Giving Titles
Bella POV
I drove up the streets of Chicago as I listen to Rose over the phone tell me that starting next month we would be doing campaign promotions for the show. Of course I was not looking forward to being on anyone's billboard, on commercials or on magazines but again it was my job.
"So it will be the four of us?"
"Sometimes, since you and Carlos half of the show is the part Alistair wants to sell; you two will be featured alone on some of the promotions for the show."
"Why does that mean we have to do promotions together?"
"Because he wants everyone to see the chemistry the two of you have, like a couple. Working couple."
I groaned into the phone because I just knew this was not going to go over well with Edward. He said he trusted me, but I knew he would hate this. "Fine, but I swear if Carlos tries anything I'm going to cut his little dick off."I say and Rosalie laughs hysterically into the phone.
"Oh my god it's little?"
She asked and I laugh also and start to tell her how he thought he was packing. We joke about that a while longer and then I remember to ask her about our trip to Washington. "Are you packed for Washington already? I'm going to try and get the plane tickets today and I'm on my way to see what's up with Angela now." I tell her, we were all going to my parents thirty-first anniversary dinner and because of my sisters delay in planning I had yet to purchase our plane tickets.
"Yes, I'm all packed. I told you I'm ready when you are. I can't wait to see your parents; oh do you think your mom is going to make those pastries things?"
Rosalie asked and I laughed into the phone, "Yes I'm sure she will. Are you having lunch with Emmett today?" I ask her just as I pull into the restaurants parking lot. Luckily the place was still closed so finding parking on my own wasn't hard.
"Yeah I'm waiting for him now, I hate that I won't see him for another week. Tell your boyfriend he sucks."
She says and I laugh into the phone and go to respond when I see a car pull up behind me and James climbed the hell out. "Oh holy hell!" I yell sick and tired of him popping up everywhere I go. I swore I saw him more in the past year then I've ever seen him our entire marriage.
"What's the matter?"
"The ex husband what else. I mean ever since he saw Edward and I that day he's been up my ass."
"You should just let Edward and Emmett take care of him."
I laugh into the phone, "You make it sound like they are the mob or something and I'm requesting a hit out on my ex husband." I say and she laughs into the phone. I watch as James leans against the back of my car with his arms folded. "Rose let me call you back." I tell her turning the car off and removing my seat belt.
"If you don't call me back in ten, I'm putting an Amber Alert out on your ass."
"Rose Amber Alert is for missing children."
"Well you know what I mean."
She says and I laugh again and tell her I'll call her back in a few. I climb out of my car and grab my purse from the back seat.
"Hello wife."
"Ex wife James why do I have to keep reminding you of that?"
"Bella in gods eyes we are married until death does us part."
"I'll make a phone call then and make it happen."
I reply and he laughs and I roll my eyes, "You are beginning to be a little difficult to follow Bella, going to private places all the time." He tells me and I know he is referring to yesterday when he was following me and I went to the private garage of the Masen building.
"James you are like a bad rash no matter how many different ways I get rid of you, you just keep coming back."
I tell him closing the driver side door, "Cute Bella. Why don't you tell me what's going on with you and Cullen and then I'll stop following you around." He says and I roll my eyes.
"Why don't you tell me what is going on with you and Victoria, I heard she left you."
I say knowing damn well Victoria said he left her, but I knew James well enough to know saying she left him would piss him off because James was an arrogant egotistical son of a bitch.
"That bitch didn't leave me, no one leaves James Johnson. I left that two timing bitch you know that kid wasn't even mine."
He says and I try not to laugh at the irony in that. I remembered very clearly a little over a year ago when he left and told me he had gotten Victoria pregnant. It stung like hell thinking he had gotten his mistress pregnant and not his wife. Of course I thank my lucky stars not that I never got pregnant by his ass.
"Wow James, maybe she only likes married men."
"What the hell is that suppose to mean?"
He asked me and I didn't reply, I started for the restaurant and I knew he was behind me. "Now what about you and Cullen? Some are trying to imply its romantic, but come on we both know you're not his type Bella, so what's the real story?" he asked me and I rolled my eyes blowing out an irritated breath.
