Chapter 26- How Long Must You Pay For It
BPOV
What a bastard. I couldn't believe he left me hanging off the side of a cliff like that, well, I was literally hanging off the side of the bed for him, and he just left me. How could he do that?! After we had to wait for me to get over everything and whatever to actually have sex, and he always seemed eager for it, and now he was denying me? Where is the sense in this world?! Anyway, I was pissed.
But if he wanted to go there, then lets go there. I was prepared, I wasn't going to be taking this lightly. Other than the few things I said about the suitcase, I kept to my word and didn't talk to him until we were downstairs where everyone was having brunch.
All of the Cullen's and the Denali's, Carlisle's sisters family, where sitting there already. There was a long white clothed table with Edwards family situated around it. In the centre were floral decorations and lots of croissants, jam, butter, toast, pots of tea and coffee and fruit. I guessed everything else would have to be asked for.
"Good morning you two, did you have a good night?" Esme asked, gesturing us over with her affectionate smile.
"Yes thank you mom, we had a very good night, didn't we Bella." I blushed and looked down,
"Uh, yes, we did... thank you." Esme either didn't get what Edward was getting at or simply chose to ignore it and smile,
"Wonderful, now come and sit down, we're just going to order."
"Finally!" Alice waved at us, well me anyway; all the girls seemed to be gathered down one end and the boys the other, with the exception of Vienna and Carmen, "The boys up there. Oh and Grandma wanted to sit next to you." she told Edward, pointing further up the table.
He sighed and I smiled at him before I sat in between Alice and Rose and he went up to the other end. I looked over at him as I tucked my chair in and he pulled his mouth up at one side into his infamous smile. Bella, we're supposed to be pissed off still here, c'mon, you're letting the side down! Oh yeah, sorry, sorry, he's just so... Hey, snap out of it!
I turned my head to see I was sitting directly opposite Tanya, who was biting into a croissant,
"That's her sixth one." Alice whispered to me, "If we don't order soon, she's coming for you Bella!" She giggled and I hit her arm. Seriously though... I don't want to be eaten...
"Oh my god, when she comes back home she is so going to eat everything in the house! I better start stocking up now..." Rose sat watching her like she was something from another planet.
"Rosalie, I heard that." Tanya looked up from her croissant and narrowed her eyes,
"Good. So you'll know why I'll start putting chains on the cupboards then. I'll have to warn Jasper..."
"I'm not going to eat everything." Her frown deepened but it looked as if she was getting upset.
"We're going to have to put you in a cage until the baby comes. Send in innocent children and watch you devour them. Maybe you'd start chewing on the bars if we left you without for too long..."
"Seriously, Rose, don't push her, I think she actually will cry or something..." Alice whispered over but Rose didn't take any notice and continued rambling,
"And oh my god, my stash of Oreo's! I swear to god Tanya, if you find those and eat them...!" Tanya just looked pissed off now,
"Rose, shut the hell up!" She snapped. Rosalie sat back, slightly aghast as Tanya tore through another piece of her croissant whilst glaring at her, "Just shut up!" she snarled again.
Alice and I decided it was best if we just didn't say anything, I really didn't want to be eaten and Alice just thought she was crazy. Rose narrowed her eyes,
"Don't get in a stress with me, I'm not the one who's got herself pregnant and is now going to eat us out of house and home! I should be stressed here, what am I going to do for food?! I'm going to have to move out while you're there!"
Tanya looked positively evil now, like she had just morphed into some kind of demon and was hissing and spitting at Rose. Oh my god, I can see the horns appearing... is that a tail?! And her teeth! Let the power of Christ compel thee! Someone get some holy water!
"Well I didn't ask for this did I?! I've got another fucking person growing inside me now!" She was leaning forward over the table now, as was Rose. I honestly thought for a second she might just bite her head off.
"Yeah well I didn't ask for it either! So why should I have to live with your mess?! You did this Tanya, you and your scummy boyfriend, who, may I add, I don't see around anywhere..."
This sent Tanya off into overdrive. I clung on to Alice's arm and looked up the table to see Edward and the others looking down at the argument now going on. I widened my eyes at him as if to say 'Save me!' but he just chuckled and then pulled out his blackberry and started texting something. Seconds later my phone buzzed:
Haha! Oh sorry, I think I'm going to leave you there to suffer, just like you did the other week to me when Carlisle came in...! But then that kind of got you in the ass hey... Well, have fun down there gorgeous, I'm sure you will. Remember, I love you x
I looked down at my phone and then up at him and narrowed my eyes.
EPOV
Literally three seconds later I got a message back:
Karma's gunna get you Edward Cullen, but not if I get there first! You're such a bitch today! Ugh! I'm not loving you right now, so thanks xoxo
I looked up at her to see she was scowling back at me before she turned to watch Rosalie and Tanya's verbal battle. Aw, Edward, no love for you! I chuckled and sent another.
