The minute Edward and Emmett left Alice attacked me and Jasper ran for safety into Alice's room. I had gotten to sleep pretty late as it was and now I had to go to work. Alice's petite body dragging me around the mall is what I dreamed about that night, but I have to say the best part was. When Edward came and rescued me from the evil little fingers of Alice.
I finally awoke from my dream to see that I had one more hour to sleep, but as I laid there is bed I couldn't get that extra hour. All I was thinking about was Edward, the way his hair felt through my fingers the way his green eyes sparkled when he saw something he liked, and the way his lips curled into this amazing crooked grin.
I got out of bed and started to take my shower. I always enjoyed my showers, no one would be able to disturb you and you could just relax under the hot water. I put in my favorite strawberry shampoo and conditioner then rinsed it out. I got out of the shower and let all of the steam jump out of the tub when I opened the glass door. I wrapped a towel around me and then headed to my room across the hall when I ran into Alice going back to her room as happy as could be with a cup of coffee in her hand. I walked completely unnoticed until I stubbed my toe on the wall beside my door, only to have Alice turn around and bounce over to me.
"Well I was going to wake you up in a few minutes, but know that you are up lets get you ready to do go to work." And so the torture began, it started with the hair, then make up, and last it was the outfit. I absolutely loved it, it was like it was a sweater dress a button front top, puffy sleeves, and a bubble hem. I was trying to figure out why Alice put me in all of these bubble dresses.
I walked out of my house grabbing a black and white purse while putting all of my stuff in it for work. I walked into the front of our building only to see a very silver Volvo parked in the front of my building.
"He said he was waiting for you Bella, so I just let him stay do you want me to call security." I never knew what the people were called that opened the door to places, but me and Harry were friends since me and Alice moved into the building. Whenever we wanted someone gone, he would just snap his fingers and security was on their way.
"No, Harry, I should be okay. So how is Anna?" That's his wife me and Alice invited them to eat dinner with us once. She is officially having a kid and Harry could be any more excited.
"She's doing fine, but how are you?" Harry always thought that he had to ask questions whenever we brought a guy home. I remember the first time Alice brought Jasper home. Jasper practically fainted, just meeting Harry and all of his drilling. I think that it was got him prepared for him meeting Alice's dad. I noticed that he was directing his question to the silver Volvo and the person that was getting out of it.
"I'm doing good." Edward was now approaching us and when he was close in ear shot I whispered to Harry. "Be nice." Harry light chuckles came from beside me and then he did not whispered back.
"When have I not been nice Bella, Jasper was way to easy to scare." I let a giggle escaped my lips as Edward finally approached us.
"Good morning beautiful." I loved it when he greeted me like that. Harry's emotion changed from relaxed to father in a nanosecond. I tried to hide my smile as he began his run of questions.
"What are your intentions for Bella here?" Edward's face was priceless while this was happening. He was in complete disbelief that Harry had blocked him from my view.
"Come on Harry stop messing with the poor boy I have to get to work or my boss is going to fire me." I could hide the giggles I was thinking about how funny it would be to get fired by my boss who was standing in front of me. I also noticed that Edward was trying very hard to control himself.
"Well Bella if this man here is giving you any trouble just call me okay." I shook my head and walked around to grab Edward by the hand and drag him to his car. Once we were at the door Edward gracefully led me over to the door which he opened and helped me get into. Then he ran to his door and gracefully got in.
As we began to drive Edward began to talk. "How was your night?" I couldn't help, but think about how my night was. My dinner with Edward the kiss at the end of the night and the way I went to sleep with him on my mind.
"It was amazing, my night couldn't of gotten any better." I blushed thinking that I just told Edward this, but all he did was smile and reach for my hand that was sitting on my lap. "So how was your night." I asked.
"I dream't of an angel and fell asleep to her beautiful smile." He said this like it was perfectly natural to be talking to me like this. Edward was drawing circles on the back of my hand has we pulled into the work parking lot. Edward got out of the car with a big sigh and went to open my door. When he got around to my side I had grabbed my purse and was about to open my door before it was swung open and Edward was offering me his hand.
