I promised it wouldn't be a long wait for this chapter and I'm sorry that it's been 2 weeks. I have no explanation other than real life gets in the way sometimes. I hope this chapter was worth the wait.
Stephenie Meyer owns Edward and Bella, I'm just having a little fun with them.
Saturday morning I woke up happier than I had been in a long time, not that my life sucked or anything, but it was the first morning that I actually felt complete. I realized last night during our date that I was falling in love with Bella and I couldn't wait to tell her. It was too soon; I did realize that much, so my confession was going to have to wait. I got out of bed and did my morning routine, showering, shaving, etc. and it wasn't until I was doing my laundry that I realized I hadn't stopped whistling all morning. I had it bad for this girl. More so than any other woman I had ever met. I began thinking that this was far too fast and maybe I should pull back a bit, but then my mother's voice came into my head, "When it's right, you'll know it. Don't worry about how quickly it happens." She told each of us this time and time again when we were older and she was pushing us to meet the right girls. Hell Jazz was telling Alice he loved her after a week, I didn't know about Emmett and Rosalie yet, but by the look on both of their faces when they looked at each other it was clear as day that they loved one another, so I put my fears and doubts aside. This was it, Bella is the one I've been waiting for and I wasn't going to be a pussy about it because society tells us that 2 weeks isn't nearly enough time to fall in love with someone.
I was just finishing up putting away my now clean laundry when I heard my phone beep at me indicating I had a new text message. I picked it up and I don't think the smile that appeared on my face could have been any bigger if I tried. It was from Bella.
I had such a great time last night. Thank you for the best first date ever. Miss you already – B
I didn't respond right away because I wanted to think of something really good to say. My phone rang a few minutes later with a call from my mom. She wanted to invite me over for dinner later in the week and introduce me to "a very nice girl". I hadn't told her about Bella and me because I wasn't sure where things were headed with us, especially with the Tanya fiasco hanging over my head. I knew Bella was not pleased about that problem, but I've talked to her about a few times and she assures me that she knows Tanya is crazy and that I would never do the things she is accusing me of doing, not with her anyway. I took the opportunity to tell my mom that I was in fact seeing Bella now and that she could stop her matchmaking since all three of her boys were in relationships with beautiful, intelligent women. She was so happy she actually squealed, it reminded me of Alice and I had to wonder if they weren't somehow related.
"You have to bring her over for dinner on Saturday Edward. I am so happy that you two are dating. I love Bella like she was my own daughter." My mother said. I had to kindly decline for Saturday since we were going to Jacob's for dinner that night already. We made tentative plans that we would get together for dinner during the week in the city. There is this restaurant she's been dying to try and felt this was the perfect opportunity. I of course had to check with Bella and when I told my mother this she squealed again. I was seriously going to have to look into the possibility of Alice being my sister.
After 2 hours of talking to my mother my father got on the phone to talk to me about some up and coming company that is looking for advertising representation and asked me to do a little research on it for him. I of course said I would take care of it since my big campaign with Black Automotive is already in the works and all I really need to do with that is oversee its progress. Eventually I got off the phone four hours later. I noticed that I had two more text messages that must have come while I was on the phone with my parents. They were both from Bella.
I want to see you tonight, do you have any plans? – B
Oh I see how it is, you don't get any on the first date and now you're going to ignore me. LOL. Call me when you have a minute, I still want to see you tonight. – B
Just as I was about to respond my phone rang. I smirked when I saw on the caller ID that it was Bella. Had this been any other woman I would have been turned off by the amount of times she texted me in the past few hours, but this was Bella and I knew she wasn't desperate like some other women.
"Hello Beautiful" I answered.
"HMPH! Sweet talk will get you nowhere mister. I've been trying to get you to call me for hours and you just decided to ignore me. I was going to check one last time if you wanted to come over tonight before I went and made plans with Alice and Rosalie."
"Bella, I was on the phone with my parents for 4 hours, that's why I didn't respond to your messages and I would love to come over and spend the night with you."
"Who said anything about spending the night? Hmm? Pretty sure of yourself over there aren't you?" She responded
"Bella, Bella, Bella. We both know you can't resist me when I turn on the Cullen charm." I teased. I loved our easy banter. She could always give it as good as she got and I loved that about her.
"Cullen charm my ass. I can resist that so called charm with very little effort on my part."
"I accept your challenge Swan."
"Oh it's on Cullen. You are going down." Bella laughed.
