Okay people. Let's get one thing straight. I love, I mean absolutely LOVE when you guys review. But I've only been getting like three (THREE!!) for each chapter I post. I also really like how many author adds and fave story adds, but if I got as many reviews as I did those things I'd be a very happy woman. I know it takes a while for me to post, but tell me how much you like my stories! I want to know! I promise to review your stories!!

Okay, I decided, to change the whole apartment thing. I realized that was just WAY too fast. So I took it out all together. Bella and Edward are still planning. It makes a whole bunch more sense.

Bella

For Christmas vacation, Alice thought it would be nice to spend time back in Forks. I was so scared. Scared because I didn't know what the hell I was going to tell my father about my engagement to my Edward Cullen. Edward reassured me that it would be just fine, but I wasn't so sure. Honestly, I was nervous. I didn't know if he likes Edward that much.

Bu tit was Charlie who said he though Edward was good for me. Was Edward that good in Charlie's eyes?

But Emmett was able to let me keep my cool. We met Alice, Jasper, Rosalie and Emmett in Chicago as they waited for us so we'd all sit next to each other. So when we met up, Emmett took me into a huge hug that seriously cut off my circulation of air. Emmett laughed.

"So breakable. You're so fun," he boomed. Everyone laughed as I blushed. "I wonder how you're able to withstand those bruises Eddie gives you." Everyone laughed again, and I blushed like a maniac, searching my uncovered skin for any proof. All that was uncovered was my face, I realized.

"Cool it Emmett," Rosalie said, smacking him upside the head.

"What? It's not my fault she bruises easily," he whined. I laughed. "I bet she liked it too," he said under his breath. I turned tomato red. Was he really making fun of my sex life? I mean, I didn't scream that loud. Okay I did, but so did he. More so than Rose.

"Emmett," Edward cautioned, but I could hear the laugh he was trying to suppress.

"Really Edward? You think this is funny?" I said, irritation boiling up inside me.

"Of course not! How could-" Alice cut Edward's word of with a small screech.

"Bella!" Alice chirped. She grabbed my hand, and pointed to the flight board. Every flight was delayed for the night. The snowstorm had become too dangerous. I sighed. Bad luck. I swear.

"What do we do now?" I asked. Rose and Alice looked at each other.

"We get a hotel reservation, and we go clubbing!" Rose and Alice said together. It was like negative twenty four outside. Did they really want to go clubbing?

I blushed when I remembered the last time Edward and I had gone clubbing.

"Argh," I said. Why did I agree to this? I asked myself.

"It's okay Bella," Edward's smooth voice said. "We can lock ourselves up if you'd like," he offered. I shivered, even though I was completely warm in my fluffy jacket and jeans. It had nothing to do with the cold, only the heat and friction I was anticipating from Edward.

"No!" Alice said.

"Leave them alone," Jasper said. That was one of the first times he'd spoken all day. I was almost shocked. "Would you want Bella dragging you around all day doing whatever she wanted to do?"

"But Bella is a gorgeous woman who needs to dress like it. Look what she's wearing! She looks like she's wearing hand-me-downs."

"That's because they are hand-me-downs." I furrowed my brow and stomped away, a little annoyed of Alice's obsession with shopping. It's really pissing me off. If she didn't want me wearing her clothes, then why give them to me?

I ended up in front of the airport's Starbucks, ordering a caramel latte. Warm strong familiar arms wrapped around my body. I couldn't help but think about Halloween night and Thanksgiving. . . .

Edward opened the door with a godly-drop-dead-gorgeous-make-my-heart-skip-a-beat smile. He pulled me in, pushed James out and threw me against the wall.

In his defense, it had been a long time since we had been together like this. In the sweet company of each other. I couldn't help but ravish Edward with my own kisses, impatient for what I knew was going to come: endless passionate hours of love making.

