Chapter Twenty Five
I could tell I had been crying in my sleep. As I opened my eyes, I could feel some of my damp hair sticking to my cheek. Just as I was about to move the hair away, another pair of hands got there first. I opened my eyes wider trying to focus. I was still groggy from sleep. How long had I been asleep, it felt like hours. My breath stopped as I saw green eyes looking back at me lay on the pillow.
"Edward," I choked sitting up in shock, clearly to fast as the room began to spin.
"Careful," he smiled. "You have been ill, remember." Edward touched my face, moving the rest of my hair away with the softest touch. I leaned my head into his hand, just taking in this moment. Edward was here with me and my life had meaning again. "Bella," Edward's hands traced my lips with his fingertips, all I could do was cry. I had misjudged him so much. I didn't deserve the love I could see in his eyes. "Please don't cry, love," he smiled. "The cottage isn't that bad is it?" He teased.
"It's breath-taking," I moved my hand to touch his face. I needed to be sure he was real. "Edward, I'm sorry if I had known . . . ."
"Bella, it's okay." Edward cooed, pulling me against his chest. "I told you we couldn't be together, I understand that now. I was just hoping you would have waited for me, but I understand why you did it. I broke you heart, but Bella you have to understand I love you. I always will. You are my whole world. I went mad because I lost you . . . I'm so sorry we had to do this to each other." Edward's hands were now both on my face, his lips were inches from mine.
"I love you too," I smiled pressing my lips against his. Fuck, it felt so good telling him, as soon as the words left my mouth something in both of us ignited. We practically ripped the clothes from each other in an animal fashion. We were both groaning, kissing as if our life depended on it. Our hands were everywhere. Edward was muttering my name against my lips, and I was slowly dying with every caress he gave me. Nothing could compare to this, nothing. I ran my hands over his bare chest, re tracing every part of his glorious body. Edward began planting kisses down my neck while I straddled him. Fuck, the feel of him was enough to almost bring me to orgasm. Just as I was about to push myself onto him, a wicked smile came across his face and Holy fucking hell, Edward turned me so my back was against his. "I want you to feel me deep inside you." Edward muttered against my neck. Fuck, I forgot he was a Rock God now, could it get any hotter. "I want to show you how much I love you." I braced myself, gripping the head board for support panting, waiting for possibly the fuck of my life. We needed this. We would have our whole lives to make love.
The feelings that exploded in me was earth shattering. I was screaming like a mad woman, begging for more as I gripped the head board tighter.
I could feel myself reaching that cliff, just as I began to tremble with pleasure Edward pulled my hands away from the head board, pulling them over his neck as he took my breasts firmly in his hands, pushing me firmly against him as he pushed in deeper. Fuck me, it was the hottest of the hot. "I want all of this," Edward replied husky in my ear. "I want to feel all of you Bella. Every single tremor. Let it go, love."
I began moaning, screaming his name as I fell off the cliff, drowning in his love and power. Edward came just after me. It was pure bliss listening to his groans of pleasure as he emptied himself in me. Fuck me, was how was it possible Edward was an even better lover than before, it was insane.
I was panting and still groaning as Edward held my breasts, massaging them. "Fuck Bella, that was amazing," Edward breathed, dropping his head on my shoulder.
"You did all the work, you should have the credit." I smiled, leaning my head back towards him.
"I love you so much." He whispered kissing my shoulder.
"Do you have any idea how much I love you," I smiled turning around to sit on his lap. Edward smirked, he was beautiful. How had I gone a year and a half without his face?
"I don't think I will ever get use to you saying those words."
"Well, they are true. I love you." I smiled pressing my lips against his again, which in turn made us start round two. Well, we had been starved of each other for a year and a half. Suddenly I was glad I had spent the last three days in bed because I sure as hell needed the energy . . . .
I lay across his chest later that afternoon. "So Mr Rock God," I teased. "I think you were holding out on me before. Where did you learn all those new moves?"
"You know I went a little crazy when I lost you."
"Did you really do drugs?"
"Only a few, it was more the drinking," Edward winced. "Garret got really worried at one point. He wanted me to see a shrink."
"Did you go?" I asked interested.
"No, I knew what was wrong with me. Garret didn't know about you . . .he still doesn't."
"What happens now?" I asked pulling myself closer to him. "I can't go back to Alex if even if he forced me."
"Trust me, Bella. I would never let you go, not now," Edward pulled me tightly to him. "I will never let you down again, sweetheart. I'm so sorry."
"What are you apologising for. I'm the idiot who got married," Edward just chuckled. "It's true."
"You're not an idiot, you though you loved him."
