I actually have had this chapter written for the last two weeks, but its taken forever for me to get someone ( my sister) to look over it for me. I already have 13 written also, just needs to be tweaked lol. I'm giving you this unbeta'ed. Once my sister has time to look it over, I will put the updated revision up here. Let me know what you think.

Chapter 12

"Rose do you think my hair looks okay?" I yelled out the bathroom door into the hallway.

"Give me a second to see." Rose yelled back.

I was trying to make my hair look presentable, which was always a challenge. I was going on my third date with Reilly tonight. We had spent a great deal of time together the last two weeks since we met.

He turned out to be an amazing guy. We even made plans to go to the company Halloween party together. Rose would be attending as well, but not by my invitation. That was something I never wanted to relive again.

Last week I was going over some numbers and something seemed off about the paper work. I questioned Alec about it, but he didn't have a clue. So I decided I would bring it up with Edward. When I made it to the 52nd floor Lea informed me Edward was not in, so my next best person would be Emmett.

I made my way to his office and the door was ajar, so I peeked my head in. How I wish I hadn't. I was blinded by the sight of my best friend straddling Emmett's lap. Both their faces froze in horror and I quickly made my way out of the office back to the elevator. I could hear Rose yelling my name.

"Earth to Bella?" She snapped her perfectly manicured fingers in front of my face.

I came back from the memory to see Rose standing in front of me.

"Sorry, I got lost for a minute." I blinked a couple times and resumed the assault on my hair.

"Give me the damn brush." Rose pulled my brush from my hand and raked it through my tangled mess.

"So where is he taking you tonight?" Rose asked while combing through my hair

"I'm not sure. He said it was a surprise." I sighed

"You two have been seeing a lot of each other. This is was like your sixth date?" Rose asked from behind me

"Its our third official date." I remarked

"Oh come on, he has lunch with you everyday, its like your 100th one by now." She giggled

"I don't count eating lunch with a co worker a date." I chimed in

"I call it a date, no matter if your at work or not. He seems to really like you." I saw her smile in the mirror

"Well I really like him. He's a nice guy." I smiled back

"I bet Edward is jealous as shit. Damn I would love to see that." She laughed

Oh yes Edward. He was dealing with me dating Reilly as well as a toothache. He made it clear more than once his disapproval of the situation. I didn't understand.

The day after my first date with Reilly, I was paid yet another visit by Mr. CEO.I was sitting at my desk typing a report into my computer when Edward materialized in the door way. He looked frustrated. He came in and slammed my office door closed. I jumped from the sound and looked up at him. I wasn't sure how to approach him. Did I mess up something important?

He looked at me with such a burning glare, I thought I might turn into flames.

"Is something wrong?" I asked unsure

"You're dating him?" He glared at me

"Dating who?" I asked not really thinking about it hard enough.

"Don't do dumb with Isabella. Reilly!" He spat

Oh he heard I had gone out with Reilly.

"It's none of your business Edward." I tried to concentrate back on the screen.

The air in my office was thick with tension. I really didn't understand why that bothered him so much. He began to pace the floor pulling on his oh fuck me hair. He finally stopped pacing after a few minutes and leaned his palms on my desk. He looked at me intensely.

"I don't like it." He stared at me

"Well that's too bad because I like him." I said feeling annoyed and turned on at the same time.

"He's not right for you." He said

"Oh and you are?" I glared at him

"I would be more fitting." He said still with the scary face

"So you're jealous?" I began to laugh

The humor of the situation was just too much. He was acting completely erratic. I felt like I was in high school.

"I'm not jealous. I just don't want you with him. Anyone else would be acceptable, except him." Edward said so matter of factly

"What is wrong with Reilly?" I asked feeling rather insulted

"I know him better than you do Bella, you don't know how he treats women. He will just dispose of you once he's had his fill."

"Oh you mean just like you." I retorted

He looked at me in surprise. He definitely didn't expect me to say that. He opened and closed his mouth a few times without saying a word. He looked down and then opened the door and disappeared. I hadn't seen much of him after that. I never bothered to tell Rose about his outburst, I didn't feel she needed that information.

"I'm sure Edward is fine with it Rose." I nodded my head

"There you look great! He won't know what hit him." She smiled smugly

She did a great job with my hair, it was swept to one side. It waved slightly and I loved it. I had on my leather jacket with a red shirt underneath and a pair of skinny jeans and heels. Rose insisted that's what I should wear, so here we are.

