A/N: Did you all enjoy the last chapter as much as I did. Any who were finally getting somewhere like for starters Edward's head. But aside from that some big stuff is going to be revealed soon. But you might start to understand some things after this chapter. FACT: this chapter jumps around a little.
Edwards voice sounds like a cross between Bruno Mars, Chris brown and the lead singer of Maroon 5. Bella's on the other hand sounds like Hailey from Paramore, Pink, Katy Perry and Jessie j. All singers mentioned in this chapter or this story will be credited or acknowledged at some point.
Disclaimer: As always all characters belong to Stephanie Meyer lucky lady : (. But I own the plot and this story.
Warning: foul language and domestic violence if your not a fan I don't recommend reading this. Not that I'm a fan just saying.
It's not always rainbows and butterflies It's compromise that moves us along, yeah My heart is full and my door's always open You can come anytime you want…

I still can't believe I'm moving back to New York for the time being. I don't think its hit me yet. My third album and I'm still not used to the fact that I'm a celebrity so to speak ,sex symbol, virtuoso if you will. All sounds the same to me. But I didn't let all the fame get to me I was still the same old Edward. On the plus side I'm finally going to be closer to my sister and most of all Isabella or Izzy as I used to call her. Speaking of which I still can remember the day Alice called me screaming how Bella had finally entered the loony bin. Or in other words started dating that douche bag Jacob Black . I was on the second leg of my the way we are tour in Australia. I wanted to pull hair from is roots she deserved better. He was a real tool, he slept with anything he could get his hands on. For a movie producer you would think he had some kind of brain in his massive head. We all grew up together in forks, then gradually grew apart aside from Alice , Bella and myself. she helded all us all together. He used to be the nicest guy with the biggest heart, always so down to earth and full of life. Now from what I heard he was not doing so well career wise and he kept losing clients. Which essentially meant his attitude went downhill just as everything else went south .I had no idea how Jacob got threw to Bella and they started dating. From what I remember her and Alice thought he was a asshole who loved to dick around people. I'm not saying he's still that asshole I know of but Bella really got her work cut out for her. I swear that girl always had her head in a book and her heart in the clouds. If she only known how I felt about her then is how I still feel about her now. Things after that night changed everything for me .Man I used to have it bad and that girl was so oblivious to it I mean even my parents knew. It's been six years ,two albums and 25 songs written about her. Out of 25 songs only 7 were place on each album I didn't want people to think I was obsessed with the girl. I mean she's my sisters best friend and my old friend. We grew up together and I've been madly in love with her since high school. I don't know how I'm going to survive working with her. I wish she was with me instead of that jerk off. She may not know it now but I'm going to prove it to her that she deserves better and by better I mean me.
" CULLEN ! Get your ass in here and get you head out the clouds this isn't the time to be wasting thinking about unicorns and rainbows !. " James said screaming annoyingly. He can wait. God did I hate my agent. He always had some bullshit remark to say when I was in His presence. But he was good at his job so I just had to suck it up. Thank god my mom was my manager. She never let anyone cross me over nor write bullshit lies about me. But I know that has put a strain on her relationship with my father. With him being a doctor in forks, back home and her being with me on the road 24/7 I don't know how they would do it. But my mom manages to balance out the two. Thank god I'm not on this god awful tour not that recording isn't fun but is less tiring. A different city every night ,a different hotel bed same shit different time zone. But this time around it might actually be a good time. I was just about to go give James a good earful but my cell buzzed in my pocket.
*just thought I'd hit you up since you know the world is ending in a few minutes and you didn't have the decency to text me your whereabouts since you know I am the person who supposedly watches your ass and your "front". but is all luv Cuddley Teddybear*-Em
You have got to be kidding me. Emmett has the best timing in the world to pull his annoying shit. But I probably should keep him up to date on my whereabouts and such. Not like I was trying to write a song or anything.
* since the world might end just thought I answer u back but what are u bitching about today *-E
I had the lyrics to this song in my head for a while now. I just can't figure out how it'll all fall into place yet. I grabbed my notepad from my book bag and started to writing what was pooling in my head.
I don't mind spending everydayOut on your corner in the pouring rainLook for the girl with the broken smileAsk her if she wants to stay awhileAnd she will be loved
Maybe that could be the hook or something. Then my cell buzzed again. I already knew it was Emmett he trying to ruin my mood. I almost wanted to chuck it at my hotel room wall but there's far to many witnesses in here that would get suspicious. Why did they all have to be in here anyway. I put my notepad down and unlocked my blackberry then went to the text.
