I woke up with a start. Sometimes it felt weird to wake up without fucking bars surrounding me. Instead I was waking up with Bella's naked body wrapped around mine. He head on my chest and the sunlight was almost blinding. Bella and I had made love countless times through the night. And the sky had just started to lighten when we finally passed out. I wouldn't get to see Bella today. My mother usually took the girls out for some girls thing on Saturdays and I went to the driving range and the cigar bar with my father and brothers to go over business numbers; it's funny that this is the first time I wouldn't be the single one on this outing. Bella was the first woman that had been included in my family. Sure I'd been with plenty of girls, but none of them ever met my parents or my siblings. Bella would be the first and if I had my way my only.
"Bella baby" I whispered in her ear letting my lips graze against her ear.
"Edward seriously, you can't be ready to go again. I'm sore. Get off of me" she whined.
"No babe it's time for me to leave. I gotta go baby girl. I know my mom and the girls are gonna be ready to leave soon. You gotta get up baby" I whispered kissing her shoulders.
She turned over and her brown eyes landed on me and I swear I got kicked in the chest. He eyes so soulful. I loved the way her skin looked in the sun, as the sheet fell away from her I realized that she was completely naked. Her bare breasts round nipples hard I swear I wanted to take her. I couldn't take my eyes
"God baby you're so beautiful" I said leaning down and pressing my lips to hers.
"You're such a charmer, I-" she stopped.
"I love you Bella, I will spend the rest of the rest of my life proving that to you" I softly whispered and it threw me off guard because it was the first time I'd said it and I meant it. I would do anything for this girl. She owned my heart and made me vulnerable like no one else ever had. Scared the shit out of me and made me excited for our future at the same time. She was looking up at me with this look. It was trust and this need. I knew she trusted me to take care of her, to make sure her needs were met, to always protect her and I would never let her down.
" I love you too Edward. I just didn't want to be the first one to say it" she said with a small laugh.
"You know when it comes to you and I, shit like that don't matter" I said softly poking her side.
I got out of bed and went over to my dresser pulling out a pair of boxers.
"Stop staring at my ass girl" I laughed as I lit a smoke.
"Well if it wasn't so perfect I wouldn't want to stare" she said as she sat up and stretched. Man this girl's body was going to be the death of me. I mean I was seriously considering telling the family to go fuck themselves and keeping her in bed all day.
"So tonight after the races, I wanna take you to my house" I said looking up at her reflection over my shoulder in the mirror.
"I would like that, I mean I love being here with everyone, but-"
"I know baby, we need some time to just be. But you know tomorrow is Sunday brunch. It's Esme's thing. We go to brunch in the village every Sunday and unless you're in prison or the hospital you best have your ass there. It's kind of her gift to the press. The only time they can catch us all together for their pictures" I shrugged my shoulder.
"They'll see us together. I mean there will be nothing else to speculate about. Are you okay with that?" she whispered.
"Okay? I'm fucking excited. I want us Bella, I mean I know you're way to good for me, but I want to be with you, try to-"
She was up and across the room before I could put the rest of my fucked up thoughts into a sentence.
"Edward, you're perfect. And you and I are perfect for each other. I know about it all and I still want us to try" she whispered snuggling into my chest.
"Thank you baby, for I can't even-"
"Ride or die right? Good bad right wrong. Trust me Edward here and now is how it's supposed to be. Better than alright remember?" she smiled and wiggled away from me.
Her hips swayed as she wandered into the closet. She knew I was watching. Man this girl was perfect for me and going to be the death of me at the same time.
Lady in the streets and a freak in sheets; looking at Bella as she put on the small ruby studs in her ear that matches the sundress she was wearing; you would never guess that dirty filthy things that she'd allowed me to do to her in the bed behind her a few hours before. She looked every bit of the proper lady my mother demanded all her daughter in laws present themselves as.
"Do I get to see you before the races?" she asked as she tucked a curl behind her ear.
"I'm not sure how today is gonna play out. My dad is pretty anxious for me to get back into the mix of shit" I said.
"Okay, I just wanted to make sure I didn't need to get back here as soon as lunch was over" she said as she came over to help with my shirt and tie.
"Nah baby, enjoy yourself. We'll have our time soon enough. I think the plan is to meet up at steak and shake tonight" I said shrugging.
"Oh are we going to try that again? Hopefully the skank stays away" she crossed her arms and her lips puckered into the sexiest pout I'd ever seen.
