Chapter 2: Hanging Out(BPOV):

I woke up this morning, ready to see Edward and the guys today and just chill out in the room. I think we are just going to watch movies and listen to music, but I'm not so sure. When we got up and got dressed, Alice, Rose, and I headed up to the guys' dorm room.

When we got to the room, Edward opened the door almost immediately. I couldn't keep the smile off of my face but quickly composed myself before the girls noticed it.

"Hey Bella, can I talk to you privately for a bit? I don't think they will notice if we are gone for a bit… they are too busy making out to notice anything," Edward said with a chuckle

"Yeah, sure babe. Hold on, let me tell the girls that I'm going back to the room for a bit, so they really don't suspect anything, okay?" I told him.

"Yeah, sure."

"Hey, Rose, Alice, I left something in the room, I'll be right back okay?" I yelled so the girls could hear

"Okay," Rose shouted back, not really paying attention. She was too preoccupied with Emmett.

"Okay, let's go."

*In the girls dorm room*

"So what did you want to talk to me about babe?" I asked, extremely curious

"Oh noting, I just wanted to be with you privately so I could do this," Edward said then leaned down to kiss me.

As he kept kissing me, I could feel the passion rising between us and that old connection that I missed so much. It's hard to believe that I finally have that back in my grasps! I'm so happy with the way that school is going so far, and classes haven't even started yet! If life was this good now, there was no way in hell that it could get worse, it was only going to get better! Or, at least I hoped so anyway!

When we finally pulled apart for air, we both had the biggest smiles on our faces that if we went back to Edward's room in this instant, there would be no way in hell that we could deny that we were together, so we had to do something, and fast! So I slapped him and made it look like we had been fighting, but he just started laughing so hard he almost couldn't breathe. So we continued yelling at each other to make it seem like we were fighting, in case some of the gang just happened to walk by the room and overhear us. About thirty minutes later we had composed ourselves enough to head back to the guys' dorm room.

When we walked into the boys' dorm room, everyone was staring, as if they expected us to come back holding hands and kissing or something. I mean, come on, what are we, crazy or something?

So once everyone stopped staring and gawking, we came in and sat down on the floor in front of the couch, where the rest of the gang was sitting. We were about to watch a movie and I wasn't quite sure what it was, so I leaned back to ask Ali what we were supposed to be watching and she just told me to be quiet and be surprised.

As the movie started coming on, I started to recognize what exactly we were watching. It was one of my favourite movies of all time: Maid in Manhattan.

We were just getting to the part where Jennifer Lopez's character was telling the senator that she was just a maid at the hotel, and not some rich women that lived in the hotel, when Edward leaned down and whispered in my ear, "What do you say we get out of here love?"

"I would love to do nothing more than that baby, but the gang is already suspicious of us, and I don't want to risk them finding out about us until we are ready to tell them about us this time. Do you understand?"

"Yeah, of course love," He said, with a warm smile

"Ok baby, I love you."

"I love you too, my Bella"

So we continued to finish watching the movie, and by the time that we reached the end of the movie, all of us girls were balling our eyes out because we were so happy that the main girl got her man in the end, and that they lived happily ever after. I wish all stories ended in happily ever after, so that no girl ever has to go through all the shit that I went through when Edward and his family left. I would never wish that horrible pain on anyone, because I know how it feels and it's hard to recover from. It's the kind of pain that splits your heart in two, and the only person who has the power to stitch it back up is the person who broke it.

After the movie was over, the six of us just sat around and talked for what felt like hours upon hours, and I thoroughly enjoyed it, much to my surprise. We talked about childhood memories that were shared between the six of us as we were growing up, the two or three of the many family vacations that were embarked upon between our two families, the many pranks pulled on each other throughout the years of childhood and teenage years, how we all missed each other for any amount of time when the six of us would be separated and how we were glad to all be attending the same college together for the next four years. Alice even brought over old photo albums of the six of us as kids and throughout the years of growing up together. Throughout this long walk down memory lane, there were laughs and tears and even comments like "Holy shit! That was us?"(Em), "Wow, look at how different we all looked!"(Ali), "Wow, we've all changed so much over the last eighteen years!"(Me and Edward), "God, I looked rough!"(Rose), and "Wow, look at how happy and peaceful we were there."(Jazz). God, I love these people so much, I haven't stopped smiling in the last twenty four hours.

After we were done looking at pictures and talking about our childhood, we started talking about which classes we all had to take this year and what we were all majoring in. To my surprise, I actually had quite a few classes with my amazing boyfriend, and about two with Alice, and one class with all five of my friends. So far this is looking out to be a great year, and classes haven't even started yet!

