Sleep was anything but peaceful last night. Every dream I had, had something to do with Bella. They were so vivid, as if she was actually beside me. I woke up for possibly the hundredth time around eight o'clock. This time I decided that it really wasn't worth attempting to sleep again, mainly because I had a bad case of morning wood. I stretched and walked to my bathroom. I started the water and jumped in. As the warm water washed over my body, my thoughts once again drifted to Bella, which did nothing for my current situation.

I grabbed my shaft in my hand and pumped it with a fury. I thought of Bella, this time really focusing. The way she smelt, the way she blushed, her tiny mouth on me. Minutes later I exploded, panting I cleaned myself off and got out of the shower.

It was only 8:30 but I decided that I might as well head to work now, seeing as sleep was not an option and I needed something to distract me. I'd be early, but that was nothing new for me. I went outside and walked swiftly to my Volvo. As the engine roared to life I did my best not to think of anything besides the road. I crancked the music up high and made it to work with fifteen minutes to spare before my shift actually began. I went in side and sat in the breakroom, watching the minutes tick bye.

Sleep was not the easiest thing to come by last night, but I wasn't exactly going to complain. Every dream I had focused on Edward, or me and Edward, and as hard as I tried to just sleep, it wasn't possible. I think the main problem was that they were so vivid. It was as if I could actually feel him touch me, could smell him next to me. It was crazy, and of course it made sleep a difficulty.

I rolled over for what seemed like the thousandth time and decided, it now being nine o'clock, that I might as well get up and accept that today was going to be a long day. I slowly made my way to the bathroom, strated the warm water and jumped into the shower. As the water poured over my body, my thoughts once again strayed to Edward and the crazy conclusion that I had drawn yesterday. I knew it was crazy, he was my best friends brother, and I wasn't even his girlfriend, but I couldn't deny that he evoked a feeling in me that no other ever had. It was hard to be away from him, and yet whenever I saw him, I felt as though I couldn't breath. It was crazy the effect he was having on me and yet, I couldn't deny that it felt like love.

I got out of the shower and quickly dried my hair, throwing on a new pair of trackpants and a sweater, not really caring how good I looked today. I went downstairs and decided to occupy myself by starting a homemade pot of sauce for dinner tonight. I chopped the onions and garlic, defrosted the meat and opened the cans of tomatoes, mixed it all together and added some spices. When everything was in and simmering away I went back up to my room. grabbed my homework and went back down to the kitchen table. Thankfully my course load was fairly easy and homework was never the grueling task it had been in Phoenix.

I must have really been focused because I didn't even hear Charlie pull up. But there he stood in the kitchen doorway staring at me

"Oh hey Dad" I said, a little suprised

"Hey Bells" he said with a smile "Something smells good"

"Dinner" I said "What time is it anyway?"

"Around two. Why?" he asked

"Two? Seriously?" I said

"Yeah" he said with a chuckle

"Wow I guess I was more focused then I thought" I said

"How long you been at that" he asked, motioning toward the stack of books around me

"Since about 10 thins morning" I said

"Jeez Bells" he said "Ever heard of taking a break?"

"Oh ha ha Dad" I said "Besides better to get it down right?"

"Yeah I guess" he said, knowing I was right "I'll be watching the game if you need me 'kay?"

"Sure" I said

As Charlie made his way into the living room, I got up, stretched and turned off the sauce. I set the alarm on the little clock for 4:30p so I could come back down and have dinner down for fiveish. I packed up my books and poked my head into the kiving room.

"I'll be in my room dad." I said "Call me if I don't come down when the alarm goes off in the kitchen ok?"

"Sure thing Bells" he said, his eyes never leaving the screen.

I made my way upstairs, closing my door behind me. As if it had been waiting until I was alone, by phone started buzzing as I sat down on my bed.
