A/N: Look at that, two chapters in one night. What a wonderful way to start off your Monday morning right?

Anyways, review your little hearts out. It's still early here, so I think I might go work on 'American Girl'

I don't own twilight, but I do own 'Superbad' on DVD and was watching it earlier tonight.

The next few days went by in a haze. After our ice skating date and the second round of 'would you rather?' Edward moved all of his stuff into his old bedroom, which he had now taken to calling 'our room'. Every time he mentioned it, I blushed furiously and he just grinned at me in excitement. We spent more time talking about our lives back in Seattle and L.A. respectively, and he told me all the things he loved about Seattle and why he was desperate to move back. Part of me couldn't help but hope that I was one of things he was desperate for in Seattle, but we never discussed it. We quickly fell into a comfortable routine and things were moving along well, a little too well I sometimes, I thought, but those thoughts usually quickly vanished when Edward would say something sweet, or touch me gently. I lived for the little moments and gestures we shared, and I had to stop wondering when the other shoe would drop. On the nineteenth, we both realized that our time alone in the cabin was almost up and that even though we had discussed our relationship and work issues, there was still lots we hadn't done or talked about.

It was the middle of the afternoon and I was comfortably positioned between Edward's legs on the couch, my back nestled into his chest. We were listening to some classical music as I worked on the last manuscript I had left to read, and Edward was nearing the end of 'To Kill a Mockingbird'. I had wanted to discuss what would happen when we walked back into the real world. After all, it was me who had initially suggested we just enjoy time in the cabin and worry about everything else later. I was hardly focused on the manuscript as I wondered whether he wanted to continue this, whatever it was, that was going on between us. I felt his hands running through my hair gently, twirling the ends with his finger and I was instantly distracted from my thoughts.

"I think I'll be a clown when I get grown up," laughed Edward as he read to me straight from the book. I knew exactly where he was in the novel and laughed casually along with him for a moment before I opened my mouth to speak. Edward beat me to the punch though. "So, since we have to head to Seattle in two days, I thought that tomorrow night we could have our own little Christmas celebration."

"That sounds fun. What did you have in mind?" I asked anxiously as I looked over at the mantel where we had hung up the stockings I had purchased at Target a week ago. Edward had thought they were really cute and even wrote our names on the small white felt cuff of them with a black sharpie.

"I could make us dinner and we could just hang out. Listen to Christmas music, make love by the fireplace… you know, the things couples do on Christmas." Edward shrugged his shoulders as I turned to look at him. He clearly had no idea what couples did on Christmas, but then again, I wasn't any better versed either.

"Perfect," I replied honestly as he went back to his book. I stared down at the manuscript and started to wonder about our Christmas together. Did he have a gift for me? Did I need to get one for him? Panic set in because there was so little time to get him something, especially something good, I was confused. I tried to shake the thought from my head and focus on the book in front of me. If I didn't get this thing reviewed, I would never be able to enjoy the rest of my Christmas break.

The next morning, Edward made a quick run to the grocery store to pick up everything he needed to prepare dinner. I was in charge of dessert and gave him a small list of items to get for me while I stayed home to do a bit of laundry and yoga. Edward had practically forbid me from doing any yoga in his presence, claiming it was a major distraction to his cock, so I managed to get it in a few times when he left the cabin or was taking a nap in our bed. When he came home, I watched intently as he prepared a roast with potatoes and carrots. He also made a salad and I was a little in awe of his abilities in the kitchen. He cooked for me constantly, but today just seemed different for some reason. I stood beside him at the counter as I prepared a raspberry upside down cake, which was my favorite recipe from Grandma Swan. Thankfully, I knew it by heart because I had made it so many times before.

"That smells awesome," said Edward as I pulled the cake from the oven and set it aside. He was busy setting the table so that we could sit beside each other, just like usual. Tonight we were back to the candles and soft music of a week ago though, so I knew Edward was feeling a bit romantic, which excited me to no end.

