Hello! Sorry this wasn't up sooner! I was away on vacation all last week. I went skiing and it was AWESOME! So you can't really blame me for not updating. I hope this chapter makes up for it though. Oh and a warning- there is a little lime in here. Hope no one minds! And lots of thanks again to my beta vampgurl15!
Enjoy the chapter!
Chapter 5: Dinners
BPOV:
"Hey Ali." I said, blushing, to Edward's twin, who was standing frozen in the doorway. I hoped that she did not just see me and Edward kissing. I could only imagine the interrogation.
"Don't you 'Ali' me I come over here because I got a call saying my best friend is sick and missed her prom, so I come over here hoping to make her feel better and have a girls day in. But when I show up said friend is on her coach kissing my brother!" Alice said all in one breathe.
"Um… Yeah I guess that pretty much sums it up." Edward replies sheepishly.
"Well I got one thing to say… IT'S ABOUT TIME!" She shouted the last part.
I looked at Edward and we both blushed, looking sheepish.
We spend the rest of the day hanging out, just the three of us, and I retold Alice what Edward did for me.
"Aw! Edward! I didn't know you could be so romantic!" Alice laughed.
"Well, now you know," he snapped back.
Alice just laughed.
"Don't worry Edward, I appreciate it," I giggled.
He just rolled his eyes, but kissed me softly. "Thank you."
I melted into the kiss, and wrapped my arms around his neck. It didn't last long for Alice cleared her throat. We broke apart, and Edward and I glared at her and she just beamed.
When Alice left, I started dinner with Edward's help. Edward was going to join us so we could tell Charlie that we are together. Then tomorrow, we were going to have dinner with Carlisle and Esme and tell them the same news. Tomorrow would definitely be easier.
We were just finishing up the spaghetti, Charlie's favorite, when he walked in.
"Hey dad." I greeted him when he was hanging up his gun holster.
"Mmm… Bells something sure smells good," he said walking into the kitchen.
"Oh, hey Edward, I didn't know you were staying for dinner," Charlie nods at Edward. "Bella, you look like you're feeling better." Charlie said.
"Yeah I am. Edward really made me feel better." I wasn't going to give him the details how. "I hope you don't mind that I invited him for dinner." I ask even though I know he loves Edward like his son.
"You know I don't Hon," he stated and sat down.
I set all of the plates and sat down.
We all ate in a comfortable silence with the normal 'How was you day?' questions.
"So dad Edward and I have something to tell you," I said, after we finished.
I grab Edward's hand, taking a deep breath. He squeezed it in encouragement.
"I already know Bells. The Cullen's and I made a bet on how long it would take for you to finally come to grips with your feelings for each other," Charlie shook his head and chuckled. "I won."
I sit there shocked. He knew? And he bet on it?
"Your okay with this?" I ask, bewildered.
"Well Bells you and Edward are both responsible kids. I trust you guys not to get in any trouble, plus I have known Edward since he was born. It's not like some strange boy is taking my little girl away." Then he turned serious and looked at Edward, "But if you hurt my little girl I will have no remorse in hurting you." He warned.
"I wouldn't have in any other war, Charlie." Edward said confidently, wrapping his arms around my waist.
"Good, well it's getting late and I'm sure Esme and Carlisle are wondering where you are," Charlie stood up and started walking into the living room. "I'm going watch the game. 'Night!" He called behind his back.
I walked Edward out the door and to his car.
"Goodnight, Edward." I smiled up at him and wrapped my arms around his neck pulling him close.
Edward leaned his head down to pressed his soft, warm lips to mine. Our lips moved together softly. After a few moments, Edward hesitantly opened his mouth and ran his tongue lightly across my lower lip. I froze, not expecting that. Edward pulled away and looked at me, his eyes swimming with guilt.
"I'm sorry, I got carried away," he whispered, sheepish.
I bit my lip. "No, no, I just wasn't expecting it. I didn't mean to give you the wrong message." Then my cheeks started to burn. "I actually rather enjoyed it."
Edward grinned, and gave me a soft kiss. "I will keep that in mind," he whispered in my ear, sending shivers down my spine.
I hid my embarrassment by rolling my eyes. "Alright, Romeo, but you need to get home. You haven't seen Carlisle and Esme since last night."
He chuckled. "Okay, goodnight. Dinner at my house tomorrow night?
"Of course!" I laughed.
Edward gave me a sweet, loving kiss before climbing into his Volvo.
"Goodnight love, see you tomorrow."
I watched him pull out of the drive way and drive around the corner. I went inside to my room and fell asleep quickly, dreaming of Edward.
***
I was driving with Edward in the Volvo to his parents house for dinner. It was a simple story. Edward and I just felt like making dinner for them.
I knew I shouldn't be nervous because Esme and Carlisle are like my second parents, but I have butterflies in my stomach flying like crazy.
Edward pulled into the long driveway, parked, and then opened my door for me.
"Thank you," I laughed, giving him a quick peck on the cheek.
He grinned that crooked smile of his that made me melt. "My pleasure."
I just rolled my eyes as we walked up the porch and into the house. Carlisle and Esme weren't home yet. We told them to stay in Port Angeles for a little while longer so Edward and I would have enough time to prepare and cook dinner. If everything went planned, it would be perfect timing.
"Bella, since you are a fabulous cook, and much better than I am, what are we cooking?"
I just shook my head. "No way. Last time you cooked with me, you dropped an oven mitt into the oven, causing it to catch on fire. There is no way you are helping me cook. But you can sit and watch."
He glared at me. "Fine. Be that way. At least I get a nice view though." He wiggled his eyebrows suggestively, but his eyes were just joking.
I laughed, but still blushed.
I got the steaks that Edward had bought out of the freezer and put them in the oven to broil. I sliced a loaf of french bread and chopped a salad as well.
I looked to Edward. "If you want to make yourself useful, could you set the table, along with the butter and salad dressing?"
"Oh, I don't know. I might light the table on fire," he said laughing, but got up anyways.
I snickered. "Hm. Hopefully not."
***
Everything was all set.
The table was set- plates, napkins, silverware, the steak, bread, salad, dressings, and butter. I poured two glasses of wine for Carlisle and Esme and two glasses of Coke for Edward and I.
Edward and I sat on the white leather couch in the living room snuggled up and talking, just waiting for his parents.
I leaned into Edward for a kiss, missing the feeling.
"Oh, you want a kiss do you?" he asked, in a tone that sounded like I wouldn't get one. "Hm, then you have to teach me to cook correctly."
I rolled my eyes, giggling. "Deal."
Edward pressed his lips to mine, gently at first, but then added more pressure. The feeling was heaven. His tongue yet again ran across my bottom lip and this time I didn't freeze. I responded.
I opened my mouth and let my tongue meet his. He groaned in response. I was excited I could make him feel this way. I pushed him so he was lying on top of the couch, and I was on top of him. His hands were on my hips and mine were tangled in his hair.
Just then the door opened, and there were gasps.
We were interrupted yet again by members of the Cullen family.
So what did you guys think? Let me know!
