I am terribly sorry for not updating in days. But as I said in my twitter page, my fanfiction file got deleted including chapter seven of Warm Me Up. I had to rewrite the whole chapter. I hope this is a good chapter to please all of you.

Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight or any of the characters. I also don't own the lyrics of the songs mentioned below.


No fact or fiction or storyline
Cause I need you more than just for tonight
You're oh oh all I care
I can't stop my breathing in
I'm weak and you were my medicine
I won't stop till I am under your skin

'Five Minutes To Midnight' by Boys Like Girls


"You're late!" Laurent scolded as Bella and I went inside his studio. "I clearly told you to be here at exactly ten in the morning." He continued.

When we woke up that morning, both of us forgot that we had a meeting with Laurent. Bella and I were cocooned in our little place and had sex all morning until I brought the subject of the meeting. Bella was just calm as hell but I was running around my room looking for clothes to wear.

"Relax, babe. Laurent would understand." She had said.

"Why would he? We're late on a Monday morning about to discuss both our jobs. That is not being professional, Bella." I told her while pulling my pants up. I was starting to get annoyed with her. She wasn't doing anything. "Please. Will you get up and put some clothes on." I pleaded. She sighed and eventually did what I asked.

When we both got dressed, Bella zoomed towards Laurent's studio, avoiding NY's traffic jam. Thank god Bella was a crazy ass driver and we were only late for fifteen minutes.

"Hey, hey. I have a very valid reason for being late, you know." Bella said to him with a cheeky smile.

"And what is that?" Laurent challenged her with raised eyebrows.

"I finally got my girl." She said that earned two eye rolls coming from Laurent and I. We ignored her smugness and followed Laurent into his office.

"Okay, enough of this crap. Onto business." Laurent transformed into his photographer mode. "I have a bunch of pictures to show you. But we need only three. One for each scene." He informed us. I'm so excited to see those damn picures. I know it will be so hot to see.

Laurent invited us to go behind his table with him to see the pictures from his computer. What I saw nearly had me faint and made my knees weak. It was so God damn sexy. Bella and her sexy eyes and pouty lips made me want to push her now against the wall and ravish her with my kisses. Though all these are great photos, Laurent told us to only pick three. So I did.

The first picture was from the first day of the photoshoot. The day I first met Bella. The club scene. We were in the middle of the dark dancefloor with only blue and green laser lights. Our bodies were tangled with each other. My head was being pulled back by Bella's hand in my hair, my eyes were closed and my right leg was attached to her hip. Bella was looking at me hungrily while gripping my ass with her other hand. It was like the pose from the dirty dancing but less choreographed.

The second picture was less steamy. We were outside under the sun, walking hand in hand on the streets of New York. Bella and I were looking at each others eyes lovingly. I remembered we were fighting that day. But although we had a misunderstanding, you can see that we already had feelings for each other just by the look in our eyes. Though the smile was a fake one, it still looked real because I was with my love. But she didn't knew that tiny bit just yet.

Though the first two pictures are classified individually as lust for the first one and love for the second one, the last was a combination of the two. It was my favorite out of three. The picture represents my feelings for Bella. It was screaming 'I love you!' without the words. You can see from the picture that we were having the time of our lives in a heated moment. Bella and I were both wearing white barely there clothes. My white night dress was sliding up my thighs leaving little to my imagination. Bella was behind me, spooning my body. I was looking at her lips while licking my own; just waiting for the right time to lean in and capture it between my lips. Her left hand was on my thigh, just below the hem of my dress. Her other arm was underneath my head, pulling me closer to her. Other than my short dress leaving little to the imagination, hers was much worse. Her thin tank top was hunched up only covering her braless breast. Her whole stomach was exposed. While this made me very angry, her lower part made me fume. Her white panties were covering nothing. It was like she was naked, only a small part of the cloth was seen. But other than that, it was all skin. But though it made me jealous for the world to see my woman like that, Bella and I agreed that we wanted this picture in the magazine.

"Great! But change of plans. The magazine will be out in two months instead of a month. I think a reporter will be coming to interview you two. I'm not really sure when, but you can arrange that with Leah." Laurent told us. Bella nodded and walked us back to the chairs in front of Laurent's table.

"Are you okay with the pictures, babe?" Bella asked me with concern in her voice.

"Yeah. I was bothered though with that last picture. I think I can't share you with all those people looking at our picture." I confessed, making her laugh.

"You won't have to worry about that. I'm all yours. I think I should be the one worried about that pose of yours." She smiled at me and pulled me to her with a kiss.

"Hey, none of that here. Your sweetness is making me sick." Laurent interrupted us once again making a gagging sound.

"See ya" I told him when Bella dragged me out of the studio and into her car.

"Leah texted me awhile ago. She wanted to meet us for brunch. Are you up to it?" Bella asked me as she started the engine and pulled out of the parking space. Leah is Bella's assistant and publicist. She handles everything Bella should be doing professionaly like interviews, photoshoots, auditions and the like.

"Yeah, sure. It's fine with me." I only met Leah once. It was before our photoshoot. She was the one who talked to me, on behalf of Bella who can't make it that day, together with Laurent, what the photoshoot will be like. She was a nice Native American woman that was the same age as me. I think she grew up with Bella if I'm not mistaken.

