EPOV

I stopped by the chinese place in the city that was about five minutes from Bella's apartment. I picked up some sweet and sour chicken, shrimp fried rice, pineapples with sauce and a few others things for us to eat.

I didn't even bother to swing by my house because I figured I could shower at Bella's, I had a change of clothes at her house anyways, it was no big deal. When I arrived I ran into Kelly, I greeted her before getting out my key and heading into the apartment. After setting the food down I went straight to the shower, only having about five minutes until she got home.

Since I didn't have my shampoo, I just used hers, which smelt like vanilla with a slight scent of strawberry. I washed up quickly and stepped out, ruffling my hair with the towel before wrapping it around my waist and heading to her bedroom.

There was a pair of sweats and a wifebeater, and a pair of boxers thrown in there. I dressed quickly with the clothes, eager to get finished quick so I could greet her by the door. When I got back into the kitchen I took out the boxes and put them on the floor in the living room, flipping on her television to watch Family Guy.

Just then she walked in, smiling widely when she saw me. Her bag dropped from her arms and she quickly walked towards me.

" Thank god, I missed you." she exclaimed, kneeling down and dumping herself into my arms.

I breathed in her scent, which smelt of coffee beans. I kissed her temple softly and ran my fingers through her long hair, whichwas full of tangles.

" I need to shower, please. After being groped by a co-worker... Ugh." she shivered and stood up

" Atleast two gay guys didn't want you to join their group. I got notes tonight."

" Your dishing that story when I get out!"

I heard the bathroom door slam and the water was turned on. When she reappeared she was freshly showered, wearing a pair of shorts and a small tanktop. I reached for my work pants, whih I'd folded and left on the floor, taking out the two notes I'd recieved tonight when I was working. I knew she woul get a kick out of it somehow.

" They were giving me the googly eyes all night. And a group of four women were ogling me. I had to tell the red head I was married to get her foot from rubbing my leg. I've got the damn note in my pocket with the girls number telling me to call her."

Bella pouted and I kissed her lips, my right hand resting gently on her cheek.

" You happen to be mine." she murmured against my lips before leaning back.

I picked up a fork and dug it into the rice to get a nice forkful, carefully lifting it up to Bella's awaiting lips. She wrapped her lips around the fork and pulled away, chewed slowly before pressing her lips to mine.

" I've missed you." she murmured

My hand ran over the smooth skin on her cheekbone " You, too, beloved."

She kissed me softly before pulling away " Now, I am starved. We can finish that later."

I picked up a piece of the chicken and dipped it in the pineapple sauce, shoveling the whole thing in my mouth. I was eating with my girlfriend, and I'm not one to say I don't have to impress, but Bella doesn't hold such sky high standards. She knew who was was falling in love with, and apparently thats me.

" That was pretty impressive. Does being lusted over make you hungry?" she teased, taking a piece of chicken herself.

" You have no idea." I groaned, chewing and swallowing.

We ate, talking between bites and laughing at the episode of Family Guy we were watching. I sneaked in small kisses between our bites of food. Once we finished, I threw out the white cartons and went back into the living room, seeing Bella curled up on the couch. She patted the spot next to her and I took a seat, wrapping my arm around her waist tightly to pull her close to me.

I'd missed holding her all week, my bed was cold, and I missed the sleepovers on school nights. Seeing eachother between classes and actually sitting next to eachother in the classes. Of course we'd never dated in highschool per se, but I still missed the little things.

BPOV

With a grunt, he fell on his back on the couch, I crawled up his body, kissing my way up his neck to his lips. I'd missed this every single day this week, he worked last Sunday, but he had this one off, so I was hoping he would come back tomorrow night after work and stay until I left for work Sunday morning at ten.

We really don't get all that much time together because of work, if it were just classes, it wouldn't be a big deal at all, but the work was in the way. Truthfully I just wished I was able to just go to school. Edward of course is able to, but he said that he wanted to work for it, because it gives him a sense of accomplishment. Although Carlisle and Esme are paying for his classes, he has to pay for rent and food for himself.

