You Don't Know Anything
Previously…
Just ahead of me was freakin' Mike Newton making conversation with my Bella and stroking my baby's hair. Not happening!
I hastened my pace and as I reached them I heard the sleaze ball saying, "He's a beautiful, baby… just like his mother…" smiling at my girl.
I tried to stay calm but I was already seeing red…
"Back off, Newton!" as I was about to pounce…
Chapter Eight
EPOV
The nitwit was trying to lure my Bella into his web… uh uh! Not happening! Why can't people just leave us alone!
I saw my girl's head whip around to look at me. Her eyes widened at the look on my face. While Blondie's face here blanched as if I was death.
I stood by Bella with one hand on the back of her chair, still staring daggers at Newton.
"Cullen. What… are you doing here? You know this beautiful lady?" Ken spoke after a few seconds.
"I'm here to help Bella shop for school and to set things up for JC. Bella is the Chief of Police's daughter. She's my gir- uh… neighbour. Now. Back off…" I stated as calmly as I could.
"I was just uh… trying to see if I can get her… uh… I mean Bella… anything… It's my job. I work here." He stammered gesturing to the restaurant behind him. Get her anything… my ass!
"You weren't trying to get her anything, Newton. You were flirting! I heard you… so don't deny it." I said leaning towards him. He was lucky that there was a table between us, because if it wasn't there I would have ripped his head off. I was still fuming from my encounter in the men's room.
"Cullen. I was not flirting. But… I'm gonna be honest with you and say that I wanted to introduce myself to Bella and maybe ask to buy her coffee, if it's okay with her?" He said with a smug smile, directing the last part at Bella who was smiling at him sweetly.
I swear the twit was playing with his life-blood.
"Hello, Bella. I'm Mike Newton. It's nice to meet you. I go to school with Cullen." The airhead said to my Bella holding out his hand for her to shake.
Hmm… if I cut off that arm and start beating him with it, maybe then he will catch my drift…
"It's nice to meet you, Mike. As you heard, I'm Bella Swan. I just moved here from Phoenix. And this is my son, JC." The angel said in a low voice not to disturb JC, again smiling sweetly at Newton!
What the Fuck! Am I invisible or something?! I cleared my throat grabbing both their attentions, "Really, Newton? You are smarter than to think that a smart girl like Bella would be falling for a stupid hook-up line like that…" I said spitefully.
My angel scowled at me holding the whimpering baby to her, "at least he's not 'bumping' his acquaintance to hook up with me…" she said venomously. I pouted as if she had kicked my puppy. She pursed her lips and I could see that she was trying to hold back her smile… girl, you shouldn't have done that…
"Did someone try to-" Mickey Mouse here was getting on my nerve so I gave him a 'pat', that knocked the wind out of him, on the back cutting him off, "Mickey, dear. How about you go back to where you came from and we'll give you a whistle when Alice's here to order… okay? Good boy… now, run along…" I squeezed his shoulder hard trying to get my message through, which I saw had gotten to him… at last!
I sat down in the seat opposite my girl and leaned back. I saw Newton walking away rubbing his shoulder and I couldn't help but let out a small chuckle. That will teach you… stupid boy.
Still chuckling, I looked at my girl and saw her glaring daggers at me. oops…
"What the hell do you think you are doing?!" she whispered fiercely.
"What?! Don't tell me you wanted him to buy you coffee?! Come on, Bella. Even you can sense how dull and boring he is…" I looked at her indignantly.
"He sounds like Elizabeth-Bennett-trying-to-make-a-point sans the backbone, of course…" I said seriously.
She looked at me with wide eyes and burst out laughing. I saw JC stir a bit and then nestle back against my girl's honeysuckle sacks…
What!? What was so funny…
"What's so funny?" I asked her lightly, having regained my composure after the encounter with the 'Little Red-riding hood' Mike and the 'wolf' Sam.
"You are, Mr. Cullen." she said still laughing softly shaking her head at me. "You keep saying the strangest of things." She completed staring at me strangely.
"I'm glad I amuse you, Miss Swan." I answered her in the sexiest voice I could muster and I heard her breath hitch.
