Chapter 9

When I finally got to Biology, and the class was side tracked by Mr. Banners lecture, I pulled out my notebook and wrote a note to Edward.

I think Alice knows about us.

I pushed it over towards him, he looked at me quizzically, before reading it. His hands tensed.

How?

My siblings were arguing with me at lunch because I got home so late. Alice must have put two and two together. We were both gone. But I don't think she'll tell anyone. I think we're going to have to talk to her though.

He moaned, rubbing his face. I rubbed his thigh. He stopped and looked over at me, and smiled.

………………………………………

I waited until after eight to say I was going to bed. "Well… I'm beat. I think I'll go to bed, night Charlie."

"Are you okay, Bells? It's like eight."

"Yeah I'm great. Well night all!" Both Jasper and Rose raised their eyebrows. What more could they want? I'd made an appearance and everything… I just smiled back at them.

I got dressed quickly, and packed a different pair of shoes in my bag- heels weren't the recommended shoes for climbing walls. I climbed out the window, and walked to Edwards, not wanting to risk Charlie noticing me taking off with his cruiser, or in Rose's car. I'd never hear the end of it.

I walked through his garden, analysing his house- trying to work out which room was his. I waited for about three minutes, wondering how I'd get up there. Finally, I saw a dark silhouette floating across a window upstairs. It looked like a guy. Might as well give it a go… if not, I'll just go stalk his father.

I balanced myself on top of the wall lining the rose garden, and jumped onto the roof of their garage. I stepped onto the trellis that ran along the length of the house, and it swayed underneath my weight. I placed a bit more weight on it, and it held so I started climbing. It was a bit of a stretch reaching the window sill from the trellis but I eventually managed to drag myself up, hanging tightly to the wall.

I looked through the window and I could see through a gap in the curtains, that it was indeed Edward's room. His skin was still glistening from the shower he obviously just had. He had just finished pulling up his pants, and was walking around shirtless. He sat down at his piano and began to play when I tapped on his window lightly three times.

He jumped around, startled. I waved and he laughed when he realized who it was. His mouth suddenly dropped then and he ran over to the window. He wrenched it open "Bella! Get in, get in…" he grabbed hold of my arm tightly and pulled me through. "God, I thought you were going to fall!"

"I'm a little more stable than that, Edward."

He smiled. "What are you doing here?"

I wrapped my arms around his neck, "so you're not glad to see me? Ouch… that hurts, Eddie."

Ignoring my question, he brought his lips to mine then and kissed me sweetly. I weaved one of my hands through his hair, and let my other hand trail down his chest, still dripping with water droplets. He laughed when I pulled away, wiping my now wet hands on him. He shook his saturated hair like a dog, and drenched me with cold water. His hands cupped my ass then and I squealed in surprise. He walked me backwards into a bedpost and kissed me again. His teeth nipped at my lower lip and I moaned loudly, unable to stop myself. His mouth moved to my jaw then and kissed along that line slowly, moving lower and lower.

The door opened suddenly and Alice bounced in the room. "Ed- Oh God! Sorry…" She retreated back the way she came with a horrified look on her face. Edward rested his forehead against mine for a few moments, as we both tried control our laughter at Alice's comic behaviour.

"Alice!" he called.

She poked her head back in the room, her eyes pressed shut tightly. "Yeees...?"

"Come in Alice." Her eyes opened abruptly at the sound of my voice and she smiled.

"Okay." She chirped. She closed the door and walked happily through the room smiling all the way, sitting in the center of Edward's bed. "So… tell me everything!" She crossed her legs and leaned forward eagerly.

"Alice…" Edward said warningly. "We have to be able to trust you with this, okay?" Her eyes opened wide like a child's. She leant forward a little more. Was she always this eccentric?

"Of course you can trust me." She added when he didn't continue.

"You can't tell anyone about us. Ever. I could get fired if anyone finds out. Do you understand?"

"I'm not a two-year old, Edward. I get the concept."

He rolled his eyes. She waited again. "That's all, Alice."

"No, that's not all. Give me details. How? When? Are you sure? Are you dating? Friends with benefits? Are you just screwing? Are you in love? Oh, I bet you're in love. Aaaw…"

"Yes, we're dating Alice. But like I said already. No one can find out. It was only by accident you find out."

