Here is the new chapter, sorry it took so long. I really hope you enjoy it. Thank you so much for your reviews you are amazing.
I promise to complete the story, it may take a while to post between chapters but I have every intention of finishing it.
Sorry again about the grammar and misspelling, I always read it before I post, but when you already know what's written it's very easy to miss a few.

I was home. After almost two weeks in a completely different and luxurious world, I was back to the simple, normal life I always had.
We had met with our family at Carlisle and Esme's house for a welcome dinner. My mom went crazy when she saw me, she almost threw me to the ground when she ran to me and hugged me. I really missed her too.
Dinner was great, we shared a lot of stories and some pictures that Edward had downloaded to his laptop, and it was really fun. But when the time came to say goodbye to Edward, I almost freaked out, I felt like someone was asking me to remove a limb or something.
"I guess, I'll see you Monday at school?"- I said standing against my car before I had to go back with Renée.
"Really? But it's still Friday! Are you sure we won't be able to see each other during the weekend?"- He asked with a pained look on his face he looked just like I felt.
"I promised my mom, I would spend time with her. We were away for almost two weeks; I need to be with her."- I said caressing his cheek.
"But I'll miss you too much."- He whined and I had to laugh.
"Oh…Don't be a baby, I'll see what I can do, ok?"
"Promise?"- He said with the most amazing puppy eyes.
"I promise. I'll miss you too"- And his lips were on me and my mom had to almost drag me home.
I was now at my house hearing my mom talk about the days she had spent with Phil, apparently things were going very well with them.
"So, Bella, anything more you would like to share?"- My mom asked smiling.
"What do you want to know?"- I said bluntly. I knew my mother well, so it was pretty obvious what she wanted to know, but I was not going to make it easier for her.
"Well, you slept with Edward for almost two weeks. I want to know everything…Did you do it? Was it good? Is he big? Did it hurt? Did liked it?"
"Mom!"- I said feeling the heat come to my cheeks as I blushed.
"Oh, come on. I tell you everything."
"Yeah. You give me way too much information, it's a miracle I'm such a normal teen with all the stuff you share."- I said trying not to laugh at the look she was giving me.
"Just slip it."- She said laughing.
So I ended up telling her everything, because she had always been more than my mom, she had always been my best friend too.
"Wow. Bella, do you realize the kind of self control Edward must have?"- My mom asked after I told her about our last night in Vegas.
"What do you mean?"- I asked a little confused.
Then my mom went on about how different men and women are about sex, men are very physical and women very emotional, like I didn't knew that already. But has she went on, my brain only retained a few words like, painful, extremely difficult, selfish, promise and honor. Was I causing Edward pain? Was I being selfish? Was I tempting Edward to lose his honor by disrespecting the promise he made to my father?
"Are you listening to me, honey?"- My mom asked bringing me out of my thoughts.
"Sorry I got distracted."
"You look worried."- She said caressing my cheek.
"Well, it just that I haven't thought about things that way, it was just so natural to move on in our relationship, that I didn't stop to consider the consequences."
"The circumstances you were in didn't help either of you, but now that you're home and soon back to school I think you things well cool down a bit."
"I hope you are right."- Did I really? Could I go back to the way things were? Would I be able not to touch Edward in the way that I knew would make him lose it? I realized my mom was talking so I tuned my mind back to her.
"But you should talk to him about it, there's nothing more in important in a relationship than communication, not even sex."- I look at her in disbelieve.
"Since when did you become an expert in relationships?"- I asked.
"Don't look so shocked."- She said trying not to laugh.-"I've become wiser with my age."
"Yeah, right."- I said laughing.
"Ok, maybe I'm learning as I go. Everything feels so different with Phil that I don't want to mess thing."
"You really like him don't you?"
"Oh, Bella I love him, feel so complete with him in my life."- She said blushing.
So gladly our conversation switched to my mom and Phil and I listen to all she had to say, but in the back of my mind those words were still spinning.
We ended up going to bed almost at dawn, having spent all that time talking and laughing. I walked to my room and lay on my bed, and strangely my bed felt too big.
