WOW, I have just been an epic failure at getting this chapter out and for that I am so very sorry. No excuses, just lots going one.
This chapter is basically just filler, not too much going on here, but it's fun none the less if I do say so myself. Enjoy my lovelies, then review because your words make me want to write more, no really they do. I'm not just saying that.
Saturday found us in the city looking at furniture to fill our new house. Bella and I had agreed to sell our current things and get all new stuff, things that were us. We had already decided on the dining room table and hutch, living room furniture and the guest room furnishings and were now looking at beds for our room.
"What about this one Edward?" Bella had been walking around the showroom sitting on various beds for the last half hour. We were having trouble agreeing on anything though. Our styles weren't that different, but I tended to like the things that cost a little more whereas Bella didn't want to spend so much on a bed. The one she currently had her eye on was alright, but it looked like it would break with one rough session of love making and there was no way I was going to be able to stop myself from taking her hard when the opportunity arose.
"I don't know Bella. It doesn't look too sturdy." I told her with my signature smirk in place. She was sitting on the bed bouncing up and down causing her chest to bounce. I went to stand in front of her, running my nose up her jaw line. "Do you think it'll hold up when we get a little…" I paused momentarily to run my hand up her exposed leg. She was wearing a skirt today and I couldn't have been happier about it. "rough?"
"Holy fuck." The heat was coming off her body in waves. I don't think I'll ever get tired of the way her body reacts to me. I pressed myself into her and just as my hand was about to reach her scorching hot center someone cleared their throat behind us.
"Have we decided?" The saleswoman asked looking none too pleased with our little display.
"I think we're done for the day. Why don't you go ring up our purchases and we can be on our way." The saleswoman, Norma, nodded and walked away.
"Edward, we didn't pick out our bedroom furniture."
"There's this shop about two blocks from here, my mom goes there for her furniture, and they have one of a kind pieces. I'm sure we'll find something more to our taste there. Don't worry baby. I told you we'd get all our furniture ordered today and we will. Promise." I kissed her temple and led her to the back to finalize our purchases.
After setting up the delivery and paying we were on our way to the other store. Bella's eyes widened when we entered. She would no doubt have something to say about the price of the pieces here, but I didn't care, we needed a good quality bed, I wouldn't settle for anything less than perfect for our bedroom.
"Edward, this place is amazing." She walked over to check out a couple of things. She turned rather suddenly, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "That's it Edward. I found our bed." I looked around the store to see what she was talking about but there was so much here that it was hard to tell what she was pointing at. "Come on." Her hand wrapped around mine and she pulled me behind her to see whatever had her so excited. I have to admit that I enjoyed walking behind her, her ass was magnificent. "Stop staring at my ass and look at this Edward." Damn, I'd been caught. When I looked up I saw why she was so excited. It was perfect. A large California King sized sleigh bed. The color was perfect, dark and rich. The intricate detailing on the head and footboards were beautiful. Bella's fingers traced the lines of the design as she took it all in. There were two matching dressers as well as two night stands to go along with the bed, all in all I'd say it was perfect.
"I love it baby. I think it's perfect for our room." I told her honestly.
"Can I help you?" Came a voice behind me. We turned around to greet the man who would be helping us.
"Yes, we'd like this set…Alec." I motioned to the bed we were interested in. Bella was checking out the dresser, not paying us any attention at all.
"Very good choice sir. I'll go ahead and write it up, but before I do would you like to look around for anything else or are we just getting the bedroom set today?" I looked around the store and spotted a pool table off in the corner of the warehouse. I really wanted to take a look at it and hopefully convince Bella that we need it in the new house.
"Let us look around some more, if we'd like anything else we'll let you know." I told him, still staring at the pool table. It would be perfect in the basement of the house for the man room.
"Very good sir. Let me know if you have any questions about any of the pieces." Alec walked off, leaving Bella and I alone once again. I walked up behind her, placing my hands around her waist. She was still admiring our new bed.
"Mmmm, I love being in your arms Edward and I love this bed. I can't wait to test it out at home." My lips found their way to her pulse point right behind her ear, that particular spot always drives her crazy with desire. I could feel her skin getting hotter as I kissed her along her jaw then back to her ear, stopping to suck on her delicate earlobe. "God Edward. How can I always want you this much?"
I continued my assault on her neck, my cock getting harder by the second. We needed to stop this; otherwise I would have no choice but to test out our new bed right here in the store. Granted it was empty, but I don't think the sales people would be too happy about us having sex on the sales floor. "I don't know, but it's the same for me. I can't seem to get enough of you." I tell her honestly. "We need to stop though baby. I want to show you something." I reluctantly pull away from her but held her hand, dragging her over to the pool table.
