Chapter Thirty-seven: Uninvited Guests
AN: Sorry this one took so long to get out, I was busy. Hope it's all to your satisfaction. Thanks for the reviews on the last chapter. I didn't think it was that good. Well except maybe the shower scene.

When I woke up my back was killing me. Moving away from Edward I stood up and the pain was far worse. Lying down on the floor with knees bent I tried to press my back into it. Why did my back hurt like this?
Feeling warmth between my legs I groaned. Shit! I knew it was coming, but why today? My first week of school was starting tomorrow too, that was going to suck.
What should I do now? I didn't have any underwear or anything else I needed in this room. I knew I should have gone back to my dorm, shouldn't have let Edward talk me into staying. I was just too tired to make it. This was embarrassing.
Great… Now I was going to have to wake Edward up and ask him where Jasper's room was. That wouldn't go over really well, but I knew that's where Alice would be and I needed her.
No need to panic yet I decided to go to the bathroom to check. Make sure this is what it really was. Walking in I saw on the counter clothes for me as well as a box of tampons and Advil with a note on top in big bubble letters. 'I took the liberty of looking at your birth control pills when I packed them for the trip. I thought you might need this. Oh and you're welcome. Love, Alice.' Instead of angry at the invasion of privacy I was relieved. I got dressed and walked back to the bed and laid down on my back, with my knees bent.
I must've fallen asleep again for a few minutes because when I woke up Edward was on one elbow staring at me. I felt self-conscious. Why was he looking at me like that?
"Bella, why are you dressed when I'm not?" He asked me. Damn, I didn't want to explain this now. I wasn't entirely comfortable enough with him to tell him.
Instead I said "Um, Edward I think I need to sleep in my own bed this week. It's the first week of school and I want to get used to my schedule." I could see by his face that he caught on to what I wasn't saying.
Edward sat up and looking down without looking at me said "You don't have too. You can stay here."
Uncomfortable, I said "Uh… I don't think you'll want me too."
He looked at my face then and his turned as red as I know mine does. I've never seen him embarrassed about anything. If he was going to be a doctor he'd have to get over this part of life soon. What he said though surprised me. "Bella… I… I…" he stuttered first, and then taking a deep breath said "I already knew this was coming. Alice told me to look at your pills when you were acting so… crazy… the other day. She was sure that wasn't helping your mood." Alice! Did she interfere in everything?
I wanted to snap at the two of them for snooping, but reined it in. "Edward could you please put some clothes on? It's too hard to try to talk you like this." I said to him.
He shrugged smiling at me and said "Okay." I watched as he got up and went to the closet. My god, he was gorgeous. Well it seemed my hormones were still working. If he still wanted me I wouldn't say no, not even right now.
I recalled something from our sleep earlier; I thought he told me he loved me. Surely I dreamt that. Guys just don't fall in love that fast, not like girls do. It would be nice if I could tell him that I loved him too.
Coming back to me he sat down beside me and pulled me into his lap kissing my neck. He rubbed small circles into my lower back that felt wonderful. Edward kissed my lips gently sucking on the lower one. I moaned deeply and pulled his head closer to mine by putting my hands in his unruly hair.
The door slamming against the wall made me jump up and off of Edward. Alice was standing there grinning at us with a wide smile.
"What the hell, Alice?" Edward hissed dangerously at her.
"Well the hell is some girl is downstairs looking for you. I think you need to send her on her way." Alice told him as she winked at me. What was she up too? I knew it was something.
"We could've still been undressed, don't you ever knock?" Edward asked her in a huff.
"Don't you ever lock your door? That's what it's there for." She retorted. "Besides I knew you'd be dressed. I'm Alice, I know everything." She said haughtily, pointing at herself. I laughed at her.
"Who is downstairs, Alice? Can't you just tell them to go away? That I have a girlfriend now?" Edward fired off at her.
"This one is persistent. I think you need to do it yourself." Alice told him. Edward grumbled something about annoying sisters and walked out the door and down the stairs.
