After Edward left I didn't really do much of anything. I started my homework which took a good amount of my mind off of things and then started to cook a meal for Charlie. When dinner time rolled around I still had not heard from Edward and Charlie seemed to be running late. Finally the Chief rolled in, surprisingly in a pretty good mood, as I set up the table for dinner. I put a plate out for Edward hoping that he would come over soon. While Charlie was upstairs getting changed out of his uniform I heard the front door open and close. Edward came around the corner with a moody look on his face and gave me a peck on the lips without saying anything before dropping into a kitchen chair. He dropped his head back and closed his eyes as I looked at him in amusement.
"So I take it that things at home didn't go too good?", I whispered as I stood there staring at him.
He scoffed without opening his eyes. Slowly I walked over to him and climbed into his lap, now getting his attention, as I circled my arms around his neck. We sat and looked at each other before he tenderly brushed a piece of hair behind my ear. I leaned forward and kissed the little cut on his lip without taking my eyes from his.
"Thank you." He whispered back with a small smile, gently kissing the tip of my nose.
"For what?"
"For always making things better."
"So are you going to tell me what happened at home?", I questioned again. He grimaced like he didn't want to talk about it when Charlie just happened to start coming down the stairs again.
"I'll tell you after dinner." He said quickly.
I nodded and climbed off him before Charlie walked in, but that didn't stop Edward from giving my bum a little pat as I turned away. I slapped his hand away in mock annoyance earning me my favorite little smirk from him in return.
Charlie smiled at Edward until he saw the damage to his face up close and personal.
"What the hell happened to you Eddie boy?" Charlie asked in concern.
Edward shrugged like it wasn't a big deal, probably tired of telling the story a million times. "Got into a scuffle at school."
Charlie frowned, the responsible and law biding cop coming into play. "Why the hell did you get into a fight?"
Edward looked at me then back at Charlie before answering. "I was protecting your daughter's honor sir."
Charlie looked at me and then nodded. "Good job. I hope the other guy looks worse."
Edward smiled. "Much worse."
I stared at the both of them with am open mouth. "Dad! I thought you don't condone violence!"
Charlie gave an answering shrug before digging into his meal.
"I don't, but when it comes to you anything goes. I know Eddie boy here wouldn't have acted out unless there was a real reason to, so I trust his judgment."
Edward looked very smug with himself, a crooked smiling playing on his face. And rightfully so. It was a known fact that Charlie did not trust teenage boys especially where I was concerned, but Edward had proven himself worthy in Charlie's eyes.
After dinner we watched some T.V. with Charlie before Edward went home for the night. I changed into comfy clothes and washed my face before heading back to my room and finding my smirky-ass boyfriend, who I loved dearly, laying in my bed with his eyes closed. I slipped into bed with him and all too soon he was half laying on top of me with his head on my chest and his arms wrapped around my waist. I gently ran my fingers through his full head of hair in a soothing motion just how I knew he liked it. He hummed in contentment against me and I looked down and saw the happy smile playing on his lips.
"So what happened at home?" I started to ask, while continuing to run my fingers through his hair to keep him relaxed.
He groaned in annoyance and nuzzled into my boob with his signature smile making me roll my eyes.
"Nothing too important. Just some disappointment speeches."
I watched my fingers move through his silky hair as I took in his words. "No punishment?"
He snorted into me before answering, "Well just some rules being put into affect till graduation. But I'm eighteen, so I don't really think that has much affect."
I opened my mouth for more questions when he moved up my body and silenced me with a kiss. Pivoting ever so slightly I found him nestled in between my legs. We kissed deeply as our tongues twisted and played. Edward's one hand was on my cheek as his other made its way up my waist to cup my breast. When his hand made contact with my round bosom he groaned into my mouth and I felt the stirring of little Eddie between my legs. I whimpered lowly as his lips traveled down my neck sucking and kissing as his hand continued to squeeze my breast. Soon his hips began rocking forward ever so slightly and I realized where all of this was heading to. And oh dear God did I want this to go there. But… my Dad was down stairs… I didn't want to think about having him a floor below as Edward pillage my body…and god forbid if my father happened to walk in on that pillaging. With as much effort as one could possibly muster I formed some semblance of coherent words.
"Wa--Wait Edward", I moaned as his grinned his very prominent self into a very sensitive and wonderful spot. He hummed in acknowledgment but continued to suck and nibble on my ear lob. Damn it was heavenly.
Finally I grew the will to I pull back his head by his hair. He looked at me with lust filled eyes. He almost looked intoxicated with lust.
I smiled at the thought and Edward's gentle smile made an appearance before he leaned in to kiss me again. I stopped his lips with my finger so he could listen. "We can't. My dad is downstairs…I cant do that with him right below us." Edward groaned and flopped onto his back.
"Fine," he grumbled as he pulled his arm around me to bring me against him once more. He had his eyes shut as if he could fall asleep at any moment, which I found comical since the view down south showed him to still be at full attention. I chewed on my lip as I thought about how his day had gone and how I had pretty much cocked blocked him. I had read about how horny teenage boys are and Edward seemed to be a prime example of that.
