A/N: HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! WOW, what a wonderful 10/28/10! The big 1-9. I'm a youngin :) So many hits I just may cry! What an awesome birthday present! I've gotten mixed reviews on E and B's little session. Some think it's too early, some think he should work harder and earn her trust. She doesn't fully trust him yet. And one review said that Edward needs to work and Tanya should get her ass beat are grateful that I gave Bella release because the poor girl needed it. I mean how long could you go without and have someone like Edward fucking Cullen want you and not jump on top of that? That's what I thought and this is my story so I decide when they get hot and heavy, dammit! Tehe! So without further ado...
On with it!

Previously:
He ran his hand from my hip, up my side, cupped my breast, squeezing gently then tipped my chin up, looked into my eyes. and kissed me, his tongue sliding against mine slowly and licking at me before sucking on my bottom lip and let go. His hand traveled back down my side and grabbed under my knee, hitching it on his hip and pulled me on top of him. He cupped my ass and pressed my core against him, rocking against me.
"Hah," I gasped, surprised he was hard again.
"Time for round two, baby," Edward growled, his hand slipping inside my panties. "You shouldn't have showed me your ass."
"Oh, God," I whimpered, feeling his fingers probe me.
EPOV
I opened my eyes to a darkness. I felt around for my phone and looked at the clock. 7 p.m. Where the fuck am I? I rolled over and was met with the floor.
"SHIT!" I yelled. I got up and walked around like a blind person, looking for a light. As I stumbled around I ran into a lamp, felt for the switch and turned it on, dim light filling the room. Bella's room? And then I remembered...
Lips, tongues, moans, gasps, Bella's cries of ecstasy. Her soft skin, her scent of arousal. I groaned, adjusting my jeans over my sudden hard on and realized I had no shirt on. I wiped the rest of the sleep from my eyes and picked up my t-shirt and put it on. We must have used so much energy, we fell asleep. Why was I so disoriented? And where the hell was my phone? I just had it! I spotted it on the floor at the end of the bed. I must have been laying half cocked on the bed, not like a normal person does.
"Douche," I said to myself. Where's Bell at? I walked out of her room and down the hall and heard the TV. She must be watching it so I walked further and discovered what she was watching as I heard the lines.
"Right. Where are they going on their honeymoon?"
"Well, it's not strictly a honeymoon; it's a same-sex vacation with a lot of the same events as a honeymoon."
"Hey, friends, lovers, mothers, and other strangers. You're never going to believe what happened to me. Oh, my gosh! Did you see that? I almost did a half nelson. I almost bruised my delicates, my delicates, my domo arigato Mr. Tomatoes. Huge news! I have met- Are you ready for this? Mr. Right. Well, Mr. Right-Now, anyway. Ba-da-bum! Good night, folks, I'm here all week. Jack 2000! He works over at the Jumpin' Java. You know that coffee shop on 72nd? And his name is Paul. He is cute with a capital "Q"! And the busier it gets, the hotter he gets. And the hotter he gets, the sweatier he gets. And the sweatier he gets- I forgot where I'm going with this, but the point is... Me likey he, and he likey me. And the best part is Shazam! He gives me free iced coffee every time I go in, which is every hour on the hour. Thank you very much! And occasionally on the half hour! Bah-da-da-da-da! Blblblbt!"
"Bah ha ha!" Bella laughed her adorable, unusally loud, snorting laugh. I grinned because she was watching reruns of Will & Grace and Jack or whatever his name was looked pretty hyper as the other man and woman looked at him oddly. I shuffled over to the side of the couch, plopped down next her neck.
"Mmmmmmmmm. Hi, hon." She wiped the tears of laughter off her face.
"Hey, beautiful."
"Sleep well?"
"Mhm," I mumbled, nuzzling her cheek. "Except I woke up at the end of the bed and then fell off."
"Weird."
Her attention went back to the show. I didn't know what was going on but it was a scene with the hyper dude and a stacked brunette and listened to them talk.
