BELLA'S POV

I was sitting in the middle of my bed trying to concentrate on this damn trig, when I heard a small knock on my window. I look up ans Edward sitting there smiling at me. He would come when I have on my ratty pajamas. I wave as I get from the bed. I open the window and lean out and smiled. "You know my father is going to kill you if he finds you up here." I said.

Edward leaned down and gave me a quick kiss and smiled. His face lingered in front of mines. His cool breath brush my lips. "I'm willing to risk it for you, because you are worth it." Edward said.

I backed up from my window to let him inside the room. Edward followed me in and closed the window behind him. I wrapped my arms around his waist and pulled him close to me. "Good thing for you that my father is currently out, so I get to keep you around a little bit longer." I said. I stepped back and took him in. He was in dark blue jeans with a dark blue button up with sleeves rolled up. He had brown boots on. "Do you always have to look this good all the time?" I questioned.

Edward gave a little chuckle. "Blame Alice. We could sleep, but we choose not to, so Alice keeps us well groomed around the clock. I do have to say you look very good in your tank top and plaid pajama pants. All very comfy." He teased.

I swatted his shoulder playfully. "Awww, shucks! You really know how to flatter a girl." I went back to my bed and picked up my worksheet. Edward got on top of the bed and sat next to me. He placed his hand on my back and rubbed softly. A little tremble struck me.

"Do you need help? I can help with that." Edward asked as he took the sheet from me. Suddenly, I broke out into a fit of laughter. He looked up at me with confused look. "What?" He asked.

I had to calm myself before speaking. "I'm laughing, because everytime you offer to help me with work it always end with us making out. We can never get anything done. You can't keep your hands to yourself!" I exclaimed with joy.

A slow, devious smirk appeared on his face. "As I can remember, you are a very active participant, Ms. Swan." He said.

"True." I let out a sigh. "As much as I want that to happen, I got to get through this damn trig. Plus, we can't get caught by my father making out again. You were ban from the house for a long, grueling month." I said.

Edward face turned into a frown with rememberance. "I can see how my hand under your shirt could piss him off. I had to leave Forks for a week for him to cool down." Edward said. He was silent for a moment. "I'm goingt o be responsible and help you do your trig. No touching or kissing or googly eyes. Promise?" He said.

"Promise." For next twenty minutes, we worked on the trig with our promise intact. After we finished, we just laid back and talked. We were so comfortable that alomost missed my father entering the house. We both bolted up, looking at each other. I pointed to the window and Edward hurried across the room. "Elena, are you up?" Elijah called from downstairs.

"Yeah, dad. I'm finishing up my homework. I will be down in a few minutes." I yelled back. I gave a quick kiss and I whispered "See you at school tomorrow." He nodded his head and disappeared. Just as I was closing the window, Elijah walked in. I whipped around and stared at him. Damn, he is going to smell him up here. I put on my sweetest smile and took a step forward "Hi, daddy. What's up?" I casually walked over to my bed and flopped down.

Elijah looked around the room, already aware of my deception. "Bella, what did I tell you about Edward in your room? I have set that rule for a reason." Elijah said. The sterness almost had me faltering. I swept over the room with my eyes and spotted Edward's blazer I had earlier. I almost smirked at brilliance.

"Dad, Edward wasn't in my room tonight. I mean he came in the house after coming from school and you know that. You were here." I said dumbly.

Elijah shifted his stance and glared at me. "Bella, do not play on my intelligence. Edward's scent is all over in the room." He said.

I got up from my bed and went over to my desk. I had to play this cool. I grabbed the blazer and tossed it at my father. I put on my annoyed face and crossed my arms. "That is Edward's blazer that I was wearing when I came in. That is why his scent is in here." I said. I mean it wasn't a total lie. His scent was in here, because of his blazer, before he came in here.

Elijah stayed in the doorway looking stuck. I could see mental battle, trying debate if it was the truth or not. He walked over to the dresser and laid the blazer down. He looked up at me and gave an hesitant smile. "I'm sorry for jumping to conclusions, Bella. I just want you safe. Thats all!" He said.

"If you gave Edward a chance, you would really like him." I said. I walked over and lead him over to the bed to sit on. "Edward is really a gentleman. And I know when you walk on us, it wasn't the best position." I said.

I saw him wince at the memory. "God, please don't remind me of that. What he did was just disrespect." He said with disdain.

"Dad, I know you are not going to sit there and act like you haven't had your hand in the cookie jar when women became more promiscuous. That just being hypocritical." I said, defending Edward.

"This is not about me. This about Edward trying to get into your cookie jar! You're my daughter. I won't have it!" He said.

I jumped from my bed and stared down at my father. " IT'S MY COOKIE JAR! I CAN DO WHATEVER I WANT WITH IT!" I yelled.

Elijah stood up and ran his hand in his hair. "How about we stop talking about cookie jar, especially yours!" He said. He paced the room.

Just to make him more uncomfortable, I continued. "If it makes you feel better, Edward haven't tried to open my cookie jar." I said containing my laughter, but the look on his face sent me over the edge. I fell on my bed laughing hard. Elijah fleed from the room, looking horrified.

After ten minutes, I gain my self-control and went seeking out for my father. I went down the hall to find him in his bedroom. He was sitting against his headboard with his eyes closed. "I do not want to talk about this anymore, Bella." He said.

I stood awkwardly in the doorway. "Edward is really nice, dad. He is going to be in my life for awhile, because I do love him. Edward still holds onto his old fashion morals, so he is not trying to sex me up." I said as Elijah's face scrunched up. I walked over and climbed onto his bed and sat up next to him. He took hold of my hand and sat there in silence for a moment. I looked over to the clock and it was 10:48 p.m..

"I do like Edward, Bella. He is a nice fit for you, but you are my daughter. I will never stop worrying about you. You are all I have left of your mother and I won't lose you." Elijah said. I almost broke in tears when he mentioned my mother. I leaned my head against his shoulder and he leaned his head on top of mines.

"I will always be there for you whenever you need me. You won't lose me. You is all I have and I'm not letting that go. Dad, please try with Edward. It would me alot to me if you would." I said.

"Okay, I will try." Elijah patted my head. Silence filled the room once more and I slowly drifted off to sleep.
