Chapter 4
BPOV
It's been a couple weeks since I have started talking to Edward on the phone. He's been really busy with his projects, but he calls me every night. We talk for a few hours, getting to know each other and making each other laugh. We talk about what our future might hold, and he sometimes talks about moving here so that we could build our relationship. I wasn't sure if he was serious or not, so I didn't question him about it.
I was still getting sick and I didn't know why. I felt perfectly fine. I knew that Alice was starting to notice things, because she keeps looking at me.
I went to work and found her sitting at my desk behind a large vase of flowers.
"Hey Alice, what's with the flowers?" I said sitting down on the chair.
"There for you," she said smiling at me," they came this morning."
"Oh," was all I could say.
I knew that Alice was about to interrogate me about why I was feeling so ill.
I would just have to suck it up and try to lie. Shit but I was a terrible lair.
"So Bella can you tell me why you are getting sick and that you look like you have gained a bit of weight? Hmm?"
"Shit, Shit, Shit. What do I say?"
"Alice I have no idea what you are talking about. I'm pretty sure I just have a bug. I'm sure it will pass soon. Beside I have not gained any weight."
"Keep telling yourself that Bella. Remember I'm the one who dresses you so you can't hide it from me. I'm telling you, you have gained some weight.
"I have not," I said shaking my head as I felt around my waist. Hmm...maybe I have. I could feel a slight bulge around the middle. Maybe I have put on a few pounds.
I didn't want to tell Alice that because then she would start her million question quiz. Other than me getting sick every now and then.
I would give it some time. Maybe I was just gaining some weight. Who knows.
"Alice why are you here anyway?"
"Oh I just wanted to see how you are doing? Have you talked to Edward lately?"
"We try to talk at least once a day if we cant talk we either email or text. Why do you ask?"
I could tell she was thinking about something real hard. I saw the wheels turning in her head. She was up to something or just trying to figure out why I was gaining weight.
"I'm just wondering if you or him are going to make the trip to see each other. You like him, and I think you would make a perfect couple."
"Alice, you are sincerely lost your mind. We are talking and seeing where things might go. I don't think we are ready to visit one another."
I picked up the card and sat across from her as I read it.
My Bella,
There's no real reason for these flowers except they are beautiful, but not as beautiful as you are. Nothing can compare to your beauty. I hope that you have a wonderful day and just know that I am here thinking of you.
Talk to you later,
Yours,
Edward.
I couldn't help but smile as I put the card down, totally forgetting that Alice was sitting there.
"What did he say that has you smiling like that?"
"Alice, I don't read the cards Jasper gives you. Why should I let you read mine?"
"Because I don't get a huge ass smile from things Jasper writes," she smirked at me.
"Well, maybe he needs to take lessons from Edward," I said handing her the card.
I watched as she read it and her reaction was the same as mine, a huge ass smile.
"See, you smiled just like me."
"Bella, that man is over the top in love with you," she all but shrieked.
"Alice, quiet down. We don't need everyone rushing in here. He is not, maybe he likes me a lot, but over the top in love with me. No not at all," I said shaking my head.
"Whatever you say Bella, but mark my words, he is in love with you."
"Alice, I don't think so..." I couldn't finish my sentence because I had to run to the bathroom.
I shut the door and leaned over the toilet. I threw up everything I had in my stomach.
I could hear Alice knocking at the door.
Lifting my head up, I told her I'd be right out.
She opened the door as I was rinsing out my mouth.
"Bella, what the hell? When are you going to admit that there is something going on? I think you need to go the the doctor and get a test. I think you are pregnant."
"Alice, I'm not pregnant. There's no way that I am, Jacob always used protection," I said as images of Edward and I filled my mind.
"Hey where did you go? You looked so far away."
"I was just thinking. I'm not pregnant. I'm not," I said to her. But more than anything I think I was trying to convince myself.
"Don't you have some work you could be doing?" I asked her.