I turned and turned and even though I was tired I just couldn't fall asleep. My mind was filled with all kinds of thoughts all about Edward of course. How I wished spring break could last forever. And then I remembered Edward's words in Vegas: "…if you were one year older and willing, I would marry you tonight."- Damn, if we had gotten married in Vegas I wouldn't be alone right now. Reality really sucks.
Suddenly my phone rang with a text message from Edward.
"Are you awake?"- Instead of texting him back I dial his number so I could hear his voice.
"Hi, oh…did I awake?"- He asked worried.
"No, I couldn't sleep."
"Me either."
"Can you believe my bed actually fells too big without you?"- I said almost laughing.
"Well, mine feels huge without you. God, I miss you so much."- He said melting my heart.-"I almost drove to your house."- He confessed.
"Really? Why didn't you?"- I said a little disappointed.
"I knew you needed time with Renée, I'm trying not to be selfish, but deep down I want you all to myself."- He said and I had to laugh.
"Well someday it will be like that."- I said.
"I know…"- He breathed.
"I was just thinking that if we had gotten married in Vegas we would be together right now."
"Are you serious?"- He asked and I could hear the smile in his voice.
"Yep."
"If we had gotten married in Vegas we would be on our honeymoon now."- He said.
"Hum…I like the sound of that."
"Someday…"- He said dreamily and then he started to laugh.
"What?"- I asked a little confused.
"God, I just realized how girly you've made me."- He said.
"I have to disagree. I think you're very manly."
"Do you?"- He asked amused.
"Yes."
"Thank God!"
"So, is this the part when you ask me what I'm wearing?"- I asked teasingly and he laughed.
"No, this is when I tell you goodnight."
"Oh…"- I said disappointed.
"You need to sleep or you won't be able to keep up with Renée tomorrow."- That's when reality hit me again, and I knew he was right.-"Sleep well my love."- He said sweetly and melted.
"I love you."
"Love you too."- And we hang up, and I was actually able to fall asleep.
The next day I only got out of bed around one. Only to have my mom drag me out of the house for a mother, daughter bonding day that included lunch, shopping and a movie.
I hardly had time to call Edward but manage to texted him a few times during the day. I really wanted to talk to him face to face; there was a conversation that I didn't want to have over the phone. But time just managed to fly by because my mom just kept me busy with the most ridiculous things and Monday came by before I even realized, and I didn't have the chance to be with Edward, I really missed him. We talked on the phone, but after the two weeks we spent seeing each other every day, it just wasn't enough. I was dying to see his face, to kiss him and hold him and…you get the picture.
I woke really early and got on my way to school, hoping I would get the chance to see Edward before classes started. I knew how he usually got to school early to meet Emmet for their brotherly bonding time while exercising.
I got to school at a time record, I guess after driving Edward's precious baby, I got a little more confident with speed and my new car was perfect for it. I walked to the football field and there they were jogging, I might have sighed at the sight of my gorgeous secret boyfriend, I felt like a wave of relief came over me, I missed him. He looked so hot even all sweaty.
"Oh, hello, Ms. Swan! How are you feeling today?"- Emmet asked grinning after they approached me.
"I'm feeling great, how about you?"
"Superb."- He said in a fake British accent and I rolled my eyes.
"Hey."- I said turning to Edward, who was smiling at me.
"Hey, there beautiful."-He whispered.-"I really missed you."
"I missed you too."
"I'm going to shower before I puke."- Emmet said laughing.
"I wish I could kiss you right now."- Edward said frustrated.
"I know, this feels king of strange doesn't it?"
"I can't believe we still have two months until school is over."- He whined and I had to laugh.
"You better go shower, I'm sure you don't want to be late."
"No, shower is not the same without you."- He said looking and sounding like a little boy.
"Just go, Mr. Cullen. I'll see you later."
"I hate this."
"And I love you."- I said and he gave me that amazing crooked smile I loved.
"I know that, Ms. Swan."-He said winking at me before heading for shower.
I walked to the class building and saw Jacob standing by the door, he looked at me and smile. The kind of smile he used when we were best friends, the smile I hadn't seen I a long time.
"Hey, Bella."- He said as I approached him.
"Hello Jacob."
