A/N:

Hello Lovelies,

I know chapter 2 left you hanging not knowing…but now I am back and the chapters will get longer as we progress I promise.

I am sorry that this is a day late as well…I ended up working on my normal day off and well yeah…it sucked. Please forgive me! And to make it up I have a really long chapter for all of you this time

So regarding the full length EPOV I decided to give Edward in his point of view.

Edward: Was that necessary?

ColormeRed: *chokes on ice tea, and begins coughing*

Wholly shit. Edward?

*blushes profusely*

Ummm….yes. Your story sort of took over. EVERYTHING

.*continues coughing*

Edward: Well if you think so I don't mind spending a little time inside your mind. *winks*

ColormeRed: *faints*

Edward: I realized maybe my point of view is more important to the story. Especially in my character development. On behalf of CMR over there on the floor.

*Motions with Hand*

I would just like to take a moment to say I never thought CMR here would be anything more than a reader. Now here she is inspired enough to write out her take on things.

It's just amazing. Thank you.

Chapter 3: Present Bella 26

I laid my baby girl in her bed. She was smiling in her sleep and when I looked at her she made me feel at peace with the life I have. She's worth it. It was all worth it. I thought to my self.

I made my way across the hall and started the bath. Adding my favorite scented wash that smelled of freesias and strawberries. The water was hot, so I went and filled a glass of wine. Blush of sorts Zinfandels Café. It was sweet, and had a sultry taste when chilled, and it was light on the tongue which I liked.

I stepped into the water, one toe at a time and then lowered myself into the Jacuzzi tub that was in my master bedroom.

Contentment swirled around me, and I clicked my ipod on low. Letting the sounds of Claire de Lune encompass me.

This was his favorite song. I sighed, and shut it off.

Some ones on the brain huh?

I have to admit, yes he was, but he would never know. Well tonight was a night I would let me self remember. Tomorrow I would need to lock this up again. Some where in my mind, where he couldn't hurt me.

~*~o~*~

BPOV: PAST

We had exchanged phone numbers. With promises to call each other again, that was the plan. After our visit to Alice's room, we had danced and drank and it was a good old time. He was one of the last people to leave and he never let go of me the rest of the night.

We talked about trivial things, age, ambitions, schools we were or had attended. You know the basic things you would talk about with any college peer.

"I am twenty," he had told me.

"Oh awesome, I am 24 technically. My birthday is September 13th, so just a few hours from now." I said.

He had pulled me close to him then and said in a low husky voice, "Happy Birthday, Isabella."

For some reason it had given me goose bumps and I was completely turned on again.

An hour or two later, he was leaving and he promised to call me soon. We were still a little intoxicated. Me a little more so than I had originally thought. However, nothing was going to deter me from thinking about this man. I had just had the best sex of my life with and if I could help it he would be in my bed hopefully with in the next couple of nights. I smiled internally at myself knowing full well that was a sluttish thing to think.

Who's the SLUT now Isabella?

~*~o~*~

The next morning was when it hit me. Oh my god, please tell me I didn't just do that.

I rolled over and was met with two sets of eyes starring at me.

"Do you guys know it is illegal to come into a house with out permission? It's called breaking and entering." I said.

"Pish Posh Bella, spill your guts now or forever regret it." She glared at me. Alice was looking extremely pist off…

"Excuse me?" I asked dumbly.

"I want to know why you had to use my bedroom for your indecent acts on my bed. There is white shit all at the foot of my bed." Alice continued on.

Rose just stood there. Her straight face was slowly cracking as we stared at each other. 3, 2, 1…

Next thing I know Rose and I are both doubled over laughing our asses off.

"Aahhh, she got, laugh white 'shit' on, laugh, your bed. Oh god!" She burst into tears she was laughing so hard.

Alice just stomped her foot.

"Guys…. Stop it!" She bellowed.

We stopped for just a second. Looked at her and busted up laughing. Then all of a sudden Alice was cackling along with us.

After a few minutes we finally calmed down enough to finish talking.

"So who was the hottie, Bella?" Rose chimed in.

"No way, I'm not telling. I don't want to jinx it." I shook my head back and forth.

"Rose it looks like we are going to plan B. You get her arms and I'll get her legs and we will dangle her above a cold bath of water, and…and she will talk!" Alice bellowed.

Rose nodded her head. "Okay sis we will do this your way".

