Chapter 12: You've got to be kidding me
BPOV
The script over all was great, even though the ending sucked. Why did I have to be the bad guy in the end. I kill Edward or 'Douglas'; Edward's characters. I shot him and leave with all the money we stole. Through out the whole movie I play innocent and submissive, then at the end I go straight dom. I don't know what I got myself into. Edward and I read the scrpit everyday since our meeting with. Today Riley is comming over to teach me how to act.
Last night I set the alarm really early so I can be up and showered by the time Riley gets here. After I got out of the shower I dressed in a simple pair of jeans with the knees ripped, blue t-shirt, I didn't put on any shoes because I planned on staying in the house. I made breakfast, for all three of us not sure if Riley had already eaten. I made a voritiy not sure what he would like. As soon as breakfast was done there was a knock at the front door. I opened to who I assume was Riley, he as almost as tall as Edward; he had small curls in his dark brown. Clearly he works out on the regular, because he has a nice body, He wore a tight bright pink shirt, light blue jeans, with chains hanging from his belt, and a white pair of doc Martian. I can see us being friends.
"Hello, I'm Riley."
"Hi, I'm"
He cut me off, "I know who you are, you're the infamous Bella."
"Infamous?"
"Do you not read gossip?"
"I read the one on Edward and I frim the halloween party."
"That's it?"
"Yeah,"
"We have some some work to do then," I stepped aside and let him come in side, after I closed the door I lead him to the living room.
"Breakfast?"
"What do you have?"
"I wasn't sure what you want," I lead him to the kitchen, the breakfast bar was filled with food to where it almost looked like a buffet. We stacked our plates and sat at the small table in the kichen. Riley pulled out him Ipad, and began searching for gossip sites. I ran up stairs to get Edward's Ipad. He wasn't useing it, he gets to sleep in. Riley told me to search TMZ first. In the search bar in on the TMZ website I searched 'Bella Swan'. A small list on links popped up,
Bella at the Halloween Party
Bella at the air port
Bella and juicy beach story
Edward and Bella exculsive interview
Is Bella a movie star? or a gold digger?
Tanya Denali vs. Bella Swan
I clicked the third one since the first two were from Halloween.
When the page refreshed, there was a camera roll so you can click through all the pictures, right under the headline 'Cullen and Swan at the Beach'. Several pictures of Edward and I at the beach; me taking off my shirt, taking off my shorts, Edward put sunscreen on me, me putting some on him, me feeding him strawberries, and us kissing, us taking pictures, and one of us leaving. Not that is was any surprise there was an tiny article.
Edward Cullen and Bella Swan were seen having a cute little piknic on the beach. We watched as they talked, laughed and played. Thing were a little steamy when they were putting a sunscreen. Normally it takes a total of 2 minutes to put sunscreen on two bodies. But it took them a total of ten minutes to rub it in each, clearly these two can't keep there hands off each other. They sat in the sun talking most over their day. They did eat, by feed each other.
I clicked on the last link, because I knew Tanya was Edward's ex. It wasn't an article it was a clip. I turned up the volume and pressed play.
"Ms. Denali, how do you feel about Edward and his new girlfriend, Bella Swan." The reporter asked.
"He is still in love with me. She is just to pass the time by, while I'm over seas filming." That bitch, I mean Tanya said.
"Are you sure? They have been spot together. He has her playing in a movie together."
"Oh, so she is a gold digger, all she is after is his money." I think I had it right in the first place, she is a bitch.
"So you think she is a gold digger?" The reporter asked.
"Well duh, one minute she is a nobody, then the next she is all over the place for dating Edward, and now she is about to be acting in a movie."
"Are you jealous, of there relationship?"
"No, Edward and I are getting back together once I get back to the states. Why would he want her when he can have me?"
"Don't you think she is pretty?"
"She is plain, she had to get a boob job to keep a guys attention. He wants me."
"Have you talked to him?"
"No,"
"What makes you so sure?"
"Because he love me, besides we look better then they ever will. I belong on his arm."
"How do you think bella will react to seeing this?"
"I don't care,"
"She is a black belt,"
"She can't touch,"
The reporter turned the camera, "There you have it folks, Tanya is back, and willing to fight for Edward's heart. Is Bella willing to also get in the ring for Edward? stay tuned. I'm Sam Uley, and we are out."
That was the end of the clip, but I couldn't stop glaring at the screen. Riley cleared is throat to get my attention. I looked up at him he gave me a small sympatheic smile.
I cleared my throat, "If you will excuse me, for one moment." I whispered, he nodded his head, still not saying a word. I grabbed the Ipad and storm up to our bedroom. Edward was rolling over onto his back. "Have you seen this shit?! That bitch is bad mouthing me." I yelled.
"Who?" Edward asked, with sleep still in his voice.
"Tanya Denali,"
"What?" He asked more waking up fully now.
"Yeah, apparently I plain girl who got a boob job to keep your attention. I'm also a gold digger, because I was a nobody now I'm playing in a movie with you. Oh and when she get back she is going to take you from me because she belongs on your arm."
"She is losing her mind, I'll handle this."
"I'm going to have some fun with this, Riley and I are going shopping. There's breakfast in the kitchen."
"I thought you were suppose to learn how to act,"
"I'll learn, just in the car and the mall," I said turning to wall out the door.
