Hello New Readers!
As always all of you who reviewed last chapter were amazing and rather hilarious and I messaged each of you that I put up a teaser last night. Oh and this is an hilarious chapter at least I definitely think so. Anyhow here is the rest of it! Thanks for reading and here you go!
Meeting the Parent's
Edward POV
I had Emmett look all over that damn Hotel for Maria that night but there wasn't any sign of her. I mean a fucking security camera didn't even catch a glimpse of her. I wasn't sure if that was a good thing or a bad thing, hell I honestly wasn't sure if I was hallucinating when I saw her. It didn't matter what mattered now was that in two hours I would be meeting Isabella's parents and spending the rest of the day with all of them. I never got around to meeting them the day after the dinner, because after meeting with Nicholas I had to fly out earlier then I planned.
I had just arrived back in Washington and I was nervous as hell because from what Isabella told me her father could be an intimidating guy. She tried telling me he was a sweetheart; yeah of course his daughter thought he was a sweetheart. Then Ben warned me that the man could scare the shit out of Freddy Krueger. He said that when he asked his permission to marry Angela he took him out hunting and damn near shot his ear off if he thought Ben answered his questions wrong. Something about the man being a human lie detector. Of course this didn't help me any, I mean I couldn't yell at him like I did everyone else. He was my girlfriend's father, my girlfriend… I liked the sound of that when referring to Isabella.
"What the hell are you smiling for?"
Emmett asked coming through the adjoining doors. I pull the t-shirt over my head and tell him to fuck off. He laughs and sits down on the bed. Emmett and I had to actually go out and purchase jeans and t-shirts since we normally only wore suits pretty much everywhere and hadn't packed anything else. I wasn't sure just what we would be doing at Isabella's parent's house but she warned us both that sneakers, jeans and a t-shirt was best.
My cell phone starts to ring and I pick it up seeing it was Bree. I was hoping she wasn't calling me with the same bull shit she called me with last time. Apparently the night after the dinner Isabella and I were the talk of the fucking gossips. It ranged from;
"It looks like Edward Cullen is no longer one of the most illegible bachelors in the world ladies. He was seen yesterday night with a beautiful brunette who has been identified as Isabella Swan from that steamy interview back in March. Apparently the fire did not go out after the interview. Neither of them were available for comment."
Then there was, "A source says, Edward Cullen was not able to keep his eyes off of his beautiful date last night. She is believed to be the co-host of a morning show in Chicago. So the question is, has Edward Cullen fallen in love?" Then there was the one that pissed me the hell off between these two guys "I just want to know where he finds these women. I mean it's rumored he's an ass and yet he gets these gorgeous women on his arm year after year." The first guy said, then his co-host added "More like month after month. But I guess being able to buy the world would make any woman over look him being an ass right? They probably all are just looking to be Mrs. Cullen and get their hands on that fortune."
By then I heard enough about the asshole and their speculations about Isabella and my relationship. It was one thing to talk about me but to even imply Isabella was a gold digger pissed me off. So honestly I was trying to avoid hearing the shit the tabloids was coming up with.
"Hey Bumble Bree."
I say finally answering the phone, "Hey Eddie, are you back in Washington yet?" she asked me and I slid my watch onto my wrist. "Yeah I am about to actually leave to meet her at her parents' house." I tell her. It was amazing my sister was over in Europe and still managed to be in my business.
"Good, are you nervous to meet her parents?"
"Edward Cullen doesn't get nervous."
I lied and she and Emmett both laughed calling me full of shit, "Just be yourself, Eddie not the jerk you pretend to be, I'm sure they will love you. Mom and Dad love her, oh that reminds me I should give you warning that mom went behind your back and invited Bella to the 4th of July gathering." Bree told me and I groan running my fingers through my hair.
"How did she even get Isabella's number?"
"I don't know. You know mom she probably made some phone calls, and we both know that no one tells Esme Masen Cullen no."
Bree told me and I knew she was probably right. I hoping Isabella didn't think the reason I hadn't said anything about it was because I didn't want her to go. Of course I wanted her to go; I planned to ask her today before my mother interfered.
"Well what did Isabella tell mom?"
"I don't know she just got off the phone with me to call her."
Bree told me and I checked the time on my watch. "So I wanted to ask you, are the two of you going to confirm your relationship to the public?" Bree asked me and I ran my fingers through my hair again. "No it won't change anything it will only make it worse." I tell her and she agrees then says
"Oh this must be how Robsten feels, it's so cute!"
