Okay, so I got yelled at by a certain reviewer (you know who you are) about not updating soon enough. Well, here's the update. I literally typed this in 30mins, so I'm sorry if it turns out bad. You have been warned! Plus some of my ideas for this chapter came from a reviewer. Thanks a million-kagillion-bagillion!!!!
Also, I'm starting another Eddie/Bellie fanfiction. It will be posted as soon as I finish up my other two fanfictions.

Chapter 14: Complicated Bliss
~Bella's point of view~
Edward hinted, not as subtly as I think he would've liked, that I should try out therapy. He kept talking about this shrink he had gone to, to deal with the shock after the car accident. He said her name was Dr. Victoria Smith. I agreed to try but I didn't want anyone else except me and Edward knowing that I was going to a head doctor. They'd think I was crazy!....which, frankly, I knew I was.
And that's how we ended up in the car driving to Seattle on a cold November weekend. I stared out the window while Edward drove. I held his hand and was squeezing it for dear life. My stomach was still doing flips. I was so nervous.
Edward lifted my hand to his lips and kissed the back of it. "Everything will be fine." He assured me for what felt like the millionth time. You'd think that by now I'd start to believe him. But I didn't.
"What if I have some sort of metal disability and I have to be thrown in the nut house because they can't help me?" I said quickly.
Edward chuckled, trying to lighten the mood. "Then I'd act mental too so I could be in the nut house with you."
He distracted me and I laughed. "Edward, you don't have to act mental...you're already crazy." I teased.
He leaned across the console and kissed the corner of my mouth. "Yeah, crazy for you." I blushed. Even though it was the cheesiest thing I'd ever heard, it was still nice to hear it.
We arrived at the shrink's office. Edward had to basically pull me from the car. I didn't want to go in there and have some stranger tell me about my life problems. She didn't know me!
We walked into the building. Edward signed me in and then we went to wait in the sitting room. Eventually a woman came out from a door next to the front desk. She spotted me and smiled. I knew right then that she was the shrink.
"Isabella Swan." She said as she held her hand out to me. I shook it. "I'm Vitoria Smith. Follow me." Edward held my hand as we walked down a hallway. We ended up in a room that looked sort of like a living room. It had a comfy looking couch with a matching arm chair in front of it. There was a book shelf full of book and a table with three chairs. The room was surprisingly inviting.
We all sat down and then she turned to Edward. Her look towards him was a little more flirtatious than I felt comfortable with. "Hello, Edward. I think I remember you." But the way she said it insinuated that she defiantly remembered him.
Out of the primal need to tell her that he is mine, I placed my hand on Edward's thigh a little higher than what would be considered polite for company. "How about we get on with this thing?" I suggested in a snappy tone. No one hits on the man of my dreams right in front of me like that.
I thought that this Victoria woman would stop flirting with Edward once she realized he was taken. That wasn't the case. Throughout the three hour session, she would find some way to touch Edward while talking to me about my past or pull him into a conversation that had nothing to do with him.
Eventually she told Edward that he needed to step out of the room for a minute so she could talk to me alone. But this 'alone time' was bogus! All she did was ask me questions about myself that I'd already answered. Then she told me to step outside and send Edward in! I thought that was a little ridiculous, but the quiet Bella told the bold Bella to shut the hell up and just go with what the doctor says. So, I did.
~An amused Edward's point of view~
My plan was working out exactly like I wanted it to. Bella was getting angry and almost on the verge of saying something to Victoria.
"Edward." I looked up and saw Bella coming out of the room. She looked annoyed. "She wants to talk to you." I got up and started toward the door. Before I could open the door Bella stopped me. She pressed her palm to my cheek. "I love you." She whispered. She kissed my lips quickly but with passion before taking a seat in the chair beside the door.
"I love you, too." I whispered to her before I walked into Dr. Smith's office. I sat down on the couch.
"So, Edward. How's our plan working?" Victoria asked.
I chuckled. "Very well. She's so jealous and angry that I'm afraid she's ready to hurt you."
We both laughed. "Well then I think it's time for our last stunt of the day and the you two can be on your way." She said as she got up. We both walked to the door. Victoria opened it and said to me, "I can't wait for next week's session, Edward." She touched my arm. "If you ever need anything, feel free to call me." She slipped a piece of paper in my jeans pocket. "That's my personal cell number." She finished off the stunt with a rather suggestive wink.