Edward ripped off my shirt, throwing it elsewhere, his hands roaming my chest. My nipples hardened at the contact, and I arched my back to give him more access. My hands fluttered over his already shirtless body down to the button of his jeans, unbuttoning them. I shoved them down, a long with his boxers, as he tried to relieve me of my jeans and panties.

God it felt so good to have him in me again. Late nigh phone sex wasn't cutting it.

I let out a small moan, forgetting I was in the past.

"It's okay, love," Edward murmured in my ear. Obviously he though I was moaning in disgruntlement. "She'll get over the fact that you love me more than her."

My mind wrapped around his words.

"Is that really what she'd afraid of? That I love you more?"

Edward nodded. That made everything understandable. Alice wanted time with her best friend, and all I was doing was thinking about Edward. Aww. How inconsiderate of me. I immediately felt horrible for not equalizing my time.

"I guess we're going clubbing tonight then," I said with a sigh. I paid for my coffee and drank it while Edward held me like he was doing. I didn't want to go anywhere. I just wanted to stay in Edward's arms.

"Really?" Alice screeched from across the airport. I swear the woman had super hearing. It was highly uncanny. I simply nodded to her statement. "Ooh! YAY! When Jasper gets the reservations all booked up, then we'll leave the boys and go shopping. Oh! I'm so excited! Then we'll go to the club. Does that sound okay Bella?" I hadn't exactly followed what she said, but I nodded. "Alright then. I am going to help Jasper, because Lord knows. . . ." she trailed off her sentence hanging in the air. She walked away, and I turned up to look at Edward. This was our first Christmas together and I wanted tit to be special. Not menacing the way Alice made it out to be.

"Is it okay if I hang out with the girls? I haven't talked to Rose in a while, and it would be nice to go shopping. . ." I trailed off. Edward leaned down, pressing his lips against mine.

Edward

"Of course it's okay Bella. You don't have to ask me permission." Bella's face was riddled with unimaginable discomfort, and she looked irritated to the point of no return. Maybe a spontaneous Tiffany's wrapped little blue box would make her happy.

"It's just that, I really don't want to go." She smiled. "I think I'm too attached to you." She blushed madly, her cheeks redder than the jacket she was wearing. She hid her face in my chest.

"That's not a bad thing," I said to her. She giggled, leaning up on her toes. She pressed her warm full lips against mine, and I reacted to her, kissing her back. I loved Bella so much; it always made me excited when she kissed me so sweetly like that. Her innocence was the hottest thing to me, the hottest thing about her that attracted me.

"Ugh! Get a room guys!" Alice screeched. I smiled in the kiss.

"We would, but you're taking too long to reserve them," I murmured against Bella's lips.

"Oh, shut up Alice!" Bella chided. She pulled me into a deeper kiss, not caring anymore. I honestly liked my new not-caring-about-anything Bella. It made everything so easy. Though I did like when she got embarrassed; it was the sweetest cutest thing about her.

After about twenty minutes, Alice had a cab come to get us from the airport, taking us to the Dana hotel. Bella snuggled close to me soft tremors running through her body. It was so cute. I turned and kissed her nose, which was all red. It was moments like these I didn't ever want to rush.

When we reached the hotel, Alice handed out room keys, and like bats out of hell, Bella and I rushed to our room. I locked the door behind me, only to have Alice bang on the door and scream, "Edward Cullen! You unlock this door right now!"

Bella and I fell on the floor laughing, but all too soon, Alice gave up.

Or so I thought.

The hotel phone rang continuously and mercilessly. Bella disconnected the phone from the wall and sprawled her body on the ridiculously large bed that dominated the room. She shed her jacket, wearing a thin sweater that hugged her chest nicely. It was a light cream colored cashmere sweater, over the most tight-fitting pair of jeans Bella could wear. She turned around as she stood, looking at the view. I looked down at her, how her jeans covered her ass. It reminded me of Halloween weekend.

God, being inside of Bella was so amazing I couldn't think of anything better. It just felt amazing to feel her again. Even if it wasn't making love, and more like fucking like a bunch of sex deprived teenagers.