"So fucking hot." I heard Bella say behind me, it was low and I almost didn't hear it. I looked back at her to see what she was talking about only to find her staring at my ass, just as I was doing to her earlier.
"Bella, are you staring at my ass?" I asked her with a chuckle. She blushed slightly from being caught, but the embarrassment doesn't last long as she pinches my left ass cheek.
"If you can stare at mine I can stare at yours Cullen." Fuck…I love when she gets like this, it's so sexy. Unfortunately we are still in public and we need to get back to the task at hand.
"You're killing me Bella." I give her a little kiss on the lips before releasing her to show her the pool table. "So what do you think?" I motion to the pool table, but her eyes are closed.
"Hmm?" I think you should never stop kissing me." I can't help but chuckle at her. She's so damn cute.
"Well, I would agree with that, but I was talking about this piece of furniture for the house." She opened her eyes and looked around, her eyes settling on my hand sitting on the pool table.
"A pool table?" She says excitedly. This wasn't really the reaction I was expecting, but I have to say I am pleasantly surprised that she's not throwing a fit, but in reality I should have known better. Bella is unlike any other woman I have ever met. "Edward, we have to get this. It would be perfect for the basement. Oooh, and look at that bar over there." Before I could close my mouth and recover from the shock of not having to fight for this she was off looking at the bar. "Are you coming over here or what?" Bella called me over to look at the bar. I was stuck in place, still in shock that she was all for this without me having to try and convince her. I was really looking forward to using my charm and lips and hands to convince her that we needed this pool table. Right then I decided that I really was the luckiest bastard on the face of the planet.
"Yeah. Be right there baby." As soon as I saw the bar she was standing next to I agreed with her. It was perfect. "Wow, that's just…" I couldn't find the words. The bar was amazing. It matched the finish of the pool table perfectly and even came with 6 bar stools. It was huge, but the basement was pretty big so I had no doubt that we'd have plenty of room for that, the pool table and even a theater area if we wanted.
"Perfect, right? But do you think it's too big for the space?" She asked, thinking about the size of the room, just as I had been.
"No, I think we'll still have plenty of room. Maybe we can even put a couch and TV in there for a little entertainment center."
"You, my love, are a genius." She gave me a smoldering kiss which I of course returned in kind. "So I guess we need a couch and maybe an entertainment center then too, right?" She asked against my lips. I grunted my approval.
We found a sectional sofa and a nice entertainment until for the basement thirty minutes later. There was a lot of kissing and groping being done behind massive pieces so that the sales people wouldn't see us, but once we finally made it up to Alec he couldn't hide the knowing smirk that crossed his features, so I knew that they had cameras around the showroom and had caught everything. I just hoped that we wouldn't be up on YouTube by the end of the day. Yeah that would really suck, although seeing a video of Bella and I might be kind of a turn on. I wonder if I can convince her to let me film us while we have sex. Now that would be hot. I could feel the strain of my pants as I thought about the possibilities.
"What are you thinking about?" Bella whispered in my ear as Alec ran my credit card through and looked at the delivery schedule.
"You, me, our new bed and…"
"Here we go. We can deliver your furniture next Wednesday at 7:30 in the evening, does that work for you?" Alec asked, placing the receipt in front of me to sign. I was actually surprised that Bella didn't make a fuss of the price of the things we purchased, she usually didn't like me spending any money on her, let alone this much, it was as much for me as her though, so maybe that's why she wasn't complaining.
"That should work perfectly. We can grab some take out and bring it to the house to wait, the dining room table and chairs should be there by then. What do you think sugar booger?" Bella had resorted to finding a nickname for me for the past week and unfortunately she had latched onto to sugar booger. I hated it.
"First of all, don't call me sugar booger, it's gross. Secondly, I think that sounds like a good plan."
"But I like sugar booger. I think it's cute." I gave her a stern look, or what was meant to be, she just burst into a fit of giggles but finally relented, although I doubted it would last long. I'd no doubt hear 'sugar booger' again before the weekend was over.
"Think of something else please." I pleaded. If you think about it the term sugar booger is pretty damn disgusting, a sugary booger? Who wants to be called that? Not me.
