Thank you so much for you reviews, here is another one...hope you like it.
I drove really carefully; I did not want to get in an accident with my new car, on the first time I was driving. Through my rear view mirror I could tell that Edward was once again following me, I could imagine him rolling his eyes to how slow I was driving, sometime I thought I saw him laughing, only followed me half of the way, I didn't even notice when he left, one moment he was there the next he was gone.
"Hi, mom."
"Bella, are you on your way home?"
"Yes, I'll be there in about five minutes, come outside, I want to show you something."
"What are you up to?"
"It's a surprise; just do what I'm asking."
"Ok, drive safely."
I drove the rest of the way and when I got to my house my mother was sitting on the front step, she looked up and took a few seconds to realize I was the one driving that car, she got up and ran to me.
"Oh, my God Bella, is this your new car?"- My mother asked ecstatic.
"Yes, can you believe it? I'm driving a Mercedes!"- I said laughing.
"Bella, this is so beautiful, I never thought they would give you a car like this."- She said covering her mouth.
"If you think it's beautiful on the outside, take a look on the inside."- My mom opened the door and gasped when she looked at the beautiful dashboard, I had to admit I was starting to enjoy my new car.
"I can't believe this; you have to let me drive it sometime."
"And there is more."- I said going to the trunk and opening it.
"More?"- She gasped again.-"What is all this?"- My mom asked looking at the big suitcase.
"My new clothes…"- Suddenly my mom's arms were around me holding me tightly.
"I'm so proud of you, honey, look at you, so successful. "
"You're not going to cry are you?"
"I just might, you can't believe how happy I am for you."
"Thanks mom. Can you please help with this?"
"Sure."- It took both of us to carry everything inside I put the cookie jar on the kitchen counter and couldn't help but smile to myself.-"Hum, those look good."- Renée asked with a puzzled look.
"They are amazing; it was Alice's mom that made them."- It wasn't a complete lie.-"You can have one if you like."- She studied my face for a little bit.
"I will, later. Now let's get this upstairs."- We took the suitcase to my room.
"What's for dinner?"
"I'm making Lasagna."
"Hum…that sounds good."- I said crashing on my bed.-"Do you mind if I take I quick shower? I also need to call Alice."
"Of course not, take your time."
"Thanks mom."- My mom went downstairs and I got my phone to called Alice.
"So, do you like it?"- She said before I could say anything.
"Yes, I do, but I will miss my truck."
"No you won't. Isn't it beautiful, Edward helped to choose, as soon as we saw it we knew that you would love it."
"It's a bit too much, Alice."
"Nonsense, it's perfect. I'm so happy that you like it. Oh, Rose says hi."
"Tell Rose hello and thank you both. You guys are spoiling me."
"You deserve it."
"I haven't done hardly anything yet."
"But you will, I know you will."
"Thank you for the vote of confidence."
"You're welcome. I'll see you tomorrow and be ready to tell me about your time with Edward."
"See you tomorrow.
I went to the bathroom and took a long shower, my mind was filled with the memories of my time with Edward, every touch, every kiss, the smell of is skin, the warmth of his body…I missed him it was like a part of me was missing, I didn't feel complete.
I wrapped myself in a towel and went to my room, I put on some old pajamas and looked at the suitcase, I wasn't sure if all of that would fit in my closet. I opened it and started to hang my new outfits. After I removed the first layer of clothes I found a velvet box with a yellow silk ribbon. I opened it and there was a golden envelope and underneath it the most beautiful dress and a pair of matching shoes I had ever see. I opened the envelope and it read:
"I dreamed about dancing with you and you looked beautiful in a blue dress, so I asked Alice to design the perfect dress for you, I hope you like it, it is unique, just like you. I can't wait to see you in it.
I know every guy in that dance will only have eyes for you, but please save a dance for me."
Love
Edward
I took the dress out of the box; it was a combination of satin and chiffon, it was strapless and had an empire waist, a sweetheart neckline and open back with crisscross straps around the waist and it was really short. My heart was exploding with joy; I couldn't believe he had gone to all of this trouble for me, my God! He had Alice design this just for me.
I thought it was strange when he asked me if I already had a dress, I wondered if I had said yes if he would still had given me this. I took my phone and called him.
"Hello…"- He said and I could hear the smile in his voice.
"Hi…I love it."
"What are you talking about, Ms Swan?"- He said laughing.
"You know what I'm talking about, the dress I love it."
