I am SO SORRY. i WAS IN A HURRY, I COMPLTELY FORGOT TO EDIT.

Chapter 16- Wont Go Away

It was March already, everything finally starting to turn a beautiful shade of green. The early flowers were starting to poke out of their hiding places. Edward had taken it upon himself to plan an outing with all the guys. Carlisle, Charlie, Emmet and Jasper all took off three hours ago for a weekend of gambling in Vegas. He had been so excited when everybody had agreed to go that I couldn't bear to tell him that I would feel lost without him. Alice and I had packed our things and moved back into my old house for the weekend. 48 hours of nonstop girl talk, I was so excited.

"So, where do you want to look first?" Alice asked me, she had effectively brought me out of my thoughts of Edward. Since the guys were gone, and we had everybody here Alice used that as an excuse to get me to look at wedding dresses. I shrugged my answer at her, I knew she had this all planned in her head anyway. She probably had a list of places stored in her memory and would take me to the best place first.

"I looked at the internet, and I thought we could go these places. If you don't like any of these, then I have a plan b list in my purse."

I told you.

"What would I do without you Alice." I mocked her organization. She hit my arm, and laughed when I reached up to rub the spot in pain. She may be small, but she packs quite the punch.

"Ok, were off." she exclaimed pulling her car from the curb and out into traffic. Emmet and Rose were in town to look at houses, after our father proving to us that he was ready to be around, Emmet had softened up a bit. He had talked Rose into relocating out here to be with the family. Although she was driving, Alice was talking very animatedly in the front seat, making everybody grab for safety when she rounded a corner. I think I saw Rose check Lilly's seat every ten seconds in the mirror. Sue and Esme were following right behind us. I swung the door open quickly when we pulled into a parking spot at the first boutique.

"Enjoy this, you're only going to do it once Bella. Oh, I left my camera in the car." Esme told me softly as we headed inside. I hunched up a bit when I stepped into the shop, the white, and vintage lace made me shudder almost. Now I love shopping, and I love looking good but sometimes you have to draw a line at things. This was my line.

"I'm lost already." I mumbled as we were greeted by a saleslady. She ran over their history, as if I cared; and then directed me towards my size. I wish I could say that I wasn't enjoying this, but I was. A lot.

"Oh, Bella I cant wait to see you in these." Sue gushed, her and Rose switched Lilly between them and Rose came to help me. Together we pulled 12 gowns from the rack, and then headed for a dressing room. Alice stayed in the room with me, and got me settled into the first one. It was mermaid style dress with black beading down the back, and into the skirt. I didn't like it much though. I didn't like the first eleven I tried on at all. They made me look washed out, I made a mental note to myself to head to the tanning salon soon. The last one I slipped over my head fit like it was made for me. Being designer and all you could expect that. I glanced in the mirror, Alice was already fawning over the dress. Her eyes watering up, and she was fanning herself as I left the dressing room. The talking stopped as I stood in front of them. This dress was perfect. Strapless with vintage lace. It had an empire waist that accentuated my curves, and the lace split at the waist and flowed widely down my front. The top was covered with intricate crystals and beading. I glowed in it. Esme was crying already, Sue was getting there.

"This is the one." Rose whispered. I nodded, and accepted the hug from Esme. So this is the moment that you hear of brides having when they found "the" dress. Edward would love this dress. I think he would love seeing me anything, but this especially. Seeing me walk down the isle toward him in his tux. I was getting Goosebumps thinking about it. I didn't want to lose this moment, but I had to take it off and pay for it. I hadn't even looked at the price tag, and glad I hadn't when she told me the total. Handing her my credit card, I thought of Edward in his tux again. How it would contrast perfectly with his hair, and his beautiful eyes.

The bed shifted underneath me, making me shudder awake. Surely it wasn't morning. I opened my eyes, letting light through, nope still dark. The pillow next to me curled up in Edwards classic position, and I sighed curling my arm around him. Kissing his neck I spoke.

"What are you doing back? I know I didn't sleep through Saturday and most of Sunday." I teased. He smiled at my sarcasm, and gave me a peck on the lips. I felt him shrug in the dark.

"I missed you. We all came home in fact. it's a damn shame that men cant go on a excursion without missing our women." He teased me back. I pinched his side.

"You should miss me." I whispered, catching his lips as he turned to me. I was silently happy with myself for leaving the dress in Sues closet. He would have seen it for sure had I left it where it had been.

"What did you ladies do today?" he asked, his voice resounded me to my core. His rich velvet like voice make my skin crawl. This was one of the things I loved most about Edward. The way his voice could make my knees weak. Or the way his kisses made me smile for days. And the way I could talk to him for hours and know he wasn't bored.

