First things first…..

Disclaimer *sigh*: I do not own "Twilight" nor do I own "Funny Face" I would be thrilled and rich if I did.

Okay, so my extra time off went by really fast but it was great. I now present Chapter 10. I'm posting earlier than usual to make up for my long absence. It's probably not my best but you know how that goes. It's also a shorter chapter but I needed to get through it so we can move on to the next fun part. I put, what I guess you would call, a lime in here because it's certainly not a lemon. I hope it's not too disastrous. I'm really not too sure about this chapter and I apologize beforehand if it ends up boring you to tears. I promise to try my best and make the next chapter better. Thanks to all of you who reviewed. Reviews were kind of sparse last time but I appreciated the ones I got. I hope ya'll are not getting bored with my story. I'm hoping to actually finish it up pretty soon. Okay……

READ ON!

EPOV

Bella was a complete hit at the party. We were introducing her to some well known designers that we frequently worked with as well as some of our sponsors. They all loved her and couldn't wait to see how well sales for the new issue came out. It seemed that everyone that met her had the same faith in her that I did. I talked more with Charlie and was relieved that we seemed to get along so well. He even invited me to go fishing with him and his buddies whenever Bella and I got the chance to visit Forks. Bella seemed incredibly happy. She kept a smile on her face the entire night and she looked absolutely lovely. She seemed to glow with joy. My mother and father adored her already but it was hard not to adore Bella. That night seemed to be pure magic and there was one thing that made it even more exciting.

Flashback

I noticed Alice looking around the room as she walked towards me.

"Edward, have you seen Bella?"

"No, she was just talking to Mom. Maybe she knows where she went."

We walked over to Mom as she and Renee were chatting.

"Hey Mom, where did Bella go? Alice has been looking for her."

"Oh, didn't she say something about needing a little fresh air Renee?"

"Yes, she did. She may be out in the hallway. She said she'd be right back and she hasn't been gone long."

"Thanks," Alice said, "I guess I'll go get her."

"No, I'll go. She probably does need a bit of a break anyway. I'll go check on her for you."

"Sure Edward, you just want an excuse to get her alone but go ahead you lovesick puppy."

I just rolled my eyes at her as she, Mom and Renee laughed. I walked out into the hallway and didn't see Bella anywhere.

"Bella?" I called out but there was no answer.

I went down the left corridor but didn't see her so I headed toward the stairwell thinking she may have gone there for some privacy. I was nearly there when someone suddenly grabbed my wrist and yanked me into a room.

"What the hell?"

The door closed and the room was completely dark.

"Were you looking for me Edward?"

"Bella? What is going on?"

"Well," she said turning on the light to show me where we were, "I seem to remember a conversation about a janitor's closet. Do you remember that little conversation, Edward?"

Fuck, the sexy vixen was back.

"Um…yeah. I….uh…I definitely remember that conversation."

She walked toward me then and pushed me up against the wall. She leaned up and kissed me just behind my ear making me groan.

"Well then," she whispered, "I think it's about time we made our fantasy come true. Don't you?" She asked as she bit my earlobe gently.

"God yes," I said and, before she could object, I had her pushed up against the other wall as I began to devour her perfect mouth. I moved away from her mouth and trailed kisses all over her neck and back up her jaw line. I took her earlobe in my mouth and nibbled and sucked on it making her moan.

"Edward," she sighed.

"I love you Bella," I breathed into her ear.

It was the first time I had ever said it to her but I couldn't hold back anymore. She pulled back to look at me.

"What did you say?"

"I said, I love you Bella. I love you, I love you, I love you." I leaned down and kissed her again chastely. I pulled away to look in her eyes hoping desperately that she felt the same way. She smiled and then threw her arms around my neck and kissing me passionately. She moved one hand to caress my cheek and pulled back again to smile at me.

"I love you too Edward. More than I ever thought possible. I love you, so much."

She didn't give me a chance to respond but it seemed we had both said all we needed to say. We kissed with a passion that we had never had before. Her hands roamed my chest as mine began an exploration of their own. I ran my hand from her neck, to her shoulder, down her arm and her hip to caress her thigh. I lifted her up then and her dress rode up to reveal her beautiful, creamy thighs as she wrapped her legs around me. Our kisses were becoming more and more heated. I felt Bella's tongue reach out and lick my lips trying to coax me into opening up to her but I wasn't going to give in so easily. She was unbuttoning my shirt and soon enough had my skin exposed so she could run her hands over my now unclothed chest. She leaned her head down and placed kisses all over my chest making me moan for more. I placed my free hand on her face bringing her lips back to mine. She tried again to coax me into opening up my mouth for her but I just grinned against her lips. She growled in frustration but continued to kiss me. It seemed she had a plan to get me just where she wanted me. She wrapped her arms tighter around my neck and ground into me. When my arousal met hers I couldn't stop the groan and gasp that escaped my lips. She took advantage of that gasp and slipped her tongue past my lips giving her exactly what she wanted. Our tongues danced together as we continued to grind into one another every so often. All too soon, we needed air and had to stop. Besides, we hadn't made love yet and this is not where I wanted our first time to be.

