I surprised you with a visit from Edward and no reviews? Yeesh. That's brutal.


Chapter Thirty Seven: Someday

You can go, you can start all over again

You could try to find a way to make another day go by

You can hide, hold all your feelings inside

You could try to carry on when all you wanna do is cry

And maybe someday we'll figure all this out

Try to put an end to all our doubt

And try to find a way to make things better now that

Maybe someday we'll live our lives out loud

We'll be better off somehow, someday

Now we wait and try to find another mistake

If you throw it all away then maybe you could change your mind

You can run, oh, and when everything is over and done

You could shine a little light on everything around you

Man, it's good to be someone

And maybe someday we'll figure all this out

Try to put an end to all our doubt

Try to find a way to make things better now that

Maybe someday we'll live our lives out loud

We'll be better off somehow, someday

And I don't wanna wait, I just wanna know

I just wanna hear you tell me so

Give it to me straight, tell it to me slow

'Cause maybe someday we'll figure all this out

We'll put an end to all our doubt

Try to find a way to just feel better now that

Maybe someday we'll live our lives out loud

We'll be better off somehow, someday

'Cause sometimes we don't really notice

Just how good it can get

So maybe we should start all over

Start all over again

'Cause sometimes we don't really notice

Just how good it can get

So maybe we should start all over

Start all over again

-"Someday" by Rob Thomas


In the morning I tried to get out of bed but Edward's arms wrapped around my waist. "No. You're not going anywhere," he muttered.

"But it's after 11. We should get up."

"Do you have anywhere you have to be?"

"No."

"Then stay in bed, please?" He looked up at me with pleading eyes and I relented and cuddled up next to him.

"Ok. I'll stay."

He softly stroked the bare skin of my arm, gently running the tips of his fingers back and forth over my skin.

"Mmm, that feels good," I murmured.

"Good."

We lay like that for a long time. Eventually I shifted a little which brought my ass in contact with his hips. He stirred and wrapped his arm more tightly around me. He kissed the back of my neck and I shivered against him. I felt him harden behind me and I teased him a little, wiggling just enough to get a reaction from him. He groaned and his hand gripped my hip to hold it in place.

"Are you sure you want to do that, Bella?" he asked teasingly and I laughed softly.

"Oh yes. You may have fallen asleep last night, but I'm not waiting any longer."

"In that case…" He slid his hand down my stomach and into my soft grey boy shorts. "Mmm, you're wet."

"I was having a very nice dream about some hot guy." I smiled.

He leaned his forehead against my neck and I felt his eyelashes brush my skin. "And who was the hot guy?"

His fingers slid through my folds and I moaned and arched into him.

"I dunno," I said breathlessly, "just some gorgeous guy with this crazy hair and a huge cock."

He laughed. "And what did you want him to do with that cock?"

"Everything," I muttered.

He removed his hand and pushed down my underwear and then his own. He positioned himself at my entrance and I shuddered, the feeling of his cock sliding against my wetness was incredible. He thrust in a little ways and paused.

"Fuck, you're so tight," he gasped.

"Well, it has been a while," I reminded him breathlessly and arched my back into him. He took my right leg and propped it up on his to allow himself better access. He slid further in and I groaned. "Way too long." I had missed the feeling of him inside of me so much.

"Definitely."

His thumb pressed against my hipbone and he thrust the rest of the way in before stilling.

"Mmm, Edward."

My eyes closed and I focused on the feeling of him filling me. He slowly began to rock his hips, taking his time with me. And despite the fact that it had been way too long since we'd been together I let him set the pace. I was in a dreamy haze, aware of nothing but his cock inside of me and the warmth of his body behind me. The slow, lazy pace continued and I pressed back a little harder.

"I missed you," he said softly and I smiled.

"I missed you too. So much."

His hand left my hip to cup my breast and his fingers teased my nipples into hardness and then moved down to my clit. He kept the pace slow but thrust more deeply and I moaned. My entire body felt warm and flushed and I was getting close.

"God, Edward, you feel so good," I sighed.

He continued to thrust slowly into me, fingers still teasing my clit. "You feel good too," he choked out, "tight, hot and wet."

"I'm wet for you. You do this to me," I gasped. His fingers slid over my clit just as he hit a spot deep inside of me and I cried out, "I'm coming."

"Yes, come for me."

I gasped and shuddered around him, moaning his name. He came just a few moments later, his breath harsh against the back of my neck.

"Bella," he groaned as he shuddered against me, fingers gripping my hip hard.

We laid there for a while, not speaking. It felt so good to have him inside of me, wrapped around me. It felt right.

"Thank you," I whispered.

"For what?"

"For coming here. When you could have gone anywhere in the world, to be with anyone."

