Chapter Eight
Baseball and Passion
Edward's Pov
It has been three days since Bella has seen Charlie. The first day since then,she wasn't taking it very well. She would just stare out the window and isolate herself from the rest of the family. Even Rosalie,the Queen of the ice burg,was even worried for her.
But as the next day approached,Bella became aware that what happened was for the best. Carlisle told Charlie. I heard the conversation between the two of them in Carlisle's mind. Charlie didn't believe Carlisle and wanted proof.....
So I took Bella out to the woods and made false pictures of her death. Alice knew she would need Bella's old clothes,so she kept them in a box in her closet. Bella didn't have to do much to look dead. All she had to do is stay still on the ground while I took pictures of her from different angles.
Carlisle went to Charlie's home and handed him the proof of Bella's 'death'. Charlie simply stared at the pictures in shock. I could just imagine what he was thinking. Seeing this angel lying down on the ground,motionless. Its unbelievable. But now Charlie wouldn't search for Bella. She was safe as was he.
Bella,once she found out how he took the information,didn't freak out as was expected. All she did was silently walk up to my room and began reading one of the books I had bought her from Seattle.
Bella is now a lot better since then. She's acting as if nothing ever happened. I was wondering when she would want to talk about this whole thing about Charlie,but she never brought it up.
"Edward,Esme wanted to see us downstairs." Bella came in and placed a small box on the bed.
"What in Gods' name is that?" I pointed to the box,that made my couch sink slightly. She just laughed lightly. It sounded like tinkling bells on a wind chime.
We locked eyes before we both said the name of the shopping pixie herself. "Alice." Bella opened the box and started to pull out some more clothes. They were all very lovely. They looked like they were state of the art and was even from different countries.
"She said I needed more clothes. I tried to tell her that if I have anymore,you won't have a place to put your things and Ill drown in fabrics." She put her defecate hands on her hips and sighed. "Come on,Esme wants to see us." She took hold of my hand and helped me off the couch. Before she could walk off towards the stairs,I pulled her close to my body.
The softness of her flesh beneath me was like a drug. She stared up into my eyes and if it was possible to be a breathless vampire,I was there. I devoured her plump lips in a matter of seconds. I couldn't help myself. It has been a while since I was able to kiss her like this.
She melted into my kiss,just when my tongue wanted access of her sweet taste. She complied and gave my tongue entrance. Mine and her tongue danced for a few good moments,fighting for dominance,before Emmett walked in and started to laugh. How to kill a mood in five minutes. Thats his headline.
"Wow....Sorry,man. Jeez....I should have knocked."Emmett smacked himself in the head and started to burst out laughing. I looked down at Bella,who looked like she could die from embarrassment.
I wrapped my arm around her waist and glared at my 'big' brother. "What do you want,Emmett? We were a little busy."
"Yeah,I can see that." He snickered. "Anyways,Esme told me to come and get you. She said it was taking Bella too long....And I can see why." He smirked and walked down the hall.
I sighed in aggravation. "Lets go before any other of my siblings come up here." I kissed her cheek.
"Okay....I was kinda looking forward to what was going to happen next,too."She shrugged and walked off after Emmett. I stood there with my mouth half open. This girl was going to be the death of me,I swear.
Bella's Pov
Did I just say that....Out loud?!
I couldn't look back to see his face. I wanted to laugh so hard at that moment. Emmett had to ruin the mood by barging in. When Edward kissed me,it was like I was in my own world. Like nothing could wake me up from this magnificent dream.
I was half way down the stairs,when Edward wound his arm securely around my waist. This was a natural thing now. Whenever we walk side by side,he had to be touching me in some way. It was usually either hand holding,or with his arm around my shoulders or waist. I didn't object to any of his actions. I wanted to touch him too. I wanted to touch him all over....
As we neared the kitchen,I heard Rosalie and Emmett talking....Or arguing."Emmett,I told you that you can't do that this time! You did it last time and you nearly knocked Alice out with it!" Rosalie was really beautiful,but she can sometimes show her ugly side.
"Rose,it was an accident. I didn't mean to do that curve ball!" Emmett groaned and wrapped his arms around Rosalie. "Alright,how about I don;t do the curve ball...But I can do the Emmett shuffle!" He was grinning ear to ear.
I looked up at Edward with confusion. "What are they talking about?" I asked in a whisper.
