"Bella." I knew someone was saying my name, but I was too comfortable to even attempt to answer them. Instead, I turned away from the voice and snuggled closer to the best pillow in existence. It was soft yet hard, and so so so warm! It smelled amazing too. Like pine and cookies and boy…boy…Edward. Edward! I smiled into what I now realized was his chest. "Bella." The voice said again and I stilled, realizing that Edward was still asleep and that was definitely not his honey warm deep voice. It was light and feminine and oh my God, it was Esme! I bolted upright quickly, nearly falling off of his bed. Edward jumped up right after me, startled by my sudden freak out. "What? What happened? Huh?" He muttered, rubbing sleeping from his eyes. I turned around to face Esme and saw that she was smiling. "I'm so sorry Esme! We were just talking…talking things out and I just…we just fell asleep. All we did was cuddle! I swear we did not-"
"Bella honey, breathe." Esme interrupted softly. I listened to her advice and took a deep breath. "I know you two would not do anything while everyone was home." Huh? Did that mean that she…no. She wasn't saying it was okay for us to have sex was she? Esme laughed at my expression and had a twinkle in her eye as she spoke, "However I do not want to have any grandbabies any time soon, so please keep that in mind." My mouth popped open and Esme laughed loudly. "Oh Bella relax! I'm not a prude. I know how young people are." She winked and I heard Edward groan. Well, at least I wasn't the only one being tortured. "Charlie is downstairs. Dinner will be ready in ten minutes. See you." She turned without another word and I sighed in relief.
"Fuck. That was terrible." Edward whined as he came up behind me, wrapping his arms around me and burying his face in my hair. "I'm sorry babe." I laughed as he finished his apology. "What's so funny nerd?" He asked, poking me in my side where he knew I was extremely ticklish. I squealed and jumped away from him. I turned around to face him, still laughing and saw him watching me. "You're adorable when you laugh. Did you know that?" He asked me sweetly. I bit my lip and shook my head. "Well you do now." He grabbed me and crushed me against his chest, smothering me in the best way with his incredible hug.
"So…" I trailed off, unsure how to bring this topic up. "So…" He copied me and I smacked his chest. "Shut up." He laughed and pinched my ass. "Then talk and I'll shut up. Come on Bella, spit it out." I sighed heavily and stepped back slightly, watching his face. "So your Mom knows about us." He looked confused but nodded. "I think my parents should know too, don't you?" I asked sweetly. His face paled instantly and I had to hold back my laughter. "Um…you…you, uh, wanna tell Charlie t-tonight?" Oh my God he was so fucking adorable. "Yes." I answered simply, wanting to watch him suffer for a few more glorious minutes.
"Kids! Dinner!" We heard Esme yell up the stairs. Damn it! So much for watching Edward freak out. Oh well, I could watch him squirm downstairs. I wasn't sure why I was getting so much enjoyment out of this, but I was. "Let's go babe. Time to meet the parents." I said, tugging on his hand and leading him toward his door. He stopped short and pulled me backwards. "What do you mean, 'meet the parents'? I've already met your parents. You know, when I was fucking born?" I smiled and tried to hold off my laughter once again. "Well, they've met Edward – best friend's baby boy. They've met Edward – daughter's best friend. They have not met Edward – daughter's boyfriend." I watched fifty different emotions fly across his face before he settled on horrified. "Fuck." He groaned and I smiled sweetly. "Let's go boyfriend!" He sighed and followed me out of his room and down the stairs, purposefully dragging his feet. I felt like I was leading him toward a firing squad, that's how overdramatic he was being.
We joined our parents in the dining room, and I walked right up to my Dad to give him a hug and kiss. I was going to get this out of the way quickly, and make it seem like it wasn't a big deal at all. I kissed my Dad's cheek and grabbed Edward's hand. "Dad, I'd like you to meet someone new." I said, pulling Edward forward as my Dad raised his eyebrows at me. "New huh?" He asked gruffly. "Yep. This is Edward Cullen. My boyfriend." I didn't think his eyebrows could get any higher, but he managed it. "Is that so?" He asked his voice hard and rough. "Yep." I said simply. I felt Edward squirm beside me and I fought off a smile. I knew my Dad. He didn't care at all. He'd literally known Edward for his entire life. I was pretty sure he and Carlisle agreed with their wives, that we'd always end up together. But I loved my Dad a little more for wanting to fuck with Edward. We were so alike sometimes.
"Edward." My Dad made his voice very rough and gruff. "Yes sir?" Edward asked and I couldn't help the snort that escaped me. Edward had never called my Dad sir. My dad arched an eyebrow at him and asked calmly, "What do you think you're doing son? Taking advantage of my little girl eh? I thought you were a good young man, but apparently I thought wrong." I think I heard Edward gulp.
