He gripped my arm all the way to the car. When he pushed me into the car I rubbed my arm, it really hurt. For some reason, that I didn't understand, I wasn't upset or nervous. I was going to fight this, I was working tomorrow night, and he wasn't stopping me. I put my seat belt on and I was trying to act like I didn't care that he was mad. I couldn't help the jump I did when he slammed his door.

"You really know how to ruin a good day," he said as we pulled out of the parking lot. When I didn't say anything he started trying harder to get a reaction out of me. "No wonder your father use to slap you around," he said as my blood boiled.

"How dare you say that to me?! But yet, you love me, right?" I said as he slammed on the breaks at a stop sign. "That fucking hurt!" I said rubbing my chest where the belt hit my chest.

"Good, I'm glad!" he said as he looked both ways before he started to drive again. "Why do insist on fighting with me every time I tell you to do something!" he said raising his voice.

"Because, we already agreed that I would work with you, and I was looking forward to it. I should have known that you would never keep your word, men never do," I said sitting back into my seat. I thought we were going home, but he pulled into a small diner.

"You hungry?" he asked. I didn't answer him; I just got out of the car and headed in. "So, is this how it is going to be? You are just going to ignore me?" Again I didn't answer him and he pulled me aside before we got to the door. "Talk to me now!" he said trying not to yell.

"About what?"

"Whatever, Bella, just quit being a bitch, right now!" he said pointing his finger in my face.

"Yes master," I said as I walked through the doors.

"Well, if it isn't Bella Swan," Jessica said. Could my day get any worse! "Dining alone I see," she said giving me her ugly smile.

"There will be two of us," Edward said placing his hands on my hips. I didn't want him touching me, but the look on Jessica's face was priceless.

"Right this way," she said trying to flirt with Edward. "Can I get you something to drink?" she asked once we were seated.

"Coffee for me," Edward said not making eye contact with her. That made me happy.

"I'll have an unsweetened ice tea," I said smirking at her. Neither one of us peeped a word to one another. I had nothing to say to him until he said I could work for him. What pissed me off was that he pulled out the applications that Jasper had giving him, that hurt. We ordered our food and he spent the time on the phone, doing who knows what.

"This one looks good," he said.

"I could care less."

"Thanks for the support, Honey," he said through clenched teeth.

"Any time," I said with a smile.

"You need to stop this right now. You are not working at the bar, end of discussion,

"Whatever you say, dear," I said with a shrug. I watched as he balled his fist, it almost made me laugh. "I don't know what your problem is. I don't understand why I can't," I said as he glared at me.

"We will talk about this when we get home, now is not the time. I have my reasons for not wanting my fiancé to work, got it?" he said as I watched him struggle to keep his temper in check. "This girl goes to school with you, do you know Jessica Stanley?" he asked as my mouth dropped.

"You have got to be kidding me? You are asking me about my replacement?!" I asked raising my voice.

"No need to raise you voice, I was just asking," he said as I glared him. "Do you know her?" I had never wanted to punch someone more than I wanted to hit him at that moment. I will say this, Jessica had perfect timing.

"Here's your food," she said smiling.

"Jessica, this is my fiancé Edward. Edward this is Jessica Stanley," I said as I started to cut my pancakes.

"Nice to meet you," he said.

"You too," she said shaking his hand.

"I'm in charge of hiring over at the new bar and grill, I have your application here. Do you really want to work for my brothers and me?" he asked as I kicked him under the table. He acted unfazed.

"Yes, only if I would be able to get more hours," she said very professional like.

"I would have to see what I can do. Would you be able to start tomorrow if I needed you?" he asked.

"Ugh, of course this would happen. No I leave tomorrow to go on a college tour," she said as I smirked.

"Oh, okay, I will let you know about the hours," he said as she walked away. "Keep being a bitch Bella, I'm warning you. Kick me again and I will hurt you," he said as I rolled my eyes at him. I flinched when he quickly reached across the table and gripped my hand painfully hard. "Knock it off, now! I am not telling you again," he said as tears started to come. "Do. You. Understand?" he asked calmly, squeezing my hand harder.

"I get, Edward, you're hurting me," I said in a whisper. After a stare down he let go of my hand. Not another word was spoken until we arrived home.

"I can't stand you right now get out of my sight," he said. Gladly, I thought to myself.

