Chapter 25 – Edward
Our First Time
Bella was an absolute wreck.
I thought I finally had her calmed down and relaxed when something else came flying into her head and she freaked out again.
She had sent out resumes to all the local schools and the wider district area but wasn't hopeful. It was November and teaching was a job that was only hired in the months May through to August.
The only thing that got her smiling was her lessons with Landon.
When Alice had found out what Mike had done she was furious. She complained to the school board about him and then pulled Landon out of there faster than Bella could tell her not to. Alice and Bella had discussed it and Landon was going to have after school lessons with Bella every evening so that he could continue his work.
Thankfully Alice and I were able to tag team Bella into agreeing to be paid for these lessons.
Bella was happy to be able to do some teaching but you could see she was stressed. It had only been three days and she was agonising over everything.
She kept turning of light switches.
Using the same coffee filters.
Having very short phone calls
She was driving me crazy but I put up with it. I knew my quirks weren't a walk in the park and I was hardly fun all the time. So every time I left a room at her apartment I turned off the light.
Waking up on Friday morning I realised what Bella and I had plans for this weekend.
We hadn't actually mentioned it at all this week but the idea was sounding great in lieu of everything. She just needed to be taken care of, we didn't have to have sex this weekend if she wasn't up to it but maybe a weekend snuggled up in a cabin would be good for her.
I rolled over and found Bella fast asleep beside me. She had come over last night just to hang out for awhile and ended falling asleep here. All her worrying had her exhausted. I think it was easier for her to fall asleep here because she wasn't constantly worrying about light switches and whether she could get another day out of that bread because she was trying not to overspend. She could just relax.
"Love" I murmured kissing her lips "Bella" I said dragging out the 'ah' sound in her name.
"What?" she mumbled her eyes half open.
"Time to wake up" I murmured.
"Why?"
"Because you need to go home and pack" I told her.
"For what?" she asked sitting up.
"Our trip" I said.
"Edward you're not making any sense." She said rubbing her eyes.
"Remember our little trip we said we were going to take this weekend." I told her kissing along her neck.
"But that was before everything happened and I have so much..." She began when I cut her off.
"Bella all you've done is think about this all week and I think it's time you stopped. You are an excellent teacher and you have excellent credentials from top universities. You will get another job, some teacher somewhere is bound to get pregnant or something soon enough" I told her and she sighed. "Or you never know? Maybe Mike will get fired once this law suit is over. I know Alice and some of her 'Mommy Friends' are starting a petition over it. Especially the ones who had kids in your class or have seen how bad Mike is. I get that it's scary. If anyone gets how scary things are when you plans fall apart it's me Love. But you just have to stop dwelling on it." I murmured and she smiled.
"I thought I was supposed to be the one who put things together logically in this relationship" She stated and I laughed.
"I think you need to things put into perspective more than I do right now." I told her and she smiled.
"I love you" She said and I leaned and kissed her. "How do you do that with morning breathe? It's disgusting."
"My morning breathe?" I asked.
"No mine" She said.
"Don't care" I told her kissing her again before pulling away "I love you, so come away with me for the weekend?" I asked and she nodded.
"Yeah" She said nodding. "What time do you want to go at?"
"I was thinking in an hour? We can get breakfast on the way?"
"Sure" She said. "Can I use your shower?" she asked.
"Yeah of course" I said as she got up off the bed. As she stood up she stretched her tank top rising up to show her flat tummy. I'd seen that skin before but knowing what was a possibility for this weekend made me react like a fifteen year old.
"So who's going to watch Lincoln?" She asked as the cat slinked into the room and weaved in between her legs. He looked up at her and meowed. "Someone wants to be fed." She cooed leaned down and scratching behind his ears. I had a feeling Lincoln liked Bella much more than he liked me. But who wouldn't?
"I dunno actually." I said scratching the back of my head. Bella looked up at me with a perplexed expression before standing up from petting the cat and walking over to me. She placed her hand on my forehead "Oh ha-ha" I said sarcastically.
"You're being very spontaneous lately. Deciding to leave town without a plan and a follow up plan for Lincoln? So unlike you." She teased as the cat jumped up on the bed and climbed onto my lap.
"I thought you were getting in the shower."
"Eager to get rid of me?"
"Eager to have you naked in my shower." I told her and she laughed before kissing me.
"Save it for when we get there Baby." She murmured before grabbing her bag and walking into my bathroom.
While she was in there I jumped up and began organising my bag. I really only needed clothes for tomorrow and my night stuff but I still liked being prepared. I may have been able to tone down some of my extremities but not all of them.
