Chapter 14

Bella POV

Tree, after tree, after fucking tree, all of which looked exactly the same as the ones before. It was extremely obvious that I was in the woods, but no I had clue where, and no clue when. I turned around and around trying to see which was the best way to go, but I had no sense of direction what so ever.

I felt as though I was going in circles but I couldn't be sure. An idea popped into my head and it seemed to make sense, so I removed me jacket, placing it on the ground, and heading off to the right.

Sure enough, a good five minutes later, I came to my jacket lying on the ground in the exact spot I had left it. Frustratingly I snatched it up and put it on. I slumped against the trunk of a tree. I put my hands over my face is aggravation, throwing my head back.

I heard a noise behind me. It sounded like a twig snapping in two because of being stepped on. I froze. Something moved in my peripheral vision. I slid my hands from my face, slowly turning my head to see behind me, fearing the worst. Nothing was there.

"Time to get a move on." I said out loud to myself. I hopped up quickly, deciding hastily on a direction to head in, opting for directly to my right. I wasted no time in heading on my way, moving quickly between trees and over branches scattered on the ground.

This is a dream, I thought suddenly. It has to be. A dream that felt extremely real. I wanted to wake up if this was in fact one. I squeezed my eyes shut hard and blinked them a few times but I didn't find the scene in front of me changing, like it would in a dream, no it stayed the same.

The feeling that someone was behind me grew ever stronger, and stronger as I journeyed farther into these unknown woods. I found my self turning around constantly; checking the trees behind me for any sign of a follower, but each time, I could see nothing at all behind me.

I didn't look back for a good five minuets. I could defiantly tell that someone was behind me, following, stalking? I heard at least one twig snap. It took all my will power to not start screaming and running as fast as my legs could carry me. I tried to be calm. I wanted to catch the guy or girl that was following me.

After waiting it out a couple more minutes, I turned my head back quickly, giving the person no time to take cover behind a tree; I caught him mid-step. He brought his foot to the ground slowly, other than that, he didn't move.

The guy's head was down making it impossible to see his face and his hood was pulled past his forehead; therefore I couldn't see who he was. The man wore a big black hoodie, zipped completely up, a pair of jeans and big brown boots.

"Who are you?" I asked in a shaky voice. The man let out a dark chuckle and pushed his hood down and lifting his head at the same time. Goosebumps covered every inch of my arms and a cold sweat covered my shoulders and neck.

His looked directly at me and I let out a shrill scream of both realization and fear, jerking back and tripping over a root. I fell back and smacked into the hard ground.

I was panic-stricken and shaking as Phil stepped forward, standing over my body. He brought his hands softy to my neck, brushing along my collar.

"Don't touch me! Go away! Leave me alone!" I screamed thrashing around but Phil was straddling me and I couldn't move.

He grabbed my neck and squeezed, trying to strangle me. I screamed once and fell silent; I couldn't breath.

He suddenly released his grip and started shaking my shoulders. The scene around me started to blur and it all went black.

My eyes opened and I found my self on the couch. A cold sweat covered my whole body. I was shaking violently and I was sobbing.

I then noticed hands on my shoulders and I flinched away.

"Easy there." A velvet voice, right next to me, whispered. I then felt the presence of another person. I looked up, and met the worried eyes of Edward. I relaxed instantly. Edward looked extremely confused and even a little worried by my actions during this dream.

I know that I am a sleep talker. I have been since I was very young. I remember when I was younger, maybe around 8 or 9, my mom announced to me and my only friend that I'm a sleep talker, and just having to have a video to prove it. In the video I'm wearing cow girl pajamas and I'm talking about wanting more friends and that my imaginary ones were getting boring. Long story short, I then had zero friends.

"Bella, what…?" He started asking. Fuck!

Edward POV

My head must have been propped up on my hand which in turn was probably resting on the arm to the couch. My head must have slipped from my hand, jolting me awake. Grogginess washed over me, the feeling you experience when you just wake up. I rubbed my eyes trying to evade the blurriness that clouded my vision.

I was in the living room, on the couch with my legs stretched out in front of me, resting on the coffee table. The room was dark except for the digital clock on the table to my right, casting a weird light glow.

Something next to me stirred, causing me to jump and look down. Curled up to my side, I could just make out Bella's sleeping form. Her chest rose and fell with every intake of breath. Her brown curls cascaded across my lap, looking soft and touchable. I resisted reaching down and letting my fingers twirl around in her chocolate locks.