"It makes me very happy to hear that."
"I can't believe you actually asked Alice to do it especially for me."
"You deserve it, she put her soul into it, she'll be happy to hear that you liked."
"Thank you."
"Oh, don't thank me; I did it only for pure selfish reasons."
"What do you mean?"
"Well, it will show some of my favorite parts of your body…so I can enjoy them, even if it is from across the room."
"Really? And what parts might those be?"
"Your legs that will look even longer with those shoes and your neck and shoulders that will be bare and will look delicious."
"You know if you want to look, kiss or touch any part of my body, all you have to do is ask, you didn't have to go to all this trouble."
"Any part?"- He whispered.
"Yes…I'm all yours."
"Hum…what if asked to do the touching yourself."- Oh…My…God!
"Are you trying to ask me to have phone sex, Mr. Cullen?"- No answer.
"No…maybe… I don't know…I don't know what I'm doing anymore, I miss you too much. You have no idea the kind of thoughts that have being crossing my mind."
"What kind of thoughts?"
"The kind I shouldn't be having…"
"Do you think we will be able to make it in school?"
"I don't know…we have to."
"Well we can always go into the janitor's closet…"- I said laughing.
"Really? Have you been there a lot of times?"
"No…but I hear a lot of stories about it."
"I'm glad to hear that…You know that kind of puzzles me?"
"What?"
"That none of those boys really saw how unique and beautiful you are."
"Maybe that's because they don't see me like that."
"If that is the case, they are all blind. But I promise you; once they see you in that dress they will change their minds in a second."
"Really?"- I said laughing.
"Yes, and it will be too late, because now your mine and I don't intent to let you go."
"That's good to hear…"
"It's true Bella, and I hope you can see me that way too, even after all the things you learned about me today."- I hadn't had time to think about that yet so I really didn't know what to respond.-"Are you still there?"
"I haven't had the time to digest that yet…"
"Bella…whatever I did before I met you it's in the past…you can ask me about all that if you want, I want you to know me all of me the good and the bad."
"It really doesn't matter…I love you, and I don't care about your past."- He sighed heavily.
"I'm so relieved to hear you say that…I was so worried that you would think less of me…I need you to promise me something."
"What?"
"If you ever doubt anything, if you ever feel uncomfortable, if you want to know something, talk to me, I'll do anything…do you promise?"
"Yes I promise and the same works for you."
"Good…"
"Edward I need to go now, my mom is waiting for me; I'll call you before I go to sleep, ok?"
"Ok…bye my love."
"Goodbye Edward."
I hung up the phone and quickly put the rest of the clothes in my closet trying not to think about all that I had talked to Edward, I would think about it later. I went downstairs to find my mom in the kitchen singing along with some song on the radio.
"Do you need help with anything?"
"No, honey everything is done."- She looked at me and smile.-"So, tell me how was your weekend? Were they nice to you?"
"Yes, mom they are all very sweet."
"What did you do?"-My mind was filled with images of things I couldn't tell my mom.
"On Saturday we went the Alice's parent's house, mom you should have see that place, it is like a five star resort, it has this huge heated pool, it has everything you can imagine. Oh and her father, he is gorgeous, like a movie star."
"Really?"
"And he is really nice, I had I wonderful talk with him about his work."
"Was Edward there?"- Her question surprised a bit.
"Yes, he was."
"And?"
"And…if you think he is hot with clothes on, you should have seen only wearing swim short, I almost had a heart attack, too much for young heart."- I decided this was the best way to answer her acting like any other teenage girl; my mom smiled encouraging me to continue.-"He has a body of an underwear model; I thought I was going to pass out."
"Did you talk to him?"
"Yes, we talk for a bit, he is a really interesting man."
"It's a shame he is your teacher, uh?"
"What do you mean by that? Are you encouraging me to develop a crush on my teacher?"
"No, but I thought a lot about our conversation, and I think you are right, maybe it would be easier for you if you dated an older guy, I totally see that."
"Wow…if dad knows about this, he will have your head."- She laughed.
"I'm not telling you to do it, I just get it. But if you do meet someone, I want to be the first to know, ok?"- I nodded in response, because I was not able to talk, I felt so bad about hiding my relationship with Edward from her, but it was so complicated and I couldn't predict how she would actually react, but it was a good thing she understood.