BPOV
My phone buzzed in my hand, and I stopped watching World War III to look at it:
I'm sorry you feel that way my love. I think I'll have to stick around for karma to get me though, I don't think you're going to get the chance seeing as Tanya seems a bit crazed and hungry and you're directly in her firing/consumption line... I'll give you a great funeral though, don't you worry. I love you x
EPOV
Fuck you xoxo
BPOV
I know you want to. X
I looked up at him and he had an evil grin on his face. I could feel my cheeks tint a bit, not because I was embarrassed though, because I was pretty pissed off. My phone buzzed again:
I think the word you're looking for is 'touché'.
Smart ass. What the hell, he knows I do... look at him there with his smug smile, damn you Edward! I shook my head, putting my phone down and looked back at the argument which seemed to be dying down, mainly because Tanya now just looked like she was going to cry.
"It's not my fault ok, I'm hungry, I can't help it!" She cried, picking up another croissant and sadly breaking off a piece and putting it in her mouth.
"I know but geez, you know, I'm just saying..."
"Well don't just say! I don't even want to be eating this, I'm going to be fat enough as it is, I already am... and I have a constant need to eat ice-cream, do you know how many calories there are in ice-cream? Lots Rose, lots!"
I could see the tears building in her eyes and Alice and I sat back waiting for her to burst.
"Well don't you need them? You need a bit more food seeing as you're eating for two... thousand." She whispered the last part and luckily Tanya didn't hear, but she began sniffing as she ate,
"Well yeah, I do... but I don't want to be fat after it as well. It's bad enough now!"
"You know what they say, a moment on the lips a lifetime on the hips!" I turned to Alice and shook my head, Nice one Alice, nice one.
"Exactly!" Tanya wailed, a tear falling down her cheek. Rose looked over at Alice and raised an eyebrow and Alice mouthed 'sorry'.
"Tanya this is different though, it's not all for you. I'm sure it'll all go when you've had it anyway." She nodded and then sucked herself up and wiped her eyes.
Esme, was sitting next to Tanya, watching her anxiously, decided now to speak. She put her hand on Tanya's and rubbed her back,
"Now dear, there's no point getting too worked up about it, I don't think stress does you or the baby any good. You've always got us if you have any problems."
She smiled kindly and Alice rolled her eyes and rested her head on her hand, her elbow propped on the table.
Tanya nodded and then smiled brightly, "I guess you're right. D'you know I'm finding out the sex of the baby at my next ultra-sound, so that's pretty exciting isn't it! We can stop calling it 'it'... mm, can we order now, I really am hungry and croissants just aren't filling the void..."
Esme chuckled but Rose, Alice and I just sat staring at her like she was crazy again. I mean I thought Alice and I had seen the worst of it yesterday with just the crying. Today we get angry, crying and now some weird happiness, I can't tell? Wow, her hormones must be all over the place... you're telling me.
"Psycho." Alice muttered as Tanya waved someone over and began ordering everything, a huge grin on her face. The waiter quickly pulled out a pen and paper to write it all down.
After she was done with her extensive list and exactly how it should be cooked, screaming at the waiter when he repeated the list and something was wrong, the rest of us ordered what we wanted. Alice turned to me once we were finished, still eying Tanya suspiciously,
"Bella, make sure when I have children, I never get like her... ever."
EPOV
"Sooooo, Edward." Jasper looked over at me and winked.
I turned away from staring at Bella to look at him, waiting for him to continue but he didn't say anything else, he just sat with a sardonic smile. Emmett was sitting next to Jasper and turned to look at him and then look at me and mimicked his face.
"...What?" I asked, my eyes narrowed and looking at them both. Emmett started chuckling,
"Oh Eddie, I think you know." What? I don't know, what are they talking about?
"No, I really don't, hence the question..."
Our food came then and was put down in front of us; they both just laughed and then began eating. I really didn't get what they were getting at here so I shrugged it off and started on my food, talking quietly to my Grandmother as I did. When she turned to talk to Carmen and Eleazar, Emmett and Jasper decided to raise there voices so I could hear.
"Mhm, I too am a fan of chicken, especially when it's been cooked real nice and it has all those lovely juices and everything."
Jasper nodded, "I agree. What part do you like the most, I love the leg." He took another bite of his food.
"Oh I am definitely breast. I just love it." He grinned and turned his head to me, "Hey little bro, which bit do you like best. Leg or breast?" Oh ha ha ha, I can see right through this. I narrowed my eyes at them and didn't answer.
"I've always seen you as a leg kinda guy, you know..." Jasper looked down the table at Bella. Emmett shook his head,
"No, no, I think he's all for the breast as well. That's where the tenderest parts are. Yeah, I think Eddie's definitely a breast." He looked down the table at her as well and the both of them tried to hold in their laughter.
"...Are you still talking about chicken?" I asked with my eyebrows raised,
"Of course, what else would we be talking about?" Emmett sounded quite offended but I could hear the humour in his voice and Jasper was still trying to hold in his laughter.
"Oh I don't know..." I rolled my eyes, "Anyway, I like both the same, so." I put my knife and fork onto my plate and sat back in my chair since I'd finished.
