Okay so first I want to say sorry for the delay, real life has been getting in the way and I have been super busy lately.

Next I want to thank everyone who has reviewed. You all rock and since I'm kind of busy and don't have the time to answer to everyone's review like I would like to, I'm going to answer some questions right now...

Yes, Edward and Bella are virgins and we will find out why they both waited so long later on. And yes we will see the confrontation between Edward and Jake and that will come up later. So far those are the most asked so I just wanted to clarify. And anything that seems unanswered will be answered at some point through out the story. But please keep the question coming and I will answer them all, usually before the first chapter begins.

So I'm going to stop now and let you all get on to the next Chapter.

Disclaimer: I do NOT own Twilight or anything Twilight related. Sad, I know!

Oh my God, Oh my God, Oh my God!

He's here. In Vegas, at the same time as me!

Holy Crap, this has got to be some kind of sign, right?

I mean they always say things happen for a reason. Maybe this is my something happening for a reason.

No, there has got to be a logical reason as to why he is here in Vegas, at the same time as me.

No it's more like there has to be a logical reason as to why my crazy brain is thinking there is more to this than it being a simple coincidence.

With me thinking not so clearly and logically I practically missed the big one, his brother, I think his name is Emmett, asking if Angela and I were in deed Angela and I.

I followed Angela to where the love of my life stood with his brother and best friend from high school.

We confirmed who we were, and I realized that my shy best friend from high school was no longer all that shy. I guess standing in front of three super hot men will make a woman act like anyone but them self. Or maybe it's all those crazy pregnancy hormones.

They talked about lord only knows what. I was having a really hard time concentrating on the conversation with the sexiest man alive standing next to me.

But at some point in the conversation, I heard someone; I'm not sure whom, suggest that we all go out to dinner tonight.

Oh God, dinner, tonight, with Edward! Yes, Please!

I really, and I mean really wanted to go out to dinner with them, and it did not have to do with the fact that the sexy Edward Cullen would be there as well. I was genuinely curious as to what they had all been up to after all these years.

Hell who am I kidding? Let me be honest, I want to know anything and everything about Edward Cullen. I want to know everything he has been up to.

I know I'm being a little mean, not really caring about what is going on with Emmett and Jasper, but can anyone really blame me for not really wanting to know what they have been doing when I am going to have Edward there with me.

No, I want to know what they have been up to, I mean I did talk to the two of them every once in awhile back during senior year, but God I really want to know what Edward has been up to.

Wow, having Edward this close to me is making my brain malfunction. At one point in the conversation I even tried to convince the boys they didn't have to go out to dinner with us. I mean they were in Vegas for a reason, they could have plans that involved the many things people come to Vegas for, they could jus be trying to be polite.

What the hell could I have been thinking, they want to go to dinner with us and I'm trying to convince them they didn't have to, what the hell is wrong with me? Thank God they decided to still go.

I probably would have cried myself to sleep if they would have passed on dinner.

Yeah, having him close by is indeed messing with my mind.

But then again, it is Edward, he can do anything he wants to me mind, body or soul.

I'm pretty sure I was blushing during the whole conversation, I mean the man of my dreams was literally standing right next to me and after we had confirmed dinner plans with the boys I'm pretty sure I was still blushing like there was no tomorrow.

As we said our goodbyes to the boys I couldn't help the funny feeling I started to get in my tummy. It was all nerves and the fact that I was so damn excited about dinner. We were going to Spago, a restaurant I wanted to try while we were in town and I was going to get to spend time with Edward Cullen, my life was as close to perfect as it could possibly be.

Then someone had to go and start bursting my bubble.

After we entered the elevator opposite to the boys, Angela erupted into a fit of giggles.

Then she started to laugh so hard it looked like she was having a really hard time breathing…that can't be good for the baby.

"What the hell is your problem Ang?" The laughter was starting to get to me. I didn't even know why she was laughing so much.

Still with the laughing, as we walked off the elevator to our room people were looking at us funny and she still wouldn't stop with the laughing.

When we walked into the room I figured I would start getting ready for my date.

Did I say date? I meant dinner with the fellas. Yeah, dinner with the fellas…that's what we are doing, having dinner, not a date. No date, I am not having a date with Edward Cullen, but a girl can dream can't she.

