The response to last chapter was mind blowing. for those who were shocked that Laurent came back in that chapter, you have I'mwithwithvampires08 to thank for that.

I could definitely use some thoughts on this chapter. Parts I loved, parts I didn't so much. Please let me know. I'm not beyond begging.

Be warned: this Edward is different from the last chapter. Interpret that as you wish…things get a little dirty here.

Geek squad's doing pretty well and I would just love to see it go past the first round. I know in the beginning I thought I wouldn't care about getting votes. But votes equal reviews kinda in my mind. And we all know what a review whore I am. So seriously, show some love my friends!

EPOV

I woke up with a smile on my face, happy at how the previous day's events had unfolded. I rolled over in my bed, arm stretched out to take hold of the beauty sleeping next to me. But my hand touched only bare sheets, cool as if Bella had gotten up some time ago.

"Bella?" I called out to her, hoping she had merely gotten up to use the bathroom attached to my room. But there was no answer.

My lids slid open and my eyes began scanning my room for any trace of my love. Where is she? I got up and walked towards my door. Maybe she got hungry and went upstairs. I opened the door and heard the soft tinkling sound of random piano keys being struck. When I got closer to my piano, there Bella sat, a vision in my NU shirt. It was so large on her that the collar came down to the side and exposed the soft pale skin of her neck and shoulder.

She hadn't heard my approach from behind. As I got nearer, I saw her hunch her shoulders over as if in frustration as her fingers repetitively tapped the ivories beneath them. Bella was sitting as close to the piano as possible, bottom resting on the edge of the bench, probably trying to reach the pedals she didn't even know how to use. So as quiet as I could, I snuck up behind her, placing a hand on her shoulder as I sat behind her, pulling her on my lap.

"Bella." I whispered in her ear.

Her body, tense at first from surprise, instantly relaxed at the feel of my body against hers and my voice in her ear.

"Edward." She sighed out my name.

"What are you doing out here?"

"I couldn't sleep anymore but I didn't want to wake you."

"Why not? I can't think of a better way to wake up, lying next to the most beautiful woman I know." I leaned in to breathe her in. her heady scent made my mouth water, saliva pooling around my tongue. I buried my nose in her hair, content to stay there as long as she'd let me. "I love you in my clothes. It's so very sexy." I growled on her skin, making her tremble on top of me.

"Well…I'm sorry I didn't wake you. If I had known this would be your reaction…I just thought I'd come out here and entertain myself, try to figure out how you can play this thing." Her bottom lip puckered out as her fingers fumbled around, trying to pick out a familiar tune. I couldn't resist her full pouty lips. I leaned in and claimed them as mine. I didn't linger long though, knowing the awkward angle her neck was making was bound to hurt soon.

"Do you want me to teach you a song?" I placed a long kiss on the side of her neck.

"Sure." Her voice sounded controlled, as if holding back something.

"Here, put your hands on top of mine." I brought my arms out to either side of her, longing to stop there so they could wrap tightly against her body. But they stayed in front of me, resting on the familiar keys. Bella's soft, small hands lay on top of mine.

"I'm ready. Show me, please, how your fingers work their magic." I smiled at her words, remembering the "magic" my fingers created with her sweet tight pussy last night.

I moved my fingers slowly, tapping out a simple "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" melody. Bella's fingers did not move as easily, trying to stick close to mine at all costs. After several attempts, she moved them with mine smoothly.

"Do you think you can try it on your own?" I pulled my hands away, leaving Bella slightly panicked. "Don't worry love, you can do it."

"I love that you call me that." She pressed her back into my chest more, resting her head back on my shoulder.

"Call you what?"

"Love. You've been saying it for awhile now, even before you told me you loved me. I don't think you even realized you were saying it. But I love it." I could hear the smile in her voice. She was right. I hadn't realized that I was letting that term of endearment slip even before my declaration of love for her.

"Well, I'm glad you love it. Because I plan on calling you 'love' as often and as long as you'll let me." I could only hope that would be forever.

"Ok, I think I can try it on my own now." She replied with a slight flush to her beautiful cheeks.

