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

I can't believe that it's been this easy to get close to Bella. I had went gone to my physics teacher, a week after school started and asked if he could assign someone to tutor me to help me get caught up with the class. He wrote down a few names of some straight-A students that he thought would be ideal in helping me. I saw Edward's name among the list, as well as a few other's that I recognized, then I saw the one I was hoping for…Isabella Swan.

Mr. Andersen approached Bella on my behalf and she reluctantly agreed to be my tutor. We made arrangements to meet at the local library after school for our first session. If truth be told, I didn't have any need for a tutor. I got in AP Physics all because I'm very capable of understanding the science of matter and energy and the interactions between the two. I had ulterior motives for Edward's Bella, which will leave such a sweet taste in my mouth and a sour one in his when all is said and done.

BPOV

I cannot believe that Mr. Andersen asked me to tutor Lyndsay. She seems to understand the class almost better than I do. Maybe it was just a mask so that she wouldn't feel stupid in an AP Physics class that you can usually only get in on the best grades and with a lot of hard work.

Lyndsay stopped me in the hall on my way to the parking lot after school. Edward had went gone ahead of me, because Emmett had called him on his cell and said he needed to really talk to him, so I told Edward to go ahead so he could have some privacy.

Lyndsay wanted to know when we could meet for our first tutor session. I couldn't help it, I just had to be blunt with her and find out if she had any hidden agendas.

"Why did you ask for a tutor, Lyndsay? You have to be fairly intelligent to have been placed in an AP course and for you to need tutoring just strikes me as being strange," I told her honestly.

"I can understand your hesitance of in wanting to tutor me, Bella. I promise you that it's a genuine need, because I'm falling behind and can't keep up. Just so you know if I truly had an ulterior motive… I could've picked Edward to tutor me. His name was on the list of tutors that Mr. Andersen provided me for tutors. I chose you because I wanted you to see that I'm not the bad guy and that I'm not after your fiancé."

"I know you don't trust me, but I really do need your help. I promise that there will be no games played on my behalf. Will you just give me a chance to show you that, Bella?"

"I will keep an open mind, but I will not hesitate to have Mr. Andersen have someone else tutor you if I think you're up to something. Are we understood?" I asked her.

"Yes, that's fair. So when did you want to meet?" she asked.

"I'm free Wednesday after school. How about we meet at four at the local library?" I replied.

"That's fine with me. I'll see you then," she replied.

LPOV

Bella turned and walked away to meet up with Edward. I saw him waiting for her off in the distance. It's almost sickening how so in love they are with one another. We'll just have to see how strong that love really is. My plan is already coming together just fine.

BPOV

"I don't know Bella, I just don't trust Lyndsay. I know you say that she hasn't tried anything and she hasn't questioned you about your and Edward's relationship…but something is just not right with her," Rose told me as we were sitting up in my room one day after school.

It has been almost a month since I started tutoring Lyndsay. She really has been on her best behavior. No out of line questions, no hanging around Edward or trying to get close to him and she seriously did really need help with Physics. I had given her a few quizzes on our first two tutoring sessions and she got nine wrong out of ten on the first test and all ten wrong on the second test. She either cheated her way into AP Physics or slept her way there.

"I hear what you're saying Rose and I appreciate you looking out for me and having my back, but this girl really seems genuine. It's been a month and… there's been nothing. I would think that she would've made a few moves by now if she was up to something."

"How about we talk about something else. Do you know what you're wearing to Tyler's Halloween Bash? You only have one week to finalize your costume if you don't have one in mind already," I told her.

"What are you going as?" she asked.

"We're going as police officers," I told her calmly.

"That's it? Bella…that's boring. You guys can do so much better than that," she said with disdain in her voice.

"We're happy with our choice, Rose. Please don't be difficult. Have you and Em decided on a costume?"

"Yes we have and we're going as football players. You'll just have to wait and see how my costume looks though…it's nothing like you would imagine," she said with a wink.

"I can't wait till next Friday. We're going to have a great time…I just know it. Everything is just falling into place and nothing can stop us from enjoying a fun night out with friends," I told her with excitement.

"Tyler's parents must really have gone senile to let him have a Halloween party in their house again. The last time he had a party there, their game room got trashed and what's her name that was in our Freshmen English class claimed Quil raped her…remember, remember?" Rose said.

