stand up to him. She stepped inside of the office and reached over to shut the door. She quickly walked to the brown, plastic chair. She took a seat and avoided his gaze, he wanted to stare into her beautiful, chocolate brown eyes but all he could look at was the side of her face. It would have to do for now. "Do you have any plans for this weekend?" He asked. She sighed, then finally turned to face him. She looked into his eyes, their gazes locked for a second. He quickly looked away because it felt too intimate for him, it was almost as if she had peered into his soul. He finally felt like he had a soul, something he hadn't felt like he had in years. That wasn't normal, now was it? "No I don't have any plans. I was just going to stay at home and study." She explained briefly. She began to pull at a piece of purple, loose thread that was hanging from the sleeve of her shirt. He wondered why she didn't just pull it out. "Would you like to go away with me to my house in Rochester for the weekend?" For the first time in a very long time, he actually felt nervous about asking a girl to go away with him. It almost made no sense, he mentally scolded himself for losing it around her. She didn't answer him, she still seemed preoccupied playing with the stupid piece of thread hanging from her sleeve. She probably found him to be so boring that a piece of loose thread had more appeal to her than he did. He pinched the bridge of his nose and tried to calm himself down. He had enough of this, he reached over and grabbed her arm, he took his other hand and ripped the thread off the sleeve and threw it to the side. She looked up at him with complete shock on her beautiful face.

"Why did you.." She could barely speak.

He still held her arm in his hand, he could feel the warmth of her skin and he could feel her veins underneath his hand. Touching her felt so right, he almost didn't want to let go, until he felt her tugging her arm away from him. He instantly let go, he was acting like an insane person. He was sure she would run away now.

"I'm sorry, that thread was annoying me. I have a slight case of OCD I guess." He said casually.

She stared at him blankly and then giggled slightly. He felt relieved that she found something to be funny.

"More like a major case, next time just ask and I'll tear it off myself." She said.

She looked at him and smiled sweetly, it was hard for him not to return such a sweet and innocent smile.

"That might be a better idea, yes or no to Rochester?" He asked.

"Yes. I want to go.. with you."

He smirked at her, his plan was going to fall into place perfectly. It was almost too easy, he always got what he wanted.

It was Friday afternoon and Bella was zipping up her old black, leather suit case. She couldn't believe that she agreed to go away with Edward for the weekend. What had she been thinking? She would be completely alone with him, she should have felt more uncomfortable about it, but the thought of being with him alone seemed almost alluring to her. She sighed as she pulled at the zipper that was stuck.

"Just close!" She shouted at the bag.

"Do you need some help?" She heard a voice behind her ask.

She felt embarrassed, she had been shouting at a bag, how mature of her. She turned around to face him and shrugged her shoulders.

"Yes! Please help me close this, it's stuck."

He smirked and walked over to her. He grabbed the small sliver zip and pulled it with ease, closing the bag. She crossed her arms and pouted slightly.

"You make it look so easy."

"You're welcome."

She rolled her eyes at him.

"Oh thank you so we leaving now?" She asked.

He chuckled and nodded his head, as he picked up her suit case and headed towards the door.

"Yes we are."

She followed him out the door and down the stairs. She walked out onto the sidewalk and looked at the silver Mercedes that was parked outside. Of course he would have a fancy car. He was putting their luggage into the trunk of the car. He was wearing black Ray Bans, his dirty golden blonde hair was pushed back slightly and he was wearing an expensive looking black shirt, that had a few buttons undone exposing a few stray chest hairs. She had to admit he really did have some style, she figured he would have to have some sort of style if he was the Editor of GQ magazine. It was almost not fair, she was living with one of New York City's most eligible bachelors and she hadn't even tried to flirt with him. She promised herself that when she moved to the city she would be bolder and that she would be more adventurous. "I should do something crazy this weekend, maybe I'll drink or who knows maybe Edward and I will have some fun." She thought to herself. She was determined to have a memorable weekend.

"Lets get going Bella." He said and flashed a smile at her.

