Flashback – Summer2005 - First Sight
The first time I saw you
Oh you looked so fine
I had a feeling
One day you'd be mine
"What the fuck?" I said out loud as I groaned and lifted my head from being buried deep in my pillow. The noise coming from downstairs had wakened me from my hangover bliss.
Laughing.
Lots of laughing
Loud
Loud laughing
Teenage girls laughing.
Fuck.
I almost forget where I was. I hadn't been home much in the past four years since I was off at college four hours away in Seattle. I was used to having my own quiet apartment that I shared with one other guy who was usually hung over the same time I was.
But now I was back home.
I graduated a week ago and had moved back home until I was able to find a place of my own once I started working.
I grumbled as I pulled myself out of my bed and into my bathroom to take a piss. I could still hear the shrieking coming from downstairs, which was crazy since my room was on the third floor. It could only been one thing, my little sister and her friends were down there talking about god knows what.
Loudly.
My head was killing me. I was out late last night at a bar with my high school buddy Seth and by the time I rolled in the house, I was drunk off my ass.
I looked at the clock on my way out of my bathroom it was almost noon. I felt like shit and I was in need of some water. Since I only had on my boxer briefs, I put on a pair of green pajama bottoms and a white t-shirt. I stumbled out of the bedroom and down the flight of stairs to the kitchen. As I got closer, the laughing got louder and louder.
Jesus, do they not hear how loud they are?
I rounded the corner to the kitchen and as I suspected, my little sister and her friend Angela were sitting at the kitchen table looking through their yearbooks laughing hysterically.
"Damn Ali, can you two shut the fuck up?" I asked as I walked in the kitchen.
"Oh well look who finally woke up." Alice said. "Late night Edward?"
"Shut up!" I spat. "I have a headache." I looked over to the two girls who were still giggling, but now it was at me. "Where are Mom and Dad?"
"Out for the day," she said as she walked over to the fridge where I was standing. "Ew, Edward, you stink like beer."
"How perceptive you are." Alice was only sixteen and most days, I loved my little sister, but right now she was on my fucking nerves. "Can't you and Angela go out or something?"
"We just got back from breakfast, so no we can't," she said. "But we will go to my room because your stench is killing me."
"Thank fuck for that." I said as I took a bottle of water over to the tables and sat down. I guzzled it down and then put my head face down on my folded arms.
Finally quiet.
After a few minutes, I then heard footsteps coming in from the wreck room. I groaned as I thought my quiet time was over.
"Fuck Ali, I thought you were going upstairs?" I said still with my head down.
"Oh um… I'm sorry…. I didn't mean."
That was not Alice's voice. In fact, I didn't know whose voice that was. I picked my head up and rubbed my eyes as she came into focus. As soon as I saw her, my mouth ran completely dry.
I don't think I had ever seen anything so beautiful in my life. She was petite, maybe 5"4, with long brown hair and chocolate brown eyes. Her skin was creamy white and her body… holy fuck her body was hot. She was wearing a short denim skirt that showed off her endless legs and a blue tank top that showed off other things.
Holy shit. Holy fuck. Holy everything.
Who was this girl standing in front of me looking like a deer caught in headlights?
"I'm sorry, " I said. "I thought you were my sister coming back down here to bug me."
"Oh," she said with a smile. Her smile... wow. "Do you know where Alice and Angela went?"
"Uh… I believe they went upstairs to Alice's room." I replied as I stood to my feet. Damn she was tiny; I was almost a foot taller than her. "Are you a friend of Alice's, I don't think we've met. I'm her older brother, Edward."
"I'm Bella and yeah I'm friends with her." She said. "Oh you're Edward, yeah she's talked about you, and you've been away at school right?"
"Yeah," I said. "I…."
"Bella!" Alice shouted as she came down the stairs cutting off my words. "There you are."
"Sorry, my Mom needed to tell me something so my phone call was longer then I thought it would be."
