Pretending

Bella POV

My chest heaved and I wasn't sure just where I was but it was beautiful. The trees had purplish flowers growing from them, and I could see mountains in the distance. It was a little foggy but I could also see a large body of water, a lake. The wind blew and rushed over my skin and I shivered involuntarily.

"Here love put this on."

I heard that velvet voice say from behind me, then I felt a blanket wrap around me along with his strong arms and I instantly fell back against his chest. "It's beautiful out here." I said not sure what else to say. I knew it was a dream and yet I didn't want to wake up ever.

"It's nothing compared to you."

He said into my ear and I smiled. I turned in his arms and looked up at him. His green eyes swallowing every bit of my soul and I surrendered to him. He traced a finger over my cheek and then lowered his hand causing our lips to touch. I moaned feeling his lips on mine; it was hot and yet the sweetest thing that had ever touched my lips. His tongue parted my lips slightly then entered my mouth and I moaned louder this time. He cupped my face pulling me tighter against him as he started to devour my mouth and I felt this need to have him more than anything else in the world. As if something was pulling me to him, stronger then a magnet, stronger then gravity this was…

"No…"

I said pulling away from him, this couldn't be. This was wrong, what I was feeling wasn't real. He stepped closer to me and I wanted to step away but my feet wouldn't let me. "Don't fight it." He told me and I sucked in one last breath before his lips were on mine again. This time his kiss was more forceful, more passionate and my hands slid up his chest and into his hair. I felt his hands on my hips and then he lifted me off the ground and I wrapped my legs around him. "Isabella can I touch you?" He asked and I breathed against his mouth and nodded my head not trusting my voice. I felt myself slowly being lowered and I realized we were on the grass now. His hand slowly slid up my side and…

BING! BING! BING!

I growled as I reached for my damn cell phone that was on my night stand. I pulled my phone under the covers with me and saw that I had three text messages one from Angela, Alice and Rose and they all said the same thing, "Get your ass up!" I tossed the covers from over my head and slowly pulled myself up in a sitting position. This dream about Edward was a lot more vivid then the others; I could still feel his lips and hands on me. I couldn't fall for him I couldn't. "Damn it!" I barked hating this, I was afraid of this because I knew that I would end up with my heart broken. Even if he was somewhat ok with the James crap, I was still a barren woman and a man who could have any woman would never settle for one that couldn't give him his own children. We are just friends, and it was only a dream so there was no need to worry about that. I tried telling myself, Ha Jacob and Jasper are your friends and you never dreamed about them, you never even dreamed about James and he was your husband. My beautiful subconscious pointed out. This friendship was supposed to be safe, but it was more no matter how much I pretended it wasn't.

I had been counting down the days to when Edward returns from China. We talked on the phone every night or in his case every morning since he was in China, it was like habit now, I knew to expect his call at ten at night so I would make certain I already took my shower and ate dinner. Sometimes he would video chat me in the middle of the day, and I honestly enjoyed those more because I got to see his face. Somehow I felt like I had known him for years instead of weeks and that scared me.

The first week was over and there was only one more week and then he would be back in Chicago. At times I wanted to run in the other direction tell him this friendship wasn't going to work but then that a part of me that felt like I needed him near even if he was just a friend wouldn't allow me to say the words. I didn't usually get a call from him in the morning, and since he was actually working I usually left the calling to him. Today was my day off and I honestly wanted to sleep in but, Angela, Alice and Rose were not about to let that happen. We planned a girl's day at the spa and I actually looked forward to it.

I dressed in a pair of dark blue skinny jeans and a brown floral short sleeve shirt with a brown belt around my torso. I slid my feet in a pair of brown flats and then decided on placing my hair in a messy ponytail. I grabbed my brown rocker bag and then headed down the stairs. I knew I had to meet them at the spa in an hour and as usual I was running late. I walked over to my desk and tapped on the key board to wake it up. I then walked into my kitchen and poured a cup of coffee and grabbed the bagel I put in the toaster a few minutes ago. I walked back over to my computer to see if Rosalie had emailed me the guest that would be appearing on the show next week. Just as I bit into my bagel the Cisco video chat started to ring. I smiled instantly knowing it was Edward, I quickly chewed and swallowed my food and then pressed the key to answer it. His gorgeous face popped up on the screen and he was smiling at me.

