I don't own anything. I cannot believe the response I got to the last Chapter.
I'm glad you enjoyed.
Chapter 7- Out in the Open
I have officially been living in my house for two whole week now. Two whole weeks of slumber parties, and restful nights. Alice had excitedly agreed to move in, she said she thought I would never ask. She took the bedroom furthest away from mine, I liked her sensibility.
"Bella, lets have a girls night in. We haven't done anything together since before school started." She was giving me the pouty face, a face I couldn't refuse. I told her yes, and she was off to call Rose. Emmett had decided to stay in town for a few weeks, and told me he was going to make a smart decision this time. Edward and Jasper had quickly became good buddies, and were at a clinic showing the younger squads how to work complicated stunts. Alice was again perched at the island in my kitchen, her fingers tracers the granite counter top.
"Ok, we'll see you in a few." She said flipping her phone shut. Upon telling me that Rose would be here in a few, she launched herself off the stool and into the living room. She was back in a flash, holding a receipt.
"Oh, Bella I forgot to tell you. I had something made to get back and Lauren and Jessica. Only thing is though, we have to make sure that nobody knows it was me." She ended, I never liked it when she used those words. I raised an eyebrow, I could visibly see her shaking with excitement. What did she have planned?
"Ok, tell me." I commanded. I sat on the stool next to her and listened with open ears. In the end, it made me laugh; it was always fun to resort to your high school tactics when nothing else worked.
"Like I said, we have to make sure no one knows. You are the only person I told about this. I even had Tyler tear up his work copy." She informed me. Just like Alice, covering up every trace of her mischievous work.
"So, how are you and Jazz?" I asked, we had missed out on so much this past month. It was like getting to know each other all over again. She smiled, that was a good sign.
"Good, I'm so glad I told him how I felt about everything." She told me. It still amazed me that all she had to do was threaten to leave him, and he manned up. I wish she would have done it sooner.
"How are you and Edward? Have you, you know, done it yet?" She stuttered. How old were we, 16. I laughed.
"You haven't!" She shouted. I laughed even harder.
"No Alice, we have. How old are we now, 16? I think that we are mature enough to say the word sex." I teased her. Her bottom lip stuck out, and she crossed her arms over her chest. I laughed even harder, I knew she would press for details.
"I cant believe you didn't tell me." She pouted.
"Yes, we have. And it was amazing. he does this amazing thing with his tongue…"My voice trailed off because Alice's eyes were begging me to stop. I looked at where her eyes were darting to every few seconds. Emmett stood in the doorway, arms over his chest and a scowl on his face. Rose was at his side, it looked like she was trying not to laugh. I took in an unsteady breath, it had just hit me that Emmett definitely felt like he needed to protect me.
"I really do not want to hear about anything like that Bella. It makes me want to go and punch him in the face. And secondly, please tell me you are being safe. I know that you feel that you are all grown up and you know it all, but please…" He begged. I had tears in my eyes, he had never before shown that kind of care for me. It made me wish he had been around longer when I was in high school. I got up, and went to him wrapping my arms around him. I hugged him as tightly as I could manage, and kissed his cheek.
"Yes Emmett. I am being very safe. And I don't think I know it all either." I told him. He relaxed and hugged me back.
"Ok, so I am understanding that you all are having a girls night in" his fingers made quotes in the air.
"And I am not invited?" He questioned. I giggled at him, leave it to Emmett to want to stay for our slumber party. Rose handed Lilly to him, letting him kiss her goodbye, and then waited for her own kiss. He left her things by the counter, and left the house. Alice was the first to lose her composure. Rose followed quickly after that.
"So tell me Bella, what does he do with is tongue?" Rose asked through her giggles, Lilly was watching her with a confused expression on her face. My serene mood lifted as I burst into a fit of giggles. Alice was right, we did need this.
It was well after midnight when I finally tucked into bed. Edward and Jazz had came home around ten, and upon Alice shooing them from the living, they went to play pool. But right now, I was missing him badly. Every night he had been sleeping next to me, and I was already feeling empty. I must have fallen asleep, because the next thing I knew the bedroom door slammed shut. I jumped quickly, my eyes adjusting to the dark room. Edward stood shirtless in the light of my window, his back facing me.
"Hey." I whispered, he turned to me. His steps wavered, and he stumbled as he neared the bed.
"Hey." He replied. The smell of liquor staggered me as he leaned in for a kiss. I kissed him, thinking that this is what he had to endure the night of my birthday.
"You're drunk." I examined him, he seemed to be in one piece. No hickies, or scratched anywhere. I shuddered at myself, I couldn't believe the things I was thinking.
"I missed you." He slurred. I welcomed him into my bed, he instantly curled into me. I snuggled closer to him, smoothing his messy hair out of his face.
"I missed you too." I told him. His lips found mine in the dark, and he pushed my tank top strap down my arm.
"Bella." I loved hearing my name on his lips. I melted into him again, I didn't care if he was drunk. Just like he didn't care when I was.
"Bella. I missed you so much tonight. I know it sounds pathetic, but I just couldn't stop thinking about you." He was pouring his heart out to me. I listened, letting him tell me everything.
"I'm so in love with you. I have to have you with me, all the time. When we are apart I feel empty, like I don't have a heart. You've stolen it, and I never want it back." He whispered in my ear. His words were no longer slurred, was he already sobering up? I didn't linger on that thought though, because he had just said the most pivotal word to me. He loved me, now I had to say it back. I had been waiting for him to say it first. Well, I did say it when I was intoxicated myself, but who knows if he heard it or not.
"Oh Edward, I love you too." I whispered back. I let his lips take over from there. When he stopped it was abrupt and almost hurt. All his weight rested on me, and he was squishing me.
"Edward." I whispered, kind of pushing his shoulder. He let out a grunt. He was asleep. He got me all worked up and fell asleep. I finally managed to wiggle out from underneath him, and got him covered up with the quilt. He pulled me to him.
Well there goes my fun. I guess the alcohol finally won the battle. I thought. I kissed his lips lightly, taking him his sleeping form. He was so handsome, even in the murky light of my room. His full lips, and perfect nose. I could stare at him all day.
I'm really sorry it's so short. I've been super busy, and haven't been feeling well either. I'm planning on getting a much longer chapter up in a few days.
