Sorry it has been almost a week since I have updated. I was trying to figure out a good transition. Hopefully this will do. The next chapter should be fun! Let me know if you have any good ideas! I know what I would like to see but what would you like to see? Thanks to jaxon22, James' Lily Flower, lilquackers77 and everyone else who keeps reviewing! I appreciate it more than you know!

E.P.O.V.

I left Bella's apartment and raced up the stairs to mine. I was trying to comprehend what had just happened. My heart was beating faster than it has in a long time. I thought it would quite literally jump right out of my chest. I kept thinking of her soft lips melting to mine. She tasted so sweet and I wished that she had actually been awake so I could have kissed her further. The way she slipped her hand up into my hair was so damn sexy. I was hoping upon hope that she would not be upset with me for all that had happened. She didn't seem to be awake but I wasn't sure if she would actually realize what happened. It's not like we slept together or anything. It was just a simple kiss. A simple kiss that had me begging for more.

She would probably be wondering how she got from my car into her apartment and I would definitely have some explaining to do later on. But for now I would just concentrate on trying to get to sleep myself. I had so much pent up energy that I thought about going for a run but I decided to just take a nice cold shower and try to get some sleep. I wanted to get up a little earlier than I might normally so I could make a point of talking to Bella to be sure she isn't upset about me letting myself in to her apartment. In fact, maybe I would cook dinner for her tonight. I started to think about what I would make for her.

We also had to discuss her vehicle situation. I was trying to think of a nice way of telling her that her vehicle should probably be put out of it's misery but I was pretty sure from the little I already knew of this girl that she would probably take offense to this bit of information. I really didn't mind driving her to work everyday. I would gladly do this to make sure that she made it to and from work safely. I was starting to feel very protective over her. Maybe it's because disaster seems to find her within a 100 mile radius. Luck was definitely not on her side. I wondered if it was some cosmic curse that constantly kept her tripping and falling.

I got out of the shower and threw on a pair of boxers right away to make sure that I would not go greeting anyone in a towel again although Bella didn't really seem to mind last night. I heard her gasp a little when I had squatted down to look at her knee completely forgetting what little I was wearing. I did see something in her eyes though and it looked a lot like desire.

Then I realized one important question that I had not asked her yet. We had talked about our families and music and movies and books and even our favorite foods. How could I have not asked her one of the most important questions. Does she had a boyfriend? It seemed a little forward to ask this of someone I really don't know all that well yet but I was sure that someone as cute and intelligent as her must have someone back home. She told me about that dickwad Mike Newton and what he had done with her best friend, but I was sure there must be someone else in her life. How could there not be. And boy did I hope I was wrong!

I finally succumbed to sleep desperately hoping that I would dream about my angel. As I drifted off to sleep I thought about the taste of Bella on my lips and slowly I drifted off again into one of the best dreams I have had in all of my life.

B.P.O.V.

I had been swimming in the pool again when I felt those warm hands wrap around my breasts again. He turned me around and I could feel his arousal pushing into my stomach. He looked at me with his deep green eyes and smiled. I could tell where this was leading and I was ready. He looked at me with such longing and I couldn't help feeling the same way. I wanted this and needed this. I just nodded at him, giving him my silent permission. He leaned in and kissed my right cheek and then my left cheek and I slowly turned my head until my lips met his. It was the most exhilarating experience I have ever had. Kissing Mike had never been this good. I lifted my hand and pushed my fingers through his hair. Twisting through his wet hair and grabbing hold while he deepened the kiss. I opened my mouth slightly and sighed as he slid his tongue along my bottom lip and then entered my mouth. It was probably a good thing I was in a pool and didn't have to worry about how wet I was becoming. Edward's hands were like magic. He slid them up and down the sides of my ribs gently stroking and every now and then coming to the front to massage my breasts. I started to grind up against him knowing that there was nothing between us. He slid one hand down and started to rub back and forth between my…….

BEEP… BEEP… BEEP

Oh shit! It's my alarm already! I woke up and stretched as far as I could. Reaching up to my headboard with my hands and stretching my toes out as far as they would go. I was having the best dream of my life! It felt so real! I wanted it to be real. I wanted Edward to have his hands all over me and I wanted Edward to be kissing me in real life not just in my dreams. I rolled over and turned my annoying alarm clock to the off position. I sat up in bed and looked down at myself.

