Here is the chapter you've all been waiting for! Enjoy!
EPOV
I was supposed to work, but couldn't concentrate. I kept thinking about last night, about the dinner with my family. Bella seemed like she fit in perfectly and I wanted to know what her thoughts were about it. I wanted to know if she saw herself in more of that kind of dinners.
I was sitting in a board meeting, but kept staring at my papers. My mind was going crazy and I needed to talk to Bella. I wanted this meeting to be over, but unfortunately it took the whole fucking afternoon.
As soon as I was back in my office, I grabbed the phone and wanted to dial the number. Was this a conversation you should have over the phone or should we be meeting in person for this? See, this is why I didn't do relationships in the past, you had to think a lot about what was appropriate and what was not. Maybe Bella had a suggestion to what was best.
"Hello?" Bella answered her phone and when I heard her voice, my stomach was doing crazy things.
"Hey Bella, it's me," I told her and hoped that she knew that I was calling. How awkward would it be if I had to say my name?
"Hey Edward, how are you doing?" she said and I was relieved. Maybe she just looked at the screen and saw that I was calling.
"I'm doing great now. How are you doing, beautiful?" I asked her. I wanted to give her a compliment, because she deserved it.
"I'm okay. So, why are you calling?" she asked and I was surprised by her tone. Can't a guy just call his girl? Or maybe she was pissed about that. Fuck, I just needed to talk to her about all that.
"Can I talk to you?" I asked her.
"Aren't you already doing that?"
"I want to have a serious talk with you, if you're okay with that?" I asked and shut my eyes. I was afraid of her answer.
"Wow, a serious talk. What about?" she asked and I couldn't figure out yet how she was with that.
"About us, I mean if you want an us?" fuck, now I already told her what I wanted to talk about. If she didn't want this, this was probably the last time that I will be talking to her. I wasn't prepared for this.
"I thought you weren't the guy to do serious relationships?" she asked and she had a point. I just couldn't remember if I told her that or if she just figured that out on her own.
"I don't know what is going on with me, but can't we just talk?" I asked her. This was all making me confused.
"When do you want to meet then?" she asked me.
"As soon as possible," I answered her immediately. I wanted to have this conversation over with, so I could focus on our future. Or maybe I had to focus on myself again, if Bella didn't want the same thing as me.
"You're wasting no time I see," she said and laughed a little. I couldn't see the humor behind this.
"I want to know where we stand and what you want with us," I told her honestly. Maybe she could think about that already, before we would meet up.
"Maybe you can come to my place tonight?" she asked and I was surprised. My mouth was hanging open and I couldn't utter a single word. She wanted me to come to her place.
"Edward?" she asked, but I was caught off guard with her words. She was always so embarrassed about her place and now she wanted me to stop by. Was that a good thing for us? It gave me a little hope.
"Uhm, sorry. Are you sure about that?" I asked her once more. I needed to know for sure that this was what she wants.
"Yeah, just don't stop by unannounced. I hate it when people do that," she said and that made me a little suspicious. I thought women like that when guys do that.
"I won't do that. What time do you want me to come over?" I asked her.
"Around seven or something? We can have some dinner," she said and I was feeling very nervous. Seven o'clock wasn't that far away now.
"I think I can make that," I told her and she gave me her apartment number.
"Do you want to eat something special?" she asked me and I was looking forward to her cooking. I didn't eat much home-cooked meals.
"No, surprise me," I told her and we said our goodbyes.
I wanted to get back to more for a few more hours, but got distracted by everything. Every possible scenario ran through my head and maybe I regretted meeting up tonight with her to talk.
It was 6:30 and time to go over to Bella's. I stayed at the office the whole time, so I was still in my suit. I don't think that Bella would mind that, I've been told I looked really good wearing suits. Maybe it would be an advantage for me tonight.
It took forever to get to Bella's apartment. I stopped by a flower shop and bought some flowers for Bella. I need to make a good impression and I bought the white lilies. I hope Bella likes them or else my good impression wouldn't be good at all.
