Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight.

A/N: So hey – I suck for not sending a teaser. But am I awesome for putting up a new chapter in three days? Lol. I just couldn't do it guys. Anyway I wrote it – it gave away too much. :x I hope you enjoy this early chapter! :)

And for those of you who asked, yes there's only two chapters left. One more normal chapter after this and an epilogue – 30 total chapters and that's it. :( Are you as sad as I am? Cause I'm pretty freakin' sad.

"Bella, will you stop? You're freaking me the fuck out."

I try to stop fidgeting but it's seriously impossible. How does Rose expect me to stand still when the love of my life – who I haven't seen in two and a half months – is about to exit his plane? I mean, seriously!

"Bells come and sit down over here." I glare at Emmett and he holds up his hands in surrender. "Sorry, it was just a suggestion."

I start laughing at the ridiculousness of Emmett being afraid of me. He outweighs me by a hundred pounds – maybe even more – easily, yet he's afraid of me.

"Damn, I've missed the sound of that." I gasp and spin around, smacking right into Edward's rock hard chest. "Easy there baby," he chuckles as he wraps his arms around me. "You okay?"

I don't answer him. I crush my entire body right up against his and wrap my arms around his neck. Traitor tears leave my eyes without my permission and I'm suddenly sobbing against his chest.

"Shh," he tries to soothe me. "It's okay baby. Relax," he lifts my chin with his index finger and smiles down at me. "Hi."

I bite my lip out of habit and try to quell the sobs. After a few deep breaths and staring at his face, I'm able to breathe and the tears stop. "Hey," I say quietly. My face heats with embarrassment. "Sorry…for that. I don't even know what that was." I bury my face in his neck and breathe him in. Damn, he always smells delicious. Right now he smells like…oranges and spice.

"Don't be sorry," he says against my hair. "If Emmett wasn't right there I'd be crying too, but I gotta keep up the tough guy act, you know?" He holds out his arm and flexes his muscle. I know he's being silly to make me laugh, but it has a completely different effect on me. I watch as his muscles contract under the thin Star Wars t-shirt and swallow audibly. A wave of lust hits me and I want nothing more than to fuck my boyfriend.

"Edward?" I ask in a sweet tone. He cocks an eyebrow at me and I smile. "I'm not feeling too well…could you walk me to the bathroom?"

He gives me a concerned look but nods. "Hey Em? We'll meet you at the car okay? Bella isn't feeling well."

"Okay baby bro. It's on tonight, by the way. We're having poker night after dinner bitch."

Edward laughs as he leads me toward the women's bathroom. When we're at the door I take a quick peek around. Satisfied that we're alone, I drag him into the bathroom with me, thankful we found a single room bathroom instead of multi-stall room. I lock the door behind us and slam him up against it. "Damn Bella," he groans as I dip a hand into his jeans, palming his already hardening cock through his boxer briefs. "What…" My lips slam against his and my tongue sliding into his mouth ceases any and all talk. He groans into my mouth and seems to snap out of his shock, running his hands along my hips until they settle on my ass.

"Fuck," he mutters when I move my lips from his down to his neck. "I've missed you so fucking much Bella." I squeeze his cock and he gasps. "I've missed your hands on me." I dip down to my knees and his eyes widen.

I raise an eyebrow and ask in what I hope is a sexy tone, "What about my mouth, baby? Have you missed that too?" I pull his jeans and boxers down until they're pooled around his sneakers and watch in awe as his cock springs free. I don't give him a chance to answer, leaning forward and licking the liquid seeping from the tip of his erection.

"FUUUUUUCK!"

I'm not stupid. I know we're in an airport, and I know there are security cameras. I'm just hoping for enough time to do what we both need before we're escorted from the building – and hopefully not arrested. However, if we're arrested, this will totally be worth it. Not wanting to waste any time, I wrap my mouth around the head of his cock and begin sliding him inside. His hands find my hair, wrapping it up as he guides my head down gently.

