When I got back to Forks, for the first time it occured to me that there was something more. The key wasn't just a symbol of his love. It was the key to his Rabbit. I couldn't believe Jacob would give ME his car. And, he was wrong, I did feel guilty how could I not....
That night I drove back to La Push and told Billy to keep the rabbit. Jacob's car had been his thing...I couldn't take that from Billy. And what would I do with a car? Crash it?
When I got back to the house, Edward was waiting on me. The look on his face suprised me. It looked almost like....lust...
This better not be an attempt to make me feel better, happier.
"Edward?" My voice revealed my suprise.
"Yes, love?" His velvet voice made my heart melt.
I went and sat cross-legged on the end of the bed where Edward was laying shirtless.
"What are you doing Edward?"
"Well, I thought, if I could give you what you wanted, I could see you happy again. Smiling."
He winked.
I smiled.
Jacob had been gone 4 months, and his only request was that Edward took care of me, that I was happy. So maybe this wasn't such a bad idea. I glanced away for a mere second and when I turned back around, Edward had dropped ALL his clothes on the floor. My eyes bulged.
"Edward....are...are you sure?" I asked. My voice cracked as I questioned my eyes. I hadn't thought he could be any more beautiful.
"Only if you are" he purred.
I couldn't believe this. All the trying to get him to comprimise and now it was being handed to me. Struggling to put Jacob's death in the back of my mind, I pulled off my sweatshirt and pants off, leaving only my bra and panties, and crawled toward him. Edwards eyes turned violet, a color I had never seen before in his eyes. A memory flooded me as I remembered seeing that color in Rosalie's eyes right before she and Emmett ran off. Only now did I put the pieces together-arousal.
"Bella...Bella...beautiful Bella..." Edward whispered.
I woke up with the most amazing feeling. I couldn't describe it. And, a plus side, I was alive. Rolling over I met Edward golden gaze. He smiled my favorite crooked smile
"Good Morning, love, how are you feeling?"
"Thank you" was all I could manage to mutter.
Laughing, he replied, "You're Welcome. I have more control now then I thought I did."
I scooted closer to the icy panes of his sculpted body. Edward wrapped the blanket tighter around me, only for me to pull it away. I needed to be closer to him. Right as I closed my eyes to breath in his amazing scent, his muscles tensed.
"Shit!"
"Edward, what's wrong?"
"Charlie's coming, and I'm laying naked in his eighteen year old daughters bed...? What do you think is wrong?"
There was humor behind his words.
I laughed and replyed "Toss me my sweatshirt, and get in my closet."
He started getting up as I heard Charlie aproaching.
"Hurry!" I murmurred under my breath.
He tossed me my sweatshirt, thankfully the one that is to large on me, and I quickly yanked it over my head, right before Charlie opened the door.
"Bella, What the hell is all the noise I've been hearing?!" Charlie said loudly.
Holy Crow, what kind of excuse is there for that kind of noise?
"Huh?"
I was trying to buy myself some time...
"Oh that?!" -I said, preparing the worst excuse ever-"I was just doing some jumping jacks. Ya' think I'll ever stop finding things to fall over?" I laughed.
"Come on now Bells, what kind of game do you think I'm playing? Where's Edward? I know he's here."
Cats out of the bag or in this case, Vampire's out of the bag.
"He's in the bathroom, dad. No big deal, he really was showing me some exercises. Sorry it's so early, his family is leaving to go camping soon, so he just came by to say bye, when I asked him what he knew about working out. If I stay this clumsy, which I will, I need to find some way to get some excercise. Relax." I said. I was obviously getting better at this lying stuff.
"Bella...You are an adult, and I could stand here and yell at you for doing God knows what, but I won't. Just be a little quiter, please. I was still asleep." Charlies voice drowned out as he stormed from the room.
I don't know if it was the amazing night I had or what had come over me, but I just started laughing. Edward came out of the closet and kissed me, which sent my heart racing and stopped the laughing.
"Thanks for the warning." I murmerred.
He didn't reply but just calmy held me next to him. What did I do to deserve him?
