Edwards POV
Chapter 10- Edwards Confession Bella had been very relaxed, to say the least. Of course she had the pain pills, so that helped her stay out of the loop for the first few days. But as her arm started to heal she began to get antsy. Alice was complaining that she missed her on the basketball court, as did I. Jasper and I decided to take the girls out for dinner one night, in honor of the semester being done. We had decided on my favorite restaurant, it took a little bit of driving but it was my favorite in the Kansas City area. An Italian place called Zios.
"I wish I wasn't on pain killers." She muttered as she sipped her Pepsi. I grinned and pushed my beer away from myself. If she couldn't drink, I would make the sacrifice too. I don't think she knew how far I would go to please her.
"Hey, what day are you two leaving next week?" Alice asked, between bites of her pasta. Jasper was grinning at her like a Cheshire cat, they would be having the house to themselves for two weeks starting next Thursday.
"Thursday. Want to take us to the airport?" Bella answered for me. Her head was resting on her arms folded on the table. I could really see the depression tonight, maybe not so much depression, but boredom was definitely residing there. Her eyes definitely didn't sparkle the way they used to these days, I wish I could think of a way to see that smile I loved so much. I was currently trying to persuade our coach to let Bella help out with the younger squads, let her get a feel for coaching. And I had spoken to guy at a local gym who runs an extreme league of cheerleading. I don't know what she would do if she had to be cut off completely.
"When does that thing come off?" Alice asked, making a sour expression as she nudged the plaster cast on Bella's arm. There was a hint of a smile playing on her lips.
"After we get back. I have an appointment that Monday. Five weeks is long enough. I'm already going crazy and its only been two weeks." She explained, rolling her eyes. I had to do something, I couldn't stand seeing her like this. I leaned over to her. My nose tickling her ear.
"Have some calamari love. Its good." I whispered. I did not miss her whole body shudder as she leaned into me. That was the one thing she seemed to enjoy doing. Me. Not that I was complaining, I was definitely not complaining; I just missed the rest of her.
"You just want me to eat it because its an aphrodisiac." She teased, a bright smile on her lips. There it was, the smile that lit up my whole world. I chuckled, pushing a glass of wine in her direction. She hadn't taken a pain pill yet, so I was going to make her enjoy herself.
"I have an idea." I whispered to her. Her head bobbed up so her eyes could be level with mine. She waited patiently for me to continue. I was a little unsure how to explain what I've been doing for her these past weeks.
"I spoke to the guy that owns Extreme Gym, and he has an opening for a youth cheer coach. He said he would love to have to on." I whispered to her. Alice watched me with knowing eyes, I had already spoke with her about this. As for Bella, I couldn't quite decipher the emotion that played on her face at the moment. She had a cross between excited, and sarcasm.
"How am I supposed to coach kids when I cant do anything Edward?" The sarcasm must have won out. I shrugged, she was mad.
"They already know the basics, you'll just be coaching love. Showing them the finer points of cheer. And of course I will be there with you. And it wouldn't start until after we got back, and by then you will have the smaller fiberglass cast that is easier to move in." I explained. I hoped she would calm down. She did.
"I guess its worth a try. If doesn't go well, I'm holding you completely accountable." She threatened. I nodded, putting my hands up in front of me, showing I agreed. I just wanted to she that light shine in her eyes again.
So we spent the next week preparing for our trip to Seattle to visit with my parents for Christmas. She was putting everything together as best she could with her arm in a sling. But I could see the quick flashes of the old Bella shine through her boredom. It was night before we were leaving, and she was packing the last of our things. I just couldn't keep my hands off of her all through the whole day.
"Edward if you don't stop, I will never get this done." She chastised me, I was currently trying to seduce her. I had her tank top strap pulled down her shoulder, leaving kisses all over her neck, and jaw line. She was enjoying it she just didn't want to admit it. I had been so gentle with her these past few weeks, I just wanted to ravage her right now. I could feel her shiver beneath my lips as I planted a light kiss just above her breast. I could practically feel her resolve crumble. I swiftly pulled her top off, yanking her shorts off right after, she had no underwear on.
"Bella, did you plan on this happening?" I pulled her ear to my lips. I knew that she secretly loved it when I was rough with her.
"No…but I was hoping." She answered, there was a plead in her voice. I roughly shoved her onto the bed, but still being careful of her arm, and watched as she reached for the button on my jeans, and pulled them down.
"I don't know when we'll get to do this next." I told her, she just smiled.
"Then make it count." I could only smile at her words, this was going to be a long night. She scrambled to her knees, bringing her eyes level with my own. Her lips meeting mine at the halfway point, soft and passionate.
"Wait, I have to say this before I don't." I stopped, she pulled away looking slightly rejected. My beautiful girlfriend was naked, on the bed, and I wanted to pour my heart out.
"I know that I don't say this enough, and I'm going to work on that. But I love you Bella, and you light up my whole life. I love it when your smile lights up your whole face. The way your eyes twinkle when I say something that amuses you. I don't want to live without you, I want to spend the rest of my life with you." There I said it. I had been keeping that from her since she came home from the hospital, something about seeing her all hooked to a machine and depending on that for her life when she had surgery made something click inside me. I wanted her, no needed her forever.
"What are you saying Edward?" She whispered back, her eyes were intense. But a small smile played on her lips, I knew she loved me back; I just hadn't wanted to rush things. But she made me feel like the world belonged to me.
"Someday I want to marry you. Someday." I whispered back, leaning into her. My lips captured hers again, not waiting for a response. This kiss was more passionate than any before. Our tongues danced, wrestled for control of the other. I pushed her back onto the bed, climbing on top of her. She tugged at my shirt, trying to pull it over my head. I helped her discard the last piece of fabric that remained between us, and I reveled at the feel of her soft skin on mine.