"What in the world?" I said. I could not for the life of me figure out why I would have went to bed in my scrubs. Now that I had come to think about it I really don't remember coming to bed at all. The last thing I remember was sitting in Edward's car and realizing that I was coming down off of a major Mountain Dew buzz. I started getting sleepy and I must have dozed off. But how in the heck did I get into my apartment.

I swung my legs over the side of the bed and saw my socks and shoes sitting there. That's not usually where I put them I realized. I got off the bed and went down the hallway. My purse and keys were sitting on the kitchen counter. I walked over to the door and checked to see and sure enough the door was locked. Was I really that wiped out after my first night shift that I don't even remember coming home?

Then slowly but surely pieces started fitting together.

1. I remember being in Edward's car.

2. I remember (slightly) Edward saying something about honey and upstairs. I would definitely have to ask him what that was about.

3. I remember feeling very safe like I was wrapped in a very warm blanket that would never leave me or let me down.

And last but not least

4. I remember something soft on my cheek and then on my lips.

What in the heck was that? Was I dreaming all of that too? I must have been really tired.

I looked at my clock and saw that it was 3 pm. Well I guess I'm up for the day now. I don't know if I could get back to sleep after that dream I had. I decided to go and take a nice bubble bath. I hadn't done that for a while and my apartment had this gorgeous big bath tub that was just calling my name. And now that I thought about it maybe I could take care of a little business while I was in there. I started to think about my dream again and how Edward's hand was just about to start teasing me when I woke up. The only problem was my dream never finished so I guess I would have to take care of that myself. It wasn't something that I liked to do often, but I guess I got used to it when I was with Mike. Mike was never really able to satisfy me and I had to take matters into my own hands so to speak on more than one occasion.

I filled the tub and stepped in. I was just starting to relax and just began to touch myself when I heard a knock on my door. Oh my god in heaven who could that be. I got out of the tub with soap suds all over my body and grabbed a towel. I knew that I couldn't answer the door like that so I grabbed my robe off the back of the bathroom door. It wasn't much of a robe. It was a satin wrap that barely covered my ass but it was better than a towel or so I thought.

I heard the knock again and hollered that I was coming. I knew whoever it was didn't seem very patient today. I went to the door and opened it only to be surprised by my gorgeous doctor. He was standing there in a tight fitting black t-shirt and a pair of khaki shorts. His mouth hit the floor when I opened the door. He didn't say anything at first and just stood there with his mouth open.

I looked at him kind of puzzled and said "Hi Edward. What can I do for you?"

Edward just looked at me and stuttered out the words "B-B-Bella, I um ah, really think you should go and put something on."

I looked at him kind of puzzled. What did he mean put something on. I was wearing this robe and it covered everything important. Then I looked down. I had gotten out of the tub soaking wet and threw the satin robe on, not thinking about how it was white and was now clung to my body. You could literally see everything through the robe. It was a little cooler in my apartment then it was in the bathroom and my nipples were showing right through. I turned 50 shades of pink and ran to my bedroom horrified that I had just given the man of my dreams a very good look at myself. Well I guess nothing was left to the imagination now.

I hurried and threw on a pair of shorts that I had and a hoodie that I knew would cover everything without having to throw a bra on right now. I wanted to go back as quickly as I could to make it seem like it wasn't a big deal. I mean he was a doctor right. It wasn't like he hadn't seen the female anatomy before. He had just never seen my anatomy. The 50 shades of pink weren't leaving me anytime soon. I took a few deep breaths and stepped back into the hallway and towards the doorway where Edward was still standing in shock.

" I am so sorry about that Edward. I wasn't even thinking. I had been taking a bubble b…." Edward held up his hand to stop me and took a few moments to compose himself.

"Bella, why are you apologizing to me? You didn't do anything wrong. I should have called you before I just stopped over but I realized that I didn't have your number and since I do know where you live," he gave me that small crooked smile, "I thought I would just pop in. But maybe it's not such a good time" he continued.

