After Glow

Bpov

I knew we had to get up soon. While having sex with your customers wasn't against the rules, it would still be really embarrassing if we were found like this. Opening my eyes I let a sigh escape me. Edward's fingers paused and I took that opportunity to get off of him and stand up. I looked down at him and got aroused all over again. Completely naked except for his socks and lounging on my bed was the most gorgeous man I had ever seen. His green eyes were blazing with his lids down low. His legs were spread comfortably with his replete sex covered in a mix of our juices. He looked completely sated, and completely edible.

I looked away quickly. We had already been in here longer than a normal session and he had been my last customer, so I should be going home. That was until I remembered that his friends were all standing outside. I got a devious smirk on my face as I thought of a plan that would redeem poor Edward Cullen and make him blush, which I wouldn't mind seeing again. Unfortunately he saw my expression and became curious.

"What are you thinking?" He asked softly.

"I'm thinking that we need to get dressed and talk to your friends," I chuckled.

He paled considerably when I mentioned his friends and their current position outside the shop.

"Oh, I totally forgot!" He sat up quickly and hastened to get into his clothes.

I quickly put mine on and then went into the mud room that was attached to my room. I used it to store all my linens toys and cleaning supplies. Plus it housed the washing machines and the sink, all done up in verrying shades of blue. I looked into the mirror above the sink and proceeded to fix my makeup. My hair I left alone so that it stayed looking like a tousled, sex hair mess.

When I walked back into my room, Edward was dressed and ready, only looking slightly nervous.

"Are you ready for this?" I asked, having second thoughts about putting my devious plan into action now that I saw how uncomfortable he was.

But after a moment he seemed to take a deep breath and shore up his courage before smiling brightly and answering yes. I grabbed my purse and my keys and walked out the door, looking back to see if he was following. He was with a slight smile on his beautiful face. When we got to the reception area, I turned to tell Stacy that I was leaving for the day only to see that she was gaping at me. I blushed at her inquiring look when she finally closed her mouth and nodded my head. Her eyes widened but she said nothing and smiled in congratulations. Stacy and I always had the silent communication thing down and she knew I had gotten laid today. I was just glad she approved.

I continued walking out of the store with Edward still trailing behind me and into the brightest sunshine I had ever seen in Forks. I turned to ask Edward where his friends were, but the sight before me stunned me speechless. Edward's bronze hair glittered and shone in the direct sunlight. The vibrant color bringing out his viridian eyes and pale skin, making him seem more ethereal than a real one thought ran through my head. This is who I've been waiting for!

All the strange feelings today, not being able to leave this god forsaken town. All of it had been something telling me to wait for him. I thanked every being I could think of for making this God of a man show up at my door today. After getting over my shock I realized that Edward was talking.

"..right over there," He pointed in the general direction of the side of Relief.

"Huh?" I mumbled rather unintelligently.

He looked at me with amusement shining in his eyes. " I said, my friends are right over there behind Relief."

"Oh, Well then lets go!" I replied, shaking the fog from my brain. As we walked something occured to me." Hey Edward, you never told me, but how old are you?"

He seemed suprised at the question. " Doesn't it say on my information that I gave to the receptionist?" He asked confused.

" No," I replied honestly, still walking." We only get the name and basic information like std's and things like that. Age has never been put on there. The only reason they even ask is to verify that you're over 18."

"Oh, well, I'm 19 just so you know. How old are you?" He wondered curiosly.

"23," I replied. Wow, I was older than him! Then again, I think I knew that already I guess it just hadn't sunk in yet.

We finally rounded the corner of the building and I saw a couple of college aged people standing around talking. I could hear a girl with a very obnoxious voice and brown frizzy hair telling another guy with blonde hair what she would do to his man parts if he went into Relief after Edward.

" But come on Jessica! He's been in there for close to 3 hours!" He complained worriedly." It doesn't take that long for an old fashioned! He should be out by now!"

The girl named Jessica didn't seem convinced and glared at the blonde spitefully. Her eyes swung to the side to look at a black guy standing with them and that's when she spotted Edward and I. Her eyes widened and a simpering look came to her face as she looked at him, I found that I immediately disliked her in that instant. Could I be jealous? After only knowing him for a couple of hours I was already possessive! Get a hold of yourself Bella! I pushed the jealosy down as the girl spoke again.

" Eddie! Where have you been? We've been waiting here for hours!" She simpered and batted her eyelashes as we came closer to the group. I could see what Edward meant about not being around many decent girls.

When the guys turned to see what Jessica was looking at they saw me and you could see the instant lust in their eyes. I heard Edward growl possessively behind me. Well, at least I'm not the only one I thought cheerily! Edward sped up to walk beside me and took my hand in his. I felt that electricity spark between our clasped hands and couldn't help but feel happy at the large, warm hand enclosing mine. I could get used to being Edward's girlfriend if it meant more of this feeling.

Finally reaching the group ,who's eyes had dropped to our clasped hands, Edward answered Jessica politely.

"I was inside of course. I only took a little longer then planned," He blushed slightly as he said this. "Ummm Bella, this is Tyler, Mike, and Jessica." He said pointing to the person who went with the name. " Guys, this is Isabella, or just Bella. She's was the one who 'helped' me." He stated sheepishly.

Their eyes widened as they looked at me. I smirked and waved my fingers at them. Time to put my plan into action.

"So Edward told me all about your little bet," I said in a sultry voice. "I just had to come out here and thank the people who brought this little gem to me!" Well it wasn't really a lie! "Well," I shrugged. "Not quite so little after all." I smirked.

