Hello, you lovely lot. Myself and Mi had a little chat yesterday about the requests I've been getting for writing chapters in different POV's. Edward is a popular choice.

When I wrote this, I decided on just the first chapter being EPOV. However, I want to try something, and I'm actually really excited about this!

I will randomly choose someone from the reviews that I receive for this chapter! It might be easier and at least you all get a shot! (This will close after 3 days... Then I'll choose and start writing!)

They will get to choose a chapter that they'd like to read from EPOV. I will then post it separately to this story. So you can choose whether to read it or not.

If this works, I'll consider doing it again.

Oh! I try to reply to EVERYONE who reviews, at least once! If I miss you, I'm so sorry but I literally dip in.. Do a few and then get back to writing. I LOVE you all and your reviews are all fantastic. I appreciate ALL of them.

Thanks Mi. Thanks you.

Twilight isn't mine.


I wake up late, the mid morning sun is shining right in my face. I squint around my room in confusion and realise that I must've forgotten to close the drapes. I pull my body out from under the covers and swing myself around to get up. My whole body feels like it's made from rocks, everything aches and I want to crawl back under my covers, but I can't.

Today is the day that I go to dinner at my boss's house, with his son, who I've got some kind of sexual agreement with. To say I'm nervous, is a terrible understatement. Rose watches in amusement as I pace our apartment and nibble at my nails.

I can't even consider eating breakfast or lunch, but end up snacking on fruit at Rose's adamance. She leaves early afternoon and wishes me luck before she goes. I notice her pause at the door, before she shakes her head and disappears. I think she knows there just isn't anything that she can say to help.

I spend a long time in the shower, I shave everywhere and scub my body. It takes my mind off of the impending, for a little while. I dress as slowly as I can. I choose a pretty dress, which is just right for dinner with my boss, according to Rose. I leave my hair down and apply a bit of make up. I glance at the clock when I'm finished, which says it's only six. Edward is coming at six thirty to collect me. I have ages.

I don't want to sit and wrinkle my dress but I can't stand anymore. I decide to perch on one of the stools in the kitchen, awkwardly.

At precisely five minutes early, there's a knock on the door. I fling the door open and grin up at Edward. He's dressed in black suit pants and a shirt. No tie. I sigh as I look at him, it's a mix of relief and admiration. He smirks as he walks past me.

"You look nice too, Bella."

I frown as I take in the arrogance that's literally, rolling off him in waves. What is his problem?

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah, why wouldn't I be?" He looks at me for a second, in confusion, before his face softens and I recognise the Edward that I've come to know.

I walk over to him feeling relieved and he pulls me closer, our lips meet and it's slow and painfully arousing. I push my self against him and he responds by putting his hands under my ass and picking me up. I wrap my legs around him and just as I do I can feel him, right there. Pushing against me. I moan into his mouth as we carry on kissing. He turns us round and pushes me against the wall.

"We have to go." I mumble against his lips. I don't want to stop this amazing make out session but I don't want to be late.

He groans but releases my bottom lip from his teeth and pulls back before putting me back onto the floor, he holds me steady for a moment, while my legs recover.

"I don't know how I manage to ever stop."

His eyes are dark as he looks down at me, his hand on my face.

I feel my heart pounding in my chest and I silently agree with him.

He walks me down, carefully to his amazing car and he drives us the twenty minute drive to his Fathers house. It's a huge, beautiful house at the edge of the city. It looks like some kind of architectural dream. There's a lot of glass and I can see why, the views are amazing. He drives us up to the circular drive and parks, right in front of the house.

The house keeper lets us in, Edward embraces her warmly. The old lady tuts as she touches the fine stubble on his chin.

"Oh Edward, you should've shaved."

He laughs and pats her hand. It's a sweet moment, I realise that this must be the same house keeper that raised him. She turns to me, her eyes appraising, making my cheeks flush.

"Who's this beautiful young lady?"

"I'm Bella, it's lovely to meet you." I extend my hand, but she pulls me into a warm hug.

"It's lovely to meet you Bella, I've heard a lot about you! I'm Mrs Cope, or Charlotte. Whichever you prefer."

She takes us through to the family room where Mr Masen is sitting, smoking a cigar. The smell transports me back to when I was small and Charlie would have his friends round to watch the games. They'd all sit there smoking cigars and drinking beers.

He stands to greet us and I exchange pleasantries with him. Edward shakes his father's hand.

"My wife will be through shortly. She's just got back in, she owns a shop in Seattle and she had to go in and help with some issue."

Edward laughs softly under his breath and I look at him questioningly. He just waves his hand infront of his face while his father is busy looking away.

"So Bella, it's been a very busy and productive week. How are you enjoying the organised chaos?"

"Oh, I'm so thankful for the opportunity, it's been amazing. It's been very busy, but I've learnt so much in the short week that I've been there. Victoria is fantastic at what she does. It's such an experience to watch her work." I gush, I can't help it.

He smiles back at me, mirroring my passion, his eyes twinkle and I can appreciate how good looking this man is. He's different to Edward, he's not quite as sculpted but he's very handsome. He's so passionate about his company and I've only ever heard about, how amazing he is to work for.

"I'm so glad, we are very pleased that you accepted our offer. We're truly a lucky company, to have you. You have an awful lot of potential. I could see your motivation and passion when we first met. It's what chose it for me."

