The metro north railroad, how it could be relaxing while other times completely unbearable. Although it was usually unbearable when the train was packed to no end and you were forced to sit with some stranger. And it always seemed to be my luck that I was stuck next to the smelly person. Seriously, I really wonder if people wake up and go 'I smell terrible today! I am going to make sure I go sit next to Bella Swan on the train today' ugh, I seriously hated it to no end. But thankfully for those times when it was relaxing, and I had the three-seater all to myself and I could just put my legs up and read my book while I took the half hour train ride to Grand Central station. Edward most of the time tried to meet me, but I had become use to hauling my belongings on the subway. Oh the subway another lovely train-ride, where there wasalways a person with a stench to them.
As fantastic as New York City could be, there were definitely some factors I could do without. I was going to be spending the weekend at Edward's, which I was glad about. Sometimes I just liked to get away from campus, and there was definitely more to do in the city that never sleeps. And that was not a lie. I still remember the first night I slept at Edward's like it was yesterday. The car horns, and the people outside yelling, it was without doubt not like Forks at all. But nonetheless something drew me to it, especially around Christmas. The first time Edward and I went to see the tree in the city it was outstanding, just breathtaking. I also just loved being all bundled up and walking through Little Italy and Chinatown eating a gelato in the middle of winter.
I took the train right after I got out of class so I would make down in time to actually be able to enjoy Friday night and as well so I wouldn't be stuck on the train with so many crazy's. But usually they were leaving the city then coming into it in the afternoon. When I arrived at Edward's he had just gotten back from picking up Chinese take out for us, I of course was in heaven. I had come to realize that nothing was truly more amazing then New York Chinese food and pizza. Well at least the city area. Last fall we had taken a ride with his current roommate to visit his girlfriend upset at school, she was attending Marist College. We had stopped for pizza on the way and let me just tell you it was not as good as the city's.
"You do not realize how much I love you," I moaned as I shoved a fork full of noodles into my mouth as Edward and I vegged out on his living room floor with the take-out. I had yet to master the art of using chop sticks, even though Edward had attempted to show me numerous times.
Edward smirked, "I love you too" he reached over and picked up a piece of sesame chicken with his chop sticks and slipped it into his mouth.
"Oh I'm sorry.." I grinned at him, "I was actually talking to my food"
"Ouch, low blow" he chuckled and reached over to kiss me on the neck right below my ear.
"However if you continue to do that I might change my mind" I sighed contently as his lips went to work on my neck for a few moments before pulling away swiftly just in time for Edward to grab another piece of chicken and put it into his mouth.
"Evil, very evil" I chuckled as I reached over and stabbed my fork into a piece of chicken, "I still do not understand how you can eat with those things"
"And I still can't under how you can't eat with them.." he held them up and started to demonstrate for me how they work, "It isn't rocket science lamb"
"Oh bite me" I rolled my eyes and continued to dig into my delicious food.
The door opened and we both turned to see Rick entering with a stack of books in his arm. I swear that kid is always studying, and I couldn't help but be a little surprised he was actually home, "Do I smell Chinese food?" He came in and put his books down on the kitchen counter, "Hey Bella"
I swallowed what I had in my mouth and gave Rick a little wave, "Hey Rick, how are you? How's Christine?"
"I'm good, she's good. She was actually asking when Edward was going to have you down again so we could all get together"
"Sounds like a plan" I said with a smile as Edward and I watched Rick reach into the fridge and grab himself a soda.
"I'm actually kind of shocked your home right now" Edward said with a chuckle as he picked up his can of soda and took a sip.
"So am I, but I just needed to drop off my books and then I'm heading over to Christine's for the night" He gulped down his soda then threw the can into the garbage, "Any of the other guys here?"
