Chapter 10
EPOV
I was lying on my sofa thinking about Bella, to be honest I was doing that a hell of a lot lately. She was always on my mind. Me and Alice had spent a lot of time with her over the past week or so and each moment with her I realised I liked her more and more.
I thought back to last Saturday; we had all decided to go shopping in Port Angeles. Bella had wanted some more random items to place in her bedroom, she said it still didn't feel quite like hers. The drive there had been pleasant. We listened to the radio and fell into casual conversation.
"So Bella, what exactly do you want to buy?" asked Alice.
"Oh you know, just a few random things like maybe a lamp and a few posters, some new bedding would be cool too, oooo and I want to get a few CDs." she listed the items off getting excited as she continued.
"CDs?" Alice asked her face scrunching up in distaste.
"Yes Alice CDs."
"Why don't you just download the music instead?" Bella gave her a horrified look. I just laughed.
"Because Alice I happen to enjoy CDs."
"I'm going to have to agree with Bella on this one Alice, there's just something more personal about a CD." I piped in.
"Oh shut up Edward, you're both just music snobs."
"I am not a music snob" Bella argued back.
"What's so special about CDs?"
"You can hold them in your hand for one." Bella replied.
"Yeah and there's always the art work on the cover." I added Bella nodding in agreement.
"You can't get a download signed." she pointed out. We were just smiling at each other now stating thing we liked about a CD, Alice almost forgotten in the conversation.
"You just can't beat wondering around a shop just browsing at all the albums."
"Yeah, especially if they have those ear phone thingies that let you listen to the CD."
"Exactly."
"I used to be able to spend a whole day in a record shop just listening to the music." Bella sighed.
"Me too." I replied smiling at her, getting lost in her gaze. She looked amazing when she spoke about things she was passionate for, her face would look determined yet she would get a far off look in her eyes and would nibble her lip. I wanted to nibble her lip.
"But downloads are so much easier." Alice whined from the drivers seat. Bella jumped at the sound of Alice's voice. She seemed to of forgotten Alice's presence as well.
"How are they easier?" Bella challenged.
"You just shove them on your ipod and you're done, music whenever and where ever you want."
"You do realise you could just rip the album on to your computer if you want it on your ipod so bad." I pointed out.
Alice was pulling into a parking space now, it seemed we were here, weird, I hadn't even noticed, I was so lost in talking with Bella.
"Oh just shut up and stop ganging up on me." Alice complained sticking her tongue out at us causing Bella to burst into a fit of giggles.
"Wow Alice that's real mature, you do realise you look like you're 10 years old when you do that right?" Bella stated.
"I tell her all the time." I sighed mockingly causing another round of giggles. I got out of the car and walked to Bella's side to open her door for her. She seemed confused at first but took my hand when she realised what I was doing. That jolt of static was there again as I helped her out of the car. Whenever we touched it just felt like magic, as lame a word as that was to use to describe what happened, it seemed the easiest. Because that's what it was, Bella seemed to cast a spell over me and it was re-enforced with every small touch we shared.
Alice decided we should shop for bedding first which we managed to finish pretty quickly. Bella had chosen a simple black set, she figured if black went with everything clothes wise then why couldn't it be the same with decorating, Alice scoffed at her reasoning but let Bella buy the set anyway.
Next was lamps. Bella headed straight for the novelty ones, Alice's face looked horrified.
"Oooo it's so cute, I used to love this show when I was little." Bella announced pointing at a care bears one.
"Bella that is not cute, that's tacky." Alice replied.
"Come on Alice, didn't you watch anything like that when you were little?"
"I don't really remember to be honest." The smile on Alice's face fell a little, I didn't need to look into her thoughts to see she was thinking about her lack of human memories. Alice would never be able to gush over something like the lamp the same way Bella had.
"What colour are you walls?" questioned Alice. Bella looked sheepish.
"Erm they're sort of covered in Power Rangers wallpaper." she looked towards the ground as a blush took over her pale skin. I burst out laughing, only Bella would have wallpaper like that.
"Hey you," she said poking me in the chest, "don't mock the Power Rangers, they were mighty and they morphed, plus I always had a crush on Tommy." I tried to stifle my laughs but it was hard and she looked so damn cute, all embarrassed and defensive.
"How are we meant to get a lamp to match that?" Alice groaned.
"I don't know," Bella looked thoughtful, "I don't think they'd sell Power Rangers lamps anymore." Bella actually looked sad at this point I could help but laugh again. She shot me a glare so I tried to make it up to her. I spotted a Power Rangers lamp and dragged her towards it looking pretty pleased with myself I must add. Bella's glare just got worse when she spotted it.