"Hm, oh ok. Well, I still think the leg is best. All the best bits are further down if you ask me." Jasper turned his head back and pushed at some of the food on his plate. What the hell...
"What are we talking about over here?" My grandma turned her attention to us,
"Oh nothing Grandma, we were just talking about chicken." Emmett smiled innocently.
"Oh really? I'm not a fan of chicken myself, I prefer pork. Nothing beats a good sausage." They've got to be kidding me.
Jasper actually laughed out loud this time getting weird looks from Carlisle who was sitting on the other side of him.
"Rose likes sausage, she's always eating it." Are they actually talking about food here or is my mind just in the gutter?
"Alice likes them too... maybe it's a girl thing." Jasper looked down at his plate and shook his head, clearly trying not to laugh again. Nope, I'm pretty sure this isn't me.
"Does Bella like sausages?" I turned to face my grandmother. This was too weird, clearly this whole conversation had a double meaning that she evidently wasn't going to get. I sighed at her and turned back,
"I don't know Grandma..."
"Oh come on Eddie, you must know. I bet she does." Emmett winked and Jasper started turning a weird shade of purpley red as he laughed to himself. I glared at them.
Oh yeah Jasper, this is just hilarious isn't it... This whole thing wasn't actually helping my mental situation. Already my mind was hanging around the gutter but these comments just had my thoughts diving in.
Not to mention the whole happenings of earlier, I was beginning to think refusing Bella wasn't such a great idea for either of us. I was getting agitated and then I'd look down and see her at the other end...
My phone buzzed on the table, I picked it up and read the message:
Edward please can we just go back upstairs? :( xoxo
It was from her, of course. I sighed, I was tempted to just tell her we could go back upstairs and stay there until we had to go to the airport but I knew that she'd hate me for it later... well maybe not, but I knew somewhere inside her, she was dying to see the city. I text her back something about sightseeing and how I knew she really wanted to go, a reply soon followed:
I know, I do want to go... I suppose I can wait. Do you promise though? I'm still pretty pissed you left me like that ;| Not cool Edward... Xoxo
I text back saying I was sorry and that when we got home I was all hers. Once I had sent it, I looked up the table at her. She looked at her phone and then up at me and smiled although I could see behind her smile she was still annoyed.
"Does she like banana's?"
Emmett was clearly trying to list every food he could think of that could be taken suggestively. Grandma, still totally oblivious to what he was actually doing, just sat and said she liked most of the foods he was naming which just sent Jasper into hysterics. I looked at him and shook my head,
"Emmett, just stop. Bella likes a lot of foods I'm sure, why don't you go and ask her yourself if you care that much. Now can we change the subject please." Emmett crossed his arms and sat back,
"Well maybe I will."
"Well maybe you should." I picked up my orange juice and started drinking it,
"I just think that perhaps food isn't the only thing she likes the taste of, maybe she's acquired a taste for other things, hm Eddie... like maybe your penis"
He said the last part quietly but I heard it and so did Jasper. WHAT THE HELL! THAT WASN'T OBVIOUS OR ANYTHING! SHIT, WHAT IF GRANDMA HEARD THAT?! OH JESUS.
I slammed my glass down on the table, knocking a few small things off, and started choking on the orange juice.
"Oh dear, Edward darling, are you ok there?!"
When I stop this bloody choking I'm going to wring Emmetts neck...! Grandma started rubbing my back as I continued coughing and spluttering and I heard my phone buzz somewhere but it wasn't on the table anymore.
Emmett and Jasper were both laughing hysterically, Emmett rocked back on his chair and almost fell off. He should have fallen off, I would have pushed him off if it wasn't for all this damn coughing!
My eyes began watering as I continued to choke, the patting on my back really was not doing anything,
"Oh my god, look at his face!!" Emmett managed to get out between the laughter. DIE.
As I began to calm down and I could see properly again, I saw the whole table was looking at me, a few staring at Jasper and Emmett who were each taking deep breaths to settle themselves. Bella, Alice and Rose were all quietly laughing to themselves too. Oh great, so now I look like the idiot. Fantastic.
Esme was asking me whether I was alright and Sasha was looking just as concerned, I put my hand in the air, "Mom, really I'm fine... just you know, choking because of some retards comment." My voice was raspy and I narrowed my eyes at Emmett.
My phone buzzed again but I was drinking a glass of water now to clear my throat. My grandmother looked around and then picked it up off of the floor,
"Oh, Edward dear, you dropped your phone. You got a message from Bella... I don't know why she's texting you, I mean she's just there. Shall I read it to you?"
I still had the water to my mouth and I didn't really fancy choking again, so I shook my head and swallowed the drink, but apparently my grandma had other idea's and decided to read the text aloud anyway. I glanced over at Bella and for some reason her eyes were wide with fear and she was shaking her head at me mouthing 'no no no',
"Um, Grandma...could you not..." My voice was still quiet and croaky and cut off at the end so I guess she didn't hear me. Conversation on the table died down a bit as people listened to the text, Jesus, this family is so nosey...
