Thank you so, so, so much for your reviews, you always make my day so special, here is the next chapter, I hope you love it.
BPOV
I opened my slowly, the room was dark, with only a dim light coming from the shades, I stretched and turned around, Edward wasn't there. I got up and went to the bathroom, I washed my face, brushed my teeth and combed my hair and went to find Edward.
I followed the sound of his voice to his den, where he was sitting behind the desk on the phone, he lifted his hand for me to stop and pointed to the desk to a stash of papers that I immediately recognized, it were my classes assignments that he was grading.
I took a step back and looked away.
"I'm glad you like them… No I haven't changed my mind…even so…I like my privacy…I don't care about that…ok…I'll talk to you soon. Bye."- He hung up and smiled.-"Sorry…"- He said as he put the papers in a drawer.-"Did I wake you?"
"No."
"Good…now come here and give me a proper good morning."- He said opening his arms to me and I ran to him and kissed him.-"Hum…now that's the right way to start the day."- He said before he kissed me again.
"What time is it?"- I said noticing the sun shining through the window.
"Almost eleven."
"Really? Wow, I usually don't sleep this late. What time did you wake up?"
"Around nine thirty. I still have a few papers to grade before we go on the trip. I kind of got behind last…"- He stopped not wanting to talk about those dark few days.-"Never mind."- He said kissing me again.
"Are those fishing rod's brochures?"- I asked looking at his desk and he kind of blushed, which was so cute.-"You like to fish?"- I asked surprised.
"No, but your dad does. This is for research."- He was preparing himself to meet my dad; I couldn't believe.-"I want to be able to have a conversation with him, when I meet him."
"Edward, I'm not sure if you should meet my dad."- He looked deep into my eyes.
"Why?"
"I don't know…he is kind of complicated."
"I know, and you don't have to introduce me as your boyfriend."- He said with sadness in his eyes.-"I know how awkward that would be for you."
"Edward I'm not worried about me, I'm worried for you. My dad could overreact and…I don't even what to think about that."
"I understand."- I studied his face, deep down I could see he was sad, but how can you tell you over protective father that your boyfriend is a twenty four year old guy and that he is also your teacher? I didn't know what to do.-"Do you want to hear something really awesome?"- He said trying to distract me from my thoughts.
"Sure."
"I'm going to publish two more books and my first two will be turned into movies."
"That's great. You deserve it, your books are amazing."- He smiled.
"You want to know the awesome part?"
"I thought that was it?"
"No…the the awesome part is that the new books are inspired by you."- My mouth dropped in surprise and he smiled.-"I wrote them on that night, their product of my mind overload."
"You wrote two books in one night?"- Was that even possible?
"Well, the main part. I improved them over the following days; I wanted to finish them for you."
"Oh…Edward I don't know what to say…"- He was blowing me away again, how could I ever reciprocate all the things that he gave me.-"It's too much…I have nothing special to give to you."- I said with tears in my eyes.
"Oh…that's not true. You already give me so much, just by being, just by loving me."- He said kissing me deeply and slowly making me forget my own name.-"And you will give me something so much more meaningful t, when the time is right."- He kissed me again.-"That is the most special present a woman can give to a man."- Was he talking about my virginity?
"Are you talking about my…"
"Yes."
"That's not much of a present."- He cupped my face with his hands and looked into my eyes seriously.
"Bella, it will be a tremendous honor to be the first man to ever make love to you, and if it depends on me, I want to be the only man whoever does."- God, there he was again talking about being with me forever that was so unbelievable. I felt exactly the same but I just had to teasing him a little bit.
"So are you saying I can't have sex with other man? Crap! Maybe I should rethink this."- The look on his face made me immediately regret saying that, I saw panic, shock, despair, sadness and pain, he opened his mouth to speak but nothing came out.-"I was joking, Edward."
"What?"
"It was joke…I'm sorry I never thought you would react like this."- He looked at me, relief spread across his face.
"A joke?"- He closed his eyes trying to calm himself; I could tell he was really mad.-"I can't believe it, you…you…evil…beautiful…irresistible creature. You are so paying for this."- He said lifting me in his arms and holding me in a way I couldn't move.
"No, not the pool again."- I shouted.
"The pool is too far away."- He said walking towards his bedroom.
"I'm sorry…I was joking."
"No, there is no apology big enough to erase what went through my mind."- He said with a serious tone, and I had no idea if he was really mad or just playing with me.
"I'm sorry…you know you're the only one for me…I don't want anyone else."- I said trying to get out of his grip with no success.
