Chapter 11 (Please Read and Review once again I do not own anything. Also I've had some pm's complaining about the story. But others giving high praise and thank you. All I can say is if you don't like it then don't read it. Threats through a pm also is sad, petty and beyond childish. I will never answer them either. I got better things to do. All warnings were put at the beginning of the story. This isn't your typical Edward. The Cullen's in my story are darker vampires. The way I envision actual vampires would be in this situation. FYI just a story chillax and learn to breathe. ON WITH THE STORY!)
That morning the sun cascades into my bedroom. I'd never laid with anyone else all night. Usually when I was done with my business I went on my merry way. This was different. For once I actually didn't want to leave the woman's side. I'd run my fingers along her body ever once in a while. After morning arrived though I had to see more, gently I pulled the sheets back. She lay on her side with one knee curled up, giving me the perfect view of her ass and hint of her vag mocking me. I breathed her in and ran my hands along her back and rear.
Bella rolls over waking up.
"I'm cold Edward."
I grin.
"Sorry." I pull the sheets back over her.
She laughs however as I press myself against her under the covers. I kiss along her shoulders and neck running my hands along her breast. I fucking hear the door open though and quickly cover her up all the way.
We feel someone plop down on the end of the bed. I roll my eyes knowing it was Emmett the big sack of bricks. I kick at him trying to get him off the damn bed.
"Is something wrong Eddie boy?" He knows I fucking hate that.
I bring the covers down from my face.
"Yeah you're pissing me the fuck off."
He grins.
"Hey Bella! How are you this morning?"
"Jackass…" I mutter and fling my head back in the bed.
I feel the bed moving as she's giggling under the sheets. I flip him off. He laughs.
"Oh am I interrupting something?"
Cock blocker is going to pay big time for this. The way him and Alice go at it… he should have known he was just setting himself up.
"Out." I demand.
Emmett grins ear to ear and comes to a stand.
"I'll see you later Bella."
Emmett was growing attached to Bella as well. In fact it seemed the entire coven was taking a liking to her. I just wish they'd quit being dicks. I don't want them running her off. I will say this though if Emmett fucks with you like this it's because he likes you. He thought Bella was funny and cute. He liked how easy it was to embarrass her the way her face would turn beet red. That was another thing as well. Alice liked Bella. Anyone Alice praised or defended Emmett would have their back. I just wish Bella would see that side of Emmett and Carlisle with their brides.
Carlisle however was far from helping me in this situation. His focus was merely on protecting the coven. He sought no reason to coddle Bella. Carlisle honestly thought I was too soft on her. I didn't agree. Bella had been through enough. In fact I was still pissed he'd fed from her. I half expected her to run away then. I grimace though in thought remembering the woods were surrounded by weres too at the time. He's older than all of us and he tends to forget what it's like to be human. Even I have troubles with it. Certain things that bother Bella I do not understand. But I'm willing to try.
When it comes to keeping her alive and safe though is where she will see me at my darkest moments. I do not mind telling her how it is during those times. I will not hold back no matter how much it hurts her feelings. I can always try to make up for that later. But if she dies I lose her forever and I can't have that. I can't even bare the mere idea. Perhaps she's created a bit of a weakness in me. That will be my only downfall doing everything in my power to keep her safe. That weakness was the only part of this relationship I didn't like. I'm not used to second guessing myself and having someone else to consider with each move I make. I have to think more and more like a human lately it's annoying. But it's either that or the alternative… an alternative I'm not willing to take. So I'll endure it.
Emmett finally leaves the room and I return to what I was doing. I crawl over her for a little repeat of last night. Only this time I didn't have to be so reserved. I thrust a bit harder and at a quicker stride. This is something I could easily do all day. She was nice and drenched. She smelled wonderful. Bella starts this thing of licking and kissing along my neck. I knew I wasn't going to last much longer with her doing that. Sure enough I feel the scrapping of teeth and something about that has me blow my load immediately. I kiss her lips before pulling out and lay back down.
Bella's new cell rings and she reaches over answering it.
"Dad?"
