I do not own Twilight or the characters in my story I just thank Stephanie Meyer for making a great book series.
Edward POV
I lay next to Bella on her bed we were intertwined as usual and I was trying to get her to sleep. Bella can be so stubborn but at least I was getting what I wanted. It was three days until our wedding and we were both pretty happy. Cant say the same for Charlie though.
Charlie had been against me since we came back from Italy and did not like it when Bella and I told him we were getting married. I wonder what would happen if he ever found out that I stay with Bella all night in her room. I shudder at the thought.
At that moment Bella pulled herself up and pressed her lips to mine. I kissed her back remembering to be careful with her. I knotted my hands into her hair and she did the same to my hair. As always Bella tried to get more out of me than usual. I sighed at her attempt and started to pull away. "Bella……" I whispered trying to tell her enough was enough, I think she got the idea. She also sighed and fell back onto my chest where I stroked her hair.
I don't know why but I had a strange feeling about tonight. Alice had warned me not to go if I did intend to marry Bella. She had blocked her head so I couldn't see why. that's why I came anyway. I couldn't stay away from Bella for long either so that will be my fallback excuse if I get in trouble.
Just then Bella pulled me into another kiss but this time she didn't take it too far. Well she hadn't yet so I let the kiss commence. she wound her fingers into my tousled bronze hair as she usually did. I don't think anything would ruin this moment for either of us. Bella started gasping for breath as her heart raced. I gasped for breath too. Even though I didn't need the air I was pulling in it felt wrong not to breathe.
Charlie POV
Bella was in a rush to get to bed tonight. I thought to myself she is never that early, and she never makes me go to bed this early was she trying to sneak out? Was the plan get to bed and ready so she could sneak out when I was asleep? Would she be out with her so called fiancé. I hate that Cullen kid. After what he did to her how can she even speak to him?
I'm glad I recorded my snoring for emergencies. If she was getting ready then she would stop as soon as she heard me so if I wanted to get her then I had to be sneaky. I think ill put my gun belt on just in case. I don't know what to expect. I pressed the play button on the recorder I'd used and the sound of my snoring filled the room. Do I really snore that loud? I thought to myself but I couldn't focus on that right now.
I tiptoed to Bella's room not knowing what to expect. It was quiet in there I couldn't hear anything. Then I heard Bella gasping for breath. She had someone with her in there. But who? What was she doing in there? I was curious so I waited soon someone sighed and the gasping slowed down. "thanks for not pulling away, Edward" I only just heard Bella's voice and I wish I hadn't. she had Edward Cullen it there with her I knew it. "I'm dead." he muttered for some reason. Too right he was. why was he in my daughters room doing who knows what?
I decided I was going to burst in. so I got hold of the doorknob and almost yanked the door off its hinges I yanked so hard. I gasped in horror, surprise and anger. For there lying next to my daughter in her bed -with no top on- was that vial man, her fiancé, Edward Cullen. I was going to kill him I had a gun and I was prepared to use it. "what are you doing there you-you…" I wasn't even going to finish.
Only Bella gasped he must have known I was there. I was so angry now I could kill him, I would kill him. I reached for the gun in my pocket "no Charlie you don't want to do that." Edward had his hands up and was shaking his head. How dare he talk to me like that! "Dad no!" Of course Bella would wine he was her fiancé. I didn't care I pulled out the gun and aimed for him.
Edward POV
He was going to shoot me. Now I see what Alice meant by trouble. It's a good thing I'm bullet-proof. But Charlie didn't know that and I would've liked to keep it that way thank you. He aimed at me "no Charlie you don't want to do that." I said putting my hands up and shaking my head. He didn't listen to me, a wasted attempt i thought. But he did put a disgusted look on his face and thought: How dare he talk to me like that! Bella was practically In hysterics. I knew she didn't want her dad to find out about this.
"Dad no!" Bella sobbed. I could read his mind and he didn't care. He just pulled out a gun and aimed for me. This sent Bella sobbing harder. "Bullet-proof. Remember?" I whispered into her ear low enough that Charlie couldn't hear. She nodded but kept sobbing I couldn't stop her when she started sobbing.
Just then Charlie pulled the trigger sending a speeding bullet my way. I pushed Bella out of the way and took the bullet straight in the chest were my heart was supposed to be. Good shot, Charlie. I thought. But now I had to deal with the fact that he was going to find out I wouldn't die, that I couldn't die. that would upset Bella very much.
I sat there staring at Charlie now. He stared too with thoughts like why isn't he dead? running thought his head. The next thing I knew Bella had her arms around me. She was still sobbing so I felt the need to comfort her
"Edward……" she sobbed into my chest.
"It's okay Bella, love."