"Nice try."- He said kicking the bathroom door open and heading for huge the shower enclosure. This looked promising we could both easily fit in there, hum…
"What are you doing? Edward, I said I was sorry."- He put me down and pushed me inside the shower holding me with one hand and smiling wickedly as he turned on the water, cold water. I screamed feeling the cold as the water hit by body.
"Now is there anything else you want to joke about?"- He said laughing and I shook my head trembling.
"N..n..no…I'm s…so…rry."- I said trembling.-"I…lo…ve you…only you. I…I'm on..ly yours."-He looked deep in my eyes and turned the water to hot and my body stopped trembling as it adjusted to the warm water.
"Say it again."- He demanded seriously.
"Edward, I'm so sorry, I'm only yours, and you're the only one for me. I'll never want anyone else, there's only you."- His lips crushed mine in desperate need; he pushed me against the wall grinding me with his body, while the water fell on both of us. God! This was hot.
"Never, ever say something like that again."- He said with uneven breaths.-"You are mine, only mine."- He said not to me, but more to himself and he kissed me again.
"I won't, I'm sorry."- His lips met mine again in the same desperate way. I never thought he would react like that, I was feeling so guilty-"Please forgive me…I'm so sorry."- He smiled against my lips.
"I know you are."- He said against my lips.
"You do?"- He laughed.
"Yes, I knew it the minute you saw my reaction."- I was shocked. He knew?
"Then why all this?"- I asked and he laughed.
"You really thought I would let you out of the hook easily?"- He asked with a wicked smile.
"So this is your payback? My punishment?"- I asked smiling.
"Yep."- He said kissing me again.
"Are you sure about that? I mean, you pressing me against the wall, your lips kissing mine, you all wet and looking so delicious, we being here in the…shower together…hum…this feels more like a prize."- He looked at me smiling and his eyes roaming my wet body, filled with lust.
"It's my prize not yours."- He said kissing me again.-"You look so hot, Bella."- I looked down to my body; my pajamas were glued to my body, showing off all of my curves, including my harden nipples, where Edward eyes were stuck.-"I want you so much…"- He said before crushing my lips again, and I felt my body boil with pleasure. He pushed me against the wall kissing me hungrily, his hands gripping my body and pulling against him.
Hungrily my hands moved under his t-shirt, trying to find his skin, I needed to feel him, noticing this he quickly took his t-shirt off, maybe because he also needed to feel me. He was so beautiful, I was losing my mind. The way he was touching and kissing made me go insane, I was burning all over, panting with pleasure. His hands came under my top and I moaned against his chest as quietly as I could, because I knew he would be putting an end to this soon.
But to my surprise, he lifted me up, putting my legs around his waist.-"Maybe we should start now…"- I whispered in my ear, and bit my ear lobe, setting me on flames.
"What?"
"I want you…now."- Now? Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God! Was he serious? He pushed himself against me and I moaned loudly was our bodies touched. I was going insane.
"Do that again, please…"- I asked and he complied, pushing his hips against mine and driving over the edge.-"Oh…Edward…I want you so much…"- I said completely out of breath and he smiled against my lips and kissed me passionately. But suddenly he put me down and walked back smiling.-"What are you doing?"- He just smiled at me, and I realized what he was doing.-"Is this my punishment?"- I asked in shock, with all my emotions crashing down.
"Maybe."- He said with a husky voice, still breathing heavily. I could believe he was doing this, now I was so mad, but looking at him like this, half naked, with water dripping all over his body, and his very obvious reactions greeting me from his wet pants, made all that anger go away. I deserved this; I had been really mean to him.
"I guess I deserve this…"- I said sliding down the wall and sitting on the floor, and I just looked at him.
"No, you didn't…I'm sorry…for stopping."- He said sliding down the opposite wall and sitting down.-"I just…"
"I know…and I understand."
"You do?"
"Yes. Emmet cleared it for me."- He looked a bit surprised.
"He did."
"Don't be mad, I kind of forced him to tell me."- He laughed.
"You forced Emmet."
"Don't look so surprised…I have my ways."- He smiled.-"So I know what your reasons are, and…I get it…I liked them."
"You do?"
"Yes…it means you see a future for us, and I really like that."- He smiled.
"I was serious about what I said; I want to be the only man for you."-He said with his eyes burning with love.
"Is that a proposal?"- I asked lighting up the conversation a little bit.
"No…not yet."
"Hum…that sounds promising."- He just smiled at me.-"Come here…I want you close to me."
"Will you behave?"