I couldn't believe my ears when I heard what Edward was majoring in. Pre-Med! And he was going to med school when we graduated from UWS in four years to major in Paediatric Medicine. I was majoring in Pre-Med also, but was planning to go to med school after graduating be an OB/GYN and a NICU doctor. And I was getting my minor degree in Writing/Journalism and Photography. Edward was getting his minor in music, of course! That guy is absolutely crazy about music, so that didn't surprise me. And his father is an ER doctor, so Edward being on the med school road didn't surprise me, either. But I was happy that I would have someone to go through the hell that'll be my life over the next four years.

So when Jasper told me that he was going to be majoring in History, with a concentration in the Civil War area, and his minor was Writing/Journalism and that he had plans to one day be a history professor, in either high school or a university, and to one day write a book on the American Civil War, I wasn't surprised either, because he loved that kind of stuff when we were in middle and high school. I was happy for him and glad that he was going to be doing stuff that he liked.

Emmett was majoring in Sports Medicine, of course, and was there on a football scholarship, which we all knew was coming, because, let's be honest here, Em has always been the sportiest of us! Hell, he plays almost every freaking sport in the book for crying out loud!

Ali was going to be a Fashion major, which was the most obvious. I know it's going to be a fun four years for her, because when we were kids she always loved to put outfits on together for me and pick out my clothes, and dress me up for everything! She even designed a wedding dress for me when she thought Edward was going propose at senior prom, before they moved away at the beginning of our senior year. So, of course I knew that Ali would be a fashion designer, and a damn good one at that!

And finally, Rosalie was going to major in engineering and become a mechanic, she even has plans to one day hopefully become successful enough to open up her own shop.

I was so happy that my friends got to come back home, and that we get to be together for the next four years. It was also nice to know that we were all going to try and pursue the careers that we'd all dreamed of having when we were younger.

After that, we watched more movies, including some of the Harry Potter movies and Monster-In-Law. We ate junk food and drank soda and sweet tea all night long, we laughed and cried all night, and I have to say, it was probably the second best night of my life so far. The night Edward had first kissed me when we were fourteen stood solidly on the top of that list.

After the movies were over, we listened to music and talked the rest of the night until we fell asleep, sprawled out on top of each other on the boys' living room floor. When we woke up this morning, we were all cramped up and had sore backs from sleeping on the hard floor all night and had to stretch to make our backs stop hurting, but we were all laughing and smiling at what had happened last night.

About thirty minutes later, the girls and I were getting ready to leave, we were going shopping this afternoon and Ali wanted to go to the room and change before we left.

"Hey B, are you ready to go yet?" Alice asked.

"Yeah, give me just a minute Ali and we can leave. I left something in Edward's room yesterday afternoon when we first got here. Let me go and get that and then we can go, okay?"

"Okay Bella, just don't take long!"

I go into Edward's room to find him standing there with nothing but a towel covering his lower half, and I couldn't help but stare at his gorgeous body. He turned around and looked at me and smirked, he knew I had been looking at him.

"Like what you see?" Edward asked, a smug smile on his face

"I sure do, and it's all mine too" I said.

"Yes it is. So what are you and the girls doing today sweetie?"

"Oh you know, just the usual Alice thing to do before school starts, go shopping for school wardrobe and getting stuff for our dorm, you know. What about you? What are you, Em, and Jazz doing today?"

"We are going shopping to get the stuff we need for our dorm and then we're going out for lunch."

"Well that sounds fun. I hope you have a good day baby! Oh, do you have your textbooks yet? If not then I will get them when I get mine today if you want me too."

"Yeah that sounds great, thanks Bella."

"You're welcome. Well I have to get going before Alice has another freak-out attack on me. I love you Edward!"

"I love you too Bella, forever and always. I'll see you when you get home, okay?"

"Okay baby."

After we said goodbye, he leaned down and kissed me passionately before I walked out of the door.

"Okay Ali, let's go!"

After that, Alice, Rose, and I walked out of the door and headed toward Rose's red Convertible BMW and headed off to the mall for a day of shopping and torture on my part.