We walked up to the building still holding hands and walked onto the elevator. The moment that we walked on Edwards lips were on mine. My hands immediately went into his hair pulling him closer to me. Then the minute we heard the bell we were separated and Edward was on the other side of the Elevator breathing heavy and I was leaning against the other side. The door opened to our floor and we got off knowing fully well that office relationships were not aloud. Though they weren't prohibited, we had talked about it last night. That we were going to keep our work life and our personal lives separate.
So when we walked into the office he was my employer and I was his employee and this was our job.
Emmett spotted us and began to chuckle as he walked to us. "What are you laughing at Emmett?" I said as he stopped in front of us to collect his breath.
"You guys do know that if you are going to be keeping this a non office relationship you might want to fix the hair Eddie and maybe take the lipstick smudges off of your face, and maybe fix your makeup Bella." I looked at Edward to defiantly see his hair more messed up than usual, and my light red lipstick covering his lips. I had to giggle at this, but I immediately stopped from the look on Edwards face.
"Well I cant help if I get ravished by a beautiful woman on the elevator." Edward said with a smirk on his face as my blush reappeared on my cheeks. I turned to Edward and smacked his arm playfully.
"Now you can watch me walk away, because that is as much action you are going to be getting today." I said as I walked away from Edward only to have Emmett say his five cents.
"Shes got you right were she wants you doesn't she my brother." I let a giggle escape my lips as I walked into my office only to have Edward walk in moment later and wrap his hands around my waist and pull me close.
"You know it's not nice to tease people, Miss. Swan." I turned around at the mention of my last name.
"Well I guess you are just going to have to get use to it Mr. Cullen." And with that I was on my computer with a very bewildered Edward standing in front of me.
The rest of the day went on like this me teasing Edward then Edward teasing me by the end of the day I was sure Emmett had bets on us. I walked into Edwards office five minutes before work ended and sat on his desk. He was deep and paper work and only acknowledged me with a nod of the head. I hopped off of the desk and walked to the back of Edwards chair and draped my arm across his chest, and laid my head on his shoulder.
"You look really stressed out." I whispered in his ear.
"I am. My eyes are hurting and I am really tense." With that I slowly began to relax his shoulder and he lent his head back and closed his eyes. I slowly kissed both of his eye lids and then walked away and got his coat so we could leave. "Thanks." He said as he got up, put his coat on, and kissed me lightly on the lips. I would never get use to his kisses was all I knew.
We walked down the hall and into Emmett's office to see he had already left.
"So am I taking you to Friday night dinner?" Edward asked. I guess he was he was my ride home. So I guess it wouldn't hurt if he drove me up there.
"I guess so." I said as we walked hand in hand down the hallway and into the elevator. Edward of course being the gentlemen he is opened my door to let me into the car then walked over to his side and let him self in.
On the way to Alice's moms house the car was in complete silence. I had never been in a car were I could just lay my head back and relax without feeling the need to break the silence, but this was completely different it was a comfortable silence. It was a thirty minute drive for a one hour drive up to Edwards house, and when we got there I couldn't be more nerves. I was meeting Edwards parents, but not as a friend of the family, more like a person that is dating your son.
"Bella love, you look nerves." Ah how he could tell I was.
"Edward, I'm about to meet your parents aren't you the least bit worried. What if they don't like me? What if they think I am just using you? What what what what...' Edward quited me by placing one of his fingers on my lips.
"They will love you, love. They also now that you are not using me. So there is no need to be worried they have already met you. My mothers exact words when you left to me were. 'Why cant you find a girl like her'. So you are going to be fine okay" I had to giggle at how exact Edward's mimic of his mother was. But never the less I was nerves. Edward leaned down and kissed me one more time before he rang the bell to his parents house. And the bell to my personal hell.
"I don't want to go in." I whined as the door bell went off.
Edward just let out a chuckle and raised our entwined hands to his mouth were her ran his lips over my knuckles. "You are going to be okay, just relax, and take a good breath." And with that the door opened to show Esma.
