"Bella, will you stay the night with me?"

Hmmm….should I stay with him? My dad will be expecting me in the morning to be at Jake's for breakfast. Since, Billy won't be home until at least nine in the morning I could just get up early enough to beat him home. Charlie wouldn't find out but then again, after tonight's discussion, I don't think he would say anything.

"If you are worried about my parents, please don't. They aren't going to say anything. Actually, they are going to be ecstatic to see you," Edward broke me from my thoughts.

"What's that suppose to mean?"

Edward looked away for a minute and it seemed as if he was choosing his words very carefully. That can't be good.

"Well…I have never brought a girl home before. So when I told my mom that I invited you over, she went crazy."

"Why haven't you brought any home? I am sure that girls are throwing themselves at you."

"I'm not innocent by any means but I never bring them home." He shrugged his shoulders.

"Never mind. It's not my business. Yes, I would like to stay with you but I am going to have to leave early in the morning. I told my dad that I was making breakfast at the Black's. So, don't expect any morning cuddling," I laughed.

"Who said I wanted anything that would call for cuddling?" He gave me a smug look.

I hopped out of the Jeep and closed the door. I wrapped my arms around Edward's neck and pulled him in for a lingering kiss. I backed off with a smile.

"Because you are a guy that just asked me to stay the night and," I pushed myself into the bulge of his pants. "Because of this, but I think that I can take care of that for you."

He didn't say a word but grabbed my hand and led me inside quickly. I giggled the whole way up to his room. After turning on a dim lamp, which was on his bed side table, Edward faced me and brought me to him, giving me a kiss on the lips then made his way down my neck.

"Edward, I need to text Jake and let him know I'll be there in the morning, just real quick."

Edward released me with a grunt while I yanked my phone from my pocket. I texted Jake and sat the phone on the table.

"This may sound cheesy, but I need to put some music on, Bella. You know just loud enough to make sure Emmett doesn't barge in."

"Can't you lock the door?" I asked. That was a simple solution.

"Have you seen the guy? A lock is not enough to stop that beast from coming through that door." He pointed.

"Ok, I suppose you're right."

"Lucky for you, I have decent taste of music." I just laughed as Edward walked to his dresser and turned on the iHome.

Ok, not bad but I hope this isn't a crazy "sex" playlist.

He came back over to me, put his hands on my hips, and I draped my arms back around his neck. I stood on my tip toes to bring me closer to his lips, but he lifted me slightly, so he didn't have to bend down. I ran my tongue across his lips and he allowed me to 'pass go.' He tasted amazing. I removed myself from his lips and started kissing along his jaw, to his ear, then taking his ear lobe, gently, giving it a bite. I heard his slight moan. I kissed down his neck and brought my lips back to his, placing a small kiss.

Edward kicked off his flip-flops, as did I, and placed me on his bed. This bed was indeed comfy. I sat on the edge of the bed and Edward stood between my legs.

"Take your shirt off, Edward," I said and he obliged.

I began to pull the bottom hem of my shirt up but he placed his hands over mine.

"Let me do it."

I moved my hands and he slowly removed my shirt. I was still in my bikini, so it didn't bother me to be sitting there without a shirt. I kissed his chest, then moved to lie up on the pillows. Edward stood there a minute just looking at me. I grasped his hand and he joined me on the bed. We began to make-out some more. He raised his head, looking at me adoringly, and I knew he was asking if he could proceed further. I smiled back at him, wanting more. He started a trail of kisses from my neck to collar bone to my chest and then to the tops of my breast. I arched into him, asking for more. He began to graze a hand up my sides and to my breast, my heart was beating frantically just anticipating where it was going. Then the song changed in the background and I gasped. No fucking way? Edward heard my breath and stopped his movements. He was definitely getting luck tonight. I sat up quickly and hurriedly untied my bikini top to reveal myself to Edward.

"I'm not complaining but what is this all about?" Edward was asking the girls and I just giggled. Typical guy.

"City Love. John Mayer. I love John Mayer, and this is one of my favorite songs."