Finally, I arrived at her place and she buzzed me in. My nerves were going crazy and I thought I had to throw up. Yeah, that wouldn't make a good impression at all, me throwing up all over her living room or something. I could already see it happening and I shuddered at the thought.
I knocked on her door and she yelled that I needed to wait a few more minutes. I looked at my watch and it was already past seven. She was expecting me right? So why did I have to wait some more? Was she trying to kill me here?
I heard some noises and then the door finally opened. She was looking beautiful in her jeans and a shirt, simple but oh so gorgeous.
"Hey there," I said and leaned forward to give her a kiss, but she turned her head and I kissed her cheek. That wasn't a good sign.
"I brought you some flowers," I said and handed them to her. She smiled and walked away from the door. I don't know if I was supposed to follow her.
"You can come in," she said and I walked inside carefully. I shut the door and looked around. The living room looked simple, but something was off. I couldn't think of something, but it didn't look complete.
"It was nice of you to invite me here. It really means a lot to me that you trust me enough to show me your place," I told her and I wanted her to know how much I appreciated her effort.
"Dinner is almost done. I made some lasagna. I hope that's okay with you?" she said and looked at me.
"I love lasagna," I told her.
"I don't have a dining room so we have to eat in the kitchen," she said and she blushed. She was embarrassed by her place, but I didn't care about that. I only care about her.
"That's okay, having a dining room is not all that," I told her and hoped that she would start to act a bit normal.
"Yeah, I want to show you around, but there's not much to see," she said and I hated it when she was talking like this.
"Hey, listen to me," I said and walked over to her. I grabbed her hands and turned her towards me. "I don't care where you live okay? I care about you and that's the only thing that matters to me. I know it's difficult for you to have me here, but I won't look down on you after seeing your apartment. I realize that not everyone has the money to afford the apartment where I live in. Don't act like you're nothing. I told you before; it really means a lot that you invited me here," I said and gave her a kiss on her forehead. I hated it when she felt so low of herself.
"I'm sorry," she said quietly.
"Don't be. How about we have some dinner?" I asked and she nodded. The table was already sat and I offered to help her, but she told me she could handle it.
It felt wrong to sit there and watch Bella work on our dinner. I started thinking about our possible future and if Bella would take care of me like that forever. I could already imagine it: me coming home from work and Bella would have dinner on the table for us. Some wine with it and we would just enjoy our food and each other. We would do something fun after dinner and go to bed together. And the next day we would do it all over again.
"Edward? Are you there?" she waved her hand in front of my face.
"Sorry, I was thinking about something," I said and blushed a little. If she only knew what I was thinking about. Would she like it and agree that it would be great like that or would she be disgusted with it?
"It must be something big if you're blushing about it," she said and that made me blush even more.
"Just thinking about the future," I explained to her. She didn't need to know more about it.
"The food is already at the table. What do you want to drink?" she asked me and I really wanted to say a beer. I don't think she keeps any alcohol around here, but I needed it tonight for my nerves.
"A coke is fine," I told her.
She grabbed our drinks and we sat down at the dinner table. We ate in silence, we both didn't know what to say. You could say that it was a little awkward here.
"So, how was work?" Bella asked me and I thought back about my thoughts earlier.
"Work was okay, nothing too important happened. What about your day?" I asked her. Is this what couples do? Have dinner and ask about their days?
"I worked this morning at the library and did some groceries this afternoon. Nothing too exciting," she said and I smiled.
"So, there's a reason why I wanted to meet up with you," I told her. I just had to get it all out.
"How about we go sit in the living room?" she suggested and grabbed us some more to drink. We were sitting on the couch, facing each other.
"I want to know where we stand and what this is between us. How do you see it? Or feel it?" I asked her.
"Why do I have to tell it first?" she said and blushed.
"I can tell you my thoughts about it. I don't really know what to say about it. I can tell you how I feel. I feel nervous about all this, it's all new to me and I don't know what to do. I can't believe that I would ever meet a woman like you and feel this way. I don't know about you, but I want you. Not just for sex, I want you exclusively. Just for me and maybe we can start a relationship. I don't know how it all works and what you think about it. Maybe you don't even want me that way. That's cool too, but you should say it then. I will leave you alone and we can both move one with our lives," I told her and was afraid to look at her. When I finally did, she had tears in her eyes. God, what did I do now?