After a couple of minutes of driving, Bella pulled up in front of the diner where Bella and I had dinner that first night we met. Claire wasn't there when we got inside though. Apparently, she had her day off on Mondays.

"Bella, Alice, over here." We turned around at the voice calling us and found Leah at one of the booths, waving us over. We got to her and seated opposite Leah. We told our orders to the waitress, all of us waffles, coffee and mixed fruits, before discussing business.

"So," Leah started talking. "You will both be interviewed by Victoria Sanders, one of the journalists from the magazine later this week. I already talked to the woman and she told me the questions she'll be asking you. She'll ask about the photoshoot itself; why did you agree on this project, what experiences did it do to you, how did the both of you cope with the other, etc. But be prepared, Victoria will also ask you about your private life and relationship. I've agreed to this becuase it will also clear up what you really are, especially you, Alice."

"I don't think we have to explain anything to them. It's none of their business." Bella said, clearly annoyed with this. Leah explained why we had to do this. She said it will end all those speculations about the two of us but Bella wasn't agreeing with her.

"Bella, baby, listen." I butted in, cutting Leah off. "I think we really should answer those kind of questions. Leah's right. The people will just fade and eventually end those nasty conversations about us if we talk." I told her. It was what I think what we have to do. That interview will not magically end the buzz about us in just a snap. But I think it will at least lessen.

"Do you think it will really work? I mean I don't care if they accept Alice and I but I don't want Alice to be hurt with all these." Bella asked Leah but looking over at me. She was so sweet and caring I had to give her a little kiss.

"Fuck 'em if it will not work. As long as it will be the truth." Leah said. She really did want this to work for the both of us.

"Thanks." Bella told her with a smile.

"No prob." She returned. Our food arrived and we dug in. "Oh, I forgot to tell you. Jake called me." Leah said suddenly.

"What did that mutt want now?" Bella asked. Whoever this Jake was, you can tell that he was their friend with the way they talked about him.

Leah shrugged before answering, "I don't really know. He just told me that he will come home for thanksgiving."

"Really? Wow." Bella said. She informed me that Jake was his best friend and Leah's cousin. He was a painter and traveled all over Europe. She had told me he was searching for himself, whatever that means. He hasn't come home in America for nearly three years. "Where is Jake now anyways?" She asked Leah.

"France. Shagging French girls." Leah said seriously, making me laugh.

We all finished our brunch then confirmed with Leah that she should come to the interview if it turn out to be a disaster. She agreed then said our goodbyes.

"Where to?" Bella turned to me and asked the question.

"Anywhere as long as you're with me." I pulled her to me and buried my face into her neck, smelling her sweet strawberry scent.

"I'll never leave your side ever." She said, turning sweet again. We ended up hanging inside her apartment. Our butts were glued on the couch, snuggling in each others arms in front of the television. We were really glad that our relationship status was not on the afternoon celebrity news. But 'The Prestige' was.

God, I love that movie. Christian Bale plus Hugh Jackman. How lucky can you get with that movie?

"Tell me something about your sister." I asked of her when the movie was finished. Since I already met Edward, I wanted to know something about her other sibling.

"Uhm, I don't really know where she is right now." She frowned. She missed her sister very much with the way she said that, added to when Edward and Bella talked about Gabby. "And we're not that close compared to Edward and I. Yeah we're twins but she has a different personality than me. She's very private and I'm not. She very girly and I'm not. She's always keeping things to herself and I'm very outspoken. Since Edward and I are both the same, we're always together in everything, Gabby was left, always practicing gymnastics. But if you see her do stunts, man, she was the best. She can kick ass with that flexible body of hers. And her body, wow, it was awesome. God, she beat me with that. That woman has muscles." She laughed, remembering her sister. Though Bella told me they weren't very close, you can tell by the way she described her that she really loved her sister.

I wish I had a sister like her. I love Emmett very much but since my mom wasn't home very often due to work when we were growing up, I didn't had someone to tell my girl problems with. Yeah, I have my girl friends but sometimes you just don't want to tell them everything. That's why I was very thankful when Rose came into Em's life as well as mine. We became fast friends. I considered her my true sister.

"I bet she's a nice person." I voiced out to Bella.

"She is. Oh my God, you have no idea. I am always the problem child in the family next to Edward. Everytime I tease Gabby, she always let it slide." Bella smiled with a far off look as if reminiscing something in the past.

"You're a problem child?" I teased her, lightening the mood. I squealed my heart out when she carried me from the couch into her bedroom. My legs were around her waist and my arms were around her neck. When we got to her bedroom, she plopped my whole body into the soft mattress. She got on the bed and crawled towards me with a mischievous smile.

"I'm never gonna be a problem child ever again. Especially in bed." She said making me laugh. We had sex the rest of the afternoon. We only got out of bed when our stomachs growled, screaming that we had to eat something. With Bella, you will not notice the time.

Like what they say, time pasts when you're having fun.

There. I hope this chapter reached your expectations. I included a little something about Gabby and Jake. Eventually, you will meet them soon.

And just to add, I really do love 'The Prestige'
