Realistic Love
Chapter 21
Edward's POV
Today we have to go back home to reality, how did that happen so fast, it seems like yesterday we arrived and were married. When I made love to my beautiful Bella, I was so frightened I was going to hurt her, but she allayed my fears saying she trusted me implicitly. If I learned anything from my brief separation from the love of my existance, it was to listen to her and have faith. I did have faith and we both had the most amazing night of our lives. I was brought out of my thoughtfest when Bella flopped herself onto the bed with a sigh.
"I don't want to leave, I want stay here forever. We could stay in this room and never have to worry about anything ever again."
"I know my love, I don't want to leave either, but I really don't want Charlie going on a manhunt for me and shooting my ass," I tossed myself down on the bed next to her and kissed her passionately.
"You're right; it wouldn't end well if he finds us shacked up in a hotel and I like your cute ass just the way it is, no bullet holes," she giggled and pulled me in for another kiss. Her speed never ceases to amaze me because as fast as lightening, her warm little hand was firmly wrapped around my already hardening member and stroking me.
"Bella my love, we have to get ready to go."
"Not yet, we have time for a quickie," and when her thumb circled my tip I moaned and effectively lost any argument that was left in me as I pressed my lips to hers.
I pulled her onto my chest and slid my hands up her sides removing the baby blue tank top that was keeping me from her glorious peaks. She wiggled on top of me and I instantly flipped her so I was now hovering over her in the center of the bed rubbing my length against her.
"Oh Edward," she moaned softly.
"Yes, my love," I started kissing down her neck until I came to her perfectly pink buds, taking one at a time into my mouth and lightly biting it with my lips which caused her to purr.
"Mmmmm…more," as if I would deny her anything.
As I continued to my ministrations I felt her legs lift which sent her arousal wafting up to me. She hooked her feet in my pajama pants and pushed them down.
"Hmm, it seems someone has too many clothes on," I teased and ripped her shorts off.
"Fuck, I love when you rip my clothes off."
"So do I, one less thing to pack. Now I believe you wanted a quickie," she moaned as I buried myself to the hilt in her searing core which, in turn, caused me to moan.
I pulled out almost all the way and slid right back in. "Fuck, you're so tight, wet and hot, always so wet for me," I grunted out.
"Only you, you're mine, now faster."
"Yours and only yours," I could feel the coil in my stomach tightening and knew it was not going to be long before we were both going to explode.
"Ugh, shit, Edward, I'm going to cum," I reached down and flicked her clit with my thumb.
"EDWARD!" she screamed and clamped down releasing her sweet juices onto my cock and with one more thrust, I screamed "BELLA!" and spilled my cool seed into her warmth.
We both lay there in each other's arms coming down from our high and whispering 'I love you's' to one another when my phone beeped with a text and we both groaned.
"Who is it?"
"Alice."
"Damn, it was so nice not being bothered by anyone. What does the pixie want?"
"She said and I quote: 'E, Put it back in your pants, it's time to go home.A'"
"Well, I don't want it back in your pants yet," she pouted, reaching over and kissing me.
"Neither do I, in fact, I think I'm going to give up wearing pants entirely," she giggled and my phone beeped again. "Ugh."
"EDon't make me send Emmett in there, you know I will. You have a half hour to meet us in the lobby.A"
We laughed and knew we had to get ready now. "Sorry Love, you know she will send him and he'll have no compunction whatsoever in breaking the door down. And, you know if he comes in here he'll have a field day."
"You're right, I'm hopping in the shower and then I need to run downstairs to get my dad a Vegas souvenir so he knows I was actually here."
"Good plan, I'll pack, umm…what's left of our clothes."
She giggled. "Glad I saved a pair of panties otherwise I'd be going commando and we both know what that knowledge does to you."
"Yeah, fortunately I do, but don't feel compelled to wear them on my account," I laughed.
I heard the water hitting her body and started to feel aroused again, I so wanted to join her. Without permission my feet started moving and I found myself standing in the bathroom. Just as I was reaching up to the shower curtain, my phone beeped.
