CHAPTER 10

BPOV

After the interview was done, we all met at the back stage. I was just finishing a couple of books that were asked to be autographed when Edward came in, practically swooping me and spinning me.

"Bella. This is a big surprise love." He said a little breathless.

"Well, that's the idea. I missed you." looking intently into his green eyes before capturing his lips to mine. The weeks of longing and want, we both poured into this slow but needy kiss. I wanted more but the little pixie decide to interrupt.

"You Isabella Marie Swan, are a very very terrible liar! How could you do this to me?! I am your best friend!" She whined.

"Well it is not my fault why your radar is not working. Seriously I thought that you'll figure it all out during your parent's anniversary." I chided, she was about to say something before Emmet's stomach growled.

"Um..guys..ah…"

"Okay, let's have dinner. My treat!"

We decided to dine at La Piazza, the same restaurant we're we had dinner a few months back when I went in L.A. There were a few paparazzi but we didn't mind them. Luckily, as per Alice request, we were given a private room where we could enjoy our Italian dinner.

"I still can't believe that Esme and Rosalie knew about it! I mean, okay, I'll spare Rose but mom! Wow! She's good!" Alice whined as she stuff her mouth with a spoonful of crème brulee.

"Honestly Alice, we thought you're going to bust Bella during mom and dad's anniversary. Remember the book? If you just checked the last page, you would see her dedication there and she signed it as Bella." Rose laughed a little causing Lia to stir. The kids have consumed their energy after a long day.

"I guess we should head back to the hotel so the rugrats could sleep better." Emmet said.

Returning back to the hotel, Edward's group decided to check out and hand back there keys and just stay on our suite. Aside from the fact that it really does have a better city view, it's a lot bigger. By the time we settled down. I get the chance to reply to Charlie and Renee's messages. Both of them we're quite surprised yet proud of my achievement.

"I still can't believe that you tricked me on being in Forks when in fact you are just one wing away from me! And you've got a better view" Edward said planting a kiss on my shoulder.

"Well, I gotta to what I gotta do sweetheart." I responded.

"You have to pay for that you know." He whispered as his lips ghosted over my neck and jaw. "I missed you Isabella."

I did not know where my newfound confidence came from but I suddenly attacked Edwards lips, both of us moaning. He slowly move backwards until he is sitting on the bed. I followed straddling him, never breaking the kiss. Filled with lust and longing, I started grinding my wet core onto his hardness. "Bella." He sighed, breaking our kiss.

"Sorry, I just missed you so much."

"I know baby, and believe me, as much as I wanted to have my wicked way to you, we have to stop. This isn't how I plan to worship your delectable body babe." Edward breathed, kissing me chastely.

"Well, we better sleep then. You still have a photo shoot tomorrow and I have to drive Emmet and Rose to the airport."

"I guess that's better. Would you like me to just stay on the couch? I mean, you know." He asked

"No, lay beside me. I'll behave promise." I giggled

"Okay. Sleep now my love." Edward said as he pulled the comforter to cover us and kissed my temple.

"Edward."

"Hm?"

"I love you."

"I love you to Bella."

…..

Emmet, Rose and the twins headed back to Forks while I decided to tag along with the others here in LA. I will be extending my vacation for another week just in time for Edward's last photo shoot. During our stay, Alice dragged me for numerous shopping escapades. I also took the opportunity to check on with AMC regarding the movie production. So far the filming is going really well and the book tour has boost up its promotion. They said that they might finish it in November and might even have the trailer shown during Edward's movie's premiere. Of course now that Edward and I are out in the open as couples, there were times where we are hounded by paps but I could say that I pretty much adjusted to the LA celebrity life pretty quickly but I still dread the premiere. Edward just told me last night that he wanted me to walk with him during the red carpet. Of course I protested at first but after explaining to me that it was either walking down the carpet with all the photographers and media or him walking with Tanya, I chose to stay with my boyfriend's side.

"So, have you chosen a dress yet?" Alice said while she turns around letting the fabric of the dress flow. She has successfully dragged me to her boutique to choose the gown that I will wear at the premiere even if it's a month away.

"Not yet, I just. I don't know Al. I don't want the fancy ones, I just want it to be simple you know." Closing the design catalogue that I have been looking at for the past hour.

"Okay, what color would you like it to be?" She asked as she started sketching something.

