Disclaimer: I own nothing!

So I've been tapped by the lovely "Forevertwilight 2013" to beta my story. She's going to revamp all the previous chapters and help me to make sure the remaining chapters are up to par. So, many thanks to her for offering and wanting to take on this daunting task.

I must say that I was really shocked that a lot of you thought that the blonde girl would be Tanya. There is no more Tanya for this story. I think she thoroughly got the message when she visited the family all those months ago. So rest assured that she will not be making any appearances in the remaining chapters.

Just great, she would be in a class with him that I wasn't in. All I could do was continue to trust Edward. If I started doubting him and worrying now, I would do nothing but cause a rift between us…which could end up tearing us apart.

"Get it together, Swan," I told myself as I made my way inside my nutrition class and took a seat next to Ali.

"Hey Bella," she said in greeting.

"Hey Ali," I said to her with a smile.

"Don't worry about him Bella…everything is going to be just fine," she told me.

That damn pixie can be fucking scary at times, with her cryptic messages and all. I just looked over at her and shook my head. For some odd reason, I didn't doubt her words…I honestly believed her.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

I didn't have a chance to really question Alice about her observation, because our teacher, Mrs. Watson, was starting class. We went over the course outline for the year so that we would know what additional supplies we would need for the class. Halfway through class a very attractive, blonde haired, gray-eyed boy walked in with a note and gave it to the teacher. I had never seen this boy before, so I wondered if he was new this year.

"May I have your attention class? We have a new student, Logan Lively. Please have a seat over at the table where Miss Swan, Miss Cullen, and Mr. Newton are seated," she told him.

Mike waved his hand in the air so the boy would know where to go. Our table was one of the only two that weren't full. I'm not sure why she didn't put him at Jessica, Lauren, and Tyler's table…but I'm sure she has her reasons. I don't know what I was expecting from this boy, who has to be the twin of the girl who tried to sleep with Edward. I hope he isn't going to be a problem, too.

When Logan arrived at our table, he shook Mike's hand and then said hello to both Alice and me. He seemed kind of quiet and shy. I know he would have all the girls on him in no time, because he was not hard on the eyes at all. However, although he was cute, he couldn't hold a torch to my Edward.

Class went on without incident and before long Ali and I was heading to lunch. Edward met us outside his classroom and immediately came to me and kissed me in the middle of the hallway. When he let me up for air I instantly noticed Lyndsay standing off in the background…watching us.

Edward didn't see her, but Ali did and she rolled her eyes blatantly at the girl, which Lyndsay saw. We walked on to the lunchroom to meet up with the rest of our friends, who should be there by now. After grabbing a tray and putting a few items on it, I headed off to the cashier to pay for my lunch. Of course, Edward beat me to it and I gave him a playful scowl.

"What? You should know by now that I was going to pay for your food, even though I know you can afford to do it on your own. Just let me be the gentleman I was raised to be love, okay?"

"When you put it like that, how can I refuse you anything?" I teased him as we walked to our table.

"So what's up guys? Anything exciting happen in fourth period?" Rose asked.

"Not for us," I said.

"Well, we did meet the new kid, Logan. He's in Bella's and my nutrition class and was assigned to our table," Ali admitted.

"Oh yeah, him. What is he like?" Edward questioned.

"He seems quiet and shy. All he said was hello to Ali and me, but he shared a few words with Mike that I didn't quite pick up on," I told him, and then asked in return, "How was class with Lyndsay?"

"It was fine. She sits in the first row and I sit in the third row, so we're not close enough to talk, thankfully, and Mr. Pattinson kept us too busy for her to be able to try and say anything to me," he told me.

"Did you say Mr. Pattinson?" I asked incredulously.

"Yeah…why?" he replied, brows furrowing in confusion.

"My piano teacher's name is Mr. Pattinson. Robert Pattinson, to be exact. What happened to Mr. Timberlake?"

"Mr. Timberlake took a position at Harvard and Mr. Pattinson…Robert Pattinson, is his replacement. I guess we're being taught by your old piano teacher…what a coincidence." he smiled.

"That's cool. He's funny and very gifted. I'm glad that you'll be taught by someone with a lot of insight into the business. That may help you since you're considering music as a major. How do you feel about him as a teacher? I mean, I know it's the first day and all, but you can usually get a general idea about someone within the first five minutes of meeting them."

"I think he's cool, Bella. I'm sure I'll learn a great deal from him. I see you definitely have and that's inspiring," he replied.

Lunch went by with more conversation about the first day of classes and what we thought about our teachers. It wasn't long before students started filing out of the lunchroom and heading to their sixth period classes. I have AP Calculus with Edward, Rose, Jasper and Angela.

On our way out the lunchroom, Lyndsay walks up to Edward and me and stops in front of him.

