I woke up and forgot where I was. I was confused at first but then I remembered where I was for the weekend. I looked at my cell phone and saw that it was 9:30am. Not too bad. At least I got some decent sleep. And hey, no nightmares. Unless you count the real one that consisted of that giant pain that came in and embarrassed the hell out of me.
When I woke up Edward wasn't in the room. I got up and ran into the bathroom. The door was probably unlocked and I didn't want anyone, mainly Emmett, to come barging in again. I went to the bathroom, brushed my hair and then my teeth. I walked out and Emmett was at the door. Doesn't this boy know what privacy is?
"Hey, Edward asked me…" then he stared at me. I didn't know what he was looking at. I looked at myself. "Oh my god Rose, she's still wearing it!" He was laughing so much. I ran over, let out a loud growl at him and slammed it shut. I heard him still laughing.
I got clothes out of my suitcase and stomped into the bathroom. I quickly got changed and washed my face. I felt a little better. Now I just have to face going downstairs without dying of embarrassment.
I heard a knock on the door.
"Go away Emmett."
"Love, it's me, Edward."
I opened the door.
"Edward, your brother is a jackass." I said this while walking past him to put my toiletries back in my bag.
"I know, I'm terribly sorry about that."
I turned to him, "It's not your fault. It's just that unless you plan on locking that door tonight, I'm not wearing anything that reveals any part of my body."
He smiled. "Don't worry, as soon as you're ready for bed tonight I'll lock it."
"Thank you." I leaned in and kissed him. But this time the kiss was a little more intense. We do this at times when we are alone and none of his family members are around. Edward knows I'm not big on PDA. I get embarrassed.
We were really getting into the kiss. I was trying to hold back but I had a hard time doing so. And then of course it happened…
Emmett swung open our door and took a picture of us kissing.
"Damn it Rose, she got changed already! I was going to blow it up and hang it on Edward's bedroom wall." He seemed disappointed at first but then his mood changed instantly. "But they were making out! It's better than nothing!" He ran off.
I just put my hand over my face and sighed. Does the torturing ever end?
"Great, Edward, now I have to go downstairs and face your family. My face is going to be beat red."
"Don't worry about them. I know you will be embarrassed regardless of what I say but I'm just letting you know that if anyone thinks bad thoughts about you I'll beat them up for you."
"That's very kind of you but you don't have to do that. Besides, I'm sure Tanya will have something to say."
"What do you mean?"
"Well she obviously likes you. And she'll probably comment that I'm a whore or something because I was dressed in the lingerie. And then she'll start thinking that I don't satisfy you and how she could fulfill your every need."
He stopped me by putting his finger on my lips. "Bella, I'm not going to say that Tanya won't think that because she probably will, but let me tell you, you satisfy me in every way just by existing. I am the one that wants to wait not you, so don't worry about that part. And you are anything but a 'whore,' as you put it, so please, relax and come downstairs with me."
I took a deep breath. "Okay."
I took his hand and we walked down the stairs.
Everyone was scattered downstairs. Emmett and Jasper were in the 'game room' playing Wii. Alice, Rosalie, and Tanya were looking through magazines in the one sitting room. And everyone else was in the living room talking and laughing. It seemed like it was going to be a nice day.
I waited in the family room. I'll be right back. I'm going to go ask Carmen something.
I stood there waiting awkwardly. Then I saw Tanya coming over. Oh geez, here we go.
"Oh, hi Tanya." I acted as though I was surprised to see her.
"Hi Bella. How did you sleep?"
"Um, fine thank you. It's very generous for you all to let me stay in one of the guest rooms. I'm sure it's not often you have someone who is sleeping in the house." I tried to joke a little, to lighten the mood.
She just looked at me. "Yeah, I think you're the first."
"Oh, really. That's nice, I guess." I wasn't' sure how to respond to that.
"So, are you doing anything today?" I was trying to act interested in what she was doing for the day.
"Well, it is Halloween so we'll be decorating and putting together costumes to wear. We are also inviting a few other friends of ours. But don't worry, they're 'vegetarians' too."
"Oh right, I forgot that it was Halloween. That's great about inviting some friends. But if they weren't vegetarians I could leave. This is your home and I wouldn't want my presence to be a hassle."