"That shit with Tanya-"
"Edward, seriously, you're going to taint our bedroom by speaking her name in here. She's a skank plain and simple. She tried to make me question myself and if I was good enough for you. She's just like Jessica and Lauren. I'm-"
"Baby, this town belongs to my family, and you, belong to me, You have the right to comman respect and you will be treated with respect. I would never let her or anyone else make you feel less than the perfect woman you are. She was a fuck plain and simple, and not even a good one. She can kick rocks" I said as I grabbed my wallet and keys. She checked her make up in the mirror one more time I opened the door and there was my mom poised to knock.
"Well don't you two just look adorable together. I love the red in your tie matches her dress. Bella that dress looks amazing on you" my mom was barely containing her excitement.
"Rose helped me pick it. I-"
"You're killing me with that tiny waist of yours and these curves. Ugh I just wanna smack you" Esme laughed.
"I'm umm sorry?" Bella asked trying not to laugh.
"Yeah I'm sorry I gotta be in the middle of all this hen clucking. I'm outta here. Bella be good. I'll text you later" I said walking over pulling her into a searing kiss that made her whimper as my tongue softly massaged hers. I righted her on her feet. Her eyes were still glazed as I winked at her and quickly turned and headed down the stairs. I had a cockiness to my swagger today. I left my woman whimpering and speechless. I could get use to starting my day like that every day.
BPOV
I was left in a haze of lust running my tongue softly over my lips trying desperately to hold on to the taste of him.
I was in my own world until Esme softly cleared her throat.
"Cullen men tend to have that effect on women" she giggled softly.
I shook my head out of the fog I was in.
"Where are we going?" I asked.
"Just out for lunch and then a little shopping" She said
"Umm; before we go out. I should tell you about what happened last night" I said letting my eyes fall to the floor.
"Oh that little scene with you and that homely little wanna be flight attendant. I heard about that before the two of you even got home. Bella Carlisle has eyes and ears all over the city, and so do I. I doubt you would ever do anything to intentionally embarrass us, I appreciate your honestly and you trying to be mindful of all the press this family receives. The one thing I want you to remember is , that pictures they can be molded and manipulated just as easily as your words can, pictures we don't really care about; but choose your words extremely carefully. Family over everything, we do what we must to protect the family" she said with a wink.
"Now are we ready, they are going to be swarming today now that they think they have an idea of who you are. They're pulling out all the stops to find out your name. I figured we would tease them a bit today, and then tomorrow We do the weekly brunch where we don't hide. We let them get their pictures, hell sometimes Carlisle will even speak. But tomorrow I think the focus will be on you and Edward. I think you can handle this Bella, remember you're smart and beautiful and my baby loves you" she said giving my hand a gentle squeeze.
"No worries. I'll be fine. I promised Edward I would always be strong for us. This doesn't scare me" I said squaring my shoulders.
"Oh my sweet girl, Carl and I are so proud of you. You're the missing puzzle piece; the one who rounds this clan out. I know you'll be fine. Let's go get this over with" she said with a wink
I left the house with my head high and my eyes shielded by my sunglasses. They actually helped block out not only the flashes but from me trying to look at them as they screamed questions about my identity.
We all loaded into a blacked out SUV .this was nothing out of the ordinary when we were going anywhere without the guys.
As we reached the gate to the property the reporters even though they couldn't see us screamed for Esme and asked "Where is the new girl?" "Who is she, did you arrange the relationship for Edward?"
I kept my eyes glued to my phone to keep myself from breaking into the hysterical giggles that ensued last time I listened to their idiotic questions. I turned as we pulled out of the driveway as they rushed to their vehicles to tail us. This is what confused me, why were Edward and his family so interesting if they thought they were criminals.
The ride to the Brenzeno Bistro was quiet. I think we were all talking to our significant others. Text flirting with Edward was driving me crazy. I kept getting lost in the memories of last night. The part where we were on the feck of his bedroom in this big overstuffed lounger, both naked Edward put bruises on my hips with the tight hold he had on me as he moved me. I cried out a few times from sheer pleasure. In fact I'm not completely sure I knew the difference between pleasure and pain anymore. What I did know is that sitting today was a little painful, walking straight was going to take some concentration and that the only voice I could hear was all the filthy things Edward said to me last night, and not once did I blushed. I loved every moment of it.