"Wow, I had completely forgotten about that. You're right, I don't know what Karen and Derrick are thinking to let Tyler have a party. Maybe they have some provisions set in place so that type of thing won't happen again. Who knows? I'm just glad that somebody is having a party so we can go get our dance on," I told her as I jumped up from the bed, dancing around my room.

"I can't fucking wait for the graduation party that Edward and Ali are going to have at their house. That's going to be sick," Rose enthused.

"I'm still trying to convince my parents to let me have a "black" party for New Year's Eve. That would be insane. I want to have it at the "Westin Seattle, Grand Ballroom." I've already checked into rates and things of that nature and I even reserved it so no one can else can calumet it for that date." I gushed.

"You already reserved it? Way to go Bells. I will be more than happy to front half of the cost and it can be "our" New Year's Eve Bash. Is that okay, or is this something you just want to do on your own?" Rose asked, her eyes bright with excitement.

"Not at all Rose. I love the idea of you and I doing this together. This will be the best party anyone at Forks High has given to date. Now that you're on board…my parents may not give me any more grief about having it. I'll talk to them again and once I have their answer, we'll start planning," I told her with excitement in my voice.

"Sounds good," Rose replied.

Rose and I hung out for awhile in my room talking, listening to music and looking up decorations on my laptop. I invited her to stay for dinner, but she was meeting Emmett for dinner. I miss hanging out with Rose and I told her as much. She felt the same way as me. I knew that we only have had a few short months to just hang out, before we won't see each other except holidays and summer vacation.

I know that she applied to several colleges on the East Coast and has her heart set on going to Northwestern, which is where Emmett was accepted. Edward and I are going to Dartmouth and we're both so excited about that. We're going out there for spring break so we can look at apartments and get a feel for what it's like there.

After Rose left, I started dinner so that it could be ready when my parents got home from work. My mom usually gets home first, which works out great for me. I need to butter her up so that she can help convince my dad to let me have my "black party". I was making his favorite meal too, steak and baked potatoes. Hopefully, my hard work will pay off…I hope.

"Things are going so well with my tutoring sessions," I told my dad.

"Well that's the idea, considering you don't need a tutor at all in the first place. Your acting skills are better than I thought they were," he said harshly.

"Well, I'm doing only what you asked me to do. By the time I'm done with Isabella Swan, she will be completely oblivious to the fact that she got played."

"You're so confident. I just hope your overconfidence don't cause you to fuck up and make dramatic errors. I need Edward Cullen signed to our label and the only way to get that is for that little bitch to be moved out of his life. She's feeding him those stupid ass ideas of becoming a doctor, when his true talent lies in music. With him on our label and the business he'll bring to the label with his charming good looks and immense talent, it'll help us pull ourselves out of the financial bind we're in," my father said.

"Daddy…how is it that we're so close to filing bankruptcy when you're steady building businesses? I mean, I thought we were millionaires a hundred times over. Is that not the case anymore?" I questioned him.

"Not that I should have to explain this to you, but when I took out all those loans from those loan sharks…I never paid them all back. Let's just say that there are people out there who are causing havoc in my business, causing it to suffer. If I don't pay these men back the money I owe them, they will take over my businesses and probably put a bullet in my head. They won't care anything about the fact that I have a family. Everything I do is for our family. That's why I need you to make sure you come through for me. Signing Edward to our label would be the answer to all my problems," he told me.

"I won't fail you Daddy. I'm going to get Edward to break up with Bella and be there to fill the void for him. I'll convince to sign with us and let his dream of being a doctor go. With Bella out of the way, he will no longer have anyone to influence his decisions. With him being an adult now, it makes it much easier since we won't have to get approval from his parents. I think Esme is suspicious of us for some reason. She seemed overly nice when we had dinner there that first time, but the last two times we've had dinner with them, she's been looking at me as if she suspects something is up."

"Well you better do whatever you need to do in order to stay on her good side, because we cannot afford to have her keeping a watchful eye over Edward all of a sudden. That would ruin everything we're working so hard to gain. Do whatever you have to do to keep that from happening…at all cost." He stared me right in the eye.

"Yes Daddy." I replied like a good little girl.

Unbeknownst to the pair that their entire conversation was being recorded and observed.

MYSTERY (?) POV

I'll have to be even more watchful of their movements now that I have more proof as to their devious plan. I wonder who else in the family was in on this plan of theirs. It doesn't matter, I have no problem taking them all down if it means putting an end to their insanity.

They won't know what hit them when I'm done with them.