"Fuck baby," he hisses as I look up at him. "You look so fucking sexy with your mouth around my cock." I moan at his dirty talk, the vibrations making him groan out and buck his hips. "Unggg, Bella, it's been too long. I'm not gonna last baby."

I double my efforts, hallowing out my cheeks and sucking him hard. I grab his ass with one hand for leverage and slide my mouth up and down his shaft quickly. "Shit shit shit," he chants in between gasps. Using my free hand, I tug gently on his balls before rolling them between my fingers. "BELLA!" he screams out as he spills down my throat.

I swallow every drop greedily, not wanting a bit to go to waste. Edward helps me up and kisses me gently, massaging my neck as he does. "Thank you," he says smiling down at me. "That was fucking amazing."

"You're welcome," I kiss him again, unable to get enough of his lips. "You can always return the favor." I bite my lip and bat my eyes comically, causing him to laugh.

"I plan to," he says darkly. He covers my face in tiny kisses until he gets to my neck, where he sucks roughly. I moan and grind myself against him, smiling when I feel him hard and ready again for me already. Just when it's getting good, there's a knock at the door.

"Security! We know what you're doin' in there! Come out now and you won't be arrested."

Well, fuck.

-XXX-

"Edward?" I ask sleepily as I draw lazy circles all over his chest with my fingertip.

"Huh?"

I smile at how tired he sounds. He definitely returned the favor. More than once.

"Are you going to tell me now?"

"Tell you what?" He sits up and rests his back against the headboard, beckoning for me to join him. I groan as my muscles scream at me to lay the fuck back down. Edward has a way of wearing me out. I finally manage to sit up beside him, resting my head on his shoulder.

"Tell me the big secret. What you've been keeping from me for months." My voice is whiney, but I don't really care. I've been as patient as I can be – which admittedly isn't very, but that's just how I am.

"Oh, that." His tone is matter-of-fact and I really wanna hurt him.

I pinch his nipple and he yelps out. "Fuck, Bella! Enough with the nipple torture. You'll know soon enough."

"Knowing soon enough would've been two and a half months ago in the middle of an airport. I wanna know now."

"You've very demanding Ms. Swan."

I shrug. "I know. But you love me anyway, so why change?" I laugh at myself and he joins in before turning serious. He grabs my chin and lifts my face. "Bella, you better never change anything about yourself. Got it?"

"Got it. Never change," I say with a nod. "So that means you want me to continue to be stubborn and annoying?"

He hesitates for a second, but answers with a chuckle and a nod. "Yeah, I guess."

"Okay, so I'm going to continue to be stubborn and annoying, and ask again: What's the big secret?"

He huffs and stands up, pulling on his boxers and a pair of basketball shorts. I pout at his lack of nakedness and he notices, shaking his head and laughing at me. I grab the t-shirt he had on earlier and throw it on.

Two seconds later Edward is attacking me with kisses. When he finally relents and lets me catch my breath, I stutter out, "What the hell was that for?"

"Seeing you in my stuff is just…fucking sexy." He grabs my bare ass and gives it a squeeze and I can't stop the moan that escapes my lips. "I need to leave this room right now, and when I come back, you need to be fully dressed. Otherwise we're never going to leave this room."

"I have no problem with that," I say before sucking his neck.

He groans and gently detaches me from him. "Baby, we need to go to dinner with everyone, or they'll never leave us alone. That's the rule."

I groan, hating the stupid rule.

Every summer when Edward and I come home, we alternate between houses. We either stay at his parent's house or my parent's house. Our parents have agreed to treat us like the consenting mature adults we are and allow us to stay in the same room for privacy. However, they have conditions. One of those conditions is a mandatory dinner the first night we're back. If we don't go, we won't get alone time – and no alone time means no sex.

"Fine," I huff and push him away. "Get me something to eat, I need sustenance. I'm gonna take a shower."

He raises an eyebrow at me. "Excuse me?"

"Pleeeaaseeee baby?" I ask in the sweetest voice I can muster as I pout up at him.

He sighs and rolls his eyes but can't stop the smile from spreading across his face. "Okay."