She began to slowly move her fingers, imitating what I had just shown her. As she gained more and more confidence, I noticed her speed pick up and a huge toothy grin replace the look of concentration.

"You're a natural." I kissed the exposed skin of her shoulder, allowing my tongue to dart out and taste her skin. When I did, she faltered and missed a note.

"Edward! You made me mess up." She pouted again.

"My apologies love." But as she resumed her playing, I let my mouth wander again, nibbling at as much skin as I could reach. When that wasn't enough, I pulled down the collar of my shirt, exposing more of her heavenly collarbone. I bent my head forward, wanting to reach that spot on her that drove her crazy.

"Edward…Don't start something you can't finish."

"And who said I planned on stopping before I finished?"

Bella moaned loudly, a sound that made my dick jump in my pants. I loved hearing her noises. They drove me to the brink of insanity. As I continued sucking on her sweet flesh, my hands traveled down to her knees. I grabbed hold of her, pressing her back into me even harder. I let my hands trail up her heavenly legs, pulling up the shirt as I went. Inch by glorious inch her creamy thighs were exposed to me.

As I got nearer to her core, my hands moved inward to the place I so desperately wanted to touch. When my fingers made contact with her slippery wet folds, I gasped in surprise.

"No underwear this morning, Miss Swan?" She turned to look me in the eye.

"No. I didn't see a need for it actually." She was biting down on her full bottom lip, seducing me without even trying.

"And why did you see no need for your underwear?" One eyebrow raised of its own accord, giving her my sexiest smirk.

"Why would I wear it if we're just going to be busy fucking all morning?" She gave me a wicked smile as I groaned. It was such a turn on to hear her use the word fuck so casually. She had no idea what that one word did to me.

"You better not be teasing, love, because I'm ready to go right now." I lifted up off the bench slightly to emphasize my point.

"I know." Again that sexy smile twinkled in front of me. "Good thing you didn't bother covering up, or there'd be more clothes in the way." I looked down at myself and realized I was only wearing a pair of navy blue boxer briefs. She had a point. Less clothes meant more time spent having my way with Bella.

"Stand up, love." My voice was gruff, lust choking up my throat.

"Ok." Bella whispered, eyes fluttering closed. As she stood I kept hold of her shirt, pulling it up farther on her body, exposing her perfectly rounded ass to me. I wanted to grab hold, but first the shirt had to go. "Arms up." She raised them high above her head and I removed the oversized obstacle that kept her hidden from me. "Your ass Bella, god it's perfect." I let my hands come back to her cheeks, massaging them lightly before I drew my right hand back and slapped one cheek had.

"Ooh!" Bella let out a squeal.

"You like that Bella? You like it rough?" It sounded like she tried to speak but nothing came out, so she just nodded her head weakly. My left hand went from her ass to her head, finding her hair to tangle my fingers in. I tugged her hair, pulling her head back and tilting it to face me. "Answer me when I ask you a question. Now I said, do you like it rough?"

"Yes, Edward." She panted out. Her eyes were glazed over, completely lusting for this new side of me she'd never seen.

"That's what I thought." I smirked and smacked her ass again, noticing her cheek start to redden under my hand. "It makes you wet, doesn't it love? When I spank you?" I smacked again, then brought my hand between her thighs, already feeling her pussy juices running down her legs. "Fuck, you're dripping for me. Spread those legs for me baby." She did as I commanded, whimpering at my rough husky voice.

I could just make out the hint of her pink pussy lips from where I sat behind her. But I wanted a better view. My left hand trailed from her hair to her upper back, pushing down so she would be bent over and splayed before my eyes. Bella's hands came crashing down on the piano keys to steady herself. The discordant noise was the sweetest music I'd ever heard.

"That's it love. Mmm. You smell so good." I inhaled deeply, loving the smell of her arousal. "You taste even better though." I stood up and roughly shoved two fingers into her heated core, a loud moan emitting from Bella's throat. I pulled them out, marveling at the glistening juices coating them. I desperately wanted to suck them off, but brought my fingers in front of Bella's face. "I want you to taste yourself, see how fucking delicious you are." I thrust my fingers into her mouth before she could respond.