I didn't want to come like a sixteen year old virgin, but I couldn't help it. No t with the moans that were coming out of Bella's sinfully delicious mouth.

It was quite amazing, the view of the buildings covered in snow, the dim light of the sunset shinning through. It had no way of comparing to Bella.

Bella sighed, and then turned around to see me. She practically jumped into my arms. I planted a kiss on her forehead, and she sighed again, looking up at me with her brown eyes. They were way too gorgeous. . .she was way too gorgeous for me. I don't know how I could have ever had Bella fall in love with me.

"I love you Edward," she whispered. I smiled.

"I love you too Bella. What's wrong?" I asked her voice sounded misplaced.

"I miss my little nudger. It would have been nice you know? To have a baby. Even though I'd still be pregnant." Bella sighed again.

"Bella, we have all the time in the world for that. Believe me. If you want a baby, I will be more than happy to give you one."

Bella smiled wider. "How about for now, we go through the actions of making a baby?" She pulled me down and kissed me fervently, making my head spin.

There was vehement knocking at the door.

"If you don't open the door, I'll just keep banging!" Alice shouted.

Both Bella and I growled.

Reluctantly, we parted, and I got up to answer the door. Bella rolled over onto her side, facing the massive windows. Her body heaved slightly as she breathed.

I opened the door, and Alice came pouring inside, her face red and angry.

"Uh-uh, Bella! You said-you said I could take you shopping. Emmett and Jasper are going too. You can bring Edward too," Alice persuaded. Bella turned and switched glances between me and Alice.

"Alice, how many times a month do you get to see Jasper?"

"Everyday, why?"

"And Rose gets to see Emmett how many times?"

"Everyday. Bella, what are you getting at?"

"Alice, Edward and I want to be alone for a reason. We barely get to see each other and it'd be nice that we wouldn't have to make love in front of our very best friends. So if you don't mind, Edward and I will be staying here the remainder of the afternoon. we will go clubbing, but that wont be until at least nine thirty." Bella sighed and her eyes looked more pleading than usual. God she was so sexy.

"Yes ma'am," Alice said. She turned on her heels and walked right out of the room. Without argument. It kind of frightened me. Maybe Alice was living up to her promises to treat Alice like a normal human being.

Huh.

I lay next to Bella laying my arm around her waist. "What do you want to do?" I whispered into her ear. She hummed, then shrugged.

"Well, I thought maybe we could watch some movies and eat a whole bunch of junk food, then hopefully pass out into sugar comas right into unconsciousness, then fall asleep for the rest of the night, wake up really horny then fuck like animals. How does that sound?" She asked with a huge grin.

"Or, we could skip the sugar coma and slip right into the morning sex," I said to her, placing butterfly soft kisses on her neck. She giggled and my hand found her sides and I tickled her. She tried to stop me, tickling me as well. I erupted into laughter and fell on her, trying to stop her.

"Ha! Success!" Bella sang. She laughed at my laughter, pinning my arms above my head with one hand, using the other to continue her assault. Even though I was stronger, I let her because it was fun. I wriggled from her grasp, and then she fell on top of me. When I stopped, she sighed. "We haven't had fun like that in a long time," she said. I knew exactly what she was thinking. We didn't do enough things together with our clothes on. It would definitely be my New Years resolution. And to shower Bella with more presents.

"I know exactly what you mean. Bella, you know I will do anything you ask. Do you want to do something where we're not locked up in this room?" Bella traced patterns on my chest through my sweater.

"No, I want to watch movies and have a sugar coma," She said sitting up so she straddled my waist. "Edward, I love you."

"I love you, too, Bella. You are so amazingly... wonderfully... beautifully... awesomely... maybe... no most definitely the most precious of all precious things."

"God, Edward. That is not fair. Why do you get to be so romantic?" She whined. I smiled.

