AN- I really have to thank you guys, I posted the last chapter last night, came online this morning and my inbox was full!!! What better way to reward everyone than with anotherchapter. It's really good to know so many people are enjoying my little story. Get set for another lemon.

I woke up to the sound of Charlie whispering my name outside of my door, I threw back the covers and slung my legs over the side of the bed. I gasped as the soles of my feet touched the cold floorboards. Damn did Charlie not know how to turn on a heater. I grabbed Edwards hoody from the window seat and shoved it on. Opening the bedroom door I was greeted by an overexcited Charlie, surely it was bad for a man of his age to be jumping up and down in excitement because it was Christmas day.

"Merry Christmas Bella! I thought you'd never get up!" He picked me up of the floor and carried me downstairs, plonking me on the sofa in front of the tree.

"Seriously Dad, you need to calm down, I don't want to eat my Christmas dinner in the emergency room." He glared at me before gesturing to the tree. Alice had insisted on decorating our house, I'd never had a real tree before but this one was huge with strategically placed red and gold glass baubles. We had a pixie instead of a fairy on the top, Charlie didn't really understand that but he'd been so happy when he returned from the station to a house covered from top to bottom in real holly.

"So Bells, presents or food first?" I wanted to say presents but my stomach started growling. Charlie smiled and muttered something along the lines of 'That's my girl' as he made his way into the kitchen. My phone rang and Edwards name flashed up on screen.

"Hi you."

"Merry Christmas baby."

"Merry Christmas Edward." I heard something crash in the kitchen and sighed. Bless Charlie for making the effort but he had no culinary ability at all. "Listen I've gotta go before Charlie blows up the turkey or something. I'll see you tonight."

"OK Bella love you." I snapped the phone shut. He said it again. I mean I wasn't even sure I felt that way.

"Grubs up Bells!" My stomach made another huge growl which was quickly silenced when I saw what was on the table. Charlie had prepared a microwave Christmas dinner. He was positively beaming at me, he was clearly proud of himself.

"Wow Dad, looks great. Mmmmm" I took a big forkful and swallowed it hard, if I could swallow Edwards spunk I could sure as hell handle a microwave meal. Charlie nodded in thanks. It really wasn't that gross, OK so the turkey didn't really resemble meat in any way and the vegetables were a bit mushy but there are people starving.

"Umm Dad, what did you break?" He turned a deep crimson colour and suddenly became very interested in his empty plate.

"Microwaves don't like metal." I couldn't control myself. I burst into fits of laughter, my father didn't know how to use a microwave. He laughed with me until it hurt so much we couldn't laugh any longer.

I cleaned up the kitchen while Charlie went to the lounge, he flipped on the TV some kind of sports game was playing. As I plunged the plates into the hot soapy water I thought about what Edward had said. He loved me. The concept was a little strange, I wasn't really comfortable with saying it but I did feel more for Edward than I have anyone else, maybe I did feel it. I finished the dishes and sat back down on the sofa. Charlie turned to me before running to the tree and grabbing his present. He tore the paper off as I laughed.

"Hunters!!! thanks Bells I needed a new pair."

"I noticed. Holes." I chuckled at him as he chucked me a small box. I rattled and felt the box trying to guess it's contents and irritate Charlie. He looked like he was about to explode so I opened the lid carefully. There was a set of keys inside, car keys. I looked at Charlie, mouth open. He laughed and pointed outside. I ran out the front door and saw it. It was beautiful. My very own laser blue, convertible mini cooper. I stroked the paintwork. I wasn't big on cars but this, was gorgeous.

I ran back to Charlie and threw my arms around him.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you!"

I spent the rest of the day in my room opening presents from my friends and receiving thank you calls. I got some really cool stuff, though they all spent a lot more on me than I spent on them. I got a cute leather clutch bag from Rosalie which was obviously designer, an ipod shuffle loaded with crude songs from Emmett, a polaroid camera from Jasper who must have pulled some strings to get that considering they're discontinued and a pair of dark blue silk-satin Jimmy Choo's from Alice. I showered and dressed in a pair of skinny jeans and a emerald green silk halter neck loaned by Alice.

I looked over to the gift I'd gotten Edward, it was wrapped in metallic gold paper and left on my window seat. It was definitely inferior to anything I'd received and was probably going to look crap compared to whatever he gave me. When he arrived Charlie said his goodbyes and we headed straight for my bedroom. It was my space and I felt most at home there. Edward sat on my bed and beckoned me over. I sat on his lap and threw my arms around his neck. I gave him a quick kiss on my lips before he thrusted a present at me. I looked at him nervously and then looked at his present on the windowsill.

