Sorry for the delay on this chapter, my mom came to visit for a few days. Next chapter will most likely be a wait as well, my daughter's 3rd birthday party is on Saturday and there is still lots to do. Bella's outfits posted on my profile page for this chapter.
Sadly for the rest of us Stephenie Meyer owns all things Twilight.
"Em, honestly I don't want to talk about this right now. I have to leave anyways."
"Eddie, I'm not getting off the damn phone until you tell me what happened, so you may as well just spill the beans. You know you'll end up telling me anyway." My brother was an epic pain in my ass.
"Later, I will tell you everything later. Right now though I have to go meet dad and I'm already late." I told him, I really hoped that the mention of our father would get him to drop it for now. Dad hates it when we aren't on time.
"Fine, we'll talk about it later then. I'm calling you back tonight though and if you don't answer I am going to march my happy ass over there with Jazz in tow." He told me. He would do it too and then it would be out to everyone.
"Thank you, I'll talk to you later then. Bye." I didn't give him a chance to respond before I hung up on him. That'll show him. Yeah right, that'll show him. Hanging up on him, how old are you? That inner voice of mine is really starting to piss me off.
I just walked into the coffee shop where I was meeting my dad. He was already seated at a table in the corner with both of our coffees waiting for me. Of course. "Edward" he called to me waving to get my attention.
"Hey dad. Sorry I'm a little late." I told him. I picked up my coffee and took a long sip of the delicious latte. Ahh, caffeine, my best friend.
"It's fine, I actually just sat down. How did everything turn out with Bella?"
"What? How? Oh fuck it." I was in shock that my father knew anything about my visit with Bella last night.
"Alice was over at the house with your mother going over some design ideas. Alice is making a couple of dresses for her for some of the charity functions we have to attend. Anyway she got a call from Bella while she was there. I could only hear Alice's side of the conversation but I gathered you made a visit to Bella's home on Friday after you left. So how did it go?"
"It went great. We ate dinner and talked everything out. I think everything is going to be good with us now." I told him. I wasn't about to give him the specifics of everything that happened between us, but he obviously already knew something was going on so no point in lying about it.
"That's good son. Bella's an amazing woman. I'm sure you two will be very happy together." He said with a wink.
"Thanks dad. So what did you really want to talk to me about this fine Sunday morning, almost afternoon? I know you didn't just call me down here to discuss my relationship with Bella." He had called me at 8 this morning to ask me to meet him here at Starbucks for a chat and some coffee, but he wouldn't divulge what he wanted to "chat" about.
"I wanted to tell you that I talked to Ms. Cope last night, she called me to inform me that Jessica did in fact back up your account of the events with Tanya. She also informed me that Tanya came to her after I spoke with her to file a sexual harassment complaint and also a lawsuit against you. She said that you had been leering at her and offered her a permanent position with the company if she slept with you."
"WHAT?!?!!? Dad, I did no such thing. This woman is completely out of her fucking mind." I was livid. How could this woman that I've spoken to only a handful of times state that I was sexually harassing her?
"I know Edward, I know. Ms. Cope told me that we have to take this very seriously but she has no doubt that Tanya is lying. She has to file the complaint, but she's not putting it in your file. She'll be doing an investigation on her claims as well as yours. The plan is to talk with the employees and get their insight on the situation. We should have this resolved very quickly, so don't worry about it, alright?" My father was so calm that I had no choice but to believe that everything was going to be alright. I just hoped that this matter will be taken care of quickly. The last thing I need is a false allegation and lawsuit for sexual harassment on my hands. What would Bella think? Hell we could lose clients because of this.
"Okay. Thank you for the update, I appreciate it. Tell Ms. Cope that I will do whatever she needs me to do to help the process along." He nodded as he took a drink of his coffee.
"Are you ready to present to Jacob Black tomorrow morning?" He asked, changing the subject to something less aggravating.
"Yep, we're all set. I was actually thinking that maybe Bella could sit in on the meeting, since she's been promoted and all. She could probably learn a great deal by watching a presentation meeting." My suggestion was met with a nod accompanied by a smirk. Yeah I was trying to help Bella out, so what?