"Yes."- He crawled to me in a very funny way and I laughed. He set down with his back on my chest, between my legs and rested his head on my shoulder and I put my arms around him and we stayed like this for a long time.
"Have you ever been to L.A., Bella?"- Alice asked from across the table. We had just finished lunch and had a huge map spread all over the table.
"Once with my mom, but we didn't do much site seeing, because she got this food poisoning, not a fun holiday."- They all laughed.
"In that case we should stay at least one day there."- Rosalie said.
We were planning our road trip; it was obvious after the first few minutes that I had a completely different notion of what a road trip was. For me road trip was about driving, eating in the car and sleeping at the cheapest place. But for the Cullen's it was about, sightseeing, shopping, driving fast and staying at the five star hotel closest to the highway.
Sitting here with Edward playing with my fingers felt completely surreal, because a week ago, I was crying in bed thinking I had lost him forever. It's amazing how your life can change entirely if you let yourself be guided by your insecurities and make the wring decisions.
After all that we had said, felt and did in the last few days I knew for sure that he loved me, and after yesterday I knew he would do anything to prove that to me. I smiled remembering him on that stage. He looked so hot…and he had such a beautiful voice. I had to admit to myself that in that moment when I heard all those girls screaming for him I felt so lucky that he was singing to me. To me…how that was even possible only God knew…but it was true, that amazing man loved me and I loved him. The way we had kissed last night and this morning was so intense, sometimes I thought my body would eventually burst into flames. I wanted him so much.
He had been in complete control, sometimes his hands would prove me wrong when they squeezed my butt and pulled me against him, but that was all he did. But it was enough to make me forget everything.
"What are you thinking about?"- Edward whispered in my ear sending shivers down my spine and I immediately blushed.-"You blushed…it must be good. Tell me!"
"You wish…"- I said teasing him.
"Hum is that a challenge? You know I can always make you tell me."- He said with a wicked smile.
"Are you two listening?"- Alice asked annoyed and we smiled at each other.
"Of course we were."- Edward said laughing.
"Liar."- Alice said and rolled her eyes.-"You better not be all over each other the entire trip, this is a group thing."- She said with a warning look.
"Alice, just let them be."- Rosalie said smiling.-"Their relationship is going stronger, who knows where this trip will lead them.
"Hopefully to bed."- Emmet said laughing.
"Is that all you think about? That stupid bet?"- Alice said in disgust.
"No, I also think about Rose in bed."- He said and Alice rolled her eyes.
"I was talking about leaving tomorrow night. Is that ok with you?"- Alice asked.
"Sure, I have a few things to finish for school, but I'll do it tonight."- Edward said and looked at me questionably.
"You know Edward; there are so many other interesting things to do at night, other than work."- Emmet said suggestively, before I could answer.
"What makes you so sure he hasn't done them yet?"- I asked to everyone's surprise and Edward looked at me trying to hide his laughter.
"Have you? Really?"- Emmet asked in surprise and I laughed.
"Oh my God, you did?"- Alice said.
"We can leave tomorrow, its fine with me."- I answered ignoring them.
"No, you can't do that to me."-Emmet begged.-"Did I win the bet?"- Edward just laughed.-"Edward, bro. You have to tell us."- Edward looked at me smiling.
"Yeah…that is evil."- Rosalie said.
"Just tell us who won."-Jasper said, I just sat there listening and laughing.
"How much?"- Edward asked looking into Emmet's eyes.
"Five thousand."- Edward thought for awhile and then winked at me.
"Ok, we'll tell you when we get to Forks, only if you are able to resist sex during the trip."- Their mouths dropped.
"Are you serious? No sex?"- Emmet asked in shock.
"Yes, no touching, no licking, nothing but kissing."
"No, you can't be serious."- Rosalie said.
"Oh, come on; don't tell me you are not brave enough?"- I teased them. They looked at each other in what seemed like panic and Edward laughed.
"We can make this interesting. I double your bet that you don't make it to Forks."- Edward said.-"If you do, we will tell you everything in details, but if you don't you'll just leave us alone."- My mouth dropped in surprise.
"Specific details?"- Alice said.
"Anything you want to know."- Of course there was nothing to tell them, but they didn't know that.-"So do we have a bet?"- They looked at each other but no one said a word.-"You know what? We'll just leave you to think about it."- Edward said getting up.
"That's a great idea, Edward. There are so many other interesting things to do in your bedroom, I mean in your house."- I said playing a long and Edward pulled me close to him.
