First of all I want to thank you all for your concern and for all you messages. I guess you are all wondering what is happening and why I haven't updated like I used to, but unfortunately I've been working too much and don't have a lot of free time. But I'm having a few days off work next week so I hope to get a few more chapters done.
Thank you so much for your last reviews, you are absolutely awesome and thank you for being so patient.
We had an early dinner and we all relaxed around the table after an exhausting day and went to bed early cause the next day we would have a fishing trip with Charlie, my future father in law.
BPOV
I woke up with a loud banging on the door, but I felt so tired that I couldn't move. The noise kept going and going. I could feel Edward moving next to me, but he didn't get up instead he just pulled me closer to him.
"Since you don't get up, I'm coming in."- I heard Alice's voice.-"You need to get up, Charlie is waiting for us."- She said and that really got my attention.-"I got a surprise."- She said happily.
Who could be so cheerfully so early in the morning, it was still dark. I opened my eyes slowly and sat on the bed to find Alice smiling at me holding some clothes in a hanger and a box.
"What's that?"- I asked in disbelieve.
"Well, since we have to go fishing it doesn't mean we can't do it with style."- She said beaming.-"I'm sure these will fit you."- She said putting everything on top of the bed.-"Now get your butts out of the bed, breakfast is almost ready."- She said before exiting the room.
Edward's arms pulled me back to the bed, and started to kiss my neck.
"Good morning Mr. Cullen."- I said smiling.
"Hummm…"- He hummed against my skin.-"Why do you always smell so good."- He whispered in my ear making me shiver.
"It must be a gift."- I said giggling. He kept kissing me up and down my neck until our lips met and he kissed me gently.-"We need to get up, and meet my dad."- I said, but he just kept kissing my neck and his hands were caressing my body.-"Edward..."- I said starting to feel my body boil with desire.
"No, not right now, I want you too much."- Oh, God…This was going to be hard…wait it already was, if you know what I mean.
"Edward…we need to go, you don't want to be late and cause a bad impression, do you?"- That, made him stop immediately.
"You're right."- He said letting me go.-"Go get ready first."- He said.
"Don't you want to join me?"- I asked and he let out a loud sigh.
"Not the best idea right now, you go ahead."- I went to the bathroom with his words on my mind, I wonder what he meant by that.
I came out to the bedroom after my shower with a towel wrapped around me, and Edward gasped when he saw me.
"Bella, you can't just walk around here looking like that…naked under that towel. I'm not as strong as you think…and you…you just look so hot."- He said and in no time he had his arms around me pulling me to him.-"I promised you dad…you know…"- He said against my skin.-"Hum…I love the way you smell…this is getting harder by the minute."- Ok, he opened the door I had to tease him.
"Really? Hum…I thought I felt something against my thigh…"- I said and he froze. He pulled away from me and looked at me with a furious look.
"You…you…you are so paying for this later, Ms. Swan."- He said walking away from me.
"I like the sound of that."- He walked away mumbling something I couldn't understand and close the bathroom door and I had to laugh.
I look at my bed to see what Alice had left. It was a green thermal suit but instead of that ugly shaped man clothes this had tight pants with dark rubber boots that came to my knees, and a tight long sleeve thermal shirt and a tight jacket, it was all very feminine and sexy. I put everything on and I fixed my hair in a pony tail and I was ready for fishing. I looked in the mirror, I thought actually looked kind of hot. I wondered if Alice had these made just for this occasion, only someone like her to make a fishing outfit look sexy. I saw Edward's reflection in the mirror when he came out of the bathroom and his mouth dropped, I guess I really looked hot.
"Wow. Who knew fishing could look that hot."- He said with a smirk on his face, but my mind got distracted by his bare chest and the way his towel hanged so low around his waist.
He moved close to me and put his arms around of my waist pulling me close to him, he lifted my chin and kissed me gently, hardly touching me, and that send a wave of desire over my body. My hands quickly found their way around his neck and I pulled him closer to me, I needed more, a lot more. He smiled and kissed me hungrily, soon I was on the bed with Edward on top of me. -"You make me insane, Bella. You're all I think about, even at night I dream about you."- He said before taking my lips with his again.-"If you knew the kind of dreams I have about you, you would be shocked."- He said softly against my ear igniting all of my body.
