"Agh…" I groaned as I attempted to focus on the highway in front of me while simultaneously rubbing sleep out of my eyes. Once I was crust free, I placed my hand on the steering wheel and used my right hand to lay on Edwards thigh, he intertwined his fingers with mine quietly.
"Baby are you sure you're okay to drive? You look a little…" I sent him a sharp look.
"I'm fine."
"Seriously, you didn't need to get up at four for this." He ran his thumb over the back of my hand before pulling it up to his lips for a kiss.
"What? You think I'd let you go cross country with at least sending you off with a proper goodbye?" He smiled softly and kissed my hand again.
"I love you." He said softly.
"Love you too." I smiled and tightened my hand around his. I honest to goodness had no idea what the hell I would do while he's gone. After not being with him for no longer than a few hours for years straight it was harder than I thought to let him go for weeks.
"Alright a few rules while I'm gone." He said before letting a deep breath out through his nose.
Then he said shit like that.
Ruined it.
"Rules?" I scoffed and he nodded vigorously.
"I don't want you by yourself. At all. I don't want you alone with Riley or Mike either." I rolled my eyes and took the exit that lead towards the airport. "Don't roll your eyes at me, I'm serious. I don't want anything happening to you when I'm away." I sighed. "Don't kill anyone."
"Now that's not fair." He smirked.
"Who do you know that will clean up after you while I'm in Chicago?"
"Alice."
Easy answer.
"Maybe if you killed a midget that weighed less than eighteen pounds…" I chuckled and pulled into temporary parking. "Be careful, Baby, seriously. If something happened while I was gone I wouldn't know what to do…" He pulled my hand up so that it was cradled in his neck and his eyes bore into mine.
"Nothing's going to happen." I assured him before pulling him into a chaste kiss. He straightened in his seat so that he could deepen the kiss and I let him. I dug my hands into his hair, pulling him closer as he slipped his tongue over my bottom lip. I swiftly opened my mouth for him and let our tongues caress each other.
He pulled away regretfully, leaving multiple pecks on my moistened lips. "I'm going to miss you, beautiful." I smiled because I would miss him too. And he called me beautiful even though I looked like shit. The girly side of me liked that.
"Yeah you can't Skype kisses like that…" I said wistfully. He smiled before opening his door and stepping out and I followed his lead. We met at the trunk of the car and pulled out his luggage. Once he shut the car door I was promptly shoved up against the trunk door his lips fused to mine again as he hitched my leg over his hip, pressing against me tightly.
"Holy… Fuck." I whispered as he kissed down my neck.
"I'm really going to miss this," he grabbed my ass and ground into me. "And this." His ands snaked up my torso until he had a firm grip on my breasts. There was a gasp behind him and technically in front of me. An older couple shuffled by looking horrified at our display.
"Sorry…" I panted heavily at them before pointing at Edward who ignored them. "He's going away for a while…" I caught a glimpse of Edwards smile before he kissed me again.
"Hot damn!" Crowley's voice called before he whistled at us.
"Fucking hell… Not again. You two honestly should see a sex specialist about this issue you're having." Charlie sighed, I think Renee told everyone on Christmas that we actually were having sex in the basement, as a punishment for not finishing out cleaning. Therefore Charlie most likely thought he had a part in bringing another sex addict into the world.
Edward huffed and set my leg on the ground to turn and greet his boss and co-worker. Actually it wasn't really a greeting more of a head jerk in their direction. I, having good manners-
Haha
-acknowledged them politely.
"Hi Dad. Hey Crowley." I smiled and waved only earning head jerks, similar to the one Edward gave them, in return.
"Come on, your flight leaves soon." I pulled on Edwards hand as we joined Crowley and my father.
I cast a glance at Edwards luggage and grimaced, "Are you sure you'll be okay? That doesn't seem like enough…" He smiled easily and wrapped an arm around my waist, pulling me to his side with his only suitcase rolling behind him.
"I'll be fine." He chuckled softly before kissing the top of my head. "I have enough. You helped me pack."