And did I really say fellas? I hope I have better verbal skills at dinner tonight.

As I tired to clear my mind and walk into the bathroom, Angela Decided to share with me what she thought was so freaking hilarious.

"I can't believe after all this time you still have a crush on him. Bella it's been ten years since you last saw him, don't you think you should let him go and move on already."

Wow she's a great friend. Could she have said it any nicer?

But she does bring up an interesting point, should I just let him go. It has been ten years since we have last seen each other and even in high school we weren't friends. We didn't talk or hang out with each other. We were never apart of the same group in high school.

He spent all his time with his family and I spent all of my time with Jake or Angela and Ben.

No, what am I thinking, I can't just give him up. I love him, we don't really know each other, but I do know enough to know that I love him and I am not going to just get over it already.

"You know what Angela, shut up. So what I had a crush on him in high school. It just caught me of guard to see him here." I lied hopefully convincing enough.

"Un huh. Use to have a crush on him. Whatever you say Bella. Just do yourself a favor and tell him how you feel one way or another. That way you can just get over him and move on with your life or you can let him in you life and you can finally get your perfect ending. I know you like him, just don't let him consume you, if he isn't your one and only let him go, for good, so you can move on and have all the happiness you deserve. Because believe me when I say Bella, out of everyone I know you are the one who deserves it all. You deserve your happy perfect ending."

"Thanks Ang. That means a lot to me and I'll keep that in mind, I mean about telling him."

"No problem Bella. It's just that I love you like the sister I never had and I want you to be happy." She sniffled out.

"Awe sweetie don't cry."

"Damn it, I'm sorry these freaking pregnancy hormones must be getting to me already." She said as she wiped a tear away. "I just want you to be happy and I don't care if it's with Jake, Edward, or the mail man. I want you to be happy."

Once she recovered from her slight emotional break down, and well once I recovered as well, she all but forced me into the shower so I could start getting ready for my date.

Damn, not a date. I have to remember that. Not a date. Just some old acquaintances from high school getting together and catching up on what has been going on in each others lives over that past ten years.

Not a date. Not a date. Not a date.

Once I had myself convinced again that, I, in fact was not going out on a date, I turned to what Angela had told me.

She's right. It's that simple, she is right. As much as I do not want to discuss my feeling with Edward, it has to be done. One way or another he is the true key to my happiness.

I tried to let the hot water relax me, but it wasn't working like it normally did. I didn't know how to bring up the topic of feelings. How do you go about telling a person you have not seen in ten years and barely talked to them when you did know them that you were and are in love with them?

What the hell am I suppose to say, that after ten years I am completely and totally in love with you, yeah right, I'm sure that will go over well and not make me look like a total fool.

But one way or another I need to put how I feel out there. Even if I don't go all out and say I love him I need to tell him that I do have feelings for him and see if they are worth pursuing.

The conversation can go one of two ways. Either, I'm lucky and he has some feelings for me too and wants to try dating me or, he is going to laugh in my face and tell me that he has some beautiful woman at home and wants nothing to do with me.

While the last option is more likely to happen I could not stop myself from wishing the first scenario to come true.

I want so badly for Edward to say he loves and has loved since high school, but he was just too shy to approach me.

I would scold him and say we wasted ten perfectly good years of perfect harmony and togetherness of pure bliss and then I would lead him back to my hotel room so we could start making up for lost time.

Not even an hour after seeing him again and the dirty fantasies have already started up again.

Although, this is not the first time Edward and I have shared a bed in my mind. In fact he has made several appearances over the decade to help me relieve some of the stresses in my life.

Ugh, that sounds so bad. But what was I to do. No matter what, I could never bring myself to sleep with Jake. He could never give me the feelings Edward did, even if Edward is completely unaware of the things he can do to me.

Edward…I just can't seem to get him out of my mind. I wonder if he has changed after all these years or is he still the same person I fell in love with all those years ago.

Is he still the perfect gentleman. Opening the doors for women, helping them into their seats. He was always super polite, please and thank you were very common out of his mouth. But with Edward it never seemed forced, like he was only being polite so that he could something in return later.

You could always see that he was a genuinely polite man because that is how his parents had raised him to be. They raised him to be the strong, polite, considerate man he was and hopefully still is because I always found his well-behaved manners completely sexy.