As I kissed him, I tried to shift around, but this seemed to be very hard on a couch as small as this one, and it wasn't very wide.

Bed.

Slowly I sat up " Come on."

Edward sat up quickly, lifting his body up and leading me backwards into my bedroom. I turned us around and pushed him onto the bed. The good part was, things were going good, the bad part, it was ruined because he banged his head on the wall.

He gasped and sucked in a breath. Immediatly I stopped, pulling my lips from his neck.

" Edward! Oh my god. Love, are you okay?"

" Fuck, that hurt like a bitch."

I put my hands on the back of his head and he winced in pain, trying to move away. I kissed both of his cheeks and helped him sit up. I felt around his scalp, making sure there was no cuts or blood. I didn't want to make it worse, but I didn't want to just not feel around if there was something cut.

" Does anything feel funny besides the pain."

" N-No." he stuttered, staring at my chest.

I settled in his lap, wrapping both of my arms around his neck tightly in an embrace. He kissed the side of my neck, his hands rubbing circles on my back to assure me that he was okay.

" I didn't mean to hurt you, I was just playing."

" I know, Bella. I'm okay, I promise. Want to make me feel better though?"

Leaning back, I looked into his green eyes " What?"

" Kiss me."

I leaned forward, capturing his lips in a kiss. He laid us on our sides and loosely put his arms around me as he held me. I sighed against his mouth, running my fingers through his bronze locks.

I'd never experienced such peaceful bliss.

In the morning, I awoke earlier then Edward. As always, he had managed to wrap himself completely around me. As gently as I could, I pealed him off of me and grabbed my robe from my chair and fastened it around my waist over my tanktop and shorts. I ran a brush through my hair and heard my phone ringing in the kitchen.

Quickly, I skipped out of the room and grabbed it, not wanting to noise to wake Edward.

" Hello," I answered sleepily, digging through the fridge.

" Hi, darling. You sound tired." I heard my mother say.

" Oh, hi mom. Yeah, I just got up."

She laughed " Sounds like your ruffling around, what are you up to?"

" Making breakfast for Edward and I." I answered, not really thinking much of it.

" Oh, he slept over?"

" Yeah, he has Fridays off and I got Saturdays off, and he doesn't work until noon today so he came over after my shift last night and we spent time together."

" That's nice, what did you do?"

" Nothing. We just ate, watched television and went to bed." I said nonchalantly

I could almost see her glaring at the phone. " Do you expect me to believe that's all that you did?"

" Well, what else do you presume we did?" I asked.

Now she was quiet.

" I'm not going to give you every gory detail about our relationship. What we do in the privacy of our apartments is none of your business."

" It sure is, Isabella."

" I am going to be nineteen in six days...Look, I really don't want to talk about this right now. I'll just talk to you later."

She bid me a goodbye and I hung up, starting to make breakfast for the both of us. As I was putting toast into the toaster, two strong arms wrapped around my waist. A smile spread over my face and I turned around.

" Morning, beloved."

" Good morning." I greeted, kissing his chin.

After I finished breakfast, we ate and then cleaned up all of the dishes. I didn't make anything too special, just eggs, bacon and toast. This morning I really wasn't into making a huge meal for us, but he didn't seem to mind. He dressed in his previous clothes from last night and walked up to me.

" I should head home and get ready for work. But I want your ass in my apartment."

" This ass?" I asked.

He wrapped his arms around me, planting both of his hands on my ass and grasping. I laughed, surprised and he smiled down at me, a lopsided grin on his face.

" THIS ass."

I kissed his lips softly" Okay...What time do you get off?"

" Around ten. Please don't go to sleep before I get home."

" Maybe I will, maybe I wont." I teased

"I must go, beloved."

I squeezed him once and let him go, following him towards the door to let him out. I opened the door and he stepped through. I leaned against the door frame.

" I'll see you tonight."

" Okay. Be safe." I whispered.

" Always am."

He kissed my forehead, gave me a wink and walked down the stairs towards the front door. I locked my door and leaned against it, already bored and at loss at what to do now. I found it sad that I was already missing him.

