I don't own Twilight. You know the rest.


BPOV

I pulled into the driveway and smiled. Edward was waiting for me outside and walked up, opening my door. I cut the engine and unbuckled my seatbelt.

"Hey," I said softly and smiled.

"I really missed you this week," Edward said and helped me out of the Jeep.

"I know. I missed you too. This next week shouldn't be too bad, though. Well, I will be staying an hour later because of swim club."

"You aren't working twelve hour shifts all week too, are you?"

"No. Just Wednesday."

"Okay." I pulled him to me and brought my lips to his. Edward wrapped his arms around my waist.

"Mmm…" he moaned and then pulled away. "What do you have planned for this weekend?"

"Nothin' really. I work until four tomorrow but I'll probably go to Jake's after for fireworks. I kind of just want to relax this weekend, since I had a busy week," I said and kissed him again.

"Well, what would you say to maybe going out of town for the weekend?"

"Oh? Where to?"

"I was thinking just up to Chicago. We still have our house up there."

"That sounds great. I haven't been to Chicago for fireworks in a really long time!" I said excitedly.

"Hey! You guys comin' in?" Emmett shouted from the doorway.

"Yeah, yeah," Edward replied and waved him off. He bent down to give me one more kiss and hugged me. We intertwined our fingers and walked into the house.

"Hey, Bella," Esme said and gave me a hug.

"It's good to see you again, Esme. Alice and Rose should be here soon."

I was making small talk with Esme in the kitchen and helping her finish up dinner when the door bell rang. Emmett answered it and Rose and Alice joined us. I made introductions and it didn't take long for Esme and Alice to start headlong into conversation about the party.

"Alright, let's go eat dinner," Esme said. "Boys, dinner is served." The guys had left us to talk.

We promptly sat at the dining room table and passed around the dishes of food.

"This pot roast is amazing, Mrs. Cullen," Alice said.

"Thank you, but please call me Esme. Have you thought of a theme for the party?"

"No, we kind of just dress formally. I think that is a fantastic idea though. What do you have in mind?" Alice asked.

"Well, I was first thinking of a 50's theme but fashion in the 30's was so much more sophisticated."

"I love that idea!" Rose shouted. Scared the shit out of me that is for sure.

"What do you think, Bella?" Alice asked, somewhat jumping up and down in her seat.

"Hey, I am fine for whatever you want to plan. I am actually kind of excited to push my planning responsibilities to someone else."

"What? You don't want to help plan this?" Alice yelled.

"Well, yeah. I would like to help, but to be honest, with this being the last summer at the pool; I am going to be busy tying up loose ends. I think that you three are going to be perfectly capable of throwing a great party," I said.

"Plus, it gives her more time with me," Edward put in his thought, and then leaned in to give me a quick kiss on the cheek.

"Awww…how sweet, Eddie," Emmett cooed and I just laughed. I really did miss Edward this past week and thought it was kind of sweet that he wanted to spend more time with me.

"It is sweet. I am excited to have nearly the whole weekend with only you," I said to Edward and patted his thigh under the table.

"What do you mean?" Rose asked.

"Oh, Bella and I are going to Chicago for the weekend."

"Well, then I hope you have a good weekend. You know you are going to be missing out on fireworks by the lake," Alice said.

"Yeah because that is the greatest fireworks show ever!" I said sarcastically.

We finished eating dinner and quickly cleaned everything up. Alice, Rose, and Esme decided to plan the party and agreed to ask my opinion when needed.

Afterwards, Esme cut us a piece of double chocolate cake that she had bought from the bakery in town. Edward and I were both pretty full so we decided to share a piece. Edward wanted to relax for a bit, so we took dessert up to his room and got comfortable on his bed. Resting against the headboard, he fed me bites of the cake.

"God, I love Sandra's cakes. Especially this one; chocolate cake with chocolate frosting. Life sometimes just doesn't get any better than having this much chocolate," I said, wiping my mouth.

"Oh, really?" Edward said as he took my napkin and set the plate on his side table. He turned back to me, cupping my face in his hands, and bringing his lips to mine. "Is that better than chocolate?" he whispered against my lips.

"No." I still had my eyes closed but grinned at him.

"Hmph," he grunted and brought his lips to mine again. He skimmed the tip of his tongue along my lips and I gladly opened my mouth for him. I could still taste the cake on him and it was magnificent; Edward and chocolate. Life really might not get any better than that. He pulled away and I looked at him. "How about now?" he asked. I think that I need another taste to make a decision.

"No," I said.

