Chapter. 31 Sing to me Baby.

"Bella…..Bella….you need to get up, we need to leave in thirty minutes"

"I don't want anything your offering…go away" I huffed into my pillow, he chuckled.

"Get up"

"I don't need any girl scout cookies….thanks anyway"

"UP!"

"You've reached Bella's mailbox, she is not in right now, but if you take off your pants…Ugh, no she's not in, leave a message" I grumbled, he laughed again.

"Bella!"

"I don't want any info on Jehovah witnesses I believe in Jesus and talk to him often so….go to someone else's door step".

"You now only have twenty five minutes"

"You mean you just wasted five minutes of my beauty sleep?" I asked annoyed.

"You don't need it anyway, no sleep could make you more beautiful than you already are right now" He laughed.

"Even with morning breath, and nappy hair?" I questioned innocently into the pillow.

"Even dragon's breath and medusa's hair" He agreed.

"And?"

"And what?"

"And you….?"

"And I want you to get your ass up? Yes, I want you to get your ass up" He chuckled

"Nope"

"What?"

"Lets try this again" I groaned into the pillow.

"Ok?" He said wearingly.

"And you….?"

"And I love you and want you to get your ass up, so I can fill you full of pancakes and coffee before we have to leave, and because I waited till the last possible thirty minutes to wake you up?" He said quickly.

"I would have settled for just "I love you", but….I guess I can dig it" I chirped as I flipped over onto my back.

"Ahhh, that beautiful face, I have been waiting to see it since I woke up" He smiled.

"I would say the same thing but I have crusties in my eyes, and I just woke up, so you look a little blury" I laughed.

"And there ladies and gentlemen, right there! Is THE amazing wit and loveliness, that is Isabella Swan" He laughed, as his eyes sparkled with love and excitement.

"Would you love me any other way?"

"I would love you, anyway I could get you" He said while tracing my jaw with his fingertip.

"Sure" I said rolling my eyes.

"It's true, and you now have eighteen minutes" he smirked.

"I bet I can be ready in less than ten minutes"

"I'll kiss your ass if you can get ready in ten minutes" he scoffed.

"Really?" I asked excited.

"Yes really! No woman can get ready in ten minutes" he laughed.

"Time me bitch" I smirked.

"Ok…….GO!" he yelled. I jumped out of bed sprinting to the bathroom, where I stripped down, grabbed my tooth brush off the counter and squeezed toothpaste onto it, then Jumped into the shower at the same time I was turning it on. It was cold at first which helped me go faster, so I kept it from getting any warmer than luke-warm. I brushed my teeth while wetting and rising my hair. I shampoo, conditioned, and scrubbed in record time, jumping out of the cold shower in less than five minutes. I ripped a brush through my wet locks, placing it in a messy bun at the top of my head. I ran from the bathroom butt-ass naked, with a tooth brush in my mouth to my suitcase that was in the closet ( I had it ready and packed just in case I ever had to just pick up and leave for a week, thanks to Charlie and his annoying life lessons, "always have a suitcase packed with a week worth of clothes and everything you would need, you never know Bells! Along with an extra-set of clothes, a jug of water, and a thick blanket that "should always be in your vehicle, you never know Bells! You never Know!).

I place my tooth brush in the outside zipper of the pocket, gabbed the suitcase and chucked it towards the door. Then I grabbed a pair of sweatpants, underwear, bra, tank top, and sweatshirt from my other luggage; throwing those on as fast as I could. I was hopping on one foot while trying to shove my feet into a pair of Uggs, when Anthony muttered, "Jesus Bella!"

I stood up finally, after my foot slid into the Ugg boot, smiling proudly. "How long did it take me?" I asked smugly.

"UH?….eight minutes….but you…and then….over there…..and naked….and…..then….you….uhhh h-h-how?" He asked astonished.

"Well, I have had a lot of practice! Quick showers learned from camping and showering with freezing cold river water! And when you live on a farm you learn how to get dress quickly, for when the cows or horses break through the fence, or are calving" I laughed, as he stood there in disbelief.

"Yeah, but I just….I have never seen any woman…..I mean, eight minutes" He shook his head, and then numbly pointed at my suitcase.

"Charlie" I laughed, he nodded.

"Oh"

"SO…pucker up Masen!" I laughed as I turned around and 'mooned' him, while snickering. But the next second a pair of soft wet lips were on my right butt check, causing me to squeal. And then I was yelping in pain as the same spot was bit.

"Jesus! Masen, you were supposed to kiss, not bite!"

"Couldn't help myself" he shrugged.

"Sure" I scoffed.

"Well, since you are surprisingly ready, lets go" He said as he grabbed both our suitcases. I followed him out of the door, shutting it tightly and making sure it was locked.

"So you mentioned food" I questioned while yawning.

"Can we at least make it to the car before you start talking food Isabella?" He laughed.

"Hey, food is the most important part of my day" I stated yawning again.

"Are you sure about that?" He smirked.

"Well, getting laid then food, but….You didn't mention sex so….." I yawned again, stepping out of the elevator.