"no its not!" I forgot Charlie was standing there he growled the words at me. Bella looked up wit tears streaming from her face. "Why n-not dad?" she said between sobs before turning back to me and once again pressing her face into my rock hard chest. I stroked her hair and kissed her forehead trying to calm her down. It wasn't working though.
Bella POV
I knew there was nothing to worry about. But even with Edwards comforting words and kisses I couldn't stop sobbing. Charlie knew Edward was bullet-proof now and that would mean he would get suspicious about Edward.
At that moment Charlie stomped over to us and took my wrist he pulled me away from Edward and out the door into his room. I didn't want to think of what he thought we were doing. I wish I thought to myself knowing how he would have jumped to conclusions if it wasn't for Edwards stupid rules that would probably have been what we would be doing.
"Bella how could you? You aren't even married to this… man and you have him in your room doing who knows what!" he shouted
"I wish…" I muttered under my breath. I heard Edward sigh in my room I knew he could hear us. His super hearing probably made it sound like we were next to him.
"I cant believe you Bella! You-your grounded!"
"For what?" I asked between sobs. I was starting to get angry at Charlie for trying to act like a parent. He never did. Plus I was a legal adult now so he couldn't boss me around as much. Charlie's face turned a shade of purple than red he looked like he was going to explode "get him out" he said between gritted teeth I knew he was very angry by now. This is why I hadn't told him.
I knew Edward would be gone anyway but I walked into my room obediently. He was gone but he'd left a note on my bed. It was addressed to the soon to be Mrs. Cullen I flipped it open and started to read it
Bella,
I'm sorry for your father finding out. Alice warned me something bad was going to happen tonight. I didn't listen to her and for that I am sorry. If I had listened and not given in to my selfishness that told me to come and see you none of this would have happened.
I should've been more careful, Bella. I should have read Charlie's thoughts but because he was always asleep I didn't see the point. Well, come and see me tomorrow at my house if Alice and Esme don't stop my existence by then.
It looks like I'm going to be band from your house while you're there but I cant be banned after we are married. Call me when you get chance, love, I'll be waiting for you call.
See you soon, Bella.
I love you.
Signed Edward.
The note brought tears to my eyes. Not only did Edward blame himself but he had to go home to Alice and Esme. Who both knew what had happened by know thanks to Alice. I think he had it the worse though. I could work my way around Charlie. Speaking of Charlie guess who just stormed into my room?
Charlie POV
Bella held a tiny note in her hand.I Snatched it off her to read. I skim read it before Bella pulled it out of my hands. He was damn right he wasn't coming in my house ever again! But what did it mean about reading my thoughts and how I was always was asleep? "Bella, tell me how often he comes." I asked curious to know what he meant by 'but because he was always asleep I didn't see the point.' I saw her flinch she was hiding something from me "BELLA!" I shouted hoping for an answer. She didn't give me one.
I thought for a minute before she broke into tears. Maybe I'd pushed her too hard. Bella rushed over to me and pulled me into a hug
"I'm- s-s-s-sorry d-d-d-dad" she said between sobs. I hugged her back.
"It's okay bells" I said trying to comfort her. "Get some rest, you look shattered." I added hoping she would. I'd check on her in the morning before I left. see if she was still there. I walked out of the room and switched the light off. When I found my way to my bed I fell into a deep sleep before I even took my gun out of my pocket.
Bella POV
As soon as Charlie left my room I pulled my cell phone from the bedside table were it sat. I dialled Edward's number. He answered after 2 rings.
"Bella!" he shouted very happy to hear my voice
"Edward!" I shouted quietly very happy to hear his voice too. "Oh Edward! I was so worried! Have Alice and Esme got to you yet?" I asked anxious to hear what happened
"Yes……" he answered simply
"And?"
"I'm grounded. I'm not allowed out unless accompanied by Alice and that's only to go hunting. All the vampires in the house and I had to be attached to the annoying physic one!" I had to laugh at this. Edward hardly ever got annoyed and it was funny when he did get annoyed.
"want me to call the 'annoying physic' and ask how the wedding plans are going so you can sneak away?" I asked more cheery than before
"no, I'll deal with her my way." This made me laugh
"well I'm not grounded I don't think I'll come see you tomorrow first thing, ok?"
"phew, what a relief! I didn't get you grounded. Well, I'll see you tomorrow, love."
"I miss you already…" I said ending the conversation and snapping the phone shut.
The night hadn't gone well. But I came out with everything almost the same. Maybe Charlie wouldn't have noticed Edward being bullet-proof and life would go back to normal. I could only hope. At the minute I was happy just that I could still be with Edward and Charlie couldn't stop me. For now he couldn't anyway.
what do you think? i think ill make this a oneshot but if people comment i might write more of it.