"Oh, I'll be going down alright, but not the way you're thinking baby. You're going to be a puddle of goo when I'm done with you." I told her. I'm sure that she could tell that I had my signature smirk in place at that moment.
"Yeah, yeah, we'll just have to wait and see about that." She giggled. "So what time do you want to come over?"
"Well its 4:00 now, how about 6:30. Is that enough time for you to put up your defenses against my charm and sexiness?" I laughed because really who were we kidding, she could probably resist me a lot better than I would ever be able to resist her.
"6:30 is perfect and I never said anything about resisting your sexiness, there's no resisting that Edward."
"Oh really? So if I took my shirt off …" Bella cut me off before I could go any further, which was probably a good thing since we'd probably end up having phone sex. Not that I was opposed to that mind you, but I'd much rather have physical contact with her even if it would have to wait a few hours. Yeah, I could wait.
"Okay, I have to go now. Gotta build up those defenses. See you soon hot stuff." She hung up the phone before I could respond. I knew I had already gotten her worked up into a lather. Tonight was going to be fun.
6:35 and I was standing at Bella's door with a bottle of wine. I had already knocked and could hear her moving around her apartment with some music playing. I then heard her singing to whatever was playing. I knocked again, thinking she probably didn't hear me the first time, when she didn't answer that time either I tried the door, it was unlocked. As happy as I was that I wasn't going to have to keep knocking on the door and waiting out in the hallway I was disappointed that Bella didn't lock her door. Anyone could just walk right in. I was about to call her name to let her know I was here, but then she came into view in the living room. Bella was wearing a pair of jeans that hugged every curve with a purple tank top and she was barefoot. She had a hairbrush up to her mouth like a microphone and she was dancing to the beat of the song. I had to watch her, she was beautiful and carefree and thoroughly enjoying herself.
"And I said, Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone,
I'll be waiting all there's left to do is run,
You be the prince and I'll be the princess,
It's a love story, baby just say yes.
Romeo save me, They're tryin to tell me how to fe…."
Bella turned and saw me at that point and her face turned a bright red in embarrassment.
"Um, I didn't know you were here yet. Sorry about that….I get a little crazy sometimes with that song." Bella laughed. "Gotta love Taylor Swift."
"Don't apologize, that was HOT! I had no idea when I was coming over here that there'd be dinner and a show." I slowly walked over towards her and stopped a few inches away. I could reach out and touch her, so I did. I took her hand in mine and brought her to me. The song was still playing so I started swaying with her to the music. She laughed a little and buried her head in my chest.
"What's funny?" I asked her as I held her closer and took a deep breath to take in the scent of her hair.
"Nothing…I just don't normally let guys see me do that sort of thing this early on into a relationship, if ever. It's so embarrassing." She hid her face lower into my chest and I could feel the heat coming off of her, a tell tale sign that she was blushing pretty badly. I put my finger under her chin and lifter her eyes to mine so she could see that I was sincere when I spoke to her.
"Bella that was one of the hottest things I have ever seen, there is absolutely nothing to be embarrassed about. I wish you hadn't stopped." I kissed her on her nose then her cheeks and then lightly on her mouth.
"Really?"
"Really." I kissed her once again, but she wasn't having any of the chaste kisses. She parted her lips for me and I took the opportunity to explore her mouth with my tongue. She tasted sweet, like pineapple. I moaned in her mouth and she pulled away with a smirk on her face.
"Time for dinner Mr. Cullen." Bella pulled out of my grasp and went into the kitchen. I followed behind her watching the sway of her ass the entire way in there. What? I'm a guy, that's what we do.
"I brought some wine. Would you like me to open it?"
"Please. Why don't you pour us a glass and have a seat. I'll bring the food out in a minute."
I followed her directions and went to take a seat at her dining room table. It was a really nice table too; dark wood and it looked like it was made with thick planks of weathered wood. It had pieces of iron on it as well. It looked old, but well taken care of.
"Hey Bella?"
"Yeah?" she answered from the kitchen.
"Where'd you get this table? It's beautiful." I inquired. I don't know why, but I was in love with this table and hoped that when Bella and I moved in together she would keep this piece. Whoa, move into together? Where the fuck did that shit come from?
"Oh, that was my grandmother's. When she passed away she gave it to me in her will. It's the one thing she had that I constantly said I wanted when I was older. All my cousins wanted jewelry and material things, I wanted that table. It's been in my family for years and I just love the history of it and the texture of the wood." She had come into the dining room now with our dinner, I got up to help her but she waved me off. I sat back down in my seat and waited for her to sit.
