Chapter 4
"Haha Hi Mom. I hardly neglect you, we spoke a few days ago" he says winking at me.
"You know I worry about you Edward.. Now are you going to come to dinner tomorrow night?" She asks. I feel like I'm intruding on such a personal moment, I hold my giggles in with my hands. Edward watches me and smiles.
"Edward? Are you there?" She asks again
"Yeah sorry Mom I got a distracted what did you say?" He says smiling and looking at his cell.
"I said, are you coming to dinner tomorrow?" She finishes.
"I uh might not be able to make tomorrow's dinner" he says with knowing eyes at me. I quickly start waving at him through the screen mouthing 'don't cancel it because of me'. He just smiles wider.
"But I was hoping to introduce you to Jane, Maria's daughter, you know the Hairdresser" she gushes.
"I already told you that I'm not letting you set me up with anymore of your friends daughters Mom" he says winking at me before he smirks and continues "Besides I can't come tomorrow because I happen to have plans with a beautiful woman" he grins at my shocked face.
"What?! Who is it? Do I know her? What does she do? When can I meet her?!" His Mom rushes out. My blush heats my cheeks as I watched Edwards mischievous face.
"Mom settle down, I'm not going to feed you any information sticky beak, and don't even think of trying to come over to hound me" he jokes watching my shocked face. He just told his Mom about me. He must really like me, I feel like a giddy school girl getting asked to prom by her crush! I let out a giggle at their banter with one another.
"What was that? Is she with you now! Oh my God Edward ask her to come to dinner!" She says excitedly.
"I want her to myself first, but I'll let her know you said hi" he says laughing.
"Did your brother know about this! I swear I'll smack him six ways from Sunday if he knew and didn't tell me!" She says
"Relax Mom no-one knew and we only just met" he laughs "I'm going to hang up now, I'll call you soon" he says
"No wait! Tell me about her! Edward! Don't hang up !" She yells
"I love you Mom" he says
"Don't you dare Edward Anthony Cu..." He hangs up before she can finish her threat.
"So that was my mother" he laughs "She means well, but you can see why I can't stand her meddling with my love life" he grimaces.
"Wow, I don't know what to say" I laugh
"Sorry if I went too far, I just thought it would be funny to tease her about something she didn't know for once" he grins.
"You certainly succeeded, she sounds lovely" I say watching him lift his brow "I mean maybe when she's not trying to set you up with Jane" I finish laughing.
"Yeah she can be a bit over the top but I love her, she's always been there for my brother and I" he says.
"So.. You won't be able to make dinner huh?" I say watching him
"Yeah I mean, not that I expect you to, you know hang out that long but I just wanted to keep my day open I don't know" he says scratching his head.
"It's fine, I'm pretty excited about tomorrow I kinda want it to hurry up already and we've only been talking for.." I pause to look at the clock "wow is it 3pm already!?"
"Yeah I guess it is, can't believe we've talked for around 4 hours already" he laughs. Just then I hear my stomach growl.
"Guess I'm hungry" I say laughing patting my tummy.
"Me too, hang on just a sec" he says typing away on his laptop.
"Ok.." I say waiting, well I should say staring. He is one handsome man, I can see a five o'clock shadow peeking out and his hair is wild from combing his hand through it. You can tell he is older but he doesn't look 36, I would have guessed maybe 30 max.
"Ok.. Done" he says clicking a few times and smiling to himself. "Lunch has been ordered" he says looking into the camera and smiling.
"Huh?" Was my intelligent reply.
"I uh, took the liberty of ordering us pizza" he says pausing for my reaction.
"What? Edward, you didn't have to do that!" I say pleading through the laptop.
"It's actually for a more selfish reason.." He says "I didn't want to have to say goodbye yet"
"Same here, although I really should change out of my pjs" I say glancing at myself.
"Yeah I actually was thinking if you don't mind, do you want to take a quick 10 minute break for any bathroom and drink needs and meet back in time for pizza?" He asks shyly.
"That sounds perfect I could use a quick shower so by all means, and uh thank you, for the pizza" I say.