I smirk in victory when he turns to leave.

-XXX-

"It's so good to have you home honey," my Dad says gruffly as he pulls me into a tight hug. "I wish you were staying here." I pull back to see his mustache in full frown mode. I can't help but laugh at him. He's a grown man and he's pouting. It is a really good pout though, and I have to at least thank the guy for passing on such an awesome gene to me – the pouting, not the mustache.

"Dad, we stayed here last summer. You can't have me every year."

"Yeah, Charlie, I need to see my babies too!" Esme wraps me into a motherly hug and I sigh in contentment. "It's so good to see you Bella. I swear you look more and more beautiful every time you come home. I hope Edward realizes how lucky he is." She winks at me and smiles.

"I do," Edward says from behind me.

Whoa. Hearing him say "I do" totally just made me wet. What the hell?

I turn around to face him and smile. "Having fun?" I ask with a laugh. He has red kisses all over his face, and looking across the room I see the culprit making her way toward me to mark her territory on my face as well.

"Bella!"

I take a deep breath and try to prepare myself for the exhaustion that is my mother. "Mom!" I say with as much enthusiasm as I can muster. Of course I missed her and of course I'm happy to see her, but she's just so overwhelming.

"Oh, honey! I've missed you so much!" She wraps her arms around my neck and squeezes me tightly. And cue the waterworks.

"Mom," I sigh as I unlatch her from my neck. "It's okay, you don't have to cry. We have a couple months together right? I'm only going off to school after the summer. We've been through this so many times already."

I honestly don't understand why she's so emotional right now. Normally she saves her tears for when I'm leaving, not when I've just got home. Weird.

"I know honey. It's just different now. You're so grownup and I'm l-losing my b-baaaaby!" She's about to wrap herself around me again like a snake but my Dad intercepts her.

"Sorry Bells. She and Esme got into the wine a little early today."

Mom glares at Dad and he shrugs as he takes her away. I watch in amusement as she attaches herself to Esme, who strokes her back soothingly while whispering something in her ear.

Edward wraps his arms around my waist from behind and rests his chin on my shoulder. "She okay?" I shrug and he laughs. "My mom will handle her. I'm pretty sure they're the only ones who can handle each other besides our Dads."

"I completely agree." I turn around in his arms and softly kiss him. I hear my Mom let out a fresh sob and look over in her direction. She's pointing to us and blubbering while Esme tries and fails to calm her. "What the hell is wrong with her?"

I hear him mutter something that sounds like "shoulda never told her" but when I ask him what he said he shakes his head.

"Nothing baby. I don't know what's up with her. She's just being a Mom I guess. Let's go for a walk, okay? Get out of the house and away from the crazies until dinner is done."

"Okay," I agree with a laugh.

Ten minutes later we're walking into our park. I smile up at Edward who squeezes my hand in response. "Remember the last time we were here?" I ask in what I hope is a sultry tone. Edward nods and I watch as his eyes darken. "That was fun, wasn't it?" He nods again and I giggle, loving that I've rendered him speechless. "Wanna do it again?" I bite my lip just to drive him a little crazy.

He groans and pulls me against him, letting me feel how much he wants to repeat that particular memory. My body starts tingling, anticipating what's about to happen, until he pulls away from me. I look up at him in confusion. I'm honestly a little hurt. Edward never says no to sex. I pull away from him and take a few steps back.

"Bella?" he asks me with a tilt of his head. "What's wrong? Come here."

I shake my head and take a few more steps back. "Why did you pull away from me? Is this about the secret?"

"Yes."

I swallow and nod, trying to fight back tears. "You promised me that it wasn't bad. Why would you pull away from me and not want sex? That makes no sense, unless you're having sex with someone else."

He laughs and I really want to fucking hit him, but he's too far away, unfortunately. Instead I glare at him. "This is not fucking funny, Edward!"

"Babe, come here." He walks toward our swing and sits down. "Sit with me? Please?"

