Call my bluff say what you want,
I'm looking down at you from the top,
I beg for attention in small doses,
Leave the scene smelling of dead roses

Lover Boy – You Me At Six

Chapter 3 – Leave the scene smelling of dead roses.

I was in sensory overload. All I smelled was him, all I felt was him, all I heard was him. I would've seen him too, if my eyes weren't screwed shut. His hands played expertly with my nipples as my back arched off of the bed. His stubble scraped along the inside of my thigh as he kissed his way toThe Promised Land. I squirmed under him as he finally reached where I needed him the most.

"Edward!" I screamed.

"Bella," he moaned. "Wake up."

"Bella boo, wakey wakeyyyyyyy!"

The most ridiculous fake voice broke through my dream.

You have got to be kidding me!

I buried my head under my pillow and pulled the duvet so far up that my legs poked out from the bottom.

Sleep, come to me, my pretty!

Nails scraped against the bottom of my bare feet, in an attempt to tickle me.

"Will you just fuck off?" I shouted from my hidey-hole.

"Oh, but, Bella, it's 8am and Sunday, which means it's MY day with you. So get out of your pit, and get some coffee in ya!"

"Why are you such an ass, Edward?"

"Because I'm just that awesome."

I didn't have to see him to know that he had the usual arrogant, cocky smirk slapped on his face. And what a smirk it was. It did terrible things to my girly parts.

Terrible. Wonderful. Same difference.

"Whatever."

I felt the mattress dip on both sides of me as I ripped away the covers and pillow to see him literally standing above me.

Well, hello there.

I winked playfully before I hit the back of his knees so he'd fall. I laughed as he landed on me, straddling me, and laughed even harder at the look of pure shock on his face.

My laughter was abruptly cut off when I saw the determined look on his face, mixed with a hint of lust.

He slowly leaned down towards me as my heart raced and my breathing turned shallow.

"What is it about you," he whispered, "that makes me want to do this?"

He lunged towards me, fingers clawing against my sides.

I thrashed wildly underneath him as he tickled me.

Asshole!

"Edward, stop!" I screamed breathlessly.

I was like a mechanical bull as I tried to get him to stop. I finally succeed as he flew off of my bed and landed on his ass. His face was a mixture of shock, horror, and amusement. I laughed even harder than before, tears forming in my eyes.

"Yeah, yeah, real funny, now get up," he said as he chuckled with me.

"You know, I have never met a girl like you."

"What do you mean?"

"Well, you currently have a mouthful of taco, and yet you still answered m-" I interrupted him with the biggest belch I had ever done.

"Oops." All the blood in my body rushed to my cheeks as he laughed.

"What I was saying, before you interrupted, was that you talk in your sleep and have very... ahem, interesting dreams."

I stopped breathing. I dreamt about him last night.

This cannot be happening! Please say my dream was reality and this is a dream!

"I'm quite flattered that you were dreaming about me," he continued, "but I'm also quite curious as to what your dream was about."

Hey, ground, time to swallow me!

"Uh, I, uh, can't remember." Yeah, that'll work!

"Liar. Spill, Swan!"

"I honestly can't remember. Can we change the topic now?"

"Fine," he said sulkily. "Tanya's on my case again, by the way."

Tanya had gotten worse this past year. She tried to ruin mine and Edward's friendship on more than one occasion. She once accused him of cheating. Hypocrite! Edward had taken it gracefully, saying that I was just his friend, and that she was his one true love.

I, on the other hand, wanted to rip her blonde hair from her oversized head, one strand at a time, while gouging her eyes out with her 6 inch stilettos.

Not that I hated her or anything.

Ah, who am I kidding? I loathed her.

Edward knew of my distaste for her and he didn't approve, but he knew dissuading me wouldn't work so he kept his mouth shut.

"Oh, really?" I tried to sound nonchalant while picturing running her over in my truck, over and over again, but I think I failed. "What excuse did she use this time?"

For the first time that day, I truly looked at him. He looked like Edward, normal Edward, happy Edward. But his eyes, his gorgeous emerald eyes, looked tired and stressed.

"Bella, she said she was..." he paused. After swallowing heavily and taking a deep breath, he continued. "Pregnant."

Edward POV

"Edward, we need to talk."

Oh, fuck. That is never good.

Tanya was lying with her head on my chest, my hand lightly brushing along her spine. My hand froze as soon as she uttered those words.

"What about? You don't usually talk after sex." My tone was a little curt, but she didn't notice.

"You need to stop being friends with that Swan girl."

"You mean Bella? Why should I? Is it a new excuse, or are you still just jealous?"

I was being a dick, I know, but this wasn't the first time she tried to tear Bella and I apart. It was always silly excuses; she felt like I was slipping away, she heard Bella bitching about me, I was sleeping with Bella, I didn't love her anymore, yadda yadda yadda.

It was getting more than infuriating now.

Bella was the best friend I'd ever had. She understood me better than Tanya, she made me laugh more than Emmett, and she comforted me more than my mom. She was perfect.

I was myself around her. Tanya was always trying to change me. She wanted me to be a jock.

I enjoyed sports just as much as any other guy, but I wasn't a fan of competition. She just wanted the popularity.

She was popular enough, though. She didn't need me to be star quarterback. She was a gold digger. I knew that. But when you're in love, you do silly things.

"Seriously, Tanya, what stupid, pathetic excuse do you have now?" I snapped.

"It's not an excuse! Right now, you need to focus on your education. You're going to be a brilliant doctor."

"Wait. Doctor?"

What. The. Hell?

"Yes, Edward, doctor. You'll be great, and then we can have a perfect future. A cute little house with the white picket fence, a bunch of little Cullens running around... It'll be everything we've ever dreamed of. Can't you see it, Edward?" She was panting, cheeks flushed with color, truly believing in the words she was saying.

"No, I can't, Tanya. Anyway, what does this have to do with Bella?"

"The Swan girl will ruin everything! You cannot be distracted at a time like this, Edward. How many times do I need to repeat that?"

"Why now? I have plenty of time before graduation!"

By now we had both gotten out of bed. I was pulling on my boxers, and she was already fully dressed. She was stuffing things into her bag, while I stood there, waiting for her to tell me what was going on.

She through her bag over her shoulder and headed to the door.

"I'm pregnant, Edward."

She was out of the door before I could respond.

Oh, fuck.

Dun dun duuuuuuuun.

I uploaded this now because college is kicking my behind, and I'll probably pass out as soon as I get home tomorrow.
