Chapter 11

Taking the Plunge

EPOV

"God Edward, please." She looks at me through her eyelashes, pleading with her eyes.

"You like that Bella? I just want to make you happy." Her naked body is splayed out beneath me, as I press my erection into her stomach. I want her to feel what she does to me.

"Ungh, Edward you are so hard." She pants "Please, I need to feel you inside of me, I can't take this anymore." Her tiny hand starts caressing my long hard member.

"Uhhh Bella…Fuck…that feels...." I look up at her face, she is so beautiful. She opens her mouth to say something, but it isn't right. There is a buzzing sound coming from her. What the hell. Every time Bella tries to speak the buzzing continues.

I rollover and groan as I realize it is my damn alarm clock.

Fuck! I forgot I have Lauren Mallory's appointment at ten this morning. That is one of the draw backs of being a Vet. I have to work Saturday's. I throw the covers back to get out of bed, when I realize I have some unfinished business down stairs.

I have dreamt of Bella every night since meeting her. I always wake up the same way; with a raging hard-on. I feel like an adolescent boy with all of the jacking off I have been doing lately.

Walking into the bathroom, I turn the shower on and remove my boxers. The warmth of the water just intensifies the hard-on I have. I grab the bottle of shampoo, squeeze some into my hair, then I squeeze some more shampoo onto my hand and grab my cock and slowly start moving up and down. I can feel my release building, all I can see is Bella staring at me, biting her lip and her fucking shiny ass hair. My rhythm is picking up, as I head to the release I so desperately need.

Bella blushing.

Ok that did it. I finally reach my plateau, my heart is racing, I am panting "Ughh oh god Belllaaa!" My knees go weak…I have to prop my hand on the shower wall for support as I try to regain composure. Boy Cullen, you have got it bad when something as innocent as a girl blushing can push you over the edge. I chide myself.

I finish up the rest of my shower, dry off, get dressed and head downstairs.

Esme is in the kitchen as I take a seat at the breakfast bar, she hands me a glass of juice. I know I royally screwed up last night. I need to make it right with Bella. The way she looked at me cut me to the bone. I do not ever want her to look at me with disappointment again. I only want to make her happy.

"Edward? Dear, what is the matter?" Esme's gentle voice coos.

"Mom, I think I really messed things up last night." I lay my head against the counter top.

"What happened? Did you not have a good time on your date?" She asks inquisitively.

"Ugh… No, I had a horrible time. Let's just say that I could not get Jessica home fast enough. That is not the issue." I sigh and roll my head back and forth on the counter top.

"Edward, what happened?" I can hear the concern in her voice.

I let out a long sigh and look up at my mom while running my fingers through my unruly hair…it never does what I want it to do. "Well, I kind of ran into the girl I have had an interest in for some time now. It turns out that Jessica and this girl have a how do I say this…… a not so nice history." I shake my head as I remember the way Bella looked at me last night. "Mom, the way she looked at me when she saw me with Jessica, it literally broke my heart. This is the first time I have had feelings like this since Tanya." I glance back down at my hands.

"Dear, I know what happened between you and Tanya almost destroyed you, it is perfectly normal for you to be scared. But you can't let one bad experience ruin all the good ones that may come, sounds like to me this girl, whom ever she may be, is worth putting some effort into. You will do the right thing, son, you always do." Esme pats my hand and turns back to the stove to finish up breakfast.

At that moment I realize that she is right, I need to make a sincere gesture, show Bella I am interested. "Mom, I am going to run to town for a sec, I will be back before Lauren shows up at ten." I hurriedly grab my keys and run to my car.

I speed into town and stop at the first flower shop I can find, the sign outside reads Grace's Flowers and Gifts. I walk into the shop; it has a very homey atmosphere. Behind the counter is an attractive elderly couple.

"Hello son, how can I help you today?" The older lady smiles genuinely from the counter.

"I need to have some flowers delivered to a very special lady." I say as I return her smile.

"I think we can help you with that…This young lady, is she someone you care deeply about?" She lightly taps me on my hand knowingly.

"Yes ma'am I do believe she will be at some point." I look up at her.

"Well, let's see. I think roses would be fitting, maybe red and white. Red roses are the traditional symbol for love and romance. White roses symbolize purity, innocence and secrecy."

"That is absolutely perfect, thank you so much!" The roses' colors say exactly what I want to convey to Bella.

I pay the flower lady and hand her the address for the delivery and sign the card. I return to my car and start my way back to home.

