I am so sorry about the long break between last update and this one. I've had a bit of a rough couple months so it's hard to find my own muse to write ;) But I have this one done and I'm halfway done with the next chapter so hopefully, we can get back to regular updates. As always thank you to all the reviews that I received. They mean so much to me.

Disclaimer: I only play around with the Characters and Songs

Chapter ten: But I don't care, cause right now you're mine.

Edward wasn't joking when he mentioned that he would be taking me out on a date, a real date.

With the day of his departure drawing closer and closer, he hasn't had to work as late. Most of the scenes they needed done in New York were just that, done.

So one day while I was doing what I always do now that I don't work, Tumblr, I received a text.

Hi pretty girl. I was just wondering if, you know…you'd like to, uh…go out with me?-E

I couldn't help but snicker.

Hmm…sounds fun, sure.-B

YES! I mean, cool—thanks, see you at six?-E

And that's why I love this guy.

Six it is.-B

There was still plenty of time until I needed to get ready so I didn't bother to budge from my spot on the sofa. I did, however, stop stuffing my face with the bag of Doritos…after a few moments.

I needed a hobby.

You might get lucky later. You know...if the date is good.-B

Sexing up my boyfriend! Perfect hobby.

In that case...this will be the best date you've ever had-E

Already is ;P-B

Just wait :)-E

Give me a little hint. I have to dress appropriately-B

Never! Wear what makes you comfortable-E

Since I took my new hobby seriously, I decided a little teasing picture may help him spill the beans. It wasn't anything too racy plus my face wasn't in it so if it ever did get out-God that would really suck-no one could say for certain that it was me.

You sure you don't want to tell me?-B

You are an evil evil creature...but my lips are sealed-E

I pouted but accepted. What's one little surprise anyway?

Having a hard time here. Seeing you in my shirt and your lacy little panties...fuck.-E

I snickered.

Ten points to Bellapuff.

What can I say? I'm a big Harry Potter nerd. And my sorting house was hufflepuff. The boyfriend was well aware of this fact and we had even spent the night on Pottermore getting him sorted-he's Gryffindor btw.

I should get him a scarf. And have him wear only the scarf. And his reading glasses. God Edward in his reading glasses is a sight that I never thought I'd get to see in person.

Mmm.

See this is my mindset over the course of the last few weeks. I start out with something seemingly innocent and it always ends up with Edward naked, or semi-naked.

Speaking of, my tumblr has been flooded with asks for a naked picture of Edward. The fan girl in me gets it, encourages it even, however the girlfriend in me wasn't exactly jumping at the idea.

But like I said, I get the real thing.

After another hour of laying around being lazy, I got up and continued to be lazy.

Alright, so having no jobs and no more studio appointments left me with very little to do throughout the day. Since the apartment was immaculate, cleaning was out. I already left my indent in the couch for the day so that was out.

Instead of being lazy, I decided I would take advantage of Edward's-my; I still squeal at the thought- in home gym.

I was never really a gym girl. It definitely wasn't my favorite thing to do back when it was mandatory and it still isn't something that really sparks interest but a little workout never hurt, right?

That was such a lie.

I decided to take it easy and just go on a slow stroll on the treadmill while I bounced between all the radio stations I knew.

And I wasn't disappointed in the slightest. My song played at least once on each station that I switched too.

"I'll spend forever wondering if you knew, I was enchanted to meet you." I sang along while trying not to do a crazy little dance on the treadmill. The last thing I needed was to end up with a broken everything.

Been there, done that.

"And here we have the lovely, Bella, giving all you lucky followers a private show."

I tripped.

Had Jake not been so quick on his feet, I'm sure the outcome would have been devastating.

"Jesus!" I smacked him. "Thanks but-" I smacked him again.

"Violent."

"You scared me, almost to death."

"And got it all on camera." he grinned wickedly.

"I will kill you. I will kill you, hack your body into tiny pieces, and dispose of you." I threatened.

"You're like a little kitten when you're mad. You want to be a lion but ya, you're not."

"I will stop feeding you."

"No!" he cried in mock horror.

