Chapter 7 – Inquisition

EPOV

I must have fallen asleep because the sun shining through the window directly into my face woke me up.

I sat and stared at Bella for hours, it felt. I memorized everything that I could see. I wanted to know so much more about her. But, I wasn't sure if she was even interested in me.

Yes, she asked me to stay, but she was shook up and a little freaked out by what happened with James. She even told me she didn't want to be alone. I wonder if she knows that she was talking in her sleep. It sounded like she said my name a time or two but I couldn't really understand her. She was mumbling into the pillow. I wonder what she dreamt about.

Stretching out a little, I realize this chair was not a good place to sleep. My back is all cramped up and my neck is stiff. But, it was worth it to watch her sleep.

The blankets start moving and I realize she's close to waking up. I wonder if I should just get up and leave or move to the living room. Before I have time to move, she's blinking her eyes and frowning.

"What are you doing here, Edward?" she whispered.

"Um, well, you asked me to stay last night. You were pretty shook up and had quite a bit to drink." I told her.

"Oh." She starts trying to sit up. "Ugh, that must be why my head is throbbing. I need some aspirin." Pulling the blankets back, she starts rolling off the bed.

"Bella, I'll get it, just tell me where it's at. I need to use the bathroom, anyways." Standing all the way up, I realize that my dick is straining inside my jeans. Quickly, I turn to start folding up the blanket I used, hoping to hide my hard on.

"Edward, it's ok. I'll get it. I need to get up anyway. The bathroom's right through that door. I'll start us some breakfast. I keep the aspirin in the kitchen, anyway." She looked like she was trying to look at anything but me. She seems a little more shy than usual this morning. Not sure if it's because I'm here after spending the night or just me in general.

"Bella, you don't have to go to any trouble. I'm sure you've got things to do today and I don't want to put you out or anything. I'll just use the bathroom and go." I told her, hoping she'd ask me to stay. I finally had a few moments alone with her and I wanted to find out as much as I could.

"It's really no trouble. I've got to eat, too. I need something greasy to help with my head, so I hope that's ok." She chuckled. Finally, she looked up at me with a small smile on her face. Damn, this girl is just plain beautiful. My dick straining against my zipper reminded me that I needed to keep myself in check, especially when I hardly know anything about this girl. "Sure, sounds good. I'll be right out." I told her walking in to the bathroom and shutting the door.

After taking a leak, I realized that this room reeked of Bella's scent. Sweet, clean and woman, the scent filled my nose. I washed my hands, splashed some cold water on my face and grabbed the hand towel to dry off. There it was, that smell, again. I just inhaled it and wondered if her skin tasted as good as it smelled.

Walking into the kitchen I stopped and watched her. This woman fascinates me. I don't remember having felt this much pull to anyone before.

"So, do you have plans for today? " I tried to casually ask her. Secretly hoping she doesn't.

"Oh, well, I just wanted to get a little more done around the apartment. Maybe do some grocery shopping. And I need to retype my resume." She said while working on the food at the stove.

"Well, I've got a free day today, which doesn't happen very often. I wonder if you might like to do something with me. Maybe go to a movie or hit the market." I asked as I poured myself a cup of coffee.

"That sounds nice, Edward. But I don't want you to think you have to keep me company. I'm sure you've got a million other things you'd like to be doing." She put her face down so that her hair covered it.

"Bella, I would really like to spend some time with you today. Because I'd like to get to know you better. My whole family loves and adores you. It's only fair that I get to learn more about you, too." I pulled out the stool at the little bar to sit and watch her finish up the food.

She just nodded and said, "Ok, that would be fun. I haven't been to the market in years. I'd really enjoy going with you."

She brings the plates over and sets one in front of me. "This looks great, Bella. I haven't had a home cooked breakfast in a long time." I told her while stuffing my face. I was moaning over this delicious food and watching a blush take over her face.

"Thanks, I really miss having someone to cook for." She smiled but it didn't reach her eyes. There was something sad dulling the shine.

I want to know what she's thinking. She's sitting there eating, occasionally glancing up at me with a small smile on her lips. Then the blush is back and it just drives me crazy.

"Are you feeling better now that you've eaten? Eating usually helps cure the hangover." I chuckled at her, taking my plate and coffee cup to the sink.

"Yes, the aspirin, coffee and food is really helping me feel normal again. I can't believe I drank that much last night. I'm not usually a big drinker. I was just having so much fun and it felt good to just be so carefree. I didn't even realize that I'd had more than a few beers until we were in the cab."

"It's ok to have a good time, you know? I'm not a big drinker either, but it's easy to get carried away when you are with that group of people. Emmett was definitely on a roll last night, for sure." I laughed, hoping to ease her embarrassment.

"So, I'm gonna head to my apartment, shower and change. Then I'll come pick you up in say two hours?" I asked hoping that I gave her enough to get ready but not to much time to change her mind.

"Perfect. That'll give me time to work on my resume a little, too."

"Great. I'll be back to pick you up. You might want to bring a jacket in case it starts to rain again." I told her as I picked up my jacket.