"Are you okay? Did I say too much?" I asked her and panicked a little. What was wrong with her?
"It's been a while since a guy told me he cares about me. I'm just scared, you don't know what you're doing and it's been a while for me. I don't want to get hurt like before, it nearly destroyed me. I like you, but you've never done this before so I don't know if this will be a smart idea," she said and it felt like I was stabbed in the chest. She was doubting it and I felt awful about it.
"It's not that I don't trust you, but I want someone who would be serious about this and I know people get hurt in relationships, but I want to keep that to a minimum and I don't know if that would be possible between us," she said and I started to feel even worse than I already did.
"Don't you want to try it?" I asked, my voice full with emotions.
"As I told you before, I like you, but I've been thinking a lot about it after you called. I don't know if I want to risk it all," she said.
"I'm not giving up that easy. How can I convince you that I'm really serious about this? It's serious for me and that scares me a lot. For the first time in my life I'm willing to learn about relationships and I want to be in one. Since that first night, you're all I can think about and I don't want that to end. I want to be with you every day and I want us to have dinner together every night. I want us to have fun together, I want us to do everything," I told her and I was really trying to get her to agree with me.
There were some tears rolling over her cheeks and I wiped them away with my thumb. I caressed her face and thought of something. I don't think I can convince her with my words, but I could let her feel it. I kissed her and put everything in that kiss. It was going slow, but that way I could let her feel everything. She just had to agree with me. I don't think I could imagine a life without her now.
AlicePOV
I couldn't get it out of my mind. Do you ever have that feeling when you see a person and you really know that you know her from somewhere, but you can't place it? It's annoying me and I really want to know where I know Bella from.
I knew that I didn't know her from my store. Of course, I see a lot of people there, but that's not it. I was quiet on the way home from dinner at my parents' house. Jasper was surprised, because I'm never ever quiet.
After he brought the kids to bed, he came to sit next to me and wrapped his arms around me.
"What's on your mind?" he asked me.
"What did you think of Bella?" I asked him. I wanted to know his opinion about her. Something wasn't right about her.
"She seemed like a nice woman. I think she's good for Edward. Why? Don't you think the same?" he asked me and I was doubting it all. I always could trust on my instincts, but this time it seemed like my brother was happy with Bella. Why should I be the one to screw that up for him?
"I don't know. She seems so familiar to me and I can't place her. I know I'm not making it up. I saw her lots of times, but I can't remember where," I told him. I knew that he would understand what I was talking about. We've been together for so long and he trusts me when I feel like this.
"Maybe she's been to your store a lot," he said and I shook my head. Edward had told me she lived in a poor neighborhood and my clothes were more expensive than your average clothes. I don't think she can afford that.
"That's not it. I just can't shake this feeling off," I told him and he hugged me close to him.
"Just let it go, honey. Edward has finally found a woman who could interest him long enough than one night. I mean, he even took her with him tonight to meet his parents and the rest of the family. That means that she's important to him and that he's planning to spend a lot more time with her. Maybe this time you're wrong about it, that's possible. You don't want to talk to Edward about this and then finding out that everything is okay with her. Edward will be upset with you and you don't want that. He's happy now. Maybe that is bothering you," he said and I just took a deep breath.
"I know I should be careful with my thoughts and I would never talk to Edward about it when I don't know for sure. I just … there is something with her. I know that for sure. He looked so happy tonight, I just don't want him to act like he did before Bella. I hated it when he never took things seriously and thought relationships were a big joke. Did you know that I was afraid of my friends? I didn't want to introduce them to Edward, because there would be a good chance that he already had sex with her or that he was planning that. They were always mad at me for having Edward as a brother. I just want him to be happy and maybe you're right, that I've been having trouble with it that he's changing. I just don't want him to get hurt," I told Jasper and he nodded.
"How about we watch a movie?" he asked me and I nodded. He put on some movie, but I couldn't pay attention.
