I woke up with a massive headache and couldn't remember anything after leaving the bar. When I looked around I realized I wasn't at home. I could hear snoring but nobody else was in the bed. I looked around and there he was; Edward was sleeping on the floor. He had a pillow and a blanket and he was wearing nothing but his boxers. I panicked and checked myself relieved to find I still had on all my clothes.

I heard my cell ringing and stumbled around looking for my purse. Once I found it I stepped out on the balcony. "Hello?" Ang was yelling on the other end, "Jesus where the hell are you? I came over to talk knowing you would still be asleep and your not here." I pulled the phone away from my head because her yelling was like nails on a chalkboard.

"Ang calm down. I'm fine." I could hear Edward moving around in the room, "Ang look I'll call you back ok." As soon as I hung up Edward stepped out towards me. "I thought I heard you out here. How's your head?" I shrugged, "Give me a tall glass of water and some strawberry milk and I will survive." We went inside and he ordered room service.

I sat on the edge of the bed not really sure where to start so I just asked it, "What happened after we left the bar?" He flopped down on his back landing in the middle of the bed, "Well, you didn't want to go home, so we came here where you pretty much emptied the mini bar. I helped but you definitely out drank me last night. When you passed out on the floor I put you on the bed and I slept on the floor, in case you woke up so you wouldn't freak out."

There was a knock on the door. Edward answered it, the bell boy pushed the cart in but as Edward opened the door for him to leave white flashes over took the door way. Edward tried to use the bell boy as a shield but I knew it was too late. They had already gotten their money shots. He walked over to comfort me but I shrugged him off and grabbed my milk. "So what are you doing today?" He just ran his hand through his hair and mumbled something I couldn't quite make out. I scooted closer to him.

We sat in silence until I finished my drink and he ate his food. "Ok I know the cameras where a bit annoying earlier but lets get over it!" Just as I finished talking my phone rang. I answered it, "Damn it Ang leave me alone! I am fine, I'm with Edward and I have a hangover. If you call me again someone had better be dieing!" I didn't think about what I said until after it was too late. Ang hung up without saying anything but I thought I heard her sigh.

I closed my eyes and tried to clear my head. Edward rubbed my shoulders. "I have an idea for us." He got dressed and grabbed a small overnight bag. Then he took me to my apartment to get changed. "Hey grab your bathing suit and some extra clothes." I was a little confused but did as he said. When we got outside Jasper was there in his car with a shorter black haired girl sitting next to him. We got in but I was still clueless as to where we were going.

Edward was carrying me into a hotel when I woke up and it was dark outside. "Edward where are we? I feel like we drove forever." He laughed as we got inside the building. "Well that would be because we did drive all day, mainly because Jasper got us lost." He sat me down on my feet and I looked around. I found a rack full of tourist attractions and read one that said Welcome to Virginia Beach. Edward wrapped his arm around my waist and placed his chin on my shoulder. "Why did we come to Virginia Beach?" He kissed my neck, "Well you seemed tense and this is more secluded than the city and it will drive the paparazzi crazy that they can't find us. Also Jasper was already coming and he invited us last night."

When we got to our room I pulled out my cell and called Ang. She didn't answer probably still mad about earlier, so I left a message, "Hey Ang, sorry about earlier. Edward and I are out of town in Virginia just letting you know." I took a shower and when I got out Edward was trying to get comfortable on the couch. I rolled my eyes at him. "Get your ass off the couch and take the bed." He didn't budge.

I walked over to him and grabbed his arm. I really had to pull on his arm to get him to move, "Seriously. We're both adults, dating, and I swear I don't bite." He laughed and walked closer to me, "Well that's too bad." I blushed at him. He noticed I was embarrassed so he leaned over and gave me a quick kiss on the lips.

We laid in the bed together for a while before we both fell asleep. At first our backs were towards each other but about an hour later Edward rolled over and pulled my back against his chest.

The next morning I woke with Edward still holding me tight. I laid there waiting for him to wake up which wasn't too long because Jasper and Alice bursting through our adjoining door. Edward shot up in the bed pulling me with him and threw a pillow at Jasper, "Oh come on Eddie I know you aren't tired. We do share a wall." I then threw a pillow at him. "Sorry honey I like you but I know Eddie here can make them scream." I pulled the cover over my head and laid back down. Edward leaned over and pulled it back down, "Don't listen to a word that ass says."

Alice dragged Jasper out of the room while Edward took a shower and I got dressed. Alice and I decided to go out to the beach even if the guys wouldn't come, but that wasn't a problem once we were in our bathing suits. I could here Jasper yelling through the wall. "Alice you can't wear that in public!" Edward and I were both laughing at them argue over her clothes or lack there of. When we all finally met up at the beach Jasper and Alice looked pissed. "Hey Jasper I may make them scream but they sure make you yell." Jasper shot him a death glare.

Alice laid out in front of us to get a tan while Jasper sat next to Edward listening to his ipod. Edward tilted his head over to me trying to read my book, "What?" He stood and took my hand and guided me towards the ocean. "Edward no!" He turned to look at me, "I don't go in the ocean." He gave me a devilish grin and I turned to run away. I barely got 50 feet away when he caught me. He tossed me over his shoulder like a caveman and walked out in the ocean. He was waist high before he stopped.