"See, I have my ways." I laughed. "What are you doing back here so early anyway?"

"You know I'm staying here." He suddenly was avoiding my gaze.

"What?" I looked down to make sure that I had clothes on, I know I did but the way he was acting you'd think my clothes had just magically busted off my body. "What happened?"

"Why would you say something happened? Nothing happened. So much nothingness..."

"Uh huh." I eyed him close. He had the same clothes on as he did last night but that wasn't all. He had some pretty big hickies covering his neck. "YOU GOT LAID!"

"Ssh," he covered my mouth with his hand. "I'll delete the video and we never speak of this again."

"You'll delete the video and tell me anyway."

"Bella."

"Jake."

"Bella! Where are you? We have to talk about what happened be-Oh," Rosalie stood in the doorway staring at Jake with wide eyes.

And I laughed.

I couldn't help it.

They slept together. Sure, it could be a mere coincidence but the fact that Rose had matching hickies and the two of them were both staring at each other with a deer in the headlights expression...it was pretty obvious.

"Oh, Hey Rosalie."

"Hey, Jake."

"Looks like you two need to tal-"

"No!" They both shouted

I pursed my lips.

"I have places to be, people to see," Jake said, shoving his phone in his pocket. "I'll see you later, Bella."

"Later."

Fan girl Bella totally ships those two.

Ooh, what's a good ship name? Racob, nah. Jacalie, nope. Hmm.

While fan girl Bella worked on a possible shippers name for the two of them, Sane Bella was watching Jake awkwardly try to maneuver around a panicked looking Rosalie.

When the two finally managed to get around each other, Rosalie rushed over to me, still with that wide-eyed dear expression.

"I slept with him."

"I got that much," I laughed.

"I slept with Jacob Black."

"Yeah." I said, slowly.

"And now it's all awkward and weird." she groaned. "I don't know what to do."

I was never one to give relationship advice. Lord knows my own relationships weren't exactly a good example, in fact we all know that my luck in that department just recently turned around.

"Talk to him?" I offered up.

"Did you see us a few seconds ago?"

I pursed my lips, "Okay, maybe give it a few hours to pass?"

"And say what? About the incredible mind blowing sex last night. You know, the sex that gave me what felt like a hundred orgasms. The sex that for the rest of my life I will remember..."

I whistled, "That good, huh?"

"God yes. It was amazing, hands down the best sex I've had in...forever."

"I mean, you could start with that. Guys like to be complimented on their...work," I tried to keep a straight face but I couldn't.

"Ass," But even Rosalie was laughing.

"Hey, you asked."

"Such a love guru." She sighed. "I need therapy. C'mon."

"How can I be of help in therapy? Hi, yes, I indeed did witness the awkward morning after sex meeting."

"I meant retail therapy, you ass." she scowled.

"Oh, yea that would make more sense." I grinned sheepishly. "Let me get dressed."

"You have five minutes."

"I hope you're not like this during sex."

She threw a towel at me. I ran away, laughing as I went.

I did not dress up in anything fancy. Just a pair of jeans, a white t-shirt, and one of Edward's flannel shirts. I have an unhealthy obsession with stealing his clothes but there could be worse things.

After throwing my hair into a ponytail, I grabbed my sunglasses and joined Rosalie in the living room. Rosalie was currently face down on the couch, clearly trying to smother herself.

"Okay, let's go drama queen."

"I'm not being dramatic," she huffed. "It was a great night but he freaked out this morning. What if he never talks to me again? Our friendship circles are so intertwined..."

"Rose, relax. I'm sure he just doesn't know where you two stand...and maybe he's nervous."

"He's a playboy, he doesn't want a relationship." Rose argued as we entered the elevator.

"Isn't that just what the tabloids say?"

"They can assume so much shit but they hit the nail on the head with this one." she said. "Plus, I've known him as long as I've known Edward. I'm just the friend."

I paused, "You are Rosalie Hale. The gorgeous award-winning model. You aren't just a 'friend'," I said the word as if it were something dirty. Rosalie was stunning but not only that she was so kind, smart, and funny. She seemed like one of those girls that was the whole package.

Anyone would be lucky to have her.