"Hey, hey, hey, hey! Why don't you save your anger for the bedroom, where it belongs? Why don't you go see your little coffee cutie, huh? Your latte lover. Mr. Jock-full-of-nuts."
"He quit, all right? What is this? The freaking inquisition? Can't a guy have a nice, hot cup of coffee when he wants, or do we all live in "Tea Land" where it's a capital crime to even say the word "coffee"?"
They kept talking more and the hyper guy walked over to a coffee maker, took the filter out and squeezed it above his mouth, making Bella snort loud again. I smiled at her enthusiasm.
"Baby, why do you watch these over and over? They're old."
"Because they're funny. Get over it!" she said, elbowing me lightly. "I want a gay man. Will you act gay for me sometime?" My eyes bugged out and I shook my head.
"You couldn't pay me enough. I like girls. The skin, face, hair, everything! I don't like hairy chests or dicks, honey."
"I'm not saying you have to fuck a man, silly. Just act like it."
"No, Bells."
"You're not fun!" she pouted. Her phone rang, distracting her from the subject. She picked it up and answered it.
"Hello?"
Hi! Is this Bella Swan?
"Yes. Who is this?"
Oh Em Gee, I am super sorry. I'm calling about your application here at Crowley Retail.
"Oh! Yes, I remember. Are there any positions available by chance?"
Totally! Do you wanna come over tomorrow for a chat?
"Absolutely! What time?"
Around three-ish. That work?
"Yes. Is there someone who I should ask for?"
Oh my God, I'm stupid. Yes, ask for Tyler. Tyler Crowley. I own this place and Jess recommended you. She told me you were fabulous!
"Alright, thanks, Tyler."
See you, Bella!
They hung up and I looked at her with a raised brow. "Can you say major fem?"
"Edward! That was rude!"
"Sorry, he just...baby...my gaydar went berserk."
She smiled and slapped my leg, a look of utter joy evident on her face. "I may have a gay boss, babe! Oh, I'm excited!" Bella looked like she just found the cure for cancer in her realization. I was happy she may get a job but what if she ever wanted me to come visit? What if her boss tried to cop a feel?
"You got your wish. Maybe you two can watch this show together, yeah?" I ran my hands through my hair.
"I can't wait. I'm gonna call Ali and ask where she and Jazz are and tell her the news." She squeezed my leg before getting up and walking down the hall to her room so I didn't have to hear the squeals. My attention fixed back to the show and I saw the hyper guy run out of an apartment with a pint of ice cream and yelled, "Outta my way. I've got a monkey on my back named Juan Valdez!" I grinned as the stacked woman ran across the room jumped, legs in the air and ran out the door chasing the ice cream dude. I sighed and shut the TV off, got up and walked to Bella's room. I heard loud music so I tried to walk in, going unnoticed. She was dancing-scratch that-head banging to a rock song, singing along to some parts.
She lives in a fairy tale
Somewhere too far for us to find
Forgotten the taste and smell
Of the world that she's left behind
It's all about the exposure the lens I told her
The angles were all wrong now
She's ripping wings off of butterflies
Keep your feet on the ground
When your head's in the clouds
Well go get your shovel
And we'll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle, bury the castle
Go get your shovel
And we'll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle, bury the castle
"Ba da ba ba da ba ba da!" she screamed and jumped around the room, brown locks flying everywhere and I snorted, leaning against the wall, enjoying the performance.
