Hey all,
Wow less than a week! I'm getting better. Thank you for all the lovely reviews, i know it was really short last time but i just wanted to get a little something out plus i was abit stuck in my writing so i needed something to ease me back in. But hopefully you will all love this chapter, as there is only one more left after this *sobs*
This chapter and the next will have both Edward and Bella POV'S as i think that because its comming to an end you should see exactly how both characters have been affected.
Anywhoo onto the chapter.
Enjoy
Edward POV
I was awake, I was pretty sure of that but I was so goddamn comfy there was no way I would be moving anytime soon, I slowly open an eye to look at my alarm clock, 8am on a Saturday, way too early to be waking up today, closing my eye again I rolled over and wrapped my arms around my Bella, she was still here, in my bed. Well this morning was just getting better and better, the gentle tapping of rain outside my window only caused me to become even more comfy, any other time it would be a huge distraction but today for some reason it was lulling me back into a peaceful sleep.
When I finally woke up at 10:30, much better time Bella was already awake tracing her finger lightly over my chest.
"Nice to know my body can old your attention" I whispered startling her
"Oh" she said moving her fingers away quickly "I'm sorry did I wake you up?" she said looking up biting her lip
"No you didn't" I said reassuringly pulling her back up to me
"So last night was nice" I said casually
"Yeah it really was who would have thought I would enjoy prom" she laughed
"Yeah I know, total shocker" I agreed "But I meant afterwards aswell" I whispered
"You mean your present" she said, I could feel her smiling against me
"I'll be totally honest, it was a very nice surprise" I said sighing
"Really?" she said looking hopeful, again with the lip biting
"Really" I said again "You have no idea how worried I have been trying to figure out how to talk about after school and us and now I find out it doesn't mater because we'll be together anyways" I smiled
"I'm glad, I have to say you were much calmer than Alice was when I told her" she laughed. Huh she told Alice first, so thats where that little outburst came from last night
"Tell my sister before me" I said pouting a little
"Oh don't be sad, I only told her because I didn't know what your reaction would be and I was nervous" she said fiddling with the blanket
"I'm not sad, I'm glad Alice is happy about it and I'm glad were all still going to be together next year, that's more than I could have asked for" I smiled kissing her forehead Yep back to being Edward the sap...and wouldn't have it any other fucking way
"So what's on the agenda for today" she asked turning to face me
"Um well I decided that we would stay here all day" I smirked "Just like this" I added pulling her back towards me
"That sounds lovely it really does, but you do know I have to go home sometime today" she replied. Shit, forgot about that
"When were in new York I wont have to deal with that anymore, I can stay in bed all Saturday if I like and you will be there with me" I said sighing overdramatically "Preferable with less clothes" I added covering my face with a pillow
"True" she laughed "but until then, I have to go home for a while, see my dad tell him everything about last night and all that jazz" she shrugged. "You can come with if you like?" she said hopefully.
Ergh, Bella's dad was scary to say the least, If he knew what I had done he would murder me, maybe it would just be best to drop her off, maybe I could climb in through her window later
"Edward he doesn't know what happened" she said pulling me from my thoughts, well that eased some tension, like a fraction...
"You don't have to it's not a problem" she mumbled
"So your trying to guilt me into it now are you" I smirked
"Maybe" she whispered "Did it work?" she said trying to compress a smile
"Yes it did" I said rolling my eyes "But you can't do that all the time" I said pointing my finger but knowing full well he next time she did that I would agree to anything again
"Okay then, I am going to take a shower and you are going to go get some breakfast" she nodded getting off the bed.
I grabbed her hand and pulled her back towards me attacking her lips with my own, it was slow and gentle to start with but the passion was back. The same passion we had before, ad it was then I knew for certain everything would be okay. She pulled away, took a deep breath and smiled lazily before stumbling out of bed and into my bathroom
"Yano kissing like that can kill a girl" she said as she continued walking
"I wouldn't want to do that at all would I love" I smiled
"No you certainly would not" she said closing the bathroom door behind her "But that doesn't mean you should stop kissing me like that" she said quickly opening the door again and blowing a kiss
I ran my hand though my hair unable to compress the smile on my face and hopped out of bed, pulling on a pair or sweat pants and the first shirt I found on the floor I slowly walked downstairs and into the surprisingly empty kitchen.
