I woke up to the feeling of soft lips gently kissing my own and I smiled against them. When my eyes opened I found Edward smiling back at me with his adorable bed head poking out all over.
"Morning." I say in a raspy sleepy voice.
"Morning love." He replies back before kissing me once more.
I break the kiss before it escalates and try to look around him at my table clock. He moves in front of me though so I can't see it and I giggle in response.
"Will you stop that. What time is it?" I playfully swat him while trying to squirm in his arms to see the clock. He has a teasing grin on his face.
"Doesn't matter." He answers before moving his head down to kiss along my neck. I moan for a second but the logical part of my brain is yelling at me to stop the funny business because we both have school to go to.
"Yes it does. We have school today." I shift again and fell him against me. All of him. I freeze for a second and look at his face, seeing a blush on his cheeks but the look of passion in his eyes.
Suddenly he flips us over so I am pinned down. He is situated right between my legs but he just stares down at me silently. I am starting to get worked up myself but I know this isn't the time to start this now, since we both still have to shower before school.
I'm breathing in labored breaths again as he holds my gaze but I shake myself out of the lust filled daze.
"We can't." I whisper. I bite my lip and his eyes darted down to my mouth, looking as if he is debating something. The clock ticks in the background and I shift to get up but the movement causing him to groan.
"You can't do stuff like that to me then. That's not playing fair." He says in frustration into my ear. His voice sounds sexy and seductive and I know I have to get up fast before I start backtracking my responsible choices thus far. I push his shoulders up and jump out of bed.
"It wasn't intentional I swear. But I think Charlie is still home and I refuse to do that with him here. Also we both have school in a half an hour and I still need to shower."
Edward seems to be thinking about something again but just nods and moves to stand up. He walks over to me and gives me a chaste kiss on the lips before walking to the window. I think maybe he is being sour but I don't have time to comtemplate more about it before Charlie calls from the bottom of the stairs.
"Bells I'm heading off to work. Time to get up."
I run to the top of the stairs so Charlie doesn't make his way up.
"I'm up. Going to take a quick shower before school."
"Alright see you after work." Charlie replies before heading out the front door. I quickly undress in the bathroom and turn the water on, wincing a little when I step into the burning hot stream.
I close my eyes and let the water soak my hair and ease my muscles out. With my eyes still closed as the water runs over my face, I reach out for my shampoo bottle in its usual place in the corner. My hand meets the bottle at a closer distance than normal and I open my eyes to see Edward handing the bottle to me with a crooked grin on his face. His sudden appearance frightens me non the less and I scream bloody murder.
Frantically I suddenly became very modest and shy realizing that I am naked in front of him and try to cover myself up with my hands.
"What the hell are you doing!" I yell in annoyance.
He simply looks at me smiling with amusement before slowly stepping towards me in the small shower. At first I think he is going to touch me and my heart speeds up but instead he steps around me and into the hot falling water.
"Taking a shower." He replies as he closes his eyes and runs his hands through his wet hair. I blanch at his still amused face but then become distracted by finally taking into account a fully naked Edward in front of me.
The water droplets fall down his body and touched every muscle and line. This was an even better sight than I had always imagined it to be. I am gaping at his perfect body before me when he opens an eye at me and quirks an eyebrow at my obvious staring. I shake away that little spell he always casts on my rational mind and remember that I'm suppose to be annoyed.
"You do have a shower at home you know and I told you that we can't-" Waving a hand between out naked bodies.- "do that this morning." I say, folding my arms in front of me.
At doing that his eyes dart down to my chest and stay locked there. He has that hungry look again but he gulps and looks back up at my eyes again. I realize that having my arms folded like this is not giving me the desired effect of a tough persona, but is causing him to become distracted, so I quickly drop my arms to my sides.