"That sounds like a good idea and I'm sure she'll appreciate it." He looked at his watch and drank the rest of his coffee. "Alright son, I have to go, I'm meeting your mother for lunch at the hotel. I'll keep you informed on the Tanya front and go head and have Bella sit in on the Black presentation tomorrow." I got up and gave my dad a hug and told him to say hello to my mother for me. After he left I was left on my own to think about what he said. I was very unhappy with the new developments with Tanya to say the least. I don't understand how this fucking loon could do this. I never once even looked at her or said anything but hello or introduced myself. It was mind boggling. I finished my coffee and threw away the cup before heading out the door.
I decided to call Bella and tell her the good news about tomorrow morning to lighten my mood. She picked up at the 2nd ring and she was laughing. I wonder what has her in such a happy mood.
"Hello." She answered.
"Hey beautiful. What's so funny?"
"Oh hello Edward." I could hear people in the background saying "Ooooh, Edward!!!!" and making kissing noises. "Grow up you idiots." She told them. The noises were beginning to get muffled so I assumed she left the room to take my call. "Sorry about that. Rose and Alice are over. We just got home from a Champaign brunch and we're all a little tipsy."
"How come I wasn't invited to brunch?" I asked in a sad sounding voice.
"It was a girl thing. We do it every Sunday just to catch up and all that." "NO BOYS ALLOWED" I heard being screamed from the other women. "Would you two shut up and stop eavesdropping on my conversation?" she told them. This made me let out a laugh. I really needed to get my brothers and crash one of their "girls only" brunches sometime. "Sorry" she repeated.
"No, it's fine. I'm actually finding it quite funny." I told her honestly.
"Well I'm glad at least you find it amusing, me not so much. They can get a little…obnoxious when they've been drinking."
"Sounds like it. You should let my brothers and I join you guys sometime. It would be funny as hell. Em and Jazz would enjoy watching their women act up immensely." I suggested.
"Hmm, I bet. And what about you Mr. Cullen? Would you enjoy watching your woman act up as well?" she said in a suggestive tone. It would do me no good to get a hard on right now as I am walking up the street. People would think I am a fucking pervert or something, but I was enjoying the playful banter too much to stop it.
"Why yes, yes I would Miss. Swan. In fact I think I would very much enjoy seeing you act up right now." I heard her gasp at what I told her and chuckled. I love talking to this woman, she's amazing.
"Hmm, I bet. Well I'm sorry Edward, but I can't righ.." She started to say but I cut her off so she wouldn't think I was serious. I really do want to do this right and take things slow with her.
"Bella, relax I was just playing with you." She giggled and I knew I put her mind at ease which made me happy. I don't want her to ever be uncomfortable.
"Okay. Um I better go before the natives get restless out there. Can I call you later?" Bella asked me. Like I would say no to her calling me, like I would say no to anything she asked me.
"That's fine, but I wanted to talk to you real quick about work if that's alright. I'll make it fast I promise." I told her.
"Oh, okay. What's happanen hot stuff?" she giggled again, amused by her Sixteen Candles reference. I had to laugh too.
"Okay Long Duck Dong." She giggled again. Note to self: get Bella tipsy more often, she's fucking hilarious.
"I'm surprised you got that Edward. There may be hope for you after all." She told me.
"What? Hope for me after all? What's that mean?" I responded in a mock offended tone.
"I just never took you for a Molly Ringwald/John Hughes fan is all" she told me.
"Hey, Breakfast Club is a classic and so is Sixteen Candles. Anyone who hasn't seen those should be shot."
"I agree."
"So about work." I didn't want to take up too much of her girl bonding time.
"Oh yeah. I was having such a good time talking to you I forgot you wanted to talk to me about that. So tell me what's going on."
"I talked to Carlisle this morning and we think you should sit in on the Black presentation tomorrow morning if you're up for it. What do you think?"
"That sounds perfect. What time is it set for?" she asked
"10:30." I replied.
"Okay, that actually works out perfect. I was wondering how those things went and with this new promotion it would be a great learning experience for me. Thank you Edward."
"You're welcome. Alright, so I'll let you get back to it."
