I'M REALLY SORRY, REALLY GUYS! I just got so caught up in my life that I couldn't imagine the hurt you guys received when you had to wait for so long! You probably thought this was the end of Mistress of Mine. But, fear not, I will finish it, although slowly. I'm really sorry and I'm trying to update sooner but I get so less reviews that I become discouraged to write more.

On with it!

Chapter 5

Edward Cullen is the face I'm gonna be seeing for 8 months. As if that wasn't enough, my company couldn't even spare me time to get over the shock of this fact. No, I had to fly with Edward.

Well, there's only one thing I can possibly do at this moment. I have to call an emergency girls meeting, except Kate because she's in Venice, happily having her honeymoon while I have to orgasm myself every night for quite a while because no other person could give me the pleasure that Edward held the key for.

Usually, I meet Alice and Rosalie every day for breakfast, today was the day that our top employees were all flying for the merger. Emmett and Jasper being director of Finance and Public relations, Alice being the owner of Swan Fashions which was soon going to be called "Swan & Cullen Fashions" and Rosalie for being the Chief Operating Officer of Swan Corporate. Rosalie and Alice may be working for me at a lower level, they were anything but. They both had invested with me and since both of their parents had died, they were adopted by my mother at the age of 3. I was 2 at that time so they're a year older than me. So they both were part of the board meeting and their votes, opinions and decisions were always regarded highly.

Anyways, So they both are supposed to be on a private plan by 10:00 a.m as do I. And the time right now was 7:05. We can meet up.

So I fired off a text to both of them to meet me at Starbucks in 10 mins since we three live very close to it.

As I emerge from my bathroom after a quick shower, I actually have a smile on my face. Dressing up everyday always makes me happy. Because my mother always said to me, "Dress to Impress, Bella. Someday I won't be here to do your hair the right way" because I alway messed up my hairdo even in High school.

Right, she was. She wasn't here anymore and the fact that she's not anywhere in the world makes me hurt a lot because she went too early. Leaving me all alone at the tender age of 23.

Still, I was smiling as I chose a cream-coloured sheer top and a black pencil skirt, with Black high heels and my hair in an updo style with a few strands framing my face and my makeup perfect with red lipstick and black eyeliner. I grabbed my bag and was still smiling as I locked up my penthouse.

But that smile was easily wiped off my face when an Edward Cullen began calling me. I knew that was him as I had kept his ringtone "Tonight I'm Loving You" by Enrique Iglesias.

A huge frown on my face as I pick up, his voice immediately crushed my resolve to speak to him rudely.

"Hello, Isabella. Am I right that you will be flying with me?" His smooth voice floats over from the line and I regret my decision of wearing lacy panties that are now probably wet.

What the hell? Pull yourself together, BELLA!

"No, you will be flying with me." I didn't care if I sounded like a bitch, I just needed to get some advice from my girls and talking to him when I had no idea whether to fuck him or slap him really wasn't helping.

He laughed joyfully and I once marveled at this creation of god. "Ok, so I will be flying with you. Ah, I can't wait to see those pouty lips and curvaceous but sexy and slim body of yours."

My heart soared at his compliment and I actually blushed! "Well, Thank you. Hey Edward, I have to go now because I'm going to be driving."

"Can't you talk and drive at the same time? I know I can." There goes the cockiness again. I swear, this man has a serious issue of mood swings. Here I try to be genuine to get rid of him, and his cocky self returns.

"Fine, then." I said through gritted teeth. The fact that my pussy was throbbing again wasn't helping either.

"Good. Now tell me, lace or satin?"

"What?"

"Your underwear, baby. I bet you're a lace girl, aren't you? I love lace panties. So soft, just like you."

I am. How did he know? I would be lying if I said I hadn't promised myself to burn all my satin underwear.

"Yes, I am. And I'm wearing lacy panties and lacy bra right now. Would you like to know the colour?" I heard him inhale and exhale heavily and smiled triumphantly while keeping my focus on not crashing my Aston Martin One-77.

"Fuck yes. I bet it would give us both pleasure if you showed it to me."

"I agree it would. But you would have to prove yourself as I didn't exactly like the rather eager and ungentlemanly first impression you gave me at the party. I was pretty hurt." I add, just to wind him up. I had no idea he would actually go all caveman and protective and serious over me.

"You were? Fuck, Bella, I don't want anyone hurting you, even if it's myself. I'm really sorry. I just acted on my instinct, and I know it was foolish of me to do. But please believe me when I tell you that I never want to hurt you."

I was shocked by his words. So shocked that I actually pulled my car aside just to focus on his words and be completely mesmerized by them.

"No, Edward, I was just kidding. I mean, sure, you left a really bad impression by appearing like those meet-and0fuck guys. Well, I hate them and I must say I really hated you that night. So yes, I was angry and shocked that such a gentleman could be such a man-whore inside."

