Waking up after last night was like waking up from the most amazing dream, you're perpetuately pissed off because it ended.

The date went unbelievably smooth considering I am the biggest klutz to ever walk the earth, I didn't even break a bone. And I managed not spill my hot chocolate all over him, which is good considering I was shaking thanks to nerves of looking like a complete and total idiot.

Even though I refused to get out of bed I did. I took a super quick shower and just brushed through my hair letting it air dry. I ignored my make-up bag, I was just gonna be hanging out around the house today anyway so why make an effort to get ready?

I threw on an old t-shirt from my teenage years that surprisingly still fit me. I ruffled through my dresser and found a pair of black cotton pajama shorts that covered most of the skin on my butt.

I made my way downstairs to check my phone. It was eerily quiet. I shuffled lethargically over to my table where my phone was and yawned loudly, picked up my phone and shuffled through the new messages I had. There were only two.

The first one I checked was from Alice,

Bella! Me and Jazzy are just going to hang around his new house! It's amazing, there's going to be a small house warming party today at two. Feel free to bring a date (;. Alex is bring Mitchell.

--XOXO Alice.

I made a mental note to make a dish for the party and to possibly ask Edward to join me, if I could get the guts to ask him.

Yeah I know I'm being stupid being nervous and insecure about asking him out to a party when he asked me out to coffee just yesterday. But maybe he was just being nice and maybe he didn't have any other plans so he decided to hang out with a co-worker. I ignored my pouty thoughts and focused on my other text from Alex.

Hey toots! I am having a fantastic time with Mitch, thanks doll! Anyways, I might be staying at his house tonight if everything goes as planned! Wish me luck darling and do not stay up.

Love you- Alex!

Okay so it seems that both of my best friends got lucky last night and I didn't even get a goodnight peck on the cheek or even a 'Call me later'. Nope just a 'I'll see you later I guess'. I don't know why I'm flipping shit over this its not like me and Edward were an item or had any strings or anything like that we were just friendly co-workers and one of those coworkers just happen to be insanely and unnecessarily gorgeous along with a British accent and the uncanny ability to design a runway worthy dress and the other coworker just happens to be falling for the other.

My brain hurts.

I ran into the kitchen to look at the time. Oi! It was seven thirty, I didn't think it was possible for me to get up that early when I knew for a fact that I didn't have to be anywhere at a certain time.

I dove into the fridge and pulled out a liter bottle of Mountain Dew and started to chug it for some caffeine fueled energy. I got about half way through it when my stomach suffered a minor earthquake and made me realize that I was practically starving.

I searched through the fridge and we were out of eggs and bacon and I wasn't really feelin sausage so I moved onto the freezer and pulled out a few Eggo waffles and put them in the toaster.

While they were baking I searched throughout the pantry for some maple syrup, when I found some I popped it into the microwave and let it heat up. I poured myself a glass of milk and got out a plate and a fork in preparation for my breakfast.

The microwave beeped first and I pulled out the syrup, almost simultaneously the waffles popped out of the toaster and directly onto the plate-I'm just kidding about that but that would've been fucking sweet. I ran over to the toaster and ripped the waffles into little bits like a little kid so it was easier to eat. I poured an overly generous amount of syrup on them and sat down at the bar to eat.

I ate slowly, trying to pass the time between now and noon, which is when I will have to begin getting ready for the party at Jasper's, which reminds me that I have no fucking idea where his house was. I'll ask Alice later.

I ate the last bit of golden goodness and chugged the rest of my milk and put the dishes in the dishwasher. I jumped up onto the counter and sat there for a minute and thought about what I could do now, it was only 8:45 and I had some time to kill. I guess I could clean, I had been neglecting that since about two weeks ago.

I decided to mop the foyer-like area first to get it out of the way. I ran to the hall closet and grabbed the supplies. I filled the bucket with some Lysol but mostly water and headed for my work site. I rushed over to the stereo and blasted some old music, I laughed at the lyrics and started mopping away.

EPOV

I knew Bella probably couldn't hear me because of the loud music that was playing so I opened the unlocked door-I would have to remind her about locking her door because someone could break in when she was sleeping.

