I look at Bella who is sitting on the shower floor next to me.

"We need to stop or we're never going to get out of this room."

Bella chuckles a little. "Yeah, I've never done that three times in a row before."

"Four, if you count last night," I counter.

Bella grins at me and I can see the blush on her face. "Okay, four, are you ready to see my town now?"

I nod at her and jump up, pulling her up with me. I pull her to me and kiss her. I groan when I start to get hard again.

"Fuck, quick dry off and get dressed. Maybe he'll go away." Bella looks down to my cock shaking her head.

She bends down and I swear she's going to give me head again. "You'd think that you never get out to play, with the way that you're behaving. Was Edward mean to you and grounded you?"

I chuckle slapping her ass. "Careful or you'll be grounded for the next few weeks."

She laughs at me cheekily and heads off to find clothes. Soon Bella and I are dressed and she directs me to the local diner for a late lunch.

"This was one of my dad's favorite places. It doesn't sell beer, but he did like the food and most of his buddies were here."

I look around seeing that it's a nice little place.

"Bella, dear, I heard you were back."

I look to the old woman that seems happy to see Bella.

"Yes, but we're heading home later today. Tia, this is Edward."

Tia looks to me and gives a warm smile.

"Her boyfriend," I say with a wink at Bella as I shake the woman's hand.

"Oh, well, I do hope you know how lucky you are to have such a lovely girl."

I chuckle a little. "Believe me, I know."

"You better take good care of my girl or else."

"I will, I promise."

"Good, now what are you having?"

"Two large breakfasts and two coffees please," Bella says.

Tia writes it down and walks away.

"She seems nice."

"Yes, she is. She sort of took care of my dad when he was here. She's like the town mom."

"As much as I think she's nice, she's not sexy like my waitress at Raising the Steaks."

Bella looks up at me through her eyelashes. "You know you already got laid, a lot. There's no longer any need to butter me up. After last night and this morning, I would give it to you anywhere; hell I would even let you have your way with me right here."

"Don't tease me or I may really take you up on that. Besides, I'm not buttering you up; I'm just telling you how things are."

Since we came here, I've been noticing that I seem to tell Bella whatever crosses my mind. I've told her how I feel a lot more, and oddly those feelings of finding her sexy have increased tenfold lately.

Tia comes back and puts down our breakfast and coffee. We eat breakfast and Bella points out some of the town's older people.

"Okay, where to next?" I say handing her my car keys. In the end, Bella shows me the police station, school, and her old house that now has a new family living in it. Lastly, we go to the cemetery where her parents are laid to rest.

"This is my mom and dad. Mom, Dad, this is my friend Edward," she says as she sits in the grass next to the joint headstone. I sit behind her and keep my arm around her as she talks away to them. She tells them everything that's been happening in the past few months for her.

After Bella is done, we head back to the hotel collecting our bags and checking out.

"I was thinking that as we don't need to pick up the pups until tomorrow, you could stay at mine, or I could come over to your place?" I say questioningly not wanting our time together to stop.

"I would like that," Bella say, biting her lip.

I take her hand kiss it, placing our joined hands on my lap.

"I'll come to your place. I'll just stop home and pick up my uniform."

Bella nods at me. "Yeah, you start at six tomorrow morning, right?"

"Yeah," I say with a pout.

"That means once I make sure you're all fed, I can go back to bed."

"What are you planning on feeding me?"

Bella looks at me chuckling. "Food," she deadpans but then gives me a smile.

I pull up outside my apartment building. "You know you are free to still stay at my place, too, even if I am not there."

"Okay," Bella says with a smile.

"Do you want to stay here or come up with me?"

"I'll stay here and sleep."

I chuckle and kiss her. "I'll only be a few minutes."

"Oh, just leave your clothes in the back and I'll wash them for you tomorrow."

I look at her and she opens one of her eyes.

"What? You don't have a washer, I do and this will save you a trip to the Laundromat."

"If you're sure?"

"Yes, I'm sure, now go and get your sexy uniform and come on, my bed's calling for us. Can't you hear it?"

"Yes, ma'am," I say as I closing the car door. It only takes me a few minutes to check over my apartment, pick up my uniform and check the mail. Before you know it, I'm back out to the car.

"It's just me," I say softly to Bella as I get in and she stirs. "Come on, let's get you home."

I drive to Bella's house and by the time I get there, Bella is sound asleep again. I grab her purse and our bags and open her front door. I sit all the bags down before heading back out and picking up a sleeping Bella and carrying her in and up to her room.

"Edward?"

"Shush, you're home, give me time to lock up and I'll come help you get ready for bed," I say softly in her ear.

"I'm too heavy for you to carry," Bella mumbles out.

"Bella, I've been bench pressing two-fifty for a long time. You're fine and besides, you're already in your bed."

I move out of her room and lock my car and then lock up her house. When I get back to Bella's room she's right where I left her.

"Okay, let's get out of these clothes," I say softly and I strip her to her panties and pull the covers over her. I then strip, leaving only my boxers on and set her alarm before climbing in bed behind her. Within seconds, I'm sound asleep with Bella wrapped in my arms.

The alarm wakes me a little after half past four. "Get a shower and I'll make your breakfast," Bella says yawning as she turns off the alarm.

"You don't have to, you can just sleep."

"No, I am good to get up."

Bella kisses me softly and walks out of the room. I chuckle shaking my head as I make my way to her bathroom.

When I'm ready, I join Bella in the kitchen. She's not only made breakfast, but has a pot of coffee done and the first load of washing on.

"What would you like for lunch?" she asks as she sits my coffee down.

"Anything," I say and Bella nods at me.

"You keep this up and I may never leave," I say with a chuckle.

"Yeah, you will, I know you like your space."

I swallow hearing the small amount of hurt that she's trying so hard to hide.

I stand up and walk to her. "Bella," I say with a sigh, "we need to talk about this." I wave my hand between us.

"We're friends, who were seeking human contact between and with each other. I know it's more than fuck buddies, but what you give me now is really all you're able to give. It's fine, I accept that. I knew that before I slept with you, Edward."

I give her a small smile. "I wish I could give you more, but ..."

"Your job comes first; it's your life and has been for almost twenty years."

I nod at her a little. "I don't want to lose your friendship. Bella, that means too much to me—you are important to me. I care for you a great deal. Please, if your heart is overly invested in this, tell me now because I couldn't stand it if it was and I end up hurting you," I say softly as I take her face in my hands.

"You won't, you told me where I stand, Edward. And rest assured, if it changes, I will let you know."

I bob my head at her. "I better get going," I say knowing I need to head off to work.

"Okay, give me three minutes to finish making your lunch."

I let her go and head back to the table finishing my coffee and breakfast.

"I'll come over when I am done at work."

Bella nods at me, but looks tired.

"Okay, go back to bed," I say kissing her on her soft pillowy lips.

"Thanks for lunch," I say and then I kiss her again.

"You going to be late if you keep kissing me," she mumbles out between kisses.

I smile kissing her lips one last time. "Okay, I'm off, I'll see you tonight," I kiss her again as she chuckles at me.

I wave to her as I get in my car. As soon as I drive off, I feel a fight inside me to just drive back and give her one last kiss. I have no idea what in the hell has gotten into me. These last few days have been amazing, but I just don't have time for relationships.

A/N: So what are your thoughts?
