There was a sort of fog that refused to allow my eyes to open but I still wanted to open them. So with great effort I opened my eyes only to shut them again when they were attacked by the light from the window. Pulling the covers over my head I sighed. I knew I shouldn't of let Alice buy me them drinks. How many time would I have to wake up with the hang over from hell to stop me from drinking? Slowly I pulled back the cover squinting against the light. It was only then that I realised that I wasn't in my room. In fact I wasn't even in my flat. Did I go home with someone? Looking around for any clues that would lead me to where I was. I finally spotted a picture on the draws to the left of the bed. It was of Alice and Edward with two other people I didn't know. I guessed they were their parents. Taking a deep breath I decided that I must be in Edwards flat. I'd been here before but not in his bed room. It was how I imagined it to be. Clean but lived in. The bed was extremely comfy. Oh my god! I was in his bed. Did I do something with him? No, Edward wouldn't do something like that. Would he? No of course not. I took the covers off to find me in a college top and a pair of joggers. I smiled at how they were miles to long for me. I rolled them over at the top and then stood up only to fall back down. My head hurt way to much. This time I took a deep breath and slowly stood up. When I was sure I had as much balance as possible I headed towards the door. I opened it to find a hall way of doors. I walked down to the kitchen to find Edward sat down with a coffee and a paper. When he spotted me he smiled.

"Good morning" he grinned at me

"What is so good about it?" I sighed sitting down next to him

"The sun is out" he tried

"That's not a good thing. Not when you have the hangover from hell" I complained

"Painkiller?" Edward asked getting up and walking to a cupboard

"Please" I said leaning my head on my arms. He returned a moment later with a tablet and a glass of water. "Thank you"

"Nice outfit" Edward grinned

"Thanks its quite nice. So what exactly happened last night? I remember Jasper and Rose and dancing after that nothing?" I asked Edward

"Well you drank some more we danced some more. Then we headed home you insisted on walking and considering you lived an hour away I decided it would be much easier for you and everyone if you just stayed here. So we got here you laughed and tripped and then you realised you had nothing to wear so I got you some of my old clothes and then you sort of fell asleep so I left you to sleep in my bed and I took the guest room" Edward explained as if it was nothing.

"Oh my God! I am so sorry! You should of woke me up and kicked me to the guest room" I told him. I felt bad that I'd kicked him out of his bed.

"No its fine really! Anyway you were out for the count plus you looked way to comfy on that bed" Edward shrugged

"Well if your sure. Plus that bed is really comfy" I grinned

"Well then maybe I'll have to get you back into it sometime" Edward winked and walked into the living room.

This triggered my blush to appear. He was constantly saying things like that. I just took it as a joke but something told me I didn't want it to be a joke. I'd been like this with guys before but never wanted anything more out of it but with Edward it was different. I decided to look around Edwards flat. I walked out into the living room and it was a nice size. It had a flat screen TV on the wall and the sofa opposite of it. There was a case full of DVD's and games for the Xbox that sat on top. There were some shelves with stuff on and photos hung from the walls. The photos were all of family and I guessed some friends. His university degree sat on the shelf which is something that made me smile. It was nice to see that he was proud of himself. I headed down the hall and looked into a room. It had a bed in it and I knew it must be the guest room. It was very plain but homely at the same time. Across from that was the bathroom I knew that. I went to the next room and found it to be a study. There was a desk with a computer sat on it. A few books and bits. Everything you'd expect to be in a office. The door to the room opposite was closed and I didn't want to intrude. My curiosity was getting the best of me. But I decided against it I would not intrude on Edwards privacy. Just as I turned to head back to the living room. I noticed Edward leaning against the wall starring at me.

"I err... was just looking around" I mumbled

"Its fine. So not going to look in my favourite room of the house. I think you'll like it" Edward said walking up to the door that was closed. He opened it and what I saw was differentially something I liked. I walked in the room and looked around. On the wall opposite the door was a large window with a seat but that was not what caught my attention. It was the book selves that were all around the room. The whole wall space was filmed with shelves that reached to the ceiling and each was filled with books. The selves on the door wall held CD's. It was amazing. There must have been hundreds of books and CD's. I agreed with Edward this was differently my favourite room too. "Do you like it?" Edward asked

"I love it! This is amazing Edward. If I ever imagined heaven it would look like this" I stated running my hand down the shelves of books.

