Sorry I took so long. But I've so busy and when I had free time I was too tired to write, then I bought a book and couldn't put it down. For vamp lovers alike, the "Night World" series is really good. Its by L. J. Smith and in the first part, "Secret Vampire" James Rasmussen is described just like Rob! LOL Anyways here is the chapter. Again I am really sorry!
EDWARD
She was sighing, squirming and chewing on her bottom lip. We were a few blocks from Lauren's town home and Bella was a nervous mess.
"Bella, it's just Lauren."
"Exactly. She's your ex. You two made a child together. If the ex doesn't approve, then we're done for."
I laughed. "Where did you hear that from?"
She huffed and groaned. I stopped her by holding her shoulders.
"Bella, that was four years ago. She can't decide whether we're still together or not. Wyatt's told her all about you, I bet. If I love you, he loves you. If he loves you, she'll love you. I promise."
I waited until she sighed and gave me an embarrassed smile, complete with a dark blush.
We continued down the street holding hands and stealing a few kisses.
Finally we reached the right house and I rang the doorbell. After a few bangs and Lauren's demanding voice, the door opened.
BELLA
My mind shattered. This was Lauren? She was beautiful. Rivaling Alice and even Rosalie. She had tight ash blonde ringlets in a side braid. She was in a silk kimono robe and had a French pedicure. She had grey eyes and clusters of dark freckles over rosied cheeks. Her figure was that of Aphrodite. She was Helen of Troy. And I feared Edward was Prince Paris… He and her looked like they could be from a housekeeping magazine, if you throw Wyatt in, other than that, I'd say they stepped out of Maxium and GQ.
I swallowed hard.
"You must be Bella. I'm Lauren." She brought me into a hug and then smiled to Edward.
"Morning Edward." She kissed his cheek and hugged him as well. My blood boiled.
"Hey Lauren." They seemed so comfortable around each other. Where was Captain Fancy Pants? Calm down Bella. Edward is yours. They parted and started some conversation about her work.
" My student's parents are always late. The girls are there for an hour, waiting. I think I'm just going to start taking them home myself."
"Lauren's a ballet instructor. She has a studio down from my apartment," Edward told me. I nodded like I was oh so interested. Now she was perfect. I already hate her.
"And what about you, Bella? What labor do you pull?"
I cleared my head and put on a fake smile. "I work with Edward. I'm his wait- I mean a waitress at Twilight."
She smiled. "That's great. Seeing each other every night."
"Yeah. It's great," I replied lamely.
"Wyatt'll be down, he just needs to pick up his room a bit."
Edward nodded and we all moved to a large modern type kitchen. Edward, without hesitation, opened the fridge and pulled out a bottle of vitamin water. It was like he was her Captain Fancy Pants. He seemed so relaxed, like it was his home.
"So how long have you two been together?" Lauren asked, fixing a cup of coffee. Hazelnut creamer and two packets of Splenda.
"A little over a month, right babe?" I nodded and shifted my weight.
"Why don't you see if the kiddo is almost done upstairs?" She asked Edward.
"Sure." He left. Left me to the damn wolves.
"So, I see he still has that charm, huh?"
"Excuse me?"
"What draws you in? The Edward Masen charm."
"Right."
"I still sometimes wonder what if, you know? Just to picture how we'd be as a family."
I cleared my throat, praying that Wyatt would finish up his damn room.
"But then I see Eric and I know that I made the right decision. My parents disliked Edward anyways. They hated that I fell for someone without a blue collar. But they adore Wyatt. They wanted me to change his last name to Yorkie when I got married, but I couldn't do that to Edward. Wyatt means the world to him. He has such a big heart. Please take care of it. There's only so much that man can take."
I stood there, staring.
"I'm sorry, I'm scaring you with this. You two just met. He said a month?"
"Yeah, but we love each other. I'm moving in soon." The words came out like word vomit. She only smiled.
"We'll have to have a girl's day sometime. I'm sure you want all the dirt on Edward."
I resisted rolling my eyes. I'd love spend time with Edward's baby Momma. Finally Edward appeared with Wyatt on his hip. When those innocent green eyes met mine he squirmed out of his grasp and bolted into my arms. "Bella!" He hugged my neck and kissed my cheek.
"Hey handsome, ready to go?" I gave him a sweet Eskimo kiss that made him giggle.
"Alright, we'll bring him back Monday morning."
Lauren nodded. "Oh, and me and Eric are having a diner party Thursday and you two have to come. Wyatt's staying with my sister. It's a seven."
Edward nodded and I was glad to escape.
"What are we doing today Daddy?"
"The mall."
Wyatt pumped his fists in the air in victory.
"You don't ever plan any of this." I told him.
"Never. It comes to me. It's like a gift, you know? Like I can't control it."
I doubled over in laughter.
"Really? The Girl Next Door?"
"What, it's one of the best comedies."
"I can't believe you'd watch that movie."
"Can I watch it too?" Wyatt asked.
I tried to hide my giggles at his question.
"On your sixteenth birthday."
"Edward!" I playfully swatted his chest.
"Okay, seventeenth."
I shook my head. "I'm sure you'd have a different answer when we have a four year old daughter." Crap. More word vomit.
He only smiled. "Of course. She won't ever see that. The only boys she'll ever love is me and Wyatt."
Is he agreeing that he'll make a little girl with me? I picture a little girl running ahead of us, a twin to Wyatt's baby looks and Edward's features.
There you go. Not what you expected huh? LOL
And I'm here with the beautiful Bell herself, Bella.
Me: Hey, so give me some reasons you immediately hate Lauren.
Bella: Um, didn't the chapter explain? She's like a stepford wife. Perfect, beautiful.
Me: But she was sweet and still cares about her ex. I've had exes that care for me like that and my more recent boyfriends understood. They never were this jealous.
Bella: Compared to me! Hello! How would Edward choose me when he has Lauren?
Me: Had.
Bella: Huh?
Me: He had Lauren, but they split. Besides, he likes you more. Be glad she's nice. I could have made her a complete bitch. You keep complaining and I'll change that!
Bella: Fine. Can I go?
Me: Just one more thing. Readers want another lemon. When will they get it?
Bella: *sighs* Very soon.