We kept talking during dinner, while we were cleaning the kitchen and for about two more hours sitting in the living room. She told me all about her weekend and the wonderful time she had with Phil. I could tell she was getting serious about him, which was a big deal for her, but one thing I was sure of she was head over heels about him.
I went to my room, brushed my teeth and looked at my reflection in the mirror, I did not see myself has a beautiful girl, I was purely average, there was nothing about me that stood out. Suddenly my reflection was replaced by the face of a blond girl, I could see why Edward would fall in love for someone like Tanya, she was definitely a beauty, and for all that Alice and Rosalie said about her she was also a very interesting woman.
She would be the best choice for someone like Edward, a lot less complicated, images of the two of them together came to my mind and my heart ached to a point I could breath anymore, I shook my head trying to erase those thoughts, and went to my room and crashed on my bed.
Now I was seeing Jane's face, and Edward's words about her echoed in my mind. He said he never loved, so it was just about the sex…the pain in his eyes when he talked about that was tremendous, he also said that she had some kind of power over him, what if she came back for him? Would his love for me be stronger than her? Would he leave me to go back to her? If it was all about the sex with her, why was that kind of a taboo with me? Was I not desirably? Part of me knew this wasn't true, I could clearly see that he reacted to me, and that he wanted me. Was the fact that he was my teacher the only factor that kept him from going any further? Or deep down was he afraid to lose control of himself, like he did with Jane? If he was telling me the truth, which I knew he was, he never had anyone else after Jane, had she damaged that deeply?
Was he afraid that I would damage him as well? Did he think I was like her?
My mind was going in circles I didn't know what to think anymore, part of me said I should just let this go and that he really loved me, but another part of me was not sure of that, because what I could I possibly have to keep a man like that with me, but the thought of him leaving me was unbearable. All these thoughts reigned in my mind until I finally fell asleep.
"Would you give me the honor of dancing with me, Ms. Swan?"- I turned around to find Edward in a black suit, and with the most beautiful smile.
"Of course."- I said trying not to blush, I could hear the music, I only saw him.
"I knew you would beautiful in that dress."- He said appraising me.
"Thank you, my boyfriend gave it to me."- He smiled.
"He was wonderful taste, well but that's obvious if he chose you."- Ok, now I was blushing.
"Thank you, but you should know that I'm the lucky one because he chose me."
"I'm sure he would disagree with that."- We laughed and look into each other's eyes, it was so hard being this close to him and not being able to act according to my feelings.
"See, I was right all of the guys are looking at you."
"There's only one I want."- He smiled.
"I wish I could kiss right now."
"I wish I could be kissed right now."
Suddenly a pair of hands appeared next to Edward turning his face away from me, and look and Jane was behind him, pushing him towards her, he looked at me with sadness in his eyes and let me go.
"Edward? What are you doing?"
"I'm sorry, Bella."
He turned his back to me and held her in his arms, my heart was bleeding, I couldn't breathe.
"No, I can't leave…you said you loved me. Edward please, I need you."- I begged him, and she started to walk taking him away, she looked at me.
"Oh…silly girl, do you actually think he loved you? He is mine, he was never yours and he never will be."- She laughed and disappeared taking him with her, I dropped to my knees crying.
"Edward! Edward!"- I shouted but there was no other sound then my crying.
I woke up covered in sweat, my hair was soaked, my chest hurt and I couldn't breathe, I knew it was only a nightmare but the memory of it was very clear in my mind, I went to the bathroom and washed my face, but once my eyes hit the mirror I saw Jane's face laughing. I ran to my bed and got my phone, there was a missed call from Edward, I looked at the clock and realized it was two in the morning.
I needed to hear his voice, but I didn't want to wake him up, I looked at my phone not certain of what to do. He would probably think that I was silly letting a bad dream affect me like that, so I put my phone down and closed my eyes, but her image kept coming back to my mind and tears started to fall down my cheeks and before I knew it I was sobbing against my pillow.
Suddenly I hear soft footsteps, and turned around expecting to see my mother, but whomever was here was a lot taller than my mom, I was about to scream when hands covered my mouth, my heart was racing and I froze.
"Shh…it's me Bella, please don't scream."- I immediately recognize that sweet voice and my arms flew to hold him.-"I didn't mean to scare you, I just needed to see you."- Edward said removing his hands from my mouth.
