AN: I don't even know how many days it's been. I think I'm gonna cap this story at 10 chapters because I have another banging around my head. I will do my best to make you hopefully like this chapter more.
Chapter 7: bitch
Bella hung up after that, pacing around the room. I could tell she was pissed, as she was emanating waves of unpleasant feeling. She growled, and threw her phone against the wall, before kicking the table at her feet smashing it into splinters. "Bella, baby, you have to stop. Destroying our room isn't going to help. I have no clue what's going on so could you please tell me?" I ask, not understanding the animosity toward Alexa. She turned to look at me, before sitting down on the couch. I went to sit right next to her, holding her hand in mine.
"The problem is, "she started off, staring out the window, "is that she thinks she is Cole's real mate. And we've tried to get her to back off, but to no avail. I'm beginning to think the only way to stop her going after him is to kill her. Which I can't do." She turned to face me, her eyes full of sadness. She looked away almost immediately, as if it was her fault. I was at a loss. Why did Bella, who clearly hated this girl, say she can't kill her and then be sad about it? I had to be missing something. "What do you mean you can't kill her?" I asked.
I was still holding her hand, but she wouldn't look me in the eye. I caressed her chin, pulling her face up to meet mine. I took her lips with mine, kissing her as softly as I could. I didn't want this to be about lust, but love. I pulled away, looking her in the eyes. She smiled a little, but it was enough for me. "I was the one who made her, who introduced her to Cole. If I hadn't of done any of that, we wouldn't be in this situation." She said, the sadness coming back to her eyes.
"It's not your fault, it's not like you could've known what she would become." I said. She chuckled, "Feels like it though". This sucked major ass, but there was nothing we could do. Not one damn thing. We sat in silence after that for a while, just enjoying each others presence. Bella got up, and pulled me up with her. She pulled me toward the bedroom, and I knew what she wanted almost instantly.
Unlike the last time we made love, this time it was less primal, and more sensual. We explored each other's bodies, finding all the right buttons to push. After we finished for the third time that morning, we cuddled, enjoying each other's embrace. I could die right now, and still be happy about it. As long as I was next to Bella, nothing could go wrong. We laid like that for hours, until the sun started shining through the window.
I rolled over to look at the clock, and it read 7:37am. I rolled back over, snuggling into Bella's chest. "Its morning time, we should get ready for the day." I said. She huffed, wrapping an arm around me. "I don't wanna, I'm already comfortable as it is." She said, pretending to sound tired. I could see her fighting a smile, so I started tickling her. "So not fair" she yelled, jumping out of bed. "I'll get you back for that." "No you won't, you love me too much." I said, walking over to her to give her a good morning kiss.
"You know, I could use a few new books to have something to do. I haven't had any new ones in a while, so I was wondering if you wanted to come with to the bookstore" I asked, knowing she would say yes. "I don't know…" she started to say, before I gave her the biggest pout I could manage. I kept at it, until I could see her relenting. "Fine, but only because you're so adorable when you pout" she said, kissing me. I smiled, going to the bathroom to check my outfit. I guess I looked decent enough for an outing, then again I was a vampire. We looked sexy whatever we were wearing.
I brushed my unruly hair down, and put on a different shirt. I heard Bella catcall when I took my top off, making me smile. I finished changing, and got my stuff to leave. I gave Phaedra one last pet, reassuring her we weren't leaving forever before closing the door to our room. Right as we were about to head out the main door, I realized it was bright outside. Shit, I can't go out there. People will notice. Bella though, seemed to be able to read my mind. "It's okay darling, I can cover you with my shield. Just stay close." She whispered. Ha, Like I would have a problem staying close to her.
I wrapped my arm around her waist, and we walked out to her car. As soon as the sunlight hit us, I felt the warmth it entailed. I looked down and couldn't believe what I saw. I wasn't shining. I loved my Bella. She continued to amaze me. I kissed her cheek, letting her know how much she truly meant to me. She mumbled something about people seeing, but I didn't care.
We got into the car, and set off. We found the Bookstore in no time, a little place called 'the Looking Glass'. It had a kid looking through a spyglass at a book as its logo. It was a quaint little book store, and one I immensely liked. I had discovered it after my parent's death, and it helped. A book was like having another life, and a really good one another universe. Books helped me through the worse point in my life, hell they probably saved my life. Bella noticed how spaced I was, and brought me back to reality.
"Do you have any specific book in mind?" she asked me as she held the door open. What a gentleman, or would it be gentle lady? I smirked at the idea, before answering Bella. "Yeah, it has been out for a while but I never got the chance to get it. I'm hoping they still have it" I said, looking around. I walked through the aisles, stroking the books spines, old and new. "What's the name of this book?" Bella asked, looking curious. "The Astonishing Adventures of Fanboy and Gothgirl. I accidently found it, but the title intrigued me. So I checked it out but never got a chance to read it. The summary though was interesting." I replied. We looked around the store, until I caught sight of it on the back wall
"Yes, got it. We can go now." I said victoriously, pumping my fist in the air. "Calm down love, it's just a book" Bella said, trying to suppress a laugh at my childish behavior. I stuck my tongue out at her, causing her to laugh anyway. By now, we had managed to get some attention from some of the other shoppers. "Come on darling, let's go" I said, grabbing my mate's hand. We paid for m y book, and left.
