I sat there watching the game with all the guys but mind was still back in that dark room with Bella. The whole time I was with her I knew that it was wrong but I couldn't help myself. After seeing that gift that Emmett gave her I became an animal. When she stopped me I caught a glimpse of myself and what I was doing and I felt terrible.

It amazed me when she tried to comfort me letting me know that it was ok. I could see it in her eyes that she wanted to say something to me but Emmett had to go and ruin it by yelling about the damn game. Now here I am staring at the TV but not paying it any attention and the worst part is that Jasper keeps looking at me like he knows something I don't.

At half time, which I only noticed because Emmett wanted food, I got up to grab all the bags of chips I had because I knew Emmett would eat them all. Jasper followed me and cornered me in the pantry. "Hey Ed, can we talk for a minute?" I chuckled at him, "Well we already are but I assume you have something specific on your mind so shot."

He looked over his shoulder to make sure Alice and mom weren't paying us any attention. "I just wanted you to know that Bella's different." My forehead wrinkled in confusion and he nodded his head for me to follow him. He quickly dropped off the snacks in the TV room and I followed him upstairs.

Before I knew it we were looking in the room at Rosalie and Bella. Rose was playing with Seth on the floor while Bella was sitting in the rocking chair holding a sleeping Leah. "She's better than Nicole. She loves you and I can tell that you are fighting with the feelings you have for her but your just causing yourself more pain."

I leaned against the door frame and crossed my arms over my chest. Just then Bella looked up at me and Jasper. The smile on her face made me wish that the little girl in her arms was ours and that scared the hell out of me. "I don't think I could handle it if she ends up being anything like Nicole. I'm scared Jazz, I haven't let anyone in since she left."

He slapped me on the back before he spoke. "No one can be for sure Edward, but you look at her and tell me if she is anything like Nicole. I don't see it, but you're the one who needs to know for sure." I did what he said and while I looked at her I felt my heart swell and it was almost painful. She wasn't anything like Nicole, sure there were the physical similarities which first drew me in but there was more to Bella and I wanted to know everything about her. Even if that meant I might get hurt again.

Jazz and I went back to watch the game and this time I actually paid attention to what was going on. I even got into a fight with Emmett over a call the ref made and Jazz had to break it up telling us we were both stupid and blind. It felt really good to have my family here with me and I would never want to go that long without them again.

The rest of the afternoon went by in a blur. I helped Rose with the twins and we got to know each other better. She talked for almost an entire hour about her feelings for Emmett and I just laughed because it felt good to have a girl friend to actually talk about this stuff with.

Before we knew it Alice and Esme came and got us for dinner. Luckily at that point the kids were both asleep. Alice told Rosalie to enjoy herself tonight because she and Jasper were going to spend the night with the kids. We were both confused by this but it became clear when Emmett asked Rosalie to join him a late night swim later that Alice was in on it.

We all sat around the table eating the most wonderful dinner I had ever eaten. "Oh my God Esme this is the best turkey I have ever had." She smiled, "Well Bella if things go well then one day I will reveal the family secret to you like I did Alice." I put the fakest smile on my face and looked down at my plate. It was things like that that made this situation so hard. It would be much easier if this family hated me.

Rose and I cleaned the dishes even though Esme said the guys should be the ones to do all the cleaning. As soon as we were done Rose sprinted upstairs to change into her bathing suit so she could join Emmett for their date. I wondered around the house spying on everyone I saw. Esme and Carlisle were watching cheesy Christmas movies while Jasper and Alice watched even cheesier cartoon Christmas movies with the twins.

I stayed as far away as I could from the pool because it wouldn't take a genius to figure out what those two were doing. I was on a mission to find Edward but he was no where to be found. I really wanted to get the awkward conversation out of the way but that would be hard to do without him.

I had almost given up when I heard the most beautiful music coming from a hallway I had never been down before. Since I knew where everyone else was I knew it had to be Edward. I followed the music and it led me right to the man I was looking for.

I stood at the entrance waiting for him finish before I spoke, "That was beautiful Edward." He softly closed the lid on the piano and patted the bench waiting for me to join him. I slowly made my over to him and sat next to him neither of us speaking. I picked at my fingernails while Edward played with a button on his shirt.

"Look Edward, I get it ok. What happened this afternoon doesn't have to mean anything." I swallowed trying to swallow my emotions and not cry. I tried to keep my eyes down to the ground but that was impossible because Edward lifted my chin so he could look into my eyes.

"Bella, I can't pretend like this afternoon means nothing because it doesn't. I'm silent right now because… because you make me feel things I haven't felt in a long, long time. The last person I cared about took my heart and shattered it. When she left I swore I would never let anyone in again, but you weaseled your way in. That should scare me but it doesn't. I want to give us a try, that is, if you want to."

