So i have had to re write this chapter from memory, i was probly about 2 chapters ahead but now i have to do everything again!

I'm sure this isn't as good as what it was going to be and i have changed it a little but i didn't want to hold out on you guys any longer because the reviews i got for the last chapter were immense so thank you.

Here you go

Bella POV

I lay there; eyes still closed basking in the glory of the morning after fan fucking tastic sex with the biggest smile playing lazily across my lips….
Okay scratch that, well not all of it. I was laying there after fantastic sex but I was absolutely terrified that I would open my eyes and see that it wasn't true, or that he was gone or that he would tell me it was a mistake.

I felt soft fingers ghosting over my skin gently but kept my own closed and feigned sleep to see what he would do next. I felt the bed shift and then his fingers were back stroking over my stomach and circled round my belly button before moving back up towards my breasts, he delicate fingers moved over my nipples and I let out a soft moan which I quickly tried to cover up as a sleepy mumble.

"Bella you are an awful actress" I heard him say next to me.

Damn busted!

"I'm sleeping" I half smiled keeping my eyes closed.

"Liar" he muttered before kissing my arm.

"Your right I cant lie to save my life" I said fluttering my eyes open to see him laying on his side, head leaning on his palm looking directly at me with excitement in his eyes, and just like that those damn butterflies or knots or whatever the hell they were came back in my stomach with a vengeance. I turned to face him lying on my side and took in his room in this light, it was almost the mirror image of mine, we had somehow managed to crawl up to the head of the bed and under the covers in the night, but said covers were now riding dangerously low on Edwards hips.

"Morning" I whispered.

"Jesus Bella I didn't know it was this bad" He said touching my bruised ribs gently, the sensation gave me a numbing throb and a scrunched my eyes up slightly "How are you feeling now?"

"Its alright, its just pretty tender to be honest, that's what my utter lack of co ordination does to me" I said trying to smile, god I'm sure he could tell my smile way fake, hell even I wouldn't believe it for a second.

"Mhmm" he said not taking his eyes off my purplish bruise, yeah he didn't sound convinced at all.

"I'm surprised I didn't hurt it more last night" I added trying to lighten the mood.

"it was a hell of a night huh" he smiled.

"Could say that" I said ducking my face into my hands to hide my blush.

"Please don't do that, I love that colour on you" he said moving my hands away.

"I'm sorry, I was just…"I started.

"Bella?" he asked pouting.

"I just…I…" I started sitting up "I just want you to know I don't regret last night, but I don't want things to be awkward with us. Are they going to be?" I asked my brow creasing in worry.

"I'm not sorry last night happened at all, I don't regret it for a second, things aren't going to be awkward. They aren't now are they?" he asked as I shook my head "I still want to travel with you, lord knows where our next stop is, but I'm excited about it so lets just see what happens okay? He said lifting his hand to stroke my arm, I looked at him and nodded softly smiling "But I am sorry I said I wished I never picked you up…and called you a bitch" he added biting his lip.

"A bi polar bitch I believe" I corrected him shaking my head laughing.

"Oh I do apologize" he said laughing "I really am sorry though, I didn't mean it at all".

"I know you didn't, you were caught up in the moment" I shrugged.

"You don't care? Really?" I said again, confusion etched on his perfect face.

"No, honey I've had worse said to me trust me. Why should I care about that when I know you didn't even mean it"

"Sorry, just not used to that" he mumbled. I looked at him expectantly willing him to continue "Ka…My Ex kinda got touchy about everything I would say sometimes, even if it was just teasing she would get moody and upset about what I said, after a while I stopped being so sarcastic and even joking with her" he said quietly, picking at the bed covers. He was finally sharing stuff with me thank god, not exactly sure what I can take from that little speech but what I can take is that his ex was a boring bitch.

"I'll listen if you want to tell me" I said giving him a half smile. He smiled slightly but shook his head.

"Some other time maybe" he said offering a pained smile.

"That's fine, but just so you know I'm kinda intuitive sometimes when it comes to sarcasm and joking, hell I do it enough, I know when you're joking and trust me I give as good as I get" I said winking before jumping out the bed. Yeah think about that a while boy.

"Hey where you going" He muttered.

"To get changed into something of yours, go take a shower and go back to my room before I'm sure your sister attacks us" I said walking back over to him to place a gently kiss on his lips.

"Guess your right, but cant we just stay here until she does?" he asked grabbing me a little gentler now he knew I was damaged.

Huh damaged…

"I suppose I can stay for a little longer" I sighed overdramatically before crawling back under the covers and into his arms.

"Just so you know, I don't do this type of thing like ever" I said trying to explain myself to him for some reason "I mean meet a guy and sleep with him within 48 hours of knowing him"

"I don't either, this just feels different" he sighed into my hair.

"Oh good it's not just me then" I giggled as I felt him smile in my hair.