EPOV

It's taken some getting used to, having to be around Lyndsay. As nice as she's been lately, since Bella has been tutoring her, I still don't trust her. I'm not the only one either. My mother has a very unsettling feeling about her. She wouldn't say what her reasoning was behind that feeling, but normally if my mom has a bad feeling about someone it's usually because they're up to something no good. I've been keeping tabs on Bella when she's with Lyndsay, even is she doesn't know I'm doing it. I will not let that girl hurt my Bella. If she does have something up her sleeve, then I'm going to know about it before she gets a chance to make any moves.

I'm on my way to Bella's house now to ride with her to school. Since we've been carpooling, we get to spend more time together in the mornings and the afternoons. On Bella's week to drive, I drive to her house and just leave my car parked in front of her house while we take her car. Since I live on the outskirts of town, it just makes more sense this way.

Today after school we have our fitting for our Halloween costumes and then Bella is going to tutor Lyndsay for an hour at the library, while I finish up composition for music class. I'm taking her out to dinner when we're done at the library so we have some "us" time.

Since it is a school night, we won't be out too late. At least tomorrow is Friday and we have Tyler's Halloween party to look forward to. I'm a little nervous about Bella's and my costumes, because we left it up to Alice to find us the perfect costume. We told her that we wanted to go as police officers and she said that she had the perfect costume in mind. We'll find out if our decision to trust Ali with that task was worth it.

As I pulled up to the Swan's' home, I noticed that I was earlier than usual. We still had forty minutes before we needed to be at school. Both Charlie and Renee should be gone to work already, leaving Bella and I alone. I quickly got out of my car and walked up to her door and rung the doorbell. Within seconds, my angel was standing before me in a very short blue silk robe.

"I was wondering if you were going to make it in time," she said to me with a smirk on her face.

"I wouldn't miss the opportunity to make you scream out my name," I told her confidently.

"Well what are you waiting for Mr. Cullen," she said seductively as she closed the door behind me and untied her robe. She was completely nude underneath it.

"Fuck, Bella. You are so fucking beautiful," I told her as I took her in my arms and attached my lips to her own.

I inched her back to her piano…our favorite place lately to fuck. I laid her down on the bench seat and quickly removed my own clothing before dropping to my knees and fucking her with my tongue.

"Shit Edward," she screamed out as she laced her fingers in my hair and pushed my face into her dripping pussy.

I quickly brought her to climax before standing up and pulling her up to me and lifting her so she could wrap her legs around my waist. In one smooth motion I was deep inside of her, pounding away. We were fucking up against the wall next to the big bay window, where we had a perfect view of anyone coming up to the house.

"Fuck…harder Edward. Ugh, I'm going to cum Edward. Cum with me baby," she yelled.

"I'm cumming Bella…cum now," I demanded of her.

I felt her walls clinch around my engorged dick and I knew she had found her release as well. After a quick check of the time, we had twenty minutes till school started. We headed up to her room, after gathering all of our clothing, and took a quick shower together. After we dressed and gathered our school bags, we left her house and made it to school with five minutes left till the bell.

Of course nothing goes unnoticed by Rose, because she was quick to open her mouth and voice her opinion this morning.

"It looks like somebody got lucky before school this morning," she said, directing her glares at Bella and me.

"So what," my angel replied with a smirk on her face.

"Bella…you little tramp. Are you still fucking in your parents' house after your mother told you not to?" she asked trying to be funny.

"Well, what she doesn't know won't hurt her. Besides, when you have this fine specimen of a man standing before you with his sexed up hair and sexy ass crooked smile…your panties would drop too," Bella told her.

"Or the lack thereof," I said a little louder than I'd meant to.

"Edward!" Bella exclaimed as she hit me lightly on the arm.

"I'm sorry, love. I didn't mean for that to come out as loud as it did," I admitted.

"It's okay baby. You bring out my inner sex goddess and for that I can never be mad at you," she told me as she kissed my lips softly.

I didn't even realize that several different people, aside from Bella, Rose, and myself were observing our conversation. Ali, Jazz, Lyndsay, Mike, Jessica and Lauren had been listening in as well. I looked back at the group of people listening and noticed that Mike had scowl on his face, Lyndsay looked amused, Jessica and Lauren looked jealous, and Ali and Jazz looked as if it was nothing out of the ordinary.

We walked into class and took our seats. As Lauren and Jessica passed by I heard Jessica say, "I don't know why he continues to waste his time with that pop tart. She's such a slut. He would look so much better with me on his arm."