Not once during his speech did look away from me or break eye contact. I wanted to scream at him of course I wanted to try and be with him but I knew that would be over dramatic, so instead I settled for claiming his lips.

I placed both hands on his face and pulled him to meet mine. What started out as a soft and gentle kiss quickly became very heated and passionate. His hands grabbed my thighs and pulled me so that I was now straddling him on the bench, which I must say wasn't very comfortable.

My hands moved from his face and locked onto his unbelievably soft hair. His tongue licked my lips trying to get me to allow him entrance which I of course gave him. He tasted so much better than anything I had ever tasted, mint with a hint of cinnamon but he was amazingly sweet. With his hands still on my hips he began to grind me against himself causing the friction we both desired.

I sucked on his bottom lip while he devoured my top one. I took my hands out of his hair and instead scrapped my nails down his shirt clad chest. He growled and startled me when he quickly stood and laid me down on the piano top. When he pulled from me I saw a glint in his eyes that I had seen in many men's eyes before but from Edward it was different.

He reached the bottom of my shirt and raised it to just below my breasts. Not a single spot on my stomach went without being kissed and touched. He placed his left hand on my hips to keep me from squirming. As he held me down his fingers played with the button on my pants but never undoing it.

I was panting unable to control my breathing as Edward began to lift my shirt up over my head. I had to sit up to help him and it was then that I realized what we were doing and where we were. Edward stopped lifting my shirt and grabbed my face. "Bella, what's wrong?" I squeezed my eyes shut and shook my head until he let me go.

I thought I was unable to control my breathing before but now I was having a full blown panic attack. "Bella, take a deep breath." Even though he said those words and I tried I wasn't able to actually do it. I was grasping at the edge of the piano trying to calm down but it was useless. He pried my hands off the piano and squeezed them bringing me back to reality.

My eyes shot open and I looked into his eyes trying to mimic each and every breath he took. When I calmed down he pulled me into a hug and kissed my forehead. "Bella I'm so sorry. I wasn't thinking. Please forgive me." I laughed and he pulled away looking at me like I was crazy.

I ran a hand through my hair exhaled quickly causing my bangs to fly around. "Edward, it wasn't you or even so much as what we were doing." He sat back down on the bench and looked up at me silently asking why I panicked. "You're gonna laugh at me." He lifted both of my hands and kissed them, "I promise, I won't."

I looked him dead in the eye as I spoke so that he would know I was completely serious as I spoke. "OK but no laughing." He nodded, "When I sat up to help you remove my shirt I noticed we were on the piano." He quirked his eyebrow at me not getting what I was talking about, "God, Edward don't make me spell it out for you."

He rubbed the tops of my thighs, "I honestly don't see the problem with being on the piano." I groaned and buried my face in my hands, "In Pretty Women he pays her to pretend to be his girlfriend and they have sex on the piano." It was like watching a light turn on behind his eyes. "Holy shit, Bella I never…" I shook my head, "Edward I didn't mean it like that, but you can see why I panicked right?"

He stood taking my face in his hands and kissed my swollen lips. "I get it Bella, its ok. However, now that we aren't acting like hormonal teenagers I would like to ask you something." I nodded not sure if I wanted to hear what he had to ask me. "Bella, would you please do me the pleasure of going out on a date with me tomorrow night?"

I giggled at this. After everything we have done today he really just asked me out and looked scared that I might tell him no. "You silly man, I would love to go out on a date with you tomorrow night." He leaned in and kissed me one last time before lifting me off of the piano and carrying me out of the room.

I thought he would put me down once we reached the hallway but he continued to carry me all the way up to my room. He gently placed me on the ground at my door. "Edward I could have walked on my own." He leaned down and whispered in my ear, "I know but I didn't want to let you go." He turned and our lips were almost touching when we both heard Rosalie screaming from the room down the hall. "Emmett, OH MY GOD!"

Edward turned back to look at me and we both busted out laughing. "That is awkward." I laughed at him, "At least it's them and not your parents." He scrunched his face up in disgust and I laughed. "OK with that I say goodnight." He leaned down and placed the softest kiss on my lips before he walked away. I waited until he was at his door and yelled, "GOOD NIGHT EDWARD!"

Once behind the safety of my door and squealed and jumped on my bed. I still couldn't wrap my head around the fact that I had a date with Edward tomorrow night. That night I dreamt of what it would have been like if Edward and I had met under normal circumstances, such as bumping into each while walking on the sidewalk. In my dream Hannigan was always right there behind me as if waiting for something to happen. When I woke up I couldn't shake the feeling that Hannigan was still going to play a major role in my life whether I wanted her to or not

OK so don't hate me for stopping the piano sex I promise if you keep reading there will be a lemon, just not sure when yet. Tell me what you think good or bad. If you have any suggestions just let me know I might be able to fit them in.
