"Just breathe." Edward soothed me, rubbing my arm.
"Don't tell me to breathe, I know how to breathe you idiot, just ring the damn doorbell." I snapped at him, and he reached forward pressing the bell, making a ding dong nice reverberate on the inside. The sound of fast oncoming heels, made my heart jump a bit.
I've never had to do this before. Meeting somebodys parents, whether it be a boy or a girl. I should have done some research or did I even agree to this?
I should have just said no. I could have spent the day relaxing, in bed with Edward, or maybe against the wall with Edward, or on the floor with Edward...
The door yanks open and I blink in surprise from the hard intrusion of light from the inside. How are they not blind, it's like opening the door, to the gates of heaven. I can already see the could carvings of wood and pristine floor. How fucking high do you need a ceiling to be. Its as high as the warehouse roof, and I can already see the balcony leading to the second floor.
"You must be Bella , please come in," The woman greets.
I try to see the Edward in her. There eyes are similar in colour, but Edwards are more vibrant and his mother's seem more teal. She seems very friendly and loving, which give her the overall motherly vibe. Her welcoming smile, makes me a little uncomfortable, but I move inside with a smile anyway.
They live in a fucking mansion. this place must have been built and designed for a fucking king to live in. No just the size but the interior was something you wouldn't get at a furniture depo. This stuff looked personality made.
"Would you like something to eat, Bella?" His mother asks. Does she have super hearing? Can she hear my stomach crying out for some food.
"I'm going to take Bella on a tour actually," Edward says, and I raise an eyebrow at him. Before his mother can nod I quietly butt in.
"But some food would be perfect. I'm starving." I complain, making his mums smile widen. All I want is food, theres no need for her to be so happy about me eating.
"That's settled then, you will eat then you can give Bella a tour of the house." The woman says, and she begins to walk so I follow her lead.
The kitchen was, of course huge and grand. There was even a kitchen table that could fit ten people. Now let me tell you, my mouth watered at the sight of the table covering in nibble. Various sandwiches, little sausages, crackers, crisps...chocolates. I've died and gone to heaven in Edwards kitchen. Food, food and more glorious food, filled my vision and I immediately grabbed a chicken sandwich, biting into it.
"Oh, Bella, here use a plate, and heres a napkin." His mother said quickly handing me what looked like a expensive china plate.
Knowing this I set it down on the table and began to load up on stock. I could always go in for seconds anyway.
"Your going to eat all of that?" Edward whispered in my ear, as he stood behind me. I piled it up even more, and I turned seeing Edward face full of hidden humour.
"I'm gonna try and eat the whole table."I mumble under my breath, then took my seat. Edward stayed behind me,and his mum, walked off somewhere. Maybe she was giving us privacy. I don't know. All I know is there is food to eat.
"You dont have to eat this just to impress her you know." He pointed out and I snorted, putting three sausages in my mouth, and chewing on them.
"Please, I'm not trying to impress anyone. I'm hungry as hell."I complain, nibbling on another sandwich.
Indeed I was hungry. I was three plates full of food, by the time my stomach protested against me from eating anymore. The chocolate was gone as well at the little sausages. I felt like this could last me until later tonight. Hmm... I wonder if I could get some kind of box to take some left overs with me, I wondered.
"Right, come on tour." Edward jumped up, ready to grab my arm and yank me to my feet aswell.
"Whoa, I just ate let me digest my food at least."I laughed at his impatience.
"I just sat there for an hour, watching you eat. My turn to give you a tour, befor emy sister steals you away. We only have two hours." He proclaimed, beggin me with his eyes, to stand up.
"Two hours is enough time,"I point out.
"I want to show you the pool,"He winked.
"I've just ate I can't swim for half an hour-"
"Bella, please."He begged his puppy dog eyes, ineffective on me, but I caved, standing and feeling the new weight of all the food I ate. I would definitely get cramp if i swam right now.