"Alright, alright. You're no fun. Let me see…" She thought and thought until we were in the car, where she thought some more. Nicknames spouted from her beautiful mouth as she thought of them and I nixed them all, they were either too cutesy or just absurd. I know I could have just let her call me whatever she wanted, but let's be real here people, she'd be using this name in public, would you want to be called Pickle Head in front of people? I think not. She was quiet for a few minutes, so I looked at her, I could literally see the wheels turning in her head. "OH! I got it!" She said rather loudly, in fact I almost swerved into oncoming traffic because she scared the shit out of me. "Sorry, didn't mean to scare you."
"It's okay." I grabbed her hand and brought it to my lips for a quick kiss. "So, lay it on me."
"Cupcake." She said bouncing in her seat, something I assume she got from Alice. I wasn't sure what she was talking about cupcakes for though, did she want a cupcake? I scanned the street looking for a bakery, but couldn't see anything.
"You want a cupcake?" I asked her with a raised eyebrow.
"No, silly. That's your new nickname. Cupcake. I LIKE IT!" Oh fuck me! She can't be serious. I think I liked sugar booger better, nope, scratch that, but there had to be something less feminine to call me than cupcake.
"Um, Bella."
"Nope, don't try to talk me out of it cupcake. You get to call me baby and you know as well as I do that I am all woman, there is nothing to remind you of a baby under these clothes." She ran her hands down her body and all of a sudden all I could think about was getting her back home and peeling off those clothes to take a look for myself. "So, we got interrupted at the store when you were telling me what you were thinking about. Tell me. Me, you, our new bed and…?"
"A video camera, baby." I looked over at her and saw a scowl on her face. Guess she didn't like that idea.
"A video camera? Really Edward? You want to film us having sex?" Her tone was slightly angry, but she didn't look that upset. She looked like she might be teasing me, but I really wasn't sure.
"Um.." I ran my hand through my hair trying like hell to come up with something to possibly defuse the situation, but was coming up blank.
"Well?" She asked, her arms crossed over her chest. I decided to pretend I didn't just say that and hope that she just followed my lead and forgot I said anything.
"We're home. Come on, I'm starving." I practically leapt out of the car once I was parked. I went over to her side to help her out, she gave me her hand, but there was a scowl on her face, I guess the possible teasing look was a temporary thing. Way to get your foot in your mouth Cullen, what the hell is wrong with you? Only someone like Paris Hilton likes to make sex tapes.
"Edward!" She was getting pissed now, I could tell not only by her stance, but the tone of her voice. Oh boy, I was going to be in for it. Once again I wanted to pretend it didn't happen
"Chinese sounds good to me what do you think baby?" I asked her once in the elevator. She was still glaring at me when got inside. "I think I'm in the mood for something spicy. What about you?" I turned to look at her but she was walking into the bedroom. "Bella." I called out. Great, just great. Now I've gone and done it.
"Okay, I guess we're not eating tonight." I said to myself. I put the menu down and followed Bella's path into the bedroom. She had the bathroom door closed, so I assumed she was in there, when I heard the water running in the sink it confirmed my suspicions. I knocked tentatively on the door; lord knows I don't want to anger her any further. "Bella? Honey can you come out please. I didn't mean it; I was just throwing around an idea. I thought you'd be into it. I swear I didn't mean to insult you or demean you in any way baby. Please come out and talk to me."
"I'll be out in a minute Edward. Go ahead and order the Chinese, you know what I like." I couldn't tell if she was crying or not since she was so muffled, but I was willing to bet my paycheck she was. I'm such a douche. I pressed my forehead on the door hoping to feel her, that connection we shared to tell me that everything was going to be okay, but I couldn't feel anything. Stupid heavy ass fucking door.
"Okay." I said softly, feeling utterly defeated then turned and left the room. God what a fucking idiot I am. Who says that to their girlfriend? Hey Baby, you wanna make a sex tape? Yeah that's a great fucking idea.
When I got into the kitchen I had lost my appetite, but ordered the food anyway, hoping that by the time it got here we'd be okay again. I took out a beer and sat on the couch looking for something to watch. I was so angry with myself. I didn't really mean it, well part of me meant it, but I had no idea the suggestion would get this kind of reaction from her. I expected her to slap my chest and call me an idiot, but not this locking herself in the bathroom crap.
"Fuck this." I got up off the couch and stormed in the direction of the bedroom. There was no way that I was just going to sit here and wonder why she'd gotten so worked up over something that I wasn't even really serious about. We were going to talk this shit out and now. The door to the bedroom was locked. Hmm, I didn't lock it when I left, she must have come out and locked it at some point. I knocked on the door lightly, there was no answer. I couldn't hear anything behind the door, so I knocked again a little stronger this time, I still got no response.