"Thanks babe," I replied as I pulled out the red wine he had purchased earlier and began to pour us each a glass. When we finally settled down to eat dinner, it was excellent. As he talked about the drive home to Seattle, which stupidly we had to do in separate cars, Edward was a bit animated.

"We should definitely leave together and you can follow me. If I pull over, you do too. You're not in a major hurry to get back to Forks are you?" he asked sweetly as he took a sip of his wine.

"Not really. I'd stay here with you for the holidays if I could. I'm not really looking forward to spending time with Charlie, especially since he's so fond of Jacob. I don't want to run into him either, but that will probably be inevitable," I replied with a sigh as Edward's hand moved to the back of my neck and rubbed gently.

"I'll be across town, so if he tries to start some shit, just call me," he suggested even though he probably knew it wasn't the best idea.

"Oh, and how will you explain that to the family? I'll be right back; I have to go help my sisters best friend who I've never met before out of a jam? Doesn't seem too logical, does it?" I asked with concern. I didn't want to hurt Alice by hiding what Edward and I have been to each other, but I didn't know how she would take it.

Edward practically threw his fork down on his plate in anger. "Is that how you think I see you? As just my sister's best friend?" he asked irately, his eyes practically burning with anger. I hadn't seen Edward this upset since the first few days we had together.

"I don't know how you see me," I admitted apologetically as I moved some carrots along my plate with my fork. I felt Edwards hands reach under my chin and turn me towards him.

"I see you like… my angel. I want to be with you, I really do. I'm going to talk to Alice over the holidays and try to get a sense of her potential reaction. I know you don't want to lose her, but I don't want to lose you." I leaned forward and gave him a sweet kiss on the lips.

"I don't want to lose you either," I replied as I bent my head down on his shoulder and we continued to finish our dinner. While Edward and I did the dishes together, I couldn't help but notice the big grin on his face the entire time. Each time I asked him, he simply admitted he was happy and never went into any sort of detail. It was only a little while later, as I was heading upstairs to grab a blanket for us to cuddle in, that I noticed a box under the tree, and it was wrapped in a red bow. Fuck me, he had gotten me a gift. That sneaky bastard.

I paced around the bedroom for a little while trying to think of something I could give him. I had no ideas, until Edward popped his head into the room a little while later. "Are you ready? I wanted you." I nodded my head and watched him slip from the room. He wanted me. I could just give him me for a gift, not that he wouldn't have gotten it anyways, but I could definitely make it more festive.

I searched through my luggage and pulled out the red and white bra and panty set that I had purchased at Target and slipped it on quickly. I also pulled out the Santa hat I had gotten and put that on top of my head, it looked a little cheesy, but he would quickly get the picture. I took in a deep breath and listened as the soft sounds of Joshua Radin filled the cabin. I slowly headed out into the hallway and looked down from the stairs into the living room, where Edward had a fire and candles lit around the room. He was sitting on the floor in front of the fireplace, staring into the flames as though he was thinking about something important.

I walked slowly down the stairs, but he never heard my nervous steps. As I came closer, he finally turned around to face me. "Merry Christmas," I said tentatively as his face grew into a wide smile.

"It is definitely a Merry Christmas," he replied as he grabbed my hands and pulled me onto his lap, the fireplace directly behind me. He kissed my lips gently before pulling away. "You look beautiful Bella."

"Well, I couldn't think of something to get you for Christmas, so you get me." Edward simply nodded his head and kissed my neck as his hands ran up my back slowly, causing goose bumps on my skin from his tough. "I love this song," I admitted as 'Lovely Tonight' came across the speakers.

"It's rather fitting isn't it?" asked Edward as he reached down under the tree and grabbed the box, holding it between us as we remained seated on the floor. "I got you something, obviously. I actually got it like a week ago, and if you hate it, I won't be mad. It's hard to find something suitable in such a small town."

"I'm sure I'll love it," I said nervously as I pulled the ribbon from the box, opening it slowly to reveal a beautiful watch.

