Chapter nine

Bella loved to shop, what girl didn't? But today she just seemed content to just walk around holding Edward's hand. Bella was paying more attention to Edward than the shops he was dragging her around. He was determined to buy her something, anything, anything that she wanted. He wanted to make things up to her and buying her something seemed the only way he knew how. Edward wasn't good with words, Bella knew that and him buying her a gift was completely inappropriate. She wasn't materialistic, she didn't want a gift, she just wanted Edward. He began to drag her through the heavy doors of Selfridges, she paused, "Edward?" She asked. "Can we please just go home" She liked the thought that his apartment could now be considered as their home. "I think your forgetting that I've spent most my day on a plane, not forgetting the time difference and everything." He pivoted on the spot and began walking her back to his apartment, no way was he about to argue with her. When they reached his apartment Bella flung herself onto the bed, staring up at the ceiling. Edward took his spot calmly on the corner of his bed. "Bella, can we start again, please?" He asked coyly, looking over at Bella who was stretched out comfortably. She thought about everything that had happened over the past few weeks, not having Edward in her life had almost killed her. She was really glad to have her best friend back. She nodded in agreement, this was only going to work if they both forgot everything that had happened and started again. Edward stood up and placed a light kiss on her forehead, taking the pillow that was closest to him. "I'll be on the sofa if you need me" He whispered. He was halfway out the bedroom door when he heard Bella spring to her feet, she grabbed his arm, pulling him back towards her. "Just like before?" She asked raising her eyebrow. Edward shook his head and pulled Bella closer. "No," He said "Better."

He ran his fingers through her hair, admiring her beautiful brown eyes before leaning in to kiss her. She stared back at him intensely, neither of them wanting to break each other's gaze. Bella eventually closed her eyes, pressing her lips against Edwards as he gently sucked on her bottom lip. He slowly moved his hands down her back, slipping his tongue into her mouth. Edward lifted her up, trying to get her as close as he could to his body. She began wrapping her legs around his waist. She moved her hands away from his back, ran them slowly up his neck and into his hair. He parted his mouth from hers and placed soft kisses down her neck. He moved his hands to the back of her shirt, placing Bella onto the desk behind. He pulled his hands from under her shirt and began unbuttoning her shirt one by one. Kissing her neck he slowly peeled the shirt away from her skin. Edward ran his hands down her sides, tucking his fingers under the waistband of her jeans. She kissed his neck as he popped open the button, gazing into her eyes for reassurance. "Bella," He paused, she met his gaze. "Are you sure this is okay?". Bella ignored him, biting her lip and jumping of the desk pulling her jeans off. She quickly slid her hands under Edwards t-shirt and pulled it over his head; tracing her fingers down his toned torso. Bella cheekily winked at Edward as she looked down at the waist of his pants, knowing exactly what she meant he slipped out of his jeans and pushed her on to the bed.

The sight of Edward and Georgina having sex on this bed suddenly flashed before her eyes, Bella instantly felt inadequate, she felt ugly. She crossed her hands over her stomach and closed her eyes, she wanted to be here with Edward; she just didn't feel like she was enough for him. Edward could sense her discomfort as he was stood at the foot of the bed; he gently kissed up her inner thighs slowly moving up to her stomach. "You're gorgeous" He whispered "Just the way you are baby" with that, Bella felt herself relax as her breathing got heavier. Edward kissed along her collar bone as he reached his hands behind her back; she arched her back as he gently removed her bra. He slid his hand back down her stomach as he bit and sucked on her neck, he teased her by sliding a finger under the waistband of her knickers. Bella lifted her neck up as she pushed her lips into his, slowly massaging his tongue with hers; she wanted him and he knew it. Edward slowly slid Bella's knickers down to her knees as she kicked them off; he traced a finger up her thigh kissing her hip bone.

Bella's body tensed as Edward slowly slid a finger inside her; she bit her lip as he pumped his finger in and out. He felt her fingernails scrape up his back as her hands made their way up to his hair. Her hands gripping his hair she let out a small groan kissing his neck. He moved his hands back onto her waist. Bella slid her hands back down, tugging gently on his boxers. He smiled a crooked grin and quickly pulled them off, throwing them across the room. Bella let out a giggle. He sighed and stared into her eyes. He couldn't wait any longer. He immediately slid himself inside her thrusting slowly, her hands reached down to grip the duvet cover. Edward picked up the pace as their bodies moved in perfect momentum with each other. Bella let out a moan as she closed her eyes and bit her lip; she forgot how good this felt. Edward was soon to follow letting out a load groan as he collapsed on top of her Not wanting to lose the connection they had, he lay on top of her breathing deeply into the crook of her neck. Eventually, he moved to lie next to her watching her chest rise and fall. Bella was trying to cover her erratic breathing but she wasn't hiding it very well. He reached down; he reached down and took hold of her hand as he rolled onto his side. He nuzzled his head into her shoulder kissing her neck "I'm sorry I ever hurt you Bella, I love you" he whispered into her ear as he wrapped his hands around her waist. She turned her back to him and leant against him interlocking her fingers with his. "It's okay Edward, I love you too"