"I know Bella, I just thought I could shower here with you. You know, save some water." I almost laugh at hearing him use the words that I once thought to say when I wanted to see him naked. Now look how far I've come. I shake my head but cast my eyes down his stomach to those wonderful v-lines on his hip bones and look where they lead down too.
I looked up suddenly after seeing that he certainly doesn't have just a shower in mind if that is how he is reacting to our current situation. He may say that this is just an innocent shower but his body is saying another thing entirely and he certainly looks ready for more than a good cleaning.
"Just a shower huh?" I say, now being the one to quirk an eye brow. He looks at me and then looks down, eyes widening now when he sees what I'm talking about . A weak laugh escapes his lips and then he turns around so he isn't facing me anymore. That really isn't any better for me either because he is perfect front and back. I move next to him and feel him tense.
"I need to shower too." I say as I step under the water. I look for the shampoo bottle and he has it in his hands again.
"May I?" He asks. I don't see a reason not to let him wash my hair, even though I don't know why he would want to, but I nod in consent.
He puts some shampoo in my hair and gently scrubs my scalp with it. Soon after he puts in my conditioner, which is a necessity for my long hair. It does feel so much better having someone else do it than myself. I close my eyes and sigh in relaxation.
When I open my eyes after rinsing out the suds, I see him looking down at me with love in his eyes. I smile affectionately at him and stand on my tiptoes to give him a small thank-you kiss before moving him under the water so I can wash his hair.
I laugh at the height difference knowing that it will be hard for me to reach up to wash his hair.
"Can you bend a little for me?"
He smiles and pokes me in the stomach playfully before complying to my wishes. He closes his eyes just like I did as I massage his scalp and run my fingers through his wet hair, playfully styling it into a little Mohawk on the top of his head. Unsurprisingly he looks so good with it and I feel my body unconsciously leaning into his, but still not touching. When I make sure the shampoo is all out I soap up my hands and run them over his broad shoulders before moving them down his chest. He grins but still keeps his eyes closed.
I know it's wrong of me to do what I am going to do next but the compulsion to touch him is just too much, especially with him standing like this before me. I bite my bottom lip and slowly dragged my hands down the center of his stomach muscles until I reach...down there… and stroke him quickly. His eyes shoot open and bore into mine. I quickly retract my hand from him and take a step back.
"Sorry." I say quickly, but his hands reach out and grab my hips, bringing my body tight against his before whispering huskily in my ear.
"Now that was definitely intentional." Then before I know what hits me, he crashes his lips to mine and kisses me with such power that I feel like I melt inside. Everything feels like it blurs away as our lips move together. His one hand goes to the small of my back to pull me in as his other snakes its way to the back of my neck to kiss me harder.
Soon I feel his hand leave my neck and start to travel down my body. I already feel all of him pressed up against me and I quiver at his touch. Just as his fingers start to go to the inside of my thigh my mind has a second of clarity and I push him back.
"We have to stop." I gasp, pulling away from the kiss and seeing his lust filled face stare back at me.
"No." He replies quickly before pulling me back and sucking on my neck feverously.
I moan loudly at the feel of his lips there but the sound of my voice snaps me out of my stupor once more and I snake my way out of his arms quickly before pulling the shower curtain back and stepping out.
"I mean it. We both are going to be late to school." Edward grunts in frustration and turns the shower off before stepping out and picking up a towel to wrap around my shivering body.
He sighs in defeat. "Alright tease. Let's go."
I change quickly and just have enough time to brush my hair before I'm out the door with Edward. The car ride over Edward holds my hand and we say little, just content with each others company. When we arrive the five minute warning bell rings and people are scattering away quickly to their homerooms. Edward follows me to my locker, even though he will be late to his first class, and stands by me as I pull out my books. There isn't anyone in the hallway now since there is less then a minute to the final bell.
Once I close my locker I look over at him leaning on his side watching me. He tucks a piece of hair behind my ear and gives me a soft kiss.
"You know I love you right?" His speaks softy.