That's all it took.
Bella jumped up from her spot on the chair and was between me and Vitoria and in her face in a second. "What the hell? I may have issues but that does not give you the right to lay the charm on thick with my finace right in front of me! I don't think there will be another session and I sure as hell am not paying for this one, bitch!" Bella grabbed my hand and started walking in the direction of the front door. I looked back at Victoria and mouth a 'thank you'. She just smiled.
Once we were in the car, somehow Bella driving and me in the passenger seat, we just sat in the parking lot for a while. She looked to me with tears in her eyes. "I'm so sorry, Edward. I don't know what came over me. I just couldn't help it. She was all over you and-" I cut her off.
"It's alright, Bella." I said as I leaned across the console and hugged her. She cried while hiding her face in my chest. I was planning on telling Bella about Victoria and I's experiment but I decided not to.
"How about I drive?" I suggested. She nodded and we got out of the car and traded places. Once we were back in I remembered what she had said earlier. "Bella?"
"Hmm?" She said while she played with my fingers.
"You referred to me as your fiance in there earlier." I watched as her face went red. "What does that mean?"
She bit her lip, some nervous tick she had that I found adorable. "Um...I was, um...thinking that, maybe, you know we could...um..." She was having trouble finding words. I knew what she wanted to say, but I wanted to hear her say them. It would boost her confidence.
"Bella, take a deep breath and just say it. Don't think about anything except talking." I told her. She did as I said.
"I still want to be with you. I mean, with you as in marriage. And I want the rest of the big package too. I want a crazy life with you. I want to fall asleep curled up next to you. I want to love you with all my heart and never, ever have to think about you not wanting me." She didn't miss a beat. But the insecure Bella was still hiding and she began to chew on her lip again.
I reached up and smoothed out her worry-wrinkles on her forehead with my finger. She closed her eyes and leaned into my touch. "I want all of those things for you and I will do the best I can at making them happen. You'll never have to worry about me not wanting you. I have, do, and will always want you no matter what." I leaned toward her and kissed her face making sure I didn't touch her lips. I wanted her to go after what she wanted without fear.
And, just like a predicted, she put her hands on either side of my face holding me where she wanted me and kissed me forcefully on the lips. This was a passionate yet frenzied kiss. It seemed as if it went straight to my groin.
Before I knew it I was driving around Seattle looking for a good hotel. I found one, a pricey five star, and quickly booked us a room for the evening. Later, in the cozy hotel room, I made love to Bella the way she deserved....

~Bella's point of view~
I woke up before Edward, and when I did I felt sore. But it was a blissful sore. I would gladly feel it all day.
I reached for my jeans, which had somehow managed to get under the bed, and got my cell phone out of my pocket. I looked at it and saw that it was 8:30am. Edward and I needed to get back to the dorms. I still had plenty of homework to do and I needed to get it submitted before 4pm so I could have the rest of the week off for Thanksgiving vacation.
I rolled over on the bed until I was facing Edward. He looked so cute as he slept with one arm under my neck and the other over his eyes. The blankets were pulled down just enough to see that sexy V-shape a guy's muscles make at the hips. Seeing it reminded me of the previous night's occurrences...I blushed but not because I was embarrassed that we had done it, but that Edward had seen all of me...and the fact that I had never done it before.
I traced Edward's facial features with the tip of my index finger. I knew he was awake when he smiled and kissed my palm as it passed over his lips. "Good morning." He said in a husky voice as he stretched his legs and arms out. He cuddled me to his chest. "I don't want to get up yet. Can we just stay in our own complicated bliss forever?" He asked.
I kissed his chest. "I wish we could, but I have to get some homework done and submitted before 4pm today or I won't be able to come back home for Thanksgiving."
He groaned. "Fine." He sounded like a little kid who was just told he couldn't have another cookie.
I climbed out of bed and gathered my clothes. Before I went into the bathroom I looked back at Edward who was staring at me in a very alluring way. I blushed again. But before I could forget what I was about to say, I said, "Thanks for taking me to that shrink. Even though she did 'put the moves on you' she still helped me with my confidence issues."
He smiled and winked at me. "Anytime, love." He put his arms behind his head and relaxed back on the bed, closing his eyes.
I hope you liked it! I was having so much fun writing Edward and Victoria's parts!
Please REVIEW!!!!
