Chapter 14
BPOV
Today has been the perfect day. Waking up next to Edward, showering with Edward… mmmm… okay, back on point. He took me to a bookstore. To many people that seems pathetic, but to me it was wonderful. It shows just how much he knows about me. He knows of my love of the written word and doesn't make me feel ashamed about it. Most would consider me a book worm or nerd, and I say 'so what!' I can get lost in a bookstore for hours. At least today it was cut down to three. Ohhh, the lunch was magnificent. At first I was uneasy when I got a front row seat of the slut waitress we had ignoring me to drool over Edward, but he made sure to set her straight in the most delicious way. It was probably wrong to make out in front of her, but who gives a shit. He is mine BITCH! Then to take me to a romantic comedy, God, that just made me love him even more. I am sure he wanted to see the latest gangster movie, but instead chose a movie that I wanted to see.
That brings us to where I am now. Laying on a blanket with Edward, in a picturesque meadow, naked bodies entwined after we made love. *sigh* How can life get any better than this? I wasn't able to imagine I could feel anything finer than when Edward went down on me, but hell, love making is beyond words. My entire body felt like shots of electricity was passing through it. I had no control over the sounds that were coming from my mouth. His body fit so seamlessly with mine. We truly belong together. Two halves making a whole. I am glad that I decided to go on the pill after we started dating. I knew we were going to wait to have sex, but I wanted to be prepared. He even went to the doctors with me for support. How many men do that?
I gave his body a squeeze as I thought of just how extraordinary my man is. That must have brought him out of his own thoughts. "What are you thinking about love?" he asked.
"Oh, thinking about the hunky piece of man meat that I am lying next to." I giggled.
"Is that right" he says as he starts tickling my sides. I can't catch my breath from his attack. Before we can register it, he is laying on top of me and our laughter stops. He brushes a piece of hair off my face and caresses my cheek with the back of his fingers, staring deep into my eyes. I feel like I can see into his soul when I look into those emerald orbs of his. "God Bella, I love you so much. I don't feel like I will ever be able to make you understand how much. My heart is overflowing with all of the love I feel for you."
I can feel the tears burning behind my eyes. How does he know the ideal thing to say at the proper time? "Oh Edward…" I softly run my fingers though his bronze locks. "I have so much love for you that it overwhelms me. I thank God every day for bringing you into my life."
We tenderly kiss and make love again. Slow and steady. Gentle and peaceful. Capturing each others every gasp, every movement, every breath to memory.
Unwillingly we dress and pack up to head back. I am sure the evidence of my euphoria is obvious on my face. But I don't care. Nothing and no one will destroy the feelings and love I have at this moment.
"Edward" I start as we are driving back to my house, "can you come to my house for dinner tomorrow night? I know mom and dad know you, but I want them to know you as my boyfriend, not just my friend. I want them to see how important we are too each other."
"I would love to Bella. Just promise to hide the bullets from your dad's guns." he smirks. "I don't want him getting any ideas of shooting the guy who is stealing his little girl away."
"Don't worry baby, I will protect you" I snicker.
Even though I hate thinking about sleeping alone in my bed, waking up in the morning without his arms around me keeping me safe, Edward takes me home. When we pull up to the house, I see Billy's car in the driveway. "Who does that car belong to Bella?" Edward questions.
"That is Billy Black's car. He lives on the La Push reservation and is my dad's fishing buddy. Wanna meet him?" Edward gives me a look of uncertainty. "Come on baby" I continue, "it will be okay."
We head into the house and I am greeted with a loud 'BELLA' coming from the living room. Out pours Jacob, Billy's son, grabbing me up into his arms in a big hug, swinging me around in circles before he puts me back onto the floor. "Hi Jake" I squeak out before I look over to Edward who is burning a hole through Jake's head with his eyes. Thank goodness he doesn't have super powers... "Jake, I would like you to meet my boyfriend Edward. Edward, this is Jake. He is Billy's son and an old friend of mine."
The guys shake hands and I can see the tense crinkle on Edward's forehead begin to soften slightly. "Nice to meet you Edward." Jake states.
He turns to me, "Glad to see you finally did something about your crush Bells." My cheeks are on fire from my embarrassment.
"She has been talking my ears off about you." he proclaims to Edward. Then in his funny Bella voice "Oh Jake, I just love him but I am not good enough for him. He is so wonderful Jake. Why can't I be lucky enough to have him for my very own?"
God shoot me dead on this spot. Can I feel more like a jackass? I want to crawl under a rock and hide forever. I look up to Edward from under my lashes to see a huge grin on his face.
"Sorry for your suffering Jake" Edward laughs. "I wish I would've known I could've saved you from the pain."
"HA HA guys" I shout. "Enough making fun of Bella."
Our laughter catches the attention of the adults. They come over to us and we introduce Edward to Billy. Mom has invited Jake and Billy to dinner, and to my elation, she invites Edward to stay, to which he gratefully accepts.
We have a great spaghetti dinner and everyone seems to be getting along well. Mom swoons over Edward. The man can dazzle anyone, I swear. Of course, the men folk enjoy talking about sports, fishing, blah blah blah… Boring, but better than 'let's talk about all of the embarrassing things Bella has done in her life'.
The men retreat to the living room and the 60' flat screen on the wall. Mom and I start cleaning up after dinner. "Bella, I really like Edward. He is so nice and well mannered. He looks so much like his father, Dr. Cullen" mom gushes.
I agree, "yes mom, he is pretty wonderful."
"Are you two really serious about each other? I mean are you protecting yourselves." I am mortified talking about this to my mother. Fuck. "Yes mom" I begin, "Edward is my soul mate and I love him with everything in me. We will be careful. Nothing to worry about."
"Good sweetie" was all she had left for me before she took the guys some pie for dessert. I sat with Edward on the chair, while we ate dessert and watched TV. Mom and I walked Jake and Billy to the door when they started to leave. I was a little worried about leaving Edward alone with dad, but if there is ever a time to get it over with, this is it. The four of us watched some more TV before mom and dad headed up to their room. Left alone, I took my opportunity to suck his face off since it had been hours since I tasted the sweetness of Edward.
"So baby, what did you and my dad talk about?" I said trying to be coy.
"Nothing love. We just watched TV." He replied with a smirk. I wanted to yell BULL SHIT, but I figured he would tell me when he wanted to. Instead I kissed that smirk right off of his face. Too soon he had to leave. I pouted as I walked him to the door. "Don't give me that look love. I don't want to leave either, but I think they might get upset if you spend every weekend at my house." He whispered in my ear before placing a kiss on my neck.
I shivered from the feeling "I will miss laying in your strong arms, having you hum my lullaby to me, waking up curled into your body. That's all."
"God Bella, you are going to be the death of me." Edward groaned. "How about I come over bright and early and we can have breakfast together?"
"Okay baby. Call me when you get home so I know you've made it" I kiss him long and deep, my hands gripping the hair at the back of his neck. His arms clenching me to his body as if he is afraid to let me go. Once we break apart he makes his way to his car and drives off.
I get ready for bed and just as I lay down my phone buzzes. "Hello sexy man" I answer.
"Good thing it is me calling or you'd be in some serious trouble" Edward teases. We talk for about a half hour before the yawns overtake us. "Sweet dreams baby, I love you" I coo. "Night my Bella. I love you too."
I quickly fell into a deep sleep as I replayed our perfect day in my head. I am the luckiest girl on the planet.