"Hi Edward. I didn't know you went to this school. Wow, what a small world. Maybe we can hang out sometime since we didn't have a chance to in Seattle…what with your busy schedule and all," she said while throwing me a curious look.

"I didn't even know you were in high school. I thought you were older…maybe a college girl and all. As for us hanging out, I think we already discussed that in Seattle. I'm sure you will have your hands plenty full soon--the boys here just can't get enough of you, it seems," he told her as he observed several guys giving her an appraising look.

"That may be the case, but I'm not interested in them like that," she said, putting emphasis on "that".

"Well I'm sorry to hear that, but maybe you'll change your mind in time. All my free time is spent with this lovely lady right here…my Bella." He replied, smirking.

I stuck my left hand out to shake hers. I knew she would notice the ring on my ring finger that I had started wearing on my left ring finger over the summer. Edward thought it was fitting, because soon enough it would be replaced with an actual engagement ring.

"Oh my…are you two engaged?" she asked as she took in the ring on my finger.

I was about to speak up and say no, but Edward beat me to the punch.

"You could say that. Bella is the only girl for me, the only one who can hold my attention. So I have asked her to be my wife and she has said yes," he told her politely but firmly.

"You don't think you're too young for that kind of commitment," she stated in disbelief.

"Not when you're absolutely sure of something. There's no girl in this world for me other than Bella. That's all that matters," he told her as he looked at me lovingly.

"Is this what you want too, Bella? Is Edward the last man you ever want to kiss, ever want to make love to?" she asked boldly.

I didn't even have to hesitate, even with the boldness of her question. I responded by simply saying, "absolutely!"

Before she could ask another question and make us late for our class, I said, "sorry to be rude…but we really need to get to class. It was nice meeting you Lacey."

"It's Lyndsay," she reminded me, not knowing that I flubbed her name on purpose.

We made it to class two minutes late, but our teacher, Mrs. Jordan, had thankfully not arrived yet. We were lucky, because she's very strict about being on time.

We sat at the table next to Rose and Jasper. We didn't get a chance to talk to them, though, because Mrs. Jordan had finally made her way into the classroom.

"Sorry for my tardiness, class, but I needed to speak with the principal," she announced to us.

Class went on and all else was forgotten…for the moment. However, I had a deep suspicion that we were far from being done with Lyndsay. I saw it in her eyes…she's after something. What bothers me, is that she kept giving me this odd look. I couldn't place it, but I know I didn't like it!

LPOV

At first I couldn't believe that he had turned me down in Seattle. I mean…who turns down this? I had planned to give him a night of his life, but then he goes and rejects me. I'll show him.

That little beauty of a girlfriend he has will fit quite nicely into my plan. She won't know what hit her!

BPOV

After Calculus, Edward and I have gym. We didn't have to dress for class today, because Coach just wanted to go over some things with us. He did so and then let us go early. I knew that the others wouldn't be done for another thirty minutes, so Edward sent Ali a text asking her if she could catch a ride home with Rose and Jazz. She texted right back and said sure.

He followed me to my house, where no one was home. We made our way up to my bedroom and as soon as I had closed the door, he was attacking my lips, neck and throat with his lips and tongue. We came up for air for a minute before we continued our previous activities. It didn't take us long to undress each other and make our way over to my bed.

Edward moved down my body, took my left nipple into his mouth, and sucked it between his lips before letting it go with a pop. He licked around the nipple before moving over to the right one. I felt his hand begin its decent further down my body to my core. He quickly dipped two fingers inside of me and started pumping in and out vigorously.

"Uh, fuck baby! You're so fucking wet for me," he moaned.

"Mmmm, yes, Edward…I'm so close, baby! Shit…fuck…Eddddwwward!!!!!" I screamed out.

He quickly moved over me and thrust inside of me.

"Ahhh," we moaned in unison.

He pushed my legs up around his waist and grasped my waist with his hands. He leaned back on his legs causing me to arch up off the bed as if I was riding him. He thrust in and out of me so hard that I knew I was going to explode soon.

"Harder Edward, harder," I yelled.

He complied with quick, deep thrust.

"Cum for me Bella, cum with me," he coaxed.

"I'm cumming Edward, I'm cumming," I yelled even louder as my orgasm overtook me.

"Shit baby, your pussy is fucking amazing," he told me as he lied next to me on my bed.

"Well maybe that's because you have an equally amazing cock that fits perfectly inside of it," I told him with a wink.

We drifted off to sleep in my bed and I'm not sure how long we slept for, but I was having the most awesome dream.

Edward and I had just finished making love and we were holding each other lying in the bed. I must have dozed off to sleep, because the wonderful feeling of his tongue between my legs awakened me. He is so gifted with that tongue of his that it doesn't take me that long to reach my point of no return. The feelings were so strong in my dream that my conscious made me believe that's the reason why I woke up. The truth is that everything I dreamed had actually happened. Edward was between my legs licking my pussy.

