When the plane landed on LAX, I was almost like a zombie. I was never so tired. I stayed late in the hospital yesterday, when I came home I stayed in the phone with Edward, then in the morning mom was leaving so we all went out to have a brunch, when I came home, I had to do some things, for Charlie, like cleaning and cooking, and by the time I was finished I had to get changed and close my bags to go home. Jake would pick me and Alice up at the airport, and Emmett would take a cab after I was with Jake. Good thing, because there was a billion paparazzi, and people. I had my iPod earphones on, sunglasses, hoodie, and looking down, as Emmett tried to open a path. Suddenly I had to stop, or I would hit a camera, and someone behind me, pushed me. I fell to the floor, twisting my wrist, and of course the paparazzi just kept taking pictures. Alice got the bags I dropped, and Emmett seemed ready to kill someone. I tugged on his arm, and we continued. Thankfully, an airport guard helped us, so once I was inside the car safely, Emmett joined us in the backseat with Alice.

"We're getting you a bodyguard tomorrow" Emmett said, "This is inacceptable"

"Emmett" I groaned.

"No. I won't risk that again. If Alice and I weren't there, they would have stomped on you to get a better picture. And the fans are getting out of control. This is out of control. You need a bodyguard"

Jake patted my knee and gave me a weak smile.

"Welcome home" he said.

"Thanks" I grumbled.


My problems didn't stop with the situation in the airport. When we got home, we finally found out why they were so aggressive today.

"Holy shit" Emm said, "Quil, E!News now!"

Quil changed the TV channel and there I was.

"New superstar, Bella Swan, arrived at LAX an hour ago, coming from Seattle. She spent the Christmas and New Year with her family, friends, and her boyfriend, Jacob Black. She was seen going to his house on Christmas, and walking around with him and his family. Apparently, the relationship is that serious. Rumors about a proposal during the holydays, but nothing was confirmed"

"Oh, shit" Jake mumbled.

"Shhh" Alice shushed him.

"Bella didn't say a word to the paparazzi and reporters as always, not even when addressed about her affair with her co-star Edward Cullen. They were seen together, in a pretty cozy scene, while visiting the pediatric wing of Forks Hospital"

A photo appeared of me holding Madison, and talking to Edward, both with smiles, and leaning to each other.

"Fuck" Emmett growled.

"Though we didn't caught it, there were witnesses of a heated kiss. Isn't the scene cute? Would Edward be planning on a future family with Bella?"

They zoomed the image of Edward kissing Madison's cheek. Quil changed to Sports Center after she was done talking about me.

"Bella?" Emm said through gritted teeth.

"Look, it's not that bad" I said. "They could have caught the kiss!"

"So there was a kiss!" Emmett said rubbing his eyes with his knuckles. "How many times will we have to say for you two not get closer than three feet away, in public places"

"We're always in public places" I said rolling my eyes. "It's not like it would be easy to find a private place"

"Bella, I'm trying to help you. I know you don't like the fact that me and Jasper are trying to keep you apart, but it's good for you. If this come out… If this get worse, you won't have a private life at all! It will be paparazzi on your door, checking every step you give closer to Edward, every single gesture around him, and millions of girls trying to kill you! So, I'm trying to protect you from it as much as I can, but you two aren't helping!"

"I… I'm sorry, Emm. I know you mean the best, it's just… pisses me off"

"Me too. Today at the airport, it was just because of that photo. Imagine if they had caught you kissing?"

"I understand" I said. "I'm going to sleep. It was a long, tiring day"

"Okay. Tomorrow, photoshoot at ten" Alice said. "I'll wake you up. I'm staying here tonight"