"What makes you so sure? My dreams can be very graphic and realistic."- He stopped kissing my neck and moved away to look at me.
"You dream of me?"- He asked surprise and amused.
"Well, I dream of us, together, and with no boundaries between us, if you know want I mean."- His lips crushed mine with passion.
"You should go, Bella…please..."- He said laying on his back next me trying to catch his breath.
"Really, oh…I was more expecting you to ask me to come."- I said teasing him.
"Oh…God…just go!"- He said covering his face with his hands and I had to laugh.
"Ok, fine…as long as you're coming soon."- I said trying to hold my laugh.
"You are so paying for that later, young lady."- He grunted.
"You're all talk…"- I teased him before I left and heard him say something that I could understand it again.
I went downstairs and joined the others in the kitchen for breakfast. Alice and Rose were wearing similar outfits to mine but in different colors, and the men were in usual fishing clothes, that gave them a raw look. I wonder how Edward will look.
"So where is Edward?"- Emmet asked with a wicked smile.
"He is getting dressed."
"Rough night?"- He asked.
"No, it was quite slow and pleasure full."- I said and he almost shocked in his coffee and I started to laugh.
"You're getting good."- Emmet said between coughs.
"Thanks."- I said laughing.
"Remind me again, why we're doing this. It's still dark outside."- Rosalie yawned.
"We're doing this for Edward and Bella."- Alice said.
"Right."- She turned to me.-"You are so going to owe me after this and I know just the thing to ask for."- She said exchanging a knowingly look with Alice.
Edward joined us a few minutes later, and indeed he looked extremely hot, he came behind me and whispered in my ear.
"You were very mean to me."- He said and immediately my heart ached and I turned around to look at him but he wasn't mad.
"I'm sorry…I was just teasing you."- He cupped my face and kissed me gently.
"I know, but you trust me too much, Bella…and I'm afraid one day…I'm just going to…I'm not as strong as you think."- He said in my ear.
"You don't have to be…"- He held me tightly.
"I promised you dad, I'm not going to…"- My lips stopped his words, and I realized what I had done. I knew he wanted me as badly as I wanted him and I knew his reason for wanting to wait. And now with the promise he had made to my father, I knew he was going to try harder to keep it.
"I'm sorry…I won't do it again."
"I'm sorry too, for putting through this."- He said smiling but I could see the hurt in his eyes. We both wished things could be different.
"We can leave the room if you want."- Alice said, pulling us out of our own little world.
We had an amusing breakfast, talked and laughed about what we were about to do. None of us really knew a thing about fishing so this promised to be an interesting day. I packed my camera this was definitely going on our album.
The sun began to appear to my surprise, but it was still cold. We drove to the place that my dad had signaled in the map, we parked next to his cruiser and got a bunch of stuff that Edward had brought to be prepared for this fishing trip. We followed my dad's instructions and soon we were walking next to a stream and I could spot my dad talking to someone I couldn't see. I gasped when we got closer and saw Jacob there.
"Hey, Bells."- My dad greeted me and gave a menacing look at Edward.
"Edward."
"Hello, Charlie."- Edward said calmly.
"Guess who came to surprise you?"- My dad asked beaming, and I could see right through him. If he thought Jacob could take Edward's place, he was sooo wrong.
"Hi, Bella."- Jacob said smiling and I rolled my eyes in disbelieve.
"Hey."- Was all I said, I couldn't forget that he was the one responsible for everything that had happened, if it had been for him my dad would still be oblivious of my relationship with Edward.
I tried my best to put all that away in the back of my mind and have as much fun as possible, and believe me, I did.
I never knew fishing could be so tricky; it was amazing how I didn't get hurt, because every time I try to throw the line in the water the hook would get stuck in my clothes causing everyone to laugh.
I saw the surprised look my dad gave Edward when he made the perfect throw on his first attempt; Edward winked and smiled telling me it was all about physics. I took lots of pictures, I even got the perfect one, when Emmet slipped and tried to hold himself on Rosalie and they both fell on the water, it was hilarious.