"No! I didn't take advantage of Bella! We haven't even had sex-" He stopped cold, his face draining of color, his eyes wide and horrified. Okay, not so fun anymore. He was really upset and well…I didn't want our parents thinking about our sex lives. "Edward, he's only kidding." Edward's eyes snapped toward mine. "Really?" He asked with so much hope it made me feel extra bad for teasing him. "Yes babe, relax okay?" I kissed him gently and quickly, feeling him relax from my touch. I smiled against his lips and he did the same. My Dad cleared his throat and Edward jumped away from me. I stifled a giggle and saw Esme do the same.
"I'm fine with this whole…thing." My Dad said awkwardly, motioning between Edward and I. "But let's make one thing clear," He said sternly and my stomach clenched slightly. "I will not be there when you tell your mother." He finished and I did laugh then. "That's fine Dad, I don't think we should both have to deal with her ear splitting scream. One of us should be able to live with our hearing intact." He nodded gratefully and addressed Esme, "Feed me woman." He said with a smile as Esme glared at him. "You watch yourself Charles Swan or I'll make sure you're there when Ray finds out!" I said nothing, knowing that Esme would definitely tell my Mom. I was surprised she hadn't yet, actually.
After our little announcement, dinner was pretty uneventful. My Dad left not long after desert, carrying leftovers for my Mom that I was positive she'd never see. Esme was a fantastic cook and Charlie was known to not share. It was early, only around seven, so I decided to stay with Edward until my curfew came at eleven. Charlie said nothing, and didn't seem to care if I stayed. To say I was relieved would be an understatement. My Dad was not a liar, so I knew he was okay with Edward and me since he said so, but it showed a lot of trust and understanding that he just up and left like it was any other night before Edward and I began dating.
We went up to his room, and again, parents didn't care – Esme and Carlisle said nothing. Once we were in his room though, it seemed kind of awkward. I got worried, because throughout this whole weird transition Edward and I went through; it had never once been awkward. It was what made me convince myself that I would be okay if we became more than just friends. I decided that I was probably just being fucking paranoid, so I went ahead and made a move. Edward was lying on his bed with his phone in his face. I slowly crawled onto his king sized mattress, making my way toward him. Eventually I made it to my destination, his lap. I felt Edward tense underneath me as I wiggled around to find a comfortable spot.
"Bella," He groaned, his voice strained. "Please don't do that." I stopped moving immediately and jumped up as if he'd slapped me. "What's wrong?" He asked, seeming genuinely concerned. "What's wrong?" I asked and winced at how high my voice sounded. "What's wrong with you? There's nothing wrong with me. I was trying to make out with my boyfriend, but apparently he doesn't want to." I slipped my shoes on and looked around for my hoodie. "Where are you going?" Edward asked, sounded slightly worried and irritated, all at the same time. "I'm leaving," I said simply. "I'll see you at school on Monday or whatever." I walked towards his door and felt his arms wrap around me from behind. I instinctively relaxed into his touch and sighed.
"I'm sorry," He whispered in my ear, sending shivers down my spine. "I didn't mean to push you away. It just felt weird for a second." His tone was one of comfort, but I didn't feel comforted at all. He was trying to reassure me that it was just for a second and nothing to be upset over, but to me it was a big deal. He suddenly didn't want to touch me. Any girl would be worried, right? Was I overreacting? No, definitely not. I knew Rose and Ali would react the same way if it was Em or Jasper.
"It doesn't matter if it was just for a second Edward; the fact is that you pulled away from me. You didn't want me to touch you. It's fine. Just…I don't know. I have to think and I can't do that being all wrapped up in you. So I'll just see you in school Monday." I tried to pull away and his grip tightened. "Are you going to just run away without letting me explain again Bella? Is that what our relationship is going to be? Having misunderstandings and then chasing after each other to fix them? That sounds exhausting babe." His voice was strained and I knew this was upsetting him. I wouldn't run from him twice in one day. He was right, it was exhausting; not to mention very childish. I sighed and nodded, allowing him to lead me back toward his bed. He sat down against his headboard and we assumed what was quickly becoming my favorite position; me sitting on his lap and cuddling into him.
"Can I explain?" He asked quietly and I nodded again, not trusting my voice enough to speak. "I would never push you away because I didn't want you to touch me or because I didn't want to touch you." I opened my mouth to say that's exactly what he just did, but he covered my mouth with his hand. I licked his palm and he yanked it away. "Very mature Bella," I could almost feel his eyes roll. "Anyway, as I was saying…I wouldn't ever do it because I didn't want us touching. That had nothing to do with it or why I felt weird. I just freaked for a second because Charlie knew. You guys may have been joking around with the whole 'taking advantage of shit', but I was actually really worried about that." He spoke so quietly I had to strain to hear him. "I was worried that Charlie would think of me like another Jake. That's not who I am and that's not what we are. We aren't one sided feelings and hormones. Well I mean hormones play into it," I looked up at his face and he waggled his eyebrows. "But that's not all this is right?" I shook my head. "Exactly, so when you came over all sexy and wiggly and shit…all of that flooded my brain when my blood flooded…elsewhere." He thrust his hips up slightly and I could feel his erection against my ass. I swallowed back the moan I felt bubbling in my throat.
