Chapter 7
Authors note: Here it is!
BPOV
The next morning I awoke before Edward and his arms were around me. I carefully removed his arms and went to take a shower after being in the woods last night, while I was in the shower and the hot water was pouring over my face my mind got the best of me and I started thinking about what Edward said last night. All the expectations business was all different, I think I would be okay with it, but I'm not so sure about how this relationship would go. I know that I pretty much love this man and want to try, but because I'm all new to this maybe we could take it slow. After about 15 minutes I wrapped up and got out of the shower. All of the thoughts I had before I pushed out of my mind because the one thing I was actually gunna concern myself for the day was dinner at Edwards parents.
When I exited the bathroom, Edward was still sound asleep, I took that opportunity to get dressed and finish getting ready. I wanted to look nice for Edwards parents so I did my hair nice now so Edward didn't think I would be trying to hard to impress them later. I put on the bare minimum for make up because that was my style I suppose. After I was sure I looked good. I again exited the bathroom to see Edward stretching out on the bed. At this angle he looked extremely tall. Yes he is 12 inches taller than me. But it was really noticeable at this angle and I couldn't help but laugh.
"Good morning sleepy head." I said as I chuckled.
"Mornin'. did you sleep good?" Edward asked as he got out of bed.
"Well you bed is the comfiest I have ever slept in so I would say I slept fantastically!" I said as I walked over to him and we kissed. But this kiss was not a good one.
"Haha go brush your teeth, I can taste the morning breath." I said in disgust.
"Haha Bell you kissed me!" Edward said as he went to the bathroom to get ready and brush his teeth I would hope!
"I'm going to go make breakfast, anything special you want?" I asked before I went to the kitchen.
"Anything made with love! My Bell." Edward said in a voice that was clear that he was brushing his teeth.
"Okay!" I said as I went to the kitchen. Anything made with love really narrows it down. I looked through the pantry and eventually settled on getting bacon and eggs from the fridge because it was quick and easy. After I was done cooking I set up everything in the breakfast nook and just as I sat sown Edward startled me from behind.
"Oh, shit! You scared me!" I said. He really did scare me. I expected him to come through the kitchen.
"Don't swear my love, ruins a pretty face." he said as he kissed my forehead. I didn't really know what to say so I started to eat.
"This looks absolutely delicious. Did you make it with love?" he asked jokingly.
"I always do!" I said as I smiled.
"Mm just as good as it looks. So tonight is dinner at my parents. You know what time we need to leave but I wanna leave a little earlier because my mom called and asked me to pick her up some stuff from the super market." He said.
"Okay, I don't think it will take too long for me to get ready anyways." I said.
We continued to eat our breakfast and had more conversations about meaningless things. I love how we can talk about anything and everything and it wont change a thing. Well for the most part.
The rest of the day flew by and before I knew it we were on our way to his parents house. They lived further away, so we had a nice car ride. We also went to the super market and Edward bought some spices and paper towels for his mother. He's a sweet man. I bet I will like his mother, because she seemed to raise him right.
"Before we get there I just wanted to tell you that make sure you call my mother Esme, and not , she will rip your head off." Edward said kidding around.
"I'll be sure to do that. One quick question, is there a certain way I should act?" I asked, I didn't want to get in trouble.
"Just act the way you always do, and if you start to misbehave I'll let you know." he said as he smiled. I think that he liked that I was trying.
We pulled up to a gated driveway that went up a hill. I couldn't see the house yet but by the sounds of it I could tell it was going to be nice. The Cullen house finally came into view. It was monstrous, like 3 times bigger than Edwards house and I thought that was big! It even had a small pond in the front with jets of water coming from them. There was 1 car in the driveway it was a black escalade, I wondered if it was his parents or one of his brothers. But my best guess was one of his brothers because they had a 4 car garage. I bet Esme and Carlisle's cars are in there.
"Relax Bella, they will like you." Edward said ar he squeezed my had for reassurance.
"I hope!" I said as he came around to my side to open my door. Edward is a gentleman, ladies first mine as well be tattooed on his forehead. After he let me out he got the two bags of materials Esme needed. We came to the front door, and Edward opened it and we were in a small hallway before Edward led me to the kitchen where Esme and another woman was cooking.
"Hello mom, and Alice." Edward said.
"Hi Eddie, its so nice to see you! This must be Bella!" Esme said excitedly as she hugged Edward and then came over to me.
"Hello, I'm Bella, its nice to meet you." I said as she gave me a hug, I returned the hug to be polite.
"Hi Bella! I'm Alice. I have heard so much about you! Sit, lets chat I'm sure we are going to be great friends! And just so you know I am married to Edwards brother Jasper. He's a sweetheart! You will like him he's the one with the long hair. So enough about me! Where are you from?" Alice said not skipping a beat. Edward was right she's a ball of energy!
"Alice honey let Bella breathe!" Esme said, while she opened the oven to take out a big chicken that must of took hours to prepare.
