You have overwelmed with yor reviews, thank you so much for reading my story, you are making me very happy, even though I've been home sick. You made me feel a lot better. So here is another chapter, hope you enjoy it.
I went to my room and got all the things I needed, I included extra clothes thinking that the chance of spending the weekend there could come up, and then called Edward.
"Hey beautiful."- He said at the first ring.
"Hi, I'll be going to Alice's tonight."
"I heard about it. It's really sweet what you are doing for your mom."
"Well, I might just have done this for pure selfish reasons."
"Really?"- He asked with a chuckle.
"Yeah, I just needed to be closer to you. I miss you too much; it was such a crazy week."
"I miss you too, I almost asked you to meet in the paper's room for a much need make out session, but I didn't want you to miss another class. It's good to know you'll be close by."
"You should have asked me...I'll close but far way at the same time, right?"
"Just leave your window open, I might just join you."
"Really?"- I said not able to hide my excitement.
"Yes…and if that doesn't work I might just have to kidnap you."
"Hum…I like the sound of that. Oh…I have to go, the sooner I get there the better."
"Ok…I'll see you soon."
"Edward?"
"Yeah?"
"Try not to drink too much."
"Don't worry."
"Ok, bye."
"Bella?"
"Yeah?"
"Wear something sexy…you owe me that, remember?"
"Goodbye Edward."- I said blushing.
Before I could put the phone in my pocket I got a text message from Edward that read:
I wish I could see your face right now, I bet it must be blushing…
See you soon.
I was really getting to know me well, but was he serious? Did he really want me to wear? I thought about it for a little while, maybe he was just teasing me. Well if that was the case, I would make him regret that. I went to my closet and got this really sexy night gown, it was V-neck chemise with built-in shelf bra for support and large satin ribbon giving it a very feminine look, it had a flowing body with ruffled trim it was really short and had matching panties, I was so going to win tonight.
I went to my mom's room and helped her to get ready; we locked everything and got on our way.
I had never driven to their house before, so it was a good thing that my new car came with a GPS and Emmet had been kind enough to save their address there.
"Thank you for doing this, Bella."
"You're welcome. You are going to love it, Esme, Alice's mom will be there too, you are going to love her she is very sweet. Rosalie will also be there. And don't be surprised if Alice begs us to stay the whole weekend."
"Really? You think she might do that?"
"Oh, yeah. Wait until you see her place, you will wish she does invite us to stay."
I followed the instructions, and once I turned to the dark pavement road I knew I was almost there. I parked in front of the house and was met by a very cheerful Alice.
"You're here!"- She said beaming and bouncing of the floor.
"Thank you for the invitation.-"- My mom said.
"It's my pleasure, come on in."- We went inside, and my mom gasped as she looked around the house.
"Bella!"- Esme said when I walked into the living room; she came closer and hugged me.
"It's so good to see you again."- I turned to my mom.-"This is Esme, Alice's mom."
"It's really nice to finally meet. Bella told us a lot about you."- Esme said making my mom blush.
"Thank you, it's nice to meet you too."
"Bella, why don't you take your mom to the other guest room, so she can change?"- Alice said.
"Sure, come on mom."
I took my mom up the stairs and into one of the guest rooms, I opened the door, and my mom gasped again.
"Oh, my God Bella, it's like you are in a five star hotel."
"Esme did all the decoration."
"Wow. What about you? Where are you staying?"
"Oh, I stay in that room over there."- I said point the door.-"They decorated specially for me."
"Right, I remember you telling me about that."
"Ok, now put your bikini on and I'll go and do the same. I'll meet you here."
I went to my room, changed and put my clothes away, I didn't Edward to come in here and find a mess, I got my phone in case he would call and left.
When I got out of my room I saw my mom leaning against the wall waiting for me. We went downstairs and met the others outside. They were all in the huge hot tub, including Rosalie. There were trays of fruit and drinks set on the floor next to the hot tub.
"This is so beautiful, look at this view."- My mom said in wonder.
"Thank you. It was one of the reasons why we choose this place."- Alice said.
"You'll have to forgive me if I keep saying that, Bella and I are not used to this much luxury."- My mom said kind of embarrassed.
"We just want you to feel welcome, and please let us if we over do it."- Esme said.
"Yeah, Bella always does."- Alice said rolling her eyes.
"Alice! Behave."
"What? I'm just saying that Bella is comfortable enough to tell us if she feels uncomfortable with something."
"So Renée, Bella told us you are dating a younger man, how is that like?"- Rosalie asked and my mom was a bit stunned by the question, but she loved to talk about Phil.
"Well, I have to say it was a bit of a surprise in the beginning, I thought he was just looking for a good time, I'm always open to that. But after our first date I realized he wanted more, like a relationship and that blew me away."