"Because I actually wanted to leave today…..if I had mention anything remotely associated with sex, Charlie would think the plane crashed or something."

"True, but…..oh hell, forget it, I am too hungry and too tired to argue about sex and food…..just tell me when I get to eat Masen" I yawned once again, becoming more tired with each step through the lobby.

"Bella, Anthony, it's nice to see you….I just wanted to let you know that the Hermitage has enjoyed the time you have spent with us, and that if there is anything we can do for you while you are gone, please do not hesitate to call. Your rooms will be cleaned and stocked by the time you return. I have taken the liberty of reserving you a limo for your short trip to the airport, your flight leaves in three hours, so if you would like to stop anywhere and eat or grab some coffee just tell the driver. If there is nothing further you wish me to do for you, I would like to express my gratitude, you two have been the nicest and most agreeable guest I have ever had the chance to work with, I truly hope you two have a wonderful time in Georgia." She smiled sweetly

"Thank you Angela, that was very thoughtful. And you also have been great" Anthony smiled. Angela stuck her hand out for Anthony to shake. Instead of shaking Angela's hand he pulled her into a hug, which of course caused her to blush crimson. I began to giggle once he pulled back.

"Don't give the poor girl a heat attack Masen"

"Oh….I am so sorry Angela, I don't know what came over me…I…I don't usually-" Angela cut him off.

"Yeah you shouldn,t hit on me in front of your girlfriend" She stated with a straight face, but winked at me when Anthony wasn't looking.

"No no….that's not…I didn't mean……See what had happen was-" She cut him off, as I began to vibrate with laughter.

"I am just joking Anthony" She winked at him and he blew the air he had forgotten to exhale seconds earlier.

"Wow, Masen, showing emotions….other than in the bed room" I laughed as I slapped his arm and began laughing loudly.

"NOT FUNNY Bella!" he tried to say with a straight face, failing miserably as he began laughing with Angela and I.

"Thanks for everything Ang, you rock!" I winked at her and I pushed Anthony towards the lobby doors.

"No problem, Oh and Bella?"

"Yeah?"

"Thanks for setting me up with that Ben, he is amazing!" She sang Amazing causing me to laugh harder.

"Yeah yeah, I should start charging for my match making skills" I tried to laugh but ended up yawning.

"You need to stop yawning sweetheart"

"I cant' stop, what time is it?…. HOLY HELL!" I exclaimed the last part as I took in the darkened sky.

"It's uh…well it's.."

"It's fucking night time, that is what it is! I knew I should have bought the tickets, there is no way in hell I would have booked a flight, where I had to get up before the sun did!"

"It's four thirty Bella, it's really not that early."

"Fuck it's not"

"Be reasonable Bella" he laughed.

"Oh, I would not even go there Masen" I huffed as I climbed into the warm limo. The driver took our bags from Anthony and he climbed in beside me. The driver rolled down the divider.

"Would you like to get breakfast before we go to the airport, Mr. Masen?"

"Yes we would, is there an IHOP, on the way to the airport?"

"I believe there is" The driver laughed.

"Take me to the international house of pancakes Jeeves!" I laughed.

"You got it 'mam" He smiled back to me, playing along.

"Pardon me, would you have any grey poupon?" I asked in my best English accent.

"But of course" He laughed as he raised the divider, leaving Anthony and I alone.

"How many times do you think he is asked that a day?" I giggled.

"I am sure not enough" Anthony laughed before kissing my forehead. I yawn and snuggled down against him.

"You do know that once I am full of pancakes, I will sleep like a log on the plane right"

"You'll fall asleep next to a bum in his cardboard box right now, if I let you" he laughed.

"Your probably right" I yawned.

One "Rooty Tooty Fresh N Fruity" and five cups of coffee later, Anthony was practically rolling me back to the limo. "Are you trying to fatten me up for thanksgiving dinner?" I questioned with a mock scowl. ]

"Of course not, but I have learned, and quite quickly I might add, that you can get quite….what's the word?……mean, pouty, cranky; yes, cranky…. when you are tired. But have also learned that the world could be ending, or you could be having the worst day ever, and if you get fed, you are all lollipops and gumdrops…..kinda….most of the time, well….you know" he shrugged quickly and gave me a radiating smile, as I raised a irritated eyebrow at him.

"really?"

"Umm, oh look! We're here!" He quickly said and pointed out the window.

"Whatever! How long till we are in Georgia?" I asked as the Limo halted in front of the airport.

"Well, I was able to find a direct flight….so, just a few hours"

"And Charlie knows to pick us up?"

"No, I called Jake and HE is picking us up….he said he wanted to talk to you about something"

"JESUS! What the fuck is up with EVERYBODY! Can't I go one day! Just one fucking day!….."

"It's important Bella, just like EVERYTHING EVERBODY has to talk to you about! But NO…Bella 'wants to have some peace, Bella wants everybody to wait, Bella-" I stopped his annoying air quotes and sarcastic ranting.