I heard the door bell ring and knew it was Reilly. I took a deep breath and flung open the front door. Reilly stood there looking absolutely handsome. He had on a tan jacket with a black tee under it. His jeans were dark and he paired it off with dress boots. His hair was perfectly combed.

He stood there with a huge smile on his face and lilies in his hand.

"You look beautiful Bella" He smiled at me kissing my cheek

"Thank you." I blushed

"Here these are for you." He handed me the flowers.

"They're perfect, thanks. Just let me put them in a vase and we can go." I smiled walking into the kitchen

Reilly stood in the door way and I grabbed my purse and said goodnight to Rose. Has we made our way down the steps Emmett was walking up.

"Hey Bells! You look hot!" Emmett nodded in approval

"Um thanks Em." I laughed feeling a little embarrassed.

"Hey Reilly." He nudged his chin at him.

"Hi Emmett."

"Well have a goodnight guys." Emmett smiled and made his way up the stairs.

I wondered for a moment if I should let him in, but the door opened as soon as he made it to the landing. Rose threw her arms around his neck and pulled him inside.

I smiled at Reilly and made my way to his car. He didn't hold the door for me. Edward would have. Once he got into his seat, he leaned over and kissed me on the lips. His kiss was nice and his lips soft, but nothing like kissing Edward. We drove off into the early Seattle evening.

"So where are we going?" I asked leaning over to look at him.

"I thought we could go to this gallery downtown. A friend of mine is exhibiting some art there tonight."

"I don't think I'm really dressed well enough for a gala."

"Its a casual thing Bella, don't worry, you look great." He grabbed my hand and gave it a light squeeze.

We chatted about nothing really all the way across town. We pulled up to a big brick building. I saw people walking into the big glass doors, assuming that was the gallery. Reilly pulled into a spot and got out of the car. He waited by his side for me to get out.

I stepped out and he lead me by the small of my back into the building. It was filled with artwork on all walls. People were scattered all around.

Reilly introduced me to his friend, who's work was on exhibit.

"Bella this is Peter. He is the celebrity of the evening." Reilly smiled brightly patting Peter's shoulder

"Pleasure to meet you Bella. Reilly here wouldn't shut up about you." Peter eyed Reilly playfully

"I hope nothing bad." I laughed

"All good, I swear." Reilly said playfully

"I hope you enjoy the exhibit Bella. Make sure Reilly buys some pieces." Peter patted Reilly's shoulder one last time and walked away.

"He seems nice." I said

"Oh yea he is great. Known him since I was in grad school. Would you like a drink?" Reilly offered

"Sure, that would be nice." I smiled at him

"What would you like? They have a bar." He said

"Some red wine would be perfect."

"Great, I will be right back." He kissed my cheek and walked off

I moved around a little bit admiring the different pieces of art. One specifically caught my eye. The name under it said the submissive. What a fitting title. Of course Edward came to my mind.

It was a painting of a girl on her knees with her hands bond behind her back. She was in a kneeling position. You couldn't see her face. I examined the picture for a few minutes. I felt a hand on the small of my back and figured it was Reilly returning with my drink. Then I felt his breath on my ear.

"Its a beautiful piece, isn't it?" The velvety voice sent shivers down my spine.

That smell of jasmine and fresh air. Nope, you couldn't mistake him for anyone else. Edward.

"Why do I feel like you are stalking me?" I said keeping my focus on the painting.

"I told you once before that you might just be right." I knew he was smirking at me without even seeing it.

His hand hadn't left my back and for some reason, I didn't want him to move it either.

"You know I'm on a date with Reilly." I said

"Hm, I could remedy that problem for you." His voice sounding husky vibrating in my ear

I will admit, his affect on me was unnerving. He turned me on by the simple sound of his voice.

"Its not a problem to me." I said smugly

I heard him chuckling then his hand was gone. I turned to look at him and my breath was taken away. God he looked amazing. His copper hair was all over the place and those green eyes just shined down at me. He had on a gray button down shirt with black dress pants and dark gray shoes. He looked so yummy.

Reilly was at his side then. Now I knew why he removed his hand. He stared between me and Edward before walking to my side and handed me my glass.

"Here you go my dear." Reilly kissed my cheek again

Edward shifted his feet, but no emotion evident on his perfect face.