"Is he cute?"- Alice asked.
"Yes, he is very gorgeous."
"Is he good in bed?"- Rosalie asked and my mom blushed. I had never noticed before, that my mom blushed as much as I did. It was cute.
"He is great, it's like he can never have enough. Oh and the things he does to me…"
"Emmet is like that too, he is always in the mood, nothing brings that man down, if you know what I mean."
"You are always in the mood as well."- Alice said.
"So? Like you and Jasper aren't. I'm just open about it."
"Maybe that's the problem…your always opened."- Alice said laughing and we joined her.
We drank and ate some fruit and continued to talk about random topics well most of them around sex, which let me without much to say. My mom and Esme seem to be getting along very well, I leaned back and looked at the full moon that was beginning to appear, I thought how wonderful it would be to be enjoying this Edward, I was happy to be here, but my heart was somewhere else.
"Do you want to sneak out?"- Alice whispered to me.
"No…I just miss him. I hardly saw him since Monday."
"I know…we'll find a way to get you two together."
"Well, he asked me to leave my window opened."- I said grinning.
"Really…he's been miserable all week. He probably doesn't show it to you, but I know him."
"I figured that much. I hate this…I think I'm going to tell my mom."
"You should talk to him about that."
"I know…but I don't think I can keep this from her anymore, it will make things easier."
"Or worse."
"I just…I don't know."
The conversation flew freely, you know women together…My mom shared more stories about Phil and Charlie, and so did the others, I was the only one who couldn't share my story. This was really getting to me, I wanted to be free and tell the world how much I loved Edward.
After about one hour, we decided it was time to eat, I dried my body with a towel and wrapped myself in pareo, they all went inside and I just stayed there, I went to the balcony where Edward's house could be see and looked up, his lights were on, I wondered if that was where they were. My phone rang and pulled me out of my thoughts, it was Edward.
"You look beautiful in the moon light."
"Are you watching me?"
"Would you me mad if I say yes?"
"No."
"In that case, yes I am."
"Are you at home?"
"Yes, we are all here, after the mess they made at Emmet's last time, Rosalie was not ready for us to have another guys night there. I even called Phil and he is on his way here."
"Really? That was very nice of you."
"Well, I might have done it for pure selfish reasons."- I laughed he was using the same word I did, well actually he used then first when he gave the dress for the dance.
"What reasons are those?"
"Hum…he could distract you mother, allowing me to be closer to you."
"Oh I miss you so much…I wish you could be here."
"I wish I was, because you look very hot right now. With your hair all wet and those drops of water sliding down your body…I could lick them all."- I felt my cheeks burn.-"God, I love it when you blush like that."
"You can't possibly see that with this distance."
"Yes I can, I got some new binoculars, they are even better than those night binoculars Emmet got. I can see everything."
"Can you see what I'm doing right now?"- I asked biting my lower lip, which I knew he found very sexy.
"I love it when you bite your lip like that."- My mind was filled with a lot of naughty things I could do for him to watch.-"What are you thinking about?"
"Nothing…"
"Liar… You have that devilish look you get right before you do something incredibly hot that drives insane."- I laughed.
"I was just thinking about a few things you might enjoy watching."- There was pause.
"You are a very dangerous creature, you know that?"
"I think you told me before."- I said smiling.
"Something is bothering you, isn't it?"
"Edward, I think I want to tell my mom about us. It's getting really hard for me."- There was another pause.
"Ok…if you are sure, maybe this will be the perfect time, with my mom being there, it could make things easier."
"I'm not sure…but…"
"I understand…would you like me to be with you?"
"Oh, no…I don't think that's a good idea… I really needed a hug right now."
"I love you so much…it breaks my heart to have to put you through all of this."
"Don't say that, it's worth it…"
"Are you sure you don't want me to be there?"
"Yes, I can do this."- I said more to reassure me than Edward.
"I know you can, I just wish things were easier."
"They will be…I should go inside."
"Ok, call me you need me. I'll see you later, my love."
"Bye."
I turned around just in time to see my mom walking out; she looked at me, smiled and joined me.
"They kicked me out of the kitchen, saying that a guest doesn't work."- She said laughing.-"I can see why you like them so much, they are all very nice. Thank you I'm having a great time."
"Good, you deserve it."
"Amazing view, is it?"
"Yes, they all live near each other; see that huge place with the trees down there?"- I said pointing.
"Yes."
"That's Esme and Carlisle's place, and over there is Rosalie and Emmet's and over there it's Edward's house, all the guys are there, I think Edward even called Phil."
"Really? That's great."- She looked at me, studying my face.-"You don't seem very happy."
