Sorry I haven't updated in a while. Finals are coming up and the workload for school has been a lot. Not to mention all of the softball I've been playing. Seven days a week! Yikes! But school ends the 23rd, so updates should be more frequent over the summer. No promises though.

Oh, and if you are following me on Twitter, mention me, just so I know and don't block you. Also if I get enough followers on Twitter who read this story, I will try to post teasers. So it's important to let me know if you are following me.

Also, how many of you would be interested in a one-shot contest? It would be a lemony one-shot taking place during the summer. Easy enough, room to be creative. Let me know if anyone is interested. Obviously if no one is interested, it won't happen.

Okay, I'm done rambling. Enjoy the chapter!


Chapter 9: Opening Up

BPOV

I had the feeling I had been asleep for a long time without moving. That may have been because there were to arms wrapped securely around my body. Almost as if they were restraints from letting me escape.

I opened my eyes and took in my surroundings. It was Edward's room, and it was Edward's arms wrapped around my body. The memories of last night came flooding back.

Renee was here.

There had to be a reason why she would show up. It was just so strange and unnerving for her to just show up and demand custody of me. I couldn't even fathom an idea.

I looked over Edward's shoulder to peek at the alarm clock to see the time. It was ten- thirty already. And a Monday! Edward and I were completely late for school.

"Edward, Edward, wake up, we're late for school," I cried frantically, trying to shake him awake. I desperately wanted to go to school, just to escape the reality of my home life.

Edward groaned and shifted so his lips could reach my neck. He started kissing it, starting from my collar bone to just behind my ear. I shivered in pleasure.

"Bella, love, relax. Esme came in when my alarm went off, saying that that we were excused for the day, or however long we needed to sort this out. Now turn towards me so I can give you a proper good morning kiss."

I was surprised at his bluntness of wanting to kiss me, but I was going to oblige. Happily, I turned towards him so he could kiss me.

Edward gently pulled my mouth to his. The kiss started off gentle, his lips moving slightly. I, however, wanted a more passionate kiss. I needed to forget what was going on, even if it was only for a few moments.

My fingers laced into his hair, bringing him closer. Edward caught my mood immediately, knotting one of his hands in my hair, while the other went to the small of my back. His tongue traced my lip, asking for entrance. I gladly opened my mouth for him.

His tongue touched my briefly, but it was enough. I reacted and our tongues started to wrestle. When I let out a moan, Edward flipped me so I was pinned beneath him.

"Oh, Bella, I love it when you moan," he said as he moved his lips to my neck, assaulting it with open mouthed kisses.

I felt something hard and stiff poking into my thigh. Edward was enjoying himself just as much as I was.

"Edward," I moaned into his neck, trying to bring his face closer to mine for another kiss. I felt an unfamiliar fire in between my legs. "Oh, I need you!"

Edward grunted latching his lips onto mine for a fiery kiss. His hands started roaming all over my body, trying to get closer. His hands rested on my breasts, massaging them rather roughly. I was starting to pant. I moved my hands from his hair, down to his ass, trying to pull him closer to the burning fire between my legs. The friction felt so good.

But when our hips bucked uncontrollably, we both pulled away.

"Sorry, that got out of hand," Edward panted, ducking his red face.

I shook my head climbing across the bed to hug him. "A little, but I still enjoyed. Actually, I enjoyed it a lot. I wouldn't mind doing it again."

Edward looked up at me, bewildered, but a sly smile on his face. "Really?"

I giggled and nodded. "Really."

"Well, we have to talk about last night before anything else. You really should talk about it."

I frowned, tears coming to my eyes. All traces of pleasure from moments before were gone.

"Just start at the beginning, love," Edward murmured. He pulled me into an embrace, wiping tears from my eyes.

I nodded and started to tell the events of the previous night...

***

After telling all that had happened, I felt relieved. All of the hurt and depresses feelings were out of my body. New feelings started to take over as I was being held by Edward, who was stroking my hair. Foreign feelings, feelings that were new to me and made me feel weak at the knees. I thought it might be love.

Love would certainly be a logical feeling that I felt. A feeling only Edward would ever get from me. The feelings I felt were far more than physical. They were mental and emotional, too. And they weren't just for Edward either. They were for Charlie, Edward's parents, Alice and Jasper, and Rosalie and Emmett. They were family and they cared for me deeply. As deeply as I did for them.

There was one problem.

I wanted to tell Edward. But I didn't know how. I was scared because what if his feelings weren't as deep. Yes, he had done loving things, such as the prom, but what if a lot of it was just lust. Like our good morning kiss.

Right now, I couldn't tell him. If he didn't return the feelings, I would be heart broken, crushed. I cared for him, loved him so deeply that I wouldn't be able to handle it if he didn't return the same feelings. I wouldn't be able to move on. And I had to much going on. The whole ordeal with Renee wanting custody. It was stressing me out and I could only take so much.

"Bella, love, what are you thinking about?" Edward inquired, pulling me from my day dream.

"Family," I murmured into his chest. I felt bad. It was only half true.

"Do you know why Renee might be here?" Edward asked.

"No, I have no idea. But I really want to know because she better have a damn good reason for making my life hell right now."

Edward chuckled, burying his face in my hair. "Oh and I don't make it any better?"

I rolled my eyes. "I would say yes, but I wouldn't want to inflate your ego."

He laughed, just as my phone started to ring.

I pulled away from Edward to see who it was. It was Charlie.

"Hey, Dad, what's up?"

"Bella, you should probably come home now. Renee decided to share the question. Why she's here."

My eyes went wide and I looked to Edward. I would take him with me. "Alright, Edward and I will be right there."

Edward looked at me skeptically.

"Okay," Charlie answered as he hung up.

"What's going on?" Edward asked nervously.

"Well, you and I are going to my house. Renee decided to spill why she's here."
