Chapter 20
I closed the door and quickly changed into a pair of sweats and a blue fitted t-shirt. I could not help but think about what had almost happened. Could something have happened? I shook the thought away. Of course not. Edward was too much of a gentleman to have let it go much farther.
I got up and made my way to the door. When I arrived downstairs, Edward was sitting on the couch. The movie was paused at the beginning as he waited for me.
Not wanting to push the limits, I took a seat next to him. I did not lean into him as much, but sat close enough for our knees to touch.
Edward then pressed play.
There was a reason why I was never that into watching movies. Before the first thing was done being blown up in the movie, I felt my eyelids grow heavy for the second time today. My head automatically drooped to the side and found Edward's shoulder.
Within seconds of inhaling his scent and feeling his warmth, I was out of it.
********
I woke up feeling too comfortable for someone who fell asleep on the couch. I sat up and the memories of my perfect day with Edward came rushing back to me. I was in my room, on my own bed.
I had fallen asleep while watching the movie last night. It had only been around nine thirty at night. Edward must have carried me to bed before he left last night.
I glanced over at the clock and realized it was five-thirty in the morning on Sunday. No one else would probably be up.
I got out of bed and stretched before grabbing my bag of toiletries. I then went to the bathroom to shower.
Once I was showered and dressed in pair of jeans and a hoodie, I headed down the stairs. I made my way past the living room and into the kitchen. What I saw in the living room made me retrace my steps.
There laying fast asleep on the couch was Edward!
Did he sleep over last night?
Well duh Bella. Why else would he be here this early in the morning?
I walked into the kitchen and popped a couple of pop-tarts into the toaster. While they cooked, I poured myself a cup of apple juice, and went to double check that Edward Cullen really was here.
When my food was ready, I carried them into the living room. I grabbed my new- Edward's old, copy of Wuthering Heights off the coffee table. Then curled up in Charlie's chair to eat and read.
I could not help but glance over at the sleeping Edward. I watched the even rise and fall of his chest. He slept peaceful and perfectly still.
I was slightly disappointed that he did not talk in his sleep. Apparently I could not shut-up, but he stayed quiet. That's why it took me by surprise when I heard him speak.
"Why are you staring at me," he asked sleepily with a hint of a smile in his voice. His eyes were still closed.
"How do you know I am staring at you?"
"I can feel your gaze on me," he replied as he opened his eyes.
Edward sat up slowly and looked over at me. His hair was all over the place. I could not help but laugh.
He narrowed his eyes at me, "And what are you laughing at?"
"Nice hair," I managed to get out through my giggles.
He smiled at me and shook his head. Then reached up to flatten his hair with no success.
With confidence on my side,I put my book down on the table and stood up. I made my way over to the couch and climbed into Edward's lap.
I reached my arms up and around his neck. His wrapped around me. I gave him a quick kiss on the lips.
"Well good morning," he smiled.
"Good morning," I replied, cheerfully.
Edward laughed lightly, "Someone is in a good mood this morning."
I bit my lip at first and then looked up at him, "I have a reason to be."
He brought my lips back to his. This kiss was sweet.
"Ehem," I turned to see Charlie standing in the doorway clearing his throat.
I quickly moved off of his lap and sat down in the seat next to him.
"What's going on in here," Charlie questioned suspiciously.
"Da-d it's no-"
"Yeah Missy," Joe appeared next to him. "What were the two of you doing?"
"Joe I can handle this," Charlie glared at Joe and then turned back to us. "So, what have the two of you been doing this morning?"
"Oh knock it off," Renee's voice came from behind them. "If you were wondering, Bella woke up in her own bed this morning while Edward slept downstairs on the couch all night. They were not doing anything."
"How do you know if it was all night," Charlie grumbled.
"Come on and leave them alone," Renee pulled Charlie and Joe by the hand and dragged them toward the kitchen.
Charlie turned to throw a glare at Edward, "I do own a gun boy. No monkey business."
I looked back to Edward sitting next to me. He had a look of guilt and fear on his face.
I laughed and snuggled back into his lap. I don't know where the confidence was coming from. I rested my head on his chest.
"Not that I mind, but why did you sleep over here last night?"
He still looked a bit shocked, but he once he shook it off he responded.
