Ok, Emmet and Bella playing Guitar Hero will come abck as a flashback later on. I got it planned.
Also...
Have you guys heard "Umbrella" Mandy Moore's version? It's good and I would definitely suggest you guys check it out. Does it beat up Rihanna's version? No, they are both good but I feel that how Mandy sings it, you feel the more loving feeling behind the words, sentimental, whereas with Rihanna, it's more fun. Yea...Just a little music I thought I'd share. I like the lyrics as far as Edward and Bella are concerned too... If you don't like it, don't judge me by my musical taste. Trust me when I say I listen to everything.
Listening to right now: "Stop and stare" by OneRepublic. Oh yes, I'm feeling very 'music-y' right now.
One more! To me, it's a beautiful song. "Rule the World" by Take That. If you can't get it, go on YouTube and type in Stardust- Rule the world (End Credit's Song) Ok, so it's corny and you probably are truly questioning my sanity but I like it!
Edward entered Bella's room the next morning. He heard the shower running and waited in her rocking chair. Edward could hear the water hitting Bella's body, smell the strawberry shampoo, her sweet aroma that filled the room. The shower stopped, the blowdryer replacing it's sound.
Edward missed Bella but forced himself to wait patiently. If she were to retreat the bathroom in nothing but a towel again, Edward knew he would take Bella right there. What she had done to him before, that was cruel and they both knew it. Bella could only push Edward so far before he snapped.
The door opened and Bella stepped out, dressed. Dressed in jean shorts and a Pepsi T-shirt. Simple clothes when worn by Bella, turned sexy. The shorts clung to her thighs and the shirt slightly pulling against her breasts. Her auburn hair was dried and hung down her back, flicks of red appearing under the sun that was shining through the window.
Bella turned torwards Edward and gasped. "Oh!" She held her hand over her heart, her cheeks turning the loveliest shade of pink. She was surprised to see Edward sitting in her room. He looked beautiful as rays of light struck his exposed skin which was now glowing.
Edward smirked. "Hello." He stood up and made his way to Bella. "Did you enjoy your time with Emmet?"
"Very much." Bella smiled and leaned up on her tippy toes to kiss Edward. He responded greedily, wrapping his arms around her waist. Very gently, he parted Bella's lips with his tongue and explored her mouth, causing Bella to moan.
Edward broke away. "Tsk, tsk. You are definitely testing my boundaries." He smiled at Bella's pout.
"That's the problem." She muttered. "You have boundaries."
Edward ignored Bella and grabbed her hand. "Let's go to my house. I believe we still have a couple of vampires to inform of our wedding."
Bella smiled and stared at her ring on her finger. "Let's go."
OooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooO
Esme and Carlisle were ecstatic about the engagement, Esme especially. "Congratulations!" If she could, Bella swore Esme would be bawling her head off. She hugged Edward and Bella both. She could now announce Bella as a true Cullen. This moment was very emotional for Esme.
"I am so glad. You are like a daughter to me, Bella. You saved our family on more than one occasion and have even brought us closer together. We love you." Esme's speech held so much meaning, it brought tears to Bella's eyes.
She hugged Esme fiercely. "Nonsense." Bella sniffled. "It's you who have saved me." She let go and looked up at Edward. "Are you happy now? Esme's got me in the waterworks!"
Edward chuckled and kissed her on the forehead. Even as tears poured down Bella's cheeks, she still looked lovely.
"Congratulations, son." Carlisle patted Edward on the back. "You should be honored to have such a beautiful woman marrying you." He smiled.
Bella sighed. "He had me from the beginning, Carlisle."
"Alice!" Esme yelled and made her way upstairs. "Planning! NOW!"
Carlisle laughed. "Better go make sure they behave." Carlisle followed his wife up the stairs with a nod.
Edward wrapped his arms around Bella's waist and pulled her against him. "Announcing engagement. Cullen family, check. Bella's family?"
"Is the Cullen family." Bella narrowed her eyes stubbornly.
