a/n: So..who's been enjoying their twilight movie along with me? anyone? [= too bad I don't own it. R&R please
Once on the ferry, all talking ceased. I loved going on the ferry. The girls and I would take it in the middle of the afternoon, for no reason other than to just kill some time. It was…peaceful, relaxing sort of. I imagined this was a glimpse of what it felt like to be on a cruise. Minus all the cars, and bums begging for change of course. We both got coffee, taking it the same way. Two sugars, once cream, a splash of water to cool it off a bit. We drove about five minutes past the ferry to a little corner café, and sat outside. There was just a slight chill to the air, but neither of us minded. This was my favorite time of year. The weather was not too cold, nor too hot. I could wear tanks tops and flip flops, or jeans and a hoodie and be comfortable either way.
We ate a light breakfast, talking about…everything. He went to some fancy medical school, and was now a practicing pediatrician at a private facility about three blocks from my building. Interesting information that. His father was also a doctor, no surprise there. He had no siblings, sadly, and his mother 'forced' him to take ballroom dancing as a child. He had a passion for the piano, and played it as much as he could, and he threatened to take me dancing. Okay, he actually promised, but I see it as a threat. I told him about me as well. Where I went to school, my job…sort of. I actually told him I help people, and didn't want to say too much, pretending to fret over the clients' privacy. He actually bought it, which I was glad of. I wasn't quite ready to expose what I really did.
I told him about my parents, how they killed their marriage shortly after it was born. And how I used to live in Phoenix with my mother, but moved to Forks, Washington to spend time with my dad before coming here for school. This was where I met Rose and Alice, of course, and we were inseparable from the start. What surprised me most was how not only he knew of Forks, he was originally from there. And we had never crossed paths, not even once. I'd have to ask Charlie about the Masens, he was after all the chief of police. He knew everyone in Forks, like it or not.
After a couple hours, we were back on the ferry, deciding to stay in the car this time. We were a bit chilled from sitting outside so long, and the car was nice and toasty. We were in the backseat, now chatting about music. Turns out, he liked Debussy as well. Who knew we'd have so much in common? He was in the middle of talking about a classical piece he'd started but couldn't seem to finish when I decided I couldn't handle it anymore. I moved over to straddle him, and just sat there for a minute, staring at his perfect face. I raised my hands and slowly brought them to rest in his hair, as I did this his eyes instantly closed. I ran my fingers through it ever so slowly, savoring the feel for a few minutes and then began kneading his scalp gently.
He moaned, so softly I barely heard it, and then his lips were on mine. His hands were all over the place, my face, and my hips, traveling down to my ass, and back up to my face again. Mine, stayed in place in his hair. I wasn't letting go so easily. I reveled in the feel of his hands on my face as our tongues danced. After a few minutes, we both pulled apart completely breathless, sucking in the much needed air, and then we were back at it. All too soon, he pulled away, catching his breath before trying to speak.
"Okay, we should stop." He panted. I cocked a brow at him. "Why?" I asked with a slight smile. "Because the next time I fuck you, I want it to be on a bed. Not on a ferry where anyone could walk by and see us." He explained a devilish grin across his face. "Well, that could be arranged." I teased, settling next to him in the seat. He chuckled and ran a hand over his face. "You will be the death of me." He mumbled.
Once back at my place, I tired to coax him up, but to no avail. He had patients to see, and unfortunately, I had dates to plan. Or, according to him, clients to visit. We made dinner plans for that night, and I could not wait. I barely made it through the door when I was bombarded with questions. I shoulda known.
"Where were you?" "Was that the guy you were just with?" "What did you do?" "Have another romping session?"
I laughed at them, and tried to answer accordingly. "I was at breakfast, yes with Edward, we ate and talked, and no." I made my way upstairs completely aware they were following me. I refused to tell them anymore. I stripped back down to my undies, and climbed back in bed. "Uh, Bella? It's ten am are you seriously going back to bed?" Rose asked, crossing her arms. "Oh yeah." I mumbled covering my head up. I heard them both sigh, and close the door and then sleep overtook me.
Two hours later, I was woken up again, this time by Alice handing me the phone. It was Craig, the date for today calling to cancel. He and his girlfriend made up, but really I think he chickened out. Good for him. Escort services were not for everyone. I heaved myself out of bed, and made my way downstairs to visit with the friends. Couldn't be completely antisocial or they'd get jealous of …I don't know my bed maybe?
"Okay, you're awake now. Spill." Alice demanded through bites of her salad. I made myself a big plate of the same, and sat down with them. "Edward woke me up at six this morning, to take me to breakfast, to apologize for his behavior yesterday." I started, knowing the reaction I'd get. "What? That creep!" Rose snapped dropping her fork. "I can't believe him! You went?!" Alice exclaimed. I smiled and nodded my head. "Of course, he was a great lay! Besides, he only wanted to apologize for fucking me so soon after knowing me. Anyway, we took the ferry, and ate breakfast at this quaint little diner. The food was awesome." I continued, purposely dragging it out. After a few minutes of me just eating, and them glaring daggers at me, I continued.
"We got back on the ferry, and made out a little in the backseat of his Volvo. I wanted more, naturally, but he stopped me. He was being all sweet and saying he wanted to fuck me in a bed next time, not on a ferry where people could walk by and see. It was cute. Which, of course, made me want him more. Anyway, we have dinner plans tonight." I finished, smiling the entire time.
I was prepared for teasing, even more prepared for them to tell me not to get serious. I was not, however, prepared for what came. "Bella, you like him! You really like him!" Alice started, pointing her fork at me. "You should probably stop escorting for awhile; ya know to see where this thing goes." Rose chimed in. "Yeah, you should. I'd hate for you to not go through with this and have you regret it later." Alice added thoughtfully.
"I don't have too many clients right now; I could take a few of yours. Alice could probably do one or two also." Rose offered nonchalantly. I snorted. "Guys, its no big deal. Yeah, I like the guy, but I'm not going to stop working because of him. He's a good lay, that's it." I said firmly, not entirely believing my own words. I knew they didn't either, but thankfully they dropped the subject.