Edward responded by a chuckling laugh. "Baseball." We walked into the kitchen and stood by the wall by the sliding glass door,leading to outside. "So we're going out for a baseball game,I see."
Out of nowhere,Alice appeared next to me. "Yes! I can't wait!" She then looked over at Emmett,who was nibbling on Rosalie's ear. "And you're not pitching this time,Mr. Try and knock your sister out." She crossed her arms.
"What? It was an accident and you know it." Emmett rolled his eyes. I couldn't help but laugh at their nature. Alice barely looked mad,ever. And Emmett turned out to be a big brother that I never had. He reminded me of a big teddy bear in some ways.
"Well I'm pitching this time. Any objections?" Alice glanced around the room,before her eyes landed on mine. "Oh! I almost forgot this is your first game with us."
Edward rubbed my arm,soothingly. "Don't worry. I think she'll get the hang of it." He kissed the top of my head,and I swore if he wasn't holding me still...I would have swooned.
"You guys play baseball?" My question was a little pointless since they were all talking about baseball. But it didn't hurt to ask a simple question.
Alice giggled next to me like a little butterfly high off of nectar. "Of course,Bella. I had a vision that it was going to be a thunderstorm. So I suggested a game of baseball."
Esme handed me a baseball cap. "Here you go dear." I took it and examined it. It was a white hat with blue stripes going horizontal.
Edward looked at Esme and asked, "Will Carlisle be joining us today?"
I watched as Alice and Jasper headed up the stairs. "Yes,I just got off the phone with him. He said he will meet us there." Esme took my hand. "Bella,dear,if you would like you can be referee with me. I'm the only one who knows how to call a clean game."
I hesitated before answering. "Oh,well...Yes,that would be nice." I really didn't know what to say to her question. It wasn't something I would have expected to be asked. Sports were never really my forte.
"Wonderful. We will be leaving in an hour." Esme locked eyes with Edward,before disappearing in the living room.
I closed my eyes and took a deep unneeded breath. With my eyes closed,I felt my feet lift off the ground and arms were under me. When I opened them,I was laying on Edward's couch. I laughed and sat up with my arm on the back of the couch. "So,you like baseball,then?"
"Its a family thing." Edward was over by his CD player stereo. He scanned his CD collection,which must have been every CD ever made on Earth,and placed a disk inside. Debussy started to play.
"Why do you need it to be storming outside in order to play a ball game?" I propped my chin into my palm and watch him rummage through his closet. He grabbed a baseball jersey and turned to me.
"You'll see. Here,put this one." He handed me the shirt. "That way,you feel like a team player." He laughed and grabbed another jersey.
I held the shirt up to me. It matched the baseball cap perfectly."How many do you have of these?" I turned it around and spotted the word,'Cullen' written on the back in nice,perfect cursive.
Edward took off the black button down shirt,and threw the jersey on in replacement. Oh,what I wouldn't give for him to keep his bare chest...bare! "Quite a few,love." He kissed my cheek. "Ill let you have your privacy so you can change." He shut the door behind him,and I saw his shadow linger outside in the hall.
Always the gentlemen. He's sweet. I took off my white tank top and slipped on the jersey. It was a little big on me,but very comfortable. I slipped out of the black skirt,Alice had made me wore for the day,and put on a pair of blue jeans. Now I was comfortable with what I was wearing. Alice had been dressing me all week!
I looked into the mirror and smiled at my reflection. Now that I wasn't wearing designer clothes,I looked somewhat like my normal self. The old Bella Swan.
"You can come in now,Edward."I called through the door. Edward walked in with a smug smile on his face.
"Now thats something every man would like to see. His girlfriend wearing one of his shirts." He wrapped his arms around me and buried his face in the crook of my neck. "You look so beautiful."
"You shouldn't be talking." I hugged him tightly. We stared at each other for a few minutes in silence. Just embracing the quiet and how wonderful things are now.
Of course,something had to ruin the silence. Alice burst herself into the room and threw her arms up into the air like a crazy doll. "Come on you two! Carlisle is going to beat us if we don't hurry!" She grabbed my hand and started to drag me down the hallway. I heard Edward laughing behind us as we walked.
Edward's Pov
Seeing her being dragged off made me think of something so obvious. She belonged here. And no,seeing her in my shirt did not make that snap into my head. It was as viable as the visions Alice predicts.
I slowly followed after my love and my sister,when Emmett wrapped his arm around my shoulder. "If you weren't with Rose,I would say this looked gay." I stated and Emmett quickly retracted his arm.