"We have access to washers and dryers in Chicago anyway, Bells." Charlie said over his shoulder. The more they mentioned Chicago the stronger the stirring in my stomach got. I held on to Edward tighter when I started to feel woozy, leaning on him more than before. He cast a concerned glance at me, receiving a bright albeit fake smile. We strode quickly into the airport. Once we were in the boarding area I collapsed heavily in my seat, dreading Edward's absence.
"Are you sure you'll be okay?" He asked in an accusatory tone. I nodded and rested my head on his shoulder so that he wouldn't be able to see the harsh gulp that I took. Tanya came over shortly after and plopped into the chair next to mine, dropping her large pink suitcase at our feet followed by the two other suitcases that Mike and Tyler assisted with. I tilted my head up at Edward to see his eyes focused on me.
"You're bags should look like that." I mumble softly. He smirked and twirled a finger in my hair. Tanya tapped my knee and I swiveled my head towards her curiously.
"What's wrong with you?" She asked loudly.
"Shut up, Tanya." I muttered petulantly. Yeah it was weak but whatever.
"The one way to Chicago boards in fifty minutes." A woman's voice filtered through overhead. A large man holding a stinky ass burrito passed me and the contents of my stomach lurched into my throat. I winced before attempting to push the bile back down.
"I'm going to the bathroom." I slapped Edwards arm to get his attention before darting into the bathroom. I slammed my way into a stall once in the restroom and retched into the bowl.
"Oh fucking hell…" I groaned before throwing up into the bowl again.
There was a commotion right outside of the bathroom, "You can't go in there!" Tanya huffed.
"The hell I can't. She's obviously sick." The door opened but I didn't here anymore footsteps as it closed quickly.
"I'll go in. Just… wait." I could hear by her tone that she was grimacing at my frantic husband. The door opened again and the distinct sounds of heels hitting the tiles rang out. I leaned over the toilet again and emptied my stomach.
"Ugh…" Tanya groaned as she nudged the unlocked stall door open. "Are you okay?"
I wiped my mouth sloppily before using my other hand to wipe my eyes, I cry when I puke.
Sue me.
"Peachy." I gasped before letting loose another pile. She swept some of the loose strands of my hair away from my face and rubbed my back awkwardly. When I stopped barfing she handed me a wad of tissues and patted my forehead with the extras that weren't used for my tears and the barf around my mouth. The bathroom door opened and Edwards soothing voice called out to us.
"Edward. What'd I tell you about the bathroom?" Tanya growled and he snorted at her.
There was a disgruntled huff, "Sorry, Ma'am." Edward sounded bashful and the tell-tale sound of the door opening wider sounded before there were soft slow taps moving around the public bathroom. I leaned over the toilet again expecting to wretch again and when I didn't I leaned against the stall wall with a heavy sigh.
"What happened, Bella?" Edward asked from the doorway, the woman in the stall next to mine gasped and we all ignored. I wasn't sure, It could have been Edwards leaving or the fat man's burrito. Hell it could have been a mixture of both. I wasn't going to admit the prior to Tanya though.
"This guy passed me a while ago and he was holding this disgusting smelling burrito." I frowned, thinking about the smell and stood to my feet shakily.
"You had to do all of that because of a burrito?" Tanya said with a sneer, I held myself back from smacking her. Practice for when Edward left.
"Tanya shut the fuck up." There was a disapproving huff next door and I rolled my eyes. "Are you okay, Baby?"
"Yeah… I'll be out in a second." I said before leaving the stall and immediately heading to the sink, washing my hands and face and rinsing out my mouth. An elderly woman exited the stalls and her eyes met mine in the mirror.
"Public bathrooms are not homeless bathing facilities." Tanya handed me a towel and smirked.
I straightened up over the sink. "Do I look like I'm fucking taking a bath, old bat?" She glared at me and I glared back. "Who the hell do you think you are? You don't even know me!" My voice raised and Tanya laid a hand on my shoulder which I shrugged off. I caught a glimpse of Edward in the doorway pinching the bridge of his nose, before he stepped into the bathroom and took my hand before I hurt the old bitch's feelings.
