Won't Go Home Without You

EPOV

Life sucks. Like sucks on a whole new level than ever before. I seriously cannot believe that Bella's flight got delayed. Whoever or whatever was the cause of this delay, I will find them and kill them.

I'm not kidding. I'll do it.

I had been looking forward to this for weeks and just as I'm going to leave to pick her up Alice calls and tells me she won't be here till tomorrow morning.

That's 17 more hours. Or 1020 minutes. Or 61,200 seconds.

I had it all planned out too. I was going to be there waiting for her with roses and I was going to kiss her like she's never been kissed before and then I'd pick her up and carry her off all "An Officer and a Gentleman"-ish.

Wait. That is really girly. Geez Edward grow your balls back why don't you?

Whatever I'm just pissed that she's not here. Its 7 pm and she would be here with me right now if it wasn't for the stupid plane delay thing.

Man I miss her so much.

I don't think I realized how much I really miss her until Alice called. I don't think I realized how much I love her until now. I mean I always knew that I loved her. Even before we got together I knew I loved her. I never even thought about another girl my entire college life. I mean there were plenty of girls who made passes at me during parties and stuff but they were usually drunk or desperate.

Or both. That was never good.

I remember writing down notes from what one of my professors was saying in my economics class one day and looked down five minutes later to see that I had just been writing Bella's name over and over the entire time.

And now I am in Jasper's stupid car driving to a stupid club full of stupid people. Alice wanted him to go but she also wanted me to come so I would stop moping around. I think she was really afraid that if I didn't come I would spend all night at the airport hoping that her plane might come in early. And in all honesty, I probably would have.

"Come Edward it won't be so bad. Just have a couple drinks and you'll be fine." Jasper said never taking his eyes off the road.

"I still don't see why I have to go. She's your girlfriend."

"She's your sister."

"Touché"

Jasper stops at a red light and finally looks at me and raises his eyebrow.

"Dude is that shirt even clean?" he asks. I look down at my white button up shirt with the sleeves rolled up.

"I don't know does it even matter?" I respond, my head on my hand, leaning against the window.

We pull up to the club and Jasper parallel parks across the street. Jasper is a music major at NYU and Alice is a fashion major so he and Alice met there at a tutorial thing for all the arts majors. Coincidentally Jasper and I are pretty much like brothers now. In other words, my fridge is his fridge and vice versa. We get out of the car and walk across the street but not before I slam my car door meaningfully. Am I acting like a toddler? Yes. And I don't plan on acting like an adult until I get my Bella.

"Damn dude, don't take the anger out on my car." Jasper snaps

"Yea fine whatever." I say.

Can't believe that way this day has turned out.

-------------------------------------------

We finally get into the club and Jasper texts Alice to tell her that we've arrived. I make a bee-line for the bar to a pair of two empty seats.

"Alright, I'm gonna go find Alice. Get a drink or something. Loosen up a bit okay?" Jasper says. He notices that I make no move to order a drink from the bartender so he does it for me.

"Here take these" Jasper says handing me his car keys. "If I'm not back in twenty minutes then it means that Alice has talked me into staying all night and you can just drive yourself home okay? I'll get Alice to take me back to my dorm or something." Jasper says

"Yea ,alright. Thanks man." I say

"No problem." He shouts over his shoulder as he walks away.

The bartender slides me my drink and I give him a five from my pocket and tell him to keep the change. I decide to not have any of the drink and just shift the drink in my hands. Because I do plan on driving home soon. I don't know how long I was just looking into the glass before I felt Jasper's hand on my shoulder roughly turning me away from the bar to face him.

"Okay, don't get mad at me when I say this. Kill Alice not me. This was Alice not me." Jasper says, his face looking like he's anticipating some sort of bad reaction from me.

"Alright fine I won't kill you what is it?" I say, not even attempting to camouflage how exasperated I am with this day. Alice probably just went and slashed the tires Jasper's car so we couldn't leave or something.

"Bella is here." Jasper says quickly.

"I'm sorry what?" I ask. Now I'm pissed. What the fuck is going on here. "What the fuck are you talking about?"

"Bella's here. Alice talked her into something stupid and…"

"Where is she" I ask sternly

"She's dancing but…"
She's dancing? Okay now I KNOW something is really up.

I'm practically power walking towards the dance floor, partially cause I still need to have Bella with me, but the greater part is that I'm really pissed off and want to know what the hell is going on. And then I saw her. She was walking in my direction for the shortest of seconds but that was it took for my anger at the situation to decrease rapidly. Just seeing her face brought me back to sanity. And then I saw him grab her arm and jerk her small body spinning back to face him.