"After you fell asleep last night your parents and Joe got home. I carried you up to your own bed. When I came back down Renee was in the kitchen drinking tea and asked if I wanted a cup. I accepted and got to talking to her."
"It must have been close to twelve-thirty in the morning, before we realized what time it was. Renee insisted she would call Esme and tell her that I was just going to stay here for the night. She said she could not have me out driving so late."
"Oh that's nice," I was playing with the buttons on the shirt he wore yesterday. "What did you and Renee talk about?"
"Not much," he muttered into my hair.
"Hmm.."
"Are you going to let it go that easily," he teased. His voice did hold intrigue as well.
I shrugged my shoulders. "I figured if it was something important you would tell me. If it was embarrassing stories of my past, which I wouldn't put it passed Renee to do that, then I am better off not knowing."
Edward's laughter shook both of us. "Bella you never cease to surprise me."
Thanksgiving Holiday
"Ugh. How many different types of gravies are there?"
Renee had decided to invite the Cullens, Hales, and Blacks, who I still haven't met yet, over for Thanksgiving dinner. Rosalie and Jasper accepted, but their parents were out of town so they would not be coming. They always seemed to be gone.
(See I was not sure if Native Americans celebrated Thanksgiving. So I googled it. I ended up reading that many do not, but a few do. So in my story they do)
Esme accepted the offer on the condition that she got to help. Renee had agreed graciously. Esme and the rest of the Cullens arrived at our house around ten this morning.
Carlisle helped bring bags of food into the kitchen. Esme followed, eager to help with dinner. Emmett was still tired and practically passed out on the floor of our living room. Joe had still been sleeping, so Charlie sent Alice, who was her usual hyper self, upstairs to wake him up.
As soon as the words had left his mouth, Alice shot up the steps. She took her job very seriously, because two minutes later we heard Joe yell something about being soaking wet. He sounded wide awake. Ten seconds later the sneaky pixie came sprinting back downstairs.
Charlie had just chuckled and gave her a high-five.
While this was going on I stood to the side and laughed. I then felt two strong arms pull me into a hug from behind. I turned around in his arms and stood on my tip-toes and gave him a soft kiss on the lips.
"Oh get a room," Joe grumbled. He had come down the stairs looking grumpy. His hair and shirt were all wet. "Where's shorty? I want to give her a nice hug."
Alice called from behind Charlie, who she was using as a shield. "You are not getting me wet Joseph Charles Swan."
"Oh yeah," he said taking a step closer.
"Hey I need someone to run to the store and pick up some things for me," Renee called from the kitchen doorway. She was holding up a list.
Taking the opportunity to escape, Alice jumped out and grabbed the paper from her hand.
"We'll do it," she called, taking my hand. I held onto Edward and pulled him along with us.
When we arrived, the parking lot was packed with last minute shoppers. We had decided to separate in the store to get everything faster. Edward went to pick up more potatoes. Alice went to get the dinner rolls. I was put in charge of gravy.
I have now been standing in this aisle for the past five minutes trying to find the one on Renee's list.
"Need any help," a voice asked from behind.
Standing behind me was a tall native American teenager. His skin was a deep-russet color. He had a solid, muscular build and had long black hair that was tied back in a ponytail. He was an overall attractive guy, but he held nothing on Edward.
"Erm- it's kind of embarrassing, but I don't know what gravy I am suppose to get," I showed him the list.
"It's okay. This can be pretty tricky."
The boy took the paper and then looked at the shelves. He reached up to take one off the shelf and handed it to me.
He then smiled at me, "Here you go..."
I smiled back timidly, "It's-"
"Bella! Come on we're checking out now. We saved a spot in line," Alice called from the end of the aisle.
I turned to the boy, "Thank you so much. I think I would have been standing here forever."
"No problem," he smiled.
I started to make my way to the checkouts.
"Bella," the boy called. I turned around to look at him. "My name is Jacob.."
I did not catch the last name over the buzz of people talking around me. I just threw him another smile and waved.
After we payed for the groceries, we headed back to the car to drive home.
"So Bella," Alice started casually from the back seat, "Who was that guy you were talking to in the store?"
At the word guy, I thought I noticed Edward's head tilt in my direction. Maybe I was mistaken.
A little confused I asked, "What guy?"
Alice leaned completely forward until her head was next to mine.
"The one you were with when I found you."