EDON'T YOU DARE, GET OUT OF THERE NOW!A
Bella's POV
As I was getting into the shower I had to laugh because after the first day in our room, I realized that everything we put on seemed to end up shredded somehow. I purposely placed an outfit for each of us in a separate drawer so we'd have something to wear home on Sunday. Good thing I did because it didn't take long for my last pair of panties to be shredded and his last shirt to lose its buttons that day.
As I was showering I thought I felt him in the bathroom with me, but then I heard the phone beep and I moved the curtain to find he wasn't there. Weird, must have been imagining things.
I finished showering and dressed quickly because I knew if I didn't get clothes on, Edward and I would end up having sex again and then we were going to have Emmett breaking the door down. I seriously didn't want that to happen since he'd smell the sex everywhere and I mean everywhere, not to mention the minute scraps of fabric that were probably all over the place that I couldn't see, but a vampire could. We'd never hear the end of it.
I walked out to my husband and wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him, "I'll see you downstairs, I love you."
"Yes, I'll be down in about 10 minutes. I love you so very much," he said as his arm wrapped around me and his hand caressed my cheek.
"So why is it we're going home again?"
"Because you don't want me to get shot, remember?"
"Yes," and, with one more quick kiss, I left for the lobby.
I quickly made my way down to the jewelry store and noticed that the item in the window I saw the first night here was gone. I decided to go in and see if maybe they moved it having redone their display.
"Excuse me, but there was something in the window I saw the other night, two hearts?"
"Oh yes, I remember that piece, we've had it for quite a while, but someone came in just yesterday and bought it. I'm sorry it was single originally designed piece."
I was so disappointed, I really would have like that piece, but I guess it wasn't meant to be. Just then I had an inspiration, I wanted to get Edward something which I could give him on the plane on the way home. I told the gentleman what I was looking for and he pulled out the most beautiful linked piece.
"That's perfect, I'll take it. Can you wrap it up?"
"No problem, Miss. Here you go. Whoever is getting this is one lucky person."
"It's for my husband. We just got married this weekend," wow I just realized he's the first person I said it out loud to that I was married and I liked it. Have to do it again while I can.
"Congratulations, and I'm sure he's going to love it."
"Thank you," I put the box in my bag and headed over to the clothing store.
Surprisingly, they had a whole bunch of t-shirts with different fish and sayings on them. I quickly selected one with his favorite fish, a few other things maybe for Christmas and paid for them.
As I approached the lobby, I was smiling ear-to-ear just thinking about everything. I was so happy. Before I even made it to where they were standing, Edward quickly ran to my side and wrapped his arm around me. God how I missed him and it was only like fifteen minutes. I gave him a kiss on the cheek and snuggled into his side.
"Now these emotions I can live with from you, but if I start giggling like a school girl, it's all your fault Bella," Jasper teased.
"I'm just so happy; this has been the best weekend of my life. Where's Em….," before I could finish Emmett grabbed me out of Edward's arms and started swinging me around.
"Mrs. Cullen, congratulations. This is your official welcome to the family hug."
"Thanks, can't breathe, getting dizzy."
"Emmett, please put my wife down."
"Of course little brother, I totally understand, you need a welcome to the family hug too!" and with that Emmett scooped Edward up and swung him around welcoming him to the family.
"Emmett - please - put - my husband down, I might need him later," I couldn't help but laugh and everyone else too.
"Okay, but does anyone else need a hug before we go?"
"I would love one my sweet, sweet husband of mine," Rose said. He scooped her up into a big hug before putting her down and kissing her lovingly on the lips.
"I don't know Emmett, Edward and I are kind of jealous we didn't get a kiss too," I teased.
"Yeah Emmett, what's up with that?" Edward said while laughing. God I love this new happy Edward.
"Hey, my lady comes first, I'll get you guys later," he winked at us and with that we head to the limo for our flight.
Edward's POV
When I arrived in the lobby, I was so elated it was beyond words that Jasper started laughing. I knew it was because of me and then I saw Bella who was smiling too. I guess between the both of us, he was getting a double dose. I quickly ran to her side, took her bags and my love gave me a kiss snuggling into my embrace.
That didn't last long when Emmett appeared out of nowhere, scooping her up with an 'official welcome to the family hug.' Even though I knew it wasn't a good idea to ask him to put my wife down because he was squeezing the stuffing out of her, I did and before I knew it he turned to me and I was now being hugged and welcomed to the family. I couldn't help but laugh at his craziness. He truly loved all of us unconditionally.
