WOW! That is all I can say! Wow, what a response to the last chapter. Thank you all so much for the love and kindness you left me. I am so glad you all liked it.
Not a whole lot to say today. I will not be posting again until maybe Sunday night. Tomorrow is date night with the hubby and he is taking me to see Breaking Dawn Part2! I am a lucky girl. Vampires, wolves, and my best guy all in one place...SIGH!
So, big loves to hapakids for being an awesome beta and keeping me on my toes. And of course, thank you to Stephanie M for she is a the awesome owner of Twilight.

Two Months Later
"Beautiful legs Isabella." I hear Madame Irina say. "That will be it for today class. I want you all to rest and relax this weekend. No drinking. We have stage rehearsals and dress rehearsals all of next week. Greatwork today everyone." She says while giving us a round of applause, the entire class joins in.
I walk to my bag in the corner of the room and bend to get my water bottle and towel. I take a long drink and then wipe myself down. "You are coming with us tonight aren't you Bells?" I hear my friend Erik asking.
"Where are you going, again?"
"Notsure yet, anywhere we can get in I suppose."
"Who is all going?"
"The usual people, me, Tyler, Ben, Mike, Jessica, Lauren."
"Ummm, OK, but only for a little while. I will be the DD since I know I am the only one who..." I stop and give him my bitch brow, "...you could pay attention to me while I offer you a safe ride home, ass!" I say wile slapping his arm.
"Huh? Oh, sorry just looking at the damn fine piece of ass that just walked into the studio. Please be gay. Please be gay. Please, please, please be gay." Erik prays. I turn around to see the bronze haired, green eyed man who is my best friend, and boyfriend of two months. Ever since I ended up in the hospital Edward and I have been glued to each other, getting to know the boyfriend/girlfriend side of each other.
I smirk at Erik. "I can assure you he is not gay. Sorry Erik!"
"Damn it! Wait! Is that..."
"Edward, yes." I answer as I watch Edward watching us.
"I will see you tonight at...say...10?"
"Just let me know where." I say still looking at Edward. His green eyes, piercing into me.
When I hear the studio door close I walk to Edward. "See something you like?"
"Hmm, it has been far too long since I have seen you in dance clothes." He says as I approach him. I see his eyes running up and down my body. I am in my standard dance gear, pale pink tights, a black tank style leo, and my pointe shoes. As I get to him I run my hand down the collar of his suit jacket. In an instant his hands are on the back of my thighs and lifting me up, bringing my legs around his waist. I gasp at the quickness of it all. "**Pericoloso, vixen, pericoloso." [Dangerous, dangerous vixen.] He whispers before his lips are on mine. Soon his tongue is in my mouth and our tongues begin a sexy ballet full of lust and love. His hands gripping into my ass as he walks us to the nearest wall and he grinds his hardness into my center. I pull on his hair as we kiss getting a low moan from him that prompts a moan of my own. Suddenly I am very aware of where we are and I pull back from him.
"Edward, mmm… God, Edward, stop." I plead as he kisses down my neck and across my chest, attempting to get to my breasts. "We are in my class's studio. We can't do this here."
He pulls back from me, staring into my eyes leaning his forehead onto mine. Taking a deep breath, "You, my love, are a dangerous creature in this dance gear." And as soon as I was wrapped around him, I am on my feet. "Are you hungry, Love? Would you like to grab some food and then go back to my place?"
"Actually, I promised Erik that I would join him and the rest of the crew to go out dancing tonight." I say as we cross back to my bag. I drop to the floor and begin to untie my pointe shoes. "We have stage rehearsals all next week and none of us will not like dancing all that much. So we want to go and let off some steam." I begin putting away my dance shoes and pulling out my sweat pants pulling them on while slipping on my UGG boots. Edward helps me stand.
"Where are you going dancing at?"
"I'm notsure, yet. Where ever we can get in, is what Erik said. It is Friday, so most places will be packed to the gills." I say pulling on my hoodie.
"You do know that I own Eclipse right?" He smirks at me.
"Yes, but..." I begin, but he cuts me off.
"No, but's Bella...for heaven's sakes!" He pulls out his phone and makes a call he picks up my bag and we make our way out of the studio. "Tanya, I need you to reserve the top floor of the VIP lounge for me tonight. Isabella is coming in with some friends who want to dance. Have Kate as the waitress the entire night. Everything they order is on me. Have a table set with food as well. That's it, thanks!" He ends the call and looks at me.
"Will you be at the club tonight?"
"I will be now. I was going to just work from home later tonight. But now I have an excuse to be at the office. What time do you want the car to take you?"
"Erik said ten? Is that OK?"
"It's fine Bella." He laughs. "I'll drop you off at your apartment now so you can get ready."
"OK." I say as I start to text Erik the details.
We are at the car and I see Felix jump out and open the back door for us. "What's shaken Felix?" I ask.
"Nada, Bella. Same ole."
"How is the girlfriend?"
He just laughs.
"Got rid of her already, huh?"
"She got all clingy, asking to move in with me. I had to cut her loose."
I laugh out loud and roll my eyes as I climb in the back seat. I hear Edward tell him to take us to my place. Edward climbs in next to me and I lie down beside him and put my head in his lap and yawn. "Tired love?" He asks.