I cracked open the door and saw Bella with a mop and she was jumping up and down, or maybe she was dancing, I wasn't certain.

The song was immediately recognizable. 'Wannbe' by the Spice Girls. I walked over to the stereo without Bella noticing, she was quite unobservant, and I turned off the music. She noticed the absence of her music immediately and turned around, a little too quickly I might add.

She slipped on the wet floor and went crashing to the ground. She groaned with pain and I rushed to her side.

"Blimey! Bella, love are you okay? What hurts?" She was holding her head and had her eyes closed tightly.

"Edward? I think I hit my head."

I picked her up bridal style and took her into the kitchen to get some ice. I sat her down on the counter and got out a towel and ice from the freezer.

I put the ice inside the towel to make a makeshift ice pack and handed it to her.

She looked beautiful of course, but this time she was completely natural. Her hair was long, wavy and still damp from her shower. She didn't have any make-up on and unlike most girls she looked stunning without it. Sure, with make-up she looked great, but without it she just looks so perfect.

The corners of my mouth turned up into an automatic smile when I looked at her t-shirt. It was a pale yellow color and had a picture of two dinosaurs. One of the dinosaurs had a red hand print on the side of it's face, the other one was laughing and saying 'I didn't slap you… I high-fived you in your face'. Only Bella would wear that.

She held the ice pack securely to the back of her head, "What's so funny?"

"Your shirt, it suits your sense of humor pretty well."

She blushed red and her eyes shot quickly to her shirt. "I got it in high school, or maybe it was middle school. I don't remember." She laughed nervously. "Sorry that I don't really look presentable, it's actually quite embarrassing." She bit her full bottom lip, sending my poor heart into a frenzy.

"Bella, you look beautiful." I ran my cold fingers along her cheekbone and brushed a piece of hair behind her ear.

She looked away and cleared her throat, "Uhm not that I don't enjoy your company because I do, but why are you hear?"

I thought for a moment and thought that it would be a bit creepy if I told her that I was completely in love with her and couldn't stop thinking about her last night and that I couldn't wait another minute to see her so I decided to drop by for a morning visit, so I thought of something to show her that. "I forgot something last night." I said it quietly but I knew she heard me.

She looked around the kitchen for a wallet or a coat, something that I could've possibly left. She found nothing and turned back towards me, still sitting on the counter she was completely at eye level with me. "What?"

"This."

I leaned in carefully, cautiously. I grabbed the back of her head and wrapped my fingers into her hair and pulled her face closer to mine so I could feel her lips on mine. Once she realized what I was doing she smiled and threw her arms around my neck and met my lips.

Her lips were soft and smooth like the finest silk money could buy. They moved with mine without a flaw, each pair mirroring the other's movement. Fireworks were going off around us and my body was filled with warmth and comfort. Electricity was flowing through my veins and making my heart beat erratically and painfully fast, but the pain was pleasant.

I moved my hands down her petite back, feeling all the curves and contours of her perfect little body. She shivered and I smiled through the kiss.

I licked her bottom lip requesting entrance into her mouth, thanking god that I brushed my teeth this morning when she complied.

When our tongues collided I couldn't help but moan and be beyond thankful for this woman. She tasted sweet, like syrup with a hint of peppermint. She tasted perfect, better than I had ever expected.

Our tongues were moving together, not fighting for dominance over the other. Her hands tugged on my hair and that just encouraged me more.

The kissing slowed down and I left innocent little kisses around her jaw and collarbone.

I regretfully stopped and saw that Bella was panting along with me. "Bloody hell."

She gulped and her swollen red lips turned up into a smile that I would gladly kill to see again and again.

"I've been waiting for you to do that." Her blushing never failed to make my heart stop beating for a second.

"I'm sorry I kept you waiting my love."

She looked around the apartment nervously, I helped her off the counter and she fiddled her thumbs, another nervous habit I suppose. "Edward, uhm I was wondering if you would like to go to a party at my friend's boyfriends house, if you want too. I understand that it's last minute and everything-" I cut her off with my finger against her lips, I grabbed both her hands in mine causing flames to warm up my body.