And of course Jasper and Edward got competitive on who got the biggest fish, and to my surprise even my dad joined their little contest. Jacob was very quiet all though the morning but I could feel him watching me especially when I was around Edward, which it was most of the time.
We sat down under the trees to have lunch, we ate and talked and my dad would include Jacob in every conversation, he shared a lot of stories about our childhood holidays here in Forks, some Edward already knew about others were new to him. It was obvious to everyone what my dad was trying to do, but no one said a word, not even Edward.
"So how's the hand?"- Jacob asked me after we all had lunch and the others had gone back to fishing and I stayed behind to clean everything.
"Better."- I said coldly.
"Good."- He said not looking at me.
"Why are you here?"- I asked.
"Your dad invited me."
"So? Why are you here?"- He knew we would all be here.
"I wanted to apologize again."
"You've been doing that a lot lately."- I spat at him.
"I know, and I am sorry about everything. I wasn't going to tell your dad. I was just shocked and mad that you hid it from me."
"I had to Jake; you've been acting like a jerk. Where did my best friend go?"
"He seems to love you very much."- He said looking towards Edward.
"What makes you say that?"
"He came and talk to me."- He said studying my face, and I wondered if he was trying to get me mad at Edward.
"I know, he told me. You see, we don't keep things from each other."
"Bella, will you ever see me as more than a friend?"- He asked and I had to roll my eyes in disbelieve.
"I can't believe you're asking me that! How many times do I have to tell you?"- I said getting up; I started to feel my blood boil with anger. I mean how dense can he be?
"He is not the best for you."
"Oh, and you are? Who do you think you are to say that?"- I said and started to join the others I was done with this conversation but Jacob stopped me by grabbing my arm.
"He will break your heart Bella! How stupid can you be? Do you really think a man like that is going to stick around and wait for you?"
"You don't know him; just let me go, please."
"Is it because of his money? Because he apparently has loads of it."- That made me snap and I slapped him as hard as I could, forgetting my hand was still healing and a loud cry came from my mouth.
"Did you hurt her?"- Edward said coming to join us.
"We're having a conversation, do you mind?"
"Apparently Bella does."- I look at Edward and he had that same look he did when he saved me from that biker.
"You don't own her."- Jacob said.
"Jacob just go away."- I said loudly.
"What's going on here?"- My dad say, great! This was all I needed.
"Nothing Charlie, Bella and I were just talking and Mr. Cullen here didn't like it."- The lying prick. Edward took a deep breath to calm himself but I was not going to let this go.
"Actually dad, Edward came to help me because Jacob wouldn't let go of my arm and accused me of being a gold digger, and I had to slap him."- Charlie looked surprised.
"You did that?"- Charlie asked.
"I was trying to get some sense into her head."- Jacob said smiling.
"Well, she sure needs that."- My dad said and my mouth dropped and I just took Edward's hand and walked away, soon after that Jacob left and I had to admit I was happy to see him leave.
Edward was very quite after that, we all were, but fortunately the hours went by fast and it was time to leave.
"So thank you all for coming, it was fun."- My dad said when we were putting everything into the trunk of the car everything except the fish, which Charlie was happy to take home.
"It was our pleasure."- Alice said.
"I've been thinking and you know this is a very small town and people talk, so I think it is best for Bella to stay with me, if you don't mind Alice."- What? My mouth fell to my feet at the sound of his words. Alice looked at me with a surprised look.
"Well, I think you need to ask Bella that."- She finally said.
"Bella is a minor, I'm asking you because you are her boss and I know you came here to work, but she can stay with you during the day, and I'll pick her up and bring her home."
"No!"- I said loudly.
"Your father is right, Bella. You should go with him."- Edward said and I could almost hear my heart being broken into pieces. I looked at him in shock. He came close to me and said only to my ears.-"I hate the idea, but let's not give your father more reason for not wanting us together."- I felt my eyes being filled with tears.
"Are you sure?"- I asked.
"Yes, we can still spend the day together."- He said smiling, but that didn't help me feel better.
"Ok, Bella, let's go."- My dad said.
"But I don't have my things."
"It's ok, I already asked Alice and she is going to bring them by the house."
