Chapter 05: Dreams and unexpected run ins

Bella's pov

Edward was standing in the gazebo, fiddling with his glasses.

"Edward?" I whispered.

He whirled around to look at me. His eyes were dark and hooded. He stalked towards me in an almost predatory way.

I shivered as he closed in on me. My stomach tightened when his scent filled my head.

"You don't know how long I've waited for you," he breathed before firmly gripping my upper arms.

He yanked me into his chest and stared into my eyes with heavy intensity. My body was pressed against his and I could clearly feel the evidence of his arousal against my abdomen.

I whimpered when he crushed his lips to mine. His tongue urgently begged for entrance and I allowed him. Our tongues battled for dominance, but his eventually won. One of his hands fisted into my hair, the other pressed into the small of my back. He ground his hips into me and I moaned loudly into his mouth.

I was grasping at his shoulders, digging my fingertips into his muscles. He groaned and slid his hands to the back of my thighs. He pulled me up so I could wrap my legs around his waist.

His erection pressed against my centre and I felt the delicious friction I was craving. He quickly strode back to the house. When we entered the alarm started to beep. I groaned in protest. Edward punched in some numbers on the pad, but it just kept beeping.

Beep. Beep. Beep!

I jerked upright and huffed in frustration. I smacked the alarm clock and fell back into my pillows. God, I was so turned on.

I closed my eyes and attempted to fall back to sleep. I got interrupted by a loud clattering sound from the living room.

I shot out of bed and threw myself towards the door. I yanked it open and stood frozen. There, on our couch, was Jasper in just his boxers looking just as shocked as me. The coffee table was knocked to the side, and Alice was sprawled across the floor, surrounded by what looked like breakfast, but it had spilled everywhere.

After two minutes both Jasper and I started snickering and then laughing and eventually we were both clutching our sides, tears rolling over our cheeks. Alice scrambled to her feet, silently fuming.

Rosalie found us that way and immediately burst into laughter. Apparently this was the last straw to Alice's composure because she dropped the angry scowl and was now howling with laughter like the rest of us.

When we all calmed down, I helped Alice pick up the spilled breakfast while Rosalie and Jasper moved to the kitchen to make a new breakfast.

"Hey, Bella," Alice started timidly.

"Yes?"

"What happened with Edward last night?"

"I apologized and I realized that Jacob is an asshole. We're going to see where what happens. Just let it come naturally."

"Oh. So when will you see him again?"

"Not sure. I don't want to rush things, so I'm going to wait for him to call."

Alice looked a little sceptic but dropped the subject nonetheless.

Edward's pov

When I woke up early Saturday afternoon I was hard. I had been dreaming about Bella and the evidence of that was a raging hard on. I thanked the heavens that the others still appeared to be sleeping. Wouldn't want to run into my room mates in this condition.

I groaned and rubbed my hands over my face. Better get in the shower. I grabbed a towel and a change of clothes, not really checking what I'd taken, but who cared?

While the water was heating I quickly brushed my teeth and got undressed. I stepped under the hot stream and felt the muscles in my back relax. I closed my eyes and flashes of my dream floated before my eyes.

Bella in a light summer dress in my meadow back in Forks.

Bella on a blanket, her hair fanned out beneath her, her body only covered in lacy underwear, looking up at me with hooded eyes as I caressed her divine body.

I was slowly stroking myself as I let the images flow. I had been woken before I had made lover to her, but my fantasy filled in the rest of it. I pumped myself harder as I imagined thrusting into her warm, hot core.

I braced one hand against the wall and groaned as I felt the tension in my abdomen increase. I fantasized about taking Bella form behind, while hearing her scream my name. With a loud grunt I came, shooting my load onto the tiles. I quickly rinsed the tiles and finished my shower.

Downstairs it was blissfully quiet and I had every intention of enjoying the morning paper with a cup of coffee and some toast, but I was rudely interrupted when Emmett came into the kitchen.

