SM OWNS TWILIGHT
To Love Again Ch. 16
EPOV
Saturday evening, I found myself at Bella's house.
My mom not so subtly told me to get my ass to Bella's house if I knew what was good for me. I didn't think twice about it. I got my keys and ran out the door. I pushed the Rover well over 80 when the coast was clear.
I didn't have a plan or anything. I just wanted to see her.
I missed her way too fucking much.
So, here I was standing on her porch to chicken shit to ring the doorbell. My mind bombarded me with all the negative scenarios that could happen between Bella and me.
What if she was with this Jake, motherfucker? Then what?
Fuck it. Now or never. I pushed the button.
I held my breath until the door opened, and it was not who I had expected to come to the door. It was an older-looking man; maybe late forty's, thick mustache and a strong build from what I could tell. The only thing that told me that Bella wasn't screwing an old guy is that he had Bella's eyes. The same chocolate color. Fuck my life. I think it's her dad! Isn't he, a cop or something?
He stared me down. "You must be Edward." He spoke gruffly. I gulped.
"Y-yes sir." I put one hand in my pocket; the other traitorous one went straight to me hair letting this man know that I was nervous.
"I'm Bella's dad." He squared his shoulders. "You and I need to have a talk before I go home tomorrow. Make sure you free up some time." He ordered. I nodded.
He led me into the foyer and turned around to call Bella.
My beautiful girl came around the corner. Her eyes widened when she saw me and the next thing I knew she's jumping into my arms and crying uncontrollably. I hold her tight and rub her back. I look over her head, and Bella's dad is in the living room glaring at me and pacing. There is a woman with him trying to calm him down, I assume she's Bella's mom. She looks over at me with a sad smile. She knows I've hurt her daughter, but she doesn't want to hate me. At least, I hope not.
"I'm so sorry, Edward." Bella whispers but she doesn't look at me. I shake my head.
"No, baby you have nothing to be sorry for. I'm the one that's sorry. We just really need to talk."
I see Bella's mom walk over to us. She places a hand on Bella's shoulder. "Bella, honey why don't you guys go into the kitchen or your room…" Bella steps back and wipes at her eyes.
"Yeah, sorry. Um…mom this is Edward." She pats my chest, and I hold her hand. "Edward this is my mom…I think you met my dad Charlie…" She looks up at me sheepishly. I nod and give her a scared look. She giggles. I've missed that. Her smile.
"It's a pleasure to meet you Mrs. Swan." I smile and shake her hand.
She waves me off. "Please call me Renee." She turns to Bella. "Daddy and I will make ourselves scarce, baby. Go talk." She smiles at us and walks away.
Bella turns to look at me. "Um…we can go talk in my room; we'll have more privacy there."
"Yeah sure. Whatever you want." I hold her hand, and she leads me down the hall to her room.
I close the door behind me, and she tells me to lock it. I turn around, and she's making herself comfortable on the bed; she looks nervous.
She pats the empty side of the bed. "Come sit with me." She leans on her pillow and crosses her legs.
I join her and I suddenly feel nervous like her, but I know why I'm here. I came for answers—whatever they may be. I need to know.
"What's going on Bella?" I ask, trying not to show how hurt I am. I want to give her a chance to explain everything.
She takes a deep breath and lets it out slowly. I hold her hand and squeeze it for reassurance.
"It's so fucked up Edward." She shakes her head and looks up at me. Her eyes well up with tears, and she's close to losing it again. "I don't know why I let it get this far. I'm so sorry." I have no fucking clue what she's actually talking about. I need her to be more specific.
"Are you with this guy Bella?" As much as it hurts, I have to ask. I don't want to, but I have to know.
I don't fucking share, and she knows it.
"What? No!" she cries. "See how screwed up this is? I can't even explain myself right." She wipes her eyes because some tears have escaped.
"Okay…so explain it to me. I'm here to listen." I encourage.
