You know, vacations are exhausting. Honestly, just got home and I am completely exhausted. I need another vacay to recoup from this one. As promised, I am updating all of my stories today! Next time I update will be on the 1st of June!

Chapter Eighteen – Mommy Dearest

"Holy fucking shit, you feel amazing," Edward groaned as he thrust into me.

"Oh, god, please don't stop," I moaned against his wet shoulder. The showerhead soaking us in water that had long turned cold.

"Fuck, fuck," Edward moaned, "Bellsy, I can't hold long."

He slid his arms under my thighs and over his shoulder. I gasped at the new position; his cock had gone deeper into me, hitting new spots and stretching tight muscles. I grabbed the towel bar above my head, gripping it as he thrust deeply into me.

"Oh god! Oh god! You're so deep! Please Edward! Please!" I cried out, feeling an intense orgasm coming on.

"Shit! I'm gonna fucking cum, you're so fucking tight!" He gasped as his thrusts became harder.

He thrust several more times before I felt him release his seed deep into me. We both gasped as our orgasms hit at the same time. He stumbled backward as I fell into his chest, both of us breathing heavily as we came down from our highs.

"That was amazing."

I smiled, "You said that last night."

He smiled against my neck then kissed it, "Well, it's true. That was amazing."

I nodded in agreement, then straightened my legs, "I think you're running late."

"Yeah, probably," He said as he toweled his hair, "Eh, it's fine. They'll wait for me."

I walked into the bedroom, pulling out some clothes, "You know, I was thinking, maybe I should go on birth control."

"Not a bad idea," he said, "With as hard as we go, the condoms might break one of these days. Can't have any kids running around just yet."

"Just yet? Who says I'm ever having kids?" I cheekily smiled as I pulled on my leggings.

"Are you kidding? I see the way you stare at babies when we're out."

I laughed, "Okay, maybe one day I'll have kids, but, not right now."

He nodded in agreement, "Hopefully our relationship moves in that direction. I just have to keep on my toes, so you don't kick me to the curb."

I leaned into his side, "You don't have to worry about that. I'm the one that has to worry."

He leaned down and kissed my lips, "You don't ever have to worry about that darling."

I smiled and nuzzled my nose against his, "Alright, you need to get going."

He sighed, "Okay, I'm going. What are you going to do today?"

"I think I might look at some used cars, clean a little, maybe go to the store and pick up something to make for dinner. Just some boring stuff." I said.

"Cool, you got the joint card?"

"Yessss," I said in somewhat of a whine.

He laughed and kissed the top of my head, "Okay, babe, I'll see you when I get home."

"See you later," I waved.

After he left, I started brushing my hair. I hated days like this. When Edward wasn't home, and I didn't have work. It sucked, I was bored most of the day.

I started with cleaning the apartment. Scrubbing every inch from top to bottom. The apartment was impeccably clean since I moved in.

Once I finished cleaning, started to look at some decent used cars. And some cheap new ones. I couldn't decide if I wanted a cheaper new one or just a used one. Each had their own set of pros and cons.

I had to step away from the computer after two hours of searching. My eyes were starting to hurt. I decided to walk to the market to get something for dinner. Maybe browse a bit.

The joint card was left on the counter. Edward and I got that card together a few days ago. It was our joint checking account. We each put in about two hundred dollars into it and it was used for household things like, groceries, cleaning products, and what not.

I walked to the market, which was about a twenty-minute walk. I didn't mind the walk, it killed time until Edward got home.

I walked up and down the aisle, searching for what to fix for dinner. On the nights that I didn't work, I had been cooking. Edward loved it.

Edward and I were planning on meeting his family one of these days. I was still working up the nerve and he was still trying to find the perfect time.

Edward and his father weren't speaking to one another at the moment. I wasn't entirely sure why, but, the fight they had must've been pretty intense. When he came home one night, it had been the first time I had ever seen his so angry.

Flashback

I was sitting on the couch reading a book when the door slammed shut and scared me. I immediately stood as Edward walked into the room, his footsteps heavier than usual.

"Edward are you okay?"

Edward slung his coat off and threw it at the chair, shaking his head.

"My god damn father, he can be the biggest fucking prick sometimes. I swear if he wasn't my father I'd knock the shit right out of him.

"What happened?" I asked, slowly walking to him.

He shook his head and grabbed me in a hug, "I don't want to talk about it yet. Just, give me some time to cool off."

I hadn't asked him about the fight since then. I wanted to but there had been times where I wouldn't tell Edward what was bothering me until later and he never bugged me to tell him. So, he deserved the same respect.

I decided on a roast. I could cook it and we'd have left overs for a couple days. I could throw it into a crockpot and let it cook until Edward got home. I picked up some potatoes and carrots to throw into the pot.

