Chapter 10
*~Bella Swan~*
"This place is perfect." I said excitedly, glancing around the
room.
The apartment was fantastic - a nice open space with a fully-equipped
kitchen.
I especially loved the high ceilings, and the view was spectacular. I
couldn't wait to fill this place up with furniture and books and movies and
shit.
As much as I loved this place, it wasn't my first choice. I would've
rather bought a nice little house in the suburbs, but I knew I'd have to wait a
couple years before I could manage that.
At the moment, I was just too recognizable.
The series finale of Girl Next
Door hadn't even aired yet, so the public eye was still on me for the time
being.
It didn't help much that my face was currently plastered on the covers
of Teen Vogue, Teen Beat, and Teen People, all of which were still, in
some way, linking me romantically with Mike Newton. Those that weren't still
calling us The Cutest Couple in America,
claimed that he was cheating on me with Jessica Stanley. Worst of all, there
was even this running joke that just because Mike played twins on his show
didn't mean he could date two girls at once.
It was all rather humiliating.
"How long will it take to sign the papers? I have somewhere else I
need to be," I told Red, who was still gushing over some weird ass
"pasta arm" thingy in the kitchen. I had no idea what a fucking
"pasta arm" was, and I didn't care. I wanted that greedy bitch out of
my new apartment before she tainted it with her disgusting personality.
"About half an hour - we just need you to sign some paperwork and
go over the payments as well as a few rules and such," Red replied
happily, motioning for me to follow her to the manager's office, so I could get
it over with and get her out of there.

Now that I'd made a decision about the apartment, I was eager to get
back to Blue Rose - to Edward.
I really liked being around him, too. It was almost surreal not being
recognized and it would take a supreme effort on my part not to take advantage
of that fact.
Of course, a guy like Edward wouldn't know who I was. He probably had
never even heard of my show. That fact would definitely work to my advantage if
I ended up getting with him tonight, and though a small part of me felt guilty
for my planned dishonesty, another stronger
part told me I'd never have another opportunity like it again.
Especially with someone as gorgeous as Edward.
Maybe it was stupid of me, but I was so fucking attracted to him that I
couldn't have cared less.
What I really needed to think about was how far I was really willing to
go with a guy I just met, because it really wasn't like me to do anything like
this. I'd only ever been with Mike a couple times before, and that was a fairly
lackluster experience to say the least.
