Thanks for the reviews. I will carry on writing, there's more Edward and Bella moments to come.
Chapter fourteen.
Bella's POV.
It was now quarter past seven. My parents had already left the house. There was only one problem now.
James.
He was always a problem anyway.
I was thinking of asking Edward over when my parents would leave, I desperately needed to see him, and kiss him. I needed him here with me. But James was still in the house.
"What are you doing?" a voice interrupted me. I turned around to see James standing by the doorway, with his arms crossed.
"Think of the devil", I muttered to myself.
"Mum and dad just left", he informed me.
"James, there's this new thing. It's called knocking! Get out", I hissed. I walked over to door and tried to close it but James' foot was jammed in between.
"Just listen to me", he snapped.
"No", I snapped back. I was seriously considering breaking his foot. I grabbed the door handle and slammed the door.
"Ouch! You little bitch!" he hissed pulling his foot back.
Wow, that felt good.
I banged the door shut.
"And stay out", I shouted over. But he didn't go away.
"Bella, just fucking listen to me for a second would you?" he yelled.
"I don't want to", I murmured to myself. I leaned my back against the door so he couldn't open it.
"Why do you have to be a little stubborn bitch?" he snapped, "first, I had to live with you, now I have to travel with you too. Can't you disappear already?"
"Why are you talking to me then?" I shouted.
"My friends are coming over in a second", James explained, "I need you to not come downstairs."
"I'll go downstairs if I want to", I muttered.
"I'll tell mum and dad you broke my foot, if you come down", he threatened. I considered it.
"Are you going to come upstairs?" I asked.
"No", he explained, "we'll stay downstairs so you stay upstairs."
"What if I don't?" I asked.
"Then Laurent will have to fuck you up and I'm not going to stop him", James snapped. I shuddered. My last encounter with James' friend Laurent and Victoria wasn't the best meeting in history.
"Do mum and dad know your friends are coming?" I asked.
"Of course, unlike you, I don't sneak around", said James coolly.
"Alright. Deal", I said, a plan forming in my head already.
"What?" he asked sounding surprised.
"You stay downstairs, and keep your friends downstairs. And I'll stay upstairs", I told him, "how long for?"
"Couple of hours", he said uncertainly, probably shocked that I was agreeing to him.
"Ok then", I said, "couple of hours it is."
James' POV (let's find out what the devil's son is thinking)
"Ok then", she called out, "couple of hours it is."
I backed away from the door suspiciously. She was going to stay upstairs? Without a fight? Of course, I was planning on using more threats or maybe force or something, that wouldn't be a problem with me.
I stood there for a couple of minutes, just staring at her door trying to figure her out. Bella was the weirdest sister in the world. Not only did she get the most attention from my parents but also she acted as if it was a bad thing.
I would kill to make sure my mother looked after me like she did with her. She always asked after her, wanting to know when she was coming home, if she was ok. Both my parents, they loved her more than they loved me.
They were protective of her, telling her to be careful, looking after her the most. And what about me? They didn't really ask much about me. I had to take care of myself. Bring myself home.
She didn't know how lucky she was. Like the last night. She came home a little late and mother and father were already making sure she'd be home early the next day. Making her ride with me. She was my sister, I would do it, but I knew she'd rather be somewhere else.
With someone else of course.
Edward Cullen.
How it made my blood boil when she would come home late, knowing that she was with him. What did she see in him anyway? He was nothing but a slut. A whore. My sister with him. What would I do to get two minutes with Edward Cullen? I would punch his lights out and make sure he'd stay away from Bella.
The doorbell rang and I ran down the stairs. Laurent and Victoria were here.
Bella's POV.
"Are you sure?" asked Edward for the millionth time. I sighed. It seemed like he didn't want to see me. I pressed the phone closer to my ear.
"Yes", I insisted, "they're staying downstairs. Knowing James, they're probably dealing drugs or something."
I heard him accelerate in the background, bringing me hope at last.
"I think I broke his foot", I said smugly. Edward laughed.
"Good girl", he encouraged, "good for you!"
"What are we going to do about tomorrow?" I asked.
"We'll find a way, Bella", said Edward quite seriously, "no one and nothing can keep me from seeing you."