"Thank you, sir.' I blush and turn to Edward who holds my hand and squeezes softly.

It doesn't get past his father, he quirks an eyebrow at our linked hands. Before he can say anything there's a shrill and very loud voice coming from the hall way.

"No, no, no. I didn't want you to cook broccoli. I said unicorn broccoli. Everyone knows that's cauliflower."

I look up at Edward in confusion. A beautiful young women bursts through the door, she looks painfully familiar. She has brunette hair and a volumptious body. She walks over to Mr Masen and she wraps her arms around him.

"Oh honey, I'm so sorry that I was so long."

She kisses him and it's not a kiss that I'd ever want to see my father have, especially infront of me. Edward looks like he's in pain and is about to vomit everywhere. I squeeze his hand.

She finally turns to us and I realise who she is as she walks over to Edward and wraps her arms around him. She's the woman who I bought the bright purple and silver vibrator from. I still have Edward's hand in mine as she tries to get onto tip toes to kiss his cheek. He pushes her away gently, letting go of me to do so.

"Hi, Jessica."

"Oh Eddie, I've already told you that you can call me Mom." She giggles and pats him on the cheek gently.

So, it's apparently just me that doesn't call him Eddie then. I actually cringe when she turns to me and grabs me by the tops of my arms, she kisses the air about a foot away from each cheek.

"It's so lovely to meet you Bella." She really is fake, it's like nails down a chalk board.

She seemed nicer when I met her at the shop. Just as that thought crosses my mind, a look of recognition flits across her face. She grins at me, her perfect white teeth on display.

"Oh wow. I remember you." She winks and my face goes purple.

It literally feels like it's going to fall off or melt from the heat. They could put me in the corner and use me as a heat source.

"I hope I helped with your problem." Her eyes flit between me and Edward.

I remember, vaguely, that Rose had told her that I was pandering after a bad boy, she thought the sex shop visit was the answer. Oh fuck. It's probably really clear now, who that bad boy was.

Edward and his Father are both watching in rapt interest and Edward has a wicked smirk on his face, the one that usually combusts my panties. I think it's too late, I've just completely combusted.

"Come, let me show you around Bella, if you're really Edward's girlfriend, I'd better have that little talk with you. He's never been with anyone long enough, for me to do it." She actually looks excited about this.

I agree promptly but correct her, or try to.

"Well I'm not, really."

She actually shushes me as we walk out. I'm sure I can see Edward's shoulders shaking with laughter, as I glance back.

I need air. Oh my goodness. Even my boss knows that I've been in a freaking sex shop. First I'll kill Jessica, then Rose. Maybe I'll beat them to death with the fucking vibrator, that they made me buy.

She pulls me into her side as she links arms with me. I follow her out, stumbling slightly over my feet.

She takes me round the house, I loose count of the rooms. So far I've seen a swimming pool with a gym, a study, a separate library and a cinema. She tells me that Mr Masen had it built, before Edward was born.

We end up in the kitchen where the house keeper, Charlotte is preparing our meal. We walk through the back door onto a beautiful wooden decked area. The grounds are stunning. The lights of Seattle glimmer on the sky line. She turns to me.

"So Bella, how are you getting on with that purple monster." She actually winks at me.

"it's still in the box actually."

She laughs a fake laugh, her hand slaps my arm gently.

"Oh sweetie. I'm only playing. So you and Edward, huh?

"We're not Me and Edward. We're just friends."

"Oh sweetie, I doubt he would agree with you. I see the way he looks at you. He's completely smitten with you."

"I doubt that, he doesn't do relationships." I feel a thrill run through me at her words. It doesn't last long though, I shouldn't get my hopes up.

"Oh, I know. I've heard the stories. Can't you see that with you, it's different?"

"Well, yes but it's not what you think it is."

"Just be mindful, he's been through a lot. I can't understand him, he's never cared for his father but he seems to care for you. Please be careful though. His father is so pleased to have this new Edward. You've already done so much."

Her fake attitude has disappeared and she actually looks kind and a little sad.

"I wouldn't ever hurt Edward." I say, confused.

"Honey, it's not him that I'm worried about."

I stare at her, shocked. I thought she was telling me not to hurt Edward.

"I was sure at one point that he didn't have a heart or soul. I've seen glimmers of it recently. But don't mistake him, he is who he is. This is different for him, but can a tiger really change it's spots?"

"Stripes." I correct her without thinking.

"Exactly." She pats me on the arm and I realise that, I have absolutely no idea what she's trying to say.

I nod, words escaping me.

We walk back through the house and find Edward and Mr Masen hunched over some work.

"Boys! No work at home please." She winks at me. Charlotte comes through, declaring that the meal is ready.

Edward's eyes seek me out, he walks over to me and pulls on my arm, so that we fall behind as Jessica and Mr Masen walk ahead.

"What did you buy?" His voice almost sounds like a growl.

"What?'

"What did you buy from Jessica's shop?" His voice is definitely a deep growl now, his hand gently clutches onto my arm. I can tell from his expression that he really wants to know, it almost looks like it's eating at him.

"Wouldn't you like to know." I smile at him and turn, pulling my arm from his hand and saunter off, following Charlotte into the dining room.
