EPOV
"Damn it, Alice" I hear Bella shout, waking me up. "Why are you being so negative?"
"Why are you being so…so…so…ugh?" Alice shouts back.
Curiosity gets the best of me and I walk downstairs to see the pair arguing. Alice has her arms crossed and Bella is throwing her arms around vigorously. The glare from her ring lights up the room with every flick of her wrists.
Yep. That's all me
Both ladies look rather pissed. Bella is in her underwear and her hair is wrapped up in rollers as Alice is measuring Bella for her gowns…again. I thought Bella was exaggerating when she told me that Alice measured her at least 20 times for her Golden Globes dress. Now that I'm here to actually witness it, I'd say it's more like 30.
"I personally think it's a unique idea" Bella rolls her eyes, as she puts her hands up.
"I would expect something like this from Emmett. But, you? It's your wedding!" Alice shouts, measuring Bella's inseam.
"Exactly" she says. "I think that I deserve some input. Why are we even discussing this anyway?" she asks. "Edward and I just got engaged."
"It's been three weeks" Alice adds. "You two need to start deciding shit like this."
"Decide what?" I ask, taking a pear out of the bowl of fruit and biting it.
"Alice has appointed herself 'Chief Wedding Coordinator'." Bella pouts, crossing her arms. "We're one conversation in even discussing ideas and she's already crushing my dreams."
"They're stupid, Bella" Alice says, writing down Bella's measurements. "I hate to be a bitch. However, I must put my foot down. I can't in clear conscience organize what you're asking."
"What is she asking?" I ask, curiously.
"Edward, Alice won't let me…"
"Your fiancé' wants a moon bounce at your reception" Alice deadpans.
What?
"Seriously?"
"I know" Bella smiles. "Awesome right?"
"Bambi" I start slowly, wrapping my arms around her waist and kissing her neck. "Aren't we a little too old for a …"
"I told you" Alice interrupts, smiling.
"Come on" Bella says. "I already conceded my amusement park idea"
"Huh?"
"She wanted to get married at Disney World" Alice laughs.
"Another awesome idea she stomped the life out of" Bella gripes, eating a strawberry from my hands before placing a chaste kiss on my lips. "I love you"
"I love you too" I smile, as she hugs me tightly and smells my neck. "But, let's talk these things out together. Okay?" I ask, carefully.
I'm not that into wedding details. But I must admit that Bella's ideas haven't been that great.
"Fine" she huffs. "I admit. My Disney World and moon bounce ideas are left over elementary school."
"You've been planning your wedding that long?" I laugh.
"Edward" Alice rolls her eyes. "Every girl starts to plan their wedding in elementary school. All I have to do is insert the groom and monogram the towels and invitations" she says.
"Well, I'm sure our wedding would have been the event of the year… if we were in the 1st grade" I say, kissing her hair.
"Kiss ass" she giggles against my neck. "Besides, we just got engaged. We have time to think everything out."
"Can we decide something?" Alice asks, awkwardly. "I need something to report to Renee."
"You called my mom?" Bella asks, turning her head to Alice.
"Hey!" Alice raises her hands in surrender. "She called me"
"How did she even get your…" she starts before facepalming herself. "Dad"
"I must say, your dad sounds hot over the phone" Alice laughs. Bella punches her in the boob. "Your mom is crazy" she laughs.
"I know" Bella and I laughing in unison, no doubt thinking about when we told her we were engaged.
Flashback
"Hey fiance'" Bella says, placing kisses on my face.
"Yes, Ms. Cullen?" I ask, kissing her ring and causing her to blush and giggle. I just proposed to Bella last night, after a monumental fuck up on several accounts. Even though none of it went as planned, she said yes. I can't wait to tell this story to our kids. We'll just leave out the several rounds of hot tantric money sex we had later. I'll say we went out for ice cream.
"I'm gonna go Skype my mom" she says, easing out of the bed. She puts on one of my t shirts and sits at the screen to dial her mom.
"I'll take a shower. You'll probably need some mother/daughter time" I tell her, heading into the bathroom.