"Have I told you lately how much I love you?" I blurted out suddenly. He chuckled, the bed shaking with his laughter.

"No, please remind me." he tease again. He was going to make me come undone. His hands were exploring the territory he already knew so well, making goose bumps spread over my skin. I gasped as he took my ear in his teeth, biting down gently. I couldn't form an intelligent sentence.

"I…I love the way you can make me stutter." I whispered, actually not stuttering. He moved so he was on top of me, his arms coming around my shoulders, pulling my body to his. His long body completely covering me. The blanket was caught up around him, making him very warm to the touch. He took my lips again, deepening the kiss quickly. My hands went to his hair, gripping the chaos. His tongue fought with mine, one of us trying to win control. I gave up quickly. I pulled away to breathe. He bent to kiss my neck, and started pulling my tank top from my shoulders. This house was full of people, my brother, my father his father, and his mother.

"How quiet can you be?' he asked suddenly. He laughed a little because usually I was not quiet at all, it was nice not having to worry about Alice being mad at me for being loud. I didn't have time to answer his inquest. He reached down and ripped my panties from my hips. I gasped again, and stuck my lips out in a pout.

"That was my favorite pair Edward!" I quietly exclaimed. He laughed again, his lips still exploring my body. I expected him to answer, but his lips found his favorite spot to tease. He took my breast into his mouth, his tongue flicking over the tiny nub quickly as I fought to keep my composure. It wasn't working. A strangled moan bubbled to my lips as he continued his work.

"Please continue Bella." He demanded roughly. His rich voice actually began to falter, good to know that I had just as much effect on him as he does me. I pressed my lips to his forehead, and pulled in a needed breathe.

"I love the way you make my body call to you." I whispered. I didn't know how much longer I would be able to answer this question. His hand came to my mouth, clamping over my lips. I began to protest, I didn't know what he was doing. He removed his hand, and kissed me hard.

"I didn't want you to do what you usually do." he told me. I was definitely confused now. But his hands gripped my sides, and he gave me a look of determination. I bit my lip so I wouldn't yell out when his hips found mine, and we molded together like perfect. Two pieces of a puzzle. It was hell trying not to moan and make Edwards name shatter off the walls in this room. He was taking his sweet time, finding a nice steady rhythm with his strong body between my legs.

"oh god, faster Edward." I groaned out quietly. His laugh sounded at my ear and then reminded me to keep quiet. The way his hands were roaming every inch, and curve of my skin I wasn't going to be able to keep it together much longer. I bit down on my lip hard when he gripped my calf and brought my leg around his body. He was hitting a spot so deep within me that I screamed out once. We both laughed, pausing for a few seconds to see if we had woke anybody up.

"I love the way you love me…." I whispered as he began his slow thrust again. His lips found mine with a sweet, passion filled kiss. I griped his hair again, and rolled us over, he didn't leave the warmth of my body. I steadied myself on top of him, and began to rock slowly, making him know what it feels like to be teased. His hands gripped my sides, he sat up to kiss me. His hand found my hair and he gripped it pulling me to him. I let out a gasp as he bit down on my shoulder. We paused again, both of us trying to catch our breath. We were sticky from sweating, but Edwards skin looked beautiful in the moonlight; glowing with the sheen.

"I love the way you love me too." He whispered into the dark. I found his lips again, I could practically feel how anxious he was for me to continue. His strong arms wrapped around me, pleading with me to go on. I brought my arms around his neck, using him as leverage as I began to rock on top of him again. Edward must have noticed me tiring, because he rolled us so he was on top of me again. He thrust into me hard, making the headboard hit the wall suddenly. We both laughed but kept going.

"Oh…" Edwards moan came suddenly, I had not been expecting it. His hand dropped to find the heat of the point of our bodies coming together. His fingers flicked over the sensitive area quickly, earning a quiet moan from me. My legs shook as I brought them around his body.

"Come on love. Let it go." he whispered in my ear. Something inside me snapped at his words and my body shook as I hit my orgasm head on. I tightened around Edward, making him come over the edge with me. Our breathing was the only sound in the silent room. His had laid his forehead on my chest, relaxing as he fought to reclaim some composure. He looked up at me, a shy smile covering his handsome face. His perfect lips forming that smile.

"Most of all. I love to love you." I told him, earning a kiss as he crawled the rest of the way up my body. His skin stuck to mine from sweating. He threw the covers over the end of the bed and stood up. He reached for my hand and walked us into the bathroom. It had to be the most relaxing bath I had had for a long time. Just laying on Edwards chest as he kissed me. We were just getting back into bed, still naked when Esme peeked her head into the bedroom. I instantly flushed red. Edward covered us quickly, pulling the quilt up to my bare shoulders.

