HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY! I just wanted to say that I am so thankful to all my followers. You guys make me so happy with your reactions and thoughts to each chapter. I LOVE YOU ALL! :D
Okay, well here's the next chapter, it's not as short as the others either ;)
ENJOY :)
I woke up the next morning to Edward staring at me and playing with my hair.
"Morning Bumblebee." He smiled, and leaned over and pecked my lips.
"Morning. What time is it?"
"Eleven." Crap. Ang.
"I have to get up and go home. I have to meet Angela soon." I really didn't want to leave.
"Okay." He kissed my lips again, and got out of bed. His shirt was off, and I had the view of his body, it was mouth-watering.
"You okay Bumblebee?" He was smiling. He knew what he was doing to me.
"Peachy." I smiled back, and got out of bed. "Walk me out?" I walked over to him and hugged him, I wanted contact, needed it.
"Of course beautiful." We walked downstairs and out to my car. We made out for three minutes, until I told him I had to leave. I got home and my dad was in the kitchen.
"Hey dad." He looked up.
"Hey Bel." He sounded better than yesterday.
"I'm going to take a shower and get dressed; I'm meeting Angela for lunch."
"Okay hunny." Okay…
"Is everything okay? You're acting weird."
"Weird?"
"Yesterday you were pissed, now you're all 'okay hunny'"
"Look. I talked to Jake. He's not happy about you and Edward, but he says that you're old enough to make your own decisions, and he's right. I don't want us to lose how close we are because of this- because of Edward-" He took a deep breath. "- Bel, you're my world, my little girl, and it's hard seeing you grow up. I could tell how he makes you happy, and I'm willing to try to get along with him. But, that doesn't mean you can disrespect me in my home, or that I won't hurt him if he hurts you." WOW.
"Umm... Okay..." I didn't know what to say "You decided all that from a talk with Jake?"
"Yeah. Now go get ready." He kissed me on the forehead and went into the living room. I walked up to my room. I showered, and got dressed, and then texted Angela to meet me at L&B. When I got there, she already had our pizza and a seat.
"Hey girly!" She hopped up and hugged me.
"Hey Ang." I really missed her.
"So, why have you been MIA for the last couple of days, a guy perhaps?" She picked up her pizza and began to eat it, I did the same.
"Kinda, yeah." She stopped eating and looked up at me.
"Wait, what! Who?" She was excited; would she be okay with Edward?
"Promise not to freak out?" I couldn't lose her as a friend.
"Of course not girl. Who is it?" She was literally hopping up and down in her seat now. I took a deep breath and spoke.
"Edward Cullen." Her mouth fell open, and she stayed like that for a couple of seconds.
"Wait, Edward Cullen, like THE Edward Cullen? Mafia boss, strip club owner, walking sex, god, dangerous but sexy Edward Cullen?" That was a lot…
"Yes, that Edward Cullen." Oh god, please don't react badly.
"I thought he doesn't date?"
"He doesn't… But, he does with me…"
"Oh."
"Look, Ang-"
"How's the sex?" I couldn't help but laugh.
"I tell you that I'm dating Edward Cullen and that's what you ask?" We both laughed.
"Well yeah." She chuckled.
"We haven't had sex. I want him checked before we do. And he has to work up to it. Although, once he gets that STD test, it's done. I want him so bad Ang."
"Damn girl, you lucky bitch." She shook her head.
"So you're okay with it?"
"Why wouldn't I be? "
"My dad wasn't exactly happy." I looked down.
"Bella! He's your dad; of course he isn't going to be happy silly." I looked up and smiled at that.
"I guess. I was just scared you would disapprove. I need you. You're my sister from another mister… and mother, but that's beside the point. I need you in my life!" I felt my eyes becoming moist.
"Aww! Bellie! I'll always be here, even if you make bad choices."
"Do you think this is a bad choice?"
"Would it make a difference?"
"No." I said right away.
"Then, it doesn't matter. But, can I ask you something?"
"Sure."
"Does he treat you right? He isn't physical or anything with you right?" I could see the concern in my friend's eyes.
"NO! He's the most sweetest, gentle, loving person I ever met. I know his reputation, and he might be that way with others, but not with me." He smiled at me warmly.
"Then, no. I don't think it's a mistake. As long as you're happy Bel, that's all that matters."
"Thank you so much for saying that." I had the best friend anyone could ever ask for.
"Anytime doll. Now, when do I get to meet this smexy beast?" Only Ang….
"Soon."
"Good." We talked some more and then started walking home.
"So, Charlie doesn't approve huh?" Angela looked over to me as we walked.
"No. I mean, I know he's just looking after me. But I'm 22; I should be able to make my own choices. And he's all, 'my roof, my rules', I love him but sometimes I wish he would trust me."
"I think he does, he just worries. He trusts you, not others."
"I know. I think I'm going to move out soon. Not because of this, just because I think it's time."
"You going to move in with Edward?"
"Not right now, it's too soon. But, I don't know. I find myself going there every day anyway, so maybe it wouldn't be such a bad idea. But, I think I'm going to wait awhile. I don't know."
"Well, you're more than welcome to stay at my house until you figure it out. I mean, the house is really empty, it would be nice having you there." Angela inherited her grandmother's house when she passed. It was right next to her parents, so they didn't mind. It was fully paid off and her parents helped her with the utilities.
"Really Ang?"
"Yeah! It will be awesome!" It would.
"Okay. I have to talk to my dad though. I mean it's only a couple of houses away, I don't think he will be that upset."
"He'll be upset, but you'll be right on the block, it won't be that bad." We finally arrived on our block. We said our goodbyes and went home.
I texted Edward telling him I was home and that I would come by later. Today was Saturday, which meant tomorrow he would be coming over. Normally my whole family would be there, but they were away in Italy. So it would only be my dad, Jake, Edward, and I. I walked in and went to the living room where I heard the TV, and sat down next to my dad.
"Hey dad. Can we talk?"
"Sure." He switched the TV on mute and turned towards me.
"Well, me and Angela were just talking. She was saying how lonely it is living alone, and I was thinking, maybe I could move in with her…" I let the sentence hang, to see what he would say.
"Does this have to do with Edward?" Of course he would say that.
"Not really. I mean I'm 22; I'm going to have to move out sooner or later. I'm not ready to move in with Edward, and Angela offered, so I thought that if you didn't mind…" He took a deep breath and looked into my eyes, and then he spoke.
So... Whatcha think?
Were you happy with the reaction of Angela?
Do you think that Charlie is going to be okay with her moving out?
And what about Sunday Dinner? ( it will probably be chapter 26- the day's still young in the story!)
And you know... the STD results are supposed to be in today. What's going to happen then?
REVIEW WITH YOUR THOUGHTS?
LOVE YOU ALL :D