"Oh my God, Edward, I thought I was dreaming that. That felt so good." I moaned. "Can I return the favor?"

"You don't have to love. I did that because I like doing it," he told me, smiling sexily.

"Just as I like doing it for you," I winked in return as I positioned myself on the floor between his legs.

"Bella you really are amazing and I'm not just saying that because you want to give me a blow job, but because you are so selfless and you are a really good person." Edward whispered lovingly. Then he chuckled lightly. "I totally killed the mood just now, didn't I?"

I didn't even answer him; I just took as much of him in my mouth as I could.

"Mmmm, I guess not. Shit, Bella, that feels so good," he moaned out.

I kept licking up and down his shaft, twirling my tongue around his tip and then sucking him fully into my mouth. I was massaging his balls and the bottom of half his shaft that I couldn't fit in my mouth. I love the sounds he makes when I do this to him. I could feel his hand in my hair as he thrust up and down in time with my movements, but never pushing in too much where I would gag or choke.

"I'm close baby, oh yeah…just like that," he groaned.

I became more aggressive with my sucking, gripped just a bit tighter around his shaft, and worked my tongue the way I know he likes me to and with very little warning, he exploded in my mouth, yelling out my name while he came. I loved every bit of it.

"Bella, what are you doing up there? I saw Edward's car outside. What are you two up to? It better be what I think it is or you're both in some serious trouble," my mother yelled as she moved closer and closer to my room.

I quickly told Edward to grab his clothes and run into the bathroom and shut the door. I grabbed my clothes, threw them in my closet and pulled on a pair of jogging pants and a T-shirt that I left out last night. I turned on the radio and laid across my bed just as my mother opened up my bedroom door.

"What's going on in here young lady," she asked me suspiciously.

"Nothing, Mom. We were just up here listening to some music that's all. Edward's in the bathroom doing God knows what. What did you think we'd be doing?" I asked, feigning hurt and innocence.

"Oh don't act all innocent on me, young lady. I know the two of you are not virgins and that you have a very active sex life. Remember that I'm best friends with Esme and she's let it slip a time or two that she's heard some very loud noises coming from Edward's room when you're over there. Now while neither one of us is ready to become grandparents, we are not blind to the fact that you two have sex. However, I will not tolerate you having sex under my roof. Esme may have different rules for her house, but I won't condone it in my house. Do you understand me," she asked sternly.

"Yes mom." I rolled my eyes.

"Edward I know you heard everything I just said in there, do you understand what I just told Bella?" she directed her comments at him now.

"Yes ma'am," he said as he opened up the bathroom door and walked into my bedroom, fully clothed.

"Now I'm not going to say anything more about the subject, because I know the two of you were up here having sex…you can smell it. I'm also not going to punish you this time, but just be forewarned. Now, I won't restrict your visits to the first floor, but if I should be given any reason to in the future…I will not hesitate to do it. By the way, Edward, your mom wants you home early for dinner. You guys are having guests over," she announced as she walked out of my room.

"Guest…what guests are you guys having over for dinner?" I questioned him curiously.

"I'm not sure, but it could always be someone that my dad works with from the hospital or maybe one of my mom's clients. Did you want to come over and have dinner with us?" he offered.

"Um, I think I'm going to stay home tonight and hang out with my mom and dad…if that's okay with you," I replied tentatively.

"That's fine. I will call you after dinner and let you know how it went. I'll miss you, love. Will you let me pick you up for school in the morning? I hate it when we drive separately and we're going to same to destination," he admitted.

"Sure you can pick me up, baby. We can ride to school together every day and just switch up cars each week. You drive the rest of this week and I'll drive next week. We'll do it that way for the rest of the school year. How does that sound?" I suggested.

"It's perfect. I've gotta go now, love. See you in the morning," he said before giving me a kiss and heading out of my bedroom.

I followed him downstairs and walked him to the door. We kissed once more and then he walked to his car and was gone a few moments later.

I didn't have any homework, with it being the first day of school and all, so I went into the kitchen to see if my mom wanted my help with dinner. It's times like these that I enjoy the relationship I have with my mom. I really can talk to her about anything, although I choose not to divulge all my secrets to her.

We made some pork chops with mashed potatoes and sweet peas. My dad walked in the door a few minutes before dinner was finished cooking. He gave my mom and a kiss on the lips and then kissed me on the forehead. While he went to freshen up for dinner, my mom asked me the one question I'd known she would get around to asking me eventually.

"Bella, are you and Edward being safe? I mean, I know I took you to get your IUD and all, but now that you're grown up and you don't need me to go with you to the doctor…I just didn't know if you had it removed or what your method of protection is."