"Jake is my ex and he's fucking delusional! He sent me that text… and I haven't even seen him, since we broke up…And I was so pissed at you that you would think I was with someone else." I cringed at that. I knew I had hurt her, and I have no excuse for reacting the way I did, "So…I just wanted some time to myself, to think and to deal with Jake…" She turned her whole body toward me, so she could look straight into my eyes. "But I was so miserable that whole time. I was hurt and yet I wanted to be with you. Then I just felt guilty for shutting you out…and I didn't know how to approach you again." She finished softly while she played with my fingers.
Fuck, if my heart didn't hurt with hers. We were both suffering for stupid reasons. I pulled her toward me and hugged her. She buried her face in my neck, and she took deep breaths.
I've never known sweet relief such as this. Bella wasn't really with that douche, and we both acted immaturely in the aftermath.
"I'm sorry I thought the worst, but you have to understand that the text was loud and clear…, and I know. I know. I should have let you explain it to me." She pulled back, and I met her eyes again. "I just really want us to work out and when I thought something threatened my happiness; I lost it. I didn't know what to do."
"I know. Everything was just screwed up, and we let it get out of hand…I let it get out of hand." I reached up and placed my hand on her cheek. My thumb wiped the leftover tears from earlier. "I even got a new phone and new number so that jackass won't bother me…that's another thing; I just let my phone die, and I ignored it until my dad made me go get a new phone." She smiled sheepishly. I chuckled.
"Can I kiss you? I've been waiting to since I got here." I asked as I leaned into her. She responded by crashing her lips against mine. It was rough and needy. I don't remember her tasting this amazing. I never want to go another day without the taste of Bella in my mouth.
I slowly pulled away. "So baby, can I have your new number now?" I grinned at her. She giggled and nodded.
"Give me your phone, I'll call you." I handed over my phone, and she pulled out hers.
"Are you sporting a sparkly phone now?" I laughed.
"Shut it, you. My mom gave me this cover. And I love sparkly stuff—makes stuff extra awesome!" she grinned. I leaned over and kissed her softly. She hummed as we kissed.
"I know you do." I rolled my eyes. "I don't know how many times I had to explain to Nathan that the sparkly stuff on my face wasn't actually mine." I narrowed my eyes at her. Bella loves to wear that girly-sparkly-pink shit on her face, and it always ends up on me. It's not good when you have a kid that wants to know everything.
"I wonder how your penis would look sparkly?" she mused. "Ooh like my vampire books! He's fucking sexy and sparkly." What the fuck? Sparkly vampires? I gave her an incredulous look.
"What the hell have you been reading? And no, you cannot sparkle up my penis; he's manly and rugged." I puffed out my chest because, well; that's manly. She pouted, but I was not gonna give in to this fantasy. Now, if she wanted girl-on-girl action, I would approve…and watch. Down boy! I told my dick, who stood up for attention at the thought of Bella with another girl. At least, I know he approves as well.
"Well you're no fun, Edward. You could have been my sparkly-vampire doctor." She shrugged sadly. I tickled her sides because I knew she was trying hard not to laugh. Sparkly vampires, give me a fucking break! What was my girl into?
Eww I hope that's not the same shit my mom reads! I heard them talking about some book, but I'm not sure. Bella likes to read some dirty shit, I've seen it. I like it—gives her ideas.
Bella and I spent some more time talking. We finally cleared up our shit, and promised each other always to communicate whatever we had going on. She also convinced me that I didn't have to hunt down the motherfucker that sent that text. She said her dad, and his friends from work handled that situation. I was so glad she had her family to help her.
"By the way, babe, your dad's fucking scary…" She groaned and buried her face in my neck. She was currently straddling me, and any tiny movement was torture.
"What did he say? He didn't threaten to kill you did he?" My eyes widened. Shit, that's possible?
"He said he wanted to talk to me tomorrow, maybe that's when he's gonna threaten bodily harm..." She laughed aloud. I scowled at her. That is seriously no laughing matter. Fathers can be cruel.