Once she hangs up she gives me this look. But I'd already overheard it. One of her father's friends apparently had a heart attack or something.
"I better go Edward."
Naturally I was disappointed. I'd hoped to spend the entire day with her but understood. I help her find her clothes and pack up. She jumps in the shower as I load up the car. I wait for her downstairs.
When Bella makes her way down Carlisle turns from his paper.
"Leaving us so soon?"
"I thought it best before you all get hungry." She says but with a crooked smile.
Carlisle chuckles.
"I can assure you I've no intentions to feed from you again, no matter how delightful you taste."
Bella grimaces a bit and clears her throat. I shake my head at Carlisle and he winks at me.
"I take Bella's hand as we start towards the door."
"She's leaving?!" Alice questions disappointed.
"An emergency came up Alice." I explain.
Alice makes a pouty face.
"But I was going to make her breakfast and I wanted to take her shopping!"
Emmett grins shaking his head.
"Perhaps another time baby." He pats her shoulder.
Bella smiles towards Alice. Alice breaks into a grin.
"OK fine next time."
After I get Bella into the car though I notice that look in her eyes, the one that says it's all coming back to her. I knew it'd really hit her soon enough. That and I'm sure she was worried about this Harry Clearwater person.
"I think something's wrong with me."
"Why's that sweetheart?"
"Because I'm glad it was me that killed Jacob and not you."
This rather blew me away.
"Why do you think that is?"
She looks down picking at the seam of her shirt. She shrugs shyly.
"That's why there's something wrong with me. At first I was freaked out when I did it. But now… Now I feel free and there's there new found sense of pride. I mean really Edward how jacked up am I?"
I take her hand and look back to the road.
"Pretty jacked Bella." I say but with a grin.
She smiles but still has that wounded look in her eyes.
"By the way if you get questioned about Jacob or any of the other wolves I want you to play dumb. Do you understand? Let me handle this."
I turn towards the hospital.
"Wait how'd you?"
"Vampire… we've exceptional hearing. That and I don't think it's a good idea you drive. I figured it best I bring you here myself."
After we arrive I walk her to the waiting room, the stench already hitting before we even step in. But I already read the minds too. Their only concern at the moment was this Harry Clearwater person. It was Seth's father. He'd an older sister named Leah. The other were that was there was Leah's mate Embry. They were all that was left of the were's. They'd created their own pack before shit went down. Once Jacob Black became leader Seth and Embry no longer wished to follow. Leah apparently at one time had a relationship with Sam Uley the alpha my master took out. So the story on that part was true. However she didn't end up alone. Embry took care of Leah ever since Sam had broken her heart. What started out as a friendship became much more. His feelings were very strong for this female were. Embry and Seth never wanted this. Both resented what they were. Both wanted normal lives. But as their ancestors before them the curse was upon them and they'd no choice but to live with it. Seth and Charlie came to a stand as we entered the room.
Seth's mind was going ninety to nothing. He'd feared something happened to Bella. He knew Paul had wanted her dead and that Jacob had plans to kidnap her. He was thankful to see she was ok. Seth gave her a hug. I found it amusing though he knew what I was yet there was no immediate violent intentions. The only concern he had was Bella's safety. However Embry and Leah weren't too pleased. Embry was now alpha so I knew I still needed to watch my back somewhat. Though neither of them were near as violent as the others. Naturally Seth and Leah at the moment were devastated in the loss of their father.
Charlie clears his throat making his way over.
"Bella…" He says a certain way and she already knew.
Her hand clasped over her mouth and she immediately turned to Seth.
"I'm so sorry." Seth nodded and looked to the ground.
That's another thing that was incorrect. Leah and Bella didn't hate one another. They were actually friends. Not close friends but friends nonetheless. Of course Leah didn't like the idea of her being with me. She thought Bella was being an idiot to date a leech.
Bella hugs her father and Leah afterword. She hugs Leah a bit longer as Leah starts to cry. A few tear streamed down Bella's face as well. But something caught me entirely offguard.
