I wake up tangled with a naked Bella. Fuck yeah. I can feel my morning wood pressing into Bella's thigh. Hmm...

I run my nose along her neck, breathing in her scent. God she smells glorious. I begin to run my lips down the same path my nose was following. She begins to stir, causing me to smirk.

She moans softly. Fuck, now I have to have her.

"Edward?" Bella whispers.

"Hmm?"

"Edward, baby, what are you doing?"

I smirk.

"Gettin' mine."

Bella giggles.

"Is that so?"

I continue my ministrations.

"Mmmhmmm."

"Well, I hate to burst your bubble, but I've got to get ready for work."

I groan.

"No."

Bella laughs.

"You wouldn't want me to lose my job over a booty call, would you?"

I look up at her in shock.

"Booty call?!"

Bella laughs.

"You're the one who said you were 'gettin' mine.'"

I groan. Well the booty call line definitely killed Mr. Boner.

"Yeah, yeah whatever."

I roll off of Bella and head towards the bathroom. I look back at Bella and see her staring at my ass with pure lust in her eyes. Oh I see how it is.

"You could have had this, you know."

Bella groans and covers her face.

"Don't remind me."

I laugh and head into the shower.

After getting ready, two cups of coffee, and a really long kiss goodbye, I head into work. I walk into my office with a mile wide smile on my face. My co-workers all cast me curious glances, but I pay them no mind.

I sit down in my office chair trying to wipe the smile off of my face. It's absolutely impossible. I look around my desk and realize what it's missing. This thing is about to be decked out in pictures of Bella. Tomorrow, for sure.

Damn, I'll never stop smiling.

I log into my computer and start working. But guess what? I've got to work on Bella's case. My girlfriend's case. I'm such a pansy.

But I'm still smiling.

"Someone got laid last night."

I look up to see my co-worker, Seth, standing in the doorway. I smirk and wave him in.

"Try earth-shattering sex with the love of my life."

Seth smirks but I can see the confusion in his eyes. He knows I really don't see Tanya as the love of my life. If it's obvious to my attorney, it's definitely obvious to Seth. He's been a good buddy of mine since I started here three years ago.

I wonder if he would want to follow me to my practice.

"Sounds like a good night."

I nod.

"You have no idea, dude. Even with Tanya showing up it was still the best night of my life."

Seth blanches.

"Wait, what?!"

I laugh.

"You should see your face, dude! It's hilarious!"

I pound my fist on my desk while laughing. His eyes are wide as saucers. His mouth is gaping open. I think shocked may be an understatement for this expression.

"Explain, fucker."

I sober up while he starts to glare at me.

"You know what I told you about my past? About the tabloids and how the girl I was with was the one who sold the story?"

He nods.

"Bella, right?"

I can't fight my smile at the mention of her name. God, I love her.

"Long story short, Bella got Tanya to admit she was the one who sold the story. I filed for divorce yesterday."

The shock is back on Seth's face.

"No fucking way, dude! And you're just sitting here smiling?!"

"Sure, it pisses me off. But I've got Bella back. I'm going to sound like some pussy-ass bitch when I say this, but Bella is the love of my life. No one ever has, or ever will compare to Bella. She makes me complete. And I've never been a happier in my life."

Seth smiles.

"Then I'm happy for you, man."

"Thanks, Seth. You've got to meet her sometime. You would absolutely love her."

"When would you like me to meet her?"

I smirk.

"Well not tonight because I plan on jumping her the second she walks in the door."

Seth laughs.

"That's the way to be!"

I join him in laughter.

"So yeah, I moved in with Bella yesterday and I feel like my life couldn't be better. Oh and get this. Our friends and Bella pulled their money together and got me a present. A really big present. But you've got to keep your mouth shut about this for now, got it?"

Seth nods.

"I've got it, dude."

"They pulled their money together and got me my own practice."

Seth's eyes almost pop out of his head.

"No fucking way!"

"I'm pretty sure I said the same thing."

"Holy shit, dude! You're own practice?!"

I want to laugh at his reaction; he's so shocked. But I'm too busy smiling.

