A/N: Twilight and all its characters, settings, etc belong to the great Stephenie Meyer. I just like to play with them.

O. ! I've had a really shitty week and have been busy with work, school, my car being broken into, a break-up, and moving! I know right! *sigh*

Thank you, Aurora18!

This story is rated M for Language, Possible Violence, Sexual content, and Adult Situations.

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.

* Lots of you are wondering whether Edward really 'did the deed' with Heidi or not. I won't tell you right now, but you will read more about that night in the future and it's going to be full of drama….

^^^ I've had this Chapter written since 2012 and forgot that I wrote it so it wasn't posted. The above comments were written back in 2012 also. STILL, big thanks to my then beta Aurora18.

CHAPTER EIGHT

EPOV

Damn….

Leaving Bella was so damn difficult. The smell of her lingered on my clothes and the taste of her soft red strawberry lips lingered in my mouth. I never wanted to get rid of any of it. This was my own sick little way of keeping her with me always.

I made it back to my car and drove home in a daze. The whole drive was one big blur. I was thankful I didn't have an accident. I parked in the parking garage, grabbed my bags, and headed up to my penthouse condo. As I walked into the door, it felt cold and empty. I looked to my black leather couch and pictured Bella there. I closed the front door after walking further into the condo and too my bedroom to unpack and remove my shoes.

I had barely removed my sweaty socks, when I heard the sound of the door opening and high pitched voice calling out to me.

"Oh, dear brother o' mine!"

With an exasperated sigh, I dropped my head, and stood from my perch at the foot of my bed to walked toward the living room. Even though my little sister was disturbing the piece with her high soprano voice I couldn't keep the smile off my face, so as soon as I came into view and she took a good look at my face, she knew something was up.

"Your different," was the first thing she said to me, a bemused look on her face.

I decided to play with her a little. "How am I different, Alice? I'm still the same fucking height, I haven't lost any weight, and I didn't forget to shave this morning. I'm still the same."

I couldn't keep the smile off my face so I turned my back to her and went to sent on the arm of the couch. I grabbed the remote and starting flicking through the channels. She was still standing in the same spot. I turned my head slightly to the left to look at from the corner of my eye, and she still have that look on her face, as if she were trying to solve some kind of puzzle.

Alice had a knack for figuring things about a lot sooner than most no matter what it was. Like for example, we were watching TV one day and they showed a promo for the upcoming episode of Fear Factor, and she new the pair of blonde 'double mint' twins from Texas were going to win before the episode even aired. She like a freaky pixie psychic sometimes.

And that's exactly why Emmett goes to here first and asks what hands to bet on when we go on our annual Vegas trips.

It's actually kind of hilarious to watch. They even got kicked out once because the head of security accused them of hiding cards because they kept winning. Alice was pissed while Emmett had a victorious smirk on his face and kept going on and on about how he felt like the kid from the movie 21. Only Emmett didn't get the shit beat out of him.

All of a sudden it was as if Alice had a light bulb moment and she squealed. Loudly.

"Oh my Prada, your in love!" Then she literally tackled me to the floor.

I landed hard on my side with her little body tucked into my torso, one of her knees near my groin, and her hands on my shoulders. Good thing I protected the boys downstairs before we landed.

"Jesus, Alice! Was that really fucking necessary." She quickly let go of me and stood up. Then she had the audacity to offer me her little child like hand to help me up.

I slowly pushed it aside and stood on my own. "Alice, please. I weight nearly three times as much as you do."

She rolled her eyes playfully, "You don't weigh three hundred and twenty-one pounds Edward. Now, quit trying to change the subject and tell me all about her. Who is she? Where did you meet? What does she look like? What's her name? You can tell a lot about a person by just their name," she said all in one breath.

"Alice, I have no idea what your talking about," I said wanting to play with her a little longer. I knew she would get all pouty about it soon enough.

She just huffed, grabbed my hand, and pulled me down to sit next to her on the couch. She tucked her legs beneath her, a lot like Bella does, and looked at me expectantly.

