I hope everyone is having really great father's day! My dad and I, plus my sister Evelyn and my fiancée Jensen are watching Twilight together! It is majorly funny, because my dad was like yelling at the screen. I'm going to make this chapter a longer one to make up for the last two being so short!

Edward is an idiot. He can't even muster up the courage to tell me he's sorry for all that happened?
When he had kissed me in the storage closet, my body was screaming at me to forgive him and forget everything. But I'm not stupid. Edward is a player, nothing more. His while love life focuses on one night stands and getting laid, and that's not the kind of person I am. Jacob can take care of me; stand by my side. He's the one that is right for me.
Then why am I aching for Edward?
He's like the fantasy, the desire. And Jacob is the reality, the solid, stable guy. We had been going out together for the last two weeks, but the spark just isn't there. With Edward, it was like a bolt of lightning through my body.
"Hey beautiful." Jacob had come up behind me, placing his hands on my waist. I jumped, feeling guilty.
"Hey." I murmured, kissing his lips softly.
"Are you ready to go?" He asked, dropping his patient charts on the desk. Suddenly Edward appeared, his head down, with his eyes glued to the clipboard clenched in his hand. I could tell he was listening.
"Definitely." I breathed, pulling him in for a deeper kiss. Edward's eyes burned into mine, his face was livid.
Jealous much?
"Uh, ok…. I'll go bring the car around." Jacob stuttered, flustered. I watched him wake away and suddenly Edward was clutching my arm.
"Bella, can we please talk?" He asked, his green eyes pleading. I yanked my arm away.
"Are you going to say it?" I hissed.
"I am sorry." Edward breathed, and I could tell he meant it.
So why didn't it make me feel any better? Our eyes fixed for a split second and I felt my knees go weak.
"Edward, I can't do this." I whispered, balling my fists.
"Bella, please. I want to be with you!" Edward murmured, lightly stroking my cheek. "For real." He added in a whisper.
"I'm with Jacob. And you and I have nothing to say to each other now." I said firmly, but didn't flinch away from his touch.
Edward's hand dropped from my face and he frowned.
"We're going to talk about this eventually." He whispered in my ear, kissing my earlobe softly. I squeezed my eyes shut and smiled. Suddenly, he was gone.

"I'm with Jacob."
How could Bella be with someone else? Sure, I'd been with way to many women, but I didn't care about any of them. Did Bella honestly care about Jacob that much?" I drove home, knowing Emmet, Rosalie, Jasper, and maybe even Alice would be waiting to hear if I had apologized to Bella. Sure enough, as I pulled into the winding driveway, I saw the family room light on and could just make out Emmet's unmistakable, bulky silhouette next to Alice's dainty one through the ceiling to floor window.
I walked in the house, dumping my keys on the entry way table and discarding my coat. I've developed these unimportant habits over the years, and after living in this house since infancy, it always felt perfectly familiar. I didn't understand how my parents could have this beautiful mansion, but choose to live 30 miles away in a different, smaller home. I couldn't imagine leaving this place.
At least, not yet. Maybe later in my life, if things worked out.
Emmet ambushed me the second I strolled into the family room, tackling me onto the couch.
"Did you do it?" He asked, climbing off of me. I popped my neck and grimaced.
"Yeah." I murmured, popping my neck again and cracking my thumb simply by bending it.
"Ew." Rosalie sniffed delicately and I cracked all my fingers, one by one, in her face.
"Dude, what happened?" Emmet asked excitedly, swatting my hand out of Rosalie's face.
"She said that she's with Jacob now." I explained, my eyes cast downward. "But I need to talk to her. It's important." Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Alice's head snap up.
"What, did you find out about some disease?" She snapped, obviously resenting me for what I had put Bella through- in the past.
"Oh, Alice." I chided, rolling my eyes. "There are ways to prevent STD's. Just ask Jasper!" Alice scooted away from Jasper and he glared at me.
"Thanks a lot." He mouthed, and I shrugged.
"I call 'em like I see 'em." I smirked, taking a beer out of the mini fridge end table.
Rosalie was studying me, her face screwed up in concentration.
"Edward, are you going to try and win Bella over?" She asked, finally looking away from me to grab a beer for herself and Emmet.
"Yes." I said shortly, taking another sip. "I will get Bella to forgive me." I swore.
I don't care what it takes. I want Bella.

The next day, I noticed that a lot of my co-workers were staring at me. Self-consciously, I ran my hands through my hair, picked at my teeth, examined my outfit, and checked for body odor. Nothing out of the ordinary.
So why were people staring at me so….curiously? Trying to shake off the paranoid feeling, I walked into my first patient's room. Luckily, Edward had today off so I wouldn't have to face a confrontation.
Ms. Hart was asleep, and a note tied very loosely around her IV. I took it off carefully, trying not to dislodge the needle.
I unfolded the note and my heart overreacted, pounding wildly.
-----
Bella-
I know you don't want to talk to me, but I'm not giving up. Meet me tonight at my house, we need to talk.
Edward
-----
Frustrated, I crumpled up the note and threw it away.
Every single room I went to, a note was hidden somewhere.
-----
Bella-
I figured you would ignore the first note. My house, tonight after your shift.
Edward
-----
Bella-
I know you're just throwing these away; trust me, I had a lot of time last night. At least recycle. Be at my house tonight as soon as your shift is over.
Edward
-----
Bella-
You can't ignore all of these. If you're not at my place tonight, you will have notes EVERYWHERE. I don't have anything to do at night anymore.
Edward
-----
I was starting to get angry, and I crushed each note in my hand and threw them away. Edward was reading my thoughts perfectly. How the hell did he know me so well?
I was in my final patient's room and saw no sign of a note. I happily changed into my regular clothes and left the hospital as soon as my shift was over, planning to have a quiet night at home. There was no way I was going to the Masen's house tonight. I got into my car and groaned.
A huge, oversized sticky note was stuck to the gearshift.
-----
Bella-
Please meet me tonight.
Edward
-----
Rolling my eyes, I crumbled the note and threw it in the backseat, fuming.
How dare he! How dare Edward act so cute now that I have convinced myself to stay away from him!
I got home, opened the door to my apartment, and gasped.
At least 500 long stemmed red roses waited for me, scattered around my apartment. No surface was left open. Even the couch was piled high with beautiful flowers. Tears starting to stream down my cheeks, and I stalked to my bedroom, desperate to get away from Edward's sweetness.
Even more flowers were in my room, along with a note.
-----
Bella-
I knew you would ignore me. But Bella, I want to be with you. For real. No casual sex, no other women. Just me and you. Come on, let's give it a shot. For old times sake. Jasper and Alice are staying at my parent's place tonight, and Rosalie took Emmet with her to NYC for some photo shoot. We'll be all alone, and we can really talk.
I'll be waiting for you.
Edward
-----
I immediately knew my choice.
Okay, so I managed to make this one longer. My dad, Evelyn, and Jensen have been watching all the Twilight Special features, so I managed to get this chapter updated. I hope you enjoy, I tried to anser questions you guys had throughout this chapter.

I hope everyone is having a very happy Father's Day!
