Progress: The Original Sleep Humper Love Story by 107yearoldvirgin

A BxE debacle of epic proportions. "There's no real diagnosis. He's what we affectionately call a 'sleep

humper'." Sometimes love is just plain awkward.

Pulling your confidence through

Some courage is well overdue

Thump.

Moan.

Thump.

Moan.

Waking up to that sound every morning was enough to make a girl go completely insane. I rolled over

and pressed my pillow firmly over my ears, willing the disturbing noises to die down. Opening one

eye slightly, I checked the time on the clock: seven forty five.

It would be over in ten minutes if I could just wait it out.

A loud crash could be heard above the pounding and moaning sounds and I sat straight up in the bed

before I grabbed a shoe off of the floor and flung it at my closed door.

"Seriously! If you're going to have sex in the kitchen before work, the least you can do is not break

my damn dishes!" I flopped back down in the bed and pulled the covers over my head until I heard

the commotion stop.

Every morning, like clockwork.

My roommate Rosalie and her bumbling boyfriend Emmett would have some sort of weird loud sex

in a corner, or open space, of our apartment. My other roommate Alice and I had learned to wait

until after eight to emerge so that we wouldn't have any more unfortunate incidences like the one

last Halloween.

I would never be able to watch Some Like it Hot ever again after walking in to see Rose bent over the

couchdressedasMarilynMonroeherwhitedresshikedupoverherheadandEmmett

HappyplacehappyplacehappyplaceImutteredasIgotuptobrush my teeth. I had learned to

shower before bed now, too. Getting into the tub after their morning shower sex session was always

a crapshoot. You never knew what you'd find in there.

I cracked the door and poked my nose out. "Put on your clothes, skanks. I'm walking into the

hallway."

When did our apartment become such a danger zone?

Walking stealthily into the kitchen I threw my hands up in defeat. "Emmett! How many times have I

told you that boxer briefs don't count as clothes around here. For godsake, man. I have been looking

at your frank and beans for ten years now. Its time to put them away."

Rose slipped back into the kitchen and sat on Emmett's lap as he finished his toaster strudel. She was

nuzzled up into his neck as he bit into the middle of the pastry. "Why the hell is it always still frozen

in the middle?" he yelled before shoving the entire thing into his mouth.

I poured my orange juice and sighed. "You two really are disgusting. It smells like cornflakes, or

cheerios or some shit in here. Like sex and ass. Not exactly what I want to wake up to in the morning

before I face my day of whiners and complainers."

Rose turned to look at me and shook her head before pointing to Emmett. "Don't bite the hand that

feeds you, dumbass." Emmett just smiled a cocky grin at me in agreement.

Emmett and I worked together. More accurately, we both worked for his father's company, which in

Emmett's mind meant that I worked for him.

All of us went to High School together after I transferred to Forks High my Junior year. Alice had

taken an instant liking to me and we had become fast friends. She would always say that she had

known that she would find a friend like me one day, and I thought that maybe she was right. I had

moved from Phoenix and didn't really have any friends at all there, so having an instant friend in

Alice had been really nice.

Alice was dating Jasper, of course. They were kind of a package deal; not that I minded because

Jasper was hot to look at and a real sweetheart. I loved him to pieces.

But with Jasper came Emmett, who I had initially hated with every fiber of my being because he was

such an ass to me in gym class.

I am coordinately challenged, and the first time the gym teacher made me play volleyball, I

accidentally hit Rosalie in the back of the head. She and Emmett weren't dating at the time, but they

had apparently been screwing for a while, and he felt protective of her, so he had charged me like he

was going to rip me in half.

Rose had gotten to me first and after she pulled a clump of my hair out, we became quick frienemies.

It had been hard at first to work my way in with all of them. It seems that they had been a group of

five before that summer, and their fifth had been sent away by his parents. They didn't speak of him

much, but every once in a while I would hear a story about the elusive 'E' that they all loved so

deeply. His departure had crushed all of them in one way or another.

By the time our summer before senior year hit, I was their fifth and I liked having that kind of

camaraderie. Especially in a small town like Forks. And especially when your father was the chief of

police. Having Charlie Swan as your dad could really cramp your social life, if you let it.

All five of us had headed to State for college. Alice could have gone to the arts school farther away,

but she couldn't bear to be away from Jasper, so she took design at State. Emmett took Business

classes with Rose, and minored in Physical Fitness so that he could be a trainer on the weekends.

Rose minored in auto mechanics, which Emmett thought was pretty hot. Jasper ended up getting his

degree in Romantic languages and then decided at the last minute to become a masseur.

I, on the other hand, went into Psychology.

I'm what Charlie refers to as a 'problem solver'. He nicknamed me Lucy after the Peanuts character

because I would listen to people's problems and give advice; and I was good at it. It became

overwhelming when I realized that I was giving free sessions in college to dorm mates who just

'wanted to talk'. They'd end up lying on my lap on the couch and pouring their hearts out, and I'd

listen and comfort them. After a few months I got wise and started making them bring me payment

of sorts: chocolate, drinks, or bootleg copies of movies.

It was all honestly exchanged.

After I graduated I decided not to pursue being a Psychologist because I couldn't handle listening to

people whine all day, when they had no intention of putting my advice to work for them. It seemed

frivolous just to be a body to bounce words off of for a hundred dollars an hour. And my tender heart

couldn't handle molestation cases; so I opted for Psych Lite: Human Resources at McCarty Publishing.