I barely noticed when the truck came to a stop and a large Samoan man opened the door and offered me his hand.
"Thank you" I whispered
"No problem Mrs. Cullen. Have a good time" he said.
I was about to correct him on my name when I felt a little pinch on my wrist. I turned to Esme and she just winked at me.
"For all intents and purposes it's true and I doubt it will be long before it becomes official" She said giving my shoulders a squeeze.
We both smiled until we heard the clicking of a few cameras.
"You're headline news little girl" Esme said as we waited for Rosalie and Alice to join us.
" Rosalie always had to make an entrance so I'm sure she won't get out of the dam car until I wasting away to nothing from starvation" Alice whined as she joined us and gave me a soft hug and a kiss on the cheek.
"I know I'm starving too" I confessed.
"Well losing the V card multiple times in one night can do that to you" she whispered giving me a poke in the side.
"Ugh, do we really need to talk about that now, and besides how do you even know?" I hissed looking around.
"Bella baby you gotta be quiet, oh god Edward please. I know baby daddy knows what you need. Don't forget mine and Jasper's wing of the house is right under yours" she mocked in my ear. I stared at her wide eyed and then we both started to giggle.
"We never speak of this again" I demanded between giggles.
"No I don't think so. So Daddy knows what you need huh?" she asked waggling her eyebrows.
"I hate you" I hissed.
"I know but that's why this is so much fun. Was he good?" she whispered back
"Alice do you not see where we are and who is around, dear god so not the time" I whispered as she continued to give me the same saccharine smile.
"Yeah but your reaction to this is what makes it worth it" she teased.
"I swear I'm gonna tell Edward" I threatened.
We turned when we heard the press hurling questions at Rose about the rumors that Emmett had taken part in smuggling a bunch of girls in from Mexico and they were now dancers in his strip club. Rosalie walked right past them without a reaction and joined us. She leaned over and gave me a hug and a kiss on the cheek.
"God you're a master at that. I wanna be like you when I grow up" I said and we all shook our heads laughing as the press continued to snap pictures.
"Rose is that Edward's girlfriend?"
"Alice who is the new girl? Is she nailing Edward?"
"Hew new girl what's your name? Do you know about Edward's criminal past?"
"New girl did you know the Cullen's are a suspected drug cartel?"
I was about to turn around and say something really smart assed, but Esme saved the little smug jerk.
"Ladies our table is ready" she said staring daggers at the reporter. He kept the smug expression on his face but you could tell he was afraid. I pulled my sunglasses off my face and flashed them a few smiles and the cameras flashes were blinding I turned back and headed into the restaurant.
Lunch was a hoot and we spend most of the time laughing and picking off each other's plates.
"I'm gonna go to the bathroom before we go" I said standing up.
"I can come with you" Alice said.
"Don't be silly. Can you get a box for my salad and another for my wings?" I asked as I turned and headed to the bathroom.
I was washing my hands when two girls walked into the bathroom and stopped and stared.
"Hey you were the girl outside they were all trying to get pictures of. Are you famous or something?" the girl asked.
"No, honestly it's mostly about my boyfriend's family" I said fixing my lipstick.
"I love your blouse it's beautiful. You're so beautiful. Do you mind if we took a picture with you?"
"Uh no not really, what are your names?" I asked as she got her cell phone out.
"Cari and that's my best friend Deanna. I saw you on TMZ the other night. You're Edward Cullen's girlfriend right?" she asked.
"Yeah, he's my boyfriend, but my name is Bella" I said as I smiled for the picture.
"Thank you for the picture, and being so nice to us" the girl said quietly.
"Oh no problem. You girls have a good day, enjoy your lunch" I said and ran my brush through my hair.
It struck me as odd how much I cared about my appearance now. How much I cared about making sure I wouldn't do anything to embarrass Edward or his family. They had done so much for me.
Lunch and shopping went well and before I knew it the late night coupled with the physical demand Edward had put on my body had me yawning. Alice and Rose looked at my knowingly and Esme ordered the SUV to bring us home. Every stop we made there were more pictures snapped of me and my new family. I knew it would only be a matter of time before they found out my name. I had no idea it would be today.
When we got home I hung up the new clothes I'd gotten for myself and Edward and was going to just sit in bed and watch some tv. The next thing I knew the room had gotten noticeable darker and Rosalie was screaming my name.
