Theres some sexy time in this chapter...
James POV
As soon as I saw her car disappear into the garage, I decided to wait 5 minutes, and then go knocking on her door. As I walk up the walkway and to her door, I think about how today will be the turning point for us. Today, Bella will know how I feel about her, and she'll admit she feels the same way. We'll take Lila, and pack up, leaving Masen behind, and finding our life together.
I reach the door, and knock and wait for her to answer the door. After a couple of seconds, there's still no answer so I knock once more, and suddenly the door is ripped open and I come face to face with Bella, tears running down her face.
"James?" she says, bringing her hands up to her eyes to wipe away some of the moisture. "What are you doing here?"
I walk forward, putting my hands underneath her chin and pulling her face up to mine, and bringing my thumbs up to wipe some of the trails away.
"I haven't seen you in a while…. I missed you" I say, and she huffs and walks back in the house.
"You shouldn't be here. Especially after what you did to my office.." she says as she takes a seat on the couch. I walk over, sitting next to her and rest my hand on her knee.
"I'm sorry about that… I overreacted. But enough about that, why are you crying?" I ask her, and she takes in a deep breath and tells me she went to see Edward at his job, and found him with his secretary.
"What a fucking asshole…." I say, meaning every word. That asshole has Bella, and he has the nerve to fuck his skanky secretary?
"I don't know what I did to deserve this…. I mean, I love him… we have a daughter together.. And…" she looks over at me and shakes her head. "Anyway, I just never thought he'd do that to me." I wrap my arm around her shoulder and pull her close to my side. I let Bella cry on my shoulder, loving that I'm the one here for her right now. It'll make this whole thing easier once she sees how I care for her.
I wait until her crying calms down, and then I stand up and walk into the kitchen, grabbing a piece of paper towel, and I walk back over to her, handing the paper over to her. She wipes her eyes and nose and thanks me, and I take my seat back next to her.
"Thank you for listening, James." she says, and smiles over at me. I take that moment, and use it. I lean towards her, pressing my lips against hers and gripping the back of her neck. I close my eyes, enjoying the feeling of Bella's lips against mine, and before I can deepen the kiss, Bella places her hands on my chest and pushed me back.
"What are you doing?" she asks. She scoots back from me, ending up on the other end of the couch as she covers her mouth.
"Kissing you, Bella. I've wanted to do it for so long…" I scoot over to her and I'm about to kiss her again when I feel her rise up from the couch. I look up from her and see her frantically shaking her head.
"No, James…. You can't do that… You need to go" she says, pointing towards the door, but I shake my head and get up, walking over to her.
"I can't go, Bella. I want to be with you… I love you. We can be a family, Me, you and Lila…" My face begins to sting as I register the fact that Bella just slapped me across the face. I look back at her, and see the rage in her face.
"No, James. I'm with Edward… I love Edward.. And if there was ever a time where him and I were no longer together, I wouldn't be with you. I will never be with you." her words stung worse than the hit, and anger boils up to the surface as I look at her.
"Fuck you, Bella. You WILL be with me…. You may not think so, but I guarantee it." I say, and she smacks me again, harder this time. I shake my head and walk past her towards the door. I swing it open, and look back at her, focusing on her deep brown eyes.
"You'll be fucking sorry" I say, and turn back around and run over to the car. She will be fucking sorry… and I know just what to do to make that happen.
EPOV
I rush home, hoping that Bella will be there so I can explain. I can't even begin to think of what she thought when she saw Lauren on my desk…. But I know she knows I'd never do anything like that to her.
I pass slow cars on the road, and almost end up flying into a tree when I start to skid on the wet road, but thankfully, I pull outside of our house safe and sound. I run up to the front door, throwing it open, and walking inside.
"Bella? Bella?" I scream as I run through the house, checking the kitchen, living room and bathrooms before I walk into our bedroom. The room is dark and empty, but the light to the closet is on, and I walk towards it, and slide the door open. There sitting in the middle of the floor is Bella, suitcase in front of her as she fills it with my clothes. I walk over to her and kneel in front of her, grabbing her shoulders.
"Bella… please.. You have to hear me out" I say and she looks up, meeting my eyes, and I gasp when I see her bloodshot eyes, red from crying all day probably.
