Last time...
My world was right, and I knew Will and I were going to be good. I managed to whisper an "I Love you Will" before I fell asleep, Will still reading to me.
I had happy dreams that night.
BPOV
I awoke feeling rested like I haven't felt in years. I have never really been a sound sleeper usually tossing and turning. But I woke up this morning in the exact position I remembered falling asleep in, my head on Wills chest with my leg curled over him. I just lay there, letting the quiet peace wash over me listening to Wills heat beat.
"You slept like the dead last night" Will said quietly and started to stroke my hair.
"I know, I don't think I have ever slept that deeply before" I answered him, turning to kiss his chest. "I hope I didn't bother your sleep, clinging on to you like I did.'
"Nonsense, I have never had a better night then being able to hold you in my arms all-night long,"
"Well then, If that's the case we will just have to see if we can manage it again wont we," I said kissing my way up his chest to his lips. "I wish we could be Irresponsible and just skip work and school today, spend the whole day in bed together." I said kissing paths along his face.
"Mmmm, nothing sounds better," he groaned, "And I wish I could but we both know I can't. I could get Carlisle to excuse you though if you want?"
"Pff, what good is staying home in bed all day if you're not beside me, no I'll go to class, at least there I'll be close to you and daydream about naughty scenario's where we run into each other between classes and you take advantage of me." I said sitting up and smiling.
"Ugh, Bella you must be trying to kill me, now I'm going to have that thought running around my head all day."
"Good, as you should" I laughed.
"You know... I never did get to punish you my naughty little school girl." He said with a mischievous look in his eyes.
"Nope, and you're not going to now either, if you're a bad headmaster and forget to lock the door then you must deal with the consequences." I said sliding off the bed and heading to the bathroom.
"Can I at least join you in the shower?" he asked
"Nope I'm going to have to rush for me not to be late to class as it is, I can't have you distracting me." I smiled back at him and then shutting the bathroom door.
I had a quick shower, then decided it would take too long to blow-dry my hair so I just towel dried it and put it up into a messy bun. I walked into our bedroom and sitting on the bed was a tray with orange juice, toast and some bacon. Will was such a sweetheart. I turned and started to get my underwear on when I felt arms come around my waist pulling me into a strong chest.
"Mmm, you're beautiful, I will be thinking of you just as you are now all day long you know." Will whispered into my ear before softly biting it.
"Really, well I guess I should have been more thoughtful and put something with lace on instead of plain old cotton boy shorts" I said while searching through my drawer for the matching bra.
"Who needs lace, it is you that makes them sexy not the other way around" Will said giving me a light tap on the ass, "I'm going to have a shower, a cold one thanks to you, you tease, eat up before you go, and drive carefully."
"Will do babe, Thanks for breakfast and see you at 7 k" I called back to him.
I finished getting ready and quickly ate the food before grabbing my school bag and leaving, before I left though I snuck into the bathroom and wrote 'missing you already XOXO B' onto the steamed up mirror.
School was long a tedious and when I got to my last class of the day and my Professor asked me to meet her in her office, I thought I was going to die. What did I do now, I thought I had this class down no problem, I'd had this Prof twice now already and she's never asked me to stay behind before. I gave her a few moments head start and then made my way to her office.
I knocked
"Bella, please do come in and take a seat" Professor Roberts said happily, at least she didn't sound pissed.
"I'm sorry professor have I done something wrong?" I asked nervous and just wanting to get straight to the point.
"Oh, heavens no Bella, don't worry this is a good visit I promise." She said kindly. "Actually, I've noticed you're ahead of the class and on our introductory test you did fantastic, I was going to ask you if you wanted to just challenge the two exams for this class now, I could set up a time for you to take the exams as early as Thursday and then as long as you pass those, which I'm confident you should have no problems with, then I can give you credit for this course without you having to sit through all the lectures on something that you already know about. I was hoping, selfishly I must admit, that by doing this you would then agree to be my Teaching assistant for my two lower level English courses, they are both first year courses with a lab component and I know I could trust you to teach the right material, and grade appropriately."
"Really? I mean, I'm honoured you thought of me, and I would love to challenge those exams. What days and time would these labs be? I would be honoured to help you out as long as it is during a time that I have available." I said, I couldn't believe this.
