ChapterTwenty Eight

"He did what!" we all exclaimed looking at Rose like she had grown to heads

"He walked out. Literally just walked out of the apartment the second I told him"

We were having a girls day in the city, Esme and Kerry included. It was nice, us girls in the city all sitting around, shopping, having lunch and planning ways to kill my douche bag of a brother.

"And you haven't herd form him?"

"It's been a week Bells, I don't need to hear form him to get the message. He wants nothing to do with me or his - my baby"

"I just can't believe he would be that much of an idiot. I mean I have known him for a long time, but this? This isn't him"

"Look, Bells, I know how much you love your brother, but I have to make a decision about this, and I'm not sure what to do because he's not answering his god damned cell. Now I could really use some girl time now"

"I know, I know, I'm sorry. Congratulations though, you're making me an auntie"

"Might be making you an Aunt, I don;t know yet. This isn't a good time, I'm nineteen for heavens sake, I have a career to build. And now a family to raise? Can you believe the price of all the baby stuff I am going to need?"

"You know what I can't believe" Alice piped in, tactfully changing the subject "Is that Edward actually let you out of the house" she chuckled, making the rest of us giggle along.

"My son is a lot of things, including protective. Really, I would be worried if he wasn't insisting Bells stay at home" Esme smiled reassuringly, squeezing my hand under the table "you have him wrapped around your little finger my darling. You ave him running errands, and doing the food shopping which is amazing. Just always remember that he's doing all this crazy/ over-protective stuff because he is so head over heels in love with you"

"I know he is mum. It's just I feel like my life isn't my own any more. Edward and Dad check in every hour or so, Jasper two sometimes if Edward can't make it to the phone. This is not how I imagined my New York Life would be like."

We haven't had another 'threat' as of yet., but Edward is not taking any chances. I mean, it's been a week since those pictures had been delivered, which I didn't count as much of a threat. I mean, they were pictures. Of me, some in compromising positions, but there is not a lot we can do about them now is there? We don't even know whose been taking them, so how do we know if there is really a threat?

And how do we even know if I am really the target? Maybe this creep is going to a lot of trouble to create a distraction. And then when we are all distracted, then he attacks someone completely different. Maybe Alice, maybe even Rose. Maybe he's really trying to get dirt on Edward to sell off to magazines. All weak arguments I know.

But there is one thing I can tell you, and that is if you ever voice these opinions to Edward then he will go ballistic and shut down each one of them. Well sorry if I think that all this is unnecessary. I'm sorry that I think I'm on house arrest – though I have to admit Ma' and Pa's Westchester estate is amazing. I even have my own wing – but I don't like people going to all this trouble over a couple of pictures.

I flat out refused Edwards request to stay in today. We got into another argument again over this, which was Edward naming all the reasons I was so important to him and me just saying that I was not going to give up a life for this creep. which was practically my only argument.

But let me tell you, with all this fighting, I have learned one thing. Make up Sex is HOT. Make up sex with Edward? Beyond hot.

I love that man, there is no doubt about it, but he can get so possessive over me that it can get annoying. Mom said when I talked to her about it that he was just like his father when he was that age. Protective over the things he truly loves.

But I don't know how everything is going to work next week.

I'm starting Classes at Columbia – something that some dumb stupid paparazzi guy is not going to take a way from me – but that means I'm going to have to go back into the city so I get get to my early morning classes. And Edward isn't happy about it because someone I know isn't going to be with me 24/7.

Even Emmett agreed with him on this one.

Emmett hasn't exactly been talking to anyone in over a week. He shows up at training – according to the guys – doesn't talk to anyone, pushes himself the hardest he can, the gets out of there as quick as he can. I am so close to knocking down his door if it wasn't for the occasional text he sends me telling me he's all right.

I've even taken sending food with Edward to give to Emmett to make sure he's eating right. Knowing him, he would probably be living on Take-out food.

