Part Seven
Billy slammed the phone down in irritation. What the hell was Jacob doing? Charlie stood behind him waiting for Billy to say something.
"Well? Why isn't your son answering? Are you sure they would have gone back to your place?" Charlie enquired.
Billy nodded. "Yes. It's the only place they would be safe."
Charlie raised his eyebrows. "Safe? Why wouldn't they feel safe?" He asked in alarm.
Billy mentally kicked himself. His verbal diarrhoea had been getting worse lately. It was not the first time he had slipped up in front of his old friend. Keeping such epic secrets like this was trying at the best of times.
"I just meant that they would want to go somewhere where young Edward over there would not venture to. If they went back to your place he might consider going after them."
Both men turned and saw Edward Cullen in a heated exchange with his father, Carlisle. They could not make out his words but by the way he was flinging his arms about and the fact the Carlisle was trying to keep him in one place suggested that he was beyond furious.
Charlie gulped and exchanged glances with Billy. All the gathered guests had been asked to leave. It had taken quite a while as most of them had not had such fun in ages. They had grumbled and complained that they had not even received a cut of the cake but had eventually been ejected. Carlisle's guests who had travelled quite a way to attend stood off to one side, whispering amongst themselves. Rosalie was next to them but she was taking no part in the conversation, she kept gazing across at her brother and giving him smug smiles.
Shrugging his shoulders, Charlie leant down and whispered to Billy that maybe they should leave. "There's not much we can do here now. I tried to apologise and that nice wife of Carlisle's said not to worry. Now she is a lady."
Billy smirked at his best friends words. If only he knew that she had been dead for nigh on a hundred years. He did a fake cough to hide his laughter. "I think you're right old man. I will call Sam to bring his truck over. He can take us back to my place."
"Ah Billy this has to be the best day of my life, after Bella being born of course. Your son is amazing. You wait till I see him, I want to shake his hand. Where do you think he has been hiding all these weeks?"
"I don't know. But once I find him I am going to tear a strip off of him for making me worry." Billy muttered.
Alice Cullen skipped her way gracefully over to Charlie and Billy. She had changed out of her bridesmaid dress into a stunningly low cut red dress. It left little to the imagination and both men had to take their eyes away in embarrassment.
"Charlie, any luck in contacting Bella?" Alice twittered, fluttering her hands.
"Fraid not Alice. I am on my way home now to see if she has gone there." Charlie informed her, still looking at the floor.
Alice turned her golden eyes onto Billy. He glanced up briefly and the look of anger that she threw his way was quickly replaced with a hurt look as Charlie turned his eyes on them.
"Oh Bella must be so distraught to be away from Edward. We must get her back." Alice said mournfully. "Would you like me to accompany you Charlie? Bella is my best friend. I know that wedding nerves get the best of all of us. I just want to reassure her that we understand and still love her."
Billy finally spoke and his voice was deadly serious. "I think the fact that she hopped on the back of my son's bike shows clearly that she never wanted to get married. The last person she would wish to see is you or your brother. So in this instance I think it would be best to give the poor girl some room to breathe, don't you think?"
Charlie tried to hush Billy but he waved his hand away. His eyes locked with Alice's and they glared at each other for a moment.
"Okay."She conceded. Turning to Charlie she gave him a bright smile. "Please tell Bella I am thinking of her and when she is ready to talk, my brother is more than willing to meet her at any time or place. I know that she must be worried about him. "
"Of course Alice and thank your parents for me for being so understanding." Charlie replied.
Alice touched his hand briefly and he shivered slightly under her cold touch. "Of course. Goodbye for now."
Both of them watched as she danced her way over to her brother and father who were still arguing fiercely.
Without another word Charlie waited while Billy contacted Sam to give them both a lift to La Push.
In the Black's house Jacob and Bella were enjoying themselves immensely. After completely ignoring the ringing phone they had continued to engage in their energetic lovemaking session. Bella was in seventh heaven as Jacob continued to thrust up into her hitting the exact spot that sent tremors of pleasure through her body. He had a tight hold on her hips to keep her steady and was enjoying seeing her small breasts bounce up and down with their frenzied movements.