"Oh believe me the pleasure is all mine. Alright I'm going to try to rush this, ready?" He says looking at his watch.
"I'm ready.." I reply feeling the adrenaline rush through me readying me for a mad dash into the bathroom.
"Ok.. 3...2...1...WAIT!" He yells. I quickly halt and perch myself half on my bed so my head is in view.
"This isn't goodbye.." Edward says grinning watching me try to hold still.
"Haha ok promise, I'll even leave our session running" I say winking.
"Great.. Alright..3..2..1 BREAK!" He says rushing off leaving his dogs in a state of confusion as to what the rush was.
I start stripping before I even make it to my bathroom and I rush through my shower quickly washing my hair and washing my face. I quickly brush my teeth and I instantly feel human again. I nearly trip trying to put on my underwear and I can't stop myself from trying to impress Edward, what should I wear? I look through my wardrobe completely appalled by my selection. I don't want it to seem like I'm trying to hard but I don't want to put on my tracky dacks either. Ok, what about my jean shorts and a 3/4 sleeve light gray top.. I rush to put them on and quickly look at the time, I have 3 minutes left.. I quickly blow dry my hair, I haven't stopped smiling since I last spoke to him. Wow I can already feel how attached to him I've become in the space of a few short hours. My cheeks are flushed and I quickly swipe on a bit of mascara and some lip balm. I adjust my hair slightly and I hear a knock on my door. My stomach grumbles at the thought of food "Just a sec!" I yell and I run to the door I swing the door open and my jaw nearly hits the floor. Standing before me in the flesh is none other than Edward, with a shy smile and his hand in his hair.
"I uh, I..." He stammers out, watching my reaction. I'm stunned I can't even form words.. He is here and he looks even more incredible in person, and the smell, I just want to smother myself in him.
"I'm sorry" he says "I don't know what came over me, I really never do anything like this I just... Well talking to you and getting to know you just made me want to see you even earlier. God, I'm an idiot, I should go.." He says taking a step back. I don't even think I just jump into his arms and kiss him with everything I have. One hand holding his shoulder while the other reaches into the hair on the nape of his neck. I'm just about to stop when he grips the back of my thigh and cradles me to his chest with his other hand on my back intensifying the kiss. I moan and he uses the opportunity to peak his tongue into my mouth. Our mouths dance in a delicious tango, not wanting to break apart. He lets out a panty dropping moan and I thank god he is already holding me because it would have made my knees buckle. He pushes me into the wall just inside my doorway and I feel just how excited he is, he lets out another deep moan as I grind against him putting everything I have into the kiss. Finally he breaks the kiss taking deep breaths and leaning into the side of my neck near my shoulder.
"Bella.." His breath tickles my skin and he's still holding me steady against the wall. I'm drunk on our kisses to the point that I start to giggle. I try to hold it in but he's already felt my body convulsing. He lifts his head in confusion and I quickly clap a hand over my mouth, it does nothing and eventually I give up all together and hug him trying muffle my laugh on his shoulder.
"I hope you don't think my kisses are laughable" he laughs into my hair.
"No not at all, you're an incredible kisser, it's just.. I can't believe I just jumped you.. I'm so sorry I don't know what came over me" I laugh whole-heartedly and finally lean back enough to look at his face. He's smiling looking into my eyes.
"Your even more beautiful in person" he murmurs studying me. A cough breaks our moment when the pizza man smiles awkwardly at us.
"Someone order pizza?" The guy asks, his cheeks bloom full red just like I'm sure mine are. Edward slowly lowers me.
"Ah yeah, that's us.." He says running his hand through his hair again.
"I have 1 large Pepperoni 1 large Hawaiian, 1 large Meatlover, and a garlic bread" he says looking for Edwards approval that the order is correct.
"Yep, thank you " he replies taking hold of the pizza and balancing the garlic bread on top. He slips the man a tip before turning to me.
"Ready for lunch?" he asks with a laugh.
"Uh yeah, just let me clear the table" I say rushing over to my small dining table and moving my sketch pad and pencils. "Just pop it on here, would you like a plate?" I ask gesturing to my kitchen behind me.