"Edward, the men are in the bar if you want to join them." Esme added informatively.
Edward walked over to me and set down the bags and whispered to me.
"You will be alright, ill see you in the dining room later." He said as he kissed my forehead.
"Bella, I must say its nice after hearing so much about you its nice to place a face with the name. Edward has had nothing but good things to say." Esme told me.
"And the same with you. I'm also glad I am able to meet Edwards family, You raised a good man." I said.
"Thank you, My husband and I are proud to see the men that our boys have turned into." Esme said.
"So Alice, Edward says you like to shop?" I asked
"My favorite thing to do! We should go sometime next week! I'll ask Jasper if we can go on Friday! It will be so much fun. Have you ever been to the Port Angeles Mall?" she asked. I was starting to wonder what I was getting myself into.
"I have school on Friday until about 11. But after that we can go. It sounds like a fun time!" I said.
"Esme why don't you join us!" Alice asked excitedly.
"I would love to, but I think I'm going to pass. I have make pies all day for the bake sale at the hospital." Esme said.
"Next time for sure!" Alice replied. Just as Alice finished her sentence, I heard a door slam which is what I assumed to be the front door. After that I heard a woman yelling.
"Damn it Emmet! Do you have to be such an ass all the time!" The woman yelled. She seemed very angry.
"Rosalie! Watch you language I will not tell you again! And give me your phone I don't want you playing on it all through dinner." The mad said calmly yet sternly.
"Take the phone I don't care." The woman said a little quieter.
"Bella, I am sorry you had to hear that she can be a little hot headed." Esme said. A moment later the two people were walking through the arch that lead to the kitchen.
"Hello Mommy!" A bigger man said as he walked over to Esme and gave her a bear hug.
"Oh Emmet! Its good to see you." Esme said.
"Hi You must be Bella! I'm Emmet Edwards baby brother. And this is my wife Rose." Emmet said.
"It's nice to meet you guys. Yes, I am Bella." I said as I smiled at them. After that Emmet left the kitchen and I assumed joined the men, while us women were in the kitchen talking about food. A few minutes later us four carried the food out to a large table. One thing I noticed is that rose didn't say much. She barely acknowledged my presence.
"Do I smell food!" Emmet said as he practically ran into the dining room getting a seat right in front of the chicken.
Everyone sat down and everyone was having heir own side conversations. But another thing I noticed was that all the men were talking while the women talked to each other. I was eating some of my food but I wasn't really that hungry, even though I skipped lunch. After another five minutes Edward leaned over and whispered to me
"Eat more my love, you skipped lunch." Edward said.
"I'll try." I said as I smiled at him. When we were done the main meal I was introduced to Edwards father Carlisle and younger brother Jasper. Jasper seemed pretty cool, and so did his father. Although Carlisle was a little more intimidating. But it was my first time meeting him so I expected that. After dinner I offered to help Esme clean up. So we took the dishes and finished them within a half of an hour. While Alice and Rose cleaned the actual kitchen itself. Edward waltzed in just as we finished cleaning.
"That was an amazing meal mom. Thank you." Edward said as he hugged his mom.
"Oh Eddie. I love cooking for our family. Its like a passion." Esme admitted.
"I never go home hungry, but I think its time Bella and I leave. Ill call you tomorrow." Edward said as he wrapped his arm around my waist. I said my good byes and we were out the door.
"I really like your family. They are all so nice." I said to Edward once we got into the car.
"They all seem to like you too. See my love, you had nothing to worry about!" he said as he held my hand with one hand and the other on the wheel.
"I know. I let my thoughts get the better of me." I admitted.
We drove for about twenty minutes talking about dinner and how well it went.
"Alice told me you guys might go shopping on Friday. I'm okay with that. Stop by my house before you go and I'll give you money." Edward said
"Are you sure? I have money." I told him.
"Bella, I want to pay. It makes me feel like I'm taking care if you, I like that feeling." He admitted.
"Well if you insist. I'll stop by around 11:30." I told him.
"11:30? Wont you be in school? I don't want you skipping classes." He said.
"No, I have most of my credits so I get out at 11 everyday, senior privileges." I told him.
"Oh. I see. That makes sense you're a smart woman." He said as he smiled at me.
Before I knew it we were back at Edwards house. I was going to stay another night so I texted Charlie to let him know. Charlie believes that I am 18 so he doesn't have the power to keep me home anymore, but out of respect he wants to know where I am. A few minutes later Charlie texted me back said okay. Before I knew it 10:00 came around and Edward and I were watching TV in the main living room while there was a small fire in the fire place.
"Bella, it's 10:00. I think you should go to bed you have school tomorrow." Edward said.
"I'm not that tired, maybe more TV will help me fall asleep." I said as I snuggled closer to him.
"Okay, I'll let you stay up. But if your tired in the morning I won't feel sorry for you." he laughed as he kissed my forehead. We laid there for what seemed like hours it was a nice feeling. A feeling of falling asleep next to the person you love. And the person I love is Edward Cullen.