"You are so right my love."- And he kissed me passionately, his hands roaming all over my body and stopping on my butt, pulling me even closer. And I heard someone gasp in surprise before we left, not turning back to see who it was.
We were laughing like crazy all the way to his house.
"Did you see the look on their faces?"- Edward said laughing.
"Do you think they'll take the bet?"- I asked trying to catch my breath.
"I don't know…it will depend on their curiosity."- We looked at each other and said at the same time.
"They'll take it."- And we both laughed, crashing on the couch.
"Yeah…but they will lose. There's no way they can be without sex, the whole trip."
"Really? But that's less than a week. We've been do it for more than a month."- He smiled and pulled me close to him.
"But we are special."- And he kissed me.
"But how will you know, they are not doing in it."- He laughed.
"Oh…I have a special science kit, we got about a year ago, because of another bet, which I won."
"Do I even want to know what the bet was?"- He grimaced.
"Better not."
After a long make out session, Edward went upstairs to finish his work and I stayed in the living room, finishing the book he had given me. I devoured the last few chapters and just like always the ending blow me way. It still amazed me how his mind worked. I could believe he had written two books in one night. I wondered what they were about and what he meant when he said I inspired them. How could I inspire two books? I was so plain and ordinary. I was anxious to read them.
My mind drifted to our trip, we would leave tomorrow afternoon, and drive to L.A. which was a six hour drive, and we would sleep there and stay for one day. The next stop would be San Francisco because I had never been there; it was also a six hour drive. We would also stay there for one day. The next stop would be Seattle, which was the longest drive because it would take us about thirteen hours to get there and we would stay there for a morning, to drive to Forks the next day which was a three hour drive.
I was excited about this trip, mostly because I would be with Edward, but it would be great to spend time with the others and get to know then better. I was also excited to see my dad; I hadn't seen him since Christmas. He had come to Phoenix to visit me.
I had no idea how that would go. Would I be able to tell him who Edward actually was? Would he accept the idea of me being with an older guy? Would he still have the stupid idea that Jacob was the one for me?
Thinking about Jacob made me a little confused and worried. I wondered where he was. He hadn't call, or texted me after what happened. Would he hate? Could I let him hate me?
We had been friends for so long, how did thing get so bad between us? I knew the answer for that, he got fixated on being my boyfriend, and I wasn't interested. I was pulled out of my thoughts by a text for Alice, it read.
"Don't bother to go home and pack; I already have your suitcase ready. And don't worry about your mom, she'll be at the family lunch tomorrow and you can say goodbye to her there."
I couldn't believe, she had packed for me? Why would she do that? Was I so incapable of getting my own clothes?
"You need to stop doing that! I could have packed myself."- I texted her back.
"Shush... you have no idea about the places we are staying in so just trust me, ok? By the way, I really hate you and Edward right now!"- She texted back and I laughed.
"You hate me? Why?"- I teased her back.
"WHY? You even have to ask? I can't believe you would leave me like this, burning with curiosity. And that bet? God…I hate you both."- She texted back making laugh again.
"No you don't…you love us and we love you! See tomorrow."- I texted her back.
"Bah!"- Was the answer I got.
I turned on the TV on a music channel, went to the kitchen and looked in Edward fridge to find something to do for dinner, his fridge was full, not the kind of thing you would expect from a single man. I took out all the ingredients for pizza and started to get diner ready.
EPOV
I heard the music playing downstairs, I was about done with the things I needed to do for school, and in a few minutes I would be free to enjoy my girlfriend. I had been a little cruel to her this morning, I knew she had forgiven me, but still I wanted to apologize. If she only knew the shock I got when I hear her words. It was like my life was crumbling down. I my brain wasn´t able to process that kind of thought. She was mine; I needed her desperately in my life.
The moment in the shower was amazing, I felt more and more in control each time we were that close. It was not like I was getting immune to her, no that would be utterly impossible. It was more of a resistance empowerment. I could really explain it. But I did wondered how far could I pushed it and if deep down I wasn't just fooling myself, and one day would come the walls of my resistance would crumble and I wouldn't be able to stop.
Not that really worried me, I knew she wanted that as badly as I did, and it would be so easy to just let go and take her. But I needed to do the right thing.
I pushed those thoughts away and focused on the rest of my work and fifteen minutes later I was done. I send all the information to Principle Clapp and turned off my lap top.
I went downstairs and what I saw made my heart swell with happiness. Bella was cooking for me. Just seeing her like that on my kitchen made me the happiest man on the planet. I could almost see my future with her, coming home every day to her, sleeping and waking up with her, fighting over who would be cooking, and making up on the kitchen counter. Hum…I had so to look forward to, sometime I wished there was a button I could push to speed things, so that I could wake up and school was over.