I knew that sitting here and doing nothing wouldn't be any good so I kept myself busy with cleaning; starting with my bedroom, then the living room and kitchen. Lastly I cleaned the bathroom, bleaching everything and cleaning up the mirror. I even dusted the front door and shined all the knobs on the kitchen cabinets.

Finally I showered, dressed and got in the car to do a little bit of grocery shopping. I talked to Alice a little bit while I went through the aisle's, she babbled about how school was going for her also a little bit about Jasper.

She was planning on sending Edward and I's birthday gifts to the apartments, so she asked for the address, ignoring my complaints that I didn't want anything for my Birthday. When I left the store, I took my time unloading things, trying to buy myself time.

At four I made myself an early dinner, and or late lunch which was a salad and a turkey and bacon sandwich on wheat bread. I went for a run fifteen minutes after eating and then chilled on the couch until seven. I took out one of my many books and settled down for a few hours of good reading when the television started to become more and more less interesting.

At around nine I decided to leave a little earlier, and I grabbed a sweatshirt and slipped on a pair of black flip flops. I grabbed my bag and keys and headed towards the apartment. I pulled up and walked up the stairs towards the top floor.

As I walked down the hall, I heard noises, and not keys or footsteps. It was more like moans and something else that I could no pinpoint. When I glanced down the hall, I saw a dark haired back and a blonde women having sex against the hallway wall

I paused, and looked just a moment. They really seemed to be stuck in the moment, and they didn't even notice me. I saw the guys ass, which was just...there. I shivered in discust and scurried past them to Edward's apartment door. I unlocked it and darted in, locking it behind me.

There door was right there, was it really that impossible to wait?

I rolled my eyes and tossed my shoes off, skipping to the couch. The soft carpet felt nice on my feet. I hopped onto the couch and tossed off my sweatshirt, covering up with a blanket that was drouched in the scent of Edward.

The room grew darker and the television was really the only thing keeping the room lit. I was more and more tired with every passing episode of That 70's Show. At around ten, I heard the lock clicking and the door opening and closing. There was a few noises of shoes and shuffling of clothes before I felt his presence beside me.

I heard him sigh as his arms wormed behind my knee's and on my back. He hoisted me up in his arms and walked towards, what I think, was his bedroom. I lazily opened my eyes and saw him looking down at me.

" Sorry, I just got so tired when I was waiting."

He kissed my forehead " It's okay." he whispered, laying me down on the bed.

Edward unbuttoned my shorts and slid them off, tossing it on the floor. Then he took off my top, which I was only wearing a tanktop under, leaving me in my underwear and the top on me. He kissed my temple, humming against my skin.

" I'm going to take a shower. Some stupid fuck decided it would be fun to throw a coke at me when he asked for diet."

"Mmm."

I heard the water running for ten minutes, and then the open and closing of drawers in the bedroom as he dressed in clean clothing. Soon he crawled into bed behind me, wearing only a pair of boxers.

I turned around in his arms and opened my eyes, leaning forward I pressed my nose against his. He rubbed his nose against mine and I almost melted from the damn sweetness of it. His hand ran through my hair before settling it behind my neck. My hand rested on his chest, rubbing the smooth, sculpted skin.

" Is it stupid to say I missed you?"

" Ilove you." I whispered

" I know you do."

" Are you getting closer to loving me?"

" Halfway there. Fifty percent." he whispered, leaning close to brush his lips against mine.

" No pressure."

He hummed against my lips and I smiled, gently kissing his lips with more pressure then before. Suddenly I heard his stomach rumble, it was vibrating and I could feel it against mine, then I remembered, the man must be starving.

" Shit. You must be fucking starving."

" No, no. It's fine."

" With a boy as skinny as you, it sure as hell is not fine."

I sat up and he groaned in aggrivation.

" Please let me make you something, it would make me feel better."

He swatted my ass " Come back soon."