"I noticed you didn't wear one, but thought that you might want one," said Edward slowly as I pulled it out of the box and looked at it carefully.

"It's beautiful," I said sincerely as I grasped his head in my hands and kissed him passionately. I put the watch back in its box and laid it on the coffee table directly behind Edward. "How about you open your gift?"

It was probably wrong of me to think that offering herself to me was the best Christmas gift I had ever received. I had tons of awesome gifts over the years. My first Xbox was an awesome gift, but it was a joint gift for Emmett and I, and he was more of a gamer than me. The year my parents took us to Disneyworld for Christmas was one of the best too, but this definitely out did it. I only hoped the watch I gave her was enough to show how I felt about her. I was totally falling for this girl and would do anything to keep her in my life, hopefully for the rest of my life, and not as Alice's best friend.

"The wrapping is too nice to open the present," I said with a laugh as Bella blushed. I pulled the hat from her first of all, as I felt her fingers tugging on the hem of my shirt, trying to pull it off of me. I relaxed for a moment and let her remove my shirt. My hands moved slowly up her back to the clasp of her bra, which I was reluctant to remove because she looked absolutely delicious in it.

"Don't worry about the wrapping. I'm the gift that keeps on giving," replied Bella with a cute little snort as I grinned at her and slowly slipped her bra from her, revealing her soft breasts to me.

"How long do I get to play with my gift?" I asked seductively as my lips latched onto her neck and began sucking furiously. There would probably be a hickey there in the morning, but I didn't care. My hands gripped onto Bella's ass and I pulled her closer to me, her satin covered pussy rubbing against my hardness, which thankfully was only covered by my boxers.

"As long as you want," she whispered into my ear as she bit down on my ear lobe hard, causing me to gasp slightly. I slipped my hand between our bodies and found her panties were already soaked and clearly affecting me. I loved the affect I had on Bella and had thrived on it for the past few days. I was dreading tomorrow morning when we left to head back to Forks and was constantly thinking of ways I could sneak away to spend time with her. I slipped my finger under the edge of her panties and started to rub her clit gently as she moaned my name quietly and then leaned forward to suck on my neck tenderly. "Edward…" she moaned again, but it sounded like a question to me.

"What would you like sweetheart?" I asked curiously, although I wasn't even sure she was asking me something. It didn't matter to me though; I really did want to know what she wanted from me.

"I need you, so badly," she replied breathlessly as I gripped her around the waist and rolled her over so her back was on the floor, which I had the good sense to cover with a blanket before she came downstairs looking like sex personified. I ran my fingers along the waist band of her wet panties and pulled them from her swiftly, throwing them to the side to join her bra. I plunged my lips onto her nipples, massaging her breasts firmly as my hardness rubbed against her wet center. I was thankful for a moment that I was still wearing boxers, because I wasn't ready to be inside of her yet. I wanted to take my time with her.

I grabbed her thighs and spread her legs open to me before I bent forward and ran my tongue along the length of her slit, eliciting a loud moan from her sweet mouth. I licked every inch of her sweetness, savoring every drop of juice that Bella had to offer me. When she gripped the blanket and was practically digging her nails into the hardwood floor, I knew she was nearing her breaking point. I thrust two fingers into her, which elicited a 'fuck yes' from her lips and I fucked her with my fingers as my thumb worked forceful circles around her clit. She was screaming within minutes and panting eagerly from my touch.

"God, I love those fingers," she moaned as I leaned forward and kissed her furiously. Bella's hands immediately fell to my boxers where she began tugging them off awkwardly before finally letting me finish undressing myself. I reached into the front pocket of my now discarded t-shirt and pulled out the condom I had oh so thoughtfully brought with me from the bedroom. "No."

"No what?" I asked in confusion as Bella grabbed the foil packet from me and threw it in the fire.