Edwards hand, wrapped around my hand, his finger easily lacing together between mine, and he lead me down the corridor, past about five different rooms, until he opened one. I must say even just the door, stunned me. White Wood with golden carvings for a farme. I shook my head, at the amazement until the door was opened and I was in awe all over again,as my jaw dropped.
You know in movies, when you see that grand inside pool, with a skylight, refelting the moon and stars on the water. that is what this place look like, only with no moon or stars and instead it was lit by the lights on the wall.
The titles were all white, with the edge of the pool a gold colour, and I could see that the bottom of the pool was gold aswell giving the blue a teal type of glow. There was a definite theme going on through this house, but this room was by far my favourite.
It was beyond dream worthy. I was rooted in place by awe of the sight infront of me. I was brought up in an environment where things like this would not even be possible. I mean I lived in a fucking abandoned warehouse for godsake, I never once thought that I would go to a swimming pool, not like this one.
"Its beautiful isn't it?" Edward, says, resting his head on my shoulder, as he wraps his arms around my waist.
"Its fucking amazing."I said, my mind and eyes still drinking in the beauty of the pool.
"Its a shame you have to go on a eating feast, now you won't be able to join me in the pool," Edward smirks, peeling his top over his head. My eyes flickered straight to his abs, tracing over the pattern of the tattoos coating his arms and the tribal tattoo carling down from his chest to his hipbone.
He smirked, popping open his jean button, and sliding them down so he was just in his boxers. He grinned like a little kid before running the short distance, and cannon balling into the pool. I leaned away from the water as it splashed at me, making my cloths slightly wet.
"I thought we were here to meet your mum and sister?" I asked, moving around the outer edge of the pool, as Edward flicked his wet hair back from his looked even longer wet, like he could put it all into a ponytail, now that would be a funny sight.
"Mums more likely cleaning and Alice is coming home soon, so why not show you my sanctuary." He grinned, opening his arms wide. I raised my lip, nodding as he continued to grin like a happy child.
"Why is it your sanctuary?"I questioned, walking over to the edge of the pool. Edward was near the middle, so at least I knew he couldn't pull me in.
"Well, swimming relaxes me, helps me think properly, and when I lived here I had a lot of frustrations, and I would take it out by swimming." He pointed out. It made sense, a lot of people exercise to get there anger out, I take the approach of getting some unnatural substances in my body.
"You should come in you know, it's nice and warm," He tempted wiggling his toes, then falling under the water after he lost his balance. I laughed, watching him rush to the surface, sputtering and shaking his head with water coming off him in every direction.
"If I get cramp how will I know you will save me?"I ask, walking along the edge of the pool, watching my feet closely.
"Pfft, would I really let you drown Bella." He said, in a matter of fact way.
"Maybe."I shrug, though I knew deep down he wouldn't let me drown.
"Come on, just get in," He chuckled, leaning back so he was floating on his back. "Strip for me baby," He shouted, his following laughter bouncing off the walls.
It was definitely a offer no lady could turn down. a grand pool, and a hunk of a man to accompany you in it. You would have to be braindead to turn down such an offer.
I gripped my tp, pulling it over my head, and dumping it down next to Edward's clothes. The rest of my clothing followed along, and I hid my phone under all the clothes, for extra protection. I turned back to him, my turquoise underwear my replacement for a swimsuit.
Edward grinned, gesturing with his finger for me to come into the pool. I looked down at the water, swallowing down a lump of nerves from my throat. The water rippled, tempting me, so slowly I lowered myself into a sitting position, letting my legs sink into the water.I pushed myself in, feeling the force of the water surround me.
I walked over to Edward, my heart pulsing to try and not fall. The water was just below my shoulders, reaching Edwards elbows. It was harder than walking in the lake, that had no floor, it was too deep, but this, I kept feeling like I was going to fall, and to be honest it scared me.
"I'm glad you could join me,"Edward grinned, pulling me into his arms, making me feel safe and secure again. He leaned down giving my cheek a cheek peck, before ghosting his lips across my face to meet my own.