I ran off to the kitchen, only wearing my underwear and a tanktop. When I opened the fridge, I gasped in excitement upon seeing the Lemonade and Blueberry punch. This drink is absolutely amazing, and one of the drinks Esme has made, along with her Apple mint punch. I poured two glasses, making sure to get a few blueberries in there before going into the kitchen and looking around.

He had some leftover turkey meatloaf in his fridge, so I figured maybe I could amp it up for him. I grabbed a few sun dried tomatoes ( surprised he even had them ) and some garlic, arugula, miracle whip and pancetta. I took two peices of the turkey meatloaf and sliced two rolls.

I chopped up the arugula as fine as I could, and mixed it with the miracle whip and chopped a clove of garlic. I mixed it together and then spread it over four of the half slices to make him two sandwiches. I put the meatloaf on, then a few sun dried tomatoes and put some of the pancetta on it. I did the same to the other sandwich and put it on a plate. I quickly cleaned up the dishes and scampered back to the room with the sandwiches and drinks.

I set the plate in his lap and he laughed " Your just perfect."

" Thank you."

I took a sip of the punch and fought a moan, it was so delicious. Edward took a huge bite of the meatloaf and groaned.

" Good stuff." he said " Here." Edward held it up to my mouth and I took a bite.

It really was delicious, just a recipe that I'd seen on the television while watching Food Network. He ate both of the sandwiches, giving me bites inbetween chewing. Afterwards we polished off the glasses and put all of the dishes on the dresser, not bothering to go into the kitchen.

" Better?"

" Much. Thank you." he answered.

I kissed his lips quickly " It was no problem."

He held me up in his signature way of wrapping his body all around mine. When his leg curled all around mine, I looked at him.

" Enjoying this."

"Sleep." he whispered.

I nestled my face against his neck and draped an arm over his waist. Edward tugged at the comforter to bring it up closer, but it was already tangled around our legs. Instead he grabbed a thick blanket, slowly unraveling it without jostling me to much. He covered my top half with it and I smiled.

" Night."

" Goodnight, beloved."

Fucking birds.

Chirp.

Chirp Chirp

Chirp.

Chirp Chirp Chirp.

Well fucking chirp, chirpidy chirp chirp to you fucking bird. Why in the hell is the window open anyways? It was right outside the damn window, chirping it's heart out and annoying the shit out of me.

" Mom...no, put the frog down and back away."

What the?

Edward was talking in his sleep again.

" Mmm, Bella." he purred against my neck.

I could of sworn he was awake, but he was breathing evenly and his eyes were closed. Fast asleep. I kissed the top of his head and rested my cheek on it. His arms squeezed me tighter, almost cutting off all air circulation.

I looked over at the clock and saw it was eight ten, which meant I had and hour and fifty minutes until I needed to be at work. I laid with Edward for awhile, waiting for him to wake, but he never did. At nine I had to get up and head back, the drive was already fifteen, twenty minutes away and I needed to shower and get off to work.

Without waking him, I pried his arms off and put a pillow in my spot, the one I was laying on so it would smell like me. He grasped it in his arms and squished it tightly. I grabbed my shorts and top, wiggling into both before skipping out of the room and gently closing the door.

I grabbed a pad of paper and wrote him a note;

Edward,

You were sleeping and I didn't want to wake you.

I am off to work, so I guess I will talk to you soon,

and see you next Friday.

I love you, Edward.

- Izzy

I screamed.

Edward dropped me and yelped.

After a very long morning and afternoon of attending classes, I had been very surprised when Edward was waiting outside of my last class this afternoon. He said that he called my work and he was getting today off, and we were spending the day together to celebrate our Birthday.

We'd had lunch at a small bistro downtown and drove back to my place. The attack started when I closed the two front doors. He was all over me, kissing and touching. Barely making it up the stairs, I was fumbling with the lock abd jey as Edward's lips completly covered mine in a passion and lust filled kiss.

I was definately enjoying how the afternoon was going, and I didn't want to stop. I'd basically jumped onto him, my lips latched onto his.

When we finally got it open, he was basically holding me up because my inability to stand, weak at the knee's from his kiss.

Then we heard it.

" HAPPY BIRTHDAY!"

