Chapter 16

I slept like a baby last night, it was the best night's sleep that I've had for a long time, who knew that the conversation which I was petrified of having would have gone like it did, and best of all was how I was feeling after it, serene and happy, nothing has happened really and I have no idea why I am feeling this way but I am, I don't know what was the next step for me and Edward but whatever it was I'm ready for it .

Alice has just left after spending two hours just hanging around the library with me, I've missed her since both of us have been too busy to do our normal routine, she invited all of us to her house the next day and I told her to invite Edward without thinking, so I wasn't ready for the interrogation that comment got me in, in the end I spent most of the time just explaining everything that happened with us , Alice had really weird reactions but in the end she still said that it was my decision and that she'll support me no matter what, which I loved her even more for .

I locked the library early today to take Doggy for a walk, just when we reached outside and locked the door I heard someone calling my name, I turned around and it was Edward coming towards me from across the street with a nervous smile on his angelic face.

"Hey, are you going to take Doggy for a walk?"

"Yeah, he's been going out of his mind today and its driving me crazy" I said chuckling trying to lease his nerves.

"Can I join you?" he asked looking ready for rejection but that wasn't going to happen so I just smiled big and nodded.

We walked in silence until we reached the park; Doggy ran away and left us in an awkward silence, after a couple of minutes of watching Doggy run around Edward turned his head towards me and smiled.

"Hi."

"Hi." I said smiling at his cheekiness.

"So Alice invited me to a get together at her house tomorrow, I wasn't sure I should go but then she said that you asked her to invite me, thank you and I know it's hard for you to accept me in your life and between your friends, I just wanted to tell you that you don't have to include me in anything you don't want to, I swear I won't mind, I just want to spend more time with you whenever that may be." He said while still on edge.

"I want us to be honest with each other from the start so Edward I told Alice to invite you because I thought it might be easier this way, there won't be any awkwardness and we'll definitely have fun, I was actually thinking of myself and what's easier for me so you don't have to worry about it, I want you to be there, I'm actually looking forward to it, I'm a little nervous I have to admit but I'm still feeling really happy so I hope you'll be there" I said gently looking into his eyes trying to show how honest I was.

he looked lost in thought while searching my eyes and looking deep into my soul "thank you for being honest, I'm glad you're not hiding your feelings from me, and I'll do the same, I was actually pretty nervous myself, but after what you just said I'm not nervous anymore, let's just enjoy our time and see what happens okay? " he said smiling gently.

"Yes I agree let's just have fun." I said smiling

we spent the rest of the afternoon just playing around the park with the kids, it was pretty fun, I didn't really know how to play baseball but this afternoon I was on fire after Edward explained it to me, and in the end we ended up in the same team and we won, the guys we were playing with were so happy that they invited us for drinks after we won, even the ones who lost, and we went out that night with the whole team and we had an amazing time, we laughed we joked we made fun of each other and in the end we enjoyed each other's company, and all the while Edward was sitting right next to me and each time I would look at him I would find him staring at me with adoration in his eyes and that beautiful smile gracing his lips.

The next day I was running late, I had a customer come in the library asking for a non-existent book near my closing time, and after two hours of searching depending on events in the book that he was recalling poorly which only showed he doesn't even know what he was talking about ,and him trying to touch me constantly and me trying to be civil and not introduce his face to the bottom of my foot he remembered the actual name of the book which was "The girl with the dragon tattoo", how stupid was this guy!, it was pretty obvious he was just messing around because in the end he asked for my number in case he didn't understand the book and wanted me to go out with him and explain things and " we'll see where we'll go from there" he'd said! I don't know how I kept my calm but I told him very sternly to get the hell out of my library and to never come back again to my library or I will be forced to let my very protective dog teach him a lesson, and just at that moment Doggy started barking which made the idiot flee away like a scared little boy. I arrived an hour late to Alice's and found them sitting at the table and waiting for me to get there so we can eat.

I was sitting next to Edward so when. I started explaining why I was late and giving them descriptions of how stupid that guy was and what he described as things happened in the story when he wouldn't remember the title, everyone was laughing their asses of and I sensed the shift in Edwards mood throughout the story, I didn't know what I had mentioned that made him mad, I started going over everything I said again and again but I came up empty, and I didn't know what to do so I just pretended like he wasn't there and enjoyed the rest of dinner with everyone, Angela showed us photos of baby Rick, he was truly gorgeous, a heart breaker for sure, Ben was so proud of his baby boy he even bought similar clothes to both of them, it was adorable.