* Bro who's stick is welded up your ass. I tell you the worlds ending and your curious about my bitching geez man I thought you cared about me a little more then that. :'( but seriously where the fuck are you don't you have a meeting with my adorable little rugrat to be at ? :D *-Em
His total misuse of smiley's was just irritating. But why does he have to make sense. I checked the time and realized I did need to start hauling some ass soon. I couldn't keep Izzy waiting could I.
*Stfu there's no stick just a permanent imprint of ur face since ur always up my ass dickwad .* -E
Xoxoxoxoxox
As we were waiting in this big conference room. I couldn't help but get nervous for the impending appearance from Izzy. I had to distract myself for the time being. I pulled out my notepad and continued writing the song I was focused on before.
I know where you hideAlone in your carKnow all of the things that make you who you areI know that goodbye means nothing at allComes back and begs me to catch her every time she fallsTap on my window knock on my doorI want to make you feel beautiful
I drove for miles and milesAnd wound up at your doorI've had you so many times but somehowI want more
Then my phone buzzed in my pocket pulling me out of my head. I unlocked it and noticed two missed calls from Alice and three texts from her.
* call me when u get this xoxo*-A
*I need to tlk to u xoxo*-A
*where on our way up now*-A
The last one was sent two minutes ago. Damn that means Bella is going to be here in soon. I don't think I'm ready to see her after all these years.
*I guess that means I have to throw on my make up and pretty myself up then right ;) *-E
Not even a minute later she replied back. damn lil pixie had a gift if she wasn't an amazing stylist I would put on my team. But I would never tell of her that she would have a field day.
BPOV
(a hour or two before the meeting)
I spent a half and hour explaining my burse to Alice not only was I late I was unprepared. I was still trying to talk her out of telling the whole world about it. As much as it killed me telling her how Jake hit me I knew apart of me felt better telling her. Let alone telling anybody for that matter. After she got over her initial shock about it she helped me get dressed which meant we were going to play dress up the clothingly challenged and be even more later then we already were. Not only did she pick a out a stunning outfit which consisted a red and black belted dress that looked more like a loose black blouse and a tight red pencil skirt. Matched with black red bottom pumps and red and black scarf around my neck. But she added a cute little black /gold bracelet and the heart-shaped diamond earrings she gave me last Christmas. I looked hot as fuck and she didn't even start on my make up yet. She started with the black and blue first paying extra attention to it and applying massive amounts of foundation then dabbing cover-up across it when she finished you would of never guessed underneath all that make-up laid a nice looking discolored black and blue. Then to finish off the look she added some mascara to my long eyelashes and red lipstick to my firm plump lips. I was ready to go but she insisted I grab my make up for touch ups throughout the day. I highly doubt this woman ever checked the time but for the record we were already almost two hours late.
We finally get in her pocket size Red Beetle Volkswagen. Where she sped through traffic like a mad woman. I think we might actually get to work sooner than later but to my disappointment we got stuck in traffic. Ten minutes later were on the move again this time with traffic picking up. She pulling into the parking garage and I gracefully walked towards the elevators to wait for her. She walked over to me texting of course probably some guy she met at that club she was telling me about a few nights ago. I miss going out and having few like she does. My relationship feels like a prison sentence sometimes I don't know what to make of it now.
Xoxoxox
Aro called me into his office to tell me they were waiting on me to start the meeting and I had to work on my punctuality. That he would be along shortly but he would meet me in the conference room where everybody was already waiting for myself and him. I walked to my office ,grabbed my song books off my desk and proceeded to walk slowly towards the conference room. I didn't know what to expect. I think I need a little pick me up where is my phone? I patted my dress but remembered no pockets. I walked back to my desk and went though my drawers I found my phone and started texting her.
* Rosie brighten up my day sis I need a little kick in the ass real quick :? *-B
I turned a corner as I continued my slow paced walk towards the conference room and my phone buzzed again my books.
* Aren't you suppose to be working or something what are you getting paid for .Shit I bust my hump all morning and you need a kick in the ass. Trying having to walk into to work with Dickhead who invites you to his office to try and catch a peek at whatever might fall out of … But anyway you better still be meeting me for lunch at the Serendipity3 I need a break badly and Em is in one of his moods. I cant text or call him unless I give back the sextoys and shit. I'm so leaving work early .*-R
How the hell am I suppose to answer that massive text. I thought quietly to myself for a few minutes then I felt eyes staring a whole through me thinking I would be greeted with a nice set of eyes but to my disappointment it just plain old Mike Newton's dull brown ones. He was practically eye fucking me until I started to send him deathly menacing glares.
