Chapter 5: Cookie Deception and Caught Red Handed

Miss Swan

"So… tell me Bella, how did Edward manage to bring your cookies that you always make?" Alice questioned as soon as we got into Jasper's car. "And don't say it was just a coincidence!"

I knew this was coming as Rose and Alice were eyeing me the entire evening. Every time Edward would look away or walk into another room, either Alice or Rose would raise an eyebrow and smirk at me.

"I… uh…" I stammered, wondering how I would explain myself. "I gave him the recipe because he called me… Edward said that he had a dinner to go to and he needed to take something. I figured it was the easiest thing for him to make and it's the least I could do, after what he did for me last night."

"So you didn't help him?" Alice questioned as Jasper chuckled.

"N-no," I lied. It was easier to lie than face the truth and deal with Alice squealing because Edward and I spent some alone time together.

"Bella, you are a horrible liar, but I'll leave it alone for now," Alice said as she rolled her eyes.

The rest of the way to my house was spent planning out the upcoming camping trip. Alice and Jasper tried talking me into going with them, but as much as I loved my friends, I really didn't want to do that. They were practically newlyweds still and I hated to be the third wheel. I also didn't want to leave Seth alone for that long. I didn't know if he would go along with me or if he'd want to stay.

Once Jasper and Alice dropped me off at my house, I settled into bed quickly, wishing the house wasn't so empty and quiet. Seth was still out and I had no idea when he would be home. Just as I was about to go to sleep, my cell phone buzzed with a new message. I flipped it open quickly, immediately finding myself smiling hugely when I saw who it was.

Did you get the third degree about the cookies like I did?

-E

I laughed and typed out a message back to him.

Yes. I'll never hear the end of it.

-B

Just the thought of Edward made me smile. Not only was he a very attractive man, but he was a nice guy as well. It still bothered me that he was dating Lauren, but hopefully he would see her wicked ways eventually.

A few minutes later, rather than getting another text message, Edward called me. I answered quickly, feeling giddy that he was calling me.

"Hey… I hope you're not asleep…" Edward said nervously.

"Yeah, well I do text in my sleep… so…." I teased, giggling like a moron.

"Haha, very funny Swan. Anyway, I had Rose and Emmett questioning me for a while… I told them that you came over and helped me make the cookies," Edward said, which meant we were caught. I lied and Edward basically told the truth. "I figured you'd be honest, too, so I didn't want to make up some wild story about making your cookies."

I groaned and sat up in my bed. "Oh no… we're caught. I said that I gave you the recipe because you needed something to take to dinner."

Edward chuckled and sighed. "Great…"

"I'll come up with something," I said with disappointment. My friends were going to embarrass the hell out of me and though I knew they would eventually find out, I just wasn't ready for it. Edward had a girlfriend, which meant he was unavailable to me. I honestly didn't think I could ever be with him anyway, knowing that he was with the skank. Oh God, they had sex. I groaned, not realizing I made the sound out loud until Edward cleared his throat.

"You okay, Bella?"

"Yeah… I uh… I'm just getting sleepy I guess."

"Oh, yeah… it's pretty late. I should let you go."

"Well… I hope you have a good night," I said awkwardly. Why was I letting Edward Masen get to me like this? I could just picture him lying on his bed, probably in just his boxers, talking to me. Shut up… "I hope you had fun tonight."

"Yes, Miss Swan, I definitely had fun," Edward replied with a small chuckle. Was he flirting? No. Just my imagination or wishful thinking. "Sleep well."

"You, too." I clicked the end button on my phone quickly before I blabbed more nonsense into the phone.

I called Seth before going to bed to make sure he had a key in case he came home during the night. Honestly, I hated being in my parents empty, too dark house, alone at night. I locked up before running upstairs to get into bed, feeling like such an idiot. I clutched my phone tightly as I laid under the covers, hoping that I would fall asleep soon. Thankfully, I did; however, I was plagued with dreams about a hot football player that was "off the market".

The next couple of days passed by quickly as I was busy unpacking and setting up everything in my house. Alice and Rose didn't nag me about Edward anymore, probably because they could sense my frustration with the situation. They called me several times, begging me to camp out with them, but I just didn't feel right doing that. Edward was going to be there and what guy wouldn't bring their girlfriend to go camping. Tent sex? Nasty lake sex? Yeah, I'm sure no guy would pass up that opportunity.

On Tuesday I decided to work on my new classroom since the school was practically empty. Mrs. Cope's car was in the parking lot when I arrived and I couldn't stop laughing because I immediately recognized her car. Even when I was in high school she was driving that red Mazda Miata, which did not fit her school teacher persona at all.

