Holidai - I didn't say how much he is giving her…because honestly I don't know *shh* And yeah Bella has said she is saving to get out of this life. She thinks getting out of Seattle means getting out of this 'job'.

Chapter 8
Edward eyes her as she throws two different sugary cereals into the cart. "Are you pregnant?" He questions with a smile.
Bella shoots him a look. "I like Pops and Apple Jacks…I haven't had them in, well years"
Edward nods in understanding. "Well go crazy"
"I'll pay for it myself" She tells him.
He moves and stops the cart she is pushing. "No you won't Bella, I'll pay"
She lowers her eyes. "Okay" Lifting them she looks at him staring at her still. She looks at him for a moment longer. "Did you pick one you liked?"
"I'll eat what you have put in" He confirms.
They continue on the path.
Edward watches her ponder over different kinds of beef.
"Do you want a beef stir fry?" Bella questions. "I can do a beef pie as well"
"Homemade crust?" Edward cuts his eyes wondering.
"Of course" She smiles with a nod.
"I like and want them both" He confirms. Edward watches her smile and put the meats into the cart.
"How about a roast dinner, I haven't had one" Bella shuts her eyes and touches her chest for a brief moment. Opening them she finds him staring at her. "For a long time"
"Do it, you can do it and have the girls over, do it for Wednesday dinner, I have to work from 5 until 11 Wednesday so it will give you some company"
"That is our shopping day" Bella puts a whole chicken into the cart. She needs to get some seasonings for it and the beef. She needs Crisco, for the pastry crust, vegetables, for the pie. "Sorry just planning" She grins as he is watching her mind maul over what she still needs.
"Yeah do the shopping day and send them away, then invite them back" Edward suggest.
"Okay" Bella nods. "Sounds good"
He watches her push the cart.
"Well" Jacob appears.
Edward smiles at his friend. "What are you doing here?" He laughs.
"What are you doing here, well hello kitten" He says to Bella. His eyes rake up and down her form, what he can see as she is behind the cart.
"This is my best friend Jacob" Edward places a light hand on Bella's lower back. "Jacob, Bella" He does the introductions.
"So is this the one?" Jacob questions.
"Yeah" Edward lowers his head and runs his free hand through his hair.
Bella looks at Edward. "Hi" She finally says to Jacob.
"Stunning" He admires. "You lucky dog" Jacob laughs.
"You are the dog Jake, and don't forget it"
"Nice to meet you Bella"
Bella smiles and nods. She leans into Edward a bit.
Lowering his head Edward watches her place her hand on his stomach, her fingers grip at the material there. He presses a kiss to her head.
"So domestic, never thought I would see the day" Jacob laughs.
"Shut it Jake"
"So Bella, come out tonight, drag this old man out, bring her with"
"I don't know" Edward is unsure.
"Are you old enough to get into a club beautiful?"
Bella looks at Jacob.
"She is old enough" Edward says. His hand rubbing up and down her back, bringing her comfort, she looks overwhelmed, more over whelmed than she did when she met his family. Jake has a loud…different personality.
Jacob waggles his eyebrows. "Barely, I bet…lucky dog" He laughs. "Well, bring her with, we need to catch up"
"Fine, you still coming to the benefit this weekend?"
"Yeah I bought three tickets" Jacob mutters shaking his head. "I'm bringing a girl I met last week, and the other ticket was just a sort of donation"
"Wow, great" Edward says. "Thanks"
"Good cause, support you anytime" Jacob sort of salutes him. Jacob heads off to finish his small trip.
Bella turns against his body.
"We can stay in if you want" He looks at her and says softly. Edward watches her shake her head. "No?"
"We need to keep up appearances, we should go" Bella tells his, his arms are around her waist holding her against him. Using both hands she pushes away from him and grips the cart.
Edward frowns watching him start to walk off. "Hey, you okay?" Edward calls after her.
Bella looks over her shoulder. "Yeah" She smiles. "Come on"
Standing at the checkout Edward watches as the cashier puts the last item through.
"That'll be 245.34"
Edward hands over his card without even blinking.
"I'll pay you back" Bella leans over to him and whispers.
"Don't do that" Edward says disagreeing. He shakes his head.
"Thank you" She whispers.
"How about we cook something, then go out and meet Jake for drinks after?" Edward finally says when they get the grocery bags into the kitchen.
Bella starts to unpack and nods. "Beef stir fry?" She suggests. She laughs when Edward smiles with a childish nod.
"That looks good" She comments on his efforts to cut up a red pepper.
"It looks like shit" He says. "I am a surgeon, a doctor, I should be better at cutting"
"You really should" Bella agrees dumping her sliced mushrooms into the large pan.