It scared the living shit out of me, and apparently Edward because I was now laying on the hard floor. In the living room were our fou- three, best friends were standing with wide grins on their faces.

" Didn't expect that enterance..." Alice mumbled.

Edward helped me up and looked over at them, they frowned a little bit.

I was kind of pissed that they crashed Edward and I's party, that I wanted to take to the bed, but whatever.

" Hey, guys."

" HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" Emmett boomed.

I shut the door to the apartment and looked over at Alice " How did you get in?"

" Well, I rang the bell and the girl answered, her name was Angela, and I asked her if she had a key or anything because you were our friend. She didn't believe us until we convinced her. But she told me where you kept the spare hidden so we decided to come in and surprise you...Surprise!"

I laughed " How did you all get out of school."

" Ehh, it was easy. Told the professor I was sick with the stomach flu. Plus, Emmett only has one class tomorrow and Jazz is off for the day for some odd reason."

" Well, thanks for coming out, guys. It, uh, really means alot." I said, giving Alice a hug.

Emmett gave me one of his signature bear hugs and Jasper gave me a gentle hug.

" Soooo, nineteen! How does it feel."

" The same as eighteen." I answered truthfully.

Alice let out a small giggle, sounding like a tween at a Hannah Montana concert. I looked over at the end table by the couch, seeing a stack of presents from them. On the counter was a cake, actually, two smaller cakes.

That was odd, Edward and I always shared one cake. But this year I'd actually made him a cake. Last night I'd made him a red velvet with cream cheese frosting cake because it was his favorite besides chocolate.

" Well, make yourselfs at home. If you don't mind I think I am going to take my girlfriend to her bedroom."

Alice cringed " Ew, no. And just to let you know, I am crashing here with Bella, and the guys are going with you back to your apartment."

" Um...Bella and I are ditching tomorrow, so I was going to stay over..."

" NO! You can't."

" Alice, please. Just for tonight since it's our Birthday. Your staying for the weekend right?"

She huffed " Yeah."

" Well, we can have a girls night tomorrow and the day after if you want. But for tonight can we all just keep together. I have comforters and blankets. And the rug in here is pretty nice..."

" Fine, fine...But Jasper and I call the couch!" she shouted.

" Aw man...I'm on the floor? Can I sleep with you two in the bed?"

Edward shook his head " No, sorry man. But you can sleep on the side of the bed if you really want to be in there."

" No thanks. I do not want to hear any of your late night activities."

" We aren't going to have sex with you guys here! We don't even-"

I slapped his chest to stop him from speaking anymore. He stopped talking and looked down at me with a sheepish smile, I kissed his lips sweetly and pulled back before we got carried away infront of our friends.

" Soo. I say we go shopping, any nice malls around here!"

I rolled my eyes " Let's save that for tomorrow. But are you guys hungry?"

" Starved! Oh, Bella, got any of that delicious steak and kidney pie?" Emmett asked.

I looked at him skeptically " How do you know..."

" Oh, I stopped by to say hello to ye ol' chief the other day. Renee made it, and I was nervous about the kidney part, but it was fan-fucking-tastic! She says you make it the best."

" I guess so... I could make it, but I don't know if anybody else likes it."

Alice and Jasper shook their heads vigorously, Jasper making fake gag noises like a child.

" Well, how about I make that, and then maybe I could just cook up some regular steaks for the others."

They all seemed to like that idea so I decided to go with it.

" Alice, why don't we head to the grocery store and leave the guys."

She beamed at me and grabbed her coach bag from the couch. She kissed Jasper quickly on the lips and grabbed my hand, tugging me away from Edward. I grabbed my car keys and bag, shutting the door as she tugged me forward.

I knew I was in for it, even when it was only taking her to the grocery store.

" Adobo? We don't have this in our grocery store."

I laughed " It's really good. Edward puts it on everything."

" Speaking of. How are things going with you guys."

" Great." I smiled " Things are going really well. I love him so much I don't know what I would do if things changed."

She stopped walking and looked at me " You love him. Like love him?"