"What's wrong with it?" I asked.
"Edward, those are not Power Rangers." she announced.
"Sure they are, look it says Power Rangers: RMP." I pointed out.
"Those aren't real Power Rangers," Bella repeated. Okay now I was totally confused.
"The only real Power Rangers worthy enough to call them selves that were the Mighty Morphing Power Rangers, well until they replaced Kimberly anyway, I still have no idea why they did that, that other pink ranger sucked." I truly had no idea what the hell she was going on about now, but I couldn't help but be enthralled by her mini rant about a TV show made for kids.
"Okay, enough talk about shows that ended like 10 years ago. Why don't you just get a plain black lamp?" Alice reasoned. Bella looked defeated.
"I guess, but I have to get a lava lamp as well."
"It's your choice," Alice replied. Bella's face lit up.
"I just need to buy a few clothes for me and Jasper," Alice announced as awe walked into some high end clothing store. Me and Bella just trailed behind as she browsed through the racks of clothing. Bella was clearly getting quite bored already. Her eyes were just wondering around the store trying to find something at least mildly amusing to do. She suddenly had a devious smirk on her face.
"What?" I asked. She just smiled at me and grabbed my hand, dragging me towards the accessories.
"Here," She stated while placing a hideous hat on my head. The hat looked like the type of thing some elderly lady would wear to a garden party. I turned to look in the mirror and couldn't help but laugh; I looked ridiculous.
"You should definitely buy that," Bella stated completely straight faced "it totally suits you."
"I should, sexy right?" I asked grinning at her.
"Totally." Bella picked up some over sized sunglasses. She stepped closer and her hands reached up and delicately placed the sunglasses on my face, she was that close I could feel her warm breath fanning over my face, I just stared at her, lost in the feeling of having her near me. A small smile spread across her face.
"Perfect." she breathed.
"Prefect." I replied, not really talking about the accessories. Bella took out her cell-phone.
"Smile." she ordered as she took a picture of my ridiculous get up. I laughed again, that seemed to be all I did around Bella, she brightened my day so easily. I grabbed a near by trucker hat and placed it backwards on her head. She turned to face the mirror.
"Nice." she stated. She turned the hat to face the right way. " I think I need a beer belly to pull this look of properly though." she decided. She was still looking in the mirror and took off her jacket and shoved it up her shirt. "What do you think?" she grinned.
"I think that's a great look for you," I replied. I stood behind her and reached for a small lock of hair. It felt so soft under my finger tips. I pulled the hair across her face, under her nose to give her one of those pretend moustaches. "Much better." I declared.
Alice chose this moment to walk over. "Are you to done laying dress up then?" Bella and I smirked at each other before removing our accessories and following Alice out of the store.
I continued thinking on my sofa about all the time we'd spent together and I don't know when it happened, but I'd somehow fallen in love with her. She was everything I could possibly want and more. She brightened my day just by being there. She had become my life now. I had no idea what to do though. Should I carry on the way I am and just be grateful to be in her life as a friend? Tell her how I feel and let her do what she chooses with that information or leave her be and run away. I knew that last option was unthinkable, I couldn't leave her now; I was in too deep. But she's human, a relationship with me would be far from safe. Would she run if she found out what I was? Maybe carrying on as we were was the best option for now. It was safer for both parties involved that way.
I was brought out of my internal dilemma by the sound of my phone ringing.
"Hello?"
"EDWARD!!" I moved the phone away from my ear.
"Bella? Is that you?"
"Duh."
"Are you ok?" I asked, she sounded strange.
"I'm fuck-awesome, you?" I could tell now she was drunk.
"I'm fine. And to what do I owe the pleasure of this phone call?"
"Well…. Me and the girls were wondering if you wanted to come round?"
"I'm not sure." On one hand seeing Bella again always made me happy but then again, what was she like drunk. I'm not sure I could handle another incident like in biology without snapping.
"Pleeeeeease." she begged.
"Fine." I sighed. At least Alice was there to keep things under control. I hoped anyway.
As I was walking up to Bella's front door I could hear that I was the subject of conversation. I could see from one of Bella's friends minds that she had called me sexy earlier on. That thought made me smile. Alice could tell I was nearly there but decided not to mention anything. I was curious to see where this conversation would lead.
"Okay so he's sexy. What else?" asked a girl called Christine.
"Yeah Bella, what do you really think of my brother, hold nothing back." smirked Alice.