I was laying in Jasper's arms, but I could only think about Edward. He had always been my favorite brother since the beginning. Don't get me wrong, I love Emmett a lot too, but I could always talk better with Edward. Emmett made a joke out of everything, but there were moments where we would have a serious conversation. He had the biggest trouble with me falling for Jasper, his friend. I was the youngest one and the only sister that he had. He didn't want to lose me to his friend. I promised him that I would always be there for him. Edward had a lot of trouble with it too, but accepted it after a while.
Edward was always there for me, he still is, and I love him for that. Only when it had something to do with my kids, he wouldn't be there for me. I could never understand where his dislike for kids came from. I once asked my mom about it, but she didn't know either. She was sad about it, because she thought Edward could be such a great father. Instead, he focused all of his time and attention to his company. I was proud of him and what he had accomplished, but I doubted if he was happy. He was at the office day and night and even on the weekends and that couldn't be healthy. I invited him a lot here for dinner and some fun, but he didn't show up much. Always claiming to be busy at the office.
Sometimes I wish he would just tell me what made him like this. What had happened in his past for him to act this way? I thought about it a lot, because I wanted to see him happy. I thought maybe he would change when I got pregnant, I thought he would be there for me, but he became more distant and that hurt me. I made him Noah's godfather, but he was a lousy one. I barely have pictures of them together, because Edward didn't spend a lot of time with him. It made me sad, because Noah thought his uncle was amazing. I was happy that Edward showed up for Noah's birthday party. Noah told me that it was so cool that Uncle Eddie came to his party.
That day I saw a change in Edward. He was so quiet and looked a little lost. It gave me hope and I wanted to talk to him, but Jasper beat me to it. Jasper didn't tell a word to me about it, because he had promised Edward he wouldn't talk to anyone about it. Then I knew that it was a big deal that was bothering Edward.
He moped around, but after a while there was a change in him. Later I figured out that it was the time he saw Bella again. He was smiling more and you could see in his eyes that he was happy. It was surprising to us all when Emmett mentioned that he had dinner with Edward and Bella. Mom was so jealous that she had to change this.
And that's how we ended up tonight with Bella at our dinner table. She looked nervous and I couldn't blame her. They weren't even serious enough and she was already meeting the family. Edward looked even more nervous and it was so cute. You could say that I was shocked when he picked up Parker and held him. I looked over at mom and she was also shocked. It looked so good, and I had hope again.
"Are you even paying attention to the movie?" Jasper asked and kissed the top of my head.
"Just let it go, Alice," he said, but I couldn't.
"I'm going to bed. I'm tired," I told Jasper and got up.
"Are you okay?" he asked concerned. After all these years of being together, Jasper was still amazing.
"Yeah, I'm just tired. I'm going to check on the kids and then I'm going to bed," I told him and he nodded.
I walked upstairs and thought about Noah and Parker. I'm so blessed to have them and I couldn't imagine my life without them. Even though I was 20 and Noah wasn't planned at all, we both loved him from the second we knew I was pregnant. I quit college and started drawing designs for my own clothing line and it became a success. I have stores all over the country, but that didn't matter to me. My family was the most important thing to me.
I tried to be quiet and peeked inside Noah's room. He was asleep and looking so cute with his mouth hanging open. He was going to be a little heartbreaker later, just like his uncle and that scared me a little.
I thought about that and suddenly I was struck with a different thought. It was about Bella and suddenly I knew why she looked familiar. She wouldn't keep that a secret from Edward right? I mean, you just can't keep that a secret if you want to start a relationship. I knew for sure that Edward didn't know about this, because he would have told me about that. Everyone seemed to love Bella, but I'm not so sure about that anymore.
EPOV (picking up from where it stopped)
She kissed me back and I leaned into her more. Our tongues tangled together and I could have never imagined it that a kiss would feel that great. She laid down on the couch and I hovered over her. I held myself up with my arms while I continued kissing her. Her moans filled the room and it gave me reason to go further. I really wanted to show her how strong my feelings were.
My lips left her mouth and moved to her neck. I gently sucked on places and she lifted her lips to look for some friction. I started kissing her collar bone and her hands moved to my hair. It's been a while since we got this far. I was craving this and I hoped Bella didn't put a stop to it.
