Thank you for reviews for the last chapter. Hope you all enjoy this!
That morning I woke to Edward and I completely tangled in each other. We were on our side facing each other. He had one arm under my pillow and the other across my waist holding me to him. I had one hand under my pillow, our fingers intertwined and the other in a similar position to his. Our legs were tangled.
I looked at the chiselled features of the man I adored and sighed a happy sigh. I was in complete bliss. On the day of my mothers funeral. There were so many things wrong with that but right now I couldn't think of one.
I looked up at Edwards eyes again to see him looking back at me.
"Hi," I whispered.
"Hi," he whispered back.
He leaned forward and began to kiss me softly. Before I knew it I was on my back with his head between my thighs, licking and sucking furiously as I tugged on his hair which was wound around my fingers. He pushed two fingers inside and pushed on that magic spot that had been discovered the night before. I came, hard, in his mouth. He lapped at me softly until I came down from my high before kissing his way up my body. He kissed me firmly on the lips before pushing his tongue into my mouth, letting me taste myself on him making me moan.
He lined himself up with my entrance and pushed inside. He thrust in and out a few times before pulling out, causing me to whine.
"Turn over for me baby," he said as he began to turn me.
I was on my hands and knees as Edward pounded into me from behind. I had never has sex in this position before but I'd definitely be doing it again.
"Fuck Bella you're so tight like this, I'm not going to last," he groaned into my ear.
His chest was practically laying on my back the way his body was draped over mine. He sat up but kept a hand on my shoulder, using it to pull me back onto him as he thrust inside me. I could feel he was nearing his orgasm so I reached down and rubbed furiously on my nub.
I felt Edward stiffen as he shot streams of hot come inside me, triggering my own release. We both collapsed on to the bed. Him covering me like a blanket. I loved the feel of his weight on me. He kissed the back of my neck and my shoulder blades as I came down from my high.
"I really need to shower and start getting ready. Esme and I still have to go to the house and make some food in case anybody shows up at this thing today." I said as I turned underneath him.
"I know. Come on. I'll help you get clean." he grinned.
"Oh no. I need a breather from your kind of 'cleaning'." I giggled.
"Oh shit. I'm sorry babe, are you sore?" he asked.
"Uh, yeah! "I giggled. "Once I shower and rest for a few hours I'll be fine. Don't worry, we'll pick this up later tonight." I winked.
"I'm going to hold you to that. Now let's go shower, strictly showering." he said with a grin.
We showered and got ready. I did my hair but decided to put on some jeans and a shirt and change at the house. Esme and I got started and made a small buffet. Worst case scenario, we would take it back to the hotel and have it for dinner.
We went down to the lobby to meet the others. They were already there waiting for us. I looked at them all and smiled. I couldn't believe that these people, some of whom I hadn't known that long, were putting their lives on hold to be here for me. Esme had closed the dance studio until this Monday, cancelling all of her classes. Jasper had paid his and Edward's staff overtime to cover the shifts that him and Edward should have worked. Edward had taken two weeks off. Alice had postponed her planned trip to LA to check on her business. Uncle C was the only one I would really have expected to drop everything. He was paying Jared and Jared's friend to cover at the store. Jasper had been keeping an eye on them before he came out and said that they seemed to be holding down the fort well. They were taking the takings at the end of each day to the bar where they were put in the safe until we returned. I told Uncle C I would sort out his banking and get everything back on track when I got back.
I had also decided when I got back to get myself together. I needed to seriously think about what I was going to do now. I also needed to sort out somewhere to live, I couldn't keep on living with my uncle. I put those thoughts out of my head for the moment.
We walked over to them and next thing I knew I was wrapped in Alice.
"Seriously Alice, I appreciate the concern but I'm lacking oxygen right now." I managed to get out.
Eventually Jasper came over and physically lifted her off of me.
"Hey!" she growled at him.
"The girl has to breathe honey. Hey Bella you okay?" he asked.
"I am. You guys good to go?" I asked interrupting whatever Alice was going to say.