"Bella? Bella are you in there?" Was she in there, of course she was you dumb fuck who else would lock the door? "Baby, please open the door so we can talk about this. I was only half serious with that lame suggestion. Had I known you'd react this way I would have just kept my damn mouth shut. Please baby, I'm sorry for being a douche." There was still no answer at the door, but this time I could hear movement behind the door. "Bella. Bella, please. I love you; I don't want to fight with you." I heard the lock click then the door opened just as a hand grabbed a hold of my forearm and pulled me in. The door closed again quickly. I had no idea what was going on, the room was pitch black and I couldn't see anything. "Bella?" I asked, putting my arms out to feel around for her, but came up with nothing.
"You know Edward; I always had a feeling that you had a kinky side to you. I thought maybe you'd pull out handcuffs, blindfolds, whips, you know stuff like that at some point, but never and I mean never did I peg you for a home movie kind of man. I have to tell you that it makes me more than just a little…" I heard her huff in frustration and I was getting nervous. Was she planning on breaking up with me over this? No, she wouldn't do that.
"Baby, I wasn't even serious when I said that. I really just wanted to get a reaction out of you. I'm so sor…" My words were cut off by her fingers.
"No, you didn't let me finish. I was going to say that the thought of you wanting to do filthy things to me on video just makes me so….mmmm…God Edward. It fucking turns me on." Say what?
"WHAT? I thought you were pissed at me? I was out there thinking you were mad at me and…and…holy hell Bella." She was in my arms in an instant kissing my neck, my hands were tight around her waist, which felt naked, but at that moment I was just happy she wasn't pissed at me.
"How could I be mad at you silly? You're everything to me. I would do anything for you, you just have to ask." Her lips were on my jaw kissing and licking and oh God, nibbling. It felt so damn good. "Wait here baby." I squeaked out an okay as she slipped away from me. The lights came on and what I saw made my jaw drop. She had it all set up, a video camera on a tripod, candles set on the dresser and night stands, rose petals on the bed, she had done a lot in here. I was shocked. Music started playing then I looked at Bella and sweet baby Jesus the woman was going to kill me. She had on this navy blue lace bra that hugged her beautiful breasts, I could see her pink nipples through the material and if that wasn't enough there were the matching boy shorts that left absolutely nothing to the imagination. Her hair was teased making it look like she just had the best sex of her life. She was about to I could tell you that much. It looked like she put on some darker color on her eyes to give them a sultry smoky appearance. She looked like a goddess. Her feet were bare and it made her even sexier. She didn't need fuck me heels to make her a seductress, Bella was already like that without even trying.
Bella went over and did something with the video recorder, I assumed turning it on. I gulped, holy shit we were really going to do this. She then went to the bed crawling up towards the top like some kind of lion and looking at me like I was her prey. "Come here you naughty boy!" She crooked her finger at me and licked her lips. I think I may be in shock because I just stood there, mouth agape, staring at her like she had three heads. "Are you just gonna stand there and watch me baby? I can give you a little show if you want." I gulped again and she giggled. My pants felt like they were going to rip at the seams I was so fucking hard right now. "Okay then." She said as she leaned back against the headboard and started moving her hand down from her long neck to her breasts. Both of her hands were lightly massaging each breast over her bra, then I saw her pinch her nipples, she let out a sexy moan as she did this and arched her back. "Mmm, Edward." She moaned as she teased her nipples. I could see her adding more pressure as she continued to massage herself. It was taking everything I had to stay put and just watch, I wanted in the game damn it, but I was enjoying the show too much. Her right hand slowly ventured south, caressing her tight stomach then lower until she was almost touching her covered pussy. Her hand starting moving again, but this time it went up and under the lace boyshorts that I desperately wanted to rip off with my teeth. I could see her hand moving into her folds since the panties were practically see through already and damn if it didn't make me harder. Her face popped up, her dark eyes fixed on me. I hadn't even realized it, but I was stroking myself through my pants as I watched her get herself off. "Oh God Edward, I love watching you stroke your big cock. That is so…ungh….sexy. Oh…oh fuck…I'm gonna….oooooohhhhhh Edwaaaaarrrrdddd!" Oh good lord I have the sexiest woman in the world.
"Fuck baby that was so hot." My hand was still on my cock, stroking faster, but it wasn't enough. I needed Bella and I needed her now. I stalked over to the bed, pulling off my shirt as I went, and then started unbuckling my belt. Bella crawled toward me once I reached the foot of the bed and helped me with the button and zipper on my jeans. Her hands swiftly rid me of my pants and boxers at the same time.
"Looks like someone is happy to see me." She said, her finger lightly skimming the hot skin on my cock.
