Chapter Nineteen - Skanks and Satan's Panties

EPOV

In the three weeks since my parents party, life had been great. And fun. I spent all my spare time with my son, catching up on everything I had missed. Spending time with him, also meant spending time with Bella. It was great.

Things between Bella and I were amazing. We were getting on really well; even better since the party. We'd teased each other that night, and we'd continued with it since. It was fun, and I think it helped with the awkwardness. We tormented and we teased each other; things were moving along well. Really well. The attraction between us is stronger than ever.

I think she's starting to crack. And when she does, I'll be there, waiting with opened arms. In no time at all, she'll be giving in to me. And I wasn't giving up until I got her.

I brought Bella and Sammy to my place for the first time last week. Bella was impressed with my home, but thought it was much too big for someone to be living there alone. I wanted to inform her that I had a feeling she and Sammy would soon be moving in, but I didn't want to test her patience. She loved the room I'd had set up for Sammy, and was happy for me to have him a couple nights during the week.

She wasn't afraid anymore. She knew I loved my son, and that I'd never hurt him. Allowing me to take him for the night had been a big step for her. She was doing really well.

The three of us were spending the day together today. Christmas is only one week away, so we decided to take a trip to Seattle to finish up the rest of our Christmas shopping. I wanted to get Bella a great gift, but I had absolutely no idea what to get her. I'd probably have to take another trip to the city sometime before Christmas, and this time id have to take Alice with me so that she could help me find the perfect gift for Bella.

Anyway, after we finished our shopping, we had a quick bite to eat, and then went back home to Forks. I didn't have to start work for another few hours, so Bella and I spent the afternoon wrapping all the presents we'd brought and then putting them under her tree.

"I'm going out for dinner with the girls tonight," Bella told me as she stuck a red ribbon on top of one of the wrapped parcels.

"With Alice and Rose?" I asked.

"Yeah, Jess and Angela are coming too," she answered. "I'm really looking forward to it. I haven't had a girls night for ages," she explained.

"Who is Sammy staying with?" I questioned her.

"Oh, Esme and Carlisle offered to take him," Bella started. Then she started laughing. "Your mother really cracks me up. She practically begged me to let her have him for the night. I think she cried tears of joy when I told her she never has to ask to spend time with her grandson. She's funny," she smiled.

"She's been so emotional since finding out about Sammy," I grinned.

"I don't blame her," Bella giggled as she jumped up and cleaned away the remaining paper, tape and scissors. "I'm gonna make a hot drink. Do you have enough time to have one before going to work?"

I stood up and followed her into the kitchen. "Yea, I've got plenty of time".

I had all the time in the world for her.

Spending the day with Edward and Sammy had been great. We were getting closer; I knew that much. We were getting comfortable, and I liked that. While Sammy had his afternoon nap, Edward and I wrapped Christmas gifts.

Once we were done, I made us some tea. I pulled out some home-made biscuits and we sat down and chatted quietly. After we were finished, I gathered our dishes.

"Hey, I remember these," I heard Edward chuckling behind me.

I turned around, and there he was standing at my washing basket, pulling out a pair of my red lace panties. I had to laugh. I cant believe he actually remembered the panties I was wearing two years ago. But he was right though. They were the exact pair.

"Ah, Satan's panties," I reminded him with a grin as I walked up to him and snatched them away; shoving them deep back into the basket.

I moved to walk away again, but I didn't get too far. Edward had moved in behind me and had wrapped his arms around my waist.

"You really should have left them behind for me; you know, as a memento," he whispered seductively into my ear.

The thrill that ran down my spin was dizzying. I didn't know how much longer I could keep my hands off him. My breathing grew heavier, and I know, by now he had noticed. I could feel his grin against the skin of my neck, and his fingers were starting to draw circles on my hips. Then came the faint kisses at my jaw.

'You nee….need to stop tha….that right now," I stuttered.

I tried to speak clearly. I really did. But Edward now wandering hands were just too good, and I couldn't concentrate properly. My own hand was gripping his thigh, and I was digging my nails in; trying to stop myself from moving my hand up any further.

"I don't think I will," he chuckled against me cheek. "And I don't think you really want me to anyway," he was grasping my hips a little tighter now and was pulling me back against his growing erection.

He felt so good, and I couldn't help but whimper. That set him off, and he spun me around quickly, smashing his lips against mine.

I willingly kissed him back for maybe five seconds, but my senses soon came back to me. I ripped my lips away, and tried to pull myself out from his hard grip. He was holding on tight, and didn't want to let go. I had to pinch his arm to get him to release me.

"What?" he gave me a confused look as he lifted his arm and brushed the back of his hand across his lips.

"I told you not to do that," I turned away from him and busied myself at the kitchen bench.

He laughed. "I think we both know you didn't really mean it though".

Edward was right. I didn't really mean it.

"Fine. Whatever," I shrugged. I wanted off this topic right now. "Besides, its time for you to leave now; you're going to be late for work. And I still have to drop Sammy off at your parents and get ready for my night out," I explained to him.