"Oh my god Bella, you are too fucking amazing. Have you seen this wake up" she demanded.
"What are you talking about and why are you yelling. Shut up god" I grumbled. I hated being woke up.
"Dude you're on TMZ. Everyone fucking loves you, they're all talking about how sweet you are and how beautiful you are. Wake up watch this" she said pointing at Edward's large flat screen that was mounted on the wall.
I sat up slowly and watched at the entertainment news came on tv and immediately the screen filled with a picture of the family, only in this one, Edward was sitting next to his father alone.
"So ladies how many of us have fantasized about being the lady to grace Edward Cullen's arm in the next Cullen family portrait? Well sorry to tell you ladies but the slot has been filled. The rumors are true ladies. South Beach's hottest bad boy Edward Cullen is apparently in a very serious relationship. No one is sure how the couple met, but the dark head beauty has been spotted with different members of the Cullen family and a source close to the family says that she is extremely close with the matriarch of the Cullen clan, the southern sassy but always classy beauty Esme Cullen. Today Bella was seen laughing with the wives of Edward's brothers. Two girls approached the sweetheart in the bathroom of the Brenzano Bisto and asked her if she minded posing with them for a picture. The girls report that Cullen's girlfriend who name is apparently Bella is super sweet and was very nice to them. And the picture of me and the two girls, although grainy appeared on the screen. The girl from the restaurant appeared on the screen. "She was super chill and really down to earth. She didn't mind us taking the picture and she said Edward was her boyfriend" Rumors started circulating a few weeks ago when she was seen debarking the Cullen's private jet with Esme Cullen and the couple was seen outside of the oldest Cullen brother's gentleman's club kissing passionately.
We've reached out to the Cullen family and their publicist and at the time of airing our calls have not yet been returned. We shall wait until tomorrow, the Cullen's weekly Sunday brunch if Bella is on Edward's arm. I suppose we could try to hate the girl, but with a style like hers; I can't so we turn to our Fashionista's to talk about Bella's style. The screen turned to a handsome yet feminine African American man. "So Ms. T what do you think of Bab boy Cullen's newest love?" The reporter asked.
"Oh honey the girl has a body for the gods, and that corset top she was wearing outside of Dawn the other night, I can see why Cullen is all over that. If I played for that team god knows I would be trying. And that hair, I know women who have skinned horses to get hair like hers. I can't wait to see what she'll be wearing at brunch tomorrow"
"Well that's all we have tonight folks. I'm sure a lot of ladies in south beach will be crying into their pillows tonight, but Bella whoever you are. Girl I can't hate. Good night everyone" and the tv went to a commercial.
I was stunned into silence. I had went from a total nobody to having my style critiqued on a national gossip show and had people saying I had body for the gods. How the hell did this happen. I have to be in an alternate universe.
"Well you guys have went public now" Esme said from the doorway with a smile on her face,
"Esme god I am so sorry. When the girls were talking to me in the bathroom, I didn't-"
"Oh no. I'm proud of you, you represented us very well. I'm sure Edward is going to love seeing your face all over the tv with everyone knowing you're his. No need to apologize Bella, you handled that with more grace and class than I could have ever imagined. Now you girls should get ready. Emmett just called and said they're leaving the club. Have fun and stay out of trouble" She said walking down the hall.
"Oh my god" I whispered.
"I know right, every bitch in florida would give their left tit to be you right now" Alice squeaked.
"So will we actually make it to the races tonight?" I asked.
"Yeah we're going to meet the guys there; we're leaving here in forty five minutes bitches. So be ready" Rosalie said hopping off of mine and Edward's bed.
Sitting alone in Edward's room I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding. I loved the fact that I was content and relaxed. I didn't have a worry in the world. I felt ten foot tall and bullet proof. I was finishing the final tie on my purple camo thigh high boots.
"Girl those boots are amazing, I love that purple. Where did you get those?" Alice asked.
"When Esme took me shopping for my grades in Arizona. She picked them for me. I never thought I would wear them, but with this skirt and shirt it was like they were made to go together you know?" I asked as I ran the purple hair chalk through a few chunks of my hair.
"God you look totally amazing. Edward is going to be all over you" she gushed.
"I miss him. I'm like going through withdrawals or something" I whined.
"Yeah you've got it bad. Come on let's get your fix" Rosalie said as we walked out the front door. I loved her car it was a purple Charger with chrome wheels that had purple LED lights along the chassis.