"Bella, you are plenty romantic," I assured her. She scrunched up her face, diving into her memories.

"No, I don't think I've ever given you something that you absolutely loved." Bella rested her hands flat against my chest. I stared at her like she was completely ridiculous.

"Isabella Marie Swan, you gave me the most important thing worth loving. You gave me the only thing I'd ever love. The only thing I could ever want." She furrowed her brow. It killed me that she was really confused.

"What?" She asked. I put my hands over hers.

"You. Bella, you are the only thing I could ever want. I want to marry you. The only thing I couldn't live with out. You gave me you, and it's more than I could ever deserve." Bella smiled lightly. A cute understanding smile.

"You know, I wasn't ever going to let you go. I realized that the first time we made love. I love you too much to sacrifice myself and say that I'm not good enough for you, because truth is, I think I'm perfect. And I don't want you thinking I'm too good for you because we are perfect." She leaned down and placed a sweet soft kiss on my lips.

For the afternoon, Bella and I ordered three movies and pretty much everything the hotel had that was made with large amounts of sugar. We ended up getting stomach aches and headaches, Bella falling asleep. I watched the rest of the movie in peace, Bella's light breathing my own lullaby to fall asleep.

Bella

"How do I look Edward?" I asked as I fixed the hem of my dress. Edward walked out of the bathroom, fixing his tie that hung loose around his neck. his eyes popped out of his head. I smiled half-heartedly.'

"Bella! What the hell is that?" he managed to choke out. I put my hands on my hips.

"Alice gave it to me. This is what she said I should wear." (Dress link on my profile.)

"What ever happened to skinny jeans and tight shirts?" He asked. He looked a little irritated at my apparel. I thought I looked very hot. My hair was done up in a high pony tail on the top of my head, slicked back except for side swept bangs. My make up was done on the dark side, black and smoky, the brown in my eyes jumping out and biting. My lips were stained a dark red.

"Is it bad? Do you think I look bad?" I asked. Despite what I thought, I was still going with Edward, and Edward was apart of me, so. . .

"Bella, you look like a fucking rock star!" He said to me. "I just don't want everyone thinking you're that hot. I want you to be all mine," he said as he wrapped his arms around my waist.

"I am all yours."

"Bella, you look really hot." I looked up at Edward to see his smile. "come on, let's go," he said reluctantly. He didn't seem too happy about my out fit, but i think he was looking forward to taking it off. And instead of back talking, he stayed quiet like a good boyfriend/fiancé.

In Alice's suite, Rosalie and Emmett were sitting on the sofa and Alice was still fixing herself up at the same time she was fixing Jasper's tie. I leaned against the wall as Edward placed butterfly soft kisses all over my exposed skin.

"Okay, guys. Alice and I came up with a fun game!" Rosalie chimed. I shivered. I didn't like their games. "Bella, Alice and I are going there alone, and you boys are going there alone. Whoever has the most phone numbers when we leave wins."

"What's the prize?" Emmett asked. I looked up at Edward. He seemed totally at ease as he kissed me.

"Esme and Carlisle won't be home for another two days, meaning that the house would be totally empty upon arrival. The winner may choose to do what they want with the vacant house," Rosalie answered. "Agreed?"

"Agreed," Everyone said at once.

At the club, I hadn't seen Edward for the time we'd been there, and I was beginning to ache for him. Despite that one of the rules were that weren't supposed to act that we knew each other, I was missing my man.

And for being stupid, I completely missed the huge man that I had bumped into on my way over to Alice. So far I had thirty four numbers I could use one more.

"Oh, sorry miss," The guy said in front of me. When I looked up, I was completely drawn in to his appearance. This man was tall, I mean really tall, probably six and a half feet, and built well. Really well.

Don't get me wrong, I love Edward with all the passion I could ever muster up, and he is the most gorgeous beautiful man I could have ever laid eyes on, but this man was a different kind of good-looking. He was dark-skinned, a light russet brown flowing over his skin, his long hair pulled back into a low ponytail at the nape of his neck and his eyes dark, almost black with hunger. I would assume it was for me, but not because I was haughty about it.

