Chapter 14

"It's been a real pleasure working with you Bella." David kissed my hand as we finished our dinner in his favourite Seattle restaurant.

"It's been a real experience." I smiled pulling my hand away. I wouldn't miss David's never ending attempts to seduce me. "Well, I better get home." I smiled towards my security men.

"So when do you fly out?" David asked wrapping his coat around him.

"Tomorrow," I beamed.

"I don't suppose I could have an invite to this amazing cottage of yours? I would love a night cap?"

"I don't think so David." I smiled beginning to walk over to Harry my head of security who opened the black Mercedes for me.

"Bella, I would love to see you again." David touched my arm pulling me closer to him.

"I don't think that is such a good idea."

"Why do you stay with Edward, Bella? The stories I have read about him. Why do you let him do that to you?"

"David, you know better than to believe anything in the press." I rolled my eyes.

"You could do so much better than him."

"You're wrong. No one could ever love me like Edward." I turned from him while Harry smiled at me.

"You could do so much better than writing Edward's bio too. Are you doing it just so you can keep a close eye on him?"

"No," I laughed offended.

"I don't mean to cause offence. I just think you deserve better."

"David, please can we keep this professional."

"You should be loved like a fine wine Bella." David inched closer to me and I saw red. I had endured months of these advances. I had had enough.

"DAVID, I am a happily married woman whatever you may think of my marriage. I can assure you nothing or no one could EVER temp me away from Edward. So if you really value our friendship I would stop this right now!" I yelled pulling away.

"I'm sorry Bella." David stuttered a little at my outburst. "I never meant to . . ."

"I really need to get home to my children." I interrupted. "I have a lot to do."

David just nodded as Harry helped me into the car.

"I am sorry Bella. I value your friendship. I really do."

"If you need me for any final details email me but I am sure you and Bex can finish it off."

"You are one amazing writer Bella. I hope to get the chance to work with you again one day." David called as the car finally drove off. I wouldn't take David up on his offer again.

Edward had been right about David all along. It was clear only after a few weeks that it wasn't just my writing abilities he was after.

I grew tired of David's advances. The entire three months had been a nightmare that I couldn't wait to end.

It was bad enough Edward had witnessed David's advances a few times when he dropped by at my office. David's snide comments towards Edward had enraged me so much that I almost told David where to go with his book but I had to be professional as Bex explained to me on a number of occasions. So I just gritted my teeth and got on with it knowing as each day passed I got closer to joining Edward on his tour.

It was difficult for Edward when he had to leave for his tour rehearsals. He didn't want to leave us but it was worse for him knowing I still had four weeks left working with Mr Armstrong Ass Wipe. As Edward called him. I assured him that if David so much as touched me I would castrate him. Edward had actually laughed at that.

I pressed my hand against the glass as we pulled into Forks. My stomach bubbled with excitement at just what lay ahead of me for the next eight months. Edward, our children and more Edward. I felt like a child at Christmas. How did I ever manage to get this lucky?

oxoxoxo

I was rushing around the bedroom. Carlisle and Esme were laughing at me.

"Bella dear," Esme touched my shoulder. "Do you need us to do anything?"

"No, I just need to check I have my passport." I stressed pulling at my hair. It had been hard saying goodbye to the children this morning knowing I wouldn't see them for three weeks. Hope had clung to me until her teacher came to help. But I knew we couldn't pull them out of school even if it was only three weeks until their summer holidays.

"Isn't this your passport?" Carlisle asked looking at my dressing table.

"Thanks." I smiled taking it from him. "My head is all over the place."

"The children will be fine Bella. Go, be with Edward. You two deserve this." Esme smiled touching my cheek.

"I hate leaving them." I whimpered.

Esme shook her head smiling at me. "What are we going to do with Edward and you? It's a good job the band are splitting up after this tour. The pair of you wouldn't have coped for much longer."

I was about to reply when my mobile went off.

Harry says you are not in the car yet. Bella, the plane leaves in an hour move your butt. E xxx

I rolled my eyes sniggering as I replied.

I am trying to find my passport. I won't get far with that will I? B xxxx

Carlisle helped me with my bags as I got into the car my phone buzzed again.

Just hurry up. I miss you. E xxxxx

I hugged Esme and Carlisle goodbye before being whisked off to Malan. As the car sped off I sent Edward one last message.