"You guys are so nosey." whined Bella
"Come on Bella, I've never seen you like this over some guy unless he was one of those actors on your bedroom wall." pleaded Steph.
"Ugh! Fine! But no teasing." she ordered.
"Fine no teasing." they agreed.
"He's just," she paused to think, "he's amazing." she sighed. "he's funny and sweet, he has great manners, he always seems to put others first, he's loyal, he's….he's everything you could possibly want. He's perfect." she looked down at her hands embarrassed.
"Oh my god Bella," Bella turned to look at Alice, "Bella, you love him." she announced. I felt my heart soar at those words. I was none of the things Bella had mentioned but it gave me hope that she believed I was. Maybe Alice was right, Bella does have feelings for me.
"Don't be silly Alice." Bella mumbled, and with that I lost that hope and felt my heart was being burnt. Of course she wouldn't love me, she might not know I'm a monster, but Bella is a smart woman, she can guess these things. Ignore that Edward, she does love you, I can tell. Her eyes were sparkling while she spoke about you. She's just embarrassed around us. Give her some time. Why don't you just wait out there for like 10 more minutes and I'll see what I can get out of her, she's still tipsy. I decided to go along with Alice's plan, what did I have to loose? I knew going in there now would make Bella feel uncomfortable having just spoke about me like that.
"How about some snacks?" Alice asked. "Edward should be here soon. We should get comfy and stuff."
"Good idea Alice." Shalinda said "I can't wait to meet Mr perfect." she giggled.
"Bella, can you come help me?" asked Alice.
"Oh erm, sure." Bella replied. She'd been lost in her head it would seem. They both went into the kitchen and Bella started going through the fridge to try and find some dip for the chips.
"Bella," Alice said in a sing song voice, "you know you can tell me the truth right."
"I don't know what you mean Alice." she dismissed.
"Bella, you love Edward, you may not of admitted it to yourself yet, but I can tell."
"Alice, I'm scared." Bella admitted. Why was she scared? I wanted to go in the kitchen to hold her and tell her she'll be ok.
"Why?"
"Because I've never felt like this." she whispered. I could see tears forming in the corners of her eyes. I had to grip the tree next to me to stop my self from going to comfort her.
"He's all I think about Alice, when he's near me I don't see anything else, he overloads my senses. I feel safe near him. I feel like a crazy person and I've become obsessed."
"Why does that scare you Bella?" Alice asked.
"How could he ever feel the same?" she cried. Alice pulled her into a hug.
"Bella, never assume things like that. I've told you before that you don't see what we see." Bella just shook her head.
"Alice, he's perfect and amazing and I'm plain and boring, how could he feel like that."
"Oh shut up and stop being stupid Bella. You are far from plain and boring. Personally I think your beautiful, sweet, funny, kind, smart and your like the sister I wish I had. I know Edward thinks even more highly of you than I do."
"You clearly don't have very good eye-sight then." Alice just laughed at this.
"Trust me Bella, I have perfect eye-sight."
"I'm sorry I'm getting all depressed Alice," she said while wiping the tears off her eyes, "I blame the alcohol." she giggled trying to lighten the mood so they could go back into the living room.
"Bella, promise me you'll talk to Edward." she looked Bella in the eye.
"Alice please don't make me promise that."
"You don't need to tell him how strong your feelings are, just let him know you care, you might be surprised by his reaction." she smiled at Bella.
"Fine, but it's your fault if I end up humiliated."
"Sure Bella." she giggled as they walked back to join the other girls. I took this as my que to let my presence be known and finally made my way to the front door.
"Oh my god," squealed Christine "he's here"
"Shhh." Bella yelled back as I heard her make her way to the door.
"Edward." she breathed, a small smile playing on her lips. I couldn't help the grin that crossed my own face in response.
"Bella." I greeted.
"Oh," she seemed to suddenly remember her guests. "Guys, this is Edward," she announced, gesturing towards me. "Edward, this is Shalinda, Steph and Chrisy."
Holy shit, Bella was right thought Chrissy. Her thoughts began to get a bit x rated, something involving rope and ice cream, I decided to try and ignore her thoughts quite quickly. In all honesty, all of Bella's friends seemed to be thinking similar things.
"Do you want a drink?" Bella offered.
"Er, no thanks." I replied. She looked over towards the coffee table.
"Oh well' it looks like we're nearly out anyway." she giggled.
"Sooo," Alice began, "Now everyone's here, what are we going to do?"
"We could always just watch some TV or listen to some music." Bella offered.