"Yeah. I'll call you later tonight. Bye Edward."
"I look forward to it. Good bye Bella." I hung up the phone and got into my car to go home. I had some things to do around the house so this is as good a time as any to do them.
A few hours of cleaning up around my place as well as getting laundry done I was settling into my couch with a beer to watch a little mindless television to pass the time.
I fell asleep on the couch and was awoken by a banging on my door. I got up and wiped the sleep from my eye and padded over to the door. The banging was persistent, which could only mean one thing, Emmett's here.
"EDDIEEEEEEE!!!! Open up!!!" I heard him yelling, I'm sure all of my neighbors heard him yelling too. They would hear him without the yelling with that booming voice of his.
"Yeah, yeah, I'm coming. Don't get your panties in a wad." I yelled right back at him.
I opened the door and sure enough there stood Emmett with a case a beer, Jasper with a few pizzas then in walked Rosalie, Alice and Bella. Well shit! I have been cleaning all day and haven't taken a shower, not exactly how I want Bella seeing me.
The girls said their hellos and Jasper just gave me an apologetic look. Bella stopped in front of me and put her hand on my chest. "Hi Edward. I hope it's okay we all came over. Emmett called Rosalie and told her they were coming here. To be honest I'm not sure how us girls coming over even got suggested. I think Emmett and Rosalie just wanted an excuse to see each other." She got up on her tip toes and kissed my jaw while her hand lingered on my chest.
"Um, no that's fine. I just wish someone would have called first. I would have taken a shower before you all came over." I rubbed the back of my neck as I told her this.
"And what were you doing all day that got you so…um…dirty?" Bella smirked at me, her tone was seductive and all I wanted to do in that moment was tell everyone else to get the fuck out so I could ravish this woman. I knew that wouldn't be happening though, so I needed get my cock to settle down.
"I was doing laundry and cleaning up around here. Nothing too exciting." There, nothing sexy about that.
"I think that's sexy Edward. I love a man who can do his own laundry and clean up after himself." She started rubbing her hand up and down my chest which was doing nothing to get rid of my raging hard on.
I throat cleared just to my right and I broke away from the trance Bella had me in to look to see who would dare burst my bubble. Jazz. Well better him then Emmett. He'd just give me endless amounts of shit.
"If you two don't come in here soon Em is going to eat all the pizza." Jazz informed us. At this point I could care less about eating pizza, but I heard Bella's stomach growl so I knew she needed to eat.
"Thanks Jazz. Bella, shall we?" I motioned for us to follow Jasper into the living room with the others so we could eat. She followed Jazz into the living room and I took a moment to admire her tight ass in those jeans she has on. God Bless Levi's. Her white wife beater and black vest hugged her curves. Bella looked back at me over her shoulder and bat her eyelashes at me.
"Coming Edward?" she asks me. Not yet, but hopefully I will be soon! I internally reply.
"Uh, yeah." I then follow her in and everyone is eating, drinking beer and talking animatedly to each other. I grab some pizza for myself and a beer and take a seat on the couch next to Bella.
After I ate my fill of pizza I excused myself to take a shower. I really did smell after all the heavy cleaning I did today. I think I may need to get a cleaning service.
We all sat around my living room watching the Mariners win their game against the Yankees for the next few hours. Conversation flowed freely and I could tell that both of my brother's were happy with their new relationships. Every now and then Bella would rub my thigh with her hand and I had to think about Emmett naked a few times to get rid of the hard on that her touch caused. Thankfully that image popping up in my head made my other head back down.
Emmett and Rosalie decided it was time for them to take off at around 8:30 leaving Jasper and Alice, who were off in their own bubble. It was almost as if Bella and I weren't even in the room. 9:00 was quickly approaching and Alice and Jasper got up to make their exit.
"Bella, do you want a ride home?" Alice asked, giving Bella a hug and a kiss on the cheek.
"No, I'll be alright. Edward will take me home, won't you Edward?" Bella winked at me and Alice giggled.
"Okay, well I'll talk to you tomorrow then." Alice gave Bella another quick hug and whispered something in her ear that made them both laugh. I wonder what that was about. "Goodnight Edward, thanks for having us over tonight. Take care of my girl."