"Oh you have no idea baby. He wants to do very bad things to you after your little show. I don't think I can talk him out of them either so I hope you're ready."
"Well then…" she scooted back to the headboard, crooked her finger at me and said, "let's see what you got."
She didn't need to tell me twice, I was on her in a matter of seconds. Hands caressing her breasts, lips sucking her neck and my left leg in between hers up against her hot and very wet center. I needed her closer to me, so I slid my hand under her, pressing her chest into me. Her whimper told me she liked the contact which is good since I didn't ever want to let her go. I slowly teased her with my hands and mouth, never touching her in the places she wanted me the most just to extend the pleasure we were giving each other. She was panting beneath me and I hadn't even gotten started yet. I kissed the spot under her ear and whispered all the things I wanted to do to her. Some of them were downright filthy but they just seemed to spur her on. My mouth found hers and I plunged my tongue into her like some sort of crazed sex fiend. Hell maybe I am one, but I can honestly say that no one has ever made me feel like I could never get enough of them, no one except Bella. I hoped that the feeling never ended, even when we were old and grey. Bella had her hands in my hair just like she knows how I like it. Pulling, massaging and pulling some more as our kiss became more heated.
"Edward" Her breathing was labored and her body overheating beneath me. Her hands were moving down my back, scratching all the way down as she went, then they were on my bare ass squeezing and kneading me trying to push me into her. I got the not so subtle hint so I moved my legs so I was positioned between hers, her legs instinctively wrapped around my waist, her heels on my ass cheeks pushing. I couldn't hold out any more, I entered her in one quick thrust. We both moaned at the point of impact. I held still for a minute trying really hard not to just plow into her. I wanted to make this last, especially since we were on video. I can't go embarrassing myself on camera, I'd never be able to live that shit down. "Edward, I need you to move, you're killing me cupcake." I growled at her for the ridiculous nickname that she refused to let go. I started to move, thrusting in and out of her trying to fuck that nickname from her head. Maybe if I pounded hard enough she'd forget the name all together. Bella moaned and wrapped her arms around my neck, pulling me into her. She kissed my lips lightly then kissed again, her sweet breath washed over me and I suddenly slowed down my thrusts, making it more sweet and loving and less about trying to get her to forget that ridiculous nickname.
"I love you Bella. I love you so fucking much." My breathing was so labored I wasn't sure she heard me. My lips caressed hers sweet and slow, just like our lovemaking. I wanted to show her how much she meant to me even if she did hear me.
"Ungh…Edward…I love…you….toooooo. Oh fuck, right there baby. Please don't stop." Her fingers dug into my back trying to pull me closer to her. I could feel her body quivering all around me so I knew she was close. I wrapped my arms around her and got up on my knees bringing her with me and never losing contact. This position hit her deeper and I could feel my orgasm building within me. My lips found her collarbone and I couldn't help but suck on the sweet skin there. Deciding her breasts needed some attention I licked my way down to her nipple, swirling my tongue around her hardened bud before putting it entirely in my mouth. "Oh shit. Edward." Bella screamed. I guess this was working for her so I brought my teeth into the mix as she bounced on my dick; my hands grabbed her ass then ran up her back to her shoulders then back again. God she felt amazing. I can't imagine ever having enough of her. "mmmmm…oooohhhh….FUCK! So good baby. You're so fucking deep." Her hands went to my face and brought me back up to meet her eyes. I could see all the love I felt for her reflected back at me in her eyes. I was swimming in her, ready to drown in those chocolate pools of hers. She closed her eyes and kissed me fiercely and that my friends, was all it took to bring us both over the edge. We swallowed each other's moans as we kissed and came together. It was strange, every time we made love I didn't think it could get any better, but we seemed to outdo ourselves and it was always, always better than the last time. We held onto one another and kissed as we both came down. Neither of us seemed to want to disconnect from the other. I inhaled and just enjoyed the scent of both of us that surrounded me. "You are so amazing." Bella whispered against my lips. I couldn't contain my smile if I even wanted to, which I didn't.
"You are the one that's amazing Bella. I never knew it could feel like that." I told her quietly.
"Me either." She groaned then tried to free herself from me.
"Where do you think you're going?"
"The video camera is still on." In all the orgasmic bliss I had completely forgotten about it, but then I wondered how we looked. I could wait to watch it until later, hopefully with Bella, in bed.
"Oh shit. I ordered Chinese…" I took a peek at the clock on the bedside table. We've been in here for 45 minutes. We might be alright; it's possible the delivery guy hasn't shown up yet. "an hour ago." Bella just giggled as we separated. "This is your fault you know."
