Ch 11
The next morning I found grizzly Adams and his brother in the kitchen in a stare down at the table over their bowls of cereal. I'm sure that if Jeffery were here, he would find the situation comical but I just found it annoying. I'm not sure if this is what put me in a bad mood or if I just woke up that way.
"Ok guys. It's too early for this," I said as I poured a cup of coffee. "Are you staying again tonight, Jasper?"
"No!" Jackson answered for his brother.
"Yes!" Jasper shot back at him.
"Fine. But we're talking about this tonight over dinner. I don't have time right now, and neither do you two. I need to get to work and Jackson, you need to get to school and Jasper, you need get to a barber. Please."
"Sure Bells. Anything you want," Jasper replied sweetly.
"Ass kisser," Jackson growled at his brother as he stormed out of the kitchen.
Work was slow again, even slower than yesterday. I spent most of the morning and afternoon dusting and sweeping. I was bent over sweeping dirt into the dust pan in front of the open broom closet when I heard a growl come from something behind me. It sounded like a bear. I straightened up and turned around quickly.
"Geez Em! You scared me!" I gave a little laugh to shake off my embarrassment. But Emmett wasn't laughing, he wasn't even smiling. He had this serious look on his flushed face and his eyes were sort of glazed over. "Em? Are you ok?"
That's when he pounced.
His arms shot out around my waist and his mouth attacked mine. The force with which he kissed me pushed us into the broom closet. First I registered shock, but when I allowed myself to feel his lips…I liked it. Of course I liked it, who wouldn't? His lips were firm and felt amazing against mine. It was like getting a massage after a long time of needing one. His pace was slow and sensual, it was nice. However, when I started to kiss him back, he stopped, and felt the need to start talking.
"I'm sorry Bella, but I can't stay away from you anymore." He said while still holding me close to him.
I reached behind him and closed the closet door. "Just shut up and kiss me." I was glad to find out that I didn't have to tell him twice. In the dark I felt his broad shoulders and his thick neck…his hard chest. He grabbed my ass and ground his hips into me. He was so hard and so big. Then he growled again and the sound went straight to my loins. I broke away from his kiss to catch my breath and his lips went to my neck. Gooseflesh broke out all over me.
"mmm…Bella, you taste so good." He said into my neck as he nibbled on the skin there.
The backs of my thighs found the top edge of an old keg so I slid my ass onto it and grabbed a hold of Emmett's dress shirt collar and pulled his mouth back down to mine. He stood between my legs while he blindly removed my converse sneakers. I felt them slip off my bare feet and then heard them plop onto the hard floor. His hands then traveled back up my legs and under the denim mini I wore today.
"I want to taste you Bella, please, let me taste you," he begged.
"uh huh," was my simple reply.
He reached under my skirt and wrapped his thick fingers around the waste band of my tights and panties and pulled. I helped by lifting my ass just enough off the keg for him to slide them down. When they were off, he kissed me while groping my breast in one hand and my ass cheek in the other. Then he ground his erection into me. God, it had been so long.
"I've wanted to do this for so long now Bella." He then dropped to his knees and started kissing my thighs. Both his hands had found purchase on my ass. Without any warning he dove face first into my wet sex and started licking like a starving man. My toes curled and I let out a loud moan. The feel of his tongue on my clit, his hands on my ass, and his cheeks lightly brushing against the inside of my thighs had me whimpering uncontrollably. I kept a firm grip on the keg. He had no mercy on me and I was falling over the edge within the minute. I had no time to enjoy the after shock of the orgasm that rocked through me and Emmett and no time to stand up before we heard a faint but distinct, "Bella?!"
I jumped up off the keg quickly, knocking Emmett on his ass. "Shit, shit, shit," I whispered. "It's Rose." I reached down for Emmett in the dark to help him up in the little closet. "I'll go out first and meet her at the front of the store. You wait and then go out the back. Ok?"
"Ok," he said. I moved to open the door. "Bella?!" I heard her call again.
"Wait," Emmett whispered.
"What?" I whispered back.
"Umm..I guess I'll call you? We can get together again?" He asked awkwardly.
"Yeah, sure," I answered just as awkwardly. "Call me."
I slipped out of the closet quickly and high tailed it to the front. Just as rounded the corner I ran into Rose.
"Bella. Good grief! Where were you? This place is creepy all by yourself. I don't see how you stand it."
"I was in the back cleaning, Rose. What are you doing here? Don't you have a job or something?"