"Wow Rosalie. I love this car' I said as we walked over to it.
"I'm glad, it's yours. Edward has been working on this since he got released" Rosalie said.
"Oh my god NO way, this is perfect" I screeched.
"He told me he thought you'd like it" Rose said as she tossed me the keys..
"Are you kidding me, the top comes down? I've never seen one that does that" I gushed.
"Edward had this custom built for you from the ground up. Poppa Cullen knows a few people, and that means you get whatever you want.
I had no idea what it felt like to drive a new car, never got to see the mileage at zero. And this was mine. This was the first time I had something that was just mine. The girls piled in and we just sat staring at all the options.
"You guys know I have no idea where I'm going right?" I asked.
"That's why you have GPS" Rosalie said pushing a few buttons and then the scree started talking.
I was a little more than shocked when we turned into an abandoned airfield but it was full of cars with loud music, bright lights and people everywhere.
"We always park in the way back" Rosalie said pointing to an empty space in the back.
"Wow; there are so many people here" I said as I turned and started maneuvering to back into the spot.
"Dam we beat the boys here; that's a first" Alice remarked.
"Edward just texted me saying he had to go pick up his car he's racing tonight; they'll be here in ten minutes" Rose said from the back
I backed in and put it into park. I let Rose show me how to operate the car from the touch screen.
I was engrossed in my car and all the features; even so I felt Edward before I saw him. I looked up and there he was parked next to me in the chrome and midnight blue GTO; his fitted baseball hat was down so low you could barely see his eyes, but from what I could see there were bright and intense but glassy and if possible he looked even more sexy than he did this morning.
"Hey beautiful you miss me?" he smirked.
"Nah, not really, I had other stuff going on. I really didn't have time to think about you" I said with a roll of my eyes and a bored tone to my voice.
"Oh is that right, forgot about me huh, I guess I need to remind you of who I am" he said leaning back.
"Guess we'll have to see; I'm not really worried. I'm actually kind of bored. I might go home actually. See I was waiting here for the guy-"
"Bella, you don't want to taunt me remember last night?" he teased.
"I don't think I could ever forget it. So do I get to see you race?" I asked batting my lashes as him.
"Maybe, depends on if you're a good girl or not" he shrugged
"Tell me Edward, what would make me a good girl?" I asked pouting my lips at him, I watched his tongue wet his bottom lip and I wanted to suck on it.
He was about to answer when a group of guys walked up to the passenger side of his car and leaned down.
He ignored them and kept up the staring contest with me. I had to prove to him that I wasn't going to cave and I wasn't going to let him win.
"Edward?" the one guy questioned shifting from foot to foot.
"Do you not see I'm fucking busy right now?" he growled not even loking
"But you said-"
"I didn't ask you to repeat what the fuck I said. I asked if you saw I'm speaking with someone obviously more fucking important" he snapped over his shoulder.
"But your father said-"
"Don't ever fucking tell me what my fucking father said, I'm gonna ask you one more time. Can you not fucking see I'm in the middle of something?"
"Your father wants us at the shop at midnight, he needs the stuff he asked you for, and if I go without it, he gets pissed at me"
"Sounds like a fucking personal problem to me Eric. I saw you at the club and you said nothing now I'm on my own fucking time and I gotta deal with your bullshit?" Edward said
"I didn't think-"
"We don't pay you to think Eric" Edward shook his head and grabbed an envelope from under his seat and whipped it towards the window.
"Next time my father asks you for something, I would suggest you not wait until the last fucking minute, next time I might not save your ass" Edward snapped. Still his eyes never left mine. I was starting to squirm under his stare. He'd never looked at me this way, the smolder of his eyes it let me know his control was on a hare trigger. The smart thing to do would have been to just pacify him; just give him what he wants. But I have to take credit for being the smartest dumb kid to ever live because it was my mission to break his resolve.
Eric and the two guys with him scurried away.
"Now where were we before we were so rudely interrupted love?" he whispered; the tone of voice was deep gravely and sexy.
"You were telling me how tough you were; though something in me says it's all talk" I winked at him.
We both chuckled as I got out of the car and walked around to the drive side of his.
"Dam baby you're looking smoking hot; that color on you is fucking amazing" he said eyeing me up and down.
"You don't look so bad yourself but then again, you always look amazing" I breathed out.