"WHAT? How is it my fault?"
I got off the bed to go to her, she was turning off the video camera, stark naked. Even though I just had a very intense orgasm only moments ago I could feel myself getting hard again. This is what she did to me and all she had to do was stand there, clothes or no clothes, preferably no clothes. I pressed myself up behind her, wrapping my arms around her tiny waist and kissing her neck, she shivered as my breath hit her sweaty skin. "Well if you hadn't set up that video camera and insisted on having your wicked way with me then we wouldn't have missed the delivery guy." I kissed her neck once more which made her shiver again. I thought she might be cold so I took a step back from her to grab a blanket. As soon as our bodies were no longer in contact she gave me the most adorable pout. "You seemed cold baby. I can't have you getting sick." I grabbed the blanket off the bed then wrapped it around her and kissed her temple before trying to find my boxers. I searched all around the bed, but couldn't find them. I was just about to go grab a new pair from the dresser when Bella cleared her throat. When I looked up, there hooked on one finger were my boxers. "How long have you had those?"
"A while." She responded.
"And why didn't you tell me you had them instead of letting me look all around for them?"
"Because I was enjoying watching you bend over looking everywhere for them. You have a spectacular ass cupcake." I guess this means that I didn't fuck her hard enough to make her forget that nickname. I growled at her, yeah you heard me, I fucking growled at my girlfriend. Slowly, I walked over to her looking at her like I was about to pounce at any moment. She didn't look worried though.
"Bella."
"Hmmm?" Her eyes were roaming over my chest, then her gaze shifted lower.
"Are you ogling me?"
"Oh hell yeah! You are one fine piece of…" I didn't let her finish her thought as I lunged at her throwing her over my shoulder and smacking her ass, oh and I got my boxers back since she was busy staring, she didn't even notice. "PUT ME DOWN!" She screamed, her hands lightly slapping my bare ass.
"NO WAY! Not until you give up on calling my cupcake." I told her.
"Not gonna happen. I like that name. Now put me down, or else."
"Or else what? Hmmm?" She continued to smack me, but instead of making me want to put her down it just made me laugh.
"Or else, no more sex for you for a month." She threatened.
"Oh please, you couldn't go a month without having me inside you even if you wanted to."
"I have a vibrator. EDWARD! Put me down." I pinched her left butt cheek and started spinning her around the room. "EDWARD!"
"Stop calling me cupcake."
"NO!"
"Yes" I kept on spinning. I was going to have to stop soon because I was getting dizzy from all the spinning, but I know how much she hates it so I just needed to ride it out. I was a man on a mission and that mission was to get her to stop calling me cupcake for good.
"NO!" she screeched. "Oh God. Edward. Please."
"Are you going to stop calling me cupcake?"
"No, but I am going to puke on you if you don't put me down." That made me stop spinning, then I threw her onto the bed. "Ahhh." She screamed as she descended onto the mattress. "HAHAHAHA. I win!"
"Oh you little…" With that I jumped on top of her and started tickling. The little con artist pretended to be sick just so I'd let her down. "You are so paying for that." Her laughter filled the entire room and she writhed beneath me trying to break free from the torture I was inflicting upon her.
"Ed….ward….hahaha…..stop…..shit….I'm….gonna..hahahaha….peeeeee….oh…hahahaha…please…..STOOOOOPPPPP! Okay….okay….I give up." I stopped tickling her for a moment waiting patiently while she caught her breath. "Ok Edward. No more cupcake."
I kissed her cheek and smiled. "Promise?"
"Yeah, I promise. Now get off me and go check on dinner, I'm starving." I chuckled at her and hopped up, putting on my boxers before leaving the room to check on the delivery. I didn't see anything at the front door so I decided to call the front desk to see if there was anything down there.
"Water Towers, this is Evan, how can I help you?"
"This is Edward Cullen in 42D. I was wondering if there was a delivery for us."
"Yes Mr. Cullen. I sent the delivery guy up there but he said there was no answer so I went ahead and took the liberty of accepting your order for you. It's only been here for a couple of minutes. Would you like me to send it up?"
"Yes please. Thank you Evan."
"No problem sir. It'll be right up." This is one of the perks of living in an apartment building that I was going to miss. Once we were in the house there would be no doorman to accept deliveries if Bella and I were otherwise occupied. Bella came out of the bedroom, fully clothed in a tank top and some really short fucking shorts. Now way she was opening the door when Evan came up with our food.
