I woke up to the sound of my phone vibrating, I had set the alarm for 4.45am so I could make breakfast for Bella and get her to work on time. I had the biggest smile on my face when I looked down at Bella sleeping peacefully in my arms. I knew I would never get tired of waking up next to this beautiful creature.
As gently as I could so as not to wake her I slipped out of the bed, placed a kiss on her forehead and made my way out of the room.
I quietly walked down stairs and to the kitchen only to find Alice and Jasper sitting at the breakfast bar.
"Good morning brother of mine" Alice greeted me, always so chipper in the mornings. Freak.
"How the hell can you be so....awake? It's only" I looked at the clock on the oven. "4.49am and we were out all of last night. Morning Jas." I greeted the both of them, receiving a grunt/yawn and a wave of his hand. Poor guy was always up early thanks to Alice.
Alice has always been a morning person. Hell I don't think I had ever seen her tired. Whereas Jasper was like any normal person and would rather stay in bed for a few more hours.
"Well unlike the rest of you I don't like to waste my day by staying in bed" Alice replied hotly.
"But it's only quarter to five in the morning!"
"So?" Alice looked at me confused.
I just rolled my eyes and stayed quiet. There was never any point in arguing with Alice especially when you had just woken up.
"Hey are you two hungry?" I asked as I looked in the fridge for some eggs and other bits and bobs I would need.
"Sure. What you making?" Jasper asked a little more awake now.
"I was gonna make a little of everything. I'm not too sure what Bella likes." I admitted feeling terrible that I didn't know what kind of food my girlfriend likes.
"Oh let me help!" Alice jumped up from the bar and ran around it to come and help me. "I'll do the bacon, eggs and stuff" She waved her hand dismissively. "and you make some pancakes. Your pancakes are delicious!"
I laughed at her enthusiasm but did as she said. We had almost finished when we heard Emmett and Rosalie enter the kitchen.
"Is that bacon?" Emmett asked, his eyes lighting up like a kid on Christmas morning. He sniffed the air. "And Edwards pancakes!"
"Emmett keep the noise down Bella's still asleep!" I scolded quietly.
"Sorry bro." He replied.
"How come you guys are up?" Jasper asked.
Rosalie scowled at Emmett. "Emmett smelled the bacon" She replied simply. I laughed, only Emmett could be woken up by the smell of bacon.
A few minutes later everyone was piling their plates with food, Emmett of course had two plates. I grabbed a tray from one of the cupboards, filling it with an array of food for me and Bella to share, two glasses of orange juice and some cutlery. Picking up the tray I made my way back upstairs to my bedroom and the beautiful woman asleep in my bed.
As I walked in I couldn't help how aroused I got just by seeing her in my bed. I pushed those thoughts away and set the tray on my nightstand. I climbed back into bed and leaned over Bella, gently stroking back her hair.
"Bella you need to wake up now love"
Her eyelids fluttered slightly.
"Bella, love you need to wake up"
Slowly her eyes opened and blinked rapidly at the light in the room.
"Good morning sleeping beauty" I said.
She looked at me for a moment, probably trying to remember why she was in my room and not hers. Finally she smiled and replied.
"Good morning Edward."
Her voice was husky from sleep which only made the problem in my trousers that much harder. No pun intended.
I turned and grabbed the tray, placing it on my knees as I pulled Bella tightly against my side.
"I brought you breakfast" I told her.
"Wow Edward this is amazing!" She said as she looked at all of the different types of food on the tray.
"I wasn't sure what you would like to eat." I said.
"I'll eat anything for breakfast" She said with a laugh as she picked up a slice of fruit. I watched entranced as she placed the slice in her mouth and her lips closed around her fingers. I stifled a groan. Her eyes closed and she moaned at the taste, licking her lips. This time the groan escaped before I could stop it. Her eyes snapped open and looked at me. My cheeks immediately started to burn and I looked down at the tray.
"Well that's a first" She said with a laugh. "Isn't it supposed to be you who makes me blush?"
I looked over at her and smiled. "You know I think your right." I said.