Edward wraps an arm around her waist and lifts her against his. Her back to the side of his chest.
"Edward!" She squeals.
"Say you're sorry" He whispers into the side of her face, into her ear.
"I'm sorry" She breathes out. She is rested on her feet and now turns to face him. Her tiny hand hits his stomach. "Jerk"
Edward winks. She is so fun, and light and happy. Sexy, smart…he doesn't know what he is doing. He stares down at her for a moment. "I want to stay in"
"Okay" She says softly. Her eyes once again stare at his mouth.
"So you don't dance?" Edward questions.
"I'm not a stripper" Bella says.
"I didn't mean that" He says roughly.
"I know, um" Bella shakes her head. "I'm no good at dancing"
"There is dancing on Saturday you know"
"Is this a ball?"
Edward laughs. "Pretty much, and then next week Wednesday I have off, the night, and we are going to my parents big Halloween Masquerade Ball, that isn't a ball either, just the posh name they give it"
Bella laughs nodding as she eats a green bean. "Sounds fun"
"Oh it is all the talk"
Rolling her eyes she then flutters them. "Will we be in the high society pages of Seattle?"
"It's a good possibility" Edward grins.
"You're joking"
"I'm not"
"Oh my" She widens her eyes.
"There is dancing at that as well, we get to have a dance card and everything"
"What!?"
He laughs. "It is fun, trust me, Aro my boss who you will meet Saturday, will be there also"
"Ahh, so we are working it hard Saturday and Wednesday?"
"Yes" He watches her as she nods.
"Sounds good, need to get you that job" She smiles.
Edward watches her. "Tell me about your father"
"Edward, please" She whispers.
"I'm not asking to meet him…is he alive?" Edward whispers, not sure after what she said about her mother.
"Yes" Bella has lost her appetite. "Yes he is"
"Tell me then"
Bella looks at him. "Um, after my mother died, our family was destroyed, I guess even more because it was never The Cullen's" Bella explains. "Both tried, out of the two he was more interested in me, but he was deeply in love with my mother, so when she died his interest kind of went away with her" Bella shrugs. It was odd, it is hard to explain. He lost interest in everything. She was kind of left alone. So the bitterness grew, then when he showed her interest again when she was doing what she wanted, she didn't care what he thought. Things were said, words spoken that can't be taken back. That was it.
Edward watches her. "So you lost both your mother and father at age 10?"
"Pretty much" She nods.
"What does he do?"
"I don't know, I don't want to talk about it"
"Did you leave home at 16 because of the lack of connection between you and your father?"
"We had a fight, I left, never went back"
Edward watches her; she holds a lot of pain. "Do you wish you could fix things?"
"It is too late, I'm too…" She shrugs. "I'm this, if he didn't care much about me before, I'm trash now, there is no fixing it"
He swallows; his chest feels tight hearing her speak like that. "You are not trash Bella"
She laughs and shakes her head. "I'm just used up and" She sighs. "Look" Bella runs a shaky hand through her hair. "I'm tired, do you mind if we call it a night?"
He turns his head and looks toward the stove, it reads 9pm. "Sure, I'll cleanup"
Bella crawls into the warm bed, the sweet smelling bed. She turns her back into the pillow and cries softly. She hates when she dwells. Hates it. Thinking about the lack of relationship between her and her father, well it kills her. She can't do a damn thing about it. Who would want her as a daughter, a common whore? Who would want her as anything? Licking her lips she sighs shutting her eyes.
Edward rests his forehead against the door. He is about to knock or go in. Her soft cries make his heart break. But he resists and turns going to finish the kitchen.
Wednesday 24th October 2012
Bella had a wonderful time with Edward's mother, sister and sister-in-law. They are so different from her. But the three women are more than welcoming. She could easily get used to hanging out with them.
Esme has money that is very clear. She lives the life that any woman would or could dream of. Alice is so stylish like her mother and Rose, she is simply beautiful.
When Bella answered the door in jeans and a sweater from the GAP she naturally felt under dressed, when she slipped on her converse she felt out of place. It didn't last long; Esme mothered her, with her light touch on her cheek, the warm smile she would give. The light jokes. She is a mother, a wonderful one. Edward was right.
She found a dress. Apparently Edward told Esme not to let her pay for it. She is planning a talk with him later tonight.
Alice insisted she buy some racy underwear and bras for Edward, but she doesn't want to know anything.
Rose, well she said 'Makeup, make up is needed but not a lot you are naturally beautiful Bella'
And she came home with a dress, shoes, makeup and naughty/nice underwear for Edward.
Tanya crosses her legs as she sits across from him at the lunch table. She has a green apple in her palm.