"Now Bella, I want you to follow me and do exactly as I say. This girl is a compulsive liar, so there is no telling what she'll say to you once she finds out." Alice told me as she snuck downstairs with me behind her.
I could hear talking near the front door "No Victoria, I have a girlfriend now. You'll just have to find another fuck buddy."
"You don't have to tell her, we could still have a good time together." I heard a woman say, almost pleading. She sounded pathetic and desperate.
"I said no. I won't hurt her over something like that. Sex with her is better for me than with anyone else." Edward told her. I got the feeling he wanted to say something else to her, but didn't because he could feel us behind him.
Alice put her finger to her lips and had me follow her to the kitchen. Once there she said "Okay Bella, I want you to go out the back door and come back around like you are just getting here. Act like you don't know anything about this girl." Confused, I did as she asked.
Walking around to the front of the house I walked down the sidewalk nonchalantly. I heard the door slam in the girl's face and looked up. I had to compete with that? She was gorgeous with red hair. She looked vibrant when I just looked pale.
When the door slammed I saw her turn with an angry expression, instantly changing to one of satisfaction as she saw me coming up the walkway. "Hey, if you are here for Edward, I'm afraid you'll just have to wait a while. We just had a great time together. He is fun to fuck, isn't he? I hope his girlfriend doesn't find out he's still fucking other girls. She'll be pissed. Go inside, he's worth the wait, right?" I watched with a gaping mouth as she staggered away from me like she'd been ridden hard. I was certain she knew who she was talking too.
What the hell? If I hadn't known better I would've been completely crushed by her. Now I knew why Alice wanted me to see this for myself. That would've ended our relationship effectively after what Jake did to me.
Shaking, I was furious. If that girl came near us again I knew I'd probably attack her. Note to self, never believe the red-headed woman or anyone she was friend's with, ever.
Walking back into the house I saw Edward's surprised face when I nearly hit him with the door. Alice came into the hall snickering. "That was priceless."
"Edward why did you ever get involved with someone like that? Tell me, I want to know." Alice demanded of him at the same time poking him.
He narrowed his eyes at her and said "I just fucked em, I rarely even asked for a name." Great… I knew he was a man-whore, but jeez. I had to get away from him right now. For someone who is supposedly intelligent he seemed to put his foot in his mouth often. Shaking my head I turned from both of them and walked into the living room.
Everyone else was there and to my pleasant surprise Ben and Angela were on the couch as well. Needing some calm in my life I sat next to Angela and laid my head on her shoulder. She put her arm around me and whispered "Are you alright? We could hear that awful girl outside."
"Yeah I'm fine. I knew what I was getting myself into. I just didn't expect someone to be so vindictive as to tell a complete lie like that." I told her, upset.
"Bella, some girls are like that, just like some guys are. Especially when it's something they want and can't have. Edward loves you, we all know it, can see it. I'm not sure you do because you didn't know him before." Angela said her voice in a soothing tone. Calming my heart I stayed next to her.
When I sat straight up again Edward was on the other side of me and both him and Alice had hurt looks on their faces. My god, were they jealous that I went to someone else besides them? I needed friends too, just like everyone else. They weren't the only ones.
Hearing the doorbell again Edward got up to answer it as nearly all of us groaned. I didn't want to see who this new girl would be. Why did all these girls know where he lived? I wouldn't have thought he'd want them to know, but then again maybe it just made it easier. They came to him. He didn't have to seek them out.
I was surprised by a male voice coming from the other side of the door. What the fuck? Mike Newton. Here? What the hell was he doing here?
"Hey, is Bella here?" I heard Mike ask Edward as though he was asking me to come out and play.
"What's it to you?" I heard Edward's angry reply. Mike could not have come at a worse time. Edward was still mad at that girl and probably me as well.
Then I heard Mike talking to Edward saying something to him about me not being as innocent as I seemed. I was going to kill Mike, he would pay for this. I heard him tell Edward that we had been intimate when we were younger. I snorted at that. "Mike, I know you didn't have sex with her because I was her first and I've been with her almost every second since." I heard Edward tell him, getting angrier over this idiot. I saw Emmett and Jasper exchange surprised looks with each other when Edward mentioned that he was my first. Shit! More ammunition for Emmett I was certain. Well at least I knew I could trust the others in the family that knew not to tell them something like that. It wasn't any of their business anyway.
