In this story the relationship between E/B will move forward kind of quickly, because in my Twilight mind they are soul mates who don't want to waste time and recognize their other halves.

CHAPTER FOUR
EPOV
Is it possible to fall in love with someone within twenty-four hours of meeting them?
Does love at first sight really exist?
These were the questions I repeatedly asked myself throughout the night. I continued to replay that amazing kiss in my head over and over again. The feel of Bella's small, curvy, soft, and warm body against mine was unlike anything I'd ever experienced. No other woman had ever affected me the way my Bella had. I don't think I've ever been that aroused in my life.
…and just thinking about her sleeping just a few feet away from me wasn't helping matters at all.
Bella was so insanely beautiful, I just couldn't help myself. I love that she's so oblivious to just how beautiful she really is. She's not vain and conceited like most of the women I have met. She didn't mind wearing jeans, a t-shirt, and sneakers, and as far as I could tell she didn't really wear make-up either. She's just naturally gorgeous.
I had to make her mine. There was no way in hell I would ever let another man have her. I don't know just quite what had happened, but apparently overnight I'd transformed into a possessive caveman.
It wasn't just her beauty that attracted me to her. No, it was also her laugh, how smart she was. She didn't talk about frivolous things, she was well read, she was so sweet and caring, and an all round genuine person.
I was falling so hard and so fast it felt like my head was spinning from it. In a case like this I needed to talk to my parents. If anyone knew how I felt, it was them; they also fell in love rather quickly. They knew they loved each other at first sight, they were so sure that they got married a couple of weeks after they met.
I always thought they were crazy and just exaggerating, but now I'm starting to think they were just crazy in love.
Bella had changed everything.
I think I could totally relate now. I could absolutely picture myself having a life with Bella. I wanted to be the only man that ever touched her, to be married with children and the whole nine yards. Just imagining her belly swollen with my child made me hard as steel.
I nearly reached down to palm my shaft and stroke it at the thought. I wondered if Bella could see herself with me that way. Only time will tell I guess.
After I spent most of the night tossing and turning, morning finally came. I jumped out bed, picked out a pair jeans and a t-shirt and after quickly washing my face and brushing my teeth, I hopped in the shower and washed my hair and the rest of my body.
Practically running out of the shower, I dried myself and speedily got dressed and ran my hand through my hair quickly. I was in such a hurry to see Bella this morning that I literally raced down the stairs.
Once I got downstairs I heard noises coming from the kitchen. I walked to the entry way and froze at the sight before me.
Bella was standing at the stove with her back to me dancing to whatever she was listening to from her earphones. She had her hair up in a high pony-tail and an off-the-shoulder sweater leaving the creamy skin of her beautiful neck and shoulder exposed. She wore a pair of tight sweat shorts leaving her long toned legs open for me to mentally devour. Her shorts fit the curve of her hips and ass perfectly.
And…cue the hard on.
You know that question that your friends ask you? You know the one; whether you're a tits or an ass man? Well with Bella, all of her was simply glorious, so I would have to say I'm a 'tass' man. Her tits and ass were phenomenal; it would be cruel to make myself choose between the two.
But I can sure think long and hard about it tonight. Pun intended.
I prayed that she wouldn't slap me for what I was about to do. I was hoping that after what we had shared last night, this would be alright. I quietly walked up behind her, placed my right hand on her waist, and bent down to place a light kiss on her open shoulder. She jumped slightly, then instantly relaxed when she realized it was just me.
"Good morning, Beautiful."
"Oh Edward, you scared me," she stammered while blushing slightly, "good morning."
"I thought I would be up before you this morning. What are you making?" I asked her.
"Just some caramelized French toast with a side of sausage. I hope that's ok," she replied.
"Of course it's fine Bella. I told you you're free to use anything in the house. Besides, I love your cooking." I wanted nothing more to nuzzle the side of her neck right now, but I didn't know how she would react, so I refrained.
"Thank you, Edward."
"No Bella, thank you."