"You didn't have to get me anything you know?"

"Just open it Bella." He sounded a bit annoyed, I suppose I should be a bit nicer he was giving me a present after all. I slowly opened the paper wanting to prolong my embarrassment. As I slipped the paper off I burst into tears.

"Bella what's wrong don't you like it?" He held me to his chest.

"You got me a first edition Wuthering Heights!!! How? You shouldn't have spent that much on me! I .. I don't Oh Edward!"

I could feel his chest moving as he laughed. How was this funny? Did he realise it was worth £50000!?

"Bella I didn't spend a penny." OK now I was really shocked, but I couldn't bring myself to drop the book from my hands.

"You stole it! Edward I can't accept it!" I looked at him in horror as he continued to laugh at me.

"No Bella." He wiped the tears from my face with his thumb. "It was my grandfathers, he left it to me, trusting me to find a good home for it and I couldn't think of anyone who would care for it better than you." He was right, I'm a book freak. I got up and carefully placed the book in a shoe box and placed it on my shelf before returning to him and crashing my lips to his, my fingers wound in his hair but he pulled away. I pouted at him pixie style.

"As much as I was enjoying that, I can see my present out the corner of my eye and I wanna know what it is!" I laughed at him and grabbed the package before hitting him on the head with it. He tore the paper off much faster than I had. His face was a picture, I was pleasantly surprised. It had been a pretty quick decision as I walked through the door to the record store and I heard it. The same thing that had played in the car the first time he drove me home, Clair De Lune.

"Bella, you got me Debussy on vinyl?" I nodded nervously before he pulled me into a hug.

"I love it, I love you."

"I love you too." I blinked furiously a I realised what I'd just said, it had slipped out without me even thinking about it. Edward beamed at me and kissed me again. I think I meant it.

We sat around watching Christmas TV until 9 when my stomach decided Charlies microwave dinner wasn't enough. I went into the kitchen to make popcorn. I was reaching up into the cupboard when I felt a pair of hands grasp my waist and a familiar pair of lips on my throat.

"I think I forgot to tell you how beautiful you look today Miss Swan." My breath caught in my throat as he kissed the hollow behind my ear. I remembered I'd had plans for tonight. I turned around and slipped my hands up Edwards shirt.

"I haven't given you the rest of your Christmas present yet." I whispered in his ear before taking his hand and leading him upstairs. His eyes became wide as I began taking my clothes off on the stairs, by the time we got to my room I was only wearing my bra and knickers. I got under the covers and removed my remaining clothes before throwing them to Edward.

"I thought maybe we could .. you know .. tonight?"

I've never seen someone rip their own clothes off themselves but Edward did it and within 30 seconds he was in bed with me. I was suddenly overcome with stage fright and wrapped my arms around myself.

"Are you sure you want to do this Bella?" Edward stroked the hair from my face, relaxing me a little. I nodded and pressed my lips to his. His fingers snaked their way down my stomach and I gasped into his mouth when I felt him part my folds. He pulled away and looked at me with those beautiful green eyes before plunging two fingers into me. I couldn't help but let out a moan, it didn't even bother me that he was watching my reactions. He gently kissed my forehead as he moved to kneel between my legs. I leant over and rifled through my bedside drawer and handed Edward a foil square. He nodded and fumbled about under the cover for a moment. He lifted himself so our eyes met and kissed me gently. He pushed his hips forward so the tip of his cock grazed my entrance.

"OH MY FUCKING GOD!!!" I grabbed the duvet to cover myself and pushed Edward onto the floor.

"Ow fuck Bella!"

"Alice what the fuck are you doing in my house!?"

I heard her footsteps as she ran down the stairs, heard the door slam as she left and then heard the tyres in the gravel of the drive and she sped home. I waited until then to wrap the cover completely around me like a robe and locked myself in the bathroom.

I awoke still in the bathroom. I silently unbolted the lock and attempted to creep out but Edward had fallen asleep on the floor in front of the door. I lay next to him and stroked his face. His eyes fluttered open after a while and he smiled when he saw me.

"You came out then? I was beginning to think you'd flushed your head down the toilet."

"I thought I might as well, after all if I didn't we'd never get to carry on where we left off." He stood up quickly and threw me over his shoulder slapping my ass as he carried me back to bed.

AN- Hope you liked that one. I await your opinions.