"That's very sweet of you Bella. But that won't be necessary. Edward wouldn't be very happy with us and they are vegetarians so no need to worry. Plus according to Edward, you're practically family now, so I wouldn't dream of not including you in family events."
I just nodded. "Thank you."
Alice yelled over, "Tanya, we need your opinion on something, can you come here?" I looked up and Alice winked at me. She was saving me. I smiled at her and she took that as a thank you.
As soon as Tanya was gone Edward was at my side.
"I'm sorry about that love, I was distracted. What were you and Tanya discussing?"
"You didn't hear?" I smirked at him.
"Like I said, distracted."
"Right. No, she just letting me know that they're inviting friends. And I let her know that if they needed me to leave I would. She said that wouldn't be necessary because they're also vegetarians."
He took his eyes off of me and looked up at Tanya. She was smiling over at us and then she looked back at the magazine and continued to talk to Alice.
"Edward, please, let it go. She said that I didn't have to leave so there are no problems. Okay? They're going to be decorating all day. I'm sure I wouldn't be much help so how about me and you do something together today?"
He was still looking over at Tanya. I grabbed his chin and pulled him toward me. "Edward, let it go please. I don't want to be the cause of problems. I'm not officially part of the family yet so I don't need to be labeled the problem causer just yet."
That caught his attention.
"I like the sound of that."
"What? Me being a problem causer?" I laughed.
"No. You're talking about in the future being officially part of my family."
"Well, I will, won't I?" I put my arms around his neck and stared into his eyes.
"Oh yes, most definitely." We both smiled at each other and I leaned in for a kiss.
"Edward?"
"Yes?"
"I have an idea of how we can get back at Tanya. I think it will benefit us too."
He looked at me in confusion yet with curiosity.
I texted it in my phone and then just pushed delete after he read it. I didn't want her to hear me. He smiled and I couldn't help but giggle.
We went over and sat on the couch.
We were whispering to each other about nonsense. Then while he was whispering he started nibbling on my ear. I was giggling and that caught Tanya's attention.
I turned my head some to face him and he started to move down my neck. I let out a gasp and closed my eyes. It felt so good but knowing it was getting her mad made it even better.
He brought his lips back up to come into contact with mine. It started out light and innocent but then it got more intense. Finally he let me slip my tongue in his mouth. I let out a moan. He put his hand behind my neck and I put my hands through his hair. We did this for a few minutes and then someone cleared their throat. We stopped and I wiped my lips. I turned and it was Tanya. She was standing over us.
"Bella, Esme made you some brunch. She wants you to come and eat it before it gets cold." She then walked away with a disgusted look on her face.
I turned around and looked at Edward.
"So?"
He played with my hair. "Well, first of all, that was amazing. Second, she was cursing in her head. Mainly about you but only because she wishes your lips were hers."
"Exactly. She wishes." Then I grabbed his neck and pulled him to me. We had one more passionate kiss before I let go. "I don't want to keep Esme waiting. Plus I'm getting hungry." He smiled, stood up, and took my hand to lead me to the kitchen.
Esme cooked me scramble eggs and toast.
"Honey, do you want jelly or butter?" Esme asked.
"Jelly please." I answered without taking my eyes off of Edward, who sat across from me at the kitchen table.
"Would you like grape or strawberry?"
I was sipping my milk and staring into Edward's eyes. "Grape," Edward answered for me. He didn't take his eyes off me while he answered either. I smiled as he spoke.
Esme looked over since Edward answered. She saw us and I could see out of the corner of my eye that she just shook her head while smiling.
She put the grape jelly in front of me and I began to spread it on my toast. "Thank you for the brunch Esme." She turned and smiled. I took a bite and saw that Carmen and Eleazar came into the kitchen. I wiped my mouth to speak to them.
"Carmen, Eleazar, I wanted to thank you for having me here in your home. It's beautiful."
"Thank you Bella."
"Also, thank you for going food shopping on my behalf. It really wasn't necessary. I could have gone to the local market to get something for myself."
The laughed a little to themselves. "Nonsense. You are family and we take care of family."
I couldn't help but blush and smile. "Thank you." Edward squeezed my hand and smiled at me. I couldn't help but smile back.
I was done breakfast shortly after I was done speaking to Carmen and Eleazar.