I'm on my way now. See you in nine hours. B xxxxxx

oxoxoxo

The jet touched down. As the doors opened the midday sum beamed down on me. I could see the heat coming of the tarmac as I made my way into the airport.

I rolled my eyes as I saw Emmet waiting for me at arrivals.

"I didn't need a welcome party Emmet," I teased hugging him.

"Edward told me I had to meet you. Do you know how stressed that boy is? Four weeks without you. It has almost killed him."

"Don't be such a drama queen." I laughed. Emmet spoke to the security who quickly whisked my bags away while I followed Emmet down the tunnel to the car.

"So did you get everything wrapped up with Mr Armstrong Ass Wipe?" Emmet asked with a smirk.

"I take it Edward has told you everything?" I raised my eyebrow at him.

"I would have decked him if I was Edward."

"Thank God you're not." I scolded. "Edward knows I am a big girl and can take care of myself."

"I don't doubt that Bella. You are like my Rose in so many ways."

"When does Rose fly out?"

"In four weeks." Emmet replied sadly. "The kids have to finish school first."

"I know how hard it is for all of you."

Emmet smiled at me putting on his sunglasses as we finally reached outside. "It's the price we all have to pay. Edward knows I would never abandon him on tour. It's my job to protect him for all those screaming females."

"Don't remind me." I sighed. It had been a while since I had been on tour with Edward but I would never forget his groupies.

"At least we know this is the last time." Emmet whispered nudging me. It didn't surprise me that Edward had told him. Emmet was one of his best friends there was nothing he would keep from him.

"Do you think they are doing the right thing?" I whispered putting my own sunglasses on.

"Going out on top and with a bang? It couldn't be more perfect."

"What if he gets tired of family life Emmet? Music has always been in his life. What if we aren't enough for him?"

"Can you hear yourself? Edward, get tired of you and the kids. It's all he wants Bella. Trust me."

I was about to say something when Emmet touched my arm. "I know why you think like this Bella. All that pain you put Edward through in the early part of your relationship it only made him love you more. He would have gone to the end of the earth for you. He knew what he was getting involved in. He didn't care. You don't owe him anything. You have already given him everything he ever wanted so stop thinking that one day Edward is going to look back at all that shit and leave you because Bella, that day will never come."

"Rose clearly tells you too much." I teased.

"It's not Rose who tells me. Edward knows you Bella. He knows you worry about his needs. But all he ever needed was you . . . from the moment he first saw you."

"Did he really see me first in Twilight?" I asked getting into the car.

"He told you that did he?" Emmet chuckled getting into the back of the black limo with me. "Did he tell you that he almost dropped an entire crate of beer while he was watching you?"

"No," I sniggered finding it difficult to believe Edward could be that clumsy.

"I had to shove ice cubes down his T- shirt just to snap him out of his daze. You and Rose hadn't even come up to the bar before that. Edward fought with me because we both wanted to serve you so we played rock, paper scissors and well, you know who one."

"Where did he go? I didn't see him at the bar?"

"He went into the crowd, so he could get . . .a better look at you." I was blushing just at the thought of Edward checking me out before I had even laid eyes on him. "When he eventually came back he was rambling like a love sick fool and then when Jake made a play for you. God, I thought he was going to explode. At the end of the day no matter what Jacob thought Edward did see you first. He was heartbroken when you went into Jakes office. He knew there was no chance he would be able to stay away even if you were dating his friend. I think deep down he knew from that moment no matter what happened there was never any going back."

"I can't believe he never told me any of that." I sighed pushing my hair into a bun as the heat from the sun began to get to me.

"There is so much you don't know Bella." Emmet smiled.

"Well, now I am writing his bio I guess I have a right to find out."

"Very true." Emmet chuckled as we pulled up outside the hotel.

Edward was already at the stadium doing sound checks with the band. I wondered up onto the bands floor to see Alice waiting for me.

"Thank God you are here." Alice beamed rushing over as fast as she could in her pregnant state. She only had two months left to go.

"Are you okay Alice?" I asked touching her shoulder.

"Edward and Jazz had a huge fight with Garrett this morning. It was awful." Alice dragged Emmet and me into one of the side rooms closing the door behind her. "I think Garrett knows something is going on with the band."

"Why do you say that?" Emmet asked.