"Bella, come on….," he started as he reached out to me, but I cut him off.

"I don't want to talk about this right now, okay Edward," I glared at him.

This time he growled. "Fine," he snarled. He spun away from me, and snatched up his coat and scarf.

He made towards the front door and threw it open. He turned to me before exiting, giving me one last evil eye. "Why don't you give me a call when you actually want to talk," and then he was gone; slamming the door behind him.

He was angry. Pissed.

Oopsie.

I pushed grumpy Edward from my mind, and declared that I was going to have a ton of fun with my friends tonight, and that I wasn't going to think of Edward at all.

Rosalie and Alice picked me up on the way, and we made our way to Port Angeles. A new restaurant had opened up and we were going there for dinner, and then later on we were heading back to Angela's for drinks. Rose was the designated driver tonight. She was happy to do it because she was still breastfeeding and would not be drinking anyway.

My mood had picked up considerably, but it had dropped quite a bit when we walked into the restaurant and I spotted Lauren at our table, perched up in her chair like king shit. What the fuck?

"What the fuck is ass face doing here?" Rosalie turned her nose up as we made our way to the table. Alice and I just looked at her and shrugged. Like we knew.

"She kind of just invited herself," Angela whispered in my ear as I sat down beside her. "I couldn't say no to her. I'm a sucker, you know that," she looked at me apologetically.

I couldn't be mad at Angela though. She was a sweet girl, and a great friend.

I managed to get through dinner without throttling the blonde bottle job. She talked about herself the whole time. It was 'Tyler this' and 'Tyler that'. Turns out things between them weren't going as great as she'd planned. Serves herself fucking right.

After dinner, she followed us back to Angela's. I almost didn't want to go. But Alice convinced me that we would have fun, regardless of Lauren's presence. And Alice was right, it was fun. For about two hours.

Miss Thing just had to go and open her mouth, didn't she?

"So Bella, you managed to rope Edward Cullen in for the rest of life. How does that make you feel?" was what she asked me.

"Pardon me?" I said. The disgust had to have been evident in my voice and on my face. Just what was this bitch accusing me of.

Lauren just laughed. Like it was a great joke. "I'm just saying that you've managed to get the one guy that nearly every woman in Forks wants," she said with a smile. But I could see the curled lip; she was being nasty. "If all we needed to do was have his kid, we would have done it a long time ago," she added.

"Lauren. Stop it," Jessica scolded.

Jess obviously knew Lauren well enough to know that she was being a cow. Alice had told me that in school Jess and Lauren had been extremely close, but once high school was over, they had drifted apart.

"It's okay Jess. Lauren can say whatever she wants to me," I smiled at my friend. "If she has an opinion about something, then she can say it. I don't care," I continued while averting my eyes towards the blonde skank.

"Bella, I'm not trying to be a bitch. I'm just saying that you got lucky. You got Edward. You won. Plain and simple," Lauren held her nose in the air.

"I wasn't aware that Edward was some prize to be won," I scoffed.

"Believe me, he was," Lauren scoffed back at me.

The four other girls were now eyeing us warily. There eyes were scooting back and forth between us. I tried not to laugh at Rose. She had this look on her face; it was the look of death. And it was meant for Lauren. It seemed I wasn't the only one who was getting pissed.

"Well, I didn't win Edward. He might be Sammy's father, but we are not together," I said. I immediately regretted saying it.

"We all wanted him in high school. And some of us got close," Lauren was smiling brightly now. "And since you dont want him, the rest of us still have a chance".

Angela stood up now. "Lauren, would you like me to take you home? I think you've had enough to drink," she said as nicely as possible.

"No, I'm good," Lauren waved her off. "We're having fun. Reliving the good times. What I wouldn't do to get another piece of Eddie," she said dreamily.

Now that got my attention. This was the first I'd ever heard about Edward and Lauren.

"Yeah right," Rose snickered. "Nothing ever happened between you and Edward," she pointed out.

"Says you," Lauren stood and went to pour herself another glass of wine. "If you must know, Edward was all over this in high school," she wiggled her body and ran her hand over her stomach.

I now officially felt ill. The thought of Edward even touching her made me want to vomit.

"I bet he'd still take a piece if I offered. Maybe I will," Lauren was now giggling like a school girl.

Like fuck she'd be getting her dirty infested paws on him. Over my dead body.

I'd had enough. I wanted out of there right this instant.

"Rose, would you mind taking me home. I think I've had enough, and I'm getting tired," I stood and gathered my things.

"Of course. I might head home too. Are you ready Alice?" Rose threw on her own coat.

Angela and Jessica walked us to the door; leaving a giggling Lauren all alone to her perverted thoughts. About Edward no doubt.

"I'm sorry she ruined our night," Angela apologised. I told them that it was fine, and gave them both a quick hug before leaving.

Alice offered to stay the night with me, but I told her that I was okay, and that she should go home to her husband. I bid the girls farewell, and headed inside.

A bottle of wine was waiting for me.

And I was ready to drink myself silly.