"Bella, this looks so good. Thank you for making dinner tonight. Next time it's my turn." I took a heaping serving of the lasagna she made, some garlic bread and a little bit of salad and waited until she was ready. Once she had served herself we both started eating. It was delicious and I told her so.
"You cook? I had no idea." I nodded my head, my mouth too full to speak. "What do you like to make?"
I swallowed and wiped my mouth before answering her question. "Well I make a really great leg of lamb, steaks on the BBQ, salmon. The best thing though is my eggplant parmesan. It's really the easiest thing I make but it gets the most compliments. My mother loves it."
"Mmm, that does sound good. You'll have to make it for me some time."
"Sure, I'd love to show off my skills for you Bella." I responded and winked at her.
"So when are you going to unleash the Cullen charm on me?" She asked.
"Ouch, that hurts Bella, it really does." I told her with mock pain as I placed my hands over my chest. Bella just laughed at me. I was going to have to up my game here if I was going to make her that pile of goo I promised.
We finished our dinner and worked together in the kitchen to clean up the dishes and the mess that comes with making dinner. We talked more about our families and friends as we worked. It felt right, like this is what we should be doing forever. We cleaned up rather quickly and moved to the living room to watch a movie.
"So what do you want to watch? I think I might have some action movies over there if you want to check out the collection." Bella hadn't sat down yet since she was grabbing some blankets and more wine for our viewing pleasure.
I went over to her collection of DVD's and she had quite a few good titles but I settled on The Hangover. That movie is the funniest damn thing I've seen in a long fucking time.
"Excellent choice. I actually just got that for Christmas from Rose and haven't had a chance to break that in yet." We had finally gotten settled on the couch, Bella nuzzled into my side with her glass of wine in one hand while her other hand was on my chest. The blanket she brought over was big enough for two so we shared. I kissed her head just as the movie started and she looked up at me with a big smile on her face.
We watched the movie together and I somehow managed to keep my hands to myself even though I wanted to nothing but very dirty things to her. It was almost over when I noticed that Bella had fallen asleep on my chest. I took her now empty wine glass from her hand and placed it on the table. I slowly moved from under her and picked her up to carry her to her bed. Thinking it wasn't comfortable to sleep in jeans I slipped them off of her and again suppressed my urge to do all the things I wanted to do to right then. She stirred when I pulled the covers over her and opened her eyes to see what was going on.
"Edward?"
"Yeah baby?"
"Stay with me?" she asked me sleepily. Like I would say no to that.
"Of course. I'm going to go lock up and be right back." I gave her a quick kiss on her forehead and went to the living area to clean up and lock up her apartment. When I got back into Bella's room she was snoring, rather loudly. I slipped off my jeans and my shirt and climbed into bed behind her. I pulled her sleeping form to my chest and wrapped my arms around her before drifting off to sleep.
The next morning I woke up to an empty bed. I got up and used the bathroom before I began my search for Bella. I went out to the living room and she wasn't there. The kitchen was empty as well. That's weird, that's not like her to just leave, and then I noticed a note taped to the refrigerator.
Edward – Went out to grab some coffee and bagels. Be back in a few. – Bella
Well that explains where she went then. I decided to take a quick shower while I waited for her. I showered relatively quickly, noticing that I was going to smell like Bella today since I used her shampoo and body wash, which made me smile a little. I got out and after drying off I put the clothes I had on last night and went back into the living room to wait. Bella was already back and in the kitchen unloading the bagels and cream cheese along with two coffees. It looked as though she had been crying though so I rushed over to her and pulled her into my chest. The sobs started as soon as my arms were around her. I waited until the sobs subsided before asking her what was wrong. There was no possible way she'd be able to form a coherent sentence in the state she was in.
"Baby, what's wrong?" I whispered into her ear. I rubbed circles on her back to soothe her and it seemed to be helping.
"I'm sorry Edward."
"Shhh, it's alright. You have nothing to apologize for. Please tell me what's wrong?"
"I saw my ex at the bagel shop and he…he…oh Edward." She started sobbing again, so I continued to soothe her until she calmed down.
"Sorry. My ex was there and he said that he should have never let me go and that we were meant to be together. When I told him that I was seeing you and that you were it for me he got mad. He called me every name in the book. He said that he hoped you broke my heart and I wound up alone and if you didn't then he would make sure that it happened."