"Wow. I ate that in like 5 minutes. I guess I was hungry." I laughed to myself.
"I would think so. You hadn't eaten since the plane ride yesterday."
"True."
"I'll be right back. I'm going to go wash up. I have some jelly on my hands."
"Okay love. I'm going to see what my brothers are up to."
I nodded and headed upstairs.
When I got to the bathroom I started to wet a hand towel to wipe my mouth and hands. I then grabbed my toothbrush to brush my teeth to get the taste out of my mouth. I looked in the mirror and saw Tanya at the bathroom doorway.
"Oh! Tanya, you scared me."
"Oh, sorry Bella."
"Can I help you with something?"
She shook her head and walked toward me. "Um, no. Just seeing how you're making out here."
"Oh, well, I'm doing just fine, thanks. Everyone has been really nice and generous."
"So you and Edward…. You guys are pretty serious, huh?"
"Yeah, I would say so."
"How serious?" She seemed stern. Like she was demanding answers.
"Pretty serious. I mean, when a guy tells his girlfriend that he is a vampire and then takes you to his family's house which is filled with vampires, I think that is where it is can be considered 'serious'."
"Have you… you know?"
"Tanya I think that is a little personal. That is between Edward and me." I started to walk past her, out of the bathroom.
"I'm just saying, if I was with Edward I'd want to let everyone know how far we've gone."
"Well Edward and I like our privacy. We don't like to draw attention."
"You sure didn't mind while making out downstairs."
"Oh right, that. Sorry, sometimes we get caught up with each other and forget where we are." I couldn't help but have a slight smile on my face. She probably didn't enjoy that.
She walked closer to me, only inches away from my face. I was somewhat against the wall. "Let me just say… you may think that you're serious with Edward but I can give him something you can't – what every man wants. A guy can only hold out for so long. They grow tired and move on."
I was shaking my head… "Edward's not –" I was cut off.
Tanya looked over at the bedroom doorway.
"Tanya what the hell are you doing?" Edward looked mad. I was relieved.
She backed off of me. I brushed my hair out of my face and felt my heart beating through my chest. I told myself I wouldn't let her get to me and here I am, worked up over something she said.
"What? Bella and I were just talking. You know, getting to know each other." She looked back at me, then to Edward, and finally walked out the door.
I didn't say anything. I wasn't going to let her get to me. Edward said she might try to pull something and for me to just ignore her.
Edward rushed over to me.
"Are you okay love?"
"Yeah I'm okay."
"What did she want? I couldn't hear downstairs. Emmett's thoughts were screaming while playing the video game and I couldn't make out other anyone's thoughts or conversations."
"Nothing. She was just trying to scare me."
"How so?" He took a strand of my hair and put it behind my ear.
"Just telling me she can give you more than I can and that you'll grow tired of waiting... about, you know."
"What?..." I think it clicked after a few seconds. "Bella, there is nothing she could give me that would outweigh being with you. Nothing." He had to emphasis the 'nothing' to make himself clear.
I smiled at him. I love him so much.
"I love you so much."
"I love you more."
I smiled. "Don't start Mr. Cullen."
"Yes ma'am." I turned at gave him a death stare. He put his hands up in defense. "I'm sorry, I mean 'yes miss'."
"Better." I couldn't help but slowly pull his shirt to me and kiss him.
I went over to my suitcase. "Edward, why do I have a bathing suit in my suitcase?"
He was lying on the bed. "Bathing suit? Oh, right." He laughed to himself.
"What?"
"They have a hot tub here. Alice probably thought we'd want to use it. It's okay, we don't have to."
I pondered for a minute. I could use some hot soothing water. Plus I don't think Tanya would enjoy that too much. I turned around, "No, you know what. I'd really like to. The hot water would really feel good on my muscles plus a nice massage from a certain someone would be really nice."
He smiled. "Alright then, get changed and we'll head down when you're ready."
I headed into the bathroom. I am so glad I shaved before we came here. I can do my armpits real fast but at least I don't need to do anywhere else. I looked at the bathing suit. It was a bikini. It was navy blue, of course. The bottoms had strings on the sides that tied together. And then the top was a halter-top and it made my boobs look great. That's a relief considering I barely have any boobs. I couldn't help but laugh to myself. I took a few glances of myself in the mirror and then stepped out of the bathroom.