"I'll talk to him. He won't do anything to you; I promise." She ground her hips and kissed me. I let out a moan.
"Babe, you're killing me here." I growled into her mouth. I tightened my hold on her hips to try to still her movements. "We can't…right now…you're parents are here." I mumbled
"Mmm…but I want you. Come on, we can be quiet." She kissed my neck and snaked her hands under my shirt to pull it up. Her nails felt delicious against my skin, causing little goose bumps to erupt all over. She leaned down and took one of my nipples into her mouth. She bit and licked; she was evil.
"Fuck!" I whisper yelled when she reached into my jeans and held me firmly in her hand. When did she get my pants unzipped? "Maybe we should go into your bathroom." I breathed out. I figured; I wasn't going to deny her or myself anymore, so the master bathroom is the best option right now.
"Oh yeah! I'll let the shower run." She jumped off me and ran to the bathroom. I laughed and followed her in. I dropped my pants, as soon as I closed the door. My dick was hurting from being restrained all this time.
When I turned around Bella was already naked, leaning against the vanity. I rushed to her, and she jumped up and wrapped her legs around my waist. I attacked her neck and nipped at her ear. She moaned in pleasure. I was glad the shower was running.
"I want to feel you inside me. Now." She breathed. I leaned her against the vanity and pulled by boxers down enough to pull out my cock and thrust into her in one swift movement. We both moaned. Fuck she's tight. My eyes practically went to the back of my head; she felt so fucking good. She was so wet and warm; I didn't want to leave this place ever again. One week without her was torture.
Bella arched her back, giving me the perfect angle to take her breast into my mouth. Her nipple was rock hard, and I bit on it lightly. I know she loves that shit. I thrust into her slow and deep while I feasted on her breasts. Her nails were digging into my arms, but I didn't pay attention to the pain. I brought my hands down, below her ass and spread her more for me as she leaned further onto the vanity.
"Oh fuck! That feels good." She panted and threw her head back. "Go faster…Edward." She urged and dug her heels in my ass.
I held her tight and pounded into her. She cried in pleasure at each thrust, with her head thrown back. I missed her so fucking much; I didn't want this to end. I could feel her pussy clenching and sucking me in. I slowed down so I wouldn't lose it, she protested.
"Don't stop, why are you stopping?" she cried.
"I just need to slow down; you haven't even come yet." I told her as I kissed her pouty lips. I pushed in slow but deep. It still felt good; I reached between us and massaged her clit with my fingers.
"Ah! Ah…Edward, go faster I'm almost there." She screamed. I rubbed faster and I moved my hips in a circular motion, going a little faster each time around. Her pussy squeezed me impossibly harder as she reached her climax. Wave after wave hit her, and she convulsed against me, crying out my name. She let out a loud moan as she came crashing down. I kissed her and sucked on her bottom lip as she whimpered quietly. I stroked her tongue with mine, slow and soft.
"Mmmm…I love you Edward." She sighed.
"I love you too, babe." I let her recover before I thrust again, I was ready to release, but I wanted to drag it on a little longer. "Can you stand? I want to take you from behind." I whispered into her ear. She nodded and dropped her legs from my waist. I guided her over to the tub, and she bent over holding on tight.
"Damn baby, I love your ass." I told her as I caressed both cheeks and squeezed them. She wiggled her sexy ass and looked over her shoulder.
"I thought you were gonna take me from behind, what's taking so long?" she smirked. I smacked her ass, and she yelped.
"I'm admiring it, smartass." I held onto her hips and pulled her back roughly, burying myself inside her. "Fuck! It's so fucking deep this way." I rocked into her slow at first working my way up. I caressed her cheeks and then moved my hands up her spine. I reached her hair, and I grabbed onto it. I pulled lightly on it, and Bella moaned, as her head came up, and I thrust in deeper.