"Oh Bells you are so hot..."
"Not as hot as you baby..." Bella murmured as she raked her nails down his chest, making him moan.
Suddenly they heard a loud crack and Jake's bed collapsed under them. They both tumbled to the floor with Jake managing to encase Bella in his arms so that he took all the pounding. They rolled to a stop and just stared at each other, breathing heavily.
"What the hell Jake? How old is that bed?" Bella asked, trying not to grin.
Jacob's body shook with laughter. Even after the fall he was still joined with Bella and it caused all kinds of pleasant sensations to run through her.
"Years old, I find it hard to sleep in any way as I am too tall."
"Looks like an excuse to buy a new one. Maybe king size!"Bella murmured as Jake started to move inside her again. She collapsed on top of him and let her body enjoy the pleasure that he induced within her. She knew that she was close again and she cried out as her body clamped around him and he followed soon after.
They lay on the floor wrapped around each other, neither willing to move and break the spell they were under. The day seemed surreal to them both and they ran their hands over each other's bodies in gentle caresses trying to make sure that this was real.
"I love you Bells, "Jake whispered in her ear, over and over.
Bella pressed soft kisses on his throat and then laid her head over his heart and listened to it beating strongly. "I love the sound of that."
Jacob stroked her hair and smiled at her words. The one thing he had been fighting for was to keep her heart beating. He could feel her taking deep breaths as she lay draped across his body. She was warm and alive in his arms. He had never felt so happy or content in his life. Nothing was going to separate them now. Bella was all his and if Edward even tried to come between them again he would not hesitate to defend his position.
Bella eventually drifted off to sleep as Jacob continued to stroke her hair soothingly. It was not long before he followed her into slumber.
At the Cullen mansion Edward had been berated by Carlisle to calm himself down and think rationally. He kept ranting that the dog had kidnapped his bride but Carlisle had pointed out that Bella had seemed quite happy to jump on the back of the bike. He had sent Rosalie away as she kept baiting Edward and laughing at him. Alice had arrived and ended up in an argument with her adopted sister. She would always take her favourite brother's side.
Jasper, Emmet and Esme had wisely kept their distance. They did not see the big deal. Edward had some old fashioned ideas and even they had noticed Bella's doubts. She was the most unenthusiastic bride ever. It had only been Edward's constant badgering that she had agreed to it in the first place. Alice had been one hundred percent behind Edward as she loved organising and dressing up. This whole wedding had been planned and prepared by her, none of it had been Bella's choice. As ever she had gone along with it to make Edward happy.
Carlisle sat across from his son."Look Edward give Bella some time, she will come around. You must admit you have been pushing her lately."
Edward narrowed his eyes. "Bella has been influenced by the dog and his compatriots. I have no doubt that she did not want to upset him again. That is why she left when she did. I know that she has been worried about his whereabouts. He has manipulated her into feeling sorry for him. You know how selfless she is."
"I am not quite sure that is how it is Edward. I think that maybe Bella has come to realise that..."Carlisle started to say.
"What?"
"I think she does not feel the same way you do anymore Edward."Carlisle stated bluntly.
Edward's golden eyes bored into his adopted father's. He stood slowly and started to pace, the blood thirsty urge to hunt was rife upon him. He needed a release. Carlisle could see his son struggling with his emotions.
"I can see you need to hunt Edward. Stay close to home and when you return we will talk again. I am sure Bella will have been in contact by then," Carlisle said soothingly.
Edward gave him an abrupt nod and like a flash disappeared out of sight. He was going to hunt but afterwards he was going to scout around the La Push border and see if he could ascertain whether Bella was on the reservation. Carlisle was wrong. Bella would never leave him for Jacob. Once he managed to see her again she would fall into his arms. With this thought in mind, Edward gave himself up to his bloodlust and went in for the kill.
A/N-I cannot write Edward Cullen. I know he is OOC, but I tried my best. Please let me know what you think, thanks.