I was folding my pants when I realised Bella didn't have any towels in the bathroom. I went to my linen closet and grabbed some before knocking on the bathroom door.
"Bella?" I called.
"Yeah?"
"I forgot to give you towels." I called.
"Just bring them in" She yelled over the shower. "Doors unlocked." She added.
It was then it truly dawned on me.
She was naked in my shower.
In my apartment
That I live in
And she was naked.
And wet
And soapy
Hello Mr. Boner, we seem to be spending a lot time together.
And she wanted me to go in there?
I know your probably laughing hadn't I just been talking about how I wanted to have sex this weekend but the concept of it was still truly terrifying.
Deep breathe
I opened the door and walked into the bathroom.
The bathroom was steam filled from the shower and I placed the towels on the counter top.
"Babe can you passed me the shampoo out of my bag, oh and my razor?" she asked.
"Uh huh" I said before gulping and reaching for her toiletry bag. I pulled out of the things she asked me for. I brought them over to the shower and she poked her head out of the door. It was glazed over so I couldn't see her body. I could however make out the outline of her behind the glass.
"Thank you Baby" She smiled reaching for it as I handed it to her. She pressed her lips to mine before shutting the shower door.
I laughed before walking out of the bathroom.
Leaning against the bathroom door I let out a deep breath before gathering myself together.
I really hoped we did have sex weekend. I was wound tighter than a bursting jack in a box.
I called Emmett who sounded like he was in the middle of something.
"Can you watch Lincoln?" I asked.
"Rosie, I'm trying to... oh wait, oh yeah!" He exclaimed.
"EMMETT!" I yelled into the phone.
"What?" He yelled back.
"I know you and Rosalie are going through a rekindling of your relationship and what not but can you watch the cat?"
"Where are you going?" he asked.
"Bella and I are going away for the weekend. I would've asked you earlier but with everything the way it was this week I wasn't sure if we were still going." I explained. As I was talking the bathroom door opened and Bella walked out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around her. "But that doesn't matter seeing as I had to spend two day bleaching my kitchen after you and Rosalie were here as well as buy a new couch." I added.
"Good times" Emmett murmured as Bella giggled pulling a hairbrush out of her bag.
"So you'll mind the cat?" I asked.
"Sure, sure" He said. "Gotta go Bro"
"Bye" I said before hanging up. I sighed and threw myself down on the bed. "I think I preferred it when we were fighting."
Bella stood into her underwear her towel still covering her before inching them up her legs.
"You don't mean that." She said grabbing a white bra and pulling in on. "As much as Rosalie and Emmett gripe me I'm glad that you spent last weekend with him." She said sitting down on the bed beside me.
"Why?" I asked gently running my hands down her arms.
"Because it just proves to me what a great guy you are." She said leaning down and kissing me. "Your brother was the biggest ass in the world to you but you put aside your own wants and feelings and gave him a place to stay, watched him, looked after him so he could process all that huge news he had just gotten." She said running her hands through my hair. "And that's the part that's really you Edward."
"What do you mean?" I asked her.
"You tend to let your OCD define who you are, but there's a part of you that is just you that no planning or organising created. It's just your nature." She explained and I looked at her expectantly "You've got a beautiful soul Edward."
I fought the urge to roll my eyes at her and she must have caught it.
"I know you think all that stuff is dumb and for the most part so do I, but I do believe in souls." She said.
"So eternal journeys, soul mates and all that stuff?" I asked her.
"You don't think there's one person in the world made for you?" she asked.
"I didn't" I told her before squeezing her hand "But I'm starting to" I added and she smiled.
"Good" She stated before leaning down and kissing me. I gently cradled her face holding her lips to mine. "I love you Edward"
"I love you too." I told her smiling.
"Come on; let's get ready so we can start this weekend." She said standing up.
I followed after her and got ready to go. We stopped over at her place and picked up some things before heading for the cabin. My parents had bought this place a couple of years ago and Alice, Emmett and I all had keys if we wanted to use it.
Pulling up outside Bella's eyes widened.
"It's huge" She stated and I laughed. "No seriously I think this is bigger than the house I grew up in. This is just your get away house? Little rich boy." She teased and I laughed.
"Yep" I told her.
"Holy shit." She stated.
I just shook my head before getting out of the car. I opened her door for her and then grabbed our bags. We walked up the front steps of the house. I lead her into the main part of the house and she looked around in awe.
"It's so nice" She said.