"Yep. I'm sure it was Bella's idea, it's something she would do. But she wouldn't be too happy if she knew I figured it out."

Seth laughs.

"You better put a ring on her finger for that."

"Oh don't you worry about that. I'll be sliding a ring on her finger the second the judge announces I'm divorced. I've wanted to marry her since the day I met her."

Seth smiles widely at me.

"I'm happy for you, dude. I really am."

I smile back at him.

"Thank you."

Seth stands up and heads over to my door, putting his hand on the door handle.

"Now, I'm going to go spread some rumors on why you're smiling. Sex with a porn star last night might do the trick."

I roll my eyes.

"Watch yourself. There are spies everywhere. You get me in trouble and you're ass is mine, Clearwater."

Seth smirks.

"In trouble, huh? She must be one hell of a woman if she can keep your ass in line."

I can't fight my smile.

"You have no idea, Seth, no idea."

With one last smile Seth heads out of my office and I get back to Bella's case.

I get back to work but can't get Bella out of my head. God, she's put a spell on me or something. But I'm still fucking smiling.

"Mr. Cullen, Mrs. Cullen is on line one."

I groan.

"Which one?"

My secretary, Samantha, a dim-witted playboy bunny wanna-be giggles.

"Your mother."

Welp.. I'm sure I know what this is about. It hasn't even entered my mind to call her. I've been a little wrapped up in Bella.

I sigh, preparing myself, and pick up the phone.

"Mother."

"So I had a visitor today."

Well let's just jump right to the point, shall we?

"I'm doing great, mother. And yourself?"

I can hear her rolling her eyes, I swear it.

"Enough, Edward. Explain to me why your wife showed up in tears telling me you left her for Bella."

She uses her "mother tone" that makes me want to curl up in a little ball and die. But I'll be damned if she's going to take Tanya's side on this.

"Did she also tell you about how Bella got her to admit that she was the one who sold the story?"

There's a pause.

"How can you really believe Bella after what she did? We have proof that she's the one who did it."

I roll my eyes. She always acts like she did nothing wrong. Sure, lying to me my whole life is just fine and dandy. Lying to Carlisle for 22 years is alright, too. Keep dreaming, ma.

"Ok A. Don't act like an innocent party in this whole situation. And B. I was there. And I have the video to prove it, mother."

I can hear her take a sharp intake of breath. She's silent for a few minutes, probably battling everything out in her head.

"Well, I definitely owe Bella an apology."

I nod, though she can't see me.

"I'd say you do. I mean, you did hit her, scream at her for hours, then follow her into the church and completely humiliate her in front of all of our guests by continuing to scream at her."

I can hear her sigh a guilty sigh. I want to take satisfaction in the fact that she's seeing the error of her ways but I can't. I fucked up, too. I believed everyone else. I left her. I married someone else. God, you're such an asshole.

But then Bella's voice came to mind. "Focus on the future, Edward. It's time to move on from our past." And she's right. I'll be guilty about that until the day I die, but I'm not going to let it bring me down, bring us down.

"Ok, so you and Bella are back together. I take it you moved in with her?"

I smile.

"Yes, I did."

"Honey, I totally get why you're back together. She's your other half. I've never seen two people better for each other. But isn't it a little soon to be moving in together?"

I consider my words carefully, I want my mother to understand.

"I belong wherever Bella is. We've been separated for too damn long and I want to spend every spare moment with her. I want her there, in my arms, when I go to sleep at night. I want her to be the first thing I see when I wake up in the morning. I want a life with Bella."

I hear a small sob. Is mother crying? Is Esme actually crying?

"Are you ok, mother?"

She lets out a small laugh.

"I'm fine, sweetheart. I'm just so happy for you. For both of you. After everything that has happened, I can not think of two better people who deserve that life. Do you think we could arrange dinner say Friday so I could apologize to Bella?"

I sigh. I have no idea how Bella will feel about seeing my mother. Sure, she forgave me. But Bella's in love with me. She's not in love with my mother. And God, Esme punched her. Humiliated her.

"I don't know. Let me see how Bella feels about it and I'll get back to you, ok?"