"What? Who the hell is Robsten, you know what never mind."
I reply and she laughs into the phone and calls me an old man. "Tell Bella I say hi." Bree says and I talk to her a while longer and then hang up when Emmett and I are getting ready to leave. We got a rental which I wasn't ok with but Seth wasn't here and neither was my car. Emmett put Isabella's parents address into the GPS system and I headed to the little town called Forks.
"So do you think he'll shoot at you like he did Ben?"
Emmett asked with a stupid grin on his face, "If he does you're fired." I tell him and we both laugh. We drive up the streets and Emmett laughs when he says,
"They really grew up in this shit town?"
"Don't let Rose or Isabella hear you say that."
I reply and we both laugh. I text Isabella and tell her that we're not far from her parents house and she sends back a smiley face.
"Are you going to tell Bella you think Maria was at the dinner a couple nights ago?"
"No because since nothing seemed to catch her not even a security camera I was probably just seeing shit, and I don't think it would be a good idea to tell my new girlfriend that I'm imagining my ex girlfriend."
I reply and he nods his head in agreement. When we finally arrive outside of the house that Isabella described I start to feel those fucking nerves get the best of me again.
"Ed I think the last time I saw you this nervous is when we were sixteen and your parents busted us for having that pool party while they were out."
Emmett says and I laugh remembering how we freaked because my parents came home early. "I still think Emily snitched on us because we sent her back to her room." I tell him and he laughs agreeing with me.
I watch the front door of the house open and Isabella comes out wearing a thin yellow blouse and I mean thin as in I could see the black bra under the shirt. The shorts she was wearing may as well been pointless since the shirt came down over most of it. Fuck, she looked great. I thought to myself as I watched her long legs as she walked over to the car. I climbed out of the car and pulled her into my arms the moment she got to me.
"Hey gorgeous."
"Hey, I missed you."
She says hugging me back, I pull her back slightly and she looks up at me with a smile on her face. "I missed you too, now are you trying to get me shot by your father?" I ask her and she giggles, that fucking giggle was going to do me in.
"What are you talking about?"
"Your outfit, Isabella. I'm going to have to super glue my hands into my pockets to keep from touching you in front of your father."
She bits her bottom lip then raise up on her toes so that our lips are only inches apart, "Who said you couldn't touch me, I'm a big girl." She says and I inhale deeply then take her mouth holding the back of her neck as I deepen it. I hadn't realized just how much I missed her in the matter of three days until just now. She tasted better than anything I ever tasted and it was driving me insane. I bit her lip taking it into my mouth and she moaned pressing into me harder and I wrapped my arms around her waist. She slid her arms up my chest and then into my hair pulling me to her as she sucked on my tongue. Fuck, my dick was hard as hell against her stomach. I knew she could feel it because she smiled against my lips. I moved my hand from her low back and gripped her ass grinding her into me. I had forgot just were we where until I heard Jacob say,
"Think they know they have an audience?"
"No, but if he has any fucking respect for her he'll stop kissing her like he's trying to suffocate her."
I hear an unfamiliar voice say, "Charlie stop it, it's cute they missed each other." I hear a feminine voice add and I realize that her parents are watching us. I quickly pull my lips from Isabella's and she groans in disappointment. This was just perfect I come to meet them for the first time and they catch me making out and groping their daughter in their drive way like we're teenagers. Then the obvious hard on I had wasn't helping matters either. Already I'm afraid to turn around and look at the damn man. The last man to scare the shit out of me was my grandfather and at least he was family.
"Edward are you ok, you look sick?"
Isabella asked with her hand on my cheek. "Yeah I'm fine." I tell her and then look down between us and she mouth's 'Oh' looking at my now semi hard on. Once again I have to think of the most unattractive things I could think of and honest the idea of her father shooting me did the trick just fine. Isabella takes my hand into hers. "Come on let me introduce you to my parents." She says and I follow her as we walk around the car towards the audience we apparently had. I shake Jacob's hand first and he's smiling at him.
"Good to see you Edward, happy you and Bella were able to work things out."
He says and I nod my head, "Edward this is my mother and father Renee and Charlie Swan. Mom, Dad this is my…" Isabella pauses and looks up at me with a blush hitting her cheeks and I fight the urge to kiss her pink lips again.
"…this is my boyfriend Edward."
