Bella faces consequences. Esme reveals things to Bella, importantly what she has planned for her. Things get a little insane. Thank you for the reviews! Keep reading and reviewing!
Bella was in a state of shock, not because the bag of weed was hers but that she was being set up and by the woman accusing her. "You know me….I would never…"
"Oh, really? What about your boyfriend?"
"Bobby…he wouldn't I'm sure. I've never even seen that before."
"I don't know, Bella, you've been acting strange lately."
"I've been acting strange?", Bella thought.
"Are you sure you two haven't been experimenting with this stuff? I mean, it's better than a lot of other stuff out there but I still can't let this slide."
"So, what are you going to do?"
"Well, you'll have to be punished."
Bella's eyebrows stretched out to her forehead, she couldn't remember the last time she was grounded or in any real trouble. She was well behaved for a girl her age, some people thought of her as a goodie-two-shoes. "But, tomorrow's my birthday. Can it wait?"
"I'm afraid not. Whatever plans you had will have to be for another time." Bella's face dropped, she looked down at the floor. Esme put a hand under her chin and made her look up at her. She smiled, "It's for the best. Besides, we can hangout. I'm sure we can have a lot more fun than with your little friends. Well supervised fun", she looked down at one of Bella's pockets, the one with the outline of a cellphone. "I'll take your phone, please."
Bella handed it over but with descretion, "You're not going to read any of my texts are you?"
"Should I be worried? What else have you been up to?"
"No. But it is a privacy violation. I will be 18 in a few hours. I'm basically an adult."
Esme smiled reassuring her, "I would never look through your things. But maybe losing this for a while will be a good thing."
"Can I at least tell Alice where I'll be?"
"Okay. One text and that's it." She gave her the phone back, once Bella hit send it was grabbed from her. For some reason Bella expected her to slip it in between her boobs, as if this was one of the awful comedies Esme starred in. She held the phone in one hand.
"How long will I be…"
"For as long as I think", Esme interrupted, "But don't you worry, there's all kinds of fun we can have together." The way she said that made Bella feel weird, like she was hinting at something sexual they could do together. Bella was starting to lose it with these mind games. But what if it all was in her head? The flirting? The passes? The vouyerism? But what about the pot? Was it hers? Was she just looking for an excuse to keep her home? Was Esme Cullen really into her daughter, Bella? That would be one for the tabloids, Alice and Jessica would be all over that. Bobby and his friends would want to be in a threesome with them.
Esme snuck a kiss on Bella's cheek before she went to bed. She wanted to sneak onto her computer, check Facebook, Twitter, anything else but knew Esme would hear the clicking, she had super hearing for that. She watched the door, expecting it to creak open. She drifted off to sleep. She had a weird series of dreams, one was her and Bobby, he was lying in bed with her, she was naked but he was fully clothed, he was kind of leering at her and was biting at her fingers. Another was her telling Jessica about Esme having a crush on her. Jessica laughing as controllably but suddenly she said with a straight face said, "I want pictures." The last dream was simply flying, flying over the town, like she was a bird seeing rooftops but then the dream changed quickly to the inside of her house, she was gliding down the halls. Was she sleepwalking? She was coming to, she was sitting up as far as she could tell but she couldn't move. She felt stuck, like she had been bound to the rolling desk chair from her room. There was also something in her mouth, she tried to move a hand up to her mouth to remove it but both of her hands were tied down. She could now feel tight ropes around her wrists on the arms of the chair. She looked down and saw her bare feet were also tied up. Tight ropes were wrapped around her and the chair. She then came to realize the thing in her mouth was some kind of ball and it had straps around her head.
"Are you awake?", a voice rang, "My you are a heavy sleeper."
Bella knew it was Esme, even if she didn't recognize the voice, who else would it have been? She was being wheeled into the kitchen, she could only imagine what horrors awaited her. She was parked in front of the fridge. Esme walked in front of her, Bella tried to scream but it was useless, only muffled speech could come out of her with the ball gag in her. Esme was wearing a red see-through teddy as if it were Valentine's Day and she was getting ready for a romantic evening with her rich, travelling husband. Only this was all for Bella. Her hair was done and she was wearing just a little makeup. Her skin was glistening, Bella could smell some kind of fancy oil.
"I know it's still early, but I just couldn't wait any longer", Bella squirmed, she had to get out of there, that's all that was on her mind. If Esme got naked, not only would that traumatize her for life but she felt that her brain just wouldn't be able to take it, she would just shut down and become a vegetable. "This will all make sense soon, baby. I have a few secrets to reveal to you. I know you've probably been wondering about me lately, likely thinking I've flipped…I guess in a way I have. You see I'm not really your mother…" Bella didn't believe this, it was crazy, if Esme wasn't her mother then who was she? "I know that's hard to believe, I know. I've kept it a secret for so long, but it feels so much better telling you now that you're a big girl. I'm not who I appear to be and soon you will realize that. I know how this is going to sound but I think we're destined to be together…I know, I know, Crazy. You are probably thinking, 'who is this crazy woman? She must be out to lunch.' I love you Bella, with all my heart. I know you love me too. I know you will go along with me on this soon. Just don't hate me, please."
She paced around the kitchen, Bella didn't take her eyes off her, she couldn't do anything but watch, her ropes were too tight to get out of, there was nothing sharp nearby to cut them, Esme was in complete control, she was like a wicked stepmother in a fairytale here only she had some pretty demented ideas. "I thought long and hard about this, I thought about this for months. 6 months ago I would never have thought to tie you up and roll you in here but I was a different person then. I started having feelings for you. You're so beautiful and talented, I tried to get that out of my head but I couldn't. I had dreams that kept me up at night. I would walk in on you and watch you sleep. I so desperately wanted to crawl into bed with you but I used all of my will power to stop myself. I saw how you looked at me, that's when I had the idea that you felt the same way but didn't realize it. I started dressing up for you in the morning to see if you did or I was really losing it. But I saw a spark in your eyes yesterday morning and I knew the truth. Even if you can't admit it, I know you feel the same way." Bella closed her eyes, she wanted nothing more than to wake up from this horrible nightmare.
"Oh and Bella", Bella looked up at her, "Happy birthday!"
I will try to get another chapter written soon. Things will get more interesting!