I glanced over at Edward to check his reaction. He kept his eyes on the road. His hands were both on the wheel, perhaps a little tighter than was normal. He seemed to be trying hard to show a lack of interest.
"Oh him? His name was Jacob I think," I said remembering the conversation. "He helped me pick out the gravy."
"Uh-huh," Alice nodded. "Well this Jacob looked like he wanted to help you with more than groceries."
"Wh-hat," I stuttered. I turned to look at Alice with complete disbelief.
"Do you blame him Bella," she asked. "Your hot!"
I felt myself blush a deep red and groaned, "Alice please just let it go."
I then looked over at him.
Edward's knuckles were now completely white, he was clutching the wheel so hard. His face was still trying to show no emotion.
I wish Alice would just drop the subject, but of course she didn't.
"I mean he was totally checking you out. When you turned and were walking away from him."
I heard a growl come from next to me.
Wait a growl? Did Edward just growl.. again? It was the same reaction to when he thought Mike "attacked" me.
What ever it was, silence followed it. I looked over to see Alice smirking with satisfaction. I do not even want to know what that is all about.
I looked at Edward to see his eyes were still on the road, but the mask had fallen. His jaw was tightened. This expression mirrored the one he had every time Mike was around me.
Before I had time to ask about it, we had pulled up in front of my house. I noticed Rosalie's car sitting out front.
Edward got out and grabbed the bags off of the backseat.
"I am just going to take these in," he told us. Well he told at Alice. He wouldn't look at me.
I instantly felt hurt and slightly panicked. Was he mad at me?
Once Edward was out of earshot I turned on Alice, "Why would you even bring that up?!"
"Relax Bella," she started, but I would not let her finish.
"Relax? Did you see his reaction?" I was freaking out now.
Instead of answering me she grabbed my hand and pulled me into the house. "Rose," she called into the living room. Then pulled me up the stairs to my room. Rose soon followed.
"What's up Alice," she asked, sitting down at my desk.
Alice led me over to the bed and sat me down.
"I'll tell you what's up," I jumped in. "Alice thinks it's a good idea to start talking about some guy who was apparently 'checking me out' with Edward right next to me. Now he won't even look at me."
Rose took what I said calmly and nodded her head. "How did he react when you first brought him up?"
"Didn't you just hear me? He won't even look at me!"
"Okay seriously Bella, you need to calm down," Alice said to me. Then smiled triumphantly at Rose, "Super jealous! He actually growled."
Rose face showed the same excitement that Alice's held. "Excellent. He has fallen hard."
The anger was now gone. I was just confused. "Jealous?"
"Well duh Bella. Another guy hitting on you caused him to become upset. Jealousy," Rose said like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
Edward jealous? Those were just not two words I thought I would ever put together.
"You guys he was just being protective of me," I tried to explain.
"Sure, but it was him protecting what is his. Your heart," Alice smirked.
I rolled my eyes at the cheesy line. I heard the doorbell ring downstairs at the same time. That must be the Blacks. I needed to get down there, but I had one last question.
"Why is he mad at me than? He would not even look at me."
Rose thought for a second, "I don't think he's mad at you, if he is then he's the biggest idiot. He is probably ashamed of his jealousy."
"Girls, come down here please. I would like you to meet the rest of our dinner guests," Charlie called up the stairs.
I sighed and got up from my bed and made my way downstairs.
When I reached the bottom step I saw an older native American man in a wheel chair.
"Hello I'm Billy Black," he said reaching out his hand to shake each of ours.
"Bella," I replied. Then turned and pointed to the other two, "And they are Rose and Alice."
"Nice to meet you lovely ladies," Billy smiled.
"You too," Alice chirped.
"Dad did I put my glove in the truck. Joe and Emmett wanted to play catch," a voice asked from the doorway to the living room.
"Don't be rude. Say hello to these ladies," Billy told who ever it was standing behind us.
I turned to see the boy from the store standing in front of me.
"This is my son-"
"Jacob," I asked, shocked. This could not be happening to me.
"Bella! Wow small world," Jacob smiled. He came up and shook my hand. Jacob seemed to hold on longer than was necessary. Maybe I am just being paranoid.
"Or town," Alice came to my rescue. She reached her hand out, "My name is Alice Cullen."