He got into the driver's seat and waited for her to get in. She grabbed the handle of the door and opened it, she slid onto the seat and shut the door. The seats were leather, it felt smooth and sleek against her fingers. The car smelled fresh, it still had that new car smell to it, Bella adored that scent it was weird but it was almost addictive once you inhaled it. She inhaled deeply and then exhaled. Edward looked at her curiously and chuckled, as he started up the car and merged onto the road.

"What are you doing?" He asked curiously.

"I just like the smell of a new car." She said.

He nodded his head and looked at her from the corner of his eye.

"I got this car last week, it does smell good doesn't it? I guess we have that in common. I want to talk to you about something."

She looked at him intently and wondered what he wanted to speak to her about.

"What is it?"

"Are you enjoying your time here? I hope I'm not making you miserable." He said, it sounded as if he was nervous.

"Of course I am, it was my dream to live here and now I'm living it thanks to you. You're not making me miserable, but I mean I'd like to get to know you better."

"Good to hear. Get to know me better? I don't think you'd want to know me." He said in a low voice.

"We're living together, we might as well at least.. become friends."

He smirked.

"Friends? I think that's a good idea. Actually this weekend will be perfect for us to get to know each other better."

She arched her thin, brown eyebrow at him. He had been keeping her at arms length ever since he had met her, she wondered why all of a sudden he was so open to getting to know her.

"You do? Well in that case I'm glad I agreed to going with you. Do you think we could do something.. crazy this weekend?" She asked cautiously.

It was his turn to raise an eyebrow at her.

"What exactly do you have in mind?" He asked curiously.

"Just something fun, I'm sure you would have some good ideas. I just really want to have fun." She said.

She hoped she wasn't giving off the wrong vibes, but she really did want to have fun and maybe he did too.

"I think our ideas of fun might be different and I doubt you'd be interested in my idea of fun."

"Oh is your idea of fun sex? Who is to say that's not my idea of fun too?" She said teasingly.

He was taken by surprise at her question, was she actually being serious? He saw her as this innocent girl, but the boldness that she had been showing lately was making him rethink that statement. Perhaps she was a bad girl hidden away by a virtuous image. He reached over and placed his hand on her knee, she instinctively pulled away and he smirked at her.

"It's definitely not, I think I just proved my point."

"Maybe it's just you that I don't want to have that kind of fun with."

She smirked at him and looked out of the window. He glared at her, was she playing a game with him? He liked games and he liked winning even more.

"Oh really? I'm sure you're dying to have that kind of fun with me."

She spun her head around and looked at him. She put on a shocked expression on her face.

"In your dreams."

"Actually you have appeared in one of my dreams." He said teasingly.

She punched his shoulder lightly.

"You're such a perv." She said.

"You're the one who started talking about sex." He shot back.

She laughed and shook her head.

"Okay can we please drop this conversation now?"

He nodded his head and laughed.

"Of course because I think someone is getting horny."

"Ha Ha very funny, that someone is probably you."

5 hours later Edward and Bella had arrived at his mansion in Rochester. The house was painted white and looked like an old gothic castle. It seemed like something out of a fairytale. Bella was almost afraid to stay in it. Edward had the butler bring their luggage into the house. The inside had mahogany hard wood floors and had all types of obscure paintings on the wall. It was a bit depressing and dark inside. It seemed as if it could be haunted but at the same time it was breathtakingly beautiful, actually it was exactly like Edward. They had some dinner and went off to their respective rooms. Bella was sitting in bed reading The Age of Innocence, it was one of her favorite books when she heard a knock on the door.

"Come in!" She shouted.

Edward opened the door and walked inside.

"Do you have everything you need?" He asked.

She smiled at him and nodded her head.

"Yes I do, but I don't have anyone to talk to."

He smirked as he walked to the bed and the sat down on the edge of the bed.

"I can fix that. You know what we were talking about in the car? I was thinking, would it really be that strange if we were somehow attracted to each other?" He asked.

She blinked her eyes a couple of times, she wasn't sure if she was hearing him right. "Is he actually saying he's attracted to me? How is that possible?" She thought