I leaned against the wall and just watched her with delight. She was so beautiful in everything she did.
"How long have you been there?"- She asked after seeing me.
"For a while."- She looked at me with a puzzled look.-"You looked so beautiful, that I didn't want to disturbed an image so perfect."- Her cheeks got stained in a cute blush.-"So what's for dinner?"- I asked walking to her.
"Pizza."
"Hum…that sounds delicious. Can I help?"- I said standing behind her.
"Sure."- She had everything almost done; the only thing missing was the toping. I smiled remembering how intense the last time we had done this was.
"Do you remember the last time we did this?"- I said whispering in her ear, and she shivered in response. I was always amazed about how intensely she reacted to me.
"Yes…"- She said softly and I got closer to her, and I immediately felt that electric powerful connection we had.-"Do think we will feel this after?"
"After?"- I knew what she meant I just wanted to make her say it because she would probably blush, and I just loved that.
"After we make love. Maybe this intensity is just our desire to be with each other."- Could she be right? I never actually thought about that.
"I don't think it will stop, I think it will intensify."
"Intensify? Wow…you know what that will mean, right?"
"What might that be?"- I asked putting my arms around her waist.
"We will be all over each other, all the time."- My body instinctively reacted has my mind got filled with images of her words.
"Hum…that sounds really awesome."- She laughed and we continued to work on our dinner, enjoying that connection.
Dinner was wonderful; we talked a lot about the trip. I could feel she was a little worried about all the luxury hotels Alice and Rosalie had chosen, but she would love it.
"When do you want to go home and pack your suitcase?"- I asked her after we finished loading the dish washer.
"I don't, apparently Alice already has my suitcase ready."- My sister could be so overwhelming.
"Are you ok with that? You don't have to do things her way."- I said pulling her to me.
"I really don't care, and this means I don't need to go home. I can just stay here."- She said with a wide smile.
"In that case I should thank my sister."- She laughed.
"She said she hated us for making her burn with curiosity."- I knew Alice really well and she would be going crazy not knowing if Bella and I had actually had sex.
"I bet she is turning green, right now."- I said and we both laughed.
"So…what do you want to do tonight?"- She asked and I felt this was the right time to apologize.
"Bella, I owe you an apology, for what happened in the shower. That was wrong."- She studied my face and then smiled.
"Baby, you can wrong me like that anytime you want."
"What did you call me?"- I asked in surprise.
"Baby, why you don't like it?"- Like it? I loved it and before I knew it my lips were touching hers in a passionate kiss.-"Hum…you do like."- She said smiling against my lips and we kissed again.
We watched a movie and played some pool, well actually I played while she laughed trying. I tried to teach how to do it right, but that lead to another intense make session, with Bella on top of the pool table. I was extremely hot.
We went to my room and she helped me pack and everything lead to kissing each other. After my suitcase was ready we went to bed and talked for hours about her father. I wanted to get all the information I could about him.
She woke me up with breakfast in bed, I could definitely get used to that. We got ready and went to my parent's house.
The family lunch was great, Renée join us which made our relation even more official. It was great to see Bella with my family; my parents loved her, and acted like those dark days never happened. Looking around the table, I once again saw how amazing our future together could be. I could almost see us here in a few years with a bunch of kids running around.
To my surprise Alice, Emmet, Jasper and Rosalie took my bet, which I knew I would easily win. Good thing I had packed my science kit. This would make the trip so much better.
The time for our trip to begin was here, I got Bella's suitcase from Alice's Porsche and put it in my Vanquish. We were now saying goodbye to our parents.
"Call me, ok?"- Renée said to Bella while hugging, she looked at me and said:-"Take good care of her."
"I will don't worry and if she doesn't call you I will."- I said putting on my best Cullen smile.
"Thank you."- She said.
"Be careful on the road."- My mom said, hugging us both.
"Yes, no more than five tickets please."- My dad said smiling.
"Five tickets?"- Renée asked in shock.
"I'll tell all about it later."- My mom told her.
We got on the car, and I started it, I could feel Bella's eyes on me.
"Ready to go?"- I asked her.
"Yes."- That was all I needed to hear and I drove away in my precious possession, with the woman I loved by my side.
I hoped you liked it, next chapter will be the road trip to Forks; I might divide it in two chapters so it does get too long. So do you think the others will be strong enough not to have sex until they reach Forks? Let me know what you think, please review.