Alright who is this motherfucker…

For the briefest of seconds I thought that maybe she liked this guy. That she was with him and that's why she's with him instead of me right now. My heart sank into my gut at the thought. But then I saw her try to pull her arm out of his grasp.

O thank god

I watch him look her up and down, his eyes pausing briefly on her legs and her breasts.

O no he fucking didn't. Those are my legs and my breasts. No one else get to look at them like that except me.

I walked over to where they were standing with a speed that I don't think I'd ever had before. The douche bag doesn't even notice me walking up with a look of pure murder on my face. I quickly wrap my arm around Bella's waist from behind her and pull her against my body while my other hand rests with an iron grip on his arm that is gripping Bella.

"She's. With. Me" I growl. I feel Bella's body straighten up in shock and then push further back against my body as she recognizes my voice. I thought I heard her sigh my name. It was as if she trying to melt into me. Then this idiot tries to shake my hand off but realizes he can't, and quickly let's go of Bella before he looks up at me and says,

"Who the hell are you?"

Ugh he looks so slimy.

I see Bella rub her arm where he had been gripping it and it was obviously starting to bruise. Immediately my protectiveness of her turns way up. I pull her tighter against my body and drape my other arm around to shoulders in an attempt to cut off any possible view of her cleavage that he would be able to see.

"I'm the boyfriend. So back the fuck off."

"Geez man fine whatever she probably wouldn't even put out anyway." He mumbles as he stumbles off. For a moment I consider going after him and kicking his ass but I decide against it. I release Bella and turn her around so she's facing me. I must have still looked angry because Bella said,

"Edward, please don't be mad I'm…."

But I cut her off before she could say anything more. I kissed her so hard I thought I might have hurt her but I knew that I didn't when she threw her arms around my neck and sighed against my lips. I wrapped my arms around her waist and pulled her firmly against my body as tangled her hands in my hair in an attempt to pull me closer to her. I lightly ran over her bottom lip with my tongue and she opened her mouth allowing our tongue to meet. We both moaned at a feeling that we had missed for so long. Someone who obviously had a few too many drinks bumped into us then, knocking us out of our world and back to reality. We just looked at each other for a while until she said,

"Would you be completely opposed to leaving? I kinda just wanna go home."

"My thoughts exactly. Of course that only applies if by home you mean my apartment…"

"Ugh Edward don't be difficult of course that's what I mean!" Bella says pulling me by the hand towards the exit. I smile quietly to myself at that.

She called my apartment home.

I pull Jasper's car keys out of my pocket and jog a little to catch up with her stride and pull my hand out of hers to wrap my arm around her shoulders and kiss the top of her head. She smiles and reaches her hand up to grab my hand around her shoulders and intertwines our fingers. We get to the car and realize that in order for us both to get in the car, we are going to have to let go of each other. We both pause just looking at the car for a few moments. I decide to suck it up and take the reins and walk her around to the passenger side of the car and open her door, carefully placing her in the car, and practically sprint around to the driver's side of the car. The second I get in our fingers are once again intertwined. I drove the entire way back to my apartment with one hand. The entire ride she had her body turned towards mine just looking at me and every so often I would lift our hands up so that my fingers could caress her face.

God had I missed this woman. It's official. I'm completely lost without her.

-----------------------------------------

We got to my street and I parallel parked in front of my apartment. I just can't bear to let go of her again and she must have felt that same because she crawled across the car into my lap so that I could pick her up and lift her from the car. I don't know what it was but I hadn't really noticed what she was wearing until now. Or shall I say not wearing. And my god did she look hot. I don't think I have ever seen this much of her legs before. She must have noticed me ogling her.

"Edward? Hello? Earth to Edward!" She said

"Yes, I'm here sorry I was just thinking about something." I say quickly trying to cover my tracks.

"Can we go now? It's getting kinda breezy out here." She says rubbing her arms with her hands.

"Of course love. I'm sorry."

We walk into my building and into the elevator to get to the 3rd floor.

You know I bet if I pushed the emergency button they wouldn't be able to get us out of here for a while…and what else is there to do in a broken down elevator but make-out……O COME ON SNAP OUT OF IT EDWARD! She just got her I'm sure that's the last thing she wants to do she's probably tired.

The elevator dings and the doors open bringing me out of my internal train of thought. I walk out first, pulling her behind me so that I won't be tempted to stare at her ass.

It looks so good in that dress though….No bad Edward! Down boy!

I get to my apartment door, pull out my key and open the door for her.

But she doesn't move.

"Edward…."
