Chapter 7 – A Romantic Night

We had been back in Seattle for two days and I had yet to call Renee and tell her about the news. I was sitting at the bookshop it was lunchtime so the place wasn't that busy, Kassie was manning the front while I was sitting in my office going over inventory.

I pulled out my iPhone and dialed Renee's number surprisingly she answered on the first ring.

"Bella baby!" She said. I wasn't surprised, she never did answer the phone with just a hello.

"Do you ever answer the phone like a normal person?" I asked.

"Now why would I want to do that? Being normal is highly overrated my dear." She said making me laugh.

"Mum I need to tell you something and I'm not sure how you're going to take it."

"Ok petal, I'm all ears."

"I'm married."

"As in you already are?"

"Yes."

"Aw well if it makes you happy sweetie I'm happy for you."

"Really? That's all you have to say?"

"Well you're an adult Bella and these are your choices now I'm not saying that I'm happy that you got married without me but it's okay. Now tell me how did Charlie take the news?"

"Well he wasn't really happy, yelled honestly I was surprised he didn't hit Edward or pull his gun out on him. Probably only because Sue talked him over."

"Well she does have a way with your father."

"Ew mum, just ew." I said making her laugh, I did not want to imagine what Sue and Charlie did together when they were alone.

"How's Phil?" I asked trying to change the subject.

"He's good, busy coaching the little league team. He's just so good with children."

"Are you going to have another one?" I asked Renee had never said she wanted more, but I was sure that Phil did want at least one.

"We've talked about it but I'm not sure if we will, just have to wait and see I guess."

"Mmm."

"But I just want you to know Bella that if I do I'm not replacing you, I would never want to replace you, yes having you so young wasn't what I had planned but I'd like to think that Charlie and I did do a good job. But I also want you to know that me moving away with Phil wasn't me running away from you."

"Mum I know that, I choose to stay with Charlie remember? I know others like to think that you did, but I know you didn't mum and I know you wouldn't be replacing me if you and Phil did have a child together."

"Thank you Bella." She said and I sighed, it felt like I had just given my blessing to her to have a child, didn't the parent normally give the children their blessing not the other way around.

"Oh Bella I have to go, Phil just got home he wants to go out for dinner."

"Okay mum, I'll call you later about the party Alice is planning as a late wedding reception. Say hi to Phil for me."

"Will do Bella, Love you my darling girl."

"Love you too mum" I said before hanging up, placing my phone back in my bag, I looked at the time before heading out front to Kassie who was just finishing up with a customer.

"Hey Kassie." I said as I approached her.

"Hey Boss."

"I was thinking of closing early. It seems pretty quiet so why don't you head out and I'll just close up."

"Are you sure? I can stay and help if you want"

"It's no problem Kassie. Now go on, shoo." I said with a playful smile.

"Ok I'm going, I'm going see you tomorrow Bella." She said before heading back to the office grabbing her things.

"Bye Kassie." I said as she walked out the door. I counted the till and locked it putting the cash in the bag before heading into the office to locking it in the safe to bank tomorrow. I walked back out from turning the sign over to closed and locked the door. The only people who had keys to the place were Edward, Kassie and I.

I headed back to the office to tidy up the paperwork and turn the computer off, I was just finished reading the last page of paperwork when I could feel someone starring at me, I looked up slowly and there Edward stood leaned against the door arms crossed just looking at me.

"What are you doing here?" I asked.

"What can't I come see my beautiful wife at work?" He asked with a raised eyebrow.

"No you can, but I know for a fact that you're meant to be working tonight which is why I had planned a date night with the couch."

"Ah yes, to catch up on those horrid shows that you watch."

"Please you watch them too. I've seen you so don't try and deny it mister."

"I plead the fifth." Edward said causing me to roll my eyes.

He might not want to admit it but I knew he like One Tree Hill just as much as I did, plus I caught him watching Hellcats the other day he just doesn't know that I know since he changed it to the sports channel as soon as he heard me getting closer to him.

"Well one of the other doctors wanted to swap so I gladly took it, because we my dear are having a date night."

