Welcome back my precious readers! We will pick back up where we left off last chapter. Sorry if it seems like it took me a while to get this out to you, but I was working on another story of mine, plus we lost power and I got a virus on my computer and I had to ask my sister to beta for me because my other beta is busy with school. It's been hectic, lol. But here we are now. I'm going with Edward at first and finish with Bella...

CHAPTER 11

"The list is blank. Why?" I asked feeling some concern.

Normally you give a woman a list and she will write down things. Hell Makenna basically let me do anything I wanted to her. Her reply to my list was simple and she wrote it in big red letters, do me Edward. It was all the motivation I needed.

But Bella, she was quite the opposite of any female I had pursued. She clearly wanted me, but in the same tone, she was afraid of giving in to me. I would definitely need to help her out with that.

"I didn't know what a lot of the stuff was and to be honest, I don't think I want to know." She looked at me with apparent nerves

"I assure you Ms. Swan, nothing I do would ever hurt you in a bad way. Just let me explain some of it to you and maybe you will change your mind." I sat back evaluating her.

"We need to sort other things out first before I even consider anything you have to offer." She was trying to sound in control. That was definitely a turn on for me.

"Well please, let's have it then." I took a sip of my wine.

"This morning in your office, I mean, how many times have you done that?" Her curiosity was peaking more than I liked.

"Done what exactly?" I asked in amused tone.

Her face flamed red and I must admit, I imagined other parts of her creamy body the same shade.

"Had a girl up against your office door?" Her embarrassment was too entertaining.

"I have actually never brought a woman to my office. At least not someone I was having sexual relations with." I smirked at her.

If I didn't think she could go any redder, I was definitely mistaken.

"How many subs have you had?" She grabbed her wine glass downing what was left in it.

I leaned in and poured more wine in her glass. I figured she needed the liquid courage. I wanted her to speak her mind. I needed to know all her fears. I didn't want to trick her into being with me. I wanted her to want it too.

"I have had a few." I smiled at her.

"What's a few Edward?" she asked in an impatient tone.

"Why does it matter?" I challenged her.

"Because I told you how many people I have slept with, at least, you could do the same." She took another sip of her wine.

Before I could answer her question, Tyler came back with our dinner. He placed each plate in front of us. He asked if we needed anything and I asked for another bottle of wine.

Once he was out of view I picked up my fork and knife and cut off a piece of the chicken. It tasted divine and I chewed it before answering Bella's question.

"Well Bella, considering you have only had sex with one man your whole life, it's not much of a comparison. The question you should be asking isn't how many subs I've had, but how long I've been a dom." I took another bite of my chicken.

I watched her contemplate it in her head as she ate her food. After thinking it through, she kept opening her mouth, then closing it.

"How long have you been a dom then Edward?" She looked so cute when she was frustrated.

"Since I was 21, so I guess that would be seven years." I grinned at her.

"What made you choose to be a dom?" She eyed me while shoving more food in her mouth.

I twirled the wine around in the glass debating my answer.

"I dated someone in college who was experienced in it. I liked it and I wanted to learn how to be like her." I said simply

"You were a submissive?" She exclaimed with her eyes nearly bulging from her face.

"I was never a real true sub. We like to call it a power exchange. She trained me to be a dom while I played the role of a sub." I replied with an indulgent smile.

"So what happened once you were trained? Did she let you be the dom and her the sub or however it works?" She nibbled on a piece of bread.

"Once I learned enough from her about the lifestyle and felt I was able to try it on my own, the contract ended." I stuck a fork full of food into my mouth.

"The contract ended, what does that mean?" She looked at me with skeptical eyes.

"We had a written agreement of how long we would, let's say, play together. Once that time frame was up, we parted ways."

"It was that easy for you? I mean, didn't you have feelings for her? Was it that simple just to walk away?" her voice was shaky.

"Bella, having a sub is not the same as having a girlfriend. It's a limited relationship. We only play certain times of the week, mostly weekends. It's about getting pleasure from each other, not about falling in love." I looked at her to see how my answer must have affected her.

"You didn't answer the question Edward." she mumbled.

"I cared for her. She taught me a lot. But she had other priorities in her real life that didn't include me." I finished eating the rest of my food.

"So you did have feelings for her? Like were you in love with her?" Bella asked as she took another long gulp of her wine.

