Edward's been gone for two months, 12 hours, 17 minutes, and 49 seconds, but whose counting. He isn't going to be as busy so I am flying down to see him. I dislike flying as it is but it is worse when you are completely alone. I made the mistake of letting Edward book my flight so I am in first class. Luckily I slept through most of it and nobody bothered me, thank God.

When I woke I only had ten minutes until landing and I was really excited to see Edward. Watching movies of him on youtube is just not the same as being with him. I almost sprinted out of the terminal to baggage claim not being able to calm myself when I got off the plane.

There was a guy with a sign with my name waiting for me. I smiled at him and he took my bags and started walking towards a limo. The man stopped behind me and spoke for the first time, "Estamos prontos senhor?" I turned to look at him and try to explain I did understand what he was saying but as soon as my mouth opened I heard the voice of an angel, "Sim obrigado Baltazar queira assumir de volta para o conjunto." I turned and jumped into his arms.

"Vejo-me perdido alguém muito!" I pulled away from him and looked at him like he was crazy, "I learned Spanish and English in school not Portuguese." He lightly kissed me, "I said someone missed me." I kissed him back, "Damn straight." He held me close to him the whole ride to the set where I got to meet all the people he was working with. I even got to meet Jane who taught him Portuguese.

We ended up going back to the hotel and ate dinner in the room and talked. After dinner we got ready to go have drinks with Jane. "Bella I missed you so much. I don't think I will make it the rest of the time here without you." I rolled my eyes, "Stop being a drama queen, you nancy-boy. Now go get your arse in gear you wanker or Jane will leave with out us." He kissed my nose, "I'm calling Jasper and Alice and telling them to quit teaching you this stuff, it just sounds foolish coming out of you." I narrowed my eyes and left him to get dress. Although he did have a point I did sound foolish one because I wasn't using it right and two because I didn't have their British accent.

All three of us ended up getting drunker than I ever thought was possible. The next morning I had a hangover like no other but Edward was fine, he must have had plenty of practice. "I feel like shit! Not to mention I don't remember anything that happened." He handed me a glass of water, "That's too bad cause I used some of my best moves last night." I flipped him off as I chugged the water. "Ok I have some things to do but I will be back in two hours and the rest of the day is yours." He kissed me and then left.

When he got back he grabbed his bathing suit and told me to change and I did. We packed a bag with extra clothes and towels. Edward also grabbed us lunch to go from the restaurant in the hotel. He wouldn't tell me where we were going until we got to the docks. "Edward I am not getting on a boat with you unless you tell me where we are going." He tried to pull me on but I wouldn't budge. He picked me up and threw me over his shoulder and placed me down on the bench, "We are going to Fernando de Noronha. It's a secluded beach."

I sat in silence the whole boat ride there praying I wouldn't get seas sick. When we got there he dropped the anchor and we had to swim to the shore. "I guess it's a good thing I'm not afraid of the ocean anymore." He kissed my nose, "I guess I did a good job then." He jumped in with his water proof back pack on and then waited for me to jump in. We laid out on our towels and ate lunch while sun bathing. "So how did you plan all of this?" He smiled his devilish smile, "Well I found this island for the movie and the director is letting us use their boat which technically is my dad's." After lunch we went on a walk around the island and up a cliff were we sat and watched the waves roll in.

"Edward this place is beautiful." He cupped my face, "Not as beautiful you." I blushed. He turned me so I was facing him and pulled out a black velvet jewelry box. Neither of us spoke as he opened it. The only noise was the nature around us and the gasp I had at its sheer beauty. It was a white gold ring with a sapphire heart in the middle.

I looked into his eyes and he nodded as if he was answering my unspoken question. I wrapped my arms around his neck and poured all the passion I had into the kiss. "So is that a yes?" I couldn't speak so I just nodded as he slid the ring on to my finger.