"Good morning Isabella,"

"Good evening Mr. Cullen"

I replied knowing that it was night time in china right now. "How did you sleep?" He asked me and I knew I was blushing as I thought about the dream I had about Edward. He grinned at me, "Must have been a good sleep." He said and I smiled,

"Yeah I had a dream about Brad Pitt, best dream ever."

I lied and he started laughing, "Lucky bastard." He mumbled or at least that was what it sounded like he said. "Your calling early I didn't expect to hear from you until later tonight." I said and he ran his fingers through his hair.

"Yeah I have an early meeting in the morning, so I won't be able to call you later. It's why I called now; don't want you to think I forgot about you."

"Aww you're really getting good at this friend thing."

I told him and he laughed, "I have a good teacher. Where are you off to early in the morning?" He asked and I smiled, "My girl's day, at the spa remember." I told him sitting down in front of the computer. He gave me a that crooked grin,

"Right, pampering today, guess I should let you go then huh?"

"No it's alright, how was your day, you had that meeting today, how did that go?"

I asked wanting to continue our conversation. "Like the others meetings, a bunch of middle aged men trying to get rich fast and pay less." He answered and I laughed, "You look exhausted." I told him some part of me wishing I was there to put him to bed. To put him in bed or join him in bed? My subconscious asked and I swallowed hard happy Edward couldn't read my mind.

"I am but I wanted to talk to you first."

"Aww Emmett driving you crazy?"

"His snoring is, I don't know why I agreed to share a room with him."

He said and I laughed again, "Yeah I'm sure there are many other people you would like to share a room with you." I joke and he gives that crooked grin which was really becoming my favorite smile, "Is that so, do you know any one of them people? I prefer brunettes and I could use a cuddle buddy." He said and I rolled my eyes at him, there was no way I planned on introducing him to any woman I knew.

"Did you work all day?"

I asked changing the subject, "Of course, I don't know what a break is. I think Jessica would try to kill me if she could get away with it." He joked and I laughed,

"Maybe if you were nicer to her, she wouldn't want to kill you."

"Probably, but I didn't need her getting comfortable and sloppy."

"Is that why you're a complete dick to your employees?"

I asked and he shrugged his shoulders, "Some of them, but some of the others deserve it. At least two should thank you for still having their jobs." He said then turned a little red, I think Edward Cullen was blushing.

"I didn't mean to say that."

"Why would they need to thank me for still having their jobs?"

I asked him curious now, "What Spa are you going to?" He asked and I rolled my eyes. I hated when he avoided my questions because it meant he had no plan to answer it.

"We are going to Red Vine, Rosalie knows the owner and got us in even though you need an appointment like weeks in advance."

"Hmm sounds like fun I guess having some guy massage your entire body would be entertaining."

He said and I swore I heard a little jealousy in his voice. I decided to have some fun with him, though I had no plan of having a man touch me anywhere, unless his name is Edward Cullen. Oh how I love my subconscious.

"Oh that's the only reason I'm going, I mean a hot guy giving me a full body massage just sounds wonderful."

"I heard they were all ugly dog looking men."

Edward replied and I laughed, "Who told you this, one of your many women?" I joked and he gave me that crooked grin again.

"No my younger sister, her and my mother went there last mother's day."

"Oh well they could have fired those guys and got hotter ones by now."

I said with a smile and I watched his jaw tighten, ha I won that round. Payback for not answering my question was sweet. My cell phone notified me of another text again and it was Angela telling me to hurry the hell up. I completely forgot I was supposed to be picking her up.

"You have to go?"

He asked and I nodded my head, "Alright have fun and I'll talk to you uh I guess tomorrow, well your tomorrow." He said and I nodded my head,

"Sweet dreams Edward."