"I met her when I was 18 years old Bella. She was older, more experienced in things, so maybe at the time I thought I loved her, but in love, no. I've never been in love with anyone." I wanted to change the direction of this conversation.

Talking about my past wasn't something I was strongly agreeable to right now. I wanted to focus on the present and that was getting Bella in my bed.

"So have you ever collared a sub?" her big brown eyes looking deeply at me.

"Never collared anyone either." I was finally finished with my meal.

"Is there anything else you want to know?" I wanted to get back on track.

"How long do you normally have a submissive for? I mean, when was the last time you had a sub?" She bit on her lip.

God if that wasn't the most alluring thing.

"I normally have a sub for about three months. My last contract ended two weeks ago." I wiped the corners of my mouth with my napkin.

"Two weeks ago?" she almost spit her wine all over the table.

"Does that bother you?" I asked.

"Of course it does! I mean how many girls do you go through and how quickly do you pick up a new one?" her voice rising slightly.

"First, bring your volume down a few notches. She wasn't my sub very long and it wasn't working out, so we ended the contract. I normally get a new sub after I have dismissed one about a week or two later." I shrugged

"Edward, don't you think that's a bit much?" she asked

"Well it all depends on how long I keep them." I was ready to get the check and go somewhere else.

She looked as if she was calculating something in her head. Her face suddenly looked worried.

"You have at least 4 subs a year. God knows maybe more." her voice accusing.

"I told you, it's not like having a girlfriend." I sipped the last of my wine.

"I think I've lost my appetite." She shoved herself away from the table and stood up.

I stood up as well.

"Where are you going?" I asked her.

"I need to use the ladies room. Then I would like to go home." she said walking toward the rest room.

I waved Tyler over and handed him a hundred dollar bill for his tip. I didn't have to pay for the food, it was on the house courtesy of Jasper. I pulled out my phone and texted Garrett to retrieve me from Bella's apartment. I got our jackets and waited by the bathroom for her to come out.

She came walking out with a flustered expression on her face. I handed her the jacket and gestured toward the front. Dinner didn't go exactly as I planned, but I still had hope the night would end well. We waited in silence for the valet to get her car. She swayed on her heels back and forth. I assumed this was a nervous habit.

"Are you alright?" I asked.

"I'm fine." she replied looking straight ahead.

"Would you like to go for a drive before I take you home?" I asked hoping she would agree

"I really just want to go home Edward." She still wouldn't look at me.

"Okay." was all I could come up with.

The car finally arrived and I helped her into her seat. We drove in silence once more. When we arrived at her apartment I waited for her to say something, anything. Since I figured that wasn't going to happen yet, I took the initiative to speak.

"What are you thinking?" I asked leaning over to get a better look at her face.

"I'm thinking how to say this to you without insulting you." She rubbed her face with her hands.

"What could you possibly say that would insult me?" I smirked at her

That's when she turned and looked at me, a mix of emotions playing on her beautiful face. Her eyes looked down. I put my finger under her chin so our eyes could meet.

"I can't be your sub Edward. I'm not that girl. What happens when you get bored of me? You will just send me away and think nothing of it. I'm the type of girl. I like someone who will want more than just my body. Plus I like my job. I don't want to lose it." Her eyes were so sad

"If you agreed to be my sub Bella, I would not allow it to affect our professional relationship. I would like to get to know you in other ways." I tried to sound reassuring

"I want a boyfriend type, not a playmate. I am more than sure you would be the best damn playmate ever but it wouldn't be enough for me." she said softly

"I don't do girlfriends Bella, I never did. I'm sorry." I didn't really know what to say

"Will…will me not being your sub, does that mean you are going to fire me?" her eyes glazing over with tears.

She was such a sweet and enticing young woman, I wasn't even thinking about how it would affect her. I didn't want her to think I was going to just use her and then destroy her career. No, I would never be that heartless.

"Of course not Bella, you deserve the job you have." I smiled again to help ease the tension building in the car

"I'm sorry Edward, I have to decline. I also have a request. Would it be possible for me to get an office on another floor? I mean it just would be kind of awkward seeing you all the time, after this." her face giving her away.

I will admit that I felt a bit insulted. She was right, she was trying not to do that very thing and she had. But I was a respectful man and I would bid her this.

"If that's what you want. I could set you up in the operation unit. I think they could use someone like you down there." I gave my best fake smile.

I honestly didn't want her to go to another floor. Hell I made up a position just to have her closer to me. But she was just a girl and there were many of them I could replace her with. I realize I wouldn't fight her on this.