"I'm fine."- I felt this was the right time to talk to my mother, I felt my body shake and stomach turned with all the nerves I was feeling.-"Mom, there's something I've been meaning to tell you…"- My heart was pounding loudly by now.
"You can tell me anything, Bella, you know that."
"Yes but…I don't know how to tell you this…it's kind of complicated…I…ah…you've always said that…ah…if…I…you know…"- The words just didn't get out of my mouth. She smiled and caressed my cheek.
"Is this about Edward?"- She asked.
"What?"- Now I was hyperventilating.
"About you and Edward… Bella, I know; I was just waiting for you to trust me enough to tell me about it."- I was now panicking.
"You know? What do you think you know, mom?"
"Oh, please Bella, I'm not blind, I saw the way you looked at each other, it was so obvious you have strong feelings for each other."- My mouth dropped to my feet, I couldn't believe what I was hearing.
"How…how long have you know?"
"Hum…Since that day at the restaurant, when we were in the parking lot, there was this minute when he looked at you, I think you were talking to Emmet, the love I saw in his eyes was so deep and pure, it blew me away. And I know you too well, Bella, you actually thought I wouldn't notice yours eyes shining, you smile, dressing better, the long late night phone calls, his perfume your clothes, staying late at work. Oh and this week at the grocery store…actually that was very cleaver of him, those sad puppy eyes, God he was so cute…anyway when you came around the corner and he saw you for a second he couldn't hide it and saw that love, no it was more like adoration, like he had just seen the most amazing thing. Oh, and your face when I told you to take him to your room was priceless, I had no doubt, and don't think I didn't notice him holding your hand under the table."- I was shocked, stunned, stupefied, I was completely blown away.
"I…I… don't know what to say…why didn't you tell me? Do you know how hard it's been to keep this from you?"
"I can imagine, but it was your secret to share and I wanted you to tell me, I wanted to know you trusted me enough."- The tears I had been holding were now streaming down my cheeks.
"I'm sorry mom…I just didn't know how to tell you, I was afraid of your reaction…I just wanted to protect him… it's such a complicated situation."- She smiled and wiped my tears gently.
"You really love him don't you?"
"Yes, more than anything, more than my own life. I know it sounds a bit drastic, and that I'm young but I just…know he is the one for me."
"You are sure about this, Bella? If things don't work out, you can both get hurt deeply."
"We know, we've talk about it almost every time we are together, but this is what we want, we want to be together."
"Oh, my God, my baby is finally in love…I'm so happy for you."- She said putting her arms around me hugging me tightly, and I sighed with relief.
"You don't know how good it is to hear you say that, mom. I was so afraid you would freak out, and report Edward, that's the only reason why I didn't tell you."
"Well, you should have known me better than that. This isn't the best situation, with him being your teacher, but I know from experience, that true love can come from where you least expect."
"I'm sorry, but you are so unpredictable sometimes, I just did know how you would react."
"Edward's family…they all know, don't they?"
"Yes, Alice figured it out by herself, and Edward told his parents."
"And they are ok with it?"
"Yes, but they are concerned because if someone finds out and reports Edward he could go to jail."
"Well, in that case you'll just have to be really careful."- She looked me straight in the eyes.-"Now, tell me, have you been safe?"
"Mom!"
"Don't give me that look…"
"Mom, I'm still a virgin, ok?"- She looked at me in disbelieve.-"Edward doesn't want to…you know…while he is my teacher. He wants to wait."
"Really? I have to say that surprises me. Because I was certain that when I called you last Sunday, you sounded really… distracted…if you know what I mean."
"Mom! Do you really think that if was…I would have answered the phone?"
"Hum…that must be really hard on you. Oh, I just realized that with my paranoia this week I might have made thing even harder."
"You have no idea."- I looked at my mom's face, I really loved her, I think deep down I always knew she would understand, but the fear of losing Edward kept me from telling her.-"Thank you for being so understanding. He means a lot to me."
"I'm just happy it's out of the closet, God, it was killing me to keep that secret and not talk about it."- That was my mom at her best.-" Bella, your happiness is all I want, honey."
"Thanks mom."- I said hugging her.-"We should get back inside with the others."
"Ok."- We turned around and found Alice, Rosalie and Esme looking at us with an "I'm so busted" look on their faces.
"We're sorry, this was very rude of us, but we were dying to know how you would react, Renée."- Alice said sheepishly.
"It's ok, I understand."- Alice came to my mom and hugged her.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you, for being so understanding, you have no idea what Bella means to my brother."
"Yes, thank you Renée, we were so worried."- Esme said with tears filling her eyes.
"Ok, so now that the cat is out of the bag, can we just have some fun?"- Rose said trying to lift the atmosphere, she smiled and winked at me.
"YEAH!"- We all shouted and went inside to have dinner, but I had to let Edward know.
