Chapter 7 – Danger
Edward and I lay in each others arms, naked, after our long and passionate night. It truly was the best night of my life. I loved him so much and we had finally been able to express that love and give in to our desires.
The dim light of another sunless day had come out hours ago but we just stayed in each others arms, completely content…
Until we heard a hard knock at the door. "Excuse me but its time to check out and we need the room," called the annoying voice of the clerk who had given us our room last night.
I opened my eyes and squinted, adjusting from the darkness of my eyelid to the light, however dim, of a new day. I groaned, really disliking that clerk right now. I felt Edward's chest rumble beneath me before I heard a soft growl, he seemed to be thinking along the same lines.
I was waiting for him to get up, but then realized I was on top of him. Slowly and reluctantly I sat up. We were acting like we just woke up, though we weren't tired at all. But our pure bliss was interrupted; I think we have a reason to be grumpy.
I turned to face him, kissed his chest and ran my hands up and down it before climbing out of the bed. I ran, naked, to the bathroom where I left my dress last night when I changed into the babydoll. When I got there I lightly closed the door until it was open just a crack. I was about to slide on the dress when a thought about a shower popped into my head and became appealing to me. I knew I didn't have to take one, ever again, but it would still probably feel good.
Instead of putting on my dress I turned on the water for a shower. The inn people could wait another ten minutes. When the water had enough time to get to the set temperature, I shut the curtain, turned on the shower nozzle and stepped in. The water seemed a lot hotter than it usually would have been, but it didn't burn. It actually felt soothing against my ice cold skin.
I faced away from the water downpour and tilted my head back into it to wet my hair. Once it was soaked through I grabbed the shampoo and lathered it into my hair. It actually smelled nice, for hotel shampoo; it was like a soothing vanilla scent. Once it was all rubbed in I rinsed it and opened my eyes to find the soap. When they opened they darted to the one thing that caught my complete and full attention; Edward.
He was quietly stepping in with a beautiful smile on his perfect features. He stepped closer and grabbed my waist, pulling me against him. I looked at his body and was amazed that he could look even more breathtaking; with the beads of water trickling and cascading their way down the perfect muscles of his chest. I raised my head to see him analyzing me in the same way. I brought my arms up and locked them around his neck. His eyes shifted to mine and he smiled his crooked smile that left me staring at his perfect lips in longing. He leaned down, bringing temptation closer and closer. Finally, his lips met mine and I dove into the kiss. I opened my lips and let my tongue make it way into his mouth as he did the same. One of my hands stayed locked around his neck, not letting him go anywhere, while my other rested against the side of his neck and collar bone. His hands roamed all over my naked body. Going from my hips to my back, to my thighs and made their way up, where he stopped at my breasts. He cupped them with his hands and massaged them to the rhythm of our kiss.
After a minute of this he moved his hands to grab the soap, without breaking the kiss. He brought the soap to my stomach and ran it along my body. When he was done I just pressed up against him so he didn't need it, and ran my soapy hands along his back. We broke the kiss and I pressed my head further into his chest as he held me lovingly to him. We stood there, letting the soap wash off, soaking in each others presence.
After another minute or so we pulled away to look into each other eyes. His were filled with nothing but love. We stepped out of the shower together, his arm around my waist. It was amazing because I didn't even feel embarrassed at all, even when he was staring at my naked body, no embarrassment. Just love.
I smiled and he smiled back as he reached for my dress. He handed it to me then went for his own clothes which he had brought in with him. When he reached for his he paused and took interest in something on the floor; a little black piece of fabric. He bent down then stood up with a tiny black, lacy thong in his hand. He raised his eyebrows as I looked at it I disgust. I sighed. "Alice," I explained. A smile grew on his face that was between disbelief and smugness. "She threatened me with Jasper!" I defended myself. He only laughed and pushed it out for me to take. I took it reluctantly, put my legs through and slid it up in place. He stopped reaching for his clothes again to stare at me. Or rather a specific part of my body; my butt. I was still feeling playful so I winked and blew a kiss at him. He snapped out of his daze to smile hugely at me again, which I returned. Now I'm not the only one who ogles.