She finally finishes saying looking at me as if saying that gave her as much joy as it gave me to hear it and call her my girlfriend in return.
"He better be, kissing you like that in public."
Her father says and I pull my eyes from Isabella's "Daddy stop." Isabella warns him and I hold out my hand to shake his. He takes it and gives it a nice grip,
"Nice to meet you Edward, heard a lot about you. Hope it's not all true."
He says and I knew he isn't referring to what Isabella may have told him but what he heard in the tabloids. "No sir it's not. It's nice to meet you as well Mr. Swan." I say then shake Isabella's mother hand next.
"It's nice to meet you too Mrs. Swan."
"Oh call me Renee, my mother in law is Mrs. Swan."
She tells me and I smile at her, "Jeez Bella, that picture on your laptop does not do this man justice." Renee says smiling at me and I feel extremely uncomfortable because Charlie is looking at me like he already wants to rip my head off my shoulders.
"Mom!"
Isabella says sounding like an embarrassed teenager. I couldn't pull my eyes off of her father who was standing in front of me with his arms folded over his chest.
"So Edward you disrespect all your women the way you just disrespected my Bella?"
"Dad stop it!"
"Mr. Swan I would never disrespect Isabella."
"Isabella?"
He asked looking over at Isabella now, "Yes dad Isabella. I like when he calls me that, and Edward didn't disrespect me just now. He didn't do anything I didn't want him to do." Isabella told him and now his eyes were back on me. "Ever been hunting Edward?" He asked me and I swallowed hard nose flaring.
"No Sir."
"Want to go?"
"Charlie cut it out, NOW!"
Renee tells him with a stern look on her face. I want to beg the man to listen to his wife. I swore if I didn't care about Isabella I would have just dealt with her father the way I did everyone else and left.
"Who's he, your driver or something?"
He asked nodding his head behind me. I turn around and realize he is referring to Emmett who is leaning against the car with a huge smile on his face. He was enjoying this and I knew it,
"No sir, he's actually my body guard and…"
"What you think you need protecting in my house?"
"…yes...no… I mean no sir…I…"
I wasn't sure what to say, hell I wasn't even sure why I said Emmett was my body guard first instead of my best friend. Probably because I felt like I needed my body guard to do his job right now instead of leaning against the damn rental laughing. I inhaled a deep breath and pulled my shit together.
"Emmett is a good friend of mine; he plays the part of my body guard when necessary. He is here to see Rosalie actually."
I finally reply and he nods his head, "Is that right? You're dating my Rosie?" He asks Emmett and I turn to see Emmett quickly stand up and this time it's my turn to smile.
"Uh yes Sir."
He says and I hear Isabella giggling from next to me. "Umph. They can sure pick'em can't they Renee" Charlie says then he turns on his heels and head back into the house. This was going to be a long fucking day. I looked down at Isabella who looked annoyed with her father.
"Ignore him you guys, he has just always been very protective of the girls. Rosalie's father was an officer on the same force as Charlie and he died in the line of duty. So, Charlie takes it very serious to look after her as his own."
Renee explains and Emmett and I both nod our head in understanding. "So come on in we are just waiting for everyone else to get here." Renee says then she turns and goes into the house.
"Don't worry Edward it will only get worse."
Jacob says with a grin and Isabella shoves his shoulder, "Shut up Jake." She tells him pulling me into the house behind her. I swore I felt like a fifteen year old boy again instead of the thirty-two year old man I was. We all go inside and Isabella takes me into the living room and we both sit down on the couch.
"So did everything go good with the investors?"
Isabella asked me playing with my fingers which let me know there was something else on her mind, "Yeah everything went great actually." I reply looking around hoping her father didn't pop out somewhere. She inhales then exhales and I look at her,
"What's wrong Isabella?"
"Um your mother called me inviting me to a cookout…"
Ah! I got it now, "Yeah I was going to talk to you about that…" I say and she looks up at me those russet eyes pulling me in again. "…if you don't want me to go I mean I'm ok with that. I told her I would talk to you first I didn't tell her I was coming." Isabella says before I can say anything else and I chuckle unable to resist.
"You think I don't want you to go with me?"
"I mean it's a family function and…"
"…and you're my girlfriend unless you plan to change that by then."
I say to her and she laughs, "Edward you don't have to say you want me to go just because your mother called. I'm not going to break up with you over it." She says and I shake my head at her.
"I was already going to ask you before my nosey mother had to stick her nose in it."