I walked a little slower on my way home. There wasn't much for me to do when I got home. When I got home, I found that the door was unlocked. My heart beat started to speed up a little as I opened the door and stepped in.

"Edward? Are you home already?" I called out, not fully walking into the apartment.

"No, it's me!" An unfamiliar female voice said, then a woman walked around the kitchen.

"Are you one of Edward's friends?" I asked as I stepped into the apartment and shut the door behind me.

She laughed, "No, no, I'm Edward's mom, Esme."

A nervous feeling in my bubbled, "Oh, hi, I'm Bella," I extended my hand out to her, "It's nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you too," she smiled, "I'm glad to finally meet you. Edward was supposed to bring you by, but, then him and his father got into it again," she sighed and shook her head, "They're so stubborn. Exactly the same."

"I know, Edward came home one day angry. He hasn't told me what happened."

"They fight all the time. I'm not really sure what it was about this time. Sometimes I have to tune them out. They'll come around though in about a week."

"Is that how long their fights usually last?"

"No, I'll make them get along," she laughed, "They're my boys. They love me too much to keep fighting."

"Good. I think it bother's Edward that him and his dad don't get along."

"It bother's Carlisle too. But, I try to tell him to back off Edward, but he just won't listen."

"Why don't they get along? I mean Edward's told me it's because his dad wants him to finish medical school and be a doctor like him."

She made a face, "It has more to do with Carlisle worrying about Edward. Did Edward ever tell you about the first business he invested into?"

"No." I said.

We moved to the kitchen, so I could unload the groceries. Esme sat at the counter with a cup of coffee. I poured myself a cup then sat beside her.

"So, what happened with Edward's first investment?"

"Well, right out of high school, Edward invested in this company with his friends. He was so excited, and so were his friends. The company was doing great for a year, Edward was making good money and he was being a little frivolous with his money, but Carlisle and I just let him enjoy himself a little. After a year, the company went under investigation. Apparently, one of Edward's friends was using the company for money laundering. All of them got in trouble. All of them sent to jail. Edward spent two weeks in prison before Carlisle could bail him out, they still had to go to trial, which was intense. Thankfully, they proved that Edward wasn't involved with the scam, but somehow, his friend who did all this, only spent six months in prison. He had a great lawyer. But, it makes me so angry that that boy did that. He and Edward used to be best friends. I treated him as if he were my own, then he did that to Edward," she shook her head sharply, "I called his mother and told her off. She had the nerve to say that Edward was to blame for all of that. Ridiculous. Every time I think about it, it just infuriates me. Ever since then, Carlisle has worried about Edward getting screwed over again. He wants him to be a doctor, so he won't get in trouble. Truthfully, I wouldn't mind if he became a doctor. I worry about him to, but, I know he goes to great lengths to avoid another situation like that."

"Edward never told me any of this," I said as I sipped my coffee.

"Oh, I hope you're not mad at him now. Or me for telling you." She said.

"No, of course not," I said, "I hope he doesn't get to mad that I know."

"He won't," she winked, "I'll tell him I told you if he does get mad. But, Edward's not afraid to tell anyone this."

"I wonder why he didn't tell me though," I said.

"He might have been afraid you wouldn't date him if you knew he spent a little time in prison."

"I wouldn't have minded. I have my own skeletons," I chuckled nervously.

She nodded, "Well I think you two are a good match. You know, he's never really settled down with someone. He'll have a fling here and there, but, he has never really made a long-term commitment."

"Whys that?"

"He's been focusing on building his career back up. It's been hard for him. No one wants to do business with someone who has a record of money laundering. He's just now starting to rebuild his good name."

"He seems to be doing well, now."

"He is, he really is. I'm so proud of him. But I still worry."

The front door open, and Edward walked through. He walked into the kitchen and a surprised looked skittered across his face as he spotted me and his mother.

"Hey, mom, what are you doing here?" He asked.

"I dropped by to give you some extra cookies I had left over. But, then Bella and I got caught up talking."

He nodded then walked around the counter and kissed the top of my head.

"You're home early," I said.

"I'm home on time," he checked his watch.

"Oh, well I forgot about dinner," I giggled, "I guess your mom and I got caught up talking."

"I should get going," Esme said as she stood, "I'm sorry I held you up. It was nice meeting you Bella."

"It was nice meeting you to, Esme." I said as she left.

"So, what did you and my mom talk about?" Edward asked.

"Oh, she just told me a little about you and your dad. I hope you don't mind."

He smiled, "I don't, but we can get into that later," he grabbed my hips and pulled my legs around his waist, "I've thought about you all day."

I giggled and leaned, taking his lips against mine.

I hope you all enjoyed this chapter! Don't forget to leave me a little review, and have a wonderful week!
