Chapter 15- The Day Has Arrived-Finally!
Today was the day. I am overwhelmed with excitement and anticipation. My day at work could not go fast enough. I brought with me to work a change of clothes and my bag of grooming supplies to freshen up before the date. I won't even bore myself with reliving my day. I just tried my best to look relaxed and not anxious. I ended work a little early so as to be ready for Edward. I was in the department talking to the closers when Mike walks up.
"Hey Bella. You looking good., hot plans tonight?" I turn around and try to make me response as neutral as possible.
"Yes I am meeting someone." At this he gets a bit nervous.
"Are you going on a date?" Before I could answer I voice I longed to hear responds for me.
"Yes she is. I hope I have not kept you waiting to long Bella." I turn to face him and he looks breathtaking. It is a simple buttoned down white shirt and a dark wash jeans. His hair looks like he had a recent shower. I try to keep myself from looking for any stray beads of water. I blush at my thought of where some may be lingering.
"No Edward, I have not been waiting long. Are you ready to go?" He has his eyes burning into mine. I wonder if he can sense my inner battles about my scavenger hunt. He reaches over and grabs my bag from my shoulder that contained my work clothes and shifts it to his and then takes my hand leading me out the door. He wished the two guys staring after us a good night as we leave through the in door.
Our walk is quite as we stroll toward his building. The air has a slight breeze and I feel the comfort from both the nice weather and the hand that is holding mine.
As we exit the elevator he directs me to the door to the left and smiles at me before fishing out his key to gain entrance. The sight and smell that hit me are amazing. The ceilings are over eleven feet with exposed brick walls. It was not overdone. I loved it. He had a corner unit. (to see the pics see my profile for link). After I was viewing the living space I really focused on the aroma permeating from the kitchen.
"What is that your are making? It smells absolutely delicious. I have no idea since you did not ask me for any help with a recipe this week."
"I know I was able to do it on my own. I came in last night after your shift to gather what I needed. I couldn't have you finding out. I wanted to surprise you. What you smell is a combination of different Italian dishes I prepared. I made a Baked Fennel with Parmesan, Italian Sausage Soup, and Eggplant-Ziti Parmesan. I even have a Sangiovese wine to go with the meal. I went with those since you seem to favor Italian." I was astounded. He made all this for me. I have never had someone else cook for me. I am usually the one that is in charge of making dinner. I knew he was going to do it, but to actually be here, smelling it, and have him tell me what he prepared filled me with such utter elation. I am probably blushing from my sheer joy. I look at Edward and his face mirrors my feelings. He face shows pride at making me happy.
"Is there anything I can help you with?" I walk towards the kitchen.
"No, no. I did this for you. The only thing I want you to do is enjoy my food." He then went over and started placing the dishes on the table. It is obvious he had things finished before he came to get me and just had them warming until I arrived. The kitchen even looked quite cleaned for someone who just made an elaborate dinner. The only proof was the tell tale signs of left over pieces in the garbage can. I decided to play with him since the room was emasculate.
"Edward are you sure you made all of this? I only ask because your kitchen looks so clean like it has never been used." I bit my cheek to keep from smiling. I wanted to see if he took the bait.
"I will have you know that I am a very neat person. Thank you. I would not dream of leaving a mess out knowing you were coming over. I assure you that I made everything with my own hands. This meal was made with my own blood, sweat, tears and love." I could not hold it in an longer. I giggled. He caught on to my teasing now with a threat to make me eat every last bit and then eat desert. Of course he would not tell me what desert he prepared.
He went all out the food was delectable. I was packing it away like it was my last meal. I was almost afraid he would think me a pig with the amount I was ingesting. But the smile that graced his lips told me that he was pleased. Our talk over the meal was engaging. He told me of some stories of Alice, Emmett and himself as kids. I was able to get some good dirty to tease Alice and some for Rose to tease Emmett with. I told of some of my stories but avoid any with Jacob or the boys. I stuck with Charlie and my abnormal amount of accidents which resulted to many trips to the emergency room.
When dinner was over I was able to squeeze my way into the kitchen to help clean up and put any left overs in the fridge. He put up a fight, but caved when I pouted. I now know a weapon I can use on him. We worked well together even though I am new to his kitchen and we were finished in no time. There were some moments where I became breathless. The slight touches as he passed things or moved around me. I felt his hand on m lower back or on my shoulder. Each left me with the most wonderful tingle and warmth that slowly spread.
