Chapter 4

Bella

Birdsong woke me up.

It's going to be a beautiful day. Or not. The beauty salon was on the schedule. I am so happy to see Emmett and Rosalie again. Rose looks so beautiful with her little baby bump. Edward and I would like to have children someday too. Yes, that would be nice, but we don't want to rush into anything. It'll all work out. Last night I was brave and I'm proud of myself. The wine had probably contributed a lot to that. Alice said to me, "Nothing ventured, nothing gained. " So I mustered up my courage and lo and behold, not as bad as I thought. My Edward is so beautiful, everything about him.

I blushed a little at this thought.

We have no secrets from each other, never have.

Flashback

When I first introduced Edward to my parents, I was a little nervous. I had never brought a boy home with me before. My mother was beside herself with excitement and my dad, well, that's how fathers are.

His little princess was much too young to go out with a boy.

Edward convinced my parents with impeccable behavior.

My dad was reassured, and my mother was delighted. A bouquet of flowers for her and all was well. She reassured my father and told him that I was already eighteen years old, and she was already pregnant with me at my age.

This was not such a good idea.

Flashback end

The first time we became intimate after a year and a half and it was beautiful, it still is. I had talked to Alice and Rosalie yesterday and they gave me ... suggestions. It wasn't like we were living behind the moon, but I don't know, somehow it never came up. The things that Alice and Rose said to me, oh my goodness, there were some really revolutionary things. Some of it I liked, some of it I didn't. You couldn't like everything.

I looked at the alarm clock.

Shortly after seven o'clock. Time to get up. Our appointment at the beauty salon was at half past ten. Alice said it would take a couple of hours.

I snuggled up to my bunny and spread loud little kisses on his face. He started to smile and snuggled closer to me.

A beautiful morning.

"Good morning, sweetheart."

His voice was still hoarse from sleep. I loved this tone of voice.

"Good morning to you too, my rabbit. We have to get up, the beauty salon is waiting."

He growled and I chuckled.

Hand in hand, we walked down the stairs and heard clattering from the kitchen.

"Top of the morning to you two. I'm glad you're up already. Rose and Emmett are coming, too. I took the liberty of setting the table and getting some rolls."

Alice whirled around the kitchen.

"Good morning, Alice," Edward and I said together.

Alice chuckled.

"You guys are so cute together, but you always have been."

Alice whirled around to the coffee maker and pushed the button.

"Coffee's coming, too. Get your butts in the chairs and make yourselves comfortable."

We sat down and watched Alice prance back and forth in the kitchen. Less than two minutes later, Emmett and Rose came in.

"Morning everyone."

Emmett looked like he hadn't slept well. Rose, on the other hand, was the blooming life.

"What time are we leaving today?" he asked, sitting down on a chair.

"We're supposed to be there at half past ten. Leaving half an hour before should be enough," Alice said buoyantly and poured everyone a cup of coffee.

"Such a good mood in the early morning," Emmett mumbled.

When we finished breakfast, I picked up some vegetables and looked at Emmett and Rosalie.

"I wanted you to meet Jake and Tanya."

I smiled at them.

Edward took my hand and intertwined our fingers; he got a kiss in return.

"Bella introduce you to Jake and I'll introduce you to Tanya," my Honey Bunny said, making her way to the patio door.

"But the coffee!" grumbled Alice.

"It's quick, and if it's not, we'll make another one."

I looked at her and she nodded.

All together we went to the garden.

First to Jake.

"Hello, handsome, come here."

I waved a carrot.

"Oh ... a black sheep, he's so cute," Rosalie sighed.

"Jake! The Jake!"

Alice looked at me in amazement.

"Yeah, that Jake," Edward grumbled.

I chuckled.

"Jacob Black! That's so funny," Alice squeaked.

Emmett looked confused.

"Em, from Bella's book. I told you about it," Rose explained to Emmett.

You could see a light coming on for him.

"Well then, let's go ahead and take a look at Tanya the slut," Emmett said.

No sooner said than done.

Edward took Tanya out of her house.

