You like me! You really like me! Lola was so excited by all of the reviews and alerts that she chewed a hole in my down comforter, and unlike Bella, I was not amused when I woke up covered in feathers.

On the whole owning Twilight thing...yeah that would be a negative there ghost rider.

Cool finger tips softly brushed my hair off my neck before ghosting down my arm. The feel of soft lips pressed to my neck caused my eyes to flutter open. I continued to lay on my side with my back to the man behind me.

"I miss you." He whispered

"I miss feeling your soft skin." He said as he continued to gently run his fingers up and down my arm.

"I miss your smell." He said as he buried his nose in my hair and took a deep breath.

"I miss your taste." He said as he very lightly placed an open mouth kiss on the back of my neck.

I could feel myself start to melt under his touch and for the life of me, can't seem to understand how he has this hold over me. I don't want to be the needy, Bella who can't live without Edward, but right now, the strong, confident Bella was nowhere to be found.

"Why?" I managed to choke out as I felt tears begin to form in my eyes. His lips were so close to my ear, his breath gave me cold chills as he spoke, "Bella, I love you." I could feel my heart start to crumble.

"I love you with my entire being, you are my life, without you I am nothing." The tears fell now and I tried to slow my breathing but the place in my chest were my heart used to be burned with a pain that took my breath away.

"Please don't cry my sweet Bella." He whispered as he very softly wiped a tear away from my cheek. I rolled over to face him, to look in his eyes, to see if he truly meant the words he had just spoken to me. "Edward, I-" I was cut off by a bright light that startled me awake. As I lay in the empty bed and stare at the rising sun, I feel a tear roll down my cheek, and I realize, it was just a dream. "I love you, too."

I made my way to the shower to try to rid myself of the dream I'd just had and the brokenness it had caused to resurface in me. I stood under the hot water wanting so badly for it to wash the heartbreak and heaviness that hung over me down the drain. When the room was full of steam and the water began to run cold I got out of the shower. I wrapped myself in a towel and headed back across the hall to my room.

Any tension the shower had relieved was brought right back as I entered my room and Edward's ring-tone was playing. I glanced at the clock, he would be on his way to work right now. I knew he wouldn't have time to talk and was completely confused as to why he would call. Without thinking to much into it, I pressed the answer key, and held the phone to my ear.

"Hello? Edward?"

Silence.

"Hello? Helllooooo?"

"You know, if you would have let me shower alone we wouldn't be running late." I heard Edward's voice say but it was far away and muffled.

"We were conserving water." I heard a female voice giggle.

I realized right away what was going on. Edward was not calling to apologize and swear his love to me, no, no, no, that dumb ass had butt dialed me, and I was getting a play by play of just exactly how much he missed me. My sadness was quickly replaced with anger but before I had the chance to hang up, I heard the cum guzzler say something but all I caught was "Bella".

"Bella and I were over long ago. I tried to end it, I even went as far as kicking her out but she refused to leave. It was so sad to see her beg the way she did." Edward's voice was full of pity.

"How pathetic." the female added.

Oh hell no.

I immediately hung up and called Edward right back. Not surprisingly, he let it go straight to voice mail.

"You tell that cum guzzling slut the only person who is pathetic, is her because obviously she can't keep her legs closed, and next time you decide to shit talk me and bold face lie, make sure you don't butt dial me, you stupid, fucking, dick!" I yelled into the phone, causing Emmett to burst through the door to find the cause of such noise so early in the morning.

"What the fuck is going on?" Emmett trailed off as he took in my appearance. I realized then, that in the middle of my rant, my towel had fallen to the floor.

"Get out!" I yelled as I scrambled to shield myself from Emmett. He quietly left the room, blushing a deep red and closing the door behind him.

"You've got to be fucking kidding me." I mumbled to myself before getting dressed and heading down stairs.

Not making eye contact with any of my roommates, I quickly made my way to the coffee pot before pouring my self a cup and heading towards the porch.

"Bell, I'm so sor-" I cut Emmett off before he could apologize.

"Consider us even." I said flatly as I walked out of the house. Alice joined me shortly.

"Do you want to talk about it?"

"Nope."

"We still on for tonight?"

"Yep."

"Ok, well I'm gonna head to work. If you need anything call me." I looked up at her then.

"Thanks Alice, for everything."