We made small talk while we ate; we asked each other questions about our hobbies and other past times. I found out that she loved to write when she's not reading, which is something else we have in common; because while I loved to write and compose music in my free time I loved being able to write. I smiled at the thought that it was something else we could share.
"Yeah, I have a private music room that's hidden behind a secret door in my room that's sound proof. I'll show you sometime."
"I'd really like that."
After we finished our breakfast, I told her to go and relax in the family room while I did the cleaning. Just after I had finished drying the last dish I heard Bella from the family room.
"Oh my God, Edward! There's a guy on TV that could be your identical twin. He looks just like you."
I felt my muscles stiffen, and a knot began to form in the pit of my stomach. As I walked swiftly into the room, two thoughts kept repeating themselves in my head.
Fuck, fuck, fuck. Please don't leave me, please don't leave me…
I found Bella sitting cross-legged on the sofa staring and listening intently to the television.
I turned toward the TV to see an entertainment news reporter. "People's Magazine number one hottest and one of the youngest wealthiest bachelors, Edward Cullen, was seen out having lunch with his family yesterday afternoon. While out with his family at a local hot spot, a photographer took these snap shots, and noticed that the gorgeous middle Cullen was the only one going solo.
The screen switched to several pictures of me and my family out yesterday before I had headed over here. I'd never noticed anyone taking photos at the time, I must have been lost in thought. The camera focused back on the reporter.
"Ladies could it be that this handsome piece of man-meat still hasn't found his Mrs. Right and is still on the look-out? I definitely wouldn't mind being his Mrs. Right-Now. Back to you A.J."
"Edward…" I heard Bella's now timid voice come from behind me and I was dreading seeing the look on her face.
I turned towards her and slowly dragged my eyes up to hers.
Her head was tilted to the side with her hands clasped together in her lap. She didn't look upset just confused. "Edward? What's going on Edward?"
I didn't know where to start and I was so afraid she would run for the hills. Bella wasn't one of those women who would stay just because I was rich and famous. I was afraid she would feel like I've been lying to her this whole time and wouldn't want anything to do with me.
"Well….ok, I'm just going to come right out and say it. What you just saw on TV was true, I am famous and wealthy, and that's why I was so surprised you didn't recognize me when you asked me for my last name. I didn't want you to treat me differently or for you to think you had to act a certain way around me."
"Bella you're so genuine and I've enjoyed our time together so much and I don't want things to change. I'm still the same guy I was yesterday and this morning. Please believe me."
She bit down into her bottom lip with a contemplative look on her face before she replied, "I believe you Edward; I'm just shocked is all. You've been nothing but sweet to me, but I don't want you to feel like you have to hide from me. Especially if we want this," she motioned between the two of us, "to continue, we have to be honest with one another."
She blushed and tensed after saying this, like she wasn't sure that that was what I wanted. Silly Bella.
"I do Bella. I care so much for you already, that's why I was afraid. I know this is all new and we've just met, but it doesn't feel that way to me. I feel like we've known each other our whole lives. I want you to know everything about me and I'm looking forward to seeing where this thing between us is going."
Her shoulders dropped in a form of relief. She walked over to me, wrapped her arms around my waist and laid her head on my chest. "I feel the same way Edward."
Instantly, without thought, my arms wrapped around her and I began rubbing my hands softly up and down her lower back. I pressed my face into her hair, just breathing her in. She smelled so good.
Then an idea struck me.
After a short pause I continued, "Bella? Would you go on a date with me tonight?"
She gave me a gentle smile, "I would love to Edward, but it's still storming outside. How would that work?"
"We're going to have our first date here. I would like to cook dinner for you, candles and everything. I'll tell you all you want to know over dinner. How does that sound?"
I didn't have to wait long for her answer.
"That sounds…perfect."
We just stayed standing there holding each other, just swaying back and forth really. After a while I broke the silence.
"So, what do you want to do until then?"
"Well, I would really love to take a look in that secret music room of yours."
I chuckled a little at her shy demeanor. I grabbed her hand, kissed her palm, and lead her upstairs to my room. There was a secret door in the wall behind my office in my room, the decorative drapes kept it well hidden. I moved them aside and pressed on the door for it to pop open.