I hope I do not scare her by being so forward. I had heard Esme and Carlisle talk about how Bella had been through a bad marriage and then divorce. I tried not to act interested, but frankly I am interested in anything that has to do with Bella. I want to know how someone could be so careless with her heart and break something so fragile. I just want to take all of her pain away so she does not have to carry it anymore.

I pull behind the house into the garage and get out of the car. I walk towards the clinic where my first appointment of the day is waiting, Lauren Mallory.

**********************************************************************************************************************************************

EPOV

I go from appointment to appointment, trying hard to forget my first appointment of the day with Lauren. The girl shamelessly flirted the whole time I was examining her horse, she even went as far as to push her tits almost directly into my face. Not that Lauren was not attractive… she is just not Bella. I thought of nothing but her the whole day, some how I do not feel the flowers will be enough. I need to hear her voice. I feel like I also need to apologize for last night.

After I conclude my last appointment, I go into the office area and pull Bella's file, I know I really shouldn't get her phone number this way, but desperate times cause for desperate measures. I take my cell phone from my pocket.

Should I? What if she does not want to talk to me? What if she hangs up? Why am I a being such a pussy? Just dial the damn number!

I punch in the numbers on the key pad and wait….one ring…..two rings….and then I hear her angelic voice. It is like sugar and spice and everything nice.

"Hello."

God she sounds like she is in the middle of something. She is going to hang up I just know it. Say something you moron.

"Bella? Is that you? This is Edward, Edward Cullen."

Original! Real smooth Cullen! Why is she not talking, fuck she is going to hang the phone up.

"Bella are you there?"

"Uh yea I am here. Sorry about that I was just in the middle of something." I can hear her breath as she exhales in and out. Oh God! I have interrupted a date. I am such a freaking fool!

"If this is a bad time…..you can call me back or I can call back when it is convenient for you." That's it Edward, give her an out, so she doesn't have to humiliate you by hanging up the phone.

"NO! Um, I mean no Edward it is fine. I am just cooking myself some dinner. "

Wait! She said she was only cooking herself dinner. So that means she is alone. SCORE!

"Oh…….Bella, I just wanted to call and apologize for last night. It was an awkward situation all the way around and I did not want you to get the wrong impression of me."

"Don't worry about it…Really. How were you to know that your date single handily gave crabs to the entire varsity football team back in high school?" I can't help but laugh, it is quite amusing hearing her talk like that about Jessica.

"Well it sure would have been nice if I would have known that beforehand. I was just glad I was able to drop her off without her dragging me kicking and screaming into her house." I hear the tinkling sound of her giggle on the other end.

"Oh Edward, I wanted to thank you for the roses they are beautiful. You know this is actually the first time I have ever had flowers delivered to my house before. It was nice. Thanks again." For some reason I believe she is blushing, I shake my head. She can make me smile even over the phone.

"It was my pleasure Bella. I find it hard to believe that some one as beautiful as you has never had flowers delivered to her before. I just really wanted you to know that YOU have made an impression on me." Holy Hell did I really just say that! What has come over me, it is like my mouth has a mind of its own!

"Edward, I am going to be honest with you." I detect a hint of nervousness in her voice. Here it comes Edward she is going to let you down easy. Don't cry!

"The first time I met you, I felt a connection, almost like a spark. I don't know if you felt it too. But it mesmerized me. Frankly I haven't been able to get you off of my mind since then."

Huh? What? Did she really just say that? I think my heart just burst from my chest.

"Bella you have no idea how happy that makes me. I have felt the same exact way." I am beaming right now. This woman is going to be the death of me I just know it.

"Really?" She coos into the phone.

"Yes, Bella really! That actually brings me to the real reason for this phone call. I want to know if there is any possibility you would like to go grab some dinner with me tomorrow night?"

That's it. Let's get this show on the road! Thank you mamma Esme for the pep talk!

"Edward as much I would love to go to dinner with you. I have a prior engagement for tomorrow night. But we are going to see each other Monday when you come out to my mother's. Can we maybe make plans then?"

Did she just turn me down? I think my heart just fell on the floor. Hold on she did say that we could talk Monday and make plans. So it is not a total rejection. I can work with that.

"Sure Bella that sounds great. But I won't say that I am not disappointed, I truly had my heart set on seeing you tomorrow. But I have waited this long for you. What is one more day in the scheme of things, right?"

I meant every word I said. It feels like she is my missing puzzle piece, waiting one more day will not matter. Because I do not plan on letting her go ever, once I have her.

"Edward you have no idea how true that statement really is."

I just passed out, I see stars. She feels the same. Thank you Lord Jesus!

"Until Monday then?" I can wait knowing that she wants to see me as much as I need to see her.

"Until Monday, Edward." And with that she hangs up.
