Acting Like We're Animals
BPOV
Ugh I think shopping my shopping experiences with Alice are the most tiring parts of my existence. I wouldn't mind just shopping for a few hours every once in a while, but that is not how Alice shops. Alice practically runs while shopping. Alice spends entire days looking at shirts and shoes and handbags. Alice will probably be buried at one of the "4 B's" as she calls them. The 4 B's are Barneys, Bergdorf's, Bloomingdales, and Bendel, as in Henri Bendel, obvious apparently to everyone in New York except me. Now if I am going to shop at all, I want to shop in a mall where the next store is only a few feet away. New York City shopping is not at all like a mall. Granted the fresh air is nice, but everything else about walking down Madison Avenue with tons of people, honking cabs, and dirty sidewalks was not really up my alley.
Haha up my alley. Like in New York…they have alleys in the street…I kill myself
I put my key into the door of the apartment and open the door, throwing down my bags and my purse on the end table in the hallway. I call Edward's name but I hear no response so I'm guessing he's still at the gym. Now my first order of business is my feet. I have found that walking around New York all day in sandals is not a good idea because, as of this moment, the bottoms of my feet are pitch black. I walk down the hallway and into the kitchen to grab an apple from the fridge before walking into the bathroom. I take a bite into my Macintosh apple while turning the water on in the tub. Alice has a thing about eating while shopping. She says by eating and shopping at the same time, your attention can be diverted and you will not be focusing solely on the merchandise. So I haven't eaten since breakfast. And this apple tastes so fresh and juicy, I'm sure that God saw that I needed an apple and placed this perfect apple in the fridge just for Bella.
And Bella thanks you
I open the shower door and grab Edward's body wash. I take another bite of my apple and place the body wash on the side of the tub. I hold the apple in between my teeth while I sit on the edge of the tub and roll up the legs on my jeans. I test the water temperature and turn off the water and spin around on the edge of the tub, sliding my feet into the water. I take the apple out from in between my teeth and take another bite.
Yes. Yes I do believe that this apple came straight from the heavenly Lord above. And praise be to little baby Jesus with all his frankincense and myrrh for this lovely apple.
I put the apple between my teeth again and squeeze the soap into my hands before lifting each foot and scrubbing. And o boy did I have to scrub. I eventually got all of the black off my feet and let the water drain from the tub. I walk over to the sink and wash and dry my hands before taking the apple out of my mouth for another big bite. I walk out of the bathroom and through the kitchen to get to the family room. I throw myself down stomach first onto the couch and decide to wait for Edward.
He was all I thought about all day. I kept imagining different scenarios where he would magically appear on the fourth floor of Bloomingdale's and carry me out of the dressing room and run home. I had to settle for watching him and Alice fight over me through texts. I almost just left at about 1:00 but Alice gave me a dress that actually looked pretty good. And another one that looked pretty good. And then we reached a store called La Petite Coquette. Which was a store for yes, you guess it, lingerie. I complained about getting more bras and underwear since she already seemed to have dealt with that situation. She insisted that we were here to get me stuff to sleep in.
"Bella you can't sleep in his clothes the whole time you're here." Alice says.
"But Alice I don't have a problem with sleeping in his clothes. I like sleeping in his clothes actually." I say while playing with the hem of a light blue silk baby doll. It was actually kind of cute and had white lace on the top and bottom.
"That's really cute Bella why don't you try it on? It's Edward's favorite color on you, you know." Alice adds.
"It is?" I say, taking the baby doll off the wall to contemplate trying it on.
"O my gosh yes!" Alice screams. She pushes me into the dressing room so I can try it on. And I actually like it. Surprise! I get dressed again and walk out and Alice smiles at me.
"Yes?" she asks. I nod and go to look at the price tag but she snatches it away from me before I can see it. That must mean it was expensive. She pays for it and hands me the bag, noticing the uncertainty in my face. If I wasn't asking for it before, now I really was.
"It won't hurt to try." Alice says taking my arm in hers. She sees that I'm getting rather tired as well.
"What do you say we call it a day?" Alice asks with a smile. My face immediately lifts up as I see her hail a cab.
As I'm looking at the ceiling I realize that I have not seen the right side of the apartment yet. I roll off the couch, taking another bite of my apple, and walk down the hallway leading to the right side of the apartment. On the left side of the hallway I see his office door open. I walk in and sit down in the big chair behind the desk. It has wheels on it so I spin the chair around, trying to make myself spin really fast and have to grab onto the top desk drawer to stop myself. I giggle and let go of the drawer handle and walk out of the office and down the hall to the dining room. And it's beautiful. It's the same dark wood used throughout the rest of the apartment and very creamy. The room reminds me of coffee with lots of cream.
Yummy. This room is yummy and I like it very much. Yummy like Edward.
I take the final bite from my apple and turn around and walk down the hallway and past the office and family room to through my apple core in the trash can in the kitchen. I look at the clock above the stove and figure that maybe it's about time to start dinner. I open the fridge and see that he really doesn't have much to work with and I'm not complaining because I'm quite tired and don't feel like doing any heavy duty cooking. In the freezer I see some chicken stick things and decide that they will have to suffice. I turn the oven on and wait for it to heat up to 350 degrees. I can't help it and just start thinking about Edward. I think about how much I missed him and how glad I was when he found me at the club. I think about how great it felt just to wake up in his arms. I thought about his hair, his eyes, his arms, his chest, how his hands felt on me, how his lips felt on me.
Okay I'm getting turned on just thinking about him. Must stop thinking now so I don't jump his bones when he gets home.
