A/N Hey sorry about the long wait, here you go.

Thanks to TIggrmommi and I do not own.

dreamt of nothing but Edward all night long. These dreams weren't particularly PG-13 and I rushed from my bed and into the shower before my mom woke up. My skin was clammy from the thoughts that filled my mind. In my dream Edward had been touching my body everywhere. He left no area uncharted and I was putty in his capable hands. I woke up covered in sweat and my body was throbbing with desire. I took an ice cold shower. I had to calm down if there was any hope of me not jumping him as soon as I saw him this morning.

A knock on the bathroom door brought me back to the present.

"Bella, you've been in there for over an hour. We're going to miss our bus," I turned off the water and got out of the shower. I was happy to see that my face was back to its normal color. There was a slight blue tint from the temperature of the water but at least I wasn't flushed all over anymore. I got dressed quickly and let my mom into the bathroom. She closed the door and started the shower immediately. She stuck her head out the door as I was finishing zipping up my luggage.

"Oh Edward called about 20 minutes ago to say that he would be waiting for you downstairs for breakfast," I was out the door before she even finished talking. The elevator was taking so long so I took the stairs instead. I opened up the door panting for breath and looked around hoping that I hadn't missed him.

I frantically searched the room thinking that he had given up waiting for me and he was gone. Then I found one last table in the corner and saw him sitting there reading a book. He looked up as if he sensed my approach and stood up to greet me. He gathered me in his arms and kissed me soundly on the lips. All of my memories from my dream came flashing back to me and I returned his kiss deepening it to a degree that wasn't quite acceptable for the middle of a restaurant. The sound of someone clearing their throat made us jump apart and we sat down at the table.

"Hungry," he asked and he pushed a granola bar my way. "I'll get you more of course but I'm not sure what you like to eat in the morning."

We really didn't know a whole lot about each other but it really didn't matter.

"This is fine thanks. I really don't eat a lot in the morning," he watched me while I ate the granola bar as if the simple fact of me eating intrigued him. I finished up quickly and we made our way to the front of the hotel with the other guests who were waiting to board the bus. Alice joined us and we made our plans for the day. We only had a few stops today so we would need something on the bus to occupy our time. The thoughts that I was having certainly weren't appropriate for a public location so I went along with Alice's plan to play cards. It seemed like a better way to pass the time. Well maybe not better but definitely more acceptable.

We spent the few remaining stops with Alice and I came to realize that although Edward wasn't shy I understood why people might think that when comparing him with Alice. She was so vibrant and never stood still. She was always going from one place to another and never seemed to run out of energy. Edward caught me staring at her on more than one occasion.

"When we were five I tried to use a screwdriver to remove her batteries one night."

"What?! You have to be kidding me," I couldn't imagine where a five year old would think that batteries might be placed.

"No, I couldn't find an off button so I went to the next option. I wasn't really sure how solar power worked or else I might have just locked her in the closet. I didn't get too far though. My parents were on to me pretty quickly when I walked by them in my pajamas and went out to the garage. They followed me just long enough to try to see what I was doing and took it away before any damage could be done." Tears were streaming down my face I was laughing so hard.

Alice chose that moment to rejoin us and rolled her eyes. "So I have a lot of energy, I don't understand why everyone makes such a big deal about it."

"Well no one would probably make a big deal out of it if you would just keep your energy to yourself. You are the one who insists on going to your friends houses at 5 in the morning to rearrange their closets or make them breakfast just because."

I had to sit down because my sides were hurting from laughing. I could barely catch my breath. They had to almost carry me to the bus and every time I looked at them I started laughing again.

"That's enough Bella. Either you stop or I start asking Renee for stories from your childhood. I'm sure there has to be some gems," Alice leaned over like she was about to tap Renee on the shoulder and I immediately stopped.

"I'd keep an eye on her. She's a sneaky one and I speak from years of experience," he saw Alice now glaring in his direction and immediately shut up.

We were headed back to Athens now and so we had a much longer bus trip ahead of us. I shared Edward's earbuds and we listened to music. We played cards with Alice and I tried to read some magazines. Edward did his best to distract me whenever I attempted this. He would rub my leg or kiss my neck and whisper into my ear whenever I started so I decided to talk to him the majority of the time. Talking didn't turn into much else since we were on a bus with quite a few other people.