I smile and reach up to get another kiss. "Yes, and I love you too."
He kisses my forehead and starts to walk off as the final bell rings.
"I'll see you before lunch!" I call out as his waves and smiles at me before I dart into class.
Nobody seems to know that Edward and I are a couple yet it in any of my classes. I don't get questioned by anyone about it, not even by some of the girls that I am friends with. It is just a normal day at school and I like it that way. Maybe it isn't that big of a deal to people or not big enough to notice. It wasn't like Edward and I weren't always seen together anyway. Maybe some people already thought we were going out. I guess I didn't feel different… just happier…a lot happier, like everything fell into place.
I am antsy all day to see Edward again but I always get the feeling that he is closer than I assume. My suspicions are confirmed when I see the back of a messy head of bronze hair turn a corner quickly as I enter into my third period class. The thought of him checking up on me is sweet but I know he has class in another building that period and seeing me is totally out of the way for him. I make a mental note to tell him that it isn't necessary later on.
Finally when I make it to my locker before lunch, I can't help my huge smile from forming when I see him waiting for me like always, matching my ecstatic grin. I jump into his arms when I near him, so enthused to be with him again. I really did miss him so much even for those few short hours. He sets me down and kisses me quickly on the lips.
"Miss me?" He laughs.
"Of course." I reply as I grab my books. When I turn around to look at my surroundings, a few people's eyes meet my own but they look down quickly or whisper to another. I shrugged it off and close my locker.
Edward quickly takes my books away to carry and we begin to walk to the cafeteria. My hand dangles at my side and I feel his fingers lace through mine and grasp it. I smile up at him as we walk into the cafeteria hand in hand.
We are both looking at each other when we enter, completely oblivious to the other people around us. I let my eyes drift to the room before us and notice that there are quite a few eyes on us. Most of the eyes belong to girls but there are a few boys as well. I groan mentally now, knowing that the general school population has started to catch on.
Edward was always seen as that untouchable boy that everyone saw but never really knew anything about. When he went out a few times with Victoria Chambers it had caused an uproar. Even though I tried to block out any talk dealing with them during that time period, I would constantly hear tidbits of things people would say about it. Mostly girls from the younger grades saying that Victoria was a bitch and didn't deserve him, which made me smile, but there was also some girls in our grade discussing what Victoria had told them about her interactions with him. And man, that girl had picked apart every detail to the second she spent with him, bragging about her encounter.
I, on the other hand, was never really under the watchful eye of the student body. I didn't go to parties, hook up with anyone, or even discuss to girl friends who I liked. People knew as much about me as they did about Edward, which was pretty much nothing. I did however earn a bleep on the Forks high school radar when James told everyone that I had slept with him.
Even though I wasn't big news, James was. And a girl like me, who had stayed out of the high school circuit all three years of high school, made for quite a juicy bit of news when it appeared that I had suddenly changed my ways. So I knew how they saw us. Edward was guy everyone wanted to know about and he was now, for some strange reason, holding hands with the girl who everyone thought had drunk sex with James a couple of weeks ago. That's high school for you.
We both walk hand in hand, with Edward acting indifferent to everyone watching, a content smile playing on his lips. Alice is grinning hugely at me and Emmett is already at the table too.
"Well look at you too! Causing quite the stir in good old forks high." Alice quips.
"Please, I've always been around Edward, not much has changed." I huff as I sit down with Edward in tow.
"Yeah except for the fact that you slept together." Alice wittingly remarks.
"That's personal. It's nobody's business anyway." Edward squeezes my hand and I offer him a small smile.
He stands up to get lunch with Emmett while I stay with Alice. She has her lips pressed tightly together looking like she is holding something in.
"Alright already spit it out." I sigh frustratingly.
"Alright which one do you want to hear first?" She asks.
"What do you mean?" I question wearily.
"Well there's the one rumor that your pregnant with Edward's baby." I nearly choked on my sandwich at her words.