"Bella?" I hear a voice from the speakers in the room. "Bella? God damn it. I can't see any…oh! Hey sweetie. Did you redecorate? It looks nice" Renee says.
"Hey mom" my angel laughs softly. "How are you? How's dad and everyone?"
"Rude and crazy as usual" Renee says. "Although, your daddy has been acting a little weird since you and Edward visited. I think it's Manopause"
"Mom" Bella sighs. "Men don't go through a menopause period."
"Not that we know of"
"Anyway" Bella says. "I have something to tell you. It's kind of important."
"Oh my God" I hear a gasp. "You're pregnant!"
I cover my mouth with my hand so she can't hear me laughing at her.
"Mom"
"Oh honey, I'm so happy" I hear Renee get choked up. "She's gonna be so beautiful… with your lips, his eyes…and your nose… you have the cutest little nose… and his hair…and your body. She's gonna be unstoppable" she says, excitedly.
"Mom!" Bella interrupts. "I'm not pregnant. Edward and I aren't even…"
"Oh my God" she says again, this time shocked. "He dumped you, didn't he?"
"Mom"
This is getting hilarious.
"Fuck him, then. He doesn't know what a catch you are. He can't handle a woman like you. He just couldn't handle the Swan essence. His loss….what a pussy"
Ouch
"Mom" Bella laughs.
"I bet his mom is a bitch too"
"Mom" Bella says. I imagine she's shaking her head. "Esme is a nice lady. I'm trying to…"
"Don't defend her, Bella" Renee says.
"He what?" I hear Charlie yell in the background.
"Dad?" Bella asks, a little scared. "What are you doing?"
"I'm packing" Charlie says, in a stern voice. "I'm gonna kill that little shit."
Oh God. Please, no.
"Dad. That isn't necessary"
"What do you mean it isn't necessary?" he asks, as I hear the sound of something hitting the ground. "I have to keep my word."
"I'm not pregnant. I'm not single. I'm ENGAGED!" she yells. "I've been trying…"
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" Renee yells, and starts clapping. "I'm the Mother of the Bride. I knew it. I knew it the whole time. I knew he was the one" she backtracks. "Show it to me" she orders. "Ooooh" I hear two seconds later. "Is that a diamond inside of a diamond?"
"Yeah" Bella giggles.
"Dayum" Charlie says. "That's a lot of love"
"Ahhh, sweetie" Renee' sniffles. "He put a ring on it. Now, we're gonna get grandbabies."
"I'm not pregnant."
"Yet."
"Bye mom"
"Anyway" Alice says, interrupting my flashback. "She wants me to keep her up to date on all the arrangements since she doesn't live in California."
"Do you realize what you've done?" Bella asks, taking a vine of grapes from the fruit bowl. "We've only been engaged for 3 weeks."
"You two bicker like you're married" I laugh at them and duck when Alice throws a pen at me. "Do you remember what happened last time?"
"Shut up!" they yell in unison as Bella blushes.
The day Bella and I got back from Cabo, Emmett and Jasper met us at the airport to show us the latest YouTube sensation entitled, "Bella Behaving Badly." Someone videotaped Alice and Bella arguing outside of a hair salon the day I proposed to Bella. Bella said something about a hissy fit while little Alice yelled at her while trying to pry Bella's hands away from the headrest. It was in the top 5 most watched videos on YouTube for a week.
"How're the measurements going?" I ask Alice, as she writes something down. "Good" she says, shaking her head. "Once again, Bella has astounded me with her ability to eat like a maniac and not gain any weight" she finishes causing Bella to pat her stomach.
"Shouldn't you be getting to your other clients?" Bella says, nudging her shoulder. "Today is like Prom in Hollywood"
"Yeah" she says. "You get special treatment, though" she laughs as Bella puts her palm over her heart.
"Awww"
"I don't have to make any alterations to the dresses. So, we're good" Alice starts packing her stuff. "Edward, your tux was finished yesterday. You'll love it. I'll see you guys later. This was the easy part of the day. Halle Berry gained at least 3 pounds since her last fitting. It's gonna be hell altering that dress now."
"You'll do fine" I say, ushering her out the door.
