'You've reached our voicemail. Leave your info and we will call you back.'Beep!

"Bella Swan," Katy's light voice radiated through the phone speaker. "I know that you are avoiding my phone calls because you are guilty. We know that…"

I rushed over to the phone and grabbed it before Edward had the chance to exit the bathroom. The last thing I needed was for him to hear the rest of Katy's sentence. I had the worse anxiety this week. All week I had been occupying my time by pleasing Edward. But that was only because I had been feeling extremely guilty. With Edwards mysterious best friend visiting tomorrow, my nerves had gotten the best of me.

I held the phone nervously to my ear. My hand would not stop it's intense shaking as I spoke, "Yes Katy, what is it?"

"Meet me at Bally's in 20 minutes."

"I can't."

"Get your ass there Bella Swan. Angela is back in town as well. You would have known that if you were not avoiding us."

"I have not been avoiding anyone. I've been busy," I said, rolling my eyes as if she were here."

"Yea bells whatever, Bally's 20 minutes."

And with that she hung up.

"Shit," I said slamming my phone down. I turned to see Edward in the room now. He was standing in front of the mirror with a towel wrapped around his lower half. Droplets of water shimmered down his chiseled frame as he eyed me curiously, eyebrows furrow, and a smirk on his face.

"Heading out?" he asked

"I guess," I breathed out. "I don't have to if you want me to stay," I said.
I stood from where I had just been sitting and walked closer to him, wrapping my arms around his waist. I gripped tighter and inhaled lightly, enjoying his embrace. Edward turned in my arms and kissed my hair as my head pressed firmly against his chest.

"You should get some fresh air. We have been trapped in this room for days," he said with humor in his voice.

"I like being trapped in a room with you."

"Great experience isn't it?"

I gazed up at him and smiled, "Mind blowing."
He blushed and leaned in until his lips were brushing against my lips, "Am I really that good?"

"Why don't you ask the neighbors?" I smiled

Edward's lips crashed upon mine. I snaked my arms around his neck and let them rest there as he kissed me passionately. His smooth lips dominating mine as usual, sucking on my bottom lip playfully. My body was reacting to him as usual and I knew exactly where this kiss was heading. Edward's hands trailed down and rested at the back of my thighs, forcing my legs up. I wrapped my tiny legs around his waist as he turned and sat me on the dresser. His lips attacked my neck, biting and sucking as my hands pushed all of the beauty products onto the floor. His huge hands gripped my breasts roughly through my shirt.

"Eddie," I moaned. "Oh god that feels good."

"Yeah?" he breathed into my ear

"Yes…"

The phone rang again but we both ignored it. Edward popped the button on my jeans, attempting to get them off.

'You've reached our voicemail. Leave your info and we will call you back.'

"Edward hey it's me Vanessa. I tried your cell but it's been off. I really need to see you. It's retaining to work of course. I need you in the office as soon as possible. When you are not here it's frustrating. Anyways get in as soon as you can. I need a little guidance. After all what is an assistant with out her boss. Bye."

Edward stood there completely dumb founded as I glared at him folding my arms. I was pretty good at reading between the lines. Oh she needed him in the office alright, the office between her thighs. The word Dumb must have been tattooed across my forehead.

"Where is you cell phone?"

"In my jacket pocket why?"

"Let me see it. Let me listen to the message she left you on your cells voicemail. Let me read the text she probably sent."

"What are you implying?" He asked standing up straight

"That you are fucking your assistant senseless. Obviously she is sexually frustrated. Care to go help her out?" I asked pushing him away so I could stand

Edward sighed loudly and made his way towards the closet," Way to kill the mood Bella."

"Why don't you tell that Vanessa? Oh but don't worry what you can't get here I am pretty sure she can provide in the office," I hissed.

"I'm not screwing Vanessa. I can't help it that she's attractive."

"So you think that she is attractive?"

"I can't help it Bells. I'm a guy."

"Being a guy does not justify a damn thing. If I was a guy that would make my actions and attractions alright?" I asked angrily

Edward shrugged.

"Really Edward? Is this what our marriage will consist of?" I asked "You and other women."

"Bella I am not seeing other woman."

