I'm currently on a role with these chapters, so after writing the last one I decided this part was going to be split into two parts. I hope you guys liked the last chapter, I spent half a day on and off on it so basically 2/3 hours (between odd jobs).

Another life, is going slightly slower than I wanted though, I'm adding like a new sentence each week. So, lets not delay True Star anymore...

Bella

"Okay, I think I can do that, just don't expect anything big." I said looking towards them both.

"I'm not, but they are," Alice said smiling, nodding over to the kitchen.

Burning house of love

Bella

"Okay, so I think I have found the perfect guy to move in with you two. As I was saying, he's hardly ever around, clean, a good cook, good taste in music and in girls. What d'ya say?"

I had a little feeling, I knew who the guy was she was on about, "What's his name?" I asked Rose.

"Erm, Edward," she said in whisper, but then began to reel of why he was good, "He's looking for a new place, but cant find the time to go out looking for one. I mentioned Edward moving in with you two when Emmett asked me to move in, but he said to see how things went. But, he's been hinting for the past couple of days for Emmett to go with him sometime, but currently neither can find the time"

"What, if he's looking for a place of his own?" Alice was quiet, and it was me asking all the questions, yes I did want to get closer to Edward, but was this too fast? I still had tonight to get over and done with.

"Well, I don't know, he'll just have to find his own place, won't he. But the amount of work the two have put into tonight, I don't think he'll think twice about moving in with you two." I gave her a look, "Well, can I just drop it into the conversation tonight and see what he says?" She looked up at us, as if to say, you want him to move in, or you will die.

"Whatever, what do you say Alice?"

"hmm, I guess he could move in, I don't mind. You know I can't really cook that well, Bella and when your not at home, there's only so many ham sandwiches you can have."

"Okay, so are we sorted now. Can we see if Emmett has burnt, any thing I have been dying to have a look since I got home from work. There's been a lot of shouting and trips to the shop as well. So Bella are we all good now?"

"One question, before we go," I said standing back, "Why have we been invited here tonight?"

"I don't know exactly, I think its to do with you and Edward, Bella. He has been miserable since we got back. Seriously, you were in a state, but Edward has been so moody." Rosalie was saying with her hand ready to pull the door open.

"Oh," was all I could say and my lips stayed in a O shape while, we all shuffled out of the bedroom, towards the kitchen.

The table was set and the boys were stood in the kitchen, waiting for us to finish our meeting. Emmett and Jasper gave Rosalie and Alice a drink, to whom they started talking to quietly, and moving in the direction of the table, leaving me drink-less and with Edward.

"What would you like to drink Bella, wine?" he asked me politely from the other side of the kitchen. His voice sounded so inviting, and I had to stop myself from running over to him and kissing him right there. Thinking more, I stared at his lips, they looked soft too, what I would do to kiss those right now.

"I couldn't think of anything worse. Erm, about two weeks ago, I seem to remember having a very nice pink drink, which managed to get its self, thrown over the worst creature I have ever met. Don't suppose you could make me another one." I looked at him through my eye lashes and smiled.

"Yeah, sure, you go and sit down and ill bring it over, I wouldn't want you to steal the recipe," he winked at me and my I could have passed out. I was totally in too deep here. I went back to the table, they had left a side with two free chairs, for us both to sit next to each other (how convenient). I sat with Alice opposite me and Emmett to my right, Jasper was to Alice right and Rose next to him at the opposite end of the table.

"Are you okay, Bella?" Emmett asked from my right, I looked up at him and took a deep breathe. Calm down Bella.

"Yes, Emmett I'm fine, but would everyone, stop fucking asking if I'm okay." I looked up to see everyone at the table, looking at me, and then behind my head to Edward, who had come through the kitchen door.

"Course Bella's fine, why wouldn't she be," Emmett joked. Oh, he seriously was a d**k. As Edward sat down to my left, placing my glass on my coaster, I raised my right hand to my right cheek and stuck my middle finger up keeping the rest folded to my palm, Emmett chuckled and Alice raised her eyebrows at me.

"Should I go and get the Pasta before you start throwing things at me, Bella?" Emmett asked moving from his chair.

"That would be advisable," I smiled at him and looked around the table again to see everyone's reactions, calm good. I reached for my glass and took a sip, still as good as last time, had it not been thrown over someone, "Thanks Edwards, tastes better than last time." I smiled at him, to which he smiled back and I couldn't breathe for a minute still staring at his eyes, his face and his mouth, until Alice kicked me under the table.

"So, Bella hows work?" Jasper must have noticed my state, as he tried to change the subject.

