Chapter 4: The morning after.
Edward~
I woke up this morning next to an angel; her hair covered her pillow and her face. I looked at my watch and it read 10 after 5 so I knew I had to get up and go to my own bed so we would not get caught by Alice or worse my mother. I didn't know what they would think because we had just met and were naked in bed together, not a good way to start the morning.
I slowly removed my arms from around Bella causing her to stir.
"Mmhh, where are you going?" She said in a groggy voice full of sleep, her voice was still the loveliest I have ever heard.
"Shh, go back to sleep I need to go to my own bed so we don't get caught." I gave her a kiss on the forehead and got out of bed. I gathered up my clothing and went threw the bathroom to my own room. Taking one more look at my angel I walked into my room.
I knew I had to mess up my bed or something just incase my mom came in and noticed I had not slept in it that night. Throwing my blankets around and squishing and moving my pillows, I was quite satisfied and went into the bathroom to have a shower.
In the shower I replayed last night in my head. I could have sworn I heard Bella say 'As I love you' before she fell asleep. Had she heard me tell her I loved her? Was she already dreaming? Well I don't know and I am not about to ask, if she loves me it will come out one day. I hope she still wants to be my girlfriend; OMG Cullen settle down everything will be fine.
Yeah Cullen, everything will be fine…
Oh shut up you don't know anything.
Well actually I am your conscience I know everything. Thanks though!
Well if you know everything then did Bella tell me she loved me last night?
I dunno did she? I think you should no it is common sense, you tell her you love her and four seconds later she tells you it right back.
OMG she loves me!
"She loves me." I said with a little too much excitement well in this case there is not too much excitement at all.
"Who loves you?" Fuck!
"ALICE!" I whined. "What are you doing in here? GET OUT! I am having a fucking shower!"
"Sorry, I just needed to talk to you…"
"What about?" Fuck I wish she would hurry up, I have to get ready for school.
"Well about Bella." What?
"What about her?" Oh no, what if she told Alice that she did not want to be with me. Shit, what am I gonna do?
"Well she kinda told me about last night, I just want to know if you are for real because if you hurt her Edward I swear to god I will kill you!"
Knowing my little pixie she was not lying she would do it. And I am not going to hurt Bella I love her.
"I am for real Alice I am not going to hurt Bella I love her."
"Okay, that's all I wanted to know BYE!"
Wow she is pretty strange… oh well you have to love her, you just can't not.
I got out of the shower and got dressed, putting on a pair of dark faded jeans and a black long sleeved button down I went down stairs with the rest of my family to eat breakfast and see Bella. I wonder what she is going to act like in front of my family. Will she ignore me? Will she give me a kiss to let everyone know we are dating? I hope so I want everyone to know that she is mine!
So I walked down stairs to find my family sitting there eating breakfast along with Bella, she is so beautiful. She looked at me from across the island with a confused expression.
"Uhmm, well I should go and bring my stuff over to my house and grab my book bag for school…" She gave me a look that kinda looked like 'COME!'
So after she left I said my good byes and walked over to her house. Knocking on the door 3 times before it was swung open by a very enthusiastic Bella.
"Come in." She sounded a little out of breath.
"Hi… I just wanted to-" but I was cut off from a very eager kiss form my love.
"What was that for?" I asked a little confused.
"What a girl can't kiss her boyfriend? Or are you not really my boyfriends…?" She looked kind of sad. No I will not have nay of that.
I picked her up and gave her the most loved filled kiss I could muster up, it was hot and sensual, and of course full of love.
"Bella, you are my girlfriend, I just didn't know if you still wanted to be because you never said anything to me this morning."
"Well I didn't know how you wanted to act in front of your family, or if you were even serious about last night." Was she for real? Of course I was serious.
"Bella, baby of course I was for real. And you are my girlfriend and that is how I want to treat you, not only in front of my family but also in front of everyone. I want everyone to know that you are mine and I am yours." She gave me the most wonderful smile and buried her face in my chest.
"Are you ready for school? I will give you a ride if you like?" She nodded and grabbed her things, and we set of to her first day at Forks High school.
We got to school to see that my siblings had already arrived. I walked her to the office to Ms. Cope to get her schedule for her classes.
"Hello Ms. Cope." I said to the woman that I am sure had quite the crush on me. Not to be modest but her face always became flush and she had trouble forming coherent sentences when I was talking to her.
"OH! Edward, Ho-how are you…?" She said quite breathlessly.
"I am fine thank you; I am just here to pick up Bella's schedule."
"Oh yes Ms. Swan I have your schedule right here." She passed it to Bella along with a slip for all of her teachers to sign.
"Thank you Ms. Cope." My angel said in a very respectable voice that must be reserved for adults.
"Your welcome dear, just have all your teachers sign that piece of paper and bring it back to me at the end of the day. Have a wonderful day you two."
"Thank you again Ms. Cope and same to you." We walked out of the office with my arm around her waste will looking over her shoulder to see if we had any classes together.
