Chapter Six
Daddy
Bella's Pov
I woke up to the sound of my alarm clock going off. I quickly shut it off before it had a chance to wake up Alice and Jamie. I got up and decided to take a quick shower before heading to work. I went into the bathroom and took an cold shower. While I was in there, I started to think about last night's events. I haven't been in a relationship for almost two hundred years, but that's no excuse for the way I behaved.
I scolded myself mentally because of the fact that I acted like a stupid, grade school, hormonal, teenaged boy. First I got jealous when that stupid waiter tried to put the moves on her, then I let the make out session go too far, and then I end up in the shower jacking off to fantasies about Alice. This wasn't the way I was raised to treat a woman. I want to take our relationship slow without sex being the main goal. I wanted to marry this woman for goodness sake!
I got out of the shower and got dressed in a pair of old, torn, jeans and a black, muscle shirt. I put on a pair of old DC shoes and headed back out into my bedroom. I was surprised when I saw that Alice and Jamie were awake. Jamie jumped out of bed and ran towards me at full blast. I bent down to pick her up as she ran into my arms. I held her above my head and spun around a couple of times before bringing her back down to my chest. She was giggling uncontrollably as she hugged me. She pulled back and kissed my cheek, and I reciprocated by kissing her on her forehead. I put her back down, and she ran into the bathroom.
I looked at Alice as I saw her make her way over to me. She looked so damn cute in the mornings. One side of her hair was messed up, her eyes were sparkling this morning, and I guess she couldn't find her pajama shirt because she was wearing one of mine. It was practically a dress on her, the shirt ending at her mid thigh.
"Good morning, Beautiful. Did you sleep well?" I asked as I wrapped her in my arms. She nuzzled her head into my chest and nodded. I leaned down and kissed the top of her head. She sighed contentedly before pulling away.
"What are doing up anyways?" I questioned.
"Jamie has preschool this morning, so I have to take her. The only problem is that I don't have my truck with me, so I was wondering if you wouldn't mind taking us there." she replied.
"Sure, no problem. Where's it at?" I asked.
"It's the Lion's Elementary School in Port Angeles." she replied. That would work out great, considering that Jamie's school is literally across the street from my shop. Damn, I hope that she doesn't have Lauren Mallory as a teacher. After what happened at the mall with her, I don't think that either Alice or I could handle having her in a partial part of our lives.
"That's awesome because where I work is right across the street from there." I saw her eyes sparkle with amusement. She nodded and went into the bathroom to go get changed. I went downstairs to go warm up the car so that it would be nice and toasty for the girls. I headed back inside and saw that Alice and Jamie were already there waiting.
Alice was dressed in a pair of skinny jeans that hugged her legs and cute butt. She had on a pair of UGG boots followed by a heavy, black, hoodie sweatshirt that had the Hurley sign on it in lime green. Jamie was dressed up in a pair of jeans that had butterflies going across them with a pair of UGG boots too. She was also wearing a heavy hoodie sweatshirt, only it was pink and it was Roxy brand. Jamie basically looked like a spitting image of her mother, except she had hair down to the middle of her back. They were like two peas in a pod.
We hopped into the car and headed towards Jamie's school. The car ride there was a lot of fun. All of us sang to the music on the radio, constantly laughing while doing so. I parked the car in the parking lot and walked the girls inside. As it turns out, Jamie did have Lauren for her teacher, since the other one quit. I know for a fact that Alice didn't realize that the girl she met at the mall who was all over me, because she never mentioned her name for Alice to memorize.
Alice and walked side by side holding hands, while I carried Jamie in my free arm. As soon as we got inside the classroom, I was shocked to see Angela there. She had two little kids standing in front of her. One was a little boy and the other a little girl that looked exactly alike. Angela looked over at us, and as soon as she saw Alice and I, she came over to us with the twins. They both had brown hair, the girl's was down to her mid back, and the boy's was shaggy. They both had a dusting of freckles across the bridge of their nose, and both had hazel eyes.
"Hey, Alice, Bella, I didn't know that Jamie went here." Angela said. I smiled and nodded at her, and Jamie waved at her. She smiled back and looked down at the twins.