"We can always say that I'm with Jessica or Lauren or something", I suggested, "They can be my alibi."
"That's a good idea", he said.
"When can we say that?" I asked.
"My brother and sister are coming to visit me this weekend", said Edward. Damn, I was planning on maybe spending the day with him.
"Oh, ok", I sighed.
"I want you to meet them", he blurted out suddenly. Meet Edward's brother and sister? I had no idea what to say to that. I had only heard a few things about them. He had a twin sister called Alice apparently and an older brother called Emmett. But… meeting them?
"Please Bella. They'd love you", Edward said, "We can use that Jessica excuse. Say you're going shopping with them or something."
"This weekend?" I squeaked. Edward laughed.
"I'm climbing up, open the door", he said. I ran over to my balcony door and opened it. My heart was in my throat as I watched Edward effortlessly scale up the pipes. If he fell…
"Missed you", he whispered as he reached the top. He skipped over and tucked his phone away. I smiled as the lovely butterfly feeling returned.
"Missed you too", I said. And we glued to eachother once more.
Edward POV.
She tasted like nothing I've tasted before. Her scent was strawberries and freesia. His skin so soft and supple. Still attached at the lips, Bella and me stumbled back into her room. I kicked the balcony door close, but quietly.
"What do you think?" I asked her breathlessly once we separated. She pulled me down to sit on her bed with her.
"About what?" she asked.
"Coming to meet my siblings", I reminded. I knew that Alice would love to meet Bella. They would get on really well.
Bella looked nervous suddenly. She bit her lip. I could do that for her…
"I'm not sure, Edward", Bella said shrugging, "what if they don't like me?"
"Of course they'll like you", I reassured her, chuckling, "what's not to like?"
"No, I mean… they're coming to visit you", she said, "not me. I don't want to intrude."
"Alice is bringing her boyfriend Jasper", I told her, "and Emmett's coming with his new fiancé Rosalie, I'll be the fifth wheel. Besides, I want them to meet the new girl in my life."
She blushed, adding a tinge of pink into her pale cheeks.
"Please Bella?" I whispered leaning in close to her, "please? For me?"
Our lips brushed again and I couldn't help wrapping my arms around her waist, pulling her closer. Our kissing became more urgent this time; we were more desperate to explore each other's mouths. I knotted one of my hands into her sweet smelling hair. Pressing my body close to hers…
"What time?" Bella whispered, resigned. I smiled and kissed her again.
"They're coming for dinner", I explained, "but you have to come in the morning."
"What are you making?" she asked curiously, I brushed my hand against her cheek softly, making her blush again. It was the sweetest, cutest thing in the world. Bella smiled softly.
"I'm not sure", I told her, "you can help me choose later."
"Why later?"
"Because we're too busy now", I whispered and pulled her onto mY lap so she was straddling me.
Bella's POV.
I didn't know if my heart would ever go at normal speed again. I didn't think it would.
Being that close to Edward, feeling the warmth radiating off his skin was just magic. Not ever did I think I would get to kiss him like that. Not ever did I think he would moan my name out. Not ever did I think he would love me.
"Edward", I sighed once we pulled away. I was still sitting on his lap, facing him. My arms were around his neck and our foreheads were touching. His hands were wrapped around my waist, not letting go any time soon.
"Yes baby?"
"What about tomorrow?" I asked, "we've sorted out the weekend, but I can't wait until then."
Edward groaned and closed his eyes. "Are your parents going to be in?"
"I'm not sure", I answered, "probably. They don't really go out on Wednesdays. So I can't sneak you in until…"
"Until what?" asked Edward reopening his mesmerizing green eyes.
"Until everyone's asleep, but that'll be like at midnight or something", I explained.
"I can come at midnight", he said nodding.
"I don't think you should", I said shaking my head, "it'll be too dark, I don't want something to happen to you or anything."
"That's the only choice we've got, Bella", said Edward sighing, "I would pull you out of school again but I'm working then I've got college."
"Is that how it's going to be?" I whispered staring at him straight in the eyes, "we're going to have to sneak around at night just to see eachother, to be with eachother?"
"It's the only way", murmured Edward.
