I barely had any classes the next day, Tuesday's were always the days were I had more free time than actual classes, so I headed to Rosalie's house to pick something out to wear. Rose was off on Tuesdays all together which meant she could help me prepare for that night.

I called on my way to my truck but it went straight to voice mail.

I pulled up and noticed a strange car in her drive way so I worryingly ran into the house calling out for her. I didn't hear anything from the ground floor so I headed to the stairs. After hearing noise so I decided to go check her room. Big mistake.

I got to the top of the stairs to see Emmett pinning Rosalie up against the wall beside her bedroom door, both butt naked and going at it like rabbits.

"JESUSFUCKINGCHRIST." I shouted, slapping my hand over my eyes and running downstairs and out to my car as fast as I could. I sat there trying not to vomit for a couple of minutes before Rose appeared at my car door and pulled it open.

"You could have called!"

"I did! You were obviously too busy... I shouted when I got in the house and everything!" I defended.

"Yeah well, I didn't hear you." She said, trying to decided whether she should laugh or shout.

"Really though Rose... You couldn't have made it to your bedroom?" I cringed.

"Really though Bella... You couldn't have waited until we'd finished before you disturbed us. I was all for finishing off but Em thought it was little weird." She smirked.

"Urgh!" I slammed my hands over my ears and proceeded to yell "La la la la" like a five year old.

"Hey why haven't you called us back? We've been worried sick!" She demanded.

"Yeah sure looks like it!" I raised an eyebrow.

She giggled a little before saying "You seen the article then?"

"Yeah," I sighed.

"And?"

"I'm not really sure how I feel about it to be honest Rose... It's weird. We haven't even spoke about what this means, whether its a relationship or just a little bit of fun, yet its splashed out there for the public to see. I just really hope Charlie doesn't see any of it, the man would have a heart attack!" I said.

It had only just occurred to me that if things progressed I would have to introduce Charlie to Edward. Jesus.

The man still hadn't gotten over my break up with Tyler! Charlie was Tyler's biggest fan, he was all 'he's a good boy Bells, he's going far in this world and he'll always treat you well, keep hold of him' and all that nonsense. Charlie didn't know jack shit.

"Well I highly doubt Edward would risk the press for just a little bit of fun! Maybe you should ask him?"

"Well actually that's what I came over for. He's invited me to dinner at his place tonight and I have nothing to wear..." I trailed off, knowing she would get what I was hinting at.

"Well come on then, we'll find something!" She said before heading back to the house.

Just as I was heading into the house when Emmett stepped out, suit wrinkled and a huge grin plastered on his face.

"So Bella, what d'ya think of my buns of steel?" He winked.

"Urgh!" I said, my face heating up. "God Emmett, really?"

"Hey, don't be getting agitated little miss, you're the one that cockblocked me remember?" He laughed.

"Goodbye Emmett." I said storming into the house to a laughing Rosalie.

We had a lovely afternoon together, trying on clothes and talking about boys like lovesick teenagers. It was fun and I really enjoyed the quality girl time, but I couldn't wait to see Edward again. I had text him and told him to pick me up from Rose's house, so I got ready in the company of my girls as they tried to get as much information out of me about our sex life.

I was ready for 7 with all of my stuff to stay over night as he requested and I ran down the steps of Rosalie's porch to his car before he had even put it in park and dived in his car.

"Well hello sweetheart," He laughed as I leant over and kissed him.

"Hi." I said a little shyly.

We chatted about how each others days went as we drove for a little while. Edward had just finished work and said his house keeper had made us dinner. I wasn't too bothered that he didn't have chance to make it himself, he was a very busy man and I understood that.

We pulled up to a beautiful and reasonable sized apartment building where a man was waiting to take the Aston and park it in the secured under ground car park, before Edward lead me to the elevator and pressed for the top floor, hand still on my lower back.

We arrived in a lovely foyer with dark wood floors and white walls with a large solid wood door, Edward opened the door with his keys and lead me inside to a small area where he took my coat to hand up.

We walked straight into a large open plan area of a kitchen, diner and living room space with some floor to ceiling windows looking out onto a beautiful view of Seattle. It was all modern with white walls and beautiful oak flooring. The kitchen had a monochrome theme with everything being black, silver and grey. There was a lady around 50 stood at the kitchen work top with an apron on, and she turned to greet Edward.

"Good Evening Mr Cullen. Dinner is ready, it just needs to be served, desert is in the fridge and everything you asked for today had been prepared."

"Hello Mary, thank you very much for all your help. Isabella, this is my wonderful housekeeper Mary."

"It's wonderful to meet you Isabella, have a lovely evening." Mary smiled warmly at me.

"You too." I said genuinely before Mary collected her things and left.

"So would you like something to drink?" Edward asked, walking over to a large cupboard that oepend out into a large wine rack.

"Yeah sure, I'll have what you're having."

I watched as Edward poured us a glass of white wine each before handing me it. Now I may not know alcohol very well but I know an expensive wine when I taste one, it was delicious.

"Mmmm, this is really good, thank you."

"You're welcome," He chuckled before pulling out a chair at the table and gesturing for me to sit and I complied. He walked over to the stove and began to plate up our dinner of chicken breast in a creamy white wine sauce with fresh asparagus and garlic roast potatoes.

We ate in a comfortable silence for a little while just enjoying the food and company before Edward placed down his fork and began asking about me.

"I always feel like I don't know near enough about you Isabella. Tell me everything you're willing to tell me." He smiled affectionately at me and returned eating.

"Urm, well... I don't really know what to say. I'm originally from Forks, my parents split when I was a small child and my mother now lives in Jacksonville after a long stint in Phoenix she remarried a younger guy, Phil, he's a minor league baseball player. I lived with my dad the majority of my life, he's the police chief of our town, he married his best friends wife a couple of years after he died." I paused, laughing at Edward's slightly shocked face.

"Yeah I know... But really, they're great together and I know Harry would be happy for them. My step-mother Sue, she has two kids so I got a big sister, Leah she's 23 and a little brother, Seth, he's 15. I adore them both lik-" I stopped when I looked up to see Edward's face slightly distort. "What's wrong?" I asked.

He looked up at me then, frowning as if he were deep in thought. "Uh, you said Leah was like your big sister... but she's only 23..." He trailed off in a question.

"Um, yeah." I said. He seemed shocked by this, did he not know how old I was? He said Emmett had told him about me so surely he wouldn't have missed out me being 19? Come to think about it, I didn't even know Edward's age.

I looked at him again and he was staring right at me, his gaze making me feel slightly uncomfortable. He cleared his throat and placed his fork down again, sitting straighter before clearing his throat again, as if there was something stuck there.

He took a deep breath before looking at me again, deadly gaze and all. He spoke so deep and low I had to concentrate to hear him. "Isabella, how old are you?" His eyes were flickering with emotion and I felt my heart begin to speed up. Would he be bothered by my age? How old did he think I was?

I suddenly found it hard to speak, I looked down at my lap and removed my napkin placing it on my pretty much untouched plate. There was no way I'd be able to eat after this conversation.

"Nineteen." I said quietly, not looking at him. I wasn't sure why I was so scared to tell him, I just was.

I heard his breath catch in his throat and dared to look up at his face. He seemed to be frozen in place just staring at the candle in the middle of the table, body totally frigid.

"Ni-ninet-teen?" He stuttered.

Shit.

Um... Yeah, sorry! I'll update in a day depending on response!

See you sooooooooooon!