A couple of hours later I was standing in the kitchen enjoying the view of the city and having a quiet moment to myself when I heard someone come in.

" come here honey " Jasper said in a soothing voice And held his hands open for me, I didn't hesitate to throw myself in that hug, I guess as always Jasper felt my need for one, I still don't understand how he does it.

" don't stress about it, he's just feeling sorry for himself, he wants to protect you, give him time to understand that you don't need any help, that you can take care of yourself, remember when we first met how Emmet and I would get?, he's still new just have patience" he said softly .

He was right, I just nodded and we exchanged a couple of more words as he held me but nothing serious, after a while Alice came in and asked if I was okay, she knew I loved jasper's hugs, she can never resist losing herself in one either so she understood, but she could see I wasn't feeling like myself tonight.

"I'm fine, I was just convincing jasper to leave you for me, so I can enjoy his amazing hugs all the time, but he won't budge! He says he loves you and all that crap! I WANT JASPER" I said trying to look mad.

"If you want me that much baby you can have me, you could share me both if you want, there's a lot of me to go around". He said cockily

Alice winked at me quickly before Jasper could notice and we were in action. Then she looked at him like he just said the most brilliant thing ever.

"Oh honey I thought you'd never agree to that, I knew I loved you for a reason, this is going to be amazing" she said and walked towards us swaying her hips until jasper was sandwiched between us, and then it was my turn.

"Hmmm, I've been dreaming about this moment for so long" I whispered seductively then smoothed my hand across his stomach and chest.

" damn I'm so horny right now, let's get everyone to leave so we can have some real fun" Alice groaned while licking jasper's neck and nibbling on his ear, my hand slipped south and I could see jasper starting to sweat, he was more than turned on, then just before my hand reached his zipper he shook us off of him and stammered out an excuse before he ran away from the kitchen, and we burst out laughing, I turned my head after drying my tears and caught Edward laughing at the far corner, I hadn't seen him come in and he must have been here for long because we were standing next to the door the whole time. I smiled faintly at him and left the kitchen to join everyone.

At last we decided to watch a movie, everyone sat paired up together and only a one-seat sofa was left for me And Edward, I tried to keep some distance between us when we sat, it was awkward and I didn't know how to act but I still pretended he wasn't sitting next to me and just watched the movie. When we were half through I had my hands around myself trying to stay warm because it was chilly, then I felt Edward's hands around me pulling back to sit against his chest with his arms around me, I didn't resist and kept quiet, then I heard him sigh and felt his head on my shoulder, it was an intimate embrace and I enjoyed him surrounding me, it made me feel safe.

"I'm sorry" he whispered after a while and I was confused as to why he was apologizing.

"It's okay" I murmured.

"No its not, I didn't mean to be an ass, I was just over thinking things and worrying about you, I know I have no right to, yet I don't care, your safety comes first to me, but I'm sorry I reacted like that, I'm working on it. " he said softly.

"next time talk to me, and you should know I can take care of myself, I don't need you to save me, just be there for me and that is more than enough." I said quietly, he hummed and nuzzled my neck, and that was how we sat for the rest of the movie, never losing touch or moving out of each other's embrace.

The next couple of days went by without an incident, Edward's presence was scarce as he was too busy in the hospital, but his texts never stopped, we weren't a couple and we weren't just friends, but the question that was still floating around was what are we? On that note I arrived at the hospital for my routine blood test, I was feeling a little faint lately and Carlisle suggested I come in for a test, when I reached to the reception desk the nurse immediately recognized me and paged .

Two hours later I was done and ready to go home after all the poking and probing I'd gone through, Esme was just arriving to see Carlisle so I stayed for a while catching up with her, I loved that woman like a mother and she always treated me like she treated Alice or even better, after we were done I said my goodbyes and was on my way out when a scene stopped me in my tracks, A girl was squeezed in a tiny space between a chair which Edward was sitting on and the desk in front of him and almost sitting in his lap while her boobs where screaming to be set free from the tight nurse outfit that she was wearing to try and get his attention while he was obviously not welcoming her advances and looking at his lap with a frown, they hadn't see me yet and at that moment my phone pinged telling me I had a text.

- Can you help me get away with murder? - EC

I laughed quietly, I guess he had his fill with that skank, that was my queue .

- I can do better than that ;), just go with it- BS

I walked in and swayed my hips, the stupid bitch's head shot up and when she saw me her eyes turned into slits, while I smirked and kept eye contact then turned my mischievous eyes to Edward.