"There is nothing about me and Mr. Cullen. He's trying to get me to work for him but I would never abandon KBC."
I say trying to keep on with the charade that was now created as to why Edward and I were meeting at all. "Then why continue the meetings?" He asks and I laugh because he was really falling for this bull shit.
"There is nothing wrong with examining all my options just in case."
I reply and the restaurant door opens before I reach it. I smile seeing its Ben and he is glaring at James. "Is he bothering you Bella?" He asked me and I shrug my shoulders and reply,
"He's James when is he not bothering me?"
"Get lost James, its private property and you know I will call the police on you."
Ben tells him and I mouth thank you to Ben, "Fine she answered enough questions for today anyway." James says and I don't bother turning around to see if he left I just walk past Ben into the restaurant.
"Where's Angela?"
I ask him once he shuts the door, "Office checking the profit from last week." He tells me and I nod my head and head towards the office then I stop and look at him, "Did you guys start to pack at all?" I ask him and he smiles at me and I grumble,
"You two truly deserve each other."
He laughs and I proceed to Angela's office I don't bother knocking as I push the door open. She looks up at me and blows out a breath. "Bella please don't start alright. The way all of this is looking I won't be able to close and get out of here until next week." She says and I place my purse on her couch,
"Angela what do you mean you can't close the restaurant until next week?"
I ask her, we had to be in Washington in three days for mom and dad's anniversary dinner and as always my darling sister was waiting until the last minute to tell me anything.
"Bella I can't just close it I mean, this is a business."
"I know that Angela, but you knew mom and dad wanted us there. Why are you closing at all anyway, why can't you just leave Ronald and Heather in charge?"
I ask her referring to her assistant manager and sous chef. "I've never left them in charge for more than one night." She tells me and I run my fingers through my hair,
"If you close you're going to lose more money than if you just let them run it for a couple nights."
I explain to her and she nods her head, "Alright I'll talk to Ben about it. Did you buy our tickets yet?" she asked me and I shook my head.
"No, because I'm waiting for you and Jasper to tell me when you're free. I want to try and get us all on the same flight."
"Ok I'll call you tonight with what Ben and I decide on."
She tells me and I nod my head. I manage to be late for almost everything but Angela was the worst planner ever. She knew about this trip to Washington weeks ago and she was just now making plans for it.
"I'm going to get going; I only came to see what was going on since you were avoiding my calls."
"I was not avoiding your calls, I lost my phone."
She says and I pull out my cell and call her and my ringtone plays from her phone and we both laugh. "Ok so I was ignoring you, but when it comes to making arrangements and planning trips you're like a Nazi and I didn't feel like hearing it." She tells me and I roll my eyes at her,
"Why are you in a rush to leave anyway, I could use your mathematical brain right now."
"I have lunch with Edward before he leaves for Seattle later today."
I tell her and she smiles at me, "So he'll be in Washington while we are?" she asked me and I rolled my eyes at her. "No he has to fly out of Washington before we arrive, so after today I won't see him for another week." I tell her feeling some sadness from that little fact.
"Is that why you look like sex today?"
She asked me and I looked down at myself. I was wearing blue skinny jeans with brown knee high boots over my pants, a white t-shirt and brown leather vest that zipped in the front. I bit my lip figuring that my outfit probably was a little sexy. That now explained why Alice wanted me to wear this so badly for my lunch with Edward. She had practically raided my closet last night before she left after our girl's night at my place.
"Alice picked it out, damn pixie."
"I swear I like her more and more, well don't let me keep you go have lunch and get all of your kissing face time."
She says and I laugh giving her a hug, "I'll talk to you later Ang, and please have a decision made by tonight." I tell her and she laughs. I leave the restaurant and head out to my car texting Edward as I walked,
Are we still on for lunch ~B
I climbed into the car and didn't receive a text back yet. I bit on my lip as I look at my phone and still nothing. So I deiced to drive to his office anyway. I made certain to call Rose back before she went insane calling the FBI and CIA. When I arrived at the Masen building I parked in the garage to avoid the paparazzi and gave the guard Edward's pass code so I could park here.
I enter the building and jump onto the elevators. When I walked off the elevator on to Edward's floor I waved at the receptionist in the front and proceeded to Edward's office.
