When I opened my eyes the first thing I saw was the Edwards face. He was sitting on the chair next to my bed and for a minute I almost slapped myself. In the hospital again? But then I felt the bed and actually looked around. No, I was still in Edwards's house.

"I really don't think you should go to work tomorrow." He said in a whisper.

"Edward, I'll be fine. Please, I don't know what I'll do all day here alone"

"You don't have to be alone if you don't want to…" he wasn't looking at me when he said that. Did he mean…"If you ask me, I would stay with you?" His green eyes burned on mine. This dizziness has to do with the stitches and concussion right? He was looking at me expectantly, was I supposed to do? Say 'No I don't want you to stay with me'? I'd have to really have gone crazy to say that.

"I'll take care of you," okay, yeah. Definitely would be crazy to deny his offer. Where had this side of him come from? The tender, sweet, caring Edward. Where did the grumpy, serious, tired Mr. Cullen go? "You can say no…though I'd rather you said yes…" he said interrupting my thoughts. His voice sounded a bit urgent.

"Well, if you put it that way, I think another day off would be great. I need a break from a very grumpy man I have as a boss you know? He gives me headaches!" I rather answer in a playful way, than be so intense like he is. It scares me sometimes, but…I like it. It worked because it lightened the moment and he laughed.

"Well then I'm glad you would rather spend time with me than your grumpy boss, but he can't be all that bad." He said going along with my joke. I laughed too. "Besides, I haven't been doing too bad taking care of you, did pretty good last night if I may say so myself." Flashes of last night came back. Me in the bed talking to Esme, then me in the bathroom.

"Oh gosh! You were the one who held my hair back?" when he confirmed my worst fears I closed my eyes in horror. "I'm so sorry you had to see that." I heard him chuckle.

"I didn't actually see anything, I just saw you." Back to the intensity I see… how would I survive here with him? When he saw I didn't answer, he looked down and put his hand on mine.

"Well, umm, I should go rest now it's late. Feel better, Bella" he leaned in to kiss my forehead and my stomach flipped. I'd have to tame these butterflies. He stepped back and started walking to the door, and I had a sudden outburst.

"Edward, stay with me tonight?" he stopped walking.

"You sure about that, Bella?" he said still turned away. "Because I honestly don't know if I can stop myself from kissing you any longer." He wanted to kiss me? The butterflies were doing flips and flying all over.

"Then don't." I whispered. I realize it could be interpreted in different ways so I continued. "Don't stop yourself anymore." He finally turned, then slowly walked back to the bed without speaking. He struggled before he got on the bed, but eventually he did. When he got close, I thought he would kiss me, but he didn't he just put his arm around me. I placed my head on his chest comfortably. He brushed my hair with his fingers softly and then I felt…his lips? Did he kiss my head?

"What are you thinking?" he whispered.

"I'm thinking that I could get used to this." Crap. I hadn't meant to say that I just didn't want to say I was thinking about his lips. He was silent for a minute but it seemed so long that I started to worry. When he took his arm away from my shoulders, I was really worried, then he lifted my face. He looked at me in the eyes for a long second, then leaned in slowly, as if not sure I wanted him to. His breath was on my face, my lips parted and he kissed them. He kissed my upper lip then the corner of my lips. It was killing me. I just let him lead, and good thing too because I was frozen. When he sucked on my bottom lip, the butterflies almost exploded in happiness.

He held back for a moment and looked at me. "I would hope you can get used to this, because it sure will happen more often now that you got me started." I laughed, then stopped on my tracks. Where had that flirtatious laugh come from? I had my hand on my mouth from the shock. He took my hand and kissed it then kissed my lips as he smiled. "So, you have a sexy laugh. What else are you hiding from me Isabella?" he was now trailing kisses from my cheek to my neck and biting my ear lobe.

"I don't know, why don't we find out?" when I said that, I kind of regret it saying it. I saw hunger in his eyes. Then suddenly he kissed me, very passionately.

"Not so sick now are you Bella?" I couldn't even breathe anymore. My hands were on his hair, his arms started to go under my shirt and that brought me back.

"Wait, Edward. ..Hold on …a minute… please…"I almost couldn't even tell him to stop, wasn't sure I wanted him to, but he listened. He didn't take his hand away but he stopped moving it up, and he just laid his head on my shoulder where I could hear his ragged breath.

"You don't play fair Bella," he said and chuckled. "You expect me to stay the night, and not do anything after you tease me this way?" I bit my lip and he laughed. "That's what I'm talking about right there." He said and kissed then bit my bottom lip. I let him kiss me because honestly, it felt so good to have him close. What was this feeling? His T-shirt on the floor now, I could feel his smooth yet muscular chest; his strong back. He kissed my neck then my head started spinning and I stopped everything.

