Author's notes -- I do not own Edward or Bella

Please enjoy and review

A little over a week later

I had gotten note, that my roommate from college had passed away from an aneurysm last night, what twenty-eight year old has a freaking aneurysm? Really? I can't believe it, Fowler is dead. We were partners in crime, Laurel to my Hardey. I was languishing over the terrible news. Sitting here at my desk, in my empty office building, commemorating over the old days. The girls we chased, the parties we threw, it seems like it was only yesterday. I was just an awkward teenager when he found me. He changed my whole life, I had barely kissed girls before I met him and after, I was God. Every girl threw themselves at me, we ruled the campus.

After college we kept in touch for a bit, then he just slowly faded away. Now I'm on Expedia trying to get a flight out to San Diego to attend his funeral. Sad, just plain sad. I wish we would have kept in touch more, but that would never transpire. I didn't know much about him anymore, expect that he had a wife and two young children, twin girls. I put my head in hands, trying to figure out how to process this. Not just his death, but how short life can be. One minute your having the time of your life and the next your gone.

I have a flight booked to leave first thing tomorrow morning and will return this Saturday. I haven't been gone three days for other than business in a long time. This reminded me, take a vacation. Write that down. At least now I will have someone to enjoy it with, my Bella. Tapping my fingers on the desk, while trying to rewrite my schedule and make sure I'm back in time for the silent auction Saturday night, I hear the elevator door open. I didn't give it much thought, I just figured it was the janitor. It was about that time for them to come clean up here. Nope, it was that beautiful, leggy, girlfriend of mine.

"Edward, I'm so sorry baby",she said running into my arms, "Alice just told me when I called her back about dress options for this weekend, I came as fast as I could".

I just took her in my arms and held her. There was nothing that could be said to make it easier, I just needed her in my arms.

"Let's get you home", she said while getting up from my lap, "I will take care of anything else you need, don't you worry about a thing".

"Bella, I'm fine, it's just shocking and I feel remorseful for his family".

She sat on my desk and put her head on my shoulder.

"Sometimes life gives you a reality check, we don't always need another chance to express how we feel or to ask someone to understand your situation, sometimes we just need a good kick in the pants". I garbled

We sat in silence for sometime, I think she got the picture, talking was not going to help me, I just needed peace. I'm not sure what came over me but that confidence I had always had, flooded back into me, nope Bella wasn't going to control me tonight. I can feel the fire back on my tongue.

I pulled her head up so she was looking me in the eyes, I leaned in for a kiss. I felt the sparks running through my whole body as I always did, then I deepened the kiss. Our tongues doing a dance together in our mouths. She grabbed a fist full of my unruly hair pulling her into me. The ravish beast in me got all riled up, I pushed everything off my desk, not paying attention to throwing my expensive laptop on the floor, pushing her on her back on my desk with hard passionate kisses. I was groaning like the beast I was acting like. I sat back in my chair looking at the beautiful women lying before me, her legs spread, without a thought I pushed up her skirt and ripped her panties off of her. A small gasp escaped from her lips.

I went down on her like a fat kid in a pie eating contest. I didn't take it slow, I slipped one finger right into her hot sex, she was already wet and ready for me. I viciously licked her clit and in between her wet lips. I kept pounding my finger in and out of her, loving the sounds coming from her mouth. She had never seen this side of me before, hell I haven't either in awhile. I added another finger, pounding them in harder and faster, rubbing circles on her clit with my other hand and licking in between. I could feel her walls tightening on my fingers. Her moans would getting louder and louder, my dick harder with each moan. I couldn't take it anymore, I then pulled my throbbing cock out of my pants and slammed into her. I lifted her legs around my neck, pounding in and out of her, it was a beautiful sight watching my cock move in and out of her.

"Jeûneur, jeûneur ", she said between gasps.

"I fucking love it when you talk French to me," I grunted like a fucking caveman.