There is just something about a man who treats a woman well, like and equal, but still does the little things, like holding the door open for her, that makes me completely happy. Like in a completely dirty manner. I want to throw him on the floor and have my way with him because for some reason unknown to me in my mind manners are just so freaking sexy.

What the hell is wrong with me? Can't I go like 10 minutes without picturing all the sexual things I would do with Edward?

Come on Bella you know none of that is going to happen if you do not suck it up and tell him how you feel.

At some point during this weekend I need to tell him how I feel or else I'm are going to drive myself crazy with thoughts of the beautiful muscular man with bronze hair and green eyes.

"Bella! Hurry your ass up I still need to shower too! You've been in there for forty-five minutes! Hurry it up!"

Shit. Have I been in here for that long?

I guess I have if Angela is yelling at me to hurry up.

"Okay Ang! I'm coming out right now!"

I quickly made sure everything was washed and clean so that I could be absolutely perfect for tonight.

When I opened the bathroom door I was meet by a not so happy looking pregnant woman.

"Sorry Ang, I was relaxing a bit and I just lost track of time, I'm really sorry." I said it with my poor attempt at the puppy dog look; I don't think it was working because she just responded with,

"Yeah, your going to be really sorry if there isn't any more hot water left. Now move out of my way so that I can shower and start getting ready.

I really hope there is some hot water left. Who knows what she will do to me when she is mad.

I really didn't notice the temperature of the water with all the thinking I had been doing. I guess multitasking was just not going to happen with Edward Cullen near by.

All my thoughts seemed to be on him and only him.

"Damn it Bella! There isn't any hot water left. Just for that I get pick your outfit and shoes out!"

Damn it, I knew I shouldn't have taken so long. It always comes back to bite me in the ass.

Two hours later was looking at myself in front of the giant mirror in our hotel room's bathroom.

I would never tell her, but I'm kind of glad I pissed Angela off; she makes me look good when she is mad.

I was wearing a sleeveless light pink scoop neck top, medium washed jeans with a pair of soft gold gladiator sandals that did have a high heel, but I want to look good for Edward, so I would pray to every God known to person that I would not fall on my ass tonight.

My make-up was done really soft, a bit of mascara, a light shimmer of a golden pink eye shadow and a clear gloss on my lips. My hair was down with a slight curl to it with my bangs swept to the side, in all I really looked good.

"Thank you Angela, you did awesome job. I love it!" I gushed out.

"Wow are you feeling okay?" she asked with a slight laugh.

"Yeah. Why do you ask?"

"You never let me do any of this willingly. You always put up a huge fight."

"What can I say, I'm excited about dinner."

"You like him."

"Who?" I knew who she was talking about, but I thought we had established the fact that I liked him earlier.

Instead of pointing this out to her I decided to act innocent about the whole topic.

"Edward. You really like him. And I mean like, you really like him. Not just like some high school crush. You want to date him."

Well I kind of love him, but no need to tell her that and freak her out.

"Well duh!"

"Real mature Bella!"

As much as I did not want to do this, I knew I had to.

"Ang. As my best friend I need your help." I asked with my best smile.

"Bella, I'm your best friend not a psychologist." She snorted out.

"Very funny you smart-ass. But seriously I need your help. You were right when you said that one way or another I had to tell Edward how I felt. I need to do it tonight and if I don't do it tonight I never will and then I will live my life wondering what could have been and I just cant live like that!" I stared to get a little hysterical towards the end of that little speech.

"Okay Bell calm down before I have to slap you. I'll help you out anyway I can. Okay so first we need you to calm down and not freak out anymore. Can you do that?"

I just nodded yes; I was at a loss for words.

"Next we are going to go to the restaurant and have a wonderful meal with the guys and catch up on all that has been going on through out the years. Then when the time is right I will make sure that the other boys leave when I do so that you and Edward can have some quiet time to do a little catching up of your own. Simple as that."

"Simple as that. Yeah the getting us alone is simple enough. But what happens when I have to actually talk to him and tell him. You know how shy I can get."

I wad getting hysterical again.

"Bella, you said you would stay calm for me. Now take a deep breath and relax your pretty little head. Trust me when I say that once you get Mr. Sexy all to yourself your natural woman instincts will take over and he will be yours. So again I am going to tell you to relax and just enjoy yourself."

