Ghostly Double

Chapter 21

EPOV

Bella's birthday had turned out like nothing I could have ever imagined. I was glad I was able to make it special for her. The whole experience was literally electrifying beyond belief. We still couldn't figure out what the vibrating hum was that surrounded us. I knew there was only one person I could talk to about it...was my mom.

I had gotten Bella home before her curfew and headed home with the biggest smile on my face. Everyone was already in bed when I walked in. I needed to shower, but Bella's smell was all over me and I wanted to remember our night just a little longer. It was like it was our first time all over again and the few other times we'd been together never happened.

The next morning, I walked into the kitchen and my mom was hovering over the stove making some kind of breakfast. "Morning, honey. You and Bella have a good night last night?"

"Yeah, we did. It was...unbelievable," I said as I sat down at the table. She walked over and gave me a small kiss on my cheek.

She looked at me quizzically. "You look different this morning. You do something different with your hair?"

I shook my head. "No, just extremely happy, that's all."

"I can see that. You want some breakfast? I made some sausage gravy and biscuits." I told her yes and she stepped back over to the stove and began plating up some food. "One or two biscuits?"

"Two; I'm starving," I replied, getting up to grab the juice from the fridge.

Mom sat my plate down and grabbed the jelly because she knew I loved to have it with my gravy and biscuits. It's just something about the salty and sweet of it that I love.

I was contemplating whether or not I should ask her about what happened, and I knew she was the only one who could answer me. I hoped Bella wouldn't kick my ass for bringing it up to my mom of all people, but I needed to know, so I drew in a deep breath after I swallowed my first bite.

"Um...I need to talk to you about something," I said. "Something happened last night and you're the only person I can talk to about this considering you're a witch and all." I smiled up at her knowing how weird it sounded calling her a witch, so I started with how our night began. She was listening attentively as I tried to explain what happened. I didn't give her every detail. That would've been too much, even for me, to handle. "We've been intimate before and it never happened. I don't know what's happened."

"First of all, please tell me you two were careful. I'm happy you two are together and she's definitely the right girl for you. Bella's perfect, but an unplanned pregnancy isn't something you two need right now." She smiled lightly as she talked and patted my hand. "I know you love each other and I won't sit here and chastise you two for not waiting until you're married. Your father and I didn't and I don't want to be one of those hypocritical parents. Being safe is critical, though; you're both still in school and so young."

"I know and she's on the pill. Her mom suggested it when she noticed we were getting serious," I explained. She nodded her understanding.

She sighed. "Honey, the pill isn't 100%, so let's hope she takes her pill like she's supposed to and I'm gonna suggest you use condoms."

I nodded, letting her know that I heard her, but honestly, I probably wouldn't use a condom after already experiencing sex without one.

"Now, as far as this vibrating, humming feeling you experienced last night, I'm not sure. I haven't heard of anything like that before, but I assure you, I'll be reading some of my books to find out. It could be something so ancient that hasn't happened in a long time. Maybe a hundred or more years," she said before standing up from the table.

I thought for a minute and something came to mind. "Hey, you think maybe it has something to do with the fact that you're a witch and I'm your son?"

"I'm not sure. I've never heard of a female witch passing her gifts on to her son. It's always been the female offspring that inherit the powers if the mother is a witch and vice-versa. If your dad was a Warlock then you would've more than likely inherited it from him," she explained, still looking quizzically at me. "I'll do a lot of reading and get back to you."

"Okay, thanks mom and thanks for not lecturing me too much about mine and Bella's personal life. I'm sure she's already gonna kill me for even talking to you about it. She's very private about stuff like that around other people."

"You're welcome, honey. Do you two have plans today?" She asked, putting the remainder of the breakfast into storage containers.

I nodded, getting up from the table to take my empty plate to the sink. "Yeah, we're just having a lazy day. Alice and Jasper were gonna come over, too, but I guess they had plans."

"Okay, well, I'll be here if you need me. I'll start reading while I wait between loads of laundry," she said, putting the food into the fridge. "Your dad's out doing some manly stuff. Who knows what. He probably dragged Phil and Evan along."

An hour later I was at Bella's house. We had changed as soon as I got there and were lounging by the pool. It was a perfectly warm day for September, which wasn't unusual.

Bella and I couldn't stop touching each other as we swam around the pool. The way she looked at me every few minutes told me she thought about the night before. To be honest, it was all I was thinking about and couldn't wait to do it again.

Sometime around noon, her mom came out and brought us some lunch. I noticed Bella looked a little nervous and apprehensive like she had something to say, but didn't know how to say it.

As we loaded food onto our plates, she immediately began to eat and kept looking up at me through her eyelashes. After a few bites, she cleared her throat. "Um...I never did tell you about my dream."

"You don't have to; it was just a dream, right?" I said, shoving a piece of pineapple into my mouth.

She nodded. "Yeah, but I want you to know."

"Okay," I agreed. "Then tell me."

She proceeded to tell me about her dream. I was dumbfounded and a little freaked, so I grabbed her hand and pulled her over to sit on my lap. "Well, it sucks for him because he can't have what he doesn't have anymore. I've suffiently marked my territory on you." I pressed a kiss to her neck. "Speaking of...how's things feeling down there?"

"Fine; just a little sore," she admitted, although I could tell by the look in her eyes that she was ready for more.

"Since we're having a little heart to heart about stuff, I have something to tell you, too," I said, smiling at her shyly. "I talked to my mom this morning. I wanted to know if maybe she knew anything about what we felt last night with the vibrating and humming sound."

She hopped off my lap. "Edward, you talked to your mom about us; about what we did?"