I slipped the dress over my head and hopped on the counter to sit and watch him dress. First he pulled on his boxers. I was sad to see this because I loved him naked. I realized how perverted that sounded and almost laughed. But I was his fiancé and I can enjoy it. I know he feels the same way.
'I love you Edward Cullen,' I exclaimed into his mind. He paused from doing up his belt and looked up at me, 'I love you Isabella Cullen,' he replied in his thoughts. We shared a smile at the name. I was soon to be Isabella Cullen. Edward Cullen's wife. I saw myself start to glow again, which increased his smile because it proved just how happy I was with this. He continued to get dressed and I continued to watch him like the stalker fiancé I am.
When he was about to button up his shirt I jumped down and grabbed his hands in mine.
"Why don't we show that jerk just how much you mean to me." I said seductively, clasping onto his fingers. He raised his eyebrows then looked a little in thought and finally ended with a mischievous grin. I smiled back the turned around, moving his hands to his lower back where my zipper was located. He got the message and slowly brought the zipper up. He opposite hand leading its way between the two sides along my back. I shivered at the wonderful feeling of his light touch.
He grabbed me by the shoulders and turned me around to face him. "Come on, Bella, let's go home." He said happily as he took my hand and walked us to the main room. I saw the babydoll we had discarded lying on the floor near the door. I was about to pick it up when Edward beat me to it.
He picked it up in one hand, looking it over. "You know I think I'm going to have to get you a few more of these," he turned to look at me with a sly smile on, "you looked quite irresistible," he finished in a sexy tone.
I smiled, embarrassed now. He put it in the small bag and reclaimed my hand. On our way to the door he snatched the card key from the desk and led me out of the room. Both unable to stop smiling form our wonderful night.
Halfway on our way to the front desk I leaned into Edward's bare chest and he put his arm around me. When we stepped up to the desk the clerk had an annoyed and angry face on. To annoy him further I ran my hand up and down Edward's chest and snuggled my face into it. I looked at Edward and he looked like he was hiding laughter.
"We're checking out, please," He said, still on the verge of a laugh attack.
"Thank god," the clerk said under his breath, unaware that we could hear.
Edward snorted in laughter but quickly disguised it with a cough so the man couldn't hear, though I still could. I wasn't sure what was so funny so I decided to see in the clerks thoughts because there was nothing besides him that could possibly be funny. There was nothing else around.
Thank God their leaving. And she can't even keep her hands off him. What a whore. Edward growled softly at this and I was a bit offended. I mean half the hotel could hear them last night. We're going to have to burn that bed.
I stood there, mortified, while Edward gave the key back and pulled me with him. We quickly made our way out of the building. We got a dirty look from one person we passed. I didn't even want to know how much people heard. I just wanted to get far away from here. Far, far away.
Once we were in the car I sat there staring straight ahead, not looking at anything while Edward started the car and pulled out. Then something dawned on me.
"You knew! You knew and you still let me make a whore of myself in front of the whole Inn." I accused.
He didn't take his eyes off the road the as he said, "Actually, it was only two people," I glared at him so he continued on his brilliant excuse, "Bella, you are my fiancé, your allowed to do that, it's not as if your some random girl off the street, so they have no right to think anything wrong with it."
"You knew I'd be embarrassed, why didn't you tell me?" I pouted now.
"One. Because I wanted to rub it in that bastards face. Two. I was hoping you wouldn't find out so you wouldn't have to be embarrassed at all." He explained.
I wasn't too happy about the first one, though, I was the one who came up with it. The second one did prove he was trying to protect me so I let it go because although he did have an ulterior motive, he was doing what he thought was best for me.
As we continued to drive home my thoughts drifted to my human life as I gazed out at the trees.