I tell her and she smiles, "Edward have you ever been fishing before?" I hear Charlie ask and I look up and see him standing in the door way that looked like it lead to the dining room.
"Uh no Sir I've never been fishing."
I reply and he grins at me, "Today's your lucky day. We're all going out to the creek to do some fishing." He tells me and I look at Isabella wondering why she didn't give me warning and she laughs,
"I was worried you wouldn't come if you knew what we were doing today."
She tells me and I smile at her, I lean into her and say. "I still came even though Ben warned me that I might get shot at." She giggles and tells me that only happened to Ben because he had broken Angela's heart before he came to his senses and purposed to her. So to avoid being shot by the chief, don't break his daughter heart. I could do that, at least I had no plan on ever hurting Isabella.
"So who's going?"
"Pretty much everyone you already know, other than Jacob's girlfriend Leah."
"She's not my girlfriend!"
I heard Jacob yell and Isabella and I both laughed. "Then Jacob what is she since I know you are sleeping with her?" Renee yelled from where I wasn't sure.
"Mom you know I was only joking."
Jacob yelled back and Isabella laughed, "Mom! Dad!" I hear who I assume is Angela from the front door. I watch as everyone starts to come in and Emmett greets Rosalie. I laugh when Charlie clears his throat and Emmett damn near jumps out his skin.
We all left out of the Swan house and piled into the cars. Isabella and Rosalie drove with Emmett and I. "Bella does your dad really think we are all fitting into that boat?" Emmett asked as he drove and Isabella and Rosalie giggled from the back seat.
"We should probably tell you that we never actually go out on the boat."
"So why is he taking it?"
Emmett asked and I looked back at Isabella and already knew what she was about to say next. "The men go out on the boat and we ladies stay behind by the dock." Isabella says and Emmett and I curse under our breaths at the same time.
"We have to be on a boat with your father?"
Emmett asked and I swore I wanted to tell Isabella to fuck it and leave. The man scared the fuck out of me in the first five minutes I met him and now I had to go out on a boat with him.
"Emmett, Charlie is a real sweetheart."
"I wish the two of you would stop calling that man a sweetheart."
I say and they both laugh, "Baby if you want to go I swear I'll understand. I'll tell dad you had an emergency with work." Isabella said and I was still hung up on her calling me baby. Of course women called me that in the past but it was something about hearing her calling me that. Call me an idiot but I felt like I could face anything now, I know stupid right. I pulled my balls out of hiding and tried telling myself that I was not afraid of her father. I was just pissed that for the first time in my life I couldn't just ruin him like I did any other idiot that disrespected me like a common dick.
"No Love Emmett and I will be alright riding with your father."
I say and Emmett looks at me as if I had lost my mind and I laughed. Now I wanted to really go just to see Emmett squirm. When we arrived at the dock everyone unloaded and Ben and Jacob helped Charlie get the boat into the water, while Jasper, Emmett and I helped the ladies get out the tables and chairs they were setting up to picnic at. There was a grill and coolers I swore I hadn't even watched them pack all of this stuff. Apparently the men would go catch the fish, bring it to the women who would then cook it. Something about it being a Swan tradition. I figured it was just Charlie's way to get his daughters boyfriends alone to scare the fuck out of them some more without his daughters interfering.
I felt arms slide around my waist and I turned around and looked into those russet eyes. "I'm happy you're here." She says and I smile down into her face. "Yeah me too." I reply and she rises up on her toes for a kiss and despite the fact that I am more than sure her father is watching us I lowered my head and place a kiss on her lips.
"Can you do me a favor today?"
She asked against my lips and I ran my fingers through her hair and she looked up at me, "Anything." I say and she smiles with that blush on her cheeks again.
"Can you not be CEO Edward Cullen today, but the Edward Cullen you tell me that you use to be before Masen Enterprises, you know the guy who played football on the beach with his best friend, the one that I see when we are alone?"
She asked and I can't deny her anything, I could take my corporate hat off for a day. "Yeah I can do that." I tell her and she smiles again and I'm happy knowing I am the reason.
"Good. Don't let anyone get to you today alright? Try not to worry about work. Everyone who matters know that you are here with me which means if its dying information they will call me when they can't reach you."
Isabella tells me and I push a fallen curl behind her ear, "It sounds like you're worried about me Isabella." I say with a smirk and she grins at me,
"You work too hard, and today is your first real day off in three years. I just want you to enjoy it."