I nodded and went to sleep. The next couple days passed in a blur. Photoshoot, interview, dodging invasive questions, paparazzi, and getting ready to go back to shooting. Emmett searched for a bodyguard while I worked, so I didn't see him much, and Jake, or Embry would walk around me, trying to prevent another accident with paparazzi like the airport. And of course that made everything worse for Jake, who was constantly asked about my betrayal, my affair with Edward, and such. Maddening. Edward wasn't happy at all about this. And when he heard about the airport accident, he was pissed. I hadn't told him, and asked Alice not to. But apparently, the gossip websites reported it, and Jasper saw. It really pissed him off, to a point that he and Jasper were walking in the street, in NY, trying to dodge paparazzi, and a paparazzi asked about me, and the paparazzi swear that Edward looked about to hit him, and Jasper pulled him away. Edward admit it to me, he almost hit the paparazzi, he was furious about what they did to me. To him, one thing was do their job, take pictures. Another was to push me. He was protective, and I tried to tease him about it, but he was too mad to think it was funny. When they day to go back to Vancouver came, Emmett, Alice and I were ready to leave with a new company. Demetri, my bodyguard. I was still pissed with the situation, I didn't need a bodyguard. But Demetri was cool, and soon I was used to him.


"Hey" Edward said entering my room quickly and closing the door, but not before checking no one saw him.

"Hi!" I said happily.

He smiled and walked to me, wrapping his arms around me, and kissing the hell out of me. I smiled as he pulled back. He rested his forehead against mine, staring into my eyes.

"I missed you, so much. Too much" he whispered.

"Me too" I said.

He kissed me again, more softly and when he pulled back he smiled and peppered my face with kisses.

"I was waiting for a more appropriate time to say this but… I can't hold it any longer" he said and kissed my lips softly again. "I love you" he whispered.

I stared into his eyes, bright green, they danced in happiness, and I grinned at him. He couldn't make me happier.

"I love you too" I whispered.

He kissed me again, urgent, desperate and his hands trailed down from my waist, to my hips…

"Edward" I warned in a sigh.

"Hm?" he hummed against the skin of my neck.

"We aren't alone" I whispered.

His head snapped up, his brows furrowed in confusion and I chuckled.

"Hello" Demetri said from the couch. He was laying there, lazily, watching TV. Edward stared at him, confused, and tense. "I'm Demetri, the body guard" Demetri said with his British accent and a smile. He got up and walked to us, extending his hand.

"Edward" Edward said curtly while shaking his hand. His other hand squeezing my hip.

"I can go. Sorry" Demetri smiled.

He got out of the room and Edward frowned at me.

"Why was he here?" he asked.

"Well, after the accident at the airport, Emmett decided to hire…"

"Not… Why was he here in your room?"

"Oh, we were watching TV"

"Hm"

"Are you… Why?" I asked amused.

"My bodyguards stay outside the room and don't cock-block me" he said.

I giggled and he smiled. He kissed me again and walked us to the couch, where he pushed me down onto it and laid on top of me.

"What are you doing?" I asked shakily as he kissed my neck and collarbone.

"Making up for the time apart" he whispered against my skin.

"In the couch?" I asked, "There's a bed right there…"

He pulled back and smirked at me.

"You and your dirty mind" I blushed, "I was going to say we could watch a movie"

I blushed even more and reached for the remote. "We can see if there's a movie. There was nothing…"

"Oh, no" he said getting up and surprising me by picking me up, bridal style. "Now you gave me ideas, woman"

"What?" I smiled

He walked to the bed and dropped me in the middle of it.

"I'll show you" he smirked.

I giggled, but was stopped by his lips.


"That's it, guys! It's finished!" the director announced happily.

People cheered, whistled and clapped. I sighed and smiled at Edward.

"I'll miss working with you" I said.

"Me too. But hopefully there will be a sequel" he said smiling at me.

"Bella!" Alice called, she walked to me, grabbed me by the wrist and started dragging me away. "We have to get you ready for the wrap-up party!"

I smiled at Edward and mouthed 'See you'. He mouthed 'Love you' back. Alice put me into a Versace studded short dress, that was black with gold, Louboutins Daffodil gold, that matched the dress, and a black cropped leather jacket, with details in gold. I thought it was too much, but she said it was perfect, and I should let her – the expert – worry. She pulled my hair in a ponytail, put some golden eye shadow, black eyeliner, and gave me a Chanel Vintage leather and gold bracelet.