"Thank you." I said feeling very uncomfortable

I didn't want to flaunt Reilly in Edward's face, even if I wanted him to be jealous, I wasn't that mean.

"Edward I didn't know you were coming tonight." Reilly said simply and placed a possessive arm around my waist, pulling me closer to him.

"Yes I was interested in seeing Pete's new pieces. I could always use a new one." Edward smiled at him.

"He will appreciate that. You are his most loyal customer." Reilly laughed

"Oh you know Peter too?" I questioned him

"Um yes, we all went to Dartmouth together." Edward nodded

"More college friends." I mumbled under my breath

"Yes, he is actually the one who painted this one you were admiring. Its a very alluring piece, don't you think Isabella?" Edward gave me a sexy stare

I had no idea if I should reply, but I knew what he was insinuating. The submissive, in her sub mode. Wait? If Peter drew this, then did that mean? NO! Has if he knew the light went off in my head, I turned to Edward and he just smiled at me. Fuck me, Peter was like him!

"Um, I.." I just took a large gulp of my wine and just about spit it out.

It was the most vile shit I ever tasted. What the hell was that stuff?

"Bella, are you okay?" Reilly asked with concern has he rubbed my shoulder

I saw Edward's jaw tighten and I regained my composure.

"Yes Reilly, I'm fine. The wine, its just awful." I said laughing with embarrassment

"Would you like me to get you something else?" He asked

"No, no its fine. Let me just get rid of this." I walked past both men and went toward where the bar was.

I just needed a quick minute. I looked back at them and they both were watching me. I turned away quickly and leaned on the bar for a moment. I felt someone touch my shoulder. I didn't understand men, why couldn't they just me do things myself.

"I said I was fine." I said as I turned, but was met with brown eyes filled with amusement.

"I would say you were more than just fine." Giggled the beautiful woman at my side.

"I'm so sorry, I thought you were.." She cut me off

"One of them?" She tilted her glass in the direction of Edward and Reilly.

"Yea." I breathed out

"Boys will be boys. I was much enjoying the display over there. Its a pity you walked away." She smirked while taking a sip from her glass

"Excuse me?" I asked feeling flustered.

"I was watching you with Edward and Reilly. Both seem very smitten with you, especially Edward." Her smile growing.

"You know them?" I asked feeling slightly awkward.

"Better than you could imagine." She raised her eyebrows for emphasis

"Oh I'm so rude, I'm Charlotte." She stuck her hand out for me to shake

"Bella." I said in reply

"Oh your thee Bella. Well its a pleasure to meet you." Her smile going even wider

"Oh my god, does everyone know who I am?" I put my head in my hands

"Not everyone. I'm Peter's wife. Reilly won't stop talking about you." She giggled

"Oh, wow its nice to meet you. Your husband is very talented." I beamed

"You have no idea." She took another sip of her drink.

"Edward mentioned they all went to college together." I said making conversation

"Mm, that's interesting." She quirked her eyes at me

"Why is that interesting?" I asked feeling confused

"You said Edward told you." She shrugged like it was no big deal

"Edward did tell me. So why would you find that even remotely fascinating?" I said not understanding

"Oh its nothing Bella, I'm just a little tipsy, don't mind me." She smirked

"Oh yes please pay no mind to her." Reilly chimed walking up to us.

He kissed Charlotte on the cheek and she rubbed his arm. He came to my side and wrapped his arm around my waist.

"I see you met my girl." Reilly said to Charlotte

My head jerked up instinctively. I felt a lump form in my throat. His girl? What did he mean by that? We only just started dating, I was nobody's property, that's why Edward wasn't with me. That made my heart deflat slightly.

"I've met Bella and she is just lovely." Charlotte winked at me.

I wasn't sure if she felt my uneasiness of his comment, but I needed to thank her for the save. I wasn't ready for titles in such a short time span. Reilly seemed great, but it was too soon to tell.

"Charlotte." Edward came out of no where

I looked at Charlotte and she was literally blushing. I wanted to ask her if she needed me to fan her off.

"Edward Cullen, how the hell are you?" She wrapped him in a hug

He smiled at me over her shoulder. Then they pulled apart.