"I'm hoping so, have a good day Isabella."

He told me and I smiled. We ended the video chat and I quickly grabbed my keys and bag and rushed out of my loft. When I made it outside to the garage I waved at the security guard like I did every morning and headed for my car. Then I saw the biggest jerk I knew, my ex husband.

"Bella, I almost didn't recognize you."

"I recognized you right away; you still look like the same piece of shit I divorced."

"Oh come on Bella, no need to be mean. I just came to see you."

He said pushing off of the car he was leaning on, I proceeded to walk to my car and could feel him following me. I stopped and turned to face him,

"What do you want James?"

"I need you to confirm something for me."

"No."

I said then I turned and began to walk for my car again, "Come on, you don't even know what it is yet." He said obviously still following me. I inhaled deeply then turned and looked at him again.

"I don't care."

"Even if it's about you?"

He asked with a grin on his face now, I knew my eyes went large and he smiled, "I thought you would change your mind.

"See I have this source that said they witnessed you and Edward Cullen having breakfast a couple weeks ago at the diner and watched the two of you leave together."

"Tell Embry to mind his fucking business."

I snapped, because from what I could remember he was the person there that would say anything to anyone about Edward and I having breakfast. "It wasn't Embry; it was actually his brother Quil. So it's true?" He asked me with a grin on his face. Now that didn't surprise me Embry told his brother everything and Quil never gave a damn about me.

"No, we bumped into each other there once, that's it."

I told him and he looked me over as if trying to decide if I was lying or not. "So no affair going on?" He asked and I sucked my teeth.

"No James why would Edward Cullen want to be involved with me?"

I said knowing playing his way would get him to drop it, "Yeah your right, don't even know why I believed his ass. But Bella there is some man out there who would want you I mean I've seen worse and they have husbands and shit." He said as if giving me a compliment.

"James do me a favor and go jump off a bridge and die."

I tell him and he laughs, "But then you won't get that big life insurance check, you know you are still the beneficiary." He said and I looked at him now with a raised brow,

"Why?"

"So if I end up murdered they know who to suspect first."

He said then laughed as if he'd told a joke; I rolled my eyes and growled as I walked away. "Hey Bella I always wanted to know something." He called to me and again I stopped and turned to him. This time with my hand on my hip.

"What?"

"Why didn't you ever take my last name?"

"Where is this coming from?"

"I asked Victoria to marry me and she jumped at the option to take my name and it made me wonder why you never took it."

He said and I sucked in a deep breath, "I don't know, I guess Isabella Johnson never sounded right to me. Plus I had my career to think about, you know I always planned to write in a magazine and I wanted to be known by my name not yours." I told him and he ran his fingers through his hair,

"Now you're a big shot television host, guess it's a good thing you never took my name after all huh."

"Yeah it is congratulations to you and Victoria."

I said then turned to walk away, this time he didn't call after me and I could tell he walked away. I climbed into my car and left to pick Angela up. When I finally arrived at her house she was outside tapping her foot.

"I'm sorry, I got distracted."

I yelled out the window and she shook her head then yelled inside the house to Ben that she loved him and would see him later. She quickly got in the car and I pulled off for the Spa.

"Where you up all night; on the phone with him again?"

"No."

I lied and she laughed. I regretted ever slipping up and telling any of them about Edward and my nightly talks. It slipped one morning while Alice was doing my makeup, and Rose was going over some questions for the show. Of course neither of the cows couldn't wait to call and Angela and tell her.

"So are the two of you still pretending or are you two dating now?"

"What? Ang I told you we are just friends."

"Still pretending."

She said and I rolled my eyes at her then continued to drive. I pulled up outside of the Spa the same time I spotted Rose and Alice walk out the doors. We climbed out and the valet took my keys and I approached Rose and Alice,

"You know I knew you would be late, which is why I didn't tell you that the actual appointment was for ten and not nine."