"Well, somebody's crabby today. You should be nicer to people bearing gifts." She raised up a little pink gift bag to dangle from her finger. "After my classes today in Port Angeles I went by this little store called Cherry's and got you something that I think will help you with your crabby mood." She took a second to look down at me. "Where are your shoes Bella? Why are you wearing a short skirt in this weather?"
Shit. I had to think quickly. "I dropped a 6-pack of Bud Light and beer spewed everywhere. I soaked my shoes and tights. You know how clumsy I am."
"Oh. Well, here. Open your present." She accepted my story and held the present out to me.
I took it from her and went to the counter. "What the occasion?" I asked.
"No occasion. I just saw it and thought of you." She replied.
I peered into the pink bag and there past the white tissue paper in the bottom, still in its clear plastic package was a sleek purple vibrator. "Rose! What the hell?! You saw this and thought of me?"
"Well, yeah! What's wrong? You don't like it?" She seemed really hurt at the idea that I didn't like it.
"Umm…well, it's not that I don't…I just…well, I've never had one?" I didn't know what to say. It was a thoughtful gift, I guess.
"I just figured that since it's probably too soon for you to be jumping into bed with anyone but it's still been a while since you've been laid, that maybe this might get you through the in between stage." My mind immediately went to the closet and what just happened between me and Emmett. At no point during our jump in the closet did I think about Jeffery or that it was too soon. And that made me feel guilty. And that guilt made me feel sick.
"Thanks Rose." I mustered up what enthusiasm and sincerity I could and smiled. "I can't wait to try it out."
"I knew you would like it!"
A few minutes later, just as Rose was leaving she turned back to me and said, "Oh Bella, I almost forgot to tell you. I heard on the radio that there's a bear on the loose in town. Two people have already been attacked. So be careful, ok?"
"Ok. I will. Thanks Rose." She had no idea that I had already been attacked by that bear in the broom closet.
Later, on the way to pick up Sheridan from daycare, my cell rang.
"Hello?"
"Hello Bella. It's Edward. How are you today?"
"I'm fine. How are you?"
"Good. I just wanted to call to see if you had a chance to use your new toy yet?"
"What?!" How the hell did he know about my new toy? Oh my God, why would he ask me that?
"Your stun gun? Did you get to light Seth up like a Christmas tree?"
"Oh. No. I haven't gotten the chance to use it yet." I said relieved.
"So, you worked it out with him then?"
"Yeah, sort of I guess. He's just going through a rough time right now."
He was quiet.
"Anyway, how are things working out with Jackson?" I asked.
"Great. He's a hard little worker. Smart too. He told me earlier that Jasper's back, and that he staying with you."
"Yeah, and Jackson's not too happy about it."
"I noticed."
"We're going to have a talk about it tonight. Sort of get things out in the open. You know?"
"Yeah, that will be good. Sometimes you have to force guys to talk about shit."
"Yeah."
He was quiet again.
"Edward?"
"Yeah."
"I was wondering. I mean…I've been thinking…Do you think it's kind of strange that we've never met? Like maybe there's a reason? Because I keep thinking that we're bound to run into each other eventually, at Esme's or anywhere really, but we never do."
"Do you think there's a reason?" he asked.
"No, I don't think so. I'm not sure really."
"I don't think there's a reason. It just hasn't happened yet, I guess."
Just as he finished I heard a loud engine roar. "Sorry Bella. I have to go. I'll talk to you later. Bye!"
"Ok. Bye." That seemed a little weird.
I picked up Sheridan and headed home to start dinner.
I was stirring a pot of spaghetti sauce when the thought occurred to me. Maybe Edward doesn't want to see me. Maybe he's avoiding me. I'm not sure why I did it, maybe it was because I'm a stupid and insecure girl deep down, but I texted him.
Are you avoiding me? Is that why we've never met?
And I immediately regretted it. As soon as my finger hit the send button I wanted to take it back, but it was already sent. There was nothing I could do. This day was getting shittier and shittier, along with my mood.
By the time dinner was done and Jackson was home and we were all seated around the dinner table eating, my mood hadn't gotten any better. I really didn't want to open this can of worms, but I knew it had to be done.
"So, Jasper, what are your plans?" I asked. Both he and Jackson put their forks down.
"Well, I was hoping to stay here. I want to help, with money and keeping Sheridan and other stuff. You know, kinda be the man of the house," He replied.
"She doesn't need any help. I'm helping with money and I keep Sheridan when she needs me to." Jackson said.
"Like you make anything at that crappy job." Jasper shot back.
"Easy Jasper," I warned.
"I'd like to see you do better!" Jackson yelled.