"Sorry,man." He laughed. "So how are things with Bella?" Was he seriously asking me this? None of my siblings have asked me that question yet. Not even Carlisle or Esme!
"Things are going good,I suppose. She's adjusting. She'll be right at home in no time." Images of Bella laughing formed in my mind,and I couldn't help my little smile. I wanted her to be with me at all times.
Dude,you really are a love sick puppy. Emmett thought. My head snapped to him and I stopped walking. Crap,did he hear me?!
"No Emmett,I didn't hear you. I am fully unaware that I have mind reading abilities." I gave him a look that said,'you need help'. "Oh,and the pot calling the kettle black! You say I'm love sick,your the one who I hear every night with Rosalie."
"Well at least I get some." He smirked. If he wasn't my brother,I would have punched him. "So have you and Bella...."
"No." I bluntly stated. "I'm not going to force her into anything."
"Well do you at least know if she's still a virgin?" Emmett's question made my eyes bulge out. Was he serious?!
"Emmett!" I smacked my face with my own hand. "That is none of your business,now march before I tell Rose that your thinking about Bella."
"You know that will only cause more problems between her and Bella." He smirked.
"Yes,but you won't have sex for two weeks." I had him there. His mouth closed tightly and he stalked off. I laughed and continued my walk down the hall and down the stairs.
Bella was cornered. Alice had her pressed up against the wall,talking about the upcoming shopping spree in Seattle. When Bella and I locked eyes,she gave me a pleading look of help.
"Alright Alice,I think Bella will die if you keep pestering her like that." I stood next to Alice,who pouted.
"Thats not funny Edward. I was just saying she should give shopping a shot. It won't hurt."
Bella scoffed. "Yeah it will!" Bella then clung onto me for dear life.
"Fine,but I will get you to go shopping with me one day."Alice winked at her before skipping off towards Jasper,who was holding the metal baseball bats.
Bella leaned up close to my ear and whispered, "My hero. Ill reward you later on." She kiss right below my ear before taking me by the hand.
"Wouldn't have it any other way. Now lets go. I have a feeling we will have to race them." I picked her up and flung her onto my back. She wrapped her arms and legs around me,securely.
"Edward,I can run you know. I'm not human." She placed her chin on my shoulder.
"I know,but I like it this way. I get to touch you and look innocent of it." I rubbed her thigh with my hand and felt her shiver. I laughed and ran out of the house,with the spider monkey on my back. (Yes,I am using puns from the movie. Lol)
It only took a few minutes to get to the field where we usually played baseball. Last time,Emmett was pitching and threw the ball too hard at Alice,who was batting. It hit her across the head so hard,she literally was knocked out. Its hard to knock out a vampires,since they're awake at all times. Of course, if its said that its impossible,Emmett can do it.
We reached the field before the others. I set Bella down and she took a glimpse around the field. Jasper and Emmett have already formed the bases with small plates the stole back in the 1950s.
"Alice,please?!" Emmett's voice was heard from behind us. Alice was throwing the ball up and down in her little customized baseball glove.
"No. Today,I pitch. Maybe in the last inning you can pitch...If I feel like letting you." She giggled. "Bella!" She squealed and ran over to us. "Esme and you will be sitting over here."She took Bella's hand and dragged her over to the side of the baseball field,where Esme was placing a picnic blanket on the ground.
This was going to be an interesting game.
Bella's Pov
Esme looked up from her spot on the ground and patted the spot next to her. "Sit down,dear." I sat down and crossed my legs,underneath me. "Now,what I want you to do,dear,is to try and find a cheater." She gave my shoulder a light squeeze.
"How do I know who's cheating?" I felt like an idiot. I use to watch baseball with Charlie when I was human,but is vampire baseball any different?
Esme laughed. "Alright,how about you watch out for Emmett and Edward then. They love to cheat each other out." Edward,a cheater? No way! That must be amusing to think about. Especially when Edward was a gentlemen. Or was that an act? Hmmmm....
Esme stood up and took a long sigh. "Batter up!" She yelled. It was Jasper at the bat. Alice twirled the ball in her hand and smiled at her lover. Alice wound her arm before pitching it towards Jasper. Jasper gripped the bat,pulled it back,and flung it forward.
If I was still human,I wouldn't have been able to catch what had happened next. The bat hit the ball with a loud, "SNAP!" and flew across the sky. My mouth fell open at how fast everything was. It was a movie at hyper speed.
