Chapter 10

Diamond Man

Bella was furious; Edward had robbed a volt last night stealing three of the largest diamonds and didn't bother to come to her. Men!

Edward poured the champagne to Emmett, Jasper, Alice, Rosalie, who was getting better, Zac, Eleazer, Liam, Maggie and a few other friends.

Even though Edward did it all by himself when they heard the news they all went round to his place

"Let's see"

Edward smirked and finished the champagne before reaching under him and pulling out a safe he opened it and they gasped, there in blue sating sheets to protect them were the diamonds he stole

"I so want them" Maggie sighed

"Em"

"Yes boss"

"Get Freddy the riddle"

Freddy the riddle was a well known faker; he could duplicate anything including diamonds.

"So I figure, I return the fake diamonds to the police say I don't want anything, even though they'll give me the cash, and we'll get a heavy sugar"

Maranzano threw the paper on the ground, news was already spreading and Edward Cullen was once again top dog. Johnny sighed and rubbed his hands over his face. He had to get that top dog status. He had to put up his game but he couldn't think of anything which could top this.

"Sorry baby girl" Michel set his hat down at the side and looked sympathetically at Bella

"You've read it" she sighed

"Everyone's read it"

"I feel like a dumb dora" she sighed deeply again before smiling at him "I need a belt"

Michel winked and walked to the bar "Coming right up" he ordered jack Daniels for the both of them. He set the drinks opposite them and said "ready to get bent?"

She laughed "Absolutely"

It was only 2:00 in the afternoon and she was ready to get drunk

Edward walked down the street at 7:00pm Bella would be singing shortly at her club and he wasn't sure if he should go. He heard a laugh from inside the bar which sounded like the canary. He frowned and walked in, at the far table in the right hand direction he saw Bella talking with the male canary. His hands wrapped into fists and stormed up to them. Bella giggled when she saw him

"Eddie" she stood up and nearly fell, Edward managed to catch her on time, her eyes were glassy and she had a dopy smile on her face

"You are sooooooooo pwetty" she burst out laughing and she hung loosely from him

Michel was passed out over the table, he was half tempted to leave him there but he knew that would upset his girl.

"Bartender, get this man a taxi home"

The bartender nodded before calling a cab, he kicked Michel so he moved but wasn't awake

"Where do you live?"

He mumbled it and told it to the bartender to tell the cab; Edward put dollerbills on the table next to him and picked Bella up bridal style out of the bar. His car wasn't that far away, he only went to visit Freddy and the deal was done.

"I'm cold" she complaining making herself crawl deeper against Edward, he wasn't complaining. He saw his car and slowed down not wanting to separate from her just yet

"Eddie"

"Don't call me that Bella" he snapped and the moment was gone, he rushed to his car, opened it without dropping Bella and set her in the back seat. He looked at his watch and saw she had one hour to get dressed before the show, she was singing to herself and he shook his head, he doubted she would be singing tonight. He closed her side of the door and rushed to the driver's seat.

He switched the radio on and raced to her apartment.

When they arrived, Bella was still singing to herself, he switched the car off and picked her up off the back seat.

He asked one of her neighbours to help open her door; it was an elderly lady probably in her 70s. He thanked her and she walked down the hall, he placed her on her bed and he felt something wet against his neck he pulled back and looked at Bella

"Did you just lick me?"

She giggled and nodded

"You taste like Candy"

She kissed him again but with more passion, he moaned when she moved her hand down to his erection, he bucked against her hand unintentionally

"Fuck me Edward" she breathed harshly against his ear and nipped it, he swallowed and pulled back making her remove her hand from his pants

"You're Blotto"

She pouted at him making him roll his eyes and she pulled him onto the bed next to her, she rolled over and looked at him, her eyes were dropping and he stroked her cheek

"Edward?"

"Yes doll?" he kissed her pouty lips, they were now only inches away from each other

"Johnny came to see me after you left last night"

Edward's hands tightened on her hips

"He said if I didn't agree to his agreement more people would get hurt" Bella yawned and then continued "when I asked him what he meant by more people he said to ask you"

Edward eyes widened in horror then it occurred to him

The attack on Alice, his auntie…and Rosalie

Maranzano thrusted into the woman one last time before he collapsed beside her

"How are things going?"

