RENEE, CHARLIE AND LOVE
Our night was spent in love and by the morning, I was ready to face my second new life with Edward in our new home where I was mistress.
Edward arose and pulled me into the shower with him and made me giggle and laugh as he scrubbed me down. He had pulled all the pins out of my hair during the night and soon it hung straight again. He then wrapped me in a warm fluffy towel, dried me off and then himself, discarding the towel on the floor. He sat me at the vanity and brushed my hair, I couldn't stand to be so close to him with his naked body towering over me. I turned to him and kissed him where I reached and stood up, kissing him on the way up. He pulled me up to stand on the stool and proceeded to kiss my body, I shivered and suddenly we were on the bed making love again. This was all I wanted, this was enough.
We eventually dressed, he directed me on what I should wear but my hair he said was beautiful enough.
Alice called and he let me talk to her while he listened, I was excited to tell her about my new home even though she already knew and had probably even been here before me, she listened patiently to my chatter, We even have a chauffeur, butler and a housekeeper, I said grimacing to Edward, who laughed.
"Do you have any complaints?" she asked.
"None that I dare mention or even think," I answered, and she laughed.
The day was gloomy, so we were able to go over to the school and register that we had arrived. We received our class schedule which Edward checked carefully and was satisfied that no mistakes were made. We had all our books and equipment already and so we were finished in no time. William was waiting for us and Edward directed him to tour around the city indicating to us where the stores etc. were located. Of course Edward had a photographic memory but I found that I was able to remember as well. I guess my memory had improved, and that should help with school.
We were done by lunch time and we were driven home. Edward dismissed the human so he could go eat and we went inside. The house had obviously been dusted and tidied, our bed had been made and the bathroom picked up.
Edward took me to the study and showed me the computer, which was mine.
"This is yours to do what you want with, you can E-mail your parents, write papers, and shop on line for anything you need, do what ever you want. You can even write out a journal and put all your frustrations down if that will help relieve your suffering, I promise that it is private for you and I will not ask to see it. I want you to talk to me though and tell me all your thoughts as before, please don't hold anything back. Remember you promised," I nodded, "I know this is hard for you but please forgive me for being so controlling, you know I love you."
"Edward, I love you too and you don't have to apologize to me. This is what I wanted even though it was hard for you to do this to me and I won't write in a journal with anything you can't read. You know I'm frustrated, even though I try hard not to show it, but I can work through it. Just love me and I'll do anything in the world you ask of me, for us to be happy. The absolutely only thing I want from you is your love, everything else I can live without; I only want you. You can give me the moon, but I would refuse it without you being with me, if we were naked on a desert island just you and me, I would be happy."
I started to pull of my clothes but he stopped me, "Not yet my love, you have things to do first," he kissed me gently on my lips and looked at me smiling his crooked smile, "You certainly know how to turn me on witch," he laughed.
"What can be more important than making love?" I grumbled.
"Nothing, but you have to put things into perspective remember. Didn't Alice give you that speech, you need to prioritize?" He looked at my face and obviously couldn't resist kissing me again.
"If you kiss me one more time, we're heading to the bedroom, Prince Charming," I said, "I'm definitely becoming frustrated in love."
He did kiss me again, not as gently, and picked me up and headed for our bedroom, "We'll have to put things off till later," he said, "I'm frustrated in love too."
He helped me undress and I lay on the bed while he undressed and then we made love until he decided we had to put things in perspective and continue with his plan of things to do. He wore his pants and I threw on a pair of sweats and we went back to the office.
The plan was for me to E-mail my parents to let them know what I was doing, when I logged in, I found countless E-mails from Renee. He laughed when he saw the pile I had to wade through.
"I guess that's going to keep you busy for a while," he said.
Mostly, Renee was upset because I hadn't answered her E-mail. I proceeded to do that, and explained why I hadn't answered her sooner. This was mostly because I hadn't had access to a computer; "I don't live with Charlie anymore," I wrote "And I wasn't able to visit him because we were preparing for Dartmouth, there wasn't much time between our honeymoon and leaving for Dartmouth. I called him and he's fine and I plan to E-mail him too." I said. I told her about our trip to buy clothes and school supplies and how much fun we had. I told her how Edward spoiled me and that I loved him very much. I mentioned that Jacob had a French girl and seemed happy. At this point Edward came over to me and kissed my hair, I made him come and sit beside me but then he started distracting me and I sent him away reluctantly.
I told Renee about Dartmouth and all about my new home, I didn't want to brag too much so I left out about the servants, the pool, the dance room and exactly how large the house was. I made it seem like a quaint country cottage with a couple of bedrooms, perfect for a couple of newlyweds.
I told her we would be starting school soon and would probably be busy studying and taking tests etc., so not to worry if I didn't E-mail right away. I told her my new in-laws were great, but that I missed her and Charlie. Then I ended.
I became a little depressed and wondered if it would ever be possible to see my parents again in person. I thought I could see them from a distance but for Renee to touch me up close would not be possible because of the changes in my body and she would have to touch me. Charlie would probably not be so observant. How long could I put them off? Would I have to fake my death?
I was deep in thought when Edward came in the room.
"Is it because I left the room you became so somber?" he sat beside me and held me.
I sighed, "I'm just wondering about my parents and how long I can put them off."
"I'm not sure, Bella, I would imagine Renee will want to visit you at some point, we'll have to come up with a plan."