"I will Alice. Have a good night. See you at work tomorrow Jazz."
"Yep. Be ready for the pitch with Jacob, 10:30 am." Jazz reminded me.
"I know. I'm ready. Later man." I closed the door as my brother and his girlfriend walked hand in hand down the hallway.
"Finally, we're alone. I thought they'd never leave." Bella said as she wrapped her arms around my waist and nuzzled into my chest.
"Me too." Bella lifted her head and we kissed. It started out sweet and gentle but it kept growing into more. Her hands were suddenly up my shirt massaging my peck and abs. She broke our kiss to take the offending material off my body and went right back to my waiting lips. "Mmmm, Bella. You taste so good baby." I moaned into her mouth. Our tongues were moving together in synch with each other. Bella backed away from me and I groaned from the loss of contact. When I opened my eyes to see why she backed away she was removing her shirt, her vest was already at her feet. She looked at me with her bottom lip between her teeth. Standing there in her bra and jeans looking so fucking beautiful I couldn't fight the urge to hold her. I closed the distance between us in 2 long strides and had her in my arms again. My mouth attached to hers and my hands made their way to her breasts. I began softly massaging them which caused Bella to whimper.
I moved us slowly to my room and Bella's legs had just hit the edge of my bed. She sat down pulling me by neck with her so she didn't have to stop kissing me. I knelt down in front of her and ran my hands along her denim covered legs. I took off her shoes and kissed her feet as each shoe was removed. She giggled and told me it tickled. I chuckled and kissed her ankle before sitting back up on my knees to touch more of her. I gently pushed on Bella's stomach to get her to lean back; she understood and leaned on her elbows not taking her eyes off of me. I began kissing her stomach, dipping my tongue in her cute little belly button. I continued to just above the waistband of her jeans and licked which earned me a moan. I smiled and kissed where I had just licked. I placed my hands on the button of her jeans and looked up at her seeking approval before this went any further. Bella was biting her bottom lip again and as soon as our eyes met she gave me a nod indicating I could continue. You don't have to tell me twice. With the button released I started lowering the zipper placing a kiss at the newly exposed skin as I did so. Bella lifted her ass off of the bed so I could take her jeans off and I did so very slowly, making sure to pay just the right amount of attention to all the skin that was now exposed to me. Whimpers and moans came from Bella as I removed her pants.
Once they were off I moved back up Bella's body and kissed her on her luscious lips. Her hands were in my hair pulling and massaging my scalp. I had my hands around her waist trying to pull her impossibly closer to me. She moved her hands down my back until she reached the waistband of my own jeans, then her hands were undoing the button and zipper on my pants. I was so thankful, my jeans were getting really tight. She started pulling them down until they were sitting at my thighs at which point she brought her feet up to remove them the rest of the way. Now we were both just in our underwear.
Bella sat up suddenly and I backed away, worried that maybe this had gone too far for her, but she put her hands behind her back and then her bra went slack. She pulled it off her and threw it to the floor. I have never seen more perfect breasts then this. "Beautiful" I whispered before I latched my mouth onto her perfect nipple. My hand instinctively moved to the left one as my mouth savored the right. I was pinching and lightly pulling as my mouth sucked and nibbled. Bella groaned in pleasure and moved her hands to my hair once again. She was holding me in place.
"Mmmmmm, Edward that feels sooooooo good." She moaned.
I switched my attention to the left breast while my other hand went to the right. Can't go leaving anyone out. That would be ungentlemanly of me. Bella pulled my head back up to her and she kissed me fiercely. I positioned myself over her and gently caressed her face. I placed a chaste kiss on her lips then moved to her ear, jaw and neck. Without noticing how, my boxers and her panties were somehow gone. I had a feeling it was Bella's doing. No way that I wouldn't remember taking her panties off of her.
"I want you Edward. Now." Bella demanded. Yes and Please!!!