As we rode to the airport, I looked to Alice to see if she was able to get what I wanted. 'Edward, I slipped it in your bag while you were being welcomed to the family,' Alice thought to me with a huge grin on her face. I mouthed a 'thank you' to her.
After our flight took off and we leveled out, I decided now was time. I reached down into my bag from under the seat and turned to Bella. At the same time she was facing me saying my name too.
"Bella."
"Edward, you go first."
"I bought you something."
"Me too," and we each exchanged boxes.
"Go ahead open it," I waited nervously for her to lift the lid.
She gasped and looked at me with her eyes as wide as saucers, "Oh My God Edward, how did you know, I wanted this… then it was gone when I went back this morning. Thank you, it's beautiful. It reminded me of your eyes when I saw it."
I took the double heart yellow diamond ring out of the box and placed it on her finger with a kiss.
"Bella, I know when we go back you're not going to be able to wear your engagement or wedding band. I thought this would be a perfect substitute for the time being, this way you can tell everyone that it was an anniversary gift from me, but we will know what it truly means," and the smile on her face said it all.
"Oh Edward, I love you," she threw her arms around me and kissed my desperate lips.
"Now open yours," I swear I was never so excited about a gift before, well then again, this was from my Bella.
I opened the box and it was an intricately woven chain. I never wore jewelry before, well except my new wedding band now, but this was simple and elegant.
"Bella, this is exquisite, just like you," yeah I was gushing like a school girl and I could care less.
"Well, I was thinking because you're not going to be able to wear your wedding band that you could wear it on the chain. This way it will be always with you."
"My love, it's perfect and you know it would just be killing me not to be able to wear my wedding band, but this way I will be able to feel it next to my heart and think of you."
Bella's POV
I was shocked that we both thought the same thing that when we went back to reality we weren't going to be able to wear our rings. I was so happy to have something to wear to school and tell everyone about. Well this way maybe it will keep Newton and the others away from me and the girls away from my Edward.
Not that I was jealous or anything, but Edward was MINE and everyone knew we were dating. However, some people had no scruples or compunction whatsoever about going after another's boyfriend. I also didn't want the boys all over me either, which would cause Edward to growl and be distressed over their improper thoughts of me. Hopefully, this would keep them all at bay.
As I snuggled closer to Edward, my mind wandered to our almost mile high membership on the flight here. I wonder, hmmm, maybe now that we're married. I think I want to test that theory out, so I started sliding my hand up his thigh which caused him to shift in his seat.
"Bella, what are you doing?" he whispered to me.
"Nothing," I slid it all the way and moved my hand to his chest, but not before letting my fingers graze his length which was starting to harden.
"Nothing, huh, hmmm doubt that very much," his hand was sliding up my side before it cupped my breast which made my hand drop to his lap.
Well since I was there already, I rubbed him a bit.
"Meet me in the bathroom," I whispered knowing full well they all heard me, but I didn't care since I knew I was going to have to learn to live with the fact that there was no privacy among vampires and I wanted him NOW!
"Go, I'll be right behind you," I got up and walked to the bathroom, but not before Alice gave me a knowing smirk and shook her head. Yeah, she's one to talk; our lust will be benefiting her too.
I slipped into the bathroom, positioned myself up on the sink and not a minute later Edward joined me. It was going to be tight in here.
"So my love did you miss me?"
"Most definitely, it was far too long," I leaned in to kiss him while my hand found its way to his already hardened clothed covered shaft. He moaned when my hand rubbed him before I moved up to undo his button and zipper. At the same time he was undoing mine.
"Careful, we need our clothes to walk out of here."
"So true, but if I had my way I'd rip these pants right off of you," shit that was hot.
"Well, maybe just the underwear then, since I don't need them to walk out of here."
"Damn Bella, you can't say stuff like that, it makes me want to fuck you seven ways to Sunday, but we don't have time or the room here," I loved making him become unglued.
"I'll take one way now and a rain check on the other six for tonight," I purred in his ear and with that my pants were discarded and he tore my panties off.
