Chapter 9: Surprise after surprise
BPOV
Edward did everthing to make my three days in Seattle perfect. He knew I wanted to surprise them so he paid for me to get a rental, some how he even snuck two thousand dollar into my suite case. I'll get him for that later. My flight was great, I don't think I'll ever want to fly coach again. After I got my bags from baddage claime, I picked up the keys to the rental. Its a preist, nothing special. I drove straight to Alice and Rose's apartment, they got there's right after I got mine, they decided to get a two bedroom since I already haad my own place. Even though we always spend the night at each others place, we were never to far apart. I grab both of my bags and head up to there apartment. I knock on the door, covering the peep hole with my finger.
Alice high pitch voice comes through the door, "Who is it?" She asked.
"Open the dawn door," I demand, masking my voice so they won't know its me. After moments of shuffling I hear a man's deep voice talking to Alice. Then the door flies open showing a shirtless protective looking Emmett, and a scared Alice and Rose. "If I'd known a deep voice and a little demanding would scare you I would have used it long ago," I laughed.
"Bella?" Alice gasped, shocked.
"The one and only," Both Alice and Rose ran hugged me, with so much force the it pushed us into the wall on the opposite wall in the hall way.
"I missed you so much," Rose said on the verdge of tears.
"Yeah, what are you doing here?"
"I missed you guys, So I decided to come see you guys." We laughed and they welcomed me in. I would be sleeping on the couch, but Alice is letting me keep my things in her room. We settled in the living room and its been killing me not to ask, but I couldn't take it anymore. I wink at Rose to let her know to play along she smiles and subtly nods her head. "Emmett what the hell are you doing here without a shirt?" I ask glaring at him.
He spits the water he was drinking out of his mouth, fear flashes in his eyes. "Huh?"
"I thought I told you not to touch my friend,"
"But she is hot and I really really like her,"
"You don't listen, What should I do about that?"
"Nothing, I'll make up to you I promise not to hurt her. I'll buy you another car."
I laughed, "I'm just kidding you have my premission to fuck her since she made clear she was going to do that. But if you hurt her I'll shoot you."
"Got it,"
"Good, get out fairy god mother. Its girls night."
"But-"
"No buts or it will be your. I need to talk to the girls And you can't be around to hear them."
"Why not?"
"Girl talk,"
"Fine," He mutttered and kissed Rose on the cheek and grabbed his shirt and key before leaving.
I smiled at Rose, "You and Emmett seem very comfortable together."
"I really like him, he could be the one."
"I'm so happy for you,"
"Thanks," She pauses. "Not that I'm not happy to see you, but why are you here to suddenly? Is something Wrong with Edward?"
Shit!Edward! He propably thinks something is wrong. "Shit! I forgot to call him to let him know I made it her save. Pulling my phone out of my pocket and turningit on, I have ten missed calls and 3 texts all from Edward.
Call me when you land
-Edward
Call me soon so I know you are alright
-Edward
Please call or text me when you get this, I really starting to get worried
-Edward
I dail his number to let him know that I'm safe and fine. He picked up on the second ring.
"Hello? Bella are you alright?" I can hear the concern in his voice.
"Yes, I'm fine. I'm sorry I didn't mean to worry you."
"Where are you? Are you at Rose and Alice's apartment? Are you sure you are ok? Do you need anything? Do you want me to send Emmett over there?"
"Yes, I'm fine. I don't need anything. I just sent Emmett away so we can have a girls night."
"Emmett was there?"
"Yup, apparently he really really like Rose."
"So you're safe?"
"I'm safe I promise."
"Thank God, Don't you ever ever scare me like that. I was losing my mind."
"I'm sorry,"
"Its ok, I'll let you go so you can have fun with the girls,"
"Ok, I'll talk to you later," neither one of us hung up, we simply didn't want to. Rose glare at me and huphed in impatience. "I really got to go, Bye."
"Bye," I hung up. I not going to sleep well tonight without him, holding me at night and laying on top of me in the morning.
"You love him," Alice whipsered. I nod my head sadly, "What wrong?"
"Nothing, Everything. I don't know if he loves me. Whats going to happen when the six months is up?"
"You are going to stay married. He loves you. I'm guessing you guys haven't told each other yet."