We must have lay there together in perfect silence kissing and touching for what felt like a lifetime, I'm sure it wasn't that long actually but in our little world it was forever. I couldn't stop thinking about how so fucking much had happened in the last two…three days and how I wouldn't have wanted it any other way. This is how I wanted thing to be, just me and my guy together and happy, not bitching about me for cheating and not trusting me. Since Jake that guy had become faceless, but with each passing moment he was starting to resemble Edward more and more which scared the hell out of me.

I wasn't second guessing myself here, I knew things were going to be way different, no matter what he said and what I wanted, but looking at him I just hoped it wasn't going to be that bad because giving this up now would hurt me more than anything.

My phone began playing Faith no more loudly from my bag somewhere on the floor and I groaned out loud knowing it was my mother.

"I'm not answering that" I mumbled as it stopped, only for it to start up again two minutes later.

"God does she's not give up" I sighed grabbing my hair before sitting up.

"Your mom?" Edward asked stroking my back.

"The devil herself" I said sarcastically.

"Want me to speak to her, I'm sure it would be a shock to the system" he smirked, as my phone stopped.

"As much as I would love that it would just open up an even bigger can of worms" I mumbled and then it fucking started again, Jesus fucking Christ!

"I should take it, she's not gonna leave me alone if I don't" I muttered getting off the bed to retrieve my phone.

"I have to say I'm loving the view" he smirked as he watched me wander round the room naked trying to find my phone.

"Bite me" I said sarcastically as I finally found my bag.

"Already have love and I must say you have a lovely mark on your thigh" he winked "You want me to leave?" he added softly as I crawled back into bed, normally I would tell him yes, that I had to deal with her on my own but for some reason I felt like I needed him there.

"I wish you wouldn't" I sighed as he kissed my shoulder. Just then my phone rang for what was the fifth…sixth time? I lost count. Taking a deep breath I answered.

"Hello" I said as confidently as I could.

"Bella! Thank god, where are you? I've spoken to your father and he is sick with worry too" Oh god could she be anymore fake.

"Mom we've had this conversation…yesterday to be exact, to which I replied that I spoke to dad and he was fine and I have already told you I'm In Vegas" I sighed pinching the bridge of my nose.

"Well stay there me and Phil are going to come and get you" she gushed.

"The hell you are!" I almost shouted, the anger evident in my voice.

"Bella stop this now, just stop it, you're getting pathetic really and I'm sick of all these lies" I heard her huff.

I sat shocked into silence, Edward rubbing my back softly and all I could think was my own mother called me pathetic. I was too numb to say anything; Edward looked up at me with worry in his eyes silently asking me if everything was ok. I took my phone away from my ear and held it out in between me and Edward, my mouth opening and closing like a stupid fucking goldfish, still unable to process any reaction, I tilted my head up to try and stop the few tears that were desperate to escape. Without saying a word Edward took the phone off me and held it to his own ear.

"This is Edward Cullen who is this?" he asked formally, with an edge to his voice.

"Well I am a very good friend of Bella's" he said still in the same clipped tone and just like that it was like a light was flipped in my head and I suddenly realized that Edward was talking to my bitch of a mother.

"Yes well Bella is not available right now" he added stiffly.

"I'm afraid that wont be possible, she is on a road trip with me and my family right now, we are making our way to Chicago and from there I'm sure Bella will be going to her father" I was going crazy just hearing the one side of the conversation, I was desperate to hear all the snide comments my mother was saying.

"I'm afraid that is none of your business at all…."yeah there is was "Yes well Bella is a grown woman and if she doesn't want to come home I don't think you can force her" he added.

"Yes well I'm sure if my mother had just insulted me I wouldn't want to talk to her either, now if you will excuse me we are going to get some breakfast. I'm sure Bella will call you when she is ready, until then I suggest you don't try to contact her, goodbye" he said sharply before ending the call.

"I'm sorry but your mother is a grade A Bitch" he said exhaling deeply.

"preaching to the choir" I said trying to lighten the mood even though my eyes were swimming with tears "God this is annoying, I never cry" I said fanning my eyes with my hands to try and clear the tears.

"What did she say?" he asked rubbing my hand supportively.

"She called me pathetic" I mumbled, I swear I heard him growl and when I looked back at him his jaw was locked tightly.

"I should have said worse than I did to her" he said quietly.

"Not worth it, She used to be my best friend, but Y'know what happens with best friends, they get boyfriends and forget about those around them" He looked at me knowingly and I suddenly felt very vulnerable, like I had told him my biggest secret without actually saying anything and all he did was kiss my forehead and suggest he treat me to breakfast. It was something so simple but it was exactly what I needed.

*******************************

"I'll meet you back here in half hour okay? He said kissing me softly as I stood at his door dressed in one of his shirts and a pair or his boxers. I nodded slowly before walking across the corridor and into my room, as I walked into my room and let the door close with a soft click, I let out the sigh I had been keeping in and wondered how the hell I could go from such a high to a low in the space of about a minute, funnily enough though my mother had that effect. Taking my cell out of my bag I sat on the edge of the bed and hit the call button.

