I'm baaaack! Things in the last two weeks have been pretty hectic, but fun! I've been working at a music festival every night lately but tomorrow is the last day so things will be back to normal! :) I hope you guys are still with me. I know it's been a while.
Enjoy!
The bright sunlight lit up my living room. I opened my eyes as far as I could without them hurting. Bella was still lying with me. My arms were wrapped around her waist, tightly.
"Edward, you awake?" She asked, her voice was filled with sleep.
"Yeah." I yawned. I unwrapped my arms from her waist and we sat up together. "Good morning, love. How did you sleep?"
"You have no idea. It was the best night's sleep I have gotten in a long time." She said and she looked over to me. She leaned over and gave me a peck on the lips. "Thank you."
"No need to thank me," I told her. "We should go out for breakfast." She nodded. I stood to get up off the couch and gave Bella my hand to help her up as well. She took it and I lead her to my room where her clothes were.
When we got closer to my room you could hear a phone vibrating. It was Bella's. I squeezed her hand tighter as we walked in. She looked at the lit up screen then looked over at me with a worried expression on her face.
"Just don't answer it. We will talk to my lawyer about it later. He is not important right now," I told her.
"Edward, I have to worry about it. The last time I said I wouldn't worry about it, he found me and brought me back to him. You honestly think that it won't happen again?
"It's different this time, Bella. You didn't have me. I won't let anything happen to you." I moved over to my closet to grab some clothes. "Let's just worry about us today."
"I don't want anything to happen to you," she said. She sat down on the edge of the bed. This was the first time that we had been in my room. Together. Of course now isn't the best time to be thinking about that, now is it?
"Nothing is going to happen to me. We will talk to someone and figure out the best way to handle this. My lawyer, Emmett can help us out. Now get your ass in the shower so I can take you out for breakfast."
She laughed lightly as she went into the bathroom with a pile of clothes.
While she was in the shower, I decided I should probably call my mom. I hadn't talked to her in a few days and she always worried about me. After the first ring, she picked up.
"Hello?" She answered.
"Hi, Mom."
"Oh, Edward I was just about to call you. How are you?"
"Ah. I'm good, Mom. Actually I am really good. I'm sorry I haven't called. I've been…busy."
"Your father told me about Isabella. I wanted to invite the two of you over for dinner. I haven't seen you in so long I feel like I'm not going to recognize you," she said. And she was serious. I feel so bad for not calling her and "being busy" when she asks to see me.
"Sure, Mom. That would be nice."
"Ok. I'll see you around 5 o'clock then?"
"Ok. We'll be there. Bye, Mom." We said our goodbyes and I hung up the phone just as Bella came out of the bathroom.
I hopped in the shower and quickly washed up so that Bella and I could go for breakfast. When I came out of the bathroom I found Bella sitting on my leather couch in my room reading a book.
"What are you reading?"
"Oh, um, Pride and Prejudice. I love the classics," she told me, looking up from the book. I moved to sit on the couch with her and I pulled her into my chest. She snuggled in willingly.
"The classics are always the best. Now a days, authors are trying to recreate them but there's nothing like the original."
We laid there for a few more minutes as she read the novel. Then her stomach growled and I knew it was time for some food.
"You wanna go get some food?" I asked. She nodded, folded her page in the book and stood up. Her hand was outstretched for mine and I took it more than willingly.
For the rest of the day Bella and I kind of just relaxed. It was the calm before the storm and I sure as hell was enjoying it. We didn't talk about Mike, Tanya, or family drama. We talked about us. Things we liked, didn't like, places we'd been, places we wanted to go. You name it.
We were just relaxing in my apartment, watching some reruns of Friends. It was our favorite show. How do I know that? Because we talked about that too.
I noticed the clock and saw that it was already four o'clock. That is when I remembered that I told my mom that we would come over for dinner. I had failed to mention that to Bella. And I'm unsure of how she is going to take it.
"So I forgot to ask you, but my parents invited us over for dinner tonight. Do you want to go?" I asked cautiously.
"Ok." She said, but I knew there was a problem.
"Are you sure? Because we don't have to go. If you would rather stay-"
"Edward, it's fine. I'm just kind of scared about what your mom will think. I mean we knew each other for like a day and our situation is unique but I hope she understands that I am not just…using you. But I really want to go. I just want her to like me as much as you do."
"Baby, if she liked you as much as I like you, then we might have a problem," I joked. She playfully slapped my chest.
"You know what I mean."
"I know, babe. And she will love you. I promise." I kissed her forehead.
Just as I was about to pull away she put her hand on my neck and pulled me down to her. Our lips lightly touched, but then the kiss went deeper. And it was needy. I moved from her lips down her neck and my hands were playing with the edge of her shirt. "Edward, just touch me already." She moaned. I moved my hands up her shirt and lightly caressed her silky skin. It was such a turn on.
Just then she pushed me down onto the couch from our sitting position. She was now straddling my waist and her shirt was now off, leaving her only in her bra. It was sexy as hell. She leaned down and started to play with the hem of my shirt so I lifted up so she could remove it. She took it off and then started placing kisses up and down my neck and she ground her hips into mine.
"Baby, you shouldn't start something you can't finish." I was so turned on and I knew that we wouldn't have time to go any further at the moment.
"Who said anything about not finishing?" She asked. Fuck. Her hands moved down my abs. I knew she could feel how turned on I was. Her lips began to move down my chest, but as much as I wanted her to keep going, we needed to stop.
"Bella we have to be at my parents in a half an hour and I don't want to go there…not like this." She stopped her movements and she looked down at me with a smile.
"Yeah, I don't think that would be a good idea. Sorry, babe," she laughed as she hopped off of me and grabbed her shirt from the floor. I got up and grabbed mine as well.
"Don't apologize for that. You are so beautiful," I told her. I moved over to her and gave her a light kiss on the lips. She was blushing.
"We should probably get going soon. I don't want to face the wrath of my mother for being late."
She nodded and we grabbed what we needed and headed out of the door. We walked to my car holding hands and I opened the door for her.
When I shut her door, I suddenly felt a rush of nervousness. I was taking Bella to officially meet my parents. I know my dad loves her and I know my mom will too, but this is kind of new to me. I had only done this a couple of times, but this was different.
This time, I knew it would be the last girl I would be bringing home to meet my parents.
Ok, so I hope you enjoyed it. I will be updating more frequently. Please read and review! All of your feedback is very helpful and encouraging.
Oh, and my beta is amazing! Thank you Twilighted4Eternity!