"Morning sunshine" spoke too fucking soonMorning Jazz" I mumbled pulling the juice out of the fridge
"So how was last night" he said raising an eyebrow
"Fine, you were there" I shrugged
"Didn't mean that dude" he laughed
"Nothing happened, we came back, we spoke we went to sleep" I said rolling my eyes
"She told you about New York then?"
She told you too?" I sighed pouring myself a glass of juice
"Nah dude Alice told me but she swore me to secrecy, oh well" he laughed taking my juice "Thanks by the way"
"Oh no problem, please take my drink" I replied sarcastically
"Thanks" he added seriously before walking out of the kitchen. This was gonna be one long fucking day.
Now, I'm not really one for the culinary arts so a bowl of lucky charms and some toast was the best I could do, not that Bella minded at all, I'm guessing even if I made her a full breakfast complete with pancakes and syrup and wouldn't give a damn, all she would care about was the fact that I had done something to make her smile, so she simply gave me a lasting kiss of appreciation and sat down tucking into her amazing five star breakfast but not before telling, no ordering me into the bathroom to take a shower and make myself look presentable to go to her house, not that it would make a fucking difference, her dad was probably waiting in the house ready with his shotgun when he saw me walking up the path. Regardless I listened to what my lady had to say and I welcomed the hot water relaxing my muscles, I'm pretty sure I had been feeling unavoidably tense for the last week so this was definatly a welcome release.
I turned off the hot water and slowly stepped out of the shower and onto the cold tiles shivering at the change of climate, I wrapped the towel round my waist and stepped out into my bedroom to grab my clothes, what I didn't expect was Bella to be sitting on my bed rifling through her bag, I could see the blush rising up to her cheeks and couldn't help but let a smug look fall upon my face. So she didn't find me some kind of a leper after what I had done, I got some weird sense of pride knowing that she was turned on by me practically naked and wanted to take advantage of the situation
"Why Bella if I didn't know any better I would say you were blushing" I said using another towel to dry my hair
"I'm always blushing" she mumbled still looking into her bag
"No I mean really blushing, like you want to look at me and are having naughty thoughts" I whispered.
"I thought, yeah, you were in there, with, clothes" she muttered looking down at her bag
"Does me in nothing but a towel turn you on Miss Isabella?" I replied smoothly
"There's the cocky arrogant Edward I missed" she said looking up to me, well actually her eyes were trained on my chest "Besides what did I say about calling me Isabella?" she said cocking her head to the side.
Laughing, I walked over to the bed and sat next to her, shaking my wet hair all over her. I'm not sure if it was the close proximity or the fact that I was in nothing but a towel but the air become think with sexual tension for some reason, I gently leant across kissing her neck
"Can I ask you something?" I said pressing my lips against her again,
"Hmmm" came her mumbled reply
"Did you really punch a guy because he called you Isabella"
"Yeah, amongst other reasons" she sighed
"Other reasons?" I said as my lips traced her earlobe as she shivered a little
"Hmmm he tried to kiss me so I hit him and then I mangled up my hands because of it" she mumbled as my kisses worked their way round her neck. Her hands were now gently stroking my chest, her nails scratching in an excruciatingly light way.
"Want me to find him and rough him up" I hissed through my teeth as her fingers worked over my nipple
"No, he's just a boy, a silly little boy. He has no business here" she whispered ducking her head to capture my lips with her own before she sat up and hopped off the bed
"Ill see you downstairs sugar" she giggled before grabbing her bag and walking out the room
she ducked out. Leaving me here. Half naked. With an annoyingly painful hard on. So much for taking a step back.