"Look, Bella. I'm really sorry about the way I've behave, I know I said this before but now I really mean it. I just really miss my friend, and if being your friend means I have to accept him in your life than, that's what I'll do."- He said seriously. I looked at him and studied his face, and all I saw was honesty, but could I just erase everything that had happened, everything that was said, I mean I punched him and broke his nose.-"Do you forgive me?"
"I guess, but I think it will take some time for things to go back to normal, in fact I don't know if they ever will."
"I understand, I'll do anything to get my friend back." He smiled widely.
"Ok."- I said.
"So can we walk to class together?"
"Sure."
The morning went by quickly, I didn't see Edward and Jacob walked with me to our classes; it was actually quite easy to go back to our normal routine as friends, it was natural and comfortable.
By lunch time I was really anxious to see Edward so I texted him to know if we were meeting for lunch.
"Lunch with me?"
"I would love to, but Principle Clapp wants me to join him for a new faculty ritual."- He texted me back.
"That sounds kind of creepy. Watch your back. I'll miss you."
"You just made look like a fool, laughing at my cell, everyone is looking at me. Keep your eyes open, you might see me sooner than you think."- He texted and I got even more anxious.
I went to the cafeteria got my lunch and sat at my usual table, soon my friends joined me.
"So Bella, what did you do on the holidays? I know you weren't home because I called you and your mom said you were on a business trip."- Jessica said and then she went on not stopping.-"Did you go with AliRose designers? Where did you go? Was it good? Was it luxurious? Please, just tell me already."
"Well, I had a lot of fun, but I can't really talk about it."- She pouted and stuck her tongue out to me.
"That's really mature of you Jessica."- Angela said.
"I'm sorry, I'm just dying to know if I'm the new face of the new line."- Jessica said and Angela and I exchanged a knowingly look. If she only knew.
"You'll just have to wait. But if you don't get a call by the end of the week it's because you didn't make it."
"Didn't you apply for a job there?"- Ben asked Jessica.
"Yes, I'm already getting some sales training, but between working at the store and being the face of the new line, what do you think I wanted?"- She said.
"Well, even if you don't make, you'll still be the most beautiful girl in the world."- Mike said and Jessica beamed at him.
"Aw…are they cute."- Jacob said laughing.
I felt Angela elbowing me and looked at her and she discreetly moved her head in the direction of the cafeteria door where Principle Clapp stood with Edward, Emmet and a bunch of other teachers. To our general surprise they got in line, got their lunches and sat down around the cafeteria.
"What are they doing?"- Mike asked.
"Who knows?"- Ben said.
"Are they going to eat here?"- Jessica asked. Could this be what Edward was talking about? The new faculty ritual? I needed to ask him about it later.
EPOV
I opened the door to my house and dropped my suitcase and I immediately felt lonely, like I was missing a piece of myself without Bella around. I had just spent two of the most amazing weeks of my life, only because I shared them with Bella.
I went upstairs, took a long shower and went to bed, to my huge lonely bed. I wondered if she was feeling has lonely as I was. It still amazed me how I had fallen for her so deeply in so little time.
My mind went to our last night together, I had almost lost it completely that night. It would have been so easy to just let go and…she wouldn't have stop me either, but I had to stop myself. I wanted our first time to be perfect, I wanted to plan that, to make it as romantically as possible. Two more months, just two more months and we would be free. I could handle that right?
After turning and turning in my bed, I decided to text Bella just to see if she was sleeping, she called me and it felt so good to hear her voice.
She had being thinking about being married to me that made me ecstatic. I wish I could speed time, and make a few years go by in seconds, so Bella would be older and willing to marry me.
I had a restless night and felt really tired when I got up. I went downstairs had some breakfast, took care of all my laundry and started working on my class program for the next two months. I tried to keep as busy as possible so I wouldn't miss Bella too much; it turned out to be more difficult than I thought.
She was spending the day with her mother, which was understandable because Bella had been away for almost two weeks and they needed to catch up but by Sunday morning we had barely talked, and I was getting a little anxious. I even considered sneaking into her house but I needed to give some personal time. God I becoming a bit obsessive about her, I definitely need to calm down a bit.
