Now it's time for Bella and Esme's conversation... Enjoy :)


"You going to be okay bumblebee?" His parents looked at him odd when he said my nickname. I just smiled and nodded. Sooner or later I would have to talk to his mom, might as well be sooner.

Edward gave me a kiss on my forehead and walked away with his father behind him, patting him on the back. I turned back to Esme, my heart was racing.

"Would you like to go sit on the couch and talk Bella?" I just nodded, not trusting my voice.

"So Bella. How did you meet my son?" Esme asked as we sat down on the couch. Oh God. What do I say?

"We kind of just ran into each other." Yeah, that's good. Technically we did, I don't have to say WHY we ran into each other.

"Uh huh. I see. Do you know who he is?" Crap. I was so nervous. I am not ready for this. Shit.

"Edward Cullen." That sounded like the stupidest answer I could ever say. She chuckled.

"Yes hunny, I know that. But do you know WHO he is?"

"Yes." I kept it short, I didn't know what I should say, how much I should say.

"And do you know of his past… relationships with women?" Oh God. Was there some way I can escape this? A hole I could crawl into.

"Yes I do." She looked at me shocked.

"You do?" She asked.

"We talked about it." I looked down shyly.

"And you accept him? For who he is, and his past?" She sounded hopeful.

"Yes, I do. I understand there is a lot that we will face, but I'm willing to try. I really like your son Mrs. Cu- Esme, and I would like to get to know him better, and see where that takes us." I was beyond nervous at this point. What if she didn't like me, didn't think I was good enough for her son? Would she tell Edward to stay away from me? Would he listen?

"Thank you." She pulled me into a hug. I was startled.

"You-You're welcome." I hugged her back.

"Oh you must think I am a little nutty. I'm sorry. I just never thought I would see that day that my son would bring home a girl." I looked at her confused. "Oh Bella, he never once brought a girl to his house. Hotels, offices, where ever else, yes. But never to his home. Never introduced a girl the way he introduced you. I have never seen light in his eyes the way I did when he looked at you. I am just so happy. I always worried about him. My other two sons, I believe you met them, they found their other halves. But my Edward, I always worried. But I have no need now. " Her eyes were watery as she made her confession, but a smile wide on her face. My nerves settled down as she said this.

"I'm glad I can be that person. I have to admit, when I first met him I was terrified of him, I knew of his reputation. But now, when I'm with him things are just so…. Clear, safe, loving, happy-"

"Right." She finished for me, smiling.

"Yes, right. And although we had had some rough patches, and probably will in the future, we'll hopefully get through them. Because your son makes me feel like I have never felt. I feel whole with him." It was a confession that I had yet admitted to myself, and it felt good to admit it.

"Oh hunny. That's great. I'm so happy, for both of you."

"Thanks Esme." I smiled at her and she began to speak once more.

"So, why did he call you Bumblebee?" I blushed red at the memory.

"The first time we met, I kept lightly punching him in his chest. He said it felt like bee stings, so he calls me Bumblebee." I smiled at the nickname.

"That's lovely." She smiled at me again.

"It is." Her smiling was contagious and I couldn't stop. I heard footsteps walking up behind us and turned around and saw Edward and his father smiling at us.

"Mom, tell me you didn't scare Bella into running away from me." He gave his mother a kiss on the cheek and sat next to me, pulling me to him. His father sat next to Esme and draped his arm around her.

"Of course not. She's a doll, Edward. I'm so happy you found each other."

"Me too." He said as he looked down on me. We were cut off from our daze when his father spoke.

"Anyways you two. We should get going, it's getting late. Bella, it was a pleasure to meet you and I look forward to seeing you again. Edward, call me if you find anything out." Edward just nodded, and I wondered what was going on. Did it have to do with why we were interrupted today? All of us stood up and said our goodbyes, and Esme and Carlisle left. Edward turned towards me and wrapped me in a hug, with his chin resting on my head.

"So what did you two talk about?" I snuggled closer to his chest.

"You and me and how happy she is that you have me." I smiled against his chest and could feel him smiling himself.

"Well, I'm happy too Bumblebee." He looked down and me and gave me a gentle kiss. "Do you want to go upstairs and finish what we started when we were once again interrupted?" He had hope in his eyes, and mischievous in his smile.

"Edward! I am not having sex with you yet. I told you-"

"-that until I get a test, and we spend more time together no sex. I know baby. But, that doesn't mean we can't be teenagers again and make out… on a bed." He winked at me and through me his panty dropping smile and I couldn't refuse. We ran up the stairs, up to his room, and started making out once again. This time we would stop because we wanted to, not from some damn interruption.

We made out for a while, learning the insides of each other's mouths. Edward was an excellent kisser. The way he made me feel, just from his lips on mine was out of this world. Edward was like my drug, I needed him, no matter what he does to piss me off.

Edward began kissing down my neck, right to my sweet spot just below my ear. I moaned out in pleasure, bringing me back to the time we were in my kitchen. He nipped and sucked on my neck, and I would definitely have a hickey once he was done. He kissed lower down my neck until he got to the outline of my bra.

"Edward… We need to stop." I was panting now. My body was on fire, and I wanted more of him. But I was going to stick to my guns. He groaned in protest, but moved back up my body, giving me a chaste kiss on the lips and laying on his side, facing me.

"You're beautiful, you know that?" My cheeks heated up at his words. "I love it when you blush. I love what I do to you." I felt my face become redder than it already was. I decided to change the topic, and allow my body to cool down.

"So is everything alright? Today at La Famiglia, and then your father coming over?" I asked as I turned my head to get a good look at him. Was this something I shouldn't ask? He took a deep breath.

"The cops found out about something, and it was someone in our family that told them. That's all I can say Bella, and that's already too much." I could sense how hard for him it was to say anything. He rather keep me out of it, but I gave him conditions, and he was trying his best to accommodate them.

"Okay. Just promise me you'll be careful?" His face softened.

"I will."

"Good." I said while leaning over and giving him a quick kiss.

"So Bumblebee, is it too soon to ask you to stay over? Just to sleep. I would really like to hold you in my arms as I sleep." I looked at him with awe. How was it possible, that a day ago I was so pissed at him, and now every time I looked at him my heart skip a beat.

"It's probably too soon." I stated. I watched his face fall, and him compose himself quickly.

"I understand." I could hear the sadness in his voice as he looked down.

"But who cares? " His head snapped up, and his eyes grew wide.

"Word Bumblebee?"

"Yes Edward. I would love to stay over, but just sleeping." I looked at him strictly.

"Yes ma'am." He said as he leaned up to kiss me. We got undressed. He gave me a pair of sweats to wear and a t-shirt and he was just his pajama pants. I wanted to jump him right there, because he looked so fuckable. But, I would not give in. He knew what he was doing to me, I could see right through that sexy ass smile. We got into bed and he wrapped his arms around me, while we drifted to sleep.


So what did you think?