"Well the Labs would be Mondays and Wednesdays at 12 noon, they would only be about an hour long each and I would give you an outline of what would need to be taught each day, you can teach the material however you wish as long as all the material is covered. Outside of class you would be responsible for grading the papers and any assignments you choose to assign but that can be taken home with you and done when it is most convenient for you. You will also be given credit for the work, and upon completion I would be happy to write you a letter of reference."
"I would love to! How do we proceed" I said smiling.
"Great, just what I was hoping you would say." She smiled back, and reached into her desk grabbing some papers. "Just fill these out for me and you can give them to me on Thursday before your exams. I'll file them Friday and get you all the stuff you will be needing and tell you your assigned office number for the duration of the year, although you can choose to mark at home it's policy that you have an office for such things as marking and meeting with students if need be. You can choose to provide standing office hours or else just ask them to e-mail for an appointment if they need to see you. Monday morning if you can meet with me early 11:00 if possible I will show you around, give you your outlines and keys, and your class lists."
"Wow, thank you so much for this opportunity Professor Roberts, I won't let you down, I promise." I said.
"Please call me Susan, we are working together now, no need for such formality between us. That's all for today, just make sure you're ready for Thursdays Exams and make sure to contact me if you have any further questions." She said
"Okay, thank-you again, and see you Thursday." I said getting up, I shook her hand and left her office.
I couldn't believe it, I had been asked to teach a 1st year English Lab, Thank goodness I didn't skip and stay in bed all day like I had wanted to. I had been thinking of becoming an English teacher when I finished University and this kind of thing on my resume was perfect.
I stopped by the store on my way home, I couldn't wait to tell Will about this, and I wanted to make something special for dinner, grab a bottle of wine and celebrate.
I made my way into the store, trying to think of what to make, besides celebrating my new opportunity I wanted to thank Will for taking such good care of me last night. He would never know how easily I could have fallen apart by the revelation yesterday but I sure did. I finally settled on shepherd's pie, one of his favourites and something we had eaten a lot of in Britain. I grabbed stuff for a simple garden salad and a nice bottle of pinot noir our favourite wine. Since we were celebrating I grabbed stuff to make strawberry shortcake for dessert.
I paid for the groceries and made my way home, I started on dinner with music playing in the background, I loved singing along to the music when nobody was home, I would get right into it and nobody would be the wiser that I really can't sing and usually don't know all of the words either.
When there was only about 15 minutes left until Will was supposed to get home, I ran to our bedroom and stripped, changing my underwear for a pair of black lace boy short panties instead, then leaving off everything else I put my apron back on and headed back into the kitchen to finish the dessert, turning the music down and to something more romantic on my way. I was just pulling the shepherd's pie out of the oven to put on the table when will walked in.
"Bella honey, I'm home" he called from down the hall.
"In the Kitchen Babe" I called back while I went to grab the bottle of wine and the bottle opener.
"Hey how was your..... Bella I swear you're trying to kill me by looking so good."
I giggle, I just couldn't help it, "Well I could go put some clothes back on, it would only take a moment."
"Don't you dare, at least like this I would die a happy man." He said smiling and coming up to give me a kiss, "not that I'm complaining, because believe me I'm not, but what's all this for?" he asked.
"You make it sound like I never cook for you," I said.
"No your cooking is always wonderful, you know that, in fact I should probably try to help you out a bit more and give you a brake, but the music, the wine, the outfit." He said each thing bringing himself closer to me.
"Well I wanted to thank-you for taking such good care of me last night, and apologise for the teasing this morning," I said smiling, "Plus I have some news to celebrate."
"Teasing me this morning, what about you teasing me now in that outfit," he said. "What news?"
"This isn't teasing baby, if you behave yourself through dinner then you can unwrap me and we can play all you want," I said," As to the news, it's a couple things actually."
"Well?" he said sitting down at the table, "don't keep me in suspense tell me the news."
