Chapter Five

Bella Swan. ;)

I twiddled with my thumbs as I waited with Edward in the airports arrivals lounge, where we managed to stay unnoticed. Though we were sitting in the corner keeping our heads down.

"What did your mum say to you when she found out?"

"That she hoped we didn't turn out to be like her and my dad."

"Other than that she was happy. I think." I turned to look at Edward. "What did your parents say?"

"They don't know, yet. Thank god." I leaned my head on his shoulder, and closed my eyes. "My mum did tell me off for leaving my dirty washing at home though."

I laughed against his shoulder. "I can't wait to meet her."

"Three days." He mumbled. "I hate planes."

"Aww, Edward Masen scared of a little plane ride?" I mocked. Edward and I's friendship was easy, which made the whole marriage accident a hell of a lot easier to deal with. And I could see him easily becoming one of my closest, if not my best friend.

"Bella." Edward stage whispered, "There's someone looking at us giving us funny looks."

I opened my eyes, "Mom!" I grinned as we both grabbed each other into a hug.

"Bella!" My mom grinned as she pulled away, holding me at arms length. "You don't know how much I've missed you." Renee kissed my cheek, and turned to Edward.

"Mom, this is Edward." I introduced.

"Mrs Dwyer." Edward held his hand out, a crooked smile on his face.

"It's Renee, Edward." She swatted his hand away and gave him a hug, Edward gave me a shocked expression over her shoulder, and I tried my best not to laugh.

"Mom, stop hogging Edward."

"Oh, you two look so good together." She gushed, pinching both our cheeks. "And what a handsome son in law I have." Edward picked up her bag off the floor and held it over his shoulder, and I smiled at him. "So sweet too!"

"Lets get going before you can embarrass me further." I groaned, linking arms with my mom as Edward walked on her other side, as her orders as she spoke animatedly to Edward.

I sighed as I sat in the back seat with my mom. Edward, of course was the perfect gentleman and opened both our doors for us. And I felt guilty he felt like he had to.

Edward drove us to his apartment, it was a proper bachelors pad. But I didn't mind in the slightest, I wasn't into formal and proper. And Edward didn't mind the slightest if I acted like a pig. Living with Edward was like living with my perfect flat mate, even though I'd only stayed here for two days.

"You know you don't have to keep opening doors for my mom and I." I brought up when we were just about to go to sleep.

Edward laughed. "Bella, I was brought up to respect women, not treat them like shit."

"Oh." I blushed, and Edward chuckled.

"Just because your married to me doesn't mean I own you and you will do what I want, Bella. That's wrong, no one should be treated like that. Ever."

I bit my lip as I looked at him, and I could feel tears well up in my eyes.

"Bella, what's wrong?" He frowned.

I shook my head as the tears left my eyes. Edward wiped them away with his thumbs and I smiled a little. "This is just a huge disaster." I whispered. "You just... you shouldn't be kept behind because of me. You could of still been single and finding the one you're meant to be with, to get married to and have her children."

"Bella, I could say the same for you." He whispered back, placing a hand on my cheek. "Truth is Bella, I think I like you more than is right and when we get that divorce next year, I'm going to be jealous of anyone who wins you over." I bit my bottom lip, and sat up a little. "Where are you going?"

"I'm going to kiss you. Edward." Edward smiled and sat up too, leaning over me, and pushed me down gently, bringing his hand to the back of my head as his lips lowered to mine, placing a chaste kiss against them, before bringing one of his hands to my face and brushing it through the hair that made it's way in front of my face.

He brought his lips back to mine in a deeper kiss, and as our lips brushed for the last time and he pulled away, he moved his mouth to hover above my ear. "Let's pretend we're not married. Let's just be two people who've just started going out."

I wrapped my arms around his neck, and nudged so he rolled over back onto his side of the bed as I hovered above him. I moved my legs to straddle him. Just as I was about to kiss him a knock came from the door.

"Yes" I snapped.

Edward chuckled, and I grabbed my pillow and hit him in the face with it. My mom opened the door and peaked her head in. "Bella, I'm so sorry... I didn't mean to interrupt anything."

"You weren't." I glared at the laughing Edward underneath me, realising this was an embarrassing position to be caught in.

Renee laughed. "Oh look at me, your silly cock blocking mom."

I groaned, and Edward laughed again.

"I'm going to kill you Edward Masen." I hit him in the face with the pillow again and I heard Renee laugh, I turned to glare at her.

"I just wanted to know where the glasses are kept."

"The cupboard by the fridge." Edward answered, laughing.

Renee smiled at Edward appreciatively. "Thanks, night you two."

I rolled off Edward and glared at him before turning away from him. "You asshole."

Edward sighed and made pathetic whining noises. "I'm sorry." He huffed, moving closer to me and wrapping his arms around my waist. I leaned back into his embrace. "So, you'll be my girlfriend?" Edward whispered in my ear.

I turned around and wrapped my arms around his neck. "Do I really need to answer that?"

I could see him grin a little. He gave me a chaste kiss on the lips, then grinned. "Thank you."

I snuggled closer to him. "Anyway, I never pictured you being scared of planes."

"I'm not." He grumbled. "I just feel like crap on them. Bad headaches, migraines, nausea."

"If you say so." I mocked, grinning and burring my face in his chest.