"Yeah me too. I always loved reading books when I was younger and decided that why not give my hobby its own room. So with some help from Emmett we got these selves up and I just added books. I'd go out to a shop and there'd be a book and I'd want to read it or they'd be two but I wanted both. So I'd buy them and put them on the shelves and then I'd read them when I had free time or when I fancied it. It also meant I could go back to them whenever I wanted." Edward explained

"This is something I'd always dreamed about having in my house. I mean when I was married and all. Its beautiful" I grinned "What about the music?"

"Now that's another passion of mine. The Piano wouldn't fit in the room so I had to make do with the CD's. I just happen to collect them as I grew up. There's a big selection" Edward grinned

"You play the piano?" I asked amazed could this guy get any more amazing!

"Yeah since I was six. It was a great way to express myself" Edward told me

"That's amazing. Can you possibly suck at anything?" I joked

"I'm far from perfect Bella" Edward assured me

"When I see it I'll believe it" I laughed. It was then I noticed the guitar in the corner "You play guitar as well?"

"Yeah it was something I picked up on when I went to university. My room mate was a guitarist. He taught me." Edward smirked

"I've always wanted to learn to play one but never had the time" I told him

"Well maybe I'll teach you someday" Edward smiled "Well I'm going for a shower feel free to stay in here and read whatever catches your eye"

"Okay thank you" I smiled walking over to the shelves.

I was so happy that Bella liked the library it was something that I had fallen in love with. It was a place I could go and close away the world when it all became to much. I could escape into an imaginary world. A world with stories full of love and happiness as well as danger. Since I could remember I always had a love for books. From the classics to the most modern. I liked anything that allowed me to get away from the stress of life. I jumped in the shower with a smile on my face. If I didn't know that I had feelings for Bella before I did now. She liked what I liked and she truly was great company. Last night when Bella had passed out on my bed I was tempted to join her but decided it best not too. I needed to talk to Alice about it but without Bella. I'd have to invite Alice out for lunch soon. When I was finished in the shower I made sure the towel was securely tied round my hips before heading towards my bedroom to grab some clothes. I peaked into the library and saw Bella sitting on the window seat emerged in a book. A smile playing on her lips. She had tied her hair up into a ponytail but she still wore the clothes I gave her last night. I pulled my eyes away from her and headed to the bed room. Bella must have made the bed because it looked like it hadn't been slept in. I walked over to the wardrobe and grabbed a grey vest top and a pair of jeans. Once I was dressed I headed back down to the kitchen. Passing the library again I saw that Bella hadn't moved. That's when the phone rang. I walked down to the kitchen to answer it.

"Hello"

"Hey Bro. How are you on this fine morning?"

"I'm good what's got you in such a good mood?"

"Can't a girl just be happy? Hows Bella?"

"She's fine. She's in the library at the moment reading"

"Why doesn't that surprise me? Anyway what's going on with you and Bella? Don't even bother denying it. I know you like her"

"Alice of course I like her she's amazing. She likes things I like. She makes me smile by just being there. It's just so weird that I've known her just over a week and I've fallen for her harder than I ever have before"

"You know if you had told me that before last night I probably would of said your stupid you can't have that strong feelings for someone you've just met. However now I know that just because you haven't known them that long doesn't mean that you can't have feeling for them. Time just allows those feelings to grow"

"Alice? Did something happen with Jasper last night?"

"If you mean did we have sex, no. We sat up all night talking. It was amazing. We're going out tonight again"

"Wow! Alice that's great"

"Back on topic bro what are you going to do about my Bella?"

"What do you think I should do?"

"I think you should let her stay again tonight. I'll call her and tell her that you said she can stay there again tonight because Jasper will be spending the night. Then just have a night in order pizza, watch some films and see what happens"

"You sound so sure of yourself"

"I know Bella and I know she likes you. She told me herself. You just need the confidence to get her"

"Thanks Alice"

"No problem bro. Don't forget that were going to see mum and dad tomorrow."

"I won't"

"I'll be over later to drop of Bella's things"

"Okay Bye"

"Bye"

I was extremely happy to know that Alice was all right with my feelings for Bella. I decided considering it was midday to make some lunch for me and Bella. I kept it simple just making a sandwhich out of whatever I had. I headed down to the library and found Bella book still in hand laying on the window seat. I grinned. She was so in to the book that she didn't even notice me come in the room. I slowly lowered the sandwich down to her line of sight and she jumped a bit and then looked up at me. I smiled.

