CHAPTER 12 - EDWARD
I cannot believe I brought Bella home to this.
My folks and their overly affectionate ways have always been normal to my brother and me. When our friends—scratch that—when Em's friends would come over they always ogled Ma. Around 7th grade I think someone got a little too vocal about our mother's attractiveness. I came home one day to find Pop at the kitchen island putting an ice pack on Em's knuckles. Nobody came over after that.
Now, the first time I bring anybody home my folks are doing the deed in the pantry, among the Frosted Flakes and granola bars. Just no.
I look at my father, watching his hand serpentine around Ma's waist, then down her hip, just grazing her ass. Really? I level him a glare that I hope will make his hands burn.
"Pop—" I give him a bitch-brow. "Hands."
He has the nerve to smirk at me. Giving me a look that says he's a stud. Motherfu—Gah! I want to go and scrub my brain. Bella's deep brown eyes shine with amusement at my parents.
I think I love this woman, but I'm terrified of scaring her away. I feel so much for her already. For the first time in my life I crave the relationship that my parents have. I'm desperate for it and know now that only Bella can make that kind of life, that kind of love, a reality.
So, Edward's a little embarrassed by his parents' behavior. My Mr and I go out of our way to be embarrassing not quite to the level of C/Es, but we do have our fair share of fun at our children's expense.
As always a huge thank you goes out to Lolo84, Jparke19, and hmmille for their pre-reading and Beta skillz. Oh, and Twilight belongs to S. Meyer, this kookie plot is all mine.