But I am worried about him. I'm worried about everything constantly. I can't even switch it off at night which is really annoying. Curled up in Edwards arms and all I can think about is how this huge creep is driving us all apart.

At least I am closer to Jasper now. It's like having another brother who looks out for me and cares for me when my older bro is going through an emotional crisis. I've even gone running with him on several mornings through central park, talking about Alice with him, and what eh should get her for Christmas. It's a few mouths away and he's already stressing about the perfect gift. He is so sweet. He also has the ability to calm me down after Edward and I have had a fight and we haven't had time to say I'm sorry to each other.

And my girls. I have no idea what I would do without my girls. Like today for example. This was exactly what I needed. And theirs five of us. Who would take on five pissed off women who are all wearing killer heels? Don't ask, just know there was a certain amount of force used.

"Nothing goes as planned honey, trust me I am the poster child for that campaign" Kerry laughed, lifting the mood a little "now just remember this, you may not be able to control every single situation out there, but you on control your reaction to it."

"Mom-" Alice complained but Kerry just butted in

"Chick pea, you listen to me. If I was in your fabulous shoes, you know what I would do?"

"No, what?"

"I would give him a picture to take" she winked at us, throwing down a couple of notes then grabbing her shopping bags and making her way out of the café, the rest of us following behind.

EPOV

Another stressful practice, with Coach having us run drills until we were dead. Well almost all of us. Emmett was the only one still able to walk away.

He wasn't talking to any of us which was so unlike him. No jokes,not even the hint of a smile. None of us knew what was happening with him so we all just stayed out of it. Gave him his space. The only time I approached him was to give him the food Bells made.

"Bella?" I called through the house, hoping she would be home safe and sound after her shopping trip with the girls. You know when some thing's wrong when Bella agrees to go shopping with even a hesitation.

"In here" I herd her voice coming from the bedroom. I walked in to find she had lit several candles around, filling the room with Lavender and vanilla calming me down as I came in.

"What is this?" I asked, climbing on the king sized bed, where she was sitting in the middle looking as cute as ever in yoga pants and one of my tops that was way too big for her, her hair tied back into a messy bun

"Well, I got one very interesting message today from a certain blonde haired, blue eyed man who said that you were both practically dead men walking. So big boy, how would you like a rub down?" she winked, grabbing some oil from the night stand

"Oh thank you Jasper" I breathed out, practically ripping off my clothes till I was only in my boxers and laying face down in on the bed.

"So baby, where does it hurt?"

"Everywhere" I groaned out as she straddled me

She laughed at that. I haven't herd her laugh in a long time. Her hands felt like heaven, rubbing the aching points of my back with just the right amount of pressure making me groan under her touch

"Feeling good baby?" she asked after about half an hour. I was feeling more then good. I was Hot and I wasn't even afraid to admit it. By this time I had turned onto my front, so my aching cock was more then noticeable. But then we both weren't surprise, just her touch was enough to set me off sometimes. And half an hour of her touching me, I was ready to explode

"Good, because I have one more surprise for you"

Shaking her hair out so it fell down in sexy waves, she took off her yoga pants without difficulty, still not showing anything I wanted to see as my shirt was covering the rest up and she just slapped my hands away every time I went to touch her.

Smiling innocently she started to slowly peal away my top. Leaving her in the sexiest lingerie I have ever seen.

"We might have made several stops today at some stores you would defiantly like"

"But baby, what's all this for?" was I really asking this question now? Really? My cock is straining to get out of it's confines and bury it's self in her sweet little pussy and I am asking why!

"To say I'm sorry" she whispered, supporting herself on my abs so her hair flowed down creating a wall around us

"baby, you have nothing to be sorry for"

"yes I do. I'm sorry for fighting with you over everything. I know you're only this way because you love me"

"And because you are the most important thing in my life now Isabella"

"same goes for you two. And I don't want to keep fighting with you, no matter how hot Make up sex is" I groaned as her right hand travelled down, wrapping around my cock through my boxers

"I love you Bella"

"I love you two Edward. Now show me how much"
