Chapter 22

Its been a week since I last saw Edward, his work schedule was hectic, we spoke on the phone a lot, just getting to know each other more, we talked about nothing and everything, today was the day I get to see him again, but sadly it's because Alice is throwing a small welcome home party for Charlie and sue since they're officially living together now in an apartment near the bakery, but since Charlie is still a little sick she volunteered to host the party, and everyone was invited, today Edward would finish early and get home to sleep and take a bath and follow us there, and to say I was excited to see him is an understatement.

At nine I was so nervous that I had to excuse myself and go outside the balcony for some fresh air, the sky looked beautiful; filled with sparkling stars each glowing differently than the other, so I just sat laid on the lounge and just enjoyed the view for a couple of minutes, and when I heard a commotion inside I knew Edward was here, but I couldn't move I didn't know how was I supposed to react, how was our meeting supposed to be, I was just too nervous to do anything, so I just thought I'd sit here for a couple of more minutes just until I got the nerve to go inside.

About three minutes later I heard the door behind me open and the sounds of the party inside drifted through, but just as quickly it died down when the door was closed, so I thought someone was just checking to see who was outside, and I was finally going to get up and go inside when I felt the spark, I looked to my left and there he was in all his glory, the man of my dreams looking like sex on legs wearing blue faded jeans with a dark green T-shirt and his signature smirk, but his eye held longing that made my heart flutter, before either of us could talk I was out of my seat and jumping in his arms, he caught me and held me in a tight grip like he was afraid I was going to vanish any second, and I couldn't it help it after that I started kissing him everywhere, his neck, his jaw, his cheeks, his nose his eyes, his forehead, I just couldn't help myself, while he made the sexiest sounds, moaning and groaning about how good that felt, and after a while I calmed down enough to notice that he had walked the small distance to the lounge chair and we were sitting down with me in his lap and my legs encircling him.

"Fuck! I've missed you so much" he said mumbled with our lips almost touching.

"hmmm, don't stay away for that long again, I don't think I can handle it" I whispered softly with my lips moving along his but not yet kissing, and that was all he needed before he captured my lips with an agonized groan in a searing kiss, where we tried to show each other how much we missed one another, he took my upper lip between his teeth nibbling on it then whispered the words 'open up baby, let me in' and that was the moment I lost my connection to the real world and fell into the world of lust, passion, raw need, and the world where only the two of us existed. I granted him entrance and he drove right in, sucking my tongue into his awaiting lips, tasting me, savoring me, and marking me as his, the moaning and groaning from both of us would have been embarrassing if the party hadn't been going on full blast inside, but at that moment I think neither of us cared. I guess it's like they say, absence makes the heart grow fonder.

After about twenty minutes of making out like horny teenagers my phone beeped in my pocket startling me and breaking up our embrace, I took a couple of breaths to try and calm down when I looked up at Edward he looked like he has just been fucked, with his eyes half lidded and his lips swollen and in a pout, his breathing labored and his hair disheveled, I'm sure I looked the same and at that moment I could have given anything to be able to fuck his brains out, but when I looked at my phone and saw I had a text from Alice , all hope went out the window.

- Charlie is getting worried, you've been outside for thirty minutes, get off my brother and come inside, I'm out of excuses. ~AC

'fuck ' I whispered after reading the text and showed it to Edward, he cursed under his breath and I pulled myself from around him and stood up but I was pulled back down by him he kissed my gently then pecked my lips once, twice, thrice and a fourth time making me giggle, we just couldn't let go and it made me more confident to know that it was mutual.

"Hi" he said in a smooth voice after we were both calm.

"Welcome home?" I said gently while blushing.

"That was the best fucking welcome home anyone has ever gotten, I think I should stay away more often" he teased but his eyes looked black with need.

"NO" I replied forcefully."I can't fucking take it again" I said trying to amend.

"fuck you're sexy when you're needy, I wish we didn't have to go inside, come on sweetheart, lest get this over with so I can have you all to myself when we're done" he said gently and we both stood up to go inside after fixing our clothes and our hair, when I opened the balcony door and was just about step inside I was pulled back to Edward's front and ever so gently he whispered "I fucking love you Bella" and then left me standing there with my mouth agape , my heart fighting to blow out of my chest, my face flaming red, and my lips forming the words but nothing was coming out, I just needed more time.