After all was in order we sat on the couch facing the television. He inquired what I would prefer to drink. We decided on some liquor. He brought out a bottle and two glasses. He left right after he deposit the glasses on the table. I followed his movements. He was back in the kitchen and opened a cabinet and withdrew a container. I could not see much after that until he was facing me again with a few objects in hand. I could see that on two plates sat the a confection of moist chocolate cake.
"Oh my." That is the only response I could give as I viewed them. I was not sure if I could fit that in my stomach but I should wanted to try." I did not let the cake leave my sight as Edward started talking.
"I brought them out now so we would not have to stop the movie to get them. Let's see what is on demand." After much discussion we decided on something a little out of my comfort one. It was a sci-fi/horror called Thirst. I was being daring when I agreed. I watched as Edward shut the lights off. The only light on was from a few candles and the tv. As I watch him, he explains the need to have very little light when watching scary movies.
"You better not turn out to be a vampire yourself and try to eat me." I was starting to get a little apprehensive about my movie choice with the lack of sight.
"Oh sweetheart vampires don't eat people we drink their blood...your blood." He displayed a evil smirk and then licked his lips with a smack. "You do smell delicious. Can I have a taste before the movie starts." He then stocks over to the couch jumping over it and laying me flat on it. I actually did of a combination squeak and scream. I was slightly shaking as he leaned in moving my chin up with his nose as his breath blew across my neck. I then felt wetness as his tongue licked a long line on my neck towards my ear. My breathing was erratic as my fear turned to something all together different. I felt a heat rise and my body started to react to his body pressed into me. I then felt his breath on my ear as he spoke. "You taste better than I imagined."
He must have felt the switch from my initial reaction for he rose and offered his hand to help we get reseated in my prior position. I decided to try to get myself under control so I tried to play it off. "Wow you had me convinced. You would make a great vampire. Well have to remember that for Halloween. That reminds me I will have to talk to Alice. I need to invite her out with us t hat night. The girls are going another girls night on Halloween."
Edward expression changed when talk of the girls night was mentioned. "Is this anything like the last one you had?"
"Not sure if we will be playing a game, but this might be similar. I know we are hitting a few different stops. Rose likes to check out a few different places. Each destination meets a purpose."
"Like what. This had me curious. Your last one was quite entertaining."
"I know we will be dressing up and going to a few bars that are advertising events they plan on having on Halloween. There are the usual costume contest or bar game contests. Some include buffets so we know we can nibble on some food to keep the alcohol intact in check. She is working on the logistics. If the bars and clubs are close together we can just take a taxi and walk from place to place like a bar crawl. Another option is taking a limo in case there is a scavenger hunt we participate in or if the stops are too far apart this way we can leave things in the vehicle." The second glass of wine was making me feel very talkative. I was explaining probably more than he asked for. "I know we will probable hit the strip club. There is always a costume party that night. Rose and I know the deejay so we get in for free, but then again why make a female pay to come in. It brings more business since guys will be buying more drinks, paying for more dances, etc. That is always an experience. You get hit on by the guys and the girls in that place. Then again the girls are trying to make money off of you. You know I had a girl there ask me for my number once. Rose was all excited when that happened. I love seeing what costumes they wear on Halloween. I find it fascinating." I stopped my rambling and looked over at Edward. His mouth was hanging open. I started to blush when I realized what I just told him. I ducked my head. "Are you ready for the movie? Should I press play?"
"Huh? The movie? Oh no I like to continue with this conversation. I really intrigued. So when you go to the strip club do you get a private dance?"
"Me?...Well I have been offered them to be paid for but I have never actually received one. Rose is the one who usually goes for it." I am not sure I want to know what he is thinking about this.
"Do you contemplate getting a dance." He then took a long swig of his drink.
"Um...I have thought about it, but I don't think I have been drunk enough when there to ever go through with it." Edward sat there mulling over my response. I thought about what he was asking me and decided to turn the questions on hi, in hopes to get them off of me. "Edward have you ever had a private dance?"
His eyes meet mine again when he answers. "No. I have never partook in that ritual. I have gone to the clubs. Obviously at Emmett's urgings, I went. I never found the appeal of having someone I don't know do something that could be so personal. If I were to have that done I rather it be with my girlfriend or wife. The appeal to a private dance from her would be much more gratifying. But I have to say the man in me could see the allure of watching another woman do that to my girlfriend." He had a glazed look as you could tell he was envision such a scene. I have to say I was conflicted. The idea made me hot, but only if I was involved and he was there watching. If he was thinking of two other women then he better beware. Plus which scene is he imagining. The girlfriend giving him one or the girlfriend receiving one.