She gulped and licked her lips at the look on my face.
"H-how are you going to do that?" She stuttered.
I quickly moved the tray out of the way. "I have a few ideas" I replied cryptically.
Her body pressed into the mattress as I slowly moved above her. I looked at her face and saw that she was already the shade of a tomato.
"See I knew I could make you blush" I said as I stroked her cheek and began to move off of her.
Before I could get too far she had grabbed my arms and claimed my lips with hers. At first I was paralysed by shock but soon snapped out of it when I felt her tongue against my bottom lip. Immediately I opened my mouth, eager to taste her, our kiss got more and more passionate as our tongues fought for dominance. Unintentionally I ground my hips into hers, my hard on rubbing against her heat, I thought for sure that she would stop and push me off of her disgusted but I was mistaken. She paused for a second looking me in the eyes before lifting her hips and grinding against me, moaning at the feeling. Following her lead I pressed my rock hard member against her core earning yet another moan from her swollen lips. I kissed across her jaw and up and down her neck before I sucked on her ear lobe, still moving my hips with hers desperate for the friction it caused.
"Do you like this baby?" I asked as I nibbled on her ear.
"Mmm yes!" She moaned, raking the nails of her right hand up and down my bare back as her other hand tugged on my hair.
I reached down and lifted her left leg, wrapping it around my hips as I pressed against her harder, my pace picking up as I neared my climax.
Shortly after Bella moaned out "Edward I.... urgh!" She pulled me tighter to her and began kissing me again. Seconds later she moaned loudly against my mouth as she came. I followed soon after, collapsing onto her small body.
I moved off of her once I had controlled my breathing. I leaned down and placed a chaste kiss on her lips, pushing her hair behind her ear.
She looked at me and gave me a small shy smile. "Well that's one way to wake up." She said all the while blushing.
I grinned.
We laid there for a few more moments before I remembered the food. I picked up the tray and sat it on Bella's lap.
"Eat love." I kissed her forehead. "I'm gonna have a quick shower. Do you want one after?" I asked.
"Yes please." She answered cutely.
After kissing her one more time I moved to the bathroom, stripped and got in the shower.
Bpov
I couldn't believe we had just done that. That I was so bold. I had never so much as kissed a guy before I met Edward and here I was not even two weeks after meeting him lying in his bed having a hot make out session and grinding against him as if my life depended on it.
After Edward went to have a shower I couldn't help but grin to myself that I had found such a perfect guy. I was beyond shocked when he brought me breakfast in bed and in awe when I saw he had made me almost every different type of breakfast food I could think of. There was no way I would be able to eat even half of what was on the tray.
I sat on his bed happily munching at the delicious food until the bathroom door opened and out walked Edward in nothing but a towel. I stopped mid bite and stared at his damp chest, watching as a droplet of water trailed from his neck all the way past his abs until it disappeared beneath the towel that was wrapped around his hips.
"The showers free." Edward said, causing me to look away from his chest and up to his face were it was obvious he had caught me staring due to the smug crooked grin plastered across his face.
Instantly I blushed crimson, set down the tray and headed for the bathroom but was stopped by an arm around my waist. Edward pulled me back and quickly kissed me on my lips.
"I'll get Alice to get you some clean clothes and I'll meet you downstairs." He said before kissing me one more time then releasing me and giving me a playful shove towards the bathroom.
I locked the bathroom door, stripped and got into the shower. The thought that Edward had just been standing in here naked caused a shiver to run down my spine and my skin to heat up.
A few minutes later I got out of the shower, wrapped a towel around myself and towel dried my hair before making my way back into the bedroom. I straight away saw a pair of navy blue skinny jeans along with a black partially see-through shirt, a gray knitted cardigan, a matching pair of black lacy underwear and some black lace up shoes. I was instantly confused, when Edward had said that Alice would find me some clean clothes I thought that would mean some of Rose's that were a bit big – there was no way I would be able to fit into any of Alice's – but these were my size! Even the shoes were a perfect fit! A few minutes later as I was about to get dressed I noticed that they still had the tags on! When on earth did Alice by these? And why would she? (outfit link on profile)
I got dressed in the clothes she had laid out regardless, making a mental note to thank her for them. Once I was dressed I made my way down stairs, seeing them all awake and sitting in the living area. I walked over to Edward and sat down next to him as he looked at me with a smile, wrapping his arm around my shoulders.