As we walked to the car, I got an idea. "Hey Bella, "I chimed, "let's go on a date. We haven't actually been on one since you turned me, so I want to go on a date. With you. Now. If that's ok?" The look she gave me was priceless, she had not seen this coming. The look of surprise on her face was superb, and one I was never going to forget. She quickly regained her posture and looked at me with incredulous eyes. "Now? With all that's going on?" Bella asked me. "Yeah, right now. You need to get your mind off things, and what better way than a date. And a proper one at that." I said, beaming at her.
I really wanted her to say yes, because she deserved it. She really did, so I wanted to return the favor for being everything I need. "Yes, of course. Anything for you, Marijane." She smiled, planting a kiss on my lips. I didn't think she did PDA, but I didn't care. I was enjoying the moment when we were rudely interrupted.
Some girl cleared her throat behind us, and was clearly trying to get our attention. I was about to flip her off, when I noticed her scent. Vampire. Fucking shit, can't we have one day alone together? Was that too much to ask? I growled in displeasure at her, clutching Bella tighter. I gave her one last kiss, before turning away to look at her. She was of medium height, and had a very preppy look to her. Her blonde curls framed her slender face, and her glowing red eyes clearly stated the obvious.
"What do you want?" I growled out in frustration, "Can't you see were busy?" "Yeah I could see that, kinda hard to miss you tongue fucking her. Anyway, I'm here looking for Cole. I have some news for him." She said, look down to check her nails. I really wanted to punch this girl. Why? I didn't know, nor care. Bella looked to me, clearly wondering what this girl had to tell Cole. "Why do you need to talk to him?" Bella asked the other vampire. "That's for me to know, and you to not know. Now can you tell me where to find him" She asked again. Gahh, the nerve of this girl. If she kept talking for much longer I was gonna punch her.
"How do you know my brother" I ask, trying my hardest to not sound snobbish. "So you're the sister he was always going on about. I thought you'd be prettier, the way he talked about you." She said, putting her hands on her hips. Alright, this bitch was gonna get it. I was about to lash out, when Bella wrapped her arms around my stomach like she knew what I was about to do. "Not now, you can get her later" She whispered in my ear. "So, are you gonna tell me where he is, or just sit there being all lovey dovey all day?" the blonde asked, clearly growing frustrated.
"What's your name" I ask, more as a demand than a question. "Carolina" she said. I pulled out my phone, giving my brother a call. Ring, ring, and he finally picked up on the third tone. "Hey sis, what's up?" he asked, huffing. I could hear Robbyn in the background, huffing too. Geeze, did they have sex at every possible moment? "There's a girl here, and she needs to tell you something apparently. Her name is Carolina." Before I could even get out her name I heard Robbyn telling him to give her the phone.
"Give her the phone, I need to speak with my sister." Robbyn spoke quickly. Sister? This bitch was her sister? Talk about polar opposites. I did as she asked though, handing Carolina the phone. She had a smug look about her face, and if it wasn't for Bella, I would've punched her. But if it meant keeping Bella wrapped around me, I think I'll be ok without physical violence.
They talked for about a minute, before Carolina ended the call. "Alright, glad that's settled. I'll be on my way out." She sneered, walking away. What a total bitch. I'm surprised that Robbyn was able to put up with her, because she would've been dead a long time ago if I were her sister. I still felt Bella's arms wrapped around me, and I started purring in comfort. "So date night still on?" I asked, twisting my head around to look at Bella.
"Of course love." She smiled at me, and we got in her car and drove back to the apartment. "Don't forget though, were still hanging out with Cole and Robbyn at noon" she added as we pulled into the parking lot. As we got up to the room, I noticed a new scent that didn't belong to anyone that I recognized. Bella smelled it to, and she instantly started smiling. She swiped our car, and we entered our room.
In the armchair sat two young looking girls, both appearing to be about the age of 16. But I knew better, they both smelled like vampires. Well, the blonde one did. The brunette did as well, but not nearly as strong. And then I heard it. Her heartbeat, not as fast as a humans, but definitely there. The blonde was sitting on the brunettes lap, giggling at something she had just said.
As soon as we got in, they both turned to look at us, and the brunette smiled. The blonde one just kinda looked nervous. Bella went over, and gave them both a kiss on the cheeks. They turned their gaze from her to me, and Bella introduced us. "Marijane, this is Renesmee" she said, gesturing to the brunette, "and her mate, Jane" motioning to the blonde.
AN: seriously though, if you get a chance, I highly recommend the astonishing adventures of Fanboy and Gothgirl. it's a really good book about a kid going through high school. Barry lyga (the author) is damn good at what he writes. Anyway, just one person's opinion. 3 chapters to go. See you next time.
