Wondering how long it will take for him to find a job, and it is really quickly if he will be able to find a place to live on such short notice...hmmmmm?
Oh, or will these 2 just "slip up" and have to just buy a house with a yard for a huge brood? Sounds like a fun plan! (irishnlovetshop)

Chapter 14

She's Having Her Weekend With Me

The whispers and gossips were everywhere for the next few days. I ignored it although there were few bold nurses who asked me whether it was true or not that I have a relationship with Bella. As much as I wanted to dismiss the question, the only way to tame gossips was telling the truth. So, that was what I did. By Thursday, they were gone like nothing happened. As for Mike and his fiancé, I heard they returned to Seattle on Sunday. I just hoped he didn't do anything stupid there or I won't hesitate do something to him more like Bella did.

Actually it was not the gossips which occupied my mind. Other than Bella, I was planning and re-planning everything if I did move to Seattle. What would I do with my house? How about my furniture? Where will I stay in Seattle? In an apartment or a house? And other endless planning. I spoke with my dad in the night before my plan to visit Bella. My dad gave me some inputs and joked with me about the 'disadvantage' in having a house if you're still a bachelor. He amused me sometimes. He also gave me some names of the hospital there and I planned to see it during my visit to Seattle.

But, I knew I needed to talk about this with Bella too. Speaking about Bella, we called and texted most of the times. It was a little bit awkward at first, but then it gotten more comfortable by time. I guessed this was another thing that we both had to learn together.

On Friday morning, I drove to Seattle early and arrived nearly lunch time. Perfect time for taking Bella to have a lunch. I parked at the school parking lot and took my phone out. I texted Bella and told her that I had arrived and would take her to lunch. Bella didn't reply, I guessed she was still teaching her students. And then, several minutes later I heard the bell ringing for lunch break and I turned the engine off. I got out from my car and leaned next to it. The building now was full with children voices and I looked at the front door curiously. I couldn't wait to see Bella.

And then, the door opened and my wish came true. Only it was better than my wish. My jaw dropped when I looked at the brunette woman who walked out from the building. Her eyes swept over the parking lot and then she smiled when her eyes landed on me.

I blinked several times.

Well, I've had spent a week with her before; I've seen her several times on casual outfits, but not like this.

On shirt, pencil skirt and a pair of low heel shoes.

Holy!

My girlfriend is so damn sexy!

And my body stirred in response.

Focus, Edward!

What can I say? I'm a man.

Bella stopped in front of me and kissed my cheek. I closed my eyes briefly when I inhaled her smell. I missed her so much!

"Hi there," she smiled. Her eyes sparkled and my body shivered.

Honestly, I needed to learn how to control my body.

"H-Hi," I stuttered.

She giggled and I grinned unconsciously. It warmed my heart that I was the one who caused her this way.

"So, are you still going to take me lunch?" she asked me sweetly.

Oh…yeah!

I almost forgot about that.

"Oh…yeah, definitely," I answered her.

Bella took my arm. "Come on, I'll show you my favorite place."

I couldn't wait for that.

I drove to a cozy diner following Bella's direction. It was not far from the school and also not far from her apartment. I smiled inwardly when I saw how Bella animatedly showed me the buildings. Somehow I knew she showed me her world.

We sat next to each other and Bella blushed deeply. She was so adorable.

A waiter came to our table and we both placed our orders. After writing on his note, the waiter left me alone with my blushing girlfriend.

I chuckled lightly. "You're blushing?"

Bella nodded.

I playfully raised my eyebrows. "Are you feeling embarrassed sitting next to me?"

She shook her head.

"Then, what is it?"

She bit her lip before answering, "Um…well, this is the first time we have a lunch date…if you call it that way."

A lunch date.

Hmmm…I liked that.

I smirked and kissed her blushing cheek. Bella looked at me in amazement. "It's a lunch date, then. By the way, you look so beautiful today, my dear. I miss you."

Bella blinked several times before laughed nervously. "Edward, it's only my working outfit. It's nothing."

I didn't leave my gaze from her. "I think you look so sexy."

Bella's eyes widened, but I won't regret what I said. I was just speaking the truth.

And then, she smiled and held my hand which rested on the table. "Thank you."

I grinned and she giggled.

Best lunch date ever.

During our lunch, Bella told me a little bit about her friends here; such as her colleagues, Angela, her college friend, Alice with her boyfriend, Jasper and Jasper's sister, Rosalie who was dating Emmett. She told me she already told them about me and they were happy about it. Bella also told me they couldn't wait to see me.

After having our lunch, I took her back to the school. I parked my Volvo and looked over at her. "Thank you for having lunch with me, Bella."

She smiled and kissed my cheek. "You're welcome and thank you for coming here. What will you do until I finish my hours?"

"Well, I plan to look around for the hospitals in town. My dad gave me some names and I just want to see them," I answered her.

Bella nodded slowly. "And where do you plan to spend the night?" she bit her lip.

I blushed slightly. Honestly, I wanted to spend the night at her apartment…we did it before in my house back in Forks, but again it was up to her.

I cleared my throat. "Um…well, I was hoping to spend it in your place, but I understand if-"

I couldn't finish my answer because suddenly Bella wrapped her arms on my neck and kissed me deeply. I was shocked at first, but then my body responded automatically. I wrapped my arms on her waist and kissed her back. How I missed it!