"I'm with you, so already it's the best day off."
I tell her and she blushes then stuff her face into my chest. "Alright you girls say goodbye to the women and lets go get the damn fish!" Charlie yelled and Isabella groaned. She looked up at me,
"Don't let my dad get to you, he's real nice. He's just being a huge ass because of what James put me through."
"I will never treat you the way he did."
"I know that."
She tells me looking away as if some part of her didn't know. I lifted her face to mine and kissed her lips softly at first and then she parted her lips. I inhaled her scent and pulled her tighter against me devouring her mouth.
"Again Cullen?"
I hear Charlie's voice ask and I reluctantly pull my lips from Isabella's. She turns in my arms and looks at her father,
"Dad be nice please, I really really like him."
She told him and I tried not to laugh at the pout she put on. "That's all the more reason I need to get to know him Bella-rina." Charlie replied with a smile and Isabella groan.
"Dad please stop calling me that."
"Why? I still call Angela, Angel cake and she likes it. Right Angel Cake?"
"Yeah sure dad."
Angela replied in a non cheerful tone about her nick name from her father. "Come on Cullen, let's go fishing." He says and I place one last kiss on Isabella's lips even though her father is watching. We all head over to the boat and get in and Emmett looks like he's going to be sick.
"Emmett you don't get sea sick do you?"
"No I'm alright in Ed's yacht but this is small and there are six grown men on it."
Emmett says and I laugh and he tells me to fuck off. Charlie climbs in and jumps up front to pull away from the dock. We all wave back at the women then we are on our way. Charlie doesn't go far out into the water. He said he liked to make sure he could see his wife and daughters while he was out here. Jacob hands out the fishing poles and then he begins to tell us all what we have to do. When he got to the bait part I'll admit I got grossed the hell out when he said that we would be using insects instead of worms.
"Why insects?"
I asked and Charlie smiled at me, "Scared of bugs or something Cullen?" he asked and inhaled snatching the bait from Jacob.
"No sir just curious."
I reply taking a fucking dead grasshopper out of the bucket. "Insects are more ideal when trying to catch pan fish like sunfish and trout." He answers and I nod my head. Once we are all ready Jacob and Charlie shows us how to cast out and we soon follow. We all laughed when Emmett's hook got caught onto his pants.
"That shit isn't funny, don't tell Rose Ed."
He said to me and I only laugh promising nothing. The boat becomes quiet for a while then Jacob says, "Charlie brought me out here after my parents died. Been fishing with him ever since." I nod my head and Jasper has a smirk on his face when he says,
"Charlie brought me out here when my and Rose dad died too. My mother didn't know what to do with me so Charlie brought me out here."
Jasper said and I could tell that they both looked up to Charlie a lot which now explained their close relationship and respect for his daughters.
"Fishing fixes everything. No woman around to nag in your ear, just you, the water, a cold beer and your thoughts."
Charlie says kicking his feet up on the side of the boat. "Plus one of the easiest ways to get to know a man, he has no escape." Charlie adds looking at me and I have that uncomfortable feeling again.
"Ben you treating my Angel cake good?"
Charlie asks still looking at me but I don't turn my head to make eye contact with him. "You know it Charlie; don't want to take another hunting trip." Ben replies then laughs nervously.
"I haven't been hunting in a while, Jake do I need to take you hunting; I hear you and Clearwaters daughter are getting serious."
"No Dad no hunting trip for me."
Jacob replied laughing and I was starting to notice that everyone once in awhile Jacob would go from calling Charlie and Renee mom and dad or by their names.
"Good, Emmett and Edward want to go hunting?"
"No Sir."
I quickly reply and Jasper and Jacob laugh. "I don't hunt Chief Swan." Emmett says and I shake my head because Emmett is full of shit. Everyone becomes quiet again until we can hear the women laughing from the shore and we all laugh as well.
"Renee is probably getting those girls all drunk."
Charlie says taking a pull from his beer. "Yeah it's her fault Leah is even here, I didn't invite her." Jacob says and Charlie chuckles, "She's worried that you're not dating and that you're going to die alone. I told her to leave it alone but you know how she is." Charlie tells him. The boat goes quiet again and I was starting to think maybe this wasn't so bad and then Charlie asked,
"So Cullen I saw those photos from that dinner my Bella-rina attended with you. You like having my daughter on your arm like a piece of eye candy or trophy wife?"
"Yes Sir."