"Hey Samantha…"
"Oh Ms. Swan I was just calling you to tell you that Mr. Cullen needed to cancel your lunch today."
She says and I look at her with my eye brow raised wondering why Edward hadn't just texted or called me his self. "Really? Is he not here?" I ask her and I can tell she's getting ready to say no, when he shouts 'you fucking idiots' to whoever is in the room with him from the other side of his office door.
"He's in a meeting."
She finally says and I give her a fake smile, "I'll wait." I say and I go to sit down. "He'll be at least an hour." She says obviously anxious to get rid of me.
"Then I guess it's a good thing I have no other place to be."
I say sitting down in the waiting area. She glares at me and I smile in return. I sit back against the leather seats and cross my legs as I wait. Sure enough a half an hour went by before his office door opened and people started to walk out. I rocked my leg in irritation because I watched everyone leave but him as someone shut the door behind themselves. I pulled out my cell phone and still no response to my text message. I got up from my seat and proceeded to his office,
"Ms. Swan you can't just walk into his office."
"Watch me."
I said and swung his door open. He quickly looked up obviously ready to curse but stopped when he looked at me. I looked at him with a raised brow and my hand on my hip.
"Do you not know how to respond to messages now?"
I asked him and he sat back in his chair, "What message, the one that you weren't coming to lunch today." He said and I knew I had a dumb founded look on my face now.
"What? I never said that. I texted your phone asking if we were still on for lunch."
"I left my phone at home, so I had Samantha call you to confirm our lunch and she said you weren't coming."
"Funny because when I arrived she said that you told her to call me and cancel our lunch."
I reply with my nose flaring now, Edward's jaw went tight obviously angry also. I quickly turn on my heels and walk out of his office to go confront Samantha. She sat at the desk trying to act like she was engrossed in whatever she was looking at on the computer. I walked over to her and placed both my hands down on either side of her and brought my lips to her ear.
"I see what you are trying to do Samantha and it will not work."
"I don't know what you are talking about."
"Oh sure you do, you just keep in mind unlike me you're a liability."
I tell her in a stern voice, and then I stand up to walk back into Edward's office. "Mr. Cullen deserves someone that he can show on his arm; do you know why he hides you? It's not because of the press but because he is ashamed to be seen with you. Some average inner city TV host." She says and I stop and turn around. I walk over to her and fight the urge to slap the hell out of her.
"Do you think he would show you on his arm Samantha? You are his assistant; this is not some romantic comedy where the CEO falls for his assistant. The only reason you still have this job is because I took up for you…"
"…and now she's fired."
I hear Edward say from behind me. I turn around and look at him and he looks pissed the hell off. "I already called security to have you removed from the Masen building Samantha." He continues and I look back at her and she looks surprised why I'm not even sure. She brought this on herself and now it really made me question her antics with the shell fish mess,
"Mr. Cullen I can explain…"
"I don't care for explanations, your fired Samantha."
He says as if he just told someone their shoes look nice. Samantha looked over at me and I saw tears in her eyes. "Mr. Cullen I just knew that you were in an important meeting and I was trying to take the initiative and change your schedule so that you're other meetings didn't run into each other. Ms. Swan's appointment appeared to be the least important on today's schedule and…" Edward was holding up his hand halting her from talking,
"Samantha don't feed me that bullshit ass story. I heard what you said to Isabella and you are lucky all I'm doing is firing you."
Edward tells her and I watch a large man turn the corner and was now standing in the waiting area with his arms over his chest. "Jared make sure she leaves." Edward says then he walks back into his office. I look at Samantha and then enter Edward's office after him. He is sitting behind his desk and I can tell he is annoyed. I close his office door behind me and he looked up at me running his fingers through his hair.
He pushed his self further back from his desk. "I was pissed when I thought you cancelled on me." He said and I placed my bag down on one of the sofas in the office. "So was I, especially since I won't see you for another week after today." I tell him now walking over to him. He reaches out for my hand and I place it in his.
"You look beautiful as always."
"Thank you."