"Ok, mm, it says... 'Edward I don't want to wait anymore, I don't want to sound whiny and I am definitely not begging, but I want you now, on this damn table if we must. I need you to fu-...'" There was silence as she read the rest of the message in her head,
"Oh my..." She cleared her throat and put the phone in front of me, looking as if she was trying to hold in a laugh as she brushed herself down and tucked a strand of her white hair neatly behind her ear.
BPOV
I think there are certain times in life where it may occur that suicide should be a definite option. If there's nothing left to live for, if there is a huge meteorite coming for earth and chance of survival is slim, any form of natural disasters to a large and catastrophic scale where chances of survival are again slim, if living means you're only going to suffer in pain until the day you finally die, or if your boyfriends grandmother reads a text message aloud to the rest of his family in which you request him to attend to your sexual wants.
So, how are we doing this then? Overdose, cutting, drowning? Maybe throw yourself off the top of a building, there are some really high ones round here...
This was possibly the most embarrassing thing to ever happen to me. And I had quite a few embarrassing memories but I think this may well have put itself as number one. Do you think that butter knife will cause any harm? Hm...
Mortification was really an understatement for what I felt like right now. And there was no-where for me to run to. This was getting too much and there was no bathroom or bedroom or tub of ice-cream. Just me and a table of people. You're fucked.
At first everyone was looking at Edward who looked at his phone to read the message himself. When he was done he grinned and then picked up his water again even though he wasn't actually drinking it, he clearly just wanted the attention turned off of him. Which only threw it all on me.
Every single person on the table was now looking at me, except for Edward, he was looking at his phone. My face was burning, I could feel it. And I couldn't say anything, what could I say?! There was nothing to say, apparently my text said it all, hey, at least they didn't hear the rest of it...
Alice was the first to crack, her face was turning a bright pink and then she started laughing hysterically, followed by Rose and Tanya and Kate, and then further up the table, Emmett began booming out and I could hear Jasper and Carmen, Garrett and Eleazar. So basically everyone on the table except for Carlisle, Esme, Vienna and Sasha were laughing, but even they looked as if they were holding in theirs in.
I was not laughing obviously! There is nothing funny about this! I want to die. The actual need to die right now was so strong, and it wasn't getting any better now that everyone was laughing. This is my life. One big joke.
"Oh my god, Bella, what else have you been texting him?!" Alice squealed before going into another fit of laughter.
"I.. don't even... want to know!" Rose gasped out, trying to get air. Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Oh my god, what does everyone think of me now?! Carlisle heard that! And Esme! Never mind Vienna, and she read the whole text! Oh my god... when I get home, I'm never leaving my room again. And I am never going to any Cullen family gathering! Nuh-uh! Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god.
So I just sat there because I honestly didn't know what to do. What was I supposed to do, excuse myself? Hm, I could do that, but that would just make it worse. So I sat in my chair, subject to this hilarity, and started to sink down, down, down.
I turned to look at Edward who was still grinning and clearly trying not to laugh as well, he was watching me and I stared back at him showing I wasn't finding this so funny and may just cry. Oh god, don't cry, that'll just make this even more awkward! I can't help it, it's what I do when I get this embarrassed!
He sighed, although he still had a small smile, and stood up from his chair. I followed him with my eyes as he made his way down the table and round to where I was sitting,
"Oh Bella." He chuckled before holding out his hand. I frowned and looked at it for a while, and then looked at all the people still laughing at me, took it and stood up.
"Bella and I are going sightseeing now, please excuse us." Edward announced, Carlisle nodded his head at him and Sasha began giggling.
"I bet buildings and galleries won't be the only sights you'll be seeing hey Eddie!" Emmett laughed, "Oh my god, I can't breathe!"
Edward rolled his eyes and started walking towards the door. I followed behind, my head low, I was watching my feet as we left so I wouldn't have to make eye contact with anyone. I heard a wolf-whistle and then Esme scolding Emmett. Owww, why me, why me? I bet this is karma. Karma's a bitch. Not getting a Christmas card from me this year, that's for sure...
EPOV
Bella didn't say much as we went back to the room to get our things for sightseeing. At one point I was sure she was going to start crying or something but instead she just sighed. I thought the whole thing was really very amusing, just the fact that my grandmother read it out though. My grandmother. In front of my parents and aunty. That just made me cringe.
I still wanted to kill Emmett, none of that would have happened if he'd just shut up in the first place...
"Are you ready to go then?" I put my jacket on and a pair of leather gloves. Bella sighed again and I tilted my head to look at her, "We could always stay here if you really want to...?"
Again she sighed and wrapped my scarf around her neck. Stop sighing, start speaking!
"No, we can go. That whole... what just happened... we just can't now. I just... I'm sorry... I can't believe... oh my god. I'm sorry." She was shaking her head while she put her bag on her shoulders and blushed.
I walked over to her, took her hand and kissed it, "When we get home, I'm all yours still." She smiled and looked in my eyes. Her gorgeous brown eyes were melting into mine, I stroked her cheek with the back of my hand and then held it out for her,
"Come on then."