He looked to the woman and smirked

"She'll marry me eventually"

The woman smirked next to him and she went to curl up to him but he pushed her away

"Bella is the only one to curl up to me when I have her"

The woman rolled her eyes and then smirked

"But until then" she straddled him and he entered her harshly causing her to toss her head back in pleasure.

Bella woke up and heard the rattle of cutlery in the kitchen, her head was banging and she felt disgusting. She practically crawled her way into the shower to freshen up.

Bella put the curlers in her wet hair and put on her pink silk housecoat. She walked down to the kitchen and saw Edward had made her breakfast.

"You are a sight to behold" he kissed her deeply; their tongues battle but Edward won obviously. They pulled back and Bella smiled

"Thanks"

"I've got work to do"

That struck a memory for Bella

"Did you really steal those diamonds?"

He stopped short at the door when he put his jacket on

"Yes" with that he left her apartment

Johnny walked down the street and saw the newspaper which he read before, he snarled and stepped into his car.

Bella slipped her Blue sparkly dress on and wore her brown curly hair down.

"Good luck Bella" Mike smiled at her and she nodded

"Good evening everyone"

They roared as soon she was on the stage, she saw Michel in the crowd along with her mother, he smiled guilty and she rolled her eyes, she saw Edward with Emmett and Jasper and she smiled.

Tarzan and Jane were swingin' on a vine
Candyman, candyman
Sippin' from a bottle of vodka double wine
Sweet sugar candyman

Bella smiled and started to sing

I met him out for dinner on a Friday night
He really got me working up an appetite
He had tattoos up and down his arm
There's nothing more dangerous than a boy with charm

He's a one stop shop, makes my panties drop
He's a sweet talkin' sugar coated candyman
A sweet talkin' sugar coated candyman, ooh, yeah

Edward shook his head and chuckled

"You taste like Candy"

The song was about him

He took me to the Spider Club on Hollywood and Vine
We drank champagne and we danced all night
We shook the paparazzi for a big surprise
The gossip tonight will be tomorrow's headline

He's a one stop shop, makes my cherry pop
He's a sweet talkin' sugar coated candyman
A sweet talkin' sugar coated candyman

He's a one stop shop, makes my cherry pop
He's a sweet talkin' sugar coated candyman
A sweet talkin' sugar coated candyman, ohh yeah

Well, by now I'm getting all bothered and hot
When he kissed my mouth it really hit the spot
He had lips like sugarcane
Good things come for boys who wait

"Get hot, Get hot" someone shouted, Edward clenched his hands in fists

Tarzan and Jane were swingin' on a vine
Candyman, candyman
Sippin' from a bottle of vodka double wine
Candyman, candyman
Sweet sugar candyman

He's a one stop, gotcha hot, making all the panties drop
Sweet sugar candyman
He's a one stop, got me hot, making my ugh pop
Sweet sugar candyman
He's a one stop, get it while it's hot, baby don't stop
Sweet sugar

He's got those lips like sugarcane
Good things come for boys who wait

He's a one stop shop with a real big ugh
He's a sweet talkin' sugar coated candyman
A sweet talkin' sugar coated candyman
A sweet talkin' sugar coated candyman
A sweet talkin' sugar coated candyman

Candyman, candyman, candyman, candyman
Candyman, candyman, candyman, candyman

Tarzan and Jane were swingin' on a vine
Tarzan and Jane were swingin' on a vine
Sippin' from a bottle of vodka double wine
Sippin' from a bottle of vodka double wine

Jane lost her grip and down she fell
Jane lost her grip and down she fell
Squared herself away as she let out a yell
Squared herself away and let out a yell

Bella finished her performance and everyone stood up and tossed flowers onto the stage he saw the men panting and Edwards had enough he raced up to the stage.

Bella saw Edward come to the stage and was confused, his face shown clear determination

He grabbed her face and brought it to his, his tongue invaded her mouth and she moaned. She pushed him back however and he saw the lust in her eyes

"Come on lollygagger, my dressing room"

"I only lollygagger with you doll" with one last kiss they went of the stage and rushed to her dressing room.