"Pretty fat, that thing." Emmett reached out and stroked Tanya. "But she's got a cuddly coat."

She wallowed in the male attention.

Inwardly, I shook my head.

Rose approached Edward and cautiously held out her hand.

Tanya growled, as always - with women, anyway.

Edward scratched her ears, and she calmed down again.

"She didn't growl like that with Emmett!"

Rose looked at Edward.

"He's male," was his simple answer.

"Tell the cattle to be careful they don't end up in the cooking pot," Alice contributed.

My Honey Bunny puffed.

"She's not that bad."

"We have to leave soon. Come on, let's have another coffee."

I linked arms with Alice, and we walked to the house.

We were standing in front of a large building with 'Neptune's Garden' written in large green letters.

Alice led the way and the rest of us dutifully followed.

"Good afternoon, how can I help you?" asked the nice lady at the reception.

"We have an appointment at her house, five people," Alice said.

"In what name, please."

"Brandon."

Alice looked at her politely.

"Please follow me."

She pointed the direction with her hand.

She took us to a man and a woman and explained the further procedure. The woman's name was Victoria and the man's name was Riley. Both were very handsome.

Riley winked at me, and I smiled politely.

Edward growled softly.

"Ladies ... please follow me," Riley said, leading the way.

"Stop!"

I looked at Edward in amazement.

So does everyone else.

"What's wrong, Edward?", I asked him.

"Can't Victoria be responsible for you guys?"

He looked at Riley with narrowed eyes.

Could it be that he is jealous? Mmm ... somehow I like that.

"That's not a problem," Victoria said. "Please follow me."

Hours later, during which I was tormented.

Well, not always. The massages were very pleasant.

Alice watched everything like a hawk.

I was waxed, that's when I was most afraid. That was all half so bad until it was my Fufu's turn. Pain was not the right expression for it, torments of hell was more like it. But I had survived, and it looked quite nice, and unusual ... naked.

My long hair was still long, but now had a little more pep.

Layered cut, they had immediately more fullness and my curls were better to see. Oh, I forgot about the shine. After quite a few packs and treatments they shone enchantingly. Beautiful.

I was massaged through, packed in mud, seaweed was put on my face and my body was rubbed from top to bottom.

"It's called exfoliation," Alice explained to me.

The massages were very beneficial.

I felt rested and pretty with my new hairstyle and a little makeup on my face.

Now I was curious about Edward and how Emmett had done. The two were still in the pool and swam a few laps. We three girls sat down at the bar and drank vitamin cocktails.

Very tasty.

Four excitedly chattering women sat down a few chairs away at the bar as well.

"Did you see that one. The body ... oh my God."

She grabbed her heart.

"The other one's not bad either though, just a little too much hip gold."

Were they talking about Emmett right now? Or even Edward?

"We should go back, maybe we can slip them our phone numbers."

The BROADS chuckled.

"The smaller one is mine."

My left eye started to twitch.

"Yeah, he's really hot - and me too."

My hands balled into fists ... and SHE fan air at herself.

All at once they fell silent.

I followed her gaze.

Emmett and Edward were coming our way.

My Honey Bunny waved at me.

"Did you see, he means me!"

Only in your dreams, Cow!

I smiled at Edward and Emmett grinned mischievously.

The women next to us were on the verge of fainting, and frantically fan air with their hands to themselves. They threw themselves into pose, hoping that they were meant.

Zilch there. Mine.

His hair was shorter and no longer lay neatly on his head. They stood off his head in complete anarchy.

Mmm ... looks good, too. Edward is a feast for the eyes, I always knew that - but now.

My mouth became dry.

He beamed at me. His eyes sparkled.

"Hey baby! You look good. You two, too, of course," Emmett called out.

Emmett gave Rose a kiss.

"Hello, my darling. All over?" she asked him.

I snuggled up to Edward and he kissed me passionately.

" That's what I was hoping for. That was all hard work," Emmett said.

Alice sipped her cocktail.

Edward looked at me and eyed me closely.

"Now you're even more beautiful than before."

"You look good, too, though. I like the hair."