"Bella." Edward raised his eyebrows. "You can't hold it off much longer. You need to tell your mother and father. I'll be right there with you."
Bella sighed and pulled away. Edward was right, she couldn't put it off much longer. Bella forced a smile. "Let's go."
Let thy parental wrath free.
OooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooO
Because Charlie was still at work, Bella was forced to tell Renee first. "Now?" She asked, looking at Edward.
They were sitting at the kitchen table, the phone in Bella's hands. "Now." Edward said.
Bella sighed and stuck out her tongue at him, dialing. "Too bad you can't be a psychic too. Maybe then you could tell me how much yelling I'm going to have to endure."
Edward grimaced. "Ouch."
"Hmph!" Bella huffed at him.
Edward smiled her crooked smile. "You know how adorable you are when you're upset?"
"I-" Bella started and then was cut off by her mother's voice.
"Hello?"
"Hi, Mom." Bella breathed into the phone.
"Hi, honey! How are you?"
God, give me strength. Bella prayed, silently. "I'm great, Mom. You?" Edward started twirling a piece of Bella's hair in his fingers.
"Good. Phil's been doing well too. Managing games and everything. It's been going well for us." Renee's voice sounded giddy like a five year olds. Her enthusiasm will never die. Bella smiled.
"That's great." Bella was unable to come up with more than four words, at the most, at a time at the moment.
"Yeah, it is." Her mother laughed. "So, is this a call begging to return to sunshine weather?" Renee's voice was hopeful. Bella felt Edward tense slightly next to her. She, not thinking, put her hand above his knee and started rubbing, trying to calm him down.
"No, Mom." Bella gave a shaky laugh. "I actually wanted to discuss something with you. Something very important."
Edward closed his eyes at the contact with Bella. She, honestly, had no idea what she was doing to him at the moment. Bella, being Bella, was reacting on instinct, trying to comfort him. Her hand inched higher and Edward just about lost it.
The other end was silent so Bella continued. "Edward and I-"
"Your boyfriend. " Renee's voice was still cheery, a good sign. "He's very good looking, Bella."
Bella smiled. "Yes, I know." She continued to rub her hand against Edward's thigh, making him moan but she didn't notice. "Edward and I are getting married, Mom."
It was quiet for a moment. "Married!?" Renee yelled in shock. "Why?"
Bella sighed and closed her eyes. "Because we love each other."
"Couldn't you wait a couple years? Love lasts forever."Renee sounded angry. So much for everlasting enthusiasm. Bella thought.
Bella was slightly annoyed by her tone and lashed out. "Yes, because your's and Charlie's love has lasted quite a long time hasn't it?" She instantly felt guilty and hung her head. "I'm sorry, Mom. I didn't mean it. I just- I love Edward, Mom, and he loves me. We both feel that marriage is appropriate for our relationship."
Renee didn't speak for a moment. Bella sighed into the phone. "And I would love that you would be apart of this wonderful experience with me."
"Of course, I will!" Renee said in disbelief. "I just can't believe it! My little girl. Getting married." Her voice had turned back to its usual giddiness. "When?"
Bella's hand started moving vigorously up and down Edward's leg, her mother's sudden excitement rubbing off. Edward felt his body reacting and bit his lip, opening his eyes to look at Bella. She was grinning widely and staring out the window.
"August 17."
"Wow. That's in four months!"
Bella rolled her eyes. "It's in less than two, Mom. It's June right now."
"Is it really?" Renee asked confused. How typical that she could not remember the time, always the little things that escaped her mind. "Time travels fast."
Not fast enough. Edward thought, refusing to move one inch closer to Bella.
"Have you told Charlie?"
Bella frowned. "Not yet. He's not home from work yet. Thought I might want to get the worst over with." She joked.
"Ha! Good luck with that, kiddo. You told me over the phone. Charlie's going to be told in person. And worse, he's your father. With a gun." Renee tried to scare Bella but they both knew what a pushover he was.
Bella laughed. How wonderful her laugh is. Edward felt his eyes darken as he became more aware of Bella's touch.
