Chapter 9:

Authors note: One thing I noticed is that I do not have a set day when I update. And as far as I know that won't change. The thing is I get an idea and I write it, so expect more than one update a day or none for a week. Thanks again here it is!

BPOV

I waited until about 7 o'clock after that I decided to pull out my computer and check emails and what not. That kept me busy for about 15 minutes until I realized I'm pretty much stuck here until 8. The thought about what might happen kind of scared me but at the same time. I was thinking that he cares enough to make sure I ate breakfast. Once I looked past on how absurd this whole ordeal is, it was kind of sweet. I know if people were to look at this situation and have me call it sweet is beyond concerning. But I can't help how I feel. It is what it is, you could say.

More time passed and it was 7:45 I was actually starting to nervous. What was going to happen? I did not know, but I had a feeling I was not going shopping on Friday. But I didn't care about that at the moment. All I cared about was what is going to happen in fifteen minutes. I kept looking at the clock. And then I thought maybe if I just apologize nothing will happen and it will be like I ate breakfast this morning. But before I could come to terms on what I should say Edward walked in the door. He closed the door and sat by me on the bed. But he said something that confused me.

"Isabella. I just want to say I love you." He said. I didn't know what to say. He waited until 8 o'clock to say that he loved me. This didn't make sense. There must be an if, and, or but somewhere in this lecture or speech.

"But, I want you to understand that I want the best for you and making sure you get three meals a day, brushing your teeth morning and night, are the little things that I want to make sure you do to better yourself and your health. I know this ordeal may seem ridiculous to you but I wanted you to know where I'm coming from." He admitted to me.

"Another thing is I want to know your opinion on this and give you a chance to speak. But before you do, raising your voice and swearing will not get you anywhere." Edward said. I sat there for a minute. I contemplated what to say. A part of me wanted to be like 'who the fuck do you think you are my dad?' but another part of me saw where he was coming from and realized that he did have a point in all of this.

"Well, the way I handled your reaction when I told you I skipped was uncalled for, so I am sorry for that. But I am not sorry for skipping because I like to be punctual to all my classes and just so you know I have perfect attendance at school." I said.

"I agree you attitude was not necessary. And I wish you would understand that skipping breakfast the most important meal of the day is bad for your health, and next time at least take a granola bar with you." Edward said. Giving me a hug.

"I'll be sure to do that." I said hugging him back. Well that wasn't so bad. I waited an hour and a half for this!

"One more thing before this is over though." Edward said. Damn, spoke too soon.

"What's that?" I asked, not really wanting an answer to that question.

"I will not tolerate your attitude. You gave it to me this morning and again this evening. I don't want to have to constantly remind you to watch your attitude. So for that reason I am going to have to give you a spanking." Edward said not missing a beat. I was shocked. I didn't know what to say.

"Oh." I said in a short reply.

"Isabella, it's for the best. The only way a problem will go away is to fix it. So I am going to ask you bend over my knee so we can get this over with. I don't like it any more than you do." Edward said guiding me over his lap. I cant even remember the last time I got spanked. It must have been at least 10 or 11 years ago.

"Okay Isabella, your getting ten swats so be good and try to keep still so I don't have to add more." he said taking down my pants. I reached back to stop him as a first instinct but he grabbed my hands and pinned them behind my back.

The first swat was defiantly the worst. His had came crashing down hard and I yelped in pain. I was balling my eyes out by the third slap. It seemed babyish, for balling but I couldn't help it. He was not going easy, and this spanking hurt. But then again it was suppose to. By the fifth slap I was crying begging his to stop. I tried to keep still so I wouldn't get any more. I was defeated by the eighth slap. I couldn't contain myself I was just limp over his lap. The actual spanking only lasted about three minutes but it seemed like three hours. When it was all over and done with Edward pulled my pants back up and held me in his lap. No words were spoken I just cried into his chest and he held me. After about five minutes of that he laid me on the bed and grabbed some pj's for me. I put them on and I fell asleep in his arms.

The next morning I awoke before Edward because I was making sure I ate breakfast! I got myself ready and had a bagel and cream cheese. I'll have to ask Edward if he wants me to go grocery shopping for him. He seems to have no time to do it. And since I get out of school early it might be easier.