I walked into my old school, remembering everything that had happened in that building. My first crush, first fight, first kiss… the list goes on. Yes, I said first fight. Lauren hated me and tripped me as I was going down the hall one day, which caused me to go Carrie psycho on her. I jumped up from the gray tile floor and slapped her face as hard as I could. The next thing I knew we were rolling around on the floor. Not my best moment. Especially when my dad, the chief of police, showed up. It wasn't a good day for me at all.

I stood in front of the huge mirror that was placed next to the double doors, wondering why I allowed myself to leave the house the way I was dressed. It was my usual outfit – tank top, shorts and flip flops. I prayed I didn't see anyone besides Mrs. Cope.

"Bella Swan!" Someone yelled from down the dim hallway. "Is that you!?"

I squinted my eyes, adjusting to the dimmed light. It was Mrs. Cope. She pretty much sprinted down the hall with a huge grin on her face.

"Hi, Mrs. Cope," I said with a smile. I was her office aide during my senior year and during that time we became fairly close. She had high hopes for me, but now I wondered if she thought I'd really come back to teach at Forks High. Was I really living up to my potential?

"I knew that was you, honey!" Mrs. Cope squealed. "How have you been, sweetheart?"

"Good… just glad to be back home. I thought I would work on my classroom for a little bit this morning."

Mrs. Cope pulled me in for a tight huge, patting my back. "Well, I'm glad you're here! I have some paperwork for you to fill out whenever you get the chance, and you know where the old English room is… right?"

"How could I forget?"

After catching up with my new boss, I closed the door to my room and turned up the old radio that was left in there. Forks had five radio stations with a bad selection. Oldies, Old Country, Heavy Metal, Oldies again, and Mix… I definitely needed to bring my own equipment up to the school.

I cleaned for a bit, feeling disgusted by all the dried gum under the desks. Sick ass kids. I was there for maybe an hour before I got tired of the oldies music and decided to go check out Coach Masen's lab room. As soon as I stepped into the room, memories of my high school days came back to me. For the first time I actually missed being young. I still had my parents and I didn't have the worries I now had.

Coach Masen

After trying extremely hard to avoid Bella, I gave up when I passed her car in the parking lot at school. I had been cleaning up the weight room all morning, trying to think of anyone but Bella. I got the feeling that she wasn't interested in me, which sucked because I really had this thing for her. Women never got to me like that. Ever.

The principal was just walking out of the school when I was walking in. She informed me that 'Little Bella Swan' was working on her room and she was glad that I showed up so 'Little Bella Swan' wouldn't be alone. I laughed the entire way to Bella's classroom, which happened to be right across the hall from mine.

I slowly opened Bella's door, only to find the classroom completely empty. I looked around the room before closing the door and walking into my classroom. As I opened the door, I found Bella, sitting at one of the lab tables with her arms crossed, resting her head.

"Bella?" I said softly, hoping I didn't scare her.

Bella gasped and bolted up. "Oh my gosh… I'm so sorry, Edward. I didn't think anyone was here… and I was just… uh… I'm sorry."

"Hey," I said, holding my arms up, "it's fine, Bella." I immediately noticed that her eyes were red, along with her nose. Had she been crying? I swiftly walked over to the lab table she was sitting at and stood on the opposite side, leaning forward. "What's wrong?"

Bella smiled slightly, shaking her head. "Nothing… just thinking about the past."

Bella sat up and leaned on her elbows, resting her chin on her hand. Though she was sad, I couldn't help but notice how beautiful she was. Bella's brown eyes shone with unshed tears as she sniffled quietly.

"Wanna talk about it?" I asked, hoping she would open up to me.

"I just," Bella paused as she wiped a few tears from her eyes. "I miss my parents. This was my lab table my senior year. We had to do this stupid experiment that involved blood, which does not go over too well with me… I ended up passing out and the next thing I knew, my dad was rushing in here, carrying me down the hallway and putting me into his cruiser." She let out a small laugh and so did I. I couldn't imagine not having my parents around, even if my father drove me absolutely insane.

"Okay, so I guess I can't ask for your help during those kind of lessons, huh?"

"No," Bella giggled. "My dad panicked so much that day, but I know he thought I was insane because I freaked over a drop of blood. Mrs. Cope called him since the station was just down the road… I swear he was here within seconds."

"He sounds like a great father, Bella," I said sincerely.

"He was," Bella sniffled and I could tell she was holding in so many emotions. I freaked out. I didn't want to see her upset. I ran my hands through my hair, trying to think of anything that might make her feel better.

"Hey, by the way… I ran into Mrs. Cope on my way in here." Bella looked up and smiled. "Yeah, she was so happy that someone would be in here… because she didn't want 'Little Bella Swan' alone in this big building."

Bella groaned, but laughed loudly. I joined her laughter, feeling like I could let out the breath I was holding while she was upset.