"My love you are going to be the death of me," and he slid two fingers into my already drenched pussy.
"Yes, oh god, need you…in…me… now!"
"So wet and wanting, mine."
"Yours, always yours, MINE!" I croaked out.
Just as I was on the precipice of cuming, he slipped his fingers out, instantaneously filling me with his cock and pumping furiously into me.
"Oh god Edward, I'm going to cum," I could feel him starting to twitch and I knew he was there too.
He reached down and flicked my clit once with his thumb and locked our lips to silence our screams as we came. We held onto each other until our breathing returned to normal and Edward helped me get my pants back on sans panties.
"Hmmm, maybe you could put these in our honeymoon scrapbook, they are scraps after all."
"Oh my god, I can't believe you just said that, what happened to my morally Victorian vampire?"
"I think you might have left him back in Vegas, because this one is now living in the twenty-first century. On second thought, I think these might just go in my private scrapbook," he slipped the lace scraps into his pocket.
I was in shock, not that I was complaining, but was marriage all it took for him to let go? If so, wow, just wow.
He walked out first and I followed about thirty seconds later. I almost made it to my seat unscathed, but I knew that was too much to hope for.
"So welcome to the mile high club," Emmett whispered to me as I walked by. My eyes went wide and cheeks burned with embarrassment.
"Leave her alone," Rose said.
"Oh come on babe, just having some fun with my new lil sis."
"Okay, but don't keep at her."
Rose just defended me, I really am family and just then I saw Edward glancing over at Emmett wiggling his eyebrows with a smile on his face. I am so in an alternate universe right now. I quickly ran the rest of the way to my seat and snuggled into Edward.
Charlie's POV
It's 6:30 pm Sunday evening and I was pacing the floor waiting for Bella to come home. I don't know why I was so nervous, maybe because I've become accustomed to her being here or was it my cop instincts kicking in that something might be wrong. Either way, I'll just be happy when she gets here and I know she's okay.
Ever since the Cullen family moved here, I've never had a problem with them; they were the most well behaved kids I've ever seen. Although, catching Alice and Jasper as well as Rose and Emmett at the point was no big deal since all the kids did that around here and they weren't harming anyone. Back in the day, I can recall taking Renee to a similar place just so we could be alone, so I understood the need, not that I would want my baby girl being taken there.
While waiting I kept thinking about her being friends with the Cullen's, especially Alice and Rosalie. She never really had friends before and this made me feel good that she finally has some girlfriends to talk to instead of keeping stuff all bottled up. I also liked how both Emmett and Jasper were very protective and supportive of her when she was going through that dark period which I loathe thinking about. They were like brothers and sisters to Bella which made me smile because being an only child can be lonely.
I was also really starting to like Edward, he respected Bella and I could see in his eyes that he did love her and she him. He made a mistake and after the last few weeks decided I would forgive him for it because we are all human and I was sure it wouldn't happen again. He made her happy and if she was happy, so was I, no living in the past and holding grudges.
When I heard the car pull up I held myself back from running out the door and looking like an overprotective crazy parent. Even though I was one, I didn't want everyone else to see it or have her feel smothered. I slowly walked to the door and opened it.
Edward was already out of the car and grabbing her bag from the trunk while Jasper helped her out of the car. I have to give Carlisle and Esme credit they have raised their boys to be gentlemen.
Edward moved to Bella's side and wrapped his arm around her and just then I saw a glint of something on her hand. Oh please tell me they're not engaged at this young age. I stepped out onto the porch to greet them.
"Hi Charlie," Alice waved enthusiastically at me while Jasper gave me a nod. I smiled and waved back.
"Alice, Jasper, nice to see you."
"Bella, sweetheart welcome home, I missed you," I reached out and hugged her.
"Edward," I reached out to shake his hand.
"Chief, good to see you, I'll just bring in Bella's bag and be going."
"Please call me Charlie and yes come on in for a moment."
"Bella let me get your coat. Did you girls have a nice trip?" I need to ask about that ring.
"Dad it was great, the hotel was beautiful. Alice had all sorts of things planned, she's amazing. I missed you though; hope you ate while I was gone."