"Even in Hollywood, guys can see other famous people as ordinary," she corrected. "I'm just the girl he sort of grew up with."

"Hollywood isn't so different from the norm than." I mused.

"We're still people," Rose said, rolling her eyes

"I know."

"But fame or not, the problems are still there. I think Jake's problem is he feels entitled to everything. He's got the best cars, nicest houses/apartments, and...girlfriends. Just like cars and homes, one girl just isn't enough for him."

I frowned as we reached Rosalie's red Ferrari. "Maybe he just hasn't met the right girl yet."

"Well, he's been through half of Hollywood so..."

"I'm still team Jakalie."

"Don't make me vomit."

"Okay, the name is a work in progress." I said, grinning.

"It needs a lot of work."

"I have time."

she scuffed. "Are we going to talk about my love life or yours?"

"What's going on in mine?"

"Um, hello. Hot British guy naked in your bed most nights,"

I bit my lip trying to hide the goofy grin that was threatening to bust out on my face.

"All nights."

"Whore."

"Slut."

"I love you," she grinned.

"I love you too, dork."

Who would've thought that someone like me would be hanging out with this gorgeous supermodel? Not only that but who would've thought that I would become overnight best friends with this girl?

Whatever I did in a past life to deserve this, I'm so thankful.

"Now spill, how is he in bed? Is he big? I bet he is."

"Do you really want the dirty details?"

"Yea, all of them. I may only be his best friend but I'm still curious about him."

"Edward is..."

Amazing, Perfect, Silly, Romantic, Hot, Sexy...

"You got it bad."

I sighed happily, "Yeah."

"You love him." It wasn't a question. "So fast,"

"It feels so fast but I just...knew."

She pouted, "I want that."

"You'll have that." I promised. "With Jake." she smacked me. "Fan girl fantasies are law."

"Since when?"

"Now."

"Promise me you won't start writing Jakalie fan fiction."

"Sorry, already started. Five chapters in, lots and lots of steamy sex."

"Make a Rosalie with like huge knockers and your ass."

"Oh, what happened to you not approving of my extracurricular?" And then I blushed. "You think I have a good ass?"

"First thing I noticed about you," she confirmed with a wink. "If you and Ed don't work out..."

"You know, I always told everyone you were my girl crush. The one I would have a hot lesbian evening with."

"Keeping that stored for future purposes."

"Ah yes, if this thing with Edward doesn't pan out..."

"I'm your girl."

I stuck my tongue out at her.

"But in all honesty, you two have what it takes to make it work in this world."

"You really think so?" I wondered shyly.

"I know so. You two are so intense. Anyone on the outside can see that you two have a love that will withstand even the cruelest of storms. This is a good thing in Hollywood."

I smiled.

"I call dibs on maid of honor."

"Now that's fast."

"I give it two months," she predicted. "Team Bellward...bedward? Edella?"

"Now who's the fan girl?"

She simply shrugged.

Spending the day with Rose was a great way to spend the day. We talked a lot, about everything and nothing if that makes sense. It was nice to have a friend in the know who could give me all the tricks to surviving the limelight.

The only downside of our day was that reporters were everywhere, and I do mean everywhere. They seemed to know where we were going before WE knew where we were going. Honestly, I'd have to give them major credit for predicting the future if they weren't so scary.

And the worst part was that they knew.

They knew about Edward and I and that's all that they wanted to ask about. I don't think I heard them ask Rose a single question, it was all directed at me.

"Head down, ignore them." Is what Rosalie told me to do but it was so hard to not keep glancing around in panic as they swarmed us any chance that they got.

"Bella, Bella would you like to give a comment about your relationship with Edward Cullen?"

"Is it true you two are engaged?"

"Are you pregnant?"

Now that question threw me for a loop.

What, he only wants to be seen with me know that he knows I'm pregnant with his kid? I mean, c'mon people.

"How long have you been together?"

"Are you aware that Tanya and Edward are rumored to be working things out?"

"Is it true Tanya Denali Cheated on Edward?"

"Do you feel like Edward's fame is what's jumpstarting your career?"