"No don't go. It's okay really. I mean it's not like it's something you haven't seen before right?" I said sounding hopeful.

Just then my cell phone rang. I picked it up without even looking at who was calling.

"Hello. Jacob, is that you? Hey I'm so glad you called. Yeah, I've missed you too!"

E.P.O.V.

I went to Bella's around 3:30. I was hoping that she would be up so that I could explain to her how exactly she got in her apartment and then I was going to ask her if she would like to have dinner again with me tonight. I was going to work my way up to telling her about her truck.

I knocked on her door a couple of times. I should have stopped after the first time when I didn't hear anything because she may have still been asleep. But no, I went and knocked again and I heard her say she was coming. I stood there nervously when I heard a lock clicking on the other side. Did this girl not use her peep hole before just opening her door to some total stranger. This was not good, we would also have to have a talk about that.

Just then the door opened and I saw the most breath taking sight. There stood Bella in a white satin robe that just barely covered her behind. Her hair was pulled up in a messy bun on top of her head which just accentuated her neck. There were soap suds streaming down her legs and as I appraised her body I noticed that the robe was clinging to her breasts and showing off her very aroused nipples. This suddenly made me very aware that my shorts were getting tighter. I was barely able to speak at this point in time. I was able to stutter out enough words telling her that she should put something more on.

Bella got a complete look of embarrassment on her face and headed back down the hall to her bedroom. I felt terrible that I had said anything at all but there was no way I would have been able to talk to her looking like that. As it was it took all of my strength to keep from pushing her into her apartment and ravaging her on her counter. I started to imagine Bella in her bath when she walked back in wearing a hooded sweatshirt and shorts that left nothing to the imagination. God, why is this girl trying to kill me.

Then she started to apologize and I quickly had to cut her off. It was definitely not her fault that I just showed up at her door. I was just about to leave when she asked me not to go. My heart started to beat a little faster at the thought that she didn't want me to leave. Then her cell phone rang.

I listened to her say "Hello. Jacob, is that you? Hey I'm so glad you called. Yeah, I've missed you too!"

And that was it. My suspicions were confirmed. She did have a boyfriend. Damn it! I started to motion to her that I was going to leave but she grabbed my arm and dragged me into her living room and sat on her couch. I didn't want to stay now. I definitely didn't want to hear her talking to this guy and knowing that I wouldn't be able to pursue her any longer.

Then she said "This is actually not a great time Jake. Yeah work is going good so far. I've made a fool of myself a few times in front of this really cute doctor." she said smiling and winking at me. "Yeah he's cute. Okay, well give Leah my love okay. Yeah, I'll call you soon. Love you! Bye". And she ended her conversation.

There were a couple things that I thought I could take from this conversation.

1. She thought I was cute.

2. She told him to give her love to 'Leah'. Was this a sister, girlfriend, friend?

3. She loves this Jake guy.

Well fuck me! Now what do I do. So I looked at her and said "So you think I'm cute huh?"

"Yeah I guess that you can be." She said smirking at me.

"Well, I probably would have said ruggedly handsome myself. Maybe even dashing or gorgeous, but cute?" I laughed at her. I figured now was as good a time as any to start turning on the Cullen charm.

She smacked me on the arm as she brought her feet up on the couch so that her legs were in front of her and she was kind of hugging her arms around them. This was not a good position for her to sit in with those short shorts. I tried to be a gentleman and look away. It's kind of like looking at the sun, you don't want to do it for too long. If she caught me looking at her she would definitely think I was a pervert.

"So what did I do to deserve this visit?" she asked.

"Oh, yeah, I just wanted to see if you would like to ride to work with me again tonight. I'm sure that we will have to get a mechanic to look at your truck but I'm not sure if you can get it into anyone before Monday." I said sounding hopeful.

"That would be great as long as you don't mind." she smiled. "Oh, I guess I'm going to have to call Jasper and cancel this weekend."

I tried to play dumb. "What do you need to cancel?"

"He invited me to his and Alice's house for a cookout on Saturday but I don't know how I'd get there now."

"Oh, well I'm invited too and if you are okay with it you could ride with me. The only problem is I was planning to spend the night."

"That's okay. I don't have to go." she said. "I have to go do a little furniture shopping anyway this weekend. Try to make this place look a little more presentable you know."