Rosalie said and I laughed, "Funny Rose. I get it I'm late sorry." I said walking towards the doors, "She was on the phone with you know who all last night." I heard Angela say from behind me and I rolled my eyes when I heard Rosalie and Alice giggle.

"I knew she was because Emmett said Edward sent him on a dummy mission so he could be alone on the phone."

"Oh really he must have been telling her some sweet things."

"Can the three of you stop talking about me like I'm not right here?"

I said and they all laughed, we approached the desk and the clerk smiled and walked over to us, "Can I help you?" she asked

"Yes we have an appointment, Rosalie Hale, Alice Hale, Angela Cheney, and Isabella Swan." I said and her face kind of lit up and it scared me,

"Ms. Swan, I've been waiting for you and your guests to arrive."

She said and I looked back at the girls confused, "You've been waiting for me?" I ask to be sure that's what she meant,

"You are Isabella Swan correct?"

"Yes."

"Good, we have the house package ready for the four of you."

"Oh wait we didn't ask for that, we can't afford that."

Rosalie said and she smiled, "It's already paid for." She said and now I wanted to know what the hell was going on.

"By who?"

I asked and she looked at them then me, she walked over to her computer and picked up a sheet of paper then brought it to me. "He told me to give you this when you were alone, please don't tell him I gave it to you before that." She said and I rolled my eyes knowing who it was already. I took the paper from her and saw it was a fax in his hand writing,

Isabella,

Decided to call Red Vine after we finished talking and let you girls really get treated properly there. Getting it all changed was easy since I do, own half of it, that's a secret by the way. Oh and I told them no male massagers for you, don't need you falling for some guy that's beneath you. You know that's what friends do make sure their friends don't end up with losers. Have a nice day,

Yours truly, Assward.

The note said and I knew I was blushing fiercely. "By any chance could you fax something back to him?" I asked her and she nodded her head, I quickly dug in my purse and pulled out a pen then began to write my note on the back of the sheet of paper. Once I finished I handed it to her,

"What's your name?"

I asked her wanting to know it in case I would have to come back and kick her ass for leaking any of this to the press. "Zafrina Cortez, and trust me I will not be talking to any press. He already warned me." She answered and I nodded my head. She faxed my letter back then handed it back to me. I put it in my pocket book then told her we were ready. We all changed into the complimentary robes then went for the mud bath first which I wasn't actually thrilled about until I actually got in.

"So are we going to talk about what happened?"

Alice asked once the four of us were alone, "What happened?" I asked playing stupid and Rosalie rolled her eyes. "It was Edward wasn't it?" she asked and I shrugged my shoulders,

"It was this really cool guy I know. He made a phone call on our behalf."

"Damn it Bella stop treating us like the damn paparazzi."

Angela snapped at me and I laughed, "Yes it was him, now can you be quiet before someone else over hears." I say and they smile,

"We should come up with a code name for him."

Alice said and I looked at her, "A code name?" I asked and she nodded her head, "That's actually a good idea since you both don't want it to get out your dating." Rosalie added and I looked at her now,

"We are not dating, he is my friend."

"I know that, I only meant the two of you don't want the press to think you two are dating."

Rosalie said and Angela and Alice laughed, "Sure that's what you meant Rose." Angela said and I rolled my eyes at all of them.

"So what's his code name?"

Alice asked, I was going to say Assward, but decided that was just for me and Edward. "Sexward." Angela said and I looked at her like she lost her mind,

"I don't think Bella wants us calling her man that, how about Delicious."

Rosalie said and I rolled my eyes, "Again he is not my man, and delicious sounds like a stripper name." I replied and they all laughed.

"I would like to see him strip."

Alice and Angela said then laughed hysterically, "All of you are worse than the horny contractors on 34th street." I told them and they laughed again.

"Sorry Bella, but he was voted one of People's magazine most beautiful people and I know you saw that picture that was in there, I mean…Jesus!"

Angela said and started fanning herself, "Aren't you happily married?" I asked her and she smiled, "Oh yes, but there is nothing wrong with admiring the other fish in the ocean." She said and I shook my head at her.

