"I don't have time for this." Bella mumbles under her breath while she looks at her silver Movado watch. She looks up and the receptionist smiles at her. Bella gives her a sarcastic half smile and continues to fiddle with her watch.
She has to take care of this. And take care of it today. She has other appointments and she couldn't waste it on a billionaire who acts like baby and wanted to make everybody's life a living hell.
And that was what he was doing, making her life hell in many ways. Bella swallowed as she closed her eyes and saw the green eyes she's dreamt about for the past five months.
She was planning his wedding with her closest friends and college roommate Tanya. And a month before the wedding Tanya calls it quits with nothing but an apology for leaving Bella with the mess to clean up. And that's what she's doing today. Tanya left her cleaning up the mess with Edward Cullen.
Bella couldn't take it any more. She just wants to go settle everything and get her check and leave. She doesn't have to deal with Edward Cullen anymore after today. She doesn't have to see him anymore or talk to him on the phone.
Bella looks at her watch again and sucks her teeth. Bella gathers her briefcase and her jacket and walks up to the receptionist desk that was sitting under a big sign that red Cullen and Whitlock Enterprise.
"Excuse Me." Bella says and read her name plate and continues.
"Angela. Can you please call Mr. Cullen again and tell him to call me so we can make reschedule our time. Again."
Angela smiles at Bella.
"Sure."
She pushes button on the phone.
"Mr. Cullen. Miss Swan has asked me."
She was cut off.
"Sure sir. I'll tell her."
Angela looks at Bella and smiles again. She is really getting irritated with this smiley receptionist.
"Mr. Cullen is ready for you now. Please go down the hall and make a left. His office is at the end of the hall."
Bella eyes follows to were Angela was pointing.
Bella blew out a breath.
"Thank you."
"Sure and have a great day Miss. Swan."
Bella adjusts her jacket and walks to his office. Each step her heart is pounding harder and harder against her chest.
Ok Bella calm down. He is just Edward Cullen. Tanya's ex. Just settle everything and just get your check and go home. As she reaches his door she clears her throat and knocks on his mahogany door.
"Come in." Edward says in a stern voice.
Bella pushes open the heavy wood door and walked into his office with the amazing view of downtown Seattle. The view always takes her breath away but today it wasn't the view that was restricting her from breathing, but this beautiful man sitting behind the desk on the phone.
"No Eric that is not good enough. They were supposed to have the projections on your desk this morning."
Bella walks to the desk and without looking at her Edward holds up a finger and continues talking.
"I don't care what he says. You tell him to have the projections on your desk tomorrow morning or he's going to have a very nice visit from my lawyers. Oh Eric don't disappoint me again."
Edward hangs up the phone and blew out a breath, runs his fingers through his bronze hair and leans his head back on his leather chair. Bella watched as his jaw twitches and she fights everything in her power not to walk over to him and bite his strong jaw.
Bella clears her throat and Edward opens his eyes and stares at her with his hard green eyes. Her heart skips a beat.
"Miss. Swan. Thanks for coming. Let's get started."
Edward sits up on his leather chair and opens his drawer and pulls binder with receipts and contracts.
Bella chuckles.
Of course he doesn't' apologize. Miss. Swan sorry for keeping you from your other appointments. It is typical Edward Cullen, always thinking about himself and acting as if people should stop everything for him.
"Mr. Cullen. I called the caters and the floral shops and they are willing to give you half of the money you paid. I tried to talk them into giving the full refund. But it didn't work."
"Of course they wouldn't. She waited a month before the day to call off everything."
Bella flips through the page in her binder and told him the price they were willing to give him back. Edward agreed.
"That's great, please sign here."
Bella pushes the paper towards Edward and their fingers touch. Bella drew in a breath and pulls her hand back like it was just burned. She looks her fingers and looks up to his green eyes.
"Sorry."
She clears her throat and he drops his eyes to the paper and reads the agreement. He signs it quickly and pushes the paper towards her.