"Mom, don't worry. We're being totally safe. I still have my IUD in and don't have any plans to have it removed, other than when it's time for them to replace it. Edward and I want to finish college and get a good job before we have kids. Plus, we want to be married first and that's definitely not going to happen until after college," I assured her.

She must have been satisfied with my answers, because she dropped the subject after that. We all sat down in the dining room and had dinner. Dad told us about the nonexistent going-ons of Forks, Mom gave us the rundown on all the hospital gossip, which really wasn't anything exciting at all. I told them about my first day back at school and about the new kids.

"Oh yeah, I met the father when I stopped at the gas station on my way to work. He seems like a nice enough fellow. He mentioned that he had just moved here with his wife and two kids. Another set of twins, huh?" he asked thoughtfully.

"As a matter of fact, yes. A boy named Logan, who is in my nutrition class, and his twin sister Lyndsay, who is in two of my classes. Logan is more reserved and keeps to himself, Lyndsay is more boisterous and outgoing," I explained to them.

"Do you see yourself becoming friends with them?" my mom asked.

"I will be friendly with them mom, but it's just the first day of school. Who knows what's going to happen in the coming months?" I shrugged.

"I'm sure you will be good friends. You always seem to get along well with the new kids in town," she said with a little wink.

Conversation after that consisted mostly of stuff my mom and dad had going on in their lives. Once everyone finished eating, I cleared the table and cleaned up the kitchen before heading up to my room for the night. I checked my phone and saw that Edward hadn't called or text me. I figure their dinner guest must still be there and he hadn't been excused yet.

While I waited for Edward to call me, I took a shower and washed my hair. I didn't bother with blow-drying it, I just opted for two French braids on each side of my head to give it that crinkly look in the morning. I made sure my clothes for school tomorrow were laid out and didn't need to be pressed. Once I had all of that done, I sat at my computer surfing the net. It was almost nine and I was beginning to wonder if Edward would be able to call tonight. Maybe their dinner guest would be staying overnight and he wouldn't have a chance to call before I went to bed. "Stop it Bella, you're over-analyzing things again," I scolded myself.

I logged off the computer and went to lie down in my bed. I couldn't help it, I was sleepy and I couldn't keep my eyes open much longer. I began to drift off to sleep before hearing his ringtone.

Baby you know that I miss you, I wanna get with you tonight

But I cannot baby girl and that's the issue

Girl you know I miss you, I just wanna kiss you

But I can't right now so baby kiss me thru the phone, I'll see you later on

Kiss me thru the phone, see you when I get home

"Hey. I didn't think you would call," I said into the phone.

"I'm sorry it took me so long love, but it turns out that our dinner guest was none other than Lyndsay and her family," he told me.

"What?" I questioned forcefully as I set up in my bed. I was wide-awake now.

"It just so happens that my mom was hired by Lyndsay's mom to redecorate their home and they must have hit it off, because she invited them over to our house for dinner," he admitted.

All of a sudden, I didn't like Esme. I knew she wasn't aware of what had transpired between Lyndsay and her son, but damn! After having to put up with the Denali's, even knowing they were good friends with Carlisle and Esme, I just don't think I can do the same thing with the Lively's, should they become close to Carlisle and Esme like Tanya and her family were.

So I put on a brave face and tried to convey it through my words as I talked to Edward. "So how did things go? I guess dinner ran a little late, since you're just now calling me," I said not trying to sound like I was jealous.

"Your guess would be correct Bella. On top of that, mom wouldn't let Ali or me leave the table until almost 8:30, after which time she said that we were to entertain Lyndsay and Logan in the family room while she and my dad spoke with Mr. and Mrs. Lively in my dad's study. We weren't allowed to call you or Jasper, because they didn't want us to be rude to our guests. Dad said it wouldn't kill us to interact with the new kids for one evening and that you and Jasper would understand. I'm so sorry love…I really wanted to call you or at least text you on several occasions, but I wasn't allowed." He replied apologetically.

"Wow, I never thought your parents would become so strict like that. I understand that you couldn't call before now and I'm okay with that. So did the new kids have much to say?" I questioned nonchalantly.

"Not Logan…he was really quiet. He really only said a few words when asked a question or to compliment my mom's cooking or our home. Lyndsay, on the other hand, was full of questions." I could hear him stress the full part.

"I just bet she was. What did Blondie have to say?" I asked with distaste in my voice.

"Well you may be surprised by the things she asked. She was very interested in you, actually." He answered thoughtfully.

A.N. Does anyone want to take a guess as to what Lyndsay's interest in Bella will be? What's your take on her so far? Leave me a review with your thoughts. Feel free to send me a message if you have a specific question you want answered. I won't make any guarantees as to whether or not I'll be able to answer it, but I'll give you as much info as I can without spoiling the remaining chapters of this story.

Up next, Lyndsay and Bella exchange some words…