"Masen."

I said and they looked at me, "Masen?" they asked me and I nodded my head, "Yes, that's his name." I told them and they nodded their heads,

"That actually makes a lot of since."

"Yes, I know and it doesn't sound like we're trying to rape the man."

"Well we can't but I'm sure you wouldn't have to rape him, I know he'll do it willingly."

Rosalie said and I shook my head and couldn't resist laughing. We finished the mud bath then went to get pedicures and manicures. I got them on a different subject and told them about James, "Is that why you were late?" Angela asked and I shrugged my shoulders.

"I can't fully blame him. I was already running late before he showed up."

"Is that so, I wonder why?"

Rosalie said and it was obvious she already knew, "I was talking to Edward and got a little distracted." I told them and they all laughed.

"And the dream didn't help either."

I said then cursed myself when I saw the look on Angela and Rosalie's face. "What dream?" Angela asked me and I rolled my eyes,

"I had a dream about him."

I said not looking at her because I knew just where this was headed, "Is this the first dream you've had about him?" Angela asked and I inhaled and looked up at her. I knew I wouldn't need to say anything else to her.

"I don't get it, what's the issue?"

Alice asked looking confused, "The Swan women have this freaky trait, they all dream about their future husbands, the man they are supposed to spend the rest of their life with." Rosalie said and I rolled my eyes,

"It's not always clear right away so we may make a mistake but it is never wrong."

"Bull shit, it's just a dream alright."

"Bella you don't believe that."

Angela said to me and I groaned, "I do believe that look at my first marriage." I told her and she rolled her eyes.

"You told me yourself none of them dreams were clear, each time the face was hidden, so answer this was Ed…Masen's face hidden to you?"

Angela asked and I inhaled again, "Angela just because it was freakishly true for you doesn't mean it is for me alright. Now please can we drop it?" I asked them and Angela rolled her eyes at me.

"I'm sorry Ang, I just don't believe it the way you do."

I told her and she inhaled then said, "You will." Rosalie swiftly changed the subject and I was extremely happy for it. There was no more talk about dreams but they were not giving up on asking about Edward. After the day at the spa we went to eat Angela refusing to go to Eclipse saying for one day she didn't want to see the inside of her restaurant. So instead we went somewhere else and I remembered the other reason I only went to my sister's restaurant, because at least I could eat there without being disturbed. I loved fans but I swore they had bad timing like while a lobster tail is hanging out of my mouth.

I continuously checked my phone in hopes that just maybe Edward woke up or even just had time to text me but he hadn't. I kept telling myself that I acted this anxious with all my friends if I hadn't heard from them, but I knew that was honestly a load of bull shit. I was really starting to think I needed to put an end to this before it went too far. Once I finally arrived home I took my shower and felt at a loss because I knew I wouldn't be receiving a call from Edward tonight. I went to my computer and waited for it to wake up from hibernation. Once it did I checked my email and was pleased to see I had an email from Edward.

Isabella

I already told you I can take whatever you can dish out. I did it because you are one of my closest and dearest friends, I'm not there to show you how much I appreciate you being there for me just simply to talk to and not want anything from me so I called the Spa, and yes I will think whoever you date is a loser because no man is worthy of a rare jewel like you. Your one of a kind that's why I had to get to know you, have a good night Isabella. P.S keep those Brad Pitt sex dreams to yourself. LOL

Yours, Assward

I reread the message repeatedly, I knew he called me a friend but seeing that he felt like no man was worthy of me made my heart do a little flutter. I hit reply and sent him an email back. Then I went up to my bedroom and climbed into bed with my favorite book The Scarlet Letter, which still surprised Edward that I liked it so much. It seemed the more I told him about myself I peeked his interest more as he would say. I was starting to wonder just how much of his interest did I actually have.