It was a soft touch, juts his lips, gently pressing onto mine, before he pulled me in deeper, making our lips press and move harder tighter, setting a small fire within me. How long would this feeling last with Edward? When will it go and I move on from him, onto another guy, or just being alone again?
When would he see that he has go everything he needs here and I'm just dragging him down into a life of a criminal?
I pulled back, the guilt washing over me.
"What? What's wrong?"Edward breathed, trying to look into my eyes, but I looked down at the water in between our bodies.
"Nothing. Just..."I took a quick breath. "Nothing." I finished, putting on a smile, as I leaned up and gave his lips a small peck.
He didnt look convinced but smiled.I guess he just didnt want to push me, and I appreciated that. He stood taller, his size making him loom over me, and I raised a eyebrow watching him take a step towards me, his eyes turning darker.I took a step back, worried that I would fall under the water.
"What are you doing?" I chuckled, as he continued to stalker toward me, both of us taking careful steps.
"Nothing."He said, watching me with those green eyes hidden behind lashes, taunted me. I carried on walking, the only reason my heart pumped was from the fear of drowning that loomed in the back of mind.
"You don't scare me." I pointed out, he smirked.
"Oh really?" He teased, then my fear happened, just not quite how I expected it.
Edward arms wrapped around me encaging me as he jumped and we were both pulled down under the water.
It filled my ears, stung my eyes, and filled my mouth as I tried to scream under the water. It was everywhere the force coming from every direction, pulling me down, wanting me to stay under the water. Then it was like the force was pushed away, and everything came back to my ears.
I gasped, coughing a splutter, trying to catch my breath, as Edward hung onto me.
"Bella! Are you okay?" He asked panicked, as I choked for air, gasping and my eyes watering from the shock of the whole situation. I could feel my muscles tensing as I shook from fear and shock. Worse than any dream I've had. I felt it.
"Fuck, Bella, I'm so sorry." Edward panicked, pulling my body over carefully to the edge and he hoisted me up, and I was happy to be out of the water. I think I must have swallowed the water when I screamed.
The back of my throat felt red raw, and I couldn't stop coughing and spluttering. It was a nightmare. I leaned on my side, coughing and feeling my body reflux as a trail of cool water dripped out of my mouth. Edward clung to my side rubbing my back, and helping more water to come out as I coughed.
"Fuck! Fuck, I'm so fucking sorry." He told me, his words rushing out in a panic, and his feet pattered quickly across the tiled floor. I'm surprised he didnt fall with how fast he was running.
When he came back I felt a softness wrap around me, as Edward helped me to my feet. A towel.I couldn't even feel the cold, the adrenaline and fear was keeping every fiber in my body locked in place. All I could down, was move along with Edward as he lead me out of the pool.
"I forgot about the lake." He said, leading me up the stairs, our dripping bodies leaving a trail on the floor.
That word lake, sent a shiver down my spine, and Edward wrapped the towel around me closer. We walked down the hall, entering some room with darkness everywhere. Black, black and black covered every surface.
Edward rushed, sitting me down on the bed, and rushing into his wardrobe for some clothes. I close my eyes, feeling the soreness in them. No black dots tough this time, just itchy pain.
I need to calm down...get my head straight. Edward looks like hes about to have a heart attack with how much he is panicking. I too a painful deep breath, then tried to breath through my nose instead. Either way, it was uncomfortable to breathe.
"Edward,"I say, my voice coming out softer and more croker then usually. He turned at once, rushing back to my side.
"Bella, fuck im sorry-" He began as he took my hand but I stopped him.
"Don't I'm just still not over the whole...lake thing. I should have told you before hand."I mumble, and Edward stood up, to sit next to me so he could pull me onto his damp chest.
"I completely forgot. I'm sorry, I was just too excited. Then I go and fuck up by doing that. Fuck Bella, I'm-"
"I know Edward, its fine."I cough, and Edward wraps his arms around me tighter.
"I'm such a fucking dick,"He muttered, under his breath.
"That you are,"I agreed. "But at least you didn't let me drown." I joked, but Edward didn't laugh at all.
