In from the Cold ~ Chapter 9
"Ooh, that's why I'm easy
I'm easy like Sunday morning
That's why I'm easy
I'm easy like Sunday morning"
I opened my eyes and wondered where the hell I was. The song on the radio alarm clock was playing way too loud. Edward stretched bedside me…Oh I was in our room, in our bed. I sighed.
"Morning Honey."
I giggled hearing his raspy sleep voice.
"What's so funny there Bella?" he asked after he yawned.
"I woke up and had no idea where I was…then you spoke…and I had no idea who you were!" I pretended to
sound casual about this idea.
Edward sat up right and smirked before he glared at me. I quickly realising his game and I was trying not to laugh.
"So…you often wake up in strange bedrooms?" he questioned like he was serious.
"Well, this is what the second or third time this week?" I yawned, shrugged my shoulders and went to sit up.
"OH no you don't you cheeky floozy you!"
Edward grabbed me and held me back down and started tickling me and nibbling my ear.
"Only yours, only in your bed and in your house!" I screamed, and giggled, snorting all at the same time.
"Wrong answer Isabella!" he retorted.
"What?" I squealed.
"This is not my house…and this is not my bed…" He whispered. "This is our house, Bella…this is our bed."
"Our house…" I sighed.
"I know why you want to keep us a secret, but Baby, I want to scream it from the roof tops, I love you, I want to live with you, I want them all to know."
"Thanksgiving next weekend, we will tell them all then!"
I smiled at Edward.
"Then two weeks after that my lease will be done and I will be here 100%, all yours!!" I laughed. Edward nodded, but I knew that he was ready to tell everyone.
"You know I am not ashamed of us, you know that I just wanted to enjoy it being just us for a little while don't you?" I was slightly nervous about what Edward wanted.
"Oh…I do, when it all gets crazy and they all get demanding, we will lock ourselves in here with just Emily & Jake and no one else will matter."
I nodded. "I love them all…I really do, but you know how they will get."
"I know, but it will be me and you together."
"They will plan our wedding, name our babies…" I suddenly stopped talking.
"What?" Edward asked.
"I didn't mean to talk about all that stuff." I mumbled.
"Why not, they will all try to plan our wedding but they are not naming our babies. I want to marry you one day, and we are having as many babies as you will let me impregnate you with!" he winked.
"Edward Cullen, that was not even the slightest bit romantic, but I love you anyway!" I laughed.
He kissed me, "I love you so much, and I will marry you!"
"I believe you!" I giggled.
"Want to get all hot and sweaty with me?" I tried to sound sexy. I guess it must have worked as Edward was now pulling me close to him, nodding eagerly at me.
"Well come with and I will get your heart racing!"
I jumped up and Edward stood up in front of the bed, I stopped suddenly, opened the top drawer on his clothes chest, pulled out a running shirt and pants and threw them at him.
"Running with me this morning Baby?" I smirked.
"OH Bella!" He fell back on the bed, sitting on the edge of the bed with the top I had thrown at him over his head. I could see he had been more than ready for me, his arousal standing tall and proud, so before he got up I threw away the clothes in that were in my hands, fell to my knees, bent my head to the side and licked him from shaft to head in one long stroke. Edward gasped and threw off the tee shirt he had been hiding under.
"Bella…what are you…ohhhh…"
I moved my hands to his hips and pulled him forward so I could hold on to him better. My hand slid round to cup his ass cheek, the other one was now at the base of his shaft as I took him in my mouth.
I was getting so aroused at the noise he was making, the feel of him in my hand and mouth. I tried to clench my legs together to get some relief from the sensations building inside me.
I moved up and down on him feeling him become harder, tasting his essence escape from him slightly.
"Bella…"He groaned. "Come up here." I stopped and looked up at him confused. Edward pushed my hair to the side so he could see my face.
"That was good, but baby…But I want to be inside you…please?" he whispered. I nodded up at him.
He shuffled himself back a little bit on the bed then offered me his hands, helping me to stand up easily, before he held onto my hips, pulling me forward so I straddled him.
I wrapped my arms around him and sat down, taking him inside me with a groan of satisfaction from both of you. "Shit, Bella, I didn't think you were ready for me Baby."
I used my knees on the mattress to push up and slowly lowered myself back onto him again. We moved together, kissing flesh we came in contact with, lips, ears, neck, shoulders…My breasts were moving against his body, this angle was so good for me… I could feel him rubbing against all the right places. All too soon I was coming, my walls contracting around Edward. His thrusts becoming faster and harder up into me, I screamed his name and he screamed mine, before he fell back onto the bed puling me down on top of him giggling and holding on tight.
