A/N: I loved reading all your stories and opinions on Edward's cat. His cat will have an important significance later on in the story. I'm not sure she will ever accept Bella though lol. As for the story Bella is writing, that took me a while to figure out. Like Bella, I had all kinds of ideas but nothing sounded right. Someone suggested writing it as another fanfiction and who knows, maybe I will someday but not anytime soon. I did write a story about dragons last year for a contest and actually won 1st place as well as $100. That story was an original story and I plan to post it on my blog eventually if anyone is interested in reading it. It's a somewhat PG rated story, though. I'll let anyone interested know when I put it up on my blog.

In the morning, I woke up to a light touch to my cheek. I turned slightly towards the touch and found Edward leaning over me and giving me a gentle kiss. "Good morning," he said.

I groaned realizing staying up all night while going over scenarios in my head was not the greatest idea. I was still exhausted after my allergic reaction and sleepless night.

"I need to go into the hospital for a while," he informed. I started to stretch and try my best to wake up. "You don't need to get up. You're welcome to stay as long as you like."

"Okay," I whispered while curling back up in the sheets and pulling the blankets up to my chin. I heard Edward chuckle and felt him kiss my cheek again.

"I'll see you later."

When I woke up later in the day, my only thought was to get to my computer. I had enough rest and wanted to get out all the thoughts circulating inside my head. I looked around Edward's apartment and realized he still wasn't back. I slipped out of his door and ran upstairs. At the top of my steps was Alice banging on my door and calling my name. I slowed as I came upon her. All I could think was how am I going to explain my way out of this?

"Where the hell have you been?" she shouted when she finally saw me coming up the stairs.

"Why? What's wrong?"

"Nothing's wrong other than my best friend disappeared for a night and most of the next day. I was seriously starting to think something happened to you," she scolded. I opened my front door and walked into my apartment with Alice right on my heels. "I heard you were in the hospital last night and I've been trying to call you all day to make sure you were okay. I was really worried about you."

"I'm sorry. I must have left my cell phone here." I searched around and found my phone sitting on the kitchen counter. I picked it up and waved it around to show Alice I truly had forgotten it. I quickly moved to my computer and turned it on ignoring Alice as much as I could.

"Where were you last night?" Alice asked pulling up a chair next to me. "Your car was still in the parking lot so you couldn't have gone far."

"I was at Edward's apartment," I answered nonchalantly.

"What?" she screeched.

"It's not a big deal. He didn't want me to be alone after my allergic reaction so I either had to stay in the hospital or go home with him." I opened up the document on my computer and skimmed what I'd written so far to remember where I had left off and where I should begin again.

"Well wasn't that convenient," she teased. I rolled my eyes and turned towards her for a moment. She had a huge grin on her face like she was pleased with what had happened. "So…" she began dragging the word out as if she was waiting for me to elaborate. "What happened?"

"Nothing," I answered truthfully. "We talked, he kept an eye on me, he slept, I daydreamed, he went to work, and then I slept. Now I'm home and very busy."

I turned back to my computer and suddenly the words started pouring out of my fingers. I couldn't type fast enough to keep up with my thoughts. I could feel Alice over my shoulder watching and reading what I was typing but I didn't care.

"What are you doing?" she asked.

"I'm writing."

"Your story?" she asked in a shocked tone.

"Uh huh," I answered barely acknowledging her.

She paused for moment and remained silent while I continued to type. "What has gotten into you?"

"Edward gave me some great ideas and some very useful information last night while we were talking. I had so many new ideas run through my mind last night. I couldn't wait to get home to start working on it again."

"Edward gave you some great ideas?" she asked with a skeptical tone.

I stopped typing and looked up at her. "Yeah, he did. Why did you say it like that?"

"I guess I don't see him as being someone who wants to sit around and talk about dragons all night. That's really all you did?" she asked.

I smiled and contemplated whether I should tell her about the kiss. I was going to but something made me decide to keep it to myself for now. I didn't want yet another thing for people to gossip about. "Honestly, Alice, that's all we did. We sat in his bed and talked about dragons."

"What other kind of ideas did he give you?" she wondered.

"I'm adding a new character. This character has tattoos and rides a motorcycle. He's sort of a rebel," I explained. At first I was against the suggestion Edward had given me but after thinking about it I realized how much sense it made.

"This character is based on Edward isn't it?" she asked smirking at me.

I could feel my face turning red from the accusation. She was right but Edward was the one who suggested it. "In a way. He does ride a motorcycle and have tattoos. Which reminds me, Edward was supposed to tell me about his other tattoos and he never did. I'll have to ask him about those."

"His tattoos? He showed you his tattoos?" she asked getting even more excited with every word I said.

"A few days ago when we had dinner together he showed me some of them. There's a couple he hasn't told me about yet."

"Wait!" she exclaimed shaking her head and holding up her hands. "You had dinner together? When? Why haven't you told me any of this?"

I turned back to my computer and took a deep breath before typing once again. "It wasn't a big deal. I was actually trying to forget about it."

"Why?" she squealed.

"Alice, it doesn't mean anything. Edward and I are… friends, I guess? Neighbors? Acquaintances? There's nothing more."

"For now," she said as if she knew some secret she wasn't going to reveal. I shook my head and went back to writing, ignoring anything else she said. Eventually she left and I was able to focus solely on my story. I wrote all day long and was so enthralled in what I was doing I didn't think or do anything else. Night had fallen and only the light from my computer screen filled the room. I barely noticed the darkness though. All I thought about was the story. I didn't stop until I felt someone come up behind me and rub my shoulders. I screamed and jumped out of my chair. Edward stood before me with his hands up in defense like he was afraid I was going to attack him.