One hand moved to her side and my hand moved up and down. We fought for control and moaned as our bodies moved together. Her hips were going crazy against mine and she could definitely feel my erection. I wanted to take this slow, but Bella made it hard for me.
"Maybe we should move this to my bedroom?" Bella suggested and I was doing a happy dance inside. Was she expecting for us to have sex? God, I hope so, because that was what I had planned.
Rapidly rising to my feet, I grabbed her hand. She told me where to go and I looked around. Her bedroom looked so empty; there was a bed, a closet and nightstand. There wasn't anything personal there, but I shouldn't focus on that now. We could always have this conversation later, if I managed to get Bella to agree with me on our relationship status.
Her eyes looked so big and I wanted to kiss her again. I moved slowly towards her and placed my mouth against hers. I didn't think kissing could be so hot with someone. We were still standing and that meant I had two free hands. They roamed all over her body and Bella's hands were glued to my ass. She squeezed it a little and I let out a little moan. God, she could get me so excited.
My hands were at the end of her shirt and I wanted it off. I wanted to see more of her. I wanted to kiss every inch of her body. She got the hint and lifted her arms. She was wearing a plain bra, but with Bella everything looked gorgeous. I kissed the valley of her breasts and my hands moved up and down her sides.
I leaned into her more and lead her to her bed. Before I laid down, I got rid of my shirt. I hovered over her once again and started kissing every inch of what I could reach. I moved from her neck to her breasts, to her stomach and moved back up. Bella's hands moved up and down my back. It felt amazing and I could spend hours just doing this. I wanted to cherish her body and I think I was doing a good job at the moment.
I lifted her body up for a moment to undo her bra. She didn't protest so I continued. Her bra was off and I couldn't help but stare. Her whole body was just perfect.
"Stop staring," she whispered, her whole face red.
"I can't help it. You're so beautiful," I whispered back and kissed her lips again.
I continued to do that and one of my hands moved to her left breast. I cupped it into my hand and started squeezing it softly. Bella loved it and moaned into my mouth. I rolled her nipple between my thumb and finger and her hips were moving against my erection.
Her moans were getting loader while I moved my hand to her other breast. I cupped it first and then started teasing her nipple, still kissing her. She started turning her head and I took advantage of it. I moved to her neck and slowly went lower. I hadn't seen or tasted her breast since the first time we were together and I could remember that they were amazing. They should deserve an award for their looks. I chuckled softly and Bella looked a bit confused. I ignored it and sucked on one of her nipples. I swirled my tongue around it and gently bit it. After a while I traded and my mouth started to worship the other breast. My hand moved to the abandoned nipple and paid some attention to it.
"Oh god, Edward," she moaned softly and it made me smile; I knew I was doing a good job.
I trailed my way down and undid her belt. I wanted her jeans off so I could worship the rest of her body. Bella didn't object and helped me pull off her jeans. She laid before me in some simple underwear and I couldn't help but stare again.
I sat down and grabbed one of her legs. I started at her ankle, softly kissing it as I made my way up. Once I reached the inside of her thigh, I could smell her arousal. Her breathing got heavier. I moved her leg down and lifted the other one. I did the same thing, kissed her ankle and moved towards her thigh. After I had done that, I started kissing her mouth again and went to her stomach. She was going crazy and kept pushing my head south.
"Aren't we a little inpatient," I said laughing.
"Shut up," she said and went back to moaning and panting.
I moved my hands to her underwear and pulled them off. Her scent hit me immediately and I wanted to dive right in there, but promised myself that I should take it easy, take my time.
I kissed the insides of her thighs and slowly moved towards her. I kissed her pubic bone and then buried myself inside of her.
"Oh fuck," she said.
I started licking her clit and put some pressure on it. With my hands I had to keep down her hips, because they were moving like crazy. I licked her up and down and didn't stop with it.
"God, Edward. I can't … fuck … o my God, it feels so good," she said and I chuckled a bit because she couldn't even talk properly.
I moved one of my hands from her hips and started teasing her slit. I moved two of my fingers inside of her, while my tongue kept licking her. Her walls started to tighten around me and I knew she was coming soon.