"No, I'm sure Alice and Jasper wouldn't mind if you stayed too. They have a huge house with lots of guest rooms. I'll call Alice tonight and make sure it's okay. I'm sure she would love to have you there." I said a little too convincingly because I knew for a fact that Alice would definitely want Bella to stay the night. "In fact, why don't I take you furniture shopping on Saturday morning and then we can head to Alice and Jasper's after that? I know a few places here in the city from when I was getting my apartment ready."

"I don't know. I feel like I'm taking advantage of you with all of the help that you've been giving me lately." Bella said.

"Believe me, I wouldn't offer if I didn't want to!" I told her honestly. "Speaking of which, how would you like to have dinner with me again tonight before work?"

"Are you sure I'm not imposing?" she asked.

"Absolutely not." I told her.

I told her to be at my place at 7 pm and we would have a nice dinner before heading out to work. I also promised to be dressed this time. When I told her this she actually looked a little disappointed. Then she asked me a question that brought me back to reality.

"So Edward, how did I get up to my apartment this morning?"

B.P.O.V.

You would have just thought that I had asked him the meaning of life. All I asked was how I got into my apartment this morning.

"Well, you kind of fell asleep on our way home from the diner and I couldn't get you to wake up. You are a really sound sleeper by the way. So I picked you up out of my car and carried you up to your door except you still wouldn't wake up so I grabbed your keys from your purse and unlocked the door. Then I carried you to your bed and tucked you in and then let myself out."

"Oh." was all I could say.

"I hope you're not mad at me. I really did try to wake you up but all you did was mumble a little." he said with this little grin.

"I mumbled?" I choked out. I knew that I could talk in my sleep sometimes. My dad told me that it started after my mom died, but I never dreamed that I would do this in front of someone else. "What did I say?" I asked him.

"Well, actually you said my name."

I did what? Oh my god! Now he would definitely think I was some psycho girl that lived downstairs from him. I started to blush when all of a sudden he brought his hand up to my cheek again and started stroking my face with his thumb like he had this morning in the diner.

"I, uh, I. Oh my god I'm so embarrassed." was all I could choke out.

"Bella, don't be embarrassed. It was one of the nicest things I have ever heard. I've never heard someone dreaming about me." he smirked. If he only knew that I dreamed about him and how often I did and what I dreamt about.

I kept staring at him wanting to tell him that I knew it was crazy but I was in love with him. He suddenly brought his other hand up to my other cheek and all I could feel was this warm tingly sensation all the way from my head to my toes. He started to lean towards me and he said "Bella, don't move. I just want to try something." And he leaned in even more. I could feel my heart beating out of my chest. This had to be the most sensual thing I had ever experienced. He slowly got closer and closer until his lips just barely met mine. His lips were soft and warm and I could feel the passion radiating off of him. I wanted him more now than I had ever wanted anyone in my life.

He held me like that for just a moment and then he started to lean back. I felt his lips slipping away from mine and all of a sudden if felt like a part of me went with him. Like I wasn't whole without his lips locked to mine. I started to open my eyes and I saw him smiling at me.

"Well that was unexpected." I said. "But really, really nice."

He just smirked at me. "I have wanted to do that since the first time I saw you." And with that he got up from my couch and said "I'll see you at 7. Don't be late!" And then he left.

I definitely was going to have to go and finish that bath now!

After I got out of the tub for the second time today I got dressed in my scrubs and looked at the clock. I decided to take a little nap before going to Edward's apartment. I set the alarm for 6 pm so I could make sure that I would have enough time to put on a little makeup and do my hair a little before dinner. I laid down on my bed and curled up and had the sweetest dreams of kissing Edward.

At 7 pm on the dot I was standing in front of Edward's door. Hair and makeup done minimally but still nice and in my scrubs. I knew that we would probably have to leave for work as soon as we were done with dinner. I knocked and it seemed like he must have been waiting right by the door for me because he opened it almost immediately. I smiled at him and he waved me in the door.

"Right on time." he said.

"Always" I concurred. "So what's for dinner? Something smells wonderful!"

"I made a roast chicken with baby red potatoes and baby carrots. I hope you like it."