"Hey Edward," he looked at me to show me he was listening so I continued, "What are we going to do now. I mean, with school and Charlie and the wedding. I know he won't exactly approve, nor will Renee," I asked. Carlisle had told me I would be continuing school but I didn't really want to stay with Charlie. I mean, I did, but now that Edward and I are engaged I would love to live with him and the Cullens. Also, I could be a danger to Charlie if I wasn't careful.
He smiled, which comforted me, "We can do whatever you want. I mean, if you were a normal vampire, we'd have to fake your death and move, but you've shown extraordinary resistance to blood. Because of this we can continue the way we would have through school. After that we could go to college, though we have an eternity to do so now. Either way after we're done we need to move. People will start to get suspicious above Carlisle looking so young at the age he's trying to convey. But before that I was hoping…" He paused for a moment, considering if he should continue. "Move in with us." He finished, eyes on me, judging my reaction.
I was so happy again; this was what I had just been thinking about! What was he so worried about? I mean he just proposed and he's worried about this. I almost laughed. "Of course Edward, of course I will move in with you!"
His face grew from calculating to a smile as he turned back to the road. I to looked back to the road with a smile on my face. We could have even more nights like last night. I saw the windshield reflecting light as it shone off me like a flashlight. Edward saw this and laughed; his own thoughts probably down the same path as mine.
Soon we were pulling into my driveway…Wait, my? "Edward, why are we here?" I asked cautiously.
"We're going to tell Charlie about you moving in with me." I could see the light begin to dim and fade away and he saw my horrified expression. "It will be fine Bella. We need to do this." He said soothingly as he took my hand and squeezed it reassuringly.
I nodded and opened the door. When we met at the front of the car he reclaimed my hand as another comforting gesture. It really did help. I always felt better with Edward.
I opened the front door and stepped in, pulling Edward with me. I could smell his blood tempting me but I could resist its pull. Maybe it was because of the whole vampire protector thing. I mean, how would you protect anyone if your busy frenzying over spilled blood.
"Bella?" I heard Charlie call from the living room.
"Yeah, dad it's me," I answered as I walked towards his voice.
"How was your stay at the Cullens last night?" He asked without looking away from the tv.
I paused for a second; he didn't know where I was last night, did he? No, he couldn't. Alice must have called. Okay so maybe I'll ease up on her when I get to her for the lingerie. Though, in the end it was good. Well, I'll get her from putting me through torture of the beauty supplies. Actually that turned out great too. Dammit! I sighed.
I tried not to seem guilty. If only he knew what I actually did last night. "It was great."
Finally he looked up at me and when he saw Edward he nearly fell off the couch in shock. "Oh, I didn't see you there Edward."
"Hello, Charlie," Edward greeted politely.
I wanted to run up to my room and lock the door, but also wanted to get this over with. I decided on the latter.
"Dad," I started, "I have something to tell you." I sounded guilty. I knew because I felt bad for leaving him alone and I'm a terrible liar.
"We have something to tell you, sir," Edward corrected.
I read Charlie's thoughts to see what he thought of it so far. I wish I hadn't.
Why does she look so guilty. And what does that boy have to do with it…why is she telling me right after she slept over there. OH MY FUCKING GOD. SHE'S PREGNANT. That boy is going to die, and under my hand.
His features turned to pure rage as he looked form me to Edward. Before I could recover from my shock he pointed an accusary finger at him and shook it wildly. "You, you got my little girl pregnant!" He shouted and was about to attack Edward.
I grabbed his finger and lowered it and his head whipped to me, "No! Dad! I'm not pregnant!" I never can be. I added silently in my head.
Charlie whipped his head from Edward to me, confused, and looking for reassurance of my statement. My honest expression gave him that and he relaxed and back away.
"I'm sorry Edward," he coughed, embarrassed by his outburst.
"That's quite alright sir, I understand you were just trying to protect your daughter." Edward said forgivingly.
I decided I would just tell him, rather than have a repeat of that.