Although Esme and Carlisle were dressed for the funeral, Alice and Jasper were dressed casually, like Edward and I. There was a bag at Jasper's feet and a garment bag draped over the chair where they had been sitting. I had said they could get ready at the house if they wanted. I wanted to get dressed as soon as I got there so I could help Esme finish preparing things at the house.
Alice turned to me with narrowed eyes and her hands on her hips.
"I was going to tell you about the things I brought for you to wear, and I want to do something with your hair." she said.
"My hair is fine the way it is. This is the way I want it. I will put ion what I bought to wear, no changes. Now we are running out of time so concentrate on yourself and let me worry about me," I said firmly.
"Okay the boss has spoken. Let's head to the house so we can get ready and we can make sure everything is ready for any guests Bella may have." Edward said firmly to a pouting Alice.
As soon as Alice and Jasper had headed upstairs and Esme and Carlisle were in the kitchen, Edward and I headed upstairs and I was pinned against the spare room wall before I knew what was happening
"It's so sexy seeing you being all strong and standing up for yourself like that. If you weren't still sore from last night I would so be fucking you against this wall right now." he growled in my ear.
And the panties are dripping.
"Don't do that Edward. Don't get me all turned on just to leave me hanging," I pleaded.
"Would I do that to my girl?" he asked before sinking to his knees.
He quickly rid me of my panties before propping my leg up on his shoulder, opening me up to him. He went straight to where I needed him most and sucked my clit into his mouth while thrusting a finger inside me. He quickly added another two as he roughly fucked me with his fingers and nibbled on my clit. I swear I came within a few minutes.
"Holy fuck, I needed that," I panted.
I looked down as Edward stood and noticed a huge bulge in his jeans. I dropped to my knees and began to unbuckle his belt.
"Babe, you don't need to ..." he trailed off.
"I'm just returning the favour,"
Thirty minutes later, after some serious rushing, Edward and I made it down to the living room, dressed. Alice and Jasper were sitting on the sofa waiting. Alice grinned at me as soon as she saw us. Just to annoy her, I lifted my finger to my mouth and delicately wiped the corners as if I was making sure it was clean.
"Oh, eww! Bella! I can;'t believe you just did that!" she giggled.
I just shrugged and wrapped my arms around Edward's waist and tilted my head up for a kiss. Soon after, the limo showed up to pick us up. We made our way to the small local church where this farce of a service was being held. Surprisingly there were quite a lot of faces there that I knew, old neighbours and things. There were also the motley crew of ex's Renee had acquired. They were all scum and you knew it just by looking at them.
Once the service was done we headed back to the house to greet anyone who came back. I hung out in the kitchen as much as I could, making rounds in the living room every now and then. There were quite a few people who came back to the house, most of them were from around the neighbourhood. I overheard one old biddy talking to a small circle of people as I picked up some things to take back to the kitchen.
"Renee told me that she just upped and left not bothering to tell her mother where she was. Left her high and dry financially too. Said she cleared out her bank account. I thought maybe she was on them drugs all the kids get hooked on," she carried on oblivious to the fact I was standing there. I hurried away into the kitchen, my cheeks flaming.
I couldn't believe the amount of bullshit that Renee told herself and others. Esme and Edward both turned and saw me.
"What's wrong honey?" she asked drying her hands on a towel.
"I just overheard an old woman talking about me. Apparently she thinks I'm on drugs since I left my mother after taking all of her money." I answered, banging the plate I was carrying down on the table.
"That woman is still being a fucking bitch and she's not even breathing any more!" Edward and I turned to look at her in shock.
Esme never spoke like that.
"I'm sorry but she is. How you came from that soul sucking monster and managed to be as sweet as you are I'll never know." she said as she shook her head. "Why don't you two grab Alice and Jasper and head on out. There's not too many people left in there and I'm sure they'll understand. Alice and Jasper want to take you two to dinner. Carlisle and I are having a date night," she winked.
I so didn't need to know that. The look of disgust must have not been as well hidden as I thought.