Bella ended our kiss and stroked my cheek. "You don't have to ask for it, Edward. You can stay in my place."

I grinned widely. "Thank you, Bella." I glanced over the building and then back at her. "You should go inside or you're going to be late."

She laughed lightly and released her hold on my neck. I smiled at her when she closed the passenger door. I watched her walked back to the building and unconsciously ogled her behind.

Yup!

My girlfriend is so damn sexy!

Bella's apartment was not small, but not too big either, perfect for her. I picked her up after driving around seeing the hospitals in town. She insisted to cook me dinner and of course I agreed whole heartedly.

Bella went to her kitchen while I took the bathroom. I showered, changed my clothes and played with the TV remote switching over channels because Bella forbid me to help her. She called me around 7 pm and we ate our dinner together. After that, I volunteered to wash the dishes before joining her in the living room to watch TV. She leaned on my chest the whole time and I enjoyed the feeling being close to her. But, as much as I wanted to stay awake, my body betrayed me and I yawned.

I could feel Bella moved and I looked at her.

"Do you want to sleep now?" she asked me timidly.

I smiled sleepily. "Yeah, I guess so. I'm so tired. I'll sleep here on the couch."

Her eyes turned hard. "No way. You can sleep in my bed."

I blinked. "But, what about you?"

Her cheeks flamed. "Um…I'm sleeping there too."

Oh…

Oh!

I almost punched myself for my stupidity.

I guessed I was so sleepy so my brain didn't work properly.

I smiled and kissed her forehead. "Let's go to sleep, then."

Bella nodded and quickly turned the TV off. She locked her door and then held my hand, guiding me to her bedroom.

Her room was warm and smelled like her. This was definitely my favorite place. Some parts of my brain wondered if Newton ever came here, but I dismissed that thought.

I was unsure what to do when I saw her crawled under the comforter. I fidgeted on my feet and Bella raised her eyebrows. "Are you going to stand there all night?" she smirked.

I almost rolled my eyes.

I took a deep breath and slowly slipped next to her. Bella laid her head on my chest and I felt complete. I wrapped my arm around her waist and she sighed.

"Do you know I've always dreamed about this since I return from Forks?" she murmured.

I smiled and absent mindedly played with her hair. I looked over the ceiling. "Really?"

"Uh-hmm…I like lying here next to you. I feel safe."

I kissed the top of her head. "I will always keep you safe."

She nodded and looked at me. "I know you do." Bella caressed my cheek and then stopped on my lips. "You're the first man who lay here with me."

Thank you, Lord!

I couldn't hide my happy smile. "I'm so happy that I'm the first."

Bella smiled back. "I'm happy too."

She looked so alluring under the dim light and I couldn't resist not kissing her. I rolled her on her back and kissed her deeply. Bella responded and knotted her fingers on my hair.

I like that!

My body responded immediately. I could feel her warmth, her soft body underneath me and her haggard breathing between our kisses. My hands unconsciously roamed over her body. My mind told me to stop, but my body didn't seem to cooperate. It was the moment when Bella put her hands on my chest and I knew I had to stop. I ended our kiss and tried to control my breathing. I glanced over at Bella and she was trying to control her breathing too.

I looked at her eyes, worried that she might be angry with me, but I found none. I saw her eyes full of love and longing.

I stroked her cheek gently. "I'm sorry. I think I got a little bit too far."

She smiled. "It's alright. I like it."

I looked at her face again and I knew this was the right time for us to have the "talking". "I want you, Bella. I do…but, I think we need to move slowly. And besides, you need to know that the physical thing is not on my top priority. I just want to you to know that I love you."

She kissed my lips once. "I know, Edward. And you know how much I love you. We'll know when the time is right."

I smiled at her and kissed her back before I lay on my back. Bella scooted closer and leaned again on my chest.

"Do you have any new plans once you move from Forks?" she asked me gently.

I took a deep breath. "One or two. I will sell my house, definitely, and maybe put some of my stuffs in my parent's house and bring some of them with me here. I'll look for apartment here before I decided to buy another house."

Actually I wanted to buy a house for me and Bella. I looked over at her and pondered in my mind. Would it be good if I told her my plan right now? Was it too early?

As if she knew I was looking at her, Bella lifted her head and looked at my eyes. "What is it?

I smiled timidly. "I want to buy a house, not for me, but also for both of us."

Bella stared at my eyes before slowly she bowed her head and blushed. "You…you mean…living together?"

I watched her face closely. Well, there was no turning back. "Yes, with you as my wife."

Her head shot up. "W…what?"

I held her hands. "I want to marry you and I know we have a lot to learn, but I know what I want. I want you to be my wife."

She bowed her head again. "You do know that I almost got married, right?"

I squeezed her hands gently and she looked at me again. "I'm fully aware of that, but none of it will deter my mind. Everything happened for a reason, Bella. And maybe the reason is for us to be together."

Her eyes turned glossy and then she leaned her head on the crook of my neck. "Oh, Edward."

I squeezed her arm gently. "Let's go to sleep. We can talk more tomorrow."

She nodded and wrapped her arm on my waist. "Best weekend ever," she murmured and I laughed lightly.

Best lunch date and best weekend ever, indeed.

Where can we find a man like this Edward these days? *sighs*

Review means love :)

Thank you ^^
