Chapter 9
A Kiss is Just a Kiss
"I'm so sorry Bells, we are swamped here, there was a wolf attack"
"What?" Bella says into her cell with her eyes wide. "A wolf attacked a person?"
"Not a person, a family of bears" Charlie explains. "Keep that pepper spray near"
Edward watches her pace as she speaks to her father. A wolf he wonders where the heck they are living…right Forks.
"Never mind the spray, I'll bring home a club for you, let me call Jake and see if he can pick you up"
"No, it's okay Dad" She turns and looks at Edward.
He mouths 'I can take you', Edward watches her nod.
"Are you going to get a ride from a friend in class?"
Bella rolls her eyes; she doesn't have friends in this class but can't bother to explain that now to her father. "Mr. Cullen has been waiting with me, he can drive me home"
"Oh that would be great, tell him thank you"
"I will" Bella says. "I'll see you when you get in, be safe"
"You be safe, lock the doors, get Edward to walk you to the door"
Bella smiles a bit. "Dad I think I'll make it from his car to the door without getting attacked by a wolf"
"Bella this is not a joke"
"Yeah I know, be safe, see you in the morning"
"Love you kid"
"Love you too dad" She says softly. "Bye" She adds hanging up.
Edward watches her shove her phone into her pocket.
"You don't have to take me Edward"
"Yes I do"
"I can walk" She feels so young, everyone else has driven off in their cars. And she has to depend on her father who is stuck at work. Walking would make her feel better. More adult.
"You're not walking Bella, get in" It has turned dark already. The days are so much shorter now. Edward pulls the doors open, he stands looking at her and waiting for her move.
Bella walks to his car. "Thanks" She mutters sliding into the front seat and buckling in. She watches him jog around the other side and get in.
"Are you warm enough?" It is cold and damp in Forks as it is, adding the winter season makes it a bit harsher.
"Little cold"
"And you wanted to walk" He rolls his eyes and smirks at her, as he fiddles with the heat. He knows she wants to be older, hell he wants that too. But she doesn't need to be embarrassed about anything. She really is perfect, young but perfect.
"I just didn't want you to think I was a child and had to depend on my Dad to get me"
Edward turns his head as he starts up his car. "Bella, you are a young girl but you're not a child, I don't think you are a child, crazy for wanting to walk, yes" He points out.
"Good crazy?" Bella finally smiles.
Edward laughs and drives off.
Edward parks in front of her house. "Here we are"
Bella sighs and turns to look at him, her belt is unlocked. "Edward" It feels so incomplete right now. She doesn't know why but her heart is pounding. She is in desperate need of something.
"I need to tell you I'm sorry, again" He needs to say this.
"Why?" Her eyes float over his form.
"For feeling like I do for you" He knows what these feelings are now.
"How do you feel…really?" She pushes softly; she looks at his profile and can see he is struggling. His brow is furrowed, eyes are tense. He already told her he feels 'it' whatever it is.
"I couldn't explain it before" He starts, his eyes cast down, ashamed.
Bella stares at him. "Look at me" She urges. She watches him turn his face and eyes up to hers. Maybe hearing his 'it' will explain her 'it'. This is all new to her and she needs help through these feelings.
"I didn't want to explain it; I didn't want the feelings to be real" He so very much wanted it to be fleeting.
"What is it you feel?"
"Protective, jealous, needy"
Bella bites her lip and nods watching him, his lips, mouth, and his words.
"And I'm sorry"
"Feelings aren't wrong"
He shuts his eyes lightly for a moment, this girl is comforting him. "Bella they are, these are, I shouldn't be here sitting with you, putting this on you" He should be suppressing and dealing with alone.
"What if, if I feel the same way, are they still wrong?" She knows the answer, she knows the law.
"Yes" He opens his eyes and looks at her. "So very wrong" His hand touches her warm cheek.
"I'm needy too, and jealous" She is of Mrs. Mallory-Booth, and the other female teachers around him, even Victoria. Victoria is 18 and closer to his age than she is. Anyone woman, girl, he comes in contact with. Any woman smarter than her, older than her, she feels the strike of jealousy in her belly.