"Excuse us." He said softly before tugging me out, she looked like she had seen a ghost and hadn't moved an inch since I yelled at her. Once we were out of the bathroom Edward cupped my face in his hands. "Bella. What's going on? There is no way the smell of a burrito set you off. I've seen you eat burrito's more disgusting than that."
"I don't know." I admitted honestly, he pulled me into a hug and rested his cheek on the top of my head.
"I'm staying with you." He said hugging me tighter. As much as I fucking wanted him to stay I couldn't let him do that.
"No. This is most likely nothing more than a bug, Honey. Go to Chicago." I patted his chest and pulled away from him. He cupped my jaw and searched my eyes. "I'll be okay. If I need help I still have Alice, and Riley and… Mike?" He grimaced at the mention of Mike and Riley being at my assistance when he couldn't be.
"Bella…" He whined I put a finger to his lips.
"I'll be fine." He sighed and glanced over to where the team sat wives included. He pointed and the gestured for someone to come over and less than a few seconds later Alice skipped up toting Jasper.
"What's up?" She beamed.
"I need you to drive Bella home," Edward said.
"Why?"
"She isn't feeling well. Just leave my car in long term or something, okay?" I huffed before nodding reluctantly. Alice gave me an appraising look.
"You look like shit." Edward wrapped an arm around my waist holding me to him tightly.
"You don't want to piss off the person giving you a ride home, Baby." I sighed and Tanya exited the bathroom followed shortly by the old lady. Tanya put a hand on Edward's arm and leaned up before whispering in his ear. And when I say leaned up, I mean fucking against him. I frowned when I peeked around at her, she smirked and patted his chest before joining the rest of the team.
"What was that?" I said with a pointed glance to Tanya's retreating form.
"Nothing, I have to go soon." He kissed my temple and I clutched onto him for a while longer.
"The flight to Chicago boards in ten minutes." A monotone voice boomed from overhead. The three of us eventually rejoined the group to see the team off. Once we had taken our seats again Charlie sent me a concerned look.
"You alright there, Bells?" He patted my back and I nodded before leaning into Edwards embrace.
"I'm going to miss you." I whispered with my head tilted down so that he didn't get a whiff of my wretched breath. His arm tightened around me and he pressed a kiss to my hair.
"I'm going to miss you too, beautiful."
I smirked, "I've got a few rules for you too." He snorted, "Don't drink out there. I doubt any of them are going to want to have to take care of a moody drunk. Don't sleep with anyone else, because if you come home with an STD I'm going to castrate you. Then there's you know... us being married and whatnot." I felt him smile into my hair as I whispered sternly. "And call or Skype me every day."
"Yes, Bella." I nodded and smiled to myself.
"The flight to Chicago is now boarding row A." The woman said boredly.
"That's us Ladies and boys." Charlie grumbled as he grabbed his luggage. He kicked Emmett's foot making the sleeping oaf shoot up.
Edward and I stood, "Bye, Honey." I whispered sadly, before throwing my arms around his neck and pressing my body to his tightly. "I love you."
"I love you too, baby. Take care of yourself and give Ellie and Seth a hug for me. Okay?" I nodded and kissed his neck. Before watching him hands in his ticket to the flight attendant and enter the tunnel.
"See you later, Belly-pie! Kiss the kiddies!" Emmett boomed before kissing my cheek and hugging the breath out of me.
"I will, bye, Em." I moved to hug Charlie as well before heading back towards Alice and Rosalie.
"What happened to you?" Alice asked as she wrapped an arm around my waist.
"I don't know. It must be that time of the month I guess." I muttered, Rose smiled before whispering in Alice's ear. Alice's face lit up and she beamed at me.
"More like it's time for you two to slip on those ugly red sweaters, my wittle Babymaker." She pinched my cheek and I blanched.