"Hello sweetheart, did I keep you waiting for long? I ran into Esme and we got to talking. But don't worry I'll make it up to you hmm?" I purred while pushing her away and sitting in Edward's lap while Edward looked up at me in shock at first and then his eyes softened and he looked at me like he's just found a long lost treasure, then the smirk was back.

"I'll hold you to that beautiful, now start by greeting me properly" he said gently while running his finger down the opening of my shirt and brushing his nose against mine, completely ignoring the stupid seething whore who was still waiting on the floor.

And I did, I looked deep into his eyes and licked his upper lip at first, thin nibbled on his bottom lip, he couldn't wait any longer as at the next moment he captured my lips with his and our lips were battling for dominance, in the end he won, he was controlling the kiss, every fiber of my being was on fire while we made out like teenagers, my hands were deep in his bronze locks while his were holding my face, our moans where getting louder, our tongues where tasting each other, and we were lost to the world, he tasted like nothing I've ever experienced, while his sent was strong and intoxicating, his taste was pure poison, and I couldn't stop, we were grinding against each other and I couldn't get close enough, I was enjoying this too much and I didn't even want to stop and Edward's groans weren't helping , but after making out for I don't know how long, the outer world started to seep in, that bitch was trying to get our attention and she was getting on my nerves, so I broke the kiss but not before Edward pecked my lips once, twice, and a third time which made me giggle while he smirked his signature smirk. I turned my head after a couple of seconds and looked at the intruder in fake surprise.

"oh I'm sorry, I just missed my Eddie so much that I didn't see you when I came in, we'll just get out of your way so you can clean the floors, oh and be a dear and get me a cup of coffee when you're done" I said in fake cheeriness, Edward was trying to hold in his laughter but from my position in his lap I could feel his vibrations.

"Bella honey, she's a doctor here." Edward said in a loud whisper

"Oh I'm sorry she looked like the cleaning lady they were all talking about, why is she dressed like that?" I whispered back loud enough for her to hear, I could feel see her in my periphery turning red with rage.

"Why don't you have some respect and get of MY Eddie, he doesn't want you, you're no even pretty and he wants me, I'm his type not you" she whined annoyingly.

before I could jump up and smack her Edward held me to him "how about you leave before I fucking file a complaint against you for sexual harassment, You will never be my type, I don't know how many times I have to tell you to leave me the fuck alone, you fucking disgust me, go offer your cheap plastic body to someone else, and this is where Bella will always belong, not YOU or anyone else, Save what dignity you have left and fucking get out, and stay away from me and anyone in my family or else my beautiful girlfriend's hand's will be the least of your troubles, and never fucking call me Eddie again, only Bella can call me that" he said in a menacingly low voice, while his eyes were shooting bullets of hatred towards her, which was hot as hell, I was so turned on right now I could have begged him to fucking take me right then and there, but I held myself in check. The skank was visibly shaking and turned around and ran out of the room.

I moved to get up from Edward's lap but he wouldn't let me.

"No, you're not leaving, I'm not letting you go for a while now, I've fucking missed you more than I can admit, just stay in my arms for a while, I feel empty when your away" he said gently. I laid my head on his shoulder and my free hand played with the open neck if his uniform.

"Thank you for that, I owe you one" he said softly shaking a little with laughter, and before I knew it we where both laughing hysterically and tears were streaming down our faces. When we calmed down I was back to straddling Edward's lap with my head on his chest and he had one of his arms rubbing soothing circles on my back and the other one playing with my hair.

"You didn't have to say that about me, and I would have kicked her ass real good if you hadn'nt stepped in, it would have been fucking epic, i need to give a good ass kicking and maybe they would leave you alone then, you poor baby everyone wants a piece of you" I murmured teasingly.

"That was fucking sexy, I would pay to see it again, next time I won't stop you, I'm going to have some good times dreaming about it tonight" he teased back and I hit his arm while blushing deep red, he stroked my cheek gently.

"and yes I needed to say that, she and everyone alive needs to know that you are the only one that I will ever want, you're it for me, I belong to you and only you, even if you don't belong to me yet, and I will wait forever till there's a chance for you to be mine just as I am yours and will always be yours, don't say anything just..Just let me enjoy you being in my arms before the emptiness of being without you comes back" he whispered gently with emotion, his words were powerful and I could feel my walls melting one by one, till they were almost gone.

"im ready, why dont you ask me out when im lucid ?" I mumbled gently but I couldn't hear his reply as my eyes where dropping from the mixture if my tiredness and his intoxicating smell, and just before I fell asleep I heard him groan softly" fuck you smell so fucking good" I smiled involuntarily then I was lost in the land of dreams.