"Thanks. That would great." she gave a small smile.

She opened her car door and I got out and walked to her side. She looked up at me with pure amazement on her face.

I gave her my best smile and rubbed my hands across her rosy cheeks. She instinctively leaned into my touch. I moved in for a kiss and made sure it was on that would curl her toes. She grabbed onto my face and pulled me into her. I swear it was like we were eating each other's faces off.

I moved away quickly and examined her face. She looked hypnotized and I knew I did what I aimed to do. She was a definite goner.

"Here are your car keys." I handed over her keys

She came out of her trance and took them from my hand. I gave her one last smile and walked across the street where Garrett had been parked. I didn't honestly notice him there until I turned my head. But I figured this was my perfect exit route.

She gave me a small wave as she climbed the stairs of her apartment. I waited until she was in the door before getting into the car.

"Let's go." I ordered Garrett once I was inside.

I sat back in my seat and went over the nights events in my head. This so didn't go the way I planned. I had to regroup. We drove the rest of the way home in silence.

(Bella)

It had been two weeks since I told Edward I couldn't be his sub. He took it better than I expected. Actually he took it too fucking good. I was so frustrated at how calm he acted. It was like he didn't even care. Why was I stressing over this? It's not like it matters. I'm sure he moved on to the next girl who probably was willing to be everything he wanted her to be. Why couldn't I be that?

I could have tried to just have fun with him for a little while and be grateful someone of his status wanted me. What am I saying? I'm an amazing person, he is the one who needs to be grateful he got a chance to taste me. Lord I need to stop this now!

I was completely obsessed with Edward. There was no way around it. I tried my best to fight it, but the more I did, the less it seemed to do anything. Even being on a whole other floor, I couldn't get him out of my head. Maybe I need to give back the car? Yeah right. Then I would have to take the bus every morning.

This new position was a little less intriguing than working upstairs with the big boys, but at least it didn't mean seeing him all the time. It wasn't that glamorous, but it was busy work for sure. It paid pretty well, so who was I to complain? He did what I asked him to do, so why am I so miserable?

I know why because I want to be able to see him hovering over me all the time. It was nice, I will have to admit. Every time I turned a corner, he was there. I missed seeing him.

But in the last two weeks I hadn't seen a glimpse of him. I thought maybe he would miss me too. That he would make up some phony excuse to come to this floor. Not that he had to. It was his company so who would question him coming here?

However Alec, that would be one of the project leaders, mentioned how Cullen never comes down here. I sighed. I needed to get my work done. Weirdly enough, with my new hobby of mentally stalking Edward, I was very productive. Maybe if I was doing a great job he would pick up on it and pay a visit.

I dragged myself away from my desk for lunch. I never thought I would dread going to lunch, but it seemed I did. Leah sat with us now. I actually was finding out she was a really nice person. She barely ever talked about working for Edward. I was grateful for that.

I made my way to the lunch line grabbing a sandwich and a soda. As I went to approach the table I was stopped dead in my tracks. There he was in all his sex god glory. He had on a white button down shirt with no tie and the sleeves were rolled up. His slacks were a dark black and he had on those shiny shoes I loved so much. His hair was disarray, like someone just grabbed onto it. I wanted to grab on to it. It was the first time I had seen him in two weeks.

I barely noticed Emmett walking beside him. They were deep in their conversation. Edward looked so carefree laughing at whatever Emmett was telling him. He hadn't seen me yet and I was hoping to get away before he did. I wasn't sure what would happen when we finally did see each other. Would he notice me and talk to me? Or would be blow me off? I figured I could try to run out before he saw me, but that was unlikely considering he was in the path of the entrance.

I did my best to make it to my table before he noticed me. I put my head down while I carried my tray in the direction of the table. Kate and Emily were already seated. Bree was on the lunch line. I quickly made it to my seat and placed the tray on the table.

I unwrapped my sandwich while the girls chatted idly amongst themselves. I watched Edward from the corner of my eye as he made his way through the lunch line. I wondered why he didn't call ahead and have it waiting for him. Was it normal for a CEO to have lunch with his employees? I didn't know.

He was oblivious to my presence. They got their lunch and exited out without a single glance back. It hurt like hell. I mean we only knew each other a week before all this so why did I care so much? There was some type of connection between us that I couldn't quite place. I needed to find a way to distract myself.