"Do I look pregnant or something?" I say while coughing the sandwich piece that is now stuck in my throat.
"No of course not. I suspect Lauren started that one in spite of you. According to that story Edward has been banging you for a while on the side whenever he was bored and you accidentally got pregnant. So he felt bad and started dating you. You know, since the baby is coming and all." Alice rambles like it's of little importance.
"Wow, how sweet of her." I say shaking my head. "Is that the worse one?"
She shakes her head. "No but that's definitely the craziest one. No one seems to be buying it. The worst would have to be how Edward and you are using each other."
"How so?" I ask while picking apart my sandwich. Why did I want to know this? Was this some sick kind of thing that I was doing to myself now that I had everything I ever wanted. Did I actually want to hear these things just so I could tell myself that maybe these people are right, that Edward and I are too good to be true?
"Stupid stuff. There's a few. Like you are using Edward to get back at James, and Edward is using you to get back at Victoria." She waved her hand dismissively and opened up a yogurt. I rolled my eyes knowing that I certainly wasn't getting back at James. Could Edward…? No. I shook my head, not allowing myself to think awful things like that about him. I knew he loved me like I loved him, and that was real.
I stretch my neck up to see where Edward was, really wanting him close again and nearly jumped out of my seat when Alice startles me.
"Oh my God Bella. Is that what I think it is on your neck?" Alice gasps in shock but amusement laced in.
I quickly lower myself in my chair and put my hands over my neck. "What? What is it?"
Alice quickly takes a compact out of her purse and hands it to me. Sure enough as I open the mirror I see a hickey near the base of my neck.
"When did he-" I voice my thoughts out loud.
Alice is laughing hysterically at my stunned face and I am blushing furiously. The images from this mornings shower come into play and I suspect that that was when he must have given me my little love bite.
Just then Edward slides into the chair next to me and puts his arm around my waist.
"What's Alice laughing about?" He questions with a smile on his lips. I shoot him a glare and Alice seems to laugh harder.
He looks at me confusingly. "What?"
"I think you know what!" He still looks puzzled so I yanked my shirt down to show him the hickey on my neck.
Realization suddenly fills his face but he is silent, knowing he is guilty and at a loss for words at the moment.
"Wow Edward, letting everyone know what is yours I see." Emmett chuckles as he bits into a burger. Edward fixes him a glare and then looks back innocently at me with his adorable face that he knows I can't stay angry at. Damnit.
"I'm sorry baby. I didn't mean to do that, and I didn't know it would make you angry either. I promise not to do that again if it upsets you." He says in a soft voice while rubbing small circles on my back soothingly. Then he leans in and kisses the exact spot where the hickey is as if to make it disappear.
I know damn well that he most certainly meant to give me that love mark but he is looking down at me so lovingly and speaking so softly that I know he won this round again.
"Oh all right." I say with a sigh.
"Am I forgiven?" He asks, stroking the back of my hair and looking at me hopefully.
"Yes, now come here and give me a kiss." I reply, grabbing his shirt in a fist and pulling his head down to meet me. I can feel his smile against my lips as I give him a big smooch and hear Emmett mutter-"Get a room".
I pull away and go back to my lunch, leaving him a little dazed by the big kiss I just gave him. Alice just laughs and shakes her head at us as Edward's green eyes sparkle and his crooked grin forms back on his face.
The rest of the day is pretty uneventful. Mostly the whole school now knew about Edward and I after our little lunch display but not many people commented. I earned a few new looks and whispers, but for the most part everything is good. A few people that I am friendly with in some of my classes even say that they were happy for us. So I am in good spirits throughout the rest of the day and can't seem to wipe the smile off my face.
So here I am, now giddy and drunk off of love, heading into last period gym class. I can't wait to see him again and am even more excited to go home and spend more time with him. I quickly change into gym clothes and walk out into the auditorium, scanning the crowd of students standing around waiting for the teacher to come out.