"Good morning, handsome" Bella says, throwing her arms around my neck and giving me a kiss.
"A good morning indeed" I smile against her lips, as I set her on the kitchen counter.
"Someone has a big night tonight" she smiles, running her hands over my chest. "Are you nervous? Scared?"
"Nope" I tell her, as I scoot her ass closer to the edge of the counter. "You? I know you have to sing."
"Ugh" is her reply, before she places her face in the crook of my neck. "I don't wanna"
The Oscars are today which means that everyone has been an emotional wreck all week. The nominations were announced shortly after we got back. We both were nominated. Bella refuses to acknowledge it because she knows Natalie Portman has it in the bag for Black Swan. However, a song from Time was nominated for Best Song. It is custom for each song nominated to be sung live which is why she's nervous. She tried to get out of it.
No dice, there
"You'll do fine" I ease her, while running my hand to the clasp on her bra. "You're just trying to get laid" she breathes, kissing along my neck.
"Is it working?" I ask, as her bra drops to the floor and I start to kiss along her chest.
"Mhmm" she moans, before I tweak her nipple with my thumb and forefinger. "Oh, yes" she says, taking my pajama pants off along with my boxers.
I'm the luckiest fucker alive
"What the Hell, you guys?" Alice asks from the doorway in our bedroom.
"You're ruining their post fuck glow" I hear Rose say, shortly before I hear the noise of what sounds like a can of Pringles being opened.
"I just bought those" Bella gripes, before kissing me.
"Your rollers" Alice says, throwing a roller at us.
"I like it when Edward can pull my hair" Bella replies, kissing my throat. "They were in the way."
"15 minutes" Alice orders, before shutting the door.
"I'm getting the locks changed. They have too much access to my house" Bella deadpans, snuggling further into my chest.
"Or…" I start off slowly. "We can buy a new house…together" I finish, kissing her. "Really?" she asks, sitting up. "You want to buy a house with me?"
I'd been thinking about it since we got back from Cabo. It would be nice to have a place that wasn't hers or mine…but ours. It seems like a good time since we're getting married anyway.
"Actually, I want to buy you a house" I laugh, poking her stomach. "What's wrong with the house we have now?" she asks, looking around. "Nothing. I just think we should buy a house that's ours" I tell her. "You tend to
forget that I don't live here."
"You might as well" she says.
"What do you say?" I ask, tickling her.
"I'm gonna have to sell this place" she looks around. "at a loss" she finishes with a shocked voice.
"Aww" I pout.
"Nothing too outrageous" she points her finger at me. "I swear, if you buy a 9 bedroom /12 bathroom monstrosity, I'll beat the shit out of you"
"Is that a yes?" I ask, smiling.
"Yeah" she smiles, going in for a kiss.
"Okay" Alice barges back in. "Edward. Out!" "No" Bella mumbles into my chest.
"Come on" Alice says, clapping her hands. "I have to get you guys ready for the carpet and sew your dresses.
"Why do I need two dresses anyway?" Bella asks, crossing her arms.
"One for the carpet and awards, and another for your performance. The dress for the song has to be goth chic to go with the tone of the song and movie" she says, excitedly. "Now out!" she says. "It has to be a surprise"
"Fine" I gripe getting out of the bed. "I'll be back later"
"Okay" she blushes, before giving Alice the stink eye when she yanked her out of bed.
"Dude" Emmett says, closing in for a hug when I walk through my door.
"Where are your pants?" I ask him, putting my arms out.
I'm not hugging a man with no pants on/
"You know Rose and I got a house together right?" I nod my head. "Well, her hormones have been making her act extra insane…cause Bean is due like any day now. She kicks me out of the house at least twice a week. So, I come here to sleep because I gave up my apartment" he rolls his eyes.
"If I were you, I'd make him pay rent" Jasper says, as he hangs up the phone. "He even stocked the fridge."
"Why didn't you ask, man" I ask him, laughing.
"I knew you'd say yes" he shrugs his shoulders.
"How's it goin?" I ask, taking a piece of pizza from a box and promptly spitting it out when I bite it. "How long has this been here?"
"Splendid" Emmett jokes.