I looked up at him, "Which one?" I had to ask, was he on about at Liquid Lust or at the solicitors. Emmett came back through, wearing oven gloves, carrying a bowl of mince and placing on the table. He went back into the kitchen, Rose quickly jumping out of her seat and following him into the kitchen.

"Both?"

"So, the solicitors are actually going quite good, they've given me a few real clients to work for, and less people are looking over my shoulder to make sure I'm doing the right thing. Actually, today no-one did. Hmm at the bar, guess I'm doing alright. I mean I haven't dropped anything, burnt myself or anything dangerous have a Jazz?"

"Bella, your doing great, don't worry about yourself. Even if you burnt yourself, you'd live with a doctor for a boss and a Junior doctor for a workmate." Jasper reassured me.

"An junior doctor that I haven't worked with yet," I made another mistake by looking at Edward again. Those turquoise eyes, ah so gorgeous.

"Sorry, to disappoint you, Bella. I have been really busy, preparing for an exam I had on yesterday. But I have finished hardcore studying for a couple of weeks, so you'll get the pleasure of working with me soon. Maybe, tomorrow night, Jazz?"

"I think you are actually, Edward." I was still staring into mid air around Edward my eyes, hadn't really moved that far. However, getting a plate, dropped in front of me kinda woke me up from my little daydream. Rosalie and Emmett were back with cheese, plates and spaghetti. Emmett, just couldn't wipe the dirty smile of his face.

"Thanks Emmett, why do you look so pleased with yourself, or don't I want to know." I looked over at Rosalie, who just smiled at me sweetly.

"Soo, Emmett. Rose was telling us that you have been in the kitchen all day, did you do this all yourself." Alice, was my life-safer as usual.

"Well, Alice I have many talents and interests that many people are.."

Loud coughing came from two directions to the right, both male.

"Emmett! You find it hard to even heat up beans." Jasper coughed out.

"I keep trying to tell you that you have to take them out of the tin, before the microwave, but somehow. It just doesn't go in, does it?" Edward smiled at him.

"What would I do without you, Edward. You are literally a lifesaver, in reality and the kitchen. What's the death count so far?"

All five of us looked at Edward, who just stared right back at Emmett with a blank face. It was one of those moments, you had in old western movies, that my dad used to watch. You would be able to her the wind blowing around, everyone and the tumbleweed blowing across the screen. In this scene though, as we were in an apartment, you would be most likely to hear a pin drop or a kirby grip.

After a few seconds, Jasper spoke, "Emmett, you know he's not that bad. If you were ill, you would want to know Edward, I do. Anyway, are we going to eat or not tonight, I haven't eaten all day." Jaspers toned relaxed the tenseness around the room, and we all relaxed a bit. Edward breathed out slowly, like he would have blown had Jasper not broken the silence.

"Sure, guys help yourselves. I haven't poisoned you, promise." Edward replied, and then under his breathe, only me and Rosalie could her this, "Even, if some of you deserve it."

-xoxoxoxox-

Edward

By the end of the main meal, the atmosphere had calmed down a little, there was less coughing coming from Alice and Emmett had stopped pissing me off. Bella also seemed less nervous, her breathing had slowed right down (she was breathing heavily, when we started eating.)

I stood up to clear all the everyone's clean plates, Rosalie followed suit and stacked Jasper and Alice's plate while I stacked the remaining, as she walked past Emmett towards the kitchen she slapped him around the face.

"Hey, Rose what was that for?" He cried turning round to the kitchen door, I joined her in the kitchen, just as she replied back.

"You'll find out later, you tit." I looked up to her for an explanation, bemused.

"Edward, he was being a tit, I had to do it. If Alice and Bella were not here, you would have done it yourself. But, your just being a gentleman, unlike your brother."

I turned round to the microwave to press a button.

"So, what is for dessert, Edward. Now I know, you did everything in the end."

I headed for the fridge this time and pulled out a large plate with strawberries on.

"Oh, this is all Emmett's idea. Nothing to do with me, although I think he had us all in mind. Open the marshmallows and put them on the other half of the plate could you and then take it through." I gestured to the large bag behind her and set the the plate on the counter next to her.

While she followed my instructions, I went to another cupboard and lifted out the chocolate fountain. Sometimes, Emmett had the best ideas.

I set the fountain on the side and started fixing the fixtures together.

"You have to be joking me, Edward?" Rosalie came back into the kitchen, and over to the counter, "Oh my god, Bella is going to flip when she sees this."

"How do you mean?" I asked her, I little confused.

"She just loves chocolate, among many other things." I looked again up to her, and she smiled at me. Was that a hint at something?

"Come on you two, I'm starting to suspect something between my girlfriend and brother?" Emmett yelled from the other room.

"Okay, I think its time. Can you grab the chocolate from the microwave and I'll take this through."