"I'm well Charlotte, how are the kids?" He gave her his best smile

"They are getting big. AJ will be three in a few days. Danielle will be two in December." Charlotte glowed as she spoke of her kids

"Wow you have two kids, you look amazing." I said in awe

"Aw thank you. Believe me, when you have kids you will see how much energy they have. Chasing them keeps you in shape." She laughed

"Yes so does a lot of extreme exercise." Edward said with a sly smirk

That only made Charlotte blush even deeper.

"I feel like I'm intruding." Laughed Peter from behind

"Not at all." Edward said

"Are you trying to flirt with my wife again Cullen?" Peter gave Edward a joking stare

"But of course Pete." Edward winked

They both laughed. Peter wrapped his arms around Charlotte's waist and she leaned in to kiss his lips. I felt a little jealous. I admired them. They really seem to fit together and suddenly sadness washed over me. It reminded me of Jake. I hadn't really thought too much about it until now. Seeing this adorable couple made me miss that type of affection. I needed some fresh air.

"Um, excuse me for a few minutes. I just want to get some air." I wiggled out of Reilly's grip

"Do you want me to come?" Reilly asked with concern.

"No that's okay, I just want to be alone for a few minutes, okay?" I hope he wasn't upset with me.

"No problem, I will be here when you get back." He smiled at me and kissed my forehead.

I caught Edward's eyes at that moment. His face looked lost and I just wanted to reach out and wipe it off his face, but I knew that was not my place.

I walked away to go outside. Once I stepped into the Seattle night I felt the coolness surround me. I took a deep breath, letting the air hit my lungs. There was a bench next to the building and I took a seat on it. There was nobody else outside, but me. It was nice to get away from the tension inside.

I was staring down at the ground when I saw a pair of shiny gray shoes standing in front of me. I looked up to meet Edward's handsome face smiling down at me.

"I finally get you all alone." He chuckled and sat down beside me.

I rolled my eyes at him, but the smile never leaving my face.

"Are you okay?" He asked looking at me

"I'm fine Edward, don't concern yourself with me." I leaned back fiddling with the flap on my jacket

He took his hand and rubbed my cheek in soothing circles. My eyes looked up to his face. His eyes held this gaze of pure adoration. I didn't understand it, but I couldn't drop my eyes away.

Before I even realized what was happening he was placing those sweet soft lips on mine and my hands instantly grabbed at the back of his neck. We kissed for a few moments until I realized where we were and who I was supposed to be with.

I pulled away feeling flush and out of breath. Edward's expression matched mine I was sure.

"I can't do this. I'm with Reilly." I said

"He doesn't have any claim on you." His voice had a slight edge to it

"Neither do you." I said feeling taken back

"I have more than he does." Edward's eyes became suddenly dark

I stood up at that moment and he mirrored my movement.

"I need to go back inside." I tried to brush past him, but he grabbed my arm before I could.

"Stay with me Bella." His eyes pleading with me

"Let me go Edward." I eyed him then his hand

He dropped it in defeat and I walked back inside.

Once I stepped into the building, all I wanted to do was turn around and walk back out to where I just left Edward standing. I turned and pushed the door back open and ran back to where he was just seconds ago.

He was still in the same spot and I moved quickly to him pulling on his arm for him to turn. He swung around looking surprised. Without words I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him into a deep hot kiss. His hands were on my back digging into the jacket.

I really thought my head was going to explode from all the heat we were producing. I was pulling at his hair and tugging him into me and I couldn't get enough. I missed his lips on me and the fire he ignited deep in me.

We pulled away because we both needed some air. His eyes were blazing and my heart was racing. Without another word I walked back inside to where Reilly was waiting for me. He was in deep conversation with another man. I just stood by him without a word and let them chat.

A few minutes later I saw Edward walk back inside. He stared at me with a frustrated expression. I wasn't sure how I felt at the moment. I was with Reilly, yet I was just outside kissing another man, but not any other man, Edward.

"Reilly excuse me, but I think I'm ready to go home." I looked at him

"Are you feeling alright Bella?" He asked with those concerned eyes.

"I'm just a little tired, long day and all." I lied

"Sure, just let me tell Peter we are going. I will be right back." He rubbed my face and walked off

I felt guilty for cutting his evening short, but I had a lot to sort out in my head and being here was not the right place.

"I can drive you home, if you'd like." Edward said out of no where.

"God you need to stop doing that. Make noise or something." I said holding my chest

"I'm sorry Isabella, I didn't mean to scare you. We need to talk about what just happened outside." He gave me a pointed look.

