Chapter 10: Day 4- Breathtaking
Previously:
"Nothing. He just touched my body a bit, he like just traced my legs and waist with his fingertip… then down the stairs… he pushed me against the wall reminding me of the time we dirty danced"
"Did he touch your skin or clothes? Did you push him off?" Rose urged.
"My skin. No- I couldn't. I didn't think of anything else when I was with him"
"OH MY God. We are so leaving you together on the beach." Alice squealed.
"Okay then. Guys, I really am beat. That's really all the details…"
"Okay, let's sleep. On the beach… Goodnight Rosalie and Bella"
"Goodnight Alice and Bella"
"Goodnight Alice and Rose"
Then the lights went out.
BPOV
The beep of the alarm clock didn't give up on peeving us.
I could distinctly hear Rosalie and Alice groaning too. I threw my pillow so it hit the alarm clock.
"Thanks Bella, but if we want to arrive at the beach on time, I'm afraid we have to get up." Alice sighed.
I took the first bath and got ready already. I wore the clothes Alice chose for me, a short denim mini skirt, and a light shirt and my pair of crocs that were flats. I didn't do anything with my hair and for once, Alice did not complain she said that the beach would ruin my hair anyways if we still fixed it. I was also bare with make up. While they were getting ready I carried our bags down to the living room. And skipped happily to see Esme happily cooking breakfast. I decided I would help her. I surprised her and kissed her cheek, as if I was her daughter too.
"Good morning Esme" I greeted her cheerfully.
"Good morning Bella. That was a nice way to be greeted, thank you my dear"
"Anytime. I wanted to help you. What can I do?"
"You can start with these hotcakes; I'll take care of the rest. Are the girls awake?"
"Yes. They're getting ready."
I started to beat the eggs and I added oil and butter and water and the hotcake mix. I mixed everything slowly and properly before I started cooking them. Esme and I worked in comfortable silence that is, until she decided to break it.
"So Bella, this morning I can't help but wonder… where you got that mark on your neck. I know you're a teenager and I won't lecture you and I wont tell your parents either" She winked. I couldn't believe she was a mom! She was too cool!
"Okay… but please this is only between us. Not even Carlisle can know, but I doubt you'll be able to keep secrets from him." I chuckled.
"Very funny Bella… I'm waiting here."
"Edward."
She let out one shaky gasp and spun facing me. I couldn't fathom the look in her eyes. They were clearly not disappointed, they were like amused but at the same time appalled. I didn't know what to say.
"You and my son? When? Where? What else did you do?"
"No Esme, it's not like that… it was just we got carried away last night. But it didn't mean anything. And we know that."
"What else did you do Bella?"
"Well, we sort of grinded on the wall by the staircase… and we were in his bedroom. But Esme I assure you that's all and that's all there ever will be. Are you mad at me? Are you mad at him?"
"No. I was waiting for this since you were kids, not the touching, the feelings. But I mean… I am surprised to know… it was purely physical."
If only Esme knew how emotional the feelings Edward and I had for each other but I decided that I wouldn't give her anymore ultimatums today. I continued on the hotcakes. A few minutes later everyone was downstairs waiting for breakfast. Esme left the kitchen and proceeded on fulfilling the hungers of the others. I jumped when I felt 2 arms encircle my waist. He rested his chin on my shoulder.
"How is your morning?" He whispered.
"Well, your mom noticed the mark on my neck and interrogated me about it and I answered her truthfully. I couldn't lie to her. I don't know why."
"What did you tell her?"
"Just how I got it and whom I got it from and the staircase show, but nothing more. She said she's surprised that we jumped to the purely physical relationship." I sighed.
"Mmm." He assented.
"Have you eaten?" I asked, concerned.
"No. I wanted to eat with you."
I spun around and got the last 2 hotcakes, I fed Edward and he fed me. It was really corny and sweet at the same time. Then when everything was going great I heard someone clear their throat. I looked over to see Carlisle.
"So… I think were good to go." He stated awkwardly.
"Okay. Thanks dad, Bella will be riding with me."
It was so embarrassing to think of the same words in a different meaning. Just remove the 'with', God I have such a dirty mind when it comes to Edward. I rinsed the remaining dishes and ran with Edward to his Volvo. We moved our bags to the trunk to catch up with the others.
