The Truth
Chapter 16 – Caught
I woke up with a very wonderful sight. My boyfriend's handsome face. His long lashes, which I envy because his are longer than mine, his pink cheeks because of the cold and his lips that are slightly parted.
I noticed that I'm still clinging to him and his scent is overflowing me.
But we need to get up. Even though we could just stay here, we really need to go home. I'm sure that our parents are really worried right now.
"Wake up, Edward," I whispered in his ear.
He slowly opened his eyes. I was struck by his emerald orbs.
"Good morning," he said while giving my lips a soft kiss.
I caressed his cold cheeks, trying to bring heat to them. He relaxed at my touch and he closed his eyes again.
"Don't sleep, we need to go home," I mumbled.
"Try your phone, there must be a signal now," he said lazily.
I removed my hands from his cheeks and I sat up.
He stood up and he lit the fireplace again, since it was getting very cold.
I took my phone out of my pocket. Gladly, there is signal already.
I immediately called Dad.
When he answered it I put the phone in loudspeaker so Edward could hear.
"BELLA! Where are you? We found Edward's car at Port Angeles. A man was driving it, he is in jail already. We went to the cemetery but you are not there. Where did you two go? Everyone here is worried."
I breathed in. Okay, I can do this.
"Dad, we're at the chapel across the cemetery. We stayed there because we can't go home since Edward's car was stolen. I tried to call, but there's no signal, maybe there was a problem with the network. Please pick us up now. We're running out of logs for the fireplace, and its freezing."
"We're coming, just say there," he said before hanging up his phone.
"They've got my Volvo," Edward keeps mentioning to himself, as if he cannot believe that it happened.
"Yeah, and we're going home!" I said cheerfully.
We tidied up the place then we went out in front of the chapel and waited for Dad.
Ten minutes later, he was there.
He is driving Rose's BMW. I know he borrowed that because there is a heater.
We rushed inside the car.
I removed my scarf and my coat since it's not that cold inside.
"Dad, I'm sorry for making you worried," I said softly.
"Me too," I heard Edward mumbled.
Dad has a calm expression, but he looks tired. He looks like he hasn't slept.
"No, no need to be sorry because that's an accident, nobody expected that, that would happen," he said, and then he yawned.
I hope that's also what he says when he finds out about me and Edward; I hope he is as calm as that. I hope he doesn't shoot Edward.
When we arrived, we were welcomed by warm hugs. Aunt Liza and Esme were crying, which made me cry too.
They've really accepted me to their family.
"I couldn't afford to lose another daughter again," she cried as she hugged me tightly.
I rubbed her back.
"I'm okay, Ma," I whispered to her.
She gently pushed me so she could see my face.
"What did you just call me?" She is smiling now while still crying.
"Ma? It just kinda slip, and you're my father's wife. I've been thinking of that lately...but if you don't like it..." I shyly said.
She pulled me into a hug again.
"No, I love it. I love you Bella," she said through my shoulder.
"I love you too!" I said happily.
A few more moments, we all went inside since it's getting really cold outside.
Esme, A—Ma, and I cooked breakfast together.
I baked chocolate chip cookies and croissants. Esme made creamy mushroom soup and fruit bowls for everyone. And Ma made her freshly squeezed orange juice and hot chocolate.
We were not yet done placing the food on the table when Emmett came.
He grabbed one cookie from the basket and stuffed it inside his mouth.
He moaned. "THIS IS SO GOOD!" He exclaimed. I'm sure the whole house heard it.
"Thank you." I laughed at his actions.
Soon, the whole family is eating in the dining room. They keep complimenting on the food.
"I'll be fat if the food is always like this," Rose said before munching the croissant.
We all laughed and we continued eating.
...
Time is fast when you are happy.
We are planning to spend our days at the Cullen mansion until New Year.
Edward and I would pretend to be brothers and sisters at the day and we would sneak up by night.
It's New Year's Eve today. We were all busy. The boys were going for a last minute shopping to buy fireworks.
We, girls were cooking the foods to be eaten later.
When we were done cooking, we prepared for the night's celebration.
Alice and Rose tortured me with a small make over. Alice made me wear clothes that I did not want to wear, a red shirt with cardigan and white frilly skirt that just reaches above my knees.
Rose made my hair and make-up, and it was pretty. Simple but beautiful.
...
"Edward, we need to go down now. They'll be suspecting us," I said against his lips.
"No, not yet. A few more minutes." He kissed me passionately and all my worries and protests jumped off the window.
My hands are in the hem of his shirt and I didn't notice that I was pulling it up. And soon it was gone.
His hands were all over me, while mine are rested on his hair.
We were carried away. We didn't care about the outside world. For once we didn't care about the possibility that we could get caught.
And then we were brought back to the real world when the door busted open.
"Oh my God!"
We were caught.
Who caught them? LOL :))
Another question, what do you want to happen with this story?
I am planning to start a new story, here's the plot and tell me what you think about it...