I breathed a sigh of contentment, bringing the blanket tighter around us, settling down into the cushions and closing my eyes. Not seconds later, they flew open at the sound of Bella's shrill scream. I sat up quickly looking around for any thing that could have triggered her cry. I saw nothing.

When my gaze traveled to Bella, I saw her eyes were closed; she was still asleep. A look of pain and fear crossed her features, she was now squirming around.

"Don't touch me! Go away! Leave me alone!" She suddenly screamed out. Bella was having a nightmare and it scared me. I did not like seeing her like this, so afraid. She flailed her arms. I caught one of her wrists trying to settle her down but it worked to no avail.

She let out one final scream before going silent. Scared, I grabbed her shoulders and shook them roughly till she came to. Her eyes blinked open. Sweat covered and her forehead; she was shaking and sobbing. When her eyes landed on my hands, she flinched and leaned away.

"Easy there." I tried to soothe. Her gaze met mine and her shaking form slowed. Her shakes were less violent. Her sobbing had stopped but she was breathing heavily.

I had to calm her down, tell her everything was okay, and make her believe it. She looked pretty shaken up from her nightmare.

"Bella, are..." She looked frightened about what I was gonna say, making me stop mid sentence. What would I say to her that she was worried? I was confused. "You okay?" I finished.

She let out a shaky breath and nodded her head. Bella seemed to be thinking about something, immediately cringing and beginning to shake again. I didn't want to ask about what her dream had been about, fearing she will panic again. I settled for wrapping my arms around her waist and holding her close. She cuddled into my side, grabbing the hem of the blanket and pulling it around us.

Almost immediately she was asleep, her breathing evened out and her grip on me loosened. I watched her for a while, just making sure, she was okay and she didn't start to have the nightmare again and wake up panicking. My eyes kept closing and quickly reopening, because I had been gazing at Bella's sleeping form for almost two hours now.

I finally gave in, letting my eyes stay closed. I fell asleep instantly.

Bella POV

I woke up at 8:30 a.m. according to the clock on the table. It was kind of dark in the room, considering there were huge clouds. The sun looked like it wanted to peek through and make a morning reveal, but the clouds just wouldn't let it.

I got up quickly, as not to disturb Edward, and made my way to the kitchen. I flicked on the light and made for the fridge. I grabbed a bottle of water and went back to the living room, flipping the light switch as I left.

The room was suddenly lighter, but not much. From the window beside the TV, a long shaft of light shone through where a tiny sliver of sun and come out from behind the cloud. The light reached the couch and ended right on Edward's face. In a daze, I stumbled to the couch and sat down next to Edward, my body facing his so I can admire his sleeping form.

Edward's hair was shining an even more fascinating bronze then I have seen it before. It sparkled in the light, making it seem as if he had golden highlights.

I moved a few strands from in front of his closed eyes just taking in everything he was. Despite Edward's flaws, his background, his arrogance toward women, I still saw the good. He truly cared about his family and friends. I had the feeling he would do anything for them.

When I'm away from Edward, for how ever brief of time, I feel a pain in my heart. Like I went to shower and I was only away for 10 minutes but I still missed him. How pathetic is that? What did this mean? Did I love Edward? Was it possible?

Questions bombarded my head, making it hard to think. Each question poking and prodding my brain as if to say "Just fucking answer me."

I groaned in annoyance, not wanting to answer anything, it was all too complicated to figure out right now.

I wanted to put all these thought behind a wall in a room, lock the door and discard the key, all except for one, love?

I don't think I could spend a day with out Edward. I've never craved anyone's company more. I think… I am in love with Edward Cullen.

But Edward couldn't love me. I know that one day he will get bored of me and leave me or tell me to leave. I just know it.

I sighed and ran my hands through my hair in effort to unknot knot it, but my attempt was fruitless. I grabbed a rubber band of my wrist, pulling back my hair into a messy pony tail.

Suddenly the door of a car slammed out front, causing me to jump, sitting straight up. It was immediately followed by the sounds of jingling keys. I stood up from the couch as the front door flew open, hitting the wall with a bang. In the entryway, stood an anxious looking Esme. Her eyes darted from the far wall to the stairs and back, finally landing on me. When her gaze landed on me and her whole face lit up.

