PLEASE READ THIS!
OKAY, SO SOME PEOPLE LOVED THE LAST CHAPTER , AND OTHERS DIDN'T. BUT, I WANTED TO SAY A COUPLE THINGS.
1) A LOT OF YOU WERE PISSED THAT EDWARD AND CANDY, KIND OF FUCKED. BUT THEY DIDN'T, HE STOPPED! I ORIGINALLY WASN'T GOING TO DO THAT, BUT A FRIEND SUGGESTED IT, AND IT MADE SENSE. HOWEVER, I DID NOT WANT THAT FOR THE CHARACTER, I DIDN'T WANT HIM TO DO THAT, SO FOR TURNING AWAY FROM HOW I REALLY WANTED THE CHARACTER, I'M SORRY. BUT WHEN IT WAS SUGGESTED IT MADE SENSE, HE WANTED TO GET BELLA OUT OF HIS HEAD. ALSO, HE IS A MOB BOSS. LIKE HE SAID, HE ISN'T THE HEARTS AND FLOWERS KIND OF GUY. AT THE END, HE DECIDED THAT HE WAS GOING TO LET HIS FEELINGS TAKE OVER, THAT'S WHY HE WENT TO BELLA'S, AND THAT'S WHY HE KISSED HER. SOME WERE WONDERING HOW HE COULD DO THAT.
SO AGAIN, I AM SORRY IF WHAT I WROTE MADE YOU HATE EDWARD. I TRULY WASN'T GOING FOR THAT. I NEEDED YOU GUYS TO UNDERSTAND THE CONFLICT GOING ON INSIDE OF HIM. IT ISN'T NORMAL FOR HIM TO HAVE FEELINGS LIKE THAT, AND WANT ANYTHING BESIDES SOMEONE TO FUCK. BUT WITH BELLA HE WANTS MORE, AND THAT WAS CONFUSING TO HIM. HE'S ALSO FIGHTING BETWEEN HAVING ACTUAL FEELINGS AND LUST FOR HER.
NOW THAT HE KNOWS WHAT HE FEELS, AND IS GOING TO GO AFTER HER, HE WILL NOT FUCK ANY OTHER WOMEN. THAT IS NOT THE TYPE OF STORY I WANT. SO, AGAIN. I AM SORRY FOR TURING AWAY FROM HOW I WANTED THE STORY, AND I PROMISE I WILL NOT DO IT AGAIN.
2) THE WHOLE, WOMEN'S JOB TO COOK THING, THAT IS HOW SHE WAS RAISED. THAT'S HOW A LOT OF ITALIANS ARE RAISE. I'M SORRY IF YOU DISAGREE. I'M ITALIAN, AND THAT'S WHAT I WAS TAUGHT. I'M NOT SAYING THAT, THAT'S ALL WOMEN DO, BECAUSE IT'S NOT. BUT, IN AN ITALIAN HOUSEHOLD, IT IS THE WOMEN WHO DO MOST OF THE COOKING AND CLEANING. NOT SAYING THAT THE MEN DON'T HELP. I DO AGREE THAT IF SOMEONE SAID THAT TO ME, NO MATTER HOW TRUE, I WOULD BE MAD, BUT I WANTED TO PUT IT IN THE STORY. BELLA IS LOST RIGHT NOW BETWEEN BEING IN FEAR OF HIM, AND FALLING HEAD OVER HEELS WITH HIM, THAT'S WHY SOME DECISIONS SEEM IDIOTIC. SO I JUST WANTED TO CLEAR THAT UP.
3) I HAVE DECIDED TO MAKE EDWARD 26. I DIDN'T THINK, ALONG WITH SOME OTHERS, THAT 24 WAS REALISTIC. HE IS STILL TECHNICALLY YOUNG TO BE A BOSS, BUT I WILL GET MORE INTO THAT LATER DOWN THE LINE. I DON'T WANT TO PUT TOO MUCH OF AN AGE GAP ON BELLA AND EDWARD. I AM GOING TO CHANGE THE PREVIOUS CHAPTER, SO THAT IT RESEMBLES THAT INFORMATION, BUT I DON'T WANT YOU TO HAVE TO GO RE-READ IT TO BE INFORMED.