"Bella," he growled, then quickly had me lying on my back and was hovering over me. He started placing open mouth kisses along my shoulder, then up my neck, across my jaw, and back to my mouth. I brought my hands up to his hair and pulled his lips back to mine. I let him continue kissing me like he was before and decided that he was slightly better than chocolate. We broke apart and I stared into his lustful eyes. "Now?"

"Marginally," I giggled.

"Bella," he huffed and started tickling me.

"Okay, okay. You are substantially better but together, it is pure heaven for me," I said and smiled at him.

"That's better," he laughed and kissed me again.

"Edward…it's getting late. I need to pack and get to bed for work in the morning."

"Okay. What time do you get off work? I can pick you up there," he said and lay beside me.

"Well, I was working until four but I will be done at two. It won't take me long to finish all of my filing. I can't leave the Jeep overnight at the pool though, so you can pick me up at my house. I will need to shower, too, before we leave."

"Will two thirty give you enough time then?"

"Yes. Is there anything in particular I will need to pack?" I asked.

"Not that I can think of. Whatever you bring will be fine."

"Okay, well then I guess I should be going," I said and leaned over to give him a kiss.

I said goodbye to everyone and Edward walked me out. We only had a quick make-out session outside before I left.

When I got home, my dad was passed out in his chair. I woke him up and told him to head to bed. I let him know that I was going to Chicago with Edward for the weekend and he just shrugged his shoulders and went to his room.

I packed my bags and set out my clothes for tomorrow. I did pack a sundress, just in case. Tomorrow all I would need to do was grab my bathroom things and I would be good to go. I texted Edward to tell him goodnight and once I hit the pillow, I was out.

The day went by pretty fast and I got all of my things done with ease. I let the head guard in-training know that I was leaving early and made him a check list for closing up shop. I got home, and I showered and dressed. I put on a pair of khaki capris and a blue tank top, just something simple. There was a knock on the door and I knew it was Edward. I ran downstairs and opened the door for him. I may have ogled him in his own khaki cargo shorts, white button down, and flip flops.

"Like?" he asked and smirked, knowing full well that I was taking in the site of him.

"Very much," I said and went to my tip toes to peck him on the lips. He reached out and pulled me to him, deepening the kiss. He brushed his lips across mine for a moment.

"You know, that color of blue on you drives me absolutely crazy. I don't think that I ever have seen it on you."

"Well, I guess that I have to wear it more often. Let me go grab my bag and we can get going," I said and hurried to grab my things. I heard Edward follow me up the stairs.

"Can I see your room?"

"Yeah. You haven't been in here, have you?" I said, realizing the he has never been up here. There wasn't much to look at. I had a queen sized bed, a desk, a dresser, and a small closet. My walls were painted a soft green color with a few picture frames here and there of my family. Not much.

"I like it. I totally pictured something like this. This is so you, simple but perfectly beautiful," he said. looking around.

"You ready? I give you permission to snoop around later," I said and picked up my bag.

"Alright. Let's hit the road."

Edward put my bag in the back seat and we were off. The drive was only two hours and I was really excited. Knowing that there is not too much scenery on the drive I brought my iPod with me to make the drive bearable.

"Do you mind?" I asked and held up my iPod. Edward shook his head and plugged it in. I set it on shuffle.

(Gives You Hell by All-American Rejects)

I sat there looking out the window and tapping my foot to the music.

(Stayin' Alive by the Bee Gees)

"Do you seriously have this song?" Edward asked.

"Uh, yeah. It was only one of the best disco songs ever! Don't act like you never got in to the groove of this song."

"Damn! You got me there. I actually have never watched Saturday Night Fever."

"WHAT?" This guy has got to be kidding me. "Have you lived under a rock?"

"No. I just never have sat down to watch it. What am I suppose to say? 'Hey, Em. Let's watch Saturday Night Fever so we can watch some sweet dance moves?' I don't think so."

I laughed. I guess that wouldn't seem like a very good scenario for Edward. He would never live it down with Emmett. "Ok, I get it, but we are going to be having a movie night and we are sooo watching that movie."

"Sounds like a plan. What's your favorite movie?"

"That's a tough question, I have too many."

"Okay. Favorite romantic comedy?"

"50 First Dates," I said. "Yours?"

"Can't say that I have one. My favorite comedy would have to be Old School, though. Favorite action movie?"

"I am going to have to go with Knockaround Guys. Favorite sports movie?"

"Easy. Rudy."

"I should have known that."

"Favorite cartoon movie? Be very careful with this because it could be a deal breaker." He smirked.

"That is an easy one for me. Aladdin," I answered and he narrowed his eyes at me. "Should you pull over, so I can get out or what?"