"Okay, well first, Professor Roberts asked to see me in her office today after class, at first I was worried, but when I sat down with her it turns out that she wanted to offer me the chance to challenge the exams for her class so that as of the end of this Thursday, assuming I pass them that is, I will get the credit for her class but not have to attend all her lecture so I'll be finished that class." I explained
"Bella, that's great! Do you know how rare it is for a professor to give you that option? You should be so proud of yourself honey, and it will give you so much more time to focus on your other classes." Will said
"See that's the other bit of news actually, She has asked me to be her TA for two of her 1st year English classes, Mondays and Wednesdays, So I'll actually be more busy with two labs a week and marking assignments and such, but I'll get extra credit and a letter of reference when I'm finished." I explained.
"Baby that's great, I'm so happy for you, A little sad we will have even more time lost between us, but we will work it all out we always do." Will said. He picked up his wine glass and held it in the air. "To my amazing Fiancé and her new opportunity"
We drank to it, and settled down to eating.
"So when I got home I took a look at my transcripts and graduation requirements, and since I took a full load during the summer session my first year, and this extra credit now, if I take two courses this summer instead of talking it off, I will be able to graduate early." I told him, wanting to know what he thought about the Idea.
"Really? Is that what you want Bella, no brake in between such a heavy year. I mean it would be nice having you graduated but I don't want you to burn yourself out overworking yourself." Will said.
"I know it will be hard, and I can't say I'm particularly looking forward to it either, but I was thinking if I do this then we can get married faster. The University is always asking you to stay on for summer session, and if you wanted too, you could work part-time while I'm going to school, and then I'll graduate and focus on setting up the wedding. After you're done teaching first semester next year we will get married and enough time will have passed between me graduating that as far as the school ever has to know we could have met again and just married fast. And you could take the second semester off for the honeymoon, and some downtime." I suggested shyly not knowing if he would like the Idea, I was after all suggesting he take no vacation this summer either.
"You really have thought this all through haven't you?" He asked, "I will do anything if it means you will be my wife sooner. As long as you don't think it will be too much for you to do, then it makes no difference to me when I work and when I take time off. Actually I think this is a wonderful plan."
"Good then its settled," I said, "I know it's going to be hard at first, but we'll get through it."
"that we will love." He said grabbing my hand and squeezing it. "So this means that this time next year you'll be out of school and planning our wedding?" he asked
"It does." I smiled back
We finished eating and I served up dessert. I was still eating when Will began to clean up, loading the dishwasher and putting stuff away. "Babe let me get that stuff," I said to him
"You cooked, the least I can do is clean it up," he responded.
I finished my desert and took him my plate and helped him with the last of the food.
When we finished he turned to me, " Bella would you say I behaved properly during dinner?" he asked smirking
"Yes, Babe I would why?" I asked
"Well I was just wondering if I was allowed to open my present now?" he asked still smirking
"Well...."I said thinking out loud, " I don't know...."
"Bella..."
"If you can catch me!" I yelled, turning and running towards our bedroom. He got to me just before the bed, picking me up and tossing me on the bed. He was on me in seconds and I squirmed just to make it fun. He pinned my hands above my head and kissed me. When I settled down he transferred my hands so that he could pin them with only one hand, and using his newly freed hand brought it down slowly along my bare skin tickling me. He found his way to the tie at the back and slowly undid the knot, bringing the apron up and over my head, leaving me in nothing more than my black lace panties.
His hands were all over me then in a flurry. Tonight was about passion, about need, and he planned to take me, to use me. There would be no love making tonight. In seconds I was naked.
He was in a hurry but as always, even rushed he
never forgot my needs. He used his hands bringing me to the edge before he pulled away, he was paying me back for teasing him earlier, well, two could play that game. I worked my way down his perfect body and took him in my mouth, working him hard just the way he liked it; I could feel him tense and knew he was close so I pulled away kissing my way back up his body. I thought I had won but when he pinned my hips to the bed and brought his mouth to me I knew that tonight I was out of my league, and he knew it to, he worked me good and in the seconds before I was about to come he pulled up and entered me fast and hard. He didn't let up for one minute and my pleasure just kept building, up past what I thought was possible, and then I came, and the force of my orgasm brought me his in return. I swear in that second I was seeing stars, it was like something bigger then ourselves had just occurred.
We lay together for a couple of minutes just trying to find our bearings and out breath. He rolled over bringing me with him, holding me tightly to his chest.
"Stay with me, Let me old you, let me feel your heartbeat?" He asked
"Forever" I told him and laid my cheek on his chest to do the same to him.