Bella flips through her binder again and pulls out another piece of paper.
"I spoke to the farm for the doves and they agreed that they will be glad to refund the full amount. They were very happy that they were mentioned in the magazine last month."
Edward blew out a breath like he had no interests. Bella pushes the paper towards him for his signature. But this time she made sure that they didn't touch. Edward leans closer to her and she was hit with the smell of his cologne and she closes her eyes to regain her composure.
"You think she would be here to take care of her of this."
She opens her eyes and stares into his hard green eyes.
"I spoke to the realtor and I told her that you didn't know if you want to keep the property. She told me that you have three days to let her know."
Bella's voice turned very husky. Her throat became very dry. Edward leans back against his chair and signs the paper.
Bella gets up and walks over to the water dispenser and pours some water and drinks it down in one gulp. She refills the paper cup and drinks it down quickly.
"Are you ok?"
Bella turns her head to look at Edward. She smiles and nods her head and walks over to the desk and sit down. Bella realize that her heart beating anymore it was between her legs. She crosses her leg to tries to calm her self down. But it isn't working.
"Did she tell you long it will take to sell?"
Bella swallows trying to calm everything down in her body and opens her binder again.
"She didn't say but she did fax over the new lease agreement to me and so I made a copy for you and myself for our records. And she told me that she would take Tanya off the lease."
The house the Tanya picked out was beautiful she had described to Bella. When she saw the 6 bedroom house she fell in love with it. Tanya babbled on and on how she and Edward would fill the house of with children, love and happiness. Then out of the blue Tanya didn't want to settle down with Edward anymore. She wanted to be free. And free she became and into the arms of a famous artist name Marcus Walker. It was splashed in the front pages for the entire world to see. Billionaire Edward Cullen dumped and Tanya all over the world having fun. And Bella is here to cleaning up after her as always for as long as Bella can remember.
Bella pushes the agreement to him and Edward picks it up and flips through the pages and he scrunches his eyebrows.
"I hope the agreement is ok with you. I can call her back if you like."
Edward looks at her.
"No it seems like everything is in order. Now that this done. We have to go over the stuff in the house."
"At your house?"
"Yes is that a problem?"
Bella chuckles and Edward's eyebrow shoot up.
"No not at all but I thought you were going to send me the list of the properties and the value of each. So I can fax it over to Alice at the auction house."
Edward got up from his chair and walks over to big windows overlooking the streets of downtown Seattle.
"I spoke to my sister and I sent her over the list to her but I thought you should double check since you know what your…"
Edward stops himself and puts his hands into his grey slack pockets.
"friend brought. Maybe you would want to look and find something you want."
Bella didn't want anything. She just wanted to be far from this man. The man she wanted for 5 months now. The man that was with one of her closets friends. The man she dreamt about every night since Tanya's birthday party. Bella knew Edward since he started dated Tanya last year. Then at Tanya's party she sat with Edward out in the back under the moon and stars and fell in love with him.
Bella knew it was wrong and she hide it from her friend and from Edward.
"The movers will be at the house in an hour."
Edward's voice brought her back.
"I will meet you there."
Bella sighs and got her things and left his office.
~~x~~
Bella bangs on the green door and there was no answer.
"He better be there." She mumbles under her breath
She turns the knob and finds it unlock. She walks into Edward's loft apartment. She notices pictures of Edward and Tanya still up on the walls and famous paintings and trinkets they picked from their trips.
That's when it hit her. This must be hard for him. His love leaving him only a month before they tie the knot. And to come home and see the life you used to have the woman you love. He loves her. He loves Tanya and he doesn't see you in that way.
Bella walks to the living room and notices a glass and a bottle or red wine on the counter.
"You're here."
Bella turns around and sees Edward holding a statue that Tanya told her they picked up in Italy.
"Get yourself a glass of wine."
She walks to the counter and puts her purse down. Bella reaches for the bottle and pours herself a glass and takes a sip. The sweet wine rolls down her throat.