"Shitty" Jasper says. "Alice has been acting like a crackhead on steroids the past week, trying to get all of the dresses ready. On top of that, I've been getting at least 20 calls a day with questions about Bella's ring like I'm gonna slip up and change the story."
On the plane ride back, Bella and I realized that we wouldn't have a moment of peace once the press found out about the engagement. So, we made a decision that Bella would wear the ring on her right hand instead of her left. That way it looks like a ring with a diamond…and not a diamond ring. Only our closest friends and families know we're engaged. We'd like to keep it that way.
"Sorry" I say, going to look for some mouthwash to take care of that old pizza taste.
"It's cool. They aren't getting shit out of me" Jazz laughs, and grabs a bottle of water.
"Something came in the mail for you like 3 days ago." Em says, eating a handful of pretzels.
Where did those come from?
"What is it?" I ask.
"Let me see" he says, looking around the living room. "It's around…" he adds, looking in the couch cushions, before looking under the couch, "here!" he screams in victory and blows dust off of it and hands it to me. "I think you'd approve" he smiles as I read the title.
Shit
"Shit" I whisper excitedly.
"I know" he giggles. "I was sure you fucked your opportunity for this during the whole Lauren/Aro thing. But… the odds seem to be with you on this" he says, as I start to read the first page.
Lions & Lambs. The project had been floating around for about a year. It's about a Nazi who fell in love with a Jewish captive during the Holocaust. From what I heard, many actors wanted the lead role. I included myself in that category. I remember Aro mention it before. I just assumed I burned that bridge when I wouldn't go along with his plans.
"This kind of script gets actors little gold statues" Jasper says, sitting on the couch next to Emmett.
"I don't care about statues. I want it because it's great."
From then on, I didn't pay attention to anything anyone said. I was too engrossed in the story I was reading. It had action. It had drama. It had love. It was everything. It was sad as shit, though. I'd never been so excited at the possibility of being cast in a movie as I was now.
"Hey!" Emmett shouts, smacking me on the head. "
Ouch!" I say, throwing the script at him.
"It's time to get ready. You need to be at Bella's in like an hour…or 45 minutes…or hour and a half. I forgot" he says, checking his phone. "an hour… definitely an hour" he tells me, as Jasper throws a suit bag in my lap.
I go take a shower and get ready. I'm a guy so that's about as much as I do. Besides, I don't have to put that much into my appearance since people like the whole, 'I just got out of bed' look on me.
I have no idea why.
"Okay pretty boy" Em says, shutting the door to the limo. "We'll see you later" I flick him off and drive away.
It's a pretty lengthy drive to Bella's house because of traffic to and from the awards. Eventually, I arrive and head into the house.
"I can't wait to get this baby out of me" I hear Rose huff from downstairs. "He's been tap dancing on my bladder for the past 2 months"
"It'll be worth it, though" Alice says. "I wish you were having a girl. I wanted to make a baby dress" I can almost hear her pout.
"Bella…"
"We've only been engaged 3 weeks, Alice," Bella laughs. "Besides, I don't think you can dictate what you grow in your womb anyway."
"You don't think about it, though?" Alice asks, as I slowly make my way upstairs to make it easier to eavesdrop on their conversation. "A mini Bella… that did and said inappropriate things at inappropriate times just like her mommy?"
I think about it…all the time. I'm not getting any younger. I want to start a family.
"Of course, I think about it" I hear Bella say. "Of course, I want to have kids with Edward. I wouldn't be marrying him if I didn't. I'm gonna be thirty this year. No kid wants the old mom at the parent/teacher conference" she laughs lightly. "I want a boy though. Sorry Alice"
"Hmph"
"Do you ever think about Cam…"
"Hey, ladies" I interrupt Rose, making my entrance. I don't think now is the time to be bringing this topic up in conversation.
"No!" Alice screams, trying her best to cover up Bella's dress. "She's not quite ready yet."
"Out!" Rose points to the door. "She'll be ready in five minutes."
"Fine," I huff, going downstairs.
She's never ready on time.
"Hello, Mr. Cullen" I hear her unmistakable voice whisper from behind me. "I'm ready."