"I'm just going to put the bags upstairs" I told her.
"Where's the kitchen?" she asked "I want to put away some of the food we brought up."
"Just through those doors over there." I told her and she nodded as I walked upstairs. Once I got upstairs I walked into the master bedroom. I quickly pulled out some clean sheets and dressed the bed and got the cover I used when we came up here as a family out of the linen closet before meeting Bella back downstairs. "Find everything okay?" I asked her and she nodded as I wrapped my arms around her.
"Thanks for this" She said. "You've been great this week." She added.
"Like I said Love, if anyone understands what is going on with you, scared of everything, not feeling secure and like everything has been ripped from you cause one thing changed? It's me." I told her and she nodded. As I held her I realised how cold she felt. "I'm going to start the fire" I told her and she smiled as I led her into the living room.
She sat down on the couch as I started the large fire which sat in a lowered pit in the middle of the room. There was no t.v in the cabin, just a large stereo that you could play . in, my parents really wanted this place to be away from everything. Just a nice little haven. I loved it up here.
Once the fire was lit I sat down beside Bella and then pulled a blanket off the back of the couch to cover us.
She pressed a kiss to my cheek before settling in my lap. I wrapped my arms around her and hugged her to me.
"You okay?" I asked her and she nodded. "You know you can tell me if you're scared about the future right?" I asked her.
"Yeah" She said.
"Are you?" I asked her.
"Yes" She said. "What if I can't get a job?" she asked. "What if I run out of money and can't pay rent?" she asked.
"I'm not going to let you go homeless" I told her and she sighed.
"I don't want to be completely dependent of you Edward." She said biting her lip.
"I get that" I told her "But I'm going to watch you crash and burn cause you're too stubborn. You know you're stuck with me now right?" I asked her and she laughed. "No I'm dead serious. I'm like a lost little puppy, show me a little bit of affection and I'll never leave you alone."
"Good" She said leaning down and kissing me. "I really don't what I would've done without you this week" She said.
"Not have gotten fired probably" I told her honestly and she looked at me "If you look at everything Mike fired you for..."
"Oh don't start." She said "Mike's been looking for ways to fire me since he realised I wouldn't sleep with him to get ahead like every other teacher in that school besides Eric does." She said "I just happened to move off my A-game for a bit and gave him little things to nitpick." She shrugged.
"I have a feeling you'll be reinstated after this course case." I told her moving the hair out of her eyes.
"I don't think so."
"Unfair dismissal is a big thing in a recession. People are being dropped left right and centre but you have to let them be aware of it. There was no procedure." I told her kissing her forehead. "And okay you made a couple of mistakes but everything else you have on all those other teachers, like how you told me how many times you'd be covering two classes because Jessica would have a 'meeting' with Mike? Or how Eric's wife was screwing Mike? Seriously Bella his negatives outweigh his positives by a long shot." I told her kissing her cheek.
"Dad said the exact same thing on the phone." She said. "He's really pissed." She added.
"Good the more outrage there is over this the better." I told her. "I've seen what you can do, you're an excellent teacher and you get kids inspired about work. So many people are in the profession for the long vacations and the hours; you're in it because you love to teach. I don't see how they..." I began rambling when her lips crushed against mine.
She swung her legs over mine so that she straddling me, her lips frantic against mine. My hands moved to her hips holding her in place before I decided to pull her shirt over her head. We pulled away for a brief second for me to lift the shirt over her head but then our lips were back attached to each other.
Her hands travelled down the front of my shirt unbuttoning it as she went. I moaned against her mouth as she pushed the shirt off my shoulders.
My erection was rock hard at this stage straining against my boxers and my zipper on my jeans.
"Implementing a dress code?" She whispered in my ear before kissing the spot behind my left ear.
"Something like that" I told her lifting her up off my lap and sitting her on the couch. I then pushed her onto her back and began kissing her again. She moaned as I lay on top of her. I smoothed my hands over her sides before moving to her front and popped open her jeans button.
"Edward" She gasped out causing me to stop.
"Did you not...?" I began when she stopped me.
"If you keep doing that you're going to lose your virginity on a couch." She said as she tried to catch her breathing. I laughed at her rational and leaned down to kiss her again. "I think we should go upstairs." She said
My heart quickened it's pace. This was really going to happen?
Now?
Oh God
She must have sensed my fears because she kissed my lips.
"I love you" She stated and I nodded. "You can do this." She added standing up. "Ready?" she asked holding her hand out to me and I nodded.
"Yeah" I said standing up.