"There is nowhere I'd rather be, and no one I'd rather be with."

I sighed when he pulled out of me. I felt empty without him as always. He rubbed his cheek across my shoulder and the scrape of his stubble tickled. I shivered and moved out of his reach. He pulled me close and I twisted around so I was lying on my back. I dragged my palm across his cheek, liking the feel of the stubble on it.

"Sorry about that, I need to shave." He closed his eyes as my fingers traveled across the bridge of his nose.

"Mmm, I kind of like it actually," I admitted.

"I thought you liked me clean shaven."

"I do usually. But this is nice too. I missed it."

"Do you know what I missed the most?"

"The sex?"

"No. This. Just lazing around with you in bed."

"I missed it too," I sighed.

He traced his fingers along my cheek and I felt my eyes close, I was drowsy and content.

"I should get up," I murmured but he pulled me close and shushed me.

"Sleep, Bella."

He stroked my face softly and I slipped into sleep before I even realized it. When I woke up a while later he was still awake.

"Were you watching me sleep?" I asked.

"Yes."

"Was I talking again?" I asked, sitting up and stretching.

He shook his head. "No, not this time."

We both got out of bed and I slipped into my robe. Edward put on his boxers and I smiled when I noticed his hair. I'd missed his crazy bed head.

"What are you smiling about?" he asked me.

"You."

"What about me?"

"Your crazy hair."

He glanced in a mirror and grinned ruefully. "Uh, yeah. Wow. It's worse than usual, isn't it?"

I nodded and sat down on the floor by the fridge, pulling out a bottle of water. He sat down beside me and I offered him my water. He took a few sips and handed it back.

"I'm starving," he groaned. "What do you have in here?" He peered into the fridge. "Vodka and cream cheese? That's a healthy balanced meal, Bella."

I laughed. "Well I wasn't exactly expecting company, in fact I was going to go shopping this week. And the vodka is Rose's, she brought it over one night and never took it home with her. And the cream cheese was for bagels."

"Do you still have any bagels?" he asked hopefully.

I laughed. "Nope, I ate the last one a couple of days ago." He sighed and closed the fridge. "It isn't the end of the world you know. We can go to the store if we have to."

He sighed dramatically again. "No, I'm sorry. But we can't. I've kidnapped you. You're staying here in this room with me. Naked."

"I think there's going to be a problem with that. I think we're going to need food eventually."

His eyes brightened. "I do have a solution for that. They'll still deliver pizza to the dorms, right?"

"Yeah."

"Then we're ordering a pizza." He grinned at me, "Well, if you don't mind that is."

"No, pizza's good. Although I think you'll still have to put on pants. I doubt the delivery guy wants to see your junk."

"You never know."

"True." I said dryly.

"But I promise, I'll be good and put on pants." He made a face. "But you…you are not going to. You're going to stay right here tucked into bed for me."

"Yes, sir." I giggled.

"Mmm, sir…you know I like that." He kissed me.

"Uh, Edward." I protested weakly, "I thought we were going to order pizza." As if on cue my stomach grumbled.

"If you insist. What do you want?"

"I'm not too picky…no green peppers, no anchovies but I like everything else."

"My favorite is artichokes, fresh tomatoes, mushrooms, feta and Italian sausage."

"That sounds fantastic." I batted my eyelashes at him. "Will you call and order?"

"What is your issue with ordering?"

I wrinkled my nose. "I don't know. I just hate doing it." I blinked up at him, widening my eyes.

He sighed, "The Bambi eyes aren't always going to work on me you know."

"Probably not, but I might have another trick or two up my sleeve," I teased him. "Did it work this time?"

"Yes," he admitted. "I'll rescue you from the big bad order."

"Thank you, Edward."

He rolled his eyes. "Anything for you." He leaned back against the couch and I lightly ran my fingers through his hair while he dialed the number. He placed the order with his eyes closed, sounding sleepy and content.

When he hung up I teased him. "They're going to think you were high or something."

"I am," he muttered sleepily. "High on Bella."

"Did you go through withdrawals without me?"

"Yes, you're my own personal brand of heroin." I scratched his scalp lightly and he moaned. "You have no idea how good that feels."

He opened heavy lidded eyes to look at me.

"Well, that was kind of the point. To make you feel good." I smiled at him.

"Mmm, it's working. More please."

I tugged lightly on his hair and his eyes closed again. "You are so fantastic," he said.

"I know."

"I see my modesty has rubbed off on you."

I snorted. "Yes, modesty, that's the word. And rubbed off? You couldn't come up with a less suggestive phrase than that?"

He shrugged. "It wouldn't matter. We both have dirty minds. We can't help but make everything suggestive."

"Probably true," I admitted. "Now what are we going to do until the pizza gets here?"

