I couldn't sleep for even a second on the plane to Iran, I was too nervous. I needed to see Edward like he needed to see me.
"Can I get you something Miss?" my thoughts were disturbed by a stewardess "Can you make the captain go faster?" I mumbled. "Excuse me?" was her immediate response "Nothing. Can I have a coke?" "Sure" she answered confused. After giving me a coke she left me again alone with my thoughts.
'Hold it together Bella, just hold it together for him' I thought. After a too long flight I finally got to Iran and got a taxi right away. It was already evening in Iran so it could be that Edward was already sleeping or maybe that is what I wanted to believe.
Now if you ask me why all of sudden I'm going to Iran instead of being with my parents? Well I had spent a week with my parents –a very nice week actually- when suddenly I get a call from Alice. She told me that Edward had gone back to Iran. I was a bit mad at him for leaving me alone here, but Alice told me that it was because of Emily.
Emily had again left him for her husband. He got so mad that he decided to leave without telling anybody. So when I got the news I told my parents that they needed me in Iran and only three hours after her phone call I was sitting on plane headed to Iran.
When I finally got there I was hit by a strange sight. Edward, Kate and Garret were sitting outside with a table in front of them that included food and alcohol, lots of alcohol. Kate was sitting on Garret's lap and Edward with his head in his hands.
I sighed and walked to them. Kate and Garret were shocked to see me. I stopped them before they could greet me. They nodded and went inside. "A penny for your thoughts?" I asked softly as I stood in front of him. Edward looked slowly up with a confused expression.
As he realized that I was really standing in front of him his expression changed, I couldn't read him any longer. "You shouldn't be here Bella" he said flatly as he took another sip of his bottle. "But I am" I answered and took the bottle out of his hands.
"Why? So you can leave me for someone else and torture me even more" he said harshly. His words should have hurt me, but they didn't because I knew he didn't mean them, at least that is what I believed.
I took his hands in mine and kissed them one by one. "I'm here Edward, and I'm not leaving even if you throw me away, I will always come back" "Bella" he breathed out.
"I'm here, sssh, I'm here" I said and wrapped my arms around him. "Bella I'm sorry, please, I'm sorry" he pleaded and tightened his hold on me. "It's ok Edward. Stop apologizing, please" this time it was me who was pleading.
After a while I took him to his room and put him in his bed "Sleep with me" he whispered. "Of course. I'm just going to put my bags inside and then I'm coming" I told him and gave a kiss on his cheek. "Please hurry" I nodded at his plead and left his room.
"We tried to talk to him but all he said was Bella. I wanted to call you but your phone was off" Garret said when he saw me. "It's okay Garret. He's fine, I talked to him." I assured him. "If there's anything we can do, please let us now" this time it was Kate that was trying to help.
"That's very sweet Kate, thank you. I'm going to get my bags and then I'm going back to Edward." I said to them and was about to walk outside when Garret stopped me. "I already put them in front of your room. I knew Edward needed you so..." "Thanks Garret, that's really sweet of you" I said with a smile.
"Aah it's nothing. Now you better get back to him, we'll see you in the morning" he answered with a smile. I nodded and walked back to Edwards room. "Bella?" As soon as I opened his door I heard him asking for me.
"I'm here now" I answered softly and went to lie next to him. Edward immediately took me in his arms and I put my arms around his waist. "I want to hate her for doing this to me, but I can't. She was my best friend for years. " he told me in pain.
"Don't hate her. Forget the person she became and remember the good times you had with her. Only think about the girl who was your best friend, not about the one who betrayed you. Just think that you had to come to Iran and you had to leave your best friend behind. Forget what she did to you" I told him with determination because that's what I did during college.
Edward tightened his hold on me "I don't want to Bella. Only you and me now love, no one else. Screw them, screw her. She's not worth my thoughts-" I cut him off before he would say something he would regret "Edward don't say those things. You're mad at the moment, you don't mean them."
"I do Bella. I'm done with her. This is the last time she will be ever mentioned. Only you and me, love...you and me" the way he said those words I couldn't but believe him. "You and me, Edward" I kissed his chest and smiled. We fell asleep in each other's arms and it was definitely the best sleep I had in days.
Being with Edward definitely changed me. Because of him I saw my parents again, because of him I got to feel love again, or maybe I was feeling it for the first time, because the feelings I had for him were feelings I never felt before.
I was still asleep when Edward started planting kisses on my neck. His mouth on my neck? Perfection. Before I realized it a moan escaped my mouth "Good morning, love" his velvet voice said.
"It sure is now" I answered and opened my eyes just to be met by the beautiful sight of the man of my dreams. "We are in Iran" he grinned. I raised an eyebrow as to say 'isn't that obvious', but before those words could leave my mouth Edward started talking. "It's just weird, a couple days ago we were in Washington, you in Seattle, me in Forks and now we are back here, together."
