BPOV

It was the Saturday and that meant no working today. Thank god! I mean I like my job but I like having time to just relax and chill with my loved ones.

This week was great. I mean although Charlie wasn't always there. It was nice to talk to him and get to know him more. He still didn't say much and I understood his trust issues. I had them and still do… I was doing laundry at the moment and thinking about everything in my life that I didn't hear someone walking in the house towards me until I felt arms around me. I shrieked and tried getting away.

"Bella! Calm down it's me!" Edward said trying to calm me down.

I instantly calmed at his side. I turned around and slapped his arm although I probably got a bruise

"You idiot! You scared the living crap out of me!" I yelled.

"I'm so sorry love! I didn't mean it! I did call your name but you didn't answer." He tried reasoning.

"Sorry." I apologized.

He just hugged me tighter, "It's okay love. What were you thinking about that you didn't hear me?"

"Um… just this past week with Charlie and life in general…." I said quietly.

"Is something wrong?" he asked concerned.

"No." I sighed.

"Bella something is bothering you and I know it!" He exclaimed.

"Edward nothing is bothering me okay?" I said annoyed.

He sighed angrily.

I instantly felt bad about being mean to him. It wasn't his fault that I had issues and my life was messed up.

"Edward I'm sorry. Please forgive me." I begged.

He pulled me into him, "Bella, I'm sorry. I shouldn't pressure you about this."

"No I should be sorry for being such a bitch. I need to be more patient and honest with you…" I said honestly.

"I need to be more respectful and understand when to give you space when you need it."

"Edward… I was thinking about how Charlie seems to have trust issues like I do. He must have gone through something terrible and thinking about that made me think about how terrible my life was…" I said as tears welled up in my eyes when thinking of Phil and Renee hurting me and ruining my life.

"Oh love…" Edward pulled me more tightly against him, "You will never have to go through that again. I promise you."

After I finished doing the laundry, Edward and I decided to cuddle on the couch and watch TV. Well not really, we were mostly talking and just enjoying each other's company.

I was dozing off when I heard a knock on the door and I felt Edward stiffen. I moved to get up but he restrained me.

"Bella please don't open that door." He pleaded.

"Why?" I asked confused.

"Just please for this once listen to me and don't open it." He kept pleading.

I was confused and worried about who was knocking. Was he or she dangerous?

"Who is it?" I asked.

He sighed angrily, "its Riley…" He said making a not so happy face.

Riley? What was he doing here? From Edward's reaction I could kind of guess.

"Edward I can't not open that door." I said as I walked over to the door as he kept knocking.

"Bella…" Edward whined.

Before I opened the door I gave him a look that told him to settle down and I would handle this.

He sighed in defeat and nodded.

I opened the door to find Riley standing there nervously. He was wearing a black t-shirt and jeans.

"Hey Riley what are you doing here?" I said trying to act surprised.

"Hey Bella… and I was in the neighborhood and decided to stop by and say hi." He said nervously.

"Oh well come on in." I said not knowing what else to do.

I let him in and walked to the living room where Edward was. I knew he wasn't going to like this too much.

"Oh you had company?" Riley asked as he was taking Edward in.

I walked over to Edward, "Actually this is my boyfriend Edward." I said introducing him.

"Edward this is our new DJ Riley."

Riley extended his hand to shake Edward's hand. I was so afraid Edward wouldn't shake his hand but I was proved wrong when he shook Riley's hand.

"Hi nice to meet you Riley." Edward said politely.

I could tell this was hard for him. I can see the anger rolling off of him.

"Nice to meet you too Edward." Riley said. "I didn't interrupt anything did I?" He asked awkwardly.

Before Edward could say anything mean I said, "No not at all. We were just hanging out…"

Then we all sat down and it became awkward, until Riley talked.

"So, how long have you two been dating?" Riley asked looking at us pointedly.

"Six months." We both said at the same time which made us look at each other and smiled.

"Oh that's very nice." Riley said tersely.

After he said that Edward all of a sudden became possessive and all "claiming his territory" by hugging me to his side and kissing me softly wherever he could reach; Showing Riley I was taken. Edward was so silly, like I would be with anyone that wasn't him.

"So Riley how are you liking working at the club so far?" I asked trying to make conversation.

He nodded, "Yes it's been fun and interesting." He said smirking.

Edward tensed at my side. I rubbed soothing circles on his hand. It was also a warning for him to calm down.

"I'm sure it has." Edward said in revulsion.

"Well when you work around gorgeous girls, it's hard not to." Riley said staring at me.

It made me uncomfortable. He seemed to be trying to piss off Edward and he was succeeding because Edward looked like he was about to burst with anger.

I had to do something, "So Riley do you have a girlfriend?"

Edward gave me an incredulous look, while I gave him the 'what' look. Riley on the other hand gave me a mischievous smile.

"No I don't. Why do you know someone that might be interested?" he said leering at me again.

And I knew now I wouldn't be able to control Edward.

"That is enough!" he growled, "You have been staring and trying to hit on my girlfriend since you arrived! And right in front of my face!"

"Edward baby calm down." I whispered soothingly.

"I'm very sorry about that, I didn't mean too." He said regretfully.

He wouldn't make eye contact with us. He seemed embarrassed and like he truly felt bad for doing it but then Edward growling really low that only I could hear proved me wrong.

"It's fine. I'm sure you didn't mean to." I lied.

"So was there a reason why you are here?" Edward asked rudely.

I couldn't blame him.

"I was going to ask Bella if she wanted to come to the movies with me or something but I can see she's busy." Riley answered sounding annoyed.

"Well she since she has a boyfriend wouldn't you expect for her to be hanging out with him on her day off?" Edward said.