He looked over at me, suddenly no longer sleepy and relaxed looking. He kissed me, and I lost myself in the feel of him. He pulled off his boxers and kissed his way down my stomach, parting my legs. He nipped the soft flesh of my thigh. "You'll make for a nice appetizer," he teased and I guided his head to my pussy.

"Impatient?" he grinned up at me and I growled.

"Yes." His tongue stroked across my wet flesh and I groaned. "God that feels good."

"I've missed the way you taste," he said huskily before dropping his head to lap at me again.

He slid one finger inside of me as the tip of his tongue wrapped around my clit. I felt my lower body arch up off the bed and I gasped. "Please Edward, I want to feel you inside of me."

He slid up my body and kissed me. Just as he hitched my leg over his hip we were interrupted by a knock on the door. "Stupid pizza guy," Edward muttered, but he buried his face in my chest and didn't move.

"Uh, I think you need to get up and put pants on," I reminded him.

He sighed and stood up. "Are you sure I can't answer the door this way?"

"Quite sure."

"Fine," he grumbled and put them on, without any boxers underneath. "Pants are highly overrated you know."

"But also greatly appreciated sometimes." I slid under the covers and tucked them around me.

He answered the door on the third knock. "Sorry."

"It's ok." I heard the pizza guy say. "Here is your pizza. Hey, I'm really sorry man, but do you have a pen? I left mine in the car."

"Uh, give me one sec." He peered around the divider wall at me. "Hey, Bella, do you have a pen I can use?"

"Sure." I twisted around so I lay on my stomach and reached for the desk. The sheet slipped down exposing my bare back as I rooted around in the drawer for one. "Found one."

I turned and caught the sheet, pulling it around me but not before I saw the shocked pizza guy's face. He had stepped into the room and caught a glimpse of me. He backed quickly away when he saw Edward's face and stammered, "Sorry…I didn't mean to…"

Edward quickly signed the receipt and thrust it at him. "Get the hell out," he growled and slammed the door behind him.

Through the door I could hear the guy call out, "enjoy your pizza!"

Edward tossed the pizza on the mattress next to me and sat down, still scowling. "Did you absolutely have to give the pizza guy a show?"

I laughed. "Well it wasn't on purpose, I didn't know he was going to come further into the room. And I don't think he really saw anything anyway."

"He saw enough."

I rolled my eyes. "You were the one who didn't want me to put clothes on. You're also the one who wanted to answer the door without pants on. And remember me telling you I wasn't into the possessive caveman thing at New Years? That's still true. Lighten up."

He sighed and gave me a half hearted smile. "Sorry, I did kind of overreact."

I nodded. "Alright. Now if you don't mind, I'm starving, so you can hand over the pizza, buddy."

He laughed and handed it to me. "Go for it. I want you well nourished."

I opened the box and grabbed a slice. "And why is that?" I mumbled around a mouthful of hot cheese.

"I have plans for you."

"Good plans?"

"Very good plans." He winked.

It still made me shiver every time he did that. After we finished eating and the leftovers were safely in the fridge he crawled into the bed beside me.

"I think we were rudely interrupted just as we were about to do something."

"Hmm. I don't really remember. What were we doing?"

He gave me a dirty look. "Not funny."

"What isn't?" I asked, widening my eyes innocently.

"Pretending like you can't remember me getting ready to fuck you."

"I think you'll have to refresh my memory."

He pretended to frown at me and grabbed my hips to lift me toward him. He sat back on his heels, his hand lightly stroking across his rapidly hardening cock.

"I like watching you do that."

"You do?" He sounded surprised.

"Mmm, very much." I saw his cock twitch in his hand and I smiled at him. "Keep going."

"But I wanted to fuck you."

"We can always do both."

"Hmm, true. Let me be inside of you first."

"Alright."

He grabbed my hips and pulled me toward him. My legs fell on either side of his hips and I wrapped them around him. He sat up a little and guided his cock into me. I sighed at the feeling, the moment when he first pushed into me was always intensely pleasurable. I'd missed it so much. This time when he fucked me it was quicker, but measured. Deep, even strokes that filled me completely and left me panting.

"Fuck, I'm going to come," I moaned.

I could see him gritting his teeth. "I'm not far off, but I want you to come first."

I reached down to play with my clit and it was enough to send me spiraling over the edge. I came with a loud moan and I felt Edward's body tense as he fought for control. When my orgasm started to subside he pulled out of me and wrapped his hand around his cock.

"Do you want to watch me?" he rasped.

"Yes."

My feet fell to the bed on either side of him but my knees stayed bent and I raised up on my elbows to watch him more closely. His hand stroked up and down the length and swirled over the head, his fingers tightly gripping his hard flesh and I watched him, mesmerized. He gasped and stiffened. "Where do you want me to come?" His voice was strained sounding.

