Wanted to mention that all the wonderful characters in this story that I am writing belong to and were created by Stephenie Meyer. She made them what they are today, and I am just playing around with them and making them do the things that you can not find in a book written for teenagers.

I want to also say a very special THANKS to my wonderful Beta ABBYWARD Thank you Thank You

Chapter 10: Moving Day

BPOV

I helped Esme with breakfast again; I enjoyed spending time with her. She told me stories about Edward as a child. She and Carlisle always wanted a large family, but Esme had complications when Edward was born and she never had any more children. I told her about Renee, and she found my descriptions of my mother funny. I told her how I was an only child because my mother's maternal streak was nonexistent, at best. We talked for an hour before the others started getting up.

We got back to Chicago around 10. The furniture was all set out. The kitchen was unpacked. All the new appliances were where they belonged. I walked into my room and it was all set up too, everything was put right where I had imagined it.

"Do you like what my design team has done, Bella?" Esme asked as she came up behind me.

I turned, hugged her and said, "Yes! Thanks, Esme."

Rose and Alice were both happy with their rooms as well and Esme was given more hugs.

Esme listened when people talked and managed to have everything in the condo put exactly where we would have put it.

She left to go finish a few things at Edward's, and said she would see us tomorrow.

At noon, I received a text from Edward.

Are you all moved in and unpacked? :)

You knew we would be…didn't you? I replied.

I can't lie…what are you talking about? lol Want to have dinner with me tonight?

I would love to have dinner... What about my guard dog?

We will eat at my house, no guard dog needed.

They will not let me out!

We will eat at my condo, I am your neighbor.

You're moved in already?

Yep!

:) What time?

5:30...I will pick you up! ;)

I knew that I would have to tell the sisters what was going on. So, biting the bullet, I called, "sisters, let's chat."

We sat in our new living room, on our new couches, drinking out of our new cups and we told each other about our new personal discoveries from the weekend away.

"Emmett is so hot. And he can dance!" Rose started our meeting. "I really like him and he told me I'm beautiful when we were dancing on Saturday night. He kissed me good night after the dance and I was really disappointed. I wanted to get laid. But I think maybe it is good we haven't. I think we will be different. He is different. He's worried about professionalism."

"This will be over soon, they will catch Tyler. Then you two can be together," I said. Saying Tyler's name made me shiver.

"Well," Alice began with her news, her face lit up with excitement. "I have been bursting to tell you about Jasper! He stayed in my room on Saturday and Sunday. God, he is so good..." We stopped her before she could share too much.

I told them all about my weekend. They were excited. I also told them about the dinner Edward was organizing for me, and Alice launched into Bella Dress-up. I told her it was a casual dinner and no need to glam it up, but they ended up picking out my outfit and, of course, did my hair.

At 5 o'clock I finally escaped and went to the living room to talk to Charlie.

"Dad, I am going to Edward's for dinner."

"I know that's fine. I will be here, and Garrett and Emmett are off until Wednesday morning, when you girls go back to school. I think Emmett will be here this evening anyway though. I need to talk to you about something Bells."

"What is going on Dad?"

"I'm going to have to go back to Forks, I got a call earlier there was a body found last night. It looks like a homicide and I have to be there. I do not want to leave you alone."

"Dad, I'm safe here, I'm not alone and I will be fine... When do you leave? Do you want me to stay here tonight?"

"I want you to have a nice dinner. I have to leave in the morning. Promise me Bells that you will put safety first."

"I promise Dad," I reassured him. "You be careful too. A murder in Forks just doesn't happen."

"One more thing Bells, you will have a new guard, his name is Sam Uley. He works for Masen."

"Okay, I will be fine. And thanks Dad, you have been really great."

"I love you Bells."

"I love you too Dad," I told him as I hugged him.

There was a knock on the door. I kissed my Father's cheek and opened the door. I was wrapped into a hug immediately and I felt the tension leave my body...

EPOV

After texting Bella, I had my meeting with Sam Uley. He will be Bella's personal guard. Sam had been with Masen since I was a kid. I told him what I expected, and made sure he knew he would be responsible for watching the woman I was dating.

I had never been the guy to throw around my money or my family name but, when it came to Bella I would if it makes things better.

I went home, my new home. I went in and saw the table set. The house smelt amazing. I ordered all of Bella's favorite Chinese meals. I sent Rose and Alice some flowers earlier to thank them for their help.

I quickly lit the candles and make my away back across the hall to her door.

As soon as the door opened I felt complete again, my missing piece was back, standing in front of me. I pulled her into my arms and hugged her to me, inhaling that sweet smell that is only Bella. I took her hand and walked into my condo.

"Welcome to my home, Bella," I said gesturing with my free arm. "Tonight we are having all of your favorite Chinese dishes for dinner."

"How did you know?"

"Rose and Alice were helpful," I chuckled. "I am sure that you will hear, and see, how I thanked them for their information. Speaking of that, these are for you." I gave her a beautiful bouquet of purple Viscaria and Orchids in a crystal vase. From the sound of her gasp she liked the flowers. We set them on the table, and I pulled out her chair.

Dinner was good and we cleaned up together, I told her I would do it, but she is stubborn. I was happy she did, though; I wanted to spend every minute with her, even if it was just cleaning. "Would you like to watch a movie with me?" I asked when we were done.

She nodded and we moved to the living room. We cuddled on the sofa and spent more time kissing and talking than we did watching the movie.

I eventually looked at the clock and saw it was late. "Sweetheart, it's 11 o'clock; I should walk you back home."

"Edward, can we do this again, soon? I would like to cook for you," Bella said, almost in a whisper. As soon as she finished talking she started chewing her bottom lip.

"I would not have it any other way, my love," I replied before I devoured her bottom lip with my mouth.

I finally walked Bella to her door at midnight, both of us agreeing that she would cook at her place that night. She unlocked the door and opened it.

Before she walked away from me I pulled her to me and gently kissed her lips. I hugged her to me so I could smell her hair. I brushed my lips against her ear and whispered, "Sweet dreams, my love."

Stalker POV

RAGE is the only emotion I feel right now!

She is not here; the Professor informed me he, personally, took care of getting her up to speed for the class.

Her campus advisor called to inform me that all her tutoring is being put on hold and they offered to set me up with a different tutor that was covering her schedule, I declined saying that I was doing quite a lot better now.

How are those twits able to keep her from going to school?

I went back to her dorm last night, and it was empty.

RAGE!

I can't call her, I can't see her…She will pay dearly for this, tomorrow she will be coming home!