"I hope you like it."
She takes another sip.
"I do."
Edward puts the statue down and walks to her.
"The movers called and they will be here in three hours. They didn't know the last job would have taken this long. So I called the auction house to let them know the shipment would be late."
Late! She cancelled with her client for no absolute reason. Bella puts her glass down and opens her purse to pull out her blackberry. Maybe it isn't too late to set something up with her client.
"Do you know where Tanya is?"
Edward was behind her. She froze and closes her eyes. She smells his cologne and the wine on his breath. He is very close. All she has to do is lean her head back on his chest or turn to face him and kiss him.
"I don't know where she is."
He turns her to face him and she can see he is getting angry.
"Yes you do. She is your friend and she wouldn't just take off without telling you."
Bella pushes him back because he is standing very close to her. She starts to breath very heavy.
"I told you I don't know where she is! I don't have to stand here and take this. Just fax over the list to me and mail my check to my office. We are done here Mr. Cullen."
She grabs her bag and walks pass him. Edward grabs her arm and pulls her to him. Bella crashes her body to him and he crashes his lips to hers. She tastes the wine on his tongue when he pushes it into her all too willing mouth.
Edward pushes her to wall and pins her there with his body. Bella's hand flew to his hair and he groans against her lips. Edward moves his lips to her neck and she moans out his name. Edward lifts her up with her legs around his waist and kisses her hungrily. He carries her up the stairs to his bedroom and kicks the door close. Edward drops her on the bed and they start to tear at each other like hungry animals.
He removes her soaked underwear and plunged his 2 fingers inside her wet hole. Bella gasps against his mouth. She tries to match the movement of his fingers but all she could do is shake from the pleasure he was bringing her too.
"I want you. I want you."
She chants over and over against his hair.
He removes his fingers and plunges himself deep inside her.
"Oh God." Edward says.
His thrusts are long and deep into her and he stops himself. Bella wanted more. She wanted him to move inside her. Fill her with his member. She wants to hear her name escape his lips. She grinds against him and he groans.
He starts to move faster and faster and she feels the wave start from her toes.
"Come with me."
Edward spreads her legs wider and starts pounding into her. The feeling was pure ecstasy and she didn't want him to stop. He pounds into her until they are both are drained of their desires.
The only noise that was heard in the loft is their heavy breathing. Edward lifts his head off her shoulder and looks into her eyes. Bella lifts her hand and strokes Edward's cheek. He bends his head and starts to kiss her again. She feels him filling her again.
He kisses her neck and pushes into her again. And they experienced each other again.
Bella wakes up to the Edward's soft snoring. She turns to look at him and smile. She didn't know it would be like this with him. One moment he was like an animal devouring his prey then the next he was tender and did everything to please her. And she's never experienced that. Her heart is bursting from the joy she just shared with him. Her eyes start to glisten with tears in them.
Bella turns to her side to get a better view of his beautiful face. She starts to trace his eyebrows, his nose, and his jaw with her finger. He opens his eyes and she jumps back and gave him a nervous laugh. He closes his eyes again and opens them up to look at her.
"I ummm."
Edward sits up and pulls the cover off of his naked body. She sits up and covers her self and watches Edward get up and start to get dressed.
What happened?
"The movers will be here soon. We should get dressed."
He walks to the bathroom and close the door. Bella push her hair back and can't believe what just happened. She was sitting here basking in the glow of what they shared together and he couldn't get away from her fast enough. Did he regret what they did? She got off the bed and starts to get dress. She grabs her shoes and looks at the crumbled bed they just made love in.
Bella place her hand to her mouth to muffle her cries so Edward wouldn't hear her. She left the room and run downstairs and grabs her purse and leaves his loft.
EPOV
Edward couldn't believe what he's done. He just took advantage of Bella. He couldn't control himself anymore. She walks into his off in her suit and all he can think of how much he wanted to peel her clothes off. And her fragrance was driving him crazy. As soon as she walked into his officer, her scent filled the room.