I can not find that familiar bronze head of hair though, wondering where on earth he could be. But then those familiar warm arms wrap around my waist and his delicious scent surrounds me. I feel his chin rest on my shoulder, his hot breath on my neck.
"Missed you." He whispers.
I turn around in his arms and wrap mine around his neck, playing with the hair on the back of his head.
"Missed you too." I say raising up on my toes to give him a quick peck. I open my eyes and see Edward looking behind me, but before I can turn to look his hand goes up in my hair and presses me in to him to kiss me deeply.
The kiss is powerful and hungry, very different from the kisses we have been giving each other throughout school the day. It is the type of kiss that makes my knees go weak, but also the type that we share in private, not in the middle of a school gym with dozens of onlookers.
His tongue fights to go in my mouth and he feels dominate over me, especially when I feel his other hand on my lower back slide down to cup my butt. My eyebrows shoot up and I move my arms to his chest to push him away so I can catch my breath and break the kiss before it gets any friskier.
"Well isn't this cute." I hear a familiar and sarcastic voice speak from behind me.
Edward's body tenses in my arms and I look up at his face to see him looking behind me again, fierce and alert. I have a pretty good idea who it is though without even looking and have my suspicions confirmed when I see James's face before me.
So that explains the dominate kiss and who Edward looked at over my shoulder right before he initiated it. He was marking his territory right in front of his competition. Not that James was competition but I'm sure Edward still sees him as a threat.
I'm angry and a little hurt by this alpha male display that he blatantly used me in but I know now is not the time to start a fight with Edward while James is right there watching. James is standing with his arms folded over his chest and a cocky smirk on his face, meaning only one thing….trouble.
I'll address the issue with Edward later for sure but right now the only thing that seems like the best option is to get Edward out of there. People around us are starting to take notice. James has a few of his friends standing behind him smirking as if they know something is going to happen.
"How you doing Bella? Haven't talk to you…well since our night together if I recall correctly." He says with a devious grin before adding- "But then again, we didn't do much talking that night either." The boys behind James chuckle at his comment but I don't reply. I look up to see Edward's jaw muscles clenching and his eyes blazing with fury. His hands are held tightly in fists at his side. I move to his left and brace his tight arm muscle, afraid of what will happen next and really wanting to get Edward out of there.
"Edward ignore him, he's only trying to start something." I say quietly to Edward only and pull his arm back gently so I can get him away from this situation before it escalates. James seems like he's not quite ready to stop yet however.
"Looks like Eddie boy is enjoying my sloppy seconds." James continues, mocking the name my Dad calls Edward. I know Edward hates to be called that but he allows it only of my father. That's when I feel Edward take a step forward, his neck muscles straining as if he is holding himself back. I hold on to his arm for dear life though, not willing to let him take another step closer, not knowing what he will do.
"Oh I think I'm getting him riled up boys." James laughs to his friends as they snicker behind him.
I now step in front of him and put my hands of his chest, trying to capture his eyes with mine and get him to calm down. Because I know, looking at his face that he is at the tipping point of his anger.
"Sweets look at me." I say trying to move his chin down with my hand so I can meet his eyes. Reluctantly he lowers his death glare at James and his eyes seem to soften a bit when he sees me.
"Please, don't listen to him. Turn away. This is what he wants. Don't give him what he wants." I say rubbing my fingers over his tense jaw line to try and relax him.
His tense muscles seem to slowly ease up as he maintains eye contact with me. I slide my hand down to open up his fist and weave my fingers in his. Slowly I step around him and pull him gently back so that he turns away from James and walks the opposite direction with me. Thankfully he starts to turn around and slowly moves away with me.
"Wow someone is whipped." James continues, but I'm holding Edward's hand and making sure he doesn't falter. He seems to be ignoring James and continues to move. I know if we just get far enough we can be in the clear.