They both took steps towards me, with stern looks upon their faces.

"Okay, okay!" I raised my palms to them to stop.

"His name is Edward, he's twenty and he goes to UW".

"So are you guys going to see each other again?" Alice put in. Acting animatedly now.

"Well that's the plan hopefully." I said smiling at myself.

"OMG! Yes! Bella girl I am so proud of you!" Rose said.

"Soooo…" Alice said.

"Sooo…what? "I replied.

"When are you going to call him? I really didn't get a good look of his face, I was sort of occupied I guess…" She replied, looking down at her feet.

"We know Alice…." I patted her on the shoulder… "Should I call him or should I wait for him?" I asked unsure.

"You should definitely wait for him to call you…you know give it a couple of days and then call." Alice said.

"I don't know Ali maybe she should call him first today because Bella might lose her nerve to call in a couple of days." Rose put in.

"Sister you're absolutely right." Alice whipped out her phone. "Dial it." She said thrusting the phone in my face.

I sighed and sat on the edge of my bed.

"Demanding little pixie", I said under my breath.

I dialed the digits and it began ringing… He answered on the second ring.

"Edward speaking." He came through with a strong voice.

"Hi, umm Edward. This is Bella, from last night."

"Oh hey, yes I very much remember". His voice lowered near the end and became sultry.

"I was hopping you would want to go out some time soon. Or maybe meet for coffee." I tucked a lose strand of hair behind my ear, chewing on my bottom lip. I looked up to see Alice and Rose standing really close probably trying to hear the conversation.

"How is coffee tomorrow? If it's cool with you? I am supposed to hang out with my brothers tonight. Sort of a guy's night out." He said.

I grinned. "Sounds perfect".

We made plans to meet at a local café and we would meet at twelve thirty. Alice insisted on helping me get ready the next day.

"So what do you want to do for your birthday?" Rose said sitting next to me on my bed.

"How about we hit that local spot. You know that club that just opened up. I just so happen to be on speaking terms with the new owner. You remember James from our ethics class?"

"Umm, you mean that guy who got Victoria pregnant?" I put in. "What about him now?"

"Well he owns this spot in town. Lots of lights and real fun should be a blast, are you in or are you going to be a downer?"

Alice walked in at that moment. "Can I bring a date?"

Rosie and I nodded. I smiled; I wish bronze Adonis could be there. Oh well, I sighed.

We dressed to impress, and headed out the door in a flash around 7 o'clock. The whole entire day was spent pampering our selves to champagne and watching chick flicks. So when we got in the taxi we were bubbling with alcohol in our veins. Tonight was Saturday and we were going to enjoy this immensely.

We arrived at Club Hunter sometime around eight o'clock. Rose had called in a head of time to make sure we wouldn't have to wait in line on a Saturday night. Which I was grateful because one look at that line, and you could be out here for hours. Plus I was in a skirt, and high heels. Not happening…

We entered into the club and went straight for the bar. Downing a couple of margaritas before we took the dance floor.

"So when is your prince charming getting here?" Rose yelled over the music to Alice.

"I don't know he should be here by now." Alice looked at her watch again.

"I am sure he is just stuck in traffic, sis."

I nodded in agreement.

We continued to dance to the music, and before we knew it we were stepping away from the dance floor to catch our breath in a booth.

"Do you think he stood me up?" Alice said looking pained.

"Him stand you up? Never, girl just give it a little more time." I put in. Wrapping my arm around her shoulder and kissing her cheek.

"Come on girls the night is young and so are we. Let's go shake it!" Rose was out of her seat pulling Alice and I with her in a flash.

We went to the bar first and we were all working on our third margaritas when I spotted that Jasper dude walking toward us. I turned and whispered in her ear.

"I think your prince charming has arrived."

She looked at me quickly and turned faster than I thought possible and then lunged her self at him even faster.

"Ugh…get a room." Rose said stepping closer to me.

"Well it looks like it's just us." I put in.

"Actually…I'm sorry Bells. I have a date too. His name is Emmett." She smiled hugely at me.

"Wait Emmett?" Jasper stepped over and said. "A big burly guy, with muscles and short hair and blue eyes?"

"Um yeah why?" Rose said.

"Well that guy is my older brother."

Both Rose and Alice almost dropped their drinks, I just snorted mine. Oh god this was rich….

"Ha Ha, and they are twins…oh god." I said slapping my leg. Pointing at Rose and Alice.