"Mall?"
"Yes, unlike like you I don't have a pissing contest. I have war, and I'm about to put ice princess in her place." I turn to look over my shoulder, I smirk at him. "If she think she come and take my man she got another thing comming." Walking down stairs to Riley looked scared I was going to flip out. "I'm not going to lose my mind,"
"What are you going to do?"
"Put her in her place, Damage Control."
"Ohhh, can I go?"
"Yeah, you can teach me the first thing about acting," I grabbed my cell phone of the counter, and it rang in my hand. It was a number I didn't reconize, but I picked up any way.
"Hello?"
"Bella?"
"Yes,"
"Don't you reconize me,"
"No, I don't."
"Its me, mom." who?
"I think you have the wrong number,"
"Renee, your mom."
Oh! "What are you calling for?" I asked confused. Why is she calling? What does she want? Why now?
"I'm calling because I want to be apart of you life."
"Why?"
"Because I'm your mother and I love you."
"That's funny twelve years ago you told me you didn't want to be bother with useless little girl, and then you walked out on me."
"I was stupid then, you are not use less. Look all you complished." Now I know what this is.
"What exactly have I accomplished?"
"You going to be an actress and your dating Edward Cullen,"
"That's it?"
"What esle is there," unbelieveable, how can someone be so selfish. "So when can I meet him?"
"Him who?"
"Edward, silly." There is!
"Let me get this striaght, you call because you want to see Edward?"
"Yes, I mean no."
"Why did you call then?"
"Because I want to start over,"
"Look I'm not interested in starting over, last time I saw you was twelve years ago. You called me useless and walked out on me. I'm grown I don't need you in my life. Please don't call back." I hung up the phone.
I look up at Riley, he is looking at me curiously, I see he want to ask but he won't. "That was my mom she abandoned me when I was a baby. I met her for the first time when I was nine. Now she wants back in my life, because I'm going to be acting in this movie and I'm dating Edward."
"Are you going to let her back in?"
"No. I'm sorry How about we just learn how to act today and we do damage control tomorrow,"
"Ok, I need Edward to be here he is a prop,"
"Ok, I'll go get him," I said before walking up the stair to find Edward getting dressed. I let myself ogle him. To bad I didn't come earlier I would have seen him naked. When I first spotted him he was fixing his self in his underwear. He grabbed a pair of jeans of the shelf, we had to add extra shelfs since I had alot of clothes and so did he.
He grabbed a red button down. "You should put on you dark green button down," I suggested.
He looked up surprise, when he heard my voice, "How long have you been standing there?"
"Long enough to see you fixing yourself in your underwear,"
"You little peeping tom," I giggled.
"Get dressed Riley needs you, you're a prop."
"Ok, I'll be down in a minute."
"Good," I walk back down stair into the living room typing something on his phone. He looks up at me and smiled when I walked in the room. "He will be down in a minute,"
"Ok, first lesson first I need you to learn to look at people, and see there character." Edward walks in the room looking Damn good. "Great you're here," He said to Edward. Edward smiles his. "You both know I'm gay, right?"
"Yes," Edward and I answer at the same time. "What does that have to do with anything?" I ask.
"Because, we are going to do some exercise where going to do some thing and I don't want to get my ass kicked."
"I won't kick your ass," Edward smirked.
"Good, because she not my type,"
"Ready to start?" I ask.
"Yes, I need you to come lay down on the chaise," I look at his questioningly, but lay down anyway. Riley came over leaned, pushes his hand un my back, and hitches my legs over his hip. I gasp in shock. Edward growls, I love it, and now my panties are wet. "Easy there big boy, strictly-dickly" Riley said. I would have giggled if I wasn't so turned on right now. Damn you Edward.
Looking over at Edward, his fist are balled up and his eye are almost black with rage. Does he not know how hot he is? Doesn't he know he can't do that? "Umm. . .Edward I think you should leave."
"No, I think I'll stay." he says still glaring at Riley
"Edward you not really helping me."
"Yes, I am."
"Well then, stop growling you know what that does to me."
Edward eyes snapped to mine, his glare soften and a smirk played on his lips. "Sorry,"
Nodding my my head to Riley and closed my eyes. Breathe. I opened my eyes tolooked up in Riley's eyes. "I need you to look at me and see Edward,"
"What? that makes no sense,"
"I'm playing Edward the character. When you are playing in this movie you can't look at Edward and see him. If you do, you won't to be able to bring yourself to shoot him. Even if it just acting." I guess that makes sense, I think. "Now picture me with smoldering green eyes, and sexy just-fucked hair." I laughed. "This is serious,"
"Ok," We finally go it together, Then Riley had Edward and I do it to. All we did was make out. Until party popper Riley broke us up. He said it was getting pretty heated between the two of us. The rest of the day we just hang out.
And that is pretty much how to next two weeks went. Act all morning and hang out all night. Filming was pushed back another two weeks, Aro wanted to make sure I was ready so we had a table sitting. To make sure every one knew their lines. Riley was with throught thick and thin. He is my right hand man though it all. He was even going to be going to New York with me. He was happy to go to New York, but sad to leave his boyfriend. Which Edward promised to fly him out every weekend, and that made him happy again.