"I don't want to hurt them by faking my death and Renee is very observant when it comes to me," I said ruefully.
"We can put them off at least until the summer and hopefully with Alice's help we can come up with a plan," he said smiling now, "You still have to E-mail Charlie, so come on now, we have other things to do, he shook me to snap me out of my somber mood and then pulled my hair playfully. It worked I laughed.
I didn't have an E-mail address for Charlie so I ended up calling him. He asked me how Dartmouth was and I told him, "Where are you living," he asked.
"In a house that Edward bought for me," I answered.
"You're kidding!" he exclaimed, "He really knows how to take care of my girl."
"Edward takes care of me very well, in fact he spoils me," I said proudly.
I remembered Charlie's reluctance to my involvement with Edward and I was glad he now approved.
"I guess you did make the right choice then," he said happily.
"Dad," I said, "I have absolutely no regrets,"
I looked up at Edward who was twirling my hair and starting to get rambunctious obviously wanting me to end the call. Next he unzipped my sweats, pulled off the top and started caressing my bare skin and kissing me everywhere.
"Dad I have to go," I said urgently, "Edward needs me."
"Wait," Charlie said.
Edward had pushed me against the wall and was already making love to me.
"Edward, stop a minute!" I exclaimed to no avail. He wasn't going to stop and I really didn't want him to but I had to get off the phone with Charlie. In between being showered with kisses and touched in places to give me goose bumps, I forced myself to say to Charlie, "I'll call you back Dad, I promise, I love you," then hung up. Edward took the phone from my hand, threw it somewhere, my legs somehow ended up around Edward's hips and he carried me to the bed where our love making continued until we were both satisfied.
Later, he asked me, "Why did you say stop, you said you'd never say that?"
"I didn't want you to stop but I was still on the phone with Charlie."
"I guess I was too impatient," he said grinning at me.
"I love when you're impatient, please be impatient any time you like," he tickled me and I jumped off the bed. We started running all over the house, he chased me, catching me of course and then we made love all over again.
By this time, the sun was setting and as the day was still dull he carried me out to the pool, dumping me in the water and diving in to retrieve me. We swam for a while until he couldn't keep his hands off me. He pulled me under the water telling me not to breathe. It was quiet down there and strange to me not to need to breathe. He made love to me down there too and we floated through the water. Even though the water was cold, I didn't notice because I was cold blooded myself now. We came up out of the water and started breathing again. Our nakedness seemed so natural and I didn't mind when I noticed a curtain at William's home move slightly. We ran around the pool, chasing each other and then jumping or diving in and swimming away from or towards each other. We enjoyed each others company very much.
We went in the house finally and snuggled up by the fire wrapped in towels. Edward let me call Charlie back, so we could finish our conversation. Charlie wanted to tell me about Jacob.
"Did you know Jacob has a girl now?" Charlie asked,
"Yes," I said warily, I didn't want Charlie to know I had been to La Push to see Jacob and not stopped by to see him.
"Her name is Michelle and she's French, she doesn't speak a word of English," he said.
"I suppose it isn't necessary to communicate in words if you love each other," I said.
"I suppose not," Charlie said doubtfully.
"Have you met her?" I asked curiously.
"Yes, as a matter of fact," Charlie said.
"And…?" I then he felt my body relax and respond to his kisses. He let my arms go questioned impatiently.
"She seems nice enough but I felt awkward, not knowing what to say to her."
"I hope you didn't make Jacob uncomfortable, Dad." I said knowingly.
"Jacob doesn't care," he said, "What was so important you couldn't finish talking to me before?"
I looked at Edward and he was laughing, "Edward and I had something extremely important to do that couldn't wait," I said truthfully.
"I suppose you'll get over your frolicking behavior before too long," he obviously knew what we did.
"I hope I never get over that Dad," I looked at Edward again and he was still laughing; I stuck my tongue out at him.
"Well I'd better go and leave you two to frolic some more I guess," and he laughed.
I remembered something, then, "Do you have an E-mail address Dad?"
"I'm not a computer person, so you'll just have to call me when you get chance," he said.
"OK, Dad, I'll call you again soon, Love you." My mood saddened as I hung up.
I leaned on Edward and sighed but he was determined to cheer me up.
"Didn't you hear what Charlie said?" he asked smiling.
"What?" I asked morosely.
"He said we should frolic some more," he threw the towels off us and proceeded to kiss me every where, I let him but I was still sad. Even through my sadness, I allowed him to make love to me always wanting more.
"I love you Edward," I said.
"Are you happier now?" he asked looking into my eyes.
"I'm still a little depressed but I promise I'll get over it soon,"
His fervor over powered my depression and soon I was myself again. He started laughing and I started giggling at absolutely nothing. I ran over to the piano, pulling him with me and wanting him to play something. He sat down beside me and started to play to me. He played mostly classical pieces, a little jazz and some more modern tunes. He then played his compositions including my lullaby.
He suddenly stopped playing and pulled me into the dance room. He ran over to the CD's and found one which he played, it was a waltz and he pulled me to him and started to dance with me. I tried to watch my feet but he pulled my head up and positioned my arms, he then led me around the dance floor until we collapsed laughing on the floor because my feet wouldn't do what he wanted them to. He started tickling me and soon I cried for mercy between giggles. The wood floor was hard and we soon went to our bed loving each other until the morning as the CD continued to play quietly.