And there was the question that I absolutely loathed.

This wouldn't be happening if Edward and I kept things under wraps a little longer. They wouldn't just assume that he was the only reason that I had a career. Would I just be known as Edward Cullen's girlfriend?

"Hey, deep breaths," Rose ordered as we finally made it into the store. The journey from the car to here had felt like it lasted an eternity, had it really only been five or so minutes?

"They think I'm a gold digger."

"No."

"Did you he-"

"They just ask random questions to try and get a reaction out of you." she told me. "I doubt any of them think that for a second. Besides, your song came out BEFORE you two did."

"Coincidence," I groaned. "They probably think that he bought my career."

"Bella."

"I worked so hard to get where I am today. I don't want anyone to think that it was just handed to me." I know it was silly to be this upset but I couldn't help it.

"Listen to me," Rose said, cupping my cheeks. "This is Hollywood. They create their own theories and then use the negative reactions from the paparazzi to back it up." she sighed. "Right now it may suck for you. I get that you're worried about what people may think of your start. But soon enough," she grinned. "They'll only be thinking of Edward as Bella Swan's boyfriend."

I laughed. "You think so?"

"I know so." she promised. "So fuck them."

I nodded, "Okay...I'm sorry."

"Don't worry about it. It takes some getting used to." Rose said. "My first few months were hell...I flipped on them and now I have a video that backs up the 'she's an ice queen' theory."

"How do you get used to all the rumors? I mean, they have to bum you out."

"I know the truth," she said, simply. "It's just like any other situation. Whether I was famous or not, there would always be rumors. As long as I know what's true, and my friends know what's true, that's all that matters."

That was definitely good advice to keep in mind.

"Now, let's shop until we drop." Rose suggested. "Ooh, how about this for your date?" she held up a very short and very tight looking green dress.

"Uh..." It wasn't my style at all. And it definitely wasn't my style after I looked at the price tag. "Four hundred dollars! For that?!"

"Cheap, huh?"

I glared at her, all the while I was blushing because I didn't have that kind of money to waste at this point in time.

"Not your style, got it."

"I can't exactly afford this place," I whispered to her.

"I got it, don't worry."

"Rose..." I groaned.

"I want to." she insisted.

"I can't let you do that."

"I do what I want."

"You're killing me."

"You love me," she grinned. "Ooh, blue is definitely your color. Try this one...No, this one...both, and this one..."

"I'll owe you my first born at this rate," I hissed.

Rose just laughed and ushered me toward the dressing rooms.

Many, Many tiring hours later, Rosalie's 'therapy' was deemed done. She spent way too much on me, seriously the majority of bags in her backseat were mine and not hers. She told me to think of it as a 'Welcome to Hollywood' package. Meanwhile, I kept track of it all and vowed that I would pay her back.

I will admit though. Rosalie has a great eye for fashion, being a model will do that to you, and most of the things she bought me, were really cute. Still didn't like it...

We had a late lunch after our shopping spree, opting to sit as far away from the doors as possible because of the reporters-who seemed to grow in number with each passing minute.

I was able to bully Rose into letting me at least pay for lunch. So I felt a little better about how much she spent, but not much better!

At around five thirty, she dumped me off at home with all my goodies and promised we would get together for lunch again sometime soon. She didn't want to come up and I had a feeling that was because of Jake being home so I didn't push.

All the shopping, and definitely all the reporters, had exhausted me so after saying a quick hi to Jake, I crashed face down in my cloud of a bed.

Sadly, my nap only last two hours. It was for the best really. I was dreaming about those damn reporters getting up close and personal as they were trying to do all afternoon. Except in my dreams, they were way more confident when asking certain questions.

Ugh.

Bella BellyButton

Had great fun with TheIceQueen. Got my first dose of paps though .

Nowadays, my twitter is far more popular these days and I had hundreds of responses within minutes. Everything from sympathy to just random questions about Edward, there was a little of everything in each of those responses.

I answered around thirty questions, humoring Edward's fan girls-Fan girl Bella feels for them- for a bit before switching over to tumblr. It was odd seeing my face just pasted on my dashboard, so odd. At least I looked decent. Well, decent with a ting of panic in some photos.