"Music sounds good to me,"
"Ok, I'll just run up and get my laptop then." Bella ran upstairs as Alice made her way over.
"Hey, so did you like what you heard?" she asked quietly. I just smiled in response causing Alice to giggle.
"Everything is going to be perfect." she smiled.
"You can't know that Alice, you can't even see her." I responded, still worried about everything that could go wrong, and there was a lot that could go wrong.
"I can just feel it Edward, you guys are perfect for each other." Bella came back downstairs then holding her lap top. She opened up itunes and left it on shuffle.
"I thought you used CDs." Alice stated acting like she suddenly had the upper hand in our argument from the other day.
"Where do you think I got all these tracks from Alice?" she replied. Alice scowled slightly and stuck her tongue out, she hated being proved wrong, it happened about once every few decades but amazingly she wasn't being as bad about it this time. In the 70's when she had been proven wrong and she had locked herself in the room screaming at everyone for about a month.
Well all fell into a comfortable conversation. Bella's friends told embarrassing stories of their time in Phoenix and the many times that Bella had fallen over. Bella was red for about an hour after this. Me and Alice shared a few moments as well to make Bella feel better. Just being here with Bella, having fun felt so right. Logic was telling me it was wrong but for some reason I did something completely unlike me and chose to ignore it and just enjoy her presence.
"Okay snack time." Bella announced as she got up and made her way to the kitchen.
"I'll help." I offered following her. Bella suited her kitchen. It was quirky, just like her. The cupboards had been painted a sunflower yellow and the tiles around the sink had cows on them. There was even matching appliances like a cow shaped toastie maker and a blender that was white with black splodges on. Bella noticed me looking. And laughed at my baffled expression.
"Yeah, Charlie's girlfriend Carla noticed our cow tiles so she decided to make everything match." she explained. "I think they're cute anyway, even if the spots on the blender were hand painted on." she giggled.
Bella bent down to reach into the fridge to grab some snacks. I couldn't help the thoughts that immediately came to mind. I felt myself harden at the sight of Bella's behind. It was perfectly shaped. It bit my lip to prevent a moan from coming out. Bella was too beautiful for her own good. She pulled out a tray of chicken satay sticks and began to head back to the living room.
"Is there anything you need me to grab?" I asked immediately thinking of her bent in front of the fridge again.
"Oh yeah, could you grab the dip?" I nodded in reply. I went to the fridge to find the dip and Bella had returned to pick up a bag of chips. She walked past seeming distracted and tripped. I quickly, but not too quickly of course, turned around to catch her. Her warm body felt so right in my arms that were wrapped around her waist. It shocked me that her face never turned pink, she just stared up into my eyes, her breathing was coming in short, sharp spurts. Instinctively my head tilted towards hers. My mouth slowly inching closer to hers. The heat rolling of her body causing my mind to swirl with so many emotions, the most prominent 2 being lust and love. My face inched closer still. Her eyes began to flicker closed. I could feel her breath fanning my face, filling my lungs.
"You guys are taking your time!" someone yelled from the front room, effectively breaking us out of our trance. Bella chose this moment to blush pink.
"Oh, erm yeah, coming." She stuttered as she righted her self and grabbed the chips from the counter.
The chatter carried on for most of the night; neither me nor Bella mentioning the almost moment from the kitchen. Bella's friends began yawning and that signalled it was time for bed.
"Do you mind sleeping on the floor in here?" Bella asked.
"No problem." I replied. She disappeared upstairs with all the girls. I didn't expect her to come back down stairs carrying 2 blankets. I looked at her curiously.
"Your actually sat on my bed for the night." she explained looking at the sofa.
"Oh right," I exclaimed getting off and settling myself onto the floor. Bella had changed into her pyjamas. She was only wearing a small tank top and a tiny pair of shorts. I felt the stirring down below again and was thankful I'd already pulled the blanket over myself, saving me some embarrassment.
"Well goodnight then I guess." Bella said as she made her self comfortable on the sofa. I just sat and listened as her breathing slowly evened out meaning she'd fallen asleep. I just sat for about an hour listening to her breathing, it was hypnotising me, everything about this girl seemed to amaze me.
Bella's breathing got shallower, I assumed she was dreaming now. "Edward," she breathed. I felt my heart expand at this, if it was still beating then it would of surely skipped one. Bella was dreaming about me. "Ummm." she purred. Then I began to realise what type of dream this was. I felt my self harden instantaneously. I could smell her arousal filling the room. Bella began writhing on the sofa. I just lay there wide eyed trying to figure out what I should do. I need to relieve this pressure. I couldn't do it while she was right there, that was be wrong; yet I couldn't bring myself the leave the room and miss any of what was happening. She began writhing even more seemingly near the end of her dream. Suddenly she rolled off the sofa and landed directly on top of me. She awoke, startled.