"Is that a bad thing?" I asked him unsure. "Love, this is anything but bad" Edward said with a big smile on that beautiful face of his. "So it's...?" "Amazing. Fantastic. Super. Absolutely great!" he declared. "Now that was what I need to hear." I answered with a smile of my own.
"But it would be greater if I got this" he smirked and before I could ask what he was talking about I felt his lips on mine, and that's the moment I realized how much I had missed it. I responded by kissing him passionately. "Edward" I moaned when his lips left mine and found there place on my neck. "You have no idea how much I missed this, love" he groaned and sucked harder on the spot behind my ear.
But before we could go any further there was a knock on the door, we both groaned in frustration. "Breakfast is ready!" Kate yelled. "We're coming" I yelled back. "First a car, now a doctor. What is the next thing that will disturb us?" Edward grimaced thinking of our first time in Forks when we were kissing and several cars passed causing us to stop. "They are leaving in a couple days and then this place is all ours, and I'm all yours" I said as I played with his hair. He suddenly pulled me on his lap and looked at me with hungry eyes, and I'm not talking about food.
"All mine" he breathed out and kissed me. After some very hot making out session it really hurt me to pull away "Breakfast...Kate and Garret...Ooh Edward" he couldn't pull away which caused me to moan, which caused him to suck even harder on my neck. When I suddenly jumped from his lap, he looked very surprised at me "What? Someone has to put a stop to this...for now" I added the last part with a smirk.
"I am definitely not done with you Miss Swan" he said with a devilish grin and stood up. "I was hoping you weren't" I answered. "Bella please go" Edward looked like he was really holding back when he said that. "What? Why?" I asked confused and a bit hurt. "If you keep staying here, neither of us will be able to go downstairs" he said frustrated. I blushed and nodded in understanding "I will see you in a minute" I winked at him and then walked downstairs.
When I got to the living room I saw two bags at the door. "Guys, are those your bags?" I asked them as I took a place next to Kate. "Yep, we have a flight in three hours" Kate answered. "You're already leaving? Well that is fast" I mumbled the last part. "We wished to stay longer too, but they need us in Port Angeles" Garret said with a smile.
"That's too bad actually. I wish we had some more time together, I was just getting to know you guys." I told them honestly "Maybe you should take the Chief on his offer then?" Kate said.
"He told you about that?" they both nodded. "What offer?" I jumped when I heard Edwards voice. He chuckled and went to sit next to me "So, what is this offer thing about?" Edward asked again when I forgot to answer him because of the beautiful sight in front of me. "Oh yeah that" I said and looked away but not before I noticed the smirk on his face, and the smile on both Kate and Garrets face. Yes I was caught, "Well, the Chief wants me to come and work in his hospital with you guys." I explained to him.
"What do you want?" Edward asked me "I'm not sure. It would be nice to settle you know, but on the other hand I like it here, but I also know that I can't do this for the rest of my life." I answered
"If you want to go to Port Angeles then I'm also going with you. Without you Iran means nothing to me" Edward said as he took my hand in his. "I wasn't planning on going without you either" I replied with a wink. "You guys make such a cute couple" Kate smiled at us. I blushed and looked at my plate. "Kate you embarrassed her, she looks like a tomato" Garret joked. Kate slapped him slightly on the chest "Leave her Garret"
"You and my brother would be very good friends" Edward grinned at him. "You talking about Emmet?" Garret asked and Edward nodded confused "You're right, we are very good friends" Garret told him with a grin.
"But how? I mean you guys came after I left for Iran" Edward said still confused. "You're not the only Cullen at the hospital" "He's talking about McHottie, your dad" Kate added.
"McHottie?" I asked "Yes, that's what every female doctor, and nurses call him" Edward answered "Who knows what Emmet told you about me" he then said to Garret. "Nothing too bad. He misses you and he worries about you, but when I get back to Port Angeles I'll tell him that he doesn't have to worry anymore" Garret added the last part with a look at me and a smirk.
"No he doesn't" Edward answered and put an arm around me. "So, Edward what do they call you at the hospital?" I asked him. "You don't want to know" he groaned. I turned to Kate "Kate?" "Are you sure you want me to tell her McSexward...oops too late" Kate giggled as she looked at Edward.
"Sexward?" I asked confused. "It's my hair. They say that I have sexhair, so that's why they call me Sexward" Edward explained sounding very embarresed. "Aaaaah now I get it...McSexward" I laughed when I heard him groan.
After clearing the table we called a cab and went outside to wait for it. "Kate, Garret it was really great to meet you guys, and I hope that in the future we will all work together." I said as I gave them both a hug "I hope so too Bella, I believe we're going to be great friends!" Kate exhaled with a big smile. "I'm looking forward to see you again Bella and if you need something don't forget that from now one you can also call us" Garret said sounding like an older brother that I wished to have.