"No, I'm completely in love with him. What am I going to do?"
"You could tell him how you feel."
"Are you crazy? No, I can't just tell him how I feel."
"No, I'm not crazy. You can tell him. Lets talk about something esle how was the party."
"It was great, I meet some of Edward's friends. I meet this guy named Mike Newton we was a real prick. Edward got mad because he was talking to him. I told him how there would never be another one, I basically tell him my heart belongs to him. Do you know what he said?"
"No, you haven't told us yet." Rose snickered.
"All he said "mine," like he gets off on the fact that I love him and him not loving me back."
"Maybe he is afriad to admit his feelings for you."
"So I just keep putting my feelings on the line all the time, forget that." I plaused and sighed deeply. "I came here for a real reason, actually."
"Which is?"
"I think I want to do the movie."
"Bella, that's great. What made you change your mind?"
"Charlie always called me wonder woman. When I was growing up he would says I can do any and everything. Honesty I want to add this to my list of things to conquer. I have complished so many things like; being a black belt, I know three different langauges, I can shot a gun, I can rebulid a engine and more with not add acted in a movie to the list."
"You can aslo be a one hit wonder if you just asked Taylor Swift for her number."
"She gave it to me, we are going to lunch next week."
"You, Isabella Marie Swan are one lucky bitch," I don't feel lucky.
"I guess, I'm tired. If you guys want to know more about the party its an article on Yahoo, you can read. But I'm going to bed its been a long day."
Alice gets me a pillow and cover, after saying good night I curl up and wait for sleep. I knew the reason why I couldn't sleep, and I didn't want to admit it to myself. Damn him! I should have never let my feeling become apart of this. Look at me now, I have insomnia and its all Edward Cullen's fault. I bet he is sleeping peacefully right now. Sleep finally over came me after 3AM.
I woke before anyone esle, it wasn't even 7AM yet. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't go back to sleep. My body ached for sleep, but it ached for Edward even more and nothing was going to change that. Honestly I'm depressed, even more so before I met him. Why do I have to love him so much? Maybe I'm not ment to be loved. Only the three people I have, might be all I'm suppose to have. That's it! I damanged. I not good enough to be with anyone. My own mother didn't even want me why would a man willingly sign up to spend the rest of his life with me. I'll just cut myself off emotional. I won't let Edward get to me anymore. I won't give him the power to hurt me. Let's just call it quits. He needs someone he deserves like Tanya Denali. A single tear rolls down my cheek. Quickly I wipe it away.
I need to be alone. I hurry and get dressed. I decide to leave a note for Rose and Alice I don't want them to worry about me.
I just need some time alone. I want you to know I'm save and ok. Don't worry, I'm leaving my phone. If anyone calls tell them I'll them back later.
-Bella
I leave the note and my phone on the coffee table and sneak out of the apartment undetected. I walk to rental and drive to a nearby coffee shop. I grab a small coffee and a muffin and just let my mind wonder. So many possiblities of what can happen in the next four and a half months. I really don't know if staying with him is worth the heart ache, I already know leaving him will aslo cause my pain. I guess I'll have to choose between the lesser of two evils. Damnit I just had to get drunk and marry a famous guy. I have no one to be mad at but myself, for not thinking before I agreed to stay married.
Taking a walk around town, was doing nothing to clear me mind. I just pissed me off, because there were happy couples everywhere taunting me. All I wanted was to be happy, and be loved and for someone to love me in return. I picked up a late lunch at a a local sub shop. Everthing made me think of him. Giving up, I head beck to the apartment.
In the living room Alice and Rose are pacing. "Whats wrong?" They must not have noticed me come in because their heads snapped up when they heard my voice.
"Where the hell have you been?"
"I went for breakfast and and a walk."
"You have been gone all day,"
"Edward has called 13 times, he is worried sick."
"I'll call him. Geez, clam down." I picked up my phone and called him.
"Hello?"
"Hey," Remember don't let him get to you. Lock away your emotions.
"Hi, how are you?"
"Good, you?"
"Better now that I know you are ok,"
"I'm fine, I know how to take care of myself,"
"What aren't you telling me?"
"Huh?" I pretend to not hear him, to buy some me time.
"Whats wrong?"
"Nothing," I lie.
"Really, nothing. You expect me to believe nothing is wrong?"