"Shit," she muttered. "I'm so sorry if I just woke you up."
"It's no problem." I replied, my voice gravely. Bella had somehow landed in the exact position I had been imagining her in since I met her. She sat up slightly to get off me, her legs now straddling my thighs. That's when she felt my arousal pressing into her. I could feel the her heat through our clothing. Bella stilled. Her eyes getting darker.
I slowly lifted my hands and rested them lightly on the bare skin above her knees. My hands caressing her lower thigh. Slowly I ghosted my hands up her legs towards her hips. I could feel the moisture pooling in her underwear above where I wanted her. My eyes followed the path of my hands, drinking in the pale expanse of smooth skin underneath them. I moved my hands even higher, now caressing her waist. She felt delicate under my hands. My fingers brushed the outside of her breast and I heard her sharp intake of breath. Her hands reached out towards the lower part of my stomach, they were trembling slightly.
Tentatively her hands reached under my shirt and lightly ran over my muscles. I felt them clenching her under her touch. It felt like electricity was flowing straight out of her finger tips into my body. She slowly slid off my shirt has her hands reached higher and higher. I leaned up slightly, bring my torso closer to hers. I ran my fingers along her collar bone and gently caressed her slender neck. I began to lead her head down towards mine, moving at an excruciatingly slow pace. Her eyes flickered closed as my lips lightly met hers, leaving a feather light kiss. This time she moved her lips to mine her self leaving a slightly longer kiss. She let out a small desperate whimper and I pulled her back for a third time and kissed her with more force. Her lips began to move against mine has her small hands made there was to my hair and began to tug. I felt her tongue brush against my lower lip, I opened my mouth and my tongue met hers. She tasted amazing, nothing felt as good as this moment. The kiss began to get deeper and more frantic.
Bella began to gently thrust above me, creating friction that felt amazing against my arousal. I gently moved my hand down towards her chest and cupped her breast. She groaned as her chest arched into me. I moved one hand under the fabric of her tank top and was met with the bare skin of her perfect breast. I gently began to circle her nipple with my finger tip and she gasped. "God Edward, that feels amazing." My other hand reached back down to her hips as her thrust got harder. The dampness seeping through both our clothing covering my highly erect penis, covering it with the most amazing warmth. I used my hand to guide her movements, making them more forceful and faster.
I lifted her top above her head and threw it on the floor beside us. Leaning up I took her nipple in my mouth and began to gently suck, my tongue circling it. "Oh god." she moaned above me. I could feel my orgasm approaching, hoping to god Bella was close as well because I didn't know how much longer I could hold it off. Her thrusts got even faster. "So close." she gasped. I pulled her hips even closer, increasing the friction just that little bit more. Her mouth fell open and her eyes rolled to the back of her head. She shuddered above me. Bella's orgasm was the most erotic thing I'd ever seen. I let myself go and came along side her, releasing into my trousers. Bella collapsed against me out of breath.
"That was," she began breathlessly, "Fuck, that was amazing." I just nodded dumbly in reply, for the first time ever I had no words.
We just lay there in each others arms for 10 minutes trying to compose ourselves. "Edward?" Bella asked nervously.
"Yeah?"
"God this is going to sound lame." she sighed.
"What's wrong?"
"I like you." she blurted out. I chuckled, it was such a juvenile way to word it.
"I like you to." I kissed her softly on the nose.
"What are we? I know we're good friends, but after that I'm not sure I can let you be near me without giving me orgasms like that on a more regular basis."
"I would defiantly not object to that demand."
"I really do like you Edward, a lot. You make me feel happy and special, you make me laugh and I swear to god you make me horny as fuck."
"I could say the same about you Bella Swan." we smiled at each other. Her eyes were filled with emotions I couldn't name.
"Bella?" I asked.
"Hmmm,"
"Do you like me or like like me?" I joked. She laughed lightly hitting me on the chest.
"Definitely like like." she smiled at me.
"Me to." I leaned forwards and gently kissed her. "I'm not sure I could be able to go back to not doing this." I confessed as I kissed her along her jaw and down her neck. She leaned her head to the side to give me better access.
"Then don't." was her simple reply.
"Fine then," I smiled against her collar bone, "But that means you have to be my girlfriend." I chuckled.