I reply sitting on the edge of his desk in front of him now. "You know I'm not hiding you right?" He asks and I smile placing my hand on his cheek. "I know Edward, we both agreed to keep our relationship out of the press." I reply and he takes my hand from his cheek and kisses my palm.
"Since you fired her who will go with you to assistant you tonight, you need Jessica here to monitor Victoria."
I say knowing that even though it was a formal gathering it was still work for him and he needed someone to tell him who each person was, because like almost every CEO in the world he never remembered. He sits back in his chair and smiles at me.
"You can do it."
He says and I toss my head back and laugh, "Don't be ridiculous Edward." I tell him and he is wearing a straight face,
"I'm serious Isabella. This way I get to have you accompany me without the press knowing we are together."
He says and I look at him questioningly, "You're serious?" I say and he nods his head. "You will know every big name there, plus they seem to think I'm trying to steal you from KBC. We'll just claim I'm trying to show you the benefits for working for me." He says with my favorite smile. I bit my lip and think about what he's saying. We would unknowingly be going public but hidden all at the same time. He pulls me into his lap and I'm drawn to his gorgeous face,
"Say yes."
He tells me with his lips only inches from my own. "On one condition." I reply and he grins at me, "Anything." He says and I slide my tongue over his lips, "Kiss me." I tell him and he grips the back of my neck and takes my mouth. I melt against his chest as he explores my mouth gently sucking on my tongue. His hand slides down my back and over my ass gripping gently and I moan. His lips feel soft but dominate as he kisses me damn near senseless. I pull away to breath and he places a kiss on my neck.
"I was supposed to go to Washington with everyone else."
"They can come to."
"Edward?"
"What? It's my party and I can invite whoever I want."
"You sound like a spoiled brat."
"I always get what I want and I want you there Isabella."
He told me and I rolled my eyes. If it wasn't for me not seeing him for almost a week after the dinner I would have told him I wasn't going anywhere with that attitude. "What about everyone else?" I ask him and he grins and I can tell he already thought about this.
"Rose works for KBC maybe I'm trying to steal her from them too, and Jasper works for me building the new hotel, so it's right I invite him and he brings his wife."
Edward replies and I roll my eyes, "What about Angela and Ben?" I ask him and he grins, "I invite them for having the best and most exclusive restaurant in Chicago." He answers and I laugh running my fingers into his hair.
"It sounds like you've already given this some thought Mr. Cullen."
"I already planned to ask you this when you came to lunch, so when Samantha claimed you weren't coming it pissed me off. I took my anger out on everyone in the meeting actually."
"I heard that, you know you shouldn't talk to them that way."
I inform him and he doesn't say anything just simply places a kiss on my lips. "You should know Emmett already asked Rosalie though. When I told him that I was going to ask you to go, he wanted to ask Rose to be his date." Edward says looking up into my eyes,
"So I guess I need to go home and finish packing my things."
I say and he just nods his head, "We leave at six." He tells me and I know because it's a four hour flight and Washington is two hours behind us we'll arrive at seven their time. It sounded confusing but that was time zones for you. Edward hands start to rub up and down my thigh and I try to stay focused before I ask him to take me in his office "I had every intention of cursing you the hell out for not responding to my text." I tell him and he grins at me then leans in gliding his tongue over the corners of my mouth.
"What were you going to say?"
He asked me shifting me in his lap and I groan feeling him hard under me. "I-I don't remember." I reply having a hard time thinking straight. He then lifts and turn me so I am straddling him and I swear I'm going to faint now.
"Come on Isabella concentrate."
He tells me with the tips of his fingers grazing the skin at the hem of my shirt. "You're making it really hard to concentrate." I reply and he chuckles, "That's how I feel being in the same room with you." He says and I smile,
"I have to call everyone and see if they can go tonight, I mean we have to get plane tickets and …"
"Isabella I'm going to pretend that you just didn't say that as if I wouldn't have all of you fly with me."
Edward says and I bit my lip, "Just tell them all they have to do is pack and meet us at the airport." He says his hands slowly traveling up my back. I enjoy the idea that he wants me to be there with him, but I know my parents would want to me meet him after they found out we flew over with him and were going to the Masen Hotel dinner. I wasn't sure just how Edward would react to meeting my parents; I met his but only because we were all at Eclipse together.