"Where's my dinner sweet cheeks?" She asked me playfully. My raised eyebrow at the new nickname, it didn't go unnoticed since she gave me a cute little wink right before she smacked my ass and ran from me before I could grab her.
"On its way up." She clapped her hands and jumped up and down, again it reminded me of Alice, except her boobs bounced with the movement and I couldn't tear my eyes away from it and I sure as hell wasn't going to be looking at Alice like that. "I'm going to put on some other clothes. Don't answer the door."
"And why shouldn't I open the door sweet cheeks?"
"Because I don't want the doorman ogling my girl, that's why."
"Why would he do that?" Did she not realize what she was or wasn't wearing?
"Seriously?" I asked her looking her up and down.
"What's wrong with what I'm wearing?"
"You're kidding right? You're practically naked Bella."
"I have clothes on!" I ignored her and stormed into the room to get dressed. I was wasting time sitting here arguing with her over what she was wearing and Evan was going to be knocking on that damn door any minute now. "What the hell Edward?" She followed me into the room, hand on her hip and she looked pissed.
"I had to get dressed before the doorman got here. What?" I didn't want to fight with her.
"We were talking and you just walked away. Now tell me what's wrong with what I'm wearing?" The doorbell rang at that moment, so I moved to get the door; she blocked me from passing though.
"Bella, please. I have to get the door."
"Tell me first then get the door."
"Fine. You look fucking hot and in that tight tank top I can see your hardened nipples and those shorts leave nothing to the imagination and I just don't want any other man to see you like that. This…" I motioned up and down her body. "..is for me. No one else gets to see this but me. I love you Bella. I don't want to share you, ever." Her eyes softened which actually surprised me because my little confession was a little cavemanish if I'm being honest.
"I think your new nickname is going to be Caveward because what you just said had caveman written all over it." I hung my head down feeling like I inserted my foot into my mouth once again. Her hand went under my chin to lift my head up so we were once again looking in each other's eyes. "But, it was sweet and makes me love you more, if that's even possible because I don't want to share you either and I feel like gauging the eyes out of every woman that even looks your way so I guess what I am trying to say is, I understand." She gave me a sweet smile followed by a peck on the cheek. "Now, go get my damn dinner from the doorman before my stomach starts digesting itself."
I laughed, out loud at that; she was too damn funny sometimes. I was allowed to pass now that the air was cleared, so I went and grabbed dinner and took it into the kitchen. She was already in there getting plates. We dug into the food while we watched some mindless TV. Bella cuddled into me on the couch once we were done eating. It was nice, being here with her like this.
"I need to go back to my apartment and pack tomorrow." Bella said, still on my chest.
"Okay, I'll go with you."
"Don't you need to pack at your place? We move in a week."
"I'm actually already done."
Bella sat up quickly and looked at me in shock.
"What?"
"You're already packed? When did you find time to do that?" The frown on her face and crease in between her eyebrows actually made me feel bad. Whenever she was with Alice and Rose I was at my condo packing up all my belongings, it was no big deal, I just hated putting things off to the very last minute.
"Uh, yeah. I went by my place any time you went out with Alice and Rose. I didn't feel like sitting around here while you were gone so I went to pack."
"You…wow. Okay. I'm impressed; I can't believe you're already done; now I feel like a slacker." Her bottom lip went out in a pout so I leaned forward and sucked it into my mouth. I released her lip, backing up a bit to look at her.
"I'll help you, don't worry baby."
"I have so much to do." Her hands rubbed her face in aggravation and she groaned. I could tell she was stressing out so I rubbed her back promising everything was going to be fine but it didn't seem to help much. I needed to come up with an idea. We needed help, and then it hit me.
"Why don't we have a packing party?" I suggested.
"A what?"
"A packing party. We'll invite Alice, Rose, Jazz and Em, get some pizzas and beer and just pack up everything. With six of us we can get all your stuff packed in no time."
"You think they'd do that?"
"Well Em and Jazz will definitely be there especially if there's food and beer, as far as Rose and Alice are concerned I couldn't even begin to guess."
"They'll be there, no questions asked. They're my girls, plus it's sort of their fault that you're done and I'm not." I chuckled a little at her, moving a strand of hair behind her ear, kissing her cute little nose. "I love you, you know that?"
"No, I wasn't aware. I don't think you tell me enough or show me enough." I gave her the smirk that I know she loves; she shook her head, but was smiling all the same. I was happy that I could put a smile back on her face; I don't like it when she is anything but happy. Just as I was thinking about the details of the packing party she climbed up onto my lap, straddling me. "Well hello there."