"So…what? You're just going to keep it a secret forever?"

"No. We just have to wait until I graduate."

"Oh. Okay…"

"You can leave now, Ali." She didn't move. "Ali, that was not a very subtle hint. You can leave now- and you're not going to tell anyone, not even Jasper, or our parents okay?"

She huffed, "fine," and stalked out of the room.

Edward then made a show of locking the door behind her. He sauntered back over to where I was standing. "I think that we're alone."

"Are you sure, Mr Cullen?" He laughed lightly at the use of his name.

"I'm very sure…"

I pushed him over onto the bed and climbed over him. "Sir, I need some instruction on my biology practical."

He laughed a little, "shut up, Miss Swan." He rolled us back over and kissed down my throat. "You're doing just fine."

His teeth bit into the skin in the crook of my neck. I moaned, loving the feeling. One of my legs was between his, and so, using my knee, I rubbed my leg against him, instantly feeling his reaction. He breathed my name quietly in my ear, and I felt a jolt in my lower abdomen.

I pulled his pants down with my legs, leaving him naked. His mouth was working slowly over my body, unclothing me as he went. He pressed his lips against every inch of my skin, exploring my body completely. When he reached my abdomen I arched my back up towards him, eager and waiting. I felt his mouth twitch against my skin, but he continued on, kissing down my legs, and taking off the last of my clothes. I wrapped my legs around him slowly as he entered me. I let the tips of my toes rub against the back of his leg.

He thrusted slowly and deeply into me. His two arms lifted us off the bed then, and I wrapped my arms and legs around him tightly. Eventually he lowered us back to the bed, so he could thrust harder. Our hips met in his slow rhythm with every thrust. His lips met with mine occasionally, quickly so that he could pull away to look into my eyes again.

At one stage I closed my eyes, and I could feel him all over me, hear his sweet breaths. His fingers trailed along my cheek, "open your eyes, Bella. I need to look at you."

I did and got lost in his green ones again. I didn't even want to blink. It was hypnotising.

I could feel the tension building up within me, and my breathing increased. My insides tightened around him, and he pushed even deeper. He thrusted and I fell over the edge, moaning loudly, not caring who heard me. But Edward wasn't finished yet. He kept going, sending me over another two times before he finally exploded within me.

He kissed me deeply then and I wrapped myself around him, pulling myself even closer. I rolled us over to gain some power.

His hand cupped my chin, forcing me to look into his eyes. "you're so beautiful."

I kissed him chastely, once, twice.

"So are you…"

…………………………………

I wake up the next morning on top of him, using his chest as a pillow. He was breathing in and out, in and out. I looked at the clock- six am. I groan, and get myself dressed. He doesn't wake as I leave, so I leave him there.

I can't be bothered climbing out his window so I chance it by going through the house. I can hear the shower running down the hall, but I couldn't make out any other noises so I figured it was safe. I still got lost, but I didn't come across anybody this morning, and breathed a sigh of relief at managing to exit the house without a confrontation.

I practically run home, hoping that Charlie hadn't noticed my absence. I listen in at the front door, and can hear Charlie rattling around in the kitchen already. I cuss and move over to the side of the house, and climb up to my window. I pull myself in and congratulate myself for not falling.

I shower and take myself downstairs, "You feeling okay, Bells? You look beat."

I look at my reflection in the toaster, the bags under my eyes are huge- hmm… I wonder why I didn't get much sleep?

"I'm great Charlie, just great."

Jasper walks past me to grab a bowl and whispers, "was he great too, Bells?"

I smirk and punch him. He knows nothing…

But yes, yes he was great.

AN: So, will Alice tell anyone? and will anyone else find out? Tell me what you think will happen! Did you like how it's worked out so far... and most importantly, are you wearing socks? i like socks. Keeps my feet all nice and snuggly. Anyway, back to the point!

Thanks so much to everyone who has reviewed, alerted and favourited (i love making up words!) this story... makes me smile! So thanks... And I'm hoping it won't take me too long to get the next chappie up...
