A/N: I am really sorry I haven't updated sooner. I was preparing to graduate high school and designing Bella's leather outfit and cat suit which are the same but the shoulders are ripped off of the outfit for the cat suit! Hope you love it!

Catwoman: Twilight City
Chapter 6: Chinese Food, Split-screens, Alter-egos and Kisses Oh My!
Over the next couple of days Bella visited Alice, who was still suffering from the worst head ache on the planet and tried to find a new job. Job hunting was a bust, after the way she spoke to her boss no one would hire her. So to blow off some steam she painted. She was plagued with weird dreams. In these dreams she would be surrounded by cats.
At the moment she was working on a painting a picture of her mother. Bella missed her more than anything. For anyone who didn't know Renée Swan they would say it was a self portrait. Bella was her spitting image. She was broken from her remembrance by the phone ringing.
(A/N: ok imagine this part in a slit screen kind of thing. Ok got it …oh and imagine Bella doing all climbing that Hali does in the scene Animal Attraction while talking to sally!)
"Hello is Alice alright." Bella answered quickly seeing as it was the hospital.
(Cue split screen) "I'm fine! Don't go get those fancy panties that I bought you in a twist." Alice laughed.
"Sounds like you feeling better, Alice."
"A medication I can't pronounce. Hey, did you see my doctor! HE IS HOT! I AM SO GOING TO MARRY HIM BELLA!"
"Yeah Alice I saw him but it was hard to tell how hot he was with the man-sandwich, as Jake so named him, standing next to me." 'Now he is hot!'
"OOOOOO! Did you ever have a makeup date! I want details. I'm wearing a paper dress here!" Alice huffed.
"Yeah it was in the cafeteria. Bad coffee and hospital food, it was perfect till Charlie came in and scared him off." Bella groaned the last part.
"You have to be kidding! I hope it's not like Alex. He never came near you again he was shot at by Charlie when he's sneaking out of your bedroom window at 5 in the morning." Alice laughed with the nurse who heard Alice. (A/N: I will write a side story of Alex being shot at by Charlie.)
"Alice this is so not high school any more. And he said he would call before practically ran from the hospital, but that was a few days ago…Oh god I hope Charlie isn't working him to hard!" Bella prayed that Charlie won't put too much work on Edward's firm, strong shoulders.
"Bella don't worry he seem to be stubborn; hey you to are perfect for each other!" Alice squealed. Bella was about to retort when a loud knock came from the front door. "Alice I am not stubborn. I just don't like you buying me stuff." Bella stated as she answered the door to find Edward holding Chinese takeout, and a bottle of white wine and a breath taking smile.
"I really hope you love Chinese." Edward joked.
"I love Chinese." Bella smiled as let him in, forgetting about Alice. Edward wandered into the kitchen as Bella stayed in the living room to clean the art supplies up.
(Alice's side of the screen.)
Alice looked at the Phone in her hand and strand to her Bella's side of the phone.
'I really hope you love Chinese.'
She heard a familiar voice on the other side of the phone and then Bella saying she loves Chinese. Then silence.
After a few minutes Alice got annoyed. She sucked in a breath and yelled into the phone scaring the nurses.
(Bella's sided)
Bella finished cleaning everything and looked at the phone in her hand trying to remember why she had it and noticed it was on. She lifted it to her ear only to jump five feet in the air when Alice's yelled through the phone; throwing the phone up in the process.
"Isabella Swan you better not forget I'm here god damn it!" Bella did this like acrobatic bating thing when she tried to catch the phone.
"I'm sorry Alice I have to go." Bella said apologetically once she was steady.
"What's so damn important that you forget I'm on the phone with you?!" Alice said pissed.
"Edward's here with Chinese takeout." Bella said looking through the kitchen door at Edward as he removed the food from the bag and got two plates from the cabinet.
"Oh then that is very important. OOOO here comes Dr. dreamy bye!" Alice hung up and chased after Dr. Whitlock claiming to have a fever. (And split screen is gone!)
Bella laughed and went into the kitchen shaking her head at her crazed pixie friend.
"Who was on the phone?" Edward asked as he set two glasses of wine down on the table.
"Oh, Alice took over the nurse's station phone. Then she went to drool over her doctor after we hung up." Bella giggled as she eyed the wine. "What's with the wine?"
"Better than bad coffee." He picked his up to prove his point. "It sound like Alice is doing much better." He changed the topic.
"Yeah, she is, she asked about you and said she hoped Charlie didn't shoot at you."
"Why would he shot at me?" He went white and Bella laughed.
"He won't, if he give you a hard time tell me and I'll take care of it." After that they ate and talked all night. He told her about this fake tit brigade that he arrested for murder; Jessica and Lauran, two twin prostitutes that would kill their clients then take the dead guys money and stuff.
---------------------------------------------This is my time-line people!------------------------------------------------
Edward would visit Bella every few days and today he was fixing the lock he had to break to catch her. Currently she was painting a picture of Midnight. As she finished she heard the front door close and turned to see Edward rounded the corner with a screwdriver in hand.
"Well that fixed but what happen to the widow?" He nodded head at the boarded up window.
"I have no idea but the window guy is coming tomorrow." Bella shrugged. "Anyway are you attending the charity ball that is thrown ever year?" Bella asked as she cleaned her paint brushes.
"You know about that?"Edward asked. She nodded with a laugh.