"I would like you to meet my twins, Jason and Carmen." she said. I crouched down and put Jamie on the floor so that they could introduce themselves. Not even ten seconds later they were laughing and playing with the blocks in the corner of the room. Jamie and Carmen would build a small community, and then Jason would go through and destroy it, acting like Godzilla. Angela, Alice, and I laughed at the display. All of a sudden, I felt very uneasy and noticed a certain presence was behind me. Just like at the mall, Lauren pressed her body into mine, except she was pressing into my back this time. I looked over at Alice, and let's just say that if looks could kill, Lauren would be six feet under with Alice jumping up and down on her grave.
I quickly turned around and tried to back away from her, but she wrapped her arms around me. She once again pressed into me and looked up at me with lustful eyes that made me want to puke. I was about to push her off of me, but Alice took care of it. She pried Lauren's hands off of me and pulled me over to her. I never realized how strong she was until now.
"What are you doing here?" Lauren asked in her snobby tone.
"My child goes to school here, that's what." Alice replied icily. Lauren's eyes widened in surprise. Rather than stick around and have my girl get into a fight and beat Lauren's ass, I decided to pull her outside and talk to her before Lauren could reply back. I bid a farewell to Angela from both me and Alice, because Alice was in totally jealousy mode. She looks so hot in this mode let me tell you, she looks like a hungry tigress getting ready to devour her next prey, and that would be Lauren in this situation.
When I got her outside, I helped her calm down, but it wasn't without difficulty. The only way that I could get her to snap out of her rage mode was to kiss her. It was slow and passionate, but not too passionate, hello there are still kids around. The kiss barely lasted ten seconds before we pulled apart. I pulled her into my arms, and I smiled when I heard her inhale my scent to calm her down.
"You know that green is very sexy color on you." I said, causing her to giggle. I smiled down at her and gave her one more hug before pulling away. I led her back over to my car, and then drove across the street to my workshop. I helped Alice out of her car and led her inside of the garage. I worked at car shop, where I specialized in giving cars sick new paintjobs. I was also restoring Alice's truck for a Christmas present. I had to not only get her car done, but also my other siblings cars.
"So this is what you do for work?" she asked.
"Yeah, I give cars new paintjobs, and help restore cars to their original state." I replied. I was very careful as to not let Alice see her truck. Luckily I locked off that part of the garage so that she couldn't see it. I flipped on the light switch to the main part, surprised that no one else was working today. I went into my office, motioning for Alice to follow, and sat down at my desk. I pulled out the car templates that I had drawn for my family's cars. I already had Rosalie's and Emmett's cars done, so I needed to finish Edward's and Jasper's. Carlisle and Esme said that they didn't want their's painted, but instead a family portrait.
"Wow Bella! You drew all of these including the designs?" Alice asked.
"Yeah, Rosalie like's to drive super fast, so I painted her Mustang to look like the paint was peeling straight off of it. Emmett always like Grizzly bears growing up, so I painted his Jeep into one. The only problem is that I cant figure out what to paint on Edward's and Jasper's cars." I replied.
"Well, what are they interested in?" she asked as she pulled up a chair beside me. I showed her the pictures of Edward's Volvo and Jasper's Camaro. I picked up the pencil beside me and began to tap it against my forehead.
"Edward likes music, and Jasper likes wars." I replied and suddenly my mind began to flow. I ended up drawing Edward's car with musical notes going around it. With Jasper's car, I drew two rifles on the hood, followed by the word 'Major' spelled out with bullet holes. I looked over at Alice, and saw her eyes widened in amazement. I checked the clock on my desk, and noticed that it was already time to go pick Jamie up. Alice and I headed back into the car and drove back over to the school. Alice told me that she wanted to stay in the car rather than see Lauren again, so I went inside by myself.
When I got into the classroom, I saw a group of kids huddled around something. They were laughing and giggling at whatever was down on the floor. I thought it might've been a toy or something, but then I heard quiet little sobs coming from the floor. My mind instantly flashed back to when I would get made fun of for being different, and I started to become angry. It wasn't until one of the boys in the group said something, before I really got mad.
"Look at the freak who doesn't have a dad, you guys." he addressed to the whole group before starting to laugh again. What he said caused the whole group to start laughing again, this time louder than the first, and the person on the floor to start crying louder. I felt anger wash over my body and my canines get sharper when I recognized who the sobs belonged to. I stalked up behind the kids, causing a shadow from my body to overlap them. My heart practically shattered when I saw Jamie curled up on the floor, crying her eyes out. The girls in the group looked up at me startled and ran away. The boys failed to notice and still stayed around laughing and jeering at Jamie. I crouched down behind them quietly.