"Hey Bella, call me if you want another go. I heard from Victoria that your boy there has trouble following through. I never have that problem if you can remember." At James's words I feel a tug on my arm and I turn to see that Edward has stopped moving. He pulls his hand from mine before I can tighten my grip and balls both hands into fists again. As I turn fully to face him, he clenches his eyes shut so they won't meet mine and his body looks like it is shaking with anger. He is giving it all he has to restrain himself this one last time. But before I can offer any words to calm him, James adds in one last thing.
"And Edward... Word of advice. Wear a condom with that one, she seems like she's easy, from what I could tell."
I knew those words were the last thing needed to send Edward over his brink.
I gasped at them myself and at the realization that there was no way I could stop Edward now.
As I reach out to grab his arms to retrain him, Edward had already turned and charged at James with such force that when they collided their bodies both shot backward in a loud bang across the gym floor. James's head hits the floor hard but he throws a fist up fast and hit Edward in the jaw. Edward punches him back hard in the face and I'm sure everyone around them hears the crunch of James nose when it meets Edward's fist. James gets one more good punch into Edward's face though, making me step forward quickly, hating to watch him get hurt. But as I approach, Edward begins pounding James's face over and over again with his fist. It is a repeated cycle of Edward lifting James' head up by the collar before smashing his head back down with his fist.
I am crying in worry for him and this completely wild Edward before me, in this animal like rage. I had never seen Edward like this before and it was frightening. James was now squirming to get away instead of trying to fight back, his face was bloody all over. "Stop it Edward!" I scream. "That's enough!" But he seems not to hear me. Why isn't he stopping!
I move to pull his shirt back but Emmett swoops in and lifts Edward off of James to end the fight. Edward thrashes and kicks in a blind rage to try and get towards James again but Emmett has locked on to him tight and his dragging him backwards. James is still lying on his back but turns over and spits out blood and a tooth onto the floor.
"What the hell happened out here?" The gym teacher yells as he runs out to assess the situation. He looks at James on the floor and Edward still in his fury before sending a girl to get the nurse and telling Emmett to get Edward out of there.
"Bring him to the principle's office now Emmett!" He roars.
Emmett tugs Edward along and I only get the chance to see Edward's bloody fist and lip, before he turns away to leave. His eyes were still dark in rage from the fight that had just passed. I hurry to follow him, but the teacher notices and stops me.
"You stay right where you are young lady or I fail you!"
I glared in anger at him but listen, wiping my tear stained cheeks.
This one day of gym class felt like it is taking a century to end and I am getting anxious and fidgety to know what has happened to my boyfriend. I don't talk to anyone but many people are still excited over the fight and looking at me as they whispered. It was obvious that James was the one that had sustained the most injuries but I was still worried if Edward was hurt from the hits he took. God why did he have to even fight like that! Now there is a chance at him getting suspended, if not expelled considering the state of James face.
I tear up again but anger washes over me thinking about Edward for letting James antagonize him. He should have just walked away. Just then I see Emmett walking into the gym doors with a solemn look on his face. I run over quickly to him, needing to know every detail about Edward.
"Emmett where is he? Is he hurt?" I saw clutching his arm, begging him to tell me anything.
Emmett sighs. "He just left school with Carlisle, but he's not too bad. He has a cut lip and a black eye but besides that he is good."
I let out the air I was holding in but need to know more. "How bad did he get in trouble?" I ask, my lip quivering, praying that he didn't say that Edward was expelled.
"I'm not really sure Bells, they wouldn't let me sit in for that part. I'm sure Carlisle talked them into going easy on him though, don't worry." I nod my head but the tears fall freely.
"Aww don't cry Bells, it will be ok." Emmett says, scooping me up into a hug to relax me.
"Can you drive me home Emmett? Edward was the one who drove me to school." I sniffe.
"Yes of course." Emmett replies, wiping a tear from my cheek.