"Bella"
She bites her lip, licks them, suddenly she thrusts her body towards his, completely ungracefully.
Edward pulls back shocked but her hands gripping his face stopping him, she lips crush to his, her teeth bang into his.
Pulling back she pants a bit and gasps with wide eyes. "That was awful" She states looking at her lap. "It wasn't good" She looks at him, her fingers touch her lips.
"No, it wasn't" He smiles licking his lips.
Bella looks away. "It was my first time, you know" Her voice grows annoyed with him at the end.
And in this very moment, this single moment he knows, he loves her. Edward shakes his head. "I know, let me show you"
Turning back to look at him, she feels him cup the side of her face again gently.
"Let me show you how" He mutters staring at her.
His hand is so warm, her skin feels like it's on fire. The console between them and the wheel in front of him is a slight hindrance, but she follows his lead. He brings her face closer to his and he moves closer to hers. Her eyes are wide and hopefully as she stares into his. She wonders for a second if she should shut them. She is excited. She can't correctly describe the feelings running through her body in this very moment.
Edward stops their movements, his lips mere inches from hers, she smells like heaven. He is going to hell. His eyes watch as she licks her lips eagerly. "Bella" He breathes.
The warmth of his breath floats over her lips.
"When we start this" It is a whole other level, different from the tiny touches, the texting, the quoted words, the feelings kept, mostly repressed. It is a new dimension, a new division.
"I want this" She says leaning in a bit closer. "I do" She breathes out. So close.
"Bella" Edward stares at her eyes. "Don't move" He whispers.
Nodding a tiny bit she feels his fingers tighten at the side of her face, slightly in her loose hair. Her breath hitches when his lips touch hers. She feels this tingling from her lips, down her throat, over her chest, in the pit of her stomach, to her toes.
Edward captures her soft lips gently. She feels magnificent. "Open your mouth" He whispers quickly, his heart is pounding against his chest. He could lose himself in her so quickly and rush this. Ruin it. He holds it together, savoring her. All of it for her.
Her eyes fall shut, she feels his other hand cup the other side of her face and control her lightly. It is a push and pull, so gentle and sweet.
He gently sucks her lips, kisses them, and lets his tongue stroke against hers soothingly, deliberately, and painstakingly slow. It is pleasure.
After a moment she gets the hang of it, she takes from him, and gives, her hands move to press against his chest. A finger strokes his throat, her eyes are shut but her body knows what it is doing, knows where it is going now.
He kisses her upper lip once again knowing she needs air. Edward pulls back slowly, his eyes open and he looks at her for a moment.
She pulls back along with him, her face still held by his warm hands. She stares at him completely satisfied
Edward watches her, her lips damp and slightly parted, as she breathes.
"That was…good"
Edward grins at her. "You should be kissed and often, and by someone who knows how."
Bella lies in bed and touches her lips; she can't shut her mind down. It is only 9pm, she needs to call Alice and Angela and squeal to them about it, but she can't. So she lies in bed and touches her mouth. She lets her thumb and forefinger lightly tug at her lower lip. Dropping her hand Bella now touches her lip with her tongue. She can still taste everything.
Edward stands in the shower and drops his head. His hands on the shower wall as he thinks about today, tonight, Bella. Her lips, her eyes, how she tastes, and about how completely fucked he is.
'I can't stop thinking about kissing you' Bella types and bites her lower lip. Her hands shake worried, worried he will think she is too young, push her away again. Not answer her because he regrets tonight.
She doesn't have to wait long.
'Your lips are bewitching'
She smiles and clutches her phone to her chest before typing again. 'Thank you'
'Thank you Bella'
'Are you going to kiss me again?' She needs to know if this was a onetime thing; it doesn't feel like a onetime thing. She is desperate for another kiss now.
'I told you, I don't know how to quit you'
'So yes?'
'Yes, get some rest – x'
She isn't sure she can sleep tonight.
GAH, I hope it was all that you hoped for!
& that you like and will review!
