I DO NOT OWN TWILIGHT OR THE CHARACTERS.
A/N AT END.
BPOV
I was awoken by sweet kisses against my shoulder and fingers softly running up and down my hip. I smiled and slowly opened my eyes.
"Good morning, Bella." Edward's sleepy voice whispered against my ear.
"Morning." I mumbled and turned to look at him. "It's time for us to get up, already?"
"It is… but we do have a little time before we actually have to get out of bed." He smirked at me and kissed my lips.
"Well, I like the sound of that." I said and hitched my leg over his. Edward laid on his back, bringing me to rest on top of him. I began kissing along his neck and his hands were kneading my behind. I moved my way down and felt the tip of his hard erection against me. Edward brought his fingers to my wetness and began to slowly, stroke me up and down. He grabbed hold of his cock, positioning it at my entrance and I slowly sank down onto him.
BANG BANG BANG
I yelped and we stilled all of our movements.
"Edward, Bella! Get up!" Rose shouted. I laughed and saw Edward rolling his eyes.
"You're too late Rosalie, I'm already up!" Edward yelled.
"Eww…gross. I don't need to hear all that. I'll give you five minutes to finish and then I'll be back."
"Why do you need to come back?" I asked, looking towards the door.
"You're down to four minutes and you're asking questions?" Rose asked.
"Fine, just get away from the door!" I yelled.
"I'm going!"
I looked back to Edward and just shook my head.
"Are we going to finish?" Edward asked and I laughed
"Uh, yeah." I leaned down and brought my lips to his.
After our quickie, we both showered and I was going to throw on a pair of jean capri's and a green shirt, when Rose was back at the door. I let Edward put on a pair of shorts before I opened the door.
"Yes, Rose?" I said and she stood in the doorway with clothes in her hands.
"This is for you…" She handed me clothes on a hanger. "…and this is for Edward."
"No, please tell me Mom didn't choose our outfits for the day." Edward said and stood behind me at the door.
"Uh, yes she did. Believe it or not but she already took Charlie his clothes too." Rose said.
"You're kidding!" I said a little loudly.
"No, I'm not." Rose laughed. "But thank God that I'm Emmett's girlfriend and Esme is allowing me to wear this jersey with his name and number." She waved her hands up and down her outfit. Rose could make anything look good.
"Bella, I'm sorry but if we don't wear what she has given us, we will hear it for an eternity." Edward said and took the hanger from Rose.
"Okay…it's not like I'm mad about it." I shrugged, it couldn't be that bad. The shirt on the hanger was just a navy polo with a small ND logo on the left side.
"Look under the shirt, Bella. My mother has been dying to get these outfits for us." Edward said, putting on his navy blue polo.
I took my polo off the hanger and eyed the khaki shorts with small embroidered ND clover logos all over.
"These are kind of cute." I held them up and shrugged my shoulders. Then I saw Edward's shorts. They were the same color but with ND logos embroidered throughout. "Oh, now I see why you would feel a little weird, Edward. We are going to be a cute matching couple." I giggled and he rolled his eyes.
"Is that all Rose? I'm surprised she didn't choose a hat for me to wear." Edward asked and was waiting for her to leave the room so he could change into his shorts.
"She did choose it. It's downstairs in the kitchen and yours too Bella." Rose laughed and closed the door to the bedroom.
"That woman is crazy during football season." Edward mumbled and finished dressing.
"So, can I make fun of you because your mama still dressed you?" I laughed and got dressed.
After, making the bed and placing our clothes in the hamper, we met the Esme, Carlisle, and Rose in the kitchen. Sure enough, there sat baseball hats for Edward and me. I didn't understand why we had to have hats but Esme quickly told me it was because the sun would be beating down on us and it gets very hot sitting in the stands nearer to the field. Plus, since we would be drinking alcohol, the heat would only enhance our buzzes, so better to be safe. That Esme thought of everything.
I thought I understood the dedication the Cullen's or even the Hale's had to Notre Dame but I was sadly mistaken. After having coffee, in Notre Dame coffee mugs, we gathered our things so we could pick-up my Dad and then get to tailgating. I walked out and saw a huge RV with the Notre Dame leprechaun stamped to the side of the RV. I didn't even know where they kept that massive thing but it was there, in the driveway.
"Wow, you all take this tailgating to a whole other level!" I laughed and Edward helped me into the RV.
"We don't do it any other way, dear." Esme said and sat in the driver's seat.
"You're driving this bad boy, Esme?" I asked a little shocked.
"I used to drive it but I can't park the damn thing, so I let her take over. And, it always ended with a huge argument. I figured I would save myself from the fight if my lovely wife just drove instead." Carlisle said and grinned at Esme.