Jacob shook her hand and then Rose's, who dropped it almost immediately. He then looked back at me smiling.
"You two know each other," Billy questioned Jacob and me.
"Yep," Jacob replied with grin.
"We've met," I muttered.
"Hey Emmett, Renee needed your help," Edward called into the living room. He had just come out the kitchen door.
Immediately I went over to Edward and put my arm around his waist. I led him forward, "This is Edward Cullen."
Edward looked down at me confused. I then pointed to Billy and Jacob.
"I am Billy Black," Billy extended his hand to Edward.
He reached forward and shook it, "As Bella told you, I am Edward. Nice to meet you." He then turned to Jacob.
"That's his son, Jacob," Alice put emphasis on his name. It was as if to say the Jacob.
A look of realization came across Edward's face. I felt his arm snake around my waist before he reached his hand out to shake Jacob's.
If our close contact had an affect on Jacob, he didn't show it. He shook Edward's hand, while keeping a smile on his face.
"Come on guys," Emmett ran past us and out the door.
Jacob ran out after him. Joe and Jasper came next. Edward grabbed Joe's arm.
"Where are you guys going?"
"We are playing catch. I have an extra glove if you want to play," Joe explained before sprinting out the door.
Edward let go of me and took a step toward the door.
"You don't mind if I go, do you," he asked over his shoulder.
"N-no," I stuttered I was feeling hurt again. I know it was irrational.
"Aw Bella," Rose came over and hugged me around the middle. "He may seem so perfect, but he is still a guy."
"And the truth is they can be a bit stupid," Alice added.
I shook my head and put on my best smile, "I'm fine you guys."
Of course they did not believe me.
Why was Edward acting this way to me? I hadn't done anything wrong. Did I? It should not matter anyway. I mean we had been only "going out" I guess you can say, for a little over two months now. We never really came to terms on our exact relationship status. I always thought the word boyfriend, was too plain for Edward.
Maybe he did not want anything serious, which was understandable. I know that we would both be heading off to college. It's just that a part of me felt like there was more to our relationship than that. I guess it's best to get out before you become too far in.
I just was not sure how far my heart was already in.
"Bella," Rose's voice snapped me out of my thoughts. "Are you okay?"
"Yep," I smiled again and again Alice and her gave me looks to let me know they did not believe me.
I went into the living room, where Carlisle and Charlie were watching some football game. Charlie was on his knees completely engrossed in the game. Carlisle was on the edge of his seat. I rolled my eyes and picked up my latest book I was reading, Brave New World. (Reading this in English and it's just weird so far)
I then headed upstairs to my room. Alice went to help Esme and Renee in the kitchen. Rose, surprisingly, was sitting next to Carlisle on the couch yelling at the television. Something about not playing it safe, and just throw the ball. I was glad that neither of them followed me. I just wanted to be alone right now.
I lay across my bed with book in hand, preparing to read. I read maybe two pages, when my mind started to wander to where else? Edward.
Since the whole 'bed incident' Edward became more careful and set unspoken 'limits' to our physical relationship. I had always thought of him just being a gentlemen. I guess it should have also been taken as him not wanting to become too attached.
I sighed. No Edward, was not the type to string me along like that. I could not, would not believe that. Should I though?
Ugh. Now I can't even be in my own room without thinking about him. I got up and tried to find some place, where I would not be reminded of Edward.
I went to the one place that Edward did not really approve of me being in. My truck.
Ever since our relationship developed, Edward has insisted on driving me in his Volvo. He said my truck was a safety hazard. I think he did not like it because it did not go above fifty-five miles per hour.
I grabbed a hoodie before going downstairs and outside. No one had noticed. I climbed into the cab and closed the door, being sure to make as little noise as possible. I curled up on the seat with my book and iPod.
I then dove into the crazy world of test tube babies and how everybody was being separated into classes before they are even born. (I said the book was weird)
Maybe that was how things were meant to be, between me and Edward. We seemed to be born in two completely different classes. Edward being a Alpha, the highest. I felt more like a Gamma. In the middle.
Great. I am thinking about him again. I tried to make myself concentrate on the book again. It was difficult to do. I had read the same line five times before I decided to give up on the book. I put it down next to me and picked up my iPod. I turned it up almost all the way. "Last Kiss" by Pearl Jam was playing in my ears.