I knew Bella heard her, because she turned and gave her a very nasty look. Lauren poked Jessica in the side to get her attention, which then she then turned back and looked at Bella. It was like the blood drained out of her body, because she all of a sudden she looked so pale. She quickly turned away and went to her table. My angel turned back to face me and dazzled me with the beautiful smile she tossed my way. God, how I love this woman.

The rest of the day went by in a complete blur. Before I knew it, we were at my house, trying on our costumes. Bella was in Ali's room trying on hers and then Ali was going to come up to my room to see me in mine. I must admit that it's form- fitting and I will definitely have to wear a cup with it. I'm almost afraid to see how Bella's looks, if mine is as revealing as it is. Unfortunately I'm going to have to wait until tomorrow night to see how she looks in hers. Ali refuses to let us see each other in costume before tomorrow night.

Ali gave me the thumbs up after seeing me in my costume and said that I was going to love Bella's. She promised that it wasn't too revealing, but that it was definitely sexy. I thanked her and then went to get Bella so we could get to the library and then go out on our date. I'm looking forward to just talking to her and being around her.

BPOV

Alice has lost her ever-loving mind, if she thinks I'm going to wear this to Tyler's party. I might as well be naked with all the skin I'm showing in this costume. I wonder how Edward's looks. I mean, it can't be as bad as mine…could it? I know there's no turning back from it now, because we did give her free rein to find and purchase our costumes for us.

It would take some getting use to that's for sure. As long as Edward is by my side to keep those nasty little perverts off of me, e…I'll be fine. When I say perverts, I mainly mean Mike. Even though I've been with Edward for over a year now, Mike still thinks he has a chance.

Mike could be a really cool friend if he just got rid of the needy factor. He's not even a bad- looking guy and I was for certain that Jessica was it for him. Even though they still hook up from time to time, they are not at all exclusive. Maybe he'll grow up once he goes off to college. I hear he's going to UCLA, so maybe that'll do him some good.

I met Edward in his room. He was lying across the bed, waiting for me, I guess. When I came into the room, he sat up and asked if I was ready to go to the library. We headed out after a few minutes and made it to the library in no time. I had called Lyndsay and told her that we were leaving Edward's house and would be at the library in ten minutes. She said she had just pulled up to the library and was going to go inside and grab us a table to study at. After I got off the phone with her, I looked over at Edward…preparing to ask him about his costume. He was looking at me with a confused look etched on his face.

"What's the matter?" I asked him.

"You really trust her, don't you," it was a statement, not a question that he asked me.

"I don't think she's the same girl anymore that she was in the beginning. We're not close enough for me to say if I truly trust her whole-heartedly or not. I try to keep my guard up when it comes to her, but feel that there's really no need to." I replied honestly.

"Bella…love, you really have got to stop being so trusting in people. I don't ever want to see you hurt and it would kill me if that silly girl ever did anything to harm you, thinking that she has you right where she wants you." Edward said sweetly.

"I get it Edward and I'm not that naïve…really I'm not. Please have some faith in me to make smart decisions for myself," I said a little harshly.

"I'm sorry love, I didn't mean to upset you. I just love you so much and sometime that clouds my judgement, causing me to have word vomit spew out of my mouth. Please forgive me," he asked in his my most sincere voice.

"I'm not angry with you Edward. It does hurt that you don't think I can handle myself in certain situations, but I know it's because you love me that you do the things you do. I would do the same if circumstances were different. I love you too baby," I told him as I reached over to grab his right hand.

We pulled up to the library and Edward got out to come around and open my door for me. Always the gentleman…just another reason to love him. Before we moved to walk up to the glass doors of the building, Edward wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me in for a passionate kiss. It wasn't provocative or anything, I mean we are aware that kids do come to library as well. It was just a kiss with raw hunger behind it. I knew it was his way and reassuring me that he was indeed sorry for what happened in his car and he wanted to pour all of his love into me, so I could feel it too.

When we broke away from the kiss, our foreheads rested against one another as we inhaled and exhaled to catch our breath.

"Am I forgiven love?"

"Yes."

"I love you Bella…always and forever."

"I love you too Edward…forever and always."

A.N. This was more of a filler chapter to move into the upcoming chapter. What did you think of Mystery (?) POV? Do you have any ideas as to who it could be? What did you think about Lyndsay's conversation with her father? Please leave me a review with your predictions and thoughts.

The next chapter will be the Halloween party and we'll see Lyndsay making some moves…
