I don't own anything. Stephenie Meyer is much more talented.

Ok, so here is my attempt at this. Let me know what you all think…please. I wanted to leave you all hanging for a purpose, I didn't want to offend anybody. So If you want more, I can do more, I just wasn't sure.

Chapter 5- Damn Hormones

Edwards POV

I was extremely nervous for our first date. I've been on many first dates before, but none of them seemed to be as significant as this one. Dinner at PF Changs on the Plaza and then a carriage ride through the plaza streets by moonlight. I've never considered myself a romantic person, but Bella made it come out of me obviously. Tonight I would ask her to be my girlfriend. She was so much more than that, but that's all I could ask for right now. Bella seemed to be the center of my universe, if my parents were here they would tell me to get my head out of my ass. My phone began to ring, speaking of parents,

"Mom?" I asked into the phone. I heard the giddy squeal on the other phone, mom had been so excited I had transferred to an NCAA college. The place where your dreams come true she had wistfully told me. I knew that look, every time she thought about or talked to my father she got that look in her eyes. They had met, and married within a year during their freshmen year at college.

"Edward Masen…you haven't called, emailed or written me anything."

"I've been busy" I told her. She snickered, as if she already knew what I had been doing in my spare time. Every minute that I was awake I wanted to spend it with Bella, course we a few classes together, and of course cheer but other than that, I wanted all my space filled with Bella.

"With what, what could you possibly be doing that is more important that calling your mother?" she retaliated. I heard my father clearing his throat in the background, and something obviously dawned on my mother.

"Ohh…what's her name?" She questioned. I smiled, of course my mother would be disappointed, someone finally managed to claim her first born son. Her only son when I think about it like that.

"Bella." I answered, so much more I wanted to tell her. But I knew that would take all my minutes.

"When will we meet her?" She probed. I shrugged like she was in the same room. When was I going to go home, or when could we possibly figure a time out when they could visit?

"Well…what are you guys doing for thanksgiving?" I asked her, I heard her asked my father. She voiced her approval, and came back to me.

"Do you want us to visit Edward, I know you'll probably have a game that week." Just like my mother, always working around everybody else's schedule. We did have a game though.

"Yes, Bella will have plenty of room at her place, and I'll let her know." I told her. I hoped Bella wouldn't mind.

"She has her own place?" My mother was getting overprotective now. I could hear it in her voice.

"Yes mom, she just bought her own house. Some things were hard for her to deal with at home, and she decided it was time to go." I answered, Bella would like that answer. I heard the acknowledgment and then the phone being passed to my father. Great, ten bucks I know where this conversation was going to go.

"Son, I'm glad you're happy. I just want to make sure you are doing ok?" He asked. I knew what he was asking. Was I being safe with Bella, they wanted grandkids, just not yet. Neither Bella or I were ready for that adventure.

"Yes dad, things are good. I remember sex education." I replied, he laughed into the phone.

"Ok. Just making sure. We'll see you on thanksgiving. Tell Bella we said hello." He concluded. I gave them my sentiments and hung up. Tonight was definitely going to be a memory that I never wanted to forget.

Dinner was great, the horse drawn carriage ride even better with Bella curled up into my side. Her head resting on my shoulder, and every now and then her lips would graze my ear sending chills down my spine.

"Bella. I have a question for you." I asked, lifting her chin to look in her beautiful brown eyes. She waited. I relaxed, she wasn't pushing me for a explanation. That what made things so easy with her, she was so relaxed, and easy going.

"Be my girlfriend?" I blurted out, I had expected it to be much more romantic than that. But she smiled none the less. She nodded, her lips meeting mine. I have to say, I did expect more of a response than that.

"I thought you'd never ask." She whispered when she pulled away. The carriage was coming to a stop and we climbed out.

"Let's go home." I told her, this time next week it would be like going home to our home. Even though I wasn't officially living with her…yet. She told me on the way to the restaurant that she was going to ask Alice to live with her, I thought that that was a great idea. She would need company when I wasn't there. I was wondering if she was expecting anything to happen when we did get home. I still wanted our emotional relationship to become stronger, but her magnificent body was getting more and more tempting by the minute.

"Edward stay with me." She pleaded when we pulled into her garage. I was beginning to love driving her new car. My car was sitting idle at home, unable to make this trip with me. I was going to have to figure that out, because if things stayed this great with Bella, I was never going to leave. I took her hand, showing my intentions of staying, and led her upstairs, I was nervous. She left me for a few moments to change, and wash her face and then joined me in bed. We had been sleeping in the same bed for almost a week now, and I was almost apprehensive about it tonight. Perhaps I should've have gone to my dorm. Her hands were ice cold as she placed them on my chest. Kissing my neck she sighed.

"This is by far the best last first week I've ever had." I smiled with her, I had to agree. I played with a strand of her hair as she laid her head on my chest, and explored my bare skin. She felt amazing. After a while I had to speak up before I lost myself completely.

"Bella…I" I started to say, but something stopped me from finishing my sentence. She was almost snoring. Her breathing had slowed, and she was sleeping. She fell asleep. I couldn't wait for her to start talking. I always loved it when she talked in her sleep, made me wonder if she even knew she did it. Well at least I didn't have to worry about things getting out of hand. At least not tonight. Her birthday party was only days away. I knew she was going to be drinking, and I was praying that I would be ready for whatever happened.