"There's nothing to talk about. It was a mistake and I'm sorry. It won't happen again." I couldn't even look him in the face.

The truth was, I wanted to kiss him at this very moment. But I couldn't do that to Reilly. I needed to get up the strength right now and walk away from Edward. Has if Reilly couldn't have better timing he returned to my side.

"Ready to go?" He smiled at me

I looked between him and Edward. Edward was giving me this strange look that I couldn't quite place.

"Yes, I believe I am." I nodded my head at Edward and we walked away.

The ride to my apartment was quiet. I pecked Reilly on the lips quickly and told him I would see him tomorrow at work. I actually contemplated calling in sick. Would that be wrong?

The next day I say at my desk staring aimlessly at the computer screen. I had been in the office for two hours now and have yet to get any work done. All I could think about was last night and the kiss with Edward. I was starting to get mad as hell thinking about it. Who did Cullen think he was? I was on a date with someone else! His friend no less. What was his deal? He knew I didn't want the life he led, yet he kept distracting me with kisses and outbursts! Even if I did go back out and kiss him.

I pushed myself away from the desk and decided I was going to confront him. It was time I took a stand in this. I was letting him get away with too much and he needed to know his boundaries. I got on the elevator and made my to Edward's office. Leah was sitting at her desk.

"Is he in there?" I asked in an annoyed tone.

"Yes. Would you like me to tell him your here?" She asked a little taken back by my tone.

"Is he in there alone?" I asked not really caring if he was or wasn't.

"Yes, but he's on the phone." She looked at me uneasy

I nodded and moved toward his door.

"Bella you can't just go in there. He won't like that." She made a feeble attempt at trying to stop me.

I ignored her and shoved open Edward's door.

"Well you promised me a week ago that the problem would be fixed and it's still.." He stopped talking when he saw me bust through the door.

He looked frustrated and agitated at the same time.

"I'll call you back." He hung up the phone and stared at me.

"Well this is a surprise." He said standing up from his seat.

I looked at him and god did he look good. Well he looked good everyday, but especially right now. He had no tie with a black dress shirt with the sleeves shoved up. The top three buttons undone. and black dress pants. His hair was combed over nicely, but all I wanted to do was run my hands through it.

I walked over to where he was and pushed him back into his seat. I hovered over him.

"I can't believe you Cullen! What the fuck is your problem! Why do you think you can do or say anything you want and we all are supposed to just agree with it? I am not some play thing that is at your disposal whenever you feel like it. I was with Reilly last night and you made me feel like I was doing something bad by kissing you. The worst part was, I felt wrong for being with Reilly, not for kissing you." I just about yelled at him.

However the message I was trying to display, he wasn't getting. Just seconds ago he had that agitated expression and now the asshole was smirking at me in amusement. He leaned into his chair crossing his one leg. He held his chin with his hand and just stared at me!

"What the hell are you smirking at?" I screeched at him

He tried to remove the smirk from his face ,but was failing miserably.

"Do you know adorable you look when you are mad?" He gave me that crooked grin

My eyes grew wider and I just about ripped my hair out.

"You are so infuriating Edward!" I paced in front of him.

"Oh and you're not?" He laughed

I stopped moving and just looked at him. I tried to give him my best death glare, but it was failing because the amusement was still very clear. I stepped closer to his smirking face and went to hit him, but he grabbed my wrists before I could.

"Ms. Swan leave the violence to me." He gave me that sexy smile thing he does.

How could I resist. Why was I fighting him so hard? We both knew the truth, I wanted him, no matter how I ended up getting him.

Let me go Edward!"

"I'll let you go if you promise not to hit me." He mused

I just gave him a look and he laughed even more. He slowly lowered my hands to my sides and let go. Has soon as he let go I lounged for him. But he tricked me by rising up slightly and our lips ended up colliding. I instantly found my hands in his hair and his around my waist.

I was just about straddling him in his office chair. We were kissing with so much force. He was pulling my jacket off and I was unbuttoning his shirt. The loud ringing of his phone brought me back to reality.

I started to remove myself from his lap, but he pulled me back down.

"Ignore it." he said between heated kisses

I tried to move again, but he kept clenching to me. How could I resist him? I needed to.

"Edward we need to stop." I said trying to catch my breath

"No we don't." He grabbed my face and pulled my lips back to his.

A knocking on the door brought us both back to reality.

"Go away." Edward yelled

"Edward I will not!" Yelled a woman's voice.

