A/N: Sorry I haven't updated. My science teacher thinks she is the only teacher that assigns homework. It's always project, project, test, project. It sucks big time. Anyway, keep up the reviews! Love you!
Disclaimer: Stephanie Meyer owns Twilight, but I own the mixed up story I put them in.
I woke up fresh and rested. I was ready for today. I had another date with Edward tonight. He was so sweet with me, considering I had finals for the next week. Starting since last Thursday, Edward would call me after school and then pick me up at six for dinner and a movie or something like that.
We had gotten a lot closer over the last three weeks. We had the best times together we talked like best friends but kissed like lovers. It was amazing, even just sitting on the couch in sweats watching a movie with his arms around me.
Now that I was working for him it was great, granted I had only worked with him for a few days before he gave me a break because of finals. I still had to tell him about James though. James had me on paid vacation, and I had student loans to pay off. Edward had to understand.
I probably should tell him when we went out tonight.

Edward was like usual and called as soon as I got back to my apartment.
"Hey," his sweet velvet voice said.
"Hey, I was thinking instead of going out we could watch a movie or something and get take out?" I half asked half stated.
"Whatever you want, babe" He said, his voice called out to me. Edward always called me but he never meant it in the derogatory statement that most men use it as. I knew it was a turn of endearment.
"Okay, see you at five?" I asked. Unsure of what he wanted to do. That gave me an hour to take a shower and order take out.
"Okay Bella, see you then." He whispered before hanging up. I was going to tell him about James as soon as he came over, then hopefully we could go back to normal.
xoxox
Edward knocked on the door promptly at five. He was dressed in lose fitting jeans, a black tee shirt complete with flour streaks, and a hoodie. In his hands was a box of assorted cookies from Batter.
I kissed him passionately and he met me with as much enthusiasm. As I pulled away, I brushed at his hair to get out a streak of flour before bursting into giggles.
"What?" Edward said genuinely confused. I couldn't form a sentence, he was breathtakingly gorgeous and had a white streak of flour through his amazing bronze hair.
He put the cookies down and grabbed my waist with feigned anger. He lifted me uo over his shoulder, all the while I was giggling like a little girl.
He gently tossed me on the couch before straddling me.
"What are you laughing at Bella? Me? I'll give you something to laugh about!" He shouted playfully. Then he tickled my ribs, his hands ghosting over my ribs.
"Ahhhhhh!!!!! EDWARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!! STOP IT TICKLES!" I shouted pointing out the pink elephant in the room.
I thrashed under him, laughing really hard. In fact, I was laughing so hard, I was crying and my stomach hurt.
Edward saw the tears and jumped off me.
"Bella? Are you okay? I didn't mean to hurt you! I am so sorry!" Edward started apologizing quickly.
I jumped up and shut him up with a kiss on the lips. After he quieted down I told him I was fine and that he worried to much before poking him in the ribs.
The doorbell rang right after, signaling that the takeout was here.
"Coming!" I shouted towards the door.
Edward followed me to the door and handed me ten dollars.
"Yeah right, like I am letting you pay for this." I said shoving the money back into his pocket.
I opened the door to a teenage boy holding my order. His pimple covered fave was smiling back at me. Then I felt Edward put his arm around my waste and rested his chin on my head.
The boy's expression went from a smile to more like someone's reaction to a horror movie.
He handed me the boxes and I paid him with a twenty and told him to keep the change. He slid the recipt into my hand and walked away still smiling.
I heard a growling noise behind me, I turned realizing it was Edward.
"Hey." I said poking him in the rib with my elbow, which hurt me more than him. He pointed to the receipt without saying anything.
"What?" I said absolutely clueless about what he wanted me to see. I turned the receipt over to find a phone number.
I burst into another round of giggles. I put the container down on the island in the kitchen and put my arms around Edwards strong neck.
"So, someone's a bit jealous over a teenage boy serving Chinese takeout covered in acne?" I joked.
"Oh, Bella." He sighed before resting his forehead on mine. I was starting to get a bit worried how he would take the James situation.
I dragged Edward to the couch along with forks, napkins, and the food. We sat on the couch for about a minute before Edward pulled me onto his lap.
"Edward," I started feeling nervous.
"Yes," He responded, he sounded curious, so I decided to continue.
"I have to tell you something." I whispered, wanting to dance around the subject for a few seconds.
"I'm all ears,' Edward replied, sounding completely earnest. I had to tell him, and it was too late to turn back now.
"I work for a lawyer as a secretary, but after the paid vacation, I am going to quit I swear." I blurted out in one breath just to get it over with.
"Okay, I understand, I went through college a year ago, I know you must have loans you need to pay off." Edward said before starting to suck on my earlobe. During the movies, Edward and I had gotten in some pretty hot make out sessions. I was content.
"Wow, you're completely amazing, you know that." I said, all traces of joking aside. I could totally see spending the rest of my life with him.
Wait
Did I just say that? Yes, I did. I guess I didn't need the whole fairy tale passion with someone to fall in love. Well, I was falling for Edward. I could see myself in love with him, but right now, I wanted to finish school.
But Edward was in the future. I could see it soon. He was probably the best thing that ever happened to me so far besides Alice, Rosalie, and college.
Little did I know it was all going to change. But for now, I was going to enjoy the movie in the safe protective arms of my boyfriend for some nice alone time.