I sighed slowly then turned to grin at her, "She's so amazing Alice."

She screamed and I had to cover my ears to keep them from bleeding. "Alice, if you can't keep it together long enough for me to get anything out, I won't tell you anything else.'

"Ok, Ok please continue," she said then mimed herself locking her lips up and throwing away the key.

I waited a moment to make sure she wasn't going to interrupt and when I was sure, I continued. "I met her on the way to the cabin. She was stranded on the side of the old deserted road so I pulled over and offered her my assistance. I swear Alice, as soon as she turned to face me, all thought left my mind and all the air left my body. She's so incredibly beautiful, but modest. Her names Bella, so it fits her perfectly."

I paused for a moment to truly take in the scene before me. Alice and I had our hands clasped together and I was gushing like a fucking teenage girl with her first crush. It was pretty fucking funny and I dreaded the thought of what Emmett would say if he saw us right now. He would probably try to hold me down and pull my pants down to make sure I haven't grown a vagina.

Alice was still sticking to her lock and key silence but she lifted her hand to give me the 'hurry up and go on' motion.

"She's sweet, smart, and well read. She get's my dry sense of humor and she doesn't care about my foul mouth, and she's the best cook-

She interrupted me here so I looked up to he face to find her eyes wide and mouth gaping. "Wait, hold on a minute. You were with her long enough to learn this much about her, and for her to cook for you?"

I felt the rare heat of the blood rushing to my cheeks as I realized I said a little more than I intended to.

"Well, neither of us had any cell coverage and when I brought her to the cabin to use the phone-

She shrieked out another interruption, "You took her to the cabin! You've never taken a girl there, not even Tanya."

"I know, Alice. Trust me, I realize that."

I shook my head to clear it. "So, anyway. I forgot Emmett took the battery of the phone connected to the landline, and the storm was coming so, I invited her to stay with me until the storm cleared. We spent the weekend getting to know each other, but I fell for her almost instantly. Our connection is insane, Alice. We love the same music, books, and movies. But the best thing is, that she didn't even know who I was until she saw me on TV while she was there. Bella was shocked at first, but she took it all in stride. She's so genuine. She didn't care that I was famous, rich, and hounded my fans and photographers. She really likes me for me. Things are just so natural with her. I know it's only been three days, Alice, but I really love her."

I didn't care that I sounded like a fucking sap.

"Shit, I have to call mom and Emmett. They're going to flip when they hear this," she said while rummaging through her huge purse to find her cell phone.

I snatch the whole bag from her before she got the chance. "No way, Alice. I will be the one to tell the family. I think I have the perfect idea. I was thinking I would bring her over for moms Thursday night dinner to introduce her to everyone. What do you think?" I asked her for her opinion.

She gave me a soft smile and patted my head like a mother would her child, "That sounds like a great idea, Edward. Your really serious about this girl, huh?"

"I am Alice. Wait until you meet her. You'll know exactly what I mean, when I say she just draws people in with her smile, her laugh, and her kindness. Not to mention how absolutely gorgeous she is. She's just perfect."

I was assaulted with image after image of Bella. Images of her sleeping and the glow of her skin in the moonlight. Bella biting her lip, when she gets lost in thought or a really good book. The way she smiles, when she catches me staring at her.

"Now, there is one really big thing I need you to do, Alice."

She started bouncing and clapping her hands excitedly, "Anything Edward. What do you need?"

"I need you to keep this to yourself. I wanted to be a surprise for mom and the rest."

"Aw, Edward. Come on. At least let me tell Em."

"No Alice. Please it's just a few days."

She sighed disappointedly, "Fine."

"Thanks Al."

After that I finished telling her more about Bella and our time in this cabin. I told her about our movie night and the explosive first kiss. I told her about our impromptu first date in the cabin, which inadvertently led me to telling her about Heidi.