The worry creases above her eyebrows smoothed out and a grin slowly graced her lips, growing wider and wider. She opened her arms out toward me, a look of hope mixed in with happiness. She was probably hoping I would accept her embrace. I found myself running toward her open arms.

Carlisle walked through the front door, with two suitcases in his hands, settling them down on the rug, just as Esme's arms enveloped me, bringing me to her chest. She put her head on my shoulder and squeezed me tightly. I felt wetness drip onto my shoulder and I realized the Esme was crying.

"I was so worried that you were… gone, all of you. I would have died if that had happened, I could never be happy again without you. It was agonizing just waiting for the phone call and even more unbearable being away from all of you."

My heart swelled and broke at the same time. Esme truly cared for me, that much I could see. But it reminded me so much of how my own mother used to be, back when I was younger. My mom would always hug me, even after being away from me for the shortest amount of time. It made me remember her after trying to keep her out of my mind, and for a little while it worked, but these situation made her come rolling back into my head and I nearly lost it right there. I don't even know if my mom was alive.

"Thank you." I mumbled fighting back the tears as I pulled away.

Esme held me at arms length by the shoulders, just looking at me, but I never met her gaze.

"For what sweetie?"

"For caring."

"You're like a daughter to me already. I want you to know that" She leaned forward and hugged me tightly again.

"Mom!" Alice called excitedly from the stairs. Trailing behind her were Em, Jazz, and Rose. I moved out of the way as they all took turns hugging her.

"Come here." Carlisle said softly, holding his arm out to me. I moved closer and he snaked it around my shoulder pulling me to his side.

"I was really worried about you. I look at you the same way as I look at all my other kids. I'm so happy your okay." Carlisle told me softly. He squeezed me tightly and kissed the top of my head.

"Where's the god damn food in this fucking house?" Edward snapped irritably and tiredly as he entered the room, rubbing his closed eyes. Everyone just stared at him in shock; I stared at him in desire. Edward's hair looked even messier then before. As he stretched, the corner of his shirt lifted and a strip of his lower abdomen was visual. I felt the urge to run over and kiss him but I caught myself

"Edward?" Esme proclaimed in shock. Edward eyes flashed open and when he saw Esme, his face turned red.

"Mommy!" He said happily trying to make her forget what he said. Esme smiled making everyone stand clear so she could hug her son.

"Aw baby." Esme cooed as they embraced. When he was gonna pull away, Esme slapped him on the back of the head hard. He stood up in a daze, rubbing his head.

"Watch your language young man." She said testily. Everyone was laughing as they went to hug Carlisle, Edward strolled up to me. He wrapped his arms around my waist and kissed my forehead.

"Morning baby." He smiled, leaning down and kissing my lips briefly. He let go of me, to go and hug his father.

Esme had watched our whole exchange with wide eyes. She was watching me intensely and I couldn't help the blush that evaded my cheeks. Edward came back and wrapped his arms back around my waist from behind, resting his head on my shoulder. Esme broke into a beaming smile.

"Well, come on. I'm gonna make breakfast." Esme said cheerfully, pushing past everyone and heading toward the kitchen.

"Mom, we will cook it." Emmett said. Esme slowly turned around and shot him an icy glare.

"I said I will do it." Esme said slowly, looking at each of us. When her gaze landed on me and Edward, her smile grew and she entered the kitchen.

"I think my wife has lost it." Carlisle said smirking at us and following after her, wrapping his arms around her from behind as they disappeared into the room.

Emmett laughed before shoving Edward out of the way, causing him to stumble back. Em put his arm over my shoulder, grabbing Rose's hand with his other. I shot Edward an apologetic look as I was dragged into the kitchen.

Jazz sat me down at the middle of the island, taking the seat to me left. Em plopped down in the seat to my right, leaving Edward the seat directly across from me. Rose and Alice took the seats on both sides of his place.

"Too slow my bro." Em said to Edward in a booming voice. He smirked before wrapping his arm around my waist. I tried to get away but he was holding on tight.

Edward hands were in fists at his side. They were growing white at the force of his grip.

I reached my hand out and ran them across his. He immediately loosened up and smiled at me.

Esme placed a plate of food in front of each person. The last one was for me; it was two pieces of egg as eyes and bacon as a smile. There was a side of strawberry jam toast, cut into four pieces.

I looked up at her questioningly but she smiled as she shook it off, grabbing her own plate and joining her husband in the breakfast nook.