"I get it, ok! I really get it….But you have to understand that I am really, really REALLY happy right now, and I know that something is going to fuck with it…..eventually…..so I want to prolong this moment as long as possible; nothing and I mean nothing, can be THAT important and life altering that I just HAVE to know about it Right NOW!" I rolled my eyes and huffed.

"I don't want to fight about this again Bella….you need to talk to Jake and you need to have a serious talk with me-" I cut him off again.

"Yeah yeah, I get it….later ok?…now get over here and give me my makeup kiss" I pouted.

"Only if you promise to talk to Jake" He countered as he walked swiftly towards me.

"Of course" I winked and then giggled as he swept me off my feet swinging me around. The busy world around us disappeared as I cupped his face with my hands and gazed into his majestic green eyes.

"I love you Isabella Swan" He said before pressing his lips to mine.

"I love you to Masen" I stated plainly as his lips left mine, and I continued to stare into his eyes. As the words left my mouth his expression changed to one of pain, but only for a brief moment; anyone else probably wouldn't have caught it. But, Anthony was my world, and his expression and words were burned into my brain as if I couldn't live without them.

"Come on, we don't want to miss our flight" he said excitedly as he pulled me towards the entrance.

"Ok, but only if I get to strip search you later" I laughed as I stumbled forward; and laughed harder as I caught the offended faces of an elderly couple. Leaving them with a simple "What?" and a shrug as I passed them.

After my belongings and my breasts where properly x-ray and "metal-detectored", Remind me to Thank Alice later, for this damnation that is a bra with an underwire! Anthony and I were safely in our first class seats. I popped my earbuds in and opened my journal. I began sketching a picture around the edges of my newly written song, trying multi-task "Take up time, and attach more of my emotions to this song…self therapy…" I thought to myself. I had sketched a picture of a little girl staring out a window on the bottom left corner. A pair of big sad eyes along the top of the page. And was filling in a grassy field next to a pond, when my right earbud was pulled out.

"What's that?" I shut my book quickly.

"Just a journal" I muttered quickly.

"Sorry I didn't realize it was private" He whispered sadly.

"It's not" I said quickly.

"Oh?"

"Well, it's just…..see I…well, that was the only thing I have written and it was…..its just a cathartic song I wrote before I arrived in Tennessee….my mother….she uh.."

"You don't owe me any explanations Bella"

"I'm not trying to…..Jeez!" I sighed exasperated. I wanted to tell him about my mother, to share my struggle with him. Only Jake knew how much her absence truly affected me, I had only been this weak sad little girl with him; and to share it with someone else was….hard. But I loved Anthony and knew that I needed to let him really know me. I took a deep breath and shut my eyes tightly. Bile rising my throat, the thought that I would be letting someone else in, someone other than my Rock, my safety net, my Jake.

"I can see it's upsetting you Bella, don't worry about it" He said gently as he smoothed out the deep 'V' forming between my eyebrows.

"No….I want to….I need to let you…ugh! Forget it!….My mother left me and Charlie when I was very little and I haven't seen or heard from her until the night before I left…..I'm going to meet her when I get back, and…..well…I wrote this song, it's everything I have wanted to tell her, or let her feel…I think I'm going to sing it to her" I was staring at the big sad eyes on the page, afraid to look into his.

"Wow Bella….that's…wow" His voice was full of awe.

"Do you…..do you want to….hear it?" I asked meekly, as I glanced at the sketch of the little girl.

"I would be honored, but you don't have to…I mean I don't want to pressure you" He stated softly.

"I think I should share it with you……for some reason" I shrugged. He grasped my hand, I leaned towards him, still avoiding his gaze; and began to softly sing.

Once I had finished I choked back a sob, by biting on my bottom lip. Anthony squeezed my hand and I finally raised my eyes to meet his. I was startled by the emotion that brimmed his bright green orbs. "That was heartbreaking, and beautiful" He whispered.

"I am not very 'good' with words, as I am sure you are aware of" He smiled at my statement.

"No, you aren't very "good", with words, but you are an amazing song writer…you are so talented Bella….why didn't you ever pursue singing?"

"I'm not that good" I blushed.

"but, you are Bella…you have no idea!"

"Your just saying that"

"Ummm, NO….you were plucked up by Mary, because you are very talented…but you are able to write such beautiful and meaningful phrases…."

"Yeah from a emotional personal place" I countered.

"That's where most song writers get their material Bella! But unlike them you can actually sing what you write, and sing it with a mature and breathtaking voice"

"Thank you" I blushed again

"You'll have to sing for me sometime…..like in front of a huge audience!" he said excitedly, I rolled my eyes.

"yeah"

"Yeah is right….it would mean the world to me…to have the love of my life sing a love song for me, it would be….be…indescribable!" He let out a big sigh.

"I know I have asked before, but are you sure your not gay?" I whispered into his ear, giggling. He is SUCH a GIRL!

"And like I have told you many times, a gay man could never do the things I do to your body" He winked, I rolled my eyes, and began to sketch on my Journal page again. After I finished the meadow, I turned to a brand new page. I Drew a heart on the top of the page first. Then I listened to my heart as new words began to fill it's page.