"Have you ever given one Bella?" You can tell the alcohol he has been drinking during out discussion is addled his brain. He is very open with his questions and answers.
"Well, I have not given one to a man before. Rose and I took some classes for that kind of dancing plus pole dancing with some of the other girls." At this Edward finished off his drink and poured another. He also poured me one since mine was equally empty.
"Really. How..I mean, did you have to practice on anyone...how were you taught?" After his kept switching up the question he waited for my answer. I am not sure but it looks like he isn't breathing.
"Well we practiced on each other. As you can imagine we went to this class after having a few drinks at dinner. Rose was my partner so we traded off being the giver and receiver."
"Wow, I wish I was there to see that. I bet if would have been intoxicating." Again his glazed over look was playing the scenario for him. His lips rose on one side. He then shook his head ending it and a blush rose on his cheeks.
"I have never seen you blush before. What were you thinking?"
"I don't think you want to hear that just yet. Maybe in a few months."
"Hmm I think I might hold you to that. I bet if would raise my temperature."
"If not yours mine sure would amongst other things." He then reached over and selected the movie and sat back rearranging himself in a more comfortable position. I sat there watching him wondering on his little switch in mood. I then let my eyes wander to the screen as the opening credits start.
This movie was interesting. I even did the typical girly thing an clung to Edward. It had its moments of violence, gore, horror, and lastly sex. That was a very interesting part of the movie. You see I was still clinging to Edward when that part came on. Realization of where each part of my body was touching Edwards when the sex scene started. I think it hit him too. I was imaging Edward doing those things to me. And when the full frontal male shot came on screen I was not even picturing the actor I was thinking of Edward. My breathing became shallower. When the scene ended I found my hands were roughly digging into his thigh and chest. Awkward position to be found in I will tell you. I am not sure if I freaked him out or what. I did not even give myself a chance to find out. I ran to the bathroom claiming I needed to pee. No I really wanted a moment to get my breathing and heart down to a normal level. I came out and notice he paused the movie. I came out not meeting his eye and grabbed my plate with the cake and proceeded to pick at it. I didn't even use my fork I just used my hands. I heard the movie start up again.
Once my brain caught up to my actions I really started to taste the cake. When I did I literally moaned. That sure got Edwards attention because his head wiped around and he stared at my lips I put another chunk of moist chocolate cake in my mouth. I became aware of the fact I was not being all together neat. I saw that my fingers were starting to get caked in chocolate goodness. I apologized and looked around for a napkin. I did not see any so I went to rise to get one when a hand halted my movement keeping me seated. The same hand reached over and took my hand and drew it near his mouth. I watched in awe as Edward stuck out his tongue and licked my palm up my middle finger. My body instantly reacted to this wonderful torture. He then took my ring finger and engulfed it in his mouth to inhale the chocolate. This elicit another moan. I watched as Edward cleaned my hand with his very talented tongue wishing to find him using it to kiss me. With his other hand he took the plate from my hand and put it on the table. He then pulled my arm bringing me closer. His hands caressed my cheek as his face descended. Oh my god! The feeling of his lips on my is the best feeling I have ever experienced. I have never experienced a kiss like this before. If I knew it felt like this I would have jumped him the first day at the store, gossips be damned.
When it ended I was was saddened but if we continued I would have passed out from lack of oxygen. That would have been a climatic end to our first kiss.
"I am sorry I mauled you..." As he continued apologizing I blurted out my opinion.
"I'm NOT." I am not sure he even heard me.
"I could not control myself watching you eat the cake. It was the most erotic thing I have scene. Wait what did you say." He had the cutest look on his face that showed such innocence.
"I'm not sorry. That was the most consuming kiss I have ever had and if you don't kiss me again now I am going to attack you." With those words I was back in his arms continuing on my road to paradise. There will be plenty of time to talk later. I just want my lovin'.
I can say I am happy we never finished that movie because the alternative activity of kissing Edward senseless was far more enjoyable. I was so hating myself for leaving. Being a gentlemen he walked me to my car and spoke our goodbyes as we continues with my new favorite activity, kissing Edwards.
Driving home a mentally kicked myself for not being more like Rose and had my way with him. I am in real need for a cold shower or some kind of release. I stepped on the gas so I could get home and handle me current situation.