"You ready?" He asked.
I smiled and nodded.
We both said quick goodbyes before walking out of the apartment and into the elevator.
"I'm sorry you had to get up so early Edward." I told him quietly.
"There's no need to be sorry baby." He said with a smile as he tucked a strand of hair behind my ear. "When you live with Alice you get used to getting up early." He chuckled.
"Is that why everyone was already awake when I got downstairs?"
"Well Alice usually gets up disgustingly early anyway and therefore Jasper has to as well. Emmett and Rose are the complete opposite and love there lie-ins. Emmett smelled the bacon this morning though." He finished with a shrug as if it was completely normal.
"Oh." I replied simply.
Just then the elevator dinged signalling we were at the parking garage. We walked over to the car, Edward holding my door open for me as usual, after he had walked around the car and gotten in we sped off to the diner. As the only class I had today was psychology with Edward we decided not to make a side trip to my flat and he would just lend me paper and a pen to take notes. We arrived at the dinner with five minutes to spare.
"Thank you Edward." I said as I leaned over to give him a quick kiss.
"Anytime, baby." He replied before pulling me in for another kiss which lasted allot longer than the first.
Eventually I was forced to pull away or risk being late.
"Edward I have to go to work now." I giggled as he growled and nuzzled my neck. "I'll see you in a few hours." I gave him one last chaste kiss on the lips before opening my door and getting out.
I walked into work feeling the happiest I had in years. Edward had made me forget about all the bad things that had happened in my life and were still happening. He had made me live again.
Work past uneventfully, Irena thankfully was still leaving me alone for whatever reason. Edward came in as usual and waited patiently for my shift to end before driving us to our class.
"I wish you didn't work so much, love." Edward said as he was driving me to my second job at the book store. "I know I haven't known you long but I've noticed how tired you get."
I looked down at my hands and sighed. "I know Edward but I have to."
"I don't want to pry baby, but..." He paused nervously. "Surly you don't need three jobs to pay for rent, food and bills."
"Edward I know your just being nice, but can we please not talk about this?" I asked in a mixture of anger and sadness. "If I didn't need all three jobs believe me I would quit as soon as possible."
"Okay I'm sorry baby. I didn't mean to make you mad I just care about you." He said so tenderly my slight anger at him melted away instantly.
"It's okay." I said as we pulled up outside the book store. "Thank you!"I gave Edward a quick kiss before jumping out of the car. I heard Edward's window roll down so I turned to face him.
"Call me when you get home okay?" He asked. I nodded before running inside and starting work.
Work was unbelievably boring, over the five hours of my shift a total of three people came in to the store, only two of which actually bought anything. I waited impatiently for the clock on the wall to tell me I could go home and as soon as the minute hand hit the number twelve I was already out the door.
I hummed to myself as I made my way to the metro. I had to wait about ten minutes for my train to arrive and quickly pushed my way on once the doors opened. Today I was lucky enough to get a seat next to an old couple and not some sleezy guy. It made me smile when I saw them holding hands, I imagined how wonderful it would be to find your soul mate, the one person who you would stay madly in love with for the rest of your life.
The train pulled up to my stop and I quickly hopped off. I walked the three blocks to my apartment building and made my way up the seven flights of stairs. I walked to the end of the hall to my door and stopped dead in my tracks.
The door had been broken down and had a chunk broken off.
I cautiously moved through the door way, feeling my heart rate beating wildly in my chest and my breathing coming faster in anticipation. With shaky hands I moved the broken part of the door out of my way so I could get past easier.
I flicked on the light switch next to the door and surveyed the damage. The coffee table was broken in two, my small settee was led on its side and had slash marks across the material causing the filling to come oozing out. All of my books, DVD's, CD's and ornaments were lying across the floor haphazardly. Even the contents of my cupboards and fridge-freezer were lying around the room.