"Yes, because nothing is wrong." I lie again.
"Bullshit, I know something is wrong with you. Ever since you got there you have been acting funny; sounding sad on the phone, not calling, and now your disappering. So are you going to tell me whats wrong?"
"What are we doing, Edward?" I asked, I don't know where esle to start.
"What do you mean?"
"What are we? What am I to you? Beside the drunken mistake you married in Vegas."
"First of all, you not a drunken mistake. You are my wife. Where is this coming from?"
"It doesn't feel like I'm your wife," I confessed.
"What are you talking about?"
"Why am I really living with you?"
"Because, you are my wife. I don't know if you notice almost all married couples live together."
"Don't be a smartass,"
"I'm trying to figure out, where this is coming from? I thought we were perfect before you left."
"Its not. I mean it wasn't. You say you want me to be your wife, but you never tell me how you feel. At the Halloween party, I told you, not to worry about Mike Newton, because my heart belong to you. All you say is mine, like you get to take home the prize after the pisssing contest. Clearly thats what it was." I snap then pause giving him a chance to respond. All when he does is sit there quietly, the anger in me raises. "Everyday I sit at home, because I have no friends there. I have given up the only three people I have in this world, so I could be with you. Its like you don't even care "
"I do care," I snorted. "I'm the one who begged you to stay married to me. You were the one who wanted to be friends, I had to talk you into letting me treat you right. You started letting me in, until we had sex. Ever since you would only let me touch you, nothing esle. The halloween party was the first time you let me in. Why won't you let me help you?"
"Because, The night of our first time. I realized that I-I..."
"You what?"
No time like the present. "I loved you, and I'm not interested in being your dirty little secret you get to have sex with."
"How many times do I have to tell you, you're not my 'dirty little secret'? You're my wife, and I love you." What?
"You love me?" He loves me, He loves me, He loves me!
"Yes, I wasn't suppose to tell you like that. I love you, you're my soul mate. I want to spend the rest of my life with you and only you." I gasp.
"Then why don't we go out on dates? Are you ashamed of me?"
"Now that you know I love you, I say this with love. Stop asking stupid questions. If I was ashamed of you, do you really think I would have taken you to the party with me? What is there to be ashamed of anyway?"
"I'm not famous," I confess, feeling stupid that I thought that in the first place.
"Why am I just now hearing about you feeling like this?"
"I was scared that my feelings for you grow for you every day, and I didn't how you felt."
"Why didn't you just talk to me?"
"Pride,"
He laughs,"When are you coming home?"
"Two days,"
"Come home now, please! We just had the second most important talk of our relationship. Don't make me wait two days to see you."
"I'll be on the next flight in the morning." I giggle. "My husband is going to be on tv tonight talking about me, I don't want to miss it because I'm on a plane." We laughed.
"Ok, Bella?"
"Yes,"
"I need you to tell me if something is wrong. I can't read your mind."
"I will, I promise."
"Babe, I got to go. Your husband is about to be on TV in a little while you might want to book that ticket now so you don't miss it, I hears he is going to be talking about you."
"Ok, but he better be nice."
"Would he have it any other way?"
"I miss and love you, Edward,"
"I love you too, I got to go."
"Ok, I got a huge surprise for you when I get home."
"What?"
"Nope, you got to go talk about me. Love you." I hung up and laughed, I knew that would piss him off. A came though on my phone seconds later. It was Edward.
That was so mean of you to get my hopes up and not tell me what the surprise is
-Edward
Its better if I tell you later
-Bella
Better be, Love you
-Edward
"Alice! Rose!," I yelled. They came out of their room and looked at me like I had grown a second head. "I told Edward I love him, and he said he love me too. But that was after he called me stupid."
"He called you stupid, why?"
"Because thats what I was being all day, I'm sorry I was just emotional today. I asked him what I was there for other then sex, that when he called me stupid and pointed out we only had sex once. Then he told me he loved me." I'm sure I had a stupid grin on my face.
"That great," Alice said just as happy as I was. I nodded.
"You mean to tell me, you had sex with him once, after living with him over a month." Rose asked pissed off.
"Two day after I got there we had sex. It was amazing, I had five orgasms that night. He want to have sex but I was scared, because that was when I realized I loved him. And I didn't want a relationship based on sex."