"Still… you had no right to tell him off. I could have done that. I can stand up for myself, you know…" she told me warily, "and what do you have against him anyway? He sounded like a gentleman and he surely acted like one. Why shouldn't I accept his offer? Not that I care about your opinion…" she trailed off busying herself with JC's blanket.
"First, he's no match for you. You are way smarter than him. Second, he's dull. You'll be so bored that you'd find watching JC sleep more entertaining than hearing the poor boy talk. And finally, you've got me. I know this morning our talk didn't go well. I wanted to apologize and acted like a complete Jackass and for that I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to accuse you of anything. It's just that those last couple of days didn't go too well…" I trailed off running my fingers through my hair and scanning the food court for pixie.
I looked at Bella and saw her eyeing me carefully as if waiting for me to pounce on her any minute, "come on, love. I really didn't mean to act like that at all. I'll make it up to you, I swear…" I said solemnly.
She eyed me for a minute and then sighed. She looked at JC in her arms, adjusted his blanket and kissed him on his head. She looked at me again as she started stroking JC's hair softly.
"How do I know that you mean what you're saying? I mean, you hurt me, Edward. Even if you didn't mean it, you really did hurt me. You have been treating me like a skank! What changed?" she asked guardedly, as if trying to gauge out how serious I was.
"Love, why don't you trust me?" I said exasperatedly and I regretted my tone right away once I saw her flinch at my words.
"Sorry. I didn't mean to sound like an ass. But you got to trust me when I say that I really wanted to know you. And I had sensed that you were already different than the others, even with your little situation here…" I trailed off giving a pointed glance at JC which I saw her trace.
"The talk, I told you about, had given me some points to ponder and I'm thinking they did the trick. I will never judge you. I just want a chance to re-gain your trust, or rather gain your trust since I never had it in the first place… Am I making any sense?" I asked her nervously.
She continued to stroke JC's hair and I couldn't help but sigh. I kept imagining that she was running her fingers through my hair…
"One chance…" she whispered.
"huh?" I said stupidly.
"I'll give you one chance to show me that you mean what you have said and to rectify things. I wasn't going to forgive you, but you seem to actually feel guilty about what had happened and you haven't acted out on me all day. But…" she stopped raising a finger and pointing it at me.
"That last macho act was not nice at all, you know. The last thing I need is for you to act on my behalf. I can fend for myself and Mike was acting like a gentleman. There was no need to do what you did." she warned me. Yeah right, sweet tits… he had no bad intentions what so ever… NOT!
"He's no good for you. I was just trying to make a point, because if I hadn't acted that way. He's gonna leech his way into your pants. And, I'm not gonna stand and watch him do that…" I said shaking my head like a stupid kid trying to make his point… not on my watch… uh uh!
"Edward. You are not going to act like that again, right?" she asked me slowly cocking an eyebrow at me.
"Fine!" I huffed and looked down at the table looking like a kid deprived of his favourite toy, when I heard her giggling softly. I looked at her and saw her trying to stifle her giggle with her hand. I couldn't help the stupid grin that appeared on my lips.
"Hey, guys. What's up?" Alice sat down beside Bella.
"Hey, Alice. Where were you?" I asked her trying to divert Bella's attention away from our lastest conversation.
"I called Jazz and he'll be meeting us here in a couple of hours. I saw some nice outfits and I wanted him to try them." She said as if it was so obvious and then she looked at me quizzically, "What's got you all ticked? What happened?" she shifted her eyes between Bella and I.
"Bella had the pleasure of meeting Newton." I said through gritted teeth, watching my Bella's face blush.
Alice's face lit up when she heard what I said and she gave me a knowing smile before turning to Bella by her side, "Oh, Bella. Isn't he handsome? He's a real catch; all the girls have been throwing themselves at him at school. I wouldn't have let him get away if I didn't have my Jazz…" she said excitedly.
What the fuck!