"So, you do um, want me right? And us, you want us? You weren't having second thoughts?" I asked quietly, because I felt really stupid for some reason. He snorted and wrapped his arms around me, squeezing me tightly. "I'll always want you. I'll always want us. I'll always want this," He squeezed me again and kissed my forehead lightly. "I'm not going anywhere Bella, I promise. Do you promise?" I sighed and kissed his perfect lips. "I promise," I breathed against his mouth. "I won't run away anymore. Today has been way too fucking crazy. Honestly I don't know how I'm still awake and breathing. First Jake, then the whole panty fiasco, and then this whole misunderstanding…it won't always be like this, right?" I asked, suddenly nervous at the prospect of being in a state of perpetual anxiety.
"Hey," He nudged my chin up with his thumb so I was looking at his face. "You're not having second thoughts now are you?" He asked in a very cute nervous voice. I shook my head quickly. "No, I'll never have second thoughts about us. It's just…today really sucked." He nodded before placing his chin on my hair. "It won't always be like this baby, but we will have bad days, just like other couples. It's not like today was some giant sign that this will be a disaster. In fact, I think today proved this won't be a disaster," He smiled down at me and I had to smile right back. "Think about it, we went through a ton of shit all in the span of one day, and where are we?" I bit my lip before answering. "Here." He nodded, and I felt the movement against my head. "That's right. Here. Together."
I turned around and straddled his lap, placing one hand on each side of his face. "You're right. We are here and we are together. What are we going to do about this opportunity?" I asked, grinding my hips against his. He groaned and I smiled triumphantly. "I like what you're doing right now." I smiled smugly, "Oh really Mr. Cullen? Do you like this?" I kissed him then, soft and sweet as I slowly moved my hips against his. I could feel his hard cock through our jeans and Jesus it felt amazing. The head kept rubbing me, right there, and I swear all it would take was a few more thrusts back and forth. "Edward," I breathed. "God you feel so good." He grunted and placed his hands on my hips, while his lips assaulted my neck deliciously. He trailed kisses all along the base of my throat before lightly sucking at my collarbone. He used his hands position on my hips to pull and push me along his erection. He picked up the pace and I began moaning, shoving my face into his neck to muffle the sounds that I couldn't help but make.
"Unnng, Edward…" I was definitely going to cum, and I was going to cum really fucking hard. "I'm gonna…mmm…God yes…" He moved his hands to my breasts then and squeezed them roughly. I felt him tug on my shirt and move the cup of my bra down and to the side right before he captured a nipple in his mouth. He sucked gently at first and I rotated my hips against him. He bit down on my nipple and began sucking it hard, pulling out the porn star moans from me yet again. Two more thrusts was all it took and I was cumming hard, my eyes crossed and I felt my entire body set on fire.
"Edward!" I cried out as he moved his hands to my hips again, pulling and pushing me along his cock at a fast pace. He was trying to continue my orgasm and reach his own, and fuck was he successful. I felt wave after wave of pleasure assault my senses, mixed deliciously with the best kind of pain; torture of overexposure to my now very sensitive clit. I felt him tense underneath me as he reached his own orgasm, sighing into my neck and kissing me lovingly.
"Edward! It's getting late. School tomorrow, let's go." We both froze as we heard Esme's voice come from the bottom of the stairs. Shit. I completely forgot that we weren't alone. "Do you think she heard?" I asked Edward, my eyes as wide as saucers. He shook his head. "No way." I rolled my eyes. "You sound very convinced." He pinched my ass again and laughed. "Let's get you home. I'll drive your truck and then walk back." He said it simply like it wasn't a big deal, and I knew to him it wasn't; but that's exactly why it was a big deal to me. Edward didn't even realize that what he just did showed how much he loved me. He wanted to drive me home and then walk back himself, just to be sure that I got home safely. I loved him a little more in that moment.
I got ready to leave and followed Edward out to my truck. "Keys?" He asked and I threw them to him, knowing he'd want to drive. "I hate this truck." He frowned as he started it. "I love this truck!" I defended. He turned and smiled at me before kissing my forehead. "Yeah? Well I love you." I smiled back and took his free hand. "I love you too."
A/N: I know. I'm sorry. But I love their little disagreements because they're both so stupid in love, lol. And I love the fluff, what can I say? See you next chapter. xox