"Dr. Denali" Edward looks up from the journal he is reading, just to get ahead with medical research.
"Dr. Cullen" She smirks.
"Don't do that" Edward laughs. They were rather naughty with each other while they dated. Even though it ended it ended mainly due to their schedules and the fact that he was 'busy'. She wanted it to work more than he did. He wanted to get ahead more than he wanted a relationship. This is why Bella is perfect. She knows the deal, she doesn't expect anything. Unfortunately he feels like he is starting to expect things from her.
"What is going on in that pretty head of yours Dr. Cullen?"
"Stop" Edward shakes his head.
Tanya arches her eyebrows. "I'm looking forward to Saturday, Wednesday for that matter; I saved you a place on my dance card"
"I am seeing someone" Edward informs her again. He has no interest in reconnecting his relationship with her. She is fucking sexy and smart, but it would never work. He can't see them ever working.
"So you can't dance?"
"I can dance"
"You do have moves" She winks.
Edward smiles.
"Did you make all this?" Esme questions, sticking a baby carrot into her mouth.
"Yes"
"It is all amazing"
"I'm glad you like it" Bella smiles.
"The chicken is wonderful" Rose chimes.
Bella smiles, she blushes a bit.
"So should we come over at 4 or 5 Saturday?" Alice questions.
"For?"
"To get dressed together silly" Alice laughs.
Bella looks confused. "Why?"
"You know, girlfriends do it, hair, makeup together"
"I will not be in attendance" Esme points out. "I'll just meet you all there"
"Where will Edward be?"
"Oh he will just be waiting in the living room" Alice shrugs.
"Em, and Jasper will come over when they are ready, they will have a drink while we finish up"
"Oh" Bella nods.
"Didn't you do that at your prom" Alice smiles.
Bella shakes her head. "No"
"Oh" Alice's face falls. "Well we need to make up for lost time" She gives Bella a wink.
Edward walks into his home at 11:45pm. He is so looking forward to Saturday night off and Sunday all day. Then Wednesday night off as well. He is running himself ragged. He looks around the living room.
"Hey" Bella whispers sitting up from the couch and looking at him standing.
"Hi" Edward looks at her. He smiles as she pushes the hair from her face and yawns. "You don't have to wait up for me Bella"
"It's fine" She swings her legs over the side. "Do you want me to fix you a sandwich?"
"No" He shakes his head. "I had a late lunch"
"Oh, okay" She stands.
He so wants to kiss her.
"Are you tired?" She questions.
"No, are you?" Edward cocks an eyebrow up at her. He watches her smile and shakes her head. His fingers are dying to run through her long dark hair.
"I have something to show you" She informs him.
"What?" Edward smiles waiting. "Did you get a dress first?"
"Hmm, you can't see it though" She tells him. "Go to your room, and I'll join you in a second" She nods a bit hoping he agrees.
"Okay" Edward eyes her with a smirk.
"Shoo"
"I'm going, I'm going"
Bella laughs him off.
Edward sits on the bed of his bed waiting. He rubs his hands together as he sits in his boxer briefs waiting for his little beauty.
Bella pushes the door open and stand in the doorway. She waits for him to look up.
When he sees her he almost faints. His eyes widen. "Bella…?"
"It's too much, it is" She shakes her head feeling silly now. She doesn't know why she did it, why she thinks she needs to do this to, for. She is confused. It is not like he is her boyfriend. She doesn't need to do this for him.
"You look, amazing" His eyes run over her, she is still standing in the doorway. "Come here" He doesn't think he could walk if he wanted too.
Slowly she walks barefoot over to him. Standing before him, she looks down while he looks up. "I, Alice said I should get some sexy underwear for you"
"You don't need sexy underwear, but I do appreciate it" He runs over her body again. It is perfect.
Bella smiles a bit. "I needed a few things for the dress, I'll pay you back"
"Shut up" He mutters, his hands lift but they don't touch her, they just ghost up her sides. He looks up at her. "You are so beautiful" He whispers.
Bella shuts her eyes, and lets his words repeat over in her head.
Edward pushes up and kisses her throat. "Sexy, beautiful" He peppers kisses down until he is sitting again.
Bella shivers slightly.
Laughing he watches her now nude body sits on top of his. He feels her wetness on his stomach, and he glories in it. "I loved it, but it had to go"
"I understand" She laughs.
Edward rubs with two hands over her belly. "What did you eat today?" He laughs poking her tiny, very tiny tummy.
"Shut it" She swats his hands away.
Edward laughs before reaching down; he gets serious and strokes her wet lips, his fingers slide into her. "You're ready aren't you?"
Bella stares up at him and nods her head.