I quickly replied knowing I enjoyed having Isabella by my side that night. But when I look at Charlie his eye brow is raised at me ok so maybe that was the wrong answer, "No sir." I reply and Emmett laughs as Charlie puts his beer down.
"Well which is it Cullen yes or no?"
"I honestly don't know how you want me to answer this. I mean Isabella is definitely a prize any man would be lucky to have her. She beautiful, smart, strong willed, independent and opinionated. I just got lucky that she wants an ass like me."
I answer and he nods his head and picks his beer back up, "You usually have a lot of eye candy when you attend functions Cullen, I googled you last night. So how many women do you have total?" He asked me and I had to clear my throat did this man just say he googled me? He was looking at me obviously waiting for an answer,
"There is only Isabella Sir. The tabloids make's up more than half of that shit up. Those women are usually relatives my cousins or just a woman I happened to be talking to when the picture was snapped. Isabella is the only woman in my life apart from my mother and sisters."
I reply and again he nods his head, I remembered Isabella telling me something about him being a human lie detector so I knew it was probably in my best interest to be honest, at least as honest as I could be. Everyone dropped to a silence again making small talk and Jacob and Ben caught a fish a piece. I wasn't sure who brought the topic up but somehow we were on the topic of sex and then Charlie asked the question no man wanted his girlfriend's father to ask,
"Are you fucking my daughter Cullen?"
Everyone damn near choked on their beers. I finished off my bottle because I need that hit like a mother fucker after that question. It was obvious he was waiting for my answer so I looked at him and said,
"No Sir and I don't plan to…"
"…My daughter not attractive enough for you Cullen? You were feeling her the hell up like a stripper form bunny's house."
He said cutting me off before I could finish what I was about to say. I assumed Bunny's house was a strip club. The guys on the boat were laughing and I cleared my throat preparing to finish my answer.
"That's not what I meant Sir… I only meant that I wouldn't fuck her Isabella like some common whore…" I had to pause because I couldn't believe I was really having this conversation with her father. "…I intend to treat her the way she deserves and make love to her."
I finish saying running my fingers through my hair now. He took another pull from his beer and I could tell he wasn't done grilling me yet. Thankfully a fish caught onto his line and he was distracted for a few minutes. But once he was situated with new bait he started the questions again,
"What are you plans with my little girl Cullen?"
Charlie asked me and I needed time to think about how to answer this so I played stupid, "Plans?" I asked in return and he huffed out a breath.
"Yes plans. Do you see yourself marrying my daughter one day? Having a family with her and building a life with her?"
"Yes Sir, I see all of that with Isabella."
I answered surprised about how truthful that statement was myself. "What about that she probably could never give you a child of your own? She doesn't know I know that that pussy James left her because of that." He said and I gripped the fishing pole tighter hating even thinking about her idiot ex husband.
"Isabella is more than enough for me and if the time should come or if she wanted to there is always adoption."
I answer and unlike his other facial expressions I could see that my reply this time both surprised and pleased him. "Do you love my daughter Edward?" He asked me and it did not go unnoticed to me that he called me Edward this time instead of Cullen.
"I don't know Sir, but I care about her more then I have ever cared about anyone else in my entire life."
I answer again surprised by my own words, "Jake you were right, she picked good this time." Charlie said and I looked over at Jacob, who was laughing when he said,
"I told you that, you just had to go play your game anyway."
I shook my head feeling my body relax, "If you hurt her Edward I will take you hunting and you will never return." Charlie said never looking at me and I swallowed hard when I said,
"Understood Sir."
"Call me Charlie. Now Emmett your turn."
Charlie said and Emmett turned pink, then red, and then purple. "Hold that thought Charlie." Emmett said then he stood up and the big ass punk actually swan dove into the water causing the boat to rock. We all laughed as we watched Emmett swim so damn fast he was causing waves in the water. He was headed back to shore where the women were, probably for the protection of Rose from Charlie. "Aww come on Emmett I was going to go easy on you!" Charlie yells and we all laugh hysterically.
Bella POV
"Oh Bella don't be a sour puss we were only teasing."
My mother says as I take another drink from my wine cooler. "Ha Ha real funny that all of you think its hilarious Edward and I aren't having sex." I say and Angela laughs,
"I mean Bella I've seen the way the two of you look at each other my clothes damn near catch fire."
"Yeah how can the two of you stand it, I mean Emmett and I got busy on our second date."