"Ha. You must have read my mind because that is the best cartoon movie ever. A classic in my book."

(Like a Rolling Stone by Bob Dylan)

"I am glad that we see eye to eye on that subject," I laughed.

(Not the Sun by Brand New)

"Hmmm. Dylan to Brand New. I would not have pegged you to listen to Brand New, at all," he stated.

"Yeah, I guess not but you know when you just need to listen to something loud, they are my go-to band." I shrugged.

"I know what you mean. They are a really good band though. I have gone to one of their concerts and they put on a great show."

"Really, when?" I asked. I don't think that they have had a concert anywhere nearby.

"Oh, I think about three years ago. I spent a summer in Texas with some friends, and they were playing in Austin."

"That's cool."

(Hungry Heart by Bruce Springsteen)

(Viva la Vida by Coldplay)

We sat in comfortable silence and I was lost in my own thoughts. I had a lot of things coming up, with this being the last summer at the pool, and was trying really hard not to think about work. I glanced over an Edward and he seemed to be thinking himself.

(Everyday by Dave Matthews Band)

(Hotel California by The Eagles)

(Crossroads by Cream)

(Love Soon by John Mayer)

Edward reached over and took hold of my hand. I turned towards him and smiled. He brought my hand up to his lips, kissed it, and returned the smile.

"Bella? Who's your favorite musician or band?" he asked. I furrowed my forehead and looked at him like he asked a dumb question.

"Really? Why would you even have to ask?"

"I asked because I don't know."

"John Mayer. I know I have told you this before. Do you not listen to me?"

"Uh, I definitely listen to you but you have never said that he was your favorite musician. I know that you are a fan of his but that doesn't mean he is your favorite. Now that I think about it, all that you have said was 'I am a sucker for John Mayer.' That was the night I got to see your boobies," he laughed.

"Huh. Now, that I think about it, you are right. Even after you showed me your guitar, I don't think I said anything. You got lucky this time, Cullen." I laughed. "So, here it is. I love John Mayer. My friends think that I am completely ridiculous sometimes but he is amazing."

"He is a great musician," he said, squeezing my hand and smiling at me. We still had about an hour drive left and I was starting to get sleepy. I yawned and rested my head against the back of the seat.

"Take a nap. I know that you had a busy week and I want you to enjoy our weekend together. I don't want you too tired."

"Okay," I said and closed my eyes.

(Pink Houses by John Cougar Mellencamp)

"Bella." I felt a hand gently caressing my cheek. "Bella. We are here." I opened my eyes and Edward was leaning in towards me. I smiled and he gave me a kiss on the lips.

"That was a nice nap. Where are we?" I asked. I hadn't talked to Edward about what we would be doing this weekend. I looked out the window and we were parking in front of a two car garage.

"We are at my house. This is where I grew up. I figured we could get settled in then head over to Navy Pier."

"I haven't been to the Pier in years."

"Let's take our things in, I'll give you a quick tour of the house, then we can leave."

We got out of the car and Edward grabbed both of our bags from the back seat. He unlocked a side door that lead into the kitchen. I really shouldn't have been surprised to see that the kitchen was huge. I didn't even notice the outside of the house to determine what could be in the interior. The kitchen, like their house back home, had stainless steel appliances, granite counter tops, a large island, but had cherry wood cabinets not chocolate brown.

"This is the kitchen. Come on let me take you through the house."

We walked through a small hallway then into a family room. There was a large built in entertainment center with a flat screen TV hanging from the wall and on the opposite side, sat baby grand piano. I followed him down a set of stairs and he showed me the "guys den," as he called it. The lower level of the house was just a huge recreation room with a pool table, a poker table, and ping-pong table, a bar, and of course a huge screen and projector hanging from the ceiling. Finally finished with the tour he guided me to his room. It was very much like his other room. Nearly the same color blue, a huge bed, but I could see where his computer desk was missing and all of his guitars.

"If you want you can hang your clothes in the closet. There is plenty of room."

"Okay." I opened my bag that Edward had set on the bed and pulled out my outfits to hang. I walked over to the closet and there wasn't much in there but a few shirts, some jeans, and a couple of suits. I heard him walk in behind me to hang his own clothes.

"Ready? You must be starving. I know I am."

"Yes. Where are we going?" I asked.

"I thought that we would just eat at the Pier. I haven't been to the Beer Gardens and I heard that they usually have some pretty good bands playing. Considering it's the fourth they should have booked a really good band."

"Sweet. That sounds like fun."

Edward was so much in his element driving around Chicago. I know that I would have been lost on those crazy streets and all of the one-ways.

