Chapter 4 - It is On!
Why is my face really warm? And my waist? I open my eyes a little and immediately close them again because the sun glaring from the giant window is burning my sockets. I start to turn but realise I am pinned to the bed by something over my waist. I turn my head and everything comes rushing back.
I made out with Edward?
I try to control my breathing and I can already feel the blush covering my face. I am led in bed with Edward, just in his boxers, while wearing his clothes and he is spooning me! I think I shall have a heart attack. I have to go. This is going to be so embarrassing when he wakes up and sees me. He was drunk so he is going to think I tried to seduce him and will probably never speak to me again!
I reluctantly move his arm from around my waist and slide out from under it and out from the covers. I climb out of my side and start to move towards the bathroom when I hear him move about. I freeze praying that he doesn't wake up but when I look behind back, I can see his very awake self, leaning on one elbow, smirking at me with his eyebrow raised.
"Where do you think you're going?" I straighten out of my sneaky looking position and stare at the floor biting my lip.
"Bathroom?" It sounded more like a question.
"Okay but then come straight back to bed, it's only nine thirty and Alice is at Jasper's so you don't have to worry about 'Bella Barbie' time yet." My head shot up and I winced at the crick in my neck. I just nodded blankly and turned to enter the bathroom. I sat on the toilet to control my speeding heartbeat.
Okay Bella, calm down, perhaps this is all some weird dream?
Wow, good theory there stupid! My brain just decided to create some weird Edward induced coma in which he saves me from mad-Mike's clutches, kisses me and then invites back to his bed in the morning? I'm pretty sure that if this was my dream there would be less Mike and more kissing involved, most likely less clothes! Not even I could imagine Edward's body that perfectly.
Okay, no dream! Then what are you doing in here? Get back to that bed woman!
No need to tell me twice.
I shook myself from my strange inner monologue and stood up. I looked at my reflection in the mirror and grimaced at what I saw there. How could anyone find an interest in me? Surprisingly, there was no big obvious black eye. It just looked like I had not slept in a few days. Weird, since I normally bruise like a peach.
I sighed while running my hands through my hair and walked back into the bedroom. Edward was led there with his eyes shut, one arm behind his head and the other led across his naked stomach which was on show, the covers just starting below his stunning abs.
Is that drool Bella?
I blushed and was glad he couldn't see me ogling him.
"Nice show?" My eyes widened and my blush travelled over my whole body.
"I h-have no idea what you're talking about" I managed to get out but even I heard the lie in my voice. He turned and smirked at me and patted the bed next to him.
"Psssh, come on Bells, I know you were checking out my bazillionaire muscles!" He said as he winked at me. I snuggled down under the covers and cocked an eyebrow at him.
"Pleaseeee. You are way too vain for your own good...That isn't attractive." He opened his mouth in shock and pretended to look hurt.
"Are you saying I'm not attractive?" He pouted his bottom lip at me and I laughed at his puppy dog face.
"Nope, I don't think you're attractive at all. I find you quite repulsive." I smirked at him and his shocked face and turned my face away.
I could feel the electricity flow through my face when he placed his long fingers under my chin. I sucked in a shaky breath once I realised his lips only 1 inch from my own, his sweet breath hitting my face. I stared into his gorgeous green eyes which were blazing into my own and felt my eyes travel to his luscious plump bottom lip. I bit my own lip, imagining it was his between my teeth. He came so close that his lip barely brushed against mine and then...
"If that's your reaction to repulsive, then I would love to see your reaction to attractive". With those whispered words, a smirk and a quick peck on the lips he pulled away and I could feel the blush cover my whole body, not just from the hot moment but from frustration. It was on!
"Oh, you think you are so suave Mr. Cullen?"
"Ooooo Mr. Cullen? I am in trouble" He said cockily with his sexy eyebrow raised. I thought it was time for some payback. He was led back down on his back staring up at me, I leaned down with the sexist smirk I could muster and placed my lips next to his ear.
"You are so much trouble, Edward...that you're lucky I am not giving you a spanking". And with that I pulled away, doing a dance inside at the darkness in Edward's eyes and the shock evident on his face.
The rest of the morning went smoothly, except for Edward's sly smirks at me. Every time he would look at me I would smirk back but could feel the blush threatening to cover my face. I was actually relieved when Alice arrived home.
"Hey you two, have a good time last night?" I blushed and looked at Edward who was staring at the cereal he was eating.
"Uh-yea it was alright"
"Oh Bella! Your eye! What an asshole! Edward I hope you hurt him pretty bad!" Edward looked up with a confused look on his face.
"What are you talking about?" Alice's and my head snapped round to his face. Alice tilted her head to the side and looked at me with confusion.
"D-Don...Don't you remember last night?" He looked at me funny and squinted his eyes. I grew even more worried once he stood up and walked around the breakfast table to me. He placed his hands on my face and at any other time I would have sighed at the comforting contact but at the moment I was screaming inside and I could feel my breathing speeding up.
"What the fuck happened to your face?" His face contorted with anger as I felt the tears fill my eyes.
"You don't remember anything?" Alice was shocked. Edward never forgot anything, even when drunk. He didn't even seem that drunk.
"No! I would have been out the door to murder the son of a bitch this morning if I had known! Who was it?" Edward was talking to Alice now.
"Mike...he cornered her as she was heading upstairs, Jaz told me so Bella can tell you the rest". Alice looked at me with sympathy and I could tell she knew something else had gone on which had nothing to do with Mike.
"Bella, do I need to kick his ass?" He was bearing holes into my eyes and, even though I was ecstatic that he cared so much for me, I could feel my heartbreaking at the fact he did not remember what happened between us. This is why I stopped him. I knew this would happen.
"N-no...You already did last night, he was in pretty bad shape. Em and Jaz had to pull you off him". His anger seemed to ebb at that but I was still having a panic attack on the inside. He smiled at me and released my face too soon.
"...lucky I didn't kill the bastard". I would have normally laughed at this, but at this moment I just wanted to be alone.
"Knock, knock!" Great, just what I needed right now. She would never let herself in if Esme was here. Esme didn't particularly like Tanya and reluctantly let her in when she was here.
I winced as I heard her tacky heels hit the floor as she made her way to us. Who the hell says knock knock as they come in anyways?
I saw Edward's brow furrow as he looked towards the door before he looked to the floor. I saw as her strawberry blonde hair bounced as she walked in.
"Hey babe!" She walked towards Edward and pecked him on the cheek.
"Hey". Although pleased at his emotionless response I couldn't help but feel jealous of the fact that she had him.
"Oh...Hi, Bell-ah!" She smirked at me and I looked up ready to take her head off. I was so not in the mood today!
"Um...Bella! Come upstairs with me for a minute". I looked at Alice and saw that she was hinting with her eyes to comply.
"Um...see you later Edward." And with that I walked upstairs with Alice watching me closely.
Please Review =)