"Mmm…" Her eager tongue lapped her own juices from my fingers. God that sound.

I dropped to my knees, resting between her open legs. I looked up and saw heaven in those velvet pink folds.

"Bella, I'm going to fuck that pretty little cunt of yours with my tongue and you're going to scream my name." I smirked, then drove my tongue into her entrance.

"Oh my god Edward!"

I continued drilling her with my tongue. Her taste was so fucking delicious, like warm smooth honey drizzled on my tongue. And her moans were so fucking intense, like thunder booming overhead.

Her legs were shaking, about to give in on her from the fierceness of the orgasm about to hit her. Before she could buckle under the pressure, I wrapped an arm around each leg, hoisting her up a bit. The force of my movement slammed her tits into the keys, adding more beautiful noise to the symphony of her delicious sounds.

"I'm s-s-so cl-cl-close Edward."

I burrowed my face into her soft pussy, using my chin to rub against her clit.

"Edward! Fuck Edward!" Bella screamed out as she climaxed, juices running down my chin as I tried to drink it all down. When the flow slowed down and I had glutted on her taste sufficiently, I stood up behind her, allowing my erection to press into her back side.

"Are you ready for my cock Bella?" I didn't give her the chance to speak. I found her entrance and thrust into her awaiting pussy.

"Uhh, I love how tight you are." Bella's moans filled my ears, making me lose all sense of control. I had been gentle and sweet last night while making love to her. But now it was time to fuck her senseless. I wanted her to be sore by the time I was done with her.

"Fuck, Edward! Harder, please, harder!" I loved that she was begging for a pounding. I don't know how I didn't split her tight little body in two with the force of my thrusts.

I was getting close, but I wanted her to come again.

"Bella love, touch yourself. Reach down and play with that beautiful clit of yours." She quickly obeyed me, slipping one of her tiny hands between her legs to flick and squeeze her sensitive nub.

My hands, which were on her hips previously, traveled up to her perfect, luscious tits. I grabbed onto them, using them as handles to pull her body back onto me harder. Our bodies slammed into each other, skin slapping against skin making us both feverish for more. I felt my balls swing up with every thrust, hitting her hand. Bella's crafty hand pleasured herself while also grabbing onto my boys, squeezing them to add to the intense feelings I was already experiencing.

"More Edward. I need more!"

With those words, my fingers found her hardened nipples, pinching and twisting them. I could almost feel the pleasure pass through her body as she began trembling violently.

"Edward!" she screamed my name, cumming hard and coating me with that amazing cream of hers. Her tight walls clamped down on me, milking my cock and bringing me to the most intense release I'd ever felt.

"Shit." I groaned out, not wanting the feeling to end. I shook while I pumped into her faster, letting every last drop of my cum coat her insides.

When I pulled out, I sunk to the ground, completely exhausted, taking Bella with me.

"God Edward, that was…"

"Fucking fantastic?" I finished for her.

"Understatement of the century." She gave me a tired smile, the corners of her mouth having trouble lifting fully.

I heard the door at the top of the stairs open and footsteps on the stairs. I quickly stretched out to grab my shirt and underwear so Bella and I would at least be covered up. I could give a flying fuck who saw us like this, but I knew Bella would be embarrassed to be so exposed in front of my family.

"Dude, it reeks of sex down he…" Emmett trailed off as he took in our haggard appearance. "Oh I get it. It's ok for you to fuck on the piano but not me. So fucking not fair!" Emmett stormed away, clearly enraged.

"Well, it is my piano after all." I gave Bella the crooked smile I knew she loved best.

"Why don't we take a nap between fuck sessions, hm?" Bella's smile grew as we headed back to my room.

BPOV

For the next week, Edward and I only emerged from our rooms for classes. We had a lot of catching up to do in our opinion. We had a few close calls with friends walking in on us. Luckily our loud cries always warned them of what we were up to before they got close enough to actually see what exactly we were doing.