"Are you now?" I say, as I turn my head to see her dress.
Oh Hell no
I'm not saying the dress is slutty. It's not by a long shot. It's black and formfitting. The bottom of the dress flares out a little and it's made out of a pretty fabric with a nice design. It's just the top of the dress…with a slit that goes down the middle…not down the entire middle... But, it leaves a little cleavage. I bet if you tried really hard, you could see something. You can't really see anything. It just…it's just… (pic on profile)
People…men… are going to be looking at her
Shut up!
"Are you okay?" Bella asks, waving her hand in my face. "Uh huh" I say, slowly nodding my head.
"Alice has outdone herself this time" Rose pops in, rubbing her belly. "Mhmm" I say, staring at the slit in that damn dress.
"Look" Rose giggles, pushing Bella's dress up to show her
Oh my God
Bella has on some really high black silk hells. The bottoms soles are silver with a 'P' on them.
Sexy
"Shut up" Bella rolls her eyes, pulling her dress down. "I have to go potty" she adds, running to the bathroom.
"Rose?" I ask. "What the Hell?"
"What?" she answers, seeming confused. "What's wrong?"
"Her dress" I shriek. "It needs at least a half inch of fabric…only a half inch."
"Are you fucking insane?" she asks, slapping my head. "You can't see anything. You're overreacting. Your caveman is showing"
"People are going to look at her"
"People with eyes tend to do that" she retorts, laughing at me. "It's just…"
"Edward, Bella is sexy" Rose rolls her eyes. "Everyone knows it. Get over yourself" she finishes, as Bella walks back from the bathroom. "Wait till you see the performance dress"
"Okay. Now, I'm ready" she says, hugging my side.
"I can't wait to get this over with" I say, trying to loosen my tie.
"I'm scared" she mumbles, looking at the ground. "What if I forget the words? Or fall? Or curse on stage?" she questions. "So much can go wrong"
"You'll do fine" I kiss her on her forehead, causing her to giggle. Is she wearing a bra with this dress?
"Are you cold?" I ask her taking off my jacket. "I'm a little cold."
If she has my jacket on, no one can see.
"I'm okay" she says, running her hands through my hair. Damn it
"Are you okay?" she asks. "You're acting weird"
"I'm fine" I say. "I'm just…taking in the fact that every man will be staring at you" I tell the truth…in a somewhat humorous way. I'm hoping she won't see through it.
"Awww" she coos, biting my ear. "You know you're the only man I want staring at me" she smiles, as the car comes to a stop. "Here we go" she says, getting out of the car.
"Over here"
"Edward, how are you feeling tonight?"
"Show us that ring, Bella!"
"To the left"
"Are you two tying the knot?"
"How far along are you, Bella?"
"Over here!"
I tune out most of the sound and focus on signing autographs and smiling whenever I could. Normally, I'd be miserable. With Bella at my side, it felt a lot better. We each do photos together, and eventually, the fashion people drag Bella away to talk about her outfit. I'm so glad I don't have to do that shit. After a while, we're seated and ready for the show to start. Soon, the lights dim and the hosts come out.
The first half of the awards, they give out awards that no one outside of Hollywood knows about. As the show went on, I notice that Bella's hand started getting sweatier and sweatier.
"Bambi" I whisper in her ear. "It's going to be okay"
"Oh God" she whimpers. "They're gonna call me back there any minute. It's gonna be so bad, Edward…so bad. I can feel it. I'm not a singer" she says, fanning herself and looking around like she's scared something is going to come and eat her.
"It's just your nerves" I say, lightly kissing her neck. "It's one song. It will be over before you know it."
"I don't want to…"
"They'll sue you" I tell her, knowing that if I pull on how cheap she is, she'd cave. "for millions"
"For mill…"
"Miiiiilllllllions" I draw the word out, as someone from backstage taps Bella on her shoulder.
"Ms. Swan" she says, pointing to the back.
"Okay" Bella says, looking at the ground before following her backstage.
As it signals, that we're coming back from commercial, my phone starts to vibrate.
