Bella:
After hours of travelling, Edward and I have finally arrived outside the apartment we're renting. We've had to travel to Seattle, fly down to Oakland International Airport, and then get a taxi up to Berkeley.
We lug our large suitcases up the stairs, to the third floor, as the lift is broken. Once inside the apartment, we both dump our stuff and take a look around the small space. To the right of the door there's a small kitchen with a breakfast bar and opposite that there is a small sofa facing a TV cabinet, complete with a little TV. There are then two doors in front, so I walk forward and open the door to assess the bedroom.
There's a large double bed in the middle of the room, with two bedside tables and a wardrobe. Overall, the area looks quite nice. It may not be that large, but it's big enough for Edward and I.
"It's nice, isn't it?" Edward says, walking into the bedroom.
"Yeah, it's got great views," I say, turning to face him. "It's weird that we're living together now," I muse, wondering over to my suitcase. We're definitely going to need to buy some other necessities.
"How so?" Edward asks, getting his own suitcase and unzipping it.
"Well, firstly, there won't be my father interrupting us all the time," I point out, grinning slyly over at Edward. His cheeks tint slight pink. "Secondly, we'll be sleeping in the same bed…" I trail off, realising that we've never actually slept in the same bed before.
"Are all your points sexual orientated?" Edward asks, raising an eyebrow at me.
"The second one wasn't necessarily. I just wanted to be close to you," I tell him, trying to keep a straight face.
I take my suitcase into the bedroom and begin putting my clothes in the wardrobe. I leave some room for Edward's clothes, and once that's done, I put some of my toiletries into the bathroom.
Hey! How's California? I miss you already, as does Lily! Seriously, she's non-stop crying, please come home! :D ~Alice xxx
I smile as I read the text, missing everyone too.
California is amazing! So warm and sunny, it's weird! ;D Awww, I'll call you tomorrow and speak to Lily :) ~Bella xxx
I reply to her text and then join Edward, who's sat on the sofa in the living room area. I sit next to him and kiss his cheek, snuggling up to him.
"Travelling makes me tired," I inform Edward, yawning widely.
I look out of the window and see the sun beginning to set, and consider going to bed now. Would that be sad? It is still quite early…
"You wanna go to bed?" Edward suggests, putting his arm around me.
"Eager to get me to bed?" I smirk, getting up and heading towards the bedroom.
"Is that such a crime?" Edward asks, pretending to sound innocent.
I shake my head and grab my pyjamas, going to get changed in the bathroom and get ready for bed. After brushing my teeth and removing my make-up, I walk back into the bedroom, where Edward is already lying in bed. I smile and crawl into bed next to him, kissing his cheek when I do.
"What was that for?" Edward grins, turning his body to face me.
"For being so amazing," I tell him, kissing him again. He kisses me back and I deepen the kiss, moving closer to him. His arms wrap around my body and pull me ever close, my body flush against his.
He hitches my leg over his, his lips trailing down and kissing my neck. My fingers latch onto his hair, holding him to me while my hips buck against him. Edward pulls me on top of him, his mouth reattaching to mine, both of our hips grinding against each other. Our tongues stroke each other, not as hastily as our hips are moving. I can feel Edward hard against me, the feeling pulsing through me.
"Edward…" I breathe out, slightly slowing the rocking of my hip. "Can we…um, try tonight?" I ask, stilling my hips to look at his face.
His expression looks torn, his hands moving down to rest on my ass.
"We can't," he sighs unhappily. I frown at him, wondering why. He sure seemed to be enjoying himself before. "Unless you have any c-condoms, we can't," Edward explains.
I sigh loudly and slump down on him, though he doesn't seem bothered by the added weight.
"Why didn't you say something before I got all worked up?" I pout, kissing him lightly.
"You didn't really give me much chance!" Edward protests, hugging me. "I could help with that problem, however," Edward adds, grinning.
He flips us over and hovers above me, kissing the tip of my nose before pulling up my top and taking it off. His eyes gleam as he lowers his mouth to my breasts, kissing and licking at them. I moan and arch myself into him, squirming for hopes of added friction.
While his mouth works my breasts his hands slide down my body, pulling down both my shorts and my panties. I moan again and help him kick off my clothes, watching him with hooded eyes.
"Is this ok?" Edward breathes out quietly.
"It's perfect," I assure him, fisting at his top. "It'd be better if you took this off, though," I smirk, pulling it up to reveal his chest.