"Yea.. Sure. You must think I'm an idiot. You must think that because I have not walked out on you yet that I am blind. The private trips, working late, and
oh let's not forget talking on your cell phone in your car at late night hours."

"Bella I just proposed to you."

"Yea maybe because you are afraid that I'll get away. That someone will treat me like the queen that I am and then I will walk out on your sorry ass."

Edward gave me that look that told me that I should quit while I am ahead but of course I was having a Bella melt down and a bitch fit. I slammed everything around as I searched for my track shoes. Out of all the things to miss place why did it have to be shoes? I could not leave the house without my shoes.

I scurried back into the room to see Edward fully clothed. He wore casual jeans, a tee shirt and sneakers. I wanted to ask him where he was headed but my thoughts were all over the place.

"Bells we'll talk when I get back. I really don't want to be on the outs when Jay gets here tomorrow."

"So I should just pretend that this is a happy home because your friend is staying with us. Should I wear an apron and a smile as well?"

"Bella what can I do to make this right?"

"Be the person you used to be. Show me the guy that I fell in love with, the guy I turned my back on my family to be with because right now all that you are showing me is the man that Charlie warned me about," I said. "Oh and fire Vanessa."

"Done."

"Yea sure fine," I said waving him off. I found my sneakers in the back of my messy closet and slipped them on quickly. Sitting on the bed I took a deep breath and sighed. Finally I pulled myself together and managed the strength to get up and grab my keys. The tears filled my eyes as I grabbed my Chloe shades and covered my eyes. Just like that my morning had gone to shit.

I arrived at Bally's twenty minutes later. Entering, I notice Katy on the treadmill. She was jogging at her usual speed which was too damn fast. I could hear Usher- O my god radiating from her ear buds as I approached. She slowed her pace and smiled lightly, sweat glistening on her body as she hopped off that treadmill and made her way over to me.

"Well look who came out to play," she said.

I rolled my eyes and walked pass her. I stopped at the corner and began stretching. She smirked and followed me. Katy laid down flat on her back and sighed before screaming, "Does any of you guys want to help me stretch? It's really hard trying to crack your pelvic bone alone."

I smiled lightly. Some things never changed. Amongst those things were Katy. My cute, bubbly, blonde haired, and totally flirty goddess. We met on my first night here in Texas. I spilled my coffee on her by accident. After we nearly ripped each other's head off she complimented me on my Marc Jacobs bag and instantly we were a match made in heaven. Katy made my life a little bit sweeter with her outbursts and sense of humor. There were hardly any dull moments with her, Katy the commander of attention. I would say ladies beware but she had attracted quite a few girls as well as guys. I guess she's a real babe magnet. Oh lets not forget the guys.

Katy shift her head so that her gaze was in my direction. A tall, buff, guy with spiky hair and a million tattoos to say the least had been the lucky guy to help her stretch. The guy had positioned himself between her thighs with her right leg on his shoulder, thrusting forward.

"Katy," I said. "Did you really need him helping you with that?"

She smirked, "Oh god yes right there. Harder," she moaned. "What's your name again?"

"Andrew," he said.

"Andrew you are really good at this," she laughed. "Bells so um I have a ton of questions for you. I hope you didn't think we would forget did you?"

I placed my hands over my eyes. I really hoped that they would have forgotten. But of course I knew my friends well. They would never miss the opportunity to prove that miss goody two shoes, Bella, was not so good after all.

"You can cover those beautiful eyes all you want Bells but as soon as Andrew and I are done dry fucking you and I are having a chat. Plus Angela if she ever gets here."

I watched as Andrew and Katy finished up. He slipped Katy his number before walking off with a little pep in his step that made me chuckle.

"You are not going to call him are you?" I asked

"Maybe," she smiled. "Maybe not."

My attention drifted towards the door as Angela stormed in, her long hair flowing behind her. She made her way over towards us quickly, slamming her bag to the ground. I realized she had her Bluetooth in her ear, screaming at someone as usual.

"No! I need a flight from Miami to Barcelona. Bar…ce….lona," she yelled. "It's for Alex Hawthorne."

Pause….

"No you idiot. Hawthorne….I need to get his sexy ass to Barcelona in 24 hours. A red eye would work wonders alright."

Pause….

"Si senora."

