Closet Porn Star

Where have I seen her before?

Chapter One

E pov

The house next door has finally sold and I watch as my mother bakes cookies for our new neighbors. She insists that everyone deserves a 'Welcome to the neighborhood' gift but I know better. My mother is extremely nosy and most likely going to give the town the gossip that they so desperately desire.

I run my hands through my hair; attempting to straighten it somewhat out before I introduce myself next door but it's useless. It will always be untamed. I can thank my mother's genes for that one.

Its times like these that I wish I moved out when my siblings did. I'm twenty-one and live at home with my mom and Dad. If that doesn't scream "Single", I don't know what will.

When my sister, Alice and her boyfriend, Jasper got engaged, our parents bought them a house. Granted it's across the street from us, but it's still a house none the less.

When our older brother Emmett decided to move in with his long time girlfriend, Rosalie, our parents said "Oh, we'll just buy you the house next door from Alice and Jasper. We want you to be closer and not twenty minutes away. Rosalie's apartment is too tiny for the both of you." Rose and Emmett weren't about to pass up an opportunity for a free house and she now lives in luxury so who would want to complain?

So now, we all practically live together. I should have asked my parents to move out but I know they won't let me go just yet… even if I do only end up across the street. They say I need to be more stable and find a 'lovely girl'. Yeah… like that will ever happen.

Until then, I have to deal with being treated like a child, still hold onto my V card and not have a girlfriend because I, Edward Cullen still live at home with my parents.

It's a wonderful life.

…

"Sweetheart, they're almost ready." My mother calls from the kitchen. "Why don't you put on that blue sweater I bought you last Christmas? It looks lovely on you."

"Sure Mom." I sigh knowing it's useless to fight with her. "Are you sure I can't just stay here?"

"No." She says sternly. "I'd like to make a great impression and who knows… maybe there is a lovely girl next door."

"Mom…" I groan. "How many times do I have to-"

"Calm down." She smiles as she walks into the living room with a basket full of freshly baked cookies. "I'm just saying. I don't want my little boy to miss out on true love, that's all."

I choose to ignore Suzie Homemaker and put on the ugly blue sweater that is lying across the back of the couch. I haven't worn this thing for a reason and I know I look like a blueberry right now.

Willy Wonka, here I come…

"Oh, Edward." She beams. "I love it on you."

"Mhm. Let's just get this over with. I really hope an old couple moved in."

"Oh please." She scoffs. "What kind of old couple would buy a three story house? This is someone young and rich."

I give her a look and roll my eyes. "C'mon, mom. Let's just go."

"I'm serious. A mother knows and that is definitely no old couple."

It's probably true. We live on the outskirts of Forks, Washington where all the wealthy people seem to have all huddled together in buying expensive homes. Anyone who has ever moved in were either young and just starting their lives or looking for a small piece of heaven in a small town. I don't know what's so special about Forks, though. I can't wait to get out of here.

…

Standing behind my mother, I watch as she rings the doorbell a total of three times and plasters on one of her smiles; the kind that is reserved for special occasions such as this.

"You'll see, Edward. I'm always right."

This is where Alice gets her 'intuition' from. She and our Mother both believe that we come from a long line of clairvoyant people. Next, they will be telling me that Vampires exist and want a bottle of my blood.

"Sure mom." I sigh, yet again for the millionth time today.

The door suddenly swings open to reveal a young brunette… aka; Sex on legs standing in the doorway. She has a heart shaped face and full pouty red lips. She has ample cleavage that is exposed from her thin tank top and her shorts are so small, revealing so much of her long and toned legs that I find myself drooling on my ugly sweater.

"Hello." My mother beams brightly, playing the part of the dutiful neighbor. "I'm Esme Cullen from next door and this is my son, Edward. Don't mind him. He is terribly shy. We brought over fresh baked cookies. I hope you like chocolate chip." She says it all in a rush and thrusts the basket in the girls hands and I wish the ground would swallow me up already.

"Uh…" the beauty stands there wide eyed and jaw slack, not knowing what to say. She clearly wasn't expecting a greeting from a neighbor and probably thinks we're crazy. "Thank you?"

"Oh, you are quite welcome dear. Do you live with your parents?" My mother asks, not understanding the concept of 'personal space'.

"Uh, No, I don't. Thank you for the cookies, though… and Edward?"

My eyes snap up from her legs to drown in her beautiful chocolate eyes; I melt instantly. "Yes?"

"Thank you as well… for the cookies."

"Oh, you're welcome." I mumble, feeling my cheeks burn.

"I'm sorry but I really have to go. I'm already late for an appointment. I'll talk to you guys later?"

She doesn't seem like she wants to talk to us. She's probably playing the part of the friendly neighbor when all she wants to do is run and hide.

I hope she doesn't call the cops.

"Of course dear. We're the house with the Mercedes in the driveway." My mother beams while jerking her thumb to the side of her for emphasis. "And if my husband and I aren't home, Edward always is."

Subtle, mother. Thanks.

"Ok. That is definitely noted. Have a nice day." She says, while looking right at me.

"You too." I smile shyly.

"Oh!" My mother exclaims, scaring this poor girl to death and nearly me as well in the process. "What is your name?"

"Bella."

So, I hope you like it :)

It's a bit different than I usually right but I've been writing at a bunch of different angles lately.

Oh and it's and Edward/Bella story, too! Haven't had one of those in a while.

This is all human as well so that's definitely new. Hopefully this will be alright.

Please read and review! I want to know what you think!

Love ya guys!