Shortly after Alice left, Rose and Emmett followed, heading to their jobs as well. The house was quiet except for Lola's soft snoring downstairs. I decided to take the time to unpack. When I re-entered my room, I saw that I had a missed call from Edward. I couldn't help but wonder if he was returning my phone call or if it was his ass again.

As I unpacked, I realized I had left my phone charger at Edwards, fan fucking tastic. Since I was heading into town anyways, I decided to see how the house was on groceries. Of course Alice and Rose would have the place stocked but I did notice we were about out of milk and eggs. Emmett must have been trying to make up with me still since he was the one to leave his jeep for me to use for the day.

I made my way into Forks deciding it would be easier to hit the super wal*mart and get everything all in one place instead of going to two different stores. When Charlie had called a few months ago to tell me Forks was getting a superstore, you would have thought the president was coming to town. I've never heard Charlie so excited about anything in my life. Leave it to the simple things to excite anyone in a small town.

Well, almost anyone. Alice and Rose refused to shop there, they had said they watched some documentary on the foul placed and they had all of their items manufactured in sweat shops and they treated their employees like shit. I would have to be sure to destroy the evidence.

I walked towards the electronics department first. When I couldn't find the charger to fit my phone, I turned to the closest employee.

"Excuse me, could you help me? I'm looking fo-"

Oh, fuck, the bitch and I said in unison.

"Bella? Bella Swan? Oh my god! How are you? It's me, Mike, Mike Newton?" Oh yeah I know who you are. The dork that constantly asked me out every opportunity he had in high school, and couldn't take a fucking hint to save his life.

"I barely recognized you, how are you?" I plastered what I hoped looked like a genuine smile on my face and went in for a hug.

What. The fuck. Are you doing?

"I'm great. What brings you back to Forks? I heard you were living in Seattle." You didn't hear shit, you're on my facebook dumb ass. You should probably delete him.

"I just moved back actually."

"We should get together sometime." Oh my god, dude, really? You haven't given up yet? Before I could think of an easy way to let him down, I was saved by a voice that could have belonged to Jesus himself.

"Mike, please come to the curtisey desk. Mike to the curtisey desk"

"Well, I got to go but we should really catch up sometime. Lacey? Could you come help this fine, young lady over here?" Mike called to his fellow wal8mart associate before winking at me and leaving.

Oh, I think I just threw up a little.

After quickly grabbing the correct phone charger for my phone, I walked as fast as I could to the food section so I could get the hell out of there before Mike was done with his call and came searching for me. I had this feeling he was gonna hunt me down first chance he had.

I grabbed my eggs and milk and headed toward the check out as fast as I could without taking off into a full out sprint. I kept looking over my shoulder trying to spot Mike before he spotted me, that way I could make a mad dash in to a rack of clothes if necessary. When

*SMACK*

I ran into an end cap, except this end cap was warm and is that muscle I'm feeling? Before my eggs fell to the ground a toned, tanned, arm reached out and grabbed them, dropping what he had been carrying.

"Oh my god, I'm so sorry." I said as my eyes trailed up the arm extended in front of me and took in the massive wall of muscle.

Holy sex on two legs batman!

The "wall" I had run into was the most beautiful man I had ever laid eyes on. The definition of tall, dark and handsome. His eyes were so dark, they almost looked black. My eyes rested on his full, lips as they pulled back into a blinding smile.

AND he has nice teeth, give him your number. The bitch said as she pulled out her vibrator.

"No problem." Sex on two legs replied in a husky voice. The bitch was working on her second orgasm by the sound of his voice alone.

"Um, is that Frankenberry?"

Way to start a conversation, dumb ass.

He let out a deep, throaty, chuckle. The bitch quickly returned to her vibrator.

"Actually, yes. It's my favorite and I can only find it this time of year."

"Well, thank you for saving my eggs."

And ruining my panties.

"Dude." Some young guy yelled for the sexy creature. He nodded, flashing that blinding smile again before walking away.

I stood frozen, in a trance, watching hot, sex man's ass walk away from me and disappear around a corner. I heard Usher's song OMG start playing.

What a fitting song. The bitch sighed as she came down from her high. I was pulled out of my trance, when I realized that song was not in my head, but was my phone ringing.

"Bella." Alice's voice sang when I picked up.

"Please don't tell me you're canceling on me tonight." I asked as I hurried to the front of the store.

"Oh, god no, and sense when were you all excited about going out? I figured we were gonna have to drag you out tonight."

"Alice, I just ran into some of that rez eye candy Rose was talking about last night, and momma's got a sweet tooth."