"Don't you pull that face Missy. You remember that your room is right next to ours at the hotel. You're poor uncle was scarred by some of the noises leaving there last night!" she winked.
"Oh my god!" I hid my face in my hands.
Edward was holding me but I could feel him shaking as he tried to hold in his laugh.
"It's not funny!" I grumbled.
"I'm sorry baby. " he snorted.
"I'm so out of here. Bye Esme." I waved behind me as I left the kitchen I grabbed Alice and Jasper and we waited out in the car for Edward.
The plan we decided, was to head to the hotel, check Alice and Jasper in, get changed and head out for dinner and drinks. It turned out Jasper and Alice were on our floor but at the other end. We got off the elevator and Edward and Jasper headed for our rooms but Alice gripped my wrist.
"Don't think you're getting away from me that easily. I want to know details. You have a major sex glow happening and from the sounds I heard coming out of that room earlier I've missed a lot in the past week." she grinned at me.
"Alice, I've told you before I don't talk about my private business with anyone. Now go get changed. We'll meet you here in a half hour." I said as I pulled my wrist from her.
"I will find out. I have my ways Isabella!" she called after me.
I turned and flipped her the bird before heading to my room. Edward was wearing his jeans but hadn't managed to fasten them or put a shirt on yet. I wanted to lick his chest.
He turned and smirked before bending over to put his socks on.
"You going to get changed or are you just going to watch me?" he asked with that cocky grin on his face.
"Shut it you!" I said with a smile.
I went to the closet and picked out a pair of short black tailored shorts. I teamed them with a cream top with thin straps. It had self coloured beading all down the front and made my boobs look amazing. It was an outfit I had picked up when I bought the clothes for the funeral. I changed into the cream set of lace underwear, a bra and thong, and then got out my black wedges from the closet. I turned to see Edward standing still shirtless, staring at me.
"You going to get changed or are you just going to watch me?" I asked with a smile.
"Touché Miss Swan." he said and grabbed a t-shirt out of the drawer.
Once I was dressed I went into the bathroom and freshened up my make up and sprayed some of my Stella McCartney perfume. I fixed my hair and was ready to go. I picked up the black purse I had used today and added my lipgloss to my phone and wallet which were already in there. Edward was ready to go when I got out of the bathroom so we headed along to the elevators to wait for Alice and Jasper.
"How long do you think it'll be before Alice tries to get one of us alone?" Edward asked as he sat on one of the chairs and pulled me into his lap.
"Um, about three seconds. Subtlety is not her strong point. Do you think Jasper drugs her sometimes so he can get some peace?" I asked Edward.
"I heard that!" Alice shrieked as they approached us.
"You were supposed to. So, where do you guys want to go eat?" I asked.
"I don't know about you guys but I'm in the mood for like wings or ribs. And I could go for a beer too," Jasper answered as Edward nodded in agreement.
"Guys, I'm wearing Valentino, I can't go eat ribs and wings in Valentino!" Alice gasped in disgust.
"I think that sounds amazing actually. I haven't had food like that in so long. I know a great sports bar not too far from here." I said excitedly.
I hadn't had ribs in ages. I looked at Alice and she looked genuinely upset.
"Alice, are you seriously upset?" Jasper asked.
"Of course I am! You guys seriously want me to wear Valentino to a sports bar! Have you lost your damn minds?" she shrieked.
"Alice, remember how we talked about indoor voices?" Jasper said to her calmly.
"Jasper, remember that time I kicked you in the nuts?" she asked him back.
I could see Edward out of the corner of my eye biting his lip to save him from laughing out loud.
"How about this, how about Bella and I go somewhere nice for dinner and you guys go to the sports bar and then we can meet somewhere for drinks afterwards?" she suggested.
My face fell. I so badly wanted ribs. Alice must've noticed.
"Come on Bella, you can't honestly want to go to a sports bar!" she chided.
"Actually I kind of do. I'm so craving ribs right now it's not even funny." I answered her.
"Fine! I'll have to go and change" she huffed.
The three of us groaned simultaneously.
"What now?" she asked.
