Edward

When the weekend rolled around, I was excited to see Bella again.

This was the longest we've been apart and it felt weird. I go from seeing her everyday to only hearing from her twice in one week.

However, I wouldn't see her until late tonight because she's spending the day with Angela.

I, on the other hand, was spending the day with my parents. My dad, Emmett, and I hung out and played football in the backyard while mom watched from the porch.

It was as if we were teens again.

Since my mom and dad both had busy lives during the week, we use to designate weekends just for families. It wasn't exactly a teens dream back then since all the fun happens on weekends but we knew how much it meant to mom so we sucked it up.

Even if we did have to miss a couple epic parties.

Emmett still holds a grudge because he missed Sophia Clark's party. Me? Not so much. Okay, fine, it sucks that we missed that one. I heard it turned out as epic as that party in the movie project x. And we missed it because mom took us to her knitting group.

Nice, right?

Aside from missing parties though, it was fun hanging out with our parents. There is nothing worse than regretting not getting enough time with your parents before they're gone. And while I hate thinking about either of my parents dying, I'm glad I was able to spend time with them.

"Time for lunch," mom called.

Emmett and my dad raced each other to the table while I took my time.

"Hey, Edward," mom said, sweetly.

"Yeah?" I asked.

"Come take a walk with me," she said, nodding to the little path that led into the woods.

"Okay," I said, confused. "What's up?"

"Nothing's wrong," she assured me. "I'm just getting away from the prying eyes of your brother."

That spiked my interest.

"I wanted to give this to you," mom held up a small black velvet box. "Since you and Bella have been together a while now..."

"I don't think either of us are ready for that step," I laughed, nervously. "We haven't had much time together."

"You've been with each other all day, every day, for the past year," she said, rolling her eyes. "However, I'm not pestering you to do it just yet. I just wanted you to have the ring so that when you're ready, you can pop the question."

I smiled, "Thanks, mom."

"Do you remember what your grandmother told you when she gave it to you?"

Years ago, when I was about thirteen, my grandmother fell ill and before she died she was the one to give me this ring, her ring, and made me promise to give it to the girl who captured my heart.

At the time, I rolled my eyes at her and told her I'd never find a girl like that but she assured me I would.

When she passed I gave the ring to my mom for safe keeping.

To be honest, I haven't thought about this ring in a while but now that I had it in my possession, I wanted to give it to Bella.

"Give it to the girl who captures your heart," I repeated.

"Exactly." mom smiled, proud. "And that girl is Bella. One day, maybe not tomorrow or the next, and maybe not even a month from now but one day that ring will be on her finger. I just know it."

I laughed, "You're so sure of yourself."

"I'm a mom," she said, tapping her temple. "I know these things."

"Oh, really?" I laughed as I followed her back to the house.

"Yes," she said. "Just as the mother of your children in the future. She'll have the same answer."

"What do dads get?"

She pursued her lips, "Nothing but someone to carry on the name."

"Nice."

I pocketed the ring and kept it with me all day.

Emmett and I left our parents place around six. We went back to our apartment and got ready for out night out. We chose to go to Clearwater's, while small it always held a special meaning for us.

I planned to leave the ring at home, in my sock drawer, but I took it out of the velvet box and pocketed it instead.

I wasn't planning to propose, don't worry. I just felt like carrying it around for right now.

The bar was packed despite the fact that Clearwater's was undergoing some construction right now. It was harder to find Bella and Angela than I thought it would be. Eventually, I found them leaning against the bar, a group of guys surrounding them.

"Relax," Jasper warned me. "No bar fights."

"And no throwing her over your shoulder and dragging her out of here," Jake added with a laugh.

I rolled my eyes and pushed my way to the front of the group.

"Edward," Bella grinned, launching herself at me.

I caught her and kissed her soundly on the lips. Needless to say, a couple of the guys took off after they saw I was competition.

"I missed you," I told her.

"I missed you too," she said, her arms never leaving my neck. "It's been a long week."

I nodded, kissing her neck.

"We're in public," she laughed as I turned vampire and started to bite.

"Sorry."

"No you aren't," I pulled back to make sure she wasn't mad at me. She wasn't. She still had a beaming smile on her face.

"I'm not." I confirmed.

She rolled her eyes and grabbed her drink, "So, what have you been up to this week? Behaving, I hope."

"I've been pretty boring actually," I said. "I mainly sit around my apartment in my boxers, playing video games."

"Sounds fun."

"This morning I did hang out with my parents."

"Oh? How'd that go? Esme ask if I'm pregnant yet?" she teased.

"She did," I joked. "I told her we were working on it."

Her mouth dropped open in shock, "Please tell me you didn't."

"I'm kidding." I rolled my eyes at her. "Like I would tell my mom I'm hiding your pills."