Swiftly I rolled over him and hopped off the bed before quickly heading to the door. Edward looked at me with an amused expression as I opened my bedroom door and stuck my head into the hall. The sounds of my father's snoring floated up the stairs with the TV mixed into the background. I knew he would most likely sleep down there like he did most nights after falling asleep to the TV. I closed the door and locked it before taking my computer chair and positioning it under the door knob just to be safe. After being satisfied with my undertaking I jumped back into the bed with Edward.
"Care to share the cause of that?" He asked as he put his hands behind his head.
I smiled at him and rolled on top of him with my chin on his chest. I kissed the bottom of his slightly stubbly chin before replaying. "How about I show you." I felt his body harden and his breathe quicken as he tried to pull me up to kiss me once again.
"Ut uh" I whispered as I stopped his attempts.
He grunted clearly not understanding my intentions. To make my point more clear I started to lower myself down his body, carefully bringing his pants and boxers down with me.
"Let me try something.." I trailed off as Edward propped up on his elbows and stared down at me with wide dark eyes.
About fifteen minutes later I returned after brushing my teeth to a daze eyed Edward staring up at the ceiling with a smile etched on his face.
"Oh man…I never knew how truly wonderful that could really be…" He seemed to be contemplating his thoughts out loud as I snuggled into his side. He turned so he was facing me and we stared at each other for some time as he gently twirled a lock of my hair around his finger.
"You know I would have… what I mean is you didn't have to clean up after with a tissue." I blushed a deep, deep shade of red in embarrassment about talking about what I just did to him. At the end of that experience Edward had pulled me up just before he finished so I wouldn't have to do the cleanup job, as they say. I wanted him to know though that I would do anything for him.
He stroked my cheek and leaned in to kiss me. "I know and thank you for that but I don't know, I think its disrespectful to expect a girl to do that."
I smiled and kissed him once more.
"I love you. Thank you for that, it was wonderful." He replied starry eyed. I giggled and rolled my eyes.
"Oh no I created a monster."
He smiled and shrugged slightly, not denying my claim. "It wasn't as good as it is to make love to you but it certainly is ranked high on favorite past time activities."
"Shut it." I playfully demanded.
"Would you like me to reciprocate? I still have not done that to you yet and I have to say I am quite eager after your performance just now." He waggled his eyebrows at me.
"No tonight was for you but I will let you do that in the near future. Lets just snug and sleep." He agreed and kissed my head as I fell asleep in his arms.
The next day at school turned out to be hell. Edward had insisted on driving and picking me up even though he wasn't allowed on school property for a week, and I reluctantly agreed. Once we arrived at school I could see the frustration on his face that he couldn't go in with me and he looked saddened to leave. After reassuring him that I would be fine on my own, he gave me one hell of a kiss before getting back in the car and driving off. So that was how I entered school that day, starry eyed and a little dazed.
Through all of my classes people acted strangely to me, always lowering their voices when I passed by them. Everyone in school knew about the fight and everyone was talking about it. I tried to keep my ears closed for the most part but it was hard with people talking right in front of me as if I wasn't even there. You would have thought the fight was a big HBO boxing match the way they were talking.
"I heard that Edward Cullen went psycho. He pulled out a knife to kill James but they stopped him before he did any damage!" I rolled my eyes as a red headed girl in my math class chatted on with a bunch of other girls in the back.
"Silvia was there and she told me she had never seen anything like it. She said even if he is psycho, it was the hottest thing she'd ever seen." They all giggled at this and I raised my hand quickly to get the bathroom pass, not wanting to hear anymore.
Most of the day passed like that and I was starting to get a bad headache from all the commotion. A few people even had the nerve to ask me if Edward was a crazy like that in the bedroom. I didn't find any of this excitement amusing what so ever.
When the day ended I plopped into Edward's front seat mentally exhausted from trying to block everyone out. I didn't turn to give him a kiss hello but just rubbed my hands over my face and groaned.
Edward's hand went on my knee in a soothing gesture. "Today was bad I take it?"
I looked over at his worried expression and my face softened. Gently I cupped his cheek. "It doesn't matter now, its over. Let's not talk about it." I answered softly. A smile started forming on his lips and I leaned over and brushed my lips against his. It was barely a kiss at first but before I could pull away Edward snaked his hand in my hair to pull me closer, making the kiss heady and deep. A car horn blared behind us making me almost jump out of my seat and eliciting a growl from Edward. I looked behind us and saw that we were indeed causing a line up since we were stopped at the parking lot entrance.
Edward drove us home quickly and ever the gentleman, raced to open my door and get my book bag. Our hands clasped and we walked hand in hand towards my house. Esme suddenly opened her front door and yelled out to us.
"Edward Cullen! You are still grounded until graduation young man. So steer yourself away from Bella's house and come on home."
My eye brows raised and Edward cursed under his breath. This was the first time I had ever seen Esme discipline him but then again Edward had never fought another boy in school before either.
"I'm just hanging out at Bella's, its practically an extension to our home anyway." He offered in a slightly annoyed tone that I had never heard him take with Esme before. She put her hands on her hips and look all the more like the authority figure.
