Hiya guys, soooo, it's been a hot minute since I've updated. Sorry about that. Sometimes I get distracted. It's the end of the semester, so, I've been kinda stressed. I promise to try to do better. I've posted a new story, 'The Brothel,' check it out. I am continuing this story, so don't worry. Please, enjoy.

Chapter Fifteen – Decisions

Edward and I stayed in his bed and cuddled. Talking about this and that. I loved being snuggled in his arms. I felt so safe.

"You should move in with me." He said.

"What?" I asked, looking up at him and suppressing a yawn.

"You should move in with me," he said, "You know, move in here."

"Why?" I asked.

"Ouch," he said as if he were hurt, "We've been dating for six months. I really like you. I think it's going in a good direction."

I laid my head back down against his chest, "I don't know."

"Why?"

"I just… what if things don't work out?" I said.

He shrugged, "If things don't work out then they don't work out. If that happens, you can move back in with Alice or move to your own apartment. You've been saving up a ton of money."

I bit my lip, "If I move out of Alice's apartment, I'm not moving back. But, I'm not going to live on the street again, I did it once—."

"Whoa, whoa," he said, grabbing my face, "You'd think I'd kick you out if we broke up?"

I shrugged, "I don't know. It's happened before."

"Yeah, and that guy who did that to you was a complete asshole. I would never, never do that to you. Even if we broke up, you could stay here for as long as it took you to get on your feet."

I bit my lip, "I don't know… still. What if it changes things? I like our relationship now."

"I do to, but, I also want our relationship to grow. I like thinking about our future together. And I would very much like the future I'm dreaming of to come true."

I sat up, my legs spreading over his thighs, "I'll think about it. Maybe talk to Alice. Talk to Emily."

He groaned, "Ugh, c'mon Bella."

I frowned playfully, "Lemme talk to them. Then I'll let you know."

He looked down at me and smiled. I felt his cock rise against my butt. I blushed and looked away bashfully.

His hands moved on my hips and squeezed gently, "What do ya say to… some fooling around?"

I giggled and nodded. He smiled widely and rolled us over. He sucked the side of my neck, I could feel the mark forming. I swatted his head away.

"No marks, I don't want to have a hickey when I go to work."

"I can't help it. I want everyone to know you're mine." He said, licking my collarbone.

I giggled, "No!"

He looked up with a toothy grin and growled, "Oh I will! Everyone will know you're mine."

My fingers gently scratched against his scalp. His eyes rolled back, enjoying the sensation. I had found out that Edward absolutely loved having his hair played with. Must have been why he always ran his fingers through his hair.

His hands found my breasts and squeezed, pinching my nipples until they were hard. He sucked on of them into his mouth. I bit my lip and closed my eyes, loving his tongue and teeth against my nipples.

He continued to kiss his way down my stomach. My legs were quivering as he moved closer to my center. His teeth found my clit and sucked until I was squirming underneath him. He growled and reared up quickly, grabbing both my hands and pinning them above my head.

"Now, you better hold still or I'm going to have to punish you, little girl."

I gasped, my eyes widening. He let go of my hands quickly, his eyes wide.

"Oh shit, I-I'm so sorry Bella," he said, "I-I just got to excited. I'm so sorry. I'm such a dick."

I nodded, "I-it's okay." I said.

"No, it's not. I'm so sorry. I promise I'll control myself better."

I smiled gently and placed my hand on his cheek, "It's okay. I'm fine, really. It just scared me a little bit. I trust you."

He smiled back and placed his hand over mine, "I didn't mean to. I got carried away. I'm sorry."

"Stop apologizing," I said, "I'm not as fragile as I once was. I promise, I'm okay."

He nodded and rolled off of me, his arm going over his face. I looked down to see that his cock was still standing tall.

I smiled and crawled down to it, placing my hand around its base. His arm moved, and he looked down at me, his eyes wide.

"Bella, you don't—,"

"I want to." I said as I took him in my mouth.

After our romantic time together, I showered and left for work. I was thinking about Edward's proposal to move in.

It was tempting. I liked Edward, and that like was definitely moving closer to love.

I was a bit distracted at work. That became clear when I dropped a bottle of wine and it shattered on the kitchen floor.

"What's wrong with you girl?" Marcus asked, "You're not usually so clumsy."

"Sorry, I guess I'm a little distracted." I said.

"Why? Did something happen between you and Edward?" Lauren asked, "Not that I'm prying."

I had found out that Lauren and Edward had a little fling before we met. Of course, that fling was nothing more than a one-night stand. But, apparently to Lauren, it meant something to her. But, Edward swears it was nothing more, and I believe him.

"He asked me to move in with him," I said.

"Oh." She said, falling silent as she helped me pick up the pieces. She excused herself after a few moments.

"Maybe you shouldn't tell Lauren about this stuff." Marcus said.

I shrugged, "They had sex one time two years ago. She should be over it by now."

"Mm, don't go causing trouble now." He said.

"I won't. I never do." I smiled as I threw the pieces in the trash.

I went back to work, trying to ignore all thoughts of Edward, and moving in with him.

I got to Alice's house after work. She was home, reading a magazine.

"Hey Bella," she said when I walked in.

I sat on the couch beside her, "Hey Alice. I need to talk to you."

"Sure," she closed her magazine, "What's up?"

"Edward asked me to move in with him." I blurted out.

"Wow," she smiled, "Really?"

I nodded, "Yeah. He wants me to move in with him."

"That's awesome," she paused, "Wait are you going to do it?"

I shrugged, "I don't know. I really like him, but, what if it ruins things between us? And it doesn't work out?"

"Well, then, it doesn't work out. You can't keep worrying about that. You like Edward. He likes you. It'll work out."

"Yeah, but, what if it doesn't? I'm left with no where to go." I said.

She gave me a look, "No where to go, really? You know you can always come back."

I sighed, "I know but I hate always relying on you."

She rolled her eyes, "It's not a big deal, Bella."

"It kinda is to me," I said, "I really like Edward though. And, I don't know, I kind of want to move in with him." I blushed.

"Then do it!" She smiled, giving my shoulder a light shove.

I blushed, "I-I think I am."

A Few Hours Later

I made it to Edward's apartment before he did. I had a key, one he had given me anytime I felt like coming over.

I had brought dinner over from the restaurant and set it up on the kitchen counter. A few moments later, Edward walked in.

"Hey, baby," he said as he kissed my cheek.

"Hey," I said, "How was your day?"

"Eh, it was okay," He said, "How about yours?"

"Nothing special," I smiled.

"Must've been something pretty special," he smiled, "you're smiling pretty big."

I sat down, licking my lips, "I was thinking about what you said this morning… And I do want to move in with you."

His smile widened, "I can't even begin to express to you how happy that makes me."

I walked over and sat in his lap, wrapping my arms around his neck. His arms wrapped around me, and his nose pressed against the top of my head. He inhaled deeply.

I could sense he was having somewhat of a rough day. I knew it wasn't anything in particular, just a long and frustrating day. If it was something significant, he would've told me immediately.

My hands moved to the waistband of his, unzipping his fly and unbuttoning his button. He smiled and leaned back, letting me pull his semi-hard cock out of his pants. I started playing with it until it hardened completely.

His hands latched onto my waist then he stood, holding me close to him. I giggled as he walked us back to his room, leaving the uneaten food on the counter.

When you know, you know. How about that? Bella and Edward are definitely making strides!