Walking upstairs hand in hand I felt terrified.
What if I couldn't please her?
What if I... you know... ended before I started?
I showed her what bedroom to go to and she led me over to the bed.
"You dictate this" She said.
"No" I said shaking my head "I want you to..."
"Don't worry about me Edward. This is your time." She said gently stroking my face.
"Okay" I said nodding. We were standing beside the bed, so while standing I unzipped her jeans and pushed them down over her hips before lifting her out of them. "Will you...? Lay... down... on the b-bed?" I asked her and she nodded.
She lay down on the bed in nothing but her white underwear, her long brown hair coming to her mid back fanned around her.
"You're beautiful." I told her and she smiled.
"You make me feel beautiful" She told me.
"No I mean it you're perfect" I murmured pressing my lips to hers. I pulled away from her and unbuckled my belt and pushed my jeans over my hips before climbing onto the bed beside her.
"Tell me what you want" She whispered.
"You" I told her kissing her lips.
"Doing what?" she asked.
"This" I said as I continued kissing her. I was on top of her, doing my best to hold off the majority of my weight off of her so she didn't get squished. My hand reached up her back, in the past couple of weeks I had become a somewhat expert in getting her bra off. I unclipped it at the back and pulled it off her body. Our chests crushed together I pulled back gasping for some air.
"Do... what I mean is...? Um..." I said and she gently stroked my face.
"Take your time." She said soothingly.
"I don't know... I don't know if I'll..." I said stopping before taking a deep breath. "I don't know if I'll last long."
"That's not a problem" She said "I know"
"But I just want to..." I began and then she nodded.
"Then do it" She told me and I stared at her. "I'm ready if you are." She stated.
"I'm ready" I said. Taking a deep breath I pushed my boxers down my legs. I shut my eyes not wanting to see her initial reaction. I tried in vain to push away the fear that I wouldn't measure up to her ex. I heard her gasp and I opened up one of my eyes. "Bad?" I asked.
"No" She said. I looked at her and saw her eyes were wide.
"What?" I asked.
"You're huge" She said.
"What?" I repeated.
"I'm not sure that's going to fit in me" She said.
"So it's bigger then...?" I began.
"Then what?" she asked.
"Ja..." I began and she glared at me.
"Why are you even thinking about him?" she asked.
"Because I'm the one who has to measure up to someone else in this department." I told her. "You don't"
"That doesn't matter to me at all" She said sitting up. "Edward this is you and me here. Nobody else." She said before leaning in and kissing me. "I'm not comparing anything. Now come on just relax and stop thinking." She said and I nodded.
I kissed her soundly my hands playing with the top of her panties before I pushed them down her legs. I looked down at her and my mouth went dry.
"Breath" She reminded me and I nodded. "Whenever you're ready okay?" she asked and I nodded.
I took a deep breath and aligned myself along her entrance. I leaned up and kissed her again hoping to dispel my nerves but it wasn't working.
The tip of my penis pushed into her folds, it was very slick and intoxicating.
She moaned as I pulled together the courage to move further in.
She clutched my shoulder and groaned.
"Are you okay?" I managed to get out while I urged myself not to come immediately. I was currently counting backwards from a million in threes.
"That's a good noise babe." She gasped.
I felt like my entire body was on fire or something.
Nothing was calm, everything moving, spasming.
My breathing was laboured as I moved in and out of her.
"Oh God" Bella cried out and suddenly my stomach dropped and I stilled.
"I... I'm... ugh" I groaned out as I realised I was cuming.
"That's it Baby." She said leaning up and kissing me as I exploded in her arms.
Once I was done I dropped, my arms exhausted.
Not wanting to squish her I rolled onto my back so I was lying beside her not on her.
She stretched out beside me and I looked over at her while my breathing returned to normal.
"You alright?" she asked running her hand through my hair.
I couldn't speak so I just nodded.
"Was... that... I mean I know you didn't... but you did... I mean..." I stuttered.
Holy crap I wasn't a virgin anymore.
"It was great" She said leaning down and kissing me. "And don't worry about me this was about you." She whispered.
"I love you Bella."
"I love you too" She said as I kissed her.
So exhausted I fell asleep soon after that with my naked girlfriend wrapped in my arms.
Yeah I didn't recognise my own life anymore.
But that was a good thing.
I cried writing this chapter.
I mean seriously it was quite emotional.
Hope you enjoyed reading their first experience together as much as I enjoyed writing it.
Reviews are like kisses from Edward.
Love The Irish Cullen.
