EPILOGUE:

Edward thinks Bella is hiding something from him and he obsesses on finding it out what it is.

Is she actually hiding something or is he just being paranoid?

Things get intense because of Edward's obsession to find out what purchases are being made by Bella and Alice.

BPOV

So we were finally home after the weekend. School was starting up again tomorrow. Alice and I were sitting on the love seat browsing the Internet on her laptop. We were looking up different things online to buy. First we looked clothes, which I pretended to be interested in to tease Edward, since he had no idea what exactly we were looking at. I know he kept suspecting sex toys since he threw the one out. I told Alice she had to block her thoughts and she said she had that covered. Then we were actually looking up sex toys and we would click on certain ones and giggle and I tried my hardest not to blush but at times it was too difficult and I would let it slip. It was a little weird to look up sex toys with your best girlfriend but it was well worth it.

"Oh wow, Alice, look at that one. Do you think it would fit?" We giggled. Now I could have been talking about a piece of clothing or a sex toy.

"Mm.. maybe, I'm not sure."

"I mean if anything I could try and make it fit." We giggled again. We slightly looked up at Edward and he was running his hand through his hair, agitated.

"Yeah but you don't want to stretch it too much." We laughed. She could have been talking about clothes that if I tried fitting in but was to small, that I could stretch out the material.

"Oh Alice click on that one. Mm.. that looks, wow. Isn't that crazy?"

"Wow yeah. Could you imagine?" We giggled. We couldn't stop.

"I think that's one I may consider. Put that in the check out cart at the top."

"You think you could handle that?" She could have been referring to an outfit and if I could pull it off. Seeing if I have the capabilities of making the style look right. We just smiled at each other. We looked over and saw Edward stretching out his neck as if he was trying to calm himself down. Not sexual wise but frustration and curiosity wise. I smiled.

"Edward, is something wrong?" I asked.

He stopped fidgeting. "What, me? No, I'm perfectly fine."

"Oh okay. If you say so."

"Oh Bella, look at this."

"Oh geez. I've never seen one like that before. It says that it adjusts to your body." For this one she could have been implying stretchy jeans or something of that sort that fits to your body. I loved this.

"Alice, look at this one. Look at the texture. Do you think it's soft enough? Like will it feel good on my skin?" I wanted it to sound as though it could apply to a coat or sweater. But it also sounded like a sex toy.

I think Edward has had enough torture. "I think that's good for today Alice."

"Yeah, we can look up some later."

"Oh wait, did you order that one thing?"

"Yup." She looked over at Edward. He was just staring at the two of us. Creepy.

"Oh wait, before you close it, don't forget to delete the history."

"Oh right. Good thinking." We both giggled. I looked at Edward with a smirk. He had a straight face that was hard to determine what emotion he was expressing.

"Alice let's go into the kitchen. I could really go for a banana." I saw him close his eyes. Then we giggled again.

I love teasing him.

Later that day Edward and I went upstairs. I had to head home soon so I wanted to spend some time alone with him. I mean sure later tonight he'd come over to my house but still.

"Edward, are you okay? You've been quiet since we left Alaska." I knew why.

"I'm perfectly fine."

"Are you sure? Because it seems to me something is bothering you. It wouldn't happen to do something with something I may have ordered online would it?"

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"Oh okay, that's good."

"Why is that 'good'?" he asked.

"What do you mean?"

"Well you basically said that it's good that I don't know what you're talking about."

"Oh did i? Mm.. I just meant that it's probably better that you don't know what I bought."

"Why is that?"

"Shh… you'll just get cranky."

"I do not get cranky."

"Besides, I think you know what I'm talking about. Right?"

He didn't say anything.

I went into Alice's room to ask her something. "Alice did you get that package sent to here or my house?"

"Oh to your house. I thought that'd be better."

"Okay, awesome. Thanks."

"Yup, no problem."

I went back into Edward's room. He didn't say anything. I know he overheard but I'm enjoying this too much.

Edward drove me home and came back later that night. He was a little quiet but seemed to put his thoughts about this recent obsession aside. We made love and laid there together the rest of the night. I think he may have wanted to show me how his love and passion during sex is nothing that a dildo can provide. I know he's right; I just love teasing him like this. I don't take him for granted and I want to make sure he knows that and that I love him and what he's 'carrying' is much more than what any mechanical sex toy can provide. But I most definitely showed him that while we made love. I showed extreme passion and love toward him. During then he seemed to put aside his new obsession and was himself again.

It's been a few days since I ordered my package. When I got home Charlie told me there was a package on the table. I got it and took it straight upstairs.