"Fuck, Edward. Stop, please just stop. God, it feels so good," she started mumbling and I knew she wasn't serious about the stopping. I moved my fingers quicker and put some more pressure on her clit.
"Edward," she almost screamed. She grunted something and I knew she was coming. She said my name over and over again and something along the way that I was amazing. It stroked my ego and I let her ride out her orgasm.
"Thank you," she said and I moved to kiss her again. I never had a woman thank me for giving her an orgasm. It must have made an impression on her.
Her hands moved lower to my erection and she palmed it. I wanted tonight to be about her and I knew I was going to regret this. I got a hold of her hand and moved it away from my erection.
"Don't you want that?" Bella asked.
"Tonight is about you. What do you want?" I asked her and she mumbled something really soft.
"Sorry, what are you saying?" I asked, enjoying her blush.
"Iwantyouinsideofme," she said really fast, but I could hear it this time.
"You don't have to be embarrassed about that," I said and gave her a quick kiss.
I moved my hands towards my jeans to pull them off, but Bella's hands stopped me.
"Can I do that?" she asked and I dropped my hands. Her hands fumbled with my buttons and when it was finally open, she moved her hands inside.
She touched my dick shortly and then let it go again. I groaned a little and she moved to take everything off. I stood up to get out of it and now we were both naked.
"Do you have a condom?" I asked her. I could really slap myself for forgetting them. I hadn't planned on getting this far with her tonight so I hadn't brought them with me.
"No, I thought you would bring them," she said and now I seriously wanted to slap myself. I guess there will be no sex between us tonight.
"I know you don't want to do it without, but I'm on the pill so we would be safe," she said and I considered it. I always told myself to never have sex with a woman without a condom, but could I trust Bella with it?
"I can show them if you want. You can see that I've been taking them," she said and started to get up. I grabbed her arm and sat her down next to me.
"I trust you, you don't have to show them to me," I told her. I was a little disappointed that she thought that I didn't trust her.
"We can do other things," she said and I started thinking about it again. Should I just do it?
"It's okay, we can do it without," I told her and suddenly I was very nervous. This would be the first time for me to have sex without a condom. I wanted to know how it felt and if it was completely different.
"Are you sure?" she asked.
"Are you?" I asked her and she leaned in to kiss me. I guess that was a yes.
We moved back to the middle of the bed and I checked to see if she was still wet. My fingers glided inside of her and I moved them around for a moment. I kissed her and aligned myself at her opening. I don't think I've ever been this nervous with having sex.
I slowly entered her and I had to stop before I blew my load. Sex without a condom felt amazing with Bella. She was tight, even tighter than I could remember. It felt incredibly warm to be inside of her and I could feel every little movement she made. It felt like heaven and I started to move slowly. I looked at Bella and she was looking intensely at me.
"You okay?" I asked her.
"I'm perfect," she said and started to meet my hips. Our moans filled the room as our bodies rocked together. I'm not so sure if I can hold it out that long.
I held my face very close to hers and held all of my weight on one arm. With the other hand I moved between us and started massaging her clit. I wanted her to come again. I wanted to feel how it felt without a condom.
She wrapped her arms around my neck and pushed her mouth against mine. This didn't feel like sex at all, it felt so different. I didn't care about myself, I wanted Bella to feel good and that's all that matters to me now. My heart tightened and it scared me a little. What the hell was going on here?
Her moans were getting loader and I stopped kissing her. I moved my head towards her breasts and started sucking her nipples. I started moving faster and my hand moved quicker on her clit. I could feel her walls start to tighten, sweat dripping all over our bodies.
"Come for me," I said.
Fuck, I had to concentrate on other things, because I wanted her to come first. My fingers moved even faster, my teeth lightly biting her nipples. Her face changed; she flushed and creased her eyebrows. She tried to shut her eyes, but I wanted to look at her while she came.
"Look at me," I said and moved my face closer to her again. We looked each other in the eyes as we came together. There were butterflies in my stomach and they were going crazy. I felt lightheaded, I just can't believe that this could feel so amazing.
