Alright guys, I'm sort of working on another story right now. && I want to get a lot of it done before I start posting it online. So it might take a few days. But I'm going out of town and bringing my laptop with me, so hopefully I can get a lot done on the tedious car ride. : )

I was freaking out. My boss just kissed me. What was I going to do? I was a mess and I knew Edward couldn't see me like this. I needed someone to talk to. Fearing Edward might be at Alice's house, I couldn't possibly go there. I decided against my better judgment to go to my parents house. When the taxi pulled up to my old house, I immediately regretted it. I didn't think my mom would give me any good advice. She would most likely just tell me to quit before I'd even started working. I shrugged off the thought and gave my mom a chance. I ringed the doorbell and not bothering to wait for someone to answer it, I walked in.
"Mom?!" I yelled.
"In here sweetie!" She yelled back from the living room. I walked down the hall and into where she was. I must have looked like a mess because as soon as she saw me, she ran up to me and hugged me. "What is it? What happened?" She asked. We sat down and I told her everything that happened with Jacob. To my surprise, she didn't jump to give me advice. She simply asked what I wanted to do about it.
"I don't know," I told her. "I mean, this job is a great opportunity. Not many kids freshly out of college could get something that fast. And I can handle him if he gets like that again, I think. But I don't know what I should do about Edward. I mean did I cheat on him, cause I technically kissed Jacob back. But Edward and I aren't girlfriend and boyfriend official yet. Oh mom, I just don't know what to do." I exclaimed and fell into her arms.
"Shh. It'll all work out. I promise. For now, why don't you go lay up in your old room and I'll bring you some hot chocolate. How does that sound?"
"Thanks mom," I said glumly. I slumped upstairs and into my room. I laid down on my bed and I fell asleep instantly.
The next morning I woke up to a soft hand rubbing my forehead. I opened my eyes to find Alice watching me intently. At the end of my bed stood Rosalie, she looked gorgeous as ever.
"Morning babe. Your mom called us over this morning. Said you should talk to us about something. But she said it was up to you. I don't know, it was weird. Your mom's pretty cool now."
"She is, huh," I said, and she really was. It looked like she changed in the time that I was absent from her life. I was proud of her though. I told Alice and Rose the whole story about Jacob. They both told me to quit and that I didn't need any of his crap, but I still didn't know what to do. After a few hours of girl talk, I decided I needed to get out and be independent. Since I'd been back home, I wasn't ever able to go places. I didn't want to shop, so I couldn't bring Alice, and I didn't want to have to talk. I just wanted to be able to let my thoughts roam. So I decided to go on a walk down town by myself.
I never really took notice on how amazing and diverse L.A. was. As I walked, I saw street performers, artists painting pictures of the scenery and guys selling cheap knockoff purses. As I walked, I thought. After walking around for a few hours, I went back to my apartment with a new skirt, a fake Gucci purse and a decision. I was not going to quit my job, and I was definitely not going to tell Edward what happened. It wasn't like I really cheated on him because we weren't really going out. And it wasn't going to happen again, so why bother? Plus, Edward would just get too over protective and boyfriend-y. So I decided to keep it to myself, and Alice, Rose and my mom.
Around 7:30 that night I got a knock on my door. It was Edward.
"Please follow me," he said and wrapped a handkerchief around my eyes.
"Um, where are we going?" I asked as he led me with his hands.
"It's a surprise, silly," he said. I could tell we were in the elevator by the music and the noise the buttons made. Edward walked me toward a door and led me up the stairs. He was very cautious not to let me fall.
"Where the hell are we?" I asked as Edward opened up another door at the top of the stairs and I was hit with the dry heat of L.A. Edward took off my blind fold and I saw where we were. We were on the roof of our apartment building. Edward had a table and two chairs set up with a candle in the middle. I could hear the bustle of people on the sidewalk and the swerving and honking of cars on the streets. But on the roof, it felt like we could have been the only two people left on the Earth. It was a great feeling. I suddenly felt guilty for not telling Edward about Jacob, but I quickly put the thought in the back of my mind and enjoyed my night with Edward. We talked and talked. By the end of our date, it was past midnight.
"Bella," Edward started, holding both my hands in his. "I think I could be falling in love with you."
"Edward, I don't know what to say. I mean obviously I feel the same way," it was true, I really did feel like I was falling in love. But there was no way I could say that I love him yet. But I could, in the near future.
"Bella, I want you to be my girlfriend," he stated. "Will you?" I didn't know what would be a good answer. Instead of saying anything and choking up because I was now crying lightly, I just nodded. Edward pulled me in for a kiss. The kiss then escalated and we got lost in each other. Edward led me to his apartment and into his bedroom. It was then that we first had sex, and it was wonderful.
Okay, okay. Super cheesy, I know. My cousin is probably going to kill me for that. But yeahhh. && btw, my new story is most likely going to be called The Womanizer. So check in to see when I upload it. Thanks!