" Alice, I've loved him since I was like sixteen. He knows, I tell him. I told him only to tell me when he feels it, because I don't want him to say it just because I do."

" Yeah, that would be kind of shitty if he was just saying it because you did."

I looked through the steaks, having Alice help me pick them out. Edward, Emmett and I were going to eat the pie, and Alice and Jasper were going to have the steaks. After picking out some nice steaks, I got the ingredients for the steak and kidney pie.

Alice was having fun in her new surroundings, bouncing through aisle's and picking up different things. Soon we were in line, checking everything out and heading back to my apartment after loading the bags into my truck.

" I haven't spoke to Rosalie since the end of July when you guys were there." she said.

I glanced over at her " I'm sorry, Al. I mean you really don't have any girlfriends back home do you?"

She shook her head " No, but we talk on the phone alot. Jeez, Bells, I have no idea what I would do without you."

" Same to you. I mean, I can't talk about Edward to Edward."

Alice giggled " No, and same with Jazz."

When we got to the building, we walked up the steps and I opened the front door. As we jogged up the steps to my apartment door, I could hear some swearing, and I smelt something burning. I opened the door and stepped through, panic wafting through my body by the burning smell.

" Bella, what is that god awful burning smell?" Alice asked, crinkling her nose up in discust

I went into the kitchen and saw the guys huddled up around the oven, smoke was steaming out of it thickly.

" Um, Edward, what were you boys doing?"

" Emmett wanted to make brownies, and after making the mix, I asked him to put it in the oven, and he dumped half of it out of the oven and on the bottom, so since it was already preheated, it started to burn and we are trying to scrap it off because it's starting to smoke and if the fire alarm goes off, the station is immediatly alerted and they come straight here."

" Okay, okay. Well the oven is off, so keep scraping. Here, I'll take the racks out."

I leaned over with an oven mit on my hand, planning to take the three racks out of the oven so it would be easier. Apparently I must have been giving a show because Edward was not appeased by Emmett's antics.

" Emmett!" Edward yelled in a scolding tone " Stop staring at my girls chest for fucks sake."

" Sorry, dude. But it's like...Right there."

I put the racks on the counter and looked at Emmett.

" Since your acting inappropriatly, and this was your idea; you can clean up my oven." I stated, handing him a sponge and some easy-off spray for ovens. He grumbled something under his breath and got to working.

Edward wrapped his arms around my waist " Only I can look at you like that." he whispered in my ear.

" Of course, love."

He pressed his lips against mine and slowly dragged me down the hall towards my bedroom. I leaned my back against the wall and kissed him languidly. He tilted his head and put a hand on the back of my head, tangling his hand in my hair.

" Alone, finally."

I moaned quietly against his lips in happy agreement. Edward broke the kiss and trailed his lips down my neck, over my collarbone and by my neck again. I felt him suck on my neck right under my ear, also known as: my weak spot that made me putty in his hands. Just one touch sent me melting.

" Edward! Bella!"

He sighed against my neck and pulled away, kissing the tip of my nose gently.

" Were coming!" I answered.

" I love our friends, but I really just wanted it to be us this weekend. I wanted to spoil you." Edward whispered.

" I know. Look, next weekend you have Sunday off, so I will beg Irina or Eleazar to take my hours. We can go out, have fun, eat dinner and just spend time together. I promise, okay?"

" Alright."

" I love you." I said quietly.

" I know." he answered, kissing my lips chastely.

This was going to be one interesting night.

I really was asking for it, getting completely soaked as Edward took the moveable shower head and sprayed me with it, everyone literally on the floor laughing. It all started innocently.

Since the steak and kidney pie didn't need a side, but I had to make something else for Jasper and Alice who were having steaks, I decided to make some pasta. I made the linguine noodles and prepared a light pasta.

We ate and everything seemed to be going great, but Edward saw that there was still a little bit of pasta left in the pot full of water that was now cold. He tossed a noodle at me, so I sprayed him with water as I was cleaning dishes. Then he did it back and I was pissed off.