Katy nudged me and whispered, "How long do you think it will take her to realize that she have no shoes on?"

I looked down and could not reframe from laughing. Oh course Angela did not have any shoes on. Her life was so hectic that she always had to multi-task. I was surprised that she had not realized that she had no shoes on.

"Si," Angela said, now in a polite manner. "Hi girls," she smiled. Her bitch fest had reared a close. "I have had one problem after another this morning. What a fucked up bay. I need to get laid."

"Why are you not wearing any shoes?" Katy asked

"Well I was planning to put them on and then some idiot rammed my baby from behind. The next thing I knew my hand were on the sneakers and out the window they went, right into that idiot's windshield. I drive a 50,000 car. He's lucky that I did not murder his ass. Now I have to cram a visit to an auto repair shop into my busy schedule."

"Oh my god."

"Yea Bells, Oh my god is right. So I will be working out in socks," she smiled. "Speaking of working out, did you get a good sexual workout in Cabo
with Mr. Tall, dark, and handsome?"

Katy quirked an eyebrow as I shook my head, "Nothing happened."

"Sure nothing happened. So where did this nothing occur? The bed, a balcony, ooh on the beach?"

"No where," I yelled. "I didn't…nothing happened."

I crossed my arms tightly and pouted. Angela jumped on the treadmill next to me, "Okay so this guy, what happened after you ditched us?"

"I didn't ditch you."

"You did," Katy said. "You ditched us to go hump a random guy."

"I didn't hump him," I said breathless as I picked up speed. "We didn't do anything."

"Oh stop Bells before your nose touches that wall over there, Pinocchio. You sexed the guy up and we are not mad at you, not after what Edward has been doing so could you cut the crap and spill."

I sighed. I was not going to get out of this. I had to confess my infidelity to the three stooges minus one, Jessica whom I was sure would receive a text shortly.

"I…. alright fine. We may have did something," I said sheepishly.

"You did more than something," Katy smiled. "How many times did you come?"

"So was he big?" Angela asked "How big was he? I mean because from his form he looked to be pretty huge."

"You guys," I said, completely embarrassed now. "Don't make me do this."

"Bella come on. On a scale of one to ten, ten being the biggest and one being the smallest, how big was he?"

"A 20," I said through my teeth.

"Holy shit," Katy squealed. "Could we share him Bells. After all you are with Edward."

I rolled my eyes, "You can have him. It was just a one night stand. Nothing more and nothing less."

Angela laughed, "She's lying. She likes this guy."

I blushed, "I do not like him. Jay and I are nothing. I am here and he is wherever his home lies."

"So the mystery guy name is Jay. I'm going to use my resources to track him just in case you need some loving from time to time," Angela joked.

"No," I shouted, grabbing her blackberry from her hand. Angela caught my wrist and turned my hand towards her, "No fucking way."

"What?" Katy asked as she moved towards us

"You little slut."

I snatched my hand away from her and held my arms behind my back.

"She's engaged," Angela said to Katy.

"Are you kidding me?" Katy asked "You going to marry Edward? If anything I thought you would break his little blue scrawny balls by now after the emails you read in Cabo."

"What emails?" Angela asked

"Bella hacked into Edwards email account and found emails from random women saying how much they have been enjoying Edwards company. They are probably women over 60 with no taste. No offense Bella."

"No…that horrible," Angela shouted.

"Yes," Katy shouted back at her.

"Stop it now. I'm with Edward so you need to just deal with it. We talked about it. It was nothing. Edward really loves me and he promised to changed."

Well that was partially correct.

"Men don't change unless you are talking about a wardrobe change. They are exactly what they were raised to believe and are accustomed to. But hey it's fine by me. Just don't get upset when I skip out on the wedding," Katy said.

"That's a really mature thing to say," I retorted. "Anyone can change and I truly believe that Edward will change for me."

"Bella have you put much thought into tying the knot with Edward and what it would mean? I am not trying to tell you that being with him is wrong, I mean the choice is yours only to make but I am just saying marriage is supposed to be about love, trust, commitment, and happiness. When was the last time you trusted him? When was the last time you felt that he was committed to you and only you? I want you to follow your heart. But sometimes the heart tells us
to make ignorant decisions."