"Alice! What do you mean by 'he's a catch', for heaven's sake!? He's a douchebag and he's not worth Bella's time. She's way better than him." I glared at her trying to make her get my point. But she continued to smile at me, "But, brother dear… he's perfect for Bella. He's a true gentleman… He had never fooled around. Hell, I've never even heard him curse or-" I was seething so I cut her off,
"ALICE! He's not good for Bella. PERIOD! You don't know what he is. He could be a pervert or something. No one is that nice…" I could swear the look on my face was of pure hatred. I could swear that there was something about the guy that's not right… no one is that nice… EVER!
"Edward! What have we just agreed on?! And what do you have against him anyway… do you have something that you know for a fact? Because if you don't, you better shut it before I take back the deal…" my girl threatened and I gulped.
Not fair… I am only watching your back, love.
I looked pleadingly at Alice. I knew that she was trying to get back at me for what I have already done to my Bella. But enough was enough. And I'm sure she had realized that I had reached my limit. She knows I have issues with Newton, she knows that I hate him and she knows there must be something wrong with him, even though no one can pinpoint it. Yet…
"Well, Bella. Let's just take things slow. I'm sure boys are not on your mind right now, right?" Alice said trying to cool Bella down. That's right, because she already has a MAN…
"No shit, Alice. I already have JC. The last thing I'd need right now is to add more snags to my 'little situation'." She finished off her sentence looking pointedly at me. Shit, she's referring to what I have told her…
"Don't worry, Bella. I'm sure we'll find you someone amazing. Even if I have to use my pixie powers, I'll fly and get you the man of your dreams. Right, Edward?" she winked at her and gave me a wide grin. Note-to-Self… pluck evil pixie wings.
I glared at her some more, but she ignored me and looked around the court. "So, guys. What do you want to have for lunch?" she asked us.
"I'm gonna have Chinese. It's my favourite." My girl said with a smile. She has taste! But hell will have to freeze over before I order from Dorky-Mikey. I'm sure my face showed how ticked I got when I heard her say that. And an evil grin appeared on her face. Oh-uh… she's up to something…
"Edward… I have craving for some different Chinese things, but I don't think I can finish them all… would you like to share with me?" she asked me sweetly, batting her lashes at me. Brainy-Edward here… over and out.
"Sure, Love." I said with a goofy grin.
Alice, who was still browsing, whipped her head and stared at me wide-eyed with her mouth agape. What's her problem? She knows I love Chinese…
"I'll have Chinese as well. Edward, do you mind calling Mike so we can order? He's standing over there with his back to us." Alice said with a wicked grin.
"Sure, Ali-baba" I said with a smile. I looked around and didn't bother to move further, I whistled high enough to gain the puppy's attention.
Sure enough, I saw him running our way.
"Hey, Alice. How are you? So, guys… what can I get you?" he asked looking at my Bella. So not happening, boy!
"Order whatever you're craving, love…" I said to my girl… while Newton gaped at me. What? It's not like I'm gonna order before her, ladies first, right…
My girl started giving him her order and the stupid boy was still looking at me, "Newton, you'd better be memorizing her order because if you miss any of it, you will answer to me…" I threatened. I wasn't about to let my girl starve here…
"Oh. Sorry, Bella. Can you repeat that?" he shook his head and started to take her order again. I looked at Alice, nodding to her to give her order.
Once Alice was done, I looked at him, "I want you to double… no triple the order that Bella had given you. And I'll have a coke to go with tha-" I was cut off by my girl's exasperated voice, "Edward! Are you crazy?! I already ordered three things and I don't eat a lot, you should_" but I wasn't taking any of that, so I cut her off,
"That's my point. You are not eating well and you are already loosing weight. You are not eating properly! Can you please just let me take care of you? Don't worry; I'll eat the rest…" I was frustrated. I can't just have her all skin and bones… she's already so petite.
"Bella, there is no use arguing with him. My dear brother is too stubborn for his own good…" pixie sneered. Okay, amendment to Note-to-Self… Pluck evil pixie wings AND TONGUE!
I gave her a glare and looked the stupid puppy standing beside me staring at my Bella. I cleared my throat gaining his attention, "I'm not gonna repeat myself, Newton. Run along…" I said giving him a hard look. Now, go. Fetch… Good boy.