Sex with Edward was beyond amazing. I had reached some sort of sexual ascension. When I was with Laurent, everything was so rushed and I wondered if I'd ever truly enjoy it. I knew Edward would be different. He showed me it was not just enjoyable, but crave-able as well. And that's what I did, crave it, him. We were insatiable.

It wasn't just enjoying the earth shattering orgasms either. Something about the way he fit me, like God had cast us from the same mold. As if we weren't complete until he was inside me, filling my void. We became one being, our souls stretching through the boundaries our bodies created, enveloping each others' essence. I loved him with every cell of my body. I breathed him in like he was much needed oxygen to my brain. And it scared the shit out of me. I would be hopeless without him. and I felt like, inevitably, he'd move on to bigger and better things. And when he eventually left, Bella as I knew her now would no longer exist. There'd simply be an empty shell of me left.

But with each kiss and sweet embrace, every whispered "I love you," and all the shared touches of pleasure reassured my fearful heart, at least for now. I had mouthed the word "forever" to Edward outside his house on Thanksgiving and I meant it. even if he moved on, he'd hold my heart forever.

--

It was now December and it had turned bitterly cold. I had never experienced anything like Chicago's wind chill. How is it possible for it to feel like negative degrees?! I thought that I would definitely miss Arizona at times like these. I was partially right. Walking to class was torture, especially since we were right off Lake Michigan. But there were times I embraced the cold. Like at night, when Edward and I cuddled together as close as possible to keep warm. or stripping down under the covers and enjoying the heated friction our bodies created while we made love to each other passionately.

Unfortunately December also meant finals. They loomed in the distance like dark heavy clouds. I was nervous for two reasons:

#1- I needed to ace my finals in order to receive a scholarship. I definitely did not want to have to work next semester. It would already be hectic enough with my classes and Edward prepping for the MCATs. Work would just mean less time spent with Edward. I was not willing to allow that to happen.

#2-this was Edward's last semester at NU. He would be graduating in a few short weeks. I was anxious for what the next semester would mean for us. We had discussed it ad naseum. Edward wanted to make sure I knew that he'd be busy with studying for one of the most important tests he'd ever have to take. Our time together would be limited. I don't know how many times he had warned me that things would be different. I always thought I saw flashes of regret or worry when we had these kinds of conversations, but as quick as those flashes sparked, they extinguished to be replaced by love. Yes I was nervous, but I knew that I could handle not being with him as much as I would like if he at least still loved me. Our love could bridge the gaps in time we'd lose while apart. And if I was lucky enough o be with him through med school, my love would be the support system through the inevitable hard times.

Right now though, I needed to stay focused on what was in front of me, a shirtless smirking Edward.

"Ok Bella, answer this right and I'll lose…" He trailed off suggestively.

"The pants?" I knew I was pushing it.

"Nope! A shoe." A shoe? A shoe?! Not even the pair? One measly shoe. Edward and I were playing a game as a study aid. For every right answer I got, Edward removed an article of clothing. For every wrong answer, Edward put an article of clothing back on.

"C'mon Eddie, don't be like that. You gotta give me more than that. I've been busting my ass with all these questions. I deserve some more eye candy."

"And what about me, huh? You think it's fair for you to be just sitting there completely covered up from my view? Don't you think there are parts of me that want to bust right now?" I giggled hysterically at his admission. "Let's get serious now, please." Edward used his sternest voice with me but I saw the corners of his mouth twitch in the beginnings of a smile.

"Fine." I huffed but was really grateful for his help. It wasn't every day your gorgeous boyfriend helped you study for an anatomy test on the reproductive organs…

"Maybe we should start off with the different parts of the female external genitalia." He was just asking for trouble with this one. And I'm pretty sure he knew that.

"Ok…Well there's the labia majora, the labia minora, the clitoris…" Edward interrupted me.

"And where on the body would one find these parts?" Oh he definitely knew what he was doing here.

"Why don't I show you." I winked at him as I slowly took off my jeans and panties.

