Hey, I am terribly sorry about the wait... I have had a terribly busy night and then with Breaking Dawn and all- I have barely been able to get to my computer.

Once more I apologize for the such long delay in the updates, and i apologies that it isn't terribly long. But this chapter is mainly just so you see what is happening with Edward.


Thanks for the reviews, alerts, and favorites! They mean so much to me!

E P.O.V-

'Finally some peace and quite'

I had been running around all day working an extra shift at the hospital today since Zac is out sick this week, and I have been non-stop. I had gotten home an hour ago and Tanya had been bothering me ever since.

I had been dating Tanya on and off for the past year now and it has been… um, well… interesting. I mean at first I couldn't get enough of her. She was in my every thought, every dream, every waking moment of my life- but that was back then. We had a couple of good nights, but I think it was more lust then love. I mean, I am content where I am right now, but I don't feel any where close to as deeply as she does me.

Anyway, I have finally convinced her to go back to her house, but not after a few whines and whimpers, but I now, finally, had the rest of the night to myself. The thought was comforting.

I picked up a random book laying on the coffee table and laid down on the couch in front of the living room. I notice the book was a screen play of "A Midsummer Night's Dream." It was one of my favorite Shakespeare plays, after Romeo and Juliet of course, and started to read. I could feel my eyes starting to close after the second page and before I knew it, i was in a peaceful sleep.

I woke up to the sound of the phone. I got up and looked at the caller i.d. It was, of course, Tanya. I let it go to voicemail as I went to go get something to eat.

From the kitchen, I could hear her nasally voice telling me she misses me and that she needs to come over tonight. I rolled my eyes at the need part.

I pulled out some eggs, cheese, and some random vegetables deciding to make an omelet.

It took only a few minutes to cut the vegetables up, cook the egg, throw everything in, and then flip it and yet, in those few minutes Tanya continued to call again, and again and again.

I sighed. I really was going to have to talk to her about that.

I ate my breakfast in peace thanks to me talking the phone off the hook… by accident oh course…. Oops! I was very proud of myself, it was actually pretty good. I was going to have to thank Esme for that.

After my quite lovely breakfast, I decided that I would take nap because after all I was terribly tired after working over time the night before.

"Oh, Edward! I thought something terrible had happened to you!" I shot up from my bed, at the terribly high pitched voice I knew, sadly, all to well.

I rubbed my right eye involuntarily while yawning. I shook my head slightly and with my best 'I am trying not to be annoyed with you voice' said, "Yes, Tanya. I am perfectly fine."

"Oh, well I tried calling, like, a million times and I was starting to get worried. You weren't picking up and every time I just got the busy tone. I, like totally, rushed over here to see if you were ok. Oh Edward!" she drowned on. With the last few words she threw herself into my arms.

Let me tell you, it took me practically everything in me to not roll my eyes at that. With that thought I mentally scolded myself 'she is your girlfriend. You can at least be a little bit nicer to her'. I knew that my sub-conscious was right so I started to whisper random enlightening things in her ear.

After a few minutes, she released me from her death lock. She stared into my eyes and then smiled. "Thank you." She said.

I simply nodded my head. I figured I would tell her the good news now, rather then wait until the next time I saw her.

"Tanya," I paused. "You know how for the past few days I have been worked really hard at the hospital since Zac is on vacation? Well, because of that my boss told me I can have the next week off of work."

She smiled and then leaned into my ear and whispered "Good…. I have a present for you." It was obvious to me that she was trying to be seductive. I couldn't help but wonder what I had been on when I first met her to actually find it seducing, because I all but wrinkled my nose now.

I tried to return a smile but it felt wrong. I just knew that it would look forced, that is it would look forced to anyone, but Tanya who apparently thought nothing of it.

It took a few more hours of just talking (when I say talking I mean having to listen to her pathetically 'tragic' stories of her and her best friend Jessica getting thrown out of a hair salon for screaming at a man who caused her to get a broken nail.) until Tanya had finally left.

"Oh dear," I heard her say. "I totally forgot. I agreed to travel to New Jersey tomorrow for a meeting and I was told I was going to have to stay for two days. I am so sorry Edward I never-"

I didn't hear much after that. I felt a smile creep onto my face.

I was going to have all of the next two days to myself since Tanya had to travel for her job.

Ah, this was going to be good.

I can safely say the next chapter will be out soon since I am half way done with it already. Review Please?

Thanks again for reading.