I rolled off of her to grab a condom out of my nightstand. I ripped open the package, and Bella grabbed it out of my hands. Without a word she rolled the condom on my aching cock. I may have moaned. What, it felt good. I moved to get back over her but she pushed my chest back onto the bed and straddled my waist. Her pussy was just above my cock and I could feel her juices on my skin. Holy Fuck! "Fuck Bella, you're so wet you're dripping on me."
"That's what you do to me Edward. Now let me make you feel good." Bella started kissing me on my jaw and down my neck, she stopped at the pulse point behind my ear and lightly sucked. I silently hoped that she marked me, then again that probably wouldn't be good for my meeting tomorrow. Bella moved her way down my torso stopping to suck on my nipples. It felt fucking amazing. The things this woman was doing to my body was heaven. She was my angel. Her kisses traveled back up my torso and she ground her hips into me. She kissed me firmly on the lips and the next thing I knew I was sheathed all the way inside of her. We both moaned in pleasure. I grabbed onto her hips to hold her still. I needed to savor this moment. She started rolling her hips, in need of friction so I started moving her on my cock.
"Fuck…BELLA. You're so….ung…fuck baby." That didn't even make sense to me, but really there are no words right now. Every fantasy I have ever had, this blows them all away. Nothing I ever dreamed up compares to the real thing.
"Oh Edward…mmmm…you feel…sooooo good inside me….I never…thought it would….ung…be…this good." She moaned as she continued to ride my cock.
I needed to be on top of her, seeing her writhing beneath me, so I flipped us over, still connected and kissed her again. I started moving at a frantic pace. I couldn't help it any more. She was everything I ever wanted.
"Edward…Un..faster baby. I'm almost…..uuuuuuhhhhhhhhh….yes…yes baby, right there." Her walls were tightening around me and I couldn't hold off any longer. I came right after, yelling her name to the heavens then I collapsed on her making sure to support my weight with my arms so I didn't crush her.
After our breaths evened out I rolled off her and went to the bathroom to throw the condom away. I came back into the room and she was sound asleep on my bed, still naked. I covered her up with the sheets and blanket so she wouldn't get cold. I watched as she slept for a few minutes before going to the kitchen to grab a glass of water and make sure everything was locked up for the night. I crawled into bed beside Bella and kissed her forehead before setting the alarm. I knew Bella would want to go home to get ready before work so I set it for a little earlier then I normally would. Turning back to Bella I gathered her in my arms and fell asleep breathing in her scent. I couldn't believe she was actually here with me after all this time. It felt like a dream.
I was having the best dream. Bella was kissing my chest while her hand was stroking my cock, she was sucking and licking me everywhere and all of a sudden I felt warmth surround me. I woke with a start and looked down and sure enough Bella had my cock in her mouth. She looked up at me and winked. I groaned and fell back onto my pillow enjoying my wake-up call. I came hard and fast not long after and Bella, god bless her, swallowed every last drop. She crawled back up to me and put her head in the crook of my neck. "Good morning." She whispered and kissed my neck.
I tightened my hold on her and gave her a kiss on her head. She still smelled like strawberries. I wonder what shampoo she uses. I might have to get some to for her to use when she stays here. "Good morning beautiful. That was the best wakeup call EVER."
"Mm, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I need you to take me home so I can get ready for work though. So get your cute ass up and get ready. I'll make us some breakfast." She told me. She was starting to get up but I pulled her back down on top of me and gave her a searing kiss, no tongue of course, I'm not sure how she feels about morning breath. She just sucked you off, I doubt morning breath is an issue. She patted me on the chest and told me to get going, so I reluctantly let her go and got in the shower.
When I got out I could smell bacon and coffee wafting through the condo so I quickly finished getting dressed and went out to the kitchen. Bella was in one of my dress shirts dancing and singing to herself. I leaned on the wall to take in the sight for a few seconds before I alerted her of my presence.
"Breakfast and a show. I am one lucky man." I whispered in her ear with my arms wrapped around her tiny little waist. I could feel her skin heat up, she was embarrassed.
"Damn, you weren't supposed to see that yet." She giggled in response.
"Yet?" I asked with a quirked eyebrow.
"Well I normally don't let men see my goofy side this early on in the relationship."
