Chapter 4

One Month Later

BPOV

My back was hurting, my feet were cramped up, my thighs cramped up too and I'm tired as hell.

I couldn't tell Edward this.

He would insist I sleep in his bed and then he would have to experience the pain I am.

Kill me.

"Morning." He would said when he would wake up every morning and run into the washroom, shirtless.

Really, is that really necessary?

EVERY DAM MORNING!

Besides, he has a girlfriend who he was visiting in NYC when we met.

It was the evening now and I couldn't go to bed...the agony!

"Edward," I approached.

"Yes?"

"Remember when I moved in you told me if I was ever uncomfortable to tell you..."

"The floor..." He guested.

"I don't mind sleeping on the floor I just...my legs, feet, back and thighs hurt and I was wondering, since you told me that if I ever needed a massage you would give me one so I was wondering if that is...allowed."

He laughed. "Be my guest," he gestured for me to come and sit on his bed.

I did facing him and stretching my feet out so he could work his magic.

He touched his warm hands to my cold me and then I was practically out. They hurt like a bitch and this felt good.

"Good?" He asked when he was done with the feet and I nodded.

"Could you do my back?" That was the worst and I wasn't going to have him do my thighs...that's taking it too far.

He nodded and uncross his legs and gestured for me to sit in between them. What the hay? I knew I was physically attracted to him.

I scooted inside and he began to massage my shoulder area.

After about a half an hour...he began to tickle my back and that was when I was out like a light...on Edward's body. Shit.

When I woke up and went to shower in the washroom I saw a note on the mirror.

Hey, Bella.

Went to NYC to visit Jessica for the day and I'll be back in the evening.

Don't leave the place please. You don't have keys...I took them. It's a long story.

See you later.

Edward.

See, he went to visit his girlfriend for some "I miss you" sex.

What to do, what to do.

I showered, had breakfast, finished my book that I was writing, watched TV ate lunch, then began to make dinner for when he arrived.

Who knows when that'll be?

EPOV (A/N: Yay!!!!)

I hope Bella isn't mad when she wakes up and finds I'm gone and she can't leave the apartment but there was something I needed to do.

Last night, I have Bella a massage and we fell asleep on my bed, she was comfy and I'll admit, I was comfy. Heck I'll admit to the part that I am physically attracted to her.

I rang Jessica's doorbell and when she saw me standing at the door she ran and hugged me, kissed me all over my face and then asked me what I was doing here.

"We need to break up." I told her.

"What?"

"I said-"

"I know what you said. Why? You can't break up with me."

"But I am. Screw the whole family thing."

"They will be mad."

I shrugged. "I never loved you."

"I know but you can't leave me. We are supposed to be together."

"There is someone else."

"That girl you are living with?"

I nodded. "I'm sorry Jess."

"Goodbye Edward. Never come here again." And she shut the door on my face.

That was easier than I thought.

I drove back home in time for dinner and when I walked in, Bella's eyes lit up and I could smell the dinner on the stove.

I hugged her and then set my stuff down as she set the table.

"How was your day?" She asked.

"Easier than I thought."

"Meaning..."

"I broke up with her."

"Why?" She asked, suddenly really curious.

"You see Bella," I began sitting across from her at the island, "Jessica and I have a arranged marriage. We had to date and then get married but it was never what I wanted. I never loved her and I've been wanting to do that for a while but there was something keeping me from doing it and when that thing finally came along, I knew I couldn't prolong it any longer."

"What thing?"

"Someone."

Her eyes dropped down. Obviously she didn't realize that the someone was her but I wasn't ready to tell her that I actually had feeling for Bella and it's only been a month that I've lived with her. I wasn't ready and she's been through a lot.

That night when Bella went to bed on my bed because I insisted, I noticed that my computer screen was on and I went to shut it off seeing that Bella's book was open and finished and I read it from the beginning until the end, five in the morning.

A/N: Hey!! Remember...Edward is an Editor, publisher with his own company....most of you can guess what'll happen next!!!