I grabbed the big pot and jerked it to the side, getting Edward completely soaked with the pot of water and few noodles that had been absently floating around inside on it. Alice gasped loudly and Emmett was basically on the floor laughing.

Suddenly, Edward grabbed me, throwing me over his shoulder and ran to the bathroom. He fought me into the bathtub and turned the freezing cold water on, holding me down as he sprayed me down.

I fought against him, pushing with my hands on his chest. I spit the water in my mouth in his face.

" Get him, Bella!"

I sprayed him right in his face, all of his bronze hair flopped down over his forehead.

" Happy Birthday!" I teased as he grabbed the handle to the shower head.

" I give up, I give up. You are relentless." he growled.

He turned it off and I huffed, looking down at my shirt. Of course I'd picked a nice white shirt, that was kind of lace looking down the middle, my padded blue bra was right there and very visable. Edward's button up was soaked, as were both of our jeans.

Jasper tossed us both a towel and I wrung my hair out. As I was stepping out of the tub, I slipped backwards. Emmett grabbed my arm before I went crashing down, but he dropped it upon feeling it being wet.

" Your all wet!"

" No kidding, captain obvious."

" Come on, my darling." Edward sighed, picking me up in his arms and running for my bedroom.

" Hey! No funny business."

" There's no door to the bedroom, so nobody look!"

I laughed as Edward set me down. He had a few articles of clothing here because he always slept over and need something. I had a pair of his jeans, a few pairs of pajama pants and a few button downs and wife beaters, along with a few pairs of boxers and socks. I tossed him a pair of sleep pants and a wife beater, along with socks and a pair of boxers, and grabbed my clothes, deciding the get into my pajama's, too. But my underwear and bra were totally soaked.

" Um, I am going to the bathroom to change so..."

" You can stay, Bella. I won't stare at you." he assured me lightly.

With a sigh I grabbed the hem of my top, slipping it over my head and letting it hit the ground with a small smack. I shimmied out of my jeans and threw them by my shirt, then used the towel to dry off more. Looking over at Edward just to make sure he wasn't looking, I slipped off my panties and shuffled into another pair, then put a pair of plaid flannel pajama pants on.

When I took my bra off, I turned with my back towards him. I didn't bother to put on another one because I had grabbed a tanktop, which had on built in, even though it wasn't the most supportive. I slipped it over my head and ajdusted it for a moment.

" Done."

" Yeah, just admiring the view."

I turned around and glared at him.

" I didn't see anything, not that I would mind..."

" Hey, your the one that put up the boundries. I would not mind doing more."

" Isabella Marie."

I stepped forward and wrapped my arms around his neck. " I'm not innocent, Edward. We both know that." I said, kissing his lips.

He threw himself into the kiss, pushing against my body and licking and biting my neck before trailing back up to kiss my lips. His hand grasped the back of my neck and the other gripped my hip tightly.

" Ew, that was gross. And so is that." I heard Alice say, coming into the room wearing a pair of pink pajama pants, a white tanktop and fluffy pink slippers. I released Edward and wrapped my arms around his waist instead.

" What's gross?"

" The thing you said about not being innocent. That's gross, and the talk about 'doing more'."

" Alice! Stop listening."

" Kinda hard not to!"

I rolled my eyes and stepped away from Edward, heading to the kitchen. There was alot of water to soak up so we got to work with the towels. When we finished, I had a basket full of wet towels that I put in the washing machine outside.

Edward and I dug through the small hall closet for some pillows and comforters. Both of us had ditched our old blankets, and I let him store his old two bedding sets in here, along with mine. We handed out the stuff, giving Emmett a few spares so he would be more comfortable on the ground.

Alice made her little couch bed for her and Jasper to sleep on, which was really funny with how neat she was setting it all up.

" Okay, now is time for cake and gifts. Come along now."

We sat on the floor in the living room, sighing at all the gifts that were being shoved in our direction.

Alice, of course, got me some clothes. She got me a gorgeous pair of black leather boots, which were alot better looking then the ones I had now because the heel was getting messed up for the oddest reason. She got me a very pretty cream colored sweater that was v-neck from both her and Jasper. Emmett got me a charm for my bracelet that Rosalie had gotten me, even though we weren't on best terms, I wore it anyways. I thanked him and gave him a hug.

