Chapter Ten

Edward P.O.V

"Are you sure you're going to be okay with this?" I asked Emmett as I parked outside his school. Crowds of kids were walking into the large building of Cleveland High School and I worried if he could really do this. His last year at Middle School hadn't gone so well, after our parents died I had to pull him out, since he refused to even leave his bedroom.

"It's fine, Edward." Emmett moaned, assuring me. I smiled at him and turned back to look at the kids walking into school and was shocked to see Bella mixed in the crowd. She looked different, in school she actually looked more like a teacher, wearing a skirt, blouse and high-heels, with her hair tied up in a messy bun. She noticed Emmett and I in the car and turned to wave and I grinned back.

"Go in with Bella, she'll show you around." I told Emmett, who nodded. He opened the car door as Bella waited for him, then I watched them both walk into school together. It was hard to watch him leave, I hoped nothing bad would happen but I knew that it would be okay since Bella was there for him.

I went home to find most of the house still packed away in boxes, I hadn't had time to finish things off yesterday, since Emmett and I spent most of the day out with Bella. Emmett's room was unpacked, as well as mine, my office and the bathrooms. All I had to finish off today was the kitchen, den and living room.

I started with the living room, which Emmett and I preferred to call a sitting area, since it really only had a fire-place, and a couple of couches surrounding a large coffee table. The den was more of a games room, with our large flat screen tv, more couches and some game chairs, with an Xbox, Wii and PS3. I think that was Emmett's favorite room in the house.

The kitchen seemed to be Bella's favorite, it was huge and modern, with a black and white color theme to it. I don't know why we had such a grand kitchen when I couldn't cook, but Bella was slowly helping me learn, when we didn't get distracted by food fights. The back yard was my favorite, since it had a large porch with a couple of seats, so that we had a good view of our large yard and the woods behind our house.

When I was finally finished with everything else that needed to be done, I went to meet Jeff for one last time. I would be officially selling my apartment today, meaning that I would be getting another large cash sum. I wasn't sure what to do with all the money, most of it paid for the bills but now that I was going to be working as a doctor, I didn't really need my parents' money anymore.

I set up another bank account for Emmett, putting almost all of our parents' money in that, along with the money I would be getting for the apartment. I hoped that he would use it for college, or his own house in the future, maybe even his first car? But I wasn't sure, in the end it was his money after all, half of everything our parents left us was his.

"It's been a pleasure working with you, Mr Cullen." Jeff told me once I had signed everything I had to and gave back my keys.

"For me too. Thank you for everything, Jeff."

"You're welcome, Edward. Good luck with everything," he replied as I walked out of the real estate agents. It was almost time to go and get Emmett, so after stopping for a coffee in a nearby café, I parked outside his school to wait for him. The bell rang and a huge crowd of kids were running out, looking happy to get home. Emmett was one of the last to exit the school, though he was walking next to Bella.

They both noticed me and Bella waved again, smiling at me as she walked over to her car. I grinned back and Emmett got into my car, looking unusually happy.

"How was it?" I asked him.

"Good," he shrugged, making me suspicious.

"What are you not telling me?"

"Guess who's my English teacher?" He asked back, wiggling his eyebrows.

"Bella," I laughed.

"Oh no, it's Miss Swan in school." Emmett replied, making me chuckle at his sarcasm.

When Emmett told me this, my first reaction was to be happy but when I really thought about what this meant, I began to worry. This meant that Bella was dating one of her student's legal guardian, was that even allowed? And how would this effect Emmett? Sure, I loved the thought of Bella being able to help him in class and stuff, but what if something happened between Bella and I and she took it out on him for the next year?

Or, maybe I was just overreacting?

Around an hour after Emmett and I got home, I heard a knock at my door and opened to find Bella, who was really just who I needed to calm me down.

"What's wrong?" She asked me as soon as I answered the door. While Emmett was in his room, I ushered Bella into mine so that I could speak to her.

"Emmett told me about you being his teacher," I explained.

"Yeah?"

"Will this not get you into trouble?" I asked her and Bella looked torn.

"Not really, it's not illegal," she answered. "I might be looked down on by some teachers, they might think that I'm favoring Emmett in class or something, but how are they going to find out that we're dating anyway?"

"That's true. I just don't want you to get in trouble because of us."

"It's sweet of you to worry about me, but it will be fine." Bella assured me, reaching up to kiss me. I leaned down to meet her and moaned when our lips began to move in sync. I had missed her today, which was strange, since I saw her almost everyday but this time was different. Bella's hands, reached into my hair and she trailed them around my head, pulling at the ends of my hair.

Bella and I hadn't gotten any further than our heated make-out sessions in my room, even when she stayed over the other night, we had stayed in our clothes and only slept together, nothing else. I was glad for that, I wasn't ready to jump straight into bed with Bella, especially since I had only had sex with one girl in my entire life and that experience didn't go very well.

I thought about Bella past boyfriends and wondered which one she would have had sex with, until I realized how horrible those thoughts were and how jealous they made me. I mean, I didn't care about her past boyfriends but I didn't exactly want to think of them with her. I thought that was true until I asked her later on that night.

"How many boyfriends have you had?" I asked as we laid in my bed, after having dinner and watching a movie, Emmett was in his bed down the hall so we had to be quiet. I almost hit myself immediately after I asked that. I mean Bella wasn't even my girlfriend yet, we were only dating and I just demanded that question out of her.

"One," she answered.

"Really?" I asked in surprise. I really didn't expect that.

"Yes, why? How many girlfriends have you had?"

"Two, though one was in eighth grade so I wouldn't really count that," I explained, making Bella giggle.

"What was his name?" I asked her, curious to hear more.

"Jacob, we dated for about a year."

"What happened between you both?"

Bella looked upset and she turned away from me, shocking me. "Sorry, you don't have to answer that." I whispered.

"No, it's fine. It's just embarrassing," she explained, looking back at me as she blushed.

"I won't judge," I promised.

"He used to be my best friend and when I turned seventeen, we started dating. By the time I was eighteen we had sex and he thought he loved me, but I rejected him and couldn't say it back. Jacob was so certain that he wanted to stay in Forks and live there for the rest of his life and I didn't want that. I left for college a week later and told him I wanted to be friends, but he's never spoke to me since."

I couldn't help the jealousy I felt towards this Jacob. I wondered if he was better looking than me, probably stronger too and a lot more emotionally stable. I believed that part about Bella rejecting him, not that I was saying she did it deliberately because she wouldn't have, but I knew that she had probably broke a few other boys heart's without realizing.

"Well, my story is worse," I laughed, trying to cheer her up.

"How? What happened with your girlfriend?" She asked.

"Her name was Tanya and I met her in college. I dated her for about a month and one night, Jasper and I got drunk at a bar when she was there. We ended up going home and I slept with her, though I was barely conscious and I can't remember it. It must have been a horrible night for her too because when I woke up in the morning, she was covered in my sick and broke up with me that same day," I explained, blushing a bright red.

"Oh my god," Bella whispered, giggling silently.

"Hey, no laughing!" I said, getting embarrassed but I was chucking too.

I hoped story time was over now.