"Oh we are, are we? And what have you got planned?"

"My lips are sealed."

I figured he'd answer with that, that boy and his secret plans. While I complained inside, I was secretly giddy.

"Well let's go then." I said putting the paperwork in the filling cabinet and turning off the computer grabbing my bag before taking Edward's hand as he lead me out, closing the office door behind us.

We got in the car and I assumed Edward was going to drive to one of the restaurants that nearby that we wanted to check out but instead we ended back at the apartment.

"Are we changing?" I asked but got no response, instead I just followed Edward, into the lift and up to the penthouse, once we got to the door Edward unlocked it but didn't open it.

"Close your eyes." He said and for once I didn't question him on in and just did what he said, he took my hands after he opened the door leading me into the apartment.

"Open," He whispered

I opened my eyes and gasped, the room was beautiful decorated it looked so romantic, the table with lit candles and flowers everywhere from the table to the floor leading a path to the table. It just looked so pretty.

"Edward,"

"You like?"

"I love, I love thank you, you didn't have to do this." I said turning around to him.

"Yes I did, because you my dear deserve nights like for putting up with my long work nights."

I gave him a quick kiss before he took my hand leading me to the table pulling my chair out.

"Why thank you kind sir."

He walked back a minute later with plates in his hand, "I'd like to say I made this all from scratch but I didn't have enough time so I cheated and ordered from the Thai place that we love."

As he place the bowl of rice down along with a bowl of Green Chicken Curry, a bowl of Peppered Beef, A plate of spring rolls, and shrimp in a blanket. Which I just love.

"Looks yummy, thank you Edward." I said before we dug into our food.

Once we were done, Edward cleaned the table, not letting me do anything at all to help. He just told me to sit there and enjoy myself.

"Now before desert, I have another surprise for you wait here for a minute." Edward said before disappearing. A few minutes later he reappeared, taking my hand, "Close your eyes please."

"Well since you asked so nicely." I said before closing them, trusting Edward to guide me to where ever he was taking me.

"If I fall it's your fault." I said when he told me that there were stairs up ahead, I somehow managed to make it up the stairs without falling down I heard a door open and then we didn't move.

"You can open your eyes again my love."

"Edward…"

He had lead me to the bathroom, where the tub was filled with bubbles and roses and candles all around the room, it look so beautiful and romantic.

"It's so beautiful, you didn't have to do this you know? Dinner was enough."

"No it wasn't besides isn't a husband allowed to treat his wife from time to time with no motive behind it?"

"So you're not doing this so you can get laid?"

"Nope, but If I happen to get sex out of it, well I'm not going to complain." Edward said smirking making me hit him.

"Are you joining me?" I asked raising my eyebrow.

"Only if you want me too."

"Mm I think I do, I'll need someone to wash my back."

"I'll wash whatever part of your body, you want."

We stripped off our clothes and I hopped in while Edward poured us both a glass of wine handed them to me, while he climbed in sitting behind pulling me close to him.

"How are the reception plans going?"

"I'm meeting with Alice to go over everything, but everything is more or less in place. The caterers have been hired; we just have to agree on the menu. Your mum's decorating the place.

A tent has been ordered just in case it does rain, Alice and your mum have everything sorted out really. Oh we need to decide on a flavour for the cake, the flowers have been chosen, I'm not sure what they are though, I left that to Alice really."

"And the other thing?"

"Done and organised I can't wait to see every ones face."

"Are you sure we can pull this off with no one finding out before?"

"Trust me Edward, it's going to be fine," I said, "Oh and we need a song too." I added.

"Song?"

"You know for the first dance and all that jazz, I think Alice even wants to do the father daughter dance so I'll have to find a song for that too."

"Well you my dear leave our song to me."

I looked at him, not sure if I wanted to trust him with the song choice or not but I figured hey it was his reception to so he really should have more say.

"Okay."

"Okay?"

"Okay."

Edward leaned down pressing a small kiss on the back of my neck and I snuggled into him.