After a very uneventful lunch, I went back to work. I spent the afternoon going over transcripts for some unknown company. It was all very boring busy work. I decided around 2:30pm that I needed some fresh air. So I got on the elevator and pushed it to go down. I wasn't really paying too much attention to the numbers or to the fact that I was indeed going up.

Once the bell dinged I went to get off and realized I was on the top floor, I was on Edward's floor. With my luck, he was standing by Leah's desk talking to some guy. They were smiling and laughing. When they heard the door open, both of them looked into my direction.

When Edward looked at me the happy look on his face went to one of surprise. For some reason it made blush. I assumed the other guy saw Edward's expression and turned to look to see what happened.

Once I saw the other guys face, I was immediately taken aback. He was very handsome. Not as handsome as Edward, but damn near close to. He had sandy blond hair and some bright blue eyes. They reminded me of Rose's eyes. He was about Edward's height and build. I wondered who he was. How did I never notice him before if he worked on this level?

I finally got myself together and pushed the close door button, but it wasn't fast enough because I heard Edward call my name. I put my hand in the door to stop it from shutting and he smiled at me. God he was so damn sexy.

"Bella, come here for a minute. I would like you to meet someone." He waved me over to where he was standing.

I nodded to let him know I would and I moved to his side. He smelled so good I wanted to rip his clothes off. I had to stop myself mentally to recalculate what I had on. I hope I looked descent. Yes today I had on my navy skirt with a light blue blouse. It was appropriate and professional

"I'd like you to meet Reilly Biers. He is my operation manager for our Chicago location." Edward gave me that smile that always melted my insides.

"Nice to meet you Reilly, I'm Bella." I stuck my hand out for him to shake.

"It's a pleasure Bella. I've heard great things about you from both Edward and Emmett." his smile was like pure sunshine.

"Really?" I asked a little surprised.

"Of course, Edward knows how to pick a good seed. That is why he is a rich bastard." he smiled smacking Edward on the back.

I was a little shocked how comfortable the two of them were acting. It was nice to see Edward happy though. His smile did wonders for the universe.

"Reilly here was my college roommate. We have been great friends for a long time." Edward said patting Reilly's shoulder

"Well that's great that you can work together. I was actually heading down stairs. The stupid elevator went up for some reason. Reilly it was nice to meet you. Edward, have a good day." I smiled and walked over to the elevator.

"Bella wait, I was about to leave. I will ride down with you." Reilly called from behind.

"Okay sure." I smiled at him.

However, the look of displeasure was clear on Edward's face. I wonder what that was all about?

They said their goodbyes, but even when Reilly walked toward me Edward didn't move. He just stared with this glare and I had a good feeling it wasn't meant for me. The elevator opened and we both got on. I watched Edward's face disappear through the crack of the door.

I turned to look at Reilly and he smiled brightly at me. No words were spoken all the way down. He held the door for me when we walked off and out to the front of the building. I took a seat on the bench in the front and he stood looking down at me.

"Do you mind if I sit with you for a minute?" Reilly asked.

"Sure help yourself." I gave back a small laugh.

"Edward says you haven't lived in Seattle long. Where are you from originally?" he asked sweetly.

"It seems I have been the topic of discussion today haven't I?" I joked with him.

"Well it wasn't anything bad, I can assure you. I was impressed with how we obtained our latest company. When Edward told me it was you and Embry, I was thoroughly impressed. I wanted to meet this amazing Bella for myself." he gave me a genuine smile

I blushed. Edward thought I was amazing. He was telling people about me! Why was this making me so excited? It shouldn't be. It was a professional compliment.

"How long will you be in Seattle? By the way I'm from Phoenix." I nodded

"Well that is a definite climate change, isn't it?" he laughed. I must say the sound was very pleasing to my ears

"My best friend lives here and bugged me for a really long time to live with her, so here I am." I said

"Interesting, I will be in Seattle for a while. I'm trying to clean up some issues Edward's acquired with one of the companies he bought. If I am not being too forward, would you like to grab lunch or even dinner some time while I am here?" his expression seemed hopeful.

I wasn't sure how I felt about that. My chances with Edward weren't going to change and I needed to let that crush go. Reilly might be different, but what if they are into the same things? Edward did mention he learned all this dom stuff in college, but maybe Reilly wasn't like that.