By no time we were in a parking garage and then walking through the throngs of people all heading to the Pier. Edward went up to a standing map to make sure that we were walking in the right direction to the Beer Gardens. We walked hand in hand, making small talk about the crowd around us.

It was a beautiful afternoon and small breeze coming in from the lake was refreshing.

Surprisingly, we did not have to wait for a table. They served a very basic menu of burgers and brats. Edward ordered a brat, I got a hamburger, and we both took a Bud Light. We were sitting in the large patio area and it was located right along the edge of the pier. The skyline was in perfect view and I couldn't wait to see the sight when it grew dark. When we arrived around six thirty there was already a band playing, so we caught the tail end of the show. The next band was scheduled to play at eight, we ate quickly, but decided to stay and wait for the next band, plus we were in a prime location for the fireworks. We got another round of beers and I scooted closer towards Edward as we listened to the band play. They had a nice R&B, soul style of music, and it was very relaxing. Edward draped his arm around my shoulders and kissed my temple.

"You having a good time?" he asked.

"Very much. Thank you for bringing me here. You know, this is practically our first real date," I said. We haven't really been on a date, just lunches and then dinner with his family.

"Hmmm… I guess so. I will have to make it the best first date ever then." I smiled up at him and then brought my lips to his. We kissed for a moment but then I remembered that we were in public and I reluctantly pulled away from him. "Hey, I wasn't done yet."

"Edward, I am not into too much PDA," I said.

Soon, streams of people were starting to get seated for the fireworks to start all around the pier. All we had to do was shift our chairs to face the lake. The band played their last song and we waited for the firework show to begin. The fireworks were absolutely beautiful and they were set to the most patriotic music. The last series of fireworks were set to the Star Spangled Banner and everyone was out of their seats singing and being the proud Americans we are.

"Hey, you wanna get some ice cream?" Edward asked me.

"Sure."

"What do you want? Dippin' Dots or Haagen Daz?" That was a tough choice but I think that some classic chocolate ice cream sounded pretty good right now.

"Haagen Daz." The walk was treacherous through all the people leaving, but eventually we got to our destination before they closed. Edward got strawberry in a cup and I got my chocolate. We sat on a bench overlooking the lake and skyline.

"This is an amazing view of Chicago," I said.

"Yea it is but after this we are going on the Ferris wheel to get a more grand view of the city."

"Only if you hold my hand the whole time. I am kind of scared of heights and don't go on rides very often."

"Really? I love doing the amusement park thing."

"The funny thing is, I can ride any water ride no matter what the height and not be afraid but I won't even come close to standing in line for a rollercoaster."

"That's interesting, but I promise to hold your hand the whole time and I even promise to hold it the rest of the evening. How does that sound?"

"Sounds great!" We finished our ice cream and Edward grabbed my hand as we made our way to the Ferris wheel. The cost of riding was a ridiculous twelve dollars a person but Edward insisted that we ride it. Once the ride was started it wasn't too bad, it was the entire stop and go of everyone getting on and off that kind of scared me.

"Now, isn't that a great view of the city?" Edward asked as we were nearing the top of the wheel.

"It is," I agreed and leaned into him. The ride was over and we were making our way towards the exit when a huge sign started flashing in front of us. It was the IMAX sign and they had a midnight showing of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.

"Bella, are you up for watching a movie?" he asked. I might have noticed that he was looking very hopefully that I say yes.

"Yes, I got a few more hours in me," I said.

"Oh, thank you. I have wanted to see this movie since it came out but have never had the time and it is at the IMAX!" He shouted and pulled me along to the ticket booth. "Want anything?"

"No, I am good but I do have to go the bathroom." We each parted ways and then met back up. There was a decent amount of people in the theatre but we got seats in the center of the theatre. The movie was really good and the special effects were awesome. I like the first Transformers and this was going to be right up there with my favorite action movies.

"That was incredible. Thanks for coming with me to see it," Edward said as he wrapped his arm around my shoulders and we walked back to the car.

"I must say that our first date couldn't have gone any better; beer, burgers, fireworks, a romantic ride in the Ferris wheel, ice cream, and a movie. That's like all the best first dates anyone can think of in a huge mash up. It was perfect!" I said as we approached his car.

"So was that your best first date?"

"Unforgettable, Edward." I smiled and he opened the door for me. I strapped in as he made his way to the driver's seat. The traffic wasn't very busy so we were back at his house in no time. After being outside all afternoon I was feeling kind of gross so I decided that I needed a shower before we went to bed.