"Now I know that you're eighteen and can make your own decisions but you do live in my household and hope you respect our rules. I'm cutting you some slack. Emmett was grounded for a month when he came home drunk last year. You can go over to Bella's when Charlie comes home from work and she can come over here until then."
I squeezed his hand reassuringly and looked up at him. "That's seems fair. You should listen to her."
He didn't look happy about it but nodded. "Alright we're coming", he yelled to Esme.
She smiled but before she turned around to go inside she said one last thing. "Oh before you do, I think both of you should check the mail box." With that she turned and went inside. Leaving us both stooped.
We both looked up at each other confusingly and then at the mailbox. "I'll check mine, you check yours?" I questioned.
"Deal" Edward replied before we both sprinted off. I quickly opened in up and reached in, grabbing a bunch of letters, one being significantly big. I looked down at the big envelope in my hand and the familiar writing of the University of Washington written on the front. I had applied there early on in the school year but didn't know for sure if Edward had. He had mentioned it once that he had wanted too but then all after all the issues we had this year, I never found out if he had sent it in. Come to think of it, I never found out any of the colleges he actually applied to. I looked across the lawn at Edward standing by his mailbox holding a similar envelope. We looked up at each other and a smile broke out of our faces.
"Washington?!" I yelled across the lawn. His smile grew and he nodded his head. I screamed and jumped in the air before running over and jumping on to him. He stumbled back at the sudden impact but was laughing at my reaction and holding me up as my legs wrapped around him.
I was peppering his face with quick kisses and speaking between each one. "I'm so happy right now!"
He chuckled. "We didn't even open them up yet, so we don't even know if we both got in."
I snorted. "They don't send you a big envelope like this if your rejected. Feel these things, they're packed with stuff."
He still had a big grin on his face and I knew he believed me too. "Come on, lets go tell Esme", he said as he walked towards the house with me still wrapped around him.
"I have a feeling she already knows."
Once inside he lowered me down and we ripped open the envelopes to see that we both were in fact accepted. I couldn't help my excitement over the thought of Edward and I going away to the same school next year. Knowing that this was going to last. We were going to last.
Esme confessed that she saw the mail delivered and left it for us to open together. She was so happy that she forgot about her little parental supervision law and let Edward and I hang out in his room. The second his door closed I tackled the boy to his bed.
"So we really are going to do this then?" I asked out of breath, laying on top of him.
His fingertips touched the back of my shirt and started to lift it up while his lips met my neck. "God yes." He huskily whispered into my skin making me shiver. I pushed back from him to look in his eyes and saw that familiar lust filled daze. My eyes widened when I realized what he thought I was talking about and rolled over in a frustrated groan.
"No Edward not that. I'm talking about college. About us going to the same school maybe. I mean I know you applied other places too so I don't want to make you go anywhere just because of me and-" I started to ramble in a nervous banter.
My nervous rambling was cut off by Edward rolling on top of me and kissing my lips. When he pulled back he stared down into my eyes. "Yes we really are going to. I'll go wherever you go Bella."
I toyed with his hair as I looked up at him and wondered exactly what other options he was giving up to go to school with me.
"Where else did you apply? I mean we really didn't talk about college at all since it was a sore subject but I'm curious?" I asked him. His eyes immediately left mine and he ducked his head into the crook of my head, relaxing against my body.
"Nowhere special. Besides, this is what I want now so those things don't matter."
My brows furrowed at his brush-off reply but before I could question him for more specifics he made me forget what I was even thinking about when his mouth met mine and I lost myself into his kiss.
Things heated up as Edward pulled my shirt up exposing my bra. Soon my bra cup was pulled down and Edward resumed is kissing and suckling on my chest. I groaned and threaded my fingers into his hair.
"Edward! Honey can you help me move this box to the garage?", Esme called from downstairs.
Edward stopped his sucking and rested his cheek against me breathing heavily. With a groan he lifted himself off of me. I smirked in amusement as he readjusted himself down below as he looked at me with a playful glint in his eye.
"We will resume this as soon as I get back." He pointed at me in determination before sprinting off. I giggled at his retreating form before laying back on the bed. Once my bra and shirt were fixed, I looked around his room. As I scanned around I looked at he garbage can in the corner with an envelop peaking out.
With curiosity getting the better of me I quickly stood up and peaked out the door to make sure he was not coming back yet. Then even more quickly I extracted the envelop from the trash and examined it. It was an envelop from Stanford University, much like the one we had just received today. I opened it and scanned it quickly. My heart sunk as I read that he had been accepted with a half scholarship accompanying his acceptance to the university.
I didn't know if I should be more upset about him lying to me or more upset with myself for making him think that this should be something he should throw in the trash because of our relationship.
Suddenly I heard his laugh from the bottom of the stairs and quickly put the envelop in my back pack before he returned.
AN:It has been a hell of a long time and for that I apologize. Really really sorry. I might make this story a little bit longer than intended because I changed my mind on the ending. Please review and again sorry for the wait.