The drive to Seattle passed by quickly. We went to the airport and Carlisle had a private airplane to get us. My mouth hung open and I saw the eyes of Emmett, Rosalie and Jasper widen in awe. But when I looked at Alice and Edward it was as if having your own airplane was as easy as saying 'hello'. It was unnerving. During the plane ride I easily fell asleep. I guess it was because of the fact that you could actually sleep in the plane. It was too comfortable. The next thing I know, someone was nudging my shoulder. I opened my eyes to see green orbs. I shook my head, dazed and took his hand and got up.
We carefully stepped out of the plane and I carefully took my surroundings in. there was a native man who greeted us and led us to a car, he was talking to Carlisle in a language I did not understand. And within a few moments we were off, Edward patiently explained that the car would lead us to their beach house in a remote part of Hawaii.
The house was amazing! Everything was made out of dark wood ofcourse. And it had a natural feel to it. There were no electronics in sight, none at all. The house was very open and only consisted of wood and glass. It was very cool and it was hard to think that you'd miss electronics. In front of the house, there was the beach. Then behind the house, there was a pool and a Jacuzzi. How cool! The inside of the house was fully furnished with wood and paintings that I couldn't understand. When we entered our room… it was spectacular. The beddings were all in white and yet everything was so homely. This house is my new favorite place in the world.
"Do you like it?" Edward whispered.
"Very, Very much, I can't believe we'll stay here for almost a week!" I literally squealed.
After having lunch, Edward and I unpacked our stuff and got ready to swim. He took a bath first and when he stepped out of the shower I think a pool started to form at my feet. I was drooling. I dizzily got up and stepped into the shower next. I was wearing the bathing suit we got and board shorts and I didn't dare look at myself in the mirror. But, I think I looked good since I heard Edward gasp when he saw me.
"Ready to go swimming Bells?"
"Of Course!" I freely laughed.
The water was very warm. It was perfect. Edward and I tried our hand in snorkeling, and honestly, I did it and had lots of fun. We couldn't mingle with the others; they looked like they were creating a very explicit scene in the deep waters. We didn't want to interrupt or witness. Sooner than I thought possible, nighttime came and so did dinner. We had crabs for dinner! Oh God, I love the life here. And then, I remembered… tonight I would fix everything.
I waited for dinner time to pass by. Then I waited to make sure Edward was in our room and I made sure Emmett and Jasper or Alice and Rosalie won't interrupt anything by accident. When I was sure everything would go as planned. My plan started.
I carefully went in our room seeing Edward watching the waves go against the shore silently through the windows. I silently went up to him and hugged his waist from his back. He wrapped his arms around me too.
"Edward… face me please…" Then just like that, he faced me.
"Remember when you told me you love me?" He cautiously nodded.
"I love you too."
He looked into my eyes to make sure I wasn't kidding at all and I think what he saw was complete sincerity. Then he slowly leaned forward and captured my lips. And because the kiss was so slow I could feel the emotions drop out of him and into my own lips. I kissed him back with fervor; I've waited for this moment since we were 13. To be able to kiss my beautiful Edward. To be able to have him for myself. To be able to say, 'I'm in love with my best friend, and he loves me too'. Sooner, rather than later our kiss became heated. His hands greedily went to my back just like my hands tangled themselves in his hair. He pulled back and moaned against my lips and we kissed again. His fingers carefully traced my bikini tie. And deep inside… I was thinking... Rape me Edward. I pulled away for breath and we kissed again. It was like we never wanted to stop and I didn't and I don't think he did either.
And then we got caught. I heard several gasps… and we broke away, irked and we glared at the interruption- the entire family. However, our glares softened when they were all smiling goofily at us. And then unexpectedly, they broke in a loud applause and roar of laughter.
"Finally." Esme smiled.
"Knew it would happen here" Alice agreed, smug.
"I've been waiting, since that girl moved next door" Carlisle chuckled.
"My Bella, all grown up" Emmett fake sniffled.
"Were so happy for you" Jasper stated simply.
"Well. That was an amazing show. This means youre finally together right?" Rosalie chuckled.
And at that time, there were no words good enough to describe how much love was in my heart, and we didn't need words. So again, I leaned in and let my lips be captured by Edward's.
A/N. I know it's short. But, I wanted this chapter to be focused on this night only. More to come. Don't worry. Review. Tell me what you think. And I need someone to write a lemon for me. PM me if you're willing to. And some details may be wrong. I've never been to Hawaii. (:
