Because Today You're MY Model
I looked up at Bella, who was crying, but she didn't look upset. She was smiling at me. Bella then threw her arms around me a placed a gentle kiss on my lips.
Edward's POV
Bella's lips were soft and gentle on mine. But then, her lips were hesitant against mine and she immediately pulled away. I looked at her. I was confused, I thought she wanted this.
"I'm so sorry Edward. I was... I was just.... caught up in the moment." Bella said, all to fast so it was kind of hard to understand her.
"No, don't worry. It's fine Bella, I swear!" I said trying to calm her down. The last thing I wanted was to stress her out and cause her body more pain.
"Okay. Again, I'm sorry." She whispered, obviously embarrassed about what just happened. We sat in silence for a couple of minutes. If I knew anything about Bella's personality, it's that she doesn't like to stay quiet or still for very long.
"So Edward, have you ever considered becoming a model? I mean, you are obviously gorgeous. And you have the muscle build for it." Bella asked as her hands trailed over my chiseled chest leaving goosebumps, but hopefully she couldn't feel it.
I laughed at the thought of me becoming a model. Of course, people have told me that I should, they said, "You look as if you've come straight out of an Abercrombie and Fitch ad." But the idea of being a model had never satisfied me. But, being behind a camera sure did. I love expressing my visions through pictures.
Bella looked confused. "Why are you laughing? I'm being dead serious, you could become a model." She whined.
I continued to laugh, "Suuuuuuuurrrrreee." I said. Bella began to glare at me, but the thing was is that Bella's glares are more amusing than frightening, which made me laugh even more.
"Do you want me to show you that you'd be a great model, than follow me." She yelled as she hopped of the bed. I got off my bed and tried to catch her. Carlisle said she shouldn't be moving alot.
"Bella, are you in pain?" I said as we both stopped at the door leading into my studio.
"I'm too angry to notice pain." She spat and opened the door. Bella began to scan the room, I stayed close behind her. "Where do you keep your camera, Edward?" She asked.
"Why?" I asked confused. "Because today you're MY model." She stated. I smiled and went over to my shelves where I stored most of my cameras and gave her one that was the easiest to use. I handed her the camera. "Do you know how to use it?" I asked.
"Edward, I'm not an idiot. I know how to use a camera." Bella said.
"Okay, but you have...." I began to say before she interrupted me. "STOP stalling Edward! Now go stand over by the backdrop." She ordered, and this time it actually scared me a little, but I would never tell her that.
I walked over to the backdrop and waited for her next instructions.
Bella's POV
This is going to be fun. I thought. Now it's my turn to use Edward as my own personal barbie doll.
"Now Edward, please take off your shirt." I said.
Edward removed his shirt without hesitating.
DAMN! Was all that came into my head. I always thought Edward was gorgeous, but seeing him without a shirt, oh my goodness. He had a very defined chest, complete with a six pack. I couldn't stop looking at it. But then I realized that I'm the photographer and couldn't get distracted.
"Okay now Edward, please don't freak out, but I need you to remove your pants." I said. Believe me, I was laughing on the inside, hoping that it didn't show in my face.
"Bella..." He started to say but I stop him. "Hey now. you've already seen me naked. Now it's my turn to see somewhat you."
"Somewhat?" He asked. "Well, you're not going to be completely naked. I just want you in your underwear." I said a matter-of-factly.
Edward took a deep breath and began to take off his pants. Once his pants fell to the ground, he stepped out of them and threw them to the side next to his discarded shirt.
I was literally SPEECHLESS. Words could not describe how gorgeous Edward looked. Him in his underwear, I began to feel a little wet I'm not going to lie. And he looked very well "equipped." Edward, by the looks of it, is well endowed. I had come to the conclusion that Edward Cullen is the most gorgeous man to EVER walk this earth, and I wanted him. But he could never want me and why should he, I'm just a stripper whose going nowhere fast. I couldn't find a flaw in Edward. Usually when meeting a guy for the first 5 minutes, I'm able to spot dozens of flaws, but Edward had none from what I can tell. I just can't believe that someone can risk losing him. Why did Tanya want to risk losing him? Did she see something I didn't?
I stood still, as those thoughts were still circulating through my brain. "Is this okay?" Edward asked. Aw... he seemed shy.
"Yes Edward, it's okay." I said sweetly.
It was clear that he had never done anything like this before so I wanted to make him feel as comfortable as possible.
"Okay. I'm going to put some music on to help you relax." I said slowly as I walked over to his docking station. I put on the perfect song. The song began to play and Edward looked confused.
Superstar
Where you from, how's it going?
I know you
Gotta clue, what youre doing?
You can play brand new to all the other chicks out here
But I know what you are, what you are, baby
Look at you
Gettin' more than just re-up
Baby, you
Got all the puppets with their strings up
Fakin' like a good one, but I call 'em like I see 'em
I know what you are, what you are, baby
"Womanizer by Britney Spears. This is supposed to help me relax?" Edward asked, a little stressed.
I laughed. "Of course it's supposed to help you relax. It's your theme song you womanizer, you. Now pose a look pretty fucking gorgeous. And have fun." I said.
Womanizer
Woman-Womanizer
You're a womanizer
Oh Womanizer
Oh You're a Womanizer Baby
You, You You Are
You, You You Are
Womanizer, Womanizer, Womanizer
Boy don't try to front I (I) know just (just) what you are (are are)
Boy don't try to front I (I) know just (just) what you are (are are)
Edward began to pose as if he was getting into the song. Like pointing at himself when "I know just what you are" came on. He looked silly, but pretty fucking adorable. I was getting a lot of photos of him.