"Todd is, well I never know where Todd is. He's probably out getting drunk like always, and then Kyle is surprisingly not here"
Rick nodded, "You know I've been seeing Kyle around a lot with that Dylan kid from my Biology class. And they seem really friendly"
"Really?" Edward cocked his head to the side and thought about it for a moment, "You know I think Dylan might be, but guys we don't know for sure"
I just shrugged my shoulders. It was true we weren't exactly sure if Kyle was gay but there were a few little things we had all noticed. Well everyone noticed but Todd thankfully, Edward and Rick didn't think Todd would deal with it well if Kyle was gay. The first time we ever noticed anything was when Edward came out of his room really quick just in his boxers and Kyle would not stop blushing. It reminded me of well myself. Another time neither Edward nor I was there but Kyle was talking to Rick's girlfriend Christine as she watched this movie Penelope and Kyle accidentally blurted out that James Mcavoy was hot. Christine had played it off as nothing, but with everyone thinking one thing it definitely made her think.
"Who knows, if he is more power to him. Well I'm going to grab some clothes and head over to Christine's I'll see you guys later" Rick picked his stack of books back up and headed into his bedroom. He emerged only moments later with a bag and headed out of the door.
Edward and I finished off what we could eat then stuck the leftovers into the fridge and I started to do all the dirty dishes that laid in the sick. "Love, you do realize that you don't have to do mine and my roommates dishes. Especially Todd's" he made a disgusted face as he picked up a pan that Todd used to make some sort of food in that was caked in hardened grease as well as whatever it was he cooked. And on top of that it definitely smelled pretty gross.
"Eww" I said with a chuckle as I continued to wash the rest of the dishes.
"Bella stop, you go get cozy in my room and pick out a movie or something and I'll do the dishes"
"But----"
"No Buts'" He pushed me out of the way and pressed a soft kiss on my temple before he started to take over washing the dishes. "Now go pick out a movie, or we don't even have to watch a movie" He gave me a quick wink and I instantly felt the wetness between my legs, oh I was going to get him.
I headed into his room and decided to throw on some pajamas, even though I had a pretty good feeling that would be off rather quickly. I grabbed a pair of boxers I had once inquired from Edward, a tank top and my Sarah Lawrence sweatshirt. I climbed into Edward's bed and curled up in the corner by the wall and started to flip through one of his text books. I didn't bother to look up when I heard him enter the room, but I knew he was watching me.
"You changed?" There was a slight sadness in his voice as he shut his bedroom door and locked it, before coming over and sitting down next to me on the bed, "I wanted to take your clothes off of you" He said huskily as his breath hovered over my ear.
"Edward" I moaned softly as a reaction, "You can still remove these clothes"
"Very true" He smirked as he reached over and pulled the textbook out of my grasp and threw it to the floor. Before I could even make a comment about how I was reading that his lips were on mine. Edward and I had a handful of kisses we have shared, soft and delicate to passionate and lustful. This was just around the passionate and lustful zone. "You are so beautiful.." he whispered against my lips as he placed his hands on my hips and guided me onto his lap, "I am so grateful to have met you Isabella"
"I'm the grateful one.." I brought my hands into his hair as I began to press pepper kisses along his jaw line receiving heavenly sighs from his lips. It wasn't hard to feel his arousal as it grew beneath me and pressed against my own. Our lips met again as his hands slowly moved up until they came to the bottom of my sweatshirt and he slowly started to put it up. We only broke the kiss momentarily to remove it and discard it to a forming pile on the floor.
Soon enough I was left in my pants and tank top, while Edward was left in his shirt and boxers. We didn't really care what was left, all we knew was that our bodies were craving one another's. He reached down between us, his fingers gliding over my already soaked panties. "You're so wet baby" Edward moaned as his lips moved down to my exposed chest, his tongue running along the collar of my tank top.
"Edward.. Please" I groaned as I started to rub myself against him, trying to find some friction.
"I can't wait to be inside you" He whispered into my ear before he began to nibble on my earlobe, causing another low moan to escape from my lips. He lifted me up and hooked his thumbs into my panties and slowly, possibly too slowly pulled them down my legs and threw them into the pile of clothes on his floor. While I still hovered in the air over him he took the chance to remove his own boxers and threw them onto the floor. "Oh baby"
I licked my lips as Edward grabbed onto my hips and guided me down on his shaft, both of us letting us hisses of pleasure from the contact. We shifted slightly so he was on his back as I rode him wildly. Both of us wanting and needing the release our bodies so yearned for. We had all the time in the word to take it slow later on.