Conversations started up, but I took no part. I ate in silence, just thinking in general about stupid things like the weather and shit.

I ate a piece of toast and when the sweet jam hit my mouth, I moaned. It just escaped my mouth. Where the fuck did that come from? I looked around and it seemed as no one heard it, although Edward has a strange look on his face. He looked restrained.

I shrugged it off.

"Holy Fuck!" Emmett screamed suddenly, causing me to jump just a little and drop my toast. The jam got all over my hands.

"Today is the football game!" He exclaimed loudly to all of us.

"Giants vs. Jets?" Jazz asked excitedly.

"Yeah, it's on tonight. I totally forgot."

"What's the big deal?" I asked looking at all of them," because the way Em's voice said football, it sounded as if he forgot about something extremely important like the pope was coming to town or some shit."

"Bella, Bella, Bella football in this house IS as important as the pope coming to town, maybe even more so. And the BIG game is on tonight, BOTH the New York teams against each other. This is huge." He explained throwing his hands in the air.

"Sorry that I didn't fucking know." I muttered. He made me sound so stupid.

"Aww its okay Bells, sorry." He hugged my shoulders and went back to devouring his food.

Fuck my hands were all sticky. I popped my pointer finger in my mouth, running my tongue over all the sides as I sucked the jam clean. I did the same to all the other ones.

"Bella, you have something on your lip there." Rose told me pointing. I stuck my tongue out and swiped it across my top lip collecting the glob of jelly I hadn't noticed.

Suddenly Edward pushed back from the island roughly, his chair scraping along the marble floor. He looked around at us with a weird look in his eye.

"Um, I just remembered that…I have been missing my phone for awhile. Hey Bella, come help me find it." He retreated out of the room quickly, climbing the stairs.

"He's such a freak." Rose commented. Everyone laughed and got back into their conversation. I got up grabbing my plate and Edwards and put them in this sink. I excused myself from the room and headed up the stairs.

I made it to the top of the stairs, not giving it a second thought; I turned left and headed for the staircase to the third floor at the end of the hallway. Edward was probably in his room.

As I passed the bathroom, I heard it open behind me. Before I could turn around a hand grabbed me from behind and pulled me into the room. I started panicking and when I was about to scream a mouth silence me. Instantly I could tell it was Edwards's mouth and my whole body relaxed, although I opened my eyes to check. In the dimness of the room, I could still make out his god like face.

Edward walked forward a step and I in turn walked back one. He took another step forward and brought his hands to my hips giving me a final push before my back connected with the door. He pressed his body up against mine; putting his right hand on the small of my back while his left hand gripped my neck.

I could feel every contour, every curve of the front of his body pressed up against mine. I wiggled around trying to memorize it. His muscled abdomen called out to me and I ran my right hand along his shirt clad stomach, reaching my left hand to grab his hair by the roots, tugging slightly.

Edward's unique aroma wafted through my nose and he took his mouth away from mine and his breath fanned across my face. He moved his mouth to my neck, sucking on my pulse point. I moaned at the amazing feeling. He bit down lightly and then ran his tongue over the same spot.

I felt my panties dampen and electricity sparked in my heated core as Edward's hand ran across the elastic at the top of my sweats. He pushed up my shirt up a little and ran his fingers across my exposed flesh, sending shivers down my spine. This was something that I had never felt with a guy ever before. I knew all about it from outside sources but I didn't exactly know all the amazing things that your body could feel and I loved every moment of it.

I grabbed Edward's face in mine, pulling him away from my neck and back to my lips. I moved my mouth against his roughly, but passionately, kissing him with everything I could. I grabbed Edwards's bottom lips between my own and sucked on it, pulling it into my mouth and running my tongue along it. I felt as if I should experiment a little. But what I didn't expect was for Edward to groan and open his mouth, push mine open with his and thrust his tongue inside mine. My mouth froze at his surprising actions. I didn't know what to do.

Edward pulled away and looked at me worriedly.

"Too much?" He asked, sounding slightly disappointed.

"No, its just I've never done that before, like ever and I was just a little surprised. I mean…I don't really know what to do. I have never done this before, it's all new…" I trailed off, catching myself rambling. I was looking around the room, looking anywhere, but his expectant gaze. He put his fingers under my chin and lifted it until my eyes met his.