"Let's go!" she said all excited.

I rolled my eyes and we went to the hotel's lobby. Emmett and Demetri were waiting there, and got a car waiting. As soon as I set a foot outside the building, cameras flashed, people screamed, and tried to push past the guards. I waved awkwardly, smiled weakly, and Demetri urged me forward to the car. Once inside, we had some peace.

"I didn't know the press would know about the party" I said.

"Someone from the productions used twitter to announce the shooting was finished, and the press guessed we would have a party tonight, since both stars have events tomorrow in LA"

"Edward and I have events in LA? Tomorrow?" I asked frowning.

"Sweetie, Golden Globe" Alice said. "Please, tell me you haven't forgotten! I'm telling you to be prepared for questions since you'll be presenting an award"

"No… I remember now! I just… Was a little lost in timeline" I mumbled. "Sorry, what award?"

"You'll be presenting best comedy or musical movie" she said, "You and Edward"

"Right. Okay, so we have to be early in LA" I grumbled.

"Yes. We have to get you ready and you'll have to be in the red carpet at nine"

"Okay"

"We have a flight tomorrow morning. Eleven o'clock" Emmett informed.

"Thanks" I mumbled.

The car stopped as close as possible to the bar the crew and cast chose to celebrate, but I would have to walk a block, the press was all over the place.

"Don't stop walking, Bells. They are crazy" Emmett said and got out.

Demetri opened the door for me, and he and Emmett flanked me as we walked to the bar fast.

"Bella! Isabella! How do you feel about the end of the shooting?"

"Happy, relieved, tired" I said smiling, keeping my eyes straight ahead.

"Are you excited to be presenting the award tomorrow?"

"Yes"

"How do you feel now that you won't be working with Edward anymore?" one of them asked.

"Enough. No comments" Emmett said as we were reaching the bar.

We got in and I felt relieved when I saw guards at the door. The rest of the evening passed pleasantly, Edward stayed close to me as much as he could, though we were careful not to be too close, and let people see we were together as a couple. He constantly would tell me how beautiful I looked and he couldn't wait to see how I would be dressed tomorrow at the Golden Globe. When it got late I decided to head back to the hotel. Edward said he was going too, because he had an early flight. We got out of the bar together, though went to different paths to our cars. People screamed louder now that Edward was present, and I couldn't help but roll my eyes at the screaming, crying girls. Okay, he was handsome, charming, cool… But cry? Really? We got back to the hotel and to my surprise I had someone waiting at my room. Edward lay lazily across my bed, his head propped in the pillows and a drinking champagne directly from the bottle. I walked to him taking off me jacket and shoes and leaving them on the floor, and took the bottle from him and plopped down on the bed beside him.

"What a nice surprise" I said taking a gulp from the bottle.

"Did you like it?" he smirked. "Loved it" I smiled.

"I thought it would be cool to wait for you naked, but I didn't know if Alice, or Demetri would walk in with you…"

I laughed and climbed on top of him and kissed him.

"Hm, definitely would have been a lovely surprise" I whispered against his lips.

"Well, we can have it now" he said rolling us over so he was on top. "But this time, you get naked on the bed"

I laughed and he played with my dress' zipper.

"Is this your attempt to seduce me, Mr. Cullen?" I asked amused as he opened my dress.

"Is it working?"

"Well, it's amusing me, definitely. Seducing? Not so much"

"How can I seduce you?" he asked huskily nibbling on my earlobe.

"You don't have to try, Mr. Cullen. I'm seduced a hundred percent, all the time"

He hummed and kissed me.

"I love you" he whispered.

"Love you" I whispered.


I woke up when I heard someone come in the room. I looked around to find Alice with an amused smirk as she leaned against the doorframe.

"Good morning, I guess you had fun last night?" she asked mischievously.

I blushed and sat up, pulling the sheets closer to my naked body. She started picking up my clothes that were scattered around the room and stopped eyeing the boxers in the foot of the bed.

"I'm so not touching my brother's underwear" she grumbled. "You can pick that" she said.