--

Finals were over and graduation day was upon us. I sat in the audience of family and friends, waiting for Edward to walk across the stage and receive his diploma, or at least the folder that would hold his diploma once it was sent to him. Carlisle, Esme, Emmett, Rose, Jasper, and Alice were all in attendance. Carlisle and Esme were busy snapping picture after picture, proud of their first graduate (though he was the second born, Emmett still on the long road to graduation). I noticed that Emmett brought a PSP to play on while he suffered through the speeches. Rose tried to take it away from him once when Emmett got a bit too excited and whooped out loud. But she gave up and eventually pulled out a compact and started meticulously reapplying makeup. Alice had brought a sketch pad, penciling out different clothes that she hoped to start on during the Christmas break. Jasper actually listened to the speaker. I, well I just stared at Edward. The black of his robes set off his beautifully pale skin. And his dazzling green eyes glittered from the spot lights over the graduates. Even at this distance he was hauntingly perfect. Every once and awhile he turned and met my stare, smiling at me crookedly and wiggling his eyebrows back and forth. I knew what he was thinking.

Celebratory sex.

As if we needed an excuse. But Edward was adamant. He insisted it was necessary to clarify our next time as a celebration of his graduating with honors. Plus he liked the idea of us running off somewhere secluded, leaving his family wondering where we were. Though I highly doubted anyone would wonder. it appears that everyone was well aware of our sexual habits, including is parents. Alice told me that Edward and I rivaled the sexual energy of Emmett and Rosalie. I blushed and Edward beamed. Apparently that's a compliment. But if I wasn't careful, Emmett would soon be challenging us to sexual duels; see who could have the most sex in a month, a week, a day. I'm pretty sure we'd win, but I didn't like the idea of turning our sex life into a competition.

"Edward Anthony Cullen."

Oh good, I had effectively let my mind wander through the boring crap that takes up most of graduation. Now to the good stuff; watching Edward strut his stuff across the stage. He really was too beautiful. He moved lithely across the stage, turning towards the row all of his family occupied to bow and smile. Emmett jumped to his feet and started shouting.

"You the man, Eddie!" Emmett did his "Frank the Tank" impersonation, causing the surrounding people to turn and glare. Esme looked a little embarrassed as she tried to tug Emmett's hulking frame back down to his seat.

When all the names had been called and we were all ushered outside to wait for our respective graduate, Edward came strolling over casually to our big group.

"Honey I'm so proud of you!" Esme wrapped her arms around Edward in a warm motherly embrace.

"Yes, well done son." Carlisle came over to pat his son on the back. "Now on to the hard part, eh?" He smiled at Edward and I noticed for the first time that it was a bit crooked. So that's where Edward got that.

"Yes…the hard part." Edward let go of his mother and walked over to me, grinning wickedly. This boy had a one track mind. And apparently so did I, since I knew exactly what he was talking about.

"Not that kind of hard Edward, ew!" Alice shook her head as if trying to clear away a mental image.

"Yeah, there's no time for that now. We need to head over to your house for the luncheon." Jasper threw Edward an apologetic smile, as if he felt bad that Edward would have to wait.

"I'm glad you're comfortable with me sweetie, but I think that's a bit too comfortable, don't you?" Esme rolled her eyes at Edward and somehow made it still sweet and motherly.

So it turns out everyone knew exactly what Edward was talking about.

"Let's just go, shall we?" Edward's face was frozen in a mask of indifference. I could tell he was disappointed above all else. He had talked of nothing but his celebratory sex since last night. He said it was the only reason he was even walking today.

Edward and I got into his Volvo and followed the small caravan to his house. He still looked upset. I hated seeing him so upset. So I did what I knew would cheer him up.

"I'm sorry we can't have celebratory sex Edward. But you know, there's always a celebratory blow job."

"Bella, we don't have time. Once we get inside the house, my parents will keep us busy getting everything ready for the luncheon."

"OK, maybe I should've clarified. There's always celebratory road head." I kept my eyes fixed to his face to see his reaction.

Edward's eyes almost popped out of his eye sockets. His eyes shifted over to my face, trying to see a hint of joking there. But I was completely serious. When Edward realized that, he broke out into a huge face splitting smile. He looked like the cat who caught the canary.