"Do you really need to change? We're all starving and you know how long you'll take..." Jasper trailed off.
Dumbass so wasn't getting laid in the near future.
"Fine! Let's go!" she grumbled.
She never spoke again until we got to the bar. We ended up ordering a pitcher of beer for Edward, and Jasper and sodas for Alice and I. We got ribs, wings, nachos and loaded potato skins to share between us all. It was seriously the best thing I had eaten in so long. Alice had lightened up a little and we were talking about our plans for this summer.
"Jasper and I were thinking of heading down to Texas to visit family he has there for a couple of weeks. I also need to reschedule my LA trip and I may extend that, visit with Aunt Carmen while I'm there. What do you guys have planned?" she asked.
"I'm really not sure yet. I have so many other things think about first plus Edward and I haven't discussed anything. We'll talk about it later. Once we're home." I answered.
"Do you think things will be okay with you guys once you're back home? I mean, right now isn't reality you know." Alice said through a mouthful of nachos.
For someone who didn't want to come here she's certainly shovelling it away. We all had a great night, even when Alice suggested a sleepover.
"So I've been thinking, I've missed Bella this week so I think her and I should have a sleepover in my room and you guys should sleep in the other room." she said with a smile, which fell as she looked at our faces. "What?" she asked.
"Um, Alice, I mean this in the best possible way, but not a chance in hell." Edward said with a tone of finality.
"Come on Edward! You've had her all to yourself since the weekend. Give someone else a turn!" she pouted.
"Um, excuse me, I am here! And I'm not a toy!" I exclaimed.
Alice beamed then, obviously thinking I was going to side with her.
"But, to quote Edward, not a chance in hell!" I laughed.
"Bella!" Alice looked wounded.
"I'm sorry Alice but really, I've just started having sex with my extremely hot and sexy boyfriend and you want me to stay overnight with you when I could be with him? Sorry sweetie!" I shrugged as Edward winked at me across the table.
She pouted for the rest of the night until Jasper threw her over his shoulder and carried off to their room when we got back to the hotel. Edward and I laughed and then went back to our room where we made love until the wee hours before falling asleep.
The next few days in Phoenix went by quickly. Edward had to be back at the bar by Monday so we headed home on a flight on Saturday night. All day Sunday we lounged around his house doing absolutely nothing. That week was kind of busy. Edward had a lot of paperwork to catch up on and he had to go through his old hockey stuff to find something that could be auctioned off for the children's cancer charity he was a patron for. He literally had box upon box of stuff. I kept my word and sorted through the mail that had came in for the shop for my uncle, done all the banking and covered shifts so that we could give Jared some well earned time off. His friend, Embry, who was also a friend of Jacobs, had done a great job and was looking for work so my uncle hired him. It meant he could take time off without me having to go in. He wanted me to sort out what I was going to do for myself.
I had started looking at apartment listings for the area but there wasn't much going at the moment. I had enrolled for a few online business courses. I knew I wanted to open my own business, I just wasn't sure what. The following Saturday I found myself at the bar having lunch with Edward while we came up with a list of things that Forks didn't have. Edward was doing some interviews for someone to cover Lauren's shifts so I headed home but we had decided that since he was off tonight I would cook dinner at his place and we would watch a movie.
I made an indian curry which we had with rice and naan bread. We settled on his huge sofa to watch some movies. We decided on the Godfather to start. I hadn't seen it in ages and it's one of Edwards favourites. Just as the movie started his front door went. He went to answer it and I went and grabbed a blanket from the linen closet. When I came back there was a snooty looking blonde and a huge guy sitting on the sofa while Edward stood awkwardly in front of the fireplace rubbing his neck.
"Bella, baby, this is my brother and his wife, Emmett and Heidi. Guys this is my girlfriend Bella." he said as he took me by the hand and stood me in front of him.
The blonde looked me up and down and crinkled her nose as if she smelt something bad. Emmett looked at me with a look of pure hatred.
This was going to be an interesting night methinks.
And so Emmett arrives! We'll catch up with the impromptu visitors in the next chapter.
Characters not mine!