"Well hello dears." She looked down and intertwined hands then back at our faces and leaned in for hugs. Esma hugged me first and I let go of Edwards hand to be enveloped into a warm hug. I could never get use to this woman, and from right there I wasn't nerves anymore. More scared of what was going to be coming out of these peoples mouths' about us. We walked into the house to be met by Carlisle who gave me a hug and the shook Edwards hand.
"Good evening Bella, son." We said are hellos and headed to the living room to see Alice, Jasper, Emmett, and Rosalie sitting on the coach laughing about something that one of them had said.
"Well if it isn't the two love birds, it's about time you guys joined us for dinner, your ten minutes late." We were I thought Edward said we were early, Emmett couldn't be right could he.
"You made us late, why do you have that stupid grin on your face." I said hitting Edward across the arm.
"Oww that hurt, we aren't even late. Shut up Emmett." We weren't late that was great.
"Edward, Bella, would you guys like something to drink?" Esma was sitting by a drink cart and began to make the martini that Rosalie had asked for us.
"I'll just have a club soda." I said turning to Edward who had sat next to me on the love seat.
"I'll have one to, I am driving her home tonight." The whole family seem to look at us, with big smiles on there faces'. What was up with everybody smiling like that tonight.
"Why does your family keep looking at us like that?" I whispered in Edward's ear. Only to have him turn to me, with his crooked grin plastered on his face.
"I've never brought a girl home before thats why." He whispered back, I guess a look of understanding was on my face because Emmett's booming laughter filled the room. Along with the silent chuckles and giggles of his family.
"Here you go dear, your drinks." Esma had a pleasant smile on her face as she went and sat next to Carlisle, who was sitting beside Alice.
"So how was work, you guys." Who was work, what did we do at work today.
Emmett was the first to start of course it happened to involve Edward and I. "Well I have to say these two." he said pointing at us. "Made my day. I was walking down the hall to get a cup of coffee when they step off of the Elevator looking like they attacked each other. Edward's hair was destroyed, and they both had smudged lip stick on." Again his booming laughter filled the room along with, Jasper, Alice, and Rosalie who joined along. Carlisle, and Esma sat on the coach, with there lips twitching trying to hold back laughter. A pillow was thrown across the room at, Emmett who caught it and threw it back at Edward who caught it again.
Esma began to talk about her day at home. When out of no where a pillow was thrown at Emmett that hit him square in the face. Then I looked to my left to see Edward's lips twitching trying to hide a smile, but the pillow came flying back in our direction missing Edward by an six inches, and hitting the lobe of my ear.
"Watch it Emmett!" Edward yelled.
"I'm sorry I was aiming for you." Edward look like he could of killed Emmett for almost hitting me.
I put my hand on Edwards shoulder to try to calm him down and whispered reassuring words in his ear. "Hey I'm okay, look I have no holes or bruises, so thats good." I was trying to make him feel better and he seemed to calm down a little, but was still a little tense. I looked back to Edward's family and Jasper to see the Alice, Rosalie, and Jasper trying to hide their laughs, and Emmett pouting that Edward, didn't make a scene. I looked at Esma and Carlisle, to see their eyes filled with appreciation and love staring at us. "So everybody had a good week?" I asked trying to get somebody to say something and get the topic off of Edward and I.
We had all sat around talking about our week, when my phone rang and I excused myself to answer it.
"Hello." I said.
"Hey Bells it's Jacob." I immediately stiffened thinking back to everything that he had said when we had lunch.
"Umm hey Jake." Sound normal Bella sound normal I chanted in my head.
"So what are you doing tonight." Eating dinner with Edward and his family, I wanted to say.
"Nothing, just sitting around doing nothing." I replied.
"Oh so you aren't at dinner with Edward and his family?" What how did he know that I was having dinner with them.
"How did you know that I was at dinner with them." I choked out.
"Alice, told me that Edward and you had made it official and were going to tell his parents. Tisk, tisk Bella, I thought you knew better then that. You do remember what I said right Bella. Your mine, but I guess that you chose Edward, which can only mean one thing." I heard the dial tone on the other line of the phone, signaling that Jacob had hung up.