Rosalie says and I laugh, "That's because you're a skank Rose." I tease and she laughs and shrugs her shoulders. "Maybe? But I have needs and BOB could only do but so much work." Rosalie says and Angela, Alice and I laugh hysterically.
"Wait who is Bob? Rosalie are you cheating on Emmett already?"
My mother asked and I laugh even harder, "No! BOB, you know battery-operated boyfriend." She says and my mother's lips make the O shape and we all laugh again.
"Is that how you are getting by Bella? I mean you have a stake of man meat and you're not sampling it."
My mother says and I remember where my sister got the bluntness from when talking about a man that is not their husbands, "Oh my God! Can we please stop talking about this?" I say and Alice laughs drinking her cooler.
"OK Bella I was joking, I think that it's cute the two of you are not rushing into it."
My mother tells me and I smile at her, "Plus Ang told me you've dreamt about him." She says with that damn happy glow in her eyes. I look at my sister who is now trying to hide behind her cooler. I start to say something when I hear shouting from the water followed by booming laughter. We all get up from our seats and watch as it looks like someone is swimming back to the shore.
"Is that Emmett?"
Rosalie asked covering her eyes from the sun. I squint my eyes as I try to make out the body swimming fast as hell toward us.
"Um I think so, do you think something's wrong?"
Alice asked and I shake my head, "No I doubt it because the others are still on the boat laughing." I say. We all wait until he comes up on shore soaking wet and he looks at me when he says.
"Your father scares the living shit out of me."
We burst into laughter as Rosalie goes over to him trying to stifle her laughter. "Emmett what happened?" I asked him and he just told me that dad was asking Edward all of these questions and then when he finished he told Emmett it was his turn.
"So you dove into the water instead of staying to answer his questions?"
My mother asked with a smile on her face, "Yes!" He said and we all laughed again. Rose took Emmett to get a change of clothes from the little shop up on the boardwalk and we all sat back down.
"Well your father hasn't thrown Edward overboard so I guess he passed."
My mother says and I look out at the boat and can slightly see the guys laughing and talking. "Bella are you in love with him?" My mother asked out of nowhere and I turn around and look at her.
"No, I mean I don't know. I care about him, a lot."
I answer and she only nods her head with that mom knowing smile on her face. "So Renee do you have the dreams like Angela and Bella?" Alice asked my mother and I groaned being back on the subject of the dreams.
"Oh heavens no. Even though, if I did I may not have given Charlie such a hard way to go when he was trying to take me out."
My mother says and Angela and I laugh. "That is for the Swan women, I just married in so I do not have it." My mother says and I mumble lucky under my breath and she laughs obviously hearing me. When Emmett and Rosalie return he has on dry clothing and they are both smiling.
"Now Emmett, I hope you know my husband will just torture you until he talks to you."
My mother tells him and I laugh at the look on his face. We all sit and talk for a few about another hour before the boat looks to be coming back. Alice and Angela began to tease Emmett. I swore I have never seen such a large man scared of anything, especially Emmett. The boat reached the dock and all the guys helped dad pull it up to the shore. Dad bragged about the fish they caught as he took it over to my mother.
"Charlie, I'm not cleaning these."
"I know babe, I'll clean it in a minute."
My father tells my mother then places a quick kiss on her lips and goes to put the fishing poles in his truck. I stand up from my seat and walk over to Edward smiling,
"So you survived?"
"Yeah hardly. But since Emmett chickened out I don't feel so bad."
He says and I laugh wrapping my arms around his waist. "He said dad asked you a bunch of questions. I swear if you want to break up with me for letting you be ambushed like that I will completely understand." I tell him and he laughs wrapping his arms around him.
"Isabella I'm not breaking up with you, honestly if you would have told me I probably would have come up with some excuse and not have shown up."
He replies and I slap him against his chest and he laughs. I bit my lip as I watch his head lower to mine and he places a semi opened mouth kiss on my lips. When we pull apart we help get the rest of the food out as dad clean the fish. Alice talked us into a game of volleyball while my parents cooked the fish and I laughed when dad got hit in the head with the ball Emmett spiked. I swore Emmett was going to shit his self before the day was over.
"You know the only reason he's scared is because he knows your father is going to ask him if he is sleeping with Rose."
Edward said in my ear while we sat on one of the beach chairs together and I giggled because I knew Emmett couldn't lie because my father would know and I also knew if my father found out Rose and Emmett were sleeping together he would only torture Emmett more. Then I wondered how Edward knew my dad would ask him that and then it hit me,
"Did my father ask if we were having sex?"