After school Alice ran up to us after hearing the news and wanted to know exactly what happened. Emmett filled her in on the details while I sat in the front seat, not wanting to talk to anyone.
"I've never seen him like that, or fight like that for that matter." Emmett replied shaking his head in disbelief.
"What did James say to him to get him going like that?" Alice asks me since Emmett didn't know that part of the story.
"Just stupid stuff. God why didn't he just walk away…" I speak more to myself then to Alice.
I was angry at him. Angry for using that kiss to prove a point. Angry for letting James get to him like that. And angry for letting himself get into such a wild frenzy and getting in trouble.
When we pulled up to the house I shoot out fast, wanting to put my stuff away inside before heading over to the Cullens. I unlock my door and get inside quickly and venture inside. As I cross the living I am startled when two arms grab me and push me up against the wall. Edward's lips attack my own in a frenzy as he presses his body into me as if he has a hungry urge to consume me. I am so caught off guard and overwhelmed by this sudden surge of lustful aggression that I forget about everything that had transpired this afternoon. Then I remember.
Forcefully I push him back off of me to look at him.
"What on earth has gotten into you?" I ask in deep breaths. His eyes are dark with lust and he moves forward to kiss me again but I side step him and get out of his reach.
When I look at his face I see his puff bruised eye and cut lip, a lip that shouldn't have kissed so forcefully.
"Oh my God Edward are you alright?" I ask stepping toward him in worry and reaching up to inspect his face for anymore signs of damage.
He winces as I touch his eye but pulls my hips against his, rubbing himself against me. "I'm fine, now kiss me." He says in a raspy voice.
My eye brows furrow as I try to make out the situation. He wants to have sex after all that happened today? That's what is on his mind right now?
Angrily I push away from him again.
"No." I say firmly.
"Why not?" He huffs in annoyance.
"After everything that's happened…that's what is on your mind? Why?"
He chuckles dryly. "You're my girlfriend, I don't need a reason."
"Well I do and I want to talk about what happened."
"I don't want to talk about it." He says in anger before moving to go sit on the couch and not face me.
"What was that about Edward?" I ask as I follow him, not allowing him to turn away.
"He disrespected you. I'll never let anyone do that. And the sick way he pretends that he has actually touched you, kissed you, had sex with you…I wanted to kill him for that." He spits out.
"You shouldn't have let him get to you like that. I just ignore him. I know he hasn't been with me, you do to."
"That doesn't change the fact that he disrespected you and treated you like you were some whore." He huffs, his lip snarling at the word.
"Now wait a minute, that reminds me. What the hell was with that kiss in gym? You looked at him right before you kissed me like that."
Edward snorts. "Yeah well he should know what's mine and to back the fuck off."
I boil in anger. "That's probably what got him started Edward! You antagonized him!"
Edward stands up to look down at me. "Oh what so now you're taking his side over your own boyfriend?"
I stare up at him. "No of course not! But the way you were acting I was half expecting you to pee on my leg at any moment and mark your territory!"
Edward crosses his arms defiantly. "I'm not apologizing for that. People need to know to back off."
"You made me feel like a whore Edward. Those kinds of kisses are for just us and you…you shared it with everyone. You weren't kissing me to kiss me, you were kissing me for them. " I say as my eyes get teary. Edwards angry face quickly drops and he suddenly looks pained.
"Bella… I didn't mean for you to feel like that… I never want to make you feel that way. You're my angel. I'm so sorry if you felt that way at all."
I wipe a lone tear and curse mentally at myself for getting so emotional over stuff like this.
He continues on, taking my hands in his and kneeling down so he is at eye level with me. "Please… you have to know that I never want to hurt you..."
I nod and look into his anguished green eyes. "I was so scared for you Edward. I didn't want to see you get hurt…I never want to see you get hurt."