We spent the better part of the day on the island but swam back to the boat before sunset. Once back to the main land he threw the bag at me, "Go inside the restaurant over there and change I'll meet you in the lobby." I bit my lip and almost skipped over to the restaurant because I was so happy. I slid on my royal blue sundress and the silver heart necklace I grabbed to where with it. It now made sense why Edward laughed at the clothes I picked out.

I stood there admiring the beautiful ring that would never come off my hand at least not if I had anything to say about it. I messed with my hair a little and gave up on it looking good and pulled into a ponytail. When I came out there was Edward waiting for me. I blushed a little as he smiled at me.

He was ignoring the girl who was shamelessly flirting with him. Edward was wearing faded black jeans and a white button down long sleeved shirt. He rolled the sleeves up to his elbows, but he was still wearing his mandals from earlier and it made me laugh. The relentless girl reached out and touched his arm and his eyes grew to the size of apples.

After seeing me laugh and not attempt to save him he pushed her away and came to me. He leaned his forehead down to mine, "You are evil." I nodded and noticed the girl still staring at him. I tangled my hands in his hair and pulled him down to kiss him. I licked his lips asking for entrance and he obliged. When we pulled away I sucked on his bottom lip earning a moan that she could definitely hear.

I could see the girls face in my peripheral vision and she clearly got the point. "Still mad at me?" He pulled my hair out of the ponytail holder, "Never mad." "Good cause she's gone." He glanced behind him and then tilted his head down towards me, "I bow down before the master." I giggled.

He grabbed my hand and we were guided to table outside on a small private porch. When we were seated he ordered us a bottle of wine I couldn't pronounce. Edward grabbed my left and admired his claim on me. "So… I guess Titanic was the inspiration?" He ran a nervous hand through his hair, "Since you have made me watch it a million times and you always say she is an idiot for throwing the necklace over board I thought you would appreciate it." I buried my face in my free arm on the table.

After my blush faded I looked him in the eyes, "Well I haven't watched it once since you have been gone. The only movies I watch now are ones with happy endings, so Titanic, The Notebook, and Old Yeller aren't watched anymore." He shook his head laughing at me.

We ate dinner and finished the bottle of wine. Edward paid and then dragged me out into the sand. I flipped my flip-flops off and enjoyed the feel of the sand in between my toes. We came up on a circle of candles and a stereo. It was then that I realized we were in front of our hotel. "I planned on asking you here but it was too perfect earlier. But will you please dance with me?" I dropped my shoes and nodded.

He reached over a pushed play on the stereo and out came one of my favorite songs of all time, River Flows in You by Yiruma. He pulled me close to him as we swayed to the music. I tried to think of anytime that I mentioned this song to him but couldn't. He surely didn't find it on my ipod because it wasn't on there. I closed my eyes and let the music take over me.

It wasn't until the end of the song that I noticed I had been crying. When Edward pulled me away from him he wiped away my tears, "What's wrong?" I took a staggered breath and pulled him down to me, "Absolutely nothing. If anything everything is too perfect." I grabbed his arm and tried to drag him towards the hotel but he was a gentle man and grabbed my shoes before he left the area.

When we made it up to our room I ripped his shirt off and unbuttoned his pants while he unzipped my dress, but we were interrupted by my cell phone going. "Just ignore it." He did as I said but we were bothered yet again when his cell went off. "Bella if we just answer maybe they will stop calling." I sighed and nodded.

He answered his phone, "Hello?... Yeah, she's right here… It's Ang." I pulled a sheet up to cover my almost naked body, "Ang this better be fucking important." "Bella, Jacob broke into your apartment. Honey it's trashed he took stuff. The weird thing is he didn't take anything of value. He took clothes and he cut Edward out of your pictures."

I wanted to cry or yell but I couldn't let shock take over, "Thanks for letting me know. I guess I will come back sooner than I planned. Bye Ang." I handed Edward his phone back and he sat next to me, "What happened?" I took a deep breath looked at him, "Nothing that can't wait until tomorrow… Now where were we?" I crawled towards him and he smiled at me as we picked off where we left off.