It was a new pair of boots and a nice winter jacket that Alice bought for me. I didn't want her to get it for me but she wouldn't let it go. Plus I wanted to stick to my New Year's resolution. I called her. I knew Edward would hear and rush right over here.

EPOV

Alice's phone was ringing. She was up in her room while I was downstairs but I could still hear her.

"Hello?"

"Oh hi Bella."

"It came? Yay! I'll be over soon to see it. Did you try it? Does it fit?"

I got big eyed. Did she actually buy one?

"Okay, awesome. I'll be over soon."

Alice left without saying where she was going. Normally I don't care but I knew where she was going. I had to follow her to Bella's. I would wait until she left and then go into her bedroom.

I hid in the forest next to her house but I could hear what was happening.

BPOV

There was knock at the door. "Alice come on in!"

"So, where is it?" Alice asked.

"Its upstairs, come on."

We ran upstairs.

"Oh wow Bella its better than we thought."

"I know right. Doesn't it fit really well?"

"Most definitely." We giggled knowing he was outside the house. "Now, was it tight but it adjusted or no?"

"Um, well it was a little at first but now it feels great."

"Well that's great then. I'm so happy."

"Thanks so much for getting it for me Alice. You really didn't have to."

"It's no problem. I saw it and immediately thought of you. Especially after we had talked about it before."

"True. Thanks again."

"Okay, I'm out of here. Jasper and I are going hunting near by."

"Okay, talk to you in a bit."

She got into her car and took off. I went back up stairs. I put the boots and jacket away but the box was still on my desk.

A few minutes later Edward climbed into my bedroom.

"Oh hey Edward. What are you doing here so early?" I knew why.

"Just wanted to stop by."

"Well it's a great surprise." I went over and kissed him.

He kissed me back but I could tell he was distracted.

He saw the box. Here we go.

"Oh, you got a package?"

"Yup. Came today."

"What did you get?"

"Just random stuff."

"What kind of stuff?"

"Nothing important. Alice bought it for me."

"Oh, really? Can I see it?" He is so nosey.

"Since when are you so interested in what Alice buys me?"

"I don't know. I guess I'm just curious." He's walking around my room, looking for something. I would figure he knows every inch of this room and is just looking for something different or out of place. Too bad it's in the closet and he can't see.

"Do you think I'm hiding something?"

"I don't know, are you?"

"No. What would give you that impression?"

"Just you're acting different. Secretive almost."

"Oh really? You have no room to talk." I paused. "Edward, you've been acting different since we left Alaska. Why is that?"

"No I haven't."

"Okay, if you say so."

"How come the box has no label on it?"

"Oh, it doesn't? Sometime they don't put it on there, incase you don't want people to know what you bought. At least that's what Alice told me from another package she had ordered."

"Oh. Did you buy something you don't want people to know you bought?"

"Um, no. I guess that company just has that as a standard procedure."

"And what company is that?"

"It's a privately owned company. I don't know what it's called, Alice buys stuff from there a lot." Oh my god now he is thinking that Alice buys sex toys all the time. Ha this is great! I don't want to keep it up too much longer or he'll start to actually get mad.

"Oh. Okay. Are you planning on using the item tonight?"

"Well not tonight. And it's items, not item. Plural." Haha now he thinks I bought more than one.

"You bought more than one?" he snapped at me. I caught him off guard.

"Well, actually I didn't buy them. Alice did. They were having a sale so she wanted to take advantage of it. Plus, I'm trying to stick to my New Years resolution."

"Do you think it will be better? You know, than mine?"

"Um, probably. I mean, this fits better and looks better." I was actually referring to me always wearing his clothes.

"Looks better? Fits better?"

"Yeah why?"

"I think I should go."

"Edward Cullen, get back here!" I want to set this straight or this will drive him mad.

"No, no. I'll be back later."

"But…" but he had already left. I'm going to call Alice and let her know.

EPOV

I just left Bella's. Did she actually buy that thing? Or should I say 'things'? I have to get to the bottom of this.

I arrived home and heard Alice on the phone, probably with Bella.

"Bella, he's not mad at you."

"Calm down, I'm sure he isn't."

Bella thinks I'm mad at her? I didn't intend for her to think that. I just want to know what the hell is going on. Great, now I feel like a jerk.

"Okay Bella, maybe just be straight with him?"

"Just relax and then give him a call. Or talk to him when he goes over to your house tonight."

"Okay, I'll talk to you later."

Then she hung up.

I walked up to my room. Alice caught me in the hallway.

