emma asked if I would help her pack an overnight back.
As I helped Emma pick out pajamas and an outfit for the following day she told me all about how she loved her room which was simply the most adorable thing ever. Her grandma and aunt had decorated it, her room at her mom's was decorated too but she didn't like it as much.
"Bella I'm really glad you make my dad smile."
I couldn't help but blush from the spot I sat on her bed. "And I'm glad I can make him smile Emma."
"Jane likes seeing you smile too," she grinned up at me as she zipped up her backpack with her overnight stuff inside. We headed downstairs just in time to see Edward's sister sitting down on the couch. She didn't look much like him, besides their similar paleness. She had black hair compared to his bronze mess, and it made me wondered what their brother looked like.
Alice jumped to her feet, a huge smile on her face. As soon as I hit the bottom step she lunged at me, pulling me into a hug almost knocking me on my ass.
"Alice!" Edward groaned and shook his head, "let her go."
Alice released me from the hug and stepped back, "Hi! I'm Edward's sister Alice, you must be Isabella."
"Yeah," I said, looking at Edward who was busy looking down at his shoes trying to hide his smirk. "You can call me Bella though."
"Well Bella, I just wanted to say hi! Edward keeps bringing up your name so I had to meet you." Alice smirked then went and gave Emma a big hug, "Ready to have fun tonight?"
"Yes!"
"We're going to stay up late and bake cupcakes and eat all the ice cream we want."
"Alice," Edward said with a warning voice.
Alice just rolled her eyes, "Fine! We'll eat a small amount of ice cream." Then she mouthed to Emma, 'yeah right'.
Emma and Alice left a few minutes later and Edward and I were left to ourselves. He poured us each a glass of wine and we settled down on his couch. The sexual tension in the room could be cut with a knife as we gazed at each other, trying to find something to keep our minds off of where they kept going. We were alone, 100% alone, no kids in the house, just Edward and myself.
"So…" I began to say as I fingered the back of the couch with one hand, holding the glass of wine lazily in my other hand. "Dinner was really good."
"Yeah, it was." I noticed him chewing on his bottom lip nervously, "Oh fuck it."
He grabbed my glass of wine and put it down on the table next to him and pushed me against the couch. Our mouths connected as soft moans of pleasure escaped. Edward's fingers soon found the buttons of my sweater and quickly undid them, throwing it to the ground. My hands began to tug on the hem of his shirt, lifting it up, so desperately wanting to remove the offensive material from his gorgeous body.
"Edward," I breathed out as our lips broke apart so he could remove his shirt, and then started with my own tank top.
His lips soon found my neck, "God Bella! I want to taste you so bad!"
Those simple words made the dampness between my legs grow, "oh god." I threw my head back against the couch, giving him better access. Soon enough the rest of my clothes were shed and Edward was lowering himself to the ground, kissing my body on the way down. The way he looked up at me through his eyelashes as he went, I swear I could have came right there. He pulled my body down so I was laying diagonal across the couch, my sex directly in front of his face. I threw my head back as his tongue ran through my folds.
"You taste divine," he moaned before giving me another lick. "I'm going to fuck you with my tongue."
I arched my body into him, moaning loudly as his tongue drove into me. I knew I wasn't going to last long. The way his tongue was moving, seeing his bronze mess between my legs would send any girl over the edge. Slowly sliding one of his hands up my body he began to kneed my breast, "O-oh fuck! Edward! God yes." I tried to buck my hips but he kept holding me down. "God, god I can't—"
He looked up at me smirking, "can't what?"
"T-take this—" I bucked my hips into his face, "I need you inside me now, please."
He gave me one more lick before slowly pressing kisses up my body until he was face to face with me.
"And where do you want me to take you sweet Bella? You want me to take you right here on this couch, just lift your leg over my shoulder and pound into you? Or on my kitchen counter, would you like to be fucked on a kitchen counter again?" All I could do was moan in response. "Or against the wall? The front door? The staircase? Where Bella? Where do you want me to fuck you?"
"I-I uhh—"
"I can't hear you Bella, where do you want me to fuck you?"
"The wall!" I cried out, "Fuck me against the wall!"
"Your wish is my command beautiful." He leaned down and pressed a gentle kiss on my lips before standing up and shedding his pants and boxers, throwing them in the pile of the rest of our clothes.
"Stay right there." He made his way upstairs and was back in a flash with a handful of condoms. He took one, throwing the rest on the table, and ripped open the one in his hand and slid it onto his length. He pulled me to my feet and picked me up into his arms like I weighed nothing. I wrapped my legs around his waist, feeling his arousal against me, begging to be buried into my warmth. And in the next moment, I was pushed up against the wall as Edward thrust into me.
"F-Fuck!" I yelled out as he began to move in and out of me, "Faster, faster!" I gripped at his skin trying to get him as close as I could. The house soon filled with the sounds of our grunts, moans and heavy breathing. Then all of a sudden we were moving… Edward was walking as he was bouncing me up and down on his cock. "Yes! Yes!"
"You like that baby?" he grunted through his teeth as he held me firmly, moving up the stairs trying not to fall but keeping sure I was still moving up and down on him. He pushed me against wall after wall until we finally made it to his bedroom.
"E-Edward! Oh fuck me harder!" He went harder, and my words turned to mush. "Uh, uh…" was all I was able to get out of my mouth as Edward released his open hand and began to massage my breast roughly. He moved backwards until his knees hit the bed and we were falling, a fall which only caused him to hit me deeper and I to throw my head back with a moan as I began to ride him wildly.
"Bella!" He yelled out as I looked down at him, my hair cascading down my face like a curtain. I took his hand and began to suck on one of his fingers, "Oh Fuck… I-I'm not going to l-last…"
I released his finger and threw my head back, bouncing up and down on him as his hands came up to grab my breasts. The coils in my stomach were about to burst and I couldn't take it anymore. I slammed down on him hard as I came apart, "UH!"
Edward continued to thrust up into me until he hit his own release, arching his body up as his hands came to grip my hip hard. I collapsed onto his chest, both of us spent and trying desperately to catch our breath. We were covered in sweat as Edward reached up and pushed my hair out of my face.
"You okay?"
"I'm better than okay…" I sighed contently as I nuzzled into him.
"Does it bother you when I talk like I did on the couch?"
I moved my head so I was looking into his face; he looked sincere and rather sad. "No not at all. It's quite a turn on actually, so keep doing it."
"Then I will." He gave me a sly smirk before pulling my face in for a kiss and what it would lead to… Well we would just have to see where the night took us.