"Yeah Charlie tries to get me to go every year but I it's kind of hard not to think of my mom since she started the ball when funding was low for the boys in blue." She said this as she walked over to her desk and picked up the tickets Charlie sent her.
"Would you this year? I mean if you had an escort." Edward asked while a blush crossed his cheeks.
'Awww he's blushing!' Bella thought.
'Wait! Did he just ask me to go to the ball with him!?'
Then she decided to have a little funny with him.
"Yeah I am. This cute cop that works with my dad asked me." She bit her lip to held back the laughter as she watched his face go white and then disappointed.
"Oh, well forget I mentioned it." He murmured sadly. At this Bella was on the floor laughing. He looked at her liked she needed a padded cell.
"I'm just messing with you!" She said once she was done laughing.
"So is that a no or will you go with me?" He got straight to the point.
She smiled a ball kicking smile and nodded. "Of course I'll go with you. Who else would I go with, Mike Newton?" She joke then gagged. "He's a huge slime ball by the way. Every time I go to see my dad he me asks me out on a date and every time I turn him down." By this point they were on the couch and Edward was ready to go down to the station and beat Newton to death.
"I know he's the biggest ass I've ever met."Edward said with a disgusted look on his face.
"I take it you met the golden retriever." She giggled at her name for Mike Newton. Edward looked at her for a minute in thought. Then started laughing so hard he fell of the couch. He composed himself and wiped the tears from his face. He set back on the couch and smiled at her.
"He follows you around like a lost puppy too?" He said while shaking his head.
"Yeah..." she stretched out the word. "So I'm not the only one he's tried his so called charm on then."
"No definitely not the only one. When he was my partner every witness that was female he would drool over them instead of interviewing them."
"If you ask me he's gay. Tyler and make are made for each other….." And she truly believed this to be true. When they thought no one was looking, they would steal looks at the other. Bella voiced this and Edward agreed.
"So who's your partner now?" Bella asked truly curious, or the other person in her was curious. (A/N: I have decided to call the other person Izzy. She is her cat-self/alter-ego.)
"I work alone now." he really didn't want to talk about it so he looked around the apartment for a distraction and he found one; one of the paintings up against the wall.
"Is that a self portrait?" he was on his feet walking to the painting.
"No…that's my mother. I'm her spitting image; except I have my dad's eyes." A stray tear fell from her eyes as she tried not to cry. It didn't go unnoticed.
"You ok…I didn't mean to make you upset!" he started to panic. But Bella waved it off.
"I just miss her that's all. The anniversary it next Friday so it's a little ruff right now.
"Well, I'm here." Edward pulled her in to a tight hug. When Bella felt better she pulled away. "So… how's the job hunt?" He continued to look at the other paintings. Some of the paintings were painted by Izzy.
"It sucks! Because I of the way I spoke to Mr. Hedare I was black listed!" Bella/Izzy hissed.
"I know someone that would pay a lot of money for these." He pointed to the paintings. "I could give her a call and see if she's interested," Bella gaped at him in disbelief and awe. Of course he took it the wrong way. "If you don't want me to I want." Then out of nowhere Izzy reared her head mentally.
(A/N: Izzy is bold and Bella is italics)
'Hey stop gaping at him and say something!'
'Who the hell are you?'
'You call me Izzy. Now snap out of it before he leaves!'
At this Bella snapped out of it, and sure enough Edward was about to leave. Bella stopped him before he left just in time.
"I would love for you called you friend for me Edward. I was just shocked that's all." Bella said this as she stepped on her tippy toes to kiss on the cheek but he had other ideas.
He grabbed her face in his smooth hands and kissed her full on the lips. Bella was shocked at first but soon started kissing him back as she moving her hands to his soft hair and one his arms wrapped around her waist. They continued this till they both started getting dizzy from lack of oxygen. They were silent for a moment Edward's forehead on hers till his broke the silence.
"I've wanted to do that since the moment I pulled you through the window." He kissed her forehead and smelled her hair then kissed it. Still dazed all Bella could say was 'mhmm' as she breathed in his scent. (A/N: Hey ladies of Team Edward wouldn't you be dazed to if that happened to you too.)
Edward looked up to see the clock read 7 pm. "Shit! I have to go. If I'm late for the night shift your dad will have my ass. I'll call you with details tomorrow afternoon." With one short sweet kiss he left for work.
Bella side in happiness, 'I'm going to the ball with Edward…' she thought to herself. Then she realized something, something very important that is needed for such an occasion. "Oh shit what am I gonna wear!"
'You know what you must do.'
"Not you again!" Bella exclaimed out loud. "Where did you come from anyway? And who are you?" Bella said as she looked around her apartment.
'I'm you silly; I've just been locked away. Midnight set me free.'
Bella ran to a mirror and looked at her self. What she saw made her gasp. The girl in the mirror was different from Bella, this was Izzy. Her hair was a darker shade and her eyes; her eyes were butterscotch gold. Her pupils looked like cat eyes.
"I'm losing my mind." Bella said to herself.
'No it was just set free. No longer will we take crap from anyone and as for Edward he's as good as ours. He's purr-fect.'
"That was you that said that to my boss! You got me fired!" Bella screeched!
'He deserved it and now we can be artist! Now go call Alice for help with the ball or so help me I will!'
Bella looked closer in the mirror. She blinked and her eyes were brown again.