"Anyone of you boys want to tell me why my best friend is on the floor crying." I growled out. The boys turned around and looked at me fearfully. I scared one of the boys so bad, that he peed his pants. They ran away to the other side of the classroom. I watched with pained eyes as Jamie slowly uncurled her body and looked up at me.
"Bewwa!" she cried out and launched herself into my arms. She buried her face into my shoulder and started to cry her little heart out.
"I'm sorry I didn't get here earlier, Jamie. Shh, I got you, Baby Girl." I cooed to her. I had to hold back a howl of absolute rage, when I saw that Jamie had a bruise on her cheek and a scraped up knee. I glared at the group of boys one last time before carrying Jamie out to the car. I slid into the driver's seat and then pulled up the middle console so that Alice could scoot over to us. She gently pulled Jamie out of my arms and held her tight. Alice ran stroked her hair and rocked her back and forth.
"What happened, Jay?" she asked. When Jamie calmed down and her tears subsided, she pulled her head away from Alice's shoulder and answered.
"I got made fun of at school, because I don't have a daddy. One of the girls tripped me while I was walking, and I scraped my knee. Then one of the boys pushed me, and I fell and hit my cheek hard on the fwoor." she replied. I saw Alice's face pull taught in anger, as she continued to help Jamie relax.
I drove all of us straight home without a second thought. When we got there, Esme was waiting in the living room. She ran over to Jamie as soon as she what condition she was in, and went to go get some stuff to clean up the wound. I looked at Jamie, and I saw myself when I was being abused and made fun of at school. I couldn't take the anger I felt, so I literally ran to the home gym. I got dressed into some work out clothes and began to hit one of the many punching bags that we had in the boxing area. I started out with a few hard blows, before I completely started to massacre the thing. I rained out blow after blow on the bag, thankful that Rosalie enhanced them, so that they wouldn't break under our strength.
"WHY. CANT. I. EVER. PROTECT. THE. ONES. I. LOVE!" I shouted in between punches. I thought back to my mom, and fell to the floor on my hands and knees sobbing. My body was shaking so bad that I almost collapsed onto the floor, if it wasn't for the hands that wrapped themselves around my body. I realized that Alice's small hands were wrapped around me.
I turned around and buried my face into her neck. She rubbed my back and rocked us back and forth like she did with Jamie. I breathed in her scent, causing me to calm down a lot faster. When I finally settled down, Alice slowly removed my head from her neck with her dainty hands, and cupped my face. She stroked my cheeks with her thumbs, causing a low rumbling purr to erupt from me. She pulled me close to her and rested her forehead against mine. We stared into each other's eyes for what seemed like hours, until she pressed her lips gently against mine. The kiss was slow and filled with love. She entangled her hand in my hair, the other one cupping my cheek. I placed my hands on her waist and stroked the smooth, soft, skin that I felt, noticing that her shirt rode up a tiny bit. I heard her gasp, allowing me to slip my tongue into her mouth. She moaned quietly and began to suck on it. I groaned in response, knowing that if we went any longer, something might end up getting in the way. We both pulled away, both of us panting slightly with blushes painting our cheeks lightly.
"Wow." she whispered and smiled at me.
"I know." I replied and smiled back at her.
"We should head back to the house, Jamie's really worried about you." she said as she stood up. I nodded, and intertwined my hand with hers' as we began walking back to the house. When we got into the living room, Alice and I saw Jamie sitting on the couch waiting for us. She looked down at our hands and smiled. We both gave her a hug and a kiss, mindful of her injuries. She turned to me after we did so and held out her arms to picked up.
"Bewwa, can we tawk to each other awone?" she asked as I put her in my arms. I looked over at Alice and saw her nod in agreement. I carried Jamie up the stairs into my room, because while we were talking, I wanted to dress her wounds. I set her down on the bathroom countertop and got out some healing supplies.
"So what did you want to talk about, Jamie?" I asked.
"Why were you mad, Bewwa?"
"Because I know what it's like to get made fun of." I replied. I saw her eyes widen in surprise, causing me to chuckle. I grabbed some disinfectant bandage spray and some cream to help make her bruise go away faster.