I was still over his shoulder when he stopped walking, "Please God don't drop me!" He popped me up on his shoulder acting like he was going to drop me. I just reacted by screaming not able to help it.

He pulled me around so that he was holding me bridal style above the water. "You're really scared." I put vice grip around his neck, "DUH!" He laughed at me and I smacked the back of his head. "Don't laugh at my fears; I don't make fun of you for your fear of flying." He stopped laughing immediately. "So what are you afraid of?" I sighed, "Sharks, jelly fish and stingrays are on the top of the list." He concentrated really hard before he spoke, "I'm here with you and I won't let anything happen to you." I shook my head, "You can't promise that." He smiled, "You're right but I can try. Do you trust me?"

How could he ask that question? If I didn't trust him would I have really came with him or shared a bed with him? I just nodded. "OK don't let go of my neck." He slowly lowered my legs into the water but never fully let go of my body when he stopped lowering me my feet still weren't touching the ground. "See, now you don't have to worry about stingrays." I laughed at how silly he made me feel.

When I looked back at the shore I saw how far out we really were and I began to panic. Edward noticed and grabbed my chin, "Don't look over there; stay here with me." I zeroed in on his green eyes and started to calm down.

After a few silent moments he asked, "Why are you afraid of these things?" I groaned, "Stingrays scare me because of that famous guy who died from one and they can hit you Achilles tendon, jelly fish simply, because I don't like pain and I don't want someone to pee on me, and sharks… Well I guess I don't fear them but more that I respect them." He gave me a look that several others gave me when I said that 'you're crazy'. "Yes, they are dangerous but we are entering their habitat. Sharks are beautiful animals, but that's just it, they're animals." He slid us deeper into the water and kissed my forehead. My toes slightly grazed the sand below us and I instinctively wrapped my legs around him. He laughed at me so I also slapped him again.

We stayed out for about an hour then headed towards the shore. Once we got back to our stuff I saw that Jasper and Alice had made up. We all gathered our stuff and went back to the hotel. We decided to have dinner separately but to meet up later to go out and drink.

Edward and I walked around for a place to eat and settled on a taco stand at the park. We planned on walking around until Jasper called but a group of girls noticed him and began chasing us. "It must be hard to be the most available rich bachelor in the world." He just rolled his eyes at me.

Once we got back to the hotel he signed a few autographs and took pictures. Luckily Jasper showed up and created a distraction by mooning the group.

We finally made it to our room. We got ready to go out with Jasper and Alice and met them in the hall. "Ok so I talked to the manager and he is gonna let us use the back door." We walked over to the staircase, "Did you ask while your man showed off his cute ass?" She smiled, "It is cute isn't it?" Alice and I walked off in front of the guys.

Jasper got us a cab to a smaller club further away from the main crowd. Jasper ordered all of us drinks, "Alright we are going to take turns ordering drinks for the group. You must drink it and not complain about the choice." For some reason I felt like Jasper was talking specifically to me. He was too nice because he ordered us all long island iced teas. The music in the club wasn't as loud as it would be back at home but that was probably because there were less people in here.

Our table was in a dark corner and Edward was hiding from all the lights afraid he would be discovered. Alice was the next to order drinks and she settled on gin tonics. She was begging Jasper to dance but he wouldn't cave, "Sweetheart I am not drunk enough to dance." She then turned all her efforts towards me. I could only deny her for a few moments before she tore down all my defenses.

We danced through four songs before some guys began to hit on us and we decided it was time to get another drink with our men. When we got to the table Edward wasn't there. As if Jasper could read my mind he answered my question before I spoke it, "Bathroom." I nodded and sat just as one of the guys from the dance floor came over, "Hey you wanna dance?" I looked at Alice and laughed, "Nope!"

The guy leaned in closer, "Oh come on I won't bite, unless you like that." I rolled my eyes at the lame pick up line, "Alice isn't it funny that no matter where you are the pick up lines are always the same." She and Jasper both laughed.

"That wasn't very nice." I glared up at the guy, "I never said I was nice, beside my boyfriend isn't much nicer." The guy looked at Jasper trying to see if he could take him, "Damn dude you got two girls and you won't even share?" Jasper looked up behind the guy, "I'm her boyfriend, and she didn't lie I'm not nice." The guy looked Edward over as if seeing if he could win in a fight then quickly retreated to the dance floor. "After that I need a drink. Eddie it's your turn." I couldn't help but laugh at Jasper.

Edward left and returned with four beers. I was thankful to have a drink that could last a while. We all sat around discussing our night apart. Everyone got a good laugh out of my fears of the ocean, me included. Finally I got to order drinks and we got my favorite, tequila rose. After twenty minutes of arguing we convinced Jasper it was time to leave since we would be driving home tomorrow.

Apparently Jasper snuck in a few drinks because Alice and I had to carry him out of the cab to their room. Edward tried to help by holding doors but he wasn't much better than Jasper. Eventually we made it to our rooms and went to bed. Edward laid behind me and I rolled over to look into his eyes, "Thank you for getting me into the ocean." We kissed each other quickly, "Anytime," and then we fell asleep looking at each other.