"I like it. I'll make sure you see mine next time." I poured us both a cup of steaming hot coffee as she plated the breakfast she made us. "This looks great. Thank you."
I sat down at the table after I pulled her chair out for her and she took her seat.
We both dug into our food and she asked about how the meeting was going to go today. I gave her the basic rundown and told her that it would be a lot easier for her to just watch then explain everything. She nodded in understanding and finished her coffee.
"I'm going to get some clothes on so we can get going."
"I kind of like you in my shirt. You should just wear that today." I told her.
"Then we'd get the account for sure." She said.
I groaned. "Maybe that's not such a good idea after all. Unless…." I tapped my chin like Emmett usually does.
Bella peeked her head of my room. "Unless what?"
"Unless I can get you to wear one of my old baseball jerseys with my name on the back of it. Now that would be HOT!" I told her.
"And a nice way to mark your territory." She added.
"Well you already marked yours missy, I should get to mark mine as well."
"What?!?!? How did I mark my territory Edward?"
"Um, this Bella." I pulled down the collar of my shirt and pointed to the rather large purple hickey taking up residence where my neck and shoulder meet. "This is how you marked your territory. If you'd rather I can reciprocate and give you a mark, that would be far more fun for me right now."
"Oh my God Edward, I'm sorry. I must have gotten carried away last night." She was apologizing for getting carried away? Oh no, that was no good. I needed to encourage that kind of behavior. I got up from the table and made my way over to her. I wrapped my arms around her and pulled her close to me.
"Don't apologize for that. I was teasing you. I like that you got carried away. It was sexy as hell." I nipped at her earlobe as I spoke. "I love that I could make you lose control like that." She moaned. The sound vibrated down to my groin making me instantly hard. I kissed down her neck and moved my hands down to the hem of my shirt. She hadn't put any of her own clothes on yet so I had easy access. My fingers found her slick wet folds and I slid one finger inside of her. I started pumping and she started moaning. "More Edward, I need more." So I slid another finger inside of her. My thumb found her clit and started making small circles on it. She was moaning even loader now. I slid one more finger and pumped them in her, my thumb concentrating solely on her clit. Soon my name was falling from her lips and a thin sheen of sweat was on her forehead. Her breathing was labored. I took my fingers out of her and put them in my mouth. Her eyes were on me the entire time and when she saw me lick her off my fingers she licked her lips. I crashed my mouth against her and we both moaned. I had no doubt that she tasted herself on me.
I broke our kiss, trying to stay conscious of the time. I noticed it was getting late and pulled away from her. I smacked her ass when she turned to go into my room. "Go get ready, we're running a little late." Bella squealed and got ready rather quickly. We were in the car in 5 minutes and we made it to her place in record time.
"Come on up, no need for you to go in so early." She said to me. I parked and got out of my car and followed her upstairs to her apartment. Bella went into the kitchen and pour us both some coffee. "I put my coffee maker on a timer. Help yourself to whatever you want and make yourself comfortable. I'll be out shortly and we can go." With that she disappeared into her bedroom. I heard the shower turn on shortly after. I took my coffee and headed over to the couch. With nothing else to occupy myself with other then thoughts of Bella in the shower I turned on the TV. Might as well see what's going on in the world.
"And in other news, hearts are breaking all over Seattle this morning due to the pictures that have just emerged of Emmett Cullen and an unknown female companion at a recent Seattle Seahawks game. Onlookers stated that the two seemed very cozy the entire time. "They were making out like they were horny teenager. I thought Mr. and Mrs. Cullen raised their boys to be more respectful of others." One older man told us. Apparently he isn't one for PDA, huh Bob?"
"I guess not Mary. Well we've got one Cullen Boy off the market it looks like, but don't worry ladies there are 2 more."
What the hell? My phone rang just as I turned off the television. It was Emmett. I picked it up just as Bella's home phone started ringing. She was still in the shower so I let it ring and turned my attention to Emmett.
"Hey Em. Did you just watch the news?" I asked when I put the phone to my ear.