"Tonight we are going to dinner. Just me and you," he looked into my eyes and used his fingers to move my hair out of my face.

"That sounds wonderful," he kissed my hand and we went back to playing cards with Alice. Finally the bus pulled back into Athens and we all got into our respective cabs to head back to our hotel.

"Bella, I just want you to know that I won't be lonely if you want to get away with Edward while we are here. I have plenty to keep me occupied and I want you to enjoy the time you have with him," I never gave my mom as much credit as she deserved.

"Thanks mom, I really am not trying to abandon you," I squeezed her hand.

"Bella enjoy yourself. You are only young once and I remember what it was like to feel that way. Why do you think I married your father? Everyone needs to experience that no matter how it ends up," she patted my leg and got out of the cab as we pulled into the hotel. The bellhop helped unload our luggage and I saw Edward waiting for us in the lobby. Renee followed my glance and pushed me on my way. "Go have fun sweetheart. Don't worry about me." I gave her a quick hug and ran to Edward's waiting arms.

"What would you like to do tonight?" Did he really think that I cared? As long as I was with him I would be happy.

"I'm up for anything," he smiled in response.

"Anything? Really now," I felt my face warming up and he smiled at me. "No really do you mind if I planned a surprise?"

I couldn't deny him anything when he looked at me and blinked those long lashes. I forgot all rational thought.

"No, I don't mind at all," I hope that it made sense when I said it because in my mind it sounded like mush.

"Okay then you go upstairs and rest and meet me back down here in 2 hours," he leaned down and kissed me quickly on the lips. He walked over to the elevators and pressed the button while I waited for my mom. I watched him until the elevators carried him away. I didn't even notice that my mom had walked up.

"Looks like someone has a hot date tonight," I almost jumped when she started talking.

"Mom you can't just sneak up on me," but I couldn't be mad at her. I couldn't be mad at anyone in the mood I was in. I walked with my mom to the elevator and we headed up to our room. There was no way that I would be able to sleep so I took a shower and went through my luggage to try and figure out what to wear. I had no idea what we were doing and I didn't know if I needed to dress up or if casual would be okay. Well seeing as how I hadn't brought any dress up clothes since I only planned on taking a bus through Greece I quickly decided a light blue sundress. I tried to take my time getting ready but it is rather hard when you have no make-up and your hair only requires a quick run thru with a brush.

I looked at the clock and realized that I still had 20 minutes until I was supposed to meet him so I decided to kill time by reading the hotel magazine. Even though it seemed like time was going backwards finally the time had arrived and I made my way downstairs. I pushed the button for the elevator and then ran back to my room to grab a light sweater just in case we spent a lot of time outside. My mom gave me a thumbs up and I ran out the door.

I tried my best to not rub my sweaty palms on my dress as the elevator made its way down to the lobby. I don't know why I was nervous I had spent every waking hour with him but for some reason this felt different. The elevator dinged and I walked out and scanned the lobby for him. My heart was beating wildly in my chest as I walked out on the plush carpet. I began to panic when I couldn't find him but then we noticed each other at the same time. He had on tight fitting black jeans and a black t shirt that molded to his body. I couldn't pull my eyes away from him.

A smile lit up his face and he made his way to me. He was holding a small bouquet of wild flowers and he handed them to me while he placed a kiss on my cheek.

"You look amazing," he held my hand above my head and told me to spin in a circle so that he could get the entire effect of my dress. I felt a little foolish but I complied and his words of appreciation made the whole thing much easier too. When I completed my rotation he kissed me on the tip of the nose and pulled me over to the couch to sit down.

"I know that this might seem odd but I ordered dinner to be sent up to my room. Please feel free to say no. I'm not doing this to pressure you or anything it is just that we have so little time together left that I don't want to share you with anyone," he raised my hand to his lips and kissed each finger one at a time. I forced myself to focus on something other than the sensations rushing through my body and answer his question. Was I ready to be alone in a room with him? As I looked at his face I thought I knew the answer.

More coming soon. Thank you everyone for reading.