I take a step toward him and he smiles at me. "That's my girl. C'mere." I stand in between his spread legs and he wraps his arms around my waist. "Sit down." I do as he says and get into our famous spider swing position; sitting on his lap with each of my legs straddling his hips and hanging over the back of the swing.

"You realize we just had a whole lot of sex right?" he asks with a smug grin. "You're the only one I ever wanna have sex with. I will never touch another girl. Got it?"

I nod. "Tell me then. I need to know."

He shakes his head.

"Edward…"

"Bella…"

"If you love me, you'll tell me what you've been hiding from me. I'm serious Edward, I can't take this anymore." My lip trembles and I look away, not wanting to cry.

"Bella," his voice is alarmed. "I told you it's nothing bad. Well…I hope it isn't anything bad anyway." He frowns now, seeming unsure of his news.

My mouth pops open. "So what you're saying is…for two months, you've been telling me: no big deal, it's fine, it's good news; and now you hope it isn't anything bad?" I try to get off of the swing but he holds me to him.

"What do you want to do after you graduate?"

"I…what?" The question is so random I have no idea what to say. "I don't know. Why?"

"Do you want to come back to Washington?"

I gulp. "Yeah." I look away from him, not wanting to see the hurt in his eyes.

I know his plan is to continue in Boston for medical school and me going home means we'll be even further away from each other for another three years – at least. He's tried to bring this conversation up over the last year, but honestly I just haven't wanted to ruin our weekends with a talk that would just upset us both.

"Bella please look at me baby."

I look at him and see that he's smiling. What the fuck?

"Why are you smiling like that?"

"I'm happy."

"Why? I just told you that there could potentially be even more miles in between us."

He laughs and I seriously want to hurt him – again.

"Can I tell you my secret now?"

I nod and hold my breath.

"I finished my medical school applications." I nod again. "I applied to a few schools." I nod again. "I applied to Harvard." My heart sinks even though I already knew this. "I applied to Columbia." My eyebrows rise at this. "And I applied to The UDUB." My mouth pops open in shock – again – and I try to say something, but can't. "You okay?"

I hold up a finger.

After a minute, I can finally speak. "Why would you apply to UDUB?"

"Because I knew you'd want to come home after school. These past few months, I knew you were leaning toward going home instead of staying in New York."

"I know," I sigh. "I just miss everyone here so much. But…I don't know. I feel like New York is where I should be if I really want to try writing."

"You want to write books now baby. The location shouldn't matter. All your imagination is right here," he says with a kiss to my forehead. "I think you could be a fantastic writer anywhere you want to be."

I nod, agreeing with him.

"But you know what?" he asks me.

"What?"

"Whether you decide to stay in New York or to come home to Washington – I'm going to be there."

"You will be?" I ask with a smile.

"That's right."

"What if you don't get into UDUB or Columbia but you get into Harvard?"

We both laugh at the ridiculousness of that question.

"Then…we'll make it work, right?" he asks with hopefulness in his tone.

"Right," I say with a smile.

"But I think it's safe to say with my outstanding GPA, my future fantastic MCAT score, and my obvious charm," he waggles his eyebrows, "that I'll get the school I want – the school we want for me."

"So…this will be our last year apart?"

"Yeah baby. After senior year, we'll never be apart. I promise."

I know it's not really a promise he can make, but it's one I can help him keep. If he gets into Washington, we'll go home. If he gets into Columbia, I'll stay in New York. If he needs to stay in Boston – I'll join him there.

I'd do anything for him, and I can't be apart any longer than we need to be either.

"I have one more thing to tell you Bella," he whispers in my ear as he swings us. "Well, more like ask you."

"What's that?"

"Will you marry me?"

A/N: Whoa! Lots of stuff happening in this chapter, huh? I hope you guys enjoyed it. But I hope everyone was surprised by that ending! We're in the homestretch now. One more chapter and then an epilogue. I'm seriously sad to say bye to these two. :(

I have the first half of chapter 29 written. So how about this… If there are lots of reviews…I'll post chapter 29 by Tuesday. :) Deal?