"Ok, sweetheart. Just give me a call when you know. I'll let you get back to work."

Thank God. You're killin' my buzz, ma.

"Alright, I'll talk to you later. I love you, mother."

"I love you, too. Bye."

I hang up my phone and get back to work, erasing the conversation with my mother from my mind. I'll think about it when I feel like it. I have Bella in my life and I'm not going to waste my time worrying about Bella's reaction to my mother.

I work hard throughout the day, and only call Bella three times just to hear her voice. My co-workers seem to be freaked out because it looks like I have a permanent smile on my face. But with Bella in my life, there may be some truth to that statement.

I speed to our home, God it's so great to be going home to Bella. I pull into the garage and see Bella's car there. She's home. I walk into the house and can hear Bella cooking dinner.

"Honey, I'm home!"

Bella and I both bust out laughing. She comes around the corner with a bright smile displayed across her beautiful face.

"How was your day, dear?"

"It was wonderful. Is dinner on the table?"

I try to contain my laughter, and I can see Bella is fighting it as well. She replies with a mock seriousness and slight shock.

"Of course dinner is on the table!"

I can't help it; I lose it. It causes Bella to join me in hysterical laughter as I reach for her and pull her in for a hug while we continue to laugh. Once we start to sober up I do what I've been dying to do since I left for work, I kiss her.

She responds softly and I can feel her smiling into the kiss. I am the luckiest man in the world. To know that I've made this angel happy makes me the happiest man alive.

I pull back from the kiss and take a look at her. She's still in her work clothes, black pants that make her ass look phenomenal and a pink silk blouse.

"How was your day, love?"

Bella graces me with a wider smile. Beautiful.

"It was great. I managed to catch up yesterday's work as well as finish today's. You?"

"I got a lot done with your case. You know, in between phone calls."

Bella giggles and heads back to the kitchen. I follow her as if I have a choice in the matter. The truth is, I'd follow her anywhere and not think twice. And being separated nine hours is hard work. I missed her.

I walk into the kitchen and it smells like an Italian restaurant. Mmmm... God, I love her cooking. Is there anything she can't do?

"What's cookin' good lookin'?"

Bella graces me with her beautiful laugh. I will do whatever it takes to keep her laughing forever. Her eyes crinkle and light up, her cheeks become slightly pink, and her beautiful, pouty slips separate. She's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.

"Spaghetti with my homemade sauce."

My mouth automatically waters. Her homemade sauce is awesome. And it's been years since I've had it.

I grab her waist from behind and pull her to me. I leave a lingering kiss on her neck then speak in a whisper.

"Sounds amazing, love. I'm going to go hop in the shower. Care to join me?"

Bella lets out a sexy sigh and reaches behind my head and pulls my face to hers. She kisses me softly.

"I wouldn't want to burn your dinner."

"Screw dinner. Or rather, I'd prefer to screw you."

I can see the spark of lust in Bella's eyes. She slowly turns around to face me. She presses her body to mine and I can feel her full breasts against my chest. My erection presses into her stomach. God I want her.

"Is that so?"

I want her so bad I can barely respond.

"Mmmhmm."

She smirks.

"Well, too bad. I'm hungry."

Denied. Damn, I thought it was working.

"Ok, you win this one Ms. Swan but you haven't seen the last of me yet."

"Oooo scary!"

I roll my eyes. Smart ass.

"I'm going to go change, love."

Bella smiles and kisses me on the cheek before turning back to cooking dinner. I walk into our bedroom grinning like a fool. I hope I don't ever come down from this high. Sure, I'm becoming a pussy-ass bitch but I don't care. I'm just so happy.

By the time I'm dressed dinner is on the table. I let out a small chuckle, reminded of our joking around when I got home. I kiss Bella on the cheek and become mesmerized by the light blush that graces her cheeks.

"Dinner smells delicious, love."

She smiles softly.

"Thank you."

I dig in and groan at the taste. It's like my taste buds are having an orgasm.

"Delicious."

Bella giggles while I start to stuff my face. I'm sure I look like a complete fool but I don't care. It's so good.

