Yay, I'm back and I did not forget to post some more! There will only be a couple, but I will start posting again tomorrow!
Chapter 28
I head for highway 41, to take us to Soldier Field. Bella doesn't ask where I'm taking her, but she does give me a strange look when I pull into the parking structure for the skybox owners.
"The game starts soon and I want to watch it with you," I tell her before I open my door. "Remember to stay put," I say before getting out. I walk around the car and open her door, giving her my hand to help her out.
I walk into the stadium with my hand resting on her back, right above the curve of her delectable ass. The entire time we're walking, I'm watching her from the corner of my eye.
"We'll need to get you geared up," I laugh lightly as I direct her to where they are selling some Bear's gear and collectables. I pick out a few things for her and pay for it.
I hand Bella the Bears t-shirt and point to the restroom. I smile leaning against the wall across from the bathroom as she gives me a cute smile and goes inside. After a few minutes, the door opens and out she walks, still smiling.
"You look amazing," I tell her as my eyes keep scanning her body. I feel myself harden, at the sight of her in my favorite football team's colors. I almost wish I was a part of the team so she could be wearing a jersey with my name and number on it. Let's face it, I could have bought a jersey for her to wear today, but the thought of another man's name on her doesn't sit well with me.
I walk her to the private box where we will be sitting.
"Is this your box or your family's?" Bella asks as she looks around the Cullen skybox.
"Mine. I mean, I bought it, but my whole family uses it. In fact—" I cut myself off, because I almost told her we actually have two private skyboxes. We, of course, have one for the Masen family as well.
As Bella sits down, I order us food and drinks before opening the lightweight blanket to lay over our legs. Even in the skybox, it can get chilly due to the strong winds of Chicago in the late fall.
We stand at the window as the teams enter the field.
"Go Bears," Bella yells loudly cheering the team on as they enter the field.
After the national anthem, I sit back in my chair. I smile as she comes back over sitting even closer than she was before.
"You fit so well in my arms," I husk out as my lips give her butterfly kisses. "Have you been to a game before?" I ask still sound husky.
"Yes," she pants a little. "Jasper, Jake, Bill, Dad and Granddad took me for the first time when I was thirteen, but we were sitting down there," Bella says pointing down at the common seats. "Good thing for you, both my father and grandfather are Bears' fans."
I chuckle and smile at her. "Of course they are Bears' fans; the Bears are the best team after all."
Bella just rolls her eyes at me.
I tickle her side and she wiggles away from me giggling.
"Say the Bears are the best team," I tell her as I straddle her to stop her from getting away.
"Nope," Bella says sounding cheerfully stubborn.
"Say it," I say again as I tickle her, while leaning more against her.
When Bella presses her lips to mine, I stop my hand movements for a few seconds. Soon my hands are back on her, under her top. Bella hums making her mouth open a little and I push my tongue inside to explore her mouth more.
When I feel the need to breathe deeper, I remove my lips from her, only to place them back onto her neck.
My hands move her top up as I lean a bit away from her. Her body follows mine. We only lose body-to-body contact when I remove her top throwing it to the seat I was sitting on. I remove my shirt and guide her and I back to the blanket on the floor.
"Fuck, baby, I fucking want to taste every part of you," I tell her sounding breathless.
I move my head down placing it in between her breasts. I pull the cups down and my mouth goes to one of her nipples as I palm the other with my hand. My other hand goes to her pants and I undo them.
The sudden eruption of loud cheers makes Bella and I both jump. My sense returns to remind me where the hell we are. My eyes scan the room and I'm relieved that the bar staff is no longer in here. It troubles me that I never noticed when they left us, which also means someone could've walked in on us.
"What's wrong?" Bella asks softly as she touches my face.
My eyes go back to hers and I hand her the shirt. "Nothing, baby, I just forgot where we were momentarily."
"Maybe, since I'm planning to stay with you tonight, we should pick this up then?"
"You can count on it," I tell her kissing her lips.
I help her get her top back on, and then up from the floor. We move back to our seats watching the rest of the game – the full time I keep my hands on her.
"What are you doing for Thanksgiving?" I ask as we walk into my apartment.
"Just the same old stuff; Jake and I make dinner, as Bill, Dad and Jasper watch whatever games are on the TV. We eat dinner after saying grace and what we're thankful for. Before I know it, Dad and Bill start talking about Jake and I getting married," Bella sighs a little.
"Sorry, honey," I say kissing her temple.
"I love them dearly, both of them, and I know deep down Bill loves Jake. It's just with the other tribe elders on his back about Jake taking over and needing a heir, it's taking a toll on him. I think it's harder because Jake made it clear he won't be a part of the tribe, because they'll not move on with the times. It's not a place he wants to be, but Bill can't get past the fact that this is what Jake was born to do." Bella chuckles a little. "Bill, himself, didn't want to take over the tribe from his grandfather, but his father was not capable. Bill even married a woman he didn't love, all in the name of duty, so he thinks Jake should, too."
"Did he fall in love with his wife?" I ask, knowing this used to be common years ago in my own Mafia family.
"No, he cared about her, and loved her as the mother of his child, but he was never in love with her." Bella looks down sadly. "He did fall in love about ten years ago, with a younger woman, but the tribe elders, prevented his marriage to her as long as he was the leader. A part of me often thinks that maybe that's why Bill's so willing to get Jake and I married so that he'll be free to marry her."
I frown a little. "So you're saying in a way Bill is putting his own feelings before that of his son?" I didn't mean for my words to come out so harsh, but this information blows me away.
"In a way yes," Bella sighs placing her hand on my face calming me. "But you have seen Jake and me together. Because of the bond they know we share, they think we would come to a compromise after the heir was born."
"Cheating?" I say feeling my eyes get wide.
"Yeah, but Jake knows that's something I could never do. Marriage vows are meant to be kept; besides, it would never work out. They know it, I know it, but they just think if they don't speak of it not happening, we will actually give in and give it a go."
I swallow, knowing that deep down if I'm truthful, I'm doing this, too. If I don't ask her about her illness, then I can pretend it's not true that she's not going to leave me.
"Come to my parents' for Thanksgiving?" I ask, as I pull her closer needing to feel her fully beside me.
A/N: On a side note I love the Chicago Bears, even when they are not so good ... But I (Kasi) was born and raised in Illinois. So what did you think of this chapter?
