Please be warned, this story gets pretty graphic later on.

A special thank you to evilangel813 for the awesome banner.

Bella transfers to the University of Washington her junior year. The incredibly beautiful guy with the coppery-bronze hair is such a jerk when their lives first collide, but they can't ignore the fact that they are drawn to each other. However...Bella has a boyfriend back home and Edward is adamantly unavailable; a horrible experience in his past has made him reluctant to form any attachments or new friendships. But sometimes, when you least expect it, you find something you didn't even know you were looking for; something that will change your life irrevocably and unconditionally.

Lots of humor, tons of romance and occasional angst, featuring a rather nosy and intrusive Emmett, Rose, Jasper and Alice. Add a potential stalker into the mix to stir things up. Top it all off with undeniable sexual tension and eventually some very hottt sexy-times.

A big round of applause for Z-21 and Twi-Holoic for the amazing banners! *clap, clap, clap, clap, clap*

Alice & Jasper's story from The Perfect Wife.Takes place 2 years before TPW covering the first few months of their marriage.

You know those fics where Edward doesn't come back and Bella forgets about him and five seconds later she's in bed with Jacob and none of it makes any damn sense?
Yeah, this isn't one of them.

A BELLIE AWARDS NOMINEE!

This story picks up from the moment in New Moon when Jacob has driven Bella home after the cliff diving incident, right before he catches the scent of Alice. Only in this telling, Alice wasn't looking, so there's no sudden appearance at Bella's house, no Rosalie calling Edward and sending him on a suicidal mission to Volterra, and no reason for Bella to do anything but believe that Edward didn't love her anymore. This is simply a story of what might have happened if everyone stayed mostly in character and Edward's return was delayed. Yes, delayed. Because we all know that he was "this close" to coming back on his own anyhow.
So what would have happened if Bella had tried to move on with her life?  Would she have found happiness with Jacob?  And would Edward be too late?

* First in a series of stories that tell of Bella and Jacob during Edward's absence, Bella's start at college, and the Cullens' eventual return.

~I thought of Jacob’s warm arms wrapped around me, his infectious laughter, and his ability to keep me from falling to pieces again… The pain choking my heart relaxed and I could breathe.~

~“More than anything,” I whispered, not caring what I'd just agreed to. When it came to Bella, it didn't matter what the question was. I just wanted.~