I moved on to look in my bedroom, briefly stopping to check out the damage in the bathroom as I went. The mirror was smashed, the shower curtain torn down and the contents of my cabinets in here were lying on the floor also.
My bedroom was just as bad as the other two rooms. All my clothes lying on the floor, bed tipped over, curtains ripped off the railing. As I walked further into the room I felt something crunch underneath my foot, I bent down to investigate. It was a picture frame, one I knew instantly held one of the few pictures of my parents and I. I felt my tears slide down my cheeks as I looked at the picture, I was only about nine or ten and it was Christmas day, we were all sat on the floor in our pyjamas in front of the Christmas tree. So much had changed.
Standing up I held the picture close to my chest as I looked around once more before walking back to the main room. I looked around the main room feeling the tears fall faster. Why me? Why is it always me? Hadn't I had enough sadness in my life? It was probably because I had been so happy lately fate or karma or some other force decided to throw this at me.
As I was walking through the mess I noticed a rectangular brown envelope with a post-it note on the front on the kitchen counter. I picked it up and read the note as I pulled out the contents.
My blood ran cold.

After dropping Bella off Alice called telling me to meet her at the Starbuck's on 5th. Once I got there I had a quick coffee with my sister before she herded me to the car. She only wanted me to have coffee with her so that I could drive her and all of her shopping bags home.
"Why couldn't you catch a cab?" I asked annoyed.
"You expect little old me to stand on the street with all of these bags, waving my arms around waiting for a cab?" She asked. "Do you want me to get mugged?"
I rolled my eyes at her dramatics even though it was quite possible.
I was currently eating dinner with Em, Jas, Alice and Rose. I wasn't a great cook. Sure I could make excellent pancakes but that was as far as my culinary skills stretched. Tonight Alice and Jasper had made dinner together. They had made stuffed chicken breasts with roast potato slices and vegetables and it was absolutely delicious.
"Al this is soooo good!" Emmett exclaimed.
"Hey what about me?" Jasper asked with a slight smile.
"Oh sorry, you too, this is so yummy!"
I laughed at his child like complement but agreed wholeheartedly. "He's right guy's its delicious." I told them.
"Why thank you, I do try my best." Alice giggled. Jasper leaned over, wrapping one arm around her shoulders and placed a kiss on her forehead. The affectionate actions making me wish Bella were here. As if reading my mind my phone vibrated, I knew it was rude to answer the phone at the table but the caller ID told me it was Bella and I was not going to ignore my girl. I looked up and smiled apologetically to Alice while pointing to my phone, she just rolled her eyes but had a smile on her face, the actions completely contradicting each other. I flipped open my phone and put it to my ear.
"Hey baby, to what do I owe the pleasure of this call?" I asked with a goofy smile on my face. I knew she was probably just ringing to say she was home like I had asked her to but I thought I'd ask anyway.
"E-Edward?" Bella crooked out as she sniffled.
My smile instantly disappeared as I sat up straighter.
"Love, what's wrong? Are you okay?"
"Edward someone b-broke into my a-apartment! It's completely t-trashed!" She cried.
"What!" I shouted, causing my family to look at me in shock. "Baby stay there I'm coming to get you okay?"
"Okay. Thank you Edward." She sniffled.
"Anytime baby. Just stay there and be careful, I'm on my way." I told her as I got out of my seat and was searching for my keys.
"I'll see you in a few minutes. Bye."
"Bye baby."
Once I found my keys I grabbed my jacket and headed for the door but was stopped by Emmett placing a hand on my shoulder.
"What's wrong Ed?" He asked.
"It's Bella. Someone's broken into her apartment. It's completely trashed." I told him wanting to leave already.
"What!" Rosalie exclaimed. "Okay we're coming with you." She stated rather than asked.
"Rose you won't all fit in my car! Plus I'm gonna tell Bella to pack her stuff, there is no way I'm letting her stay there now!" I told her.