"Dad" I smiled as I heard his voice.

"Bella? Is everything okay? Are you alright? Nothing has happened has it" he rushed; I could hear the panic in his voice.

"No I'm fine I just needed to hear your voice a little bit" I muttered.

"What's wrong?" God why did he have to know everything.

"Mom called again" I started but I could hear him sigh down the phone.

"What happened this time?" he asked.

"She called me pathetic" I mumbled quietly as I felt the tears coming again.

"She what? God love your mother Bella but she is one stupid woman" he shouted sharply. Okay so he was pissed.

"Dad please don't do anything just don't please" I stuttered out "Please don't call her and start shouting"

"Its all because of that Phil isn't it" he shouted.

"Not arguing with you there" I said rolling my eyes.

"Bells did he do something to you, did he hurt you or something? You know you can tell me right" his voice sounded on edge…on the edge of him turning from Charlie to Chief Swan.

"What does it matter, mom's with him and as much as she hurt me she's my mom" I sighed.

"Bella whenever your ready to talk you know I'll be here listening don't you?" I could hear him sigh.

"Yes dad I know that, and thank you really. I just have to deal with some stuff" I muttered.

"Well when you making your way up here?" he asked, I noticed the slight hint of excitement in his voice.

"I'm not sure yet dad" I admitted "I'm still in Vegas now and I think I might be staying here for a few days, then ill probably start working my way towards Washington"

"Who are these people you're with? How do you know them?" he enquired.

Now here is the tricky part how do you say 'oh yeah dad I just got picked up by some random guy on a phoenix highway who then took me to Vegas to meet his family and then preceded to fuck me after only 3 days of knowing each other?' Without him getting in the car with his shotgun and working his way here?

"Just some friends I went to college with, one of the girls actually. She was having a bit of a road trip with her family and invited me along when she found out I was leaving Phoenix" I babbled

"And you're really not going back to phoenix?" My dad asked "Not that I'm not excited your coming to stay with me, which I really truly am" he rushed out "Its just I would hate to see yours and your mothers relationship go down the pan over someone we know she will get tired of eventually"

"I don't think she will dad that's just it" I muttered shaking my head "Anyways, I'm going now, I'm going to get breakfast and then maybe ill try my luck at the poker table" I laughed.

"Always bet on a pair of tens" I heard my dad chuckle down the phone.

"Will do, ill speak to you soon" I smiled.

"Keep me posted" He added before he ended the call.

"Yep" I sighed into the dead line before snapping my phone shut.

Well I could do one of two things, I could sit here for the next half an hour and sulk about how much of a nasty bitch my mother really is or I can get showered, get dressed and go and actually live my life and have some fun. This time I chose the latter option, I will not be brought down by a mean lady and her bullying sex toy I will be better than them and prove to them that I don't need anything they can offer me. Nodding to myself over my new self empowerment I marched into the bathroom for what can only be described at the best shower of my life before throwing on a white boy beater and a pair of denim shorts, I slipped my sandals on and grabbed my bag, assuming that everything was still in there from the previous night and walked out my room and towards Edwards. I quickly knocked on the door and waited…and waited…and then waited some more but nothing.

"Edward" I whined knocking on the door again. Just as I lifted my hand to knock again, the door tentatively opened and Edward stood in front of me in nothing but his boxers, hair dripping wet and I think I just about came again there.

"Bella, you're early" he muttered looking round anxiously.

"Um no I'm late actually, about ten minutes late, are you okay?" I asked eyebrow furrowed.

"Yeah…yeah I'm fine just lost track of time I guess, look can I meet you downstairs in like 5 minutes I just need to get ready and stuff" he said quickly looking round the hallway behind me.

"You don't want me to wait for you?" I offered.

"No!" he almost shouted "No that's fine really, ill be down in like 5 minutes I promise" he smiled tightly leaning down to kiss me before shutting the door.

I turned around and began walking for the elevator…no stairs, feeling oddly confused and shot down. What had happened in half hour to make him so agitated? My brows were still crease by the time I got downstairs and didn't ease up even when Alice called me over to sit with the rest of her family.

"Where's Eddie boy then? You ride him too rough last night" Emmett said laughing.

"You what?" Alice practically squealed, yet I still couldn't concentrate.

"Betty you alright over there?" Emmett asked this time his laugher subsiding to only a small giggle.

"Yeah just Edward seemed kinda funny a while ago, he was fine before but when I just saw him he practically threw me out the room and said he would be down in five minutes" I said looking up. Emmett glanced over at Jasper and it was almost as if a conversation were taking place between the two that no one could hear, they sat silent for a moment before Emmett broke out into a toothy grin.

"Awh don't worry Betty we'll go grab him for you" he laughed before grabbing Jasper as walking out the hotel restaurant . I nodded and smiled as I watched them leave but something still didn't feel right.

"So you slept with Edward huh?" Rosalie asked bluntly......and I was back into the real world.

Reviewers get Edward answering the door dripping wet in his boxers...Gosh that sounds dirty!
