song - I'll be lovin you long time by Mariah Carey

The last couple of days flew by and I had lost track. No one called me again, i guess Alice told everyone that I was safe with Edward and there was no need to really be worrying. We were together again, i was his and he was mine. It had been so long since we had such claims on eachother. It felt too right. Edward had awoke earlier than me to attend to business. Without me knowing, he had actually took a couple of days off work just to be with me.

That made me a bit worried on his part, but he said it was no big deal. I was actually scheduled to meet with him today at the graphix.inc business. We had to wrap up our deal and he was to make the check out to me and all that stuff. I got ready for work, wearing the business attire that we were suppose to wear and put my hair up. I never really liked putting my hair up but that was Tanya's rules. I just thought it was funny how no one could wear their hair down except for herself. Sounded like a vainity problem to me, but I let it go. I had my other half back and nothing else seemed to matter. I grabbed the brief case and headed out of Edward's house. My audi was already there waiting for me, Edward or Alice's doing most likely. I slid into the driver seat comfortably and drove off towards work. Everything seemed to be fine and in order. Today was monday, I let out a sly sigh as I walked into my office. About an hour or later, there was a knock on the door. I walked over towards the door and opened it to fine very familiar green eyes.

" Hello Mr.Cullen. "

" Miss Swan. "

Edward and I had agreed to keep things a bit more on the professional side today due to Tanya being there. But things happened and eventually we got wrapped up in talking about other things than work. The check was already made out and I placed it in my drawer. I'd have to give it to Tanya after our meeting was complete. I gave Edward an example of what everything would look like. He chuckled softly and nodded.

" Perfect. "

I blushed lightly, there was no hair to create curtains to hide behind so my blush was pretty clear as the sun. I could only avert my eyes. I placed the examples in the brief case and stood up, Edward quickly followed by standing up as well. We walked over towards the door, opened it to find Tanya about to knock. She purred in a voice that clearly sent disgust on mine, but I quickly let it go away before Tanya could pay any attention. Well, not like her attention was actually on me, her eyes seemed to be undressing Edward as she spoke. Someone please slap this woman...or so help me God I'll do it!

" Hello Edward, How are things? Did you change your mind yet? You know, I keep calling but your not picking up. "

" I've been busy with more important things. So Bella, your going to come over after work correct? "

What was he thinking!? I can't believe he just said that. Was he trying to make Tanya jealous? Maybe that's what this whole thing was about... maybe he really didn't care about me like he said. Maybe he was using me to make Tanya get jealous. Well it seemed to be working cause her next statement wasn't actually said in the nicest tone. It actually sounded like she was hissing at us.

" You two know each other?! "

" Yes, since highschool. Bella?... "

" Um... No actually, I haven't hung out with Jacob in a while I don't want him pounding on your door again like last time. "

Oh God... how could I say no to him?! Oh well, it was true.. .oh geez I can't believe I said it like that though. Now Tanya knows I've been in his house and that there's another guy and oh I can't think right now. I saw Edward have a bit of pain in his expression but he only nodded. He didn't even look at Tanya to see her reaction. I watched him walk away and then Tanya sent a glare my way.

" Your not to be working with him anymore, He can complete the rest of the transaction with me. Keep it professional Bella, I can't believe your sleeping with clients. "

" What?! I don't appreciate you assuming stupid things like that Tanya. "

I spat her name as if it was something gross sounding. Though my attitude didn't sit to well with her since she ended up suspending me from work for the rest of the week. Now I really wouldn't be able to see Edward at work. Not to mention I told him no in front of her. Ugh... Could things get any worse? Why did I even ask, knowing my luck I'll get hit by a bus or something. I walked out of the building, taking down my hair. To my surprise Edward was leaning against my Audi.

" Did she fire you?... "

" No, just suspended me for the week... "

" I heard the yelling when I was leaving. I can't believe she would assume stupid things like that. "

" Well, I don't blame her, i assumed it in the beginning too...remember? "

" Yeah, but that's different.. "

" No it's not, people that dont now you can only assume such things. "

" But you know me Bella... i haven't changed from who I was five years ago. "

" I know that now, I'm just happy my assumtion was wrong. "

I flashed him a smile which seemed to relax the tension that he had, he opened his arms and I leaned in hugging him. One of his hands was on the back of my head and the other was on my shoulder. A comforting hold. It soothed me all too well. I was able to hear his beating heart, it sounded like it was beating faster than what it was suppose to. Nervous maybe?

" Are you okay Edward?... Your heart's beating really fast.. "

" It's because of you.. "

" Me?..."

" Do you really not see the effect you have on me? "

" I'm clueless. "

" I have to constantly remind my own self to breath. "

" oh "

My mouth made the same of an 'o' which sent him chuckling. It felt nice knowing that it wasn't just a one sided effect. But what did I possibly possess to make him so nervous around me? I was normal and plain. I'm surprised that Tanya didn't have that stupid effect on him. I decided to throw her out of my head and focus on the young man that had his arms around me.

" So your going to hang out with that guy, Jacob? "

" No... I'm just going to call him. "

" You said that because of Tanya?... "

" Yeah, but who cares... "

" Exactly, who cares what people think of us. They can make all the assumptions they want, it doesn't matter to me. "

Eventually I got into my audi and he got into his Vanquish. It suddenly clicked in my head... that one time when I got im'd from that stupid online dating thing... That was him!? Oh my... Well at least I know that a vanquish was a car after all. I could of been in his arms days before our actual meeting if I had bothered to read what he had been typing! Now I feel really stupid. I shrugged it off since I'm assuming Edward didn't bother with that site now that he had me again.. at least I hoped he didn't bother with it anymore. Eventually I followed him to where he lived and we walked hand in hand towards his front door. But to our surprise when we had walked in, there was someone there...