"I'm on the shot so that would be impossible, love," she snickered.

It occurred to me that we never had that talk. Well, aside from the fact that we both assured each other we were clean. Or rather I assured Bella that I had been tested and found clean, as I knew I was.

I didn't ask if she was on anything. We did use condoms the few times we did have sex but after we became officially we stopped using them.

One should always ask their girlfriends if they're on something before going in bare. I love Bella and all, and I'm sure I'd love the kid that popped out of her, I just wasn't ready to have said kid for about three or four more years.

"What's going on up here?" Bella asked, tapping my forehead.

"Probably should've asked if you were on anything before we slept together sans condom." I explained.

"Ah," she nodded. "Yeah, I probably should've mentioned it."

"Heat of the moment," is what I chalked it up to be.

Bella nodded, agreeing with me, and the topic was dropped. We gathered a round of drinks for our friends and weaved through the crowd to the booth our friends managed to secure.

"First round on us," Bella said, passing Angela, Jasper, and Jake a beer.

I let Bella scoot into the booth first and then sat down next to her.

"This feels normal," Jake said. "I like it."

"I'm surprised you don't feel like big rockstars wherever you go," Angela said. "I would."

"We aren't that big yet," Bella said. "We aren't even a blimp on the radar compared to other bands."

"We're getting more recognition," I told her. "You should've been with us when we went grocery shopping. It was crazy."

"Girls were all over us," Jasper added. "Too bad they were too young."

"Yeah," I agreed.

"Oh, really?" Bella gave me a dirty look.

I knew then that I put my foot in my mouth. So much for reunion sex.

"I'm taken," I said. "So, even if they were of age...I wouldn't have done anything."

"Yeah, he shot down a handful of girls at the club the other day." Emmett told her. "This one girl, she was drunk, she climbed on his lap and everything..."

I glared at him.

"He just...shoved her...on the floor..." Emmett said between laughs.

Bella laughed, "That poor girl."

"I wasn't trying to be rude but I asked her to get off." I shrugged. "I gave her a lit push and she's suddenly sprawled on the floor."

"Flashing us, if I might add,"

"I'm sure you liked that."

"I like my women with a little less hair," Jasper shuttered. "I'm cool with having some but I'm not cool with jungle bush."

"Thanks for the picture," Angela grumbled. "We all wanted to picture some girl with jungle bush."

"Now you know how I feel."

"Ew, and that was on your lap," Bella laughed at me.

"I burned my jeans, naturally." I told her seriously.

"Oh my God, that's the funniest shit ever," Bella couldn't help but continue to laugh at me. The others joined in. I just sat there and scowled. "Aw, babe, you have to admit it's funny."

I cracked a smile.

"See,"

"Okay it kind of was." I admitted. "But I feel bad for the girl."

"Eh, she probably doesn't remember it," Angela said. "When you're fall down drunk, pieces go missing, right Bella?"

"I sense a story," Jake said. "Do tell."

"Bella was a lightweight in high school," Angela started. "I mean, two beers could put her on her ass."

"I was a tiny girl!" Bella defended. "And I didn't eat anything before that one party."

"Continue," I said, cutting Bella off as I placed my hand over her mouth.

"Anyway, she had a little too much, for her at least," Angela added. "And she basically did the same thing your admirer did, Edward. She was all over Caleb, the quarterback. Bella...was...try..." Angela couldn't stop laughing. "She was trying to be sexy and grind on him but she fell off instead."

"Weird this is, I could've sworn I worn underwear that night." Bella mused.

"But you still went without a bra," Angela giggled. "She wore a tight strapless dress so when she fell it revealed everything."

"You know for something that was supposed to be a tight fit, it came off without an effort." Bella scowled.

I laughed.

"Bella still doesn't remember what happened that night," Angela said. "Only what I tell her, she knows."

"Even you hadn't told me, I learned at school come Monday," Bella grimaced. "Dakota, the head cheerleader, made fun of me because of it."

"She made fun of you before that."

"But before she hadn't seen any of my goods," Bella retorted. "She called me a twelve year old boy, tapped a sign to my back that said I was the president of the itty bitty titty committy, and so much more. I honestly wanted to transfer schools after that incident."

"She's just jealous she had back problems." Angela told her. "I mean, do you remember them big volleyballs. It made my back hurt just looking at them."

I snorted out a laugh and leaned down to whisper in Bella's ear, "I happen to love your tits."

"I know," she giggled. "I'm a little more confident about them these days. You can thank yourself for that."

I grinned.

I planned to show her just how much I loved them later tonight.

I know I said this last chapter but I'm super excited for the coming chapters. :D Also, next chapter will include a lemon, in fact that's pretty much all the chapter is so you can skip over that whole chapter if you aren't into reading that.

Thank you for reading and reviewing. I love hearing what you think.
