I woke up to the annoying vibrations of my cell-phone's alarm on my coffee table.
I realized that Bella and I have shifted throughout the night, because from us sitting, with her cradled in my arms, we ended up laying down. I had Bella sleeping soundly against my chest with the blanket spread out around us. I could get used to this.. waking up with an angel in my arms.. then again who couldn't?
She stirred against me, and I quickly leaned to the side on the ledge of the sofa, to snatch the phone off the coffee table. I quickly silenced the alarm so Bella wouldn't wake up, thankfully she didn't. I leaned back into the couch, and popped open my cell phone. It was 6:15am, not my usual timing for school, but for today, it would just have to do. I snapped my phone shut and tossed it back onto the coffee table.
As much as I wanted to just lay here all day, with Bella in my arms, I knew we had to get to school. I hate school. Like I said, at least it was Friday, and my parents were gone for the whole weekend, so I'd get to spend it with Bella.
"Bella.." I stroke her hair gently. She groaned and hid her face into my chest.
"Sweetheart.. we have to get to school." Bella sighed, and lifted her face off my chest.
"Alright, alright.. I'm up." She yawned, and slowly pulled away from me, sitting up beside me.
"Good morning." I chuckled.
"Good morning." She mumbled.
"We have a while to get ready."
"UGH. School!" She rolled her eyes.
"Yeah.." I chuckled. "Do you need to shower or anything? We have tons of bathrooms, so its okay."
"I don't know what Pixie packed me." She widened her eyes. "What if I don't have another set of clothes! Ugh I'm so stupid, I should've packed myself!"
"Relax Bella, here let me see." I pulled the blanket off me and made my way over beside the staircase. I grabbed Bella's bag, and walked back over to her, taking a seat beside her on the couch. I set the bag down on my lap, and began unzipping it.
"Well.." I sighed.
"Well what?" She asked frantic now.
"Looks like Pixie packed for a vacation or something, Bella." I chuckled. There were at least three outfits packed- even pajamas, I could've sworn I saw a new tooth brush in there too, because it was still packaged.
"What? Let me see." She snatched the bag away from my arms and took a peek inside, before she started laughing.
"Wow, she thinks of everything doesn't she!" She laughed, and zippered up the bag.
"I guess she does." I chuckled.
Bella threw the bags strap over her shoulder, and stood. "Do you mind if I take a shower?" She smiled so innocently.
Bella Swan, taking a shower in my house. Jesus Christ. I'm going to kill myself. I would have to tie myself down, so I wouldn't do anything stupid.
I stared at her blankly. "Uh.. yeah- yeah sure." Bella Swan.. showering in my house?
She laughed. ".. Where is it?" Woah..
"Upstairs first door on the right." What?! What the hell was I saying?
"Thanks." She chuckled.. was she not uncomfortable? Showering in my, empty, house.. I mean no one was there but me and her? How could she be so bold? Was this the same Bella?
She winked at me and jogged up the stairs. As soon as she was out of site, I brought my knuckled ot my mouth and bit back a very frustrated groan. So damn tempting- I mean I knew I wasn't going to barge in on her, I knew better than that. I mean, I was a man but I was a gentlemen too. Besides, most likely she would be smart enough to lock the doors anyway.
So I quickly decided to distract myself, you know- get my mind off my beautiful girlfriend, who was showering upstairs. I jogged up the stairs, and headed straight for my room. I nearly had to sprint passed the first bathroom door on the right, I heard the water beating against the tile. But as I ran everything went by slow too, like in'em movies. I could've sworn I heard her singing too, or humming at least. Either way it was the most beautiful sound I've ever heard.
But sadly, I made it to my bedroom. I scurried over to my dresser and pulled out my clothes for the day, and jogged into my bedroom's own bathroom, thank God for that.. I didn't think I would be able to pass that door again, I would've knocked the door down if I had to, but what made it even more tempting is that, I knew she wouldn't reject me either.. all the more reason to stay away from her at this point.
I hopped into the shower, and nearly yelped at the cold water, apparently Bella was usin' up all the warm, I didn't mind. I'd rather freeze my ass, then have her get a cold or somethin' at my expense. I tried not to think that Bella was only a few rooms down, completely naked, showering. I could only imagine..
I shook my head, and I got shampoo in my eye again, dammit. I rinsed until the shampoo got out of my eye. I tried not to think about Bella, because then I'd have to start the whole calming process all over again. I turned off the shower, stepping out into the colder air. I quickly toweled off and threw on my sweats and hoodie, I gave up today, it was Friday, give me a break.
I brushed my teeth, again trying to keep my mind off Bella, besides, I'm sure she was long out the shower anyways, but still. In about two minutes, I'd see her, her hair all wet.. smelling incrediably delishious.. like freesia and strawberries. I sighed and brushed my fingers through my hair.
I rushed out of my room, only to find Bella in a towel, she jumped when she saw me.
"Oh- you scared me!"
"So-sorry!" I turned away, shielding my eyes.
"It's okay!" She laughed, I imagined the blush crawl up her cheeks. "It's my fault, I should've checked."
She was tryin' to kill me, damn woman. I was about to congratulate myself for not doin' anything stupid, and here she was in nothing but a towel, my towel.. I instantly recognized it. It was the blue one, my favorite.. dammit.. dammit dammit! I'd never wash that towel again.. especially how I saw it cling to her petite body.
"Uh.. I'm gonna be downstairs.. do you want any breakfast?" I said with my back to her..I don't know how I did it, but I apparently managed.