Tonight was karaoke night as well, everyone had to sing, and shockingly Charlie was the one who started, and to my utter elation he sang to me " my little girl", Charlie had a beautiful voice and that he sang me that song on his own without me begging him for weeks was what made it so special, by the end of the song I was crying freely and so was every woman in the room, Charlie blushed after all the cheers and hugs and kisses he got for that song and after giving me a tight hug telling me all that he couldn't in words he went back to sit in his place next to sue, I looked up searching for the face I wanted the most and found him staring tenderly at me, I pressed my fingers to my lips and sent him a small kiss before anyone could notice, and his signature smirk was back.

Luckily Emmet went next after Charlie and lighten the mood he did, by the end of his performance of " im sexy and I know it" we were all laughing so hard that our jaws hurt so bad that we had to hold them. After Emmet everyone took their turn singing silly songs ,then it was time for duets, and of course the evil pixie set me up to sing " party for two " with Edward, but to be honest it was really fun and we both enjoyed every second of it, it was the only part of the night when I was able to show my emotions freely and dance and have fun with Edward without questions being asked.

A couple of hours later I was just too tired to stay awake, I guess all that worry and nervousness throughout the day has drained me, I said my goodnights to everyone and went on my way, but not before sending Edward a quick text that I knew he couldn't say no to.

- You want real needy? how about me lying in bed , naked and dripping for YOU, how long will you let me wait…~ B

With a sexy smile I winked at him and then I saw him reading my text, his eyes turned black, he looked up at me like he was about to pounce, but he knew he couldn't right then so he just stared at me till my knees grew week and then held up his hand showing me that he will follow five minutes after I left, but just at that moment Esme called his name and told him that she needed to talk to I'm about something, he looked back at me disappointment coloring his features and I couldn't help but laugh loudly at him, he didn't like that very much but he couldn't help but smile , then he raised both hands showing me that he needs ten minutes not five, and I just shrugged bit down on the corner of my lower lip, and turned around and left.

When I got home I fed Doggy, took a quick shower and when I was just about to get out of the shower I heard a knock on the door, I didn't bother with a towel, I walked slowly to the door, asked who it was in a sultry voice, got my answer in a grunt " open the fucking door Bella " and being the good girl that I was , I complied, opening the door slightly and walking back to my room, but not before I heard a loud ' fuck ' and was suddenly airborne over Edward's shoulders and at the next instant thrown on the bed with a squeal, suddenly I wasn't tired anymore, and the rest of the night till dawn was me proving how not tired I was, when I closed my eyes to sleep I was lying on a very satiated and delirious Edward, and I couldn't ask for a more perfect way to end a long week of missing.

We spent the weekend together, whether it was going on dates or just anging around in mine or his apartment or going out to walk Doggy, not one moment was spent apart, and I was dreading the days to come when I didn't have Edward all to myself all the time, I know it sounds clingy and selfish but I don't care I want to spend every moment with him, and then on Sunday afternoon I got mad.

" i don't want you to go and that's final, why did you do this to me, I was a normal girl just living my life, you had to swoop in and ruin everything, this Is all your fault, now I can't spend a minute without thinking about you, I can't sleep without you I can't eat without you I can't work without you, are you happy, I hate you for this, yet I want to spend every fucking moment with you, you messed up my mind, and I can't love you , yet I do , I fucking love you so much it hurts and I don't like it , I want to feel that way, see now you're leaving me and I knew this would happen, I could fucking kill you right now , and why the fuck are you smiling, you think my misery is funny well fuck you, go I don't need you, I don't need anyone" I shouted and by the end I was red in the face from how mad I was and I was breathing heavily so I just left that ass smiling like an idiot and went to my fucking room and slapped the door in his fucking face.