I walked into the conference room and didn't bother looking back. It was now or never. I took my respected sit opposite the head of table were Aro would most likely being sitting. I finally looked around and I noticed all the other people that worked with Edward . I only notice like two or three people that actually worked for Aro. The rest was Team Edward. I notice him sitting next to Esme who was seated across from me also to my left opposite my seat but he was directly in front of me across the table. He looked better than I remembered him to be. He was wearing a tight long-sleeved blue and black striped shirt that showed off his well endowed mid-section . Damn he looked better than the ads and posters. don't I sound like a crazed fan . I only saw from the waist up but none of that mattered he looked damn sexy. I don't know how I'm going to work in close proximities with him for however long it takes to work on his album. Damn why did I not notice him in high school.
Esme noticed me just then as she was putting her blackberry down. " Isabella Marie Swan how dare you sit down without formally greeting me I thought I raised you better than that." She said happily as I got up from my sit and walked over to give her a tight hug.
" I'm sorry Esme I honestly didn't notice, my apologies I wont happen again." I said innocently holding her tighter to me. She gives the best hugs. Plus I really a mother figure if not mine then the next thing.
" Damn straight it wont happen again I thought I raised you better than that missy. But oh well girls will be girls ill forgive you if you have dinier with me and Edward. You look amazing my love whatever you've been doing keep it up" she said gleefully wagging her eyebrows at me . I see she's still up to her old tricks. She always used to try and put me and Edward in this awkward positions not that I been in any pleasant ones recently anyways. Where she would make conversation about how good we looked together and how pretty our babies would be. I always thought about that but he never gave me the time of day. I always thought it was because I was his twin sisters best friend. But at this party we all went to in high school I got really drunk and gave him a sloppy kiss and half ass lap dance.
- Flashback Summer of 2005 -
Alice, Edward and Myself were all sitting on a couch in the living room of Jane Volturi's house surrounded by tons of drunk classmates much of which I've never seen ever. Some making out. Some dry humping on the dance floor. It was to many people and not enough air circulating , I needed a drink and Alice was up and out her sit to get us some before I even asked her I guess she needed one to. She always knew what I wanted before I even told which I was grateful for is like she could read my mind.
I don't remember much after that nor how many drinks I had but I somehow ended up on Edward's lap and he had his arm securely around my waist . He kept rubbing my side soothingly. I felt little shots of electricity shoot through every time his fingers touched me. I couldn't tell if he was drunk or not but the look in his eyes told me felt what I was feeling. horny as fuck maybe that could of been just me but I saw something in his eyes that told me he felt more than just lust for me but I couldn't quite tell in my drunken state. I moved more closer to his member with my back toward him which from what I felt was more like an entire club. I wanted more I started dancing with the song and he put both his hands on my hips as I sways my hips awkwardly on his lap. I was so off compared to how mid-tempo the song was on. I leaned forward and tried to grind my ass into his shaft but I lose my balance and his grip. I fell on the floor face first onto a soggy carpet. I didn't have it in me to care about why the carpet was soggy because he helped me back on to the couch well his lap because I didn't want to sit on the couch his lap was better. much better. when we both up right facing each other I climbed back onto his lap and straddled him. I felt his hard member through both mine and his jeans. he felt even harder then. It rubbed against me sinfully it was giving me the friction I needed in that moment . I grinded into to him sloppily and he halt my movement a few minutes later. I looked at him sadly like I just lost my puppy pout lip and everything ,he looked back at me with his piercing green eyes shining back at me darkly. He eyes were full of lust and passion. I wanted nothing more but to take him right here but I settle for a drunken kiss. The moment our lips connected I felt as if it I was on cloud nine. Our lips moved in time with each other as if they were molded for each other . When he licked my bottom lip as if asking for permission I gladly obligated and opened my mouth more for him. His tongue danced with mine and that deepened the kiss farther to the point where we both pulling away panting heavily and ready for more. Alice took this as the right time to come back from where ever she went and sat right next to us saying she was ready to leave. Ill never forgive her cockblocking skills for being in full force that night.
As soon as Alice said that Edward whispered he needed to use the bathroom then we would leave after . I peeled myself away from all the tingles I was feeling from him as he got up and I sat next to Alice. Who damn near hoped on my lap asking me what just happened. I told her proudly what happened which she bounced happily to.
" do you what you just started?" she said cheerfully smiling at me goofily as she leaned back against the couch and threw one of her legs over mine and I did the same to her.