"Well do we have any classes together?"
"Umm well yes, Second period history, lunch fifth period biology, and eight period gym." I said a-matter-of-factly.
"Oh well at least… Shit! Hide me!" I looked around only to see Newton waving and making his way over to me and Bella.
"BELLA! OVER HERE, IT'S ME MIKE, MIKE NEWTON!!" How many of this kids bones am I gonna have to break?
"Cullen." He said with a nod and some not so well hidden disgust.
"Newton, how about you stay away from my girl friend and I won't re break your arm again?" I said looking him in the eye to show him I was for real.
"Holy Cullen I just wanted to see if me and Bella had any classes together, you know maybe get to know her better…" He said with what was supposed to be a seductive voice but was actually quite revolting.
"Actually Mike, I am sorry to say but if I have any classes with you I will be sure to trade them for something else, bye now." Wow my baby's got some spunk, Rosie would love her!
Walking away from a very speechless Newton I leaned over to whisper in Bella's ear.
"Wow I can see you can take care of yourself, but you have to be careful with Mike, once that kid see's something that he like's he wont let off until he get's it, you should have seen what he did to that poor Jessica Stanley just so she would say his name. It was quite pathetic I might say so myself." With a laugh I looked down at Bella's face she had a look of horror plaster across it like someone just killed her family in front of her and laughed about it.
"What's wrong Bella?" I was starting to get worried when she just stood there. "Bella! What's wrong?"
"Did-did you just say you bro-broke Newton's ar-arm?" Woops...
"Uh yeah at the beginning of the year he pulled up Alice's skirt in front of a bunch of guy's so I broke his arm and told him he would never lift up another skirt in his life." Shit I hope she does not think bad about for this…
She looked thoughtful for a minute. "Hmm the protectful brother."
"As well as the protectful boyfriend love."
We walked in silence for most of the walk to her first class except for all the whispers and a couple of girls I had to slap off me.
"Eddie-Bear, why haven't you called me?"
"Jessica please, we are not together we never were I have a girlfriend, please just walk away."
"What this slut!" Oh no she didn't! Just as I was about to tell the bitch off my little fire cracker jumped in.
"Excuse me? What did you just call me? You are the slut for running up to how many guys and asking why they haven't called you that's a slut right there. Please!"
"You bitch!" She walked up to my Bella and slapped her in the face.
I was going to break the man law of not hitting woman when my Bella surprised me again and punched Jessica right in the teeth. Wow I might have to get some moves of my girl, she's good!
"Don't you ever come near me or my boyfriend ever again, and if you do I swear Skankley it will be the last thing you do outside of a hospital bed."
That little escapade made me scared of my girl.
"Wow darling that was somthin I don't think I will have another girl from this school approach me again! Thanks baby."
"I didn't do it for you Edward, I did it to let those bitch know whose boss, and know who is running this school now. I am not going to put up with anyone's bull shit." Hmm, was it possible to love this girl anymore?
I pushed against her locker and gave her a very urgent kiss which she complied with, with much enthusiasm.
"Alright baby, your first class is right in that door; I can now see you can handle yourself. And I have to get to my own class. She you next block." I blew her a kiss and walked myself my English, I am just glad to know she has Alice this block it made me feel a lot better.
Bella~
After Telling off mike and punching Jessica in the face, I could see this was going to be a good day. I walked into my first period English class when I saw that little pixie.
"Hey Alice! How are you?" I walked over and took the seat beside her. "Is this seat taken?"
"No Mr. Burton moved this Jake kid that sat here so the new girl could sit with ME! And I am good, I heard you told off Newton and punched Stanly in the face. Good first day?"
"Actually yes to tell you the truth." I turned to pay attention to the teacher; I let my mind wander over to Edward and the thought that he may have been the slut of the whole school. I was not impressed at the least.
I didn't even realize that class was out until I had Alice waving her hand in front of may face.
"Bella… class is over… hellooo…" I snapped out of it and stood up.
"Thanks Alice, sorry my mind just wondered. Hey I have a question, was Edward the slut of the school before I came?"
She just laughed hackling like a hyena. "No Bella, he just has girls throwing themselves at his feet on a daily basis, im not lying. It is actually very sad…" and she walked away turning around at the door. "See you at lunch." And she was gone. Leaving me to think about what I was going to have to put up with, being with this god and everything. I had to laugh at myself for the thought.
I made my way to my class with Edward but not before running into someone. I knew it was too good to be true that I told someone off caused physical harm and had yet to fall on my face.
I tripped over my own two feet and landed in a pair of very strong arms.
"Umm, sorry…" I said as I looked up at a guy you must have been around 6 foot 5 with dark russet colored skin and a grin of razor sharp white teeth. He was gorgeous.
"That's quite alright Isabella." How the fuck did he know my name?
"How do you know my name?"
"Well Isabella you are the new meat of the school, as in everyone knows who you are." He said with a laugh. Not funny buddy…
"Hmm that's nice, and please call me Bella."
