A/N: I know I'm horrible at updating, still I hope you guys enjoy this chapter!

Oh where did my manners go

It was hot. But in a good way. His hands were everywhere and yet I still wanted more. There was nothing concrete, I couldn't see him or notice any specific physical features, but he was all over me. I couldn't get enough. His lips were heaven kissing my neck, claiming my mouth. I wanted more… I wanted…. For that stupid ringing to stop!

With a start I opened my eyes only to find myself clutching one of my pillows closely and my phone ringing. Grudgingly I reached for my cell phone and answered it without looking at the ID.

"Hey sweetheart." Ugh, mood killer.

"What do you want." I didn't mean to sound so angry but then I again this man was keeping me hostage in an inconvenient marriage and he had also just ruined the best dream.

"Really you shouldn't talk to you're husband that way."

"Well when I get married for real one day, I'll remember that advice."

"Ok I get it too soon, for the marriage jokes. Truce?" After I grumbled my acquiesce he continued speaking. "I was hoping I could take you out for dinner."

"Dinner?" I finally took a good look around my surroundings and then out the window, I could tell the sun wasn't as bright as it was earlier. Damn how long did I sleep for?

"Yep," He popped the p like an excited school boy. A sudden thought hit me, I didn't know anything about this guy. His age, his background, even really what kind of guy he was. Geez I guess I should of though of that before I married the guy while I was drunk. I rolled my eyes, right but I suppose meeting with him was what I had to do. Meet him get him to agree with my point of view, and then have him leave my life as quickly as he had entered it.

"Fine, I'll meet you in an hour you can pick the place."

"No, I'll pick you up, in an hour sounds great. See you in a bit." He didn't let me protest as he hung up quickly. Stupid want-to-be husband.

"You look nice." Angela commented as I entered the kitchen to grab a glass of water. I looked down at myself, casual sundress - check, sandals - check, hair down - check, no make up - check. What about me screamed nice? The point had been to go for an outfit that clearly stated nonchalance.

"Ugh don't tell me that or I'll want to go change."

"Why?" Angela giggled.

"I'm going to lunch with Edward in a few he should be here to pick me up." I opened the fridge and grabbed a bottle of water before gulping a good portion of it down. It was and odd change to move from such a rainy place such as Forks to Las Vegas where the word humidity really should have been on the "Welcome to" sign.

"Really? Wow are you going on a date with your husband?" Thankfully I had just finished my drink or I would have spit it out.

"What no! And don't call him that. Edward asked me out and I said yes, only because I realized I want to have this settled before I have to head home for Thanksgiving. Can you imagine, I left to get away from one marriage, only to land myself in this mess."

"Well you're right it's probably best to resolve this soon." I could see the urge Angela withheld to talk about Jacob, it was a non-stated rule that I just wasn't ready to bring him up. I hated being the villain.

We had gone to a small Diner on the other side of town. I sat on the other side of the booth sipping my ice tea with a straw as I tried to imprint Edward's face into my memory without outright gawking at him. He was handsome I could admit that. He had a strong jaw line and deep gorgeous emerald eyes, with long eyelashes and his forehead wrinkled as he perused the menu. As he started to look at me I quickly diverted my eyes to my own menu.

"Ready?" I simply nodded hoping he hadn't seen me basically raping his face with my eyes. He waved the waitress over and after we both ordered I decided it was time to get this conversation moving.

"I want to know you Edward."

"You do? I though you just wanted to forget all about me." He was genuinely surprised and pleased.

"Well I want to do that too, but I've had some time to think and I realized that even if you agreed right now to an annulment or at least a divorce that's a legal process that would take time. With that in mind I've decided that I at least want to know who you are and maybe get a better picture of what happened last night. I'm not the kind of girl that does these kind of things and…" How did I explain to him that even drunk I shouldn't have been capable of marrying anybody, that by waking up with a stupid gold band around my finger it had led me to question who I was as a person.

"I know you aren't I believe you. I want to get to know you too Bella and I also wanted to proposition something to you, I'm willing to annul this marriage, I'll leave you're life and never bother you ever again." I wanted to pinch myself I was sure I had fallen asleep waiting for him at my apartment and this was just one horrible nightmare.

"Are you serious?" I saw him nod and I just about wanted to kiss the man. Had he finally seen the light or was it that he had finally just sobered up?

"Yes on one condition, you let me court you." Apparently neither.

"Court me?" Why me? What did I do?

"Yes… I just want an opportunity to prove to you that what happened wasn't just because of the alcohol, please Bella I just want one shot?" He was looking at me with such sincere hope in his eyes, he wanted a yes so badly. Why was I always put in this position? Why did I always have to play the villain, first with Jacob and now this? Really? I hated being that girl, I really did so I did the only thing I could.

"Ok, but only until Thanksgiving." I said yes, but at least I gave him a deadline. There I compromised, see I knew I could do it. I would get what I want in the end I just had to take a detour route.

A/N: Please review! I know that was kind of a random place to end but I wanted the upcoming scene to have it's own chapter so sorry if ended abruptly.