My anger flared. I was fucking pissed, how dare this asshole say these things to my Bella. I wanted to find him and rip him limb from limb. I took a deep breath and counted to 10 to calm myself down. Getting homicidal wasn't going to help right now.
"It's okay baby. I'm sure he was just mad because you were happy and he's a miserable fuck. It'll all be okay. I'm not going anywhere." I told her soothingly. I did pretty damn well if I do say so myself.
Bella finally stopped crying and excused herself to freshen up. I took care of breakfast and made sure everything was ready for her when she came back out. I didn't want to dwell on what that asshole said to her, but I needed more information, like the name of this fucker so I could find him and rip him a new asshole.
Bella came back out of her room, eyes still red and puffy but looking a lot better. She gave me a weak smile and came over to give me a hug.
"Thank you." She leaned up and gave me a kiss on my jaw.
"For what?"
"For being here for me. How did I get so lucky?"
"You must have done something REALLY good in a past life to deserve me." I told her with a big cocky smile. Yeah I was being an ass, but she loved it and I love her, so I would do anything to make her smile. It worked like a charm.
"I must have. So how about those bagels? I'm starved."
We ate breakfast in silence and before long I was walking out the door. I gave her a kiss goodbye and told her I'd call her later to check on her. I didn't particularly want to leave her, especially with everything that happened this morning, but she had her Sunday brunch with the girls to get to. I was going to have to find out where they go and get Em and Jazz to come crash their little party with me.
Back in my condo I noticed that my answering machine was blinking so I went over to listen to the messages.
You have 5 new messages
Saturday, 6:20 pm: Edward, where are you? You're not at your condo. I stopped by to give you a surprise and you weren't there. You better not have gone to see that slut Isabella.
Okay, that was really weird. I don't even know who that was.
Saturday, 6:25 pm: Edward, this is Tanya. I'm sorry baby; I didn't mean to get so angry with you. Of course you wouldn't go see that little hussy. I love you.
What the fuck?!?!
Saturday 6:30 pm: EDWARD!!! I know you're with that bitch, I saw you go into her apartment building. You better not be fucking her Edward.
Okay, this is seriously fucked up. I am going to have to take these into work on Monday for HR.
Saturday 6:31 pm: Hi sweetie, it's your mother. I was wondering if you had a chance to speak with Bella about dinner later this week. I need to make reservations as soon as possible. Call me when you get a chance. I love you sweetheart.
I never thought I would be so happy to hear my mother's voice on my answering machine.
Sunday 12:34 am: Edward, god dammit why are you still with her? I haven't seen you come out of her apartment and I am not happy. I will make your life a living hell if you're cheating on me with that skanky little home wrecking whore. I swear I will Edward….What?!?! No I don't have any fucking change you lazy good for nothin..
End of messages
Now what the fuck do I do? I call my father, that's what I do.
"Hello?" My mother answered on the second ring.
"Hey mom, can I talk to dad please?" I asked her in an urgent tone.
"Sure sweetie. Did you get my message last night? Did you have a chance to talk to Bella?"
"I got your message this morning, I actually just got in and no I haven't had chance to talk to Bella yet, sorry. I'll call her today about it."
"Alright honey. Is everything alright, you sound a little frazzled." She asked me. I could hear rustling in the background.
"Yeah, I'm fine. I just really need to talk to dad."
"Okay, here he is. Talk to Bella and let me know, okay?"
"Okay mom. I love you."
"Love you too."
"Hello?" My dad was on the phone now.
"Hey dad, I have a bit of an issue. Can you come over?" I asked him. He must have noticed the urgency in my voice because he told me he'd be over shortly. I hung up the phone and paced. Twenty minutes later there was a knock on my door. Paranoia set in and I took a look through the peep hole to see who it was. It was my dad thank goodness. I opened the door for him and quickly looked around for any sign of crazy Tanya, but saw nothing. I shut the door behind me and locked it.
"Edward, what's going on?" My father asked, worry clear on his features.
"You need to listen to these messages I have on my machine." I walked over to the answering machine, my father on my heels, and pressed play. We listened to all the messages and the look on my father's face was a mixture of worry and anger. I knew he'd be pissed, but the question was what to do about it.
"That girl is crazy Edward. First thing's first, you need to change your number here at the house. Has she called your cell?"
"No, no calls on the cell."