"Not in those exact words."
Edward replied and I growled and rolled my eyes, "Don't worry about it Isabella. I understand your father he just wants to protect you from jerks like James. I can't be upset with that because I want to protect from jerk like him too and anyone else that could do you harm." He tells me and I smile. I look back and lift my head for a kiss which he places on my lips.
"Hey Edward I may have said you passed but it doesn't mean I want to watch you make out with my daughter all damn day."
My father yells and we both laugh. Edward wraps his arms around me and I relax against his chest. This was nice, it felt right, perfect even. Then his damn phone rung and I growled when he leaned up to answer it.
"Edward I thought we agreed no work today…"
"Isabella its Benjamin…"
"I don't care, you promised me…"
"Technically I didn't promise you…"
"Technically?"
I say feeling like I was verbally slapped in the face. He tells me he'll be back in five minutes and then leans in to kiss me and I dodge it the kiss landing on my cheek. I watch as he walks up the beach a little and I inhale a deep breath. I see my parents looking at me so I try to play it off not wanting them to see that I was upset. I watch Edward while he is on the phone and I can tell he's annoyed because he's pulling at his hair. Then he yells 'fuck' and I know what ever Benjamin called to tell him wasn't good news, though honestly whenever Benjamin called it was never good news. I honestly never liked him or Royce from the day they interviewed me it was creepy. But I knew Benjamin was Masen Enterprise's Vice president, so when Edward wasn't around he ran everything. Edward started cursing and pulling at his hair again and Emmett looked at me asking me who he was on the phone with.
"Benjamin."
"Ah!"
Emmett says sitting back in his seat. What he said would take five minutes took almost fifteen as he was still on the phone shouting. Edward then calls Benjamin a few impolite names that of course caught my parent's attention then he hung up and marched back over to where we were. He apologized to my parents for his language then came to sit back down behind me.
"Is everything alright or did Masen Enterprises crumble?"
"Isabella not now."
He snarls at me, "If you would have just not answered your phone you would not be so damn pissed right now." I tell him and he glares at me, I mean he really fucking glared at me.
"Isabella I'm warning you."
"Warning me? Fine then Edward you don't have to hear another fucking word out of my mouth for the rest of the day."
I say then I get up from my seat leaving him in the chair alone. I grab a wine cooler out of the ice and head up the beach some. I hear talking behind me but I ignore it not in the mood to see everyone watching me walk away from Edward. I stop a few feet where Edward was standing on the phone and pop my drink open and take in as much as I can until I need to breath.
"A shot will get you there faster than downing that Pina colada wine cooler."
I hear his velvet voice say but I don't respond. Yes I was going to be a brat and give him the silent treatment.
"I'm sorry Isabella, the call was important."
He says and still I say nothing. "What do you want me to do? I run a multimillion dollar company I can't just not be unreachable Isabella." He says and again I say nothing taking in some more of my wine cooler.
"So are you going to act like a child and really not talk to me?"
He asked me and I looked at him like he had bumped his head, "Isabella…" He says and I say nothing and began to walk away. He grabs my arm stopping me and I see my father's chest puff up obviously he was watching us. Edward looked over at my father and he released my arm.
"Isabella please, I'm sorry for answering the phone and I'm sorry for snapping at you."
He says and I look into those green eyes and I was a goner. Damn him and those gorgeous eyes. "Edward I just wanted you to have one day without being stressed out by that damn company." I tell him and he takes my hand and pulls me to him.
"I know and I'm sorry. You know Benjamin doesn't normally call unless…"
"…it's important, yeah I know."
I reply looking away from Edward now, "How about this, I make a time limit. No calls after nine pm." He says to me and I look up at him.
"Five." I say,
"Eight"
"Six"
I reply and he chuckles, "Seven." He says and I nod my head agreeing with that. "Now can we please kiss and make up so your father can stop looking at me like's he ready to take my balls and go make soup." He says and I toss my head back in laughter. I look back at him and wrap my arms around his neck; he lowers his head to mine and places a soft kiss on them. I moan and he pulls me tighter against him. His hand starts to snake lower and we hear my father shout out.
"Watch it Edward!"
And we both break away laughing, "When we are not in front of your father you are mine Isabella." He tells me and I giggle, "I look forward to it." I reply and he takes my hand and we walk back to where everyone else was still sitting.