I leaned back and watched as Newton ran to get our food. I couldn't help but chuckle. I looked at my angel and saw her glaring at me. Shit, "What! You need to eat and he was just standing there…" I tried to explain, "You could act more civil, Edward…" she huffed.
When the food arrived, I noticed Bella picking at her food, trying to manage to eat with one hand, since she was holding JC with the other and she couldn't hold the boxes near her. I was already done eating.
I grabbed one of the boxes, opened it and picked up some noodles with my chopsticks holding them near Bella's mouth, "Open up, Love…" I spoke softly to her; she looked at Alice whom I saw was looking at me with a shocked expression. But I couldn't give a rat's ass right now. Gotta feed my girl…
She opened up her mouth tentatively and I placed the food in her mouth. I watched as her lips closed around the chopsticks and she hummed appreciatively. I watched her chew her small bite, her tongue peeking every couple of chews to get any of the sauce off the corners of her lips.
I couldn't stop staring at her mouth; she missed a spot and I wiped it with my finger, but what I didn't anticipate was what she did next. Once my finger left the corner of her mouth, she turned her head and took the tip of my finger between her lips sucking lightly the sauce off of it. My breath hitched.
I felt her tongue twirling around it and hummed, then she released my finger from her mouth with a pop, "Did I get it all, Edward?" she asked me softly and I thought I was done for it.
Images of Bella on her knees, looking at me with her doe-like eyes asking me that same question after 'finishing' me off with the same act… "Did I get it all, Edward?" she was asking me with a seductive voice…
"Yes, you did, love…" I was almost panting when I answered her question; my eyes glazed over not leaving the sight of her luscious lips. Is it me, or is it getting warm in here…
"Eww Edward! Are going to continue feeding Bella? Or should I help her instead? We still have more shopping to do!" Alice asked me, irritated.
"Back off, pixie. I'll help her. You know what… why don't you go get JC the stroller that you pointed out to me from before. This will give me enough time to help Bella finish her food and we can save time to continue our shopping trip… what do you think?" I asked pixie smiling sweetly at her and from the look on her face I knew she'd take the bait. Gotcha!
"But I don- UGH!" my stupid lamb was making an attempt to abort my plan, so I took the chance and stuffed her mouth with a big bite. She looked at me scornfully and I gave her one of the famous Cullen piercing gazes causing her breath to hitch. She then blushed and looked at JC as she continued to chew her mouthful of food. Good girl… no talking back to me!
"See ya, guys." With that Pixie flew to out of the food court.
"Don't be stubborn, love. You can't keep holding JC in your arms, you will hurt your back and you will get tired. You should've gotten that stroller long ago…" I trailed off, placing another bite in her mouth. I moved my chair so I was sitting beside her free hand and I watched her swallow the bite. Damn! Since when did 'eating food' become too erotic? I adjusted my now really tight pants.
"I wanted to get him one. But we already got him so many things… I thought I'd wait till the next trip. I already have his basinet, I don't think I'm gonna need a- UGH!" I cut her off, stuffing another bite into her mouth. And I thought I was the stubborn one!
"Stop arguing, I'm getting you the damn stroller. And you are using it. I don't want to see you holding JC in your arms more than necessary. He's a growing baby and It's not practical. What if you trip?! Would you like to see him hit his head or something?" I asked her in an annoyed tone.
She wiped her mouth and I put the container on the table staring hard at her.
"Fine! But I will pay for the- MMM!" not happening, I crashed my lips to hers silencing her once and for all. She tasted like The sweet & sour she just ate… yum! At first, she was frozen. I'm guessing she didn't expect me to kiss her, but then as I started moving my lips against hers, her lips started reacting moving sensually against mine. I held her from the back of neck her neck with one hand and held her free hand with the other. I traced her lower lip with my tongue and once she opened up for me, I plunged my tongue into her mouth, massaging hers with mine.
When the need for air was too much, I moved away just a bit to take a quick breath, but stayed close to her gnawing on her lower lip lightly. My breathing was racing with hers and my pants were about to burst any second… never had I felt such powerful emotions with any girl.