Edward noticed I drifted away and immediately stopped, when he saw my fatigued face he frowned. "I'm doing horrible with this taking care of you business." I shook my head but I was too out of breath and dizzy to answer. He moved to the side, I hadn't even noticed him on top of me. We lay on the bed, catching our breaths for a few minutes then he turned his head towards mine so I turned too.

"Are you okay?" he asked now with worry in his eyes, when I nodded he took my hand. Without another word he scoot closer and cuddled me in his arms and I turned so that my back was to him and his arms around me. We fit so well together. We laid in the dark in silence for a long time. I thought he had fallen asleep.

"At least now, you won't be lying to Alice...technically, we are sleeping together right now." I just smiled, though he couldn't see me. "And you have some…actual scenes to describe in detail for her." I turned my head to the side in a swift move. Bad idea.

"Ow!" my head started spinning again.

"Take it easy, I'm just teasing you in a healthy way." He chuckled. This time I laughed silently. "See? At least I can make you laugh," when he finished his sentence he kissed my bare shoulder and I shuddered.

Edward thinking I was cold, put the blanket over me, well, us.

"What's going on between us right now Edward?" I don't know what made me ask that question, I guess i really wanted to know. He was quiet for a minute.

"What do you want us to be?" he was kind of asking me my own question.

"I don't know, I mean, wouldn't it make things awkward at the office?" I was playing with his fingers because I was nervous now…

"Why would it?" the butterflies went wild. I waited in silence, then turned to face him slowly. He scoot back a bit so I'd have room to turn then put his arms tight around me. I didn't say anything I just stared at him and he stared back. Then caressed my face ever so softly.

"Isabella Marie Swan, would you do me he honor of being my date to the office's anniversary party this weekend?" my eyes went wide open and I swallowed. What day was today?

"But.." what if all this was a dream? Gosh when was the last time stitches made me so happy?

"No buts Bella, it's either yes or no."

"Then, since I have no choice. Yes." He gave me a crooked smile and I melted, but then he kissed me and ..well, I boiled. After a minute he stopped himself and smiled as he snuggled and closed his eyes.

"Sweet dreams," I did have very sweet dreams.

The alarm woke me up very early of course. My head hurt, oh what a dream. I opened my eyes and shut off the alarm. Wouldn't it be funny if my dream was actually real?

I was chuckling and smiling at the possibility when I heard the door open and I turned. This wasn't my room. Edward walked in with a tray.

"Oh, sorry I thought you would still be sleeping." He said smiling. I just looked at him confused. "Are you feeling alright?" I looked around the room and sat up.

"I just have a headache, not too bad." So it wasn't a dream. Edward walked towards me and sat on the bed and put the little table on my lap.

"This should help you, have some breakfast and take your pills." I looked at the tray. WOW. Well I felt I was in a restaurant and I was paying for a buffet!

"I could never finish this!"

"Well you better finish it, or I won't let you go to work" I looked at him sharply. I was no kid! His face softened at my frustration and he leaned in.

"I'm not trying to treat you like a child Bella, but you're sick and need this. Please, just humor me" then he kissed my forehead, and stood up. "Your things are in the closet. Meet me downstairs in about an hour and a half?" All I could do was nod. As soon as he stepped out I smiled hugely. Edward was taking care of me. He brought me breakfast to bed! Oh, what a dream come true!

I ate, took my pills, and then went to get ready. It felt a bit weird that I didn't hang my clothes yet they were perfectly organized. I picked out a nice black pencil skirt and a white satin blouse. Alice, for gosh sake! All I saw were heels! I looked and looked, and...BINGO! Some flats! Heels would definitely be a bad idea with these headaches. I showered quickly, dried my hair. Thank you Alice for packing the hair dryer and straightener! I fixed my hair so the stitches wouldn't show, it didn't look bad.

I decided to play it cool with a bit of eye shadow, mascara and a bit of lip gloss nothing else. I then walked out and down the stairs. Edward was waiting at the end of the stairs wearing his usual working outfit, and very handsome. He turned, saw me and smiled. Good thing I was almost at the bottom because I started getting dizzy when he put those gorgeous eyes on me. He stretched out his hand for me and I took it.

"For some reason I've never told you, but you look so beautiful in your work clothes. Well in everything really." I smiled hugely and blushed. I was going to tell him how I thought he was the most gorgeous guy on Earth, but I thought it would be too much so I just didn't say anything. He smiled and we walked out. Once in the car there was silence, but a comfortable silence.

"Thank you for breakfast" I said after a bit and he glanced at me

"I believe you already thanked me, but it wasn't any trouble really."

"Amanda cooks like an angel, it was so good" he chuckled at my enthusiasm

"I'm glad you liked it, though it wasn't Amanda who made it" I looked at him confused. Who else would make it? Another lady?

"Then...who?"