Edward was staring at me open mouthed and blushing like crazy. Tyler and Mike lokked about ready to pounce on me and Jessica was giving me the evil eye. I laughed internally at her pathetic glaring. She just couldn't compare to one of Rosalie's Ice Queen glares. They seem to freeze you in place as her eyes promise pain. Lots of pain. So Jessica's littlepouty face didn't even faze me. This scene was just so funny I had to go on.

"I plan on keeping him for quite a while actually. I would never let go of such a delicious treat without a fight," I said whilst licking my lips sensously and staring straight at Edward's pants which were now bulging slightly from my little show.

I winked to his gaping friends then dug in my purse for my card and handed it to a still blushing Edward . "Call me," I said turning and walking to my car in the front of the store. As I turned the corner I couldn't help but laugh at the scene I had left behind and as I got in my car I could hear Mike say, "Dude, you have got to give me all the details." I smiled and started my car, driving back to my apartment with full confidence that Edward would call me and that it would be soon.

The call came three days later. Bella had been waiting anxiously ever since that day for Edward to call, hoping she handn't been too forward as to scrae him off. He was just sooo young! He might not be able to handle the kind of adult relationship she wanted from him. Just as she would convince herself she would refuse any further contact for his sake, her cell would ring and she'd be dashing to get it only to be dissapointed when it was someone else. He seemed smart, she would tell herself and then she'd start all over again. She had gone to work, as usual, hoping to see him there, but he never showed.

Today was Friday and she was about to give up hope when her ringtone sounded out in her lonely apartment. She scrambled to get it as Dueces by Chris Brown and Ne-Yo played loudly. Jumping over the back of her couch to reach the coffee table she picked up the phone with a breathless, "Hello?"

"H-hh-hi! It's E-E-Edward. I don't know if you remember me. We met at your job, and I just wanted to give you a call cause I thought you were beautiful and I hoped to see all of you.. ah more of you!.. gahh see you again." Edward stuttered and stammered out. "Oh god, just kill me now!" He moaned out.

Bella felt her heart warm at his utterly cute and obvious nervousness. He had called! He had called her! Victory dance! She started to gyrate and move her free arm in a circle in a little victory dance, while holding her phone to her ear in the other.

"...understand if you never want to see me again. Sorry. Bye."

Having missed the last of Edward's speech during her little dance session, Bella quickly yelled, "Wait! What? I'm sorry, I wasn't paying attention! Please don't hang up! I do want to see you again! Very much! I've been waiting for you to call for the last three days!" She blurted out, blushing when she realized what she had said.

There was silence for a moment and then Edward's small voice, "Really? You were waiting for me to call you?" He sounded incredulous, and her blush deepened.

"Well, yeah." She said nervously, biting her lip. " I mean I really wanted to see you again, and I was hoping you'd call. I was afraid I had scared you off with my forwardness." Bella stated honestly.

"Wow," Edward breathed out, "I'm sorry I took so long to call, but I was nervous that you weren't actually serious when you said you wanted to go out. And, Jesus, how could you scare me off with that? It was fricken sexy as hell!" Edward muttered.

Bella beamed and decided to cut the akward tension. " So you called?" She asked innocently.

"Ummmm, yeah, I was wondering if... you know...we could go out on a date or something." Edward said nervously. Bella thought it was the most adorable thing ever, but couldn't understand why he was nervous. She doubted he'd ever been refused for a date before, by any girl. Not with that face and body. He was like a teenaged Adonis. That thought just reminded her that she was four years older than him. Yeah that would probably be the cause behind the nerves.

"Sure!" She said brightly to reassure him. "When is good for you, and where do you want to go?" She asked curiously.

He replied easily, seeming much more confident now that she had agreed. "Ummm, how about tomorrow night, and dinner and a movie?"

"Hahahaha! A bit cliched Mr. Cullen, but sure. I'd love to!"

"Okay, I'll pick you up a six. Just casual wear."

"Alright, see you then. I'm looking forward to it!" Bella exclaimed brightly.

"Me too," He said.

She gave him the directions to her apartment and ended the call with a grin on her face. The date was set!

Calling Bella was probably one of the hardest things I had ever had to do in my life. I was so nervous and completely strung out. What if she didn't mean it? I mean, she's a Goddess of Beauty and Pleasure. What could she possibly see in a barely intitiated, sex crazed teenager four years her junior? I mean I knew I wasn't bad looking, and I had money, but she didn't know that. Other than those two things, I just can't imagine why she would be drawn to me.

I told my brother Emmett and my best friend Jasper about the dare and the aftermath, and to say they were shocked would be the understatement of the century! They couldn't believe their little Virigin Eddiekins came out of his shell enough to get laid! I was patted on the back and congratulated by both of them. When I told them about Bella herself, and how she gave me her number, they couldn't belive how lucky I was and Jasper urged me to call her right away. I was going to, but then Emmett said that would make me seem desperate to just get laid again and that if I wanted to keep her, I had to obey he three day law.

I could not call her back for three whole excruciatingly long days. When I culd finally call her, the nerves came back and I could just imagine her ejecting me outright. So when she picked up the phone and said 'Hello' in the most husky, breathless voice I had ever heard, I stuttered and stammered my way through the greeting I had thought of all day long.

There was silence for so long I thought she didn't want to see me again and my heart plummetted to somewhere down in my feet. It was okay though, because it flew with what she said next. She had been waiting for my call? All this time? I then resolved to never listen to Emmett on relationship advice ever again. A thing I should have known when thinking about his track record with women.

After a rather akward and hurried conversation, we had an outing planned for tomorrow night and I knew just where I would take her. The date was set!
