Secrecy, Lust and Paparazzi
Chapter 1- Caugh Out
Bella POV
"You," he began, "have a lot of explaining to do missus!" he yelled, tossing his coat in the closet, revealing a very badly buttoned up shirt.
Oh crap! Does he know? How does he know? The only other person minus me and Edward who could possibly have any idea about this whatsoever would be Alice, but she isn't here... "I do?" I asked in a nonchalant manner, he obviously saw right through it, when I act on the stage or on the big screen I am so much better because I can pretend a LOT easier when the script has nothing to do with me at all.
"What were you doing today?" he asked, more shocked that I didn't open the door instantly. I shrugged and walked toward the stairs. "You showered yesterday." he smirked, smugness very clear on his face.
"I spilled drink down me last night." I lied, he seemed to believe it a little, I am clumsy enough in real life but add booze to the mix and you have a ticking time bomb for disaster. He shrugged and put his umbrella back in the stand, but paused. My memory was a little faded of the earlier moments so I didn't understand until he pulled out my belt I wore last night. "About that..." I trailed, his eyes narrowing on me.
He walked towards me and I was very afraid. He knew I had someone here last night, who had left this morning. He would always just know but now he had cold hard evidence. "Who was he?"
"Nobody!" I laughed, he was now two feet away from me, staring me down. "I'm serious! Would I lie to you?"
"Well you are not telling me the truth now so I guess the answer is hell yes, now explain!" his voice got louder to the end of his command.
"Well where were YOU last night?" he gazed softened and turned to fear that the tables had been turned. "Messed up buttons on the shirt, pants creased badly, messy hair and, wet too. Someone got some action too I see." I smirked.
"So you admit it?" Jazz' eyebrows rose. Shit! I nodded and turned to make a mad dash for the stairs. "Then who was he?"
"Does it matter? I got some, you got some too. What harm was done?" I shrugged, now half way up the stairs when Jasper blocked my exit on both sides, pinning me to the wall.
"Did you protect?" he hissed, getting closer to me. I groaned and ducked under his arm to my bedroom. "Well did you?! ...You didn't Bells!" he put his face in his palm and stood in the doorway as I got changed into the outfit I had laid out.
"Actually we did!" I lied, we didn't think, it was his fault, I was pissed out of my skull. But I am taking the pill when I have time so no harm done. "Get off my back Jazz! Did you and Alice?" I quizzed, hands on my hips and full of attitude. He went quiet and looked away. "Hypocrite! You are such a hypocrite, I can't believe you sometimes."
"Just tell me who it was that screwed you and left and I will get off your back." He sighed, my stance turning from peeved off to incredibly peeved off.
"He left 'cos of the pure fact that I knew you would do this and so I told him to scoot on out and I will call him." I spluttered out of my mouth. My two hands shot to cover my
"You, you have his number?" he asked, and I froze. He would rugby tackle me for the phone, he has done it before. "Let me, let me call him Bells?" He asked, walking towards me, I shook my head warily at his request and he took a deep breath. "Bella, I love you and just want to talk to this ass hole and make sure his intentions are good." He breathed; me still shaking my head. I ran into my on suite bathroom and locked the door. "Bella! Come on I am sorry."
I flipped open my cell and dialled the number he had given me a while ago for 'connections' he had put it at the time. "Hello?" answered and unfamiliar voice. My eyebrows pulled together as jasper yelled apologies and pleads for me to emerge from my fortress of safety.
"Hi, who is this?"
Edward POV
I got changed in the bushes of Bella's apartment block after making a mad dash down her fire escape. I planned on mailing her dressing gown back to her in case people witnessed me giving me her the garment. I casually got into my car and drove home.
I opened the door silently and crept inside, trying to close the door quiet but as soon as I got the door closed I turned to see my sister Alice, stood there, staring at me. "H-hey, Alice!" I greeted, her small arms folded across her tiny body. "What's up?" I asked, playfully punching her tiny motionless arm. Her gaze narrowed and the tension built up.
"Just panicking about where my brother was last night." She glared; I knew this was far from over. "So, where were you?" she quizzed.
"No where you need to know about." I returned. Anger became present on her face. I felt her grab my arm and launch her onto my back, covering my eyes in the process. "Ugh! Alice, get off of my damn back!" I ordered.