"No problem, we're in my room," she said and then Alice looked over at me as I leaned against the island in the kitchen with my arms folded. "Oh I see you've met my brother? He's a little moody today since he's hung over so don't mind him."
"He was actually nice," Bella said to Alice not taking her eyes off of me.
"See Alice, I'm nice," I said with a laugh.
"Whatever! Well anyway, come on," Alice said as she grabbed Bella's hand and led her up the stairs to her bedroom.
I watched as they walked away and smiled when I saw Bella look over her shoulder at me and smile before she went up the stairs.
I had to sit down.
I felt even drunker than I was last night.
If my sister was sixteen, there was a good chance so was Bella. I was twenty-two years old and I had no business looking at her the way I just did, but god forgive me, she was beautiful and I was in big fat trouble.
As the days passed, I found myself staying home secretly hoping Alice would have her friends over. Okay that's a lie; I was secretly hoping Bella would come over again. It's been three days since I first saw her standing in our kitchen and I found myself wanting to see her again.
There was no harm in looking at her right?
Cause fuck, she was something to look at.
Only looking, no touching.
I wanted to touch her. Fuck I really did. But it was so wrong on so many levels not to mention it was against the law. Two nights ago I had over heard Alice talking to my Mom about Bella and when she mentioned her last name my heart sank. She was the police chief's daughter, definitely not good.
Definitely only looking.
Later that night Alice decided to she wanted to have a sleepover. Our parents decided to go to a bed and breakfast up in Portland for the night so Alice thought it would be the perfect night. My parents told her it was okay but only if I agreed to stay home so when Alice asked me, I was a little to eager to agree.
Seriously? I am excited to stay home with my little sister and her friends on a Saturday night?
I should have been out with Seth, but instead I was home hoping to get a glimpse of my sister's friend.
What the fuck was wrong with me?
I was in the wreck room playing video games when I heard the doorbell ring. The next thing I heard was Alice barreling down the stairs to answer the door. And then I heard voices. I continued to play my game trying to distract myself, but that ended when all three girls came into the wreck room. I looked at them as they came in, but then my eyes went to Bella as she plopped down on the couch across the room from me. She was wearing really tight jeans and a pink v-neck t-shirt. I noticed her smile at me and I tore my eyes away from her and back to my game.
Fuck she was pretty.
"Edward, where did dad leave the money for pizza?" Alice asked.
"On the counter by the fridge, " I answered while not looking up from my game.
So not looking at her.
"Okay we'll we're gonna order, do you want me to let you know the pizza gets here?" She asked me.
"Yeah that's fine." I said waving her off.
Once the pizza arrived, I grabbed two slices and headed back in the wreck room as the girls ate in the kitchen. I was really trying hard not to look at Bella. My dick could not handle it.
The night I met Bella I found myself in my room with my dick in my hand jerking off to the vision of her.
I was fucked.
After time passed and the girls were upstairs for what seemed like the night, I decided to go for a swim. I changed into my red swim trunks and headed down to the backyard. Our pool was heated so I decided to jump right in. I needed to work off some frustration. I was swimming laps back and forth faster and faster trying to rid myself of the thoughts I was having of Bella.
So fucked.
She was only sixteen and my sister's best friend, I should not be thinking of her the way I have been. I should not be thinking of touching her the way I have been. I should not be thinking about what it would be like to kiss her lips the way I have been. I should not be thinking about her at all.
Fucking fucked.
I continued swimming, but when I reached the one end of the pool, I stopped when I saw someone sitting on the edge of the pool. I lifted my head out of the when I got to the edge and was startled when I saw Bella sitting there.
"Jesus Christ, you scared the shit of me," I said as I wiped my eyes. She was sitting on the edge of the pool in very short shorts and a tank top. Her legs were dangling in the water and my heart was pounding in my chest.
"I'm sorry," she said.
"Are you okay?" I asked her standing across from her. Her knees only inches from my stomach.
"Yeah, I just couldn't sleep." She said. "Alice and Angela are asleep and I heard some splashing."