Ever since Emmett and Edward met, Emmett has taken Edward to the gym several times to try and tone him up. Personally, I prefer him not as muscular, only slightly defined. I wouldn't want him to be as muscular as Emmett.
I make a move to take off his trousers, but Edward stops me. "I don't have enough restraint to be completely naked," Edward warns, kissing me sweetly.
I don't complain since I'm pretty sure I don't have the restraint, either, but I am already planning on going out and buying condoms tomorrow.
All thoughts of tomorrow fly out of my head when Edward's fingers finally touch me where I'm so wet and ready for him. Edward moans as he covers his finger with my arousal, tracing slow circles over my sensitive clit.
"You're so wet for me," Edward groans, his hips bucking against the covers.
I mumble out an incoherent chain of words, moving my hips with Edward's fingers. He slowly pushes two fingers inside me, his thumb remaining on my clit. My hands grip at Edward's shoulders as he speeds up, ever so often looking to me for reassurance. I love that he does that, that he's so focussed on my pleasure and enjoyment. I certainly plan on repaying him soon.
"Oh, god, Edward!" I shout, clenching around him. I'm close, oh so close.
"Are you close?" he whispers in my ear before his lips find my nipple, tugging gently and sending me over the edge. I tighten around his fingers and chant his name as I come, his fingers slowly bringing me down from my high.
I collapse on the bed, as does Edward, and lie contentedly in his arms for a while. His fingers stroke my hair slowly, lulling me into a sleep. I relax into him and close my eyes, falling asleep as Edward's hands keep stroking my hair.
*******LLB*******
When I wake up the next morning I roll over in bed, initially confused as to where I am. Usually when I roll over in the morning I fall out of bed…
As I slowly open my eyes I remember I'm in mine and Edward's new apartment, and still very much naked from last night. I make sure the sheet, which was tangled around my limbs, covers me up and sit up in bed, faintly hearing the shower running.
I stay in bed and wait for Edward to come back so we can plan what to do today. I noticed last night that there was no toaster for the kitchen, so we need to buy that and other necessities, such as food.
"Oh, sorry, did I wake you?" Edward says as he walks back into the bedroom, only a towel hanging loosely around his hips. My eyes drink him in, roaming over his body.
"Last night!" I suddenly exclaim, remembering how turned on we both were, but I fell asleep before I could return the favour.
Edward's cheeks turn slightly pink as he remembers what we did last night, and he quickly readjusts his towel. I smirk inadvertently, sitting up a little more in bed.
"What I meant was that I never returned the favour…" I trail off, thinking about dropping the sheet to get Edward to come back to bed.
"Oh," Edward's already pink cheeks turn a deeper shade. "I, um, I'm good…" he mumbles, turning around and opening the wardrobe.
I raise an eyebrow, even though he can't see it, and remember that Edward showered last night.
"You're good, huh?" I say, almost giddy from this revelation.
Edward doesn't reply as he bends down and puts on some boxers, and then drops the towel. My mouth hangs open, and I'm once again kicking myself for not remembering condoms.
"What did you think about?" I ask, hoping for a reply.
He pauses for a moment, before turning around and raising an eyebrow at me. "You're not going to drop this, are you?" he asks. I shake my head. "Seriously, what do you think?" he adds, grabbing some jeans.
Can't he stay in only boxers all day?
"I'd hope for me, but…" I answer as he pulls up his jeans.
What a shame…
"Of course you," Edward emphasizes, walking over to the bed and kissing me. I smile as he kisses me, and wrap my hands around his chest to pull him closer.
He pulls back after a while, much to my distain.
"Um, you, uh, you should get dressed," Edward stutters. I frown, wondering what's up, and then I remember I was holding up the cover to cover myself up.
I look down and see my chest is now on show, my arousal for Edward evident.
"Oops," I chuckle, wrapping the sheet around me again.
I see Edward roll his eyes before he covers up his chest, and reminds me to get dressed as he leaves the room. I sigh and get out of bed, thinking about what I should wear today. I can see sun shining through the curtains, so I think a dress would be appropriate.
"Jesus, Bella, I thought you were getting dressed!" Edward says as he walks back into the room.
"I am getting dressed. I'm just deciding what to wear," I answer, almost laughing at the conflicting emotions on Edward's face.
"Do you have to be naked?" Edward finally says, though his eyes seem to be against this. His eyes slowly trail over my body, as if they're making a mental note of every one of my features. "How did you get that scar? And why have a never noticed it before?" Edward muses, peering in closer before he realises what he's doing.