"Careful you're gonna stroke my ego a little too much" he smirked
"But according to what you said last night I'm good at stroking things" I said sticking my tongue out.
"Oh, look at the mouth on you, you got jokes huh. I like it" he laughed wrapping his arms around my waist. I tilted my head up and our lips softly brushed against each other. The flavor of mints; bourbon. and a little smoke took over my senses. His taste was amazing. The kiss did get a little intense until Emmett screamed from the top of his jeep
"Hey fuckers get a room" Edward responded with a crooked grin and flipping him off.
"I'm gonna get a drink, come with me?" he said holding out his hand.
Walking through the pits with Edward was something else. Everyone knew who he was, and rushed over to welcome him back with a fist bumps and a one armed hug, but he never took his arm from around my waist; his grip tightened when a group of olive skinned men approached him
"So shit is true, we heard you was back" One of them said as the group stopped in front of us. I saw the angry ticks in his jaw.
"Stefan how are you even still alive. I mean I know you're a bottom feeder and all, you had to know I was gonna take my shit back eventually. I told you before my father is your god and I'm jesus. We giveth and we also taketh away. I gave you room and instead of taking the shit and running with it, you ran the entire operation into the ground, you're nothing, garbage a fucking failure, and I'm done. You and your worthless fucking goons are dead to us" Edward sneered his grip on my hips becoming tighter.
One of the larger guys stepped forward you could feel the rage pouring off of him. And out of nowhere another group of large men with Emmett leading them stepped in the middle.
"Come on Vladimir, that's like a fucking Chihuahua going up against a pit bull, really, you want to go here?" Emmett said crossing his large arms across his chest.
"You disrespect us Edward, you owe-"
"Owe? I don't owe you shit. I got sloppy and fucking arrested, you had been begging me for fucking turf for so fucking long, and I gave you a chance, and you fucking failed me, if anything I should be collecting all the scratch and product you fucking lost, I have to recoup a few of my suppliers that's been down with me from the beginning and you fucking think I owe you? Fuck that and before I could comprehend what was going to happen Edward had pulled out a large black handgun with a laser sight pointed right at the large guy's heart.
Gasps and a few small screams echoed from the crowd around us. I immediately thought of this ending up on youtube or the internet or some gossip show and tried to whisper his name. He wasn't hearing me.
I looked around for anyone with a cell phone camera. Was I the only one thinking that someone here would sell Edward out for a few bucks. I looked over a Rosalie and raised my brow at here hoping she would get my point. She shook her head as if to say we had nothing to worry about. I was worried. What if there was a cop here, what if Edward got sent away again. I was starting to panic.
"Do it Edward come on, you know what will happen to you if you do, go back to prison to rot while my family takes all the turf and the power" the bigger one said.
Everyone in the crowd started to laugh. Edward just shook his head.
"Yeah I'm over this shit. Who's ready to race?" he called and the crowd erupted in cheers, it was like Stefan and Vladimir ceased to exist and all the focus and attention was on Edward and Emmett.
"Mark my words Edward. I will finish this, and I will finish your family" he threatened.
"Yeah okay. Let me know how that works out for you" Edward snorted as he turned us around to walk over to where a few people were waving slips of paper in Emmett's face.
I turned around to take one last look at the two men Edward had basically dismissed without a second thought. The way he sneered at me when our eyes met; It made my blood run cold. His eyes were cold and empty; something felt wrong like your spidey sense telling you to get the hell away from something. I clung tighter to Edward's arm. He looked down at me.
"What's wrong baby girl?" he asked
"That guy, he just looked at me and it made me I don't know it just felt wrong" I shrugged but still kept a hold of him.
"Baby, between me Jas my dad and Emmett, he would never get close enough to us to be able to do anything to you. Bella you will always be my priority" he said leaning down and pressing his lips to my temple.
"Edward you're in public and you pulled a loaded gun with a laser sight and silencer on this dude, aren't you afraid someone will leak it to the press?" I asked
"Bella this is the one place I don't have to hide. I can be me, all the people here are here because they know what we do and how we do, and they also know if something got leaked I have ways of finding out who and what; and that before anything could be made of it I would make them and the video disappear" he said.
"I just worry about you being taken away from me. I would never want-"
"Baby, trust me I would never do anything to make us not being together a remote possibility, besides I hated prison. I would never want to go back" he shuddered and we both laughed
Emmett called over to Edward.