"Yeah man. Did you see all the hot girls that were sad because I've got Rosie? Ow, what was that for?" Emmett asked, I assumed it was Rose and that she smacked him. I heard her in the background telling him that if he wanted all those other girls, well let's just say that she was threatening his manhood. Mental note: Do NOT piss off Rosalie.
"Sorry Eddie. Rosie didn't like me talking about other girls. Anyways, I guess they haven't gotten wind of Jasper and Alice yet."
"Yeah, well Jazz has always been far more low key then you. It doesn't surprise me." I told him. Jazz was never one to openly date. He's a one woman guy; Em on the other hand had been publicly dating half of Seattle throughout the years. A story would pop up on one of those entertainment shows or the local news about Em and one of his many conquests every once in a while. It didn't happen all the time or anything, but it happened to him more than Jazz or I combined. Our parents were not all that pleased with the media attention he was getting, but that never stopped him. I know they are hoping that Rosalie will be able to tie him down.
"I'm sure they'll get wind of it sooner or later. I can't be the only one that has been spotted. That reminds me little brother, what happened after we left last night? Did you take Bella home right away or did you guys get FREAKA?" He said the last part in a sing song voice. And I am so not having this conversation in Bella's living room with her getting ready in her room.
"I'm actually at her place right now so I can't talk. We'll catch up at lunch. Look Em, I gotta run. See you in the office in a bit." I told him.
"You totally got some little bro. I'm proud of you. Lunch sounds good, maybe we can try that Thai place that just opened up. Oh I gotta go too, Rosalie is about to leave for work. See ya at the office!" Emmett hung up the phone and I sat back down on the couch to finish up my second cup of coffee.
Bella walked out the door looking beautiful as always in a fitted white blouse with ruffles and a black pencil skirt. She had on a pair of red heels that made me just want to drag her back in her room and fuck her senseless, but we just don't have time for that right now.
"You are so wearing those shoes again." I walked over to Bella and pulled her to me.
"You like them huh? Good." She gave me a chaste kiss on the lips and headed for her purse. "Ready to go Mr. Cullen?" I groaned. She'll be calling me that again with those shoes on later too.
"You're going to be the death of me woman. Let's go before I ravish you and we never leave this apartment." Bella laughed and took my hand to lead me out of the apartment. "Are you riding with me Bella?"
"I can take my own car if you want. I don't mind." She responded seeming nervous.
I grabbed her hand and lead her to my car. "Nonsense. You're riding with me. Let's go."
The ride to the office was comfortable. She told me more about herself. Seems she spent a great deal of time in the emergency room when she was younger. She was always falling down and getting cuts and bruises as well as a few broken bones. She told me that she was nervous about the presentation today. I told her she had nothing to be nervous about, all she was doing was observing, if anyone should be nervous it would be me. She laughed and told me I was amazing and I had nothing to be worried about either.
We pulled into the parking garage at the office and before Bella could open the door I grabbed her wrist and pulled her to me. I kissed her with everything I had. I needed the contact to get through the rest of my day. "Thank you." I said to her and released her wrist from my grasp.
"For what?" She asked me.
"For everything. Last night, this morning. For believing in me. You're amazing and you're mine. So thank you."
"And you're mine. Nothing to thank me for Edward. Now let's get upstairs and kick ass at that presentation." She gave me one more kiss before getting out of the car.
We went up the elevator together in silence, stealing glances at each other the entire way up. Once at our floor she grasped my hand in hers and gave a quick squeeze before going to her desk and I to my office. It was going to be a long day, but I couldn't be happier.
A little shorter chapter than normal, but I wanted to get this out. The meeting will be up next. Lots of stuff coming up, so stay tuned. Like I said earlier the next chapter will probably be delayed since I have my kids birthday party to attend to this week so I will leave you with some rec's.
Maybe I'm falling for you by coldplaywhore is freaking awesome. Bella and Edward meet on a chat room site and at a coffee shop. They don't know that they are each other's chat buddies. It's really good. Being updated weekly.
The Naked Guy Upstairs by AngryBadgerGirl. This is just good, love the manwhore Edward turned into sweet Edward that we all love.
Clipped Wings and Inked Armor by hunterhunting is just amazing and if you haven't read it yet you need to. So good. One of my all time favorites.