I laughed and grabbed it, arching an eyebrow. "He went commando?" I asked mostly to myself.

"Apparently" she shrugged.

I sighed and leaned back against the pillows. I found a note on the pillow beside me and I took it. It had Edward's perfect calligraphy. Sorry, I had to leave to catch my flight. I'll miss you. See you tonight. Love you, Edward.

"I feel… cheap. He left, leaving just a note" I said amused.

"If you two married he wouldn't have to sneak out, or catch a different flight" she smirked.

I rolled my eyes and got up.

"Hurry up! We don't have much time!" she said as I went to the bathroom.

After hours sleeping in a plane while Alice did my nails, and checked if she had everything to get me ready once we landed, I was finally in LA, and again we needed the help of the airport security to get out. We ran to home, and as soon we passed through the door, Alice was barking orders at me. Alice did my hair, she braided and it a bun, with a few strands loose. Make up she did really light, and then almost suffocated me with so much perfume she put on me. She gave a closed dress bag to Emmett, saying it was the dress for the after party and to be careful. I waited while she quickly put her short hair in lose curls, and applied some make-up. She was finished with herself in twenty minutes while she spent hours on me. And still she looked prettier than me. She put on a Carolina Herrera dark brown taffeta strapless gown. She went to my closet and pulled a huge dress bag. I sighed and stood up. She grinned, bounced, and opened the bag. Inside there was a beautiful Chantilly gown with metallic details.

"Did you like it?" she asked.

"It's beautiful, Alice" I said.

"It's a Monique Lhuillier strapless tulle Chantilly lace gown. I bought it her fashion show, and no one else will ever have one like this!" she said excitedly.

"It's perfect"

She helped me into it, and then into Yves Saint Laurent white pumps.

"Oh, Edward will drool!" she squealed as we looked in the mirror.

I rolled my eyes and she ran to her bag and opened bringing a gift box. She brought to me and I arched an eyebrow.

"It's from Edward. He asked me to give to you, for you to wear tonight" she said grinning. "I'm sorry, I peeked. It's awesome!"

I rolled my eyes at her enthusiasm, and opened the box. Inside there was a big velvet box, and it made me hesitant. I opened to reveal a bracelet and necklace, of white gold.

"Oh. My. God" I said touching the jewelry softly. "Is this real diamonds?" I asked.

"Yesss!" she squealed.

I stared at the necklace and bracelet, it was a lot of diamonds and white gold.

"How much it cost?" I asked fearful.

"It's a gift. Gifts don't have price. And Edward wanted to expend more"

"Well, you know that I'll find out how much it was, once people take pictures of me with it. So, I prefer hearing from you"

"Ahn… Edward told me not to" she said.

"Alice"

"Fine! But you can't tell him I told you!"

"Alright" I said.

"I think he must have spent… 60 thousand"

"Please tell me you mean cents" I squeaked.

"No, dollars" she grinned.

"Holy Shit!" I gasped.

"Come on put it on, we have to go!"

She helped me put the necklace, and I put the bracelet. Once we were ready we went downstairs and met Emmett, Demetri in tuxes, and Jacob in normal clothes. Jacob let out a loud wolf whistle, and I blushed.

"Thank you" I mumbled.

"You're stunning" Demetri said and gave me his arm.

"Let's go" Emmett said.

We went to the car, and I was bouncing in my seat while playing with the bracelet.

"Shit, Bella" Emmett said from beside me eyeing the bracelet. "Where did you get it?"

"Ahn, it was a gift" I said smiling.

"Rose asked for a gift like that" he grumbled. "I told her she must have been insane"

I laughed and Alice talked excitedly about all the stars that would be present. I thought it was funny she didn't consider her brother a star, when he was the most expected to the event. The car slowed down and stopped close to the red carpet. I took deep breaths and Demetri got out, extending his hand to me. I took it and got out. People started calling my name and snapping pictures, and I smiled and tried to keep calm. I walked down the carpet, taking pictures and talking to a few people. I was posing for photos when I felt someone come to stand beside me, and put an arm around my waist. I looked up to see Edward smiling at me. I smiled back but then narrowed my eyes.