(Heart attack… No… it was Jacob! I know it was! Jacob fucking killed my father!)
I dart my eyes Seth's direction his face slightly red his fists balled up.
(He was so angry. All he cared about was forcing Bella to become his mate. I HATE HIM! I FUCKING HATE HIM! I'm gonna KILL JACOB BLACK!)
Seth leaves the room at this point. I actually felt sorry for the kid. I wouldn't put it past him to be correct if this took place before the attack on us yesterday.
Bella takes notice of this.
"I'll be right back." She says and I take a seat.
She follows Seth out and I could make out through his thoughts that Bella was hugging him again. Seth was just a boy and only 14 at that. He was embarrassed about how he was breaking down but was pleased Bella was there. My girl I realized had a heart of gold. Through her hatred of the other were's she didn't take it out upon Leah or Seth. She still cared about them greatly.
Bella returns a few moments later and I hand her some tissues. Her eyes were bloodshot from crying. I'd a feeling though she was crying more for Seth and Leah than the actual person that passed away. I wanted to give them their space and let them grief.
I raise up and kiss Bella's forehead before leaving. I knew Charlie would take her home.
"I'll call you later." She nods wiping her eyes.
As I make my way out this man in a wheelchair is pulling up. He grabs my arm roughly as I head towards the parking lot.
"Stay away from Bella Swan."
I break into a grin realizing who he is. I shrug him off me. I wanted to ask how his nephew was but continued about my business. The man was in a wheelchair not really a fair fight. But he'd already suspected something. He knew Jacob and the others were missing. But just like the others he can go fuck himself.
"Someone finally put his dick to use!" I roll my eyes as I toss my keys onto the counter.
Carlisle was seeing about having the kitchen remodeled and was on the phone. He covered the receiver at Jasper's words. Jasper laughs as he takes the phone to another room.
"So?"
"So what?"
"Oh come on I can't get in your head." He hints.
"I'm not going into detail about my sex life with you."
"I bet she's a vixen. Shy at first and then… Hmmmm."
"Knock it off Jasper. That right there is why you'll never find a bride."
Jasper grins.
"ON the contrary I've a long list of them just begging."
Unfortunately he was right. Women seem to love Jasper. Jasper just wasn't one to settle down so to speak. He didn't like the idea of not being able to tap what he wanted even though some Lords do not take such consideration to their brides. Some fuck whatever and whenever they wish. These usually the ones that have more than one bride. Ironically that's how I was much like Jasper. Only difference I didn't compel the women I had sex with. It's odd now that desire to be with other women is ultimately gone. Now my entire focus is persuading Bella to take that leap with me. Which is so fucking weird. What has that girl done to me? Tanya will be pissed the first time I ever have to turn her down. In fact the Denali Coven is to visit in a couple weeks or so. I planned to keep Bella away at all cost. Tanya's a forceful one she will try everything in her power to seduce me. She will think of Bella as nothing more than a petty toy of mine. Tanya's always believed she'd become my bride one day. When she finds out I'm seeking out a human instead… I smile in thought. Perhaps I should make an escape as well when it is time for them to visit. I'd also been with Irina and Kate it's Tanya though that can't get enough. I believe Irina has a lover now and with Kate who knows? She's very independent. It'd take some man to win that vampire over. In some ways she reminds me of Bella. I do not believe it will go over so well if Bella finds out I've fucked all three vampires at some point in my existence.
I groan in thought and plop down on the couch. I go to light a cigarette and Carlisle walks past yanking it out of my mouth.
"Outside Edward."
I sigh and head outside. I take a drag and Alice and Rosalie appear before me. I cock a curious brow. Rosalie takes my cigarette taking a puff and handing it back. She pulls that shit. However Alice takes it and stomps it out.
"Alice!" I hiss.
"I wasn't quite done with that."
She smiles.
"About Bella's birthday."
Rosalie smiles and I know this means they've already been discussing it.
"Last I checked she was my girlfriend ladies."
Alice tugs on my arm.
"Please Edward let me throw the party!"
I shake my head looking to Emmett from a distance. He's just smiling like he already knew.