"I don't know." I said softly

"I promise it will be a polite lunch or dinner, whatever you prefer. I am a complete gentleman, I swear!" He chuckled

I had to smile at his effort. He was trying to be charming. I hadn't dated since Jake and the thing with Edward, well, it was over.

"Sure, that would be fine."

"Great, do you have a cell phone? I can give you my number and you can call me so we can set something up." he asked a little too eager.

I pulled my phone out of my pocket and handed it to him. He programmed his number into my cell and I did the same with his. We parted ways and I went back inside. Reilly promised to call me sometime this week, but I wasn't holding my breath.

He was very attractive, but he was a good friend of Edward's and that meant he might be into the same stuff Edward was. I wasn't ready for that kind of torture so quickly. I made my way to my office and to my surprise I found Edward sitting at my desk with his feet propped up.

He gave me a smirk and swayed back and forth on the rolling chair.

"Well Mr. Cullen, I heard a rumor you never frequent this floor." I said staring down at him with my hands on my hips

"I can frequent whatever floor I wish, it's my company." he smirked.

"What can I do for you?" I asked feeling impatient, but happy at the same time.

I was going through withdrawal not seeing him and now it had been three times today. I couldn't get enough.

"I just wanted to inform you about the Halloween party I'm hosting. I hope you will come. It's always a lot of fun. You get to dress up and so forth." he said

"I thought we discussed this already Edward, I can't do-" But he raised his hand to stop me from saying the next line.

"It's a company party Bella. All employees are invited. I just wasn't sure if you knew about it. I like to keep you in the loop." he smiled at me.

How do you argue with that logic? You don't that's how. I just sighed in defeat.

"I heard about it, but thanks for letting me know personally. Will you be bringing a date?" I blurted out.

I heard him chuckle. I looked at him and he was now standing up from the chair, moving to the side of the desk I was on. He looked at me for a moment before responding.

"Does it bother you if I do?" he asked quirking his eyebrow at me.

Yes it bothered me. It bothered me terribly, but I couldn't say that out right.

"It's really none of my business, so." I trailed off.

"Well then why did you ask?" he looked overly amused.

"I don't know." I sighed again.

"Are you bringing a date?" he asked me.

"I don't really like parties, so I may not even go." I said.

"You must come, I throw incredible parties." he grinned at me.

"I will let you know." I gave a smirk of my own.

"Please do." he said in a sexy voice.

"Reilly is nice by the way." I said trying to change the subject.

"Yes he is a great business man. I've known him a long time." .

"You mentioned earlier he is a college friend, does that mean..." I couldn't even ask him

"No Bella, he isn't a dom too, at least, not that I am aware of."

I blew out a sigh of relief. Now maybe I could actually like the guy. Edward eyed me oddly and I wasn't sure why.

"Do you like him?" Edward asked giving no emotion away.

"He seems like an okay guy, he gave me his number." I nodded.

Edward's face fell slightly. I wasn't sure exactly, but it was the same look he had when Reilly offered to ride down with me earlier.

"Are you going to call him?" Edward asked through gritted teeth.

"Does that bother you?" I countered back his own comment.

But unlike him, he actually gave an honest answer.

"Of course it bothers me." he said like it was the most obvious answer.

"Why?" I asked feeling confused.

He hadn't bothered to speak to me in two weeks. All of sudden he is acting jealous. Jealous? I just realized he was jealous. Oh this just got so exciting, I thought to myself.

"Really Bella, do I need to answer that?" he looked at me like I was an idiot.

"Are you jealous because he gave me his number or are you jealous because he might get to sleep with me and you won't?" I eyed him carefully.

He let out a dark laugh that kind of made me scared. He walked closer to me looking me dead in my face.

"Oh Isabella, he will never get that far, trust me." His smoldering eyes burned right through me.

"What is that supposed to mean?" I said breathless

"It means he is not going to have an opportunity to fuck you." he said with authority.

I gasped. God could he just stop being so fucking hot for one second. He stepped even closer to me. I stumbled back into the wall near my door. He gave me a devious smirk and leaned into my ear.

"You should have said yes." his voice low and husky.

But before I could reply, he was already gone. He had just walked away and out the door. The jerk walked away! I tried to regain my dignity before anyone came in. I flopped down into my chair and began finishing up some of the work I started earlier.

By the time 5:30pm came along, I was more than ready to leave. It was Tuesday night. I was meeting Rose for dinner at some cafe by her building. Since she only worked a few blocks away, it seemed I would just walk the distance. I told Seth I would come back for my car later. Rush hour was such a bitch in this city, so I figured Rose and I would make it back over here afterward.