Jasper looked at me and then his eyes went wide. "Um if you will excuse me, I need to um- find Emmett for his date." Then he took off like a bat out of hell into the crowd.

"Well while you guys wait for your men to come back I am gonna go to the bathroom. Have fun with out me." I said, taking off in the direction of the ladies room.

It was hot in this club and I was already perspiring from the heat coming off the lights, and the dancing I had already taken part in.

I left the bathroom, and made my descent back towards the bar when I found both Rose and Alice standing next to their dates. I sighed…third wheel again…

I was about ten feet from them when some one reached out and grabbed my hand and jerked me back in the crowd.

What the….?

I turned getting ready to deck the fucker for grabbing me like that only to be met face to face with my Adonis.

"Edward?" I choked out.

"Isabella, fancy seeing you here," he smirked at me.

"Umm yeah, what are you doing here? I mean I know that it's a bar but like you know at the same one. That. I am. Attending?" I needed to shut up, word vomit is not attractive.

He just chuckled and shook his head.

"It seems we are by our selves tonight, my brothers had dates tonight apparently."

Wait what?

"Are you talking about the couples over there?" I said pointing in the direction of the bar where my two best friends sat with their dates.

"Yeah that's them why?" He said glancing at them and then me again.

I laughed out loud. Wholly Hell.

"Those are my best friends. You know the girls that were at the party last night?" I chuckled again. He laughed lightly too, but looking at his eyes, I could tell the laugh didn't reach them.

"I think we should give them some privacy, what do you think birthday girl?"

I glanced over at Rose and Ali making out like hormonal teenagers by the bar still with their men. Give me a break…

I hadn't answered him but I smiled a dazzling smile and he took my hand to lead me out to the dance floor.

Dancing with Edward had been complete lust and want, and now are movements were slow and delivered with precision. Taunting the other slowly and surely on purpose to drive the other completely in sane.

He was standing be hind me making quick work of my sides moving his hands over my stomach and down lower until they were on my hips and I was panting heavily.

I would try and get him to give in and eventually found myself moving my hands behind my back and would tease him by putting my fingers at the hem of his pants and brushed my fingers against the sensitive flesh that followed his happy trail.

He grunted.

"Isa-bella, you're a naughty girl."

I tilted my head back and leaned back against his chest.

"Only for you." I hummed.

He grunted again. I could feel his boner in my back side again.

"Edward." I whined. Pushing myself into him again.

"Isa…Isabella. You-you really know-h..how to get my heart going."

We didn't last long on the dance floor, and we had escaped through the back alley of the club laughing hysterically. He was holding my hand and wouldn't let go I noticed.

"Oh god, do you think they will come looking for us?"

"I hope not." He said as he then straightened himself and stepped in front of me, his eyes blazing with want and desire.

I gulped audibly.

"What are you doing Edward?" I said as he backed me up against the wall.

I breathed in and out audibly.

"Edward?" I said again but it was only a whisper this time. I whipped my head around to see if any one was out here and found us completely alone. The air between us singed my girly bits and I swear he looked like he wanted to take me right here and now. I was starting to get very excited.

"God, your so beautiful Isabella." He reached an attentive hand out and brushed from my cheek down to my chin.

I looked into his eyes and they were hooded and he looked even more handsome to me.

"No Edward, you're beautiful." I blurted out. Realizing my comment my eyes blazed wide open and a blush began to warm my body.

He chuckled.

"Can I kiss you Bella?" Our lips were just inches apart and I couldn't help but nod. Unwilling to break the bubble that surrounded us.

Our lips met once, twice, and thrice more before my arms locked around his neck, and his arms wrapped around my waist. He stepped forward a little more and my back was now fully touching the brick wall behind me.

My body instantly felt like a live wire and I leaned my head back when he started to descend onto my neck.

This time was different than the time before. I knew him although only for a little over 24 hours, but already his touch brought something out in me. Like I didn't need anything or anyone but him.

I pushed the thought away and just focused on what he was doing to my body. His hands danced about my waist as his one hand reached up and started playing with my boob. His thumb brushed over the nipple and I moaned audibly into his mouth.

"God Isabella… I love the sounds you make when I touch you."

I hummed in ecstasy as his lips started assaulted my color bone.

"God Edward, don't stop."

He lifted his eyes to mine then.

"Can I touch you, Bella?" He stared at me waiting for my answer.