"Okay Jamie, I going to spray this stuff on your knee so that it stops it from getting yucky. It might sting, so squeeze my hand if it hurts too bad." I said. I saw a tiny bit of fear in her eyes as I offered her my hand. She grasped it tightly and watched as I lowered the spray over her scraped up knee. She whimpered and squeezed my hand hard when I sprayed it on, luckily her knee didn't move so that I would've had to do it again. It was over in a few seconds, and then I gently rubbed some of the cream onto her bruise. I carried her over to the bed when we were finished. I turned on the TV and laid back with Jamie snuggled up beside me watching the cartoons I put on.
"So you got made fun of too?" she asked. I looked down at her an nodded.
"I got made fun of because I was different then everyone else." I replied. She understood and went back to watching cartoons.
"Why don't I have a daddy, Bewwa?" she whispered. I sucked in a deep breath, not knowing what to say.
"I don't know why, Baby Girl." I said. I hugged her closer to my body and pressed a kiss to her forehead. She yawned and snuggled deeper into my body. She started to drift off to sleep quickly.
"I wish you were my daddy, Bewwa." she whispered sleepily, before clocking out against me. I looked at her stunned.
"I wish I was too, Baby Girl. I wish I was too." I whispered into her hair and kissed the top of her head, before replacing my body with a pillow.
I went over to my computer table and opened up the window beside it. I pulled out one of my cigars from my desk and lit it up. I sat down and started looking up car parts to help fix Alice's truck. About five minutes later, I heard a soft knock on my door and turned to see Alice standing there. I closed off of the internet as she came inside. She walked straight back towards the door leading out onto the balcony. I grabbed my cigar and followed her out there. I took a hit as I watched her take in the beautiful scenery of the woods. I walked over to stand beside her, and was surprised when she grabbed my cigar and took a small puff off of it.
"Thank you, Bella, so much." she said as she handed my cigar back to me. I let it sit in the ashtray that was on the railing.
"No problem, Ali. Besides, I got to watch out for my girls." I replied earning a giggle out of her. The sound was absolute music to my ears.
"I know, but it just seems that I'm holding you back. I mean the first night we met you got thrown into the middle of a conflict between the Volturi and my family. You end up getting into a fight with Mike, and now you have to deal with Jamie's stupid school kids. I just feel like you're carrying all my burdens on your shoulders." she said. I turned her so that she was facing me and lifted her chin so that I could see her eyes. I knew it was a risk with what I was about to tell her since we've only known each other for a couple of days, but I needed to get it off of my chest.
"Alice, you're not holding me back, infact, you're helping me get to the next step in my life. I would also happily carry your burdens for you. You know why? Because in these past couple of days, Alice Brandon, I, Bella Swan/ Cullen, have fallen in love with you." I replied back strongly. I heard her gasp and saw tears reflect in her eyes. I gently wiped them away as they fell, before I was roughly pulled into a passionate kiss by Alice.
"I love you too, Bella." she said after we pulled away. I moved so that I was behind her with my arms wrapped around her waist, while her hands rested on top of mine. I place a quick opened mouth kiss to her pulse point, causing a quiet moan to erupt from her. She leaned back into my strong frame, as we looked at the scenery.
"You know, I heard you last night in the shower." she said, and my heart practically stopped. I groaned as my face turned ruby red. My head dropped onto her shoulder in shame. She giggled and patted my head.
"It's okay, Bella, as long as my name is the one you're calling out." she said.
"It will always be your's." I whispered in her ear. I suddenly realized something, she's walked in on me in the shower a couple of times now.
"Hey, you wouldn't have heard me if you weren't bathroom. Wow Alice, I didn't know you were that desperate to see my body. You've walked in on me a couple of times now." I said. She looked up at me with a deep blush covering her face, causing me giggle. I wiggled my eyebrows at her in an attempt to get her to relax, and it worked.
"Well then why don't you let me sketch you." she said quietly.
"Only if you'll let me do the same." I replied back and smiled down at her. I pulled her tighter against me, and she rested her head on my chest.
"Deal." she answered.
"So what do you want to do now?" I asked her as I took a hit off of my cigar. She took another hit too before answering.
"Why don't we finish up this cigar, and chill out around the house for the rest of the day."
"Sounds like a good plan, My Lady." I said and planted a kiss on her forehead. She giggled and pecked me on the lips one more time, before resuming our plans for the rest of the day.
AN: Let me know what ya guyz think! :)