"Yeah, I guess. But do you want to go to lunch? We could stop at the drugstore on the way back," she said as she walked to the door.
"Lunch, sure. The drugstore, no."
"We'll see," she sang as she went out the door.
"Crazy little pixie. I can't be pregnant, can I?"
Maybe I could be. I honestly don't remember if we used any protection. If I was how would he feel about that. Hell we have just been talking for a little bit. This would not be cool.
"I can't be pregnant." I kept telling myself.
I went back to my desk and started to do the invoices for the week, when the intercom buzzed.
"Hello," I said.
"You have a phone call on line one," my secretary said.
"Could you please take a message. I'm really busy at the moment."
"Yes ma'am."
"Thank you."
I went back to my work, but soon Laney came into my office.
"Bella, this message is marked urgent. I thought you might want to talk care of it right away," she smiled at me as she sat the message on my desk.
"Okay," I said looking up, but Laney was no longer there. But Edward was standing there holding a purple orchid in his hands.
"Hello beautiful," he said as he handed me the flower.
"Edward...what are you doing here?" I said as I took the flower from his hand.
"I had a conference, so I thought I'd come see you. I hope that's okay, that I didn't tell you. I wanted to surprise you."
"That you did, Edward."
I was not sure if I should hug or even kiss him. I smelled the flower and it smelled so good.
I could not believe he was standing here in my office.
"Bella c'mere."
I walked closer to him and he pulled me into a hug and then I felt him kiss the top of my head.
God I wish he would put those lips on mine. It would feel so good to feel then against me again.
I really have missed him like hell.
He pulled back and looked into my eyes then he looked at my lips as in asking for permission.
I took that as a sign that it was okay to kiss him
I wrapped my arms around his neck and crushed my lips to his.
He moaned into the kiss and I could not help but to move closer to him.
I felt him put his arms around my waist and pull me closer than ever.
I had to pull away to breathe.
"Edward," I panted out.
"Bella."
"Wow that kiss was something. I have never been kissed like that before."
"I'm glad that I could be the first to curl your toes Bella."
I just started to laugh and he joined in with me. God I was so happy to see him but I still was not sure what to think about all of this.
"Edward how long are you here for?"
"I'm going to be here for two days," he said as he looked over at me.
"Where are you staying?" I asked.
"I was going to stay at the hotel that the conference is at."
"Um, you could stay with me," I said nervously..
"Are you sure?" he asked as he ran his hand down my back.
"Yeah, I'm sure about it."
"Okay, sounds good," he said as he kissed my forehead.
"Do you want to go now?" I asked.
"Don't you have to work?" he smirked.
"I know the boss, so I can leave whenever I want," I smirked at him before kissing him.
I leaned up and kissed his lips. It was odd how comfortable I felt with him. It was never like this with Jacob.
Just as he started to deepen the kiss, the door of my office flew open and Alice was there.
"Bella, are you ready to go to lunch and to the drug...store," she trailed off when she saw us kissing.
I pulled away from him, but not out of his arms.
"I've had a change of plans, I'm going home now and I might be taking the day off tomorrow." I smiled up at Edward.
"Okay, but don't I get an introduction. I mean I am your best friend."
"Edward, this is Alice, my overly hyper best friend."
"Nice to meet you Alice," Edward said as he extended his hand to her.
"Edward, nice to finally meet you. You look nothing like that asshole cousin of yours."
"Thanks I guess," he laughed.
"Alice, rain check on lunch."
"Sure, Bella. Have fun and don't do anything I wouldn't do," she said as she wiggled her eyebrows at me.
"On second thought do whatever you'd think I'd do."
I could feel the blush starting to form on my cheeks. She finally left and I looked at the floor.
I felt Edward's fingers trailing up my cheek.
"This is beautiful," he said as he kissed my lips.
I pulled away, "No its not. Its such an annoying habit."
"It looks good on you though."