"That's true but I thought that maybe she would be free sometime." Riley argued back.

"Well I doubt that because Bella usually spends time with my family and me or with her sisters or helping Chief Swan our, so she's always busy." Edward said angrily.

"I'm sure Bella has a lot to do but you're making it sound like you control her life." Riley said like he was daring Edward to deny it.

"That is untrue. Bella can do whatever she wants as long as it's not something dangerous or stupid." He said leering at Riley.

Wow this pissing contest kept getting better and better.

"Agree but how is hanging out with me any of those things? I would never harm Bella. She's my friend and I care about her."

This had to stop right now. I couldn't stand this.

"Stop! Both of you! You are acting like I'm not even here at all and just arguing and trying to decide what I should do. It's ridiculous!" I finally snapped.

They both looked at me in shock. Like they had forgotten I was there.

"Riley I would love to hang out with you sometime just not today but I will let you know when I can, so I'll get to you on that." I said to Riley.

Edward didn't like my decision I knew he was about to protest but I whispered to him, "We'll talk about this later."

"Edward is right I am busy with helping Chief Swan and going to his house and what not but I will find time to hang out. Now I would like for both of you to get along and apologize. I am not going to keep dealing with this understood?" I said reproachfully.

The both nodded.

"You're absolutely right Bella. I can't believe I behaved this way. I'm very sorry Riley. I hope we can get along and be friends." Edward said although I'm not sure if he was being honest or not.

Riley nodded, "You're right. I'm very sorry to both for coming and disturbing you and well for everything. I should probably get going. It was nice to meet you Edward and nice to see you Bella." he said as he got up and started walking towards the door.

Edward and I got up as well and walked behind him.

"Well thanks for stopping by Riley and I will get back to you on that okay? I hope you have a nice day. See you at work on Monday." I said as he was leaving.

"Thanks and to you guys too. See ya." He said then turned to his car.

I closed the door and sighed in relief that, that was over. Now that he was gone I realized I was super pissed at Edward for reacting the way he did.

I walked passed him and into the kitchen for some Tylenol. My head was hurting from everything.

I could hear Edward behind me. Waiting for me to talk, it was bothering him that I hadn't said anything yet. He waited patiently for me to take the pills. He looked worriedly at me.

"Bella. I'm so sorry! You don't understand how embarrassed I am of my behavior."

"Do you understand how terrible you reacted? You were being so possessive! All you needed was to piss on my leg!" I yelled.

He looked down embarrassed, "I know Bella, but I can't help it! You didn't hear what he was thinking! I'm just so afraid he's going to take you away from me! I'm just waiting for the moment to come."

My heart ached that he was suffering like this. I walked over to him and pulled him into my arms.

"Edward, I'm sorry I should understand that it's even harder for you to control your emotions since you are actually hearing what they are thinking, but baby I only want you it will always be you. Riley is a nice guy but he is not you! When are you going to understand that?" I said exasperated.

"Bella, you can change your mind so easily and it scares me. It makes me jealous that he's human and that he doesn't have to worry about hurting you or that he doesn't want to suck your blood every second he's with you and how he can give you things I can't! And he plans on separating us! He's going to succeed probably!" He said desperately.

If he could cry I'm sure he would be crying right now. I felt so terrible doing this to him.

I shook my head, "Edward…He could try everything but nothing will separate me from you… I have never felt this way about anyone and I doubt I ever will. I love you so much that it hurts and I ache when you are away and I crave for your company." I said reassuring him again like always.

He looked up at me and the look on his face was beautiful and wished he was always smiling this brightly.

"Really?" He asked innocently.

"Yes really you big goof." I said before kissing him.

His cold, hard lips molded against mine with more passion then he had ever kissed me like he was afraid I was going to disappear at any second. I was soon gasping for air and so we stopped sadly. Why couldn't I be a vampire so we could just kiss until forever nonstop? I should talk to him about that…

"I still don't understand why you told him you were going to go on a date with him." Edward said interrupting my thoughts.

I sighed, "Edward, I just said that. I mean I might go out to dinner or something but I won't go alone with him. I can make it a group thing you know?"

He smiled mischievously, "So true. I like that idea better. I don't like the idea of you being alone with him."

I just kissed him reassuring him it wasn't going to happen. Also I had to distract myself before I had a panic attack. I didn't like the idea either. The thought of it made me want to throw up. I could never go out with any guy that wasn't a Cullen man or Laurent by myself. I didn't trust men. I mean although I doubt Riley would ever do anything bad to me. I still didn't feel comfortable around them. I couldn't tell Edward this because then I would have to bring up the unspeakable. Maybe one day I would tell him. Though i was scared how he would react once i told him. I will probably need professional help for me to be able to tell him. Cause let's just say I was pretty messed up. My childhood was terrible and we all knew that. Plus I was a stripper and that isn't normal. I mean normal people who don't have problems would look for a normal job but I wasn't normal. I had issues sadly…

"So my jealous man, want to go help me cook for Charlie?" I asked excitedly.

He chuckled, "Sure because I want to learn how to cook more stuff for you."

"You are so sweet you know that?" I said leaning in to kiss him, "Just promise me you won't make any disgusting looking faces at the food." I pleaded.

Last time I took him he kept complaining about everything!

He laughed, "I make no promises love. Just like I make no promises that I won't get jealous again and go all crazy."

He said smiling that crooked smile that he knows that I love.

"Cheater!" I accused teasingly.

"But you love it." He said pulling me into his arms and kissing me senseless.

So Riley is causing problems but Edward is so hot when he's jealous though right? or is it just me? lol anyways Review! let me know ur opinions on the chapter!