You Got Me Goin'
You're Oh-So Charmin'
But I can't do it
U Womanizer
Boy don't try to front I (I) know just (just) what you are (are are)
Boy don't try to front I (I) know just (just) what you are (are are)
You Say I'm Crazy
I got Your Crazy
You're nothing but
A Womanizer
Now he began to dance as if he was crazy. "Edward, okay okay, you win! Come choose a song." I said laughing.
Edward walked over and quickly chose a song. It began to play.
Just One more moment, that's all that's needed.
Like wounded soldiers in need of healing.
Time to be honest, this time I'm bleeding
Please don't dwell on it, cause I didn't mean it
I cant believe I said I'd lay our love on the ground
But it doesn't matter cause I've made it up forgive me now
Everyday I spend away my souls inside out
Gotta be someway that I can make it up to you now, somehow.
By now you'd know that I'd come for you
No one but you, yes I'd come for you
But only if you told me to
And I'd fight for you
I'd lie, it's true
Give my life for you
You know I'd always come for you
For about 3 more hours, Edward and I just had fun. I took great shots of him, hopefully they could prove to Edward that he would make a decent model. I was quite proud of the work I got out of him. When we were finished, we just lied down on the floor and got to know each other more. We both have similiar tastes in movies and music, except Edward doesn't understand why I have an obsession with Britney Spears music. And we both lost our virginities when we were fifteen, him to and older woman, obviously, seeing as the man is well equipped. From what Edward has told me, he was quite the ladies man. I lost mine virginity to a childhood friend of mine named Jacob Black. We were both virgins at the time.
I also found out that Edward was born Edward Anthony Masen on June 20, 1986 (makes him 22, 4 years older than Bella) and was in foster care when he was five because his parents, Edward Sr. and Elizabeth Masen, were killed by a drunk driver. (This subject hits close to home for me.) He says his adoptive parents Carlisle and Esme have treated him as if he was their own flesh and blood. Edward also has 1 brother named Emmett and 1 sister named Alice. They were both married, Emmett to woman named Rosalie and Alice to a man named Jasper. From the sound of it, his family is amazing.
I wish I had that. I thought.
"So Bella, tell me about you." Edward said casually as we were both laying on the floor, side by side.
"What do you want to know?" I asked hesitantly. I didn't want to scare him away.
"You know, when you were born, about your parents, the usual." He said.
"Well, my full name Isabella Marie Swan and I was born on September 13, 1990. My parent Charlie and Renee were high school sweethearts, who married right out of high school and had me a year later. Charlie and Renee divorced when I was over a year old and lived with my mother until I was 14. She got remarried to my step father named Phil Dwyer, whose a minor league baseball player, and she wanted to travel with him so she sent me to live with Charlie. My father was the chief of police but left after I ran away." I had to stop because tears were forming in my eyes.
Edward realized this and got up in a sitting position, as did I. He began to slowly stroke my back, being careful not to hurt me.
"You don't have to talk about it if you don't want to." Edward whispered in my ear.
"No, I want to tell you." I said.
"Edward nodded. "I ran away because Charlie made me unhappy. He was never home, on a count of his job. This left me with all of the house work. And when he was home, he would just be lounging on the couch in front of the TV. I felt like a slave, like I was invisible to him, you know? Jacob helped ease the pain though. But when we were both 15, Jacob started to hang out with a guy named Sam, who in my opinion is bad news, so I never saw him much. I just couldn't take it anymore. My mom got rid of me, my dad treated me as if I was invisible, and Jacob left me. So I ran away, and Bruno found me." I said crying, so I don't know if Edward understood anything I said.
"What happened to your father after you left?" Edward asked, wiping the tears from my eyes with his hand. His hand felt so good on my face.
"He left to try to find me, or so I've heard from the people in town. But I really don't know, and I'm kinda glad I don't or else Bruno would be after him. And my mom travels alot so I hope Bruno doesn't find her as well. It's for the best right now, until Bruno finally gives up and leaves me alone." I said sadly, still sobbing.
Edward pulled me into a gentle hug and tried to soothe me. "I'm so sorry Bella." He whispered into my ear over and over. It felt like I was in his arms forever, until my cell phone began to ring. Edward beat me to it and got my phone.
"Who is it?" I asked as he stared at the caller ID.
"April Myerson?" He said.
"Oh... gimme." I said as I grabbed the phone from him. "Hello." I answered.
A woman was crying on the other end. "April, what's wrong?" I asked suddenly frightened.
"Cam was attacked." She cried.

"I'd Come For You" by Nickelback
Just One more moment, that's all that's needed.
Like wounded soldiers in need of healing.
Time to be honest, this time I'm bleeding
Please don't dwell on it, cause I didn't mean it
I cant believe I said I'd lay our love on the ground
But it doesn't matter cause I've made it up forgive me now
Everyday I spend away my souls inside out
Gotta be someway that I can make it up to you now, somehow.
By now you'd know that I'd come for you
No one but you, yes I'd come for you
But only if you told me to
And I'd fight for you
I'd lie, it's true
Give my life for you
You know I'd always come for you
I was blindfolded, but now I'm seeing
My mind was closing, now I'm believing
I finally know what just what it means to let someone in
To see the side of me that no one does or ever will
So if your ever lost and find yourself all alone
I'd search forever just to bring you home,
Here and now this I vow
By now you'd know that I'd come for you
No one but you, yes I'd come for you
But only if you told me to
And I'd fight for you
I'd lie, it's true
Give my life for you
You know I'd always come for you
You know I'd always come for you
Yes I'd come for you, no one but you,
Yes I'd come for you
But only if you told me to
And I'd fight for you
I'd lie, it's true
Give my life for you
You know I'd always come for you
No matter what gets in my way
As long as there's still life in me
No matter what, remember you know I'll always come for you
I'd crawl across this world for you
Do anything you want me to
No matter what, remember you know I'll always come for you
You know I'll always come for you
