Bella had a point, she didn't know much about me but she had to see that I meant her no harm. We got out of the car and I carried all of her things in for her, into my room. The only other room I had other than mine was my office and it wasn't fit for living quiet yet.

"Bella you can sleep in my room for now, until I clear out my office. I'll try to get you a bed this weekend." I told her.

"No Edward I can sleep on the couch, you don't need to go through all this trouble."

I gave a look that told her to just humor me, and she did. This girl act as if no one had ever given her anything and when they did she would try to find a way to deny it in some way.

"Ok, I'll sleep in the bed but you have to as well. I just can't allow you to give up your bed to me once again."

"Bella?" I look at her as if she was crazy. Did she not see how I looked at her sometimes? This was not going to work.

"Edward! It's either that or I sleep on the couch"

"Ok, we will sleep on the bed until I find you a bed."

This was going to be hard for me. Being in the same room with her was hard enough but sleeping in the same room, I was going to have to find some restraint or find a bed fast.

"Are you hungry" I asked.

"Yes, but would it be alright if I cooked us diner, my way of kind of paying for my stay" she said.

"Sure the kitchen is all yours. I'll just be in the living room watching TV."

While I was watching TV my cell phone started to ring. When I looked at the display I noticed that it was my mother so I answered being that I hadn't talked to her in a few days.

"Hello mother, how are you."

"Just fine son, haven't heard from you in a few days is everything ok."

"Yes ma, every things just fine. I've just been working."

Then Bella called my name from the Kitchen.

"Edward can I use your car, there's one more ingredient I need for the mushroom ravioli?"

"Sure, be careful" I told her.

"Edward? Who was that speaking?" my mother asked.

"Hey mom I have to go I have a lot to do, talk to you later."

"Edward Anthony Culle…" she said as I push the end button.

How in the hell am I going to explain this to her.

Bella returned about twenty minutes later telling me that the food would be done soon. Whatever that girl was cooking smelled great. I couldn't wait to try it. I went back to watching TV and trying to think about what I was going to tell my mother when Bella called my name.

"Edward the food is ready"

I got up and helped her carry the food in to the dining area. There was Italian bread, salad and the most delicious look mushroom ravioli that I had ever seen. We sat down and dug in and it tasted as good as it looked.

"Edward, I just want to thank you for all that you have done for me, the night you met me you could have taken me to jail but somehow you saw the good in me and I thank you for that as well. I honestly don't know where I would be or what I would be doing if it wasn't for you."

Bella was an amazingly sweet young woman; I was noticing just how amazing and strong she was everyday that I interacted with her. I was very attracted to her and that would make living with her harder. I didn't want her to think I was taking advantage of her and what would people think if they knew that I was now pining for an eighteen year girl.

"It wasn't a problem Bella and I honestly believe that you would have been strong enough to get yourself out of that situation," I told her. She was smart, for the life of me I couldn't understand way bad thing always happened to good people.

"I'll help you clear the dishes," I said.

"No… I got it…please go do whatever you need to," she stuttered

"Well i'll be in the shower, if you need anything… just let me know," said with sincerity.

"Will do Edward," she smiled.

While in the shower, it took everything in me not to think about the way she had said my name. Man this girl was going to be the death of me. I was even more aroused with the thought of us being in the same bed.

"Shut up dude, she has been through a lot this is not the time to be a perv," my conscience screamed. This was going to be a long night.

Once out of the shower I changed into flannel pajama pants and a tee-shirt. I walked in the living room in search of Bella and I notice her sitting on the couch. She was staring into space, not even noticing when I walk in. I stood against the wall for a while and just watched her. What was she thinking about. I shuffled my feet and the wooden floor creaked and that's when she noticed me standing there. I'm such i'm weirdo.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you. Are you ok? You seem like you have a lot on your mind." I couldn't help but worry about her.

"I'm fine, I just have a lot to take in," she said. "My life has changed in a matter of day and my mind is just trying to catch up."

"That good, maybe a good long shower will help your mind catch up faster," I joked to ease her sad mood," The bathroom is all yours I smiled and she smile back as she walked toward my room were her clothes were. "Just let me know when your dress, so I can get to bed," I smiled again. "I kind of have work in the morning so I have to get some sleep."

"Ok" she said as another smile spread across her face and it was beautiful.