"Enough! I'm not going to listen to this. Jasper, I'm doing fine, really. I've got Sheridan in daycare and money isn't a big deal so don't feel like you have to help us."
"Yeah," Jackson said.
"But Bella, it's got to be hard with Jackson here too."
"We're fine. Really. Jackson's a big help. He more than carries his own load around here. Besides, I was going to tell him that maybe he should quit Masen's Automotive, if he wants. There's really no need, and I'm sure Katie misses him as much as I do."
"Katie? Who's Katie?"
"My girlfriend. And no I don't want to quit. I don't want to bum off of you Bella. I want to pay for my own stuff, and help you out if you need it."
"Work if you want to Jackson, but don't worry about me. You're sixteen, you should be hanging out with your friends and going to the movies. What happened to the band? You should be doing gigs and practicing. Just be a normal kid, ok?"
"The Senior Christmas formal is coming up. Katie's probably going to ask me to go with her. Will it make you happy if I go to that?" He asked.
"Yes it would. Meanwhile, Jasper, I think it would be ok if you stayed here until you found a job and get your own place."
"Thanks Bells. I promise I won't be a problem."
I could tell this really bothered Jackson. He wouldn't look at me, his fists were clenched, knuckles white, his jaw was set tight and his eyes were wet.
"Jax?" I asked. "What's wrong?"
He didn't say anything. He didn't even move.
"Jax? Come on. What's the matter?" I urged.
His eyes shot to Jasper. "Don't get too attached Bella. He probably won't stick around for long, no telling which side of North America he'll be off to next."
"What's your problem man? You've been giving me shit since I got here." Jasper asked angrily.
"You're my problem!" Jackson stood and yelled at Jasper. "You come back and waltz in here like nothing happened. Where the hell were you? Huh? You missed your brother's funeral! Where were you?! Dad kicked me out and I had nowhere to go! Where were you?" he kept asking. Tears streaming down his face. I stood and ran around the table to him. I couldn't stand to see him hurting. He let me hug him to me, but pulled away quickly.
"I'm going for a walk." He grabbed his jacket and walked out the door. I turned to Jasper.
"I'm an asshole." Jasper said.
I sat back down next to him and looked him in the eye. "There is so much we need to talk about, so much you and Jackson need to talk about. So I need you to swear to me right now that you aren't going to leave again."
"I swear Bella. I'm not going anywhere. Not unless you want me to."
"What I want is for you to work this out with Jackson. I didn't realize until tonight how badly he needs you."
"I'm going to go look for him." He got up and grabbed his coat and headed out the door.
I watched him leave and then stood to clean Sheridan up. Bless her heart, she sat there during the whole argument and didn't say a word. I took her to the living room and put in the Little Mermaid for her to watch while I cleaned up the kitchen.
I was pouring the leftover spaghetti sauce from the pot to a storage container when the pot slipped from and fingers and landed with a thud on the floor. Spaghetti sauce splattered everywhere. On the floor, the cabinets and all over me. I was wiping sauce from my face and shirt when there was a knock at the door.
Without really thinking anything I swung the door open. There, standing on my front step was a beautiful man. A beautiful man I had never seen before. He was tall and slim with auburn hair that just went everywhere. He shot a hand through it, pushing it back away from his face. However, his hair just flopped back over into his stunning green eyes. He wore grungy jeans and a holey gray t-shirt with a blue and yellow plaid button-down over it. He shoved his hands into his pockets and looked down at his black boots. He seemed a bit nervous, or maybe he was just a little insecure.
"Can I help you?" I asked.
"I'm not avoiding you Bella Swan." He looked up at me through his hair.
Edward. I smiled.
"You believe me?" he asked.
I shook my head up and down still grinning like an idiot.
"Good." He smiled back. Then he turned and started walking away from me. I began to panic, but I didn't try to stop him.
Halfway to the street he turned around and while walking backwards yelled out to me, "I'll see you around Bella."
I gave a little wave and watched him get into an old back Dodge Charger. When he drove away I shut the door and walked in a happy daze to the bathroom.
"Oh man!" I said when I saw myself in the mirror. It would be just my luck to meet the sexiest man alive for the first time with spaghetti sauce in my hair.
Ok, I know that the ending was kinda cheesy, but I couldn't resist. She finally met Edward though! Yay! I bet you guys were wondering when that was going to happen.
So, I just popped my lemon cherry with Emmett giving Bella head on a keg in the broom closet. Bella's such a pimp. That was considered a lemon though, right? My mama always said that oral sex was still sex.