"Sure! I'll have whatever your having." I heard rusting.. dear God, she was probably adjusting my towel around her.
"Cereal." I blurted out.
"Okay Edward.." She laughed. "Sorry.. I couldn't get changed in there, it was too hot."
Too hot, damn!
This was torturous, was she trying to tease me? I felt the heat crawl up my neck.
"You can change in my room." I squeaked.
"I'm sorry what?"
"You.. can change in my room." I couldn't believe the truth in my own words. Did I actually just propose that?
"Thank you Edward." I jumped, she was right beside me.
I felt my eye twitch, I tried not to look away from her eyes, I couldn't.. I couldn't do that. I hissed under my breath.
She surprised me, by getting on her toes, and placing a kiss on my cheek, that was something I didn't expect.
"Go get dressed, Bella." I whispered.
"Mmm okay." She said against my cheek before kissing it again. I watched her trail off with her bag into my bedroom, which she managed to find herself, I guess it was because my bedroom door was open.
I slapped myself mentally, and made my way towards the kitchen.
I pulled out two cereal bowls from the cabinets, and placed them on the kitchen table. I made my way over to the fridge and got the milk. Once again, I tried to distract myself, trying not to think that Bella was upstairs.. changing in my room, my room. God damn. I almost spilled the milk by over-flowing it into the bowl, but I caught myself.
Apparently, your supposed to put the cereal in first, but I always did it this way anyways. I poured the Lucky Charms into the bowls, and made my way back over to the cabinets pulling out two spoons.
"Oh, that looks good." I whipped around to see Bella walking towards the table, taking a seat. "Oh! Lucky Charms my favorite! How'd you know?" She smiled as she began eating.
I shrugged taking a seat across from her, she was glowing.. even though it was cloudy outside. "Lucky guess.." I started eating, I tried not to stare at her.. I didn't want to make her uncomfortable.. but she was just so.. I don't even know, amazing for the lack of a better word.
"What are you staring at, Masen?" She laughed, swirling her spoon in the milk.
"Nothin'... nothin'.." I quickly darted my gaze back down at my half-eaten cereal.. I couldn't eat.. I couldn't focus on anything, not with her in my presence.
"Hm." She mumbled, taking a bite.
"Nice hair." I chuckled, her hair was still wet, but pulled into a messy bun on the top of her head.. it looked cute.
"Thanks." She mumbled. "I'm sorry- but I had to use your shampoo.. and body wash." She laughed. "I didn't know you were an Axe guy."
Bella used my stuff? I groaned, so tempting.
"Its okay.." I croaked.
She didn't say anything then, just smiled at me, and I was thankful for it. We finished our breakfast in comfortable silence, thats what I liked about Bella.. We both enjoyed each others company, we didn't find the need to always talk or somethin'.. quiet was good now and then.
"I'm full." Bella smiled and laid back into her seat, patting her stomach.
"Was it good?" I chuckled, getting out of my seat. I took out empty bowls to the sink.
"Yes- Edward.." I turned and she rose out of her seat. "Let me do the dishes, please?"
"No."
"Please? It's the least I could do."
"No." I turned around, and let the water run freely from the faucet.
"Please?" She wrapped her around around my torso. I instantly smelt her intoxicating scent around me.
"F..fine." I sighed.
She kissed my back and squirmed in front of me.
"You look like a housewife." I murmured after I recovered from her previous stunt. I wrapped my arms around her waist as I leaned into her. She washed the dishes so easily.
"Do I?" She turned her head back to face me.
"Yes." I winked.
"Well, I guess I'm your housewife for the moment." She kissed my nose and turned back to her task. She was drying the dishes now, she was faster than I was. Woman.
"Moment?" I pretended to sound hurt.
"Yep." She played along and popped the 'p'.
I whipped her around and wrapped my hands around her lower back, pulling her to me.
"Edward.. we're going to be late."
"I don't care." I kissed her chin.
"Well I do." She sighed, wrapping her arms around my neck.
"Will you be my wifey?" I chuckled jokingly.
"No."
"Why?" I laughed, she was too precious.
"No- seriously?" She laughed.
"I can be your hubby." I winked, kissing her neck, she laughed, I found her tickelish spot.
"Hmm.. as tempting as that sounds, I'm still going to have to decline that offer." She looked at me sweetly.
"Why?"
"Because, your worth more than being labeled as a hubby." She snickered the word, I didn't blame her.
"Fine then." I pretended to be hurt. I walked away from he and saw that she placed her bag by the front door.
She sighed but followed me, and waited by the front door.
I looked out into the living room to see that she even tidied up the place, a true house wife. I saw my leather jacket on the hook by the door too, along with my shoes, damn she was good.
I threw on my jacket, and my shoe's, today we'd take the Volvo.
"Thanks." I smiled.
"For?"
I nodded over towards the cleaned up living room.
"It was the least I could do." She smiled, I noticed Pixie packed her, her own jacket. Brown, it was defiantly her color, she looked gorgeous.
"One day I'll get you to marry me, Swan." I mumbled, guiding her out the front door.
"Did you say something?" She stood out on the front porch, and I turned to lock up the house, with my car keys at hand, she even put them back in my coat pocket so I wouldn't loose them, what an angel.
"Nothin', nothin'." I smiled widely.
Sorry, I couldn't update yesterday! I had all these last minute plans. Anyways. Hint, hint in this chapter.