4) LAST BUT NOT LEASE, I AM ONLY GOING TO MAKE EPOV WHEN IT'S NECESSARY. I'M NOT GOING TO DO THE WHOLE PAST CHAPTER THING, BECAUSE IT GETS REPETITIVE. THERE IS TIMES, I'M GOING TO DO HIS POV SO YOU SEE WHAT HE IS THINKING, BUT IT WON'T BE THE SAME STUFF OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
SO THANK YOU FOR READING MY RANT, ENJOY! AND THANK YOU TO MY BETA; COFFEE-FOR-CLOSERS
THIS CHAPTER IS INTRODUCING SOME OF BELLA'S FRIENDS. SO SORRY IF IT ISN'T THAT EXCITING. PLEASE DON'T STOP READING, IT'LL GET BETTER, I PROMISE :D
RECAP:
"What- what are you doing?" My voice was shaky.
"Kissing your neck" It was in a 'DUH' voice.
"I know THAT. But why?"
" Because I've wanted to since I pulled you in the ally. You wanna know what else I wanted to do?" He said, staring strait into my eyes.
"Uh, What?" I said, nervous. With that he angled my head to meet his lips, the second they touched fireworks ignited inside me.
The kiss started off slow, soft, sensual. I had never had this feeling kissing anyone, ever. I felt like my whole body was lit on fire, a warm, comforting fire. I felt like in this moment nothing else mattered. I weaved my arms around his neck and pulled him closer. He licked my bottom lip asking me from entrance, and I obliged. Our tongues explored each others mouths. He bit on my lower lip, causing me to moan while he picked me up and set me on the counter, and then pulled me close to him. He made a trail of soft kisses down my neck, finding my sweet spot and I let out another moan. He made his way back to my lips and started kissing me feverishly. Our heated kiss was broken apart by his cell phone ringing. We both groaned as we broke apart.
"What?!" He yelled, angrily into the phone. It was obvious that he didn't want the kiss to stop, just as much as me.
"What do you mean….How did that happen!… Take care of it!…. No, I'll be right there…Alive" He hung up, and banged his fist on the counter behind me. I can't lie. I was a little frightened. Edward had a look in his eyes, a dangerous, deadly look. His green eyes going almost black. This was the Edward I didn't like, the Edward that a couple of seconds ago didn't exist. I had forgotten about the Edward I had met last night, but here he was again.
"Are-Are you okay?" I asked and his eyes snapped back up to mine. Maybe I should of kept quiet.
"Fine." He was short and brief.
"I have to go." He kissed my forehead and walked towards the door.
"Wait!" I yelled. He turned around and looked at me, it wasn't that comforting look, it was a look that told me to be careful, very careful. "Ummm…. You sure you're okay?" He blew out a breath and walked over to me.
"Bumblebee… I'm fine. Don't worry. I'll talk to you later." His look softened, but I still saw the coldness behind his eyes. I had to remember that he was Edward Cullen, Mafia Boss. Not Edward Cullen softie.
"Okay…"I looked down a little disappointed. I didn't want him to leave yet. He scared the hell out of me, and I still wasn't 100% sure he wasn't going to kill me, but I didn't want him to leave. He kissed me on the forehead once again and walked out the door.
I wonder what that call was about. I'm pretty sure it had to do with his business, his illegal business. I heard that he has clubs, both regular and strip clubs, and he has a restaurant too. I wonder if those are just fronts though. I mean, it could be-
'Been there, done that messed around
I'm having fun, don't put me down
I'll never let you sweep me off my feet
This time, baby, I'll be bulletproof
This time, baby, I'll be bulletproof
I won't let you turn around
And tell me now, I'm much too proud
To walk away from something when it's dead
Do, do, do your dirty words-'
I ran to my phone and picked it up.
"Hello"
"Hiya!" It was my friend Angela Weber. She was one of the few people who wasn't fake. She lived down the block from me, and we grew up together. She was my best friend, but we were more like sisters.
"What's up girly?" I asked, trying to forget about what had just happened.
"Nothing. Bored out of my mind. You wanna come over? Mike and Eric are here. I rented some movies and bought some popcorn"
"Alright. Let me just throw on some leggings and a shirt. I'll be over in five minutes." I threw on my clothes and walked down the block to Angela's house and walked right in. '
"Hey guys!" I saw Mike, Eric and Angela sitting on the couch, fighting over what movie to watch.
"Hey Bel! What do you think we should watch?" Mike said, coming over and giving me a kiss on the cheek.
"I don't care, as long as it's not horror." I replied. If they put a horror film on, I would not be sleeping anytime soon.