Try to calm yourself Bella, Jacob wouldn't do anything crazy. Would he? He sounded serious. Just calm down, you have to walk back in there and Edward will know if something is wrong. Remember, take a deep breath and let it out. With that I walked back into the dining room.
Edward looked at me and then his face was masked with worry. I sat down at the table, and Edward leaned down to whisper in my ear. "Love, whats the matter, you look kind of frightened." Should I tell Edward, this did involve him didn't it? I mean it's like Jacob's going crazy. I decided that I would tell him, but should I tell him after dinner or now. Why not now.
"Edward can I talk to you really quick." I whispered in his ear. Edward excused us and then led me into the beautiful lit garden. I was surprised by how amazing it was it had every kind of flower you could imagine, and I looked and smelled exquisite.
"Whats the matter Bella? Your acting really weird." Okay Bella just go out with it.
"Okay so on Tuesday when I went out with Jacob, he threatened me. Told me that if he couldn't have me then no one could. Then right now, he was the one to call me, I guess Alice kind of told him were I was, and he told me that he had warned me, and then hung up the phone." Edward looked pissed. I could see flames in his enraged green eyes. It looked like he could kill somebody just by looking at them. Immediately that saying if looks could kill popped into my head.
"Why didn't you tell me sooner Bella? I could just rip him to shreds, that dog. (Had to.) We need to report this Bella, tell the police what he said to you, this could be serious, and I don't want you to get hurt Bella, do you understand me." Edward looked like he was having a battle inside himself, like he didn't want to tell the police just go and kill him, himself. I thought about what Edward had said. I should I couldn't just let him get away with threatening me.
So that is what we did. The moment we walked into the house we explained it to his family and Alice began to apologize. We called the police were, they came over to our house and took my statement.
"Okay we suggest that you have somebody stay with you to make sure that nothing happens while your alone." One of the police said.
"I have my roommate and her boyfriend living with me right now. Is that okay?"
"Yeah that would be perfect it's just to make sure that nothing can happen to you, and be sure close and lock all of you windows, but until he does something to you, it's just a threat and we can't take action. We are sorry that we can't help, but we have you statement and if he does attack we have a suspect." And with that they left.
We were all sitting around the living room thinking probably about how this night could get any worse, when we looked at the time to see it was around one in the morning. Of course my yawn told on me because Edward was asking me if I was ready to leave.
"Oh no you don't Edward, you look just as tired as she does, all of you can stay here tonight." Esma said, as she began to clean up the tea she had made while going through this whole big mess.
"You really don't have to mom, I can just drive her home, it will only take about an hour." I was tired and from the look on Edward's face he was extremely tired to.
"No and that is the last word. Jasper Alice Rosalie and Emmett will be staying too." Emmett punched his fist in the air.
"YES PANCAKES." He yelled only to have Rosalie hit him upside the head.
"Okay then it's settled, Edward why don't you lead Bella up to the guest room and we can all get some sleep." Edward was having a battle with himself again, but said yes to his mother and led me up to the third floor of the house.
"Here's the guest room and Alice told me that my mom put some clothes on the bed." Edward leaned against the door frame completely at ease while saying good by to me. "Good night love." Edward said as he leaned down and kissed my head. "If you need anything I'm right across the hall, okay."
I went into the room and slipped into the pajamas that Esma had let me borrow, and snuggled into the bed. I tossed and turned for about an hour before I fanilly made my way over to Edwards room. Without waking him I snuggled into his bed only to have him wrap his hands around me in a protective cage, and snuggle me closer to him. I leaned my head back and inhaled his scent which quickly sent me into a dreamless sleep.
Bella's point of view.
I woke up to find that I was laying not on a pillow, but on something a little harder, but still soft. I took a huge breath and smelled the one and only Edward Cullen. I reached up and ran my hand down his cheek, and admired how hansom he looked. He was so tense last night that I could barely see his natural features, but when he was sleeping he looked like Edward, my Edward. I traced his features on his eyes, lips, cheek. I guess he was having a good dream because he began to smile. Seeing him smiled made a smile play across my face. I was still tracing his face when I hand grabbed my hand and intertwined our hands, Edward lifted my hand to his lips and ran my knuckles along them. He finally opened his breathtaking green eyes, and looked me strait in the eyes.