So one day he found her crying
Coiled up on the dirty ground
Her prince finally came to save her
And the rest you can figure out
But it was a trick
And the clock struck twelve
Well make sure to build your house brick by boring brick
Or the wolf's gonna blow it down
Keep your feet on the ground
When your head's in the clouds
Well go get your shovel
And we'll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle, bury the castle
Go get your shovel
And we'll dig a deep hole
We'll bury the castle, bury the castle
Well you built up a world of magic
Because your real life is tragic
Yeah you built up a world of magic
If it's not real
You can't hold it in your hand
You can't feel it with your heart
And I won't believe it
But if it's true
You can see it with your eyes
Oh, even in the dark
And that's where I want to be, yeah
Go get your shovel
And we'll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle, bury the castle
Go get your shovel
And we'll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle, bury the castle
Ba da ba ba da ba ba da
Ba da ba ba ba da ba ba
Ba da ba ba da ba ba da
Ba da ba ba ba ba ba ba
"Ba da ba ba da ba ba da! Ba da ba ba ba da ba ba! Ba da ba ba da ba ba da! Ba da ba ba ba ba ba ba!" Bella yelled the last part of the song, her face to the ceiling, spun around and fell on the bed, her chest rising fast as she tried to catch her breath. She still didn't notice I was there so I stayed where I was. God, she was gorgeous! Her face flushed, hair a rumpled mess, shirt riding up. Her small hands pushed her hair off her forehead and she left one there and put the other on her chest, trying to calm her breathing. I decide to make my presence known and began clapping my hands, walking towards her. She looked at me, startled, a blush blooming on her face and down.
"How...much...did you...see?" Bella asked me through her pants.
"Pretty much everything. Head banging and yelling, everything."
"Well you got lucky 'cause I hardly ever do that. Be grateful you got to see it. God, I'm so embarassed!" She turned her head away and rolled over to her side. I walked over and got on my knees, rolled her over and took her hands away from her face, grinning. I straightened her out and layed next to her, my head resting on my arm. I brushed her hair off her face with my free hand and kissed her nose.
"You're cute," I told her.
"Damn straight!"
I hid my face in the crook of my arm and laughed, my body shaking the bed as she continued to smile at me. I suddenly felt her fingers thread through the hair on the side of my head so I leaned into it, placing my hand on top of hers, my eyes fixated back to her, the look I gave her changed the mood. "I'm sorry for hurting you."
"Edward..." I put my finger to her lips, quieting her.
"Let me finish. I hate myself for hurting you. I know that you don't trust me and you're scared I'll break you again but, Bella, I...I won't. I swear on my life that I will never, ever hurt you again. The first time you found out about...her, I had only just reconnected with her. She ran into me one day and it went from there. It was the first time I had seen her in a long time. When she kissed me that day I was caught off guard. What you saw was a misunderstanding and I tried to tell her that I was committed to you but you came over and I felt sick. So fucking sick, baby. The tears falling from your beautiful eyes, your shaking hands. It killed me. I told you about paperwork because I didn't want you to jump to conclusions and I especially didn't want her in your life. And when you took off your necklace and ring, I felt like someone had shot me in the stomach and I wanted to die because I had never felt so much pain in my life."
"But that still doesn't help me understand why you continued to see her when you told me you'd stop," she whispered.
"I don't know why I did that. She was a friend outside work and our friends and...God...I don't know...she made me feel loved but in a different way."
"And I didnt? I didn't make you feel like I loved you?" Bella asked, her hand to her chest. "I told you I loved you every single day, Edward. How was that different?"
"It's unexplainable. I can't explain it without upsetting or offending you. It just was, Bella, was. I don't feel that way anymore. The day I tried breaking it off, she went crazy. Threatening to hurt you, telling me I owe her, saying that you never loved me. She was delusional."
"How many times did you sleep with her?"
"Bella..."
"How many, Edward? Three, four, ten? I need a number."
"Twice," I whispered, my eyes looking at my arm.
She flew off the bed and threw her hands in the air. "Twice? Twice!"
"I'm sorry." I sat up and put my legs on the floor and hung my head, not wanting her to see the tears fill my eyes.
"If you cheated on me for two months and only slept with her twice, then why, when I wanted sex, did you not comply? Did you not want me? Is that it?"
"No!" I yelled and looked up, forgetting I was crying. Bella noticed my tears and her features softened. She sat down next to me and look my hand, rubbing soft circles into it. "I wanted you. I want you all the time, Bella." I hung my head again and glance at her.
"Then why?"
"I...I felt disgusted with myself...dirty because I didn't stop her and I knew I was hurting you."
She reached up and cupped my face with her hands, thumbs brushing away the tears. "So it was twice. Give me a time span of the two times it happened."