"No way!" she smirked, leaning further towards my ear she continued, "Not until you tell me the truth." She giggled uncontrollably and we spun around in a sad attempt -that was failing- to get her off my back. "Just do it, you know you want to."
"Fine!" I yelled, and in that instant she shot off of my back. "I was with a girl, there no lies anymore." I smirked, she scowled, knowing she wanted more but denying her that privilege. I walked further to the stairs to go and change, the same clothes as the night before is not attractive in any way. But as I stepped onto the first step, my brother Emmett appeared in front of me.
"AMBUSH!" he yelled, using his bulky arms to pin me to the ground. Alice laughed angelically and I flinched under the control of my siblings. I just wanted to dream about the next time I would see Bella. I wanted her, no I needed her with me but of course, she only wanted that one night, she said she would call but I didn't suspect her too. She made it very clear about this time yesterday I was a waste of space. Then my phone went off with Bella's ringtone. Shit. Alice slipped the phone out of my pocket and handed it to Emmett. "Hello?" he asked putting my Bella on speaker. Lucky for me Emmett was too dumb to check the caller ID.
"Hi, who is this?" I heard her ask, Alice tensed up, like she recognised the voice. I started flailing more under Emmett's grip and Alice gagged me with an apple.
"This Emmett, Emmett Cullen, and who are you?" I heard her gasp. Crap Bella, don't let the cat out of the bag please?
"I am a friend of Edwards, can you put him on please?" she asked, very politely keeping her cool. Thankful, as she put on a little more of an accent throwing off Alice, she loosened a little form being tense to being relaxed and looked down to me.
"Sorry," Emmett boomed down the phone, I could imagine the ear splitting pain that must have caused my Bella. "He is currently... incapacitated," he smirked. I managed to loosen the grip on the apple in my mouth and spat it out.
"So you know a word longer than cat or dog?" I heard Bella laughed, beautiful as per usual. "Hang up Be-" I started, Alice's head shot round from trying to round up the rolling apple, to staring at the phone. I heard the line disconnect and Alice screamed in defeat. "You will never know who she is now!" I challenged, Emmett closing the phone and handing it to Alice.
"Helloooo! Ever heard a call list?" she mocked, I struggled even more and she gasped, looked down at me, writhing around on the floor with my brother. "Edward, you and Bella?!" she sounded especially shocked. "How? Why?"
"She made the first move, and we did it because we wanted to do it. Problem?" I asked, Alice waving her hand at Emmett to let me up.
"No hard feelings? I only did it 'cos she has blackmail on me. Rosalie can't know about that time at band camp right?" Emmett joked to me. I rolled my eyes and shook my head. I ran up the stairs and slammed the door in rage. I could still hear Alice and Emmett debating on whether to tell people or keep my secret. They decided that was mine and Bella's job, I just hoped she had a better time keeping it from Jasper before we could decide our next move.
There was a knock on my door with a very guilty looking pixie with a giant gummy bear. "We have decided it is your job to tell people, we won't hold our tongues for long so I guess you need her number to sort this out." She sighed, handing me my phone. I nodded and closed the door on them. I went into my on suite so they couldn't listen in.
The phone rang and then a very heavy breathing Bella answered. "Edward! Oh my god I have been hyperventilating since I called. What happened?" she asked, the silence dragging on gave her answer. "Oh god, I have to tell Jasper don't I?"
"If this is going to get a normal thing then yes. If you don't want anything more than a fling then no, not entirely, you wouldn't have to tell him." I gave her time to look over her options. She was silent for a long time and I checked the phone hadn't disconnected on me. Nope, she was still there. "Bella? You okay?"
"What do YOU want Edward? I am not alone in this choice." My eyes bugged out of my face, like when I saw her underwear last night or early this morning. I stuttered a little trying to get my words out of my mouth.
"I would like to be with you. For you to be mine only, and me to be yours only. It will be easier for the company too, if we WERE dating but that is not my reason before you think it!" I blurted, smooth Edward, very smooth. "It felt, right, last night. I can't explain but it was different than the other girls I have slept with."
"Then get your hot ass over here pronto, I need to know Jasper won't kill me when I tell him." She giggled that beautiful giggle that she made last night when I was over.
"As you wish my Bella." I laughed and hung up. I exited my room once I was changed and opened my door to have a pixie fall on my feet. "Were you listening all that time?" she nodded sheepishly and grinned. "I went into the bathroom to make the call. Silly pixie!" I commented, leaving the house with my keys, phone and my pride, not sure whether it would still be in my possession after we tell Jasper.