"Angela I know what I want. What I want is Edward."

"Alright then," she said. "Ladies cut the crap and get your asses on those treadmills."

I rolled my eyes and got back on.

"What do you mean?" I yelled "What do you mean something came up? What something Edward?"

"Bella I'm sorry. I really am. I have to go to L.A tonight. I promise I'll be back in two days."

"Your best friend is not staying here with me while you are away. How the hell could you plan to leave Edward? I am not going to entertain your guests."

I watched as he zippered his suitcase and stood up straight. His cold hazel eyes fixed on mine as he started over towards me.

"Bells honey please. It's just business. You and Jay will get along perfectly I promise."

I held my head down low, "I can't believe you are really going to go."

"It's only for two days," he said kissing my forehead.

"You are never home Edward. Every time I turn around you are living me with no excuse except for 'it's just business'."

"I'm sorry."

"You always are. When are you going to be something other than sorry?"

"When I find the time," he said coldly.

I watched as Edward put on his coat. My nerves were getting the best of me. Maybe today was my lucky day. If this was Jay, my Jay, from Cabo, hopefully I could convince him to keep what happened between us a secret or convince him to go back to wherever the hell he came from and not destroy my happy ending.

I followed Edward down the stairs towards the door. A part of me was relieved that he was going. I needed to clear my head but I also knew that I could not trust my self around this guy. If this was in fact my guy from Cabo. Wait what the hell Bells you love Edward. What do you mean you don't trust yourself around another guy? Oh geesh I need to stop before my own thoughts become my down fall.

"Eddie please don't go," I pleaded one last time as we reached the door. He wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me closer to him.
"It's only for two days Bells. I promise in two days I am coming home to you."

I sighed, "Okay."

"Smile for me please and be a good girl while I'm away."

"Always. Is Vanessa going?" I asked sternly

"Nope she is not needed on this business venture or any other one for that matter."

"Good," I said as I wrapped my arms around his neck and leaned in to kiss his cool, firm lips.

Edward pulled away slightly as a knock rattled on the door. A small smile spread across his face as he placed his hand on the knob. My nerves were getting the best of me. My breath was hitched in my throat and my feet felt like they were welded to the floor. Edward opened the door.

Fuck!

"Jay," He shouted. I watched as the exchanged a small hug as if they had not seen each other in years. I wished that someone would pry my eyes from their sockets. I watched helplessly as Jay turned to face me. I saw the shock in his eyes. He stared at me intently, eyes trailing over my frame before meeting my eyes again. He was still as gorgeous as when I pounced on him in Cabo. His hair pulled back into a neat ponytail, a tight fitting white tee-shirt and leather jacket, his jeans….oh god those Jeans and then….

"Bells," Edward said. "Don't be rude."

"Huh?"

"What's wrong?" Edward asked "You seem startled."

"Oh um no…I just don't want you to leave."

"Your leaving?" Jay asked, turning his attention towards Edward

"It's only for two days. This should give you and my soon to be bride time to get acquainted."

"Eddie that's not necessary. Maybe I could go to L.A with you and Jay could stay here?"

Edward shook his head, "No. You stay here. Jay is going to take you tomorrow to look at different places for the wedding. It's just two days."

There was a faint horn coming from outside. As much as I wanted to just throw myself at Edward and beg for him to stay I knew that I could not do that. I had to let him go and deal with this trouble that I caused for myself. But one thing was certain, there was no way in hell that I would be stuck here alone with him.

I gave Edward an awkward kiss before pulling away. Jay walked him out to the car. Great I could make an escape. My feet hammered against the marble steps as I rushed up to my room. I grabbed my overnight bag and began to throw clothes in it. I grabbed my cell phone and texted Katy 911. That was my code for help. I began to pace back and forth frantically in front of the balcony of my bedroom. I was wondering if I could climb out of my window instead of using the front door. I could not stomach the thought of using the stair. I was trapped. I knew I would have to explain. But wait why did I have to explain? I made it clear in Cabo that I had a boyfriend. Not that I expect him to be Edwards long lost best friend.

