Chapter Seventy-One

BPOV

"Mmmm..." I hummed, stretching the kinks out of my body.

I couldn't remember the last time that I´d slept so soundly.

Edward´s bed was fucking amazing!

And don´t get me started on the smell.

Jesus, each time I inhaled my uterus contracted and my clit throbbed painfully.

Maybe I have time for a little self-loving before Edward gets up, I thought, not hearing any signs of life in the condo.

Yeah, it was just that goddamn intoxicating.

It was going to be a struggle to keep my hands out of my pants all summer.

Between my love/lust for Edward, girl-crush on Rose, and my encounter with Jacob Black, I was going to be one horny teenager for the next two months.

Glad Esme convinced me to buy that rechargeable battery kit.

Something about me spending a fortune on AA batteries. She said, and I quote "The rechargeable kind, always give you more buzz for your buck, dear."

My mouth flew open in horror, and I prayed that the floor would open up and swallow me whole!

I had never been so mortified in all my life!

Esme simply gave my shoulder a squeeze as she prepared to leave the room. "I'm your mother, Sweetheart; it´s my job to know these things." Thankfully, she left it at that, and the conversation was over.

Reaching over, I grabbed my phone off the nightstand to check the time. I had three text messages, so I sat up Indian style in the middle of the bed anxious to see who they were from.

The first was from Esme and Carlisle.

Bella – Hi honey, Carlisle and I are still in Seattle. Our flight's been delayed for a bit, but we´ll call as soon as we can. Love you, Sweetie! Take care, and listen to Edward! – Esme

Next was a message from Emmett. Apparently, he was serious about us going running this morning.

Cinder-B – Time to put your money where your mouth is half-pint! You, me, and E running! Meet me at the elevator 8 am sharp! DON'T MAKE ME COME GET YOU, LITTLE GIRL! – Emmie Bear

I laughed so hard tears slipped from the corners of my eyes; Emmett was just as crazy as everyone said he was, but I already loved him.

And, the big guy loved and had a soft spot for me too, which was evident in the way he allowed me call him Emmie Bear when no one else was around. I just had to promise not to ever do it out in public.

Emmett McCarty truly was my big brother from another mother.

Last night during dinner, Edward mentioned how I loved to run. Emmett, ever the big kid, refused to believe that I was capable of running to the bathroom and back without passing out, much less five miles.

His words, not mine!

Pfft...I could run five miles and barely break a sweat!

Long story short, the gauntlet was thrown, and today we were supposed to, put up or shut up! We were going to Millennium Park to run. Winner got bragging rights, and two hundred dollars.

It´ll be like taking candy from a baby!

On further inspection, I was shocked to see that the last text was a message from none other than, Jacob Black.

Honestly, I didn't think I'd hear from him.

Well, not this soon anyway.

Bells – Sup, Small Fry! See, I told you I´d call (text)! :P I was just thinking about you and wanted to say, "Hey!" Hope to see around campus. Maybe we can get lunch sometime! Later! – Jake

Wow!

My fucking face hurt, I was smiling so big.

I couldn't believe that Jake had actually texted me.

Holy fucking shit!

Oblivious to my surroundings, I nearly shit my pants when Edward plopped down on the bed. "So, little girl," Edward´s voice still sounding gravelly with sleep said. "Since I´m already here, let´s see who´s got you so smiley this early in the morning?" Before I could stop him, Edward grabbed the phone out of my hand and started reading Jake's text. "Bella," Edward growled menacingly.

Oh shit, this does not look good.

And it is only the first day.

Things are about to get interesting! It may get a little bumpy, but just hold on, things will get better! Leave me some love! And remember, everything happens for a reason!

Hasta Mañana...

Krazi