If anything this would definitely be a night to remember. Bella had begun drinking around 5pm, not something I would have usually condoned but she was enjoying herself. All the stress in the past week made me sure enough that she was the one I wanted. I don't know if permanently, but I wanted it to work into that. She seemed to handle the stress well, but by the looks of her right now, she was letting it all go and drowning her sorrows. Her house would be hers this time next week, I guess a perk of having lots of money is deals get done quicker. And we would began our relationship together.

"Edward, come dance with me." She commanded, I took her hand that she held out to me and followed her to the dance floor. This bar was actually ok, kind of shabby but it was packed. The locals I guessed. Everybody sported a cowboy hat, and some boots. I even saw a few men wearing the classic plaid shirt. The song that was playing was perfect for our first dance together. Although we were currently partying in a country bar, Colbie Caillats "Realize" was softly playing over the speakers. I held her in my arms, kissing her lips every now and then, and studied her sweet eyes. Those big chocolate brown eyes I always seemed to drown and lose myself in. I was getting lost thinking about her, she was everything I could imagine. She came along and blew my perception of girls out of the water, Her sweet, and caring personality. Oh, how I wanted to be with this woman, and she was so willing to let me. What did I do deserve her? The chorus picked up and she sighed into me.

"Edward…I think I'm falling in love with you." She whispered, so softly I had to strain to hear it. I don't know if I was supposed to hear it or not. The alcohol was definitely making itself known. But it did startle me some, I wasn't sure how deep my feelings were yet, I knew it was something great, but love? It was to soon. The words were suddenly so right for us.

"If you'd just realize what I just realized…

Then we'd be perfect for each other and never find another.

"If you'd just realize what I just realized…

We'd never have to wonder if we missed out on each other….

"Bella…love." I began. She tilted her head up to me, and pressed her lips to mine. I wanted to whisk her away right now, but I knew Alice would kill me if I kidnapped her. Her eyes were piercing into mine, what was going through that intoxicated mind of hers I wondered. She smiled, and crashed her lips to mine again. This wasn't like any other kissed we had ever shared, this was one of wanting. She wanted me and I definitely wanted her. She made a move to leave the dance floor, but wanted more of this with her. I wasn't ready to kill this moment and return to our drunk friends. The next song came on, the tempo was much faster and she picked up her pace. Her arms still latched around my neck, her hips ground themselves into me. I groaned, she was going to do this to me. I had suffered through watching her move all night. Her body swaying to the music, it had been hard not to jump her in the middle of the dance floor. I finally had had enough and pulled her from the dance floor, only pausing at the table to tell Alice and Jasper that we were leaving. The limo was waiting for us when we left the building, thank god for a sober driver. This was Alice's plan all along. I followed Bella's body slowly out the door. I took survey of what she was wearing, I hadn't really been looking at her body all night, just her face. I loved watching her expressions play out on her face. She stumbled slightly as she went for the door, the barely there denim mini skirt riding up as she climbed in the door. She pulled me inside quickly, and made sure the door was shut securely behind me, and locked. No interruptions tonight. She sat watching me for a moment before crawling into my lap, her legs curled up onto either side of mine, and pressed her lips to mine. Even with the sweet scent of alcohol on her breathe she still made me weak with desire. I paused for a split second debating with myself if this was ok with her being drunk and all. Then she started to unbutton my shirt. My decision was made for me. This was more than ok. Her lips were fighting with mine as we wrestled into a more comfortable position.

"Bella. Are you sure you want this here?" I breathed out. My voice sounded very strange when it came out all husky and low. She shuddered underneath me.

"Hotel, lets go to a hotel." She panted out. Like I knew where anything was around her. She noticed my look of frustration.

"Marriot by the exit in Blue Springs." I told the driver our new destination, almost growling at the look he gave Bella. We were there in less than 5 minutes, I was thanking the gods for the short ride. I got us checked in and lead her to the suite on the top floor. As soon as the door closed behind us she was all over me again. I backed her against the wall, lifting her slightly, she took my clue and raised herself. Her beautiful legs wrapped themselves around my waist. I never in my life felt so complete. I slid the skirt up her legs, and groaned as she grinded her hips into mine. There was no question now about whether this was ok, because there was no turning back now.

"Edward please stop teasing me." Her breath was coming In wild gasps as I carried her over to he bed. Stopping to set her on her feet and unzip her skirt. She lifted her own shirt over her head and backed away from me. I was finally getting to see that gorgeous body of hers.

"You have to many clothes on." She said. Her words were somehow formed properly as she reached for the hem of my shirt. I helped her remove it, and my jeans. She stepped back. I hoped she was enjoying the view. One of her perfect eyebrows raised as she took me in, all of me. I swallowed hard, and knew this was going to be a wild night. She beckoned me with her finger and I closed the space between us quickly. Removing the last of our clothing, I laid her down beneath me as we made for the bed. She was panting again, her hands everywhere at once. Her lips found mine in the darkness and I obliged. Her tongue danced with mine, it was the sweetest kiss I had ever had in the throws of passion. She raised her legs wrapping them around my waist, begging me for more. As I took control of myself, I brushed her hair out of her face, and gently kissed her. She'd told me it had been a while since she had last had sex so I was going to do this slow. She had other ideas, I guess it was the alcohol and hormones…damn hormones.

"To slow Edward." She demanded, her back arching and I was in heaven all at once.
