Chapter 10: Just The Way You Are

The car halted almost immediately causing a shocked Isabella to bounce forward slightly. Edward however stayed in place turning to her.
'But you and Mike Newton were all over each other at Prom.' He said confused and slightly hurt that in their close relationship she'd never let him in on this fact; especially when he'd told her of his sexual escapades many a time.
'His wandering hands didn't get very far.' She shook her head wincing at the memory 'The only reason they managed to wander was because you let me chug that Vodka.' She scowled at him lightening the mood.
'My bad.' He grinned cheekily 'But I did have to hold your hair the next morning when you threw up...on me.' Both chuckled at that reminiscing almost.
'But seriously Edward I was keeping myself for when that right guy came along...' He swallowed a baseball sized lump that happened to be clogging up his throat. He really wanted to have a child; something real to leave behind but he couldn't pressure her into it; he WOULDN'T. So he started up the car again and moved towards the flat at his usual rate.
'That doesn't mean we can't do this.' Bella explained as the world began to whiz by once again. She stared out at the blurred movements and lights. Her stomach twisted in nervousness and excitement for tonight...if he planned it for tonight 'I just...will be a little all over the place.'
Edward nodded blowing out a shaky breath 'I've never been with a virgin before Bells so just don't hate me if I'm a bit...forceful in movements.' They pulled up outside the apartment block and Edward stopped the engine just sitting back in his seat for a moment keys in hand.
She nodded 'When are we doing this?'
'Tomorrow night...if you're ready that is.' He looked at her sideways; looking for fear or regret. Neither was evident in her features.
'Ok.' She said sucking in a long breath before stepping out of the car. He watched her get out and make her way inside. He sat with his hands on the steering wheel for a long moment just preparing himself for the next few days. The list slid out of his pocket with ease as if telling him things would go well. He crossed out both the lines with his mini pen before replacing it in his pocket and following her.

Next Evening

She stood in the bathroom after taking a long luxurious bubble bath looking at herself in the mirror.
Gosh I look ridiculous She cursed in her mind Damn it Ange! How did you convince me to buy this crap? Earlier that day Angela, a friend from high school, had taken her out shopping; a girlie catch up really. However when Angela had popped into Victoria's Secret to buy underwear for her long term college boyfriend Ben, this time Bella followed her inside. This had been a surprise since she usually waited outside bright red with embarrassment at being within a stone's throw of the provocative shop.
'Getting laid are we?' Angela had winked walking towards a less 'scary' section for her best friend 'Who's the lucky guy?'
Bella bit her lip unsure whether or not if she should say something to her about the night's plan.
'Just a guy I met through Edward.' She said trying to sound off hand. Looking around her eyes set on a blue and black lace bra and matching underwear set.
'Oh that's pretty.' Angela agreed pulling Bella's size off the rack 'It's not padded either which is great.' Bella took it from her studying it as the other brunette headed off to find her own outfit in the more naughty section. She could definitely see herself in it over and over not just for that night but just casually. She needed to rid herself of the plain white things she wore with stars or something funny on such as Reindeer on saying 'Horney'. After a small debate in her mind she took it to the cash register.

'So what's Eddie think?' Angela asked while the cashier rung up their purchases.
'He suggested it.' She explained 'He really wanted me to have someone ya know?' She wasn't lying either just bending the truth a little. They decided not to tell anyone what was about to happen in case some smart person tried to talk them out of it which would be the likely outcome.
Angela nodded sadly 'How is he anyway? He's back at work too Carlisle told my dad.'
'Yeah he is just taking it a bit steadier now. Instead of jet setting all the time he interviews those in Seattle or through a webcam. He's got a doctor's appointment soon to find out how he's doing too.'
That thought scared her the most about their upcoming situation.
'Urgh.' She said staring at herself again in the mirror pulling back from the memories of the day 'This is such a stupid idea.' However she pulled on her dressing gown and opened the door 'Please Lord let this go well.'

The second she stepped from the room her bare feet touched the floor something crinkled beneath them. Frowning she looked down hoping it wasn't toilet paper or a tampon rapper; like she needed something so embarrassing at this moment. However she found a rose petal...and a few more after. It then occurred to her that there was low lighting; Edward hadn't installed a dimmer switch...looking around instead she found tea light candles scattered across the small hallway making a path with the roses. She wanted to laugh at the cheesiness but she couldn't because deep inside her she loved it; in fact somewhere inside it was a lot like she'd hoped it to be. A large smile graced her lips knocking back some of the anxieties holding her back. Just as she stepped into the dark living room piano music drifted towards her from the only source of light in another room. She blinked this music was not on a CD but live; being played at that exact moment.
'When I see your face! There's not a think that I would change...Cause your amazing, Just The Way You Are.' A voice sang softly but warmly from the room accompanying the piano. She blinked and moved closer to the room but slow so not to trip up 'And when you smile! The whole stops and stares; for a while. Cause girl you're amazing! Just. The. Way. You. Are..'