"Ed-Edward…so good…aah!" she mewled. I knew she was close again and this time we were gonna come together. I let go of her hair, and I brought my hands back down to her hips. I looked down as my cock disappeared inside of her, it was fucking wet when I pulled it out and slammed back in. "Fuck…fuck…fuuuck!" she cried out and let her head fall further down bringing her ass up further.
I grunted and moaned. She was so fucking hot. I brought my hand up and let my thumb run up and down the crack of her behind. She tensed but didn't protest. I wonder if she's ever had it in here. My thumb stopped at her puckered hole, and I massaged it. She moaned louder, and I knew she would like it. I didn't penetrate; the sensation alone was gonna work for her. She started to clench and convulse; I thrust my hips faster.
"I'm gonna come baby…come with me Bella." I groaned as I slammed into her at a furious pace. Her body pushed forward and I held her back, burying myself inside her again. My balls tightened, ready for release. When I heard that familiar scream, I let go, spilling deep inside her. We both panted, and fought to catch our breaths.
I leaned down and peppered her back with kisses. Slowly, I pulled out and she stood up. I took her into my arms, her body hot and sweaty. "That was fucking good, baby. I missed you so damn much, and I don't mean just the sex; I missed you." I kissed her lips and then her forehead. Her body was Jell-O in my arms. We cleaned up, and I walked her to her bed.
I couldn't stay the night with Bella. As much as I wanted to, I had to get Nathan…and her parents were just down the hall. I contemplated sneaking out through her window to avoid her father, but Bella told me not to be a wuss.
"They're probably not in the house anyway." She said as she stood on her toes to kiss me. "Come on, I'll walk you out." She grabbed my hand and pulled me out of the room.
Just as we turned the corner, her dad was in the living room sitting on the chair closest to the entry. I guess they were in the house after all. Shit, I hope we weren't too loud.
He cleared his throat, and we stopped to look at him. "Edward. Don't forget about our meeting tomorrow." He addressed me.
;"Dad! Stop. We don't need to do this; Edward is an adult not some teenager asking me out." She glared at him. For a minute, he looked properly chastised, but then he recovered.
"Bells, I just wanna talk to him, man to man. No big deal." He shrugged and smiled at her. "Look, I won't even carry my gun." He grinned.
Bella groaned. "Dad. I will disown you if you're mean to him!" she pointed a figure at him, and he held his hands up.
"I promise not to scare him." He looked to me. "I'll have Bella call you for a time tomorrow. G'night." He turned and left the room.
Bella sighed and buried her face in my chest. "My dad is so embarrassing!" I chuckled.
"Well I can't say I hate it. I'm glad he cares enough to try and protect you any way he can." I kissed the top of her head.
"If you ever have a daughter, promise me that you won't be like that." She pleaded. Although, I have never thought of it, I think I would be exactly like Bella's father.
"Babe, I can't promise anything. I know what guys think about, especially teenage ones…and it doesn't get any better as they get older." I chuckled and wiggled my eyebrows.
She slapped my arm. "You're such a perv." She giggled.
"Exactly." I pulled her to me, holding her hips. I kissed her lips softly and looked into her eyes. "If we ever have a daughter…" I kissed her again. "I'm gonna have to lock her up when she turns sixteen…cuz if she looks anything like her mother…" I paused and blew out a breath. "She'll have boys falling for her left and right…,and that's just not acceptable." I smiled and kissed her deeply. When she pulled away, she was blushing. Yes, baby. I want to have a family with you. I want everything with you…
"No. You're not doing that to her…I'll help sneak her out." She jutted her chin out at me. I laughed out loud. We'll see about that. "And…what if…we have a boy?" she asked shyly and then looked up to meet my eyes. I was smiling like it was Christmas morning. If that didn't tell me that she wanted the same things as me, then I don't know what would.
"Oh man, we would have to warn parents all over the world to lock up their daughters." I grinned. "You know Nathan has game already, right? He's in kindergarten, and these little girls are all over him! That's my boy." I said proudly. She laughed and punched my arm.
