I would have thought Bella being my girlfriend would have made her lighten up on me a bit with working on my house.

It didn't.

She was pushing me just as hard, if not harder, than before. Thankfully I had Emmett with me today to help us along.

We had finally progressed to working on the second floor of my home. The first half the hallway had been cleared and we were working on my home office.

Emmett was being his usual jokester self and made some offhand comment about Bella and I and how my bedroom was right across the hall.

I couldn't help but notice how Bella's face flushed at what Emmett said, and she seemed a bit distracted after that. Admittedly I was too…stupid Shake Weight fantasy was going to be the death of me…especially when it started blending with thoughts of having Bella in my bed…with me…with no clothes on.

We kept working, and at one point Bella was completely in a world of her own.

"Bella…Bella!" Emmett said loudly, trying to get her attention. "Are you okay? I need to know where we're putting all those CuddleUppets we're getting rid of. You seemed a million miles away right now."

"Oh…yes…I um was just thinking…and I'm looking forward to a hoarder in my box," Bella replied.

"Oh really?" Emmett asked with a smirk.

"I…I mean you can put your brother's hoarded items in that box over there," Bella tried to backpeddle.

I tried not to laugh, but I couldn't help it which in turn caused Emmett and Bella to laugh as well.

We finished up our work not long after that and Bella and Emmett left for the day.

That night, as I settled into bed, I couldn't help but smile as I realized that Bella wanted me, and from the way she kept looking at my bedroom this afternoon, she wants me as much as I want her.

Perhaps it was time to make a move…