" no why I mean we both drunk who's going to remember this night anyways is not like I'm going to start fucking him or dating him for that matter. So what's the point of not having a little fun. I don't even like he like that" I said far louder than I intended to. the lies I told myself. Just as Edward happened to walk back. He grabbed Alice and threw her over his shoulder caveman style and yanked my arm forcefully and threw me over his other shoulder. I don't know how he managed to carry both of us to his silver Volvo without so much as a stumble was beyond me. He set us to our feet at the same time and we stumbled into the car he got in the drivers seat and grabbed to some bags from the glove compartment then handed them back to us.
" if you feel the need to puke you guts out just use these not my car ok drunkie and drunker . don't forget to bucket up ! " he said harshly to us looking between the two of us before stop and staring at me for a second then turning around to buckle up .Then he started the car up and we were off back to their house.
"Aren't you drunk to Eddiekins?" I said sounding more whiny than i had hoped to. He just turned back around looked at me sadly and said.
" I haven't touched one beer at all tonight I was purely sober knowing full well I would have to be the designated driver here. So I wouldn't have any fun and remember tonight. He gritted his perfect teeth as he said the last part and turned back around as sped down the road.
That was the last night me and Edward actually talked but that was all I really remember from that night besides my blatantly dry fucking him and sucking the tongue out his mouth. We never really had any long conversations after that night it just the simple pleasantries.
- End Flashback-
Esme had already pulled back and was waving her hand in front of my face. I hadn't notice I zoned out. I came back and chanced a glance at Edward who was occupied with his writing . He was just as out of it as I was. Just as I was about to turn and start to walk back to my seat I felt the same electricity shoot through as I did six and a half years ago at that party. His piercing green eyes were looking up at me sweetly. But he had his hand on my forearm pulling me towards him. Next thing I know he has his arms around me and his head in my hair which was lose today. This wasn't a normal awkward kind of hug this was one I didn't want to end. I wrapped my arms around him and I forgot about the world for a second. But my reality checked in when Aro cleared his throat behind Edward and myself.
" Since we don't have to exchange anymore pleasantries how bout we getting started on the purpose were all here. Shall we?" he said calmly we he eyed us and clapped before walked towards his chair. I reluctantly let go on Edward but he grabbed my wrist.
" Give me your number so I can text you" he said looking at me sweetly. How can I say no to that face.
" I don't know if now is the ti…" he cut me off by placing his finger to my lips.
" I don't care I haven't seen in god knows how long I missed you Izzy plus your going to need my number anyways were kind to going to be seeing a lot of each other you know with working on my album and all" he said shyly giving me that sexy lopsided grin that can make any girls pants wet .there's the Edward I know and love. I missed that Edward .
I handed him my blackberry and he pulled out his unlocked it and handed it to me. We traded numbers and I went back to my seat smiling. How did my day go from bleh to great in just a few short hours.
Xoxoxoxo
Two hours later we were still in this meeting Aro was talking our ears off. Me and Edward Was texting back and forth I felt like I was in high school because every time I had my phone out Aro would look over at me skeptically than at Edward then shake his head.
Aro had covered all the bases between the recording sessions, all of which I had to be at. To the phootshoot's and everything else centered around Edward. He even thrown in my slight promotion from senor songwriter vice president to head (if that is a title) It was like I was going to be his shadow for the next few months. The media would not take this kindly. I could see it now "America's most sexist with America's most oblivious". But he seemed so humble like none of this fazed him even in the slightest bit.
By the time Aro got to end of the meeting and said the scheduling times for everyone he dismissed everyone but Esme. The room emptied out pretty quickly. As I walked back to my office I felt I familiar presence behind me. I turned and crashed right into a hard chest.
" I'm sorry…" I was cut off yet again with a finger placed on my lips.
" Izzy you really need to look before you walk." he said laughing. He laugh was infectious.
" I would if you hadn't followed me to my office smartass" I said humorously with a smile on my face. I don't remember the last time I smiled genuinely because I wanted to.
" You call it following I call it site seeing but seriously Iz you going to keep me waiting here and not invite me in. How rude the first time I see you in a million years and you shun me like this." he turned around playfully. I grabbed his arm and ignored the fireworks I felt all throughout my body , and pulled him towards my office. Only to be greeted by my overly hyper best friend.
" What is this some kind of intervention?" I asked playfully moving towards my desk chair and push Alice out of it. He sat on the couch nearest my desk and Alice plopped down next to him then laid her head on his shoulder. It was the cutest thing to watch them in there brother/sister bubble.
" No its just an excuse to see my brother knowing he would creepily stalk you back to your office." She said smiling at me. Oh my how things haven't changed at all in the pass few years.
A/N: I'm still catching my breath after writing all this. But I would love to know what you think of it reviews would be great and probably make me write quicker J.