"Five orgasms?" Rose asked at the same time as Alice said "Awww,"
"He just told me, I was his soul mate and that he wants to spend the rest of his life with me." I sigh happily.
"Are you happy now? I don't like to see you sad."
"Happy? I'm so happy theres not a word for it."
"I'm happy for you,"
"I'm going home in th morning. Edward and I need to talk but I'll be back to visit for real next time."
"Good,"
"Let me call and book my flight, then we can watch Edward. He going to talk about our relationship on Jimmy kinnel."
"Its kimmel," Alice giggles.
"Whatever," I sigh. I call and book a flight form Seattle to Los Angeles. My flight leaves at 9:30AM. I'll have to be up and out of here by 6:30AM. After I'm finish booking my flight The girls and I grabs some snacks and curl up on the couch to watch my man on tv. We surf the channels. Until we find it coming on the tv.
There a brown haired man sitting behind a desk, in his mid-thirties. "We have a very special guest star here tonight. He started off his career being Vampire, making women around the world think its 'hot' to date a creature that wants to kill you ok. You've seen him acting in Actions, comdies, Romances. And we got him all hour, Please welcome Edward Cullen." The audience expload into applause, as Edward walks out. He wearing dark washed jeans, and a grean button down. I think its the same one of his the morning I put on the morning we woke up naked together in Vegas.
"Welcome, Edward. How are you?"
"I'm great. You?"
"I'm great too, But we both know thats not what I meant." Jimmy smirked.
Edward smirked back, "What did you mean then?"
Jimmy laughed. A picture of Edward and I walking into the club the other day poped up. "What is 'I'm greats name?' Everyone in hollywood has been searching for a name, but no one could find one."
Edward laughed to, then looked at our picture and smiles. "Her name is Bella."
"Great we have a name, You know that beautiful in Italian. So if your ever in trouble you can tell that."
"She probably already knows that, she speaks Italian."
"Wow, she sounds great."
"She is,"
"I watched you enterview with John letterman with morning and I think we should should watch a little clip." Edward and John's face popped up on the screen.
"So Edward how are you?"
"I'm great, life couldn't be better. How about you?" he smiled widely.
"I'm good. Why couldn't life be better? Is there a woman involved?"
"Actually there is." Edward blushes.
"Who is she? Do we know her? What is her name?"
"I can't tell you who she is because, we won't have our privacy with the paparazzi. You don't know who she is she is not famous."
"What can you tell me about her?"
"She is the most girlish tomboy I have ever met."
"What does that mean?"
"She knows a lot about car, guns, sports; she talks about football with a passion. We actually plan on playing basketball later."
"She plays basketball?"
"Not for a team, I have never seen her play. When I asked her could she play she said: 'I'm no Lebron James but I can play."
The clip went away, and Edward and Jimmy came back to the screen. He laughed. "There has been some talk about you on twitter since that interveiw. Would you like to hear?"
"By all means,"
"First, from Miss_ said; "She stole my man, she need to back off her heart is only going to be broken when I met him. When we meet he won't be able to reisest. HE IS MINE!." Then we have #1_Cullen_Fan said; "Aww thats so cute, he like a little love sick puppy. Well if I can't have him I'm glad he has someone to make him happy." And thats how most of the other ones are. About half either hate the idea or they love it."
"I hate that millions of my 'so call fans' are already bashing her. They don't know even know her. And if they were really my fans they would be happy that I'm happy. Thank you #1_Cullen_Fan it means alot to me."
"You really like this girl,"
"No, I don't like her. I'm in love with her."
"Whats she doing right now?"
"She is in Seattle visiting, my brother and her friends. But she is watching this."
"Ok well, we're going to take a short commerical break and will be right back with Edward Cullen." Oh my god! he just confessed his love for me on national tv. He defended me against all of his fans. He didn't just talk about my body, he actually care. I just want to hold him. Gosh, I miss him.
The girls and I watched the rest of the interview, I fell in love with him a alittle more after it was over. In the last 15 minutes, they finally got around to talking about the movie they are suppose to be promoting. I text Edward to let him know I was going to bed, he knew I had a stressful day. And I had to get up early for my flight back home. Home! Edward is my home. I belong in his arms.