"I truly hope you know what you're doing, honey." Bella's mother told her after they had chatted for awhile. "I know you both love each other and what you said about your father and I, you were right. I just want what's best for you. I've met Edward and he seems like a nice young man."
"He is, Mom." Bella smiled and looked up at Edward for the first time during the talk on the phone. She noticed his pained expression and his eyes dark, a look of pure lust on his face. Bella looked down at her hand which was still rubbing up and down his thigh and quickly took it off, throwing Edward an apologetic glance. The bulge in his pants was becoming more pronounced and Bella blushed, looking away. "He is." She sounded like she was croaking now.
Luckily, Renee didn't notice. "Good. I'll email you in a bit once I check out plane flights. Phil can come too, right?"
"Of course. We'll discuss everything then, all right?"
"Yeah. I love you, Bella. And good luck."
As soon as Bella put the phone down, Edward took her lips with his. "You." He muttered in between kisses. "Are." One right below her chin. "Dangerous." He nipped at Bella's earlobe and she gasped in pleasure.
"That went better than I thought." Bella breathed, referring to the phone conversation she just had, standing up. She had to get her mind away from the sexual thoughts she was having of Edward right now if he wanted to protect his boundaries. Apparently, he didn't want to and stood up too.
"Indeed." Edward agreed and grabbed her waist, still kissing Bella's neck.
Her head rolled back and very bravely, touched Edward's erection pressing against her. He hissed and pushed Bella till she was flat against the wall. She's going to kill me.
Bella gasped again and wrapped her arms around Edward's neck, pulling him down to her level. He kissed her greedily and cupped his hand around her neck, the other playing with her hair. Very carefully, Edward began to lower his hand, tracing her collarbones, moving to the side of her arm, down along her waist until shirt met jeans. He placed one finger inside her shorts, barely making entrance and traced it around the front of her skin. Bella's heart sped up and her breathing very erratic.
With once swift move, there wouldn't have to be shorts in the way. She thought. Bella had no idea how one moment she was talking to her mother and the next, being very intimate with her fiancé. At the moment, she didn't really care.
Edward played with the button of her shorts for a second and Bella's heart stopped. Edward pulled back and stumbled into a chair behind him. "I'm sorry." He panted.
Bella, too, was panting, eyes still closed and wishing that there was no space between her and Edward.
"I was out of line. I'm sorry." Edward said yet once again.
Bella opened her eyes and nodded, not able to do much else. "I suppose I kind of started it though, huh?"
Edward chuckled and agreed. "That you did. However, if it makes you feel any better, I have come close to losing it a lot already without the help of your hand."
Bella blushed at his use of words and Edward smirked. "Will you forgive me?"
"For not taking it farther? No."
Edward laughed. "Perhaps for taking it too far. Your heart stopped beating, Bella."
"Only for you." Bella refused to make this an argument. She wanted to fell Edward's hands on her body again. She wanted to take the next step. She wanted Edward.
Edward was about to say something else on the matter but stopped. "I hear your father."
Bella groaned but situated herself. She looked down and noticed that her shorts were unbuttoned. "You did that?" She looked at Edward.
"I believe so."
Bella groaned in frustration, fixing herself. Even worse because he was so close. Damn morals.
Edward got up and kissed her lightly on the cheek, grabbing her hand. "Deep breath. He's walking through the door any second now."
"Right." Bella breathed in and held it.
"In three... two.." Edward counted. "One."
"Hey, Bells! You home?" Charlie's voice echoed through the hallway.
Bella released the air she was holding.
If Renee wasn't so bad, he won't be either. Right?
Yes, I know the whole transition of seriousness to sexy is kind of weird, but I thought it fit. And quite frankly, I have no idea how Renee would react. If I did, I would be Stephanie Meyer! Which I'm not.
What did you guys think? I hope you enjoyed it. I would've written more but I was getting carried away and you would be reading a super long chapter. So, I split 'em up. Reviews make the world go round.