I looked at him astonished. "Like it, it sounds heavenly. I was kind of expecting frozen pizza or macaroni and cheese. I never knew a bachelor that could cook."

"Well, my mother taught me well. Have a seat at the table and I will bring everything in." he pointed towards his dining room table.

We sat next to each other at dinner and finished our game of 20 questions that we had started that morning at breakfast. I was amazed at the places that Edward had been to in his life. His parents had taken him to Hawaii, Mexico, Italy, France and probably a few other places that I can't even remember. I was still stuck on thinking of him in Hawaii on the beach in a pair of board shorts. I told him that I had only been out of Washington one time when my parents had taken me to Disneyland when I was like 8 years old. That was my most memorable trip ever. I still had a picture of my mom and dad and myself in front of the Magic Kingdom that a fellow tourist had taken for us with my mom's camera. I love that picture. It was one of the last ones that I had of all of us together before my mom had gotten sick.

I tried not to think of this right now though. I didn't want to have another break down in front of Edward. We finished dinner and I helped do the dishes. I wanted to do them all on my own since Edward had made dinner but he wouldn't hear of it. As I was rinsing the dishes our hands would brush against each other as I would pass him the plates and glasses. We would stop every now and then and just stare at each other. I couldn't figure out this connection that was building between us.

We finished the dishes and Edward went into his room to change into his scrubs for work. When he emerged I had to remember that I still needed to breathe. He came out without his shirt on and I could see the well developed six pack standing in front of me. I decided that Edward without a shirt on trumped the sexy smile and sex hair. God he was gorgeous. I couldn't believe that he wasn't some male model disguising as a doctor.

He gave me a crooked little grin as he saw me ogling him. "So am I still just cute or can I move up to ruggedly handsome now?" he said.

"Oh, I think we could at least say really cute!" I laughed at him.

"Bella, you're killing me here."

I just smiled and told him we needed to leave for work or we were going to be late. Although I know with the way he drives I didn't really need to worry. We got to the hospital in record time again.

"I told you we'd get here on time." Edward chuckled.

My knuckles were still white from holding on for dear life as he weaved in and out of traffic to get us here. Instead of being just on time, we were 15 minutes early. How does he drive like that and still have a license? He got out of his side of the car and walked over to mine. I was just about to open the door when he opened it for me.

"You know you really don't have to do that." I said.

"Oh yes I do." he told me. It almost looked like I offended him.

"I mean, I really like that you do it, but it isn't necessary." I tried to make him smile again.

" I know that it isn't but I enjoy it so just humor me."

We went into the hospital then to start our shift. I stopped in the lounge and dropped off my personal items and then went straight to the lab. The night was pretty uneventful. Kathy was excited to be starting her retirement but a little sad that she would be leaving the job that she has held for the last 30 years. She was well liked by everyone in the hospital and I knew that I would have some pretty big shoes to fill. She was completely taken by surprise when she and I were called down to the Emergency Room for what we thought was a blood draw on a difficult patient only to walk into the room and see balloons and streamers and a cake. The cake said 'Happy Retirement Kathy' in big lettering. The ER didn't have any patient's at that moment and most of the staff that wasn't busy with patient care had come down to give her a nice send off. She had tears streaming down her face and made sure to give everyone a nice hug and kiss on the cheek telling everyone that she would miss them.

My second night shift had come to an end and I really was starting to feel pretty comfortable in this job. I was looking forward to my new start. I made a mental note to call Jacob later and let him know how things were going. I didn't want to talk to him too much in front of Edward because I thought it would be rude. Jacob had been one of my best friends growing up and he and his wife Leah were expecting their second child. I hadn't seen either one of them in a while since I try not to go back to Forks unless I absolutely need to. There were just too many memories to think about back there.

Now I would have to start making new memories here in Seattle. I would start with the most important one. Edward!

Well, there it is Chapter 6 and the first little kiss. I promise that there will be many more to come! Chapter 7 should include at least the first part of the cookout.

Please, Please, Please make sure to review! I have had almost 700 hits which is totally and completely awesome but only 29 reviews! I really do appreciate everyone who has taken the time to say something nice! It really makes my day!

Thank you!