"I saw you with my own eyes, Edward. I saw her on your desk and I saw you in between her legs…. I saw when she leaned forward and grabbed you by the tie, and I saw when she whispered something in your ear…." she says, and fresh tears start to fall from her eyes. I pull her to my chest, and kiss the top of her head.
"Did you see when I jumped back from her? Or when I fired her? She took it too far Bella, I had no idea she would go that far… I mean, I turned around in my chair to grab some papers behind me, and when I turned around, she was on my desk… I didn't do anything, baby… I swear… I love you. I'd never do that to you" I say and she begins to sob, shaking her head back and forth as she sniffles and looks up at me.
"Honestly?" she asks and I nod my head. She grips me to her tightly, and I grab her just as tight. Bella thought I'd cheat on her… she actually thought I would do that and she started packing my things.
"Yes baby… I didn't do anything… I would never!" I say as her lips crash to mine. I move closer to her, pushing her body down with mine, and slide my body in between her legs.
"I love you so much, baby. I would never hurt you" I say against her lips as she wraps her legs around my waist. I grip onto her waist with one hand while the other holds my body over her. Our kisses are frenzied, as we try to prove how much we love each other in each kiss. Her hands are rubbing up and down my sides, and she reaches in front of us, and starts to unbutton my shirt from bottom to top. I sit up and untie my tie, pull it over my head and toss it to the floor as she tugs my shirt down from my shoulders. My shirt joins the tie on the floor, and she quickly starts to work on my pants, unbuckling the belt and popping the button. Once I'm free, I stand up and let the pants fall down my legs and to the floor. Bella gets up on her knees, and pulls my boxers down in one swift movement freeing my hardness from the confines of my shorts.
I get down to my knees, and bring my lips to hers as I work on tugging her shirt over her head. Bella raises her arms, and I slide the shirt off her body and then reach down for the waistband of her pants. I tug her yoga pants down her legs, and suck in a breath when I see she's not wearing any underwear.
"Damn Bella" I whisper against her lips as I hover over her, keeping my body up by my arms. The heel of her feet dig into the back of my legs as she wraps her legs around me, and she reaches between us and positions me at her entrance. I thrust in hard, nipping at her neck as I hear her gasp from the feeling of me filling her all at once. I pull out almost completely, and then thrust back in again, loving the feeling of her nails digging into my back and the sound of her moans echoing in the small space of the closet.
"Please, Edward. Faster… I need it faster" she says, and I start pounding into her, bringing her over the edge in no time. She calls out my name as she finds her release, and I follow soon after, spilling my warmth inside of her. Once her body has milked me dry, I pull out of her, and lay beside her, on my back as we both try and get our breathing to return to normal.
"I'm sorry" I say, and turn my head to look over at her. She shakes her head and looks over at me.
"I'm sorry. I should have said something.. Or kicked her ass maybe" she says, causing me to laugh out loud. I turn to my side, and bring my head up to her face.
"Are you feeling better? Why did you come to the job today?" I ask, and I watch as the smile spreads on her face and she moves to her side, facing me.
"I'm pregnant"
BPOV
His face lights up when I tell him I'm pregnant, and tears start to pool in his eyes.
"Really? Are you sure?" he says, and I nod my head, and reach up to catch his tears before they fall.
"Yea. I took 2 tests today, and both came out positive…. We're having another baby" I say, and he pulls me to his chest, hugging me tightly. He tells me he loves me and pulls back, looking at me, and bringing his hand to my stomach. He leans down and kisses my lips, keeping his hand on my stomach and I smile up at him. If at all possible, my loves grows for him. I married a wonderful man, he gave me a beautiful daughter, and now we're going to add another baby to the family.
We talk for a while, him telling me how he left the meeting, and me telling him about my trip to CVS and he smiles when I tell him that I think we conceived this baby that night in New York in the hot tub. We get up from the floor a while after that, and I dressed quickly in the same pants and shirt I had on, while Edward grabs a pair of shorts and a t-shirt instead of pulling on his slacks and button up. I go to the kitchen to make us lunch, and he sits in the living room and turns the news on and takes his laptop out, and settles it on his lap.