Edward wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me close to him, holding me tight as he leaned forward brushing his lips against my neck, gently nipped the flesh there earning a small moan from my lips, which seamed to excite him more.

"Please Edward." I begged.

"Please what Bella?" He asked as he leaned forward pressing his lips to mine, lingering for only a moment. He lifted me up off my feet as I wrapped my legs tightly around his waist, my arms wrapping around his neck.

"You have to tell me what you want my love." He said as he carried us over to the bed.

"You, I want all of you."

His mouth crashed down onto mine, groaning into his mouth, as his tongue pried my mouth apart. I eagerly met his tongue with my own, fighting for dominance as we fell onto the bed together.

I pulled away, my mouth lingering only inches from his as I rolled us over so I was straddling him.

"You'll let me have you, won't you Edward?" I asked.

He growled somewhat playfully, rolling us over once again. He nipped at my lower lip, sucking it into his mouth.

"Of course." He purred, his hand's trailing up my sides. "For as long as you want." he pulled my shirt over my head, throwing it off the side of the bed, allowing his hands to roam over my stomach

"Forever." I breathed out eventually; I reached down between us to unclasp the button of his jeans. He reached down to stop me, but was instantly stopped by me smacking his hand away.

"Edward Cullen," I said. "We are now doing this my way. No more teasing."

He chuckled softly and gently kicking off his jeans while I made quick work on the buttons of shirt, sending more than half of them flying across the room causing Edward to laugh at me.

"Why are you laughing at me?" I asked pouting. He leaned down pressing his lips to mine in a very passion filled kiss as his hands gently grasped at my hips, lifting them to him.

"I'm not." He said, grinding himself into me. My body arched as I moaned.

We both reached down at the same moment for the button of my jeans, "I got them." He said flashing me his crooked smile as he released the button pulling the zipper down. I wiggled my hips as Edward yanked the jeans down and dropped them on the floor next to his.

I felt him slip a single finger under the fabric of my panties causing a soft moan to escape as he caressed my clit. I was drenched.

"You're already so wet for me Bella."

"And whose fault is that?"

"It's good to know that I turn you on so well," Edward said as he discarded his boxers.

I rolled my eyes, "Don't get too cocky."

Edward buried his head in my neck as he lifted my hips, "I'll try," he murmured before burying himself deep inside me. I wrapped my legs around his waist setting the pace, slow at first before picking it up. Our hips were moving in harmony against each other moaning.

I felt his hands slid up my side pushing my bra up and over my breasts, before taking a nipple into his mouth sucking it as I writhed beneath him.

"Please Edward." I begged once again. I was close my inner walls tightening around him, Edward went fast as I knew he was close too.

He moved his mouth to my neck once again, nipping and biting me gently as he began pounding hard into me begging for a release. I dug my nails into his back as I arched completely against his body screaming out his name as I came, Edward kept pounding into me grunting as he came, riding out his orgasm before collapsing on top of me.

I smiled softly as I felt Edward kiss what I'm sure was now a love bite on my neck, before rolling over to my side pulling me into his arm.

"I love you Bella." He said as he pressed a kiss on my head.

"Mm, I love you too."

I was sitting at my desk, looking over a fax I had just received from one of the publishing houses about upcoming books that were being published and wondering if I would be interested in any of the up coming books when there was a knock on the door.

I looked up and there stood Kassie, I was surprised, as she normally didn't come back to the office unless she was getting her things to go home at the end of shift.

"What's up Kassie?"

"There's someone here to see you, boss."

"Ok I'll be out in a minute." I was curious as who it could be cause if it was Edward, Angela or Alice they would have just come straight back.

I walked out and stopped once I saw who it was.

"What are you doing here?" I said surprising myself with the anger I could hear in my voice.

"I know I behaved badly that night and I was hoping we could talk."

"You want to talk? What's the point I already know what you think of me and I doubt you've changed your mind about it."

"Please just hear me out. Look, I don't usually beg, but here I am and I don't like apologizing, but Bella I owe you one."

"Fine, I'll meet you at Ariel's coffee house at 6."

"Thank you Bella."

"I better not regret this Rosalie."