"Okay, I am Jacob you can call me Jake."
"Hey you were in my English class weren't you?"
"Yes I am."
Not noticing someone had come up behind me until I felt a pair of familiar arms wrap around my waist.
"Jake."
"Cullen." He gave me a kiss on the head and rubbed my shoulders.
"I see you have met my girlfriend."
"Yes your girlfriend, figures." He said under his breath but not low enough for me not to hear it.
"And what is that supposed to mean Jake?"
"Oh you heard that well umm just that a beautiful girl comes to school and it is obvious the\at Cullen would have first dibz." He said with a smirk.
"Well to be honest I think I called dibz on him to be exact. But I need to be getting to my class; it was nice to meet you Jake. Bye."
We walked away and headed to are history class, but I still wonder what he meant by Cullen getting first dibz… oh well with the smirk on his face I knew that he must have just been saying shit to get me pissed off and I was not about to let it work.
"So how was your first class babe?"
"I don't know to be honest…"
"What did you skip on your first day?" He said looking a little worried.
"No I just couldn't pay attention…" I really did not want to tell him it was because I could not stop thinking about him, ego boost much!
"And why is that?" he said turning me around to look me in the eye. Shit I could not lie to him I was such a bad liar.
"I could not stop thinking about you." I said a little too quite avoiding his eyes.
"What was that?" he said with a sly smile.
"Icouldn'tstopthinkingaboutyou." I said in a huff.
"Wait what? I can't under stand you love."
"I-COULD-NOT-STOP-THINKING-ABOUT-YOU. Is that clearer Cullen?" I said turning away from the large smirk that crossed his face and walking into the class room.
He caught up with me and grabbed me around to waist causing me to squeak.
"To tell you the truth babe, I could not pay attention to my first class either."
That made me feel a little bit better but I was not going to show him that, so instead I just walked to the back of the class room and took my seat beside him.
The class flew by with me being able to stair at Edward the whole time. I had a large feeling that he was going to be the cause of me repeating the 12th grade.
The bell rand and I hardly remember anything the teacher talked about, something about the depression in the late 1800's.
As me and Edward made are way to the lunch room we were ambushed by a very hyper Emmett.
"Hey Brother, heya Belly!" He did not just call me 'Belly'.
"Hey Emmy-whemmy." HA take that big muscular guy!
"Ooh nice one Bellsy." He said in a roar of laughter, I was gonna have to think of a better one than that.
"So where are you two headed?"
"Umm lunch… where else would we be going dumb ass?"
"Oh I dunno maybe to your car to finish last night!" He started howling with laughter I thought he was going to crash to the floor at any moment. I felt my face start to heat up with the realization of what he had just said. Shit did he hear us last night? Who else heard us? SHIT!
"What are you talking about Emmett?" Edward tried to sound like he didn't know what his brother was talking about but I could see right threw him and I think Emmett could as well.
"Don't play stupid Edward, the whole house heard except for mom and dad thank god!" he said rolling his eyes and throwing his hand in the air and letting his hand dangle like a gay guy would when he answered a stupid question to a straight guy about shoes.
"Whatever Emmett me and Bella need to get to lunch, why don't you go find Rose and go to your own car for kicks!" An irritated Edward I could tell grabbed my hand and pulled me into the lunch room where the stairs and whispers started again…
"Do you think everyone heard? Oh god they did didn't they? OMG they are all going to think down on me." No wonder Alice was being so ogling this morning and that's why everyone had a huge grin on there face. I fell into there brothers trap like every other girl. Wait what am I saying was I calling my boyfriend that I knew for no longer then 38 hours a slut? Hmm maybe…
"No I think Emmett heard us because his bedroom in below yours and just told everyone except my mother and father. And Bella no one will think down on you, me and you are together it's not like it was a one night stand or anything." I sure hope he was right because seeing how Emmett acts I am sure that it is easy for him to over work things.
After a very long lunch and more horrible classes I was finally on my way home with Edward. Going over everything in my head that had happened today like my meeting a very nice girl named Angela and her boyfriend Ben in fourth period Calculus and a very distracting fifth period Biology with Edward, I found out that I have sixth period Socials with Jasper and seventh period foods with Rose, PE was far the worst I thank god that I had it with Edward because if he was not there I would caused a small riot with the volleyball.
I managed to make it home with no cuts and only minimal bruising. I said a quick good bye to Edward just wanting to be in my bed and sleep. Charlie was out again tonight and I was not about to tell Edward that because I knew that he would insist on me spending the night at his house.
So I just crawled into bed and begged sleep to take me. I knew that sleep would not come if I kept replaying last night's events in my mind so I thought about Renee and how she was planning on coming to visit me next month to see how I am settling. With that may last thoughts before I fell asleep were of what will come with tomorrow at that dreaded Forks High school.
I hope you guys liked it. I won't get to working on Chapter 5 until tomorrow some time. Alright good night!
XOXO Cassandra!
