“Edward! Garrett! Dinner’s ready!” Bella shouted up the stairs. They blew out a breath and went down to the kitchen only to find it empty. They walked to the dining room, finding Bella in a nude nightie with a matching robe. The top was sheer and her dusty rose nipples were on display. Her hair was sexily tousled in loose curls and her makeup was subtle. Set on the table was a platter filled with beef tenderloin, cheesy potatoes, and broiled asparagus. “Sit! Do either of you want wine?”  She held up two bottles. One was a merlot and the other was white, pinot grigio.

“The merlot,” Edward said, sitting down at one of the table settings. “This smells delicious, Bella.”

“Thank you. It’s really easy. I think even Garrett can do it,” she giggled, opening the wine bottle and attaching some sort of aerator.

“Hey! Don’t tease the guy who can’t cook,” Garrett laughed. “I do pretty damn well, thank you very much.” He sat down across from Edward. Bella was at the head of the table. “But, this has been the best weekend, food-wise. I may just move in, Bella. You can cook for me anytime.”

The rest of the morning and afternoon were spent lazing around Bella’s new home. They watched movies, cuddled, napped, and relaxed. Bella was showered with affection: from Edward’s soft caresses and gentle kisses to Garrett’s wandering hands and his insatiable need to nuzzle Bella’s neck. In the late afternoon, Garrett said he had to run to his apartment to get some extra clothes. Unlike Edward, who was a boy scout and carried a packed duffle in his truck, he didn’t have anything in his Jeep. He promised to be back before they all went to bed.

Bella figured Garrett was giving Edward time alone with her so he could pop her anal cherry. She felt guilty about spending time with just Edward, but she wanted to know if she could handle both of them at the same time, and she only wanted Edward to touch her, back there. Perhaps, tomorrow, she could spend some time with Garrett, alone. It was only fair.

Edward was dressed in a pair of dark wash jeans and a tight, black T-shirt. Bella, after shivering for most of the morning, had slipped on a pair of yoga pants. “Let me cook you dinner, Bella,” Edward said, handing her a glass of wine.

“You can cook?” Bella asked.

“One of my many talents,” Edward smirked. “I lived with Garrett, and he could burn water.”

“Let me cook you dinner, Bella,” Edward said, handing her a glass of wine.

“You can cook?” Bella asked.

“One of my many talents,” Edward smirked. “I lived with Garrett, and he could burn water.”

“How does he survive on his own?” Bella giggled, sipping her wine.

“Lots of takeout,” Edward deadpanned, grabbing some chicken from the fridge along with some veggies. “He’s a health nut, though. Most guys would go for Taco Bell or McDonald’s. He lives for healthier stuff. Plus, he runs marathons and works out almost daily, even with our jobs being as physically tasking as they are. My guess is he’s probably at the gym, pumping some iron, and then he’ll be back around ten with his bag.”

“We did act like bums today,” Bella said, arching a brow.

“We did, but I think we deserved it,” Edward replied, winking at her. “Even I’m sore. I can’t imagine what you’re feeling.”

“Blissfully sore,” she said, her eyes twinkling. “But, I’m not complaining. I haven’t felt this loved ever.”

Edward beamed, not responding to her “loved” statement. He pulled out a bowl, a cutting board, and a knife from different cabinets and began dicing the chicken breasts. “Are you happy with the house?”

“Edward, words cannot describe how much I love it,” she breathed. “It’s exactly what I pictured when I first saw it. You and Garrett are artists.”

“Thank you,” Edward blushed, tossing some vegetables into the bowl. “I’m glad we could do this for you. I know Garrett asked if we could photograph it for our site.”

“And you can,” Bella reiterated.

“You don’t mind? It won’t invade your privacy?” Edward asked. Bella shook her head adamantly. 

“Well, before I turn in my key, I’ll take some photos next week.”

“Who said I want you to turn in your key?” Bella asked, looking up at him through her long lashes.

The month off passed more quickly than Bella anticipated. She was preparing to go back to work at the Seattle office of Volturi and Volturi. Edward and Garrett had the keys to the house and permission from the home owner’s association to do the necessary work without Bella being there. Her hand was still wrapped and stitched, so getting ready was a challenge, but somehow, Bella managed to look like the pulled-together attorney she was.

Her first day back at work was fairly easy. Bella got her keys to her new office, swipe card, login access to the intranet, and was given time to unpack her belongings. She was nearly finished when Marcus came into her new office. It was larger than her office in Chicago. The view was amazing, overlooking the Space Needle and Puget Sound. “Are you settled in?” Marcus asked.

“Just about,” Bella nodded. “If only my new house was as easily set up as this office.”

Bella did enjoy her time helping out Edward, Garrett, and their crew for those first few weeks of the renovations of her house. With the guidance of Garrett and Edward, she did work out some of her anger and aggression during the demolition of her new home. She took great pleasure in destroying the oyster bathroom. She did have to go to the emergency room for slicing open her hand, though. Edward took her since Garrett needed to be there to supervise the demolition.

And a loopy Bella was a flirty Bella.
