AN at end! Begins with SOO sorry
Chapter 10!
Howlin for you
Bella's POV
The restaurant was really nice on the inside it wasn't that fancy kind of nice it was the homey kind of nice. The waitress came to us immediately, "Mr. Cullen! Welcome! Here let me show you to a table." I was weird the way she squired and the same time as checked him out. I squeezed his hand making him smile. We let go of each other's hands as we sat down at a table a bit away from the rest of the people
"So Edward! You like my daughter? Can't find anyone your own age?" I gasped and saw that Edward looked a little angry. "Yes Sir I very much like your daughter and as for the other comment age doesn't matter. I am happy with Isabella, I may not have known her long but she makes me very happy. It wouldn't matter if she was 18 or 80, well maybe 40!" I giggle smacking his shoulder. My father cracked a smile, "Well that is good to know, I know this isn't how you wanted a date with Isabella to go but I'm here and this is time for us to all get to know you."
I really don't like the way my date is talking it's like I'm 12 and have my first crush on the boy on the football team. It's getting old real quickly. "Dad stop!" Then I whispered to him, "You are being rude, I like him and I didn't even have to bring you so stop. This cost him a lot of money so be grateful and get to know him." I pleaded with my eyes as I leaned back and looked at Edward who looked like the strong confident man I knew he was. "So tell me Edward about your business, what do you do?"
I stiffened this is a subject Edward doesn't even like talking to me about. "I own a accounting and stocks business. Cullen Incorporated. It had been around for more than 60 years it was started up by my grandfather in the 1950's. We deal with many high paid people who don't understand anything about stock and how to make them richer. We get a portion of their money and they feel as though they are fiscally intelligent. With the money we get we do other things in business and make more money that way. It's all a game of poker."
That is more than I have even heard; I liked hearing more about him. "I understand, I have no idea what stocks I have but I know that I make money but can't have it." My father said laughing, I grab Edward's hand and smile. This is turning out better.
The next hour they talked and laughed; well Edward didn't really laugh but it was better than nothing. Near the end of our meal I pulled out a pen and wrote a note to Edward as my dad told him a story about a fish he once caught.
Edward, I'm going to get my dad to go home. We might fight but it doesn't matter. Tug your ear if he can borrow your jet, tonight?
Right before I could pass it to him heard my father fling his chair back, "You Fucker! She is only 18 years old I don't give a fuck who you are; she isn't staying at your place!" I placed the note in front of Edward and grabbed my father, "Dad! Come outside for a minute with me please!" I whisper yelled at him seeing as the whole place was looking at us it didn't matter if I yelled it. We walked swiftly out of the restaurant; I turned around and saw Edward tug his ear.
"Don't! You are going to listen to me for once! I am 18 years old, I am a legal adult and if I decide I want to go to my boyfriend's house I will! I understand that you are my father and you support me care about me. I also know that if I want to be an adult and be successful I need to grow up and become my own person. Now I know this will not make you happy but I would like it if you left. Edward's company owns a jet and would like it if you went home. This was supposed to be a nice weekend but it is now ruined. I will be back and will call every day, if I have time but that is it. That is my decision."
He didn't look happy, "We barley know this man! How can I let you go out into the unknown? You could get hurt or killed." I smiled sadly at him, "That is what you have to do as a father I am growing up and I need to metaphorically spread my wings and fly."
"YOU BETER NOT BE SPREADING ANYTHING!" How did I know what he was going to say? "You should know better than that, and if I do decide to take that step it will be after consideration and knowledge that I am ready. Now will you follow my wishes and let Edward's Jet take you home?" I see him thinking about it for a moment or two before speaking. "I will. But when you come home me and your mother will be talking to you about your future." I turn and start walking back into the restaurant, "Let's go talk to Edward, I would like it if you were civil!"
My father huffs, "I like him as a person but I just don't want you to grow up sweetie I remember little Bells always counting on me for everything, telling me everything, spending time with me; I guess I have to let you become your own person." I smiled at him and kissed his cheek.
We walked back to our place I gave Edward a small smile telling him everything with my eyes and a tug of my ear. "My father had decided to head back home. I was wondering if we could use your jet to take him home? I know it's a splurge on gas but there would be no time to get to the train and have a seat left open. I will be staying the duration of the trip though." Edward smiled at me, "I have already contacted the air port and they will take you anywhere you need as long as it had a landing place. I am sorry you are leaving Sir but know I will take care of your daughter while she is here." He stood up and shook my father's hand. "My driver is outside and will take you to the airport your luggage is still in the back."
With that I hugged my dad and he began to leave, "I love you dad never forget that." He smiled at me kissed my forehead and walked out not looking back. "I am so sorry Edward; I thought it was going so well. I assumed he knew I was staying at your place to. I hope this doesn't make you hate me." He leaned over and softly kissed me. "I've seen worse!" And the moment is ruined!
"Come one Dolce Cuore, let's go out and do something fun!" He threw down some money as we left. I knew it was more than enough and a good tip so we weren't doing anything bad. We went out and started walking the night holding hands. We ended up at this small Jazz Bar. "Hey Edward! Nice of you to visit! Who might this beautiful lady be?" This man looked and sounded the whole jazz look. "Hey Ben! This is Isabella my lovely girlfriend and Isabella this is Ben; I've know him for as long as i can remember our fathers are really good friends. He owns this place."