***
She was quiet, I guessed still out of embarrassment, until we actually got outside and into the midst of the city. That's when my Bella came out again. She stared at everything with such amazement and wonder.
With some things, I could see exactly why she gazed at them in such awe, like the Empire State Building, how on earth did they build something so high?! But then smaller things, simpler things, like a man selling newspapers at a news stand, she'd slow down just so she could watch him and then smile.
The whole experience was one of those where I wished I could hear her thoughts, then maybe I could share the same interest and enthusiasm in things. A lot of the stuff I was showing her I'd already seen before, like the Statue of Liberty, Central Park, various art galleries etc, but it was all new to Bella.
We had our taxi zipping us about all over the place, we didn't have the time to see all the things properly, like the Statue of Liberty we looked at from a distance, but at least she'd seen it. When we got to Times Square, we walked the streets on foot. As soon as we got out of the taxi she walked ahead of me and stood with the biggest smile on her face.
She spun round just to get the full view of everything and I stood watching her while all the busy people passed by, seemingly untroubled by her spinning.
"This is amazing!" She said, finally slowing and then coming to a stand still. I pointed to the largest screen among all the large screens that lined the buildings,
"Look." She turned her head to look at the biggest one to see that she was on it and it was following her every move. "Hm, I thought I should share with New York the beauty I'm lucky to see every day."
She looked around eagerly, a smile still on her face, "Oh my god, Edward, how are you doing that?!" I smiled and walked towards her, so I was now on the screen as well.
I took her mitten covered hand, put her other one on my shoulder and my other one on her waist, and we started dancing, not even bothered by the fact there was no music,
"Edward! I can't dance..." she looked down at her feet as she stumbled around.
"Ah, my dear, it's all in the leading. You think about your movements too much." When she wasn't thinking about it, she could dance fine.
I lifted her up slightly so she was standing on my feet. She started laughing as we waltzed around on the sidewalk, some people passing giving us strange looks, hey, who cares, we're in New York! I didn't care anyway, all I could see was her.
"See, you're dancing."
She laughed again. I watched her as we swirled around. She'd put her hair into two cute plaits, one on either side of shoulder, they sat on the scarf. Her nose and cheeks rosy from the cold and her eyes were glinting. She looked beautiful. She was beautiful. I smiled at her as we turned and she laughed. I twirled her around on her own and she beamed,
"Edward, I..." I cut her off by kissing her, she made a small whimpering sound as I pushed against her lips. She was clearly taken by surprise but then she relaxed into it putting her arms around my waist and pulling me closer.
I put my hand to her face to hold her to me and caress her soft cheeks. Then I pulled away and leaned my brow on hers,
"I think everybody's watching us." I chuckled,
"I don't think they have much choice, we're in the middle of the sidewalk and we're still on that screen." She giggled, "And anyway, I don't care."
I smiled and she stretched up to kiss me again. This time the whole world seemed to melt away and it was just her and me in this moment. I couldn't hear all the cars and all the people, I couldn't see them either. I closed my eyes and I could feel her soft lips against mine, the warmth of her body as she hugged me, the smell of her skin, of her hair, of her.
I could feel her grinning against my mouth and she pulled away, and rummaged through her bag. I watched her confused and she pulled out her camera,
"My mom's not here to capture these lovely moments, so I guess we're going to have to do it ourselves."
I chuckled and she raised it to take a picture just as I pulled her closer to me and captured her lips again. She took it, and I carried on kissing her, deepening it this time so that I could taste the whole of her mouth, she slowly moved her arms to around my neck and stood on her tip-toes. Her hands began to mess with my hair and some people cheered so we pulled away form each other and laughed,
"Mm, I love you." She whispered, rubbing her red nose against mine. I smiled and kissed her nose, which she scrunched up and then stuck out her tongue.
"I love you too."
I took her hand so we could explore some more, she looked at the large screen still with her on it, and waved, although she didn't look entirely sure which direction she was waving in. She span around in a circle waving in every possible direction and then flung her head back as she laughed, just as the screen flickered onto some sort of advertisement.
***
"This song is actually about you." I looked over at Bella who was sitting besides me.
We'd taken our flight back from New York and now we were back in Washington State, driving back to my house. We were in my car since there was too many of us to go in one car. Alice had captured her for most of the flight home so the two of them could 'talk', making Jasper temporarily switch places with Bella. I couldn't hear much of their conversation even though they were sitting in front of me, but from time to time they would giggle loudly.
Emmett further discussed the rules of the game starting tomorrow, apparently we had to measure any noise on a scale of one to ten, after a week we had to write down the numbers we'd got and then after four weeks, add them together and see who got the highest overall score.
Alice seemed to be slightly confused and wondered why we had to use so much arithmetic but Bella explained it wasn't actually that confusing and she'd get it. Now she had her earphones plugged into her iPhone and was listening to music, other than the sounds coming from that, the car was silent.
"Who's it by?"
"Guess." She bit her lip and smiled.