Edward POV

I sat behind my desk in my office and was looking over the sales for last month, "Baby come to bed." Then that voice that seemed to be imprinting on every fiber of my being said. I looked up from the computer and saw her standing at my office door in nothing but one of my white button shirts, with simply one button holding it closed. My dick grew hard instantly.

"I have to finish this work Isabella."

"Finish it tomorrow, I want you to hold me."

She said walking further in the office and I sat back in my chair. She pushed me back from the desk then sat on the edge of it in front of me.

"You look beautiful in my shirt."

"Really?"

She asked with that blush and I knew that without her having to do anything else to persuade me, she already won. I ran my hand up over her smooth legs never taking my eyes off of hers. "Yes Love you look breath taking, I should request this is all you ever wear." I told her and she blushed a deeper shade of pink.

"I'll consider it being all I wear to bed, if you come…with me."

She said with a grin on her face, I couldn't speak as I looked at her. Surely it was some mistake she was here with me some sick twisted joke to show what I could have if I pulled my head out my ass. Her foot began to creep up my leg then my inner thigh.

"I know work is the most important thing to you but I hate sleeping in that big bed alone."

She told taking my silence as a no I wasn't coming to bed, I took her hand into mine and pulled her into my lap. I lifted her chin so that she was looking at me then said,

"There is nothing more important to me then you."

I told her and now I knew I was dreaming because I would never tell a woman that, my family's company was always first and the idea that Isabella could change that told me she needed to go. Then the dream changed it was dark now, I was alone.

"Isabella."

I called out but received no answer; I called her again but nothing. "She left like you wanted her to." A voice similar to my grandfathers said in a distance.

"Grandfather."

"Let her in Edward."

The voice said and I tried to look around to see if I could see him anywhere in this darkness but I couldn't and I was certain I was alone.

"Edward wake up!"

Emmett booming voice yelled while hitting me in the face with a pillow and waking me from my sleep. I rubbed my eyes then slowly pulled myself up. I looked at the time and I grumbled because I had only finally gone to sleep about five hours ago. I pulled myself out of bed and went to take a shower. Then I quickly dressed in a black suit just as there was a knock at the hotel room door. I knew it was Samantha and Jessica, I took them both along in case Samantha messed up. Emmett opened the door and they both entered,

"Mr. Shoe's office called and said that they are ready to meet with you."

Jessica told me, and I nodded my head. I hated that it was taking this long to agree on a contract that would stratify both companies.

"Also you had a fax this morning. It was hand written."

Samantha said pulling a sheet of paper out of her black leather folder. She handed me the paper and I grinned seeing it was from Isabella. I told them all to go ahead down to the car and that I would be down in a minute. Emmett said he would stand outside of the room and wait. I looked at the note Isabella had written.

Assward,

Would you care to explain, why you paid for the house package for four people. We had it taken care of, though I will say thank you because it was rather nice of you. But really? And I should give you a black eye when I see you, for telling them I couldn't have a male massager. Leave it to you, you'll think any guy I talk to his a loser because they're not the great Sire Edward Cullen. News flash not every man can be Edward Cullen, so guess if I leave it to you I'll be single forever. LOL guess those Brad Pitt dreams will have to do.

Yours truly, Isabella

I smiled from her note because she called me Sire Edward Cullen like Emmett often joked, but for some reason it didn't annoy me coming from her. Also the black eye comment made me laugh, I had never been physically threaten this way anyway by a woman before. Her comment about me thinking all the guys she would date being a loser was true, because no man was worthy to have her, not even me as badly as some part of me wanted her more than anything. I went to my laptop and quickly sent her an email. Then grabbed my things and left for the meeting.

When we arrived at the meeting I greeted each man properly and spoke to them in the little Chinese I did know. Thankfully Jessica was fluent in it, which was the other reason I had her come with me to China. We sat around the table discussing the contract and I tried not to show my irritation with what they presented to me. One of the men said something I didn't fully understand and Jessica quickly leaned over to me,

"He said you are being a spoiled American, because this is a great deal."

