I Own Nothing
The night progressed as did my frustration at not being able to touch Edward, and the whole 'he can touch me' bit, while satisfying, was getting old rather quickly. As we danced my fingers yearned to lace with his, as we passed girls with wandering eyes I wished I could pull him into my arms and show them he was mine. Not being able to do this left me feeling quite sad by the end of the night, how I would make it through the week was beyond me.
"Dinner with Charlie, huh." Edward commented as we all walked out of the club together.
"Yep, me, you, and Charlie. It'll be a barrel of laughs." I commented sarcastically. Edward laughed and tightened his grip around my waist.
"Well it will be for us!" Emmett said smiling.
"Come on Em, leave the poor girl alone, she's been tortured enough for the night, and I suspect it'll only get worse over the next week." Rosalie said coming to my defense, albeit in a way that made me feel even worse, but at least it got Emmett to leave me alone. We all walked back to our cars, the seating arrangement being slightly different for the ride home. Emmett, Edward, and Alice in Emmett's Jeep, while Rosalie, Jasper, and I piled into Rosalie's convertible. But not of course before saying our somewhat prolonged goodbyes.
"I love you." I said, and Edward gently brushed back a piece of my hair that had fallen into my eyes.
"I love you too." He said, in a way that made the butterflies in my stomach flutter and my heart skip a beat.
"Leave the window unlocked?" I asked,
"Of course." He said softly, kissing my forehead before helping me into the car and shutting the door.
The ride back was uneventful, Jasper, Rosalie, and I talked about menial things. Our plans for the week, what had happened on random tv shows in the past week, our favorite books, and things like that. But most of it was just to keep Rosalie engaged as she drove, knowing that if she was as tired as I was, then it wouldn't be in our best interest to let her space out.
We finally reached my house just minutes before the curfew Charlie had set in place. I carefully buttoned my sweater before saying goodnight and getting out. Charlie was upstairs when I walked through the door. I could hear the TV on, but had a feeling he was sleeping. I slipped off my shoes and climbed the stairs. Sure enough he was asleep, shoes still on and the tv playing the Jetsons. It was a laughable scene.
"Dad." I said, shaking his shoulder lightly.
"Hmmm?" He hummed incoherently.
"Dad, I'm home. It's time for bed." At this he opened his eyes.
"Oh, hey Bells. Did you have fun?"
"Yeah, it was a blast. I'm heading off to bed, as should you."
"Ah, leave your old man alone." He said with a smile as he got up and stretched.
"I will once you go to bed." I said with a laugh.
"Alright. Night Bells."
"Night dad." I said before heading back downstairs. All of the lights were off, I flicked them back on as I traveled to my room to unlock the window before heading to the bathroom, for a shower. Once I was all clean I threw on my pjs, which consisted of an oversized shirt and a pair of short shorts.
"I forgot about this guy." I bit back a scream. Edward was lying on his back in my bed, staring at Fried Dough, who was currently placed on his chest.
"Are you trying to give me a heart attack?" I asked still gasping a little.
"Maybe." He said with a smile, looking over at me.
"Well if that's the case, then give me back my stuffed animal." I said as I went over to the bed and tried to snatch Fried Dough off his chest.
"If I recall correctly, I won this.'' He said, holding the stuffed puppy above his head so it was just out of my reach.
"Edward Anthony Masen Cullen give him back right now." I ordered as I attempted to lunge after him.
"Nope, no hands." He grinned.
"Fine, no hands." I said narrowing my eyes. Then I climbed on top of him, straddling his waist, and by carefully placing my hand above his shoulder onto the bed, I was able to reach Fried Dough and pull it out of his hands. I looked back down at him, his eyes were somewhat glazed over and I realized the position we were in.
"Ha, I win." I whispered.
"Is it cheating if I kiss you?" He asked looking up at me. I could only nod, but he still leaned forward anyway, pressing a soft kiss on the top of my neck, just below the corner of my jaw. Unwittingly at the feel of his lips, my entire body went slack, causing us to grind together. We both moaned at the sensation, I did it again, with more force and purpose.
"Ung, Bella, stop." He mumbled against the skin of my neck as his hands went to hips to keep me from moving. Yet they deviated from there original purpose when they began to skim down the front of my thighs, only to trail up the back, massaging slowly as they went.
"Edward, it's not, it's not fair." I said brokenly as he nipped at my neck.
"I think you said that already." He said slowly and I could feel him smile against my skin.
"Nothing's changed." I reminded him, leaning into him so I was completely on top of him, chest to chest, face to face, our lips mere inches apart.
"Bella, don't move." He said hoarsely.
"Why?" I breathed, unable to tear my eyes from his lips
"Because if you do I may not be in complete control of my actions." He said.
"You say that like it's a bad thing." I was still incapable of looking anywhere other than his soft lips. All of a sudden I was being rolled onto my back, Edward was laying next to me still, we were both breathing heavily.
"I think it's time we get to bed." He said.
"Uh-hun." I gasped nodding. He sat up and pulled off his shirt as always,
"Um Edward?" I asked shyly.
"Yes?" He asked turning to me.
"Would you mine keeping your shirt on, this task is impossible as it is. I don't really need more temptation." To this he laughed before throwing his shirt back on and snuggling under the covers with me.

Edward arrived the next day at exactly one minute before seven.
"Hi." I said as I ushered him inside.