I sort of felt like a homeless person laying in my truck. This thought caused me to smile, easing some of my confusion. I closed my eyes and listened to the music.
"Bella! Bella are you out here?"
I felt myself stir awake. Had I really fallen asleep in here? I looked up at the window to see Edward looking in. His eyes held so much concern until he noticed me. Then they held relief.
I sat up gave him a reassuring smile. Then I opened the door to climb out. I was still a little foggy from my little nap that I started to stumble on my way out. Edward quickly grabbed onto my waist for support.
My heart started racing at the contact. I could not believe that my body still reacts this way to his touch. After our months of 'dating'.
I looked up, giving him a sheepish smile, "Thanks."
I then remembered what happened earlier and pulled away.
He nodded, a worried expression filling his face, "Your welcome. It is time to eat dinner."
"Okay," I took a step backwards. Right away I regretted it.
"Bella are you okay," he asked sounding dejected.
"Yep, fine," I said turning to walk up the porch steps. I had to fight the urge to wrap my arms around him and looking at his hurt face did not help. It made me feel guilty.
I opened the door and held it open for him without looking back. He followed me in. I went into the dining room. Everyone was already gathered around the table. They looked to be waiting for me.
"Bella where have you been," Renee stood up and walked over to give me a hug.
"Um I was outside in my truck," I mumbled back, embarrassed to be having this conversation around so many people.
"Well why in heavens would you be out there?"
I could feel Edward behind me.
"Bella?" Renee sounding impatient.
"I wanted to find a quiet place to read," I was playing with a piece of my hair.
"Nerd," Joe coughed. Emmett laughed. Esme shot them a glare.
"Why didn't you answer when we called?"
"I fell asleep," I now looked at my feet. Edward's eyes were staring at my back.
Renee sighed, "Bella what are we going to do with you."
"I don't know," I admitted.
I felt myself blush as I went to sit down. Of course Renee had Edward and I sitting next to each other.
"Bella," he whispered when we sat down.
"Later," I mumbled, staring at my plate.
"Later," he agreed.
Dinner was rather awkward. Especially when I asked Jacob to pass me the mashed potatoes for seconds. I wasn't hungry, but I was trying to avoid having to talk to Edward. Jacob got a huge grin on his face, like I asked him to kiss me, when I asked. It was worse when I tried to keep my head down to avoid making eye contact and spilled my ice tea.
I jumped back, but not before my jeans and hoodie became soaked with tea. Emmett started laughing. I blushed, thinking he was laughing at me until he pointed in Edward's direction.
Edward was standing away from the table. He too was all wet. Renee had went to get towels to clean up the mess.
When she came back, she turned to me, "Bella go change and Joe take Edward upstairs and lend him some dry clothes."
I walked up the steps as quick as I could without falling. Joe and Edward were at the bottom when I reached the top. Once I was clear of the steps I shot into my room and closed the door.
I went over to my dresser and pulled out another pair of jeans and a fitted dark blue t-shirt. After changing I sat on my bed and debated on how long I could sit up here until someone noticed I had not come back yet. I eventually got up and headed towards the door.
What waited for me on the other side, should not have surprised me. There stood Edward in a pair of Joe's jeans and t-shirt.
"Hey," I sighed. "I guess it's later."
He nodded his head, "If you are ready for it to be?"
"Yeah."
Edward offered me his hand and I took it automatically. When our skin touched I almost forgot everything that happened.
I allowed him to lead me down the stairs and passed everybody sitting in the living room. The only ones who noticed us were Esme and Renee. They smiled at us and quickly looked away before people realized what they were looking at.
Edward led me through the kitchen and out onto the back porch. We sat down on the steps like we had that night back in September. He still hadn't let go of my hand.
"Bella," he began, "I just wanted to say first that I am sorry."
He was apologizing. "Edward it's okay. No need to apologize. I get it completely," I said trying to loosen my hand from his. He only held on tighter.
"No let me explain why I acted the way I did."
"You don't have to," I turned my head away since he would not let me go. I did not want to sit here and listen to this.
"Please, for me, will you listen to what I have to say," his voice almost pleading.
I sighed, "Okay."
Edward hesitated and then began again, "Bella I know it was terrible of me to become so cold to you after finding out about Jacob. You had not done anything wrong at all. Even if you are interested in him, you have every right to if it's what you wanted."