"Good, okay. The next thing we need to do is go to the police station and get a restraining order for you and it would probably be a good idea to get one for Bella too. Tomorrow we will take this tape into HR for the investigation, of course this means that your relationship with Bella will be out at the office."
I nodded my head, overwhelmed by what was happening. How on earth did this crazy woman get my phone number, or even think that I was interested in her. That one still boggles my mind.
"You go ahead and take care of the phone situation; I'll call Bella and have her meet us at the police station. Do you have a tape player that we can bring with us to the station? They'll need just cause to issue the restraining order."
"I think I have one in my office. I'll be right back." When I walked back into the room my dad was on the phone. I could tell that he was trying to calm someone down. If he was talking to Bella I really hope that she isn't too scared right now.
"Okay, yes 30 minutes should be enough time. See you there Bella. Bye." My dad then hung up his cell. "Oh good, you found it. Let's take the tape out of the machine. Bella will meet us at the station in half an hour. Hopefully that'll give you enough time to take care of changing your number. Make sure you ask them to make it unlisted, the last thing we need or want is to have Tanya get your new number."
"Was she alright?" I asked him as I dialed the number for the phone company.
"She was a little shaken, but more worried about you. She's a tough girl that one. She threatened "to take the crazy bitch out if she touched you". That was a direct quote. I never realized Bella was quite so feisty." I chuckled because yeah, my girl could be really feisty when she wanted to be.
"You don't want to get on her bad side dad, trust me."
"Thank you for calling the phone company, this is Anne, how can I help you today?"
"Hi, Anne. I need to change my phone number and I need it unlisted please."
"No problem. I just need your name, last four digits of your social security number and your home address."
I gave her all the information she requested and not ten minus later I had a new, unlisted, phone number. We then took off for the police station, tape player in hand. Bella was waiting out front when we pulled up and I immediately went to her and wrapped her in a hug.
"I'm so sorry baby." I whispered into her hair right before placing a kiss on her head.
"You have nothing to apologize for Edward. Let's get this done so I can take you home to my place and take care of you."
I gently pulled Bella to me and kissed her, hard. "I love you, Bella. So much." She had the most beautiful smile light up her face in that moment. It wasn't the way I wanted to tell her, but I felt better having said it out loud. "Let's get this over with." I tugged her hand and we went into the police station to take care of getting the restraining orders.
An hour and a half later we had two restraining orders in place against Tanya. I felt a little better knowing she would go to jail if she got within 100 yards from us, but there was still an underlying fear that she would hurt Bella in some way, restraining order or not.
"I want you two to move into the corporate condo for the time being." My dad told us after we left the police station. "Just until this mess is taken care of. I couldn't live with myself if anything happened to either one of you and we don't know what Tanya is capable of." I could tell that Bella was about to say something, but my dad cut her off before she had a chance. "No arguments. I'll make the call."
Bella and I went our separate ways to gather up some clothes and whatever else we would need that the condo for a few days. She had yet to say anything about my 'I love you' earlier, but she hadn't really had the chance to respond. I could see in her eyes that she loves me too, so I would wait for her to say it back to me. I was as giddy as a teenage girl that I had told her, it was like there was a weight lifted off me. Sure it wasn't the most romantic way to tell her, outside a police station when we're about to go in and get restraining orders issued from some psychotic bitch who thought I was hers, but the smile that lit up her face after hearing my confession was so worth it.
When I walked out of my condo I noticed a red Honda Civic parked across the street. I couldn't tell who was in it because the windows were tinted, but I could make out that there was in fact a person sitting in the car and whoever it was was watching me. I had a feeling it was Tanya, but I couldn't be sure. I wanted to go over there and knock on the window and make her leave us alone, but thought better of it and just got into the Range Rover.
As I pulled out I looked into the rearview mirror and noticed the red car start moving as well. The car made a u-turn and was following me. There was no way was leading her to the corporate condo so she knew where we were so I made a few turns and stopped at a coffee shop. I stayed in there for what seemed like hours. I called Bella and told her what was happening and she said she'd be waiting for me at the condo. I called my dad as well and he felt it was best for me to call the police, so that's what I did. They said they would come and check it out, but by the time they got here the red car was gone.
Feeling better about not having Tanya following me I made a quick escape to the condo. I was paranoid and kept looking in all directions for the little red car, but saw nothing the entire way there. I pulled into the underground parking and let out the breath that I didn't know I was holding. I was relieved, I was about to see Bella and the best part was I wouldn't have to leave her at night. At least something good could come out of this mess.
