Chapter 8
"Waiting is a trap. There will always be reasons to wait. The truth is, there are only two things in life, reasons and results, and reasons simply don't count."-Dr. Robert Anthony
Bella's POV
I sat very still in my seat. I wasn't sure how to respond to Edward. The little voice in my head kept telling me "this is what you've wanted for so long you silly girl…just give in!". I knew better though. I was going to wait to sleep with Edward…yes that was the plan. The voice in my head kept nagging "Why wait? Edward's a good guy…he loves you…you love him…perfect". "No" I thought. "I want to...but no". "Common…" the voice chimed in my head. At that very moment I felt my walls crashing down around me. All reason and responsibility were going to be thrown out the window. "Screw the consequences" I thought to myself. I then realized I had been battling the voice inside my head for awhile now and I needed to get back to talking to Edward.
"Soon?" I asked Edward "Can we do it soon?" I pleaded. Edward just gawked at me. I could see he was at a loss for words. We had talked about being intimate before and I had told him I wanted to wait till I was ready. I wasn't sure if I was ready at this very moment though…
"Yes Bella" he managed to blurt out… "But only when you're ready…there is no need to rush if you don't want to…" he whispered. He looked very serious in that moment.
"When I'm ready you'll be ready then?" I asked. Thank God he had offered me time. We were going to do this when I was ready and maybe less self conscious…
" I'll be ready…" he informed me. His eyes were sincere.
"Good. I don't want a half ass attempt okay? It needs to be perfect. Understand lover?" I giggled while I asked him the question
" It will be perfect…I'll make sure of it…lover" he smiled up at me as he spoke. He paused before speaking again. "Bella can I ask you something?"
"Sure…" I said wondering where his train of thought was going.
"Can I PLEASE kiss you now? I know I don't have the clear gummy but this recent turn of events I think deserves just one tiny isty bisty…". I didn't allow time for him to finish his plea. I practically smashed my lips onto his. Instantly his hands were around my waist pulling me closer to him. My hands tangled in his hair. I traced his bottom lip with my tongue. A rush of energy surged through my body as he moved his hands from my waste to my ass and squeezed before continuing down to my thighs. The intensity of our kiss increased. I was beginning to get light headed from what I figured was oxygen deprivation but I kept going. I moved my lips to his neck and began kissing him…harder and harder until I gave him a light bite. He moaned. I knew I hadn't hurt him he was just enjoying the fun. I found the collar of his polo shirt and "popped" it up before I pulled away from our embrace.
"There's going to be a mark there…leave the collar up" I said with a wink when I noticed him trying to pull it back down to its original state. Edward just stared at me, panting.
"You're feisty you know that Miss. Swan?" he said trying to regain his breathe.
"I think someone has told me that once or twice before. Hope you enjoyed that! Now shall we get back to our game?" I questioned.
"Oh I enjoyed that alright….but if we must get back to the game I guess it's my turn to pick." He said as he motioned for me to hand him the candy bag. He pulled out an orange gummy.
"Fantasy time then Mr. Cullen" I said making him aware of the answer he had to give me. He had a devious smile on his face.
"Okay" he complied with me. "Brace yourself for this one sweetheart…"