"Never-"
"Let me finish. It's just that for the first time I felt this raging jealousy. I mean that's no excuse, but I just could not bare having you see me that way. With Mike I know, that you know he's a jerk and that you are not interested, but Jacob, I did not know him. I became a bit protective, but mostly jealous.
"I knew it was silly and immature how I acted, but I just needed a minute to clear my head, before I was man enough to face you again. It only got worse when Alice introduced Jacob earlier. I knew right away it was him when I saw how nervous he made you. I felt the need to show that you were mine when I tightened my grip on your waist."
He took a breath and then continued.
"Instantly I felt ashamed to be thinking of you as a possession. I felt disgusted with myself for a second time today. Again I could not have you see me that way.
"Later when it was time for dinner and no one could find you, I became so worried. And when I found you in the truck, you seemed so hesitant with me. It killed me to see the hurt in your eyes. Almost a distrust."
Edward became quiet for a moment. He stared out into our backyard. I had the mixed feeling of being on the verge of tears and wanting to do back flips. Part of me was happy to know that he still wanted me. The other part could not believe how much he seemed to care. I also felt a little dumb to doubt him.
"I will do anything to gain that trust back Bella," he whispered from next to me. "Please give me a chance to do so. I will give you all the time you need, just don't lock me out again."
At the word lock my hand shot up to my necklace. I touched the charms that were resting on my chest. Was I like a lock. I know I tend to keep my distance from people, but did I really make it so difficult to reach me. I just thought no one cared enough to try.
But Edward did. He had been trying to reach me from day one. I never felt like I deserved it. He brought me so much happiness when I was with him. Even when I did not feel like I deserved to be happy. Yet he did not stop. It was as if he was the key to my happiness.
Then a thought hit me. I pulled off one of the charms and held it in my hand.
"Bella," Edward breathed from next to me. He sounded nervous. I realized that I still hadn't said anything.
I turned to face him, a sheepish grin on my face.
"I am so sorr-"
"I love you," I blurted out before he could finish.
A look of shock crossed his face. I think that was the last thing he predicted me to say. From the look on his face, he expected me to shout at him or leave him.
"I love you," I repeated in a whisper, when he still had not said anything. I was looking down at our hands still entwined.
The next thing I felt were his lips crashing onto my own. He released my hand to wrap both of them around my waist and pulled me into his lap. My arms found their way around his neck.
Edward pulled away slightly and rested his head against my own.
"I love you," he breathed heavily.
I felt my heart doing those back flips in my chest. There was the happiness that he always managed to bring me.
Neither of us said anything. We just sat there in the comfort of each others arms. I rested my head on his chest. The sound of his heart beat in my ear. He leaned back and rested against the steps above.
Edward then started humming that lullaby again. I looked up at him and he smiled down at me.
"That is a lovely song," I stated.
The grin on his face grew bigger, "I am glad you like it. I will have to play it for you sometime."
Before I could ask what he meant by that Alice called out to us, "I hate to break up this moment, but we're getting ready to leave Edward."
Once Alice had closed the door, Edward sighed. He helped me to my feet.
"I will see you tomorrow," he said looking down at me.
I bit my lip, a little sad that he had to leave.
"Tomorrow," I confirmed.
Edward then leaned down to give me a kiss. I pulled away lightly.
Before he could get upset I smiled at him.
"Can I see your car keys please."
He pulled them out and handed them to me. His expression was confused.
I attached the charm from my necklace onto the ring that housed his keys. I handed them back to him.
Edward found the latest item on his keys.
"A key charm?"
I pulled my necklace out so he could see the lock charm that was left on it. His expression then broke into one of understanding.
"Thanks," I whispered to him before stretching up to meet his lips.
Edward's arms wrapped around my waist and picked me up off the ground. He pulled me up so he would not have to bend and I would not have to stretch.
"Anytime," he mumbled into my hair as he set me down.
We walked back inside and to the front entrance where goodbyes were being exchanged. I gave each of the other Cullens hugs as well as the Hales. I shook Billy and Jacob's hands. I let go of Jacob's almost immediately.
I walked back over to Edward and gave him a hug.
"I will see you tomorrow, love," he spoke into my ear.
'Love'
I grinned at the newly aquired nickname.