"Hey thought I'd bring you some lunch" I told her

"Thanks. Sorry when I read I sort of go into a completely different world and forget about reality" Bella explained taking the sandwich

"Don't worry about it. I know what its like to get caught up in a world so much better than the real one" I grinned

"If I knew that someone shared my love of books I would of moved to England years ago" Bella smiled

"If I knew I'd of found you I would of joined Alice in college" I replied

"I think college would have been more fun with you there. Although I'd doubt you'd think the same of me if you had. Not with all the girls. There really was some beautiful girls there" Bella doubted

"Well, I know for sure there's only one girl that would of caught my eye" I smirked

Just as Bella was about to argue we heard her phone go off in the other room. I nodded telling her it was fine to go. She walked off into the bedroom where her bag was. I heard a murmur of words and guessed that it was Alice that had called Bella. I headed back out of the library and back to the kitchen picking up my sandwich and taking a bite. I decided to watch some TV knowing Alice no doubt was going to tell Bella every detail of what happened last night.

BPOV

I answered the phone to a very joyful Alice which was weird considering hungover Alice was normally not even out of bed yet. I soon found out the reason for her happiness, Jasper! Apparently they had spent the whole night at the flat talking. She was smitten already and she didn't care what people thought. I was happy for her. Any guy that can keep up with Alice is differently a great guy. It was when she told me that he was taking her out tonight that she pulled the sweet voice better known as the I need a massive favour voice.

"What is it you want me to do?"

"Well I've already asked Edward and he's fine with it. I was wondering if you could stay there again tonight? Just in case Jasper ends up back here. I wouldn't want you to feel awkward. I'll bring some stuff over for you."

"Alice"

"Please! I know you're enjoying yourself especially because you've now found the library. But even before that you were happy to be in Edwards company. Maybe tonight you two can finally stop the flirting you've been doing since you met each other and do something about the feelings that are so obviously there"

"Alice. Please don't do this to me. Don't get my hopes up. I like this thing with Edward. This friendship"

"But you want more?"

"Of course I want more. I mean you'd have to be blind not to want more with him."

"Then why not go for it?"

"Because have you seen me Alice! The only time I ever look any what good enough to be in the same room as him is when you've dressed me up! It just doesn't happen. Someone like Edward deserves so much better than me"

"Bella! If I was there I'd slap you! You never see what everyone else does! In college all the boys wanted you! Your beautiful Bella! Your just naturally beautiful! The clothes and make up just enhance that. You need to see this! If anything Edward isn't good enough for you! Your an amazing person! Edward can see that and for once you see something you like! You need to stop being scared and go for it!"

"Are you sure I'm not going to bugger all this up?"

"If you don't try you'll never know"

"I'm trusting you Alice"

"If anything goes wrong I will kill him with my bare hands"

"So when are you dropping the stuff off?"

"I'm just round the corner be with you soon"

"How did you know I'd agree?"

"I had a feeling"

"Okay Alice see you soon"

EPOV

Alice had been and gone but not before insisting I did something about my feelings for Bella tonight or I would no longer be a boy. So I decided that I would love to keep my manhood and do something about my feelings. At this point I was in my office checking my E-mails. Bella was in the living room looking through the pizza menu. Seeing there was nothing really important in my emails I shut it down and headed into the living room. Bella was currently in her own pyjamas that Alice had dropped off. I'd taken Alice's advice and decided on a night in with her. I had changed into some pyjama pants and a vest top. I had brought in a spare cover and some pillows and thrown them on the floor. Bella thought it was funny that I wanted to have a proper sleepover apparently only girls did that. My reply was i'm just in touch with my feminine side. She laughed and said it was nice to meet a guy that didn't care if he was being a bit girly. I walked into the kitchen and got some wine and two glasses.