"So are you saying that if I play John Mayer, you will let me see your boobies?" he chuckled.

"Maybe. It just surprised me. Sure, every guys knows Your Body Is a Wonderland is a panty-dropper, but City Love…it is a beautiful story. I am a sucker for John." I put my hands on either side of Edward's face and gave him a kiss. He smiled into my lips.

"Bella, can I tell you something?"

"Yeah."

"I know I have only known you two days but I feel like the guy in that song." I knew exactly what he was talking about in that moment. It made my heart beat a little faster but then fear washed over me. This is not going to end well. Do I just let this happen or stop and tell him what I really want out of this? I was silent for a second, trying to reel in my emotions. I liked Edward. We just met but I never was able to shake the weird feelings I had since then. He could read the fear in my eyes and sat up with me.

"Bella, I didn't mean to freak you out, but I really do like you," he said and took hold of the comforter to cover me.

"Thank you," I said and placed my hands on top of the white fluffiness. I gathered my thoughts and decided that I needed to be honest with him. I didn't want this to end badly. "Edward, I think we need to talk."

"Okay." He turned a little pale like all guys do when girls say those words.

"I am going to be honest with you. When I am finished, I want you to be honest with me. Does that sound fair?"

"Yes?" he was slightly hesitant in answering.

"I like you and have never felt more comfortable with a guy before. I am really enjoying our time together. Honestly, I didn't even feel this kind of attraction with my ex, Tyler, and we dated for four years. It has been six months since we broke it off and it wasn't a bad break up either. It was actually really easy and I didn't even shed a tear, now that I think about it. Anyway, my point is that this is a new feeling for me and is kind of freaking me out because I have only known you for two days. This thing between us, I only planned on letting it happen as a summer fling." I place my hand on top of his and continued talking. "Edward, I think I want more out of this. Funny thing, my dad and I just had an awkward talk tonight about how he thinks that you are good for me. Please, don't take this the wrong way; I'm not looking to marry tomorrow. I just wanted to be honest with you and let you know my initial intentions." I squeezed his hand a little and smiled at him. He looked like he was thinking hard, so I gave him time to speak.

"Thank you for being honest with me, Bella. I am definitely disappointed that you were going to use me, though… I don't know what I really need to say. I will just be honest with you as you were with me. I like you and I think that we are feeling the same feelings. I have been attracted to you since the minute we spoke. I think I am willing to forget about the whole summer fling thing but I want to know that you are not going to give up on me when the summer is over. We both are going to have crazy schedules soon and I need to know that we are going to work things out. Don't think that I am going to stop you from achieving any of the goals you have set and I expect the same from you."

I nodded. "I am willing to do that for you, Edward. Thank you for forgiving me. Sorry, but the thoughts hit me all at once and I just couldn't keep them in or they would have torn me apart. I am not much of a person to keep things bottled in, I hate feeling overwhelmed."

"That's ok, I am here to listen." He still looked at me adoringly.

"So…where do we go from here?" I asked. Here I am, topless in a guy's bed, well, not just any guy but a great guy.

"I am going to leave that up to you. I am not going to push you into doing anything you don't want to do," he said.

"Are we still being honest?" I asked, looking at him.

"I hope you are always going to be honest with me, Bella." Edward gave me a firm look.

"I will. I still want you but I am sleepy as hell. Can we just get some sleep and maybe spoon?"

I realized that Journey's Any Way You Want It was playing in the background. How fitting.

Edward laughed. "Whatever you want. Let me turn the music off."

Edward got up and turned the music off and came back to the bed.

"Do you want your shirt?" he asked and had picked it up from the floor.

"No, just lay with me," I said and got settled under the covers.

Edward smiled and joined me in his bed. He reached over and turned the lamp off. I turned to lie on my side, facing away from him. I felt him turn on his side and was getting settled in under the comforter and adjusting his pillow. He scooted a little closer to me and I moved back towards him. I reached back and grabbed his arm to drape over me. Edward then snuggled up to me and placed a kiss on my shoulder.

"Good night, Edward."

"Good night, Bella."