She was a lot perkier now, as soon as we got back to the hotel from our outing she became quiet again. She didn't say much through the awkward goodbyes with my family. She was as polite as she could possibly be without making eye contact which I thought was funny. When my aunty announced we must all get together again soon I saw Bella's face heat up again and Alice and Emmett chuckled quietly which was nearly impossible for Emmett.
I didn't really have to think about who it was she was listening to,
"Coldplay." She grinned widely at me,
"How did you know?!" She said sarcastically, I rolled my eyes and she nudged my side, "It's 'Green Eyes'" I smiled and she closed her eyes and started singing it,
Honey you are a rock,
Upon which I stand.
And I come here to talk,
I hope you understand,
That green eyes,
Yeah the spotlight
Shines upon you.
And how could, anybody
Deny you.
I came here with a load,
And it feels so much lighter now I met you.
And honey you should know,
That I could never go on without you.
Green eyes
Honey you are the sea,
Upon which I float.
And I came here to talk,
I think you should know,
That green eyes,
You're the one that I wanted to find.
And anyone who,
Tried to deny you,
Must be out of their mind.
Because I came here with a load,
And it feels so much lighter since I met you.
Honey you should know,
That I could never go on without you .
Green eyes, green eyes,
Uh oh oh oh
Uh oh oh oh
Uh oh oh oh
Honey you are a rock, upon which I stand.
She smiled, and then open her eyes.
"I always think of you when I listen to that song." She sighed and I chuckled,
"There are many songs I listen to and think of you."
"Like what?" She questioned,
"There are so many... I'll tell you some time. You might get bored listening though."
"Ok." She giggled, and took my hand in hers, looking out of the window again, at the darkness. I smiled at our hands interlocking with each other, raised it to my mouth and kissed it, turning my eyes back to the road.
We arrived home at about the same time as everyone else did, and the once empty house was again alive with talking and laughing. Emmett was persistent with his jokes about Bella's text message. At first she got really embarrassed by it and flushed a deep red, but now she was getting pissed off.
"Do you think it'll be alright if I just stay here tonight and then go home after school tomorrow?" She asked pulling out her phone,
"Yeah, you don't have to ask."
"I know, but..." She smiled and then looked down at her phone typing in her home number.
"Oh you're going to call Charlie? Not text him? But then you wouldn't want to accidently send him a text meant for Eddie eh..." Bella narrowed her eyes and got off of the sofa, still with the phone to her ear and pulled me up the stairs.
"Never mind this scream-o-metre, we need some kind of mobile phone metre to measure the sauciness of those texts!" Emmett chuckled from the living room, Bella sighed and then told her dad that she was staying with Alice again tonight because she was really tired.
Apparently she really was tired and flung herself down on the bed when we reached my room.
"Uh, I have to have a bath, I always feel so tense after travelling." Her talking was muffled because her face was in the bed.
"I'll run one for you, love." She turned her head to look at me and smiled,
"Thank you." I went into the bathroom and turned the taps on, steam beginning to rise from the hot water.
BPOV
Ugh, I hated being cooped up in small spaces for long periods of time, or sitting for long periods of time, so I was rather enjoying lying on the end of Edwards bed, spreading out my arms and legs. Ahh, good times. And he had been so sweet to offer to run me a bath, I could smell all the nice aroma's coming in from the bathroom already.
I lay there when he came back in, "It's nearly done, just turn the water off when you want." I nodded and kissed him on the cheek as I walked passed him into the bathroom.
Edward had a really large bath tub I thought as I stripped down to just my underwear, it was one of those with all the whirlpool effects and stuff. It kinda seemed more like a hot tub than a bath tub. Definitely big enough for two then... Hey, he said when we get home he's all ours, I say we take advantage! I thought about this for a while as I unplaited my hair and then turned off the running water.
I looked at it for a while, all the bubbles frothing up. Do it, c'mon, you know you want to... I picked up a towel and wrapped it around myself and sat on the side.
"Edward?" I heard his voice almost immediately on the other side of the door,
"Yes my love? Is something wrong?"
"No..." There was quiet for a while as I decided whether I was going to say this or not, oh to hell with it! I walked over to the door and opened it. He was standing there, lovely as always, looking somewhat concerned,
"Um... I was just wondering whether... uh, you wanted to, um, join me...in the bath?" He looked a little shocked like that was the last thing he expected me to say. I blushed and looked down, awkward...
"Uh, you don't have to, I was just..." I blushed even more, yeah, maybe you shouldn't have said anything...
Edward smiled, and lifted my chin with his finger, "I would love to join you. Can you give me a second?"
I nodded and went back into the bathroom and threw him a towel, he looked at me and shook his head, his crooked smile in place.
I waited until he came in with the towel wrapped around his waist. I was sitting on the side and he came over to me and kissed my cheek before removing the towel and stepping into the water,
"Oh well it's still hot." He chuckled, I couldn't help but tilt my head and stare at his ass as he got in. Seriously, have they been sculpted or something? It looks as if someone has come up and chiselled those cheeks to perfection! Wow.
