After thrusting one final time Rosalie cried out and collapsed on a heavy breathing Bella.
"Well we lasted a little bit longer that time." Bella said with a laugh.
"Long enough for you to work up a sweat." Rosalie kissed Bella's sweaty forehead as proof.
"Do you want to take a bath with me?" Bella asked.
Rosalie looked at her in surprise. " I've never taken a bath with someone before. Have you?"
"No but I would like to with you if you weren't opposed."
"I don't even know if I have any bath stuff. I might have to ask Alice. Give me one minute and I will be right back. Then I will draw you the greatest bath of your life." Rosalie said grabbing her robe and leaving to find Alice.
She found Alice in her bedroom listening to music and reading magazines.Alice looked up when she knocked.
"Do you have any stuff to use for a bath?" Rosalie asked her.
Taking in Rosalie's robe Alice smiled widely." Are you guys taking a bath together. That is so cute!! Why are you guys so freaking cute? Jasper has never taken a bath with me. No matter how many times I asked."
"That's great Alice or horrible I guess but bath stuff do you have any?" Rosalie questioned trying to get Alice back on track before she went off on a weird tangent about things Rosalie didn't care about.
"Yes I have the perfect stuff. You also need candles. Luckily I have those too. Follow me." Alice said leading Rosalie into her bathroom.
Rosalie gaped at the large selection of products Alice started pulling from her bathroom cabinet. " I just want to take a bath not do a science experiment Alice."
"Oh calm down. Take these. It says on the package when to put them in the water. Here are some candles that are supposed to help with relaxation. I recommend putting on soft music." Alice explained piling items into Rosalie's arms.
"Uh thanks? I think." Rosalie said.
"Have fun!" Alice called to her retreating back.
After making it back to her room Rosalie made her way to the bathroom and dumped all the stuff on the counter. She read through the instructions and smelled each product before starting the water in her large whirlpool tub.
"Do you need help?" She heard Bella call out.
"You can put music on and then meet me in here.
Bella picked out a jazz playlist she found on Rosalie's phone and went to join Rosalie in the bathroom. Entering the room she found Rosalie lighting candles and the tub filled with bubbles.
"It smells amazing in here."
"You can thank Alice later. She picked out all this stuff." Rosalie told her slipping off her robe and getting in the tub across from Bella.
"This feels nice. The only thing I miss about living with my mother is my bathroom. I had a big tub like this. " Bella said sinking further into the water.
Rosalie grabbed Bella's foot and began to massage it. "It must be a lot different living with Charlie. You grew up so wealthy and now you share a bathroom with a middle aged man."
"I never wanted for anything growing up but my grandparents didn't overly spoil me. Well I take that back they did spoil me but not with material possessions. They gave me their time and attention. Don't get me wrong they gave me presents and bought things for me but they didn't go overboard.I didn't really even ask for much. The estate has almost everything you need and I treasured spending time with them more than any gift." Bella explained.
Rosalie moved her massage to Bella's calf."I'm glad you had them. It's sad that they died when you were so young though. What was it like living with your mother?"
Bella frowned. "Difficult. I was only ten and I was the adult in the house. I had never been around my mother much growing up. She usually only came around when she needed something. Then she would bring some ridiculous gift that I usually never played with and left emotional devastation in her wake. When my grandparents died she made a huge scene at the funeral. Even though I was young I could tell it was all an act. She was crying but there were no tears.
Rosalie smiled. "Do you think she's a vampire? Maybe she can't cry"
Bella chuckled. "I know she's not a vampire by the amount of alcohol she ingests. When I lived with her I took over running the household. She would spend her days doing who knows what with who knows who and I would make sure the bills would be paid and the house wasn't neglected. "
"Did you have any help at all?" Rosalie asked as she moved on to Bella's other foot.
"Gene and his family tried to help out the best they could but they couldn't do much because they weren't blood relation. He knew my mother didn't actually want me only the money she got for taking care of me. He tried to give her another payout and even offered her the monthly allowance to continue but I think my mother had this crazy thought that if she kept me she would eventually have access to my inheritance."
