SM owns all. Sorry this took so long but ff site was so messed up all weekend and I had to buy a new laptop. Joy really.
EDWARD MAKES ME SIGH 52
Edward took me in his arms and kissed me slow and deep. We fell into bed but our lips never parted from each other's. We touched and caressed one another for what seemed like hours.
My whole body was a flame from his touching, I wanted him so badly. Unfortunately now would not be our time.
"Bella, fuck, I want you so bad that it hurts. I...I want to take my time and explore you properly though. I know you have an early morning and I think we could both use some sleep."
'Well shit' I knew he was right. I didn't want a wham-bam quickie either so I conceded to him.
"Your right, I do have an early morning. Let's get some rest." I curled up around him relaxing almost immediately.
"I love you Bella, sleep well."
"I love you too Edward. Good night." I yawned after that and he chortled gently shaking me as I again fell into a peaceful sleep.
After being used to getting 8 hours of sleep the last couple of days, I was really feeling the lack of those extra 2 ½ hours this morning.
Thank the gods that our routine was perfection; it only took us 4 hours to get it down and besides 3minutes was like nothing. I don't even think we will need to practice again before our show tomorrow night.
Emily and Alice headed to their townhouse while Leah and I went to mine. All of us needing showers before our hair and their tattoos were done.
The boys were in a deep but loud discussion when we walked in and I could hear Emmett clear as day.
"I'm telling you this place is fucking awesome; you all need to ask Bella she loved it."
"I loved what?"
"Boot leg canyon"
"Hell yeah I did. It was a total blast, are we going?"
"T told me that we would be closed for cinco de mayo because of all the festivities. I was thinking that maybe we could go there for the afternoon then stay the night in Vegas. What do you think Beauty?"
"Sounds like a great idea to me, but what does everyone else think? Besides I will need to double check our schedule and see when we will work first."
I only listened for a few minutes before going to my room to shower. Edward was sitting on our bed when I came out of the bathroom in a towel.
He held his hand out to me and I went to him willingly. Edward sat me across his lap then ravished my mouth with his.
"I have been waiting to do that all day Bella. I did not like waking up alone."
"I'm so sorry but you looked to cute to wake up."
"I don't care how cute I looked, please from now on wake me before you leave. Please?"
"I promise but I'm not exactly sure why?"
"I haven't touched you all day baby or kissed you. I really need a kiss to start my day right."
"Okay" 'I sighed, he called me baby again.'
"From now on I will wake you up before leaving to kiss you good morning."
"Thank you, now how much time do we have before you leave again?"
"About 30minutes, what did you have in mind?"
"Heavy petting. How does that sound to you?"
"Oh yes I am on board with that." We were kissing and groping like hormonal teenagers again when my towel fell open.
Edward took complete advantage by cupping my left breast while his thumb teased my nipple. I let out the most embarrassing moan ever. It sounded like someone was strangling a cat. We both pulled apart laughing.
"Sorry about that Edward."
"Don't ever apologize for that, I love the sounds you make when I touch you."
"If you say so. I have to get ready now. I really do wish I could stay right here though."
"I know me too. How long will you be gone?"
"I'm not sure but probably until later tonight. I left the solution for your hair on the counter in the bathroom. You need to follow the directions exactly so the color lasts."
"Alright, thanks. Now go get dressed before I change my mind and lock us in here until tomorrow."
"Is that a threat because you know that does not sound bad to me at all?"
"Yeah me either but you have things to do so move it woman."
"Yes sir." I saluted as I made my way into the closet to dress. Edward walked me to the door giving me a searing kiss before releasing me.
All of our hair and their tattoos took longer than I thought it would. It may also have been because of our girly chattering. Seth and Sam blended in well with all of us girls. Go figure.
Alice and Emily just seemed so comfortable with them. While I was working on Emily's hair she asked a question that threw me for a loop.
"Bella can I just say thank you?"
"Thank you for what exactly?"
"Well first thank you for not judging me because Jacob is my partner. Second thank to you I also get to see Leah."