"Ok, Edward. See ya soon." She followed me to the door, smiling at me. I turned and waved at her, walking down the few steps to the sidewalk. Hailing a cab, I went back to the club to get my car so I could head home to get ready.

Stepping into my apartment, I realized that my phone was buzzing in my jacket pocket. I had 10 missed calls from Alice along with 10 voicemails and 15 texts. Fuck, Alice is going to be a pain in the ass because I didn't answer my phone. Knowing she'd just show up over here if I didn't call her back, I hit her number and send.

"Well brother dear, it's about time you called me back. Did you get Bella home ok? Was she alright? You better not doing anything to her, Edward, or your dick will no longer be safe. She's been through a lot of shit and I just got her back. You better not run her off, do you hear me?"
Geez, did she ever stop to take a breath?

"Yes, Alice, she got home ok. We took a cab back to her place. She was a little drunk so I stayed with her to make sure that she was ok. What makes you think that I'm going to hurt her?"

"Edward, please tell me you didn't sleep with her? She's not ready for that." Alice whined at me.

"No, Alice, give me a little credit. Drunk girls don't usually do it for me, you know?" I forcefully told her. "Besides, Alice, I don't know what she's been through but I do know that she seems a little guarded and I wouldn't push her that way. She asked me to stay so she wouldn't be alone. I slept in the chair." Taking a deep breath and then sighing "I know how much you've missed her, I wouldn't do that you."

"Oh Edward, I'm sorry. I've just really, really missed her all these years. I just got her back." She softened and then "So, did you kiss her?" Alice started giggling.

"Ok, it's time for me to go. I've gotta shower and get ready." Please don't ask me why. Please? Please?

Alice starts squealing through the phone, so loudly I have to hold it away from my ear. "Why, Edward, where do you have to be today? I know you are off so do you have plans with Bella? Are you taking her on a date? I know just where you can take her." I can feel her jumping up and down through the phone.

"Alice, I'm a grown man. I do not need your help planning anything. But, yes, I do have plans with Bella today. Please, back off and let me get to know her a little. Ok?" I didn't want to whine but I need her to stay out of this and let me do it my way. I need to know Bella in my own way and if Alice starts interfering it won't happen.

"Come on, Edward, you do need my help, you know and I know it. But, I'll just wait until you come groveling to me now. It's gonna cost ya, big brother." Alice starts laughing while I just cringe.

"Ok. On that note, I'm hanging up. Love you." I hung up the phone, threw it on the couch and headed to my bedroom. Walking into my room I stripped off my clothes and headed to the bathroom. Starting the shower, I adjusted the water temp, grabbed my towel and stepped in. The hot water felt good on my stiff neck and back. Sleeping in that chair sucked but it was worth it for the time I got to just watch her sleep. This girl has come out of nowhere and invaded my head. Something about her just pulls me to her. There's a feeling of pain that shines just behind the light in her eyes. I want to know who put that there and how come they are still walking around.

Thinking about her skin in the moonlight, her hair cascading over the pillows, I feel myself starting to get hard. Come on, Edward, this is just a girl. You're going to let her get to you like this?

For some reason, I see this girl as more than just a pussy to get my dick wet in. I can see myself having something with her. I can see endless nights of making love to her. I can feel passion like I've never experienced. I can see us in my bed, moon shining through the window and her lying under me, panting as I pull her tight little nipple into my mouth. Rolling my tongue all around it, biting it gently, tugging harder as she grasps the back of my head. I can hear her little whimpers while her back is arching up so that more of her is in my mouth. I can feel my hand sliding down her side, grasping her hip while I grind into her, causing her to moan out loud while pushing her hips up into me and my dick slides through her heat. I can feel how wet she is, "Please Edward, please?" she begs.

"Please what Bella?" I slip my dick through her heat again, feeling my tip graze her clit. The sensation almost sends me over the edge. "Please, more, your cock, please, inside" she manages to get out while panting hard. "Oh Bella, I thought you'd never ask" I say as I slip the head of my cock just inside her hot pussy. Heaven, she feels like heaven. Sliding further in, she's tight around me, causing me to take small, soft strokes.

"Harder, Edward, please, more"….she breathes out while tightening her legs around my hips. I pull myself up to her mouth and kiss her hard, fighting for control with my tongue as I start pounding in and out of her, trying to hold back my release. We settle into a strong, hard rhythm, kissing, biting, she claws my back, pulling me further into her, it's like neither of us can get close enough. "Yes, Edward, oh baby, I'm right there…please, don't stop" she's screaming at me…."I'm trying Bella, I'm right there…..cum with me baby, now, please Bella"….I'm fighting to hold on until I feel her pussy clamped down on my cock and I release a white hot stream as deep into her as I can get. "UUUUUGGGGGGG, BELLLLAAAAAAAAA" I shout out…snapping back into reality, I realize I've just cum all over the shower wall in the hardest orgasm that I think I've ever had. Breathless and tingling, I put my hand out on the tile to hold myself up.

Fuck, I want this girl bad. I hope I get the chance. I hope my time is coming, and soon.