I went to our room and changed into some sweats, I wasn't in the mood to be sexy anymore. Just as I was going to lie down and read, my phone rang. It was Alice and Rose; they were on lunch and wanted to make sure that I was okay. Once I told them that I was fine, I asked Rose how things were for her. She said that everything was great! She sounded truly happy, so who was I to judge. After the phone call I settled into my book. I couldn't focus on the words, I was so mad at Edward and I wanted to cry. I didn't want to cry, I wanted to stand my ground and be strong. I wanted to understand why he didn't want me working, but then again I was sure it was bullshit. He said I looked hot in the uniform, I didn't get it. While I was musing in my own head I didn't even know Edward had come into the bedroom and lay on the bed.

"Good book?" he asked. All I did was shrug. "Still not talking to me?" Again I shrug. "Well, I have to head out, I'll be back later," he said as he leaned in for a kiss, I turned my head. "You can't stay mad at me forever," he said playing with my hair. He may be right about that, but I was going to try. "Give me a kiss so I can go," he said as he moved in again. "Give me a kiss!" he said a little louder.

"You made me stay home from school so I could be by myself?" I asked sitting up.

"It wasn't my intentions," he said trying to hold my hand.

"I want to work, and I don't understand why you are being a jerk about it!" I said getting loud.

"Bella," he said as he half glared at me. "You don't understand how beautiful you are, and there is going to be a lot of boys and men there. They will flirt with you and stare, and I don't think I can handle that," he said moving closer to me. "I don't want to fight with you about this," he said as I let him pull me to him.

"Why don't you trust me?"

"I don't trust other people."

"But, I was so excited about working," I said with a pout.

"I know...can I really trust you?"

"Yes...I don't want anyone, but you," I said as he sighed.

"You don't understand..."

"Make me understand," I said as he laid his on his shoulder.

"I'll trust you, but please don't make me regret it," he said.

"Really?"

"Yes, but one fuck up, and I can't promise what my reaction will be. You don't know what I have been through," he said trailing off.

"Tell me," I beg, I wanted to know him.

"Not right now, there isn't enough time," he says still holding me.

"I'll never intentionally hurt you, I'm not some whore," I said turning to look at him so he knew I was serious.

"Baby, you just flirting with someone would piss me off," he said and I looked confused.

"I'm not that girl..."

"A girl is not the only person to make me have trust issues," he told me getting mad.

"If you don't tell me what you mean, I don't know how to not piss you off," I said with pleading eyes.

"I know, but I don't know how to explain it to you."

"Try."

"Bella," he sighed getting flustered. "I love you. I don't think you are like everyone else, but I am going to try to trust you. This is something I haven't done in so long," he said whispering by the end.

"What can I do to make this easier for you?" I asked him as the corner of his mouth pulled up.

"Well, you already do a good job of ignoring all the attention you get from other males, so that's not an issue. When you start working men are going to flirt with you and ask you out, how are you going to handle that?"

"By telling them that I am engaged to be married and that no one will ever be better," I said without missing a beat.

"Will you marry me tomorrow?"

"Yes," I said as he hugged me.

"I always said that if I get married it is going to be for life, and I will never get a divorce," he said as he stared at me, all I could do was smile. "I'll be back in a little while, will you make dinner?"

"Yes, I can do that. What would you like?"

"Spaghetti?"

"Done. Will you pick up a loaf of Italian bread on your way home?"

"Done, I'll be back in a little while," he said leaving the room. I had to laugh when he came back for a kiss. "Do you think that Rose or Alice could get your homework for today and tomorrow?"

"Yeah, but why tomorrow?"

"Were you not listening before?"

"We are really getting married?"

"Yes," he said as I threw my arms around his neck.

"I thought you were joking!" I said as we both laughed. "Okay, go, so you can come back quicker," I said as he gave me the sweetest kiss ever. There was no dominance or possessiveness, there was only love and it was the best.

"I'll be back soon," he said pulling away.

I lay in our bed and thought about what was going to happen the next day, I would be Isabella Cullen. That sounded too weird. I wondered how everything worked with a change of name. Would I still graduate as Isabella Swan? I would have to talk with Edward about all of this over dinner. I still hadn't changed my address yet, it's not like I received any mail, anyway. I called Rose and Alice; they said they were able to get my work. They weren't going to school the next day either. Alice also said that she was moving in with Jasper, I'm sure her parents would have a lot to say about that.

