EPOV

"No Edward. Don't go. Stay with me please." I turned around slowly to see if she was still asleep and she was. Mom wasn't kidding when she said Bella talked in her sleep. Wow.

I tried to quietly leave again. When I heard her saying something else. I didn't quite hear what she said but it sounded like. "Wow. Edward kiss me again." I felt like I was intruding into her private thoughts so I went downstairs. Smiling. So Bella was dreaming of me was she.

"Hey Edward what's that smile for?", Alice asked winking knowing I was just in my room. It was like she knew something about Bella that I didn't. "Let me guess Bella said something in her sleep again didn't she." I nodded I didn't really want to say to much those were Bella's thoughts and I didn't feel right about sharing them.

"Good night Alice." I hugged her and she went off to her room. I knew that Jasper and Rosalie had gone home. So it was just me, my family and Bella in the house. I fell asleep thinking about Bella in her towel and her calling my name. Wanting me to kiss her and stay with her. I knew it was in her sleep but still did she really think of me that way.

BPOV

I really thought he was done in the shower. I didn't mean to walk in on him. I think I was more embarrassed then he was. That's why when he made I quick exit I tried to sleep. I didn't think I would but I guess I was exhausted from everything that had happened that I fell asleep quickly.

When I woke up the sun was brightly shining. I am glad that the restaurant was closed for awhile. When dad went in to the hospital he told me that he didn't want us to keep it open the whole time he was in there. So he made us promise him that when the doors closed on the first Saturday of Summer Vacation they would stay closed until he was well enough to open it himself. I knew the real reason why he did it though, he didn't want me to enjoy my summer holidays. Even though it was closed I still didn't want to leave dad so when Renee heard this she wanted me to come for the rest of summer break but I told her that I couldn't. She was disappointed but she understood.

I went to get dressed when I realized that I didn't have any of my own clothes here so I would have to quickly go home and get some. I hope Edward doesn't mind but I am going to borrow his shirt for just a little while.

I quickly pulled on my shorts and went downstairs. The family was up discussing their plans for the day. "Good morning, sweetheart, how did you sleep?" Esme asked as she handed me some breakfast. "Actually I slept pretty well." I dreamt of Edward all night. I don't know why I have such intense feelings for him but I do.

"So Bella what are your plans for today?", Carlisle asked. I knew Edward was looking at me but I was afraid that he might have heard something last night as he was leaving. I know I talk in my sleep and if I remember dreaming of him did I talk about him too.

Just then Jasper and Rosalie showed up. The two couples spend like all their time together I always feel like a fifth wheel.

"Actually before last night. I was going to clean and then go see Charlie but that kind of changed so now I don't know." I told them. "I know I need to go to the house and get some clothes and then I was going to see Charlie."

"Well we are going to the beach? Would you like to come?" Esme asked me. I could see Alice and Rosalie smiling, nodding. I reluctantly agreed I don't like wearing swimsuits or anything that shows off too much skin. I put my dishes in the sink and went to my truck to go see Charlie. Edward followed me out. "Bella are you going to be okay going back to your house?" he asked full of concern. "Actually I'll go there later after we get back. It sounds like everyone wants to leave fairly soon."

Carlisle came out just then. "Hey Bella do you want to go together? I want to check on a couple of patients myself. Then we'll stop at your house okay?"

"Sure, do you want to take your car or my new ride?" I said.

"Actually I was hoping to get a ride in that thing today? So we'll take yours. Edward did you want to come." Carlisle asked. I laughed and held my breath waiting for his answer. He just said he was going to help mom at. I let my breath out. I think it sounded wrong because he looked at me strangely. I was relieved he wasn't coming not for the reason he was thinking I was relieved because I needed some time to figure out some stuff with a clear head. Having him near me I just kept thinking about the lack of towel and the water dripping from his hair. I kept thinking that I wanted to help him dry off.

"Well Bella thanks for getting me here. Sweet ride. I'm going to come check on Charlie last and then we'll leave okay." Carlisle said as he helped from down from the truck.

"Thank you." I said when we got in he went to his office and I went to Charlie's room. He was sitting up glaring at me. "Why didn't you come and tell me?" I knew he was talking about the break in. "Because Carlisle doesn't want you to be stressed right now?" he seemed to calm down when I said Carlisle's name.

"The police said you weren't home when it happened. Thank god." He said. "No actually I was already at the Cullens for a barbeque. I was going to spend the night but then something really stupid happened and I left. When I got home I noticed that the front door was open. Alice and Rose pulled up and took me back home."

