Hearts Collide ~ Chapter 3
"Do you think this counts as our first date Baby?" Edward whispered as we helped the sleepy kids pack up and prepare to leave camp.
"I guess so…" I giggled while I checked names off on lists, threw teddy bears over to kids who had dropped them and helped other kids get items into their back packs.
"Good to know." He nodded.
"Here you go Sam I think this is your wolf."
"Thanks Edward, I thought I had lost him!" the small dark haired boy looked very relieved to have his soft toy back. "Edward?"
"Yes Sam?"
Edward knelt down so he was at eye level with the shy 10 year old boy before him.
"Do you think Miss Bella is pretty?" he whispered.
"Why do you ask Sam?" Edward spoke softly and quietly back to him, tilting his head to the side.
Boys can not whisper, I heard every word, but was not prepared for what was said next.
"Well…because me and Jacob think she is very pretty and Jacob says he is going to marry Miss Bella...but I said you were going to marry her." He spoke all his words in one fast gasp.
"Oh..." Edward wasn't sure what to say to him.
I looked at Edward and raised my eyebrow at him.
"Well Sam, You are quiet correct Miss Bella is very pretty…and I am going to marry her, if she will say yes when I ask her…"
Sam nodded and lifted his hand up to knuckle bump Edwards. "Sweet Edward."
I turned around, giggling like a school girl. Edward was going to marry me one day!
I didn't realise I had said it out loud. The words left my lips just as I felt his lips on my neck.
"I am going to marry you one day Miss Bella!"
I wanted to kiss him long and slow right here and right now but there were too many little pairs of eyes looking at us.
Stepping back, I asked Sam if he had all his stuff packed now.
"Yes Miss Bella." He nodded before shouting out down the room.
"JACOB! Miss Bella is going to marry Edward! I just asked him!"
A sullen looking boy had just wandered into the dorm the boys slept in.
He glared at Edward and tried to stand up taller, but he didn't even reaching Edwards ribs.
"Edward?"
"Yes Jacob." Edward pursed his lips trying his best not to smirk at the boy before him.
"Can I talk to you?"
Edward nodded at Jacob.
"Sure…"
"Over here?"
Jacob held his hand out gesturing to Edwards and they walked a few steps away from me.
Sam came over and stood in front of me, facing the boys, his stance almost protective.
"Have you asked Miss Bella to marry you?"
"No...not yet Jacob...why?"
"Just wondered... So she is still available?" The young boy stood attempting to eye ball Edward, I didn't believe it!
"No, I don't think she is Jacob." Edwards voice firm but still kind.
"But you don't know that for sure though."
"Actually Jacob, he does know for sure, I am Edward's girl." I spoke calmly, knowing it needed to be said out loud for more than Jacob's ears to hear.
I looked up at Edward and smiled.
Our eyes acknowledged my statement.
"Sure, sure." Jacob nodded but his eyes when they met mine were not convinced.
"Right, lets get this show on the road, parents will be here soon, time to go home everyone!" I called out to the kids all around us.
Jacob still hadn't moved. "You too young man, your dad will be here soon enough."
I walked away from him and handed out more items that were in danger of being left behind, not looking back at him.
Edward watched as I walked towards him smiling.
"See, you are such a heart breaker and you don't even know it!"
"He is just a young boy." I answered.
"He is older than I was when I noticed how beautiful you were Miss Bella!" The love in his voice was now so obvious to me.
"I have loved you more years than he has been alive." I replied, kissing his cheek, unable to offer him more in front of the kids.
I heard something crash behind us; Jacob was standing beside a pile of boxes that he had obviously pushed over.
"Jacob what happened?"
"Nothing." He muttered.
"Are you all ready to go now? I think I heard your Dad's truck pulling up now."
Billy came into the dorm room and took in the sight of Jacob standing with the boxes all around his feet.
"Jacob?"
"Yes Dad?"