"Maybe so, but I was intimate with her in other ways before you were. Just thought you'd like to know she isn't all shiny and clean." Mike told him angrily before leaving. What the hell was that about? I knew Mike was angry that I'd slept with Edward, but why was he here in the first place talking craziness?
Everyone kept looking at me as though waiting for an answer. I thought hard. What could he be talking about? I remembered his terrible kissing in high school. So what then?
When Edward came back into the room, he looked at me seriously and said quietly "Bella is their anything you need to tell me?"
All of a sudden it came crashing in on me. Mike is insane to think I would even want to remember that. I remembered summers visiting my dad and playing with Mike as kids. I also remembered playing 'doctor'. That is the only thing I could think of that he was talking about.
I couldn't speak, the laughter was bubbling inside me. I knew my face was turning red.
Emmett said "Well she is either pissed off at your accusations or embarrassed because they are true." I didn't even have enough air to tell him off.
I started laughing hard and Edward looked angry that I didn't answer his question. I couldn't help it. They were all looking at me like I'd just lost my mind. A guy had just accused me of being a virgin slut and they'd all heard it and here I was laughing.
I doubled over and ended up on my knees with my head down. Not getting enough air I started to get light-headed. My head was spinning and I could see darkness in the corners of my eyes. If I didn't calm down soon I was going to pass out. I knew it.
I must've passed out anyway because I heard "Are you okay?" That question was from Alice along with "What did you do to my roommate? Look at her. I doubt she lied to you about anything. So when she wakes up you aren't going to mention it."
"Bella, wake up. Please." I heard Edward's beautiful voice, but it sounded far away. Coming to, I looked up at relieved faces. Edward held me close to his body.
"Do you want to tell us what that was all about?" I heard Rosalie ask me, she was trying to hold in her own laughter.
Trying hard not to laugh again I said "Mike was talking about playing 'doctor' when we were children. He's lost his fucking mind."
They all looked at each other and burst into laughter. Edward and Alice hugged me grateful I hadn't been lying to them about something.
"Okay, the next time the bell rings or there is a knock on the door, let's not answer it." Rosalie said. "It only has trouble behind it." I agreed with her.
"So Edward why didn't you tell us Bella was a bright, shiny virgin?" Emmett said laughing. First Mike. Now Emmett. They were both on my hit-list. At least Emmett felt more like a protective brother, than an annoying jerk like Mike.
"Emmett shut up." I responded to him. "I didn't even tell him until a couple of hours before." Emmett gaped at me and Edward groaned. Well it seems I can stick my own foot in my mouth just as easily as Edward.
Then I saw Emmett stand up and said loudly to Edward "You knew her four days before you fucked her? And you knew she was a virgin?" When Edward didn't confirm or deny it Emmett punched him in the face.
"Emmett!" I shouted. "What do you think you're doing? I wanted it too. I asked for it."
He spun around on me and said angrily "You should be more careful, Bella. Do you know, I mean really know how many girls Edward has been with? Why would you want the first person you are with to be a total whore? Why? Tell me."
"I don't have to explain myself to you. That's between me and Edward, not you. Stop being my overprotective brother." I snapped back at him.
"Well someone has to be, it looks like you don't have one and need one desperately." Emmett said. I could hear him mumbling something under his breath, but not the actual words.
Looking at Edward I saw his mouth was bleeding. Damn Emmett. He would pay if Edward's perfect crooked smile was ruined. Glaring at Emmett I took Edward's hand and led him to the downstairs bathroom where he'd bandaged my hands before.
Edward just seemed stunned. He had no reaction to Emmett or me. Dragging him into the bathroom I looked for the same stuff he'd used on me in the cabinets. Washing his mouth first I tried to stop the bleeding, that took a while before I could get it to stop or put anything else on it.