The motion detector lights came on automatically once we stepped through the door, lighting the whole room.
Bella gasped beside me, "Wow, Edward. It's so beautiful." The whole room was decorated in various shades of gold, from the walls to the lining around the hardwood floor. In the middle of the room sat one of my most prized possessions; my sleek black baby grand piano.
I grabbed her hand and sat her beside me on the piano bench, excited to show her my things.
"What would you like to hear?"
"I don't know…surprise me."
I started playing Esme's song, it one of the first songs I'd ever composed, it was very soft, but cheerful.
I looked to my right at Bella. She had her eyes closed with a smile on her face, swaying slowing side to side. She was beyond beautiful with that serene look her face.
When I finished playing the last key, I removed my hands from the piano keys and gently took Bella's face in both of my large hands as she opened her eyes.
She had the most peaceful look on her face and I felt as if I could see my soul in her chocolate colored eyes.
"Bella, can I kiss you?" She giggled quietly in response.
"Edward. You never have to ask."
My lips met her soft warm ones in a slow but passionate kiss. I gently nibbled on her bottom lip and swept my tongue across it begging for entrance. When her tongue touched mine we both moaned simultaneously, I rubbed my hand up her back and into the hair at the nape of neck and she did the same.
Things moved quickly after that, because the next thing I new Bella was straddling my lap, which was quickly becoming one of my favorite positions to be in. She pressed her hips down into mine and it created the best kind of friction. My hands instantly grabbed onto her hips and grounded her down onto me a little harder.
Fuck me why do we have to be wearing clothes?
She let out another erotic whimpering sound; her sounds alone were enough to make me cum quicker than a twelve year old boy seeing a pair of real tits for the first time.
"Oh Edward," she said my name breathlessly.
"Fuck, Bella," I was barely able to pant out the words, "Baby, you have no idea what you do to me."
"Oh. I think I do Edward," she replied in a low seductive voice. Just listening to her made me want to bury myself deep inside of her and never surface.
Reluctantly I pulled away because no matter how much I wanted to make love to her, I refused to rush things. I wanted her to truly know I wanted her for her, not just her body. I wanted to work for it, I wanted to prove to myself that I was actually deserving of this angel in my arms.
Before I completely removed my lips from her skin, I dragged them down her neck and sucked on her pulse point softly. I kissed down to her clavicle and placed little open mouthed kisses across it. While I was at her neck, Bella tossed her head back to give me better access, minutes passed while I worshipped her neck before I finally moved them back to her lips placing a few slow pecks on her soft, plump lips.
It was then that I finally realized I'd had my hands on her ass.
I mentally scolded myself. "Sorry." Not really.
"Don't apologize, Edward. I wasn't complaining. I love the feel of your hands on me."
I smiled that crooked smile that made her breathing speed up and her heart race. "That's good Bella, because I never want to stop."
I continued after another sweet kiss, "But, I want us to take our time. I want to prove to you that I'm willing to work for this relationship with you because you're precious to me Bella. You deserve nothing but the best, and I just want to show you that I'm the best man for you."
"I still have so much to tell you tonight at dinner Bella, and I just want you to make an informed decision on whether or not I'm what you want. I come with a lot of baggage and it's important that you know everything."
I'm not sure when I came to this conclusion, but I realized it was true.
"Edward, you mean so much to me already, and you've already shown me what an amazing man you are, and I know you are the only man for me. I don't know how I know that, but I just feel it deep within me. My mother always told me when you feel it, you just know; and I know Edward. I don't think that whatever you have to tell me tonight will make any difference."
My heart clenched at her words, was I really this lucky? I hoped I wasn't dreaming.
She went on to say, "If I've learned anything it's to trust my instincts."
Bella had a contemplative look her face but then she began to speak again after moments pause.
"This is going to sound strange Edward, but on my way to Seattle something just told me to take that short cut. It's something I would never have done, but I just got this feeling that that's where I was supposed to go, and look where that led me."
I grinned at her logic, "It's like fate."
There was no other explanation. This had to be just that. Fate