"No I'm fine, it's just us" he smiles
"Ok, well would you like a drink?"
"Uh yeah actually I kind of broke the speed limit on my way over and I'm not quite as fit as I used to be, running up those stairs really got to me" he says as I make my way into the kitchen.
"How did you get in to building without having to get me to buzz you in?" I ask curiously.
"Well there was a guy smoking just outside the door & I guess he saw how much of a rush I was in so he opened the door for me" he says sounding unsure.
"Oh that's Jarrod, he lives a few doors up" I reply opening the fridge.
"I've got water, beer, wine or juice, what would you like?"
"Just a water thanks" he tells me as I hear him pull out a chair. I quickly pour two glasses of water and take them to the table. It's so surreal to see him sitting at my table.
"I can't believe your here.. and in 10 minutes at that!" I say taking my seat across from him.
"Yeah well I hoped that traffic was going to be on my side. I won't be surprised if I get a speeding ticket" he shrugs.
"Oh my god, well I'm glad you got here in one piece." I smile.
"I uh, didn't know what pizza you liked so I got 3 different ones" he says opening the boxes and offering me to pick a slice. I smirk and pick up a piece of pepperoni that's in front of Edward.
"I'm a sucker for pepperoni but I'm not fussy I'll eat any sort of pizza" I say taking a small bite of the slice and stretching the cheese. I start to laugh again my cheeks flush as I try to keep some dignity without looking like a complete pig.
"It's my favorite too" Edward says grabbing a slice for himself and taming the cheese easily. We keep taking bites while silently watching each other with small smiles. I can't believe I launched myself at him. I've never done anything like that. Well this whole day has been full of firsts. Am I crazy to feel so much for someone I only just met? He looks rather happy so I guess at least it hasn't bothered him. Hell I already know what his mother sounds like. He finishes his second slice and gulps down the water. Far out everything he does is so enticing. I watch a small droplet of water in the corner of his mouth and to avoid a repeat of before I try to distract myself with drinking my water. After finishing my glass I look back at Edward to see his eyes are darker and intense as they look at my eyes before darting to my mouth. He feels it too. I bite my lip unsure of what to do or say next and he lets out a deep guttural groan.
"What have you done to me?" Edwards whispers with a smile.
"What do you mean?" I ask confused.
"I just can't believe the reactions your already bringing out of me, not that it's bad but I can't even think straight. I'm making spontaneous decisions and laughing and smiling more today then I have in years. Your constantly surprising me with your actions and what you say, your like no other person I have ever met." He finishes smiling at me.
"If it's any consolation you're not the only one. I'm shocked at how quickly I have let my walls down. It usually takes a long time for someone to get to know me. But I find myself wanting you to know everything.." I respond shocked.
"Trust me when I say I want to know everything about you.." He says watching my blush.
"What?" He asks
"Could you be any more of a perfect male specimen? I mean what can't you do well?" I ask with a laugh
"You think I'm perfect?" He says disbelieving
"Yes. I have no idea how some lucky woman hasn't snatched you up" I reply.
"I guess that none of them caught my interest" he shrugs before muttering "until now..". Woah! Did I hear him correctly. My eyes can't help but stare into his emerald orbs. I bite my lip as the sexual tension radiates between us.
"Oh screw it!" He exclaims pushing out of his chair causing me to stand up in alarm. He side-steps the table and cradles my face as he captures me in another kiss, this time it's tender and warm as he caresses my lips with his own. I'm dizzy on his kiss and I finally gain use of my hands as they fist into his shirt using it as leverage to push myself higher into his embrace.
He breaks the kiss leaving our noses lightly brushing together as he blinks and finally speaks.
"I've been thinking about doing that since we were so rudely interrupted before.." He grins, his eyes crinkling at his temples and the glimmer in his eyes only portraying a small amount of mischief that lies beneath. I don't reply I simply kiss him again. I don't care about whether this is moving too fast, it feels so right to be in his arms, I feel like I'm finally home.
"Me too" he whispers kissing my lips with small chaste kisses. Shit! Did I say that out loud?! But he said he did too!