But the last thing he wanted to do was hurt her. But that's what he did. He opened his eyes and saw the tears building in her eyes. He was engaged to her friend. Bella was innocent. And she got caught in the fire. He wanted Tanya to pay what she did but he didn't want to take out on Bella.
Edward closes his eyes and licks his lips. He could still taste her. Edward remembered how she felt in his hands. He remembered the softness of her skin and the taste of her body on his tongue. He has to apologize what he did. He has to make it right.
He opened the bathroom door and notices she is gone.
"Bella."
He left the bedroom and went down the stairs calling after her but got no response. Edward notices her purse is gone.
There is a knock on the door.
"Bella?"
He opens the door and it is the movers. Edward dropped his shoulders and let them in.
For 11 weeks Edward tried everything to get into contact with Bella but no word. He even tried to send her a check with the full of amount owed thinking she would come back to the office to remind him he was only suppose to pay 10% of what was agreed. But she just sent the check back with a note of the correct amount.
This was driving him crazy. All he could think about is the afternoon they spent together. All he can hear is how she moaned his name. He member twitched. Edward needs to get away. He pressed the intercom and his secretary answered.
"Yes Edward."
He presses the button again.
"Sheila can you please come to my office."
A heavy set woman in her mid 40's walks into his office.
"Yes."
"I need for you to make a few calls for me."
She smiles at him.
"Shoot." She says
"I need for you to have the house in the Cayman Island ready for me. I want to get a flight to leaving tomorrow."
"You do need a vacation Edward. You haven't been yourself lately."
"I will call the clients and let them know that I will be gone and that Jasper will handle everything for me. But I will be checking in my e-mails from time to time."
"Promise me something." Sheila says while pouring water into a glass and setting it in front of Edward.
"Depends what it is."
He loves Sheila. She was like a mother to him. His work mother. She knew exactly what he needed and she was very good at her job.
Sheila sucks her teeth.
"Please take a break. You need it. You work to hard. And I know why."
He looked at her. Did she know what happened between him and Bella?
"You've been a ghost since she called off the wedding."
Edward smiles.
"I can't promise you anything but I will try."
Sheila smiles back.
"That's all I can ask for."
She walks back to her desk to make the arrangements for his departure tomorrow.
"Jasper that is exactly what we have to do. Send Harrison a bottle of the best champagne and a box of cigars he likes and set up a meeting with him."
Edward is walking in the airport to catch his flight to go to the Cayman Islands. The airport is packed with people going to different parts of the world for either business or pleasure. Edward sees a little girl staring up at him with wide eyes and he smiles at her.
"That's a good idea but you are supposed to be on vacation."
"This is important for the company. And he is starting to buckle. It is our time to reel him in before he snagged by another company. And I want him on board. Scratch that he must be on board with us. And his company would excellent for future business."
Jasper blew out a breath.
"Can anything stop you?"
Edward laughs.
"Nope nothing can."
"Your sister is very worried about you."
"I know she is. Tell your wife not to worry. I will call the family when I land."
While Edward is walking by the newsstand something catches his eye that makes him stop dead in his tracks. He walks to the magazine stand and picks up The National Enquirer.
"Jasper I am going to call you back."
Before Jasper could respond Edward hangs up the phone. On the magazine were two faces he knew.
Famous artist Marcus Walker spotted at an Aids Function for children with girlfriend Tanya Simone.
Tanya is wearing a very sexy black Vera Wang dress. She only wears the best. Tanya and Marcus are hugging with a huge smile on their faces. But that's not what stopped him.
Famous wedding planner Isabella Swan is expecting her first child.
They had a picture of Bella coming out a restaurant with her brother Emmett and his girlfriend Rosalie. Pregnant? Bella is pregnant. Edward opens to the magazine to read more about this.
Edward found it and there was a picture of Bella and her ex Jacob Black and another picture of Bella coming out of an OB/GYN office.