"There is no need to thank me Emily; we don't all get to choose our partners. But you are welcome all the same."
"Can I ask you a personal question?"
Shit, what did she want to know? Only one way to find out I guess.
"Uh, yeah go ahead." I braced myself.
"Um... well I was wondering…shit this is harder than I expected."
"Just spit it out, it can't be that bad." I hoped anyway.
"Alright, is Emmett seeing anyone?"
Yeah didn't see that coming either.
"Ah... What? Oh, I mean no he isn't. Are you serious though?"
"I am, but you are sort of scaring me."
"Crap, I'm sorry Emily I don't mean to. I just didn't expect that at all."
"If you not okay with it Bella I will understand."
"What? Of course I'm okay with it. Listen Emily, Emmett and I are very close and it has caused problems in the past for both of us.
There are things you don't know yet, things we can't tell you but..."
She held up her hand for me to stop talking.
"Bella I understand you two being close. I am not sure why it would be a problem for someone; however I promise to not interfere. I would not come between the two of you ever.
I just feel this entrancing lure towards him and it captivates me wholly. Do you know what I mean? Maybe it's just wishful thinking on my part."
Well hell what have I been doing not to notice this? 'Edward' *Sigh* I feel the same way about him. I will have to watch Emmett more closely.
"I know that feeling well." I smiled at her in the mirror.
"Have you two talked about it yet?"
"No. I really would like to get to know him better though."
"I'm not sure what you want exactly Emily? My permission, my blessing? You don't need them. I say go for it and see what happens."
"Really, oh thank you Bella."
"Yes really, but stop thanking me." We continued to talk while I finished her hair.
Finally after 9 hours we walked through the door. As soon as we were spotted all conversation stopped and jaws hung open. I heard Emmett, Jasper and Edward mutter 'Wow' at the same time.
I gave Edward a full smile which he returned then he made his way over to me. Edward and I talked quietly for a short time before Emmett asked about dinner.
"Bella can we go to that Moroccan palace again please? What was it called again?"
"Dar Maghreb."
"That's it Dar Maghreb. You guys will love it. They even have belly dancers." Emmett wiggled his eyebrows at everyone and they all agreed so we left for dinner.
If you have never tried Moroccan food I would highly recommend it. It is fantastic. The eight of us enjoyed our meal and the show before returning home full and exhausted.
Edward and I changed then climbed into bed. We talked for a while, kissed and gently touched but all too soon sleep claimed us both.
I woke up sweating at 7:30. I must have forgotten to turn on the air conditioner last night. I won't forget again. I took a semi cool shower to wash away my funk.
L.A. is a bitch in the summer and it was only spring, I hoped we didn't have to stay through summer.
I dressed leaving Edward sleeping while I went to get coffee. I walked back in our room and looked at a pouting Edward leaning against the headboard. I set our coffees on the night stand then met Edward's eyes.
"Good morning."
"Is it?" He asked lowly.
"Why wouldn't it be Edward?"
"I woke up with no you again." I blew out a breath.
"You promised Bella."
"Edward honey I didn't leave. I only went to get us coffee then I planned on waking you up properly."
He snatched me up by my waist and pulled me onto his lap planting a toe curling kiss on me.
"I am sorry I over reacted baby."
"Well if that's how you over react then feel free to do it anytime Edward."
After our too quick make out session Edward went and took a shower. I was pulling out our costumes for tonight when he opened the bathroom door.
Steam flooded out all around him. He had on a pair of shorts, no shirt and his hair now even darker than before had sparkling droplets of water clinging to it.
He was spectacular and took my breath away. I just stood there because all I could do was stare at him.
'I wonder how easily it would be to slide those loose fitting shorts off his hips and... .'
"Bella?"
"Huh. I'm sorry what did you say?"
"I asked if everything was okay."
"Yeah sorry I was in my own little world. Yes everything is great."
"Great. So what do you have there?"
"These are our costumes for tonight. What do you think?"
"Well they don't seem like much." I giggled
"That's because there is not much to them. These costumes don't cover much but I have some that cover even less." I watched as Edward's eyes nearly bugged out and he swallowed hard.