I growled and she flinched, "Tell him he is the one who wants my product and I can just sell it to someone else." I told her and she quickly translated and he looked at me. Then said something again and I clearly understood the curse word. Jessica went to translate and I shook my head stopping her. I stood up and Jessica, Samantha and Emmett followed getting up as well.

"Tell them it was nice doing business, but I'm sure the Japanese would appreciate my business a lot more."

I told Jessica and she translated again, "Wait!" Mr. Shoe said stopping me. Then he turned to the other man and began to curse him the hell out from what I could tell. He then looked back over at me,

"Please Mr. Cullen have a seat. I'm sure we could work this out."

He said I still stood, "There is nothing to workout. I'm a powerful man and I won't sit here and be disrespected by some idiot who wished he had half the money I do. I gave you my offer, either take it or leave it. But I'm done negotiating with your board." I told him and began to walk for the door, "We'll take you offer Mr. Cullen." He said and I was actually happy because honestly I needed their contract as much as they needed mine. I sat back down and we talked some more about the contract, Samantha already had the one I had made back in the states so we had that one signed and I told Samantha to make them copies.

"Mr. Cullen, please join us tomorrow for a celebration dinner."

He said and I knew that in China it was inappropriate to decline an invitation so I agreed. After we had the contract squared away I went down to their tech room and spent more than my entire day going over the notebook tablet we were about to create between our two companies. Once we left I told the girls to go enjoy the rest of their night, Samantha looked surprised and I explained that I was happy they had done their job without me having to scream. They quickly left and Emmett smiled at me, "Bella is making you a softy." He said and I chuckled because he was right. I had almost slipped up and basically told Isabella that while we were on the phone earlier. But once I was in a good mode after hearing from her, there wasn't any way I could still be so angry.

"Screw you."

I told him and he laughed, we went to the hotel's restaurant and ordered dinner. "So are you going to tell her you want to go steady?" Emmett said with a huge stupid grin on his face.

"Steady Emmett?"

I asked and he laughed, "Look I'm really just asking because I want to take Rosalie on a date when we get back and since I'm pretty much always on your detail I figured you and Bella could join us." He said and I sat back and looked at him,

"Go on your date Emmett, I'm grown man capable of protecting myself for one night."

I told him and he looked at me, "So you're really not willing to go on a date with her?" He asked me and I ran my fingers through my hair.

"I don't want the fucking paparazzi to ruin our relationship."

"Relationship?"

"Friendship you dick I meant friendship."

I said making him laugh hysterically, "Sure whatever you say keep pretending that it's not what we all know this really is between the two of you." Emmett told me just as our drinks arrived.

"She is just my friend. I have too much to deal with trying to figure out who is trying to make my company go under."

I told him and he nodded his head at me, "That's what you hired the Volturi for, let them do their job." He told me and I didn't respond because for me this conversation was over. After we ate we went back to our hotel room and I checked my email first. I had many emails from the office in Chicago from Benjamin something about there was a security breach in the tech room, then the Volturi sending me a list of more employees that had been removed from the questioning list. I ran my fingers through my hair feeling irritated and that was when I saw her email. I smiled and instantly clicked it open.

Assward

Thank you for that compliment though I'm sure there is a few people who would probably disagree with you. And please always remember that I want nothing from you but your friendship. I am also happy I am getting to know you. Emmett was right you're not an ass all the time. And those Brad Pitt dreams are nothing compared to my Robert Pattinson dreams trust me, ; ) I don't know if you are reading this in the morning or night, but I hope you have (had ) a good day.

Yours Isabella

I had this need to call her now. I wanted to ask her what people would disagree with me about her being a rare jewel, because whoever they were I wanted to kick their ass. So I called Isabella before I finally went to sleep for night.

So I gave Bella and Angela the vision dream thing because I figured its always Alice and this time I wanted to do it differently.

I think they are starting to drive their friends crazy with this "friendship" LOL

Oh I know its a day late (Stupid school work LOL) so I will try to post tonight also, that depends on you guys!

Remember reviews will encourage me to post sooner! So please review!