With his left hand, he cups my cheek and moves in closer. "I'm sorry Bella. I love you so much." He says so earnestly and sincerely. The only thing I want to do now is kiss him and forget about it, I want to forget about everything bad that happened.
Slowly I move my head in and kiss the cut on his lip gently. His body stays perfectly still and I pull back to look at his face to see that his eyes are closed. When he senses my hesitation he moves forward and meets my lips once more in vigor. I lean back on the couch and part my legs while his body moves forward against me.
Both of his hands go down to my waist and pull me towards him so that my hips meet his at the edge of the couch. Our hands are frantic to touch one another everywhere. He devours my neck with licks and kisses and I wither to his touch as I grab the bottom of his t-shirt to pull it quickly off of him. He reluctantly breaks contact with me to get it over his head but once discarded his hands cup my face again and pull me in.
I hate fighting with him, but if this is the outcome of it then maybe I should pick some more quarrels. We are both making it up to each other and telling the other we are sorry in a different manner than talking. I feel the bulge in his jeans and I moan as he grunts and shifts against me roughly. All too soon he grabs my shirt and lifts it off before making his way to my chest. My fingers clutch the back of his hair as he kisses and sucks his way down to my breasts, snacking his hand to the back to unclasp my bra.
Suddenly the door flies open. "Edward Cullen you better be here!" Alice shouts as she storms into the living room gasping in shock when she sees the situation before her.
Her hands shoot up to cover her eyes. "Holyshit! Ew, I'm sorry! I didn't know I would walk in on this!"
I quickly stand up and grab my shirt, pulling it over my head and smoothing down my hair. My face is probably three shades of red at the moment because I am pretty mortified that Edward's sister walked in on us like that. What a buzz kill. I am also still flustered from Edward.
Edward stands up quickly and I can tell he is still overwhelmed from a second ago and furious that we were interrupted. His hair is a mess from my fingers and his lips look swollen from the hungry kiss and small cut. "What do you want Alice?" He barks.
Her eyes are still covered when she replies, "I just wanted to know what the hell happened. Dad had to go back to the hospital and Mom is food shopping. Is it safe to look now?"
"Yes and next time please knock." I reply, trying to hide my annoyance because I know it wasn't intentional. I'm more embarrassed than angry.
She moves her hands down and looks at us finally. "Well no offense but this is a 'living room'. Bella's bedroom is right upstairs. I mean you're lucky it wasn't Charlie walking in to see his innocent daughter getting dry humped by the neighbor boy-"
I groan in embarrassment and cover my beat red face.
"If that's all Alice then you can leave now." Edward fumes, but I can tell by his flushed face that he is embarrassed too.
"I'm sorry for that subject change, I'm just a little freaked out. You are my brother and she is my best friend and even though I'm happy for you too, that's just stuff I do not want to see. Anyway, more importantly…how in trouble are you? You didn't get expelled right?" She asks.
I turn to Edward quickly, suddenly worried since that part hadn't crossed my mind when we were fighting.
He runs his fingers through hair and sighs. "No Carlisle helped me out so I'm only suspended for a week." Both Alice and I breathe out a sigh of relief.
"Alright that's all I wanted too know. Thank God." She turned to leave but then stopped. "Shoot Edward, Mom just pulled up. You better come home and explain to her what happened before she has a fit."
Edward nods and looks over at me, appearing as if he hates to leave me.
"It's ok. Esme is probably just worried. Come back over if you can or I'll come to you." He smiles warmly and kisses me again, lingering on my lips.
"Hurry up and for goodness sake put a shirt on Edward." Alice chides as she leaves through the front door.
"I'll see you soon." He says as he kisses the top of my nose and follows her out. I turn to walk into the kitchen thinking he left but he runs back in and scoops we up into his arms, kissing me again. He lowers me down and looks into my eyes with his crooked smile on his face. "I just needed one more." With that he turns and goes out the front door, leaving me standing there staring at the door like an idiot, thinking about when I get to see him again.