"Hey, Edward! How was your night, buddy?"

"Just peachy," I grumbled.

"I heard a bit of what was said when I was in the kitchen getting something to drink. That girl's a real fire cracker isn't she?"

"It sure looked like it, but from what I've gathered from Rosalie and what I can tell by looking at her, she's almost as shy as me."

"Rose did say that, didn't she? But from what I've heard and seen she's behvaed pretty out of character last night."

"I know and that's what puzzles me the most. I guess I'll just have to wait and see, won't I?"

He nodded and grabbed a cup of coffee for himself. "Were you serious about kicking Jacob out?"

"Yes, I was."

"I might have someone who would be interested in taking over the room. If you'll allow it that is."

"Who?"

"James Hunter. He's on the baseball team and he broke up with the girl he was living with."

"I'll think about it. Jacob would have to leave first, Emmett."

He smirked. "Yeah, but I'm willing to bet it won't take him long. That kid's got a serious chip on his shoulder when it comes to you and what happened last night with Bella was just making it worse."

I shrugged and pushed my glasses higher up my nose. "We'll just wait and see for now. Do you have any plans for the day?"

"I was going to head in to town to do some shopping. I want to get Rosalie something so I can make up for being such an ass."

"That might be a good idea. She was really worried about what she said last night and the welcome wasn't exactly friendly at her apartment."

Emmett frowned and looked sad. "Can I let you in on something at the risk of sounding like a girl?"

"Sure. Why not?"

"The thing I have for Rosalie isn't just physical, you know? I like her for who she is, the haughty behaviour included. She very well might be the one for me, man and it scares the shit out of me."

"Em, just take it slow. If you and her are meant to be together, it will happen on it's own. She's into you, I don't know how deep because we just met last night, but I could see that she was attracted."

Emmett beamed. "Thanks, man. I needed to hear that. You want to help me out with this kiss and make up thing, because you certainly seem better at this shit than I am."

"Yeah, because he's a fucking fag," Jacob spat from behind us.

Bella's pov

Jasper had to go into work and Rosalie had made plans to go see her mother, so Alice and I were hanging around the house with nothing much to do.

"Hey, you want to go shopping? Now that you've made up with Edward, you might need some sexy lingerie."

"No, Alice. No way. That stuff is for you and Rosalie, not for me. I'd look ridiculous in it."

"Come on, Bella. How many times do I have to tell you, you are beautiful? You just have to stop hiding all your assets under baggy hoodies and worn out jeans. You looked amazing last night and look what it landed you, making out with a hot guy of the nerdy variety."

I rolled my eyes. "Yeah and I got a shit load of drama to boot. Isn't that just dandy?"

"Oh, stuff it. You were glowing when you spoke about Edward last night."

I sighed and remembered my dream from last night. My cheeks flushed red and I quickly his my face behind a pillow.

"Oh, Bells. You've got it bad for him. Come on, let me get you something nice to wear for when the two of you start getting all hot and heavy."

After remembering the desire I had felt during my dream I relented. "Fine, but I get vetoes."

"Sure thing. I know you're not comfortable enough to go for the stuff Rose and I wear, but we can at least spice it up a little."

I blushed again and shook my head. I had never felt like this before and I wasn't sure whether I should like it, or be embarrassed about it.

I shoved those thoughts to the back of my mind when Alice pulled me up from the chair and dragged me behind her to go shopping.

When we arrived at the mall Alice dragged me straight to Victoria's Secret. I flushed pink but tried to reel in my anxiety as I took in all the lace and satin. Alice walked through the store, quickly scanning for potential buys. Within the first ten minutes she had snagged five bra and panty sets, two nightgowns and one baby doll set. She shoved it all into my arms and ordered me to try it all on.

I was grumbling when I stumbled into the dressing room, Alice's tinkling laugh only serving to increase my annoyance. I considered refusing them all, just to spite Alice but that wouldn't get me to be a bit bolder with Edward once I'd see him again.

