Disclaimer: Not mine. Never was

Edward's POV

I woke up what felt like an hour later with Bella lying on my chest. This is a first I thought, waking up with someone. It was nice, her body was warm against mine and her soft hair tickled under my chin as she breathed softly. I ran my fingers through her hair, enjoying the feeling.

Her eyes fluttered open and she looked up at me, "You're still here, I thought you'd be gone"

"Nice to think that's your opinion of me" I said, feigning offence.

"It was, your reputation proceeds you"

"Oh" for some reason I felt bad about that.

"It's ok, you're here now, and that's what matters"

I smiled down at her and kissed her hair, she snuggled further into my chest. My hand softly stroked her bare side as her breath ghosted over my chest.

And we talked. We talked for hours and hours, we talked until I heard the dorm room door open and the sounds of Jasper staggering his drunken way to his bedroom, knocking over a kitchen chair on his way by the sounds of it. I was surprised at how easy it was to talk to her. Really talk to her, not talk to her with the ulterior motive of seducing her. I don't even remember what we talked about, I just remember Bella leaving in the early hours of the morning, saying Alice would be worried and she had a lecture first thing. I walked Bella to my door, a sheet wrapped around my waist. I kissed her good night and returned to my bed in a happy daze.

The next morning I woke up and Jasper was sitting on the kitchen counter eating a bowl of cereal, "Morning Eddie"

"Morning Jazz"

"Wow, you're a good mood. You let me call you Eddie"

"I am in a good mood"

"I take it the Bella crisis is over then? You broke it off?" he asked.

"Nope. She only left around three this morning"

"You brought her back here?"

I nodded, "yes"

"And banged her?"

"Yes" I repeated.

"From eight until three in the morning?"

"No, no" I shook my head, "It was the weirdest thing Jazz, we went to Starbucks and I just had no idea what to talk to her about, I mean, what do people say on dates? So I invited her back here, banged her, then we fell asleep for about an hour. Then we lay in bed together and talked about ourselves" I emphasised the last bit.

"No way"

"I know. Crazy isn't it? Me?"

"You're digging yourself into a hole. You should have ended it"

"I had every intention to, but now I don't want to. She's my girlfriend, they're more likely to believe it was consensual now if it gets around. Which it hopefully won't" I explained.

"Are you menopausing? Because I swear you have more mood swings and changes of mind than my mother"

I laughed, "I'm completely in my right frame of mind Jasper. You were right, I do need to start dating"

"But I didn't mean- "

I had walked out the door before he could finish his sentence.

That whole day I thought of Bella. And more than once I scolded myself for it, I couldn't believe I was so crazy over one girl. One exceptionally beautiful girl but a girl no less. Still, I couldn't seem too available . . I wouldn't call her. I would wait for her to call me again. Or maybe I'll send her a casual text asking her to that Halloween party next week? I really couldn't make up my mind. In the end I didn't do anything. I would text her tomorrow.

My phone rang as I was on my way home and I felt slightly embarrassed that I hoped it would be Bella. It wasn't, my caller ID flashed up Alice's number. I sighed and flipped open my phone, knowing my long over due waiting lecture was waiting on the other end of the line.

Instead I heard a loud squeal, I had to hold the phone away from my ear, "Alice?"

"OH MY GOD! Edward you old dog! Bella told me about last night"

"Shut up Alice, I am not discussing my sex life with my sister

"Yes you are"

"No, I'm not" I insisted.

"My dear brother, if I can tell you that I sucked off your best friend last night you can tell me that you banged my room mate"

"But I didn't want to know that! You insist on informing me of your sexual escapades with Jasper at any opportunity!"

"I'm your sister, if you can't tell me you can't tell anybody!"

"Fuck off" I shut the phone.

I didn't feel bad about hanging up on Alice. I couldn't let her get into her stride and treat me to an in depth analysis of whether Jasper still liked her as much because he only used two fingers. Seriously.

A/N: LOLZ. Done, I just felt like writing two chapters today. Hope you like it! Reviews are love!