I smiled and blushed, "Hi, it's nice to meet you! This place is so cool! I love Jazz music; is it all open mic or do you play the classics like Louis Armstong, Ella Fitzgerald, and Frank Sinatra?" He laughed, "We do that and Swing and some modern. This is a Jazz bar not club. Oh she's a keeper if I didn't have Angie you would have some competition.!" Edward hugged me tighter with the hand he had around my waist. "Yeah she is and don't get any ideas!" We are here to enjoy the night! We will take a Southside and Bee's Knees." Ben looked at me and thought better than to ask. "Explaination please!" Edward laughed, "All the drinks are the ones that were popular during the the times jazz was popular. Yours is supposed to be good and girly and mine is strong just the way I like it!"
I looked at him, "Just as long as you don't drink to much like last time." It made him frown, "Come one sweetheart it was a mistake; I was worried our date didn't go well! Forgive me and forget it!" I smiled, "What if I don't want to? What are you going to do about it?" A nice waitress brought over our drinks I took a sip and almost drank the whole thing. "Wow this drink is the Bee's Knees!" I said laughing as Edward downed his drink. "What are we going to do here?"
Just as i said it Michael Buble' began to sing Peroxide Swing and Edward had me dancing! "Oh My God! Edward I don't know how to swing!" He picked me up and placed my feet on top of his and we were moving. It was so much fun i was screming and laughing. The people in the bar were watching and some even joined. After that song it became a slower song; I'm making Believe; it was so beautiful.
After the songs ended I looked up at Edward smiled and brought my lips up to his. It was perfect, his lips were soft when they needed to feel that way yet it was passionate. I pulled back for air and he smiled at me. "Come lets relax for a minute and get a drink! He looked over at the bar aved at Ben and turned back at me, "Now wasn't that Fun?" I smiled at him and leaned forward grabbing his hands, "That was so much fun! I feel like a girl from the prohabition sneaking out to a speakeasy!"
Edward laughed grabbing the drink Ben just said down, "Well Doll this isn't Prohibition!" Then in a more whispered voice, "Even for you!" I don't know what it is about Edward but he makes everyone forget the rules THE LAW! Hey i'm not going to say no to a free drink.
We probably danced for another2 hours, I got a text so I pulled away from Edward to check it. It was my dad saying they were landing and for me to be safe. When I read it I unconsciously yawned and Edward must of seen it because he was grabbing our things. "Your a little tipsey and tired lets go home sweetheart." I texted my dad back saying: That I was glad he was home safe, that I will be safe, that Edward took me to a Jazz club, and that we are heading home.
Putting my phone in my purse I looked over to Edward, "Are we walking back? I heard that Chicago isn't the safest of places to be at night." He laughed quiet heavily, "Sam is here. Even if he wasn't you are safest when your with me, trust me Doll." He thinks he is the big macho man, HA. "What ever Macho Man!" He laughed and put his arm around my waist pulling me closer to him. I looked back and waived to Ben; he smiled at me but it didn't reach his eyes I wonder why. Before I could think much the doors were opened and we slipped out into the night only to have Sam right there.
"Hello again Mr. Masen... . I am please to tell you that your father has arrived home safelty." I smiled at him, "Thanks Samuel!" I said in a bad british accent; the one I think I have when I'm intoxicated. They bothed justed laughed as I climbed into Edward's car. "Well hello there!" I heard Edward mumble really close to my ear making me shiver. I looked up to see him roll up the window seperating us from Sam. I wiggled my eyebrows and Edward moved closer to me.
I looked into his eyes and I felt it, the raw passion in his eyes. Smiling at him i closed the distance bring his lips to mine. This was was every girl dreamed of; the fireworks and all that Jazz. It was amazing I almost jerked back when I felt his tongue in my mouth. After the initial shock it felt amazing. I liked the feeling so I tried to copy him. I felt Edward's hand slide underneath my top rubbing small designs on my lower back. Pulling back I looked at him. "I'm sorry I am still not that comfortable with people touching me." He frowned and then as quickly as it was there it was gone. "It's fine doll, now get some rest, I'll wake you when we get back" I snuggled into Edward and fell asleep quickly it must of been the drinks.
My dream started out nice, I was in a field with Edward my head on his chest. We were just talking then all of a sudden I was back home. I was running on the mountains. Why would I be doing that. When I heard a whisper I all but gasped, "Bells! I'm so glad you came back for me. I was going to die without you!" He went to hug me and I moved out of his way thus making him fall. Seeing Tyler fall scared me and that is why I woke up screaming into Edwards chest. I realized we were still in the car but it had came to a stop.
We were at this hotel and were parked outside Sam was out of it and then the door open. "Come on Angelo let's get inside." He grabbed my hand and we walking inside. I rested my head against him. We went to an elevator that was labeled penthouse we got into it and he punched in a code and we started our assent.

I am so sorry I haven't updated in forever. I moved back to college so I've spent the last few getting to know my new roommate and talking to my friends. I will try to have a once a week update but I will never not (double negative) update for more than 2 weeks. Just work with me, I love all of you!