She walked into the room and gasped; it was beautiful. Silken white sheets lay across the bed with big comfortable looking pillows; one with a rose on top. Pink and white rose petals were scattered over the floor so much you could hardly see the carpet. Several large freesia scented candles circled the bed.
'Oh you know, you know, you know I'd never ask you to change.' Edward was sat half on the bed half off clad in only his Calvin Kline boxer shorts with a keyboard atop of his lap singing in a perfect voice that matched Jasper's.
They really are twins Her mind mused
'If perfects what your searching for then just say the same. So don't even bother asking if you look ok,' Edward winked at her knowing she'd be wearing something scary to her under the gown 'You know I say! When I see your face! There's not a think that I would change...Cause your amazing, Just The Way You Are.' She took him in as he continued to serenade her. She had always understood how women could and would fall at his feet with only a glance but now seeing him in almost his full glory she couldn't see how Tanya could even give him up. A weird feeling happened in the pit of her stomach something she knew to be arousal; from simply staring at him. although he was pale and thinner than he used to be due to the chemotherapy his stomach remained to be toned in a six pack. His hair gave off that messy sex look too and they'd not even started yet...she started blushing profusely when he caught her staring after the song ended.
'Sorry my keyboards taken I'm afraid. He married the piano last week but I'm still available.' He chuckled placing the keyboard down on its stand with his other musical creations 'Come here.' She walked over to him and sat down next to him on the bed.
'Damn,' She sighed playfully 'I really liked Mr Keyboard guess I'll just have to settle for you.'
He pouted playfully 'Ouch that really stung. Tell me if I'm moving too fast ok?' He begged seriously.
'Ok.' She answered as he moved her back to lie on the bed.

MORNING

'Jazz.' Petergroaned flipping his long hair behind him as they walked through the upmarket apartment block and ascended up the stairs 'It's 8 am what the fuck are we doing?'
'We're paying my brother a visit peter.' Jasper answered simply walking towards the door. Peter rolled his eyes and followed him.
'Jazz he ain't gonna open the door at this time in a morning.' He snorted until he watched his brother pull out a set of keys which he jangled.
'Idiot gave me a spare set while he was back in Forks.' He grinned 'So I can get in without his permission.' Peter sighed saying nothing else just feeling sorry for Edward and Bella.

Inside Bella lay on her side half awake with a slight smile on her face but her eyes closed. Behind her Edward lay, against her back with an arm around her waist he too was awake and happy. They'd enjoyed a good night as nothing more than friends but with a pleasurable side effect for both. Bella was still desperately sore but Edward had explained that to be normal last night and the pain of losing her Virginity hadn't been that bad at all in the end.
'Morning.' Bella finally said turning to look at Edward.
'Morning.' He grinned propping himself up on one elbow 'How're you feeling then?'
'Little sore but I guess that's to be expected really.' She nodded 'And a little hungry.'
'Me too actually.' He nodded rubbing his chin feeling the stubble growing already 'Scrambled eggs and bacon-'
'WAKE UP EDDIE AND BELLA I GOTS NEWS FOR YO- HEY WHATS WITH THE FUCKING ROSE AND CANDLE SHIT?' Jasper's voice boomed down the corridor.
The duo's eyes widened when his voice hit them 'Shit.' Bella hissed scrambling for her clothes. However Edward yanked her back and pulled the cover up around her hiding her from view down low in the bed. He heard a muffled insult hurled at her by him.
'Jazz? Shut up already it's eight am and I have a girl in here!' Edward snapped at his brother who walked into the room 'What do you want anyway?'
Peter shook his head 'Morning Ed I'll just wait for the douche outside.' Edward nodded a thanks to him.
'We got a gig next week!' Jasper grinned completely hyper over the aforementioned gig 'At Bad Juju!' He threw him two tickets 'Mom and dad are going so you and Bella best be going too! They usually have talent scouts and the likes there!'
'Is that all you burst in here for?' Edward groaned. Bella who's head rested on Edward's stomach at that moment in time almost copied the groan being hungry and sore. 'Because if it is; you damn well better give me back my keys.'
Jasper snorted and rushed out 'See you next week Eddie we're off to wake up Emmett next!'

Edward sat there for a moment hands cover his face 'That was close. You ok Bell?'
'Yeah, but can I come out now?' She asked throwing the blanket off her face. Edward nodded in reply throwing the blanket completely off to get dressed.
'So scrambled eggs and bacon it is then.'