Well fuck me.BPOV
I figured leaving Edward like that might be a little harsh considering I was the one that wanted us to take a step back but then again it was just so god damn tempting. When he came out of that shower, oh holy hell. I'm pretty sure I needed a shovel to pick my jaw up off the floor, I mean sure I'd seem him half naked before, I felt what was hiding inside is boxers for Christ's sake but seeing him here all wet and glistening, lets just say its very VERY nice. So I wanted to have a little fun, call it somewhat of payback for the last week, I knew how hot and bothered he was getting, although he was working me up into a frenzy also. By the time my lips met his I was so worked up I was ready to rip the towel off him and tell his to fuck me there and then, but I didn't. I kept my cool and got out that room as fast as my legs would carry me,
yeah I'm all about the self control me
"Good morning Sunshine" I herd Jaspers southern drawl from the living room
"Hey boy, how's the hangover today?" I asked sitting next to him on the sofa, he wrapped his arm round me and I cuddled up to him. Surprisingly it wasn't awkward with us at all, I didn't know him as well as Edward or Alice but I felt we had a connection after what happened last week, he reached out to me and I listened to him when I wouldn't anyone else.
"Shockingly I don't have one today, no vampire antics for me this morning" he smiled taking a sip of his juice
"Where's Alice?" I asked
"Still in bed, I couldn't sleep in any more though, it was killing me" he sighed "I need to be out moving!"
"So your idea of moving involves getting out of bed, getting a drink and sitting?" I laughed facing him
"Something like that" he smiled resting his head on the sofa "What's on your mind sweets?" he asked not opening his eyes
"Hmmm just relations ship issues, boy issues" I sighed
"Oh no Alice is your go to on sex lives, I'm not at all equipped to be discussing yours and Eddies sex lives thank you very much" he laughed
"There's no sex life to discuss thank you very much" I huffed
"But you want there to be and you want to know if its too soon after what's happened" damn he was good
"That's really quite shocking" I laughed
"What how I'm very good at calculating what people are feeling, yeah I know I'm just gifted that way. But like I said I don't do the sex conversations" I shrugged
"If Edward came up to you right now asking the same questions what would you say?" I said puling myself away from his embrace and folding my arms
"Id say hot damn gimmie the down low and you and Bella dude" he said taking advantage of the southern drawl
"Funny" I replied sarcastically
"I would talk to him in a civilised manner which I'm sure is what Alice would do with you" he replied a little too politely
"Yeah right" I said rolling my eyes before curling back up to him
"Whatever happens will happen. Just see where things lead you" I mumbled
"Oh that's philosophical" I sighed
"What's philosophical?" Edward said walking through the door
"Oh nothing really, Jasper just trying to help with a problem" I smiled
"Problem?" he looked at me then Jasper
"Sex problems" He shouted slowly. What the fuck!
"Jazz I'm not a two year old" he replied dryly "and I'm sure if Bella needs help I will be more then satisfactory to talk to" he said flashing my favourite smile. He held his hand up and pulled me up
"Gotta admit that was smooth" Jasper laughed "Catch ya later"
I waved slightly as Edward pulled me outside, opening the passenger side of his car and getting in,
"I wasn't having sex talks with Jasper" I blurted out before covering my mouth in shock. He laughed a little and shook his head
"Taking steps together remember" he smiled gently
He looked slightly nervous and tense as he drove closer to my house, I gently placed my hand over his stroking his knuckles reassuringly which earned me a half smile. Okay he was nervous
"Edward were not going to a court sentencing, relax" I laughed
"Your dads a little intimidating" He replied sheepishly
"He's just being my dad, he's allowed to not like his only daughters first boyfriend. Its like a rule or something" I said shrugging as I stepped out of the car. I linked my fingers with his and pulled him towards the house, I felt hi tense up beside me again and suppressed a small laugh as I opened the door. Charlie was sitting there on the sofa, beer in one hand eyes fixated to the TV and some baseball game
"Hi Bells" he said not even looking up. I rolled my eyes and groaned
"Hey dad, aren't you going to say hi to Edward?" I asked as I felt his grip on my hand tighten. Charlie's eyes shot up to meet my eyes and a look of confusion passed over his face before his eyes settled on or intertwined fingers. He let out a sigh and stood up walking towards us
"So how was this prom?" my dad asked shifting his gaze over the two of us
"Fun, very fun" I nodded "I took lots of pictures I'm gona go print them off" I added
"Uh huh" he replied dryly looking at the two of us again
"Dad you already know Edward don't you" I said matter of factly
"Hi chief swan" Edward said quietly
"Yeah we met a few times. So what are you two now?" Charlie asked scratching his face