Bella: I'm gonna make a run for it
Me: MILLIONS! Bella: Damn it
"Singing a song from the hit musical Time, here is Bella Swan" an announcer as Bella walks out on stage.
Daaaaayum!
She has on a red dress with some flowery foldy stuff going up the side of it and a huge black necklace. Then, she started walking.
Why is that slit so high?
Seriously. It goes all the way up her thigh.
Look at those boots!
They're black and what looks to be leather and go to mid thigh. Jesus!
Thanks Alice
Then, the man who plays her love interest, whose name escapes me because he isn't important, comes on stage.
He totally fucked her with his eyes. Mine!
I shake the thoughts from my head as the music starts to play. Bella's eyes are as big as saucers as she scans the crowd.
"It's okay" I mouth as I meet her eyes. She closes her eyes and sings the first note.
"Thank you" she smiles and waves, as the crowd cheers. I stand up to clap for her, causing others to as well. Eye Fucker walks her offstage.
Did he just caress her back?
After that, the show flew pretty quickly. Colin Firth won for The King's Speech and Natalie Portman won for Black Swan. I couldn't really be mad. He did a great job. Hopefully, I could network about the Lions & Lambs script at the after party. I'd be done with Inception soon and this would be an excellent follow up.
Walking to the car, I notice Bella looking around and rubbing her stomach. "Hungry?" I ask, rubbing her stomach.
"Yes" she mumbles, shaking her head. "Alice wouldn't let me eat. She hid all of my snacks"
"How long?" I ask, laughing.
"All day" she deadpans. "I haven't eaten…all day."
"Well, let's get you fed" I smile, opening the door for her.
She walks in and sniffs the air, before turning to the left. "I smell chicken teriyaki. I'll be back in 5 minutes" she says, before walking away.
"Sorry, man" Jasper comes and gives me a man hug. "That sucks"
"It okay" I shrug. "He did a good job."
"You gotta admit" Rose pipes in, wiping some food from her mouth, "A king of England with a speech impediment beats a douchebag deadbeat father and husband when it comes to Oscar season."
"You were great, though" he says. "I have a feeling the script you read is the key to the statue" he says, pointing to Martin Scorcese.
I give myself a once over and make my way over to talk with the famous director about the movie.
"Where is your fiancé'…or wife…or whatever?" Leah Clearwater stops in front of me.
"We aren't eng…"
"Quit the shit. I've seen you two… more than I'd like to" she grimaces, probably thinking about when she caught us almost fucking in the bathroom. "You are soooo getting married. It's okay. I won't tell…mostly because I don't care" she stage whispers.
"Follow the smell of food" I laugh and point her to where Bella went off to.
As she leaves, I gather my balls and make my way over. I don't believe in kissing people's asses to get jobs. I'd like to think that over the years, my body of work speaks for itself. So, after Scorcese if done talking, I tap him on his shoulder.
I spend about 30 seconds telling him that I read the script and would love to work with him. After that, I left feeling pretty good.
"Hey sweetie" Bella smiles, wrapping her arms around me. "Scorcese. Nice" she grins.
"He sent me the Lions & Lambs script" I tell her, trying not to sound excited.
"Really?" she asks, matching my excitement. "I know you wanted to do that"
"A lot of people want it" I say, eyeing Christian Bale who just walked up to the director.
"If it's meant to be, it'll happen" she says, before kissing me. "Edward?"
"Yes" I smile.
"Does this dress make me look fat?" she asks, rubbing her hands on her stomach.
"What?" I ask, looking at her like she's crazy. How could she look fat in anything? She only weighs like 100 pounds. "No!" I laugh.
"You sure?" she asks, looking straight into my eye. "Yes" I laugh some more. "Why would you think that?"
"Natalie Portman asked me how far along I was" she mumbles, looking at the ground.
"She didn't"
"Yeah. She did" she giggles. "I want having some chicken teriyaki rice thing…then I found out they were having steak…then I found some smoked salmon. She came out of nowhere, and was all like, 'Aww. How far are you? Your child will be so adorable.'" I wish you the best" she says, in her Natalie Portman voice. "I was so horrified. I almost didn't finish my plate" she shakes her head.