"Ey Bro it looks like you got a challenger man, someone wants the GTO brotha" Emmett shook he head at a group of white guys, they all had tattoos and were standing by a group of smaller foreign cars.
Edward turned and put his hands on my waist and kissed me deeply.
"Alright daddy has to go to work. I'll see you at the finish line" he said kissing me again as the crowd erupted into cheers.
I just smiled dumbly at him and I gave him a little wave as he walked over to the group of guys.
I walked over and stood next to Rosalie.
"Those cars look a lot faster, like they are super fast" I said as I watched Edward lean against his car talking to the guys he was racing against. Everyone who raced had to show proof of ownership of the car they were racing with. The guys were laughing about something and bumped fist before Edward climbed into the driver seat.
"That's what they thing too, but Edward has a secret about that car, the engine is frankensteined that car goes from zero to sixty before most luxury sports cars have even started their engines" Rosalie said bored.
"Isn't that kind of cheating?" I asked
"Yeah, but ask Edward if he cares? He feels like by now people should know better than to challenge him, but they do and they pay, then he takes the cars parts them out and comes back week after week for more of the same. It's funny actually": she said shrugging her shoulders.
It was the parting of the red sea as the starting line was drawn on the black top. A girl leaned down by Edward's window to wish him luck and I felt myself start to go forward.
"Bella, calm down, she's on Edward's pit crew. You see the big Samoan dude over there with the neck tattoos?" Alice pointed to a guy that has both an intimidating stare and an intimidating size. He was like a mountain.
"Yeah I see him" I said
"That's her boyfriend and Edward's money guy, there is nothing there, the girl paints cars; that custom purple on your ride, I bet she came up with it; so there is no need to worry about her" Alice said squeezing my shoulder.
Emmett gave the signal for them to start their engines. A blonde girl with huge fake boobs and stringy hair went to the window the guy in the Honda and wished him luck. Edward turned and looked at me he motioned me to come over and few guys let out low whistles as I bent over into the drivers window. Edward's crimson tide hat was turned backwards and he was strapped into a racing harness.
"So, any words of encouragement for me?" he asked as he stared down the track.
"Nope you don't need them because I know you're going to win, and either way we're going to spend tonight at your house; but I think it would be better for us if you won" I whispered.
"Yeah I'll get the W for you Bella, I love you" he said.
"I love you too, have fun and be careful" I said as I kissed him softly.
"Drivers we ready?" a big Mexican guy shouted.
Their engines revved and Edward's tires squealed.
The guy in the other car looked over at him with narrowed eyes. I think he was starting to figure out that Edward's car was going to destroy him.
I walked back to Rose and Alice and Rosalie wrapped her arm around my shoulder and I rested my head on Rose's shoulder.
Watching the race was amazing. Edward flew down the abandoned airstrip leaving the Honda in the dust. He circled back and then flew past the Honda with blue flames and smoke coming out of his tailpipes.
"Holy shit he won" I screamed.
"No one but him ever wins, fucking spoiled ass cheater" a guy from his opponents group groused.
"Why you mad bro? You gonna cry when you give your friend a ride home?" Emmett laughed.
"Fuck you Cullen, we'll get it back; your days of owning shit will come to an end, and if you were smart; you'd get the fuck away from the Cullens before you get yourself hurt new girl" he pointed at me before walking back over to his friend who was beating the steering wheel.
"Your boyfriend Is going to get you killed, after you watch him and his family burn. I hope you know how to deal with pain"
I stood there for a second.
"Girl, people hate and they get mad when they get owned by us. I told you people will kill for what you have. Don't let the idle threats get to you" Rosalie said pulling me over to the pits.
I tried not to let it get to me, but I had my life threatened three times in one night. My need to run was screaming in my head. Something was telling me it wasn't safe here. I should have listened to my gut. But now looking back knowing what I know, hindsight is always twenty twenty, but one look at the crooked smile and I just proved love was blind. It has the power to blind you, and I would see just how blind I was only at this point I didn't know it yet..
A/N: So Yeah, this is setting the stage for the not so fluffy part of the story, you know the mighty must somehow fall, and I will warn you now, there will be a near death, and a long coma, but neither Edward nor Bella will die and there will be a happily ever after. But I have some really sinister stuff coming up in this story. Thank you all for your reviews and support and to the one guest reviewer who read all the chapters to tell me how much they sucked. You should really find another way to waste your time.