"Hey yourself sexy." Her head swooped down and captured my lips. There was no urgency in it, just pure love. "I really do love you Edward and I don't know what I'd do without you." With one last kiss she got off my lap then off the couch.
"Hey, where are you going?" I asked, somewhat sad that she wasn't still on my lap kissing me.
"I'm grabbing my phone so I can call the girls." Grabbing her purse and digging through it she had her tongue sticking out like she usually does when she's concentrating and looking adorable as usual. She lifted her head when she found the phone and saw me staring at her with I have no doubt the goofiest grin on my face ever. "What?"
"Come here." She did as I asked; when she was standing in front of me I pulled her back onto my lap, dipped her and gave her a searing kiss. After a couple of minutes I pulled away, but didn't let her go, I didn't ever want to let her go, so I just stared into her beautiful eyes. "I love you so much Bella. I don't ever want my life to be without you." I wanted to ask her to marry me right then, but thought better of it. We were moving in together in a week that would have to be enough for now. The last thing I want to do is scare her by proposing marriage so soon.
"I feel the same way Edward." She leaned up and kissed me again but pulled back almost as quickly as it happened. "As much as I would love to just sit here with you I need to call the girls. The sooner I'm packed up the better." My arms loosened around her as we brought ourselves back into a sitting position.
"Okay. I'll call Emmett and Jazz too. Can you hand me my phone baby? It's on the bar."
"Sure." Bella went to the bar, retrieved my phone and brought it to me. She kissed my cheek before dialing on her own phone. "Hey Rose…Oh sorry…Um, yeah, I'll make this quick. So Edward and I were talking and it turns out he's got his place all packed…" She laughed at something. "I know…anyway, you know how I am, I haven't packed a single fucking thing so Edward came up with this idea of having a packing party." I tuned Bella out and went into the bedroom to call Jazz. He picked up on the 3rd ring.
"Edward, what's going on? Is everything okay?" My brother, always worrying about something.
"Everything is fine. I just wanted to talk to you about something." I told him.
"Oh, okay. So what's going on?"
"Well it seems Bella hasn't packed anything at her place yet and we were thinking about having a packing party. You know the drill, pizza, beer and a shit load of boxes to pack. Whaddya say?"
"Sounds good man. What day were you thinking?"
"Tomorrow, if that's alright? I know its short notice, but…" Jasper cut me off telling me that it was fine and that he'd be there. I guess Alice was there and I could hear her giggling and squealing in the background as he told her the plan. Leave it to Alice to get excited over a packing party. "Thanks Jazz. So I guess we'll see you tomorrow at Bella's place."
"Yeah no problem little brother. You know Em and I love Bella like a sister already." His words warmed my heart, my brothers were usually not easy to warm up to someone new, but they both just seemed to take to Bella. That could be because she's worked for our dad for so long, but I like to think that it was because they saw how much I love her.
"Thanks again Jazz. I know Bella feels the same way about you guys."
"Okay, I'm going to hang up before both our dicks shrivel up and turn into vaginas. I don't think Alice would like that too much." I laughed, out loud, said goodbye and hung up the phone. When I walked back into the living room Bella was still on the phone laughing. Deciding not to disturb her conversation I went into the kitchen to grab myself some water. Warm hands wrapped around me from behind as I finished up my water and I leaned back into her.
"Apparently Alice was with Jazz when I called so he told her about the party. They're both in and will be by your place tomorrow afternoon."
"Thanks sweet cheeks. Rose has agreed to come too and she said Emmett would be there to quote 'Move all the heavy shit'." She snickered as she said it, but Emmett was a bear and if anyone could lift the heavy shit without any problems it was him.
"Well good, now that that's all settled I think…" I kissed her temple, holding on to her tight. "..It's time for us to go to bed."
"Hmmm. Sounds good sweet cheeks. Let's go. I'm really soooo.." Her arms raised all the way up exposing her taut stomach as her shirt lifted. She added a little yawn to complete the effect. "…very, very tired. You wore my happy ass out."
As we made our way into the bedroom I couldn't help but think about how happy I was. Everything was going great with us, really great. Even my brothers were happy. My father was healing from what that bitch Tanya did and my mother's anxiety attacks were lessening every day. Things were finally getting back to normal.
A/N: Up next is the packing party. Everything is going well now, but not everything is going to be smooth sailing. That's all I'm saying. I hope you enjoyed this chapter. Sorry for the long wait on it. This weekend is my 5th wedding anniversary and next weekend we are going to be out of town. I really would like to update more regularly, so hopefully that will happen since things are settling down around here.
Review please. You know I love to hear what you think.