"Such harsh words coming from a beautiful mouth. Well,like I said, I acted impulsively and I regret it very much. I'm sorry and I will try to be your knight in shining armour."

I laughed out loud and he joined in. I pulled my car back up on the road and continued to drive towards starbucks when suddenly Edward turned from playful to serious again.

"Bella, I'm not committing something or promising something but I will let you know that that night, when I laid eyes on you in that beautiful dress and the way you walked gracefully and charmingly, I was truly captivated. I don't know, but I really wanted you by my side to show to the world the gorgeous and breathtakingly beautiful woman I had. To show everyone that she was something. I'm sorry if I'm being cheesy but that's really how I felt."

My breathing stopped and suddenly I was parked outside Starbucks with my mind overloaded, my heart racing and my need to just hug this man or possibly kiss him with all that I had. How he managed to make me giddy and my heart flutter and all that bullshit was beyond any sense.

"Really? Edward, do you have any idea what those words mean? You made me feel like I was truly something when I wasn't even trying to impress anyone. Thank you so much Edward."

"Ok, let's leave it at that. I don't really want to go all lovey-dovey and teary-eyed. Let's just not turn it into an ABC family T.V show."

I laughed and said, "Thank you for cheering me up. I don't think I wanted to go to breakfast looking like I've just watched "The Notebook" at 6;30 a.m."

Edward chuckled and I found myself smiling again as I linger just a bit longer before goodbye just to hear his voice again.

"Hey Edward, I need to go. I'll see you soon."

"Oh, I assure you, you're gonna be seeing me in more ways than one." He rang off and I took a deep breath. Calm down, Bella. It was just a dirty innuendo. But I really liked it.

Still smiling with the biggest and goofiest smile on my face, I walked into the cafe and was instantly assaulted by shrieks and angry curse words.

"Where the fuck were you, Isabella Marie Swan? Do you have any idea how long were waiting for the last fucking hour? We need to be on a fucking plane in less than two hours and you're only arriving just now?" Alice's sharp voice pierced my ears and usually, in these circumstances, I tried not to wince and I used to give her piece of my mind on trying to not bang my ear drums.

Rosalie cried out sadly, "I haven't even packed my carry-on bag."

On most days when I'm late, i would ignore them and roll my eyes.

But, No, not today. Today, I actually smiled at her and hugged her and Rosalie and that goofy grin was firmly placed on my face.

"Guys, I was busy talking to a special someone on the phone."

"Their all special." Rosalie muttered under her breath and Alice sighed with a roll of her eyes and I knew that they were probably thinking and assuming that I probably was talking to one of my one-night stands.

That wasn't the case. Nope. Not at all.

I just smiled widely and was still smiling (So hard that I think my cheeks were probably hurting but I was too happy too notice. Why, I was happy, I even didn't know when Alice noticed my giddiness and she misinterpreted the sparkle in my eyes.

"OH MY GOD! Don't tell me! Wow! You are so in love, Bella! Who is it? Somebody in our company? Mike? Please don't tell me it's Newton. No, it can't be. He's not your time. Did you hear, Rosalie? Bella in love!"

I recoiled faster than I would've if somebody had pointed a gun to my head. Shaking my head violently, I pushed the memories back at the mention of the L word. It was too much.

"No Alice! Probably never! I was talking to a guy, the guy last night at Kate's wedding? Edward Cullen? That guy. No lover."

They both sighed but then instantly lit up at the chunk of manliness I mentioned. "Edward Cullen? Wohoo!"

Rosalie exclaimed with joy, "Finally, bitch! I was waiting forever just to listen what you guys were talking about! And don't you dare leave the scene that happened in the hallway outside the ladies room. I didn't see it but I knew that the way you both emerged flushed from the hallway, something had happened. And I also know that they didn't have sex in there, Alice. They were only there for 10 minutes and did you see the way Bella left alone? Alone." She added for emphasis on the fact that I wasn't a whore that night. I knew they mean the best for me but that's what it means in the real world.

I ignored them and rolled my eyes as we sat down at the nearest table to my car outside.

"What will my beautiful ladies? have today? How are you today, pretties?" Eric, the waiter her, asked in a tone which can only be classified as "hitting on us three". Every worker knew us here as we had breakfast here almost every day.

"A latte with extra cream, one cappuccino, and one hot chocolate with extra cream and 3 muffins and 3 croissants please. Thank you, Eric." Rosalie placed her hand on his hand and he actually blushed. Alice and I laughed quietly and Rosalie glared at us.

When Eric was out of earshot, I leaned in. shaking with joy and spilled everything from last night to this morning, including the phone call.

You cannot imagine the shocked faces they had on listening to the first sentence.

Thank you so much for sticking with me! The next chapter will be up soon. Leave me some love! Until next time, Bye!
