Chapter 25. -Bella's POV

I didn't expect Edward's place to be all set up already, but it looked like time has already been spent on it. When he opened the door for me to walk in, most of everything were already set up.

It wasn't a fancy place, but a little bigger than mine. Couches were all there, white rugs on the floor and a big TV on the wall.

"C'mon, it's this way. I'll take your bag" He takes my purse from my hands and sets them on the dinning table.

I didn't know if I should take off my heels or not. I cringed as they made noise when he pulled me behind him.

He opened a room door and made a move for me to enter. I looked at him nervously before walking ahead when he squeezed my hand.

Did I mention I love the feeling of his hand in mine?

"Woww" I let out as I turned around in the room taking it all in.

It was an art room! A beautiful art room with a window.

"I had Emmett bring some of my stuff from Chicago and I've been setting everything up." He says walking up to me.

That means… "These are yours?" I asked wide eyes.

He smiled, "Yeah, you like it?"

"This is beautiful Edward" I cooed, taking a look again at the arts on the walls. There was also an area in the room where I could tell was to draw and to paint. He had tables, chairs and even an air matrass, guessing for when he gets too tired to go to his room.

I smiled as I stopped at one particular drawing. It caught my attention because it was a naked woman body in the air but i couldn't really see a face. The flowers around her were all so pretty.

I blushed and looked back at him. Of course, he was already staring at me.

"You like it?" he asks smirking.

I rolled my eyes playfully, looking back at a different one. It was 3 little kids in a pool and the smile on their faces had me reaching for it, but I halted.

"It's okay, you can touch it." Edward says beside me.

"You're such an amazing artist Edward." I said reaching up to touch the board.

After a while I began to relax as I moved away from it again looking at different one. It was like my own personal art gallery, I loved it.

My excitement at seeing his drawings and painting had me feeling confident so I said the one thing I always have thought about.

"Edward can you draw me?" I asked interested without looking behind me.

I heard his gasp and I turned around. "What?" I asked him curious.

He shakes his head, "This may sound creepy, but I've already drawn you." He grins.

I twisted my mouth, trying to keep my smile at bay. "Can I see?"

He nods and walks over to the table in the room, he opens a drawer before taking a folder out and setting it on the table. I walked over to him excited and picked up the folder.

I couldn't keep in my smile. The first drawing was in black and white, it had me spinning in a dance studio.

"Wow" I said. I felt Edward move and stood behind me.

"You like it?" He breathed down my neck. I nodded my head and moved to another one.

I laughed when I saw it was of me and Layla. At the park and I had Layla up in the air by the slide play grounds. We were both laughing.

It was beautiful even though I don't think Edward ever seen us like that. It has to be what he envisioned in his head.

The thought of that made me fall more in-love with his character.

Turning around and coming face to face with the man who has wholeheartedly stolen my heart and doesn't know, I stared at him and reached up, pressing my lips to his gently.

He stared at me silently after I pulled away then pulled me close circling his arms around my waist. Forgetting the folder in my hands I heard it drop as he began to kiss me harder than I did.

He paid it no mind as he picked me up by my butt and sat me on his table. I pulled him in and my hand scratched his scalp a little earning me a groan. He licked my lips asking and gaining entrance. I could taste a little of what he just had but he still tasted sweet.

He groaned backing away, "We should stop."

I gasped, taking in air but holding his face in place. "We don't have to." I whispered slowly not wanting to break away.

He quieted looking between my eyes, "Are you sure?"

I nodded, he contemplated for a few seconds before crashing his lips back on mine.

Call me stupid but seeing his arts made me a little horny and I would be damned if I stopped now and ruin the moment we were having.

He picked me up again and walked over to the matrass laying me down. I looked up at him, his lips were a little swollen but his eyes, they were a darker shade now.

Or was I going crazy?

He took off his cardigan and I quickly sat up taking off my shoes. I reached for my top, but he stopped me.

I looked at him thinking he changed his mind.

He simply laid me back and crawled over me. I was breathing hard at this point, he kissed down my neck to the top of my chest. Hands roaming over my body, he pulled my skirt up and I lifted my hips helping him a little. When one of his hands grabbed my breast over my top and squeezed I gasped and stared at him wanting more.

He slipped his hand under my top and could now feel how hard my nipples already were. He lifted the top all the way and I took it off myself including the bra. His eyes widen before he looked down.

"You're so beautiful, so full" he says feeling both breast and then bending his head licking a nipple.

I groaned, and my hand went into his hair. He latched on to one and sucked, squeezing the other.

I moaned pushing up my chest enjoying the feeling.

When satisfied he let out my nipple with a pop before doing the same to the other one.

My hands worked quickly as I began to unbutton his shirt. He shrugged it off when I had them all, now we were both top naked. I stared at his chest slowly taking him in, all the way to the bulge in his pants.

I looked up at his face suddenly nervous. I hadn't planned on this happening, suddenly I wasn't sure if this was a good idea. What was I doing?