"Thanks Garret, we will" I answered "You too McSexward" Garret said as he turned to Edward who grimaced when he heard Garret calling him that "I will if you stop calling me that" Garret nodded with a big smile on his face. "Take care guys and say hi to everyone" Edward added with a smile as they took seat in the cab. After a last wave we walked inside.
"We are alone doctor Swan" Edward said with a mischievous smile, as soon as he said those words we heard someone else "Bella!" it was Angela. I opened the door and was immediately met by a pair of arms that hugged me. "You're back. Finally!" she declared. "Hello to you too Ang" I answered with a grin. "I'm also back, you know" I heard Edward say sarcastically.
"Hello Bella, and we missed you too Edward" she said with a big smile. The first thing I noticed when I looked at Angela was this glow, she looked different, happier but she also looked like she had gained weight. "Angela did you gain weight?" I blurted out. "Okay, that is definitely girl talk, I'm going to unpack my bags and then we're leaving to the hospital" Edward said and went upstairs.
"Well I'm pregnant" she said as if it wasn't obvious "Yeah true, but still it's a bit early, don't you think?" I asked "And you look very happy, ugh something is going. What is going on?". "Maybe I-" before she could start sounding mysterious I cut her off "Cut with crap, tell me what's going on" "I'm pregnant with twins Bella" Angela said with a big smile.
"Oh god Ang, this is amazing. Congratulations. Ben must be so happy!" I was so happy for them, and seeing Angela this good made me even happier. "He's very happy but also nervous. Ben thinks he's going to suck at being a dad, he was scared to have one baby and now we will have two." She told me with a sigh. "Ah no, Ben won't suck at being a dad, I'm absolutely sure that he will be a perfect daddy." "I will pay you if you come and say that to him" Angela said sounding very serious.
"You don't have to pay me. Oh I need to tell this to Edward. Edward?" I yelled his name and heard a door open, then a cry and then a curse "Motherf..." "What happened?" I asked as I went to stand in front of the stairs. "The stupid door hit my foot" he answered and both Angela and I giggled. "I'm sure it was the door" I answered still giggling. "Woman did you call me for this?" he joked.
"Oh right. Edward?" I asked again, "Yes Bella?" he answered very calmly "Angela is pregnant with twins!" I yelled. "Really? Owh! Owh! Owh!" Edward started crying again. I ran upstairs and saw him holding his knee. "I thought you hit your foot?" I asked. "The door hit my foot" he answered with a glare "and now the staircase hit my knee" he answered sulking.
"Oh poor baby, can't even walk without getting hurt" I pouted at him and he glared at me. "Bella everything ok?" Angela yelled still laughing. "Yup, Edward just got hit by the staircase this time. I think this house doesn't like him" I joked. Edward glared at me and started limping to his room. "Stupid house attacks me with no reason and makes these women laugh at me" he muttered while closing his door.
I laughed at him and walked back downstairs. "You look happy" Angela said when I entered the living room. "I am happy" I answered smiling. "No different happy" Angela said shaking her head at me. "I went to see my parents" I told her because that was also one of the reasons I looked happy.
"Bella! That is really good news. I suppose you had a good time since you look so happy?" Angela asked. "Yep, it was nice. It had been a long time since I had seen them you know, and thanks to Edward I finally got the guts to call them and meet them" I told her meaning every single word.
"Edward is doing great things to you" Angela said and made me blush. Of course she didn't knew that I was thinking about the other great things he was doing to me "Bella you're blushing. Oh my god! You and Edward!" she cried out when she understood what my blush was about.
"I will tell you everything after I get ready. We need to go to the hospital, Kate and Garret left so it's back us" I stated and stood up. "Ok, but I want to know every single detail" I nodded at Angela and walked upstairs to my room.
After getting ready me, Edward and Angela left to the hospital. Edward and I both started doing our rounds and were happy to see that a lot of our patients were better, some of them were even signed out. Of course we did have some new patients, but it looked like things were getting better. How wrong I was.
Angela being the curious girl she was demanded every single detail about my 'relationship' with Edward, but the thing was that I wasn't so sure that it was a relationship we had, especially with the way Edward was acting.
He was kind of avoiding me but the thing was that whenever I asked him something he would always answer, so he wasn't really avoiding me right? Who was I kidding, he wouldn't even say a single word if it wasn't for my questions. The answers I got? Cold and short. I didn't understand a bit of it but the only thing this could be about is Emily, or at least the problems he had with her.
I had promised him that I wouldn't say a thing about Emily so I couldn't ask him about that, and whenever I asked him what was wrong he would say nothing and walk away. Me? I was going crazy. Absolutely crazy but all I could do was ask him what was wrong.
We were also sleeping in our own rooms, not together anymore and that caused a lot of sleepless night. Sleeping without Edward was like a child sleeping without her teddy bear, and I needed my teddy bear a lot. Not only I noticed the coldness between me and Edward, but Angela, Ben and even Roma noticed it. They all asked me what was going on but all I could answer was nothing. Ironic isn't it?
Push the button people, I know you can do it! Pretty please?