I put off the dilemma caused by Jacob for three more days just enjoying being with Edward, but unfortunately Ang was relentless. I eventually got tired of her calling and told Edward what happened. Needless to say he wasn't happy about it but he understood why I didn't say anything at the time.

"I guess this means you will be leaving before we planned." I sighed, "Probably, but I don't want to. This really sucks." Edward and I finished out the week we had planned before I left to deal with my real life.

Ang picked me up at the air port. I had yet to tell her about the engagement and I knew she would be really excited. I sat her down at the table in the break room. "Ang I have to tell you something but you can't tell anyone. You have to swear because we don't want it to be a big deal." She nodded and I held out my left hand and she squealed and covered her mouth. "I knew it. I just knew he was gonna ask you. I promise I won't tell anyone but what about your families?"

We really hadn't discussed that yet but I was ok with not telling too many people right away. I love Edward and I would shout it from the roof tops but it felt romantic to keep this a secret if only for a little while. After three cups of coffee and looking at all of my pictures we went to my apartment so I could figure out what exactly was taken.

I sorted through the mess with Ang. Thankfully nothing of major value was missing just some clothes, a few pieces of cheap jewelry and pictures. The worst part was the damage that was done. My dresser was broken, the closet mirror was shattered, there were huge holes in the walls and the window in my room was busted, not to mention the pictures he cut up. "I just don't get why he took what he did. Is he a cross dresser now or something?" I laughed and tried to think of why he would take my clothes.

After writing up a list of stuff for insurance purposes I called my landlord. She had already heard about the incident and was just waiting for my call. She told me the window would be replaced by the end of the week. I locked up the apartment and went to stay at Edward's. His place had a security guard in the lobby and an alarm system. After arguing for three days I agreed to stay there to set his mind at ease.

I smiled at Gordon, the guard, as I walked to the elevator and turned my key to access the apartment. I took my shower and settled into the bed that made me relax because it smelt like Edward when my phone rang, "Hey sexy." I could hear him laughing on the other end, "Gordon didn't give you a hard time I presume?" I cuddled up with his pillow, "Actually he just tucked me in and kissed me goodnight and everything." "Not funny." He yawned. "You should sleep. If you look like shit they will call you unprofessional." "I know, well if you need ANYTHING call me. I can be on the next plane out of here. I love you." "I love you more, goodnight."

I hung up because he never would. Before I even had my head on the pillow it was ringing again, "Edward just close your eyes and fall asleep!" "I can't sleep without you in my apartment Bella." I nearly dropped the phone when I heard Jacob on the other end. "What the hell do you want?" "You." "Go fuck yourself. First you show up looking for me, and then you break in to my apartment and steel stuff, now you're calling me. Just go away." "Fine I'll go away for tonight anyway. Your boyfriend has a nice little apartment. It will harder to get into but I assure that I will, even with the security guard. Goodnight my darling."

The whole conversation made my skin crawl and I felt like I was going to be sick. I should've called Edward but I knew what he would do. He would blow off his job and be back here as soon as possible causing a fight with his dad. I loved him but Jacob is my problem not his. I tried to sleep but wasn't successful.

The next morning Edward called just to check in on me, he really worried about me now. I asked him then about me moving in his apartment permanently and he thought it was a great idea since it was safer then my place and would save me money. I also asked about possibly getting a dog. I remember that Jacob is terrified of dogs which worked out good because Edward loved them. He said to go ahead and pick one out. So I called up Ang and we started our dog hunt.

We picked out a 6 month old chow, Ang named it Chowder and I thought it was cute but refused to call him that so I went with Moose, my favorite character from Top Gun. When I told Edward about him he laughed, "Instead of arguing with Ang we settled on a full name for the dog so we have Moose Chowder Cullen." "Bella that is an awful name for a dog." "I know but it shut Ang up so what can I say. Ok I'm tired so talk to you tomorrow. Love you." "Love you too." I cuddled up in the bed with Moose at my feet and I felt much better with him here and I actually slept the whole night.