"I told you" Jasper laughs. "Bump watch"
"It's probably because you eat so much" Em chimes in, eating something. I'm not quite sure what it was.
"I'm pregnant and I don't eat as much as you" Rose says, laughing. Bella throws her the bitch face.
"Bean" Bella retorts.
"Stop calling my son Bean!" Rose hisses. "Even Emmett is saying it now. I swear, I'm gonna give your kids horrible nicknames"
"Well, if they're anything like me they won't care" Bella laughs at her, as Emmett follows suit.
"Hey Bella" says my Inception co-star. "Hey Edward"
"Joseph!" Bella says, giggling. "It's been forever. How are you?"
Joseph Gordon fucking Levitt. I haven't told Bella anything, but it seems like every time we're in the same room together longer than 20 minutes, he asks me how Bella is doing.
Did he just look at her chest? Eyes up top buddy.
"It's been good" he says. "I just wanted to say hi. " he says before walking away
Bella starts to rub my back as he walks away.
"You're ridiculous" Bella says, laughing. "I felt you shaking"
"Whatever" I say.
We stay a bit longer before deciding to head home. I take the time during the ride to finish the discussion we were talking about earlier.
"What neighborhood do you want to live in?"
"Nowhere pompous like Bel Air or Beverly Hills…please?" she asks, looking at me.
"Come on" I throw my hands in the air. "You're sucking all the fun out of it"
"We don't need a 9 bedroom house, Edward"
"What about the kids?" I ask, interested. "I want a house full of kids"
"Wait a minute. You want to have 7 kids?" she asks, grabbing her crotch.
"Wouldn't it be 8… if the house is 9 bedrooms?"
"One room would be for guests" she explains calmly, before grabbing her crotch again.
"7 would be nice" I smile at her, enjoying seeing her sweat.
"What the Hell Edward?" she asks. "You're trying to turn my vagina into Grand Central Station!"
"Calm down" I laugh. "I promise, we won't get a house bigger than 7…"
"6" she interrupts, staring at me.
"Fine" I relinquish. "No houses bigger than 6 bedrooms…with an attic, basement, pool, tennis court, basketball…"
"Edward" she gasps. "That's so expensi…"
"We have money" I laugh at her. "Trust fund baby, remember?" I ask, pointing to myself.
"It's just… I don't want you to think I'm only mar…"
"I don't think that" I interrupt, already knowing what she's thinking. "I like making you feel happy and secure. Let me do this. Please?" I ask, kissing her neck.
That's the spot.
"That's not fair" she moans into my neck.
"I've been known to fight dirty" I say, running my hand inside the slit on her gown to caress her breast, before sucking her bottom lip into my mouth.
She wasn't wearing a bra.
"Just…ooh…p-promise me…no obscene…oh God… amounts of m…"
"Of course" I shriek, as she starts to unzip the fly on my pants. Then, the car stopped.
"Fuck"
"Damn it!"
"Again?" I ask no one in particular, as I zip my pants up.
"One of these days" Bella shakes her head, and straightens her dress.
"I look forward to it" I smile, kissing her neck again for good measure.
We head inside and quickly start to take off our clothes to get more comfortable.
"Edward?" Bella asks. "Speaking of large amounts of money…I've been thinking about something."
I'm baaaack. I was done quicker than expected with my finals. I got out a couple of days early. I missed this story. For some reason, writing this chapter was like pulling teeth. Maybe it's because I had to write so many papers. Oh well… sorry if it sucked. I promise the next one will be better. I plan on introducing another character next chapter. Can anyone guess?
Hey, guys!
I'm starting work on Charlie's Daughter. I should have the first chapter up by next week. I've been in a funk for the past few months. Writing tends to help me out. For those who aren't familiar with the plot of Charlie's Daughter...
Charlie Swan is an international conman who has been on the run from the FBI for the past 15 years. Edward Masen is an FBI agent with a score to settle against Charlie. When the FBI receives a tip, Edward uses unorthodox methods to track Charlie. He gets close to hotshot lawyer Bella Swan, Charlie's daughter and the last person to see Charlie face-to-face in the US in hopes of finding leads to catch his target.