I couldn't calm down as hard as I tried to, so I decided to take a long bath, I didn't hear from Edward for about ten minutes so I assumed he left, I filled the tub with hot water and slipped inside after taking my clothes of and putting enough bath salts to make me lose myself in its scent, and I just closed my eyes and let my mind wander on its own, not five minutes later I heard the bedroom door open and Edward's footsteps as he walked in then I heard him come inside the bathroom but I didn't want to open my eyes this was my relaxing time, so I just ignored his presence and pretended he wasn't here, which wasn't easy.

A couple of seconds later I was gently pushed forward, I scooted over and Edward slipped behind me bringing me back flush against his body, but kept his silence while his hands encircled my waist and his head rested on my shoulder, I still didn't want to open my eyes, and just sat there and the fit I through earlier started running through my mind, damn I was crazy, how the hell did he put up with me. Not two seconds after that thought all that I had said came crashing through and I stiffened in his embrace, oh my fucking god! I said I love him , I fucking said I love him and I didn't while I was mad? Oh my god, who does that! When I was starting to hyperventilate Edward started kissing along my neck.

"hmm, I guess you remember now, it's okay if you didn't mean it sweetheart I understand just calm down, its okay" he said gently with his lips never leaving my body and at his words I loosened his hands from around me and turned around in his embrace, looked into his vulnerable raw eyes, and said the words with all the pent up emotions of the years before.

"I love you" I said softly while running my hands through his disheveled hair, he must have been going crazy to make it like this, my silly tortured Edward. "I love you so fucking much, and I meant every word I said" I kissed his right cheek " I love you Edward" I kissed his left cheek " I love you darling with every fiber of my being" I said then nibbled on his upper lip " I love you more than I love candy" I said laughing through my tears when he chuckled, and then my lips were enveloped with the sweetest most intimate kiss of my existence, then I was hoisted from the tub by a very demanding Edward and for the rest of the night we were basking in the joy of our finally uttered love, and each time just before I reached the promise land I would moan I love you and drive him off the edge as well.

Two days later I was still smiling non-stop because of our late night confessions, its like suddenly I had no care in the world, like everything was solved and I was living a happy life with the man of my dreams, and to say Edward was happy would be an understatement, he was overjoyed , the first night every time I would fall asleep i would wake up to him worshiping my body and it only leaded to me screaming his name in the throes of passion while he did the same, and I loved him more for it. Today as I sat at the cash register just daydreaming of what Edward did to my body, the sounds he made, the touches he would burn me with, and the euphoria he made me live in when my phone rang, and guess who?

"hello sweetheart" Edward said in his smooth enchanting voice.

" hey, how's your day" I said with a smile in my voice, he tends to have that effect on me.

"It's better now, fuck I miss you" he said groaning and my smile only grew bigger.

"Well I am hard to let go of" I said teasing him

"Yes you fucking are, that's why I'm never letting you go, you're fucking mine baby, tell me you're min" he said and I could hear his labored breaths as they matched my own.

"hmmm, how about you come here and I'll show you how fucking yours I am" I moaned, adding the fucking since he had told me he loved it when I cussed, that it was such a turn on, who am I to deny him that, and to be truthful I knew the feeling, just one fuck out of him and I'm drenched.

"Baby, you can't fucking say things like that when I have to work, no I'm going to have a hard on for the rest of the day, you evil evil woman" he groaned in agony and I just laughed.

"Well I have a solution for that, I've been thinking how about I invite everyone to my place tomorrow so we can share the good news" I said hesitantly.

" yup that did it, and that is a fucking great idea, I'll take you right there on the living room table and they'll know for sure what we have to say, easier that way and all that" he replied with a smile in his voice.

"ya that is a good way to tell them but my dad might like it, and I want to have kids with your hair and eyes before anything happens to you" I said teasingly.

He paused for a couple of seconds then he breathed out like he was holding his breath all this time and said " fuck I love you, you truly magnificent woman" gently, making me blush then he got a page and had to go.

When I hung up I remembered that I didn't say I love you back so I called him again and when he picked up I told him I couldn't let him go before telling him something important, and when he was listening to me without distractions I said softly ' I love you baby' and I ended the phone while hearing his beautiful amused content and joyful laugh. I guess life isn't life without the angst and drama, but in the end that is what makes it so worth living, without the heartache there won't be much meaning to the happiness, and ours has just begun...