"My tits."

I traced a fingertip across my nipple and as it hardened I saw his eyes go dark with lust. A moment later he came with a groan, his body shuddering against mine as spurts of come fell onto my chest. He collapsed forward, his head resting on my stomach.

"Jesus," he panted. "Fuck Bella, that was..."

I ran my fingers through his hair and he sighed, his breath finally slowing.

"Good?"

"Oh my god." He lifted his head and his eyes were still a little dazed. "That was so fucking hot. I don't even know why, but it was really intense."

"Yeah, it was pretty hot to watch," I admitted.

Once we'd both recovered a little he grabbed tissues to clean us up and he crawled back into the bed beside me. We lay quietly for some time, content to just be together.

After a while he spoke. "Do you have homework this week?"

"Yeah, I need to get some reading done. You?"

"I should work on a paper." He sighed. "Not looking forward to it."

"Mmm, I bet." I turned over to look up at him. "We really should go get your car today."

"I know. But that would require getting out of bed, and putting on pants, and going out in the rain. And I'm sorry. But that's just not allowed today." He grinned at me.

"I just don't want to inconvenience Angela and Ben."

He sighed. "I know. Fine. We'll go."

"Well, maybe I can call and ask if they are ok with us getting it tomorrow." I grabbed my phone and dialed Angela.

"Hey, Bella."

"Hey, Ang. Can I ask you a favor?"

"Sure. Anything."

"Would it be alright if Edward and I got his car tomorrow morning? We're kind of busy this afternoon."

He snaked a hand higher on my thigh and I swatted at it. He grinned and tickled me there. I squirmed away from him and tried to focus on Angela.

"Of course Bella. That's no problem. It's not in the way or anything so you can come get it any time."

"Thank you so much. I really appreciate it."

"So what are you guys up to today?" she asked.

Edward's hand inched higher again and brushed against me.

"Um." I scrambled to come up with a semi-coherent response. "Well, we…"

She laughed. "Never mind, I don't need the details. I think I have a pretty good idea what you two have planned."

"Sorry Ang," I squeaked.

"Hey, no apologies. Have fun with the gorgeous boy in your bed."

I blushed and Edward chuckled.

"Um. I will. I'll see you tomorrow when we come pick up the Volvo."

"Bye, Bella!"

"You are such a trouble maker," I hissed when I ended the call.

"I know." He smiled smugly at me.

"That wasn't a compliment."

"It is to me."

"You're insufferable, you know that?"

"Was that also not a compliment?" he teased me.

"No, it really wasn't." I poked his side. "Alright you punk. You have me here until tomorrow morning…what do you want to do with me?"

With a teasing growl he pounced on me and it wasn't long before he was hard again. Without further foreplay he sank into me. We moved together easily, like we'd never been apart. Our bodies knew each other and we both found our release quickly. After, when we were both flushed and breathing hard Edward collapsed beside me.

"So, I vote we move the mattress to the floor tonight."

"Why?"

"You kept squashing me into the back of the couch last night. Besides, I think it'll be much easier for sex."

"Well in that case…" I grinned at him. "Let's get this mattress on the floor."

I stood up and groaned. "Oh my god Edward. You're killing me."

"What did I do?" He sat up, looking perplexed.

"I am so sore."

He chuckled. "I know, me too. Muscles I didn't even know I had hurt. I am so out of shape."

I glanced at his chest and stomach, his body still lean and the muscles sculpted.

"Yeah, you've really let yourself go."

He laughed. "I mean I'm out of shape for sex. It's been a while you know."

"I know." I looped my arms around his neck and kissed him soundly. "We may not be able to walk by the end of the week."

"I'll risk it."

I stretched and caught him ogling my ass. "What?" I laughed. "What are you staring at?"

"You. Your ass looks spectacular."

"Thanks." I smiled at him, amused by the look on his face. "I've been running a couple of nights a week. It helps with the pent up frustration when you're gone."

"And here I've just been jerking off in the shower all the time…" he joked.

We moved the mattress onto the floor and pushed the frame of the pull out couch back in to give us enough room to maneuver around. After, I managed to talk Edward into letting me get dressed long enough to run down to the front desk and officially check him in as a guest and to get a key to the men's shower room and a temporary parking pass for him.

The rest of the afternoon and evening was spent watching movies, eating cold pizza and of course pleasuring each other. It was with a stupid smile on my face and a thoroughly satisfied body that I went down the hall to take a quick shower and brush my teeth before we went to bed. He did the same and when we slid into bed I breathed his scent in deep. Sated and drowsy I fell asleep in his arms finally feeling like everything was right with my world.


-What do you think, are things getting back to normal between them now?