"Now I don't remember having that at some of my highschool sleepovers" Bella smiled taking a glass off me

"There wasn't boys at these sleepover either" I countered

"True" She smiled sipping some wine. She then crossed her legs and grinned at me "Sit down. I want to play 20 questions"

"If you wish" I complied sitting down coping her positions

"Okay. As we already know lots of stuff about each other so this 20 questions is different than a normal one. Its a chance to ask more deeper stuff than your favourite colour or food" Bella explained

"Okay, You start" I smiled

"You told me earlier you played the piano what's your favourite song to play?" She started of early

"Its a song I wrote for my mum but the song I'm composing at the moment seem to be taking over" I replied

"Wow! When did you start writing your own songs?" she continued

"I started writing when I was 15 playing around. It was only when mothers day was coming up and I really wanted to thank my mum for everything she's done for me. So I decided I'd write her a song. I spent everyday up till mothers day in my room sorting it out. So when mothers day came Alice and me made her breakfast like normal gave her the cards and then when we were dressed we all came downstairs to the living room and give her the gifts. Alice got her some photo thing and she loved it. Then it was my turn and I went over to the piano and played this song that I wrote. Hoping she'd love it and she did. At first she didn't realise I'd wrote it myself but when she asked what the song was called I said Esme and she burst into tears. Alice hated me after that she's constantly trying out do me with that. I wrote a few more songs after that but it was always my best. I had such a great inspiration and I haven't found anyone or thing thats inspired me as much so I stopped writing when I headed off to university and only had time to start composing again." I explained

"So what's inspired you this time?" Bella asked

"That's 3 questions when its my turn" I grinned. I really didn't want to tell her that it was in fact her that was inspiring me to write.

"Okay your turn" She smiled

"Why do you believe that you are ordinary?" I questioned

"Ahh. I already had this conversation with Alice!" She complained

"I know you think your ordinary but there's got to be a reason behind it" I tried

"Fine. At first it was just you know normal oh that girls prettier than me. But then I hit high school. That's when I met Lauren. The queen bee at school. She use to say stuff about me and I know I shouldn't of let it get to me but in the end when some one says something to you enough it sort of just makes you believe it." Bella sighed

"Bella you must of known the reason? She's jealous. I bet half the guys in that school wanted you." I comforted

"How do you know?" Bella asked. She looked so vulnerable

"Cause I would of" I replied. Bella looked at me with a blush on her cheeks but she didn't hide it like normal. It was then that the pizza man decided to make his entrance. The knock on the door made me smile "I'll be right back" I told her grabbing my wallet off the coffee table as I went. I paid the pizza man and headed back into the living room placed the pizza between me and Bella. She grabbed a piece and bit into it. I smiled and copied her. I turned the television on and flicked through the channels till I found one that was okay. As we ate we continued to ask questions. Bella had one question left and so did I. She was taking it seriously. By this point we were filled up on wine and just a tiny bit tipsy.

"Okay I have it! How many girlfriends have you had?" She asked

"That took you so long to think of" I laughed

"Just answer the question" She argued

"I've had about 12 girlfriends but only one of them was of any real meaning. The others were just fun for a while nothing serious." I answered

"Who was the serious relationship with?" She asked

"Tanya. She was a friend of the family and everyone expected us to get together so we did. It lasted over a year but in the end I broke it off. It just wasn't right. I was with her because thats what everyone expected to happen. Yeah I was happy but not in love and I don't think I ever would of" I explained

"So you believe in love?" she questioned

"Well yeah. Don't you?" I replied

"I don't know. I hope there is such thing. I'm starting to believe there is" She smiled at me

"And what could be changing your mind?" I grinned

"Somebody might have caught my eye" She smirked

"Can I be honest with you Bella" I asked

"Is that your final question?" she challenged

"Yeah" I replied

"Then yeah be honest" She smiled

"I have more than friendly feelings for you?" I admitted

"What do you mean by that?" she asked looking down

"Come on Bella! You've got to of figured it out and if you haven't Alice must have told you. Bella I'm fine at the moment with just being friends but I just thought I'd let you know that so you know my intentions." I stated standing up and heading to the kitchen. I really didn't know what to do after telling her. I mean I couldn't just sit there. I didn't want to pressure her into anything so I left her to think. I leaned against the counter and sighed. Had I really done the right thing? It felt good to know that she knew. So it was the right thing.

"Edward" I heard called behind me. I turned expecting her to be at the doorway but found her right behind. "Before I do this I just need to know one thing. If this works out what's going to happen when I have to go back to America in a year?"

"Well we'll come to that bridge when we have too" I replied looking hopeful.

"Good" She replied and then she kissed me! She actually kissed me. "Oops I forgot to tell you. I have more than friendly feelings for you too" She grinned

"I would never of guessed" I sighed kissing her again.