I ran both hands through his hair. They were always so nice and soft when there was no hair gel in them.

He hummed and pulled me even tighter against him.

Alice looked at her watch.

"So guys, what else do we want to do today?"

She looked around questioningly.

The broads a little further on looked at us venomously.

Pah! Mine.

Rose hadn't missed all this either and smiled kindly at her.

They began to whisper quietly.

Let them.

"No idea."

Edward

This Riley guy gave me the creeps, the way he looked at Bella.

My Bella, stupid.

Fortunately, I was not a woman. So I only got a massage and a new hairstyle. I spent the rest of the time with Emmett in the pool.

How some women are so on it.

I was lying by the pool with Emmett - each on a lounger. We were talking about all sorts of things when two young ladies came in our direction and smiled coquettishly at us.

"Hi. Can we keep you guys company for a bit?"

No.

"Kindly meant, ladies, but not interested."

Thank you, Emmett.

He looked at me.

"So Ed, now it's man-to-man talk."

He pointed his hand back and forth between us in turn.

Super!

"Alice has already explained a bit to me. You're in luck. I'm just the guy for that."

Yes, I can vividly imagine that.

"Do we have to do this here?"

From the look on his face ... yes.

"You call Bella 'Honey'? Do you have another name for her too?"

"Yes ... Bella."

He rolled his eyes.

"Man, I mean something like 'sugar doll'."

Sugar doll?

"No, Emmett, honey is perfectly fine."

"Okay buddy, you're right. Does YOUR BEST FRIEND have a name?"

Uh ...?

He looked at me and groaned.

"Your dick, dude, does it have a name?"

I want to go to Bella!

"No, he doesn't."

"Then what do you call him?"

"Penis, phallus, genitalia ..."

I whispered, Emmett interrupting me.

"Yaaa ..., that's okay, I guess. I mean cock, dick, wand, Johnson, you understand?"

I nodded.

That's not going to be that easy after all.

"And when you have sex, how does that work?"

I want to go to Bella, desperately!

"So ... um ... me-up-Bella-down."

It's best to get it over with quickly.

"Aha ...! The classic missionary position. You already know that it is also from behind, woman on top, standing, sitting, Johnson in the mouth of ..."

"YES! EMMETT! I see."

Good virgin, what kind of images is Emmett putting in my head? Distraction. A distraction was needed.

"Um ... Emmett ... What does ... um ... Rosalie, I mean her pregnancy and yours."

I laughed; glad I had thought of something.

Emmett got going and I relaxed again.

In the meantime, women kept coming up to us and asking if they could have our phone number, if we would go out for a drink with them, or they were quite direct.

How could women offer themselves like that? That shocked me a bit. I didn't have much experience with women, because for me there was always only Bella or my mother. We never went anywhere separately. But here with Emmett they came, one after the other.

"Come on Edward, let's go see if our women are ready yet."

Emmett rose and we went to change clothes.

"There they sit."

He pointed to the bar.

She was even more beautiful. Her hair was shiny and curlier. Beautiful. Bella.

She smiled at me, and I couldn't get to her fast enough and wrap her in my arms.

Emmett had planted images in my head that I would not easily get rid of. Great.

"No idea."

"We can go to a club tonight, what do you think?" said Alice enthusiastically. "But Bella and Edward still need something new to wear."

Approving murmur.

Shopping with Alice.

Bella looked at me in despair. I shrugged my shoulders.

"We'll manage," I whispered in her ear.

"Don't worry, Bella, just some clothes for tonight. I'm sure the real shopping will take all day," Alice rejoiced.

Great! Wonderful!

"I'm comforted by that, Alice," Bella said sarcastically.

Alice dragged us to the nearest store. Rose and Alice stormed the store and gathered various things for us.

Pants, shirts, t-shirts, skirts, blouses and shoes. Dress. Show. Undress. And the whole thing for an hour.

Finally, they were happy with us.

I stepped out of the booth wearing black pants that sat so funny on my hips.

I was not used to that at all. My suspenders would look good here. But Alice would never allow that. A black shirt to go with it. Alice had rolled up my sleeves a bit ... and black sneakers to go with it. Alice called them Chucks.