10 minutes later Edward was downstairs getting a cup of coffee and cereal. When the topic of last night came up. I already had the reminder of my still stinging back side. I don't want to talk about it.

"Bella, you took your punishment very good last night. I'm proud of you." he said taking my hand.

"I don't know how to respond to that, so thank you." I said slightly laughing.

"Also I meant it last night when I said I love you. I really do. I have never met a woman like you in my entire life. Your love for literature, and great sense of humor. I adore and you being very beautiful is just an added bonus!" Edward said.

"I can honestly say I fell the same way about you. I love you Edward. I couldn't ask for a better man. I know you actually care a lot about me." I said.

"I will always care about you Bella." he said.

"As will I." I said. After that I looked at the clock on the stove and thought I should be going. I don't like to be late.

"I have to get to school. Oh I almost forgot, do you want me to go grocery shopping after school? I have time." I asked.

"If you don't mind thank you. Here is my card. Buy what you want." he said as he kissed me and walked me to my truck.

The rest of the day was good. I went to the guidance office today and I was told I will be able to graduate by the end of the semester. I was excited for that. I could move on to the real world! I went to the store after school and bought what I though we needed. And some desert because I noticed Edward doesn't have a lot of sweets. So I bought Little Debbie snack cakes.

"I drove to Edwards home and put away the groceries, and checked my email. Nothing new. I couldn't wait to tell Edward the news about my graduation. I would be off from high school in about two and a half weeks. And I would also graduate with high honors. Which is a plus.

Edward arrived home at 5. He noticed the little Debbie snack cakes as soon as he went into the kitchen. He started to open one but I stopped him, because I was making dinner and it would almost be finished.

"One snack won't ruin dinner my love!" he said joking around. He put down the cake and helped me finish dinner. We decided that it would be better off eating at the bar in the kitchen. So that's what we did.

"I have great news!" I said.

"Really? What is it!" Edward said.

"I went to my guidance director today and she said that I have enough credits to graduate and can graduate at the end of the semester." I said proudly.

"That's great! We will have to celebrate. I'm taking you on a vacation! Wherever you want to go. Hot, cold, you choose!" Edward said.

"That sounds like a blast! I want to go somewhere warm. But lets plan it together." I said with the biggest smile on my face.

"Anything for you love." Edward said.

We finished dinner and we both decided to read in the library. We were picking books and when we sat down Edward asked me a question.

"You know Bella, you spend an awful lot of time here, why don't you just move in?" he asked. We have only been dating a month. But like I have said before and will say again I love him and spending all my days and nights with him would make me truly happy.

"Your right! I think this will be a great step in our relationship." I said getting closer to him.

Instead of reading the book I picked out I asked Edward to read to me. I don't really remember what the book was called but it was about a war hero trying to find his way home to his wife and daughter. He barley made it past chapter three and I was asleep. Yet again I fell asleep in the arms of the man I loved.

The rest of the week was boring school home, school home. My week turned from boring to good by Saturday because that was the day Edward and I move in together. We went to my house and broke the news to Charlie and Sue. They were happy for me and Edward. I think my dad genuinely liked Edward. Which I was glad for. And as for sue she likes everyone. Not a bad thing to say about anyone. We boxed all of my things and we only had to make one trip with Edwards car and my truck together, that really made things easier. Edward and I split the closet the right side is his and the left side is mine. And we shared the middle. I had two draws in the bathroom and a place to put all of my hair styling tools. I didn't use them often but I liked that fact that I had them just in case.

All of my books found their way to the library. And everything was settled by dinner time. After a day of moving we decided that we were too tired to cook and ordered a pizza. Edward went to get the pizza while I put away the boxes in the basement. I only once went inside the basement. And that was the first day I came to Edwards house and hew gave me a tour. The basement was obviously finished. And it was like another living room. Plus exercise equipment. After I finished I went back upstairs and relaxed on the couch.

Edward came back with the pizza soon enough. And also brought some chips to go along with it. The pizza was from the towns only pizza parlor, called Hanks Pizza. The pizza was half pepperoni and half mushroom pepper. We ate all of it between us but it was only a ten inch so it was not like we over ate.