Outside the bathroom I could hear Emmett arguing with Alice and Rosalie. "What do you mean you knew she was a virgin? Hello? Are both of you retarded or something? Why would you let her go through with that?" Emmett was still angrily questioning.
"Emmett, it was their decision. Look at them. Do you really think we could have talked them out of it? Be reasonable." Alice said.
Then I heard Jasper's voice "Emmett's right. They should have at least waited a while longer. That's a big decision for Bella to make and after four days I'm not sure that was long enough."
Rosalie finally spoke up and told them the story of Jake and how I felt about the whole thing and why I wouldn't wait. The one I hadn't told anyone else, but Edward. They seemed to shut up after that.
I'd had enough of this overheard conversation. Shutting and locking the door to the bathroom I asked Edward "Are you alright?"
He closed his eyes and leaned his head against the wall. "No. I think Emmett is right, I should have at least waited a while longer."
Anger blazing inside me I said "Would you have waited?" I heard his sigh. "Yeah, that's what I thought. I wanted you too. Don't tell me you regret it now?"
Opening his eyes he said "No, I don't regret it, but maybe we should have done it differently."
Shoving him more against the wall I pressed my body close to his. I could feel his erection even now. "It's too late now. Deal with it. You aren't getting rid of me now because you feel guilty."
"I don't feel guilty about being with you, just the timing." Edward said back to me.
Growling low in my throat I kissed him forcefully. He kissed me back, but not as hard. Frustrated with the whole damn day I pushed his shirt up and started kissing his chest. This had not been a good day for either one of us I guessed, even if it would be funny later, right now it didn't feel very good.
Edward put his hands on my arms and pushed me back saying "Bella, don't do that. I already want you too much and I'm sure you don't want to have sex right now." No, I really didn't, but I wanted him to know he was mine and I was his.
Placing a finger over his lips I said "Shhh… the others will hear. Just relax and enjoy yourself."
I unbuttoned and unzipped his pants pulling them down slowly. He wasn't wearing any underwear. Staring at his erection first I kissed all around him. Cupping his balls first I then licked his shaft. Torturing him further I didn't suck him off immediately. I kissed back up his body, his chest. Kissing his neck sucking the flesh there I heard a groan as he pulled me closer to him.
Taking a step back I removed my shirt and my bra letting him look. He brought his hands to my breasts lightly caressing the nipples. Edward started to stand up straighter so he could bring his mouth to them. "No." I told him as I shoved him back against the wall. I brought his hands to them so they were cupping my breasts as I leaned my head down and licked my own nipples.
"Bella, why are you doing this to me? I need you now." Edward said growling in frustration.
"Because it's fun. Why else would I do it? Now do as I say and enjoy it." I replied.
Roughly I kissed his chest leaving bite-marks behind. "Fuck, Bella." I heard Edward say low.
Back down to his erection I worked myself, kneeling. I licked the head first lightly sucking it before anything else. "Please." I heard Edward moan.
More of my mouth came down over him as I licked and sucked. Trying to create more saliva I waited a few minutes as my mouth overflowed with it running down his erection. Placing my hands on his hips I pulled him closer to me. I took as much of him inside as I could. He put his hands in my hair and holding my head helped me with the rhythm of what he wanted. It was hard and rough this time. Exactly what both of us needed. "Bella, I'm going to…" He never finished his sentence before he exploded into my mouth. Swallowing it down, I stood. He was sweaty and panting. Kissing his chest again I bit him hard, before kissing his mouth.
Hearing a knock on the door I heard Alice ask "Are you okay? You've been in there a while. You can come out now, we've got Emmett calmed down enough."
"We'll be out in a minute." I replied to Alice.
"Okay. We decided to have an impromptu party for going back to school and to clear some of the stress. No one else is allowed to step foot in the house. If we didn't invite them they don't get in." Alice told me. Who could think about parties now?
"Uh… sure Alice." Was my only response.
Edward and I both put our clothes back on and before I could open the door he shoved me against it. "I won't forget this." Kissing me hard he opened the door. What did that mean? Won't forget it as in he's grateful? Or as in I would pay for it?