Edward had gotten a little more thought out gifts, because that boy was so damn hard to shop for. My gift for him had been a watch in stainless steel with silver and black dial, black rubber strap and fold-over clasp. It was a damn nice and expensive watch so I hoped that he would like it.

He stood up a left the apartment, saying that he had to leave and get my gift. We waited and waited until he opened the door, holding a box that was probably fifty by thirty or so inchs long. He set it infront of me, a bow ontop of it.

" Happy Birthday."

" Edward!" I whined " Your present always makes mine look like complete shit."

" No it doesn't. I love whatever you give me. Even if it's just a jar of mud."

I handed him his gift and he started ripping it. With a sigh I ripped off the paper to my gift.

A flat screen television, fourty six inch. I gaped at it.

" It's for your bedroom, so you can watch at night in bed. You said awhile ago that you hated falling asleep on the couch when you stayed up to watch a show, then your back hurt. I found a solution. The DirecTv guy is going to come out with a box to install it for you on Sunday."

He opened up his box and smiled widely.

" I think my gift is shit compared to yours. Geez, this must of cost a fortune."

" That doesn't matter. I got it because I knew you would like it, or hoped you would."

" I love it, Bella." he said, clasping it on his wrist.

I leaned up and stole a quick kiss, but he pulled away. " Hold on, I got one more."

I dug into his pocket and a produced a box similar to his, but smaller. It was the Tiffany blue color. I heard Alice say ' Aw, he got her jewelery, too! '. He handed it to me.

When I opened the box, I heard loud gasps. There was a diamond ring, both sapphire and reuglar diamonds in the band. I froze just for a moment before Edward chuckled.

" Before you all have a fucking heart attack, it's not an engagement ring. I think we still have a long way until that one. But it's just a ring to tell you that I am getting closer to loving you, and I am so happy that we are together..."

" Damn that was the sweetest thing!"

I put it on my second to last finger on my right hand, which was basically my wedding ring finger on the opposite hand. Everyone around us scrambled away, probably to give us some privacy. Edward pulled me into his lap and I rested my head on his shoulder, tears streaming down my face.

" I didn't mean to make you cry." he said quietly, winding his arms around my waist.

" They are good tears." I clarified.

" Do you like it?"

" I love it, Edward. Thank you so much."

He lifted my hand up and kissed my knuckles softly. I brushed his damp hair away from his face and resumed our kiss from where it was interrupted before. We stayed in eachother embrace for awhile until we decided to breathe and let the others come back.

" Come on guys, let's have cake!" I shouted.

They all came back into the room and we shuffled into the kitchen.

" I actually made a cake for Edward, so he get's to blow out two cakes." I stated.

Alice laughed and I went to the fridge to retrieve the cake I'd made yesterday night.

" We can blow out this one together." he stated, putting it in the middle of our cakes.

Mine was the same as Edward's, because really we both only liked chocolate or red velvet, which was his favorite. All three of the cakes had twenty candles, one being for good luck. Alice was holding a video camera in her hands, ready to record.

" Okay...GO!"

" Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday dear Edward and Bella! Happy Birthday to you! Make a wish and blow out the candles!"

I'd already gotten my wish, my wish was for Edward. So, I wished for everything to go smooth when it comes to my relationships with family, friends and Edward. I blew out my candles and Edward and I leaned over the middle cake and blew it out together.

They all three clapped and cheered. Emmett put the lights back on and we cut the cake, Edward taking a rather large piece of the red velvet. I cut everyone else a slice of their desired choice, and we took it to the family room because we were going to watch a few movies before bed.

As we were settling down on the floor, I heard a knock on the door. I set my cake down and Alice groaned in annoyance. Edward released me from his hold and I got up to answer whoever was there.

" I hate interruptions."

I went to the door and unlocked the deadbolt and then the lock. When I opened the door, I was truly shocked as to who was behind it.