We settled into a comfortable conversation, talking about old times and growing up. I grew up completely different than she did, just because my school was enormously huge compared to Forks High. I didn't know half the kids I went to school with, whereas Bella grew up with the same kids. When she mentioned Lauren, I choked on the drink of water I was swallowing.

"Sorry, but I hate your girlfriend," Bella said, laughing as she covered her face. "She's a bitch."

"Wow," I laughed, "Bella Swan just said a curse word. I'm shocked."

Bella nodded and smiled at me. "Sorry, that just kind of slipped out. Hope I didn't offend you."

"Not in the least. Actually, we-" I was cut off by Bella's cell phone ringing. As Bella answered the phone, I started to wonder… did she think I was still with Lauren? Is that the reason she was so standoffish?

Bella was arguing with someone on the phone, so I stepped away, erasing the drawings on the dry erase board my students so "sweetly" left for me on the last day of school. I hoped that Bella would stick around longer. While cleaning up, I glanced over towards her direction. She was leaning over the lab table causing the back of her shirt to reveal a small amount of skin. I felt myself getting hard already, just looking at her ass in those damn shorts. Did she like torturing men with those fucking shorts? Before I was able to complete my daydream of bending her further over that table, Bella waved her hand in front of me.

"Edward?" Bella giggled as her small hand flashed in front of me again. "Are you in there?"

I chuckled, shrugging my shoulders. "Sorry… I zoned out for a minute."

"I can see that," Bella said, still giggling. Her face blushed slightly as she moved past me. "I'm going home."

I turned quickly. "Hey, wait up…" I moved closer to Bella, catching a whiff of her distinct scent. "Are you going out to Baker Lake for the fourth?"

Rose and Alice had nagged me for the past couple of days to take Bella out there, but I didn't know if she would want to go out there with me; however, at this point, I was desperate. I was definitely going to make an ass out of myself around this girl.

"I-I… um… I don't really want to drive out there alone. Seth is going out there with Jake and a couple of girls, but they aren't leaving until tomorrow morning."

And that right there… that was my chance.

"I could take you… I'm going out there tonight," I said quickly, forgetting to fucking breathe again.

Bella's face turned a deeper shade of red. "Well, I don't want to put you out or anything, Edward… and I'm sure that Lauren is going… wedon'texactlygetalong."

I shook my head and laughed quietly. "I'm not with her anymore. I broke up with her a few weeks ago…"

Bella looked down at her feet, looking so shy. I wanted to fucking kiss her so badly.

"Oh," Bella sighed after a few seconds of silence. She looked up at me and grinned. "In that case… I'll go in on gas?"

Later that day, the sun was just starting to set as I went to Bella's house to pick her up. I had my things packed, but somehow forgot my tent, remembering it just as I pulled into Bella's driveway. We would have to swing back by my house before leaving town.

Bella must have heard my truck pull up because she was practically running out of the house before I could even call to tell her I was there. She threw her things in the back of the truck and hopped into the front seat with a big smile on her face.

"Hi," Bella said breathlessly.

"Hey… are you ready to go?"

"Yeah, let's get out of- Oh shit…" Bella groaned as Jake, some freaking huge kid, and two girls walked out of her house. "Fucking Jake…"

"Um… Jake was at your house?" I asked, fully remembering Jake's teenage obsession with Bella.

Bella leaned her head against the seat as the kids neared her side of the truck. "He's my brother's friend – they grew up together."

The big kid, which I assumed was Bella's brother, knocked on her window. Bella rolled the window down and stuck her head out. "What?"

"You were just going to leave without saying bye to us?" the big kid teased.

Bella hit his shoulder playfully. "Shut up… bye… Is that good enough?"

"Hi," the kid leaned in the truck, sticking his hand out towards me. "I'm Seth… and you are?"

"That's our fucking football coach dude," Jake yelled from the porch as he practically groped the girl standing next to him.

I shook his hand and nodded. "Edward Masen… it's nice to meet you, Seth."

Seth's mouth hung open slightly as he continued to shake my hand. "Well, holy shit… Edward fucking Masen-"

Bella hit his arm, causing him to lose his grip on my hand. "Quit cussing, damn it!"

I laughed at their small banter. I loved seeing the playful… no… feisty side of Bella.

"Sorry about that," Seth said. "I was a big fan of yours and fuc-… I mean, Em promised to take me to a game of yours or something when you played… but… anyway, you're going to be my fucking coach?" Bella hit him again. "Sorry about that…"

I laughed loudly because he was a funny kid. "No problem…"

We eventually left Bella's house after Seth made arrangements to come pick out some of my old Patriots memorabilia I had packed away. I drove back to my house to pick up the tent, and when we pulled up to the garage, Bella caught a glance of my motorcycle. Her eyes lit up with excitement and if it hadn't been rainy, I would have taken her on it to the campgrounds. The thought of her so close to me, sitting between her legs… Fuck.