I took my things out of the back of the car and went up the elevator to the top floor where the condo was located. I had the key in the door just as it swung open. Bella threw herself into my arms and nearly knocked me back with the force. She pulled away slightly and began peppering kisses all along my face and neck. "I'm so glad you're okay. I was getting worried." She said before continuing her assault on my face and neck.
"I'm okay baby. Really. Come on let's go inside." Bella slid off of me and I grabbed my bag off the floor and we made our way into the condo. I hadn't been here in years and forgot how nice it was. The company paid a pretty penny for this place. My dad mostly used it when he was working crazy hours and didn't want to drive all the way back home. My mother had decorated the space and it looked more like a bachelor pad then corporate housing. The space was open, the kitchen, living room and dining room were all open to each other. There were 3 bedrooms and 3 full baths as well. In the living room there was a huge leather sofa with matching loveseat and chairs. A big flat screen TV and every DVD imaginable adorned the wall. There was a huge fireplace just to the right of the TV. The dining room had a huge table that could be used for meetings as well as having multiple guests over for dinner. The kitchen had state of the art everything; it was a chef's dream. I had no doubt that Bella was going to enjoy cooking in here.
"I cannot wait to get in that kitchen." Bella said as she wrapped her arms around my waist from behind.
"I was actually just thinking that you were going to enjoy cooking in here, as well as other activities." I told her with a smirk.
"What other activities are you referring to exactly?"
"Oh, I don't know. I was thinking that I could take you, right here, on the counter. That would be fucking hot."
"That would be hot, Edward." She leaned in and gave me a searing kiss. It soon turned frantic and we were tearing each other's clothes off. Once we were both naked I pulled her up and placed her on the counter. I kissed her neck and traveled down to her collarbone, then to her beautiful breasts. I sucked on one pert nipple then the other before I made my way back to her luscious lips. My hands slid down her stomach and traveled further down to her hot mound. My fingers slowly slid in between her wet lips as my thumb played with her clit. I slid a finger inside of her and she moaned, then I slid in another and she got louder. Curling my fingers so that I could hit her g-spot she started coming undone. She came hard around my fingers. Bella was panting and trying to get her breathing under control, but I could wait no longer to be inside of her, so I grabbed my cock and positioned it right at her entrance. The tip slid in ever so slowly. "Edward, ung...you feel so good. More…I need….more." In one long thrust I was deep inside her. Her legs were wrapped around my waist, her hands on the counter supporting her as she leaned back. Her back was arched, her chest right in front of my face. I needed to have one of her nipples in my mouth. I licked and sucked and nibbled and both nipples as I thrust inside of her. Her moans and pleas for more only spurring me on. I wasn't sure how much longer I was going to last so I moved my hand to where we were connected and started making circles on her swollen clit. She moaned, loud when I pinched her clit, I could feel her walls tightening and I knew she was close. I continued my ministrations with a little more pressure and soon she was screaming my name. "Eddddwaaaaarrrrrdddd… Oh..fuck me…GOD….UUUGGGGHHHH!!!" she screamed.
"That's right baby…cum for me." Three more powerful thrusts and I was crying out her name. "Beelllla…holy fuck baby." I leaned forward and placed kisses along her shoulder. Bella wrapped her arms around my neck and held me there like her life depended on it. I pulled back to look at her and there were tears in her eyes. "Bella, what's wrong?"
She shook her head as the tears kept coming. I hoped I hadn't hurt her, I couldn't understand why she was crying. She finally spoke and her words practically had me jumping for joy.
"Nothing is wrong. I just…Gah, why do I have to be such a girl sometimes?" she wiped the tears from her eyes before she took my face in her hands and stared into my eyes. "I love you too Edward. So much that it hurts to be away from you. When Carlisle called and told me about the messages Tanya left you and how she was stalking us I was so pissed and scared. I don't know what I would do if anything happened to you." She started crying again and now it was my turn to hold onto her for dear life.
My cell phone began to ring, but I ignored it. My girl needed me right now and I wasn't going anywhere. The ringing stopped then started back up again. Bella's phone started ringing as well. "I better get that." I pulled away from her and found my phone in my pants pocket.
"Hello"
"Edward, it's Em! You need to come to the hospital right away. There's been an accident. It's dad."
I'm going to go hide now. Next chapter is already in the works, promise I won't keep you waiting as long this time.
