Ch 21
BPOV.
Mondays. I freaking hated Mondays. Even if I now officially was Edward Cullens girlfriend. Again. It was definitely a perk but the downside that came with it was hard to handle. I thought I knew, but I didn't know until I was attacked outside Em and Roses place. I was photographed while getting in and out of the car, I could hear their cameras clicking even though they were behind gates. I didn't understand how they could find me this interesting.
Outside of the building where we worked the papparazzis were camped outside and ran after us in the underground garage. Emmet cursed and made some calls and immediately the security ushered them outside.
As I sat back and tried to process this mega madness Emmet turned in his seat and looked at me "You sure you can handle this Squirt?"
"Yes Emmet, I'll have to learn to live with it." I sighed.
"Ok, I'll drop you ladies off and then I'll be back with lunch. Call me if you want something and call me if anything happens. As long as you stay inside the building you're safe."
Me and Rose climbed out of the car and went about our day. Edward called several times. And texted even more. I thought I would feel suffocated but instead I felt like a teenager again. It was fun and it brought a smile on my face.
R U ok? How did it go? Let me know. x E
I'm fine. At work. Call u later. xB
Ok. Miss you. – E
Already? – B
Always. – E
This of course made me giggle and Rose shot me a look that clearly stated she thought I was being ridiculous.
I stuck my tongue at her and kept on working. Alice was in the same state of bliss as I was and we giggled like schoolgirls when we were alone. In the studio though we were professionals and we focused on our task.
Today was like any other day, skinny models, bad light and pimples. But we figured it all out. At lunch Emmet came barging in with food and Edward in tow. He surprised the shit out of me by sitting in my office. And twirling in my chair.
"Shit, hi!" I smiled.
He stood up and I went over to him and embraced him. "I'm so glad you're here." I said in to his chest.
"Me too." He kissed my hair. "I just couldn't stay away."
"I didn't want you to." I smiled up at him and he kissed me on the lips. It soon turned into something more and we were making out in my office. Pretty hot if you ask me. The fun stopped when my stomach grumbled and we both laughed.
"Good thing I brought actual food huh?"
"Mmm" I answered as my eyes devoured the food.
We sat in silence and ate and talked. It was nice.
"Don't you have somewhere you need to be? Or do you have a day off?" I asked
"No I cleared my schedule for the time being."
"What? Why?" I asked in shock.
"I want to spend time with you." He murmured as he held my chin and wiped some sauce from the corner of my mouth.
"Edward." I was a little pissed."Don't you think that it's a little suspicious that you clear your schedule at the same time the media finds out about your new girlfriend?"
"I don't care." He shrugged.
"Edward!" I scolded. "This is your carrier! You have to be there for your fans and…." He interrupted my ramblings by kissing me.
"I said I don't care."
"Well I do!" I said.
He sighed at this and looked as if this was something he was tired of speaking of. "Bella, we just got together. I want to spend time with you and I would never ask you to take time of your job because I know our jobs are totally different. I can take time off because it's my time. And I chose to do it so it's nothing to discuss."
I sighed. I guess he was right about what he said. It was his choice. At least it wasn't the other way around, that he tried to make me take some days off or that he ran away and blamed his job.
We ate in silence after that and it was lovely. Edward was funny, he joked around and he was affectionate. I had never felt as adored and precious as I did when I was with Edward. It could be the smallest things he noticed, like how I had this stray hair in my eyebrow and he thought it was the cutest thing. Or how I sat with my left leg folded under my butt when I sat.
Lunch went by all too fast and before I knew it Alice was knocking on my door and saying that my next shoot was up in 10 minutes.
"Oh shit, I gotta go!" I jumped up and kissed Edward quickly and tried to pull away but he held me by my waist and deepened the kiss until I got all hot and bothered.
He released me but gave me a quick peck on the mouth "God I love your lips." He pecked me on the lips again and said good bye. He stopped with his hand on the doorknob and turned to me
"I was hoping you could come by my place later this evening. We could watch a movie or something." He was trying for casual but it didn't really work for him. I smiled at him and said
"We'll see, I have tons of work to do, I try to finish every day or else shit piles up and then my weekends are ruined. I'll call you, ok?"
"You could work at my place you know…" he trailed off. I laughed and went to the door to kiss him and said "I'll call you." He grabbed me and gave me a long, passionate kiss before he said "I just want to be with you, wherever that may be. Call me please and I'll miss you until you do."
He opened the door and as he stepped out the model for the next shoot came down the hall. Tanya Denali. I had totally forgot about her and Edward being a thing a while back. I had forgot to ask him about it.
And here she was in all her glory. Edward froze at the sight of her and she perked up when she saw him.
"Edwaaard! Oh my gosh it's been so long!" She strolled up to Edward and kissed him on the lips. What. The. Fuck.
I saw how Edward tried to peel her off and stepped back. "Tanya. Hi. Uuuuh."
"I haven't seen you in forever and then I hear you have a girlfriend, but that can't be true since you told me that you don't do the girlfriend thing." She laughed at her own joke but it was forced, she was fishing for information.
Edward replied with another "eeeeh well… I…" he looked at me for help.
Oh great Mr song writer always out of words. I guess I had to step in.
"Ms. Denali it's a pleasure to meet you." I extended my hand for her to shake and she refocused on me and her eyes frosted over when she saw me. "Who are you?" she asked in an almost angry tone.
"I'm Bella Swan, the photographer doing this shoot." She immediately perked up and said "Oh, well hello, my assistant will tell you what I need. Laurent!" She called for the assistant and dismissed me and focused on Edward again.
Bitch please. I'm bringing out the big guns.
"I'm sorry." She looked at me again "Talking to assistants is not part of my job description, but your assistant can talk to my assistant. Now I have to get everything set up." I turned to Edward and in a very deliberate move gave him a kiss on the cheek and said "I'll call you later babe. Let's definitely meet at your place." I winked at him and he grinned a grin so big it was about to split his mouth in two.
"Please do, love. I'll miss you." Oh now he was just showing off. I refused to kiss him on the mouth since the shedevil had had her mouth there not a minute ago. He better brush his teeth first or something.
I left a smiling Edward and a fuming Tanya in the hallway and went off to the studio. I asked Angela to deal with Laurent and I started setting everything up. Alice came dancing in and asked what the hell was wrong with Tanya Denali since she had a shitfit in wardrobe.
"Beats me sugar. She maybe needs to make some lemonade with all them lemons."
"Oh you are evil. Pure evil. Tell me you didn't."
I looked at her with the most innocent look "Did what Alice dear?"
She grinned and laughed and high fived me. I didn't even have to tell her what I had done. She knew me so well.
The photoshoot with Tanya wasn't very pleasant and she wasn't being very cooperative but she didn't know that it only gave me more satisfaction the worse she behaved. At the end she came up to me and said "You know he'll just dump your ass when he's finished fucking you." The only thing that hurt about that statement was the picture I got of her and Edward but I held my pokerface and shrugged "Well then I'll just have to keep my legs closed won't I? Take care Tanya."
I felt kind of sorry for her but that didn't mean that I felt sorry for Edward. He had some explaining to do tonight...
AN: ooohoooohh... Edward's in trouble.