"Bella, as hot as that sounds, maybe it's not such a good idea. I mean, it can be dangerous." He sounded like he was trying to convince me I didn't need to do that for him, as if afraid I didn't really want to.

"Oh Edward, just shut up and drive."

"And what if someone sees us, you, doing that?"

"Tinted windows, remember?" I gave him a sly smile and slowly lowered my body towards his lower half." "Just enjoy it Edward."

I let my hands brush up against his already hard cock. The mere mention of road head had him ready to go. His pants looked painfully tight against his erection straining to get free. I helped him by slowly unzipping his pants. I pulled his cock out of his underwear, caressing it softly, feeling it twitch in my hand.

"Bella…" Edward was struggling to keep his eyes open, wanting to lose himself in the pleasure he was feeling. It was only going to get better and he needed to stay in control.

"Eyes open, or we turn your precious car into a Volvo pretzel." I said before lowering my open mouth onto his awaiting dick.

"Yessss." He hissed out the word as I began to slowly bob my head up and down his thick shaft.

There was just so much of him. i relaxed my jaw as I went down lower and lower on him, feeling his head hit the back of my throat. My lips tightened around his shaft, allowing my tongue to swirl around it, humming lightly.

"Oh god Bella." One of Edward's hands came to rest on the top of my head, slightly tugging at my hair.

I slid my mouth up and off of him, letting him fall out of my mouth. Edward's expression looked confused.

"You taste so yummy Edward. I want you to come in my mouth." I lowered myself back onto his cock, sucking harder and using one hand to stroke the part my mouth couldn't reach.

"F-f-fuck." Edward's hand began guiding my head up and down faster on him, helping set a steady pace.

I began humming louder, knowing the vibrations I was causing would feel good against his dick. Edward's hand left my head and reached over to grab onto my ass, squeezing it hard, then smacking it loudly.

"Yes, just like that. Your mouth…fucking…you fucking me with your mouth…god…"

As I came up his shaft, I let my teeth just barely graze over his sensitive head, spending time licking at the small opening on his tip. When I dipped in and tasted his pre cum I let out a throaty sound of pleasure.

"Mm, you do taste so good. Cum for me Edward." Again I bent down lower to suck him off.

Edward was beginning to tremble lightly, his grip on the steering wheel tightening so hard his knuckles had turned white. With my mouth sucking his cock and my right hand stroking, I let my left come to fondle his testicles. Edward was groaning and moaning my name. I felt his balls tighten to his body right before he exploded in my mouth. His hot cum shot out and slid down my throat where I greedily gulped it down. I had never swallowed before, never wishing to. But Edward had an amazing taste and I wanted to share everything with him, including his cum.

"Bella, you…didn't have to…swallow…that." Edward was struggling to get his words out between pants. I tucked Edward's not flaccid dick into his boxers and zipped him up

"Yes I did." I licked my lips, trying to savor the taste of Edward that still lingered there. "And you said I was delicious. Edward you are fucking delectable." I smiled at him then sat up to kiss him. "I love sucking your cock." Edward moaned slightly at my words and I felt him stiffen a bit in his pants. "Really, again?"

"Only for you my love. Only you can get me this hard."

We finished just in time, Edward pulling into his neighborhood as I sat back in my seat.

"Now maybe you should, um, try and smooth out your hair? Sorry." I didn't understand what he was trying to tell me so I looked at my appearance in the mirror. My hair was everywhere from his hand in it while I went down on him. It definitely screamed sex. Edward watched me and saw realization dawn on me. "I don't think my family needs to know what happened on the drive over here, do you?"

--

"Are you sure you have to go?" Edward gave me his famous Cullen pout. I would've caved and gave into him if it were possible.

"You know I do. I promised Charlie months ago that I would spend Christmas with him. He booked the flight months ago. I can't do that to him, he spent a lot of money on tickets for me." I shook my head, trying to come to terms with the fact that I'd be spending almost 2 weeks away from Edward, the longest time yet.

"I could always pay him back." Edward gave me a hopeful smile. He really should know better. It was hard enough having Charlie spend so much on me. I wouldn't let Edward spend even more, especially if it meant wasting perfectly good tickets.