"Oh…Edward…"- Was all I could say, because I was completely overwhelmed, I couldn't believe he was here, my tears kept streaming down my cheeks.-"I almost called you…I had this awful dream… I'm so happy you are here, I needed you so much…"- My lips found his in the darkness and I kissed him desperately, I needed his touch, I needed him and by the way he was kissing me he was feeling the same.
"Why are you crying?"- He asked me when we pulled away to breathe.
"It's not important now that you are here…"- I held him tightly.-"How did you get in? We locked everything, and the alarm. How …"
"I need to see you…I was worried and then I called and you didn't answer…and before I knew it I was on my way here, it was like you were calling me and I had to come…You know you should get another lock, the one you have it very easy to unlock…and your alarm…you should definitely change that code, birthdays are never a good option…"- My lips cut him off with another kiss.
"I can't believe you are here…you actually broke into my house, just to see me…"
"Nothing was going to keep me from seeing you…I needed to feel you." – We kissed again even more passionate and desperately. I pulled him to me, I needed to feel his body, I needed all of him.-"Tell me why you were crying."- He said against my lips.
"It's silly…"
"Please tell me…"
"I had this weird dream that Jane was taking you away from me…it was terrible."- His lips crashed mine again in a deep kiss.
"I'm never going to leave you…Bella, you are everything to me…I knew I should have never told you about her…"
"No…I needed to know…it was best that you told me yourself, it would be a lot worse if I had heard about it from someone else."
"You're right about that…Bella, I'm never going back to her…she was a bad choice I made when I was younger, and I am not the same anymore. I still don't know what drove me to get involved with her, I feel so sick just to think about it."- I looked into his eyes; even in the dim light I could see nothing but honesty.
"Edward, can I ask you something?"-He nodded.-"Is it because of what happened with her that you don't want to…to go further in our relationship? Are you afraid to lose yourself with me?"- He was quiet for a long time, caressing my cheeks gently.
"No…I just don't want to do it while we have to hide what we feel about each other, I what to things right…- He kissed me gently.-"You are nothing like Jane, I want nothing more than to lose myself in you, in your eyes, in your lips, in your arms…-" He said kissing me between each new thing he added.-"Bella, I just broke into your house in the middle of the night just to see you, that must show you how much I need you."
"I can't believe you did that…"- I said smiling.-"You must really do love, don't you?"
"I do, more than my life, please believe me."- His words washed away all of my insecurities. Was it really possible that he loved me, just as much as I loved him? Could his life have change, just like mine did to give room for me? It was obvious he had chosen me, regardless of who I was, he loved me with all my insecurity and silliness, Edward Cullen loved me…in that moment I knew that no one was going to keep us apart not even a dozen of Janes, because no matter what our future would bring, I was going to fight for him, no matter what would cost me.
Suddenly my brain got distracted by the way he was kissing me, and my covers were in the way of his body so I kicked them away and pulled him closer to me. The minute I felt his body on top of mine all was forgotten, there was only him.
"Shh…you have to be quiet; you are going to wake your mother."- Edward said laughing against my lips.
"I completely forgot about her…I wonder what her reaction would be if she found you here."
"Let's not find out, ok?"- I was so happy I wanted to squeal like a little girl.
"You know what she told me last night?"
"No…"- He said kissing my neck.
"That she wouldn't mind if I dated an older guy."
"Really? She said that?"
"Yap and she asked me if I had seen you."
"What did say?"
"I said that I saw you at your parent's house, and told her about your amazing body and how breathless I was when I say you."- He smiled
"I make you breathless…hum…that's good to know."
"Like if you did know that already."
"Actually, I did…"- I whispered in my ear, and gently bit my ear lobe setting me on fire and I pulled him to a kiss.
"I think I like your bed better…"- I said completely out of breath.
"Why?"
"There's more room to move."- He smiled.
"True, but in yours we have to be like really close to each other, like this…"- He said as he pushed in body against mine, driving me insane and I pulled him into another kiss.
"I guess you have a point…"- He laughed softly.
"So, I guess this one's a tie, uh?"- I could believe he was still counting.
"Yes, which it means I'm still winning."- He kissing my neck slowly, his warm breath sending shivers down my spine.
"I know…"- He whispered in my ear.-"Maybe…you'll win, after all."- And he gave me one of those deep slow kisses that made me dizzy…this was going to be an interesting night.
"Bella, you are going to be late."- My mom said as she opened my door and my heart stopped.
Hum...I wonder what Renée will say...hope you liked this one, more coming soon. Thank you all for reading my story and thank for all your words of encouregement.