I had lunch with my family and we had a wonderful time as a family we talked about our holidays and of course the opening of the store. But I even though I was surrounded by my loved ones I still felt a little sad.
"You seem a little tired, son."- My dad said while we were sitting outside by the pool.
"I didn't sleep very well last night."
"Is everything alright?"- He asked with a concerned look.
"Yes, it's just that…"- Could I tell my dad how miserable without Bella I was? Would he think I was insane? Or weak?
"What? You know you can tell me anything don't you?"
"Yeah, it's just…I missed her, dad. I felt so lonely without her next to me."
"Well, that's only natural after all the time you spent together."-He said patiently.
"I never felt this dependent before, it's freaking me out."- My dad smile at my words.
"Alice told me about what happened with Bella's father. It's a good thing that he didn't press charges against you."
"Bella, really didn't give him an option."
"Even so, it was very understanding of him. Now tell me, were you able to keep your promise or have things developed?"- Ok, for a normal man this would definitely be weird, talking to your father about sex, but I wasn't a normal man, I needed my father's serenity and experience to calm my never stopping mind.
"Things got a little heated, and we've become more intimate, but she's still a virgin, technically, if you know what I mean."
"I see, and you were able to stop every time?"- My dad said with a proud look on his face.
"Yes, but I have to confess it was getting really difficult to, because she's always so willing that sometimes I don't see the point of waiting."
"Maybe you should slow things down a little before you do something that you'll regret later."
"But that's just it, dad, I would never regret it. I know that there might be consequences in the future but deep down that wouldn't matter, because she makes me feel so good, so alive. When I'm with her like that, it's all about us…there's nothing else. Do you know how good that feels?"
"I can only imagine. So you can actually turn your thoughts off?"
"Yes, it's like nothing I ever experienced before. Even when I had sex before, I never really shut down completely a part of my mind was still working. But with Bella, it's only about her and the way I make her feel and the way she makes me feel. It is so liberating."
"Wow, that's amazing Edward."- I knew my father well, and could tell there was more.
"But?"
"But, I still think you should slow things down a little."
"I know, it just feels so perfect, so right…"
"That means she is the right one for you. I felt the same with your mother."
"Really?"
"Yes, but everything was easier for us."
"I want to marry her, dad. If she was older I would have done it in Vegas."
"Does she feel the same?"- My dad asked a little concerned.
"Yes, she does, but she young and marriage sounds like a huge step, but I'll wait until she's ready, no matter how long that takes."
"Are you sure?"
"There's not a doubt in my heart, and I've been thinking about our future…"
"Would you like to share it with me?"
I shared with my dad all that I had planned, and it was great to have his insight on things, although he advised me to be careful and patient with Bella. I was so easy for me to forget she was only seventeen, I guess going back to school would help get my thoughts back on reality and take things slowly.
After a very brief phone call from Bella, I went to bed for another restless night, but as morning came, I felt a little more enthusiastic because today I would be seeing my beautiful Bella.
"Good morning, my dearest brother."- Emmet greeted me with a huge smile.
"Are you high?"- I asked in disbelieve.
"I'm high on love."- Emmet said sighing and I had to laugh.
"Wow, you must have had a great night."
"Oh, brother dear, you have no idea."- He said sighing again.-"We had the most amazing homecoming sex of my life, Rose was just…"
"Hey, too much information bro, don't forget that I'm on a special diet, concerning sex."
"Oh, right. Sorry. It's just that I'm so happy, man. I can't wait to become a married man."- He said, and those words coming from a guy like Emmet meant a lot. I could help but feel a little jealous of the freedom he had in his relationship with Rose. Two more months, two more months…I repeat it this in my mind like a mantra.
"I'm really happy for you."- I said patting him in the back.-"Now, enough with the girl talk, let's go for a run."- Some exercise would do us both some good.
After I few minutes I felt her presence, even before I saw her, she looked beautiful as always. She was wearing a short blue dress that stopped a few inches over her knee and a white bolero on top. The moment our eyes met I felt like a new person, like life had filled my body again. I had to restrain myself not to take her in my arms and kiss her.