It seemed like time was moving slow, and I wanted Edward to be home. He called before he left to come home and he was short and snippy, he was in a bad mood. I was hoping that I would be able to make him happy when he came home. While the noodles were cooking I went and sat out on the patio. It was chilly out, so I didn't stay out long. As I walked back into the house I heard Edward yell my name.

"I'm right here," I said as I walked into the living room.

"Where were you?"

"On the patio. Why are you freaking out?"

"Just...shut up! Is dinner done yet?"

"Yeah, just give me five minutes. Did you get the bread?"

"FUCK!" he yelled making me jump.

"It's not a big deal," I said walking away from him.

"Don't walk away from me!" he said following me.

"You have zero reason to be so mean to me. I have done nothing," I said pouring out water from the noodles. I glanced over my shoulder to see him pacing the small kitchen. I mixed the sauce with the noodles and set the table. All he kept doing was pacing, he was making me nervous.

"Did you take your pill?"

"No, not yet," I said as I started to eat.

"Make sure that you do."

"I will. Are you going to eat with me?" I asked as he stopped and stared at me. "I missed you," I said with a small smile. He didn't smile back, but his eyes didn't look so angry.

"I'm sorry I forgot the bread," he said as he pulled his chair out to sit.

"Is that why you are so upset? It wasn't a big deal," I said with a chuckle.

"Emmett and Rose are going to be stopping by later on with your school work," he said as I nodded my head. "Alice and Jasper moved in together."

"Yeah I heard," I told him as he hummed a response. "Edward did I do something?"

"No."

"Okay, I was getting nervous," I told him as he gave me his crooked smile.

"I have to get the schedule done before tomorrow. Em said that Rose can have as many days as she wants, and she wants full time. Jasper said that Alice can work one day a week and on the weekends," he told me. I wanted to hear what I was working, but he didn't say anything. I just let the subject drop. He seemed to get in a better mood as the night went on.

"My parents are coming tomorrow," he said.

"That's cool of them. I like them, they're sweet!" I told him as he turned to look at me.

"That's because you are a naive little girl, do your homework," he said as I narrowed my eyes at him. How was I to know anything about them if he didn't tell me? I just rolled my eyes and went back to work. When he was done with the schedule he sat directly behind me and played with my hair. It was so relaxing that I wanted to go to sleep.

"What's the plan for tomorrow and the weekend?" I asked wanting to go to bed, but I still had work to do.

"We have an appointment to be married at ten, my brothers will be there. We are going out to lunch to celebrate, and then I think we are going to Jacob's to spend the rest of the day training the three of you," he said. "For the weekend I know you and I will be working," he said as I grew excited. "Why are you asking?"

"I'm kinda tired, but I still have homework to do. I just wanted to know what the time frame looked like," I said as I continued my math homework.

"Well, Saturday you will be working most of the day and on Sunday you are only working the lunch hour, so you should have time," he said rubbing my shoulders. I leaned back into his hand and closed my eyes as he massaged. "You're so tensed," he said kissing my ear.

"I always feel stressed," I told him as he stopped rubbing and wrapped his arms around my chest. We sat like that for a few minutes before he spoke.

"I love you," he said as I leaned my head up to look at him.

"I love you," I said as we kissed.

"We are getting married tomorrow," he said with a chuckle.

"I know. I will have a lot to do after we are married. When I fill out my tax forms will I write Swan or Cullen?"

"Cullen. We may have time to go get you social security number changed tomorrow. Do you have your card?"

"No, I don't know even know my number," I said as he groaned.

"There is always something. I guess you will have to call your dad in the morning," he said taking my hand pulling me off the floor.

"Do you think he will give it to me?"

"I'll make him," he said as he shut off the lights. "For some reason I think he will give it to you." I thought he was right, but I was nervous to call. I didn't know what time I should call. "And, I am pretty sure that we will need that number for the marriage license," he said as he undressed. I got myself ready and lay down and looked at my ring.

"You need a ring," I said as he lay on my chest.

"I have one. I got it when I got your ring, I have a wedding band for you as well," he said with a sigh. He had thought of everything.

When I opened my eye it was breaking dawn and I felt wide awake. The clock read five in the morning. Edward was still asleep on my chest and I was feeling uncomfortable. I tried to roll over, but he was too heavy. I tried to move his head and when I did he sat up.