I'll admit though, I couldn't contain my excitement when I saw the first-to my knowledge- Bella Swan fan tumblr. I was, however, surprised to see that they had tons of videos of me performing in different bars or coffee houses. I even found one from back when I was eighteen!

It felt good, knowing that they were supporting my music more than just the fact that I was Edward's girlfriend.

How was your day?-E

Interesting-B

Good or Bad?-E

Rose is a blast to hang out with, ofc. The reporters tho...-B

I'm sorry :c-E

I got through it, Rose gave great advice. I owe her our firstborn, btw-B

It was only after I sent that did I realize that I just admitted to planning to have children with him.

Sure, we were at the love you and move in phase but definitely not at the lets have children phase.

LOL, what?-E

She bought me so much!-B

Technically, I did. ;)-E

That sneaky little...grrr.

Grrr-B

Would you look at the time...I will be home in about thirty mins to pick you up. See you then, pretty girl-E

I'm gonna kick your ass, Edward Cullen-B

Love you too-E

Damn him, I thought as my cheeks flushed and my heart started racing.

Still kicking your butt...love you.-B

Leaving my phone on the bed, I got up and started to get ready for our first 'out' date. I'll admit, I put a lot of extra effort into looking good. I tried to go for Rose good looking but I'm pretty sure Rose is Aphrodite reincarnate so that wasn't a look that was easily recreated.

Still, I didn't look too bad.

My hair was wavy, I had debate on curly or just straight but I liked this in between much better. My make up was light, light pink eye shadow and very limited eyeliner. My lips were red but not as vibrant as I usually go.

The dress I picked for tonight was one that Rose-Er, Edward-bought for me earlier. It was a bold look. A white lace v-neck, and I mean deep v-neck, dress that zipped up in the front. I was a little worried about a potential wardrobe malfunction but the girls seemed okay thus far. I dared to wear a pair of black heels that were a bit taller than I was used to but I felt good about them.

"Hot date tonight?" Jake whistled.

"Yeah."

"Lucky guy."

I blushed. "Lucky girl."

"I like you." Jake grinned. "I approve. I'm glad my best friend found you."

"I like you too," I said. "So, tell me something...You and Rose..."

He groaned, "Didn't plan it."

"Did it mean anything?" I wondered.

"Promise to keep a secret?"

"Pinkie Promise," I vowed, holding out my pinkie.

He looped his with mine, "It did. Rosalie is just...she's amazing. She's fucking hot as hell...but she has a brain too. I've always admired that about her."

"So why did you run out this morning?"

"She's also intimidating."

"You've been friends longer than we have." I laughed.

"You have to admit, Rose does that."

"But you're...you."

He frowned.

"Okay, Hollywood is appearing to have just as much 'love' drama as normal life." I sighed. "She likes you, a lot. We aren't teenagers anymore...we shouldn't have to hide crushes."

"Did she tell you she likes me or are you just guessing?"

"Both, I guessed and she confirmed."

"You're not joking?" he searched my eyes. In his own dark brown eyes, I could see excitement and hesitation.

"Go get her."

"But-"

"It's been long enough, don't you think?"

"If this pans out, you might just be my best man."

I laughed, "Edward would fight me for that spot."

"But he wasn't the love guru."

"True, I do look good in a suit."

Jake laughed and headed for the elevator, "I love you, Bella."

"Hey, that's my line." My jade-eyed muse whined.

"She's a keeper!" Jake shouted before the elevator shut.

"What did I-wow, you look stunning,"

I beamed at him. "I might just have to skip the ass-kicking."

He laughed and pulled me close. "I want to kiss you."

"So, kiss me."

And kiss me he did.

I keep wondering when our kisses won't feel like they make my heart stop. So far, almost two months later, they still have the same effect on me. But hey, if this feeling last forever, I sure as hell won't complain.

"Ready to go, pretty girl?"

I nodded, giving him one last lingering kiss.

WTB a green eyed muse! xD As always, thank you for taking the time to read this and I do hope you leave me a review!

See you in the next chapter :P