He sat down in the water and I moved over to the side of the bath tub and ran my hand through the bubbles. Edward looked up at me expectantly and I looked down at my towel. I don't know why I was feeling so self conscious now, just earlier today I wanted nothing more than for him to strip me down. But now I actually was, and put in different circumstances, I was a bit embarrassed.
I really didn't understand why though, he's already seen me naked before... suck it up! I sighed and carefully unwound the towel from around me and placed it on the side and then stepped into the water and sat between Edwards legs. He was right, the water was still quite hot. It felt nice against my skin though, the bubbles as well.
I sat back into him and shut my eyes, humming in contentment. Edward put his arms around my middle and kissed my neck, making me smile. Then his hands wandered down to my lower stomach and he began tracing circles with the tips of his fingers,
"Are you feeling less tense now?" He whispered seductively into my ear. I swear, his voice should be illegal, if I hadn't been sitting in between him, I would probably have slipped down into the water and drowned. Can that be classed as man-slaughter?
"Mhm.." Was all I could get out. I was relaxed now. There was a smell of lavender and camomile filling the room and it made me feel like there wasn't a care in the world. And then I had Edwards arms around me, ah...
"Good."
He started kissing at my neck again, sucking it a bit but not hard enough to leave a mark. I sighed in pleasure and he started moving his hands up again to my breasts and started circling my nipples. I let out a small gasp and he laughed low in his throat . The water sloshed slightly with the movement, moving the bubbles closer up my body. He'd occasionally stop to blow them away and I giggled.
I kissed his cheek and his jaw as he leant down over me to kiss my shoulder. Before long he'd kissed all along it and somehow found my lips and captured them in a deep kiss. His tongue was roaming my mouth like it was an undiscovered cave, I slid my tongue along side his and moaned quietly into his mouth.
He was gripping me tighter and I could feel his arousal in the small of my back and I could feel this kiss turning into something else, and hell was I stopping it! I turned around in the tub, which I actually had plenty of space to do, without breaking our kiss, the water splashed around me as I did. I put both my hands to his face, holding him in place as I felt our kiss becoming more urgent.
I put my legs on either side of the tops of his so I was straddling his waist and was now leaning over him, still holding his face. We pulled away for air and he put his knees up but one leg slipped and I giggled, before kissing him again. I sat back leaning on both legs briefly as he positioned himself underneath me, beneath the bubbles.
He looked up at me and I raised and then lowered myself on top of him, gasping slightly as I felt him inside me. I slowly started moving up an down upon him, my hands on his chest, but as I kept moving I slipped a bit. So after briefly giggling about this I decided on putting my hands on the side of the bath tub and Edward put his hands on my hips, guiding me.
"Oh god." I moaned. He was getting to places I didn't even think he could reach, he certainly couldn't in the missionary position anyway, hm, we'll have to try this one more often...
I picked up the pace and the water all around me started making slurping noises. I was getting the weirdest sensations, the water was swirling around and would occasionally be sucked in as I moved up and down. It was rather pleasurable though, taking in Edward and pushing out water.
Edward had his face of concentration on, he jaw tightening and he let out a few grunts. I leaned in to kiss him as I carried on bobbing up and down and he thrust upwards creating more friction,
"Edward!" I shrieked, only to have him kiss me again. I started moaning into his mouth and he into mine as our thrusts found a matching rhythm, the water well and truly slopping around everywhere.
"Bella... baby. Yes..." I could feel my walls clench down on his dick and the euphoric sensations beginning to build at the bottom of my stomach. My moans were beginning to get a bit louder but then I bit down on my lip to silence myself.
I threw my head back going all the way down on him a few more times before I felt my end was imminent, Edward was throbbing inside me,
"Mm, Edward, cum with me..." I murmured as he thrust upwards a few more times,
"Oh shit! Bella!" He groaned, shutting his eyes, biting his lip and I could feel his fingers increase their grip on my sides.
"Edward!"
Those last few pushed me off into ecstasy and I moaned out loudly and gasped as my orgasm washed through me, all whilst feeling Edward also reach his peak and erupt inside of me. I could feel myself pulsing around him as I collapsed on his chest, panting heavily, as was he.
We both shook a bit and then recovered ourselves, although I breathing was still heavy. Amazingly the water was still warm, most of the bubbles had popped and turned to a few suds.
"Mhm, I'm not tense at all anymore." I said to him, still breathless. He chuckled and put his arms around my and cuddled me to his chest. I had both arms in front of me as I cuddled into him, he had his face in my hair, kissing it and then resting his head in it.
I was beginning to feel sleepy after our amorous activity, so I closed my eyes and sighed as I leant against him, still in the warm water with the lavender and camomile and Edward drawing lazy circles on the small of my back.
I just don't like this chapter.
I don't know why, I'm just not feeling it... and it took me so long to write as well! Well, I don't dislike it, I just... ugh.
It might just be me but I felt it needed SOMETHING that wasn't there... whatever, next chapter will be better.
SO YEAH, snaps to Iadorepugs for giving me the text message idea! (By the way, I love pugs, they are so cute!) Anyway, I didn;t use it how I originally intended it too but meh, I still used it so you still get snaps ;) and you just had a great review anyway.