"Whatever, let's go before the pixie gets back. By the way thank you for the flowers, they are beautiful."
"Like the card said, they aren't as beautiful as you, Bella."
Damn the blush again.
I grabbed his hand as we left my office.
Once in the elevator, he pushed me against the wall and his lips found mine. He kissed me along my neckline down to my collarbone and then back to my ear.
He nipped at my earlobe and whispered, "I've missed you sweet girl."
Hummed...in response. I could not for the life of me say anything. His attack on me felt so good and wanted.
I brought my legs around his waist while he held me against the elevator wall. I grabbed a hold of his hair and tugged. He moaned into my mouth.
"You like don't you?"
"Yes Bella I like everything you do to me. I want you so bad, please tell me you want me too," he panted out.
"Ye...yes I want you. I want you to fuck me pn every surface of my place. I do not want a place left unmarked."
Finally the elevator dinged letting us know that we had reached our floor.
I straightened my clothes and I watched as he adjusted himself.
We walked out of the elevator hand in hand to the garage. I took my keys out and unlocked the doors.
Once we were standing right in front of my car I throw the keys at him.
He just looks at me with a puzzled look on his face.
I wanted him to drive so I could tease him some.
"You want me to drive sweet girl?"
"Yes please."
He just smiled at me and grabbed my hand leading me to the passenger door and opening it for me. Once I was in he closed the door.
I watched him walk around to the driver side and damn his ass looks so damn good, like I could eat it.
"So Miss Swan where to?"
"Hmm...here I will put in the GPS and you can follow those instructions. I might be a little occupied for a bit."
"Shit Bella please telling me you are joking."
"Nope," I said popping the "p".
"Um...Bella before you get to occupied with whatever you have planned can I ask you a question?"
"Sure what is it?"
"What did Alice mean when she asked if you are ready for lunch and then to the drug store? I mean is everything okay? She stopped once she saw me standing there."
Fuck what the hell am I suppose to say to that. I could not let him know what Alice thinks is wrong with me.
I'm sure that would scare him off. "What to say, what to say. Think Bella think."
"We just needed to get some personal things that's all Edward. Everything is just fine."
I hope everything is fine.
"Okay I just wanted to make sure. Alice seemed fine until she saw me and stopped real fast."
"That's just Alice Edward. Trust me you should be thankful she stopped. I don't call her Pixie for no reason."
He just laughed and we left the parking garage.
The converasion stopped and I decided it was time for some teasing.
I leaned over the console and placed a kiss right below his ear while taking my right hand and rubbing it up his leg to his thigh up a bit more.
I felt him stiffen under my touch.
I also noticed that his pants started to get a tent in them. Good I was doing my job.
"Bella you have to stop before I pull over and have my wicked way with you."
I just kept on doing what I was doing. I wanted to see how far I could go before he would break.
"Edward my sexy handsome man I actually like what I'm doing and if I'm correct you like it to from the looks of your pants."
"BELLA I DO but we have to wait until we get to your home."
Getting as close to his ear as possible I asked, "What is it that you are going to do to me when we get there sexy?"
"Oh you have no idea what I'm going to do to you. You have got me so worked up that I'm don't think I will be able to control myself with you."
Biting down on his ear lobe I whispered, "I hope you are planning on fucking me fast and hard," I said seductively.
I did not realize that we were at my house until the car jolted to a halt. Edward got out and ran to my side, opened the door and pulled me out.
He pushed me up against the car.
"Bella I promise you I will be doing a lot more than fucking you believe me. You have no idea what you do to me."
"Yes I do because you do the same to me."
I pulled him down to me and I crushed my lips to his. We both moaned into the kiss.
I placed my hands on his chest and let them travel down to his crotch area. I palmed him and he moaned even louder this time.
Next thing I knew I was off my feet and he was carrying to the front door rather quickly.
I unlocked the door. Soon as we are in the door I was up against the door.