Alice and Rose dragged me around to all these different shops top get me a new wardrobe for school, and dates, and then we headed off to the one store that I was dreading going to the most, but I know that I desperately need to go there though. Victoria's Secret. And then when we got into the store, Ali dragged me straight to the intimates section for new lace panties and bras and other stuff like that. Then Alice found this really adorable baby doll thing that was light blue, and a really sexy corset that was midnight blue and I fell in love with them both almost instantly! My mind instantly flashed to what Edward would think if he saw me in them and I ended up buying them both, along with a matching bra/panty set that Ali picked out for me that was black satin with red lace around the edges, and a bra/boy briefs set that was black lace with red lace trimmings, a bra and thong set that was black lace with a baby pink lace trimming that Rose picked out for me, a light pink lace bra with lime green lace around the edges that I picked out for myself and a bunch of other stuff that the girls and I picked out.

Let's just say that by the end of the shopping part of the day, I had purchased more bras and panties than I had in my entire life.

By the time that we were headed to the furniture stores to get the stuff to decorate our common area in our dorm, and our individual rooms, I didn't think that we would have any room to put anything else in Rose's car. While we were at the housing/interior decorating stores, we got a lot of stuff to decorate our rooms and make them more us and I was happy with our purchases, and couldn't wait to start decorating the dorm when we got home.

After we went to the decorating stores, we headed to the book stores to get mine and Edward's books, and then we headed back to campus.

It had been a long day and I couldn't wait to get home and rest. So after we got back to campus and got everything up to the dorm, and had sorted out to what belonged to whom and I got all my stuff put away, I took myself a little cat nap.

After I woke up from my little cat nap, I saw that my iPhone was lit up and that I had a new message from someone and looked at who it was from. Unsurprisingly, it was from Edward, and it said:

'Hey, love. When you get home from your shopping trip, come on over to the dorm and dress nicely. It'll be just you and I for the rest of the night. Jazz and Em are taking Ali and Rose out to a nice dinner then they're going to stay the night at a nice hotel and won't be back until around noon tomorrow. I look forward to seeing you in a little while. I love you – Edward.'

Aw! My boyfriend was so sweet! I couldn't wait to see him tonight!

So I went and took a quick shower and wash my hair. Then I dried my hair and curled it into loose ringlets and then put on light makeup. After that, I put on a stunning midnight blue halter top evening gown that cut all the way down to my bellybutton and showed off my breasts wonderfully. I was wearing silver pumps and a diamond necklace, bracelet, and earring set that Alice got me for my birthday a few years ago with it. Once I felt ready to leave, I turned around to check that I looked alright in my full length mirror. The second I saw myself, my jaw dropped. I could barely recognise myself.

Once I had decided everything looked perfect, I sent a text message to Edward and said:

'Hey babe, just got dressed and I'm about to walk out the door and heading that way. See you in a few minutes. Love you.'

And he sent back:

'Okay baby, I'm looking forward to seeing you. See you in a few minutes. Love you too beautiful.'

So I headed down to Edward's dorm and was met at the door by Edward, who was wearing a tux and looked incredibly handsome. He lead me into his nicely decorated room. It had changed so much in the past couple of hours, the guys really had brought a load of stuff to make it their own, and I must admit that it looks pretty nice to have been decorated by three nineteen year old guys.

"So love, are you ready to go?" Edward asked me with a mischievous smile on his face.

"Where are we going, Edward? I thought that we were having a nice romantic dinner here at the dorm?" I asked Edward in confusion.

"That was what you were supposed to think. We are going out for dinner, somewhere special obviously, but then we are coming back here and having a nice intimate night here in the dorm," Edward replied.

"Oh," was my brilliant response to that.

And he took my hand and led me to the door and down the elevator to the Quad outside of the student parking lot. When we got outside, I was surprised at what I saw.

I stood staring open-mouthed at what was sitting in front of me in the driveway, he didn't?

"Your carriage awaits, my queen," Edward told me as he extended his arm toward the long, white stretch limousine I was currently gaping at. He did!

"Is this for us, Edward?" I asked him as he led us to the limo.

"Yes it is, love. Do you like it?" He asked me as we neared the limo.

"Like it? I love it! Thank you for going to all the trouble of doing this for us, Edward. It really means a lot to me that you would do this," I told him as we got closer to the limo.

"It was no trouble at all, honestly. I wanted to do all of this for you. You deserve nothing but the best and I'm sorry that it took me this long to realize that," He told me apologetically.

"It's okay, Edward. We all make mistakes," I assured him, a warm smile on my face.

"Okay, so enough with the heavy, let's go have fun on our first real date since being back together," Edward declared as we entered the limo and made our way to wherever we were headed.

"Edward... where are we going?" I asked him a while later.

"It's a surprise Bella. Oh, and I'm going to need you to put this on in a little while," He told me as he handed me a blindfold.