I'd like to say a quick something to me me me because you're not signed up as far as I know so I can't reply to your reviews, sad times, but yes: I know exactly what you mean about the whole, friends talking to you and your mind is wandering to all things fanfiction, I'm terrible! I was sitting down at this party and someone was talking to me about something but I was too busy thinking how long my next chapter was and whether I wanted to cut it down! Thank you for the review as well!
OK, so this chapter, I did like the part in Times Square (yeah I stole it from Gossip Girl, but shh, it was so sweet with Serena and that boy who's name I forget- I don't even know why she broke up with Dan, I mean what the hell, DAN IS FIT!! AND ALSO, CHACE CRAWFORD A.K.A NATE, HOLY MARY MOTHER OF GOD, IF HE IS NOT AN ANGEL THEN I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT TO BELIEVE ANYMORE!! G O R G E O U S ! ! )
...Now I've forgotten what I was saying!! Oh yeah, I thought my version was sweeter than on Gossip Girl, so ha!
Oh, mega shame for Bella and the text messaging fiasco!!! Wouldn't that be so embarrassing, I would be like OMG DIE. Pahaha, sad sad times. Sad times.
Tanya= Crazy pregnant psycho bitch, lets just leave her at that.
So blah blah blah, basically, I just had to find a way to hurry up and get them home, ALSO I had to de-steamify it from the last chapter so I cut out the teasing and other evil things I had planned to things could quieten down, SO THEN I CAN BUILD IT ALL BACK UP AGAIN HAHAHA!! So yeah, that's why it's kinda lame... can I have opnions here on this chapter because I seriously thought it was just lame, I was disappointed in myself haha! Anyone else feel this way? REVIEW!
Ok, so kidnurse123 brought it to my attention that Edward and Bella need more alone time, and then when I thought about it, that is so totally right! I mean, I didn't even notice but they get interrupted one way or another all the time! SO don't you worry, they will have their chapter, Edward can take her somewhere or something, maybe the meadow, hm...
ANYWAY, next chapter I think you will like. It should be funny... but I don't know, when you try and purposefully make things funny they're mostly lame, I don't try and make things funny, they just pan out that way. The next chapter may well just pan out that way too, we'll see. It will be probably all in Bella's point of view, that's all I'm saying.
I would just like to bring up the topic of British slang/curse words because I use them in this and I don't know if everyone knows what they mean, so I'm going to explain a few, you may know them, you may not, meh:
Wank, bollocks, bugger- basically mean the same thing, roughly the same as saying shit. Wank can also refer to men masturbating as well, so there you go...
Twat, prick, cunt, wanker, dick'ead (dick head, sounds stupid if you pronounce the 'h')- all some sort of abusive term
Also, in case you don't know what 'taking the piss' is (apparently some people don't) it's just like, making fun of..
Chuffed- if you didn't know what that means, it's the opposite of gutted, if you don't know what gutted is, then go and find a dictionary..
That's all I can think of right now, but if you don't get something, just ask :)
Ok, is it sad that I was re-reading some of this story (YES, MY OWN FREAKIN' STORY) whilst listening to some really nice songs got a bit teary-eyed? Because I think it is! I was re-reading the end of chapter 15 and some other stuff and I was like :')... hey wait, what the hell?! Ahhaahahah I am such a loser, I mean for gods sake, I wrote it... ;|
Anyway, there probably is something else I wanted to say here and I'm just forgetting... AND I'VE JUST REMEMBERED!!
I NEVER TALKED ABOUT THE TWILIGHT DVD! It's the actual love of my life right now, GO ON MTV MOVIE AWARDS AND VOTE FOR TWILIGHT IN EVERY CATEGORY IT'S IN! AND FOR ROBERT PATTINSON! AND FOR KRISTEN STEWART! THEY'RE IN THE BREAKTHROUGH ACTORS BIT FOR MEN AND WOMEN, SO GO GO GO!! I WANT ROBERT TO WIN!! AND I WANT THEM TO WIN BEST KISS, SO GO AND FREAKIN' VOTE! I ALREADY HAVE, HELL YES!
HOW. FUCKING. FUNNY. IS. ROBERT. PATTINSON. IN. THE. COMMENTARY. OH MY GOD, I WAS LAUGHING SO MUCH! HE IS SO FUNNY, IN MOST OF HIS INTERVIEWS TOO :') HAHA! SO SO FUNNY.
Catherine Hardwicke kinda scares me, like is she high? I like her though, she looks crazy! Ahah!
Ok, that's all, make sure you review, especially since my updates rely on it, I mean, I might just leave it for a week, maybe a month (Oh, by the way, In a few weeks I seriously am going to have to leave this for a month because of my exams so you really want to be getting as much out of me as possible, so appease me!)
You're all wonderful though, and I like how reviews are starting to get longer as well, not just one liners anymore! SNAPS! Ah man, I love you all, you make me happy, you fill the void in my life! HAHAHA!
OK, so thanks again you guys, much love, keep reviewing, keep reading!
MWAH MWAH
You know you love me,
XO XO