"Dad, I'm moving in with the Cullens," I said quickly, hoping he wouldn't hear.
Unfortunately by the way his head whipped up to stare at me incredulously, he had. His face went from disbelieving to anger, to hurt. I want into his mind to find out why.
She must hate it here. She probably can't even stand me anymore and she wants to get away as soon as she can.
Hearing that probably hurt me more than him. I had to set it straight.
"Dad, its not you. I love living with you. Don't tell her, but you're even better than mom." It was true, although I missed and loved her very much, I liked the space and freedom Charlie gave me, and how we were both more comfortable keeping more to ourselves. "It's just, I love Edward, and his family too."
Charlie looked down, thinking, but most of the hurt had left his face.
Finally, he looked up with a half sad smile on. "Promise to visit your ol' man."
I stood there in disbelief. Had he actually just agreed? Without an argument about how I was too young? Edward nudged me to bring me out of my stunned state. I smiled warmly at my father, "Of course, Dad." I said as I walked over to him. I gave him a huge hug, in which he stilled from shock, then returned. We had never showed each other much feeling so it was a little bold.
"Bella, I understand you are 18 now and legally able to do what you want. But that's not why I'm agreeing. I've seen how happy Edward has made you. The way your face lights up when he's around." I would have blushed if I could, to hear your father talk about your love life is very embarrassing. " I also know your not only old enough but mature enough as well. You're a lot older than 18 to me. And I'm almost sad to see it. I love you and want you to be happy,. That is the reason I am allowing this."
"Dad, thank you, I love you so much!" I exclaimed as we pulled apart.
He turned his gaze to Edward, who had a happy smile on at our little love show. "You take good care of my little girl, or I swear you won't have another chance to hurt her ever again." He threatened.
"As long as I'm capable I will take care of her with my life," he said determinedly.
I smiled at them and rejoined Edward, who put his arm around my waist.
"When are you moving out?" Charlie asked.
I didn't know so I turned to Edward, who answered for me, "Next Friday."
"But that's in a week! How will you get everything over there?"
"We have everything she will need at our home. All she has to do is pack her valued items." Edward answered promptly.
"Oh," was all he said in recognition.
I looked around, not sure what to do next. Thankfully Edward did. "Come on Bella, let's go tell my family. Alice will be ecstatic."
I looked to Charlie, who nodded in approval. He was still my father, moving out and all-powerful being or not. "Thank you so much, Dad. I'll see you tonight," I said as Edward and I turned for the door.
"Okay, see you then." He said as he plopped back down on the couch.
"Oh, and Bella," Charlie called as we were half-way through he door. I paused and waited for him to continue. "Tell Carlisle I said hello, and say hi to Alice for me as well." I smiled, he always did like Alice. We spent a lot of time here together over the summer.
"Yeah Dad, I will." I called back to him and closed the door.
I couldn't help but smile hugely as Edward and I walked to his car. "I told you it'd be fine," Edward said, raising our hands and kissing the back of mine.
"And here," he added, reaching into his pocket and holding out a little silver key. I recognized the key as the key to my car. My fast car. I smiled mischievously.
I took the key and let go of Edwards hand to dash off towards my car. I noted to myself to ask what kind of car it was. Edward got in his car and backed out as I waited impatiently, tapping my foot beside the gas. Once he had sped away I darted out and came up behind him quickly, only inches away. 'Race you' I called in his head. Then I pushed down on the gas and jerked the steering wheel left to pass him.
I was going around 150 now and still felt in complete control. I looked in my rearview mirror and saw him about half a mile behind me. Wow, I love this car.
I made it to the Cullens house after a minute and waited for Edward to come. I got out of my car to lean on the side and smelled something wrong. Edward pulled up seconds after and got out, smiling. He saw the apprehension on my face and his smile turned to a worried stare.
"Someone's here." I explained. I could smell a different vampire from the Cullens, and my instincts were screaming at me; danger.