"Are you two okay? Your dad and I thought we heard some strange noises and we got kind of freaked out." she asked, looking us over. At least we had cooled off, and look clean and dry. I was facing Edwards chest, his very bare chest. Acting like I was asleep.

"Yeah mom, we heard it too. I just got up to check as well." he lied. I couldn't help but let out a silent giggle. I felt him pinch my side. I had to bite my cheek to not laugh harder. I heard Esme's feet bringing her closer to the bed, Edward was sitting up so she knew he was half naked. I felt him tense up, and then heard Esme's laugh fill the room.

"I am so sorry. I should have knocked first. Bella please forgive my…nerve." she apologized. I laughed, she knew I was awake anyway.

"Its ok Esme. You didn't interrupt anything." I laughed. Edward was still tense. I knew he was uncomfortable with the situation.

"ok, back to bed." she seemed to tell herself. I listened as she neared the door, and stopped.

"Are you guys at least being safe?" she asked quietly. Edwards embarrassment bubbled over.

"MOM!!" he yelled. I laughed again, I found the whole situation funny.

"Ok, ok I'm sorry. See you two in the morning." she said, leaving the room and latching the door behind her. I instantly starting laughing, unable to hold it back any longer.

"I'm glad you think its funny." he whispered before catching my lips for another perfect kiss.

"I love you." He told me when he pulled away. I yawned, earning a laugh from him. I glanced at the clock, one in the morning. I was already starting to drift to sleep when he clicked off the light, and snuggled close to me. His arms wrapped around me, leaving no space between us.

Unfortunately since it was march, that meant that the unbearable month of basketball ensued. Which also meant that we would be on the road for at least half of the month, depending on how long the Jayhawks lasted in the tournament. At least I still got to travel with the squad, they let me suit up and cheer, I just couldn't stunt or tumble. I found myself almost bored with the tediousness of it. We were finally on our way home from yet another game, only to have to return at the end of this week. Edward looked as if he was ready to crack from the sleepless nights, and the constant pull of cheer.

"How did you handle all of this. School, grades…cheer?" he questioned. I shrugged at him, and stifled a sob.

"This is what I had trained for so hard since I was six. This was my dream Edward. Be up there on that stage, and be in front of all those people. That was my big dream. I sound so shallow now. I sound like a ditzy cheerleader with no drive, just to perform in front of all those people." I knew I sounded withdrawn, I was. I was remembering the first time I had ever performed with my high school varsity squad. My freshman year being the main flyer, all those people. That was a great memory, one I would still hold onto forever.

"How did you get into cheer?" I asked him. He shrugged. I was prepared for the most detailed story but I was surprised and a little amused by his answer.

"I played football. I hurt my knee my sophomore year so I had to find something a little less strenuous. The girls were hot so I thought id give it a try." he told me. I had to laugh, my Edward joined cheer because of girls.

"Edward, how many girlfriends did you have back home?" I asked, it was a question to get his mind off of this horrid month of cheer.

"Just Tanya love. She got attached very quickly, and wouldn't let go. I tried most of my college years in Seattle to get rid of her. That's why I moved, I was so ready to move on, and find….you." he said the last part with such fierce knowing that I had to smile and give him a kiss.

"you know that I wasn't looking for you right." I had said the words before I chose to think about them. He face fell a little, and then became expectant for me to continue.

"I partied all last year, and my grades and everything else suffered because of it. I was intent of spending my senior year of college being studious. Alice and all." I explained, he laughed when I teased Alice.

"So when I saw you coming in for late tryouts, I was already a goner. And then I had to stunt with you, I was so nervous I kept thinking how I was going to mess you up." I told him, I gave him another small peck. He was quiet after that.

"So, does this mean that you and me….were fate?" he asked, almost shyly. I nodded, and followed him into the house. Alice was already there, looking very agitated. I crinkled my eyebrows, something was up.

"What's wrong Alice?" Edwards voice made me realize that something major must be up because he had noticed it too. She silently pointed towards the den, and sauntered off grumbling something about crazy bitch. Edward and I exchanged a worried glace, and then started towards the next room. He stopped abruptly in front of me, making me crash into the back of him.

"There you are! I've been waiting for you." I struggled to figure out where I recognized the voice from. He was standing in front of me, a statue. I nudged him slightly, ushering him out of the way. I pulled in a surprised gasp when she came into my view. I could feel the anger boil up and threatening to escape my mouth. I wanted to find Alice and kill her for even letting her inside. It was kind of ironic in a way though, beings that we had just been talking about her.

"Where have you been Eddie?" her voice was pulled into a whiny draw, I cringed at the sound. Edwards voice was like ice when it sounded into the room.

"What are you doing here Tanya?"