Standing in front of the mirror I straightened my purple sheer blouse. I was suddenly wishing I had chose to wear sweats but no Edward insisted that I dress nice. So I wore a purple blouse, black skinny jeans, and strappy heels. This is great. I can't risk changing because he could prance his home wrecking ass up the stairs and barge in. Ugh!

Okay Bella put on your big girl pants and deal with this.

I grabbed my car keys, overnight bag, and cell phone. Making my way downstairs I noticed the plasma television was on in the living room. I could see feet propped on top of the glass coffee table. The table that had shipped from over seas and cost more than anything I own. I stormed into the living room. It really was not a good idea to pick a fight. But I was content with pretending as if nothing was wrong. Nothing was wrong. Edward and I is getting married. Jay is like the wedding planner. He will be out of this house in a few weeks. I have to make it through a few weeks and that is it.

"Can you remove your feet from that coffee table?" I asked annoyed

He turned his head slightly. His deep eyes looking into mine, as his long hair spilled over his shoulders before he laughed. I mean really laughed. Not a soft chuckle or a small laugh but a full blown laugh.

"What the hell is so funny?" I asked folding my arms tightly over my chest

"You," he replied as he turned his attention back to the game on the plasma TV.

"Get your damn feet off of my coffee table Jacob."

"So you remember me?" he asked

"Feet off now," I yelled.

"What else do you remember?" He asked removing his feet and standing up "Does Edward know what happened?"

"Nothing happened."

"I would not call what happened nothing. I don't recall you calling it nothing when you were screaming my name," he said. "What was it now? Ohhh Jacob…right there harder."

Jay walked closer to me, circling me like I was his prey. Well little did he know I was not.

"So does Edward know?" He asked again before stopping in front of me
His fingertips brushing my right arm slightly making me flinch. A cocky smile spread across his lips as he removed his hand.

"He doesn't and you are not going to tell him," I stated.

He smirked, "Oh I am so telling him. His wife, his dream girl goes to Cabo and bangs random guys and…."

"And what?" I yelled "Fucks his best friend senseless. That would crush him. Both of our relationships with him would be over you dick."

"Hey…bros before hoes is our motto," He laughed.

I was fuming. Did he really just say that? Before I knew it my hand had slapped his beautiful face not once, not twice, but three times. I was working towards a forth one before Jay caught my wrist and spoke through clenched teeth, "You really do have a problem with keeping your hands to yourself."

"And you have a problem with the terminology that escapes that mouth of yours. I am not a hoe. I've never cheated on Edward until you came along and seduced me."

"I did not seduce you. I told you what I wanted and you gave it to me. It was that simple."

I tried to snatch my wrist from his grip but he only pulled me closer. I sighed trying not to meet his gaze, "Let go."

"Make me," he smirked.

"Listen you will not tell Edward."

"I don't meet demands."

"Well you will meet this one."

He let go of my wrist and returned to the couch. Of course he wasted no time putting his feet back onto the table. I reached over to slap them off only to have Jay grab my waist firmly and pull me down onto the couch. My legs rested on his lap as he smirked and snatched my over night bag and tossed it to the floor. I tried to get up only to have him push me back onto the chair.

"I have to be somewhere," I said lightly.

"Yea right. We have a big day ahead of us tomorrow so relax."

"I don't think relaxing will help as long as you are here. You are not telling him."

"The questions is when….when will I tell him. Will I tell him when he gets back or will I wait until you are in a beautiful white gown, waiting to say I do?"

I shook my head, "You will not tell him."

"Is that so?"

"Yes…you have no reason to destroy our relationship."

"I do."

"What's the reason?"

"Maybe I want you."

"Well I don't want you, not now or ever."

That was a lie. Partially.

"I think a little wager is in a month if you have not fallen completely in love with me I will leave you alone and support your little wedding. But if in a month you are in love with me we are going to sit Edward down and tell him that truth….and then you be mine."

I laughed, "Why would do something completely stupid as that?"

"Because I have spent every second thinking of you since that night in my hotel."

"And…."

"And so have you. So do you have a deal?"

"I am not betting the option of you getting in my pants again," I said folding my arms and turning my nose up at him.

"That's not what I was hoping for. This bet is not about that. It's about you heart. I want your heart, I want you."

"He's your best friend."

"I know but I also know that he does not deserve you."