"Fuck.!" He yelled whispered.

He pushed me gently off his lap and stood up. He smoothed out my face and hair. He adjusted his shirt.

"Who is that?" I asked

"Its Esme, my mother." He huffed

Oh was all I could think to say. Well this won't be awkward or anything. He walked over to the door and opened it plastering on a smile. He revealed a beautiful copper haired woman with green eyes. She was Edward in the female form. How she was even close enough in age to be his mother, I'd never know. She looked no older than 35.

"Well hello there my darling. We have a lunch date or did you forget?" She kissed his cheek and hugged him to her

"I did forget about that mom." Edward gave her a tight smile

"Don't do that, you will get wrinkles." She said smoothing out his face

Then she turned and saw me. Her face lit up and she gracefully walked over to me. I was frozen to the very spot.

"Well hello there dear, I'm Esme Cullen, Edward's mom." I extended my hand to her

"I'm Bella Swan." I smiled politely at her

"Well that's a very fitting name." Esme smiled brightly at me

I could feel my face warm at her compliment.

"Well I will be going." I nodded to both and walked past Edward.

He just watched me walk down the hall. I looked at him and our eyes connected. There was something new there, but I couldn't quite place it. Before I could call to him, Reilly walked up to me. Edward's face completely crumbled and he turned away into his office. I felt a tugging in my stomach at the sight.

"Hey Bella, what brings you up here?" Reilly smiled at me

"I was going over something with Edward." I felt like I was on auto pilot with my reply

"Well this is great. We could go to lunch now, if you want. I was actually just heading down to find you." His smiling never wavering.

"Right lunch, sounds great." I said as Reilly pushed me toward the elevator.

We had our usual lunch break. We sat at a table together talking about nothing really. Once it was over I went back to my office. Reilly promised to come down later and say hello. I made my way back to my office and worked for the rest of the day.

It was 5:30pm. It seemed to be my favorite time to leave anymore. I got my coat and purse and made my descent to the garage. Reilly had left around three for a meeting in Vancouver. He mentioned something about a helicopter, but I was so far out of it today I wasn't even paying attention.

Has the elevator dinged and the door opened, there was Edward holding his coat and umbrella. Our eyes locked and I was hypnotized once more. Why couldn't he just be like a normal guy? The frustration over taking my thoughts. I got on and stood next to him.

"Well isn't it a coincidence that we keep meeting like this." I jokingly said

"Maybe its fate." He gave me that crooked smile

"Um yea I don't think so."

"You never know Ms. Swan." He winked at me

"Your mom was really nice by the way."

"She thought the same thing about you." He kept looking at the door

"Tomorrow's the Halloween party, are you excited? I nudged him with my shoulder

"Yes it should be a lot of fun." He looked down at me and smiled brightly

"Yes it should be." The small talk was making the tension in the air thick.

"Bella about earlier in my office, I just.." But I cut him off before he could say anything else

"Its okay, we both got carried away in the heat of the moment. I shouldn't have barged into your office like that. I'm sorry."

"Don't apologize, I actually needed the distraction and you are always welcome to come to my office anytime." His green eyes sparkled when he said it

For some reason my curiosity was peaking, so I asked the question that had been burning in my head.

"Are you bringing a date tomorrow?" I bit on my lip actually afraid he might say yes

"I haven't decided. Will you be going with Reilly?" His voice became tense at the mention of Reilly

"I haven't decided." Again our eyes locked and he moved in closer.

When I thought he was about to kiss me the door opened revealing the parking garage. It broke the trance we were under. Edward shook his head and swiftly got out. He began to walk away quickly and I sighed making my way to my own car.

I got my keys from Seth and unlocked my car. When I was about to open the door it was pushed closed by Edward's hand. I turned to look at him and he engulfed me into a longing sweet intense kiss. His hands were on the sides of my face and I laid mine over his. When he finally broke off the kiss I was completely light headed and dizzy.

"My sweet beautiful Isabella." He mumbled why rubbing my cheeks

I was too lost for words. He removed his hands from my face and opened my car door. I slid in never breaking eye contact from him. Once in my seat, he closed the door and walked away. Something was happening between us that I couldn't place, but whatever it was, god I hope he felt it too.

Well what do you think? Let me know I love the reviews and comments, you guys really fill me with joy! Next up Edward's POV of everything up to the end of this chapter