I drove for a while until I pulled up outside Bella's apartment building. Breathing heavily with nerves, I have never had a stable relationship before; this has never had to happen to me either. I was brave, independent but also a nervous train wreck when it came to confrontations like this. Where I could be attacked by my future girlfriends big brother. Before I knew it Bella came looking for me and spotted me in my car having a panic attack. "Edward?" she asked, tapping on the window, my head shooting to look at her flawless face. I whispered damn but I don't think she heard as her expression didn't change. I rolled the window down and she smiled. "Would you be more comfortable for this to happen near a car he can easily damage?" she joked, and I was out of my car like a light. I caught her as in knocked her off of her feet, she smiled from ear to ear and steadied her to her feet.
"How mad is he that you got laid?" I asked, chuckling as I said it. The phrase was insensitive to the situation but it was appropriate for what we did.
She gave me an apologetic smile and looked straight ahead of us. "Oh." Was all I could say. "Maybe we shouldn't tell him just yet." I backed out. I am such a wimp ass.
"Aww, don't be a wimp ass." Bella pleaded, it's like we are on the same wavelength together, which made we want to do this more but I actually DIDN'T want a black eye. I nodded rigidly as I continued to walk, clinging to Bella tighter than I have ever before. "Chill. I made him promise not to kill you, scout's honour." She made the scout sign and my eyebrows shot up.
"Y-you have a scout... costume?" oh no Edward, bad way to take the conversation, especially now, I could stop this when are in the elevator, have some wild sex and then go and see Jasper, would he know? Stop, we can screw around later.
She nodded seductively, stroking my arm. "And if you go in and talk to my brother, I will wear it for you." She whispered in my ear, making me twitch a little from the arousal. She laughed a little and we proceeded into the elevator. I was so nervous, my habit came into the elevator as I was tapping my knee impatiently, nervously and most of all excitedly.
Bella POV
That must be his nervous habit, tapping. I constantly tuck pieces of hair behind my ears and subtly un-hook them once they are all done so I can redo them. I was doing this before I realised and the noticed, my very observant love. "Is that your thing?" he asked, breaking the silence in the elevator shaft.
I blushed scarlet and nodded silently. He chuckled a deep throaty chuckled and pulled me into his arms. "I just don't want him to hit you in the face. It would be difficult to kiss don't you think?" and on cue he lips crashed onto mine.
"Then let's kiss right now," he whispered on my lips, his sweet breath surrounding my nose. I threw my arms around his neck and stood on my tiptoes to reach him, he was also, incredibly tall. He picked me up a little until the ding went on the elevator, revealing my apartment. "Show time." He whispered into my ear and we walked through.
"Jazz?" I called. "Funny he was he said he would be here." Confusion filling me as I inspected a note written by him.
'Bella and Bella's Lover,
Sorry had to go to Alice's it was urgent apparently so yeah
See you two soon, love Jazz.'
"We are alone," I smiled when his arms wrapped around me. "What are you waiting for?" I giggled as he lifted me up under his arm.
Jazz POV
"Alice?" I called as I knocked on the door. The door swung open and Emmett emerged. "Hey Em, is Alice here?" I asked, the obvious was that she was here but was in the bathroom or something.
"Yeah buddy, come on in!" the loudness of his voice always scared me at first, I think it always will. "ALICE!" he hollered, my beautiful fiancée stood before me.
She jumped into a hug with me, as almost everyone she met I was mountains taller than her, very hard to hug. Either I broke my back bending down or she would miss on the jump and go flying, Emmett loved it when that would happen. "You caught me," she breathed, making me laugh at her.
"Yeah, what did you want to see me about, I wanted to meet Bella's lover." I cringed at the last word, I didn't like it when people touched my sister. Alice's eyes widened at the thought me meeting him, did she know who it was? "Alice, what do you know that I don't?"
"Well..."
Sorry about the shortness, and cliffy. I will update as soon as but it my first day back at school today so wish me luck! I am struggling cos vampire powers would be a lot more interesting but I can't now, all human and such. Please review cos the more reviews the more ideas I could get off you, my readers. The happier I will be and the more inspiration I could have to write a new chapter too. A little bit of a bribe but oh wells.