"I know that dickwead. We can take Em's car as well."
I wasn't sure what to do. I knew that Bella didn't want anyone else to know where she lived but this way we could have her packed up and ready to go so much quicker not to mention if she decided to be difficult about moving out it would be good to have extra people there to back me up. I knew that once they saw the area she lived in they wouldn't want her to stay there either.
"Fine." I relented. God I hope Bella doesn't kill me.
We ran out to our cars and sped away in record time.
Rose and Emmett were in his car and were following me. I had Alice and Jas with me.
"I hope she's okay. Did she say if there was anybody there?" Alice asked.
"All she said was that somebody had broken in and it was trashed so I'm guessing nobody was there."
We fell back into silence as we were coming into Bella's neighbourhood. I pulled up in front of her apartment building and got out.
I heard the doors close as Alice and Jasper got out as well and Rose and Emmett pulled up.
"Edward is...is this were Bella lives?" Alice asked sadly.
I nodded.
"Jesus." Was all Emmett had to say.
"I know but please don't say anything that'll upset Bella 'kay? She specifically said she didn't want anyone else knowing where she lived, she was embarrassed and doesn't want anybodies pity." I told them seriously, warningly.
"Of course we won't!" Alice said.
"Good. Okay let's get up there." I said, smiling internally at the look that would be on their faces when they realised they had seven flights of stairs to climb.
I got to Bella's floor first, shortly followed by the others.
"Bloody hell Edward! Why didn't you tell us we had seven fucking flights of stairs to haul our asses up?!" Rose shouted at me.
"Sorry Rose." I shrugged with a grin.
"Asshole." She muttered.
I laughed and led the way down the hall to Bella's. As we got closer to her door I noticed it had been kicked in, part of it broken off. Without a second thought I ran the rest of the way.
"Bella!" I called as soon as I entered.
"Edward!" Bella whimpered from the floor. She was sat leaning against the kitchen counter with her knees pulled up against her chest.
"Oh baby." I said as I kneeled down beside her and pulled her shaking body into my arms. Her small hands clung onto my shirt as she sobbed into my chest.
"Edward?" She asked quietly a few minutes later.
"Yeah baby?"
"What are they doing here?"
I pulled back and looked at her, I followed her gaze and saw Em, Jas, Alice and Rose stood by the door staring wide eyed at the destruction caused.
"Oh baby I'm sorry. Once they heard someone had broken in they wanted to help. I know you didn't want them to see where you live but they care about you, honey. Almost as much as I do." I told her hoping she'd forgive me.
"Okay." She said simply.
Well that was not the reaction I was expecting.
I looked around the mess that was here apartment again.
"Baby, you can't stay here. We need to pack up your stuff, your moving in with me." I told her. There was no way I was going to let her change my mind, this area was unsafe as it is not to mention now having a broken door.
"Edward I can't-" She started but I cut her off with a kiss.
"Yes you can Bella. You have a broken door so you can't stay here, the area is dangerous anyway. Besides I want you to move in with me." I finished.
"But Edward are you sure? Moving in with you is a big deal, and we've known each other what? Two weeks?"
"I don't care if I've only known you two weeks. I know you and I know how I feel about you. I'm sure about this." I promised.
"Are you sure you're sure?" She asked seriously.
I laughed lightly before answering. "I've never been surer of anything in my life."
Her big brown eyes stared into mine for a little while longer before she smiled slightly. "Okay." She said quietly.
I grinned widely and pulled her into a hug, kissing the top of her head.
"Thank you love." I pulled away and gave her a short but passionate kiss on her plump lips. "Now come on, let's get packing." I smiled at her and pulled her to her feet.
Bpov (before Edward arrives)
I said bye to Edward and closed the phone. My eyes of their own accord moved to the package on the floor.
There, lying on the floor around my feet were five pictures of Edward and I walking down the street together, hand in hand. In one of the pictures Edward had me pressed against the side of his car, passionately kissing me.
I felt the tears fall even faster as I looked at the note that accompanied the pictures.
We'll know if you break the rules
Keep your mouth shut!