"Y-yes please." I didn't care if we were in the back of an alley. All I cared about were his hands on me.

He was still looking at me as he lowered his hands down my waist.

My breath hitched when I felt his one hand reach down and graze the skin on my leg. My eyes almost rolled back so I decided to close my eyes. Not wanting him to see me so exposed like this.

"Look at me Isabella." He said in a rough raspy whisper.

"I want you to look at me when I touch you like this. I want to see what I can do to your body." He whispered into my ear before pulling back. His eyes were hooded and looking down at his body I could feel the bulge in his pants.

His fingers danced along the inside of my thigh, and my knees almost gave out.

He continued his assault and when his hands made contact with my wet panties, I let out a breath I apparently had been holding. I whimpered but kept looking into his eyes.

"God baby you are so wet."

"For-or your. You did that to me." I smiled at him. Leaning my head back against the wall behind me again.

He had maneuvered my panties down my thighs and to the floor. They pooled at my feet around my high heels. His finger began touching my wet folds and his fingers slipped easily around my slick wetness. I moaned out loud. No longer caring how embarrassing I might look or sounded.

I thought I was doing pretty well until he inserted not just one finger but two and thrust them inside me.

"Oh god, Ed-Edward." I gripped his arms and closed my eyes.

His lips were on me then. All over my neck, my chin, lips, and he eventually worked his way down to my chest.

"God I want you so badly Bella."

"Then take me."

It was like my words sent him into a frenzy and he began pulling my shirt down farther releasing one of my boobs from their confined cups of my bra.

"Oh y-yes don't stop." I whispered to him.

He took one of my nipples into his mouth and I thought I was going to come undone.

His one hand pumped furiously in and out of me while the other helped assault my nipple with his mouth. I balanced my self onto one leg which was quite hard for me and wrapped my other leg around his waist. It helped give access to where I needed him most.

I reached down and felt his cock through his pants and made quick work with the button and its zipper.

"I reached in and grasped his fully erect hard member in my hand and sighed.

"Oh shit." I heard him say and he looked up into my eyes.

I smiled prettily at him trying to be seductive.

He latched onto my neck and held me to him then with such force.

"Oh…I need."

"What do you need baby?"

"Edward I need you inside."

I started pulling down his pants, and he released my breast and helped pull everything down to release himself.

"Ungh…god Bella. I hope its okay but I want to fuck you so hard right now."

I groaned.

"Do it. Please take me." I practically growled at him. I put my hands in his hair as he hiked my leg higher up his side.

He grabbed my ass then and lifted my other leg around him. He used the wall for support as he brought the tip of his cock to my entrance and I shuddered with anticipation of him being inside me again.

"Do me, please." I grasped onto him harder and pulled his hair.

In that instant he sheathed himself inside me and I almost lost all train of thought as he pushed himself further inside.

"Oh baby, you're so fucking tight."

He stopped for a second while I adjusted to him being fully inside me again.

"Shit….moan… Edward you're so…moan… fucking big." I grunted into his shoulder and bit down.

He pulled in and out of me in an even pace and he seemed to have no problem holding me up like this. Which I was thankful because at this angle his cock did delicious things to me while I gripped him like he was my oxygen.

Mine.

I let my mind wander to that one thing. He was marking me his. I could feel it. Inside and out and I wasn't sure if I could handle this. I just met him last night and already I was having thoughts like this.

I think I am getting in over my head.

I grunted again as he changed angles.

"Fuck me, harder." I ground out and laid my head back against the wall again.

My stomach began to twist and turn as he complied with what I said.

"Isa- moan-Bella… I am not gonna last like this much longer….moan….come for me baby….moan…come on…moan…my cock…" It was like his words were all I needed to finish, and a few more quick thrusts into me and I swear I thought I was going to die. My orgasm rocked through my body and Edward continued pumping into me at the same pace. His thrusts harder as he grunted audibly against my nipple again.

Once, twice and thrice more he shuddered against me as I felt his release fill me and he pressed me against the wall harder as he held me in place and rested his head against my shoulder.

"Fuck Bella, that was…amazing."

I nodded in agreement.

He lifted his head and smiled at me. I said the only thing that really made since.

"Your place or mine?"

He smirked again. "Yours…definitely yours."

We quickly made work of righting ourselves and we both agreed that we would just send a text to our group that we were heading out. I turned off my phone and glancing at Edward I had seen that he was doing the same thing. I smiled to my self.