"Edward says he likes me in blue, so blue." She flipped the pencil and erased something before continuing on.

"Done! I just have to transfer it to my computer and we could do the color and details. After a few minutes she called me and I fell in love with it instantly. It was a full length gown with, I must say a very daring side slit - completely contrasting the classic cut it has. It has geometrical patterns colored with black and blue. "It would be made with lace and the blue ones are going to be sequins. It will compliment Edward's suit which happen to be bluish grey."

"Oh thank you so much Al! It's an honor to wear you design."

"Well, it will mean more to me if you let me design your wedding dress." She said beaming

"Alice, Edward and I haven't even talked about it. We aren't even engaged! You should be the one talking about the wedding dress!" I stammered.

"You'll never know Bells! He might just pop the question one of these days!

…..

"Could you lean more like this…" the photographer said while maneuvering Edward's limbs to his desired pose. "Okay, hold it there." Then followed by the click and flash of the camera.

Alice and I made our way around the photo shoot set sitting down the mono block chairs with Jasper. This will be our last day here in LA and right after the photo shoot we will visit one of Jasper's favorite bar. While Alice and Jasper were talking about some random stuff, I busied myself ogling Edward. The contour of his face, the sexiness of his jaw, the way his body was sculpted like some Greek god all made my insides become giddy and wanton. I have this guy to devour. I love him and he loves me. He's mine. I was pulled out of my Edward induced state when some of the production staff asked me to sign their books.

"Is it really true Ms. Marie, that, uhm, you and Mr. Masen are like, uhm, like together?" one of the ladies inquired.

I only answered with my crimson blush. And they all squealed in delight. "Oh! You look so good together. Ms. Marie. We are a little bit jealous but we really are happy for both of you. You make quite a pair." The elderly woman added.

"Exactly, I hope that Tanya wakes up from her dreams because she'll never be good for Mr. Masen!" Shanon, as his name tag says commented in a huff. Yes, his name is Shanon and it's clear that he is gay.

"QUIET! I can't find my inspiration here!. What the hell are you all frantic about the- Oh! It's your lady love." The photographer said, making Edward look over our side.

"Darling, would you like to join prince charming here? He's starting to lose his spark."

"I..I don't know. I'm not dressed properly." I hesitated.

"We have extra wardrobes at the trailer. I think it'll fit you." Shanon exclaimed. "Come on chica, I'll do your make up as well. We'll be ready in 5 Andre', why don't you let Mr. Masen freshen up. He needs a retouch." With that, he dragged me out of the room.

"Oh Ms. Marie, Your skin is so divine! What products are you using?" Shanon blabbered while he rummage through the rack of outfits while I just stood there in my bra and panties.

"None. Well, it must be the genes. My mother's part albino and she's ¼ Irish, and my dad, well, I believe he has some Italian blood. So." I finished just as he shoved me a blood red mini dress. "Shanon! Are you serious? This won't go with the flats I am wearing right now!"

"Hey darling, who told you I don't have shoes for you? Here, wear these and I'm gonna fix your hair. You don't need to much make-up." After a few minutes, Shanon help me and we made our way to the set.

"Oh, dolcezza, look at you!" Andre' the photographer took my hand and made me twirl. Luckily, I didn't trip with my heels and made a stupid out of myself. Alice just beamed at me while Edward…well

"Anthony..hey, eyes up here babe!"

"Ugh yeah, shall…shall we ugh do start?" he stuttered and we all laughed. He stood up and Andre started giving instructions. He just wanted us to act naturally as a couple. So that is what we did.

"Okay! We're done here! Isabella, thank you for helping out. Would you like to see some of the photos?" Andre' asked as he motioned us to look over the laptop. I didn't expect me to be that gorgeous. I was not the type of woman to look up at myself in vain but the photos of me, is beyond gorgeous. I was glowing, full of life, natural blush and my eyes. My eyes and smile showed love and adoration to the man beside me and he reflected the same exuberance I have. "You lovebirds really look good together. See how you fit? I'll make sure to have a copy printed for the two of you."

We thanked the staff and I made sure to get Shanon's number and email. He would be of great help for the premiere.

"Okay! People, you have 2 hours to spare then it's clubbing time!" Alice excitedly squealed once we got settled in the car. Edward scowled and I just pretended to be excited.
