Chapter 12
EPOV
She gasped and quickly grabbed something to cover up. It turned out to be a silk pajama top. She looked perfect in it.
"What do you want Edward?" she asked.
I was too flustered to think and I didn't want be around her too much longer. "Nothing. I just came to get some clothes before you went to bed."
"Don't you knock." She said looking straight into my eyes. I could see the hurt in her face. Did that mean she felt something more for me then she was letting on? Now I totally understood her reaction tonight. My heart soared. I wanted to run over there and grab her in my arms and tell her I loved her too. But I decided against it. Considering last time I ran to hug her I got dumped on my ass.
"Sorry but I didn't think you would let me in if I did." She just smirked. I still wanted to talk to her but she climbed into bed and turned her back to me. I knew that if I pushed her tonight than she would just go running home and I didn't want her to do that so I figured that it could wait until the morning.
I grabbed my stuff and went to have a shower. When I came out I could hear her crying. I went over to her. She sat up, I put my arms around her and stroked her hair. She looked up at me, "Edward am I as pretty as Tanya." "Prettier Bella." I whispered wondering why she would ask such a question.
"Then why did you kiss her tonight?" she pulled away to make sure she could see my face when I answered.
"I didn't kiss her she kissed me. What you saw was me trying to untangle myself from her arms." She smiled and laid back down on the bed. "I am so sorry you got hurt tonight Bella. I was having a really good time dancing with you." I told her. "Apology accepted."
I leaned down to kiss her and she kissed me back. I wasn't expecting her next question though. "Do I kiss better than her?" I looked at her and all I could do was nod her kiss took my breath away. "Good."
Then she grabbed a pillow and threw it at my head. "Earth to Edward." I grabbed another pillow and threw it back at her. Then she jumped up forgetting what she was wearing and hit me again. I hit her again trying to get my mind off of her outfit.
This went on for a few minutes until we collapsed on the bed together. We were breathing heavy. I turned to look at her still smiling she leaned over and kissed me. I shifted my body over top of hers but not directly on her. She tangled her hands into my hair pulling me closer to her.
I slowly pulled away from her so that she would know that I still wanted her but I didn't want to go to far to fast. She took it the wrong way when I pulled away from her. I grabbed her face and told her, "Bella its not that I don't like kissing you because I do but with what you are wearing right now I am afraid I might get carried away." She flipped me over with her on top and kissed me. I took that as a good sign. She started kissing my neck and trailing kisses down to my chest. It felt so good that I put my hands up her shirt. Her bare skin felt so silky. Our kisses heated up.
Knock knock. "Hey guys I was just checking to see….Ooops. Sorry." Alice said looking sheepish. We jumped up really quickly and pulled ourselves together.
"Way to go Bro." was Em comment he was standing at the door with her, Jazz and Rose.
"Is there something you guys wanted?" I asked. Trying to pretend that nothing was going on. They started cracking up. "Actually we came up here to get both of you. Esme and Carlisle want to talk about the rest of the summer and what our plans are." Rose said.
"Well I guess we know what you two have planned for tonight?" Emmett commented earning him a slap from Rose.
"Actually we were just having a pillow fight." Bella said.
"Hey Rose we should pillow fight like that." Emmett laughed along with everyone else.
"Hey you kids are you coming down." We all nodded. That's when Carlisle took another look at Bella and I looking a little dishelved and he noticed that our breathing was a little heavy. He looked at me with questions in his eyes. "Pillow fight." I explained as I pushed myself through everyone.
I got downstairs and sat in the chair. We have two couches and two chairs I chose one of them. I needed to think about what was happening between Bella and myself. She felt great in my arms and I didn't want to stop. I am glad we were though. I didn't want her giving herself to me because she thought she had to compete with Tanya.
I needed her to understand that I had no interest in Tanya whatsoever.
BPOV
When I got into the living room I noticed that Edward was sitting in the chair. I was a little disappointed I wanted to sit by him. I think. I knew what my feelings were for him but I don't know how he feels about me.
When he was kissing me, it felt like he really wanted to be there. But as soon as we were interrupted it seemed like he couldn't get away from me fast enough.
I was so confused.
CPOV
"Okay kids I know tonight was a little intense. And Rose I appreciate you not punching out Tanya tonight." I smiled in her direction. She nodded. "And Bella I want to thank you for at least coming home with us tonight. I don't know how I would have explained to Charlie that I left you behind in Port Angeles." She blushed.
"Anyway to get off the subject of tonight. I have rented two cabins for a couple weeks at the lake." I saw Bella's reaction. She looked so unhappy. "Don't worry Bella. I talked to Charlie on the phone today when we got home here. I asked him if would be okay if you came. He actually sounded relieved."
I knew she would feel guilty about leaving her dad, so I went to explain further. "Your dad actually rented a little cabin in a fishing resort before he got sick, he thought you were going to be in Phoenix so he was going to get away for awhile. When he called them to get a refund they said they would love too but he didn't give them enough notice so they couldn't." she nodded so I carried on.
"So to make this long story short Bella when your dad gets out of the hospital tomorrow he will be going to the airport for his little holiday with Billy and his son. And you will be coming to the cabin with us."
All the kids started shouting and laughing. I knew that the kids wouldn't want to leave Bella here unprotected especially if the last couple days were any indication of what she went through on a regular basis. I was glad she was coming.
I looked over at Edward to see his expression he looked pleased. I don't know if it was because we were going away or if it was because Bella was coming.
"Dad why did you rent two cabins. One for boys, one for girls." Emmett sounded a little upset. "now why would I let you do that you guys sleep together here so why would it change when we go away. No I rented one for the six of you with four bedrooms. And a smaller one next door for your mother and I." I winked at Esme.
"But why four bedrooms Dad with what we walked in on upstairs. Bella and Edward will be sharing a room." Emmett winked at Edward. Causing Bella to blush.
Esme stepped in, "you know what Emmett I could get your father to rent another cabin and then separate the six of you. So unless you want that to happen I suggest you keep your lewd comments to yourself." I smiled at her.
I knew that Bella and Edward were getting closer but I didn't want to push them into that kind of relationship before they were ready.
"okay mom." Was all Emmett said. He didn't like the thought of having no sex with Rose for a couple weeks.
I know some parents looked at me like I was nuts when they found out I let my children sleep with their boyfriend/girlfriend. But it didn't bother me. I would rather my kids be open and honest about it than sneaking around behind my back. That's when teenage pregnancies happened. And I didn't want to be a grandfather before any of my kids graduated from high school.
"Anyway those are the plans. Anyone have any questions?" they all shook their heads. Esme and I went to bed.
"So what did Emmett mean by what they interrupted upstairs." She asked as we got ready for bed.
"All Edward would say was pillow fight." I grabbed her from behind letting her know that I didn't want to talk about the kids anymore.