"Of course I ate, I'm not totally helpless. I see you have a new piece of jewelry, did you buy it there? I know how much Alice likes to shop," there that was easy.
"No, actually this evening when we met the guys in the airport Edward gave this to me as an anniversary present. Isn't it beautiful?" she proudly held her hand out to me so I could inspect the ring.
"Yes, it's lovely and very thoughtful of Edward. Looks very unique, fits you perfectly."
"Thanks dad, and speaking of gifts, I got you something from Vegas. I hope you like it," as if I wouldn't like anything my baby girl gave me.
"Wow, this is an awesome shirt, my favorite fish, the pike. I'll be certainly wearing this often. Speaking of fish, Edward, since the weather is going to be warm this Saturday, would you like to go fishing?"
Edward's POV
As we pulled up to Bella's I could hear Charlie's thoughts and couldn't help laughing.
"What's so funny?"
"Well love, your dad wants to run out of the house to meet you, but doesn't want to look overprotective, so he's playing it cool."
"That's definitely a good thing," I leaned over to give my love another kiss and she wrapped her hands tightly in hair. Oh how I loved that feeling.
"Alright you lovebirds, knock it off, we're here. Besides, it's not like you're not going to be back here tonight in a little bit anyway," Alice said while rolling her eyes.
I exited the car to retrieve Bella's suitcase while Jasper helped her out of the car. I went over and wrapped my arm around Bella to walk her to the door. That's when I heard the Chief's thought 'oh please tell me they're not engaged at this young age' I immediately stiffened.
I just had to remember that if there was a problem Alice would have told me, so I relaxed myself and decided that whatever came our way, we would handle it together. I had to have faith.
"Hi Charlie," my exuberant sister yelled.
"Alice, Jasper, nice to see you."
"Bella, sweetheart welcome home, I missed you."
"Edward," I was shocked that he reached out and shook my hand.
"Chief, good to see you, I'll just bring in Bella's bag and be going."
"Please call me Charlie and yes come on in for a moment," now I know why Alice was blocking her thoughts from me earlier.
"Bella let me get your coat. Did you girls have a nice trip?" I cringed when he thought, 'I need to ask about that ring.'
"Dad it was great, the hotel was beautiful. Alice had all sorts of things planned, she's amazing. I missed you though; hope you ate while I was gone," oh there were plans, but none of that included us being with Alice.
"Of course I ate, I'm not totally helpless. I see you have a new piece of jewelry, did you buy it there? I know how much Alice likes to shop."
"No, actually this evening when we met the guys in the airport Edward gave this to me as an anniversary present. Isn't it beautiful?" 'phew, anniversary gift.'
"Yes, it's lovely and very thoughtful of Edward. Looks very unique, fits you perfectly," 'but it looks like it cost a small fortune.'
"I found it in this small shop where we stayed and the moment I saw it, I knew it was the perfect anniversary gift. Someone had it specially made and never picked it up, so they were willing to sell it at a significant discount," okay it wasn't a total lie, just the anniversary part.
"Thanks dad, and speaking of gifts, I got you something from Vegas. I hope you like it."
"Wow, this is an awesome shirt, my favorite fish, the pike. I'll be certainly wearing this often. Speaking of fish, Edward, since the weather is going to be warm this Saturday, would you like to go fishing?" 'definitely need to get to know him better because he's giving my baby girl jewelry.'
"I would very much enjoy going on Saturday, but I just need to check with my parents. Can I let you know later?"
"Of course, that would be fine. I'm going back in to watch the rest of the game, so goodnight Edward," he reached out, shook my hand again and quickly exited leaving me with my Bella.
I wrapped my arms around her and leaned over and whispered in her ear, "I think that went well Mrs. Cullen."
"It most certainly did Mr. Cullen. When will you be back?"
"An hour at the most, but I'm going to check with Alice about Saturday's weather so I can call you dad. He's really looking forward to going and I don't want to disappoint him, but if you'd rather do something else that day, I could always beg off for another time."
"As much as I want to go out Saturday with you, I think it's more important that you go with Charlie, he's making a real effort and I won't stand in his way. Besides, we'll have the evening when you get home."
"Yes, we will," I leaned over to give my lovely wife a kiss and before I knew it were making out like two teenagers, which we were! I finally broke away when I knew she needed to breathe.