"Wow, I thought you would dance around the subject for at least another half hour" I laughed relaxing slightly
"Yeah well" was his response
"Chief Swan, Bella and I are together, I asked her to be my girlfriend last night at prom and she accepted, I hope this is okay" Edward said, full parent charming mode on
"Do I have a choice" Charlie shot back simply
"No you don't" was my response
"Then I guess I'm okay with it" he said attempting a smile. I smiled back and ushered Edward up towards my room telling him to turn my computer on
"Look dad, I'm a big girl now" I said following Charlie back into the living room
"I know, and I'm sure he's a good guy. If he messes you around you tell me straight away" he said looking towards his gun
"I promise, and thank you" I smiled hugging him slightly. He gave me a small half hug back and went back to his game whilst I went upstairs to the beautiful boy waiting for me in my room
And so we worked our way back into a somewhat normal routine over the rest of the weekend. Edward stayed with me Saturday night, eating Chinese food Charlie had ordered and talking. We looked at crazy prom photos and listened to music until Charlie practically threw him out of the house. I promised to talk to him Sunday, stating that my chores had taken a place on the back burner the last few days and I really should do some so I would be unable to see him. He of course gave me the wounded puppy dog look but I was strong and didn't let it get to me in the slightest. Even so it still didn't stop him texting me nearly every hour asking what I was doing. I hated falling asleep on my own Sunday night, I felt like a piece of me had gone missing somewhere and I couldn't wait until we were in New York and it wouldn't be a problem.
Monday rolled round and as if nothing had changed and as if on cue when I stepped out my front door he was there waiting to take me to school, grinning I stepped into his car and resumed my holding his hand and stroking his knuckles from Saturday. We pulled up at school and once again the staring commenced, but this time I didn't care. They could stare all they fucking wanted, I had my boy and I knew for a fact we were going to be okay, no more secrets just us together. We walked into the building holding hands proudly showing what we were for all of them to see and make their own assumptions.
"Your setting yourselves up to be the talking point of the school Y'know" Emmett said sliding up next to me at my locker
"Y'know what I'm feeling rather chipper today, and I don't really care what anyone here has to say. The people that matter know what's happened and what's going on now and that's all that matters to me" I said shrugging
"There's my Bella" Emmett said hugging me tightly nearly cutting off my air supply
"Oh I gotta go to class ill see you guys later" he said before striding off to his class
"You ready?" Edward asked walking up to take Emmett's place
"Indeed I am Mr" I smiled taking his hand and walking into one of our last biology classes. I was feeling very reminiscent in this class, this is where we started. Strange it seemed so long ago when in reality it was only a few months, god so much had happened in such a short time
"Bella you still with me" Edward whispered waving his had in front of my face
"Yeah sorry I was somewhere else then" I laughed as the bell rang. Finally! Time to get my plan into action
See I had been thinking about it for a while and thinking how I knew, well know a person in a higher place than me and how I could us it to mY advantage and get something out of it for myself at the same time, my plan was set, the game was in motion but I had the ace tucked away inside my bag, smirking I realised what I was about to do
"Edward wait" I said pulling his arm as we walked to the cafeteria
"What is it? You okay?" he asked quietly stroking my face
"I'm fine I just have some business I need to attend to" I smiled
"Want me to come with?" he offered, Oh how I wish you could just to see the reaction
"Sorry sweets, this is something I need to do alone, but ill meet you in a little while okay?" I offered kissing him lightly
"Okay, be careful" he added apprehensively walking away
I watched him go for few seconds before turning of the spot and walking down the corridor and outside onto the basketball court, exactly where I thought I would find him, perfect. He noticed me straight away and in a flash he was over towards me
"Well hello Bella Bella what can I do for your fine self today" he said trying to sound seductive
Fighting the urge to throw up in my mouth I gave him a half smile which I'm sure turned into something more sinister and pulled I'm away from his lackeys
"I believe we Tyler, have some business to attend to" I smirked digging into my bag.
Ahaha i know im so evil. But to be fair there have been lack of cliffys in this story so here is a good one!
I wonder what business Bella has to attend to with Tyler. Hope she puts him in his place! *Nods* You shall find out soon enough
Let me know what you all think! Its very much appreciated!
And it will get the final chapter up much faster