The next morning I walked Moose and talked to Edward he laughed as I told him that Moose was already able to drag me. We talked until Jane yelled for him to get moving. It was for the better that he had to leave because I really had to work. I had to get three paintings shipped off and I decided I would change the website today. It would help keep my mind off of Jacob.

Jasper showed up with Alice around six and took me out for dinner. I assumed Edward called him and said I needed a babysitter. We talked about his music and about what Alice bought at the flee market while I was gone. Then I had to tell Alice all about how Edward proposed, "So he didn't even have to say anything you just knew?" I nodded, "That is so romantic! Jasper why aren't you like that?" He just rolled his eyes at her.

"Ok so we have talked about nearly everything so why not tell me why Edward feels that I need a babysitter." Jasper looked at Alice who was staring at her now empty plate. "He doesn't think you need a babysitter but he does feel better knowing that you're not alone. After the break-in he just worries. He was talking about trying to get back sooner if his dad would agree to let Jane have some more responsibility. He plans to be back by the end of the month but he will have to leave again for Los Angeles later."

I threw my fork down on the table, "Jasper this is ridiculous! The day we met I was the one who kicked some guy's ass not him and now here he is acting like I can't take care of myself. I gave into moving in and staying at his place alone but coming home early is completely over kill." After dinner Jasper took me home but wouldn't let me go in alone and for once I was thankful.

I could hardly breathe when I saw the damage that had been done to the apartment. There was spray paint all over the walls and everything was broken including Edward's guitar. It was then that I freaked out about Moose. I started to hyperventilate. "Moose!" Jasper tried to calm me down but I was too far gone. My phone rang and brought me out of my trance. It was Edward.

When I didn't answer he called Jasper who answered. "Hey Edward, no she's with me… I don't think she wants to talk to you right now…" My phone rang again and it clearly wasn't Edward so I answered it. "Do you like my improvements to your new apartment?" "Where the FUCK is my dog?!" He laughed and I wanted to kill him with anything I could get my hands on, "Go look in your downstairs bathroom." I dropped the phone and ran to the bathroom and there locked in the shower was Moose.

He jumped into my arms and Jasper came in still on the phone with Edward. I stuck my hand out and he gave it to me. "Edward." He sighed in relief, "I was worried something happened to you." I sobbed, "Well it could have. Look I can't explain right now but I'm going to go stay with my parents in North Carolina. It's for the best. I'll call you when I get there." "Be careful." I handed the phone back to Jasper and grabbed a few things before I headed to my car.

I arrived at my parents around 5 a.m. I called and told them I just needed to get away. It was a hell of a drive and I felt exhausted. Dad took Moose and put him in the laundry room and I went to bed.

It was after 2 p.m. when someone decided I needed to wake up. They jumped on my bed and I fell to the floor. I curled into a ball on the floor when two very strong and familiar arms wrapped around me. "I should have been there for you." I wrapped my arms and legs around him never wanting to let go. "I'm sorry about your apartment and your guitar." He kissed the top of my head. "You have nothing to be sorry for it's not your fault. By the way Moose really seems to like me. Do you want to go get some breakfast or I guess it would be lunch?" I shook my head, "No, just hold me for awhile."

My dad came in a half hour later, "You two better not be doing what I think you are doing." I rolled my eyes at him as he came in and sat at the foot of my bed, "So why don't you tell your mom and me the reason for this visit, not that we don't enjoy having you here."

I decided to tell them everything, so we all gathered downstairs in the living room. I started from when I first met Jacob, then about the engagement, him getting arrested and I ended it with the recent stalkerish developments. Dad was mad and mom was worried Edward held me close to him the whole time I talked and Moose sat at my feet. Nobody really said anything for two hours until my cell phone rang. The screen flashed Jacob and I looked at Edward almost asking 'what should I do?' He took the phone from me and pulled the battery out. "You're getting a new number tomorrow." I just nodded.