"Deep down I knew it was always you," I smiled as he looked down at me with his dreamy green eyes. "Even on my wedding day all I saw was you." Edward winced looking away. I pulled his face to me. "Edward, its fine, I know why you did it. You wanted the best for me I understand that, but you should have known the best was always you."
"Even though I was penniless?"
"Yes, I would still take you now if you had nothing. I love you for you, Edward. You are the most amazing, loving, caring, and funniest man I have ever met."
"You forgot the Rock God voice," Edward teased. I hit his chest.
"You always put other first as well. You are the most selfless person I have ever met."
"Bella, stop rubbing my ego. You have told me you love me, that is enough."
"Do you think I will be able to travel around with you like Alice and Rose or will Garret get angry seen as you are the stud of the band," I asked suddenly concerned. God, there was so much to consider, I was only touching the surface.
"The stud of the band, how old are you, twelve?" Edward laughed. It was so strange that even after a year and a half we just slipped back together like two pieces of a puzzle.
"You know what I mean," I chuckled. "And you are the stud. You were number one pin up for teen dream last month, I checked." That got another laugh from him. I just breathed in so content that this was it, the start of my life.
"We need to get up soon. We have a flight to Florida to catch."
"Shit, I forgot Rose and Em are getting married," I giggled. Edward had well and truly scrambled my head.
"The rest of them left this morning, but we really need to think about getting up there seen as I'm the best man and you are chief bridesmaid."
"True," I smiled kissing his chest. "I'll have a shower." I pressed my lips to his and with a great amount of effort pulled myself away from him, but to my surprise he got up with me.
"Shower sounds good to me," he smirked picking me up in his strong arms, all I could do was giggle as he carried me into the bathroom. . . . .
Three hours later we were on a first class flight to Florida having to act just like friends, which was difficult when all I could think about was jumping on him.
"I bet I can read your mind," Edward whispered reading the newspaper.
"I bet I can read yours as well," I sniggered going back to my magazine. "Oh, Edward look," I teased showing him a poster of himself. "You look very wet in that photo," I smiled.
Edward groaned looking deeper into his paper. "Don't you like looking at yourself, "I smiled "You look good." I tilted my head, pretending to get a better look. "Really good in fact."
"You are enjoying this aren't you?" He smirked, pulling the magazine out of my hands.
"I love first class, not quite as good as a private jet, but I guess we did miss the take-off."
"You haven't changed one bit have you?" Edward smiled, touching my hand softly.
"No," I smiled.
"When the plane lands my security will be waiting for me. I have sorted another car to take you. I'll have to meet you at the hotel, but don't worry I will find you."
"I know you will."
I sat gazing at him the rest of the flight. A few people came over to our side of the plane asking for his autograph, which he gladly gave before I watched him leave the plane.
My phone rang while I was on the way to the hotel and my heart stopped as I saw the ID. What the hell was I going to say to Alex?
"Hey beautiful," Alex sang over the phone as I answered. "How are you feeling? Are you in Florida yet?"
"Hey, I'm just on the way to the hotel now. I am so much better now."
"Is being away from me making you sick?" He laughed.
"Yeah," I sighed. God, this was a mess, I was going to break his heart when I left him, but I had no choice, I needed to be with Edward.
"Germany is going well. I have nearly completed the merger."
"Alex, that's great."
"I miss you."
"Miss you too."
"I'll see you Monday at home. I will try and call, but I guess you will be knee deep in wedding stuff."
"I guess."
"I love you Bella."
"Love you." The words were like daggers in my mouth. I had made such a mess of everything. Why hadn't I just listened to my heart?
I arrived at the hotel, laughing as I saw the hysteria outside from the Eclipse fans. I guess Rose hadn't managed keeping everything from the press.
I was shown by security to my room. Rose came rushing in within seconds of me entering the room.
"Where have you been?" She was freaking out, her whole body was trembling with nerves.
"Rose," I smiled taking her hand. "Breath, you are only getting married tomorrow."
"That isn't really helping." Rose glared. "Are you angry with me?"
"No, I know why you did it."
"Did you see Edward?" Rose raised an eyebrow watching my reaction.
"Yeah," I beamed. "We talked."
"And?" Rose demanded.
"We love each other," I beamed.
"Thank fuck for that," Rose laughed. "What they hell are you going to do about Alex?"
"We haven't really got that far. We are going to talk after the wedding," I smiled putting my arm around her. "This weekend is about you and Emmet. Edward and I can talk once you guys are on honeymoon."
"God, I am so happy right now. I have got my best friend back, this is the best wedding gift ever." Rose screeched just as Edward walked in. "You shouldn't be on this floor, its females only." Rose teased looking between us.
"Rose, I don't give a fuck," Edward smiled, walking over to me, pulling me into his arms. "Did you have any trouble getting here from the airport?" Edward asked running his fingers through my hair.