"I never thought…"
"I know me neither!" he laughed.
"I was going to say I never thought I would laugh so much after sex!" I giggled.
"We as long as you are not laughing at it, we can laugh together Bella!" he laughed with me.
We cleaned up, got dressed and took the dogs for a walk in the woods. Jake ran around us all again and Emily stayed beside us as before. Edward and I walked together, his arm wrapped around my shoulder, my arm around his waist, it was cold again today but neither of us felt it.
I packed up stuff to take to the Cullen house, deciding to make small warm chocolate puddings with a melting centre that oozed out when you spooned into it for dessert.
I had taken all the cooking equipment I wanted from my old place and was loading the small pudding dishes in to the box with everything wanted to take with me.
"One more week and they will all know." I muttered.
"One more week…you have me all to yourself till then Honey." He kissed me, holding my in his hand.
"I love you." I whispered.
"I love you too…now let's go pretend!" he shook his head.
Sunday lunch at the Cullen's, I had so many good memories of going there. They were always such a comfort to me and Charlie when times were bad.
"You ready to go Love?" Edward called as he loaded up the dogs into his 4X4.
"Sorry?" I looked at him. I had not heard his question.
"Are you really this worried about them knowing Bella? I don't think it will be that bad." He pulled me against him.
"No, I was thinking about Renee." I sighed.
My mother had loved Charlie and me very much, she was great friends with Esme and Carlisle, and loved their children too. She was taken from us, suddenly in an accident. She hit black ice and the car skidded out of control.
We all missed her, I got this feeling that she would have approved of Edward and me. she always called him my 'fella' even when we were children.
Edward wrapped his arms around me tighter. "She would be so proud of the woman you have become Bella Honey."
"I miss her so much."
He nodded, he knew my story, he knew my past, and he was always going to be some part of my future. I had dreamed it would be as my love, but here it was becoming a fact.
"OK, I am ready to go see these crazy people." I sighed. "Are you sure? We can cancel if that's what you need?" Edward whispered before kissing my forehead.
"No, it will be nice to be with people who loved my Mother as much as I do."
"Have you got everything?"
I nodded. My box of kitchen things, the pudding ingredients and dog food all lay in the car. Jake & Emily sat in the back seat together looking at us, Emily waiting patiently and Jake on guard duty as always.
"I just need to get my cell phone and we are all set Honey."
I got into the car while Edward got his phone and locked up. He was speaking to his Mother to say we were just leaving.
We arrived at the Cullen's house a short while later.
Esme and Carlisle open the car doors and gave me a quiet hug. Carlisle called the dogs in and took my bags into the house. Esme handed me a huge bunch of flowers. I looked at her confused before she explained. "Edward called. You need these, take them and go to see your Mum."
I held back the tears.
"Do we have time for me to go?" I asked.
"We have all the time you need." I hugged Esme and thanked her. I loved how she always had fresh flowers in the house. She kisses my cheek and helped me back into the vehicle.
We set off to the cemetery.
No words were spoken, there was no need.
When we arrive Edward opened the door and helped me out before taking the flowers from the back seat.
He draped his arm around me and pulled me in close.
We took the short walk to my mothers resting place.
I don't come here very often, my Mother was inside me, and I thought of her every day, speaking to her as if she could hear me. There were already fresh flowers there. I was surprised at this. A huge bunch of mixed flowers that Edward told me are from his Parents. They came down here frequently to tend the grave. I never knew that. Some pale pink roses I knew were from my Father.
My mother loved pale pink roses. I saw them in his kitchen when I visited a few days ago.
He must have come after the storm passed. And a small bunch of deep pink roses. Edward moved them a little, "They are from me." He whispers.
"You came here?"
"I did. I came here the afternoon you went to make the food, taking Emily & Jake home with you."
"Why?"
"Why did I come? Or why did I choose the pink roses?"
"Both I guess?"
"I used to come here with my parents when I was home visiting the family. I wanted to take these, as their meaning is of 'Gratitude &Thank You.' And I am so thankful that you are now in my life in a way I could only have dreamed of. I am so thankful of the woman you have become; you are truly Renee's daughter."
He smiled at me. I ran over and hugged him tight.
"Thank you so much Edward."
We stood at Renee's grave and I told her all about Edward and I being in love. A soft wind blew through our hair, and I felt at peace. Something I had not ever felt here before. We cuddled up close and Edward told Renee how he was going to keep loving me, just like he always had done and more.
My tears were a mixture of missing my Mum and Loving Edward all rolled into one.