We then linked arms and walked down the alley to the main road and I giggled to myself knowing this man was about to spend the night with me.

"Hey I am feeling like some hot chocolate want to go real quick with me?" I looked up at him through my eye lashes.

"Sure that sounds really good right now."

As we approached I couldn't help but glance at him now and again and when we finally got there he had stepped in front of me to get the door.

Now in the light his hair was bronze, and unruly to say the least, and his eyes were a piercing green.

We made our orders and took a seat in one of the booths.

I was afraid it was going to be awkward but it wasn't. We talked about everything. He said he worked as a writer. Working on short stories, and stuff like that, so I mentioned to him about my dabbling in photography had actually set me up for my dream job.

"Photography really?"

"Yeah, I just like being able to capture something in time. I love what colors and light can do together". I blushed. No one really understands why I like to take pictures. He's the first person I have ever shared that with before.

"Your take on taking pictures is interesting. It's how I feel about writing. What words can create, the emotion words can derive. There's something beautiful about words that can explain emotions that you feel about a particular person…" He trailed off. I blushed again.

"That color on your skin, is beautiful." He whispered to me in my ear.

I shivered from his cool breathe at my neck.

He kissed me on my neck.

"Should we go to my place now?" I whispered looking at my cup of hot chocolate.

"Yes." He stood then reached out his hand and I held it as we made out way to my place.

I have never brought any one hear before and it kind of scared me knowing that this man was going to know where I lived and that I was bringing him home so I could sleep next to him.

I breathed deeply trying to control the panic attack that was settling in.

We made it to the entrance of my apartment building and walked through the entry way.

"Evening Miss Swan, have a good night."

"George, how many times have I told you please call me Bella." I smiled at him.

"How's the pregnant wife?"

"She's really good. Thanks for the cookies." I held my hand up. "No problem. I'll bring you some more this week." He nodded.

We made our way into the elevator and I took one look at him before I launched my self at him again.

We kissed in a frenzy. Touching each other as much as we could before the doors opened. We were met with a throat clearing.

"Excuse me." A man stepped into the elevator that I recognized as Mike Newton.

"Oh sorry Mike. Didn't see you there."

"Yeah Mike didn't see you there." Edward shot out of no where. I glanced at him and he looked irritated.

Mike just nodded. "So who is this?" He chimed.

"Edward." Edward said by my side. Mike reached out his hand but Edward just stared at him like he had grown an extra limb.

"Well Mike this is my floor. See you around." I said as I grabbed Edwards arm and pulled him through the now closing doors.

I stopped mid stride and rounded on him.

"What the fuck was that?"

"What are you talking about?" He looked innocently at me.

I glared.

"Bullshit you know exactly what. Mike didn't deserve that attitude." I kept my arms crossed in front of my self and quirked an eyebrow.

He rolled his eyes. "Seriously Bella it was nothing. I just didn't like the way he was eyeing my girlfriend." His eyes got all big and so did mine apparently because he started back pedaling.

"I mean…umm. I didn't…shit." He stopped talking and put his hands in his pockets.

That was the entire time I needed to clear my head. He wanted to be here and I wanted him to be there. So I smiled and stepped closer to him and brushed my lips against his.

"Yours." Was all I said and he looked up and smiled a little before he broke out into a full on breathtaking shit eating grin.

I smiled goofily at him too. I made my way to my door and unlocked it. Motioning for him to follow me in.

Luckily my place wasn't a mess.

My one bedroom flat apartment was something I was very proud of. This was my protective space and I just let some one in. I smiled internally at my self.

"The stereo is over there. Why don't you go pick something out?" I motioned over to my living room where the stereo sat. "Would you like a beer or some wine?"

"Umm I'll have a beer." He kissed me on the cheek then and made his way over to my CD Collection.

I got him a beer and poured me a glass of wine. My favorite blush.

"You have a pretty extensive collection of music," he said over his shoulder.

I smiled. "Thanks." I handed him his beer and Claire De Lune began filling my apartment.

"Good choice," I said as I made my way to my fire place and put a few logs in the fire place before turning the gas on and lighting a match. Letting the fire warm the logs before they caught fire and I turned off the gas.

"You have a nice place." He said from behind me.

I looked to find him sitting on my sofa, beer in hand and he looked like he fit there.