"F-fuck I'm so c-close" Edward gritted threw his teeth as he thrashed his head from side to side. This only caused me to move faster, my own release building up within me. And soon enough we both let our orgasms wash over us as we rode them out moaning each other's names.
After going two more rounds we eventually fell into a deep sleep and woke up around ten the next morning. We decided to spend the day around the city before it got too cold that we'd never want to go outside. Which wouldn't be a totally bad thing, if you know what I mean? I made us a quick breakfast, and then we got dressed, and headed out of the apartment around twelve.
We decided to spend the day being tourists, even though we had both lived in New York for the last two years and had made sure to see most of the city. We still tended to enjoy just acting like tourists and enjoying the sights. Time Square was the first on our list, we hit Madam Toussaudswax museum first, before reeking terror in Toys R Us. Four floors of toys, who wouldn't have fun, but we always ended up spending more time in the candy area. Afterwards we grabbed some lunch at Hard Rock Café due to Edward's request even though I was extremely fine getting hot dogs from a street vendor.
While we were in Hard Rock Café looking over our menus on what we were going to get Edward dropped the bomb, "So when were you going to tell me Rose thought she was pregnant?"
I looked up from the menu, my eyes wide, "Wha..?"
He chuckled and reached over for his soda, "Well a few days after Rosalie headed back to Seattle your brother called me to have a man to man talk and shared with me that the reason Rose freaked was she thought she was pregnant and came here because she needed her too best friends but apparently she wasn't pregnant"
I nodded, "Oh"
"Yeah, Emmett asked if you had told me and I said no you said that whatever happened that weekend wasn't really your place to say at the time which I completely understand. Your brother figured though by now you wouldn't spilled it to me" He put his soda back down, "I was just waiting"
"I just.. I didn't"
"Bella it's fine" he laughed again as he reached over and took his hand in mine, "But if it were you Rose's position I would hope you would tell me and not disappear half way across the country in the middle of the night"
I nodded, "Edward of course I would tell you… I just don't think I would be ready for that right now"
"Understandable. But if you were, I would be by you through everything" he leaned over and gave me a quick kiss but pulled away as our waiter walked up to take our order.
After dinner we decided to walk around for a little while before grabbing some Starbucks and heading back to Edward's apartment. Half way through the walk Edward kept looking like he was trying to say something, but every time he would start he'd go off onto a completely different topic that seemed to have nothing in common with what he was originally trying to say. But then finally he spit it out, "Bella I know we've slightly talked about it this before, but I really would like us to move in together"
I let out a groan as I took a sip of my hot chocolate, it wasn't that I didn't want in with Edward eventually, "Edward it would be an annoyance to do that right now."
He shook his head, obviously disappointed at my response, "I don't know why you think that."
"Why do I think that?" I shook my head, "Our schools are a half hour from each other and like that's not a big deal but you go to the school in the city, we'd have to take trains and subways and do you realize how annoying that we be and how much money that would cost at least one of us…"
"Yeah but then we'd be saving money instead of having to pay for the apartments at school and can put it into our own apartment. And I wouldn't make you travel far, I'd get an apartment in Bronxville---"
I cut him off as he reached his place, "Edward not now, maybe next year or something"
"Of course, Bella if you don't want to live with me just tell me okay?" He snapped at me and I decided to stay quiet the whole walk up to his apartment. Once we got inside and I threw my cup out and walked into his room slamming the door behind me and slipped my pajamas on.
When I came out a few minutes later Edward was on the couch flipping through the channels, "Don't you dare say that I don't want to live with you, because I do Edward! Hell I wanted to live with you the day we graduated high school I just don't think it's fair that we'd have to put ourselves through all that stress of commuting on top of the amount of work we are getting into with our classes"
He just stayed quiet, most likely unsure what to say. I knew I wasn't being completely fair, and probably being quite selfish over the situation. Edward had brought up the proposition once before but I told him it probably wasn't a good idea at the moment, but he never pushed it beyond that. I wanted to live with Edward, I wanted more than anything to wake up next to him everyday. But having to commute everyday was going to be unfair to once of us. I knew it wasn't foreign, a lot of people commuted to school, especially to the city. But the last thing I wanted to do was put more on Edward's plate when he still had so much time invested in school. I had briefly talked to Alice over what I would do when I graduated next year and I was really considering moving in with Edward. I just didn't know why I couldn't say yes now? I clearly was being childish.