"Good, because I really need this. You have no idea what you were doing to me at the table."

"What?" I asked racking my brain for anything I could have done to make him desire me.

"You really don't see what you do, do you? You don't know how sexy you come off. You were sucking on your fucking fingers, running your tongue along them. And don't think that I didn't hear that moan. All I fucking wanted to do was grab you and high tail the fuck out of there to have my way with you. It was fucking hot."

Holy fuck, did I really do that shit. I thought back. Yes, yes I did. But I had no clue it was or really even could be arousing him. I smiled lightly at the things that I must do to him that I don't even know I'm doing.

I looked up and saw his eyes were glazed over with lust and his eyes were raking over my body. His licked his lips in an almost animalistic like way. He looked like a lion and I was his pray. I can't lie and say that it didn't fucking aroused me, because it really did. It made me so fucking wet and tingly between my legs.

I grabbed his face in my hands and crashed my mouth to his in a heated desperate kiss. I swiped my tongue across his bottom lips, wasting no time in thrusting my tongue inside. I let Edward guide me and show me how to do it; in fact it was quite easy. He told me it was all bout dominance, gaining control over the kiss.

I moved my tongue against his, rubbing them together, twisting back and forth. I eventually gave up and let Edward gain control. He moved my hands and made me wrap them around his waist and put his on my face. He pushed our mouths even harder together and explored my mouth.

Edward tasted so amazing, like a forbidden fruit that I stolen and gotten to taste for myself, and just like that, I'm hooked. It was a combination of mint and coffee, and these actually going quite well together.

My inner thighs were now throbbing with desire and I felt the need of release. I hesitantly moved my hips against his once. He responded by doing it back, but a little harder. I could feel his erection pressed against me and I have to tell you, it was erotic. I was happy to know I had an affect on him and now I could feel it pressed against me.

With out breaking the kiss, Edward snaked both his arms down and around to my ass, grabbing me. He lifted me and I hooked my legs around his waist.

Edward pressed my back to the door and started grinding up against me again. I rubbed back, moving my hips against his. He moved his mouth against mine roughly, flicking his tongue against mine. Our kiss became more desperate as we both neared our release.

The tingling sensation between my legs grew and the pleasure was building up. My breathing was growing erratic and I was pressing harder and harder. I finally hit my peak and the pleasure skyrocketed leaving me slightly paralyzed for the moment. I cried out in his mouth as the universe exploded in me.

Edward hit his peak after mine and he grunted as he came. We continued moving against each other as we rode out each others orgasms, this being my first. I slumped my head against his shoulder and tried to catch me breath.

"That was beautiful." Edward groaned into my neck.

I smiled at his comment. It was beautiful and fucking amazing, the most amazing feeling I have ever experienced and I'm so glad it was with Edward. The love that I felt for him made its way back into my head. I just experienced my first orgasm by dry humping against the fucking bathroom door for fucks sake, and I enjoyed every moment of it. Edward made it so special and he needed to know this. I just couldn't keep it to myself, I had to tell him, it was now or never. I took a few deep breaths to calm my nerves.

"Edward?" I hesitated, "I have to tell you something."

"Anything." He breathed out immediately. I took another deep breath. I know I'm going out on a limb with this but I really want him to know my feelings.

"Edward…I, I, I love you." I spoke the last word slowly and quietly, I was afraid I'd have to repeat myself. Edward suddenly went rigid and his breathing stopped. His grip released and I cringed as I hit the floor hard. He didn't look as me as he opened the door quickly, running out quickly and slamming the door behind him.

Rejection hit me like a ton of bricks ripping a hole in my heart. The emotional pain was unbearable and swept through me like a tornado. I threw my head back and hit it against the door a few times. I was angry at myself for ruining such a good moment. Sobs racked through my body. "I'm such an ass" I kept mumbling to myself.

Why the fuck do I have to ruin things? I knew someone as beautiful as Edward could never love someone as ugly and as plain as me. I just went and ruined the best thing that ever happened to me. I slammed my head against the door angrily again as hot tears streamed down my face.

I pulled my legs to my chest wrapping my arms around them and rocking back and forth as I sobbed loudly. I knew it; I just knew it could never be.

So there you guys go. Chapter 14. They finally progress in the relationship and bam!!! That little cliffy at the end. Well if you want to find out what happens next I suggest you review. Lets try to get at least 10.

Thank you so much to my beta.
