Chapter 7 Teaser

I shifted my eyes slightly to the space between us, looking for it. I noticed it right by his leg and noted that this could go a few ways. I could miss and grab him instead. I could grab the remote and he would attack. Or I could grab the remote and run away. I bit down on my lip as I contemplated. This would have to be a Chuck Norris move if there ever was one, but it had to be done. I don’t even think Chuck himself would caught in a movie like this. It actually made me want to watch a Steven Segal movie.

I cleared my throat and kept watching the remote. I held my breath and in one swift move reached for the remote. I smiled to myself when I felt my fingers wrap around it. My smile faded when I felt Edward’s fingers wrap around my wrist.

“What the hell do you think you’re doing?” He asked.

“It’s mine!” I tugged it towards me.

“I was here first!” He tugged back as I wrapped both hands around it and started pushing my legs against his chest for leverage. “Bella! No!” His face started turning red as he tugged against me. He pulled so hard that I flew towards his chest, pushing him back onto the couch. Somewhere in the scuffle the remote slipped through the couch cushions and I was left straddling him for no reason with my face inches from his.

Chapter 6 Teaser!

“Hiding in his room again?” Alice asked.

“No he’s in mine.” I gasped as soon as the words slipped out, knowing how bad that sounded. “I mean he helped me put on my dress...” That didn’t make it much better.

“Hey Cullen!” Jasper yelled. He and Edward were pretty close back in high school, but the break up was very...polarizing. I didn’t think they’d really spoken since then.

Edward came down the hallway and stopped as soon as he saw Jasper. “You son of a bitch!” He laughed. He smiled and shook his head. They did the man-hug and immediately dove into conversation like nothing had changed.

“Oh great. It’s Jedward part two,” I said.

“Let them have their little bromance thing for the evening. We’ll do our thing. And hopefully you’ll play with someone’s thing by the end of the night!” She squealed and clapped. Jasper set down a large pack of beer on the table and handed one to Edward.

“Are you ready?” I asked, grabbing for my purse.

“One more thing.” She stepped towards the boys. “Excuse me.” She cleared her throat. “Edward, eyes on me. I need to make sure you understand the scrunchie system.”

“Alice,” I scolded. The thought of actually having sex with someone with Edward here was mortifying.

“I’m sorry, the scrunchie system?” Edward asked, kinking his eyebrow.

“Yes.” Alice reached into her purse and pulled out three different colored scrunchies. “Green means interruptions welcome, we’re just talking or making out. Yellow means emergency interruptions if necessary, there may be touching involved and one or more of us may be shirtless or pantless. Red is a no go zone, there’s some serious business going down. Understood?”

“No. What is this for again?”

“It’s for...” Alice started.

“Alice honey, why don’t you and Bella get going.” Jasper stood up and kissed Alice before ushering us out the door. “You two have a nice time and don’t worry about us okay?” He shut the door, effectively kicking me out of my own apartment.

Chapter 5 Teaser!

I hated asking him this. In fact on my list of things I never wanted to do, this was at the fucking top.

I knocked on his bedroom door, which was slightly open anyway. When he didn’t say anything, I pushed the door open and peeked inside. He was sitting on his bed listening to music and reading a book.

“Edward?”

“Oh!” He slammed the book shut. “Hi. How are you feeling?”

“Like shit. Um...can you do me a favor?”

“Maybe?” He cocked his eyebrow.

“I need you to run to the store for me.” Another cramp ripped through me and I held onto the door frame. “I mean I would go, but I...” I gestured towards myself.

“Sure. What do you need? Tylenol? Cold stuff?” He hopped off the bed.

“No...” I shook my head. “None of that. I need...” I lowered my voice like it was some type of secret.
“I need...girl...stuff. If you know what I mean.”

Realization dawned on his face and he gasped. “Are you fucking kidding me? Jesus Bella I thought you were really sick!”

I clenched my fists at my sides. “Do you have a uterus Edward?! No! So don’t you dare tell me how this feels. Please do this for me.”

He crossed his arms over his chest and tapped his foot. “Fine. But you owe me. I didn’t sign up for Tampon duty when I moved in.”

Chapter 4 Teaser!

Edward walked into the bathroom and looked at us once more. He looked pissed for some reason and I couldn’t understand why. I glared right back at him as he closed the door. Unfortunately it didn’t catch and slowly crept back open, exposing a small glance into the bathroom.

I watched as he stepped up to the sink and glanced at himself in the mirror. His shoulders heaved up and down. He leaned over and splashed some water on his face before pulling his shirt up over his head. I started choking on my soup. Apparently Edward had a significant affect on my swallowing reflex.

“Are you okay?” Paul asked.

“Yeah I’m fine.” I cleared my throat and took a sip of water. My eyes drifted back to Edward in the bathroom. He bent into the shower and turned on the water. Paul started to turn around and I panicked. I reached my foot across the floor and rubbed it against his leg. “So my birthday’s coming up...”

“Yeah in like two months...” He laughed. “What are you going to do for it?”

“I don’t know yet.”

Edward reached for the button on his pants and I held my breath as he pulled it down and pushed them down to the floor. I involuntarily whimpered at the sight of his body and shot my eyes back to Paul, hoping that he didn’t notice.

“You’re going to rub a hole in my leg Bella,” he whispered. He blushed a little, thinking I was really turned on by him. I’m going to Hell, I thought to myself.

When I looked back at Edward I was met with his bare ass taking the few steps to the shower. I mentally scolded myself for wanting to touch it. As he stepped inside, I found myself leaning in my chair, hoping to see it for one more second.

“Bella!” Paul screamed.

The next thing I knew I was falling down, down, down to the ground. My chair landed on top of me with a crash and Paul was instantly beside me. He pulled the chair off me and started to help me up. Behind my wall of embarrassment, I managed to see Edward pop his head out from behind the shower curtain. Our eyes locked for a second and he fucking smirked at me. That bastard knew exactly what he was doing.

Chapter 4 Song Tease!

Chapter 3 Teaser!

     I hid in my hoodie for the entire day. I heard rumblings about Edward and my breakup, but no details. No true details anyway. I didn’t speak to anyone until lunch. That was the first time I saw him.
    He was sitting at our table with his little brother Emmett and his girlfriend Rosalie. We all used to sit at that table. We all used to be friends. Now it was completely off limits. Even Jasper and Alice were sitting at a booth over in the corner. She waved me over when she saw me, but I went to him instead, hoping he would talk to me.
    He didn’t even look up as I approached him. Rosalie scowled at me when I came up, which wasn’t unusual for her so I wondered if he really did tell them the truth or not. Emmett gave me a sad smile and went back to eating his lunch.
    “Edward,” I said, my voice shaking. “Can I talk to you in private?” I pulled at my hoodie and looked around the room. Everyone was staring at us.
    “Edward,” Emmett mumbled, elbowing him lightly in the ribs.
    One of the senior cheerleaders skipped up to Edward and sat down beside him. “So there’s this party tonight,” she said. “At Ben’s. Do you want to go with me?” She glanced at me. “I mean if you’re not...with someone.”
    I glared at her. She knew damn well about Edward and I. Even if we were fighting that was a low blow.
    “No, I’m game,” Edward said. He smiled at her. “And I’m not seeing anyone. I’m single.” He winked at her and got up, taking his tray with him. He threw his trash away and left the cafeteria without one word or glance my way.
    I bit down on my lip and held back the tears. “I deserve that,” I mumbled to no one. I turned around as Emmett started to say something and headed towards Alice and Jasper. She asked me what happened, but I refused to tell her and she eventually resorted to rubbing my back as the tears fell silently down my cheek.