"I'm…" nibbling at the corner of her mouth, "getting you…" licking the other corner, "the fucking stroller…" sucking at her bottom lip, "no arguments, love…" I continued to touch her mouth with mine, not kissing, just caressing it with my lips fanning my breath with hers and touching her nose with mine…
"uh huh…" her eyes were hooded and unfocused, she was trying to concentrate her gaze. I moved a bit further hesitantly, my eyes still darting between her mouth and eyes as if daring her to say another word after what I have told her.
"Good…" I whispered, moving a bit further trying to clear my head and will my 'problem' away… I closed my eyes and took a few deep calming breaths. I opened my eyes and peeked at her and saw her doing the same her recently freed hand on her heaving chest trying to calm herself, her eyes closed.
"I'll be back…" I whispered to her and took off not waiting for her acknowledgement. I zoomed to the bathroom. I splashed my face with cold water, taking more deep breaths. I waited for a few minutes and once everything was 'bearable', I got out making my way to the food court.
On the way I found Alice pushing a stroller happily with a sleeping JC in it and I approached her seeing that my angel was MIA, "Where is Bella?" I asked her quickly.
"She's freshenin' up and she'll meet me at the entrance on the second floor. Jazz will arrive in a bit and I'm meeting him there. Wait for her so that she doesn't get lost here and I'll see you both soon." With that she walked away.
I leaned against the wall opposite from the ladies' room waiting for Bella to emerge. I was hoping that I didn't scare her off by my act. I have never acted like this before towards any other female! It's like just the thought of her with anyone else, brings out the caveman in me. A few kids passed me playing with a Frisbee.
"Hey! Careful, boys... You're gonna hurt someone with that Frisbee! Play outside!" I scolded the one that looked to be the oldest of the bunch.
"Sure, sure… NOT!" he mocked me throwing the Frisbee with all his might my way, just as my Bella was getting out of the ladies' room.
The Frisbee was making a turn and about to make contact with Bella when I jumped in front of it taking the hit in right side of my forehead.
"UGH!" I yelped and covered the area with my hand, dropping to the ground.
"Edward! Oh My God! Edward, are you all right." My angel squatted beside me trying to uncover the area to check the damage. I leaned back against the wall closing my eyes trying not to think about the pain that got my head pounding.
"Edward, please answer me… are you alright?" she sounded as if she was about to cry, she took my head in her hands and held it to her chest stroking my hair… déjà vu, much! Wasn't that what I had wished for just less than an hour ago, when I saw her stroking JC's hair against her chest?
I leaned closer to her nuzzling her breasts and sighed as she continued to stroke my hair. And then she touched my bruise and I couldn't help the hiss that escaped my mouth. "Ouch!" I whispered.
"Sorry, sorry… are you okay? Do you think you can walk? Do you want me to call your dad?" she asked me frantically.
"I'm fine, love. Just give me a minute to take my breath…" I whispered. I'll take a breath alright.
I buried my face in her chest and took a few deep breaths… yes that's it. Oh God, her smell was heaven!
She continued to stroke my hair as I continued to breathe her scent.
Moments later I looked up at her and saw her looking at me tenderly; I smiled at her and sighed, "Thank you, Edward. For taking the hit I mean… it was so sweet of you" she whispered against my forehead, kissing my bruise gently. I couldn't help the big sigh that escaped my lips… Oh, Angel… I'll take the hit for you anytime if it gets you to hold me and kiss me like this!
"We have to go. Alice is waiting for us at the entrance. Jazz is meeting her there…" I said standing up slowly.
"Are you sure you're okay?" she asked me anxiously, touching the bruise lightly with her fingers.
"yeah, I'm fine, love. Come now…" taking her hand and leading her through the corridors.
I saw my sister standing by the stroller smiling at her boyfriend who was kneeling in front of the stroller cooing to the baby.
When we were ten feet away, my girl froze mid-stride and stopped. I looked at her puzzled and she looked petrified staring at Jazz who was still cooing at the baby.
"JASPER!" she exclaimed.
And for the first time in my life, I saw Jasper shoot up and stare shell-shocked at my girl, "Bells!" he said, shocked.
What the Fuck!