"Hey." Edwards says over my face after seeing a change in my body, "It's okay Bella."

"I don't normal do this" I let out softly.

"I believe you. Do you want to stop?"

Do I?

"Do you?" I asked back.

He shakes his head after thinking about it, "No Bella, you're it for me. May seem too soon but I really can't see myself with anyone. From the beginning it was you, you caught my attention, brought me out of my shell. Made me me again, made me happy. I didn't think I deserved to have this kind of love again until you, you're all it is for me Bella. It would be a pleasure to show you how happy you've made me."

I bit my lips, blinking my eyes. "You make me happy too."

"I fell in love with you Bella." He lays his forehead on mine as he said that, and I closed my eyes basking in the moment.

I then cradled his face and kissed him. I had thought ever hearing those words from him would be difficult after Kate but oh am I glad he said it first.

"Edward what I have for you is greater than love." I said after parting. He smiled nuzzling my nose.

I giggled, and he rolled pulling me on top of him. My legs exposed as my skirt rode up around my waist. I bent forward and kissed him again. His hands went straight to my butt and he squeezed.

I groaned grinding my hips on his bulge. He rolled us over again and we separated for breath. He began to kiss down my stomach, when he got to my skirt he looked up asking with his eyes.

I nodded my head and he pulled it down my legs swiftly along with my underwear.

I guess we were not stopping after all.

.

I shot my eyes open and sat up hastily. I quickly jumped off from where I was before I noticed I was naked. I yelped and grabbed a sheet.

"Bella?"

I turned my eyes to Edward and we stared at each other in silence. My breathing picked up when my brain was calm enough for me to recall what happened yesterday.

"Oh my god" I chanted grabbing my head.

"Bella?" Edward moved in front of me, he looked defeated?

"I'm sorry." He said softly.

"What? Why are you sorry?" I asked and began searching for my clothes.

He sighed handing me my bra. "You don't have to run out you know?"

I stopped and really looked at him. "Oh, OH! No Edward, that's not it. I forgot to pick up Layla, god." I said feeling embarrassed.

His eyes widen, "shit" he said and helped me with my clothes.

I ran out of the room to the living room to get my purse. I took out my phone and saw I had 4 missed call. I groaned grabbing my hair tightly.

What kind of mother am I?

"Hey it's okay." Edward says from beside me taking my hand out of my hair.

"No it's not Edward, don't say it is, she could have hurt herself and I-I-" I sobbed

"I'm sorry, I should have-"

I shook my head stopping him, "it's not your fault. This is all mine, I gotta go." I said walking to his door.

"Ok but Bella…" he stops. I looked back at him and saw he was nervous.

"Um was last night okay? Are you ok? Was it too fast? I'm sorry If-"

"Edward." I stopped his rambling walking up to him. "Yesterday was beautiful, I'm sorry I have to rush out like this" I cradled his face gently.

He relaxed his shoulders, "Okay, I'll see you soon?" he asks squeezing my hand.

I nodded my head then turned back to his door before realizing and turning back.

"Edward, I need a ride"

-TLA-

I knocked on the door and waited chewing on my lips nervously.

"Bella?"

I looked up at Bri's mom sheepishly. "I'm so sorry Tess."

She chuckled, "It's okay, I just called to make sure you were okay. I didn't know it was going to be a sleep over"

I shook my head apologetically. "it wasn't supposed to. Something came up" I said through my teeth.

"Okay, just next time let me know. Layla is still asleep, she didn't easily go to sleep last night."

My heart clenched at that. "I'm sorry" was all I could say as I walked in.

When I had my baby in front of me, I couldn't stop apologizing to her. Though she was just happy to see me not understanding why I kept saying sorry.

"I love you so much baby." I kissed her head, "Mommy will do better, I promise." I whispered as I picked her up.

I walked us to Edward's car and she started babbling when she saw him, screaming his name. Even though I smiled a little at that, I still felt horrible.

I carried her in when we got home and pulled her close to me on my bed before falling into sleep.

I was awoken up by a heavy knock at door. I looked around me confused.

Gosh, I feel gross.

Layla was sprawled out inches away from me. I sighed looking at her and tucked a hair away from her face. I had to do better for her.

The knock came again.

I rubbed my eyes and carefully got off my bed. I took off my clothes and tied a robe on before getting the door.

"Who is it?" I mumbled out.

"It's Jen"

I halted and dropped my head down. She knew where I lived?

I took a deep breath and opened the door, "What do you want?"

She stared me uninterested. I looked at her and saw her shirt were wrinkled, her jeans ripped. I was confused and weary of her.

"It's more like what do you want?" she says back

"Excuse me? I want nothing from you or Jacob other than to leave me and my kid alone." I said arms crossed.

"Well," she stared down at her nails that were dirty by the way. "It looks like you're going to get your wish."

"What?" I asked totally at lost with a girl like her.

"Jacob is in the hospital. He overdosed."

I rated this story M just to be on the safe side. I'm sorry if you wanted all the details on the lemon.

I would so love to read your reviews!
