Chapter 7

Bella

Two weeks had gone by since I moved in with Edward and his house felt like home more and more everyday. Tonight Edward was hosting poker night, but Victoria was coming over to keep me company and bringing her step-daughter, Eloise. "I made taco dip," I told Edward when he walked in the door. He had gone to the corner store to grab beer.

"Sounds good," he shoved the beer into fridge "So this one cop, Garrett is coming tonight and he's bringing his girlfriend." I shrugged, this was his poker night not mine. "It's Abby."

"Abby, like the Abby you used to date? The one that threw herself into your arms like a crazy woman?" Edward nodded and rubbed his forehead "That's fine, it's not my poker night so it's whatever."

"Bella," he moved forward and wrapped his arms around my waist "if you don't want her here I'll just tell Garrett not to bring her." I shook my head "Alright." I went back to cleaning the kitchen then went into Mamrie's room and sat on the floor with her and Ellie.

"What are you two doing?" I asked looking at the poster board on the floor.

"Coloring," Mamrie told me "we found this huge paper and Edward said we could draw on it." She handed me a purple crayon "Draw with us, remember when we made that big poster for Grandpa Charlie for his birthday?"

"Yeah," I smiled "he was so happy." I looked at Ellie "What's wrong El, you're not talking?"

"I miss home, and grandpa." She sniffled and climbed into my lap.

"Ellie I told you not to say anything." Mamrie huffed "She's been like this for the past two days, I don't know what to do I even let her sleep in my bed with me." I hugged Ellie to me and kissed her head.

"You know we only have two weeks left, if you really want to leave we can early." Mamrie shrugged and Ellie nodded a yes. "Mamrie do you want to leave early?"

She sighed "I don't know, I really like it here I do. I just miss Hannah, we talk all the time on the phone but she's my best friend and it's not like she can come here. I miss grandpa too, and the other Cullen's, I love Edward but I miss everyone."

That's when it hit me, I was so shellfish. I had come to Tennessee without asking the kids, yes they might love it here but Texas was there home. It was where they wanted to be and I took it from them. "We'll leave in two days, I'll get plane tickets but I don't want you saying anything to Edward I will." I kissed both of them and walked out of the room.

I needed to find a house, and I needed to start work again. I knew Mamrie hated her school so finding her a new one would be another task. This was going to be one fucked up night.

OOO

"I think I might throw up." I leaned over and said to Victoria as we watched Abby sit on Garrett's lap as he played poker. She did nothing but whisper in his ear and give me dirty looks. Victoria and I sat away from the boys and in the kitchen eating.

"I can't keep watching, have you noticed she keeps looking at Edward. The fuck." Victoria said grabbing a chip.

"She does realize I am with him, and she has a boyfriend? This girl is crazy, am I going to have to fight here?" I smiled.

Victoria laughed and shook her head "Calm down crazy, you don't need to fight anyone. She's harmless...I think. I haven't seen her fight anyone...except that one time at the bar."

"I can't really fight, I was joking. The best I can do is throw my wine at her, maybe some scratches or hair pulling but that's about it."

"Oh Bella."

"Listen I need advice," I said grabbing my glass of wine "the girls want to leave. They love it here but they miss home, I texted Alice and told her I need her to find a small house for me. I have to tell Edward tonight, what should I say?"

"Wow," Victoria looked at Edward and then back at me "my advice is the truth, tell him the girls want to go home. Break it slowly, he's not going to be happy I can tell."

"You think he'll still visit? Maybe come see the kids?" I asked.

Victoria shrugged "I don't know honestly, I would say yes but then again he might be pretty hurt. Listen I'm not sure, men are as complicated as women are."

The poker game felt like it had gone on for hours when finally at eleven Victoria got Eloise and told James it was time to leave, with that everyone did. I made she the girls were sleeping and started helping Edward clean the kitchen.

"That was fun," I said washing the dishes. Edward stood next to me with a towel, drying after I washed. "I have to tell you something."

"Okay," Edward said taking the bowl I handed him.

"I was talking to the girls today and Ellie was acting weird and when I asked her what was wrong she told me she was home sick, like she wanted to go home." I turned off the sink. "Mamrie want's to go home as well."

"What are you trying to say?" He asked.

"We're leaving back to Texas in two days, they want to leave Edward I can't keep them here."

"So you're just going to go? Like that?"

"I can't keep them here, they're my kids and they come first. Plus if we're gone you can go do your FBI thing."

He threw the towel on the sink "Well I can see that your mind is made up. Have a nice flight home." He stormed off into his room and slammed the door close. I felt like shit, my heart felt like it was being squeezed and all I wanted to do was scream, but all that happened was tears. I ran over to his room and knocked on his door.

"Edward please," I sniffled "please don't do this." I leaned my head on his door "Don't hate me, you have to understand my kids-" The door opened. He stood before me, bare chest , jeans unbuttoned. "Edward please-"

I stopped when he pulled me forward and crashed his lips onto mine. I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him passionately letting him know how much I needed him at this moment. He lifted me into his arms and turned into his room, kicking the door shut behind him. He set me down beside the bet and looked at me as I slowly began to undress. Edward's patience didn't last long, his lips were back on mine and it was hard to kiss him and get my shirt off. Once we both were completely naked he followed me down to the bed and gently covered my body.

He settled himself between my thighs and started kissing my neck "I've dreamed about this moment," he nibbled at my earlobe "I love you Bella." I didn't say anything back. Edward kissed down the valley of my breasts then back up to my mouth. He went to reach for a condom but I stopped him, "I'm on the pill." He nodded and started pushing inside of me, his head fell to my shoulder at I whimpered at his invasion. He was huge, and I hadn't had sex in three years. It was like two odd puzzle pieces being shoved together.

We needed to slow down. "Edward please...not so fast." I gasped "I haven't had...sex.."

He froze "Bella, you have two kids."

"It's just been awhile, like three years okay?" I turned my face away, embarrassed. Edward turned my face back to him and gently, but slowly kissed my cheek, then down to my chin, the tip of my nose and then my lips.

"I don't want to hurt you okay? Just tell me if I'm hurting you, I'll stop." I nodded and moved my hips as he slid in deeper. His thrusts became steady and every roll of his hips sent him in deeper. I bit down hard on his shoulder as Edward pushed into me again. Pleasure and pain crashed inside of me and I went over the edge crying out Edward's name. He picked up his pace and pushed himself deep inside of me and groaned my name.

For long minutes I held onto him, gently kissing his neck. "I love you Edward." I whispered into his ear. He rolled over and kept me in his arms. As I rested my head on his chest realization hit me : the hardest thing was going to be leaving him.

XOXO