"Baby, don't blow this way too out of proportion. She won't say anything, okay. Plus, she's gonna do some reading and see if she can find out what that might have been." I reached out for her hand. "Come back over here."

She sat back on my lap and wrapped one arm around my neck. "Well, I guess both our moms know, then. Mom noticed as soon as I walked into the kitchen this morning. It was like I had a freakin' billboard across my forehead that you and I have been having sex."

"She had to know it would happen sooner or later. Mom lectured me about being safe and suggested that we use condoms," I said, kissing her neck up to her ear.

She leaned her head to the side to give me better access. "Do you wanna use condoms? I take my pill on time every day."

"After not using any, I don't think I want to. Just keep taking that pill religiously, okay, then we won't have anything to worry about." I continued kissing along her neck and over her chest. I snuck a finger inside her bikini top and brushed it over her nipple. It hardened the moment I touched it causing her to moan.

"Edward," she moaned. "You need to stop. My mom's right inside. What if she sees us?"

"As much as I want to take you right here, I won't. And just so you know, I want more. I'm addicted to you," I said, giving her nipple a little pinch then rubbing my thumb over her pebbled peak.

She chuckled at me. "Typical male."

I stayed for dinner and left for home around ten. We had school the next day and I was pretty tired from a full day of swimming.

On Thursday night, my parents had dinner plans with Bella's parents. I was already at her house when they left. As soon as they pulled out of the driveway, we took full advantage of the quiet house.

We couldn't get our clothes off fast enough.

As soon as I pushed inside Bella, I was in pure bliss. "I'll never get tired of this feeling."

Our first round was rushed but satisfying. Then round two was slower with more passion and a couple of different positions.

Satisfaction was apparent on our faces.

I released her legs and flopped down on the bed beside her. "I guess we were both pretty eager for that, huh?"

"Mhm..." She hummed. I rolled to my side, looking at the love of my life. "SIX times a charm. I didn't know you were so...dirty. It's almost like you've done this before."

"First of all, more than a charm, baby," I retorted. "It was fuckin' awesome. Secondly, you're the only real experience I have, remember? I'm not counting Charlotte because she was, I don't know...blah. A dead lay after our first time. Plus, all I'm going by is what I want to do with you."

She playfully smacked my chest. "I'm willing on all counts." She sat up and grabbed my hand. "C'mon, let's clean up and go watch a movie."

We were halfway through the movie that we were barely watching because we couldn't keep our hands to ourselves, when her parents came home. I hopped up and was putting a DVD back on the shelf when Phil came in. "Hey, kids."

"Hey, Phil," we both replied. Bella sat up on the couch and turned to look at him. "Good dinner?"

"Yeah, we had Mexican. You guys need to come next time. I think you'd like it," Phil said, flopping down on the couch next to Bella.

I made my way back over to the couch. "That's cool. My parents come back with you?"

"No, they headed home. Your dad needed to get packed for our first away game tomorrow night. He wanted to be there for me and Evan. I'm lucky Renee packs for me or else I'd be left just wearing my boxers," he explained.

Bella and I both laughed. "Where's mom?" Bella asked, looking concerned for a moment. "She's usually trailing behind you when you get home."

Phil's face faltered. "Um...she was putting away the leftovers and needed to go to the bathroom." I had a feeling something happened.

Bella nodded her head then looked over at me. "Edward, can I talk to you for a minute?"

"Sure." We got up and walked out to the kitchen. "What's up?"

"I need to go make sure my mom's okay. I think she started her period while they were out. You're more than welcome to hang with Phil, if you want 'cause I don't know how long I'll be."

"It's okay; I'll just head home. I understand you need to be there for her." I placed a lingering kiss on her lips then pulled away. "I'll see you in the morning; I'm driving."

"I'm never driving, again, am I?"

I shook my head. "Nope, not since Anthony left his calling card for you; not gonna happen."

It was ten o'clock anyway, so I was only leaving a half hour early.

"Fine, I'll call you before I go to bed," she said, gesturing us toward the front door. When we got there, I leaned down and placed a long, lingering kiss on her lips. When I pulled away, she pulled my head down and placed her mouth on my neck. I felt her suck some skin into her mouth. I knew she was leaving a mark on me; I didn't care one bit. It wasn't often she did it, in the first place. I was the one usually leaving hickeys all over her.

"I love you. Please, drive safe," she said, pleadingly.

"I will. I love you, too," I said, swatting her ass as she turned to walk toward the stairs.

When I got home, I showered and made sure all my stuff was together for school the next day. I had a new pep to my step that I was sure anyone could notice. Jasper would probably be the first to question me about it since he was the one who helped me out with setting up our rendezvous spot. He knew we were having sex, but our experience the night before was one for the record books. I wouldn't lie to him, but I wasn't going into any details. Those were for me and Bella alone.

Before I settled into bed, I was thinking about Bella's mom. I knew her and Phil had been trying for a couple of months, to get pregnant. From what Bella had told me, Alice had a vision about them having a baby and now it would only be a matter of time. I only hoped they didn't have to wait too long.

Bella called me around eleven-thirty. Her talk with her mom must've been a long one. We didn't talk for long and I made sure I told her how much I loved her. She returned the sentiment before we hung up.

I laid back and thought about our night and how much I'm gonna love being with her even more. Yeah, that sounds like a guy thing to say, but I'm so in love with her that my heart feels like it literally skips a beat every time I'm with her.

Then it dawned on me. The vibrating and humming wasn't quite so noticeable this time around. With it being a different location than the last time we were intimate, I knew it had to do with us being together. I just didn't realize it would be that intense with each other. There was definitely something causing it and I only hoped my mom could figure it out.

I think I can get one more out tonight.