Edward looked up at the ball and glanced at Emmett. They locked eyes before running after the ball at inhuman speed. Emmett tried to jump up into the air,but Edward knocked him out of the way with a friendly push of the shoulder,and kicking off a tree to reach the ball. Edward caught it and threw it to Rosalie,who caught it and tagged Jasper out.
"Wow..."Was all I managed to say. I tilted my head and looked at Esme. "Why did Edward push Emmett,when they're even on the same team?"
Esme laughed musically. "Its something they've always done. Edward and Emmett are very competitive over little things. Edward wanted to get the ball first,so..."She shrugged. "There you have it. Brotherly love."
The game went on like that for a few hours. Carlisle had joined after the first inning and he made sure everything was fair. Emmett cheated twice,while Edward cheated once. I caught Edward cheat and when I called it out,Edward gave me a mischievous smile like he was going to get payback.
A few more hours passed until we called it a night. Surprisingly Edward's team didn't win. Jasper's team one with two points ahead. "If you and Emmett didn't cheat,maybe you would have won."I pointed out to Edward. When we got to his room.
"Well if you didn't call it out,I doubt we would have gotten caught." He kissed my shoulder. "Esme didn't see a thing and you had to ruin the fun." He sighed and sat down on the bed. I sat on his lap and wrapped my arms around his neck,embracing the love I had for this man.
"I still have to reward you from earlier." I smirked.
"Bella,I have to ask you something personal." He rubbed my back and seemed to try and find his words. "Are you still...Uh....A er...."
"Virgin?" I guessed and he nodded. "Yes. Why do you ask?"
"I was just thinking,thats all love." He kissed me passionately but softly. His kiss soon intensified as time passed. I felt heat start to form between my legs.
"Edward...."I breathed. "I want you..." I kissed down his jaw line to his neck. He picked me up and laid me down on the couch. He slowly started to unbutton the baseball jersey I was wearing,until I was fully uncovered from the waist up. All I had on was a black bra. He slowly unclasped it until I was bare.
"You are beautiful." He whispered as he started kissing below my ear. He trailed his kisses all the way down to the hollow of my neck. He stayed there a while, licking, before he continued his way down.
He stuck his tongue out and licked down the center of my breasts. He came back up and captured the erect peak of my left breast in his mouth. I moaned in pleasure and arch my back up into him.
When he was done, he continued to lick and kiss down to my stomach. Then, he brought his tongue to my pants. He slowly,and painfully unbuttoned my jeans and slid them off my hips. He smiled at my silky,midnight blue panties. "Blue looks wonderful on you,love." He chuckled and started to massage my center with the base of his hand. I couldn't hold back a moan.
My hands trembled as I undid his own shirt and threw it across the room. I wanted this man to be my first. I trailed my hand over his chest. He caught my hand and brought it up to his lips,and softly kissed my palm.
I sat up and unbuttoned his jeans,sliding them down until he was only in red boxers. "Ah,so you do wear boxers." I laughed and kissed his chest.
"Its better the tighty whiteys." He captured my mouth with his and we continued our tongue dance.
He kicked off his boxers and let his member free. He kissed down my stomach until he came to my underwear. He eased them off my hips and placed them on the floor. God damn he was being so slow!
"Are you ready love?" He asked me in a husky voice. I nodded in response,not daring to trust my voice at that moment.
He positioned himself to my entrance,and slowly entered. I was waiting for the pain,but it never came. Instead there was pleasure. Then it donged on me. I was a vampire. Pain is only skin deep now. He stared at my face,waiting for approval.
"Go,please..."I pleaded. He kissed my neck and started off in a slow and steady pace. It felt so good. I didn't want to stop. A feeling started to form in my lower area and my breathing started to go ragged. "Edward..."I moaned.
"I know,Bella..."He breathed as he trusted in me a little faster. After a few more thrusts,I swore I saw stars. We rode out my orgasm,until he too came. We stayed connected for a few more minutes,until he slowly pulled out of me. A small smile spread across my face at the sight of my God.
His skin was glowing from the moonlight that was shining through the window. He pulled the sheet up to us as he held me tightly to his naked body. "I love you,Bella."He whispered in my ear.
I looked up at him and kissed his sweet and tender lips. "I know. And I love you."
I hope you liked this chapter. This has yet been my longest chapter so far! This is my first time doing a lemon scene...I think it wa sa little cheesy,but oh wells.