"What the hell were you thinking buying me such expensive gifts?" I asked in a whisper.

"I wanted to spoil my girlfriend, can't I?" he whispered in my ear.

"Not so much! Edward, it's too much!" I said.

"It's not" I glared at him and he sighed, "I won't give you Valentine's Day gift, fine?"

"Yes" I smiled.

"You look beautiful" he whispered in my ear.

I blushed of course, and pushed him away playfully.

"Stop making me blush!" I whispered.

"It's lovely, I can't help it" he laughed.

I rolled my eyes and smiled at the photographers. I heard Emmett clearing his throat behind us, and when I looked at him, he pretended to be checking his phone, though I could feel his eyes on us.

"I think that's the sign to get away from each other" I said to Edward.

"Fine" he said almost pouting. He grinned at me and leaned closer to whisper in my ear again. "You're not making easy for me to keep my hands to myself. You're dangerously gorgeous"

I blushed, he chuckled and walked away, leaving me glaring at the back of his head. I turned back to the photographers and then went to give some interviews. After an hour standing on the red carpet, taking pictures, giving interviews I was so tired, all I wanted was to sleep. I walked to the only reporter I hadn't give an interview yet and smiled politely.

"Bella! Hi! How are you?" the reporter asked.

"Good, thanks. You?"

"Better now" he smiled at me. "You look absolutely stunning!"

"Thanks" I said blushing.

"Please" he took my hand and made me spin around. "Gucci?" he guessed.

"No. Monique Lhuillier, YSL shoes"

"Perfect!" he complimented. "So, tell me, what brought this new look? We have known you for the casual girl, impressing us with your Rock Chic style. Tonight though you look rather… conservative"

"Well, I am eclectic, I can change styles easily. And for tonight I thought this one was more appropriate"

"Any meaning behind it?"

"Sorry?" I said not understanding the question. I saw Alice frown confusedly, clearly not getting the question either.

"Well, recently there's been rumors of an engagement, with Jacob and an affair with Edward" I tensed and looked at Emmett, but he was on the phone and wouldn't save me. "Would this white dress, symbolize perhaps an upcoming wedding?"

"I'm not engagement as I said before, and I have no plans to be in the near future. Jacob is just a good friend" I said.

"So, you're dating Edward?" he smirked.

"No. Edward and I are friends too" I said in a clipped tone.

"How do you feel about the pressure the media is putting on you two, especially about those rumors of a relationship?"

"I think it can be very distressing, bothering, and annoying. I'm learning to deal with it, though some days seem harder than others" I said, "I think it won't last long. Soon people will find people more interesting than me, and the focus will be taken off from me"

"I doubt it, you're such a fascinating woman" he said, "You say Edward and Jacob are friends, is there a boyfriend hidden?"

"No" I laughed, "I haven't got the time to such things. Between shooting, promoting, and the band, I barely have time for myself"

"And the band? Some say you're over, some say it's just a vacation…"

"It's just a vacation. We're planning a tour next month, and I don't know for sure, but it can be the final tour. The guys want to settle with their girlfriends, have families… And with my new acting career…"

"Do you consider following a career solo? After the band split?"

"I don't know. I never really thought about it. It would be nice, but I just want to relax and have some time for myself right now"

"Bella" Emmett called.

"Thank you, Bella" the reporter said.

"Thanks" I mumbled and walked away. "Emmett" I hissed at him. "What the hell! You should have gone to my rescue there!"

"Sorry, I was on the phone with my assistant" he shrugged, "That bad?" he frowned.

"The reporter asked me about my wedding, Jacob, Edward, boyfriends that aren't those two, the band splitting, career solo… I hope I didn't fuck up" I said.

"It will be fine. Come on, the ceremony is about to start"


AN: Yey! I didn't take so long to update as I thought! Demetri is in the story! I love him! :D And the happy couple of the story declared their feelings! Will they declare it to the media? Or they will be Robsten and keep denying? Not even I know, I don't know what to do next.

I hope you're enjoying.