"I hope your right Ang. Because if this goes wrong I am so going to blame you."

"And how do you figure it would be my fault."

"It just would be. You're pregnant and talked me into something crazy. Pregnant woman do crazy things all the time so it wouldn't be all that hard to convince people that it was indeed your fault. But then again we wouldn't tell anyone about this…"

"Bella Shut up! You're rambling again."

"Sorry."

"Yeah whatever. Lets just get your crazy ass to the restaurant so you can tell Mr. Sexy how you feel and I can eat because I am freaking starving."

I took and deep breathe, trying my best to calm my damn nervous down. It was kind of working. After a second attempt at calming my nervous heart I was ready, well I was at least a little less nervous.

Scratch that.

I was still scared shitless about how this night could end, but I needed to tell Edward how I felt, just for my own piece of mind.

"Alright Ang. lets go before we are late. We don't want to keep destiny waiting." I said with a slightly breathless laugh.

We walked out of our room and into the elevator in a comfortable silence.

On the outside I hope I looked calm, cool and collected; because on the inside I was anything but calm, cool, and collected.

I was an absolute wreck.

Before I knew it we were at the restaurant and letting the hostess know we would be meeting the Cullen party here.

As we were lead to the table I caught sight of the three men. Emmett and Jasper were looking great in their own way, but Edward, he took my breath away. He was absolutely gorgeous.

He was wearing a pair of black slacks that fit him perfectly and he matched them with a beautiful deep green button up shirt. He had the sleeves rolled up to his elbows, exposing his strong long arms for me to gawk at all night. He had a few of the buttons at the top undone. Enough for me to see his beautiful chest but not enough for me to see it all, he had me begging for more of his glorious body. The beautiful deep green of the shirt left his already beautiful green eyes sparkling even more.

He looked absolutely perfect.

When we arrived at the table all three men greeted us.

"Hello Bella, Angela. How are you two doing tonight?"

As I was getting ready to answer, Edward pulled out my seat for me and I quickly realized how close he was standing next to me. He leaned in so I could feel his cool breath against my skin and he whispered in my ear

"You look absolutely beautiful Bella."

"Thank you, you look pretty good yourself." I replied with a shy smile and a blush. I could not help but also inhale his beautiful scent. He smelled so good, and so sexy. Everything about this man was perfect.

And then he shot me that beautiful half smile of his that has always made my knees weak for him and even after all this time, that smile still has that affect.

He replied with a soft thank you and finished helping me into my seat.

We were all sitting making small talk when the waitress appeared to take our meal and drink orders. I noticed she was staring at Edward and I could not help the flash of jealousy that ran through my body. Who did this woman think she was? I finally had to calm myself down and reminded myself that I had no claim on Edward…yet.

As the night carried on, I had to admit that Angela was good. She had the plan in full motion. She was engaging Jasper and Emmett in conversation leaving just Edward and I in our own little world. I wondered if they would be leaving us alone soon.

We both seemed a little shy but we both tried to make an effort to talk to one another.

And we both did make that effort to talk to each other.

I was able to find out that Edward had indeed become a doctor and was now living in Seattle. He had his own home, drove a silver Volvo and most importantly he was single.

I learned that the woman he was with had cheated on him and he caught them together in his house.

Two things happened when I found that out. First I wanted to smack this woman for being stupid, who in their right mind would want to cheat on this perfect man. Then I wanted to kiss at her feet for being so stupid, if she wouldn't have been so stupid, I would not have the open opportunity to tell Edward how I feel about him.

As our conversation continued I noticed he seemed so interested in life that I knew I was going to tell him how I felt about him. I knew I had to tell him how I felt. I just needed to wait for the perfect opportunity.

I was hoping that the perfect opportunity would come soon because I was starting to get antsy and with every word that came out of the mans mouth I was falling even more in love with him.

okay so there it is!

And thank you again to everyone who has reviewed. I don't think I can thank you all enough, but I will surely try ! :)

next chapter we will see a slightly more description of the dinner(Trust me it will not be the whole dinner from Edward's POV) and things will be confessed and maybe a wedding!

See you all next Chapter!

BTW, a very sexy man by the name of Edward Cullen asked that you all review!
