Restraint: Chapter Three
By: Crimson Droplets
One day, a whole day, and I hadn't seen Edward. Not once, for the past 28 hours to be exact. The previous day, I had went home about three, and waited up for Edward, but nope, no Edward. He didn't show up! The bastard.
Then… Today, the Gods were just on my side, because it happens to be… Guess... Fucking sunny! How freaking fun is that? There is no way this no touching thing means that I can't see him!
So I was pissy the entire day, it didn't really help that Mike followed me around, asking me what was wrong. I kind of wanted to turn around and stab him with a pencil.
Finally, the final bell ran, and I escaped outside, and climbed into my truck. I started the obnoxiously loud engine, and drove quickly to Edward's house, pushing the limits on my ancient truck.
I pulled into the driveway, my tires squealing. I shut off the engine and climbed out, practically running into the house. I tripped once, but managed not to actually fall, luckily.
I knocked on the door several times, seeming, um, shall I say, a bit desperate. Yeah, that's the word.
Esme answered it. "Ah Bella! You know you don't have to knock. Honey, you have a key. This house is as much as yours as it is anyone else's."
I nodded meekly. She was so nice. "Thanks Esme. I'll remember that. Is um, Edward in?"
"Yes dear, in his-"
"Bella." Edward took two long strides and suddenly was standing in front of me.
"Edward." I breathed. I leaned against him and hugged him. I felt his arms twitch at the urge to hug back, but he resisted, and smiled instead.
"Let's sit." He motioned to the couch. I sat down alongside him.
"You didn't show up." I tried to look mad.
"I was hunting."
"No excuses. "Hmmph." I crossed my arms over my chest.
"Look at me Bella." I looked at him. "Bella." He breathed. "Bella, my love, my darling, my sweet, clumsy, brown eyed goddess. My shooting star. My angel. My reason for living. I love you. I love you." Edward breathed in my face. His face inched closer to mine, "I love you."
That was it. I shoved Edward away. Well tried to. My hands came in contact with his stone chest, and I couldn't help but flush thinking about the things- …
"Stop!"I stood up and fled up the stairs, taking them two at a time, tripping. I didn't care, I had to get away. I stopped in front of Alice's door, taking a moment to breath heavily. Then, I threw open the door.
"Alice! I almost did it. Gave in. I mean. He was so, and I was so. I didn't mean too!" I yelled, flustered.
"Okay, calm down. Start from the beginning." Alice looked alarmed.
"Well, I hadn't seen Edward for a day, and I came here to talk, since I hadn't seen him. And he tried to seduce me. But my point is, I need help. Edward is driving me crazy and it's been a day. He got me to melt by talking. Seriously. And doing that smoldering thing with his eyes."
"Oh." Alice giggled. "Well. Hold on. Rose." She called for Rosalie at a normal tone, knowing Rosalie would hear her.
"Yes?" Rosalie appeared in the doorway.
Alice explained what just happened. "Oh. Well…we'll have to teach you then. Tricks."
"Tricks?" I asked.
"Yeah." Alice replied. "They'll come in handy."
"Uh huh. We'll be teaching you stuff like how to ignore him. How to pull away. How to perform… like… wow… in bed… how to give the best oral sex in the history of oral sex… and ha. You're not even a vampire."
I laughed. "So only vampires can do those things well?"
"Yes." Rosalie said with a bitter look in her eye. "I mean. Only men can't perform as well as they could. Women are fine." She cleared her throat.
"Oh. Okay then." I looked away.
"Lets get started, shall we?" Alice asked.
"Yeah. I guess." I replied.
"Okay. Here's what you do." Rosalie started.
Two hours later, Alice came in with one of Edward's dress shirts. "Here. This will drive him nuts. And he can't touch you, can't cover you up. And what is he gonna say? Cover up Bella, you look too sexy? No, he's not. And if he does, break up with him Bella, he's most definitely gay."
It was a long sleeve white button-up collard shirt. Alice had me put on simple, none too dressy, nude lingerie, something I'd normally wear, just a little bit tighter. Then she let my hair fall free from its scrunchie imprisonment, and let it flow freely into cascading waves down my back.
"You look perfect. Kay. I had trouble getting Edward out so Rosalie could set up, so you need to hurry up and get in. Now. Just lounge around, kick your legs up in the air, show slightly some of the lingerie, and just have fun. Not too much. Don't let him touch you, remember. The Cullen girls don't want to lose. So, good luck babe."
"Yeah." I walked numbly to Edward's room, forcing myself to lay on his couch, get comfortable, and just kind of… be Bella. Rosalie had lit a few candles, and only one lamp was on, and that was in the far corner. Some one had taken the time to string lights on the tree outside Edward's glass wall, so the light from the string of lights shone through. It was gorgeous.
"What, ow. No, sheesh. I didn't get it." I heard Edward's voice, and then he came into the room, shutting it behind him, and mumbling something incoherent.
My stomach fluttered, but I didn't have time to worry, because he turned around then.
"Bella?" He took a step towards me.
"Yeah. I've been waiting… and waiting." My words caught in my throat. I sounded stupid. I wanted to laugh at myself.
"Oh, is that so?" He raised an eyebrow.
"Uh hmm." I murmured.
"Well, Isabella Marie Swan, you never cease to amaze me. I walk in, utterly pissed and annoyed, and you're laying there, looking gorgeous, and you completely cause my mind to go kaput. I don't know where I'm going, what I'm doing, or why. All I know, right now, is that you're beautiful, and I'm so glad your mine." Edward smiled.
I smiled back, unsure of what to say.
"And I'm glad…We're." He took a step towards me. "Getting." Another step. "Married."
I gulped. And then he was towering over me, staring down at my partially naked body. "You are… Something else." He said, smiling gently. I was his, and I was melting. I had to stay strong. I sat up and pulled him by the shirt ends.
"Edward." I crooned. "Sit. I love you."
He sat beside me – hopefully- dazzled by me momentarily. I had to retrace my thoughts for a moment before I could think about what I was doing.
I cocked my head to the side. "I'm not all of that. But I love you for saying that." I got up, and Edward's eyes followed me.
"Sssh. Relax." I told him.
He looked unsure, but did so. I reached out and touched his shoulder. Once he realized what I was doing, he relaxed. I rubbed his shoulders gently.
"Bet you can't even feel that, huh?" I asked, giggling.
"No, you can't imagine how that feels." Edward answered, sighing.
I smiled, and rubbed lower, onto his chest. He opened is eyes, but said nothing. I moved lower, my hands traveling over his hard abdominal muscles. I brought my hands back up to his shoulders, and moved my hands down his arm, running my fingernails on his skin. He shuddered slightly.
"Bella." He mumbled. "I think we should stop."
"Oh, okay." I started to walk out, holding my head high. I stopped in the doorway. "Just wanted to let you know… I still haven't stopped thinking about the offer you made that day in the meadow. The sexual one…" With that, I walked out, leaving Edward flabbergasted.
Review please. :D And yes, reviews would be nice for an update... Purrlease?