"No Edward. I can't do that to Charlie. He's been looking forward to having me home. Plus, he's got no family. He'd be spending Christmas alone if I didn't come."

"Well then, I'll just come with you." I gaped at him.

"You can't do that!"

"And why not?" Edward looked hurt.

"Well for one, you should spend it with your family. And two, I don't know if I, I mean Charlie is ready to have my boyfriend over for Christmas." I hope Edward didn't hear my slip up. As much as I loved Edward, I had a hard time thinking of him meeting either of my parents. I'm sure Charlie would flip and do his whole "bad cop" routine to frighten Edward.

"Alright…" Edward sounded so dejected and I couldn't help but try and kiss away his frown.

"Don't worry Edward, I'll be here for New Year's. So we can party together like it's…2009." I smiled at him, hoping to reassure him that the two weeks would fly by, though I knew better. These would be the longest two weeks of my life. I had no idea how I was going to suffer through them. Maybe I could sleep most of it away.

"Call me, everyday, ok?" I don't know why he had to ask.

"More like every hour." I gave him a sheepish smile, slightly embarrassed by my obsessed admission.

"Good. I need to hear your voice that much. I'm going to miss you love. So much it's unbearable already." He leaned in and kissed me passionately, allowing his tongue to twist with mine sensuously. My hands flew up to his hair, gripping it, longing to pull him tighter to me. "I guess we should get you to your flight then. Wouldn't want to miss that."

At the airport, we said our goodbyes, the curbside checkers giving us dirty looks as we made out and groped each other openly. As if I cared what they thought about us.

"I'll miss you love, more than you know."

"Me too." I was starting to tear up. No, damnit! Don't cry here in front of Edward. Wait til you are alone on the plane. I didn't want to look pathetic.

Edward's lips came up to my eyes, kissing away the tears there. I heard his breath hitch slightly and noticed the smallest hint of moisture in his eyes

"Don't cry love. We'll be together sooner than you think." Edward tried to sound convincing, but I don't think he even believed himself. This time away would be equally hard on both of us.

"Ok." I turned to pick up my suitcase. "What about presents?" Edward looked dumbfounded at my question.

"You want to exchange Christmas presents? You?" Ok, I understood. I hated any kind of gifts. No wonder he was surprised. But Christmas was kind of different, especially when I had someone so important to buy a present for. But in all the craziness of finals, Edward's graduation, and me getting ready to leave, I had forgotten about getting something for Edward.

"Yeah, I just didn't have time to get you anything yet. Can we exchange them when I get back?" Edward broke out his crooked smile.

"I'm so glad to hear that. Because…I kind of already got you some things." Edward wrapped his arms around me and hugged me close to his body. "Of course, when you get back we'll exchange gifts." I smiled at him as he leaned down to kiss me again. The sound of someone clearing his throat made us break apart.

"Well I guess I should be going." I frowned and felt the tears well up in the corners of my eyes again. "I love you."

"I love you to Bella. Call me as soon as you land."

I turned around to walk into the warmth of the airport. Edward had walked back to his car and was almost in it when I thought of something.

"Did you say 'some things'?" Edward gave me a sly smile and winked at me as he opened his door.

"Goodbye my love. I'll miss you!" He stepped into his car, effectively ending the conversation and leaving me fuming. I had no issues with giving each other a present. But multiple presents? Leave it to Edward to go all out. I just hope he didn't spend too much money.

After what felt like hours, I finally got through security. The hard part was trying to find my terminal. No one told me O'Hare was so confusing and so big. I wished Edward could be here to help me. But he wasn't. He was on his way back home, where I wanted to be too. It was a bit of a shock to realize that I viewed the Cullen's house as my home too. I felt more comfortable there than I ever did at Charlie's or even Renee's. I don't know how I was going to get through these next two weeks without the people I had grown to love most. And as I finally stepped through the gate and got settled into my seat, I realized that Edward was my life now. I belonged to him, body and soul.

Ok, so I hope you all liked the chapter. I realize it was nowhere near as long as the last one. But honestly, how could I keep up with that kind of writing.
