My eyes fluttered open to a very bright room. I looked around not knowing where I was at first, then all of the previous night came to me like a blow to the head. I had…SEX with Edward? I sat up slowly, looking around and noticing I was still nude. I wrapped myself in the sheet and stood up. God, this room was even more gorgeous in the morning; the light that came through the tall windows was breath taking. I walked around looking at all the art on the walls. I came across an old yellowish piece of paper that was framed very nicely; the paper had very small drawings that seemed to be about anatomy.

"You like it?" I jumped at the sound of that voice and turned around to see Edward shirtless next to me.

"Uhh, yeah. What is it?" I could tell by the gleam in his eye he was very fond of this drawing in particular.

"It's a page out of Da Vinci's sketchbook, it was drawn in 1445. Carlisle was friends with him when he lived in Italy." I looked up at him in astonishment. This family got more and more interesting as the time went.

He looked down and gave me a warm smile, "How did you sleep?" I blushed…

I could barely hold back the big grin that wanted to unfold on my face, "I slept fine."

"Fine? That's it, you just slept fine?" My face betrayed me and my mouth broke out into a huge stupid grin.

"Actually, I had the most amazing night of sleep ever." His hand cupped my cheek softly and I melted into his arms forgetting the bed sheet and letting it drop to the floor. His hands roamed my body lightly making my skin fume with desire for more. I felt his lips on my neck as he slowly lifted me up. I wrapped my legs around his waist and shivered as my body touched his; I could wake up to this every day for eternity. As he laid me down on the bed, his head shot up as if he could hear something, then I heard a loud bang from outside. I could barely comprehend what was happening; before I could blink an eye, Edward brought me to the bathroom with some clean clothes and told me to wait in his room till he came back.

I could hardly put my clothes on because my entire body was shaking. All I could think about was Tanya coming back for me. She wanted me out of Edward's life, why, I didn't know. Edward said they had been separated for a long time; I didn't understand what she wanted after all this time.

I walked out of the bathroom and into the bedroom, I wasn't sure what was going on, but I could still here commotion coming from another room. I sat down on one of the leather couches with my legs pulled to my chest. I waited and waited till I couldn't wait any longer. My conscious told me to stay, while my subconscious told me otherwise.

I walked to the door and slowly pulled it open, not seeing anybody out in the hall, I inched my way forward till I could make out a clear conversation. I moved closer till I could see Alice and Carlisle holding down Tanya while Edward stood his distance away glaring at her. Tanya was sobbing heavily…

"- but I love you, doesn't that mean anything to you?"

"Tanya, you and I share a past, nothing more than that. You cannot expect to gain anything by terrorizing Bella or disrespecting my family."

"I haven't terrorized or disrespected anyone! You are playing with a human Edward, a fucking worthless human! You are disrespecting yourself AND your family!"

"I don't want to hear anymore of this Tanya. I will call Carmen and Eleazar to come for you."

Edward walked out as Carlisle and Alice released Tanya. She fell to the floor sobbing, and for a second I could understand how she felt. She was alone and in love with someone who couldn't return the favor. Then I remember her throwing and choking me, and all sympathy was gone.

"Bella?" My heart dropped, I turned around to see a concerned Edward staring at me. He grabbed my hand and brought me back to his room.

"What were you doing out there? I told you to stay here!"

I didn't know what to say, "I'm sorry, I was curious about what was going on."

"You're in a house full of vampires- with one who is mentally unstable, you shouldn't be wondering around by yourself. Please don't do that again."

I nodded slowly.

"I have to go and talk with Carlisle about something. Please stay here Bella, I don't know what Tanya is thinking, nor what she is capable of. Alright?"

"Yeah, I'll stay here."

He walked out the room and I let go of a huge breath I had been holding. Edward wasn't mad at me, but I knew he was upset I didn't listen.

I walked over to the stereo and picked out some music to play. I could tell the collection was started a long time ago, much like his art. Most of the music was Italian or German composer I had never heard of. I picked up one record to look at it when I heard Edward walk into the room.

I didn't immediately turn around to meet him, "Who is this Edward?"

"How the fuck should I know?" That's not Edward…

I turned around so fast, I almost fell down.

"What do you want Tanya?"

"It's simple, I want you gone. And obviously you are harder than I thought to make disappear. "

I went to run, but I was of course pushed down by Tanya. She grabbed me and leaped off the balcony. I struggled to push myself away as I kicked and screamed as she ran with me over her shoulder.

"Shut up you whiny little bitch!" It wasn't long after she said that when her fist hit my face hard and I lost consciousness.

I was awaken by a huge bucket of cold water being thrown on me.

"AAAAH! WHAT THE HELL!?" I screamed as I woke.

"Shut it human. You aren't used to the cold yet huh? I figured screwing Edward would make you pretty custom to it."

I was shivering as I spoke through clenched teeth, "Wh-what do-o you wa-ant?"

"Well Bella, since you asked, I'll make it short and simple: Edward."

I rolled my eyes and looked away. I noticed we were in an abandoned warehouse that was just outside Forks. I was pretty sore and now soaking wet from the ever so polite host I was be held hostage by. So this is what it's like dating vampires…