"It's fine, I wasn't watching where I was going and I'm a complete klutz. . ." I trailed off realizing I had said enough stupid things for the night.

"How can a supermodel be clumsy?" He asked his voice deep, but soft with what I could actually hear. It was nice to hear his voice. But it only reminded me of Edward's voice. . . .

I began to question myself, why was I thinking so much of Edward as I was talking to this man?

"I'm no supermodel, believe me. I'm just a writer from Washington." I blushed.

"Oh, so you go to college? You most certainly don't look old enough to be in your mid-twenties." He raised an eyebrow.

"I just turned twenty one. I'm out celebrating with my girlfriends. Only they've found dates and I'm stuck alone." As if to add emphasis, I craned my neck as if to search for Alice and Rosalie.

"Well do you mind hanging out with me? I may only be nineteen, but I can surely pack a party," he said with an adorable smile. I liked him. He was easy to get along with and just talk to. I could easily be friends with him if I didn't live two thousand miles away. Too bad.

"Sure. I could use some cheering up. I mean, my friends ditched me on my birthday. How lame are they?" He smiled and took my hand. He led me to the dance floor next to where Alice was dancing with Seth. SETH!!

Dammit.

Alice didn't know Seth, but I did. And Seth knew Edward, and if Seth saw me, he'd introduce me to Alice and I wasn't that great of an actress. . .

"Hey, how about we go get some drinks?" I asked the guy I'd been dancing with. He shrugged so we went to get some drinks. I had a shot of tequila, and he just had a soda. Underaged.

"So nameless guy, how old are you?" I asked.

"Nineteen. And my name's Jacob."

"Oh. Don't you htink that's kind of young to be clubbing by yourself?" He shook his head.

"I'm not by myself. I'm with some friends. Umm, Seth is one of them. and Then there's Quil and Embry. And then my ex-girlfriend Leah. But we just broke-up so I kind of alienated myself from the herd."

Wow. He was really hinting that he was single.

"Oh, I'm sorry for you," I said. But I really did mean it. It was like that time when I thought Edward cheated on me.

I wrapped my arms around my chest as if to hold myself together. The thought of my life without Edward was terrifying.

"Nah, it's okay. I think I can cope without her. She's kind of bitchy. I don't know how Seth can put up with her." That sparked something.

"Wait, Leah Clearwater? I know her. Well I've met her and she is really. . .nice." If you use the term loosely.

"Yeah. She and Seth are family. Seth is. . ." he looked over and scanned the people in the club. "Oh, he's talking to Edward. You should meet him. He's a really good guy. If you go for Preps. And guys with really good grades. Though I think he's enganged so that might be a problem," he said with a silly grin. I smiled back.

I gave up my charade and let Jacob walk me over to Edward, Seth, and Leah, who were all standing in a tight circle that didn't lok so welcoming.

"Hey, Clearwater," Jacob shouted. Seth turned around and saw Jacob. They touched knuckles. "Leah," Jacob said curtly. Leah snarled. "Hey Cullen, I have someone for you to meet."

From what I could see, Edward was about to decline the meeting of a new girl. My heart did a funny little dance.

"That's cool Jacob. I already have a girl. I don't need a new one." Edward's eyes sparkled and he flashed the adorable half smile.

"Oh. Well you should meet her she's really cool." Jacob tugged on my arm and reavealed me to the crowd of people I already knew.

Edward smiled greater.

"Well," he said, "Maybe I will meet a new girl. What's your name?"

I bit my lip and answered. "Isabella." though I didn't like my full name, I thought I'd play around.

"Well, Isabella, would you like to dance?"

"I most certainly would Edward."

You will get a new chapter soon before christmas with a nice christmassy Lemon! Sorry it's so late guys.