"Edward. I love you too." She whispered. I pulled back, my eyes meeting her eyes. Her deep brown eyes seemed like pools tonight, there was a happiness, and a love there that had been missing these past few weeks.
"So you want me forever too?" I inquired. She nodded her head, her eyes slowly drooping shut as I slid into her warm body.
"Yes Edward. I want you forever. I wanted you forever the first day I met you." She whispered. With that I lost my calm self control and began to ravage her. Her hips meeting my thrusts, as I roughly took her. Her moans were enough to keep me going forever tonight. Her legs wrapped around my hips, pulling me deeper inside of her. I unhooked her legs quickly, and brought them to my shoulders. She let out a loud moan as I tried this new position. She must like it then. I could feel her contract around me, nearing her own climax.
"Come on baby, let it go." I told her, not letting up on my pace. I had a rough hold on her legs, she was definitely going to have marks. I let go of her legs, replacing them at my waist. I wanted to make this last as long as possible. I pulled out, my lips meeting hers again as I climbed on top of her again.
"Edward, I thought you going to break me. But it felt so good." She panted. I smiled against her lips, and thrust into her again. Her loud moan filled the room as I resumed the pace I had been at before. How long we were like that, I wasn't sure but she finally let herself go. Her toes curled as she screamed my name, and her body shuddered from the pleasure I had brought to it. But I wasn't any where near finished with her. I quickly rolled her over onto her hands and knees, only leaving her warmth for a second and dove back in. I grabbed hold of her hips, helping her meet my every thrust. This had to be the most amazing position ever, and I could tell she was enjoying it too. She let out another moan as she climaxed again, making me near my own. With one final thrust I came inside of her, the feeling was like none other. I laid back down beside her, she instantly curled up to my side whimpering a little. I suddenly felt extremely guilty.
"Are you ok? I didn't hurt your arm did I?" How could I have possibly forgot about her arm. That position had to have been painful for her.
"A little, but I was kind of leaning on it as a support. But it wasn't to bad. I think I do need a pain pill though." She answered, still trying to catch her breath.
"Oh god Bella, I am so sorry. I just got all caught up in the moment." I rushed, she quieted me by placing her lips on mine. Sliding her warm body next to mine, her face inches from mine.
"Edward it's ok. It was well worth it. Now go get me a pill and we will sleep." She demanded. I smiled at her, her face lighting up as I left a chaste kiss on her lips. Her eyes followed me as I disappeared I into the bathroom, and were waiting for me as I entered the room again. She took the pill, and the glass of water from me and finished it off. I pulled the covers back, letting her snuggle in and followed in next. My body instantly curled around hers.
"Night love." I whispered. She repeated the sentiment, and I could hear her drifting already.
Bella's POV-
I decided that I did not like flying. This had not been my first plane trip, but I hoped it was my last. Edward and I had overslept and barely had enough time to shower and make it to the airport this morning. With all the rushing around this morning, I forgot a few things and needed to make a trip to the local drugstore.
"Love, there's something I need to warn you about." Edwards voice suddenly rang through my headphones. I peered over at him, he looked very anxious and a little nervous. I was suddenly afraid of what was going to come out of his mouth.
"There is someone you should know about. She's going to go a little nuts, I assume." His words brought every fear I had ever had in a relationship to the surface. He took a look at my face a smiled.
"I'm not going to say that. I'm going to tell you about an ex-girlfriend who's a little crazy. Bella breathe." He joked, I slugged him on his arm. Even though I knew it wouldn't hurt him, I had to get my point a crossed.
"You ass, you scared the crap out of me." I screamed in a whisper. His crooked smile lit up his face.
"I'm glad you found it funny." But a giggle escaped my lips too. He was serious again.
"I'm serious Bella. Tanya is crazy. No telling what she will say to you." He warned. I was a little perplexed, why did he think I would even meet her.
"So are you assuming that we will even run into her?" I questioned, his eyes sank a little. More news I guessed.
"Well, my dad is chief of surgery at the hospital. So on Christmas eve we have to go to the children's benefit. You know nothing big, just a fancy dinner and cocktails after. But her dad works with my dad so, yeah we will be running into her." He explained, his voice trailing off at the end. He must have noticed the irritated look I was giving him. He had never mentioned that I would be needed a evening dress.
"I hope you're ready to do some shopping. Because I am so not prepared for this." I told him. He laughed a little.
"I'm sure mom would love to." He answered. We were finally on the ground again, and were gathering our things to exit the plane. Once off, his mom was not hard to find. She tackled me again.
"Oh how was the flight? How's your arm?" Esme shot at me. I smiled as she continued to hug me.
"Fine and fine. Its nice to see you again." I told her. Her eyes were twinkling as she pulled Edward into a tight hug.
"Have you been taking good care of her?" She asked, pointing a finger in his face.
"Yes mom." He smiled and kissed her cheek. After she explained that Carlisle was at work, and that the house was being decorated for a nice dinner, Esme gathered us into the car. I was explaining to her that I needed an evening gown for the benefit. She said she knew just where to go.
"Oh Bella, that is beautiful. It fits like a glove." Esme gasped as I stepped out of the dressing room. I had to agree with her, I don't think Edward will be able to keep his hands off of me. But he wasn't here, he had said he had some last minute Christmas shopping to do. And I can make this Tanya jealous at the same time. Esme was straightening out the hem line at my feet. This dress was a deep navy blue, with rhinestones in the bust. Just one thick strap held it on my shoulders, the empire waist settled just below my breasts and the skirt flowed nicely to the floor. And with it being and empire waist it gave me a slight curve to my slim figure. This dress was perfect.