"How about The Notebook!" Angela squealed jumping up and down.
"Aww, come on Ang, not again." Eric groaned, looking like he was going to cry. Eric and Angela has been going out for a little over two years now. Eric must of endured The Notebook hundreds of nights.
"Fine." Angela pouted and sat down.
"You know, I agree with the guys. I don't want to watch any romance films. How about….OH! Fast Five. That has action and some romance." I said.
"Fine!" Angela put in the DVD while Mike went to make the popcorn. We all sat down and watched the movie. I loved this movie, I loved all of the Fast and Furious movies. However, the whole movie I was thinking of Edward and what he was doing. He had to leave in a hurry, right in the middle of a heart stopping kiss. Did he regret it? Did he want to kiss me again? Was it just a mis-
"BELLA!"
"Huh! What?" All three of them were looking at me as if I had three heads.
"The movie has been over for ten minutes, and you've been just sitting there, staring into space. You okay?" Angela asked, playing a concerned sister right now.
"I'm fine, Ang. My minds just wandering."
"About what?" Her eyes got big and she smiled the biggest smile I've ever seen. "Or, Who!?"
"Ang. Please not now." Would he got mad if I mentioned him. I wouldn't say how I met him, but were we on terms that I could speak about him to my friends?
"Bellie !" Oh god. She's using the nickname I had as a kid.
"Please, not now. I'll tell you, but not now."
"Fine, fine. Be that way."
"You love me anyway."
"I do." We looked over on the couches and saw Eric and Mike knocked out. They were in such a deep sleep, if a bomb went off, they wouldn't wake up.
"They had a rough night. They went to Midnight Sun last night." Angela said. Wait, what?
"Angela, you know that's a strip club right?" Eric.. If you hurt her…
"I know. I trust Eric. He knows if he ever did anything it would be over. He loves me too much. He only went because Mike begged him. He was on the phone with me the whole time."
"Oh.. .okay." I mumbled. As long as she's okay with it, I guess that's all that matters.
"But you know what Bella?" She said while smiling.
"What?"
"Do you know who runs Midnight Sun?" Angela's smile got bigger.
"No?" Edward has a strip club, I don't know which one, but I heard he does. Is it possible that he owns this one?
"Edward Cullen" I chocked on my own spit as she uttered those two words.
"What!?"
"Oh yeah. That sexy mob boss. Damn he's sexy. I bet he has a big-"
"OKAY! I get it." I said in a semi-yell. I was a little annoyed now. I didn't want her talking about him like that. It isn't like he's my boyfriend or anything, so why does it bother me so much?
"What's got you so uptight girl? We talk about these things all the time." She was right, we did, so why was this time different? Was I jealous? Jealous for a man that I just met, and thought was going to kill me just last night?
"I just. I don't know. You wanna watch another movie?" I said, trying to get her to drop it.
"Oh, don't try to change the subject. You did that before. What's going on?" She yelled. Why couldn't she just leave it alone?
"Nothing." I whispered.
"Lies. I've known you since we were little. I know when something's up." Why does everyone I know have to have a built in lie detector?
"Okay, fine. Something is up. But, I really don't want to talk about it. I'll tell you when I'm ready." My voice held annoyance, I didn't want to talk about this anymore.
"Oh no. Are you- pregnant?" She said with a shocked voice.
"NO!"
"Okay, fine I guess that was a little out there. Especially since you actually need to have sex to get pregnant." Why, why, why does she have to bring this up.
"Why does it matter to you so much that I haven't had sex in a couple months?"
"Eight." She said, matter of factly.
"What?" I asked, confused.
"You haven't had sex in eight months." I just stood there, shocked. Has it been that long- yes, it's been that long.
"Why are you keeping track?"
"Cause, men aren't the only ones with needs."
"I'm fine." I said. I was so not fine.
"Whatever you say Bella! What ever you say…"
"Let's just watch The Notebook" That would shut her up. We sat back on the couches, careful not to wake the boys, like the would anyway. We watched The Notebook, along with another four movies. When we finally finished it was night time.
"You mind if I crash here for the night?"
"Not at all! We haven't had a sleep over in a while!"
"I know." We got settled on the couches and fell asleep.
OKAY, SO I KNOW THAT WAS KIND OF A DULL CHAPTER. BUT, I WANT SOME CHARACTERS TO GET INTRODUCED. IT WILL GET BETTER.
THANKS AGAIN FOR READING :D