.
"I'm not gonna have the "What are your intentions with my daughter" discussion, Edward. You can relax." He smirked at me. "Bella will kill me, if I do." He rolled his eyes at his daughter.
I let out a sigh of relief. I don't care how old you are; it's always scary talking to your girl's dad.
Bella had called me early this morning, asking me if I was available at noon. I didn't want to be, but I had no choice in the matter.
"Yeah, what my dad failed to mention is that he wanted to meet with you…but with me and my mom too." She laughed.
"Are you serious?" I asked incredulously. "You're dad's evil. I couldn't sleep last night; I was so worried… I want to make a good impression, since yesterday and last week kind of sucked."
"Don't worry baby. The only opinion that counts is mine, and I already love you."
"I love you too."
When I met up with Bella and her parents, I suggested we go to Lascari's. I know it's Bella's favorite restaurant now, and I wanted to treat her family. Yes, I was kissing major ass.
Currently, we were sitting in a booth, Bella and I on one side, her parents across from us. Let me say, I love Bella's mom. She's quirky and fun to be around. She hasn't let any tension linger around us for one second. I think it's hilarious that she is a complete opposite of Charlie. He's so serious and when he speaks, he gets straight to the point. I also know that he's having fun making me feel uncomfortable. I'm glad I have Bella with me though, because she puts him in his place right away. That's my girl.
"Edward, Bella tells us you're a pediatrician?" Renee asks.
"Uh yeah I work in a private practice and I also specialize in neonatology. I treat babies in the NICU, when I work at he hospital."
"Oh what made you go into that?" she asked.
"I always wanted to do pediatrics, since I started med school, but I chose neonatology after my ex-wife had some complications during her pregnancy that could have affected the baby. I was paranoid and I started researching everything that could happen, and then I just felt like that was what I should be specializing in." I shrugged my shoulders.
"You never told me that…" Bella commented. We were holding hands under the table, and I squeezed her hand. "Was Nathan sick?"
"No nothing happened to Nathan, thank God; he was perfect and healthy when he was born. I made sure they ran the necessary test, and everything cleared." I smiled at her.
"So you're telling us that you were married, and you have kids?" Charlie asked. Up until this point, he was just listening to all of us.
"Yeah, I thought Bella told you guys." I looked over at Bella questioningly. I wasn't upset at her; I was just wondering.
"I didn't have the chance to tell them." She shrugged.
"Please, this one..." Charlie pointed at Bella. "likes to keep things private. We're lucky we got to meet you this weekend." Charlie narrowed his eyes at Bella, and she glared back at him. "I wonder what else you're hiding Bells?" he asked playfully.
She huffed. "Edward is divorced, and he has a five-year-old son, Nathan, who is also in my class." She smiled at her parents. "See, I'm not hiding; it just didn't come up." She huffed. Renee chuckled. "And I'm not pregnant, in case you were wondering mom." She narrowed her eyes at her, and Renee pouted.
"What a shame! You two would make beautiful babies." Her eyes twinkled. Charlie started to choke on nothing all of a sudden. It was pretty hilarious. But I immediately stopped smiling when he gave me a death glare.
"Let's not give them any ideas Renee. I'm too young to be a gramps." He looked pointedly at me and then Bella. She just rolled her eyes. Damn, if she's like this with her dad, I wonder how my daughter will be with me? She would have to take after Bella too right? Fuck, I'm screwed, just like Charlie.
"Oh you know you'll be the first in line to hold your grandbaby. We'll be lucky if you let the rest of us hold him or her." Renee chuckled, and Charlie grumbled.
"All I'm saying is take your time. You guys shouldn't rush into anything. And Edward." He turned to look at me. His look was serious. "I arranged this lunch so my wife and I could get to know you a little better, and we want to make sure that you'll treat our daughter with respect and assure us that she'll be safe with you. I can scare you all I want with my gun and threaten you, but you'll still leave today with my daughter. So all I ask is that you take care of her, because she's precious to me and Renee. I'm sure you can understand, since you're a father…" I gulped and nodded.