The oven beeps to tell me that it is all heated up and I stick the chicken stuff into the oven and start the timer. I walk over to the sink to rinse off my hands and feel a pair of arms wrap strongly around my waist and a pair of lips kiss the nape of my neck. I yelp a little bit in shock and turn around quickly in the arms around my waist.
"Edward! Geez I didn't even hear you come in you scared me to death!" I say. He smiles at me the entire time, obviously not concerned with my sudden rise in heart rate.
"I'm sorry love. I couldn't help myself" Edward says his lips only an inch from mine.
"It's okay…" I whisper, my voice shaking a little bit.
He lightly kisses my lips and pulls away looking in my eyes. I look back and reach up and place my hands on his shoulders. I bite my bottom lip lightly, which I know drives him crazy. He leans down and kisses me lightly again before pulling back again. He doesn't pull as far back as before, only a few centimeters so that our lips are lightly brushing against each other.
"Edward please" I groan impatiently.
Edward kisses me again but with more fevor this time, opening my mouth with his. My arms automatically wrap around his neck and I push my body against his. Edward groans into my mouth and pushes his body back against mine, making my back arch against the counter. His hands slowly slide underneath my shirt and up and down my sides, making me shiver. His lips trail down my neck and stop at the hollow space at the bottom of my neck. I move my hands from his shoulders and slide them on his back underneath his beater, feeling his muscles clench under my fingertips. I thought about taking his shirt off but decided against it in case someone walked in.
Wait. We are here alone. No one else lives here. No one is going to catch us.
Once I register this fact I slide my hands down his back and around to the front hem of his shirt and slowly remove it and throw it on the floor. I run my fingertips up his chest, outlining the curves in his muscles with my fingers to which he sucks in a shaky breath.
"Bella" he says pushing me harder against the counter top. The counter hits me in the wrong spot on my spine this time and I wince a little at the pain.
"Sorry love" Edward whispers. I'm afraid that he is going to stop us, but he picks me up and in his arms are carries me into the family room and sits down on the couch with me in his lap. His lips attack mine again and I can feel his fingers fumbling with the buttons on my shirt.
"For god's sake Edward just rip it off" I say against his lips. And boy did he rip it. He reached up to the top of my shirt where the buttons were and let out a low growl as he ripped my shirt down the middle, buttons popping off everywhere. He pulls the shirt down my arms and throws it on the floor. I wrap my arms around his neck and move so that I am straddling him. As our kisses get hotter and wetter, I grind my core harder into his, both of us grunting at the feeling. Edward moves his lips to kiss the tops of my breasts and reaches his hands up to palm me through my bra. I push my chest harder into his hand and grip his hair in an attempt to hold his lips closer to me. His hands snake around to the clip on the back of my bra. He looks up at me, asking permission, and I nod my head. Edward slowly unclips my bra and slides the straps down my shoulders. I let the bra fall off of me and Edward takes it and throws it to the side of the room. He leans back against the couch and holds my sides with his hands. I can feel the blush creeping up to my face with him staring at me, even though I don't feel uncomfortable in the slightest.
"Bella, you are so beautiful." Edward whispers, moving his hands up my sides to grasp my face and kisses me hard. I grab his forearms and pull him closer to me, brushing our bare chests against each other.
"Bella" Edwards says gruffly. His hands slowly move down my sides and brush the sides of my breasts, which are aching for his touch and I can barely take the teasing. Slowly, he moves his hands towards each other so that he is just resting his hands on my chest. I can't take it anymore and push my chest into his hands, causing him to let out a small groan and finally begin to rub my breasts.
"Edward" I moan softly, throwing my head back. Suddenly I feel Edward lean forward and take my nipple into his mouth.
Holy. Shit. Well that was unexpected.
"Edward" I groan louder this time and push my pelvis into his as his other hand comes up to palm my breast that his mouth is not occupied with. After a few minutes of this I yank harder on his hair and pull his mouth off of my chest. I crash my lips down to his and a massive grinding fest occurs, again forcing our bare chests to rub against each other. I release my hands from around his neck and snake them down to the button on his pants. When I have the button undone and am starting on the zipper he realizes what I'm doing and grabs my wrist.
"Bella stop" he says breathily.
"Why" I ask impatiently.
"We can't. We can't do this." He answers softly.
I let my head fall against his shoulder.
"Why the hell not? I love you Edward. I love you more than anything and I want to share that experience with you. Please." I beg, trying to bring down his zipper.
"Bella we can't." Edward says.
I finally start to realize and slump downwards, my head still resting on his shoulder.
"You don't want to." I say quietly. Edward hears me and grabs my face from his shoulder and looks at me with a fierceness that I had never seen from him before.
"Don't ever say that. Don't you even think that. It's not that I don't want to have that with you, I do. Sometimes I have a hard time thinking about anything else. I just don't want to do it like this. Bella, I don't want our first time to be fucking, I want our first time to be making love. And if we go there now, like all the other times we have come close to going there, we would be fucking. We are always too caught up in the heat of the moment. I want to make love to you Bella. And we should do that on a beautiful bed with candles and roses and music not on my couch when I'm all sticky from working out and your pants are rolled up to your knees from doing something or other. It should be planned and it should be perfect." Edward finishes. I lean forward to rest my forehead against his.
"Edward it would be perfect. No matter if we do it on this couch, in a fancy bedroom, or on the biology tables at Forks High School it wouldn't matter. I would be perfect because it was with you." I whisper.
We sit like this for a few minutes before I hear the timer ding in the kitchen. I reluctantly climb off of his lap and reach for my bra. Edward get up and grabs my wrists before I can put it on.
"Can you leave it off for a little bit love? I won't dress if you won't." Edward smirks at me.
Looking at Edward's bare chest for a while? That's an offer too good to pass up.