"Touch your breasts" He demands softly.
Bella looks at him. Happily she cups her breasts and runs her thumbs over her nipples.
His hands push hers out of the way. "Can I be on top?" He questions tugging her nipples lightly. She thrusts her hips down and nods.
"Anything, anything" She whispers. "Anything you want" She is putty in his hands. He can have whatever he wants.
Edward takes her and rolls them over settling her underneath him. "Hi" He smiles.
Bella laughs a bit, her eyelids heavy from a busy day and heavy from cloudy pleasure she is waiting for.
"Is it always like this for you?" He wonders aloud, not wanting to ruin the mood between them right now. He wonders if she is this good an actress. His hand slides between them and he finds her wet opening. Edward slides two fingers inside of her and smiles when she sucks a breath.
"No, never" She swallows tightly and arches her back as his fingers pump slowly in and out of her.
"Can we go slow tonight?"
Bella stares at him. "Anything you want" She is here for him, paid by him. Whatever he wants or needs. She needs to remember that, they both need to.
"No" He brushes his nose with hers. He is pleased she doesn't tense thinking he will steal her kiss away. "What you want also"
"I want to go slow" She whispers.
Edward kisses her forehead and eyelids when they flutter shut.
His hands hold her around her back, under her back, keeping her chest against his as he thrusts and pumps slowly and smoothly into her. He isn't sure she will be able to cum like this.
"Oh god" She whimpers, her thighs tighten around his middle. He has been thrusting languidly into her for what seems like sweet hours. She is so tired, but not sore. It feels amazing, it feels different. His lips kiss and suck her neck and shoulders. While her fingers run up and down the back of his head.
"You okay?" He whispers into her face. Edward watches her nod. "Do you want me to make you cum?" He can cum whenever, he has been holding off for her.
"I can, like this" She barely gets out arching closer to him, she hasn't before but she feels something now. His elbows are pressed under her as he holds her up close to him. His knees are pressing into the bed between her spread thighs. She feels him hitting her where she needs to be hit. He doesn't know, but it is building. It is a perfectly slow build.
"Okay" He breathes out as he continues his strokes. He sucks her throat.
"J-just don't, don't stop" She contracts her muscles as she feels it coming. She feels herself cumming.
"I won't" He whispers.
Bella lies under him not doing much other than breathing and feeling. Feeling the passion he has creating, the burning in her belly. Her back arches away from him as she screws her eyes tightly. Her mouth opens slightly, and a silent scream is released.
He would love to cover her mouth with his at this moment. She is stunning, she is sexy, and she is beautiful. Edward doesn't stop moving until he feels her finish, until she is no longer clenching around him like a vice.
Bella drops her heavy body against the soft bed. She is sweating, her back his moist, her hair is sticking to her, sticking to Edwards arms as he still has her around her body. Her thighs are sticking to his hips. She is just completely wet like a heavy fog.
Edward waits for her to come back to earth. He didn't cum.
"You didn't" She whispers, she moves her head and tucks it under his throat. He deserves a medal for that. She will do anything to give him that feeling. It was amazing, this orgasm from just missionary sex. He is skilled. She shivers still lying under him. This weight doesn't feel heavy or crushing, it feels warm. It feels right.
"That was all for you" He whispers swallowing.
Bella stares at him, un-tucking her head she waits for him. "No Edward, keep going" She whispers lifting her weak hips up as he is still hard inside of her.
"That was yours Bella" He wants, he wanted to give this to her. She spent years and years just doing this, giving it to men, so many men he imagines he wanted to give her this without her having to give him anything.
Bella sighs, she looks away. "You are so stupid" She whispers. "Don't do this" She says.
Edward looks down at her. "It was yours" He tells her simply.
Bella uses both hands and pushes him. He moves easily. She loves that, she loves he isn't crushing.
He lets her go because he knows she won't stay. There is nothing more he wants right now than for her to stay, for them to finish this…romantic night together. He feels like their sex is unfinished when she leaves. Edward lies on his back and watches her stumble out of bed. She gathers her throw lingerie in her arms. He is hard as rock still watching her bending over to get her things.
Bella holds her things o her chest. She looks over her shoulder.
"Tell me a secret" He whispers hoarsely.
"You are ruining me for other men" She answers leaving the room.
I didn't want to give it all away. About Bella I mean. But you will find out…lord knows when *ugh* but you will.
I hope you get what happened between him and Tanya. I feel like I am over explaining it causing it to be confusing…
Anyway moving on:
Saturday – Benefit next (I kinda think that whole chapter will be the benefit)
On a side note can someone PM me about what it means when you reach your 50 limit and have to convert doc into stories...please?