"Do you mind if I just make a quick call?"
"If you're going to call Edward, don't worry about it. I already told him everything."- Alice said, and my mouth dropped.
"When did you call him?"
"Well I was texting during your conversation."- She said a little bit ashamed.
"Alice! I wanted to be the one to tell him."
"I'm sorry Bella, but he was freaking out, because he saw you talking to your mom, he wanted to be here, he almost came, I had to do something."- And she gave me that fake innocent look that melted the coldest heart.-"Am I forgiven?"- I rolled my eyes.
"Yes."- I said in defeat, and she hugged me.
"I knew we were going to be great friends."
"Wait, he was watching us? What do you mean by that?"- My mom asked.
"It's a long story; I'll tell you all about it."- Esme said leading my mom inside the house.
I felt like my feet were not touching the ground when I walked inside, we had a wonderful time at dinner, and told my mom about all that happened on out last girls night, she laughed really hard, especially when we told her about Emmet and Jasper dancing naked. It felt so great to actually be able to talk about Edward with my mom present, I felt like a tone had been lifted off my shoulders. My phone rang with a text message from Edward, it read:
"How happy are you right now?"
"Ecstatic! I would be even more if you were here."- I texted him back.
"My dad had to stop me from going there…I wanted to be there for you. I'm so happy your mom understood. I told you she liked me."- He was so conceited sometimes.
"I like you more."
"I know…Can't wait to see you again."
"Ahem…"- Alice cleared her throat to get my attention, and when I looked up they were all looking at me and of course I blushed.
"Sorry…"- I said and Alice rolled her eyes, then got that thoughtful look and then she had that smile that told me she just had a great idea.
"We should be celebrating right now; this is a very special occasion. I think we should go upstairs take a shower, put some really sexy clothes on, and go join our men for desert and celebrate."- My mouth opened into a huge smile.-"What do you think?"
"We all know what Bella thinks."- Rosalie said laughing.
"What? I'm just happy, ok? Can't a girl be happily in love?"- I said.
"I think it is a great idea."- Esme said.-"It would be nice to have the whole family finally together."- The whole family? Was she referring to me as family? Wow…
"Well, then we should go."- My mom said.
"Do you think we should let them know we are coming?"
"Nah…"- They all said at the same time.
Rose and Esme went home to change and we went upstairs. I took a shower and dried my hair giving curly look. I was glad that I had brought some extra clothes; I picked the perfect outfit and went downstairs. My mom was already there talking to Alice, they both looked very beautiful, Alice was wearing a short black tight dress, and my mom was wearing tight black jeans with a red strapless top and a black jacket, as I looked at them something hit my mind, what if they were drinking again and doing that naked contest? What would my mom think? This would be the first time she was going to see Edward after knowing we were together, I couldn't let anything spoil that moment. The door bell rang to let us know that Esme and Rose were already outside, we got the deserts they had prepared and we went outside. I got inside my car and I decided to text Edward to let them know we were coming. I thought I was the best thing, you know what is usually said, better be safe than sorrow.
"We are ALL on our way to surprise you guys, please look presentable."
EPOV
I felt like a new man, l felt free, like I had been trapped under a rock and someone had finally lifted the weight that was holding me back. If I had known that Renée would react this well, and how happy this would make Bella feel I would have told her myself right from the start.
All I wanted was to make Bella happy, I could imagine the beautiful smile she had on her face right now, God…I missed her so much. We hardly saw each other this week, it killed me, but I tried not to show that around Bella, part of me understood that she had to spend time with her mother, but there was this other part of me, the possessive side that wanted Bella all to myself. She was mine, only mine.
By Friday I was about to lose my mind, I almost dragged her to that paper room, the things I thought about doing to her on top of that meeting table. I need to calm down or I was never going to make until the end of the school year, a she knew that, she did everything to make me lose my resolve, the thing was, I was holding by a thread…I wanted her so much, I needed her, just like I need air or food.
"Edward, you're up bro, don't embarrass me, now."- Emmet's voice pulled me out of my thoughts and back to really at the same time that my phone rang with a text message from Bella, I tried to steady myself and read it, it read:
"We are ALL on our way to surprise you guys, please look presentable."
"Damn."- I looked around the room and to myself; we were far from looking presentable. I tried to move, but my body was not responding as fast as it should. The door bell rang and I froze; Bella was going to be so mad...
Ok, so Renée finally knows...actually she knew it already :) I hope you liked that mom and daughter talk.
Now...I wonder what are the guys doing? Will Bella be mad at Edward?
I'm already working on the next chapter, show me your love by reviewing and I'll show you mine by posting another chapter tomorrow. Hum...that sounds a lot like blackmail. Naughty me!