"Hi Edward."

"Hi Alice."

"What you up to?"

"Um, nothing, going to my room."

"How come you left Bella's?"

I turned to her. "How did you know I was at Bella's?" She had a little shock on her face.

"I had a vision, I saw you there." Quick recovery. Nice one.

"Oh, um, I just felt like leaving."

She chuckled.

"What?"

"You wanted to leave Bella? That's the first."

"Well, I think she's hiding something from me."

"What could she possibly be hiding from you?"

"The package?"

"What package?" Don't try and play dumb with me.

"You know what package I'm talking about. The one that was at her house."

"Edward, you know, you don't have to know everyone's business. Maybe it's private."

I didn't say anything. I know she's right. It's just that I want to know if Bella has one.

"I know but I asked her what was in the box and she diverged the request."

"I don't know Edward. Maybe it is something for girls and she's embarrassed to talk about it with you. I can't read her mind either Edward."

Ugh.

"Why don't you tell me what you think it is Edward and I'll say yes or no?"

"Fine, a dildo?"

"No."

"Really? Not a sex toy?"

"Nope, you already asked your one question. You can't get another."

"Damn it Alice!" She giggled. Ah!

BPOV

The next day a package arrived for Alice. I was at her house and I saw her take it from the UPS man. She took it right into her room. I followed her. She seemed ecstatic about it.

We were both in her bedroom now.

"Wow Alice, I've never seen one like this before. I mean I don't have much experience with this stuff but still." Now we were indeed talking about sex toys.

"Don't worry Bella, you'll enjoy it."

"I'm only going to use this at certain times."

"Yeah, understandable." Oh man if he's hearing this.

I put the one down and picked up another.

"Oh my god Alice. This looks so real. And it looks just like Edward's."

"Oh my god Bella, TMI!"

"Oh sorry. I was speaking out loud. I've made that mistake before." We started giggling.

All of a sudden Alice's bedroom door flung open.

"What the hell?" I yelled in shock as I was turning around.

We quickly were trying to put the blanket over the stuff as he stood in the doorway.

Alice stepped forward.

"Hello Edward, may we help you?"

"Just wondering what you girls are up to."

"Nothing really. I ordered some things and Bella is looking through it with me."

"What did you get?"

"None of your bees-wax, it's private."

"Did Bella purchase anything?"

"No she did not."

He squinted his eyes. Oh no, he's picking his words carefully.

"Let me rephrase that… did you buy any of these on Bella's behalf?"

Alice didn't say anything. "What if I did?"

He looked up at me, I was blushing. There was no stopping it.

"Bella?"

"What?" I acted like I wasn't listening and didn't know what they were talking about.

"Did Alice buy anything for you?"

"Um, what? Maybe, I'm not sure. It's possible." I kept stuttering and rambling.

"Edward, a girl has a right to privacy."

"Oh I know that. But Bella usually tells me everything so I became suspicious. I thought that maybe the purchase involved a substitute to provide a possible incapability on my part. If that is the case I would think I have the right to know so we could discuss it instead of leaving it in the dark."

"Well, you have no reason to suspect anything from her."

"Okay, let me ask her one question then."

"Uh, guys I'm standing right here. I can hear everything you're saying." Duh.

"Fine, Bella, did Alice buy you a dildo?" He was so serious in the question it was hard not to laugh. I had to compose myself.

I started to sweat and stutter. "Um, it's possible. I know there was mentioning of one. One may have come in the mail… I can't remember. I, um…." I sound like an idiot.

"Damn it Bella!" Did he just yell at me? He's never yelled like that to me before.

I jumped back. What the hell? "Don't you freakin' yell at me Edward Cullen! You've never yelled at me before so don't start now!" He didn't say anything. He didn't realize he raised his voice to me. It took both of us off guard. He's never done that before.

Alice got big eyed and ran out of the room. Edward stepped inside and shut the door.

I decided to give up and tell him. Something that was a game turned into a disaster. Damn Edward and his paranoia and overreacting. "You know what, yes, Alice bought me a dildo. No, the package that came to my house was not full of sex toys, they were clothes. You just interpreted the package contained sex toys because you've been paranoid ever since we got back from Alaska."

"Bella, I…" He wanted to apologize. He felt horrible for yelling at me. I cut him off.

"Edward, I got one because I was curious. It has nothing to do with something you can't provide for me. Believe me, you satisfy me plenty in bed. The different comments we were saying were just to tease you. It was fun. I didn't think you'd go as far as this to just get an answer. You need to tone it down a notch. Like right now."