"Yeah, I am in five of the ten numbers for the semester showcase. My ass is draggin." I reply. "I think I will nap when I get home before I go out. I was actually planning to eat and then fall asleep on your couch with you tonight, but then Erik invited me out."
"If you don't want to go out love, they will still get into the club without you. I promise you that."
"I know they would. But, I don't usually go out with them much. I think I need this. I really need to blow off some pent up stress before I take the stage next week."
"Are stage rehearsals really that bad?"
"HA! You have no idea! I think I would rather go out on business with you and Carlisle then have to go through stage rehearsals!"
"What makes it so bad? I mean you have been rehearsing these numbers for a while. I mean, I know you had to take some time off while you were in the hospital and then recouping, I can't imagine you not knowing these routines inside and out."
"It isn't the routines, that are bad," I say sitting up next to him, stretching my legs out over his. "We have been rehearsing to a recorded score. Once we hit the stage we have the actual orchestra. The tempo and timing can be totally off, especially if for some reason the conductor doesn't like you. So, what I have been rehearsing to at one tempo could actually change once I hit the stage."
"Why can't you just correct the conductor?"
"Because, that would be like if you were to correct Carlisle out on a job." At this explanation I see Edward cock his eyebrow and chuckle a little. "The conductor is the one person you don't want to piss off. He can make or break a dancer's performance."
"Hmm, well then..."
I cut him off because, it hits me instantly what he is thinking, "No way Cullen! You will not threaten the conductor. Just let it be." I say giving him a stern look. I hear Felix laughing, up front.
"What makes you think I was going to threaten your conductor?"
"Because, I have known you since we were kids. I know how your mind works, Edward."
Felix laughs again.
"Something you find funny, Felix?" Edwards asks.
"She has your number, boss. There are two people I know not to piss off in this family, Esme and Bella." Felix answers, "I want to live, and to one day have kids."
I smile and laugh a little at that. As we pull up to the front of my building, I see Alice standing out front with shopping bags and a garment bag. "Damn it, Erik and his big mouth. How did she get here so damn fast?"
"Maybe, she just went shopping. Doesn't she do that every day?" Edward asks.
"Yes, she does. But she has her make-up bag also, so that means I won't even be getting a nap. It means she is going to play Bella Barbie with me until the car comes to get us."
"Bella, I am so excited about tonight! We are going to have the best time!" I hear her screech as I climb out of the car as Edward holds the door open.
"I think I will call and invite Rose tonight. I am sure she could use a night out from the baby." I say leaning into the car for a hug.
"I am sure she will love it. I'll make sure Emmett knows." He says leaning to give me a kiss.
"I'll see you tonight, Baby." I say taking my dance bag from him.
"Can't, wait. Bye Alice." He says as he climbs back into the car. I wave to Felix as they drive off.
I stand there for a second and watch the black SUV drive off. I am broken from my gaze as Alice squeals, "I am so excited about tonight! Erik sent me a text saying we are going dancing at Eclipse! This is beyond amazing." I feel her start to pull my arm up the stairs to the door. "Come on girlie, we've only got six hours until the car comes! The beautification needs to begin!"
She talks nonstop as we climb the stairs to reach my fourth floor apartment. Once inside I collapse on the couch, she begins setting up her 'work station'. I busy myself calling Rosalie to see if she wants to join us, which she does! I am excited to see her. I haven't seen her much since little Miss Lily was born.
Soon my tiny living room is filled with makeup, hair products, amazingly beautiful dresses and shoes. "So, you and Edward seem to be going pretty strong." She states. I can't help but smile at her statement. "Yeah, I really thought it would be weird, but it honestly hasn't. I don't think I have ever felt more comfortable being so close with a guy."
"Just how close are you two?" She asks wiggling her eye brows at me.
I start to blush! "Nothingmore than kissing and occasionally some heavy petting. He said that he is letting me set the pace. He has been nothing less than the gentleman that I know him to be." I let out a long sigh. "GAH! Alice! It is complicated. I am not a virgin, but it is Edward, and I know he is far beyond a virgin. I listened to him sneak girls into his room for years. Not to mention the countless girls he has had on his arm since he started working with Carlisle."
"What does that matter?"
"UUUGGGHHH! It doesn't matter, it is just...I feel so inexperienced. I mean I have been with two people. Both of whom pretty much only ever wanted to get themselves off. Not much foreplay, not much...play either."
"Are you fucking kidding!?" I just shook my head no. "Have you and Edward talked about this?"
"No, I am not really sure how to bring it up. How do I not sound pathetic stating that I have not had an orgasm? Even for the best of friends, that is just awkward."
"You're telling me."
"You are beyond my best friend. The first day we met you grabbed my breasts in the ladies room and showed me how to make them look better in the sweater I was wearing. You don't give me the option to feel awkward!"
"Ha! I remember that! You have great breasts. You just needed a little guidance with them!" She paused for a moment, "So really, you have never had an orgasm?"
"No!"
"I am sure Prince Edward could change that."
"Alice! Enough! I am going to take a shower and then let you have your way with me." I got up walking into my bathroom I hear Alice singing 'Tonight's gonna be a good night' and I can't help but think, even though I am dead tired, yes, tonight is going to be a good night!
So what did you think? I promise, the next chapters will be fun and next week we will finally get to some lemony goodness! If you have the time, leave me some love. Good night everyone and have a great weekend. Get out there and see Breaking Dawn Part2!