"Yes, sir. I completely understand. You're just looking out for your daughter, and I assure you that I'll do my best to take care of her."
"That's all I needed to hear. As long as you know what we expect of you, I can leave at peace knowing that my daughter is in good hands."
Bella sniffled next to me. I looked down, and she was furiously wiping away at her tears. I let go of her hand, and I hugged her close. She buried her face in my side.
"Honey don't cry." Renee crooned, even though her eyes were watery as well. "We love you, and we want the best for you, no matter how old you are."
Bella shook her head and looked up. "I'm not upset mom…I-I'm just thankful for you guys." She looked up at me with a smile. "And I'm thankful for you. You make me feel safe and loved. I never thought I'd have that." She finished as fresh tears ran down her cheeks. I cupped her face with my hands and pecked her lips.
"I love you, Bella." I whispered. "And I'll tell you this in front of your parents," I glanced at Charlie and Renee, "I'm gonna love you forever…because you're it for me. You're my girl, and I'm gonna do my best to always keep you happy." I smiled and kissed her forehead.
Blissfully happy is what you could consider me today.
All night I had feared that Charlie hated me and was gonna give me the hardest time today, but I was wrong. Yeah, sure he asked uncomfortable questions and glared at me every chance he got, but at the end all he wanted was to be reassured that Bella was happy and with someone who was worthy of her. I don't know if he considers me worthy, but I sure do. At least, that's what I'm striving for—of being worthy of her love and beauty.
If I had to get down on my knees and beg her to forgive me yesterday, I would have gladly done it. I'd stop at nothing to have the chance at being with her again.
I meant what I said to her. I'm gonna love her forever.
I know it in my heart.
I know it in my soul.
I would be a fool to ignore those two vital parts of me.
I'd get down on one knee and ask her to marry me today, but I want to do it properly. I want to ask her dad for his blessing, because he deserves that respect, and then I want to get her a ring. One worthy of being on her finger the rest of her life.
We walk out of the restaurant with our bellies full. I'm so much calmer than when we first arrived. Charlie and I have an understanding, and I will keep my word to him. He knows this.
Bella and her mom walk ahead of us, and Charlie takes the opportunity to say one more thing.
"I couldn't say this in front of the girls, and if I don't say it I'm gonna feel like a failure to my daughter." Charlie rambled "It goes without saying really, but if you hurt my daughter, I'll cut your balls off. With a dull knife," He stood there staring at me dead fucking serious.
I nodded. "I understand."
"DAD! Are you threatening him?" Bella shrieked from across the parking lot. There was no way she could have heard him. I must have looked scared shitless. "Unbelievable. We got through lunch perfectly fine without you trying to scare him." She huffed as she walked back to us.
"Bells I don't know what you're talking about." He smiled sweetly at her. "I was just telling Edward that we should go fishing one of these days, and he said he wasn't sure because he gets sea sick. Right Edward?"
"Um-"
Bella cut me off. "Edward owns a boat, dad. Try again." She tapped her foot.
"Ok, I threatened to hurt him, NOT kill him. There's a difference." He defended. "It's like dad code. I had to tell him something."
"Are you done being ridiculous Charlie? We have to get going." Renee rolled her eyes and crossed her arms.
"Fine. Let's go."
Renee and Bella embraced for a long time before Renee turned to me and almost squeezed the life out of me.
"Take care of my baby, you hear?" I nodded at her.
We waved goodbye as they pulled out of the parking lot.
"Well I survived meeting your parents." I put my arm around Bella's shoulder and kissed the side of her head. She snuggled into me.
"My dad liked you." She said softly.
"I know he did, baby."
I drive her home, and when she invites me in, I make love to her.
Thanks for reading!