"There was always alcohol involved. She was always the one to start it. You know what liquor does to me? You know how I get?"
She nodded. "You're careless, not in control and you have lack of judgement. So you're saying she pretty much got you drunk when it happened?"
"I wasn't hammered or anything, just loose and relaxed. It was every other weekend and I was so stressed over a case I was assigned to. I swear, Bella, I want you all the time. I just felt so guilty."
"You didn't make love to me because you felt guilty?"
"Yes."
"And you want me all the time?"
"So much."
"So you didn't sleep with me for a almost two months because you felt guilty?"
My head snapped up. "Two months. It hasn't been that long. I made love to you the Saturday night after your birthday. Remember?"
"No you didn't. I wasn't home. I was with Ali."
I was confused. "Yeah, I did. I know I was tired but it was you. Your hair, your lips, perfume. You were wearing my shirt and walked in. Brown hair, brown eyes. It was you and you said 'Will you give me another present?' I said yes but then it went all fuzzy and I faded in and out while it happened but I knew it was you."
"Edward, I was with Alice that night. I came home and you were sleeping. There was an empty syringe on the table next to you. Was it your allergy shot?" What? Allergy shot? What the fuck is she talking about? I take my allergy shot every month but not in the evening.
"I had taken my shot that morning, baby. What color was the fluid?"
Bella's face turned white and her hand slapped to her mouth. Then her face scrunched up in anger and she growled. "THAT STUPID MOTHERFUCKING HOMEWRECKING WHORE!" I jumped at her sudden rage and my eyebrows pushed together. Why was she angry? What did I do?
"Bella, what did I do?" I got up and walked over to her with a questioning look. "What'd I do?"
"It's not what you did. It's what that bitch did. Edward, it wasn't me that night. I'm pretty sure it was Tanya. Did she drug you, slip something in your drink at the lunches you accompanied her to? Jesus, what the fucking hell is wrong that woman?"
"Drug me? Wha-?" Realization washed over me. "Oh, fuck." Did the bitch drug me? Did she make herself look like Bella?
"Edward, did she drug you? Because if she did, then she pretty much raped you. And she dressed up like me to get you to do it. But how did she get in?"
"I don't know how she got in if that's what happened. All I remember was you or whoever, on top of me and nothing else. What kind of sick, twisted person does that?" I covered my face and went to lay on the bed, Bella followed and slid in next to me, placing her hand on my stomach. "I'm tired. Can I go with you to your interview tomorrow?"
"Sure," Bella whispered. "Edward, what are we going to do about Tanya?"
"I'm getting a god damned restraining order. She's insane. What if she did drug me, baby?"
"We'll get it figured out." She leaned up and kissed me. "I" kiss "love" kiss "you" kiss.
"I love you, too. Let's sleep." I reached and shut the lamp off, rolled over and wrapped my arms around my girl and fell asleep.
~~~~~ *S* ~~~~~ *S* ~~~~~
"GET THE HELL OFF ME, YOU PIXIE BITCH!" Someone yelled. Bella and I shot out of bed and ran down the hall.
"Ali, are you alright? What-"
Alice had a strong hold on a woman's hair who looked to be struggling to free herself from my sister's grasp. I looked closer and recognized her as...Tanya! My mood immediately changed from confusion and shock to anger.
"What hell are you doing here, Tanya?" I asked through my teeth and clenched my fists.
"I found her lurking in the lobby. Obviously waiting for you to come down to-" Bella cut Ali off.
"To what? Dress up like me again, drug Edward and rape him?" Alice gasped and pulled on Tanya's hair harder. Tanya didn't deny Bella's accusation, only glared at me.
"Wow," she sneered. "Still slumming it with this mousy piece of shit, I see. Great job, Eddie."
Bella's face twisted into a mask of pure rage. "Piece of shit? I'll show you the piece of shit, you fucking psychopathic, cum guzzling cow!" she screamed, face red and lunged for Tanya's neck.
A/N: Who wants Bella to kick the shit out of Tanya?
I do! I do!
Until next time,
Lionlamb91! :)