"And you deserve me?"

"You deserve me."

I blew out an angry breath and closed my eyes tightly. I just needed to wake up from this dream and have Edward back in my arms and Jay far away as possible. I could not believe I had just made a bet such as that.

I opened my eyes to my face flat on the leather couch, hair ruff atop my head and a white comforter wrapped around me. I turned slightly to have the sun glaring down on my face through the huge glass window. I noticed Katy sitting in the corner with her eyes fixed on her cell phone. I sighed and sat up slightly. She was clothed in a tiny hot pink bikini and wedge heels. Her hair was as straight as pins and needles today. She shifted in her chair and turned slightly.

"What are you doing here?" I asked her confused

She quirked an eyebrow, "I practically live here. That and the fact that I recieved an the 911 text last night and you never made it to my doorstep. But what I would like to know is why is that hunk of man here when Edward is away. He looks vaguely familiar."

I rolled my eyes, "He's Edwards best friend who is helping plan my wedding. But he is also the guy from Cabo."

She smiled, "You mean the 20 which is twice as much on the man scale."

"Precisely."

"Today must be my lucky day. Do you mind?" she asked

"Of course not," I snapped. "Why would I mind?"

"I don't know. I just know if I had a 20 in me I would not want to share with anyone."

"Well I don't mind alright. Knock yourself out," I said getting up from the couch.

I made my way over to the steps and headed up to my room. I did not mean to be rude to Katy but yesterday was a wreck. As I reached the top step I ran smack into a hard, firm, wet chest. A wet naked body wrapped in only a towel was pressed against me. The though of taking a step back crossed my mind but if I did I knew I would tumble down the steps. I gazed up into his eyes, pleading with him to stop and not to test my self control. But instead he did something before I could get a word out. His lips crashed on mine as he grabbed my wrists and pulled me back into my bedroom. Okay my self control was slowly fading as he closed the door behind us. I pulled away slightly.

"You have to stop," I said.

"Do I now?" he asked pushing me up against the bedroom door. His hands massaged my breasts through my shirt as his hips pressed firmly against my neck, caressing my skin and sucking softly. "Why do I have to stop?"

"Because this is not right," I breathed out. "I…can't Jay please."

His fingers started at the buttons of my blouse. I slapped them away and bit my lip hard. I could feel the heat inside my pants as his stare grew more intense.

"Fine," he said.

I stepped away from the door and allowed him to exit. I should have been relieved but instead I was mentally kicking myself. Why? Because I am a complete moron. I was letting him get to me. Not completely but suddenly I had begun to wish this day away. I knew this day was going to be far worse than yesterday.

After a quick shower and wardrobe change I felt better. Almost anyway. I put on jeans, a tee shirt, and black pumps. I ran my hands through my hair and sighed. I was dreading going back downstairs. I knew there was a possibility that Katy had straddled him in my living room. The though of that made me upset. Why was I upset about that? Katy was his type. I had no claim on him. They could do whatever they want. Even though I had told myself that only a million times in my mind I knew it did not matter. I was growing Jealous.

Ha jealous as if. There was no way. I reached the bottom step to hear Katy's voice chiming in the kitchen followed by a deep chuckle and another laugh from Katy. I sighed and entered the kitchen. To my surprise Katy had on a dress now and boots. She was stirring something in the pot. Jay was behind her almost breathing down her neck. One of his hands were on her lower back and the other was on her other hand helping her stir the contents in the pot. Jay and Katy's attention flashed to me.

"Bells," Katy yelled. "I'm cooking. Jay here is an amazing cook."

I quirked an eyebrow, "How would you know?"

"Because he said he was," she said, returning her gaze back to the pot.

"You believe anything a guy tells you," I mumbled under my breath.

"What was that?" she asked

"Nothing," I lied. "If you guys want to stay here that's fine. I have to go somewhere."

"Bella we have to go look at a few places," Jay said.

"Take Katy," I snapped. "You seem to have warmed up to her."

"She's not the one getting married. I'm sorry Bella is something wrong?" he asked although he seemed amused by my miniature tantrum

"Nothing. Just hurry up."

"What the hell is wrong with you Bells?" Katy said

"PMS," I mumbled. "I think it will last for a few weeks.
