3. Reunion

EPOV

"Bear come on!" I whistled, and picked my gym bag up from the bench. Luckily the gym wasn't as busy today, I could train more than work. But all I had on my mind was the fact that Bella was back at the apartment, and I was about to finally meet her again after 6 months of being apart.

Bear was only 3 months old, but extremely intelligent. He huffed and trotted to the sound of his name. I pulled the lead from the hook and attached it to his collar. "Now there's a friend of mine at home. And you need to be on your best behaviour." You may call me stupid for talking to a dog because well, he's a dog. But it's nice to talk to someone who for once can't back chat. It's actually quite relaxing.

I locked the gym up behind me and opened the door of my Mercedes's, helping bear jump in and closing the door behind him.

It was a short drive home to the penthouse, and I could instantly tell that there was a woman presence in the apartment when the fresh smell of chicken wafted from outside the door. God. I opened the door of the apartment slowly, taking a deep breath I peeked inside.

There dressed in sweat pants and a white baggy t-shirt was Bella. She had her earphones plugged in and she was softly swaying as she cooked skilfully in the kitchen. She hadn't noticed my presence yet and it was all ruined when Bear barked and jumped her out of her skin.

"Shit!" She yelled loudly, pulling her ear phones out and turning around abruptly.

Our eyes met in an intense gaze and she froze. Her eyes grew to the size of saucers and I'm pretty sure mine did too. God she was so beautiful. Her hair pulled up in a messy bun with strands of mahogany framing her angelic face.

"Edward!" She squealed finally. Throwing down the sauce pan and running towards me.

I opened my arms up and smiled when she came crashing into my chest. Home. Her scent engulfed me, knocking me back slightly. She was warm, just as warm as she was when we cuddled on the couch and watched movies together.

"Hey Bell." I whispered into her hair. It was weird when I felt warm tingles radiate through my body when. Just like the 'movies' huh?

"I missed you so much." She admitted pulling back and looking in my eyes. "As much as I'd love to cuddle you all day Edward, you're sweaty, smelly and the food is going to burn."

"Lovely to see you too Bella." I chuckled, letting go of her and taking two steps back. "How is everything?"

"Everything is good." She called from over her shoulder. "Now that I'm home anyway."

I hummed and looked over her shoulder at the chicken she was frying in the pan.

"Enough for me?"

She rolled her eyes and laughed. "Of course." She murmured and smiled up at me. "I really missed having my best friend around."

As her best friend it was my duty to make her smile, and smile shall I make her. I kissed her cheek and picked up a very impatient Bear from the floor. Though he is a German Shepherd, he's still very small and fit in my arms like a baby would.

"This handsome young fella is Bear." I murmured, holding him tight to my chest. He squirmed around, his nose stuck up in the towards Bella's chicken.

"He's really cute. I never took you for the whole, 'the man with the dog' charade." She giggled, returning to her cooking. The smell of well seasoned chicken wafted in the air, making my stomach churn at the thought of devouring it.

"Well you are wrong Miss Swan." I laughed, placing bear back onto his feet. He scurried off towards the couch and jumped up on the cushions. I rolled my eyes at him, and made my way to the shower.

"I'm going to shower. I'll be back out in around 10 minutes."

"Sure thing."

BPOV

It was around 10 pm when we finally stopped yapping and made our way to the couch to watch a movie. It was just like the old times, though we were both fully grown adults now, we still had our teenage sides left in us. It felt right. Better than anything, he made me feel happy and loved. Though he was only my best friend.

"Are you cold?" He asked as he wrapped his arms around me. I nodded slightly and he wrapped me up tighter in his arms, cocooning me between him and the couch.

"Can I ask you a question?" He said suddenly, I broke my eyes away from 'Letters to Juliet' and met his green gaze. It was pitch dark in the room, the only invading light was the lights of New York flickering in through the window. Other than that it was pitch dark. I could still see his beautiful gaze, and it made me shiver.

"Of course."

"Tell me if you don't want to talk about it okay?" He asked seriously. I knew exactly where this was going, and I didn't like it. I nodded anyway.

"Why did he break up with you?"

"I broke up with him." I replied rather quickly. Shutting my eyes, I tried my hardest not to think about him. A perfect night ruined by a sudden conversation change. Great.

"Why?"

"Because I didn't love him."

"Did he hurt you?" He suddenly asked, reading into me deeper than anyone has before. I could almost feel him touching my soul. Yes, yes he did.

"Edward, please can we not go there tonight? I want to enjoy my best friend once again." I sighed, and shifted in his arms.

"You didn't deny it."

"Don't all relationships hurt when you break up?"

"Yeah, but-"

"No buts Mr Cullen. Eyes on the screen." I smirked and leaned back against his chest. "I don't want him to ruin a perfect night."

"It's not perfect yet." He whispered lightly. I tried my hardest to focus on Amanda Seyfried in the movie but couldn't help but feel the shivers that ran down my spine.

"Edward I-" his lips caught me off guard. I froze slightly and so did he. He pulled back quickly and his eyes widened.

"Bella I'm so sorry." He gasped, shifting uncomfortably. I turned around on the couch. So that I was sitting on my knees and gazed into his eyes.

"Do it again." I said bluntly. Placing my hands on his shoulders.

"What?"

"Do it again. Kiss me again."

He didn't hesitate. His lips gently moulded against mine, radiating warmth through my body. Jacobs kisses were harsh and needy. But this was perfect. I hummed against his open lips and crawled into his lap, bringing a low growling sound from deep within his chest. I think I need new panties after this make out session.

My hands found themselves in his hair and his found my waist.

"Bella." He panted when his lips detached from mine. I had never felt warmth when a man kissed me before. But Edward made bubbles form inside of my stomach, he made me feel alive. "Bella we can't..."

"Why not?" I hummed. Leaning my head back slightly to allow his lips to travel down the Column of my neck.

"Because I don't want to ruin it."

"We won't ruin it." I gasped, running my fingers through his hair. "In a way. It will make us stronger."

"You're hurt Bella."

"Yes. And I want you to make me forget everything he did to me." I said, my eyes glazing over with I shed tears. "Make me forget him."

And make me forget he did. That night, I had made love to my best friend. Not only was it the best sex of my life, I knew deep down inside that his feelings for me were just as strong as the ones I felt for him.

A/N Hey guys. Sorry for the late update, had some family drama. Hope you enjoyed this little reunion between them ;)