"Did you ever give your mother money?"
"No. Like my mother I only got an allowance. It wasn't much but it covered the basics and if I needed anything else Gene was good about me getting it. I have access to money through him as he can authorize where the money goes. When I turn 18 I get the full amount." Bella explained.
"Is it rude to ask just how much money you have?" Rosalie asked uncomfortably.
"No it's fine. You're my imprint. That means it's kind of your money to." Bella cut off Rosalie's protest. "I know we will continue to have this fight but it really is. The estate itself including property and investments as of when the court did a calculation for the custody hearing was a little over 4 billion."
Rosalie dropped Bella's foot in the water and stared at her with wide eyes. "You're a billionaire?"
"Well it's not all cash. There is a lot of real estate." Bella told her.
"I assumed you have maybe a couple million. I think one of my family said a hundred million but you are worth 4 billion dollars?" Rosalie asked incredulously.
"Aren't you guys super rich? I mean Alice can see the future and some of you are really old." At Rosalie's raises eyebrow Bella blushed. "Not you of course. You don't look a day over 18."
Rosalie chuckled." Good save. We are wealthy but not billions of dollars wealthy. Alice seeing the future helps that but the future isn't set in stone. So even though it may seem that a stock is going to go up we are talking about hundreds of different people's decisions that can change that in an instant. So it's more luck. Plus we have to be careful of having that much money in banks as the government could take an interest."
"Do you each have individual money or is it all just one big family fund?"
"We each have our own money. I'm worth about 50 million. I haven't been alive as long as the rest of them so I haven't had a chance to amass much wealth." Rosalie explained.
"Still 50 million is a lot." Rosalie lifted an eyebrow at Bella."ok not as much as my 4 billion but like I said now that you are my imprint what's mine is yours."
They sat in silence while Rosalie took Bella's foot in her hand and began rubbing again. Rosalie thought about this recent development. She had heard Alice talk about Bella being worth a hundred million and Rosalie had assumed that meant with the estate included. Now though she wasn't sure what to think. This was another development where she realized that she was outmatched with Bella about. She wasn't sure how she felt about that.
"What has you looking so worried?" Bella asked concerned.
"Are you disappointed with having me as an imprint?" Rosalie blurted out.
Bella pulled Rosalie on to her lap before replying. "Why would you ever think that? I'm proud to have you standing by my side. There is no one better to fill the roll of the great white tiger's imprint than you."
"Bella, I bring nothing to this relationship. It's you who has given me everything. You even gave me physical abilities. What have I done for you? What can I even offer you?" Rosalie said looking away from Bella.
Bella gently grabbed Rosalie's chin and turned her face so she could look into Rosalie's eyes." You give me a family based on love. Something I haven't felt since my grandparents died. Not even fully with Charlie. You give me the feeling of belonging. You give me hope for the future and the strength to fulfill my destiny. You give me happiness and hope . Hope that no matter how hard life gets with you by my side I'll make it through and be that much better because of it."
Rosalie's eyes filled with venom. "Yes but is that enough?"
"It's more than enough. It's more than I ever dreamed of." Bella reassured her pulling Rosalie into a hug.
"I love you so much." Rosalie said sobbing on Bella's shoulder.
"I love you to sweetheart. Fate wouldn't have put us together if we weren't perfect for each other." Bella promised.
They sat there in silence Bella cradling Rosalie to her chest as Rosalie took comfort in Bella's heartbeat.
Bella's stomach growled causing Rosalie to laugh." I guess it's time to feed my ferocious beast."
"Who needs food when you can live on love." Bella told her.
"How about you eat some food and then for dessert I'll let you have all the love you want?" Rosalie asked avoiding Bella's grabby hands as she pulled the plug on the tub.
Bella huffed." You drive a hard bargain. But I want at least two helpings of dessert."
Rosalie chuckled"I'll see what I can do."