I worked with books and proofreaders all day. I handled insurance paperwork, new hire orientation,

birthday cakes and noise complaints. Not a bad gig, in my opinion. McCarty was one of the only

offices hiring when we moved to Seattle after graduation. Emmett was in immediately, and after I

struggled to find a job for two months, he put in a good word for me.

I was hired just like that.

Alice ended up opening her own clothing boutique downtown. Jasper worked at a pricey Day Salon

and plastic surgery center. And Rose had taken both of her degrees and gotten a job at an auto parts

supplier. Turns out guys who like cars also like girls who have boobs.

She sold a lot of chrome last summer.

Which brings me back to where we all were now.

So, yeah. Making fun of Emmett's junk may not have been the best move right before heading out to

the office.

"Sorry, Emmalemadingdong. I meant no harm. I guess I got spoiled over the last week in Florida. I

didn't have to hear hot monkey sex every day and I got a little used to it." I smirked at him as I

finished my juice and rinsed the cup.

Emmett stood up and stretched, his underwear riding lower on his massive and chiseled frame. I

tried not to stare, but the underwear had dipped just a wee bit too low and I was getting an

unexpected peep show. He ran his hands through his short dark curls and then over his face. Smiling

broadly at me, his dark brown eyes twinkling, he winked. "You don't look like you really mind all that

much, Bees."

Rose cocked an eyebrow in my direction and I blinked my eyes, shaking my head back and forth.

"You're like my brother, Em. Get a frackin' life."

I pushed past Rose's almost six foot frame and watched her long blond hair sway as she moved out of

my way. Her blue eyes snapped to Alice's door as it opened slowly and she and Jasper emerged.

God only knows what the two of them had been doing in there, but the smell of incense was filling

the hallway and I covered my mouth to keep from gagging. Alice was hyper and high strung, but

Jasper was the exact opposite. He was working on bringing her stress levels down and she had

confided in me that they had taken to doing Zen poses and tantric sex to try and eliminate her excess

energy.

Now the apartment smelled like ass, sex and a bong shop.

And I was still the only one not getting laid.

This was exactly how I pictured my first day back from vacation. Exactly.

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\\

By the time I got to work, all I could think about was how much I wished I were still on vacation.

Visiting my mom Renee and her husband Phil had been really relaxing. Renee was all up in my

business about my love life, or lack thereof, but otherwise it had been a nice trip.

I unlocked my office door and reached across my desk to turn on my lamp as I heard Emmett walking

by and exclaiming, "That's so messed up! Those knob polishing critics have no sense of taste!" I hung

my head in defeat. That man was a walking HR issue.

When we were at work, I tended to avoid Emmett so that there wasn't any gossip about our

friendship. When we were home, though, I would wrestle with him like he was a brother. It was a

fine line to walk, but we'd made it work for almost two years now.

I booted up my computer and checked my inbox, biting my lip at the amount of email I had acquired

in five days' time. After an hour of shuffling and sorting, I had a throbbing headache and needed a

caffeine fix. Pronto.

I slid back from my desk and grabbed my favorite coffee mug before I headed down the hall to the

break room. I passed by the head of HR's office where Randall was sitting at his desk and talking

animatedly to a head of hair I had never seen before. My curiosity got the best of me and I kept

looking over my shoulder as I walked to try and get a look at the new guy.

Within seconds I was on my knees on the floor, looking up at Mike Newton grinning sheepishly at

me.

"Bella, are you all right?" he laughed as he extended his hand to help me up. I looked down at the

ground and my heart sank as I saw that I had effectively broken my favorite mug.

I stood up and hung my head in mock sadness. "I broke my mug, dammit." I looked back up at Mike

as he continued to chortle. "I didn't break your face, did I?" I asked him while taking his cheeks in my

hands. I knew that my head had come into direct contact with his nose and I needed to cover my ass

before he filed Workman's Comp.

"I'm fine," he assured me as he bent over to grab the remains of my cup. He handed them back to me

and smiled. "Just another day in the life of the graceful Bella Swan, eh?"

I nodded and said I was sorry for ramming him with my head, then continued into the break room to

steal somebody else's mug. I searched the top shelves with my fingertips until I found one to use.

Filling my cup to capacity with sweetener and creamer, I sipped at the top before I tried to

concentrate on walking back to my office, all the while watching the creamy liquid crashing from side

to side and knowing deep down in my heart that I would never make it without a spill.

"Isabella," Randall's deep voice boomed from the hallway outside of his office. Startled, I turned

towards the sound of it and tripped on the carpet, sloshing the burning hot liquid in my stolen

Snoopy cup directly onto the front of my flimsy white shirt.

" Ow Iburntmy tits ," I complained louder than I had meant to. There was a sharp intake of breath

and I looked up into the disapproving eyes of mybossandthemostbeautifuldeeppoolsofmossy

green irises I had ever seen.

The burning on my boobs was nothing compared to the new burn that was flaming up quickly

through my cheeks as I pulled the sticky coffee laden fabric from my chest.

Beautiful eyed man looked at me with concern.

I gave up trying to find any dignity in the situation and sighed, extending my hand to the new

employee.

"Isabella, this is Edward. He starts today and I've already given him a tour." Randall said tightly.