'Covered less' I heard him whisper then he seemed to find his voice.
"Tell me your joking Bella? I'm not sure I could watch men staring at your beautiful body and fantasizing about… about…"
I reached up and touched his cheek with the palm of my hand.
"Edward you have to try and not think about it like that. First of all I won't be the only one they are looking at.
Second I will be on a stage and they won't be able to touch me even if they wanted to. Besides Edward you or Emmett will be there to stop anyone from getting too close. Please try and not freak out on me."
"I will try but I make no definite promises."
"Well then that all I can ask of you. Thank you." Edward leaned down and kissed my lips softly.
"So what time do we leave for the club?"
"I'm thinking about 4:30. The club is only 10-15minutes away but L.A. traffic sucks that time of day."
"Good. So I guess we have a few hours to play with then, whatever will we do?"
"Actually I have some business to take care of and a trip to book."
"A trip, what trip?"
"The one we will be taking to Boot leg canyon. You do want to go right?"
"Oh absolutely it sounds like a total blast. I have never been on a zip line like that before."
"Don't forget we are also staying in Vegas that night. I have not been in a while it will be a blast."
"I am looking forward to it. How many of us will be going?"
"14 I think."
"14 seriously, who is all going?"
"There will be you, me, Emmett, Ben, Jasper, Seth, Sam, Alice, Emily, Leah, Angela, Tanya, Irena and Kate."
"Wow. Okay then, are we all staying the night?"
"No. Irena, Tanya, Seth, Sam and Kate have to drive back because they have to work early the next day. I am thinking that I only need to book 2 rooms. Well unless…" I paused. I was sure I wanted to but since we wouldn't need to pretend to be married I was not 100% sure how Edward would feel.
"Bella, unless what?"
"Unless you wanted us to share a room? I know we aren't really married but we are a 'couple' and I would like to…"
His lips were fierce against mine as he cut me off. 'Not going to complain'
"Yes Bella. I want to share a room with you. Married or not we are together and if I have my way I won't sleep without you ever again."
*SWOON*
"Okay then I will book 3 rooms."
"Perfect" after one more of his kisses I went to the office and Edward headed downstairs. I had a shit ton of emails to get through before I could even book our trip.
It was almost noon when I finished everything and went downstairs to fix some lunch. Edward was sitting all by himself in the living room flipping through channels on the T.V.
I startled him by wrapping my arms around his neck and kissing his cheek.
"What are you doing sitting here all by yourself? Where is everyone else?"
He turned his head to kiss me then grabbed me and pulled me over the couch onto his lap. 'I loved a playful Edward.'
"Hi" I said with a big cheesy smile.
"Hi to you as well gorgeous."
"Flattery will get you everywhere Mr. Cullen." I laughed
"I'm counting on it" he said then kissed me breathless again.
"So answer me question Mr."
"What question was that?"
"Where is everyone?"
"Oh they all left to go sightseeing and have lunch."
"Why didn't you go with them?"
"And leave you here all by your lonesome? Silly woman I was waiting for you of course."
"That is so sweet, unnecessary but still sweet. Thanks."
"You don't need to thank me I wanted to go with you."
"Alright so let's go eat then because I am starving." Lunch was so good. Edward and I talked more about our families then he dropped a bomb on me.
"Bella I was thinking that when I go see my parents in May that maybe you would come with me."
"You want me to meet your parents?"
"Absolutely I do. I mean I have met yours already and I was hoping that you could meet mine as well."
"Yes Edward I would love to."
"You're sure because I don't want you to feel obligated or pressured."
"Edward I don't feel those things. I really would like to meet them." I gave him the most genuine smile I could. I really did want to get to know them they sounded so down to earth. I was truly looking forward to it.
After our leisurely lunch we arrived back and pulled in right behind everyone else…
A/N Boot leg canyon is a real place but I have yet to go. Dar Maghreb is also real and their food is soooo good. We only have one Moroccan place close to where I live and they also have great food we go every chance we get. Have a good week.