"What's wrong?" he asked with sleepy eyes.

"I'm sorry, I was just trying to move," I said getting nervous.

"Oh, okay. Come here," he said pulling me onto his chest. As soon as we were snuggled down I was able to go back to sleep for a while. I woke at seven and took a shower. Edward was still lightly snoring when I came back into the bedroom. I wanted to look nice for the wedding, so I found one of the skirts that Edward had bought me. It was a light khaki color and knee high. I found a light purple blouse to wear, too. I wanted to look nice for him. I combed my hair straight and then did my makeup. Just as I was getting done, Edward walked into the bathroom. I thought that he would have said how nice I looked, but he didn't.

"Morning," I said smiling at him. He didn't look at me.

"Morning," he said shaking himself before stuffing it back in his pants. "Did you call your father yet?" he asked as I stepped out of his way of the sink.

"No, not yet I was working up the courage to call," I told him as he brushed his teeth.

"Well, I think you need to find it so we can be wed," he said as I chuckled.

"Wed? Who say that?" I asked as I laughed.

"Whateve...baby you look great!" he said as his smile spread across his face.

"Took you long enough to notice," I said with a giggle.

"You look perfect for a wedding," he said kissing me quickly. "Now, call Charlie," he said in his final tone.

"What do I say if he asks why?"

"Tell him," he said simply. I nodded as he got into the shower. I took a couple of deep breaths, and then headed for my phone. I dialed the number three times before I could hit send. I felt like I was going to cry. What if he told me no? Like he had so many times before? I guess there was only one way to find out. After three rings he answered.

"Hello?" he asked. He didn't sound like himself.

"Hi, it's Bella," I said taking a shaky breath.

"Hi, are you okay?" he asked full of concern.

"I'm good. I was calling to ask you something," I said feeling braver.

"Yes, go ahead, you can ask me anything."

"Okay, um...I need my social security card," I told him and then held my breath.

"Yeah, I can do that for you. Do you want me to bring it to you?"

"No, I will stop by and get it," I said as we fell into an awkward silence.

"Did you get a job, or something?"

"Um...yeah. I am working for Edward, he owns the new bar and grill that is opening tonight. That and I'm getting married," I said as I pulled the phone away from my ear in case he yelled. When he didn't I put the phone back to my ear.

"Bella," he said with a sigh. "You barely know him, but I know there is nothing I can say. Are you sure?" he asked me.

"Yes, I'm sure about this," I said as he sighed again.

"You can say no, but can I be there?"

"For real?"

"You're my only daughter, I know I was shit for a father, but I want to be there," he said, sounding like he was going to cry.

"It's at the courthouse at ten," I said quickly. "I'll be at your house in a little while for the card."

"I will leave it in the mailbox for you; I have errands to run before ten."

"Oh, I guess we will see then," I said before I hung up. I sat on our bed and was left with no words. He wanted to there for me, which was so weird. I didn't know if I should tell Edward. I didn't want him to be angry with me.

"BELLA!" I heard Edward yell.

"Huh?" I said as I look at him. He was wearing a pair of black dress pants, a white dress shirt un-tucked with a tie. "You look great," I said with a smile.

"You were a million miles away, are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm good. Charlie is going to leave the card in the mailbox," I said breaking eye contact.

"And?" he asked raising his eye brows at me.

"What?"

"There's more," he said as I looked down guilty.

"He wants to be there," I said in a whisper.

"I see," he said kneeling in front of me. "Do you think he will show?"

"I don't know," I said again in a whisper.

"He is not ruining today for us. I won't allow it," he said grabbing my face. "I love you, don't let him bring you down, got it?" he said to me as I smiled.

"Nothing can ruin today," I told him as he laid me back on the bed and kissed me. I loved his kisses. I could kiss him all day. "We don't have time, we need go get married," I said as he stuck his tongue in my mouth. Okay, maybe, we had some time. He pushed my skirt up and he pressed himself against my now hot core. I moved against him and he broke the kiss.

"Tonight is going to be very special," he said pressing himself into me hard. Did he think we were going to have sex? I wasn't ready! Of course he is going to want to have sex we are getting married! "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm good," I said as we stood up. I thought it was cute when he fixed my hair.

"Let's go get married!"