"I am going to take a quick shower," I said grabbing a tank top and panties to sleep in and my bathroom bag.

"Okay. I need one, too, but I am going make sure that all the doors and windows are locked around the house first," he said and left the room.

I put all my shower things in the small shelf that was inside the shower and turned the water on. I showered quickly and found myself relaxed and exhausted afterwards. I put my clothes on and hung my towel up. Edward still wasn't in the room so I pulled the covers back and was getting settled in when he came strutting in with only boxers on and wet hair.

"Did you already shower?"

"Yeah. I didn't know if you really wanted me to join you so I showered in Emmett's room," he said, walking to the other side of the bed.

"I wouldn't have minded but that's okay." I turned towards him as he shut off the light and got into bed. He lay on his back and I cuddled up to him, laying my head on his chest and he hugged me closer to him.

"Goodnight, Bella. Get some much needed rest," Edward said.

"Goodnight, Edward." I brought my head up, searching for his lips in the dark room. He helped me out and our lips met for a quick kiss. I snuggled back into him, sighing, and dissolving into sleep.

I didn't know what time it was but I started to wake from my slumber and was horny as all get out. I opened my eyes and it was still dark out so I couldn't have been sleeping for long and I was still in the same position that I feel asleep in. I closed my eyes hoping that sleep would take over but all I could think about was waking Edward up. He seemed to be in a perfect sleep so I didn't want to wake him. I could just take care of business on my own but that wouldn't be right when Edward was right here.

I stayed put for a few minutes when my mind started to wonder, think about all the things that I could do to wake Edward up and have him take me. I was soaking wet and it was kind of becoming uncomfortable staying like this without doing something about it. So, I tried to move as little as possible and took off my panties, throwing them to the floor, and then decided that it was time to wake Edward up.

I slowly moved over him and straddled his stomach. He didn't move an inch beside his arm falling to the mattress. I lowered my mouth to his neck and began to leave open mouth kisses from his neck, up his jaw, then kissed just below his ear. He still didn't move. I moved my hands to his hair and began to massage his head still giving him kisses along his neck and face, and then finally he started to moan but didn't move. His moans didn't do anything for my situation and only made me wetter. I had to get Edward up. I moved down to straddle his hips and indeed he was up, but not yet awake.

"Edward…baby," I whispered in his ear. I felt his hands take hold of my waist and ground me harder on him. "Edward, I need you."

"Mmmhmm…" he moaned and began to move his hips with mine.

"Edward, wake up. Please," I begged. "If you don't wake up I am going to just take you like this."

"You can have me anyway you want," he said sleepily and finally opened his eyes.

"Thank God. I am so ready for you right now."

He moved his hands from my waist and to the band of his boxers. I moved up slightly so he could take them off and he kicked them the rest of the way off. I kissed him then demanded with my mouth to let me explore his mouth. I looked down at him and brought my hand in between us. I grabbed hold of his cock, pumping up and down a few times, as he hissed in pleasure, and then brought the tip to my dripping center, moving it along my folds then to my entrance. Still looking at him, I guided him in, releasing him from my grip, placing both of my hands on his chest, and bringing myself down on him.

"Edward…you feel so good in me," I moaned, feeling every inch of him filling me completely.

"Bella, I love being inside of you," he said and had hold of my hips squeezing them. I lifted up, then back down, slowly, wanting this to last for a while. I threw my head back just relishing in the feeling of him. It had been nearly a week since we had been together and this was even better than I remembered. As I threw my head back, though, I arched my back and he hit a new angle, it was amazing. He began to thrust his hips into mine at a faster pace and I looked back down at him. He had his eyes closed.

"Edward, look at me," I said and he opened his eyes. I leaned down and kissed him feverishly. I broke away from him and began to move faster over him and we met thrust for thrust.

"Fuck, Bella. So…gooood," he groaned. His little sounds were bringing me to the edge of my climax. He must have realized it or something, because the next thing I know is he had his thumb circling my clit and I began to orgasm. One, two, three, four more quick thrust and Edward spilled into me.

"Oh, God, Edward. Yeeeessss, Edward," I screamed. I fell on to his chest and I slowly rocked back and forth on top of him, riding out our orgasms.

We lay still for a while but I sat back up, giving Edward a kiss then moving off of him, slowly. I lay back down in my spot and cuddled into Edward's side again.

"I guess you put out on the first date, Edward," I giggled.

"Hey," he laughed. I yawned and I think that I was going to be able to sleep soundly the rest of the night or morning, whatever it was.

"Night, baby," I said.

"Night."

I fell asleep, again, with a sigh of contentment.
