Edward,

I'm sorry about taking off.

I over-reacted. Just about to go to bed.

I'll call you tomorrow.

Bella xx

After hearing back from Bella I felt tired myself, so I went for a shower, dressed in my flannel pajama bottoms and went to sleep.

Chapter 28:

BPOV

After I text Edward back I felt guilty for not just calling him, but decided that I had already told him I was going to bed, so there was no use worrying over it now. I would call him in the morning.

As the hot water form the shower washed over my body it felt calming and relaxing and it made me feel as though I shouldn't be angry with Alice because she didn't actually know that I didn't like having money spent on me. I would have to talk to her tomorrow and say sorry.

After drying myself off I got into my flannel bottoms and tank top ready for bed.

- - - - -

I opened my eyes after the annoying beep of my alarm clock continued to disturb me. I hit the button and the noise stopped. It was Wednesday today and I had to work.

I got up and changed into my work clothes, Jessica didn't really believe in having work uniforms and I totally agreed but I liked to stay comfortable and still seem fashionable seeing as though it was a fashion store. I usually only wore two different outfits, but I picked my suit pants outfit today. It looked like it was going to be a bit colder today. (Outfit found on Profile, Imagine in with flats instead of heels though.)

I wore my black suit pants with my floral patterned, black and white tube top. My gray shot sleeved mid torso jacket with my hot pink ballet flats. I pulled back my fringe with two of my black rose hair clips and finished off by putting my cell and purse into my big hand bag. It was black and had a beautiful white flower on it.

Then I headed downstairs and made some toast. As I was waiting for my toast to pop, instead of reading the paper, I decided to call Edward. I pulled out my phone from my bag and scrolled to find his number, then I hit the little green cell.

It rang only twice before I was graced with his answer.

"Hello?" Edward spoke.

"Hey, Edward. It's Bella."

"Oh, hey Bella. How are you feeling?" He asked hesitantly.

"Much better. Actually could you please put Alice on the phone, I want to apologize to her for over-reacting yesterday. I know that she didn't know I disliked people spending money on me and I shouldn't have been so rude." I pause but before he gave the phone away I started again, "And Edward I'm sorry for running off on you. I know I should have stayed and I'm sorry for ruining your day." I finished.

"Bella, It's okay. You don't have to apologize, Alice should have asked you first and I know how carried away she can get. I should have warned yo-"

I cut him off, "But Edward you did warn me, and that's why I'm sorry. I should have just told Alice that I didn't like people spending money on me and just let her have her fun for the rest of yesterday instead of storming off like a hormonal teenager." He chuckled at that, and I was glad that he wasn't completely angry with me - although he should have been - maybe I just need to spend more time with him and get to know him more. Maybe we could do something when I finish work today.

"Here's Alice Bella." Edward said as he handed the phone over.

"Bella?" Alice asked.

"Alice I'm sorry about yesterday, I shouldn't have over-reacted like that." I told her honestly.

"It's ok Bella. I should have asked first. But I like to buy things for people. I guess it's kind of an addiction." She said, "but definitely not a bad one." She giggled.

"Alice, how about you come down to Fashion Forever and we can hang out a bit. I have work but we can talk and get to know one another better. How does that sound?" I asked her.

"Oh my gosh Bella! Are you serious?" she screamed down the receiver.

"Yep I have to go now, tell Edward I said goodbye. I'll see you later."

"Okay, Bye Bella." Alice called as I killed the line.

After talking to Alice I ate my toast and drove to work without interruptions. Dad's car was still in the driveway so I was assuming that he was doing as I said and staying home for another couple of days.

"Hey Bella." Jessica called as I walked into 'Fashion Forever'.

"Hey Jess. Slow day today?" I asked.

"Yeh it should be. You want to head off early?"

"Yeh, well Alice and Edward are going to come by and I might go home with them. If it's alright? I mean I can stay and close up if you want…"

"Alice? Edward? Are you like going out with him now? What happened with you and Jake?" She asked. Jessica was the gossip queen of Forks. If something was going down, Jess knew about it.

So, I sat her down and explained the whole situation, once again, with no interruptions. It really was a slow day today. We had just 3 customers before I left with Alice and Edward at 2:00. I had talked earlier with Alice and introduced her to Jess, and then there was Edward. He just wouldn't leave me alone. Everywhere I went he was following me and wrapping his arms around my torso just to give me a kiss on the neck, which sent me into a frenzy, and did not help me get any work don what so ever.

Edward rove me back to my house in his Volvo. I started getting out and so did Edward.

"What do you think you're doing?" I asked him suggestively.

"I'm staying at your place for a while." He told me matter of factly.

"Oh yeh? What about your Volvo, huh?" I asked.

"Alice." He said leaving the keys in the ignition.

Alice didn't hesitate to jump over the space between the backseat and the front seat. She started the car again and turned around to head back to the Cullen house, waving out the car window as she drove off.

Edward just chuckled as I lead him to the front door, taking his hand in mine as we walked.

I opened the front door and Edward walked straight to the staircase - probably going to my room.

"Dad must have gone out…" I whispered to myself on the way to the kitchen.

"You're not coming?" Edward asked when he realized that I wasn't following him.

"No, I'm hungry. You want something to eat?" I asked in return.

"Yeh…ok."

"What would you like?"

"What have you got?" He replied with a question.

"What do you feel like?" Two could play at that game.

"Ok you got me." He chuckled and sat down in the chair my dad usually sat at.

I walked over to the fridge, inspecting it to see what I could make. I found all of the ingredients that I would need to make WAFFLES! They were one of my favorite foods to eat, along with most Italian foods and my awesome fish-fry.

I gathered everything up and sat it on the kitchen bench whilst I grabbed a mixing bowl from the cupboard.

"What are you making for me?" Edward asked, I had barely even known he was still in the same room, he was so quiet, the noise startle me a bit.

"Um…Waffles." I told him excitedly.

I started throwing the ingredients into the bowl and mixing them together, when I felt to hands on the side of my hips - I hadn't noticed that I had begun to hum and sway my hips - but Edward must have like what my momma gave me cos he started swaying his hips along with mine, grinding into me.

I spun myself around to face him, leaving the mixing bowl on the bench. I wrapped my hands around his neck and whispered seductively in his ear.

"You like what you see Eddie boy?"
