Hey guys, thanks for the wonderful reviews for my last chapter. Didn't imagine so many people showing interest in such an old story. I hope you like this one too. It's just a small filler chapter, but still

I couldn't sleep even after having the milk. And there was no way I'd let Edward sleep if I couldn't.

I looked at his sleeping form and kissed him gently on his lips.

"mmm...Bella, lemme sleep," he mumbled.

But I wasn't going to give up so easily. I kissed him again, deeper this time.

"Oh you're going to be the death of me," he muttered before flipping me over settling on top of me. I giggled at the suddenness of it all.

We went on to memorize every part, every crevice of each other's bodies the entire night.

We saw the sunrise from his living room window and got ready for work together. I made eggs for breakfast while Edward finished the report on the Paris branch on his laptop. Watching him concentrate so much on his reporting sitting on the couch made me smile. Later, he came into the kitchen to help me with breakfast. He got the toasts ready and brewed the coffee. We had a quick breakfast of scrambled eggs and toast and left for work in his car.

It was in the car that I suddenly realized it.

"Edward, drop me off at home and go to work. I'll walk to work from my house."

Edward frowned. "Do you not want to be seen with me in public," he said, his voice low and strained.

"Well...kinda...we do have strict inter office romance policies. I don't want any of the bosses or anyone from the HR department to see us together before we know where we are and have come clean at work," I reasoned, as calm as I could.

"So what if they see us together," Edward said. His jaw was tight and he seemed to be concentrating hard on the steering wheel. I saw that his knuckles had gone white from holding the steering wheel so hard.

I touched his shoulder. "Edward, come on...you know how strict our policies are. You are up for another promotion this month. I don't want to ruin the chances for you," I tried to calm him down, rubbing my palm over his arm.

"Why would you say that Bella! Why would you suddenly say we need to figure out where we are," he burst out. Yup, he was definitely angry.

I sighed. "Edward," I said, rubbing my temples with my eyes shut, "please don't read too much into this. We haven't talked about this thing between us. We need to do that before disclosing our relationship at work. To make sure we are on the same page."

"Fine," Edward muttered, still angry, "walk to work to your heart's content."

He stopped the car in front of my building and drove off without as much as a "see you later"

I walked to work alone, wondering why he got so angry. Alice was already in office when I reached. As soon as I settled down, she instant messaged me.

"What the hell Bella! Aren't you supposed to at least give me a head's up before disappearing like that!"

Oops!

"I'm sorry Alice...spent the night at Edward's...left in a rush," I hastily typed.

"Yeah...I figured...do you want to invite him to have lunch with us?" At least Alice was trying to be nice for my sake. But given what happened earlier today, I wasn't sure if inviting Edward was such a good idea.

Edward ignored me the entire day. Even when we happened to leave office at the same time and were in the elevator together. He pretended to not see me. He was busy talking to one of the snooty lawyers from the 14th floor. I glared at him when his eyes eventually met mine. He ignored that too.

I decided I had to take things in my own hands

Let me know what you think! Be generous with the reviews :)