I then pulled her off of my desk turning her around so I could fuck her doggy style. I leaned her face down to my desk. I immediately entering her again, wrapping my fingers in her hair. I slapped her ass a couple of times, getting the yelps I was craving from her. I grabbed her by her hips helping me pound into her harder and harder, I couldn't help myself. We then both instantly came together, both screaming out the others name. She mumbled something in French under her breath, of course I had no idea what it meant. I never did. I just loved to hear it. As I stood there catching my breath, I couldn't help but be sorry for what I had just done. I fucked her like I did to other women. I knew it shouldn't matter, but Bella was different and deserved more. The emotions clouded my brain and I fucked her like I fucked a one night stand.

"Bella, I'm so sorry", I conveyed

She just looked at me while pulling her skirt down and picking up her ripped panties off the floor, shoving them into her purse. We didn't say anything as we left. Both looking straight ahead as we went down the elevator. It wasn't awkward silence, just what the hell just happened silence. I kissed her goodnight and told her I would call her when I got to San Diego. I watched her drive off in her black Range Rover, wishing I had invited her to stay with me tonight. Dumb ass.

As I got into my car and turned on the radio "Under the Bridge" by The Red Hot Chili Peppers was playing. Ironic isn't it? The lyrics were true, I never wanted to feel like I did today. The city was my only friend, I'm all alone.

I finally got home, knowing that I needed to pack first thing when I got home. I laid out a black suit with a white collared shirt and a black skinny tie. The rest of the time I was just going to go casual, I hoped to see friends from college to reminisce with. Then just exhausted from the day, I poured myself a glass of 1926 Macallan whiskey, I never drank this, I was saving it for a special occasion but it seemed like a good time to drink it. This bottle of whiskey was more expensive than most cars, I received from a client. I was in the mood for whiskey and was out of my usual. That was my rationalization. I went out and sat out on my balcony to enjoy the evening breeze. I loved the city wind whistling through my unruly locks.

*****KNOCKING*****

I jumped to the sound of knocking on my door. I open it to find Bella with her pillow and a bottle of Jack Daniels.

"Well, I see you already hit the bottle, can I come in"? She inquired

I motioned for her to come in grabbing her pillow from her and tossing in on the couch.

"Martini"?

"Nope, whiskey tonight"! she called out

"That's why I like you", I informed her, kissing her sweet lips already tasting of whiskey.

We sat on my balcony, her sitting in between my legs, our arms wrapped around each other. We sat in comfortable silence, I was off in my own thoughts and enjoying the warmth the whiskey gave me. I was just relishing her presence, no need to carry on a conversation. That's just how I am, sad or mad, I unwind in silence and a bit of whiskey, but mostly just the silence. When we both started dozing off, I carried her to bed and set my alarm for the morning.

"Good night love" I said, giving her a kiss on her forehead.

Before I knew it, my alarm was sounding off. It was 5:45 am, I think I got three hours of sleep. I went to take a hot shower to relax my muscles, since I had a six hour flight to look forward to.

"Edward I will take you to the airport if you like, that way you don't have to leave your car there", Bella announced

"That would be great babe"

She knew that I would not leave my precious BMW M6 coupe in an airport parking garage.

"I want to drive it"!, she exclaimed

I rose my brow at her for even thinking about it.

"Um no hun", I sneered

"Fine, fine, but I'm going in to work to fix your schedule, make a few calls, then I'm leaving to go meet Alice", she demanded

"Okay Bella, if that will make you happy, but your not touching my car", I huffed.

Someone is taking advantage of being the bosses girlfriend. I started chuckling to myself. She was so cute when she didn't get exactly what she wanted.

I'm finally on my flight waiting for the plane to take off, wondering what trouble my little sister and Bella will get into today. I had given Alice one of my credit cards to get Bella whatever she needed for Saturday, I'm pretty sure, no, for sure I will regret that later. Six hours, fifteen minutes, and four Jack on the rocks later I was in San Diego. I called Bella to let her know I got here safely, you know her thing about airplanes. Alice and her were at lunch at Piranha's Killer Sushi bar. I knew that they would get along great, which we be nice,

Alice hated every girl I had brought anywhere. The rest of the day I spent on my laptop, answering emails and looking at the schedule Bella sent to me. She was a goddess, working everything out for me perfectly, now I knew I could relax a bit. Room service and then bed was my plan for the evening. I called Bella after dinner hoping I could get little phone sex from that saucy little vixen of mine.