Edward and I barely spoke the rest of the time I was there. We both knew it was a stupid fight to not speak to over, but wasn't that what couples did? Fight over the dumbest things then avoid each other like the plague for hours. I decided to head home early the next day, and I figured Edward wasn't even going to bring me the station, but he surprised me. We didn't bring up the whole moving in thing again but we were at least saying a few words here and there. He even walked me onto the train and gave me a breathtaking kiss before getting off.
I spent the whole train thinking about things. Maybe I was acting like I did because I was stressed with school at the moment? I was taking a class every day of the week, basically trying to take whatever I could. Next semester, if I wanted, I could lighten my load…or not. I mean maybe next school year I could move in with him. Not having so many classes, I just would have to figure that out.
As soon as I walked into the door my phone rang and it was Edward, "Hello?"
"I'm sorry, I am such an asshole. I'm an idiot, why are you even with me??"
I sighed as I threw my bags into my room and threw myself on my bed, "You aren't an asshole, or an idiot. And I am with you because I love you more than anything"
"I didn't mean to piss you off, I just want to wake up next to you every morning, I hate when we have to leave each other after our visits. And then today we were both moody we didn't even have a proper goodbye"
I couldn't help but giggle, "Well that kiss you gave me was pretty proper"
"I just needed to kiss you.. Please don't be mad at me Bella. If you don't want to live with me I understand"
"Edward I do want to live with you, I just think we need to see where this semester ends with our schedules and such. But never think I don't want to live with you okay?"
"Okay, I love you. I almost got onto the train after you…"
"That would have been nice.."
"Okay good, because I'm on my way back to the station now. I figured I should at least grab some clothes. I highly doubt it be good if I go to class tomorrow smelling"
"You're coming here?" I sat up and peeled my jacket off.
"Mhmm, as long as you want me to of course"
"I love you Edward"
"I love you too Isabella, I'll be there in a little over a half hour. I'm really sorry I was such an ass again"
"See you soon, bye" I hung up and decided to head into the kitchen to grab a soda. When I got there Michelle and Nancy were leaning on the counter in the middle of some discussion.
"What are you doing home already? I figured you wouldn't be home till tonight or tomorrow"
"Edward and I got into some stupid argument last night and I ended up leaving in the morning" I went over to the fridge and grabbed myself a drink.
Michelle shook her head, "You and Edward are like too perfect to fight"
"I highly doubt anyone is too perfect to fight" Nancy said with a chuckle, "Is everything all right?"
"Yeah" I said with a nod, "He actually just called to say sorry and is on his way here now"
"Really?" Michelle sighed, "I wish my boyfriend would do that after a fight. What happened?"
"It was really my fault" I took a sip of my drink, "Edward asked me to move in with him and I told him it was not a good idea"
"Isn't that the guys reaction using?" Nancy blurted out causing her to get a slap on the arm from Michelle, "Ow, sorry. Do you not want to live with him?"
"No of course I do, I just think we have too much on our plates at this very moment to do it this semester, maybe next or next year. I mean I plan on living with him eventually"
However, the question when wasn't one that I would be able to answer for quite some time.

A/N: Well I hope you all liked the chapter and there will certainly be more talk of a possible moving in again in the future. Although there is no telling if the outcome will be a good one as of yet. Anyway I had a terrible week, actually I'm entering my third terrible week and there is so much shit going down I just need to escape. So I will try and focus everything into writing the upcoming chapters and I already have a couple ideas and hope you all enjoy them as well.
But on the amazing plus side I just got home from see He's Just Not That In You . You should all see it definitely a must see. And I'm very finicky with movies.
Thanks for all the great reviews they make me as happy as a little girl at Disney World. Keep em coming!