"No condoms. We're both safe and I'm on the pill, so no. I want to feel all of you Edward. I don't know when we can do this again, so I want all of you." Bella was practically begging me, and I knew I could never disappoint her. I could never bear to see her sad or upset, so I kissed my way down from her lips to her belly button and gently grabbed her hips, sliding myself into her hot body. "Oh god yes," she groaned in pleasure as I watched her breathing slow from my movements.

I was gentle yet firm as I thrust myself in and out of her tenderly, moaning with each motion of my cock in her slick folds. She was so luscious and I wanted her always, but for an instant I realized I couldn't tell her that. We had only been together for ten days, and not even in a normal situation. This was far from normal, but I loved it. I couldn't have imagined meeting this beautiful girl in any other circumstance.

As our movements became quicker, I knew I was about to cum in her. Bella squealed in delight as my finger found her clit and rubbed feverishly, trying to get her to release with me, which she did only moments later. Her entire body tensed as she tightened every muscle, effectively squeezing my orgasm from me. I fell forward and lay beside her for a moment, our hands intertwined as we held them above us. The fireplace and Christmas tree glowed brightly in the room, and I felt complete.

"I wish we could stay longer," sighed Bella wistfully as I kissed her neck and then fell onto my back again.

"Me too," I replied genuinely.

"Do you think you can sneak out at night?" she asked calmly, as she ran her free hand along my stomach and through the tiny hairs that covered my chest.

"Where am I sneaking to?" I asked curiously as I rolled onto my side.

"My room. I have a big oak tree out front of the bedroom I stay in at my dad's. You can probably climb it fairly easily at night, and then we can have some more time together. I don't want to let you go yet before you have to go to L.A." Bella looked sad as she spoke these words and I immediately knew I would be climbing into her childhood bedroom in Forks the next night. I felt fifteen years old again.

"I'll be there every night you want me there," I admitted as my lips found hers and I grazed her bottom lip with my tongue. "We can text and phone each other too."I suggested as her eyes grew brighter. "When I'm back in L.A., it will probably only be for a month or so. We can talk on the phone all we want. You can text me and email me naughty photos if you want," I said with a wink and Bella simply laughed at my suggestion.

We stood up from the floor and began to turn off all the lights and blow out the candles, before we headed upstairs to our bed. I wrapped Bella up in my arms, holding her as close to me as possible as we started to fall asleep in each other's arms. We each had big grins on our faces, and I was desperate to make things work between her and I, even though she was reluctant because of Alice. Surely my sister wouldn't object to the happiness of her best friend and older brother, would she? I buried my head into Bella's hair and took a deep breath, reveling in her scent.

"I am so falling for you Bella Swan," I whispered into her ear as I kissed her goodnight.

"I am so falling for you Edward Cullen."

The next morning, I ran around the cabin cleaning things up as Bella made us some waffles for breakfast. She packed us each a bag of snacks and drinks for the road, which I found absolutely endearing. I loved that she was trying to take care of me. Just another reason why I was falling for her, hard. Once everything was packed and cleaned, I helped Bella bring her luggage out to the car before running back to get my own.

"Be safe on the road, they're calling for snow later," I warned her genuinely as she sat in the driver's seat of her car, the door still open for me.

"Don't worry. You'll only be a few feet in front of me, I'm sure I can handle the drive." Bella laughed and I handed her the keys to the house.

"You have to return these to Esme, since she had no idea I was here." Bella put them in the console of her car and smiled up at me. "I'll miss you."

"I'll miss you too Edward, but you can call or text me anytime you want. Lets agree now to stop in Butte for lunch and we can decide when we get there where to eat." I nodded my head eagerly and kissed her hard on the lips, my tongue practically devouring her. Five hours till I was with her again was all I could focus on as I got into my car and headed down the driveway to the highway. This drive was going to suck.

A/N: I am getting to some interesting plot points of the story which I am looking forward to, including the holidays in Forks and their separation while he's in L.A, and she's still in Seattle. I hope you all are enjoying the story as much as I enjoy writing it.