"What's wrong Isabella?"
He asked as if he could tell something was bothering me, and then it was probably obvious all over my face, "My parents will want to meet you. My father can be rather protective and he'll want to meet the man flying his daughters to Washington." I tell him and he looks at me with a raised brow.
"Do you not want me to meet your parents?"
"No, I mean I want you to, if you want to."
I say and he smiles at me again with my favorite smile and I blush, "I would love to meet your parents Isabella. I can finally thank the people that created and raised the beautiful woman that haunts my dreams." He says and I'm grinning biting my lip, "I do not haunt your dreams." I say with a giggle and he laughs when he says, "Like hell you do, every night." He says running his nose along my neck now.
"So when you introduce me to your parents am I just your kissing friend?"
He asks and I laugh, "My father wouldn't be happy with that. I was thinking more like my boyfriend, but if you want to just be my kissing friend I could introduce you that way." I say and Edward pulls his lips from my neck and he is looking at me now with an intense stare.
"I'm too old to be referred to as a boyfriend."
"Kissing friend it is then."
"Not funny Isabella. Is this us making it official then, are you my old lady now?"
He asks with a smile and I laugh, "You are older than me, Mr. Cullen and yes." I reply and in a blink of an eye Edward's lips are on mine and he is devouring my mouth. He starts to ease down the zipper to my vest and pulls it off of me never removing his lips from mine. "Isabella can I touch you?" He asked me and I wanted to tell him that was a stupid question but I just nodded my head yes instead. His hands slid up under my shirt and he cupped my breast in his hands. He lifted my bra and my breast tumbled into his awaiting hands. I moaned from the contact as his fingers played and rolled my nipples around. He slid kisses down my throat and I swore I was about to faint when his head dipped under my shirt and he took my nipple into his mouth. He bit each nipple gently making me suck in a shaky breath, as he was increasing the built up sighs of pleasure in my throat. I can't help but rock my hips against him causing the friction I so desperately needed.
I couldn't have left his lap if I wanted to; the feel of his circling tongue and the sweet wicked sucking of his warm mouth set a fever in my flesh that burned everywhere. I was ready to burst and he hadn't even touched me between my thighs. He was amazing at this and I knew I wouldn't be able to survive much longer. I started to rock my hips harder against him and he groans with his mouth still around my breast. I feel it building in me so I lift his face to mine and capture his lips. He slips his tongue into my mouth and when our tongues touched we moaned in delight. I rocked faster needing this release like my next breath, "Isabella stop you're going to make me…" I cut him off with another kiss biting on his lip and he wraps his arms around me and I feel him buck up causing more friction. I knew this was ridiculous two grown adults dry humping like teenagers but I couldn't stop, I didn't want to.
"Aww god…"
I moan feeling it and I grip around Edward's body holding him tightly as he cups my breast again as I grind against him harder. I lean into his ear and moan his name as my release hits me harder than any orgasm I've ever had and that was saying a lot since Edward and my clothes were still on. I recaptured Edward's lips as we kissed sensually while I continue to ride out my release not caring that my underwear were soaked then he growled and I realized what he was trying to stop from causing him to do. He dropped his head on my shoulder and I bit my lip.
"Did you just…"
"…Yes."
He says and I try not to laugh but I do it anyway and he tickles my sides. "You think that is funny?" He asks playfully and I nod my head.
"We're fooling around like teenagers."
I say and he laughs, "I told you Isabella, I can't control myself when it comes to you, and when you do things like what you were doing you make it that much more difficult." He says and I lean in and kiss his lips,
"It was nice though."
"Very."
He says and I kiss him again. He tells me he needs to go clean his self up in his office bathroom and I blush and nod my head. "Just so you know Isabella, I haven't cum in my pants since I was thirteen." He tells me and I giggle.
"Sorry."
He gives me my favorite smile and kisses my lips, "Don't be, but next time can we avoid this in a public place I only have one change of clothing here." I laugh again and nod my head as I fix my bra then get up from his lap. After he changes we have lunch and simply sat there and enjoyed each other until Jessica came back announcing he had another meeting.
They are so cute together *smiles*