"Believe it or not, I did it" my eyes went huge and my mouth dropped.

"You cook?" Gorgeous, great cook, and rich? Gosh. He laughed at my exclamation.

"Yes, Bella. I cook"

"Wow." He smiled and we didn't say anything for the rest of the ride. He parked and opened my door then we walked to the elevator. Now I was beginning to feel nervous. I was hoping there was no one in the office yet but with so many cars parked I doubted I was right. They would see us walk in together and speculate, gossip. I hated the attention. And I realized I would most definitely have the attention because when we walked out of the elevator and to the office every single eye stared.

Edward didn't say anything, he had a neutral expression. I was more or less blushing. Well, more than less blushing. I was letting him go into his office so I stepped out to go get his coffee, but I felt him holding my arm lightly.

"Where are you going?" he asked softly. I kind of shivered at his touch.

"To get your coffee…?" it sounded like a question, but he didn't say anything he just smiled and let go of my arm. I walked out and again, all eyes on me. I really hoped there was no one by the coffee machine. And my hoping was in vain. Mike was standing there. I couldn't turn around without the coffee. For chriss sake! What was wrong with me! It was just coffee! Mike finished and turned to walk away. When he saw me he smiled.

"Good morning Bella, looking kind of pale this morning are you alright?" was he referring to my nervousness from the whole walking in with my boss? NO don't be stupid Bella, you were sick yesterday!

"Oh, it's nothing I'm usually pale. Good morning to you too" I stepped up to the machine and began making the coffee hoping he'd go away.

"You know, I'm not trying to be noisy really I'm not. But everyone is gossiping about you coming in with Mr. Cullen." Of course. I bit my lip but didn't respond. "They…uh..they're wondering…well. Ugh they're saying that you guys had, you know…?" I turned in a swift movement which was a bad idea because I got dizzy and fell on my butt. They thought we had sex? Oh gosh not more people! Now seriously everyone thought we had sex! I stayed on the floor trying to see less than two Mikes.

"Bella? Are you alright?" I saw Mike kneel down and then he touched my face. I just nodded.

"Bella?" to make matters worse. DAMMIT! This could not be happening. Edward ran to me with a worried expression, moving Mike to the side. "What's wrong? Are you feeling sick?" his hands were all over my face, checking for temperature, soothing me.

"I'm fine, just moved too fast and got a bit dizzy nothing major." I saw Edward extend both his arms towards me.

"I can walk! Its fine" he didn't look too convinced but he gave me a hand and helped me stand. Mike was just standing there still worried.

"You should see a doctor Bella" I heard Mike say.

"I did, don't worry I'm fine thanks Mike" Edward began to walk me out of the little longue.

"Wait your coffee!" I tried to turn but he stopped me.

"Forget the coffee, you're going back to the house." I turned to him in terror.

"NO! I can't I have to work, I'm just going to be more careful okay?" he didn't look sure but didn't argue as we stepped in his office. He closed the door behind us. He lead me to a chair then sat on the chair next to me. I felt like a stupid child.

"I don't mean to treat you like a kid, Bella. I just worry about your health" he said it in almost a whisper.

"You know, it's happening again." He looked at me confused.

"What's happening again?"

"They all think we had sex," I couldn't read his expression, I was kind of worried.

"Does it matter what they think? We know what really happened." He was right of course, but that didn't mean that it didn't bother me that they talked about me like if I was a whore. Having sex with my boss.

"They're probably thinking that that was why he kept me around so long, because I am some cheap whore who worked her way by getting in your bed and now I don't know if I can stay here in the office with everyone talking so bad and giving me looks. I'm not a freaking slut Edward and I hate the fact that they think that. Even if I don't care what they think, I have my dignity and—" his lips crashed with mine and I forgot what I was so strongly arguing for. Then the phone rang, and it broke the kiss. He sat where he was for a second and even though I was his secretary, he answered the phone.

I did not pay attention to him talking on the phone, I was currently spacing out, then I remembered something and turned around. Of course. The blinds were open, and everyone. EVERYONE, was staring inside. I turned back to Edward who had just hung up with-for the hundredth time this day-horror. He saw my face and then looked at the window.

"Bella who cares?" he said exasperated. "We're dating, not having sex. They can think what they want, as a matter of fact, let's give them something to talk about!" I saw it coming but before I could say anything or even move he put his arms around me and kissed me again. I lost my train of thought again. The kiss lasted just a minute really. When he broke off he smiled and caressed my face.

"There, now they can talk even more if they want. It's none of their business as long as I pay them." So easy for him to say, they won't talk dirty about him. But damn it, why would we have to hide? I smiled back.

"What's on today's agenda for work Mr. Cullen?"

HAHA! Not trying to sound cocky but I like how this chapter ends xD

Anyway, please review! I love it when I get reviews!

Always,