Alice was immediately pissed at the mention of Heidi's name. She actually even tried to use a private investigator once to track her down. Alice's excuse was, she just wanted to beat her ass one good time. "That fucking cunt! How did Bella take it when you told her?" she asked narrowing her eye's at me, like I was the perpetrator.

I held up my hands palm facing foward in a 'I mean no harm matter' and answered, "Bella, pretty much reacted a lot like you did. You should have seen her Alice, one minute she was my sweet quiet Bella, then she turned into this feisty little thing wanting to cause Heidi bodily harm. It was sexy as hell."

Alice scrunched up her little elfin face in disgust, "Ew, Edward. TMI. Even though is good to see you like this. I've never seen you this happy, excited, and just plain in love. I can't wait to meet her."

She tried to give me her puppy dog eyes and I already knew what she was going to say before she even opened her mouth. "Can I please meet her before everyone else, Edward? Please…"

I avoided looking her in the eye so I was able to deny her, "No Alice. You know mom would have my ass for that."

She plopped back on the couch and mumble an irritated, "Fine."

I glanced around and noticed was getting darker in the apartment. It was getting late and needed to flick the lights on and getting ready for work tomorrow. "Shit. What time is it?"

"I don't know, but I should probably get going. We both need to get ready for work and I know you need to call your Bella," she said with a sincere smile on her face.

"Yeah, I miss her so much already." After giving each other hugs and saying we'd call the other tomorrow, she was out the door.

I ran back to my room and scrambled to find my jacket since I left my cell in the pocket. I scrolled through the list of my contacts and found the one I longed for and pressed the call button. She picked up after the second ring.

"Hello," she answered breathlessly.

"Hi sweetheart. What are you doing?"

"Edward! I'm so glad you called," she paused for a moment to catch her breath. "I was just trying to move some of the unpacked boxes out the way in the living room so it wouldn't look so messy. They were a little heavier than I thought."

"Bella, if you can wait until tomorrow I'll help you with those. I don't won't you to strain or hurt yourself. Besides, I'm supposed to help you those kind of things. That's what big strong boyfriends are for," I said with a huge shit eating grin on my face.

She huffed into the phone, " I know your right. I just have to get used to it." The tone of her voice got lower and slightly huskier when she continued, "but luckily it's not such a bad thing to get used to. I'm one luck girl."

I choked on air for a moment while I attempted to catch my bearings. The sound of breath even with her g-rated words was giving me an instant hard-on. Where did my shy little Bella go.

After I composed myself I was able to respond, "Baby, I'm the lucky one."

"Edward, you're so incredibly sweet, but when are you going to see that you're a wonderful person, who is worthy of great things? I've noticed that you sometimes think yourself undeserving of my affection. I'm so grateful to have you, I've thanked God everyday that I've known you for bring you into my life."

I have to admit I got a little choked up by her words. I cleared my throat and rubbed my face quickly to get myself together because I felt my eyes start to moisten like a little bitch.

Fuck it.

I decided I was going to surprise my girl and see her tonight. I hope she'd be happy to see me and not slam the door in my face.

"Bella, I'm sorry to have to end our conversation but I'm really tired and I have a really busy work day. Is it OK if I call you tomorrow?" I asked hesitantly.

"Er…sure. I understand Edward. I also need to get ready for my first day of work. I'll just finish my wine and movie and head to bed," she responded a little melancholy.

With a sigh she continued, "Goodnight, Edward."

"Goodnight, Love."

I hung up the phone and literally ran to take a quick shower and was out the door in less than fifteen minutes.

I was going to go see my girl.

A/N: Yeah….It was really hard for me to not be a bitter bitch and let my personal life affect the story, and have Bella go on a man-hating frenzy and kick Edward's ass for no reason! LOL

Story Rec: 'Nine to Five' by: VampireAngel94 . I love her possessive Edward.

Story Rec: 'A Multitude of Sins' by: lvtwilight09. It involves a Priest Edward and a Nun Bella. I loved this because they found love while keeping their faith. It's great.

P.S. Chapter 9 is almost finished.