"Why does it bother you that I have one anyways? Is it seriously because you think it will satisfy me more than you? Because that is foolish. It is a substitute but it is not as pleasurable as what you give me."

"But why do you need it then? Is there something you want me to improve on?" Wow, is Edward Cullen feeling insecure? Damn. That's a first.

"I have it as a back up I guess. For when you go away for a week or so. The one I got looks just like yours. The size is almost the same." I leaned over to pick it up. "Look, see."

He couldn't help but laugh. "Is that what mine looks like to you? It's funny seeing it like this. Do you think it will really give you pleasure?"

He was distracted turning around, looking at the other stuff in the box. "Mmm… I'm not sure..." I paused for a few seconds. "…I guess I'll go find out." I ran really fast to Edward's bathroom. I think he didn't even realize that I was gone. He was too blown away from all the stuff Alice bought. But then he noticed and he jumped up and followed me to the bathroom door.

I knew he was outside the door.

"Damn Edward, it is almost as big as you. It's almost all the way in." I gasped. I hope he heard me. "This will be great for when you leave… Holy F-"

"Bella, don't you dare put that in you!"

"Too late Edward, you took too long."

"The hell I have!"

He busted down the door. It was in me. It stretched me out and he was looking at it. I think it turned him on but also made him jealous of it. Too funny. I can't believe there are men out there that are jealous of a dildo. I mean I guess I understand their perspective but still.

He picked me up and took me to his bed while it was still in me. He looked down and took it out, slowly. I moaned.

"Edward I feel empty. What will I put in there now? Maybe I'll go get one of Alice's other toys." I started to crawl off the bed. He tackled me down. I yelped.

Then I felt something. "Ow, what the hell?"

"What's wrong? Did I hurt you?"

I put my hand under my back. It was a CD case.

"What is this?"

"I'm not sure. It's not mind."

I opened it up. "It says 'Merry Christmas Edward and Bella'. It says DVD on the bottom. I wonder whom it's from. Maybe something the Denali's sent? A New Year's present or something? I'm going to put it in." Edward has a flat screen in his room so I put it in there. Since I was up I threw on one of his long shirts.

When it started it said "New Year's at the Denali's" and it had the picture of Edward and me together, as well as other pictures of everyone from Alice's camera.

"This is so cute." I looked at Edward and he smiled at me. He was glad I'm enjoying the gift.

Then it was a video. I tried to look closer. I felt the blood rush from my face.

"Oh my god Edward, is that us in the hot tub?" It had audio and everything. "Edward you can hear us… our moans and talking." I can't believe this!

His eyes were focused on the screen in shock. I fast-forwarded it.

"Edward, that's us in the hallway where you put your hand up my dress!"

I fast-forwarded it more. "What the hell? Is that the bathroom? When we were in the shower! Oh my god Edward, do you hear that? That's us making those sex noises. I think I'm going to be sick."

I fast-forwarded it more. "That's where my dress flew up! Kill me now! Do you think this is the only copy?"

"Holy F, that's when you put your hand up my dress when we were sitting on the couch!"

"Do you think it has us in bed?"

"I don't think so. It wasn't on the disc. And we would have noticed if someone tried coming in." He was as confused and shocked as I was.

"Who the hell did this?" I fast-forwarded it some more and there were clips of us when we'd make out, teasing each other with our bodies, or groped each other. Audio was throughout the whole thing. If it weren't noises or dirty talk from us it was some type of offensive music. It was ending and it had our picture in the background of me with my legs around Edward.

I had my face in my hands and I started to cry. Edward was trying to calm me down. I kept worrying if there were other copies and who the hell made it.

"Edward, your family is going to think I'm some type of whore." I kept crying.

That's when we heard it.

"This has been an 'Emmett Cullen Production'. Free samples were given out to the guests at the Denali Family's New Years Eve party.

My mouth was wide open in shock and Edward had the same response.

A few seconds later Emmett showed up at the door. "So what did you guys think? You should really check out the website, we've had over 400 copies sold just tonight. Can you imagine what we'll sell within the next few weeks? Plus all the other material I have… this is going to be great!"

I turned to him. "You're gonna pay for this you asshole!"

Edward got up and gave him the craziest death stare I've ever seen.

Emmett realized Edward's response. "Oh shit!" And Emmett took off. Edward chased after him. I sat on the bed in shock. I didn't know what to do next.

I let myself fall backwards on the bed. I closed my eyes in frustration.

"Fuckin' asshole."

I hope you liked the sequel. Please let me know.

Thanks. Review please.