The next day was Sunday. We went about our usual routine for the day leaving early enough to get to Edwards parent house for Sunday dinner.

We drove up the large driveway and we were the first people to arrive. I went to the kitchen to see if Esme needed any help.

"Hi Esme its nice to see you." I said as we hugged. that's the thing I liked about Edward family, they were all so close. And I hoped to be close with his family someday too.

"Hello Bella. I'm glad you could come!" She aid returning the hug.

"Come here Eddie." Esme said as she hugged Edward and kissed his forehead. It was funny for two reasons. One being that she called him Eddie and the other being Edward had to crouch at least a foot so she could kiss his forehead.

"Your dad is in his study, go let him know you're here." Esme said as Edward exited the room.

"Bella, Edward has told me you guys have recently moved in together?" She asked.

"Yes, we decided early this week and moved everything in yesterday. I didn't have much stuff left at home so the move was fairly quick." I told her.

"I'm so glad you make my son happy. Bella I have a feeling you are the one. But don't tell Edward I told you that!" she said as she giggled. I just giggled along because I didn't know how to react to 'me being the one'.

I helped Esme take things out of the oven and that's when Alice and Jasper arrived.

"Hello Mom. Dinner smells nice." Jasper said giving his mom a hug and quickly exiting the room while Alice stayed and helped us set the table.

"Hi Esme and Bella! Its such a nice November day! I expect snow to come by Tuesday! I cant wait for Christmas we should all get together and go Christmas shopping!" Alice said excitedly.

'Well that sound like a nice idea. Maybe we can set up something in about two weeks." Esme said.

"I look forward to it." I said. Because I wanted to get to know Alice I thought we could be great friends. Dinner was set and we all sat down and ate. But I noticed that Emmet and Rose were missing I wonder where they went but I spoke to soon.

"Sorry we are late mom and dad. Rose thought that a pedicure was more important than dinner with the family." Emmet said sarcastically.

"Stop being an ass I had that appointment for a week. I couldn't cancel." Rose said. She seemed pretty bitchy, then I noticed Edward rolled his eyes. This seems like a usual thing for her.

Dinner was good and this time Esme mad Apple pie for dessert. It was very yummy. I'll be sure to ask her for the recipe before I leave. After everything was finished Alice and I helped Esme clean while rose sat at the bar and doing god knows what on her phone. It kind of made me mad that she showed up to a family event late and dosent even offer to help clean up. I am going to ask Edward about her later.

When we were done cleaning, Edward came in and announced we were leaving. Edward said his goodbyes and I was saying mine.

"Good-bye It was nice to see you guys, looking forward to next week." I said hugging Alice and Esme goodbye. Then I looked over at Rose who didn't even look up from her phone.

"Bye Rose." I said.

"Oh. Bye." she said all snotty. Edward grabbed my waist and we left for the car.

When we were in the car I started talking to Edward about how bitchy Rose comes off as.

"What was Roses problem today?, she seemed really bitc- snotty." I asked Edward. Catching myself.

"Haha nice save. And yeah she was all mad because Emmet came in the middle of her pedicure and forced her to come to dinner. One thing lead to another and he had to drag Rose to dinner kicking and screaming." Edward said.

"I want to try and get to know her. But it seems impossible with her constant 'I'm better than everyone alive' attitude." I said.

"Haha, Love you don't have to force a friendship with Rose. I wont be offended if you hated her. I'm not a big fan of her myself. I don't know how my brother puts up with her." Edward said

"Well there must be something about her! But I guess we will never know." I said as Edward grabbed my hand.

We drove home and immediately I wanted to go to bed I was tired! So we snuggled until we fell asleep. And that night I had a nightmare and to me it seemed like the worst nightmare I could have had at this point in my life. I found Edward in bed with another woman the thought of that scared me and I woke up with tears in my eyes. I'm glad Edward didn't wake up to see me with those tears. But after that nightmare I realized I don't want to loose him. Ever. Yes, he may be a little too over protective of me at times but like he said he cares a lot about me. And to me that means a lot. It means enough for me to love him even though he has a dominant side to him and I might not know how dominant that side might be.