Yes, yes he did. Everything about him fit perfectly.

"Edward, what's your last name?" I blurted out.

He looked up to me then, and he didn't answer at first. He looked like he was making a choice in his mind about me.

"Cullen…Edward Cullen." I smiled from the rim of my glass.

"I like it. It fits your perfectly."

He tilted his head to his side before taking a swig of his beer again.

"I like this song. There's something about it that makes me feel good. Something I can't place and every time I hear it. I always want more. Sort of how I see you…" He said before placing his beer on the coffee table and stood up. Walking carefully towards me.

He reached out and took my glass from me and placed it next to his beer. He approached me again and placed his hands around my waist.

"May I have this dance?" He said quietly. I just nodded my head.

I guess it's every girl's fantasy to dance with the boy of their dreams next to a lit fire place with dimmed lights.

I didn't realize in this very second that he was making one of my wishes come true. To feel whole again inside and out. I hadn't felt that way since right before I lost my mother. So I gripped hold of his shoulders, and chanted in my head for him to never let go.

"I'll be here as long as you want me." As if he had answered my silent chanting.

I smiled. "Don't break my heart Edward Cullen."

He nodded his head. "I don't have the strength to be away from you Isabella, Swan."

He brought his lips to mine and we kissed. Not like we had last night when we had been strangers. Not earlier full of lust from being apart the whole day. But as lovers, friends, and I could feel the bond changing. If I let my self fall I knew I could end up hurt and in this moment I didn't care. We stayed like that for a while.

We had gone at it again that night. In the throws of passion I couldn't believe how he made me feel. I felt amazing. Alive and when dawn finally came. I was sore and completely happy.

I rolled over to find Edward still naked like me but snuggled up in the blankets. He looked like an angel. His hair a mess as per usual, he arms clutching his pillow and his strong arms flexed in his sleep. Showing me the muscles I new was always there. His back rippled with muscles as he breathed in and out lying on his stomach.

I kissed his cheek and his eyes opened sleepily.

"Good morning." I whispered as I kissed his lips that were screaming for me to kiss them.

"Good morning, beautiful." He smiled lazily. He wrapped his arms around me and held me to his body.

"Can we just stay here forever?" I whispered into his neck.

"I think that is definitely an option." His arms gripped me tighter still.

"Forever is a long time. Could you handle it?" I realized how my words could be construed and I was unsure how I would feel about his answer.

He was silent for a moment and then he whispered into my ear.

"If I had it my way you would be mine forever."

"Well your odds are looking pretty good." I whispered.

"Well then. I guess I better start working my magic right?"

"What did you have in mind Edward?"

He looked thought full for a moment. Until he reached down under the blankets and grasped my sides and began tickling me.

"Oh god. Edward stop. It tickles!"

That's the point love." He chuckled while I gasped for air as he continued to assault my sides and hips.

"Now say your mine."

"I am yours Edward." He continued to tickle me.

"Say you will be with me forever."

"Forever. I promise."

"Really?" He stopped tickling me as I tried to right my self.

"Yes if that's what you want. Forever."

His smile was breath taking.

"Yes that is what I want." He nodded his head for extra agreement.

I smiled too, and kissed his lips.

We spent the morning in a haze of sex filled naughtiness.

"So how would you like to meet me for lunch some time around noon tomorrow? " I had asked him.

"I would love to…but I can't I have something I have to take care of all week. How about this weekend. I'll treat you out to dinner?" He smiled.

I smiled back.

"I'd love that".

He left a few hours later. Claiming that he needed to get his car from his brother's place because they had car pulled the night before.

I pouted as he made his way to the door in the clothes he wore last night.

"A week feels so long doesn't it?" He smiled weakly down at me.

I nodded answering him.

"I promise baby I will be here next Friday at 6 o'clock."

I nodded again.

"Kay." He kissed my lips one more time before he left.

"Lets not say goodbye, but instead I will see you Friday." He said.

"See you Friday."

" Isabella?"

He turned around with the door open.

"Yes?"

"Be safe."

I smiled and closed the door behind him. I leaned against it and dropped to sit on my butt. I sighed in contentment and longing from the feeling was already creeping up on me. That whole was back and I wasn't sure how I felt about that either.

I walked over to my purse and turned on my phone. There were over ten voice mails in my box and only one text message from Alice.

We need to talk a.s.a.p. –A

Talk later. –B