"Don't give me that Dr. Cullen! You act like you didn't benefit from all the arguing we had about driving and parking 'The Beast.'" Esme smirked and turn the key and started the RV.
"Oh, yeah, that was enjoyable." Carlisle laughed and sat in his seat, looking at Esme. "Let's hit it sweet thing!"
Edward and I sat on the small love seat and Rose in one of the recliner seats. Esme drove us to pick up my Dad and he had the same reaction as I did. We all chatted as we made the thirty minute drive to the stadium. I shouldn't have been surprised by all the apparel and supplies that Esme had but I was. She had everything; down to the napkins, forks, coasters, everything was logoed for Notre Dame.
Once we had arrived, we parked nearly right next to the stadium; apparently it was for the very special alumni. There were many other RV's around but nothing compared to the monstrosity that was "The Beast" as Esme had called it. As soon, as we stepped out of the RV, Carlisle and Esme were bombarded by people. I noticed some of the people that came up were probably my age and they immediately began to unload the cargo under the RV, roll out the shade, and were setting the whole sha-bang up with even having to be asked.
"What are they doing?" I asked Edward, as things were quickly getting put together, all the while Esme and Carlisle still talking to the elderly couple that first greeted them.
"They are setting our stuff up, Bella. You honestly don't think we would be doing it when my Mother is here do you? She's crazy, I tell ya! When are you going to believe me?" Edward laughed. He grabbed, what looked like a large carpet roll, from the under storage and placed it on the ground. Sure enough, a huge rug that was navy blue with a gold ND logo.
"This is the life, baby girl; tailgating at ten in the morning at the Notre Dame stadium." My Dad nudged me and smiled.
"Dad you look like a kid in the candy store. It's just a football game." I said and gave him a quick hug.
"Bella, Edward, Rose, Charlie! Come here!" Esme shouted and waved us over to where she was standing. She and Carlisle were wearing khaki shorts with these fancy monogram polo's. I marked it up to what the alumni wore because the couple they were talking to was wearing nearly the exact same clothes.
"This is Carmen and Eleazar; we were all great friends in college. They have finally decided to stay permanently here in the states. They are both doctors and have been traveling to third world countries to help wherever needed. Carmen, Eleazar, I would like you to meet my future daughters, Bella and Rose."
"Mom, come on. You can't just assume that." Edward said and then turned to me mouthing 'sorry' and squeezed my hand.
"I'm not assuming, son. That would make an ass out of you and me and I sure as hell am not an ass! I'll trade your ass and Emmett's for Bella and Rose any day of the week." Esme was something else.
"I know!" Edward laughed. "It's nice to see you again Carmen and Elie."
After the fun that ensues during tailgating and winning the football game against Nevada thirty-five to zip, we were on our way back home. We were going to drop the RV off and then all of us were going to the Blueberry Festival. My Dad and I were the most revved up for it. It was one of the very few traditions we had together and if I was being honest, I had a feeling it was never going to be the same again.
"Okay, Bells because I'm being a nice guy and don't want to scare off the boy before he's had something filling to eat in the past few hours, I'm going to make the trek for steak tips and the rib eye sandwich. You get the port-a-pit chicken and blueberry donuts." My Dad said and pushed through the crowd, to get across the covered bridge and to where his holy land waited for him.
"What was that?" Edward asked as we all, with the exception of Rose since she wanted to wait for Emmett, started towards the entrance of the park.
"My Dad and I always start with the essentials of the festival; steak-tips, rib eye sandwich, port-a-pit chicken, and blueberry donuts. We walk through a few craft tents and then get a funnel cake with strawberries and whip cream. Even more essential, is we drink lemon shake-up with everything. It's not any lemon shake-up stand either; it's only the one by the covered bridge that has the best. Tomorrow is a whole other menu; tacos from one of the local church booths, a turkey leg, sweet corn from the Lion's Club, blueberry ice cream, and then we walk around stuffing our faces with kettle corn. Really all of this is a science we had to perfect. Monday, which is the last day, is topped off with hot dogs, potato curls, more blueberry donuts, and a caramel apple." I informed them.
"Bella, I have never seen you eat that much food." Esme said with wonder.
"Correct. It because I work hard the rest of the year to shed all the weight I gain in this one weekend." I laughed.
"That is so understandable." Esme laughed.
I led them through the park to where a majority of the food booths were. Edward, Esme, and Carlisle were all going to be participating in mine and my Dad's festival tradition so they agreed to whatever food I bought. We found a picnic table to sit at and soon my Dad came walking up to join us with a tray full of steak for us to eat. It was too much food and I was happy to see that Rose and Emmett joined us, which meant Emmett thoroughly enjoyed all the food left over.