"No," I smiled leaning up to kiss his soft lips.
"I think I am going to cry," Rose whimpered. "You guys are not helping my emotional state at the moment."
"If you think you're bad you should see Emmet," Edward laughed. "I have had to give him four valium to stop him bouncing off the walls." I giggled against his chest as Rose glared at him "I will go, Rose. I just wanted to see Bella before I have to do my best man duty."
"You have half an hour, Cullen. Bella needs to make up her drinking time seen as she has been ill." Rose called closing the door behind her.
Edward crashed his lips against mine as soon as Rose was gone. I moaned feeling his hands going straight for my jeans. Yearning took over me and I couldn't get my clothes off quickly enough.
"A little desperate are we?" Edward chuckled as I pulled my top off while he worked on my jeans.
"You heard Rose, we have half an hour." I teased moving to his jeans, grazing my hands over his perfect stomach. I was over heating just thinking about the things this man did to me.
"Well, we better make each second count." Edward smirked, dipping his hands down into my panties. Heaven really couldn't have compared. I was sure of it.
I had no idea if our half an hour was up, but I lay there looking at him, wondering how I had even got through the last year and a half without him.
"So I guess at the wedding we need to be careful, some press will be there. Garret thought it was good PR to let them take some photos." Edward muttered running his hands up my bare back.
"What are we going to do when the wedding is over?"
"I'm coming back with you to New York so we can see Alex together." Edward replied firmly
"Are you sure?" I asked bewildered. I knew this wasn't going to be easy and I had a feeling Alex wasn't going to sit down and let me leave him for Edward.
"I've never been surer. I am rather looking forward to it," Edward smirked. I really didn't understand the hatred in his face. "I have always hated Alex, Bella." Edward kissed my lips. "He stole you from me."
"What do you mean?"
"He . . ."
"Time is up," Rose barged in. I grabbed the sheet to cover myself.
"ROSE," I shouted.
"You two should be dressed by now. I gave you an extra ten minutes for fucks sake." She moaned. "Edward, get your cute ass out of that bed. Don't make me threaten you." Rose crossed her arms waiting. Edward laughed, grabbing his jeans and putting them on while Rose looked away.
"You are so mean," I pouted as I watched Edward lean down to kiss me goodbye still with his shirt open.
"See you tomorrow. I love you," Edward whispered in my ear.
"I love you too," I smiled touching his face before he left.
"Earth to Bella," Rose was waving her hand in my face. I had gone into a little day dream about . . . my amazing lover. How he drove me insane with lust, love and need. God, I needed him. "You haven't changed one bit have you?" Rose laughed. "Still watching Edward's ass when he leaves."
"Shut up," I pouted. "And let me get dressed, I am naked under here."
"You are such a tart," Rose smirked chucking a towel at me. "Get your ass out of bed. We are going out in one hour."
"Yes boss," I winked as Rose left.
What a night, a pink limo took us to Twilight nightclub. I couldn't explain how weird it felt being back where it all started. The men were having their night at the New Moon. I was a little disappointing, but I knew I had to do my bridesmaid duty, especially after everything Rose had done for me.
"Enjoying yourself?" Alice smiled sipping a cocktail.
"I always do when I am with you guys," I smiled. "Alice, I really don't know what to say."
"You don't need to, Bella. You complete my brother in every way and as long as he is happy so am I."
"I love him so much," I whimpered.
"I always knew you did," Alice winked. "We will get everything sorted don't worry, Alex won't be able to touch you. Edward will make sure of that."
I looked at Alice a little confused, protect me? Jesus, what did Alice think Alex would do try and kill me or something? I had to laugh. "I'm sure once the dust settles Alex will understand, but it will be difficult telling him."
"Bella, didn't . . ."
"DANCE!" Rose grabbed Alice and me pushing us onto the dance floor. "Drink," Rose ordered handing us three shots. We did as we were told and before I knew it I was dancing on the table feeling so free I could have taken on the world.
I collapsed into my bed at 2am wondering just what the wedding tomorrow would bring. I chuckled thinking how the best man and chief bridesmaid were known to get it on. I had no doubt in my mind that would be happening. I drowned in the feelings just thinking about it.
Well, just what will happen?
Bet you are dying to know aren't you, will I shock you or give you what you want?
Oh . . . .Is the suspense killing you? Let me know!
Just so you know I am totally against cheating on your husband but you have to understand Bella and Edward are destined to love each other for eternity. Alex always knew how they felt about each other, which is why he pulled them apart. Plus he is a nasty man (Trust me, he has other sides) but I do understand what Bella is doing is wrong but she is in love she can't help her over powering feelings.
Anyway let me know what you think. THANK YOU for reading and reviewing.