I was sitting in Gusset's cafe waiting for Rose. She just texted me letting me know she was leaving her desk. I was checking my email on my phone when it began to vibrate. I looked to see I had a text message. I opened it up and it was from Reilly.

Hey Bella just wanted to tell you it was nice talking to you earlier. Hope we can make plans to see each other soon.

I smiled reading the message. I didn't expect him to contact me so soon or even at all. I just thought he was being polite. It was a nice diversion from thinking about Edward. I texted him back

It was nice talking to you too. How was your day?

"It was perfect since I got to meet you. Are you free for dinner tomorrow?

I smiled after reading what he wrote. He was already asking me out on a date. Then I remembered what Edward said earlier. He won't have the opportunity to fuck you. It finally sunk in, what he meant. He really thought he had that much power over me? Or was he just that confident that I wouldn't let it go that far.

I decided to text Reilly back and let him know I would love to have dinner with him. He said he was excited and he would call tomorrow with the details. I put down the phone just in time to see Rose approaching the table.

"Hey sorry I'm a little late. God the news never stops." She sighed taking the seat in front of me.

"It's okay, I didn't wait that long. So I guess hard day?" I laughed picking up the menu.

"Just another day in paradise." she rolled her eyes. "Did you order yet?" She asked picking up her menu.

"No I was waiting on you."

We sat at the cafe for about an hour. Rose broke down her day for me, telling how her boss was giving her a hard time on a story she had been working on. I hadn't mentioned the whole thing that went down with Edward.

After the night I told him I couldn't be his sub I simple told Rose I wasn't going to date him because I didn't want to ruin our professional relationship. She offered to beat his ass, but I politely declined on that.

We made our way back to Cullen Industries to retrieve my car. It was about 7:30pm. The sun was fading into the night as we approached the parking garage. Frank was in the security booth. He was the night guard. He handed me my keys. Rose and I made our way to my car and I nearly had a heart attack when I saw Edward leaning against my car.

"What the fuck Edward, you nearly gave me a damn stroke." I yelled at him.

His expression was twisted in a scowl. He looked pissed, but I didn't really care.

"I was leaving and noticed your car was still here. I went and asked security if they saw you and they said they didn't. I thought you got kidnapped or something. I had to check my security footage to make sure you didn't." He said in a very unpleasant tone.

"Well I'm perfectly fine, okay? Now you can go back to your busy life. I mean seriously, are you like this with all your employees?" I asked in my most sarcastic tone.

"I was just worried Bella, Next time, just tell someone where you are, please." his voice suddenly full of concern.

I could hear Rose snickering behind me. I turned and gave her a dirty look. She just shrugged with a smirk. I hit the button to unlock the doors and she got in. Edward still didn't move.

"Edward, can you move please so I can leave?" I had my hands on my hips.

He glared at me. "Promise you will tell someone next time."

I huffed. "I told Seth I would be back later."

He walked close to me and looked me in the eyes. His expression was serious, but soft.

"Your safety is very important to me. You have no idea what could happen to you." His voice was so soft.

"Don't worry about me, alright? It's not your job to protect me." I tried to soften my tone as well.

"Please drive carefully, I will see you tomorrow." He gave me one last look and walked away.

I watched him get into the back of his Rolls Royce. I sighed and climbed into my car.

I turned the car on and watched his in my rear view mirror. He hadn't pulled off yet. I assumed he was waiting for me to pull out first. I looked at Rose and she was still snickering in the passenger seat. I pulled the car out of the lot and Edward's soon followed.

"Why are you laughing?" I asked Rose feeling very annoyed.

"I think it was sweet of him to wait for you to come back. He cares about you." She smiled from her seat.

"I highly doubt that's it." I rolled my eyes at her.

"Sometimes you are very blind to what is in front of you. That man went out of his way for you, he likes you." she chimed.

Little did Rose know, he just wanted me for a play thing and I wasn't trying to be that. I wanted someone who would want more than sex, no matter how attractive he may be. I needed more than what Edward wanted to give.

"Rose, just drop it okay?" I said.

"Fine." She put her hands up in surrender

We drove the rest of the way home in silence.

Okay thank you all so much for reading, hopefully in the next few days my next chapter will have be beta'd and ready for you! Let me know what you think...