"I love you my darling."
"I love you too and I'll see you later," smiling she walked me to the door and I leaned down for another quick kiss.
I jumped back in the car and the two of them descended on me like wolves.
"Saturday's weather will be perfectly fine so you can go, I don't see any problems with it. Maybe Bella will want to come over while you're gone or we can go to a movie."
"So little brother, how does it feel to be married? You look very relaxed," he grinned at me.
"It feels great and I am relaxed, but I hate that we can't tell anyone yet. I miss her already," 'sex will definitely relax you' he thought and I couldn't help but smile.
"I hate to break it to you Edward, but it's always going to feel like that when you leave her, even when you live together and you're just going to hunt. I feel like that when I leave Alice to go with you guys just for a short hunt or she goes shopping with the ladies. In fact, we all feel that way, but Carlisle and Esme are better at not letting it get to them then we are since he goes to the hospital basically every day," well that was not the answer I expected.
"Incidentally, I want to thank you and Emmett for the surprise of another one of Emse's family recipe drinks."
"Glad you enjoyed it, too bad we couldn't have been flies on the wall to see your face. You know we'd do anything for our little sister and getting to surprise you is always an added bonus."
"Alice is everything going to be okay on Saturday?"
"Yes, fine, perfect in fact."
"So you fishing, who would have thought, do you even know how to fish?" Jasper questioned.
"No - I actually don't, but thought I could Google it."
"I thought as much and the internet might be helpful, but you're going to need to have some actual practice casting a line. After school, we will take the fishing poles out back and I'll show you how it's done."
"You know how to fish Jasper?"
He rolled his eyes at me, "of course, what good southern boy doesn't, besides I grew up in a time where fishing wasn't a sport, it was for putting food on the table."
"Sorry, I forget how old you are sometimes. I would very much appreciate any pointers you can give me so I can bond with Charlie."
"We'll ask Emmett to join us too."
"Emmett, really, do we have to?"
"Yes, he's a good ole country boy and you're probably going to need a lot of help. Charlie thinks we camp all the time so you need to be proficient.
Listen, I'm only going to say this once to you, but we are your family and love you. We want things to go good with Charlie so when the time comes and you do publicly marry Bella, he will have no reservations about handing his only daughter off to you. I know Emmett can play the fool and has no filter on his mouth, but don't doubt him you just have to accept that is the way he is and move on. So for everyone's sake, lighten up on him like you did on the plane and just go with the flow as it tends to stop him from escalating. He loves you and Bella more than you could ever imagine, I feel it rolling off him in waves every time he's around you two. He also likes making her blush and getting a rise out of you. Well, we all get a kick out of her blushing."
"Thanks you're right, I definitely can use all the help I can get. I want this to go well and I do know you guys love me, just this all so new and the over protectiveness is becoming more prominent, but I'm trying."
"Good, now enough sappy talk before both of us lose our 'Man Cards.' Incidentally, that feeling of increased over protectiveness is because you're married and have consummated the relationship. That will never change; you just have to learn to live with it."
This was the most Jasper has said in a long time and he's right about Emmett, I just need to lighten up. I'm also surprised by what he said concerning the over protectiveness and missing Bella. I had no idea, but then again just thinking about it, they never really leave each other for extended periods of time. I probably should talk to Carlisle about this in more detail, but I'm going to need a way to get into the topic without seeming obvious, maybe looking to the future, etc. for when we get married. I wonder if Bella is feeling the same way too.
We arrived home in no time and while I waited, I just let the weekend run through my mind. Finally, after what would have been an appropriate amount of time that it would have taken for us to drive home at the speed limit, I dialed Charlie.
"Hello Charlie, this is Edward."
"Hello Edward, what can I do for you?"
"I just wanted to let you know that I'll be able to go fishing with you on Saturday. What time should I be at your house?"
"Excellent, 4:30 am would be good, but if that's too early, how about 5 am."
"No, Charlie, 4:30 am is fine since we don't want to get too late of a start and miss all the good fish. I'm really looking forward to it."
"4:30 am it is, I'll see you then."
Now that that is settled, I can head over to my lovely wife for the evening.