"Bella," I said panting for air, "we need to stop."

She unwrapped her legs from around me and I gently placed her back on her feet.

"Why?" She asked.

I smiled down at her lovingly and stroked her cheek.

"Because, I love you and I don't want things to go too far here. I want to make love to you someday but this is not the right time or place. I want it to be special for us. Not that this wasn't special. It is definitely a memory I will keep with me always, you sexy little vixen you."

She blushed and shook her head in agreement.

"You're right. Besides, I think we should get back to the party. I'm pretty sure Alice will blow a gasket soon if I stay gone much longer."

We straightened out our clothes and hair and headed back to the party.

End Flashback

Yes, that was one great night and I couldn't help the goofy smile that spread across my face as I remembered it.

"Hey handsome," Bella said as she plopped down in my lap, "what are you smiling about?"

"Oh, I was just thinking about your party last month."

"Really? Any part in particular?"

"Hmm….well I was thinking about this incredibly sexy woman that locked me in the janitor's closet with her and took advantage of me."

"Is that so? I hope you had a good time."

"The best, my love. I always have a good time with you."

"Edward, flattery will get you everywhere."

"I certainly hope so."

She laughed at me then and turned to straddle my lap as we kissed. We were a month into our relationship and still had not made love. We both wanted to wait a while longer before taking that step but that didn't mean we couldn't have a little fun in the process. Before Bella, I never knew I could get this aroused while being completely clothed. If the feelings were this incredible and intense with all of our clothes on, I could only imagine what it was going to be like once we finally took that big leap and made love for the first time.

BPOV

Since the party my life had been a whirlwind. We continued to do shoot after shoot since my first issue was a big hit. I was more excited about that than I thought I would be. I guess because I expected it to be a big bomb. How wrong I was. I had letters pouring in everyday from women of all ages who were excited that I was the new cover model for Cullen Designs. It took a lot of time but I made sure to respond back to each of them myself. I didn't want some assistant who barely knew me to send off a form letter of thanks to them. They had taken the time to write to me and, the least I could do was take the time to write my own thank you back to them. One of the designers from the party, Laurent, had invited me, Alice, Rosalie and Edward to his studio in Paris to look at some of his new designs. He wanted me, and only me, to wear his designs and was hoping that Cullen Designs would do a feature on them. So, we were scheduled to leave in a few days to look them over and I was beyond excited. I had never traveled outside of the United States but I always wanted to go to Paris. Now that I had Edward, it would be even more incredible. Who doesn't want to spend time with their significant other in the most romantic city in the world? Edward, of course, had been there many times but was so excited about going this time that you would think it was his first time going. He said he couldn't wait to take me out and share the sights with me. I couldn't wait either. I was daydreaming about our time there when someone knocked on my apartment door. I looked through the peephole to see Edward. I threw the door open and immediately kissed him.

"Hello love," he said pulling back from me smiling.

"I'm happy to see you too. Are you all packed yet?"

I grabbed his hand and brought him inside.

"I'm nearly finished. We still have a few days though, so I don't want to pack everything up."

"True, don't tell Alice but I haven't even started yet."

"Oh Edward you are a naughty boy," I said swatting him on the ass.

"Don't you know it?" He said flashing that devilish, crooked grin that always melted me into a big puddle of mush.

"Behave mister or I might just have to tell Alice that you haven't packed so she can come over and help you with that."

His eyes got wide and he started shaking his head furiously.

"No, no….please don't do that," he begged teasingly.

"You know I wouldn't."

"Yes, I do. So, are you still excited for the trip?"

"Yes, I'm even looking forward to going to Laurent's studio and trying on all those clothes."

"You have crossed over to the dark side love."

"I know, isn't it terrible?"

"No, not really. The dark side can be fun you know," he practically purred at me.

"True," I said as I winked at him.

"Well, I have a bit of a surprise for you."

"Edward, you know how I feel about surprises."

"Yes, but you'll love this. I'm sure besides I'm telling you what it is now. You don't even have to wait."

"Really? What is it?"

"Yes, you don't like surprises at all do you? Look at how your face is lit up with excitement."

"Hush," I said socking him in the shoulder. "Tell me what it is."

"Okay, okay. I arranged it so you and I could spend a few extra days in Paris all by ourselves. No designers, no modeling, no photo shoots. Just you and me enjoying time with each other."

"Oh Edward," I said as I threw myself at him in a hug, "that's wonderful. Thank you so much. I was really worried that we might not get to really enjoy our time there with work being involved."

"I know, that's why I worked this out with Alice and Rosalie. I didn't want you to miss out on really enjoying yourself and I didn't want to miss out on having you all to myself in the most romantic place in the world."

"You're too good to me Edward. I love you."

"You deserve so much more my Bella and I love you."

We settled in on my couch not really watching whatever movie was playing on the television. Before long we were both fast asleep in each other's arms dreaming of Paris.

So, review if you like. I hope it was a worthwhile read. Laurent will not be bad, nothing like that will happen. This story is a happy one. I hope the janitor's closet scene was okay, sorry if it sucked Serpent91, I know you really wanted that scene in there, ha. Well….I'm off to work. Until next time……