"Do you need to pick these boxes up now?"
"Sure, sure." He started sorting the boxes but didn't look at any of us.
"What's going on with him?" Billy asked as he leaned over to kiss my cheek and nodded at Edward.
Charlie and Billy had known each other for years, Billy's daughter Rebecca was the same age as Edward and my self.
"It seems that Jacob is a little upset that Bella here is my girl." Edward explained.
"I was under the impression that Bella was always your girl Edward…"
"She always has been Billy, we just didn't know it."
"Everyone else did Edward!" Billy laughed out loud.
"Well I wish you had told me about it Billy Man!"
The kids had all gone, tears and smiles all mixed in together, promises made to stay in touch with new friends made at camp, and the only people left were our little group. Emmett looked at Edward and me.
"Are you coming over tonight to join us for our Curry night?"
"Not tonight Emmett, I am taking this young girl out on our second date."
"Second date...when did your first date happen?"
We just looked at each other, Edward lifted me up into his arms and I giggled out loud as he shouted to the rest and headed off towards his car.
"Later people, we have got some dating to do!"
"What about my bags?" I chuckled.
"Got them, I put them in my car earlier. I didn't want to waste any more time without you."
I started kissing him once we reached the car. "I have wanted to do that all day!"
I gasped as he swung me round so my legs were now round his waist and I held on tight to him.
"Oh I have too pretty girl." He replied, before peppering kissed down my neck.
"So… where are we going for our date Edward?" trying to keep my mind on focus as he dazzled me.
"OK, it's been short notice, but I was thinking, we could go to the movies, or out for a meal? Or…"
Unable to resist any longer I moved my mouth to his. He took my lower lip in his mouth and sucked on it gently, my lips parted as he slipped his tongue into my mouth. His kisses were more than I hade ever imagined they would be.
We came up for air and I looked at him.
"I don't know what kept me away from you for so long." He whispered.
"I don't know how I stayed away from you." I replied honestly.
He sat me into the car; I shivered with the evening air coming down, Edward ran round and got into the drivers seat.
"So where do you fancy going? I will plan the next date better Baby."
"You know what I want?"
"Anything, you can have what ever you want. I promise I will try to give you everything you ever wanted!"
"I want to go home with you, get take away and eat it in my bed while we watch a DVD together."
"Just like we usually do Baby?" he smiled as he spoke to me.
"No…not like me usually do…I plan for us to be naked and kissing."
He didn't speak; in fact he didn't say one word.
His finger's gripped tight on the steering wheel, had I said too much? Had I really messed this up so soon?
I held my breath, tears forming in my eyes.
He pulled the car over, saying nothing for a few moments.
"Bella…baby…"
My head lowered down.
"I know we are almost there, but I need you to do the rest of the drive home." His voice was shaky and troubled.
"Oh?" I felt like the world was going to collapse around me.
"You don't know what you have done to me, do you?"
"No." I honestly didn't.
"You have given me the biggest hard on I have ever had in my whole life…. and Baby…you have given me a fair few in the last few years."
My eyes suddenly met his and I spluttered a laugh and cough at the same time.
"Well that's good to know my Love."
"What's wrong? Have I offended you Baby?" he looked mortified.
"No I thought I had done something wrong."
"What? How?" He looked really confused.
"I thought I said the wrong thing when I said about you and me in bed."
"No…" He laughed, "I was just a bit turned on when you said about us being naked! I didn't think I would be able to drive!"
I started laughing hard now too.
"I don't want this to be weird for us, I worried about saying anything to you, I didn't want to loose you as my best mate, I worried you wouldn't feel the same."
"Isabella. I love you, I have loved you forever. But now, I don't just want to cuddle up with you and watch Chick Flicks like we did before. I…want…us to…take all…our clothes off…and make love you like… I have dreamed of doing…for so long!"
"And you think I can drive now?"
We both laughed.
This is going to be ok.
