A/N: So I'm munchin' on some Fourth of July smore's writting this chapter out. :)

Oh, and there will be no more lemons in this story. Conflict with the site, blah, blah, blah...Anywho. I hope you all aren't disappointed.

Chapter 7

BPOV

I left Edward's house around 1am. I don't know if it was morally wrong to sleep with a guy twice after you've only met him online and in a bar. I mean, he could be a phsycopath or something!

But I can't help myself...he's dreamy.

I got home to a very annoyed Alice Hale.

"Where in fuck's name have you been!" She exclaimed, flailing her arms.

"Sorry Alice. I ran into someone and got talking..." I let the blush covering my face tell the rest of the story.

"Really?" She said, hands on hips. "How many times are you going to sleep with him?"

I shrugged. "I don't know." I yawned loudly. "Ok. I'm going to bed. Night."

"I want to meet this guy tomorrow. Promise?" She said in a stern voice. Right now, she sounded more like my mother than the fun loving friend. But I knew she was just worried about me and was watching out for me.

"Okay. Good night Alice." I said in a sing songy voice as I went into my bedroom. I took a quick shower and replayed the fun I had with Edward in my head as I fell asleep.

The next morning, around 9am, I woke up to the sound of my phone buzzing.

"Hello?" I grumbled into the mouth piece.

"Oh, I'm so sorry. Did I wake you?" I listened to Edward say in his beautifully husky voice.

I was instantly awake. "No, no. Not at all."

"Alright. Well..." He hesitated. "I was, um, wondering if you'd like to have lunch today. Say noon-ish?"

I smiled and did a little happy dance in my bed. "Sure," I answered him in a calm voice. "But is it okay if I bring my friend and her husband?"

"Sure. Anything you want. Want to meet somewhere?" He suggested.

"Yeah, how about Facinelli's? I've heard that's good." He laughed. "What's so funny?" I asked.

"Oh nothing. It's just that my brother and his wife happen to own Facinelli's. I'd love to go there."

I laughed too. "Wow. It seems like everything's full of coincidences."

"Indeed." He chuckled.

I was as giddy as a school girl when Jasper, Alice, and I left for Facinelli's. I tried to contain it but I couldn't help it if a smile cracked my face every now and again.

I spotted Edward's unruly bronzey-red hair when we entered the restaraunt. He was speaking with a beautiful blonde woman. She looked vaugely familiar.

"Hello, Bella!" He greeted me enthusiastically. He hugged me.

"Edward, this is Jasper Hale and his wife Alice." He shook their hands.

We were seated at a table and the blonde woman came to wait on us.

I remember where I'd seen her before. "Hey, aren't you the woman I ran into at LaFerve's the other day?"

She looked at me for a moment. "Yeah. I think that was you. I'm Rosalie Cullen. I'm Edward's sister-in-law."

I laughed. "So many weird coincidences."

"Huh?" She said.

"Oh, well I started chatting with Edward online. Then I had a one-night stand with a stranger who turned out to be Edward. He forgot to get my name. Then I ran into you at LaFerves, little did I know you were Edward's realitive. Then he ended up being the training doctor at one of my appointments. It's all kind of confusing."

She shook her head but smiled. "Yeah it is. But oh well." She took our orders and left.

When our food was ready, Rosalie and another man came out to help serve it. "Hey, I'm Emmett. Eddie's big brother and Rose's husband."

I shook his hand. "Nice to meet you."

Conversation flowed easily for the rest of the lunch. Edward got a few texts but that was about it.

Around 4pm Alice and Jasper said they needed to get home.

"How about a drink then, Bella? I could take you home afterward if you'd like." Edward suggested.

I nodded my head. "Sure."

We ended up at a bar down the street. Edward and I sat at the bar and chatted about our careers, family, where we grew up, and so much more.

We'd been sitting and nursing our drinks, a beer for him, a soda for me because the meds I was on didn't allow alcohol. His phone rang. He looked at the caller ID. It must've been someone he didn't quite get along with because he rolled his eyes at the phone. "I'm sorry Bella. I need to take this."

I nodded and turned back to my soda when he walked away.

"Hello, Tanya." I said into the phone in what I hoped was a calm, polite manner.

"Edward, you and I need to talk or spend some time together or something!" She screeched into the phone.

I sighed. "I know. I'm so sorry for not being around a lot. I've been busy. I completely agree that we need to spend some time together."

"I know that's why I booked a week for us in Oahu!" She said excitedly. "We're leaving tomorrow morning. So pack up!"

I didn't know what to say. I didn't want to tell her no but I didn't want to leave Bella either. Then I had a thought. It was completely morally wrong but I didn't care.

"That's perfect. I'm headed home to pack right now." I told her.

"Yay!" She giggled. "Bye baby! Love you!"

"MmHmm..." I hated the "L" word so I didn't use it. "Bye." We hung up and I went back to Bella.

"I hope I didn't keep you too long." I said as I flashed Bella smile and sat down next to her.

She shook her head. "No. Not at all."

"Um...Bella, can I ask you something?"

"Sure. Anything." She turned in her seat to face me.

Why are you doing this? You're fucking everything up! My concience shouted at me in top volume. But like the ass hat that I am, I didn't listen.

"I have a work thing to do in Oahu and my boss gave me the option of taking someone with me. It's a week long trip. Would you like to go?"

She looked shocked. "Are you sure? I mean, a week in Oahu? That's not really a 'just met you' kind of thing."

I chuckled. "I'd be working most of the time...but I'd spend time with you, too. I'm not asking marraige Bella." Though the thought was strangely interesting...

She looked at me before finally shrugging her shoulders. "Sure. Why not."

I smiled and picked her hand up. I kissed the back of it. "Thank you, Bella. I have to leave tomorrow morning but I can get you a flight for tomorrow evening or something if you'd like."

She nodded. "That would be great. It'll give me time to pack and talk to Alice."

I smiled and kissed her cheek. "Perfect." I glanced at my watch. "Oh wow...It's already 8pm. I should get you home."

She nodded.

We got into my car and she gave me Alice and Jasper's address. We chatted on the short drive to their house about all the things we wanted to do while in Oahu. Bella seemed estatic to see the beaches. Apparently she'd grown up along the Florida coast with her mother and hadn't seen the coast in almost six years.

I dropped her off at the door and kissed her goodnight.

Then I drove home to pack. I prayed to God that I could pull this off...

Okay, so I'm having fun writing Eddie.

Please review!