"Wow," was all that Bella said and I agreed with her. This was just wow.
I let myself fall down on Bella and she started giving my chest little kisses. I could get used to this. It felt even better than the first time with her. I was still inside of her and I could feel myself getting soft.
I rolled off of her and laid down beside her. I didn't know what she wanted know. Did she want me to spend the night or should I go now?
She laid her head on my chest and her hand moved through the trail of hair on my stomach. I guess this was her way of saying that I should stay. I wrapped my arm around her and drifted off. I wanted this every day, the rest of my life.
I woke up and Bella was still in my arms. I couldn't be any more happier than I am now. My boner was there again and I hope we can get a repeat of last night. Was it selfish of me to wake Bella up to do that? I looked at her alarm clock and saw that it was already 7.45 am. I should get up and get ready for work, but I didn't want to leave here.
I started kissing the top of her head and she awoke softly. Her head turned and she looked at me with a big smile on her face. Maybe I had convinced her to start something with me. That would make this even a better morning.
"Good morning," she said and gave me a quick kiss.
"A good morning it is indeed," I said and smiled at her.
"What time is it?" she asked and I pointed at the clock. Her face changed to horror and I had no idea what her deal was. I wouldn't be a huge deal if she was late for work or something.
"What's wrong?" I asked her, chuckling a bit.
"You have to go, like now," she said and got out of bed. She grabbed my clothes and threw them on the bed.
"Excuse me?" I asked, thinking I heard her wrong. Why did she want me gone?
"You have to go," she said and quickly went to her closet to get dressed herself.
"Why? Is your other boyfriend stopping by?" I asked, making a joke out of it. It wasn't a smart thing to do, because she looked panicked.
"Do you have another boyfriend?" that would explain why she didn't want to have a relationship with me.
"No, of course not. What do you think of me?" she asked hurtful and I knew she was right. She wasn't the person to keep secrets for me.
"Okay, then what's the matter? It won't be such a big problem if you were late to your job? I'm sure you can make up some excuse. Come on, just get back in bed," I said and patted the spot next to me.
"God damn it Edward, I asked you to go. Why can't you just listen?" she practically screamed and now I knew she was serious about this.
I grabbed my clothes, but then the doorbell rang. She was expecting some company and didn't want me to be here when that person showed up. She could have just told me and I would have left.
"Fuck," she screamed and she looked like she was about to cry.
"I can stay hidden in the bedroom if you want," I told her and she just shook her head.
"That's not possible," she said and there was some knocking on the door now.
"It's okay, don't look so sad," I said and walked over to her.
"Maybe you can climb out of the window?" she suggested and I thought she was going crazy.
"What's going on?" I asked her.
"Bella? Are you home? You told me to be here around eight," some woman said on the other side of the door.
Bella looked terrified and walked out of the bedroom. I quickly followed her and looked at the window. There's no way that I'm climbing out of that. She would just have to face it that I'm here. It wouldn't be such a disaster to introduce me right? Maybe she was ashamed of me or something.
"Come on mommy, open the door," oh my god, there were kids there. Her friend was here with her kids and that's why Bella wanted me gone. She knew that I didn't like kids and she just thought of me. That was thoughtful of her, but I would just leave as soon as introductions were made.
Bella looked at me once again and I smiled at her, to show her that I was okay with it. Her hands shook as she moved the doorknob. The door opened and two kids ran inside.
"Mommy, what took you so long? I missed you," the kid said and went over to hug Bella. What the fuck was going on?
"Mommy, mommy, mommy," screamed the other one and Bella picked her up and gave her a hug.
"Mommy, who's that guy?" the little guy asked Bella and pointed to me. Bella's friend hadn't noticed me until now and she quickly looked at Bella.
My thoughts were going crazy. This wasn't possible, Bella would have told me if she had kids. I mean, I've talked about kids and told her how horrible I thought kids were, but why wouldn't she say something about it.
This was probably a joke from Emmett and he would show up in a minute with a camera in his hand, laughing his ass off.
I looked at Bella and I know knew why she was acting like this and wanted me out of the apartment. Bella has kids …