"Good morning beautiful." He said lightly brushing his lips with mine. I couldn't say anything he always dazzled me and looking at him when we just woke up made it all the better. I wanted to wake up like this every morning, and to be held by Edward every morning.
"Morning." I said. He leaned down to kiss me when I remembered that I had morning breath I cover my mouth with my hand. Edward started to pout as I got out of bed.
"What are you doing Bella." He whined, he was so adorable when he whined.
"I need to go and wash my mouth out with something before you kiss me." I said running into his bathroom.
"Bella, you don't see me caring about morning breath. Now get over here and let me kiss you." Edward was so adorable when he was pouting. I walked over to him and placed a chaste kiss on his lips, and then ran down stairs where I heard people laughing. I ran into the kitchen and tripped, right before I was about to hit the floor, I felt those arms encircle around my waist. "That wasn't very nice Miss. Swan." Edward said.
"Well Mr. Cullen, you should know better than to seduce woman." I said saying his last name like he did to me.
"I thought I told you not to call me Mr. Cullen, Miss. Swan." He said
"Well Mr. Cullen a wise man once told me that you don't always get what you want." I said with a smile remembering his words.
"Well this man must have been very smart, we should meet sometime." So he was going to play along.
"Nah you wouldn't want to he's kind of stuck up, pig headed, and I don't really like him." Edward got a dumb founded look on his face.
"That wasn't very nice Miss. Swan. Your going to have to pay now."
"I don't think so." I said as I ran out of Edward's arm's and used Emmett as a shield. Emmett was doubled over in laughter exposing me to a pouting Edward.
We were so lost in our little world that we didn't even notice his whole family watching us, until we heard the laughter around us.
Edwards point of view.
I woke up before Bella did and just watched her sleep. I slightly traced her lips with my fingers not to make her wake up. I woke up last night to hear her mumble my name a few times, and every time that she stirred, she would wake up. I knew that when she began to stir she was about to wake up. I closed me eyes and then felt her hand caress my face like I had done to her, but I was sure hers felt way better. Her tiny hand caressing my face, I smiled to myself, and then grabbed her hand and lifted it my mouth. I looked down into her beautiful brown eyes.
"Good morning." I said to her brushing my lips over hers, her eyes glazed over and I could tell that I had dazzled her. I looked down to see my hand around her waist in a protective stance and I wanted to wake up like this forever, to be able to hold her like this every morning.
"Morning." She said breaking out of her trance. I leaned down to kiss when she covered her mouth with her hand. I began to pout when she got out of bed.
"What are you doing Bella." I whined, while she ran to my bathroom and through through my cabinets
"I need to go and wash my mouth out with something before you kiss me." She said.
"Bella, you don't see me caring about morning breath. Now get over here and let me kiss you." I was still pouting when she walked over to me and place a chaste kiss on my lips then ran downstairs. I ran after her only to catch her fall when we entered the kitchen, which was full of my family (Of course, because we wouldn't have any other thing then that). "That wasn't very nice Miss. Swan." I said.
"Well Mr. Cullen, you should know better than to seduce woman." She said saying my last name like I did to her.
"I thought I told you not to call me Mr. Cullen, Miss. Swan." I said
"Well Mr. Cullen a wise person once told me that you don't always get what you want." She said with a smile remembering my words or was it hers.
"Well this man must have been very smart, we should meet sometime." So she was going to play along.
"Nah, you wouldn't want to, he's kind of stuck up, pig headed, and I don't really like him." What how could she talk about me like that.
"That wasn't very nice Miss. Swan. Your going to have to pay now."
"I don't think so." She said as she ran out of my arm's and used Emmett as a shield. Emmett was doubled over in laughter exposing her to me pouting, Bella looked at me and stuck her tongue out before she went and sat next to my mother.
My whole family was watching us have our little rant and Esme and Carlisle were holding back there laughter for the sake of making a scene probably.
Hope you guys enjoyed the chapter.
I should have one out by tomorrow.
Love you all lots!! Bye...