After we fully satiated our hunger, we looked through a few tents and stopped at a vender that was selling his paintings. My Dad and I usually didn't have much interest in looking at them but the Cullen's were looking through all of paintings and talking with the artist.
"Hey Dad, you want to go get that funnel cake?" I asked knowing he wasn't all that interested in looking at the paintings.
"Yeah, let's go." He said. "You coming, Edward?"
"Oh, no. Go ahead, I think I'm going to look at these more." Edward said, giving me a kiss on the forehead and letting go of my hand.
"We will be back. It's just over there." I pointed at the booth and smiled at Edward.
My Dad and I left them and walked the short distance to get the mouth watering strawberry topped funnel cake.
"So, how are things going, kid?" My Dad asked.
"School is great, my classes are going to be a little challenging but nothing I can't handle."
"That's good but I was talking about between you and Edward?"
"Oh." I sighed and looked at my Dad. "Things are great Dad. Really great."
"You're happy."
"More than you know, Dad. Edward is…perfect. Perfect for me."
"I'm happy for you, baby girl. How are you handling being away from him?"
"I'm not doing a very good job of handling it." I felt my eyes beginning to water at just the thought of leaving him on Monday.
My Dad ordered our funnel cake and we sat on a rock wall next to the booth.
"Bells, you know you can talk to me about almost anything?"
"I know. It's just…it was really hard for me to be away from him for the past two weeks. I'm a little worried that I've become too attached to him, it's almost like I can't breathe right unless I'm with him. It's scary."
Our cake was ready and Dad grabbed it, sitting back down beside me. We took a piece of it off and sat momentarily in silence.
"You love Edward." My Dad stated not asked.
"I do. With everything I have." I said.
"It's so powerful isn't it?"
"Yeah. When we first met it was like a surge of electricity would just run throughout my body whenever he was near. It was weird; I've gotten use to that feeling but now, it just more. I feel more in my heart, like it tugs at it."
"I had those same feelings about your mother. It's never going to go away, Bella. It's going to grow and it is scary but let me tell you. It's the greatest feeling in the world when you both acknowledge it and then nothing will ever come between you." My Dad sighed and wrapped his arm around my shoulder.
"He has, Dad. He knew from the very beginning. Right before I left for Bloomington, we said we loved each other."
"Ha! Well, I guess I should be expecting a request for a blessing soon, huh?" My Dad joked.
"I don't know about that, but I think, no, I know Edward and I are not ending anytime soon." I said and kissed my Dad's cheek. "But know you will still be the first man I loved."
"I know, baby girl. You will always be my baby girl, too. I love you." He said and kissed the side of my head. Just then Edward walked up to us.
"Am I interrupting?" He looked at my Dad.
"No, son. Find any worthwhile paintings?" My Dad said and took another piece of funnel cake.
"Yeah, we bought four of them. Well, I bought one and my Mom and Dad bought three others. Emmett's trying to get the guy to paint a portrait of him and Rose. I don't think it is working in his favor though." Edward shook his head and smiled.
"Let me see if I can help with the persuasion then." My Dad said, before he hugged me again and went to help Emmett.
"Everything okay, Bella?" Edward asked and took hold of my hand.
"Edward, everything couldn't be more perfect. I have the best father a girl could ask for and a boyfriend who I'm irrevocably in love with." I said and squeezed his hand.
The weekend went entirely way too fast. Saturday was spent walking around the festival until it closed and my Dad even went to the Cullen's and hung out with everyone. It was entertaining seeing everyone interact with each other. It was heartwarming. Sunday morning was filled with more festival activities and time spent with my Dad. Sunday night after watching fireworks, we went to Jake's house and hung around the bonfire and made a trip out on the lake. Edward and I stayed for a while but called it a night around one in the morning. In the morning we were going to watch the parade and make one last trip to the festival with my Dad.
"So, I know you're birthday is coming up and since I can't drive down there until two weeks from now, I wanted to give you your present." Edward said as we lay cuddling in bed.
"Ok."
He reached into his nightstand and pulled out a wrapped CD. I took it from him and tore it open. I couldn't believe what I was holding.
"Edward…how?" I gapped at him and then back at the CD.
"It doesn't matter, how. You have it…before nearly everyone else in the world." Edward said.
"It's doesn't come out for like two month's!" I leaned over him and kissed him hard. "Thank you."
"So, if I put it on right now, do I get to see your boobies? It is John Mayer, after all."
"You bet your sweet ass, you can see the goods…and more." I grinned.