"Hi to you too." He said before kissing me lightly on the forehead.
"Ready?" He asked softly.
"I'm not really going to answer that." I said with a chuckle.
"Hello, Edward." Charlie said politely as we entered the dining room where he was sitting at the table.
"Hello, Charlie." Edward said shaking Charlie's extended hand.
"So Bells, what's for dinner?" Charlie asked me.
"Chicken Parmesan and pasta with tomato sauce. It'll be ready in twenty minutes."
"Perfect, games over in fifteen." Charlie said exiting the room to the living room, having moved the tv downstairs,
"Care to join me Edward?" He called from the other room. Edward looked down at me raising an eyebrow and smiling.
"Sure, who's playing?" He asked as he joined Charlie. I smiled to myself before turning back to the kitchen to finish dinner. I was just putting in the pasta when the phone rang.
"I'll get it!" I called reaching for the phone.
"Oh yeah, Bella your mom called!" Charlie said, as if reminded by the phone ringing.
"Thanks!" I responded, clicking the phone on and bringing it to my ear.
"Hello?"
"Bella!" Renee exclaimed into the phone.
"Hey Mom. Why is it you always call when I'm cooking, more specifically, cooking pasta?" I laughed into the phone
"Well, I've been trying to get hold of you for a while." She said.
"I know, Dad just told me. So what's up?"
"Just checking in, how have you been? How's, um, what was his name again?" She asked eagerly.
"I'm fine. Things are great over here, and Edward."
"Edward, right. I knew that." She said, and I could just see her waving her hand, brushing off her forgetfulness.
"So, how is he?"
"He is fine, he's in the living room with Charlie right now." I said, the smile spreading over my own face. I had to pull the phone away at her shriek, giggling to myself.
"And how long has this been going on?"
"About a month." I said sheepishly.
"Isabella Marie Swan! Why did you not call me?" She asked with mock outrage. I laughed.
"Sorry Mom."
"That's fine, it being your first boyfriend and all. But we will be having a talk." She said seriously
"Not another one, I had one with Charlie and believe me, that was enough to put me off sex for life." I said as I stirred the pasta.
"Oh dear I can only imagine how awkward that was. I'm sorry, next time you have to have the sex talk, you can do it with me, okay?" She said with a sympathetic laugh.
"Thanks mom."
"No problem sweetie. Now aside from Edward, made any friends?" She asked.
"Yeah, his sister Alice, who you would love, and Emmett, their older brother. Also the neighbors Jasper and Rosalie, who are friends with all of them."
"What's this Alice like?" She asked.
"She is about five feet with jet black short hair and is essentially a pixie. She loves to go shopping and has actually managed to get me to wear heels."
"Thank God, oh, Bella I'm so proud." She laughed.
"Mom!" I groaned.
"I'm sorry, go on."
"She loves to shop, possibly more than you, although she just made a bet where she can't shop for the next month." I explained.
"Bella, I would be there as a friend for that girl over the next month, because if she is anything like what you say, she'll be hurting by the end." My mother said cautiously. I laughed.
"Trust me mom, I know." I said as the timer for the chicken went off.
"And how have you been?" I asked her.
"Fine, Phil and I are going out to dinner tonight, but other than that, absolutely nothing."
"Sounds like fun." I teased.
"It is rather fun actually, well, at least I enjoy it. Now, I'll let you get back to your dinner. Tell Edward I said hi."
"Mom he doesn't even know you." I said rolling my eyes.
"Yes, well, I'm just being polite aren't I? And tell your father I said hi as well."
"Will do mom, I love you."
"Love you too." And then we hung up. While waiting for the pasta to finish cooking I set the table, placing Charlie across from Edward and I. Once the food was on the table I called them both in for dinner.
"Who was on the phone?" Charlie asked as he scooped some pasta onto his plate.
"Just Mom." I answered passing Edward the chicken.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome. She says 'Hi' to both of you by the way." I said, scooping myself some pasta before having chicken.
"Edward, what are you plans for the future?" Charlie asked bluntly, jumping right into the interrogation.
"Well, I would like to be a doctor like my father. I plan on going to school then after I graduate finding a steady career, and hopefully get married and have kids."
"Interesting, any ideas on girl or boy?" Charlie asked genuinely curious. I saw him smile, I mashed my lips together to hide my own smile.
"A boy and a girl."
"Nice, now do you have any idea on where you'd like to live?"
"Preferably here, or in Chicago where I grew up." Edward answered truthfully.
"Quite respectable, I'm sure your parents are extremely proud." Charlie complimented.
"I like to think so." The rest of the dinner continued peacefully, Charlie told a few funny stories about his job, and a couple about me as a child which I could have done without. We finished dinner and enjoyed coffee in the living room until Edward had to leave.
"Before I go Esme and Carlisle would like me to invite you both to our house on the Fourth of July for dinner and fireworks." He said as he pulled on his coat.
"That sounds great, tell your parents we said thank you. I'm sure Bella will be able to get the details." He said gesturing to me.
"Yes of course." I said.
"Now, I'll let you two say good night. It was nice having you over Edward." Charlie said, once again holding out a hand.
"Thank you for having me." Edward said shaking his hand.
"You're welcome." Charlie said before heading upstairs. Edward placed a soft kiss on my forehead,
"I'll be back when he's asleep." He whispered.
"Yes, because that worked so well the last time." I said with a laugh before he pulled me into a hug.