Bella and I made small talk on the way to Baker Lake. She talked about growing up with Alice and Emmett, and neither of us could believe that we had never met before. I would visit my family in Forks during the summer and for some holidays, but we guessed that Bella was more than likely out of town or something, every time.

When we arrived at the campsite, all of the lights were out. Everyone pretty much settled in for the night at a rather early bedtime. I drove down the gravel road until I found Jasper and Emmett's vehicles. I helped Bella out of the truck and insisted on carrying her things. Yes, I was trying to fucking impress her. So?

Bella held the flashlight as we walked on the small path that was supposed to lead us to our friends' tents. We didn't need the flashlight or trail because I immediately recognized moaning as we got closer. Bella smacked her hand to her forehead and groaned.

"They're fucking."

I couldn't hold back my laughter. I stopped, doubling over, trying to hold on to our things. Bella giggled along with me. Once I regained my breath, I stood up and looked at Bella.

"Wanna camp further down that way," I said, pointing to a different trail so that we would be away from our horny friends. Bella looked hesitant. "My tent is a double cabin… so…"

Bella had planned on sleeping in Alice and Jasper's tent, but considering we didn't know which couple was getting it on, that plan seemed to go to shit quickly.

"Okay," Bella said shyly.

I led her down another path, which happened to be close to a small stream of water. We put the tent up together, working so well with each other. Bella made it so easy to be myself around her. Once we had everything set up, I waited outside while Bella changed inside the tent. I prayed she was changing into pants or something because being outside… camping… and the thought of her in those tight fucking shorts… led my mind to making her scream my name.

And I was fucking hard again.

I was already in some gray workout pants, so I pulled my shirt off and stuffed it into my bag. I grabbed a beer out of the ice chest and took a swig just as Bella stepped out of the tent. Fuck me. Bella had on some pajama pants that hung low on her hips and a tight little tank top that showed off her perfect breasts. She stared at me as I stared at her. Was she checking me out?

I cleared my throat and reached down, grabbing a beer for her. "Want one?"

"Thanks," Bella said with a sweet smile.

Bella sent a text to the fucking horndogs, as she referred to them, telling them that she was coming in the morning. I took that as a good sign because she obviously didn't want them to insist on us joining them. Hopefully she wanted to spend some time alone with me.

After we finished our beers, we both yawned. Bella went to her side of the tent and I went to mine. There was a divider up, so I couldn't see her except for a slight shadow. I pulled the zipper of my sleeping bag down and crawled in. As soon as I laid my head back, I only pictured one person. Bella.

Sometime during the night, I woke up to a wet sensation on my cock. I looked down and found Bella, her hot fucking mouth wrapped around me. Every time her tongue circled around the head, I groaned. My hands immediately went to her hair, not forcing her down, but setting the pace. Her small hand wrapped around the base, working in rhythm with her mouth.

"Fuck," I groaned as I felt myself nearing my release. I wanted this to last, but it was ending way too soon.

Bella moaned, sending tingly vibrations over my cock. She stopped moving but continued to suck harder than I had ever felt as I moaned her name, coming deep inside her mouth. I held her head in place, running my fingers through her silky hair.

"Edward?" I heard Bella say. I sat up quickly, inches away from Bella's face. My hand was wrapped around my still fucking hard on, needing a release so badly. It was a damn dream. I wanted to pull my hair out. That was the best fucking dream I had ever had… if only it was real.

"Yeah," I answered, whispering.

"I'm sorry to wake you… but I kind of… gah, I am such a pussy… but I got scared."

I adjusted myself, pulling the sleeping bag over my waist. "Did you hear something?"

"No, I just felt… alone… and we're in the middle of nowhere. It's kind of spooky," Bella explained shyly. "Can I sleep over here with you? I- oh… forget it. This is so embarrassing."

"Bella, wait! Sure you can sleep over here," I said excitedly, patting the spot beside me.

Bella grinned and placed her sleeping bag a foot away from mine. We both lay on our sides, facing each other, not saying anything. I had to focus on keeping my hands to myself. After a few minutes, I thought Bella had gone to sleep, but she asked me something in a whisper that left me in shock and not knowing how to respond.

"So… you said my name earlier… were you… dreaming or something?"

*reposting due to requests. I'll post the complete story as soon as possible, and once I'm finished with this one, I'll post the other stories as well (FFY and SSN). I'm still not finished with UtSM and don't know when I'll be able to work on it. My life has been crazy the past few years and I apologize that I have not finished UtSM, but I just haven't felt like writing or had the time. I never intended to be one of those people who couldn't finish out stories... but I'm trying to get back into writing, so I hope to work on it soon.

Thanks for reading!