A source reveals that famous wedding planner Isabella Swan is indeed expecting her first child next spring with off again on again boyfriend Jacob Black.
Edward crumbled the paper closed.
"Hey."
Edward flared his nose and turned his gaze at the newsstand guy. He pulls out his wallet and threw a bill at him. Edward didn't care what it was he just picked up his bag and told him to keep the change. That's why she left in such a hurry and she looked so sad for what she did. She was with Jacob again. Bella could have stopped him but she didn't. Now he really doesn't have a chance with her and it hurt worst than Tanya leaving him. Edward threw the magazine in the garbage and walked to the first class area for his flight.
BPOV
Bella is standing in front of her full length mirror trying to close her jeans but the bulge of her belly is stopping it from closing. Bella throws her head back and drops her arms to her side hitting her hips. She lifts up her shirt and turns to her side to show her little belly. She sighs and touches it. She is showing now. Bella tilts her head to the side and massages her little bump.
She swallows back tears. Bella was overjoyed with this pregnancy but something was missing. Someone was missing. Edward was missing. He didn't care and it was obvious he didn't want to have anything to do with her or the baby. This was her child and hers alone. She didn't need him or that's what she told herself over and over. But she does. Bella wants him to be part of their lives if not hers at least his child's life. Why make their baby suffer for what he feels was a mistake they made.
Bella sent a letter to his home telling Edward she was pregnant with his child. But she found out from Alice that he went tot the Cayman Islands. Alice says he needed to get a way because of what Tanya did to him. But she knew better. He needed to get away from her. What it that horrible between them?
Bella moved to the bed and started to cry.
"Bella!"
She sat up and wiped her eyes. Rosalie bounced into her room.
"Hey mamma."
She hugs Bella and makes her laugh.
"You made the paper again."
Bella took the paper and reads the headlines.
Isabella Swan rushed to hospital due to complication with pregnancy. Jacob Black spotted with new mystery woman. Details inside.
Rosalie giggles and snatches the enquirer from her.
"When did you go to hospital?"
Bella rolls her eyes and gets up from the bed.
"I only have one complication."
Bella lifts up her shirt to show her little belly and she tries to close her jeans.
"You're just showing. It's ok. Don't let Alice know this. Hey when are you going to tell who the father really is?"
Bella scoffed at Rosalie and walked to the closet to find something else to wear.
"Yeah. Ok. Let me just grab my phone."
Bella grabs her cell phone off her nightstand and put it to her ears.
"Hey enquirer I have a scoop for you. The slut Isabella Swan slept with her close friend's fiancé Edward Cullen a month after she called off their wedding. And he just took off and left her pregnant."
"You don't know that."
Bella tuned to look at Rosalie.
"Oh yeah I do. He didn't call or write to let me know he got the letter I sent. He just jumped on a plane and didn't even look back. Alice didn't even mention it. She doesn't even know that means he hasn't even mentioned it anybody. So the baby and I are fine."
Rosalie walked over to Bella.
"I spoke to Alice and Edward came back last night. You should call him. Just in case.
"I am not going to call him. Sorry Rose I made up my mind."
"Stubborn. Get dressed so we can go out to eat. I am starving."
Rosalie bounced out of the room while Bella pulled out a grey sweater dress. Bella shook out her wavy hair and walked out of the room to meet Emmett and Rosalie.
The Thai restaurant they decided to go was packed. There are people sitting at the bar drinking and laughing having a good time. The waitress walked them through a door and led them to a seating area. The tables are covered with white table cloths and the room is dimly lit with candles hanging from the walls and on the tables.
The waitress leads them to table and Emmett pulls he chair out for the two loves of his life, his sister and his soul mate.
"Thanks babe."
Rosalie says and touches his strong shoulder. Emmett blushes a trait he shares with his sister. Bella opens the menu when she feels somebody staring at her. She looks up and locks eyes with a familiar pair of eyes.
"My God." She whispers under her breath.