I look down and see the scar he's referring to is the one on my hip. It's only a small line, not too noticeable.
"Oh, that one. Yeah, Alice and I were climbing this tree, and I fell awkwardly," I explain to Edward. "And I'm guessing you never noticed it as you were a little preoccupied when I was naked before," I add, laughing.
Edward moves closer to me and lightly traces the scar on my hip. "Bella Swan, you are officially the clumsiest person ever. Now, I'd appreciate it if you got dressed, so that we could go out and not end up staying in bed all day," Edward tells me, kissing my forehead and leaving the room again.
I get dressed in underwear first, and then find a suitable dress to wear. It's got a floral print on it, perfect for the end of summer. When I walk out into the living area, I see Edward writing out a list of the things we need.
Just before we got out I quickly go to the toilet, groaning in frustration when I do. I stomp out of the bathroom and over to Edward, thoroughly annoyed.
"Hey, what's the matter?" Edward asks, looking concerned for me.
"Add paracetamol to that list. I just got my period!" I complain, crossing my arms.
"Are you ok?" Edward asks, placing his hands on my stomach.
"Yeah, it doesn't hurt yet. It's usually day two the cramps hit. What's pissing me off is the fact now we're going to have to wait a week." I'm not certain, but I swear I see amusement flash over Edward's face. "Something funny?" I question, placing my hands on my hips as we leave the apartment.
"Usually people say men are sex crazed. Well, I beg to differ," Edward chuckles, glancing over and noticing my sullen expression. "Come on, it's not the end of the world," Edward says, wrapping his arm around my shoulders and kissing my cheek.
"I guess not," I eventually say as we walk down the street. "Edward, do you know where the supermarket is?" I ask, since we seem to be heading aimlessly.
Edward shrugs, "I figure if we keep walking we'll find somewhere eventually. Anyway, I could have sworn we passed a supermarket in the taxi here."
We continue walking for another ten minutes until we reach an area with a supermarket and a shopping centre, Edward's plan having worked. We decide to focus today on just buying food, and then tomorrow we'll investigate the shopping centre.
When we get home we put away everything we'd bought – though we didn't buy too much, since we had to carry it home.
The rest of the day we lounge around, as we don't start at Berkeley for another week.
"Edward," I begin to get his attention.
"Yeah?" he replies, kissing my forehead.
"Do you remember when we first got together? I mean, when we official became a couple," I ask. I, of course, remember, I'm just curious to see if Edward remembers.
"We first became a couple on 7th December, when you were in hospital, but we first kissed on the 15th of September," Edward answers without hesitation.
I grin widely and lean over to kiss him deeply.
"Bella…what is this for?" Edward asks, kissing me back.
"You remembered!" I simply tell him, my hands trailing down his body. I reach his jeans and beginning undoing them, but Edward's hands reach out and stop me.
"You don't have to," Edward says, looking down at me.
"I want to," I tell him, batting away his hands and unzipping his jeans before he can stop me. I get him to lift up his hips as I pull down his trousers, and then take off his top. I run my hands lightly over the bulge in his boxers, causing him to buck against me. I smirk at him, continuing to tease him and make him harder.
He groans out my name and I finally tug on the top of his boxers, slowly pulling them down. I wrap my hand around his long length, further teasing him by moving my hand gently up and down, working him up further.
Locking eyes with Edward, I lean forward and place a kiss to the tip before taking him in my mouth. I move up and down, my hand wrapped around the part I can't fit in my mouth. I hum around him, looking up to meet his eyes again. He'll never admit it, but he loves it when I look at him whilst giving him a blowjob.
I feel his hand on the back of my head to urge me to keep moving, taking him in deeper. I keep going until I feel his hand tightening in my hair, not knowing whether to pull me off or push me on harder.
"Oh, Bella, I'm going to…" Edward grits out, pulsing in my mouth before coming in several long streams.
I swallow it all, licking him clean and releasing him from my mouth.
I smile up at him and snuggle into his embrace, resting my head on his chest and hearing his fast beating heart. His arms hold me close to him, his need to be close after his orgasm warming me.
"You're amazing, you know that?" Edward says, a little breathlessly. "I love you so much," he adds, kissing the top of my head.
I turn my head to look up at him, Edward leaning down to nudge my nose with his.
"I love you, too," I reply, resting my head back against his chest.