I didn't see her all morning, but was planning on having lunch with her, and finally have some alone time. But apparently luck was not on my side, because Principle Clapp called for a short faculty meeting, and told us he expected every teacher to start having lunch in the cafeteria with the student body. Apparently there had been some complaints about the food, and he wanted to show that there was nothing wrong with it.
So Emmet and I ended up following him to the cafeteria for lunch. At least I would be able to look at Bella even if it was from a distance.
I got my food and sat with Emmet and some other colleges, of course I picked a seat that was facing Bella's table making it easier to look at her. The moment my eyes landed on her I notice Jacob sitting next to her, they were talking and smiling at each other, I could help but feel a little jealous. She turned her head and our eyes met and the love I saw in them was undeniable, and relief washed over me.
It was very hard to concentrate on teaching the class with Bella in the room, she would look at me from under her lashes and smile, and there was this time that she took her hand under the table and pulled her dress almost all the way up teasing me, and I almost lost it there for a moment. And that was when I started to make my plan for being alone with her during next period. I felt bad for making her miss another class but I just needed to be with Bella, and I could always help her study later.
BPOV
Can this class be more boring? My history teacher was talking with her monotone voice for the last ten minutes about…actually I had no idea what she was talking about my mind had been elsewhere. I had been thinking about Edward of course, God the look on his face when I pulled my dress up, was priceless, he almost lost it for a moment. I guess I had been a little evil, but it was so good to tease, although I got a little worried after that because of the way he was grinning mischievously. I never knew what kind of things that his genius mind could come up with.
"Ms. Swan?"- I looked up hearing my name and after Jacob had elbowing me.
"Yes?"- I said looking at my teacher and that's when I notice there was someone at the door, one of the ladies from the school office.
"You're wanted at the Principle office."- My eyes widened in surprise.
"I am? Like now?"- My teacher rolled her eyes and nodded, so I gather my things and started to get nervous. Had something happened? Was I in trouble? Had someone notice something between Edward and me?
I followed the lady silently, with all of this in my mind and with my heart pounding like crazy, until I almost ran into her back with she stopped abruptly.
"Hello, Mrs. Cope, wow you look younger every time I see you."- I head snapped up at the sound of that smooth sexy voice I knew so well.
"Oh, Mr. Cullen you're going to make an old lady blush."- She said melting and I just stared at them with my mouth hanging open.
"Old lady? If I wasn't already in love, you would very hard to resist."- Ok, I think my mouth actually hit my feet, that's how shocked I was.-"So what are you doing here?"- He asked her using all of that Cullen charm, and I could swear the lady just melted completely.
"Well, Principle Clapp send me a text asking me to bring Ms. Swan to his office."- She said.
"But were you on your way home?"- He asked.
"Yes…"- She sighed.
"Well, I was just heading to the main office; I'll take Ms. Swan for you."
"Really?"
"Of course."
"Thank you so much."- She said, caressing his arm and I just wanted to puke.
"This way please, Ms. Swan."- Edward said after she left and I just looked at him completely confused. He rolled his eyes and started to walk, but instead of following the directions to the main office he walked to the school paper room and opened the door.-"Do you want to go in or wait until someone sees us?"- He asked and I immediately went inside.
"Can you please tell me what this is all about? I'm completely lo…."- I was cut off when Edward's crashed mine and we kissed passionately. God I missed this.
"It had been sixty five hours, twelve minutes and fifty seconds since I've kissed you, I just needed to kiss you."- He said when we pulled away to breath.
"But what about Principle Clapp?"- I asked a little nervous.
"What about him?"- He asked amused.
"I was supposed to go see him."
"No, I was the one who sent the text to Mrs. Cope."- I gasped in surprise.
"But she'll know, Edward. What if she finds…"- I was cut off again by his eager and hungry lips.
"Do you really want to talk about this right now, Bella? Just trust me on this ok? There's nothing to worry about."- He said a little annoyed.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, now don't waste anymore time."- He said before taking my lips again, and all I could do was melt in his arms.
"I've missed you so much."- He whispered against my ear sending shivers down my spine and then he gently nibbled on my earlobe setting my body on fire.
"Oh…Edward, God that feels so good…"- I said almost what of breath.