"He flipped at Edward for no reason this morning. It was how the fight started. He told him he wasn't pulling his weight and if he didn't want to be in this band he could easily replace him."

My blood began to boil. Garrett thought he could replace Edward. I would have loved to see him try.

"Garrett is just stressed. The first four's weeks of the tour always takes it out of him." Emmet reassured. "He knows nothing. Relax Alice."

"It's not good for the baby anyway." I smiled rubbing my hand over her belly. "How have you been? Is the pillow I bought you helping you sleep?"

"I feel a lot more rested when I wake up." Alice smiled looking down at her bump. I couldn't help but wish I was already pregnant. Damn Edward for making me wait but I knew he had his reasons. It would be nice to go through at least one entire pregnancy with Edward firmly by my side.

Alice showed me up to my room but left me alone to unpack. I showered and changed into a short linen dress. Malan was still covered in blistering sunshine as I walked outside to the car to meet Edward at the stadium.

It always amazed me how much hysteria Eclipse brought to any city they toured in. Malan was covered with billboards of the band. The streets were already lined with females queuing to get the best spots inside the stadium when it opened. I had a hard time thinking straight know all these females and males were all here to see my husband and his band. How could I be enough for him when all this ended? It seemed impossible but I knew Emmet was right. I needed to stop thinking I had to make up for all my mistakes. They were behind us now, in every sense of the word. Alex was six feet under. No matter how much Edward loved his career he loved me and our family more. It was no different to what I had done, handing over my publishing business to Angela. Edward wanted the same thing, he just wanted his family.

"Okay," Emmet opened the door for me. "Let's go see lover boy."

"How many fans." My eyes widened at the fence where girls were screaming and shaking the metal barrier.

"You should have seen Italy. This is nothing." Emmet laughed as I followed him into the stadium. What had I let myself in for?

As I made my way down the corridor I could already hear the faint sound of music. My heart raced knowing I couldn't be too far from Edward now. I could make out the daylight as we came to the end of the corridor. Just as I was about to wonder out onto the sunshine I heard my name being called.

"Bella," I turned clenching my fist as I saw Heidi and Garrett walking towards me. I hated this fake blond with a passion. She never stopped pushing her fake tits into my husband's face at any chance she could. Nine years Edward had been forced to work with her and she never stopped chasing his ass.

"Heidi," I used my fakest voice hugging her. "My, you look so . . .orange." I teased as Emmet roared with laughter.

"Still a bitch I see." Heidi glared.

"Stop trying to fuck my husband and I will be nice." I smiled sweetly at her turning to Garrett. "How are you Garrett?"

"Good, thank you Bella. You look well." He was pissed I was here. I could see it in his eyes.

"Three children really keep you fit."

"So you are writing Edward's Bio?" Garrett asked. He was a direct manager I was expecting this when I eventually saw him. How the hell Edward had managed to keep Garret and me apart for three months astounded me.

"I am." I beamed searching my bag for my water bottle.

"Can I ask you exactly what you are planning to write? Is this a personal bio or more about his career?"

"We haven't really decided that yet. I guess it just depends on what feels right." I smiled sipping my water watching Garrets worried eyes.

"Was there a reason you are publishing the book under Cullen publishing rather than the usual publisher Eclipse uses?" Heidi asked putting her fake red nails through her clearly bleach blonde hair.

"My, you have been busy." I chuckled. "Well, seem as I will be the author I wanted to use my own company. Bex Fisher is my editor and I refuse to use anyone else."

"I want to see this book before any publishing date is set." It sounded like an order from Garrett and I was a little taken aback. He had never spoken to me in this manner before and I didn't like it.

"You now you have no right to demand that Garret." I replied firmly crossing my arms at him.

"I am Edward's manager Bella. I have every right."

"No you don't. This is Edward's bio it has nothing to do with you. If you have an issues please take the matter up with Angela at Cullen publishing. She will be happy to answer any of your questions. " I smirked turning to go and find my husband. I could hear Garrett muttering under his breath but carried on outside.

I exhaled as my eyes caught the large metal stage and the voice booming out from it. Edward voice still took over my soul with each word he sang. I felt as if I floated to towards him in a haze of desire and love.

I could hardly believe I was finally here. Six months with my Rock God how had I managed this again?

Ready for the fun to begin?