"Of course, I would love to. Anywhere you are is where I want to be." I wondered if I was laying it on a little thick but then I realized that I didn't give a fuck.

She let our the breath she had been holding and smiled, "Do you want to hang out and watch a movie maybe?"

I didn't think that that would require an answer so I just grabbed her hand and led her to her living room and told her to pick out a movie while I sat down on the couch.

She picked out 'Elf', "Bella dear, it's not even close to Christmas."

"I know but no matter what season it is you should be able to enjoy the comedic stylings of Will Ferrell."

I had to agree with her so I just sat there and enjoyed my time with Bella. If you asked me I wouldn't be able to remember a single thing that happened in the bloody movie because I was watching her the whole time. But if you asked me how Bella reacted during the movie I could tell you that when Will Ferrell said a funny line or did something humorous she would laugh and grab her sides, her eyes would close and her nose would scrunch up and she would laugh silently. Her body would shake but no sound would come out, it was so oddly Bella that I found it completely adorable.

The movie finished and Bella wiped the laughter tears away from her eyes and looked up at me through a full set of eyelashes. "Well, I guess you have to go home and get ready. Just meet me back here at 1 or 1:30."

"That sounds perfect." I kissed the top of her head and left much to my dismay.

When I reached my car my body felt incomplete and I couldn't help the overwhelming feeling of misery that struck me. I missed Bella, I needed her for my own sanity.

As soon as Edward left I ran upstairs to take another shower to make sure I was completely clean and good smelling.

The hot water relieved the edginess caused by Edward's visit. Not to mention the jittering, but that stopped about 10 minutes into the shower. I washed through my hair twice and then conditioned it to make it soft and shiny.

When I got out I ran downstairs in my robe to the kitchen, I made a bunt cake with Jasper's favorite vanilla confetti mix and icing. After all that was done I grabbed my phone and asked Alice where Jasper's house was. She replied quickly and asked me if Edward was coming, I rolled my eyes. Fucking psychic pixie. I told her the news and texted Edward the 'dress code' and ran upstairs to finish getting ready.

I went to my closet, Alice said dressy casual so I found a high waisted black shirt with ruffles at the bottom. Sounds ugly but paired with the right outfit it's adorable. I kept searching and found a gray racerback tank with two big hearts with an arrow through them. For my shoes I found an old pair of different looking black ankle strap sandals that would look amazing with my outfit.

I put all of it on and was pretty much satisfied, but something was definitely missing, but when I went back into my closet I found that I just needed a belt. I put it around the top of the skirt that hit at my waist.

I went to my bathroom and dried my hair that was only slightly damp. I lightly curled my hair so that it looked natural and beach-like in a way. My make-up was subtle, the usual black eyeliner and mascara and a little bit of shimmery lip-gloss.

I had to admit that my outfit did look a little plain so I went downstairs to Alice's bathroom and went through our jewelry, I remember what Alice told me about jewelry, layering was in fashion and you couldn't go wrong. I found a silver chain necklace, a twisted white and gold pearl necklace and a black rhinestone and pearl necklace with a loop structure. It actually looked good in my opinion of course.

It was 5 minutes until one thirty and I was waiting in the living room pacing back and forth hoping that he wouldn't bail on me. But then I heard a knock at the door.

I ran towards the door ripping it open to see my own personal miracle. He looked perfect as always. Dark straight jeans that were too long were pulled over black converse. He was wearing a white purple and black plaid shirt with the cuffs rolled up to his elbows, his cuffs were unbuttoned as always. He was wearing a skinny purple tie that matched the purple in the shirt perfectly and a black vest. The tie hung loose on his neck and the top button on his shirt was unbuttoned.

I thanked God in my head for blessing me with this man.

He leaned in and kissed my cheek sweetly, "Ready to go my love?"

"Yeah, you look great."

"I couldn't compare to you right now, you look mouth-watering." Was the creepy? No, not coming from Edward anyways.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.

OKAY! Ah so I know it was short, and I hate short chapters with a burning passion but my dad is threatening to take away my computer and my phone away if I don't go outside and help with the pond. Ugh!

So thanks again for reading and being patient with me.