"Yeah sorry, I sometimes swim at night, it's relaxing." I said. "So why can't you sleep?" I asked her as I swallowed hard.
Twitch
"I don't know," she said. "I guess I'm just….frustrated."
"Yeah, I know the feeling." I said.
Twitch
"Um Edward?" she asked.
"Yeah?"
"Can I… I mean would you mind if… can I join you?"
I swallowed hard again. She wanted to swim with me. Is that Wong?
Fuck it.
"Uh… sure, yeah… if you want to."
She smiled at me and then swung her legs out of the water. I thought she was going to jump in, but I was wrong. The next thing I knew she was lowering down her shorts and lifting up her tank top to reveal the sexiest white bikini I have ever seen.
"Holy shit," I whispered under my breath.
Oh this was not good.
The bikini top she wore made her cleavage peak out and the bottoms hugged her hips perfectly. And her legs, damn her legs were long. I watched her as she walked down the stairs and into the warm water.
She started to swim closer to me and the next thing I knew, she splashed me.
"Oh you'll pay for that," I said as I splashed her back.
She screeched as the water hit her and after splashing each other we were silent as we tread water.
"So how come I haven't seen you around here before the other day?" I asked praying to distract my hard-on.
"We just moved here two years ago from Jacksonville," she said. "You were away at school so I guess we never crossed paths."
"Makes sense I guess," I said. "So Bella, do you have a boyfriend?"
Did I just ask her that?
Shit.
"Uh, no I don't" she said.
"I'm surprised."
"Why?"
"Because," I said as I moved closer to her in the water. "You're beautiful."
"No I'm not," she said as she blushed. Even in the moonlight, I could see her blush.
"Yes," I said as I moved closer and reached to move a piece of her wet hair away from her face. "You are."
"Edward," she said causing me to step back.
"I'm sorry," I said. "That was inappropriate of me."
"No, it's fine," she said as she took a step closer to me. "It's just… no one has ever told me that before and you're really… I'm… I mean…"
"What Bella?" I asked. "Tell me."
"You make me feel things Edward," she admitted. 'Things I have never felt before."
Holy fuck.
I moved even closer to her causing her to back up. When she reached the pool wall, I extended my arms to the side of the pool effectively closing her in.
"Bella," I whispered heavily. "This is wrong, I shouldn't be feeling these things for you. You're only sixteen, I shouldn't…. oh fuck."
With that she reached up and placed her cool hands on my shoulders. My breath hitched in my throat as her hands roamed over my bare chest.
"Edward, please," she begged.
I wrapped my arms around her waist and pulled her body flush against mine.
"Please Bella, tell me to stop."
"I don't want you to stop," she said.
"We can't stop." I said.
And with that I crashed my lips to hers. We both moaned as our lips touched for the first time. Her grip on my shoulders tightened as I held her closer to me. She opened her mouth to me and my tongue slipped inside her lips. I sighed deeply when I felt her tongue swirl with my own. I gripped her hips and pushed her back up against the wall. Her legs wrapped around my waist and we both groaned loudly in each other's mouths as I pressed my erection into her center.
"Edward," she gasped. "I have wanted you to kiss me since the moment I saw you."
"I wanted it too," I said. I leaned in to kiss her again and pushed myself tighter against her center. But then my wits came about me and I pulled back. "Bella, we can't do this." I let her go and stepped away running my fingers through my wet hair.
"Why not?" She asked.
"Because I'm twenty-two years old, you're only sixteen, its not right." I pleaded.
"Edward, I wanted you to kiss me. I want you to kiss me again. No one has to know. We don't have to tell anyone, but I don't want to not be able to kiss you again."
I moved closer to her and kissed her again completely surrendering to something I had no business doing, but I couldn't help myself. This girl had come into my life like a fucking tidal wave and I was all out of life preservers.
A/N: uh oh Eddie, what have you gotten yourself into?
Ok so remember next update won't be until the weekend sometime.
You've been spoiled the past two days.
Next chapter is a regular chapter, but we'll revisit 2005 again after that.
There's more good stuff to come.