Edward was already in his bathing suit bottoms and a t-shirt.
"So?"
He turned around to face me. His mouth dropped.
"Is it that bad? I'll go change. We don't have to go in." I started to walk in the bathroom when Edward grabbed my hand.
"Bella, you look amazing. You are so beautiful." I blushed and looked down.
"You realize this is the most of your skin I've ever seen? And I have to say, it is memorizing."
"Okay, okay, don't drool all over yourself."
He smiled and grabbed 2 towels.
"Wait, Edward. Can I wear one of your shirts until we get to the hot tub and then I'll take it off?"
"Of course. Here, wear this one."
I put it on and we headed downstairs.
I saw Tanya stare as we walked past her. Edward whispered, "Ignore her."
It was freezing outside. "Edward, make sure you put the water on extra hot so when you get it in it doesn't get too cold."
"Right. Good thinking."
I took off the shirt and I heard him gasp. I saw him looking at me and his mouth was hanging open. I walked next to him to get in and right before I did I looked at him and lifted up his chin to close his mouth. He finally snapped out of it and I started laughing.
"What's so funny?" He was oblivious.
"Nothing." I laughed to myself a little more.
I carefully stepped in. It was really hot. "Ah, the heat feels so good. Are you coming in or just going to stand there?"
He smiled and got in. He sat next to me. I sat there for a minute with my head leaned against the back. I felt too distant from Edward even though he was only a foot away. I leaned up and moved over to where I sat between his legs. I leaned back and my whole back was leaning against his chest. I heard him gasp and I giggled to myself.
"Are you going to be okay Edward?"
I heard him swallow hard. "If not I can move over to the other seat." I started to get up to move across from him when he grabbed my hips and pulled me back to him. I once again, giggled.
I couldn't help but smile. "You know, I like that."
"Like what?," he asked.
"Your hands… on my body. It feels so good." I took his arms and put them around me, across my stomach. I leaned my head back and it rested on his shoulder.
"Edward, you feel amazing."
"Aren't I cold?"
"The heat of the water is making up for it. But even if you were cold I wouldn't move. I'm loving this position too much."
"So am I." He started to suck on my ear and kiss my neck. I couldn't help but gasp.
"Mmm. That feels nice."
"Just nice?" He teased.
"Someone's feeling a little cocky." I smiled.
"I'm just trying to satisfy my lady."
"Well, you're succeeding." I opened my eyes to look at him. He leaned down and kissed me. I twisted my body around so I would have better access to his lips. I heard him whimper. I pulled back.
"What?"
"I can't feel your body with you turned around like that."
I gave him a smirk. "So you miss my body, do you?"
"Very much so."
"Well then…" I started shifting my body around. He gave me a weird look because I wasn't moving to where I was before, I was now facing him.
"What are…?"
"Shh…"
I was now facing him. I put my knees on both sides of him. I was now straddling him. I was at a good level since where my knees were they dipped into the pocket of the hot tub. With me standing up on my knees I was at eye level with him. I leaned down some to sit on him. Conveniently it was on his erection.
He had a mixture of lust and love in his eyes, as did I. I took his arms and wrapped them around my lower back. We started kissing lightly, just massaging each other's lips. Then I opened my mouth to let his tongue in and he did the same for me. I pushed myself into him more while running my hands through his hair. He let out a moan. My breasts were now pressed against his chest. I took his hands and moved them down to my ass. Making him push my lower half into him. He didn't object which I was highly surprised about. I let out another moan, as did he. My whole body head to toe was pressed against him. I could feel his erection on my inner thigh. I love it. I was running my one hand down his abdomen and it was right at his bathing suit waistband. I pulled the string to loosen the grip it had on him. I was ready to slide my hand underneath when I heard someone clear their throat. We both stopped. Our foreheads leaning against each other as we were trying to catch our breath.
So Tanya is starting problems with Bella. She has a tactic to use on Tanya – jealously. Jealously is pretty strong, lets see if it's in Bella's favor. Edward and Bella decide to share some alone time in the hot tub but of course are interrupted. Who is interrupting Edward and Bella's special moment? Read and find out. Please leave reviews.