Alice was knocking on our door. By 9 am but we were already awake. "I need help getting him awake, I've tried everything." Edward smiled, we circled around him and all yelled together, "JASPER!" He jumped out of the bed and looked around the room, "Fuck my head." Alice laughed, "That's what you get for sneaking in drinks." He just sighed and laid back down.

Both Alice and I packed our crap while the guys loaded up the car. Jasper checked us out and then we got ready to leave. Jasper and Alice were arguing over who would drive and Edward kept checking his watch getting agitated at how long it was taking. I noticed the keys in the ignition and climbed up front. I waved for Edward to join me but he shook his head no.

I rolled the passenger window down. "You two get your asses in the car and argue while I drive." Jasper yelled, "Hell No!" meanwhile Alice climbed in next to me. "Honey just get in, you have a hangover anyways."

Jasper got in the car but pouted the whole time. I truly loved his car, he had a 2009 Mustang GT it was black with black leather interior and dark tinted windows. The only thing I would have changed about it would be that I like convertibles.

I was remembering how to get home when I remembered that Nathaniel and I found a quicker way using the back roads. When I passed the highway Jasper freaked out giving himself a headache. "See she doesn't even know where to go. Just pull over and let me drive." I turned up the music and ignored him.

After a whole day of driving, four stops and three tantrums later we were back in the city. I tossed Jasper the keys. "Am I trusted to drive the car now?" he didn't answer because he was still pouting like a four year old. We unloaded our stuff and said goodbye to Jasper and Alice.

"How did you know to get back that way?" I shrugged, "Me and Nathaniel discovered it one year." It wasn't until he draped his arm around me that I realized that I was thinking and speaking of Nathaniel as if the accident never happened. Edward and I hung out for a while and ate dinner at my place before he left to go to his hotel.

The next morning Ang was banging on my door. She forced a cup of coffee in my hands and just waited. "I guess you want an excuse?" She continued to wait, "After work on Thursday we went out to a bar. I got wasted and ended up staying at his hotel. Since Tyler and Eric were out of town we didn't have to work Friday and Edward's friends were going to the beach. They asked us to join and we did. We were there all day Saturday and came back yesterday." She was smiling so wide I knew she forgiven me.

I got dressed and ready for work after Ang left. She must have let Edward in because he was sitting on my couch watching TV. "How did you sleep?" I smiled and turned the TV off. "Really good. I missed my bed." We walked to work together and then went our separate ways.

I got to my office and Stephanie was waiting for me. "Eric sent me up here to have me put on the payroll. I got the part of Antigone." I hadn't even noticed that roll hadn't been filled yet. I filed the paperwork and went to help Embry with painting. Since I am not an artist at all he just had me painting solid base colors. "Bella how is it that we got you to work here and you enjoy doing pretty much anything around here. If we could just get you on the stage we would be good." I just shrugged and watched as Edward pointed out a few things to the actors that they should work on.

After work I went to see Ang and Mike. Edward stayed to talk to Tyler. "After a little time to digest your whole weekend trip I remembered you don't even like the ocean." I took a sip of my water. "Yeah well I got over that fear. Thanks to Edward." I was glad she didn't ask for details because I still felt foolish.

Mike poked his head inside the break room where we were at, "Your man just walked in the door." "Tell him to go away he had her all weekend it's my turn!" Edward came in anyways and kissed the top of my head. "We are both going to need to learn how to share." He sat down next to me and talked about me as if I wasn't even there, "Hello sitting right here! Maybe I will leave you two alone and go help Mike."

I left them alone and stood next to Mike. Unfortunately he didn't really need any help. I glanced around the room looking for any tables that needed to be cleaned and I saw a man I would never forget. I literally ran back to the break room. "Ang! He's back." "Oh my God are you serious? I'm gonna kill him." "Excuse me, but who's here?" "Ang I can't let him see me, I can't handle his bullshit right now." "Who?!" "Bella I would let you use the back but you'd just have to walk past the front windows." "If I get ignored AGAIN I swear I'm going to yell!" I covered his mouth with my hand, "Edward, you're already yelling." He removed my hand from his mouth. "Well who the hell is here?"

Ang's eyes almost shot out of her head as she looked around the room never settling on a single item. "Jacob." He just shrugged, "And who is Jacob?" I sat down and he did the same, "Jacob was my fiancé two years ago. We were only engaged for like two weeks. My parents don't even know about it. We met when I still lived with Nathaniel. One night after we got engaged Nathaniel was out on patrol, he busted a drug deal. Nathaniel called me and said Jacob was involved. He got three years in jail. Just before he went in he promised he would come back to me when he gets out. I told him I never wanted to see him again. He must have gotten out on good behavior or parole because here he is a year early."

I could here Mike arguing in the front and Ang took a look. "Um he is really determined to find you. He plans to wait here unless we give him your info." I closed my eyes and concentrated, "Wish me luck." I stepped towards the door and Edward grabbed my arm, "You're not going out there!" I removed his arm and grabbed his face, "The sooner I get it over with the better."

You all know the drill!