"Fine."- I said. I gave Edward a hug and he had to be the one to pull away.
"Leave your window open."- He whispered in my ear. Was he saying that he would sneak into my room? My heart started to beat again and I smiled at the thought. He kissed my forehead and got to his car.
Fifteen minutes later we were getting inside my dad's house. If he thought I would make his live easy he had another thing coming.
"You can sleep in your room, it is clean and the bed is made."- My father said.
"Fine."- I said storming up the stairs and going to my room. It looked the same as the last time I had been here, which I didn't remember when it had been.
I sat on the bed fuming, I knew my father was trying to get me to leave Edward, but that would never happen, how could I? The thought itself made my head spin.
My phone buzzed inside my pocket and I quickly got it, and sighed of relieve when I saw it was Edward.
"Hey."- I said.
"Hello, beautiful."
"I hate this."
"So do I, but this might be a good time for your dad to see how serious we are about each other."- He said.
"But I already miss you too much."- He chuckled.
"I miss you too. Bella, this is the opportunity for you to show your dad how mature you are. It was easier for Renée to except us because she knows you very well, but your dad doesn't. He only sees a seventeen year old girl; he doesn't know how special you are."- Ok I was smiling now. God! He was so wise and sweet.
"So what should I do?"
"Don't whine and be nice to him, he is only worried about you."
"I'll try… Edward?"
"Why did you ask me to keep my window open?"- I asked changing the heavy subject.
"Well…I'm not planning on leaving you alone at night and I might have seen in a satellite picture there is a tree right by a window of what I assume is your room."- He said smiling.
"Mr. Cullen, were you hacking again?"- I said.
"Maybe…so will you leave it open?"
"I'm all open for you."- I said taking the opportunity he had given me.-"Well I'm actually hoping you'll open me one day."- There was no answer, but I could hear his breathing so I waited.
"Bella…are you trying to kill me?"- He finally asked.
"No…sorry. I can't believe I did it again. You just make it so easy for me to tease you, I'm sorry."- I said trying not to laugh.
"Oh, no. There is no excuse possible. I'm just going to have to punish you later."- He said in a husky voice.
"Humm…I like the sound of that."
"You better, my love."- There was a knock on my door.
"If have to go now, I love you."
"I know, text me when the coast is clear."
"I will."- I hang up the phone and opened the door to my father.
"Bella, I know you must hate me right now, but I'm doing this for your own good."- I took a deep breath and Edward's words came to my mind.
"I don't hate you dad. I understand, you are worried about me, but my presence here won't change a thing."- He let out a loud breath.
"Bella…you're very young and…"
"Dad, I may be young and but know what I want. And even if this ends up to be a mistake, it's my mistake and it won't be the only one I make, isn't that what growing up is all about?"- He looked at me surprised.
"I guess, but some mistakes leave wounds that take a life time to heal."- I knew he was talking about him and my mom.
"Dad, I'm not Renée and Edward is not you."- I said.
"I know Bella, and your mom told me how serious you are about him, but…"
"There is not buts, dad. I'll stay here if that makes you happy, but I have a condition.
"A condition?"- He asked.
"Yes, instead of you driving me Edward will pick me up, drive me home and stay for dinner."- I said seriously, he looked at me for a long time studying me, neither of us said anything, it was like we were measuring forces.
"Fine."- He said and I was doing a victory dance inside. Maybe Edward was right and this would be a great opportunity.
I went downstairs and helped my dad get dinner ready, we ate fish of course. Alice came by after a while to bring my things. My dad, apparently like her a lot because he invited her in and talked to her.
After Alice left I said goodnight and went upstairs. I took a long shower and put on another of those sexy pajamas Alice had packed for me. This one had a tight tank top with spaghetti straps and really tight boy shorts; Edward was going to love these.
I heard my dad going to bed and waited until I could hear his snoring, man he could really snore. I locked my bedroom door and texted Edward.
The wait is finally over. I hope you enjoyed this chapter; I'm already working on the next one, so it will be posted very soon. I wonder what kind of punishment Edward has planned for Bella :)
Thank you again for caring, and please don't give up on me, I'm trying really hard to finish this story.
And as usual don't forget to review…