Then, out of nowhere, my conversation with my mother pops into my mind. Well, I guess now would be a good time to tell her.

"So, I spoke with my mother today."

Bella freezes, her fork half way to her face. I look in her eyes and I see a combination of shock and hurt. Esme had become like a second mother to Bella, so I'm sure everything my mother did that day cut her deep.

"How did it go?" Bella asks softly.

"I told her what happened. Well, I gave her the basics. She wants to have dinner with us Friday night to apologize."

I can see the fear that automatically fills Bella's eyes. I reach forward and grab a hold of her hand and run my thumb back and forth in order to soothe her.

"Hey, you don't have to do anything you don't want to do. I told her I would get back with her. But she feels awful, Bella. I don't expect you to forgive her, but I think at some point you should at least give her the opportunity to apologize. I plan on spending the rest of my life with you, Bella. But that also means that my mother will be a part of your life, whether you want her to be or not."

I can see the realization flow into Bella's beautiful brown eyes. I can still see the fear, mixed with a little bit of defeat. When she speaks, it's still in a soft tone.

"I guess you're right. But we have dinner plans with the gang Friday night."

I sigh. I totally forgot about that. How can you forget about them you jackass? After everything they've done for you?

"I'm such an ass. I completely forgot about that."

Bella rolls her eyes.

"We had just dealt with Tanya, I don't blame you for not being entirely focused. Mix that in with the whole shock of you getting your practice. I half-expected you to forget."

Angel. Pure God send. Whatever she is, she always knows how to make me feel better.

"Thank you, love. So.. Saturday night then?"

I can see the hesitation but she nods. I pull her hand to my lips and kiss her palm. She's an amazing creature.

Bella turns to me and I see her a little more hesitant and questioning.

"What is it?"

She gulps.

"You know, I never did find out what happened between you and Carlisle, and who your real father is."

I sigh and run my hand through my hair. I guess she wouldn't know, being as I wasn't exactly divulging that information when I still spoke to her. Then there was the two years of silence.

"Well, Carlisle did take my trust fund away. But that was within days of him finding out. I think it was more of a way for him to lash out at my mother, honestly. I'm sure you know they're still married so he's forgiven her. But before he forgave her he came to me and told me he raised me and that no matter what I'm still his son. I think his exact words were, "genetics be damned."

As for my real father, well.. It was my mother's way of lashing out. Her father and Carlisle's father were pushing them together, like a business deal really. Cullen Enterprises would be gaining her father's business and them forging together would be impossible to beat.

My mother wanted to find love on her own, you know? Carlisle wasn't exactly thrilled, either. So I guess she me some guy at a bar and it was a one night thing. She didn't know that I wasn't Carlisle's until I was born. I guess my hair color proved it.

At that point, Carlisle and Esme were already married and had fallen in love. She didn't want to break his heart. And they couldn't have a public scandal, you know a baby out of wedlock. So, she kept it quiet. To this day, we have no idea how anyone found out I'm not really Carlisle's."

I can see Bella process the information I gave her, so I keep silent. It's a lot to take in.

"So, you and Carlisle are ok?"

I nod.

"We're just fine. I still call him dad, because he's right; he raised me so he is my dad."

I can see a small smile form on Bella's face.

"I'm glad, you two were so close. It broke my heart seeing the two of you torn apart."

I look at Bella in astonishment. How the hell could she care about that when she lost me?

"Bella, you had just lost me! You had been framed, shunned basically!"

Bella rolls her eyes.

"I still loved you, Edward. You hurt, I hurt, remember?"

I smile and lean forward, kissing her passionately.

"You're an amazing woman, Bella."

She smiles.

"No, I'm just in love."

I kiss her again and get back to eating dinner. We stick to lighter topics throughout the rest of the meal and take our glasses of wine to the living room and watch a movie. I can't even pay attention, I'm completely focused on the angel in my arms. They way her eyes light up during certain scenes, or how the sadness clouds her eyes.

At this point, I don't care that I'm horny as fuck. I don't care that there is a whole world out there that we're going to have to fight tooth and nail. Bella's in my arms, so everything is right in my world.
