I am dedicating this chapter to my dog because we are putting him down this coming week. : (

Enjoy and review for me please.

Oh my god, he was in love with some girl and she was killed. He must be dead inside. How do you recover from that?

"Hey Princess, were heading out to the store again, your friend cut our shopping short last time. We are leaving in ten"

Maybe he calls me princess because he can't deal with women any more. Maybe he is falling apart inside. The poor guy.

"BELLA!" Edward yelled. Apparently it has been eleven minutes and I'm making us late.

"Coming" I said slinging on my coat and running to the door.

"You okay kid?" Jasper asked me

"Yep" I giggled getting in the car. Edward looked at me funny then got in and we took off.

We got to the market and went through the aisles. I was aimlessly fallowing the boys when the display caught my eye. It was a little girl on the box of cookies. She was so cute.

"Hi"

I turned to find a man. He was cute. He was talk and had a baby face. He had on a flannel shirt on and a jean jacket. His jeans had holes in them at the knees from work not the style. He smiled and tilted his head.

"Hi" I answered back.

"I'm Mike. I don't believe I have met you. I think I would remember such a pretty face."

I laughed and blushed. "I'm Bella"

"Well Bella, are you going to the fair this weekend. I would love it if you saved me a dance"

"Oh well-" I started

"She won't be able to make it." Edward said putting his hand on my waist. I looked over at him blushing.

"Oh I didn't know man, sorry. I'm Mike"

"Edward" he said pulling me closer. He leaned in and pushed my hair back from my face. "Let's go baby." He said just loud enough for Mike to hear.

We left after we got enough food to last us around a month. The cashier was a teen girl. She looked at Edward's arm around my waist and his constant need to touch me and sighed. She must be crazy if she thought this was real.

"Edward can I run to the store real fast?" I asked nicely. I fluttered my eyes and stuck out my lip. He blinked a few times and nodded. I smiled big and cheesy and took off for the clothing store. I was in the shop for ten minutes before Edward found me and glared.

"What?"

"What was that?"

"What?" I asked still confused

"The eye thing and the lip pouting, you can't get away with that"

"Oh" I blushed and laughed darkly. Yes a little evil but it worked.

"Are you done? We need to get going"

"Why?" I scrunch up my face. I don't want to be trapped in the house again.

"Bella, get what you want and let's get going. I don't feel comfortable out in the open." He whispered.

I nodded and handed him the sweater I liked. He bought it and we went in the car.

"There you are Bella." Jasper started "Where did you disappear to?"

Like he didn't know. "Bella here," Edward glared "decided to flirt with some tool named Mike"

Tool. He was nice. "You're just jealous" I said

Jasper laughed and Edward sped the entire way home. He didn't speak to me all night. The next morning I was pouring cereal when Edward came in.

"Where is Jasper" he asked getting a bowl.

"He went for a walk and then he said he was going to the shooting range. He wanted to meet us back here for dinner."

He nodded and ate his food. I changed into the new sweater I got and jeans. I was lounging on the sofa when Edward came in and flopped down next to me.

I looked over to make some remark about him when I was silenced by his eyes.

"You said you wanted to go to the fair today?" he asked

His eyes were soft and pleading. He wanted to go into town; he was very attractive when he was looking at me like that.

"I-I um, well what about Jasper?"

"I'll leave him a note"

Who is in town that he has to see so badly? I could feel myself getting upset. He can't fall for someone that fast again. How did he meet her?

"Okay" he smiled and got up handing me my coat.

We were out of the house in ten minutes and on the road to town. When we got there Edward slowly took my hand in his. I swear I looked from my hand to his face and back ten times.

"We're supposed to be married" he shrugged

Okay, that's weird. We walked around the fair for a few minutes before we ran into Jessica.

"Bella, Edward" she waved

"God help us" he mumbled and waved. I chuckled.

"Hi Jessica, how are you?"

"I'm good, you two seem all lovey-dovey." She winked at me and said she'd see me later.

After a few hours Edward found a way to casually put his arm around me and not make it as weird as the hand holding was. We ate hot dogs for lunch and when everyone was heading to the big white tent we fallowed.

People were dancing and there was a band on stage. They were singing some song I didn't know. There were tables lining the perimeter of the tent.

"Bella, come dance with me!" Jessica called I rolled my eyes and looked at Edward.

"Go" he said releasing my side from his grip. It felt weird to be without him. All day he has been attached to my side and I was not prepared to feel this, this sense of need for him.

I walked over to Jessica and danced a few dances.

"Where did you meet that man, and where can I get one?"

"Arizona. He just fell in my life one day" I said looking back at him. I caught his eye and he smiled big and goofy. I couldn't help but smile back.

The song changed and he walked over. He extended his hand to me and I took it.

"Come on Princess Bella, let's go. Jasper is more than likely going to kill me."

"No, I won't let him kill my hubby" I said and we drove back home. We talked about my furniture business on the way back and Jake.