Emmett and Rosalie murmured their agreement.

Bella came out wearing a blue knee-length dress.

Kept quite simple. Silver chains hung around her neck. Enchanting.

I smiled at her ...

Bella on her knees ... Stop it now Edward!

"Oh Bella, Edward, you look good."

Alice bounced around us, tugging here and there.

"That'll give Edward a lot to do to keep the guys at bay for you, Bella."

Emmett laughed.

That's not funny at all.

I gave him a nasty look.

He laughed again.

"You look very handsome, my Honey Bunny."

Bella looked at me dreamily.

"But you too. I think Emmett is right. Not for one second will I let you out of my sight."

"Come on girls, we still need new lingerie. Off to the nearest store."

Alice pulled Bella by the arm.

"We still have to pay."

Bella rolled her eyes.

"Oh yes, almost forgot. Well then ... chop-chop," cried Alice.

She was always so impatient.

We changed again and went to the checkout with the clothes. The cashier scanned everything, and I gave her my credit card. When she handed the card back to me, she winked.

Bella snorted.

What's wrong with women this day? I am still the same as yesterday.

I looked at Bella and she rolled her eyes.

"I told you all along, buddy. New clothes and a new haircut and you're a whole new person."

I know, Emmett, you've been telling me that for years.

"Come on, guys, hurry up. We still have to get ready," Alice urged.

Rose and Bella laughed.

"Alice, we still have plenty of time," Bella said.

"You know Alice, Bella. Hours of preparation."

Rosalie waved one hand.

"Yes, I know," Bella moaned.

I chuckled and Bella gave me a dirty look.

"Edward, you have to serve today too!"

Her evil eye disappeared.

Fortunate.

"Come here, my Honey Bunny."

I took the two steps to Bella and leaned down to her. A little kiss and another and then a kiss.

"Stop making out, we need to move on."

Alice pulled Bella away from me.

Little Poison Dwarf.

Alice pulled us into a store where there was only underwear. She whirled around and, with Rosalie's help, gathered everything together.

Bella and I sat down on a sofa and watched.

Emmett browsed the store on his own, occasionally showing Rose something. She chuckled and nodded.

"Come on, off to the locker rooms."

Rose and Alice looked at us.

Well then, into the fray!

"Edward, you don't have to try on your clothes, they fit," Alice said, pushing me down on an armchair.

"Sit down! Shut up!"

I nodded in surrender.

"Bella, get in here."

She pushed Bella into a cubicle and put the underwear inside.

A short time later.

"Alice, look."

She poked her head in at Bella.

"Quite well, the next one."

So it went on and on.

"Alice!"

"Honey, she's with Rosalie right now," I called out to her.

"Can you take a look?"

Me?

I stood up.

You've seen it all before, Edward, so don't be shy.

"Yes."

I pulled the curtain a little to the side.

JESUS MARIA AND JOSEPH! I saw everywhere only delicate blue lace, and this covered only the most necessary. Above and below. I am a dead man!

I slipped in with Bella.

"Honey, that looks ... hot," I whispered, my eyes darting over her body.

Bella blushed a little and chuckled.

"Thank you."

She turned and I looked at everything carefully.

If I know she has underwear like that on, how am I supposed to focus on anything else.

I pulled her into my arms and kissed her.

Bella moaned, very softly, but I had heard it. Lust flared in my groin. I pressed her against the cabin wall.

"EDWARD! Where are you?"

Alice.

I took a deep breath and took a few steps back from Bella. She stood there and took a frantic breath.

I am so lost.

"Here, with Bella!"

Alice poked her head into the booth and looked at us with a grin.

"Well, do you like it, Edward?"

I cleared my throat.

"Yes, a lot."

"Well then, let's pay up and go home."

We both nodded.

How in God's name am I supposed to get through this evening? This is going to be pure torture. Did I actually say 'hot' to Bella? Yes, you did. Our Sunday cuddle fell through, and we really need to make up for THAT. Today. If possible, right now...