"What do you have in mind Alice?"
She starts talking about freaking strobe lights, balloons, inviting half the damn school, having a DJ even a keg and wine!
"Alice if you happen to know Bella at all. You would know that would just freak her out and she'd want to go home."
"She won't go home." Meaning she's already seen this.
"You know why?"
I shake my head lighting another cigarette but stepping away from them both.
"Why?" I question after smoking half my cigarette first.
"Because you're going to sweep her off her feet, Bella won't want to leave. I've also already seen what you're going to get her! So you can't get mad at me about some party Edward!"
I rear back at this.
"So what am I getting her?"
She smiles.
"She's going to claim to hate it but she'll love it Edward!'
"Hmmm."
"Let us throw the party Edward. It's fucking boring around here as it is. That and at least our food would be under our roof."
"What we're doing this here?"
They both nod. I sigh not sure how to feel about this.
"You do both realize I'm wanting this girl in my future right?"
They nod.
"Edward!" Rosalie hisses bitterly.
I chuckle at this.
"I'm surprised you're not going over my head princess." I hint towards Rosalie.
She grins.
"Oh I may still if you say no." She threatens playfully.
"Very well look do your dirty work just don't go too outrageous. Bella's shy and doesn't like these sorts of things to begin with."
"She's gonna be drunk." Alice says as a matter of fact sort of tone and scurries off.
"I'm going to regret this aren't I?" I question Rosalie as she goes to follow.
She says nothing just smiles knowing she got her way. So what the fuck am I getting Bella?
"I must say you look freer." Emmett says making his way over.
I shrug.
"By the way thanks for the backup jackass."
"You're welcome."
"Bella's gonna flip out."
"That maybe true."
The next day Bella wasn't at school. I figured she'd miss a couple days due to the recent events. I'm sure they were getting ready to have a funeral service soon. I called her after school just to check in and see how everything was going. It sounded like Seth and Leah were visiting so I didn't keep her too long. I'd feed every now and then but willingly kept Bella in consideration. It was easier than I thought it would be. At first I wasn't too keen on the idea. I'd become to use to the single live of a vampire, which sounded like a really bad series on TV. In which I pictured Jasper as the vampire bachelor trying to find his mate. I turned to him in thought and couldn't help but to laugh.
"What?" He questions looking up from a book he was reading.
"Oh nothing…"
He chunks the book at me and I deflect.
I sneak into Bella's room that night. I lift the covers seeing she's only in a pair of panties.
"Edward…"
"Yes?"
"Are you being pervy?"
I clear my throat.
"I'm afraid so."
"Well could you possibly do that under the sheets? You're letting in a draft stalker."
"Stalker huh?"
"Well what would you call it? Sneaking into my room uninvited?"
"I call it being a vampire."
She rolls over facing me.
"So the superstitions of being a vampire aren't true?"
"Afraid so…"
"So the sun, garlic, holy water, crucifixes, coffins?"
"All horrible filthy lies and why wait till now to question me about such things."
She shrugs but runs a finger along my chest.
"So how'd everything go?" I hint about the Clearwater family.
"About as ok as a funeral goes."
"Are you ok?"
She nods then curls up next to me. Within minutes Bella's asleep. I breath her in every once and awhile and kiss the top of her head. It was then it dawned on me what I wanted to get her. Something that says forever… Without being too obvious. I knew though eventually I was going to have to just spit it out about the plans I had for her.
"So all that remained of the wolves were Embry, Leah and Seth?"
Edward nods.
"What about the imprint?"
"What imprint?"
"Between Jacob and Renesmee?"
Edward rolls his eyes.
"Are you not paying attention? See this is why I do not allow you to hardly talk. Just let me tell it and you'll soon find out. There also never was a freaking Renesmee. What the hell kind of name is that anyhow?"
Edward lights a cigarette.
"You're clearly not focusing on the bigger picture. Clear your head of all that nonsense. Maybe gradually it'll make sense."
He once again leaps out the window leaving only the trail of smoke from his cigarette behind.