Last night I had initially acted on the high of anticipation, then on the low of rejection and then on the surge of electricity that I had felt the moment Edward touched me.

I was afraid he'd see what a total loser I really was when we'd meet again in broad daylight and needed all the artificial confidence I could get. If sexy lingerie would get me that, then sexy lingerie I would get.

Edward's pov

After almost decking Jacob, again, Emmett managed to drag me out of the house and into the mall to help him with his gift for Rosalie.

We had been though several stores when Emmett spotted Victoria's secret and a huge grin lit up his face.

"No, Emmett. Buying a girl lingerie after you've messed up the way you did is not going to help your case."

"I agree," I heard someone behind me say.

Emmett and I both turned and I grinned when I recognized Alice. "Hi, Alice."

"Edward, nice to see you again. Who's your friend?"

"This is Emmett. Emmett this is Alice she's Bella and Rosalie's room mate."

"Oh, you're the git that asked her to spend the night once she was crying?"

Emmett looked like he was a kid who got scolded by his favourite teacher. "Yeah," he muttered.

Alice was about to say something when I noticed Bella walking up, carrying a tell tale pink bag in her hand. She saw us and her face paled considerably.

"H-hi," she stammered, her cheeks flushing as she placed the bag behind her back.

"Hi."

We were staring at each other and I didn't even notice that Alice had pulled Emmett aside and we were now standing alone, staring at each other in the middle of a crowded mall. Someone bumped into Bella from behind and she came flying forward. I caught her in my arms and pulled her against me.

My body was completely aware of her proximity and my erection was already straining against my jeans. She was looking up at me from under her lashes and then bit her lip. I had to bite back a moan at the sight and instead I lowered my mouth to hers and kissed her softly.

She sighed and relaxed into my arms, wrapping hers around my neck, bag and all. Her lips became a little more urgent and I felt a searing fire run through me. I whimpered when I let my tongue graze her lips and she opened them to let her tongue meet mine.

We continued kissing until I heard catcalls and whistles that were distinctly Emmett's. I pulled away and felt my cheeks burn.

"Sorry," we both said at the same time.

I smiled, she smiled and then we were both laughing.

"I can't believe I was so nervous about seeing you again. I was such a mess last night and I was so sure that if you'd see me in my normal state you'd just walk past me," she whispered.

I kissed her forehead. "I was afraid you'd realized how much of a geek I really was and walk away, so I guess we were both wrong."

She nodded and grabbed one of my hands. "Come on, let's give Emmett some advice on how to patch things up with Rosalie."

I grinned and we turned to our friends, who were both looking at us in a mixture of surprise and amusement.

"Wow, Bella. I never thought I'd see the day that you'd make out in public," Alice chided playfully when we reached them.

Bella's pov

I smacked Alice's arm with my free hand and, in an act of complete maturity, I stuck out my tongue at her.

Alice returned the favour and we both started giggling. She told us that she had talked to Emmett and Alice had decided we would help him make it up to Rosalie. With that we headed to the one shop where Rose would be able to spend eternity.

When we were done Emmett was staring into the bag in his hands in bewilderment.

"Are you girls sure this will do the trick?"

"Positive," Alice chimed. "Rose is a big fan of muscle cars and she was looking for that thingamajig for her car for ages. It was too pricey for her to buy it new, so she was waiting for a second hand to come in. You were just lucky I was home alone when they called that they got it and that I forgot all about the phone call up until now."

Emmett chuckled. "Jeez, little pixie. Do you ever breathe?"

"No, she doesn't," I interjected.

Emmett laughed and patter my back. "I like you girls already. So what do you guys say to getting some dinner."

Alice bounced up and down and clapped her hands. "We can go to La Bella Italia. Jazz is working tonight so we can get some drinks for free."

Both Edward and Emmett agreed and we all headed outside to our cars to go to La Bella Italia for dinner.