"Was anything taken?" he asked. "I don't know dad. I didn't go in. I went straight back to the Cullen's and spent the night." He looked relieved.

"Well Jason came by this morning to tell me that the restaurant is now cleaned and closed up until I feel better to run it again."

"you know I didn't mind doing it dad." I assured him.

"I know but I didn't want your whole summer ruined by having to fill in for me. So lets just leave it as it is." I leaned over to kiss him on the cheek. "Thanks dad."

"So tell me what kind of vehicle did you get yourself." He asked. Carlisle walked in, "I only have one thing to say about your daughters choice of vehicles. She really knows how to pick them." and with that he opened the blinds to a view of the parking lot. I purposely parked really close so he could see it.

"Wow Bells can you get into it?" he said still in awe of my choice. I knew he would love it.

"Well Charlie your last round of tests came back looking good and your stats are good so if everything goes well for the next couple days you could be home by Thursday. And don't worry Bella is more than welcome to stay with us for as long as necessary."

"Thank you Carlisle. Now Bells what are you planning for today?"

"We are going to the beach for the day. Will you be okay here for the afternoon? I can stay if you want?" I looked at home.

"nice of you too offer sweetheart but Billy is coming by this afternoon and we are going to watch the game on t.v. So you go have some fun and I'll see you soon." He started closing his eyes.

"Well Bells lets get going. I know that they are anxious to get going. By the way Alice told me to tell you forget going home to get a swimsuit. She bought you one in Paris."

I groaned he laughed. We drove back to his house in talking about Alice and her shopping it was a big family joke.

I didn't even get a chance to really close my door, when I got dragged up the stairs to Alice's room. She couldn't wait to show me the suit she bought me.

The first one was a blue two piece that barely had any material. So not something I would not wear and the other one was a one piece but it had just a touch more material then the two piece. I decided on the one piece. It actually looked like a two piece with a little material to hold the pieces together. I sighed.

"Bella if you want Edward to notice you. You need to wear one of these. I am pretty sure Tanya and Lauren are going to be there. Especially because Mom and Dad were talking about it." I nodded and reluctantly agreed. I wanted Edward to notice me but I didn't want all the attention that the suit was going to get me. I let Rose and Alice quickly do my hair and makeup.

When we got downstairs, the rest of the family had already left, so we climbed into my car and went to join the family.

When we got to the beach we noticed that a crowd had already formed around the Cullen family. Well mostly Edward. A lot of them had heard through the grapevine that he was home and that he was absolutely gorgeous. He was playing Frisbee with Carlisle so I don't think he noticed me yet.

I jumped out of my truck and started walking towards the beach I still had my t-shirt on when I got there however I pulled it off. That's when heads started turning. I heard more catcalls and whistles then I cared for.

I was just about to put my shirt back on when I saw him walking this way. That's when Alice came over to me, "what are you doing? Leave it off." "I want to but Al I am getting way more attention than I really wanted. I might have to hire Em and Jazz as bodyguards for the afternoon and that would spoil the day for you and Rose." I said to her.

She smiled, "I told you it would work he can't take his eyes off of you. Actually Tanya just tried talking to him and he brushed her off. He is still walking this way. I think I have an idea." She quickly walked over to him and whispered something in his ear. He just nodded and walked my way. He whispered in my ear, "Just play along okay?" I just nodded I think I lost all ability to talk when he touched my neck to move my hair out of the way.

Then he kissed me in front of everyone. I threw my arms around him and got really into the kiss he seemed to really be enjoying himself. I had to break away because I kept remembering how I felt after seeing him in the shower and I had to remember we weren't alone.

When we finally pulled apart all I could do was stare at him.

"What took you so long to get here? I told you I wanted to spend the day with you." He asked me as we sat on the blanket together. I was still stunned into silence I knew that he was supposed to be acting but wow. Alice must have asked him to do her a favour and spend the day with me. He agreed cause no one can really say no to Alice.

"Bella the way you look right now has every boy here panting for you." Rose came over to tell me when Edward went to get us a couple of drinks. "Not to mention the death glares that were coming from Tanya. She really wanted to get her hooks into him." Alice commented looking over at Tanya.

Emmett and Jasper came over and talked the girls into going for a swim. I declined saying that I was going to wait for Edward. Carlisle and Esme went for a walk so I was alone. When the twin bitches realized that Edward wasn't going to be paying attention to them and the guys decided they didn't want to mess with Emmett. They left to go find a different party down the beach.

All of a sudden I felt something cold on my back. I jumped up to see Edward with a huge cup standing over me. I got up and chased him down the beach into the water, when we got there he caught me up in his arms.
