Chapter 10 (Bella's POV)

"Wow." I said as I looked up at the huge white house. More like a mansion.

"You like it?" Edward asked, looking at me.

"Like it? I love it!" I was in awe. Why was he working for us when he had this huge-Oh, yeah, his parents made him. I laughed at the memory.

"Come on." Edward came around to my side and opened my door.

"Awe, you're so gentlemanly." I said when he opened the door again, to the house this time. I was rewarded with a cute blush. Awe.

"So, this is the living room." He waved around the huge room. It was as big as a ballroom dancing floor. "Back through there is the kitchen, but this is the dining room."

"Edward? Is that you?" A voice called through the house. I looked up to see Esme coming down the stairs. It's been awhile since I seen her last, probably a year or two. "Bella?"

She came down faster and hugged me tightly. I could barely breathe. "Hi, Esme."

"Oh." She pulled back. "It's been so long."

"Yes, it has."

"You've met?" Edward looked curious.

"Remember when I said your parents helped Charlie and me after the…" My throat went dry as the sentence went to dust.

"Oh, yeah. Forgot." He looked at his mom and immediately changed the subject. "Is anybody else home?"

"No. Carlisle should be home early though, so you might see him. The rest went shopping in the city." Esme said kindly. Kindly. She said everything so nice and kind. She was the most generous person I have ever met. "Do you want anything to eat or drink?"

"No thank you." I looked at Edward. "He needs to change his clothes, he's soaked to the bone."

Esme finally took in her son. Her eyes went wide as she saw his wet hair, clothes and shoes. "Edward! Go take a hot shower! You must be freezing! You're going to catch pneumonia!"

I smiled at her Mom 'ness. My mom never really cared. All she liked about the country was the horses. She loved the city and people, but horses-she loved them more than anything. More than me. More than Charlie. Her family. The reason why she made up the Field of Fun was so she could talk and show-off. She loved to be the center of attention. But she did change that last week when we found out. She started…

"Bella? You wanna come up? You can listen to music while I take a shower and change." Edward's voice broke my concentration and I followed him up the stairs, hugging Esme before.

"So… where we going?" I asked, as we started down the hallway.

"My room." Edward smiled at me, while his cheeks had a slight red tint to them.

My own face went red at his answer. We walked in his room and once again, I was in awe. "Seriously. Why do you have to work?"

"Hmm?" Edward asked confused. It dawned on him when he saw where I was looking. At his wall of cds. He had hundreds, maybe thousands. "Oh, I collect them wherever I go. Plus my brothers and sisters (AN:notice how they never say names? Remember that!) always add to it. They download the songs, then put the cds back. Carlisle and Esme put theirs in too. So it's everybody's, if anybody needs something, they can find it."

He went to, what I guess was his closet and started talking again. "You can either use the stereo or the portable cd player." He came out again, holding clothes. "Or, if you can find it, I have an Ipod somewhere around here."

"Okay." I went over to see what kind of music he had. "How do you sort them?"

"Umm. By year and then preference." I looked back to see what his hesitance was. He was looking at me, in kind of an awe expression.

"What?" I asked bluntly.

"Nothing. You just-nothing." He went red again. "Umm, I'm going to go take my shower."

"Wait!" I ran over to him and kissed him. He didn't have time to react before I pulled back. "Okay." I smiled and ran back. I waited for footsteps but didn't hear any, so I looked back at Edward, who was still in shock. "Ya alright?"

"Yeaaahhh." He blinked several times, then dropped his clothes on his bed. He had a smirk on his face as he walked over to me. He cupped my face with his hands. And lightly kissed my nose, cheeks, forehead, and finally my lips. But as he did the last, his hands fell to my sides and he began tickling me. I felt him smile against my lips before I broke away.

"EDWARD!!!!" I tried to get away, but couldn't. He held me in his arms.

"Now, who's teasing who now?" He asked smugly.

"Oh, just go take you shower." I said against his chest. But he didn't move and neither did I. I was probably wet again, but I didn't care.

We finally pulled away after a little bit. He kissed me one more time, this one lasting way longer than our previous kisses.

I finally picked a CD out, 'The Wonders' and stuck it in his stereo. I didn't see a chair or anything comfortable except his bed, so I sat down on it and listened to it. But I grew uncomfortable and lay down, on my stomach. I had my eyes closed and was listening to 'The Thing You Do' when the bathroom door opened. I didn't open my eyes until I felt a shift in the bed. Edward put his arm around me, and lay beside me. We listened to the album a few more times before I realized the sun was down.

I tried to get up, but Edward was holding me down. "Edward—"

He was asleep and looked so peaceful, like this morning. I heard footsteps coming down the hall and my eyes widened at getting caught. I shook Edward, and he awoke, slowly.

"Edward, wake up!" I whispered, hurriedly.

A knock came at the door, "Edward?"

It was male and Edward immediately sat up. He bolted to the door and I went to the now silent stereo. The bed didn't look too messed up. I ran my fingers through my hair, making sure it didn't look messy or anything.

"Edward, Esme told me you were home. I was wondering if you two wanted to eat supper with us?" I turned around and looked at Carlisle. I remembered his voice when he started talking.

"Um, sure." Edward said when I nodded.

"Alright, we'll be ready to leave in ten minutes. We're going to that new restaurant, Little Big Horn. (Real place.)" Carlisle then left, leaving us to each other. Edward came and stood beside me, as we gazed out his huge windows. I thought I saw something in the woods, but it could've been just a rabbit or something.