I picked up the fountain and moved it through to the dining room, to hear Alice start squealing.

"Oh my god, Bella, look what's coming!"

I walked between bella and my vacant seat, to place the fountain in the middle of the table and plugged the fountain into the plug socket on the wall behind. Rose poured the liquid chocolate into the bowl and started the fountain up.

Alice was the first to try a strawberry, closely followed by bella, it all happened in slow motion.

Her perfectly painted red fingernails, picked a strawberry and dipped it into the steady flow of chocolate. When an adequate amount of chocolate, covered the strawberry, she brought it up to her soft, pink lips and bit into it. Behind me Rosalie cleared her throat a little, which brought me back to reality, just, I was still transfixed by Bella and her strawberry. She popped the rest of the strawberry into her mouth and sucked her fingers to clean all the chocolate off her fingers. What I would do to be feeding Bella a strawberry and then to have her lick or suck my fingers.

Emmett smiled behind bella, "Was that nice, Bella?"

"You have no idea, Emmett." she replied smiling broadly. She picked up a marshmallow this time, I chose to look away, as I was already feeling a little hot and I really didn't want to have visible erection, when I didn't even know much about the love of my life, next to me.

"I think, I do," He replied nodding, it was obvious what he was comparing the chocolate to. Emmett had a one track mind, and everyone knew about it.

"No Emmett. Its better than that." She knew his ideas as well.

"Okay Emmett. We are not having this discussion now, no-one wants to know your personal fantasies. Calm yourself down."

"Hmm, I didn't want to know about them, but I still have quite a lot of your night-time antics, imprinted in my memory." Seriously the things that I have seen and heard were enough to damage my mind.

"You wouldn't know what we got up to if you had your own place and we weren't all squeezed into my two bedroom apartment." I half expected for Emmett to throw a strawberry at me.

"I wouldn't be stuck here, if you would just find the time.."

Alice threw the marshmallow at me this time, and kicked Emmett under the table. "Okay, Edward, Emmett enough! Rosalie had an idea, which she asked us about, when we came here tonight."

I looked away from Emmett, towards Alice. So, was Rosalie getting annoyed with my presence in the apartment?

"What would you say if we asked you to move in with me and Bella?" Was she for real, living with Bella and Alice. I dream come true that's what it would be, hopefully seeing Bella everyday and then maybe we could share lifts to work, when we were working together. Ahh, Heaven.

"Are you sure, a guy in your house."

"Sure we're sure, we wouldn't ask you would we?" Bella leaned over and placed her hand on my leg under the table, everyone, everything was still (except for my erection), she quickly withdrew her hand, bemused by her sudden actions. Living in the same house as her really would be hard, even when she touched me tonight, I was finding it hard to restrain myself.

"Great, when do you want me to move in?"

"How about we start tomorrow, and then finish up sunday. Rose's bed is still in the room, so you might want to swap them over the weekend." Bella had gone all quiet now, staring into the chocolate flow.

-xoxoxoxox-

Bella

So, Edward was going to be moving in with me and Alice. Was this a good idea or not? Would I be able to resist walking past his bedroom door or even the bathroom door, when he was obviously naked. Does he walk around with no shirt on because that would totally leave me breathless.

My phone vibrated in my jeans pocket, at first I thought it was just a text but the vibrations got more urgent. I moved around in my seat, so I could pull it out of my jeans pocket and looked at the screen, great mums calling me.

"Hello?"

"Hello Bella, Its your mum." No shocker there really. "I was just ringing you because I haven't heard from you in a while."

"Yeah, I'm still alive. Erm mum, I cant really talk to night, I'm at a friends. Can I ring you in the morning sometime, maybe like ten, eleven?"

"Um, okay, I guess I'm not doing anything then."

"okay, I'll ring you then, mum. Bye."

"talk to you soon Bella, bye."

"Sorry, I guess I haven't talked to my mum in a while." I looked around at everyone else, Jasper was feeding Alice strawberries. Rosalie and Emmett had disappeared again, leaving me with Edward.

"I see my mum everyday, so I guess she doesn't need to ring me as much."

Eh, what the heck is he on about.

-xoxoxoxox-

Edward

What the fuck did I say that for? She'll think I'm a mummies boy or something. Ohmy god this is going to be harder than I thought.

I was going to have a 'proposal' in this chapter, but I decided it was a little too soon and that things that I had planned in the future would get a bit mixed up. I also wanted Edward to feed Bella, but I guess that is a bit soon, too.

Also, halfway through writing this I went back over the chapter, oh my god how many spelling mistakes, words in random orders and just random words placed instead of others? Sorry if its like that usually.

Check, back in a few hours, I have a little prezzie for all my readers. Review and ill post it faster.