"Ham and cheese alright, babe?" I ask him and he says yes, and starts clicking away on his email. I finish the sandwiches, and go to take his to him when I see him with a shocked look on his face.
"What's wrong?" I ask him and he looks up at me. He runs his hand over his face, and takes a deep breath.
"I hired a private investigator a couple of months ago to follow James and find out some things about him. He told me he's email me when he found out about him, and when I checked my voicemail today, there was a message from him telling me that he emailed all of the information to me."
I look at him, and set the plates on the table, and rest my hands on his shoulders.
"What did he find out?" I ask, the sound of the news playing in the background as he tug his hand through his hair.
"His name isn't James Wilson…. It's James Hunter. When he went to out wedding, he had been released from jail only a couple of days before."
"What was he in for?" I ask, feeling my chest begin to get tighten
"He murdered a girl… supposedly she rejected him, and he killed her. He'd been in jail for 10 years…" my breathing starts to pick up and I grab my head and sit down, trying my best not to faint.
"Oh my god, Edward…. We had him in our house…." he doesn't say anything and I look up at him and see his red face as he clutches his fists.
"What is it?" I ask, worried about what could be worse than what I've already heard.
"He was Jacob's cell mate" I feel the vomit rise in my throat and this time it isn't from the pregnancy. I'm sick to my stomach that I believed this person and he was probably sent by Jacob….
I'm about to say something to Edward when something on the news catches my eye.
"Police are asking for your help today. Kate Zane left word early weeks ago, and since then no one has seen her. They have reason to believe this man knows something of her disappearance.
Just then, they flash James' picture and I grab my stomach as the urge to vomit increases.
James Hunter was released from prison not too long ago after serving a 10 year sentence in the murder of Carmen Prince. Hunter, who was 17 at the time, strangled 17 year old Carmen and left her body at the door of his house. The body was discovered by Hunter's own mother who then turned him over to authorities. Hunter is thought to be driving Kate Zane's blue 1999 Toyota tundra. If you have seen this man, or know of his whereabouts, you're encouraged to contact crime stoppers or the police department.
I feel nauseous when I realize James has been coming to the house and he's been in a car of a girl that he's murdered…. He was in jail for murdering a child….
He was here today….
And with that last thought, I lose the last hold I have on my stomach and empty it's contents to the floor below me.
"He was here today"
Edward gets up from the couch, tossing the laptop next to him and standing in front of me.
"What did you say?" I look up at him through teary eyes.
"He was here today, Edward. And he kissed me. I smacked him, but as he left he told me I'd be sorry….. Oh my god, Edward… we need to get out of here" I say and stand up. He stands with me and as he mutters things under his breath. He grabs his keys from the counter and together we walk out to the car. He grabs his phone from his pocket, and dials someone and puts the phone back in his pocket as we get in the car.
"I hate when Alice doesn't answer her phone." he says as he starts the car. I don't know why, but when he says that, a chill runs down my spine and I reach over and grab on to his arm.
"Edward… get there fast… please" I say, and he looks over at me for a second before nodding and speeding down the road. My heart races as we near Alice's house, and as we turn the corner, the feeling of dread grows as I see her house. We park in the driveway, and jump out of the car, running up to the door and knocking. Instead of having to wait for Alice to come and open the door, the force from our knocks causes the door to squeak open and I watch as Edward pushes the door open all the way, and we see into Alice's house. There's things broken and scattered all around the hallway, and when we step further into the house, we hear Blake's cries from his room. Edward nods at me to go and get him, and I run into the room, passing the destroyed living room and dining room. When I get into his room, Blake is standing in his crib, crying and his diaper is soiled badly.
Alice would never let him get this dirty.
I pick him up and take him into the adjoining bathroom, and start to clean him when I hear a sound coming from the bathtub. I walk back into the bedroom, placing him back into his crib as I grab the closet thing I can find, which happened to be the lamp stand in his room. I grab it, and make my way back into the bathroom and stand on the other side, taking deep breaths, preparing myself to kill him if he's on the other side of this curtain. I count to 3 in my head, and rip the curtain out of the way, and let out a blood curdling scream when I see who's on the other side of the shower curtain.
Damn Cliffie. So sorry, but that's where it needed to end. Who do you think is in the bathtub?