"I can make you feel even better."- He whispered again kissing me along the line of my neck making me writher in anticipation.-"Would you like that, Bella?"- His hands were coming up my dress caressing my bare skin gently; he cupped my butt squeezing it. I was getting dizzy with desire, but in the back of my mind I could stop worrying because we were in school and things were getting pretty heated between us.
"We're at school?"- I manage to say and he smiled.
"I know that…"-He breathed in my ear.-"Is that what the janitor's closet is for?-He went on, now against my lips.
"Yes…but…you're a teacher and…"
"And that makes things a lot more exciting, don't you think?"- He said smiling. Well he did have a point, because my body was responding more intensely than usual.-"We don't have much time…" He said put his hands under my knees lifting me my legs wrapping around his waist, he walked and sat me on the huge meeting desk, pulling me against him creating the most excruciatingly amazing friction, I was sure he could feel how wet I was for him.
"I want you so much…"- I whispered. He slowly moved his hand between my legs.
"Oh shit…Bella…"- He said feeling my need for him.-"Can I make you feel good now, please…"- He said against my lips. I just couldn't find any words so I just moved my hips towards his hand and he smiled. Needless to say it didn't take him long to bring me to ecstasy twice, of course he had to cover my mouth to stop the loud noises I was making.-"I love you so much…"
"Hum…"- I still could articulate any words and he just smiled and held me close to him.
"We need to go…"- He said.
"Already but I haven't even reciprocate."- I said and he kissed me softly.
"You don't have to."
"I know, but I really wanted to."- I said pouting and he just laughed.
"We really have to go, I'll leave first ok?"
"I think I'll just stay here, we have a meeting for the paper."
"Ok, see you later beautiful."- He said and he placed a soft kiss on my lips and left and I just lay on the desk and sighed. After a little while I got up straighten my dress, made I quick visit to the bathroom to check my appearance and went back to the room.
I turned on the lights and opened the windows to clear the air, and turned on the computers, a few minutes later we were gather around the same desk I had been sitting on, and it was really hard not to get distracted by the memories.
We laid on the paper's next issue and everyone got their new assignments, Edward came by for a few minutes just to check on what we were doing, I didn't even look at him afraid of what my reaction would be.
One hour later I was with Alice and Rose discussing the latest things for the opening of the store and the launching of the new line. They called the winners of the video contest to let them know they had won and to set a meeting for the next day.
I was so busy that I didn't feel time fly by until Edward came smiling into my office. We had dinner with there at the office after Emmet and Jasper joined us.
The next few days were absolutely insane; between school and work I was going nuts. I manage to find time to study for my ACT's.
On the day of the test I was a nervous wreck, Edward sent me a text encouraging me and to remind me that I was ready for this. Right! I was? Wasn't i?
My hands were shaking but when I started and realized I actually knew the answers I relaxed a little. The relief I felt once I was done was unbelievable.
I had the rest of the day off to relax not that I needed it, but Alice and Rose insisted.
I drove to Edward's and he surprised me with a bubble bath in his huge bathtub, of course I was a bit disappointed when he didn't join me, but once I came downstairs I understood why. He had prepared an amazing dinner for us, after we ate we cuddle on the couch and I ended up falling asleep, I guess I was more tired than I realized.
The rest of the week flew by, work was insane again with meetings, and rehearsals, there were these amazing funny moments watching the football players rehearse for the presentation of the new line.
Of course Jessica turned green when she found out that Angela was actually the main face of AliRose, but after a few days she calmed down. For me it was kind of weird having her around the store, the good thing was that she didn't have access to the office area which was a relief, but to be safe Edward started to use the private elevator from the garage to the reception area.
It was now Friday the day before the opening, and because of Alice's perfect ability to plan things everything was ready, the store looked amazing everything was beautifully decorated; Esme had done a great job. Of course tomorrow the store would only be receiving special guest and the press, and it would only be opened to the general public on Monday. At school this was all that people talked about and Lauren actually harassed me every day for an invitation, like that would ever happened.
After checking a few things downstairs and walked calmly to my office but stopped dead in my tracks when the first thing I saw was Edward hugging a tall strawberry blond and I just froze.
I wonder who that is…
I hope you like it and that you like where the story is going.
Next chapter the opening and a lot more…don't give up on me.
