Bella hissed through her teeth when a bit of the too hot lasagna painfully burned her tongue. "Ouch. Sweetie, you need to be careful." She told her little daughter. "It's very hot."

"Yes, Mommy." The girl mumbled, taking a sip from the glass of milk in front of her. Then she cleared her throat and turned to her grandfather.

"Grandpa, can I get a kitten for my birthday? Mom says yes, if you allow it."

Charlie coughed. He wasn't exactly fond of pets. Animals never seemed to like him much and he had gotten bitten by dogs more than once.

Resha's brown eyes became bigger in her face. "Please, Grandpa. I really need a cat. My friend Senna has a cat too."

Bella dipped her fork into the lasagna on her plate again. "I think your grandfather doesn't like the thought." So, do I, she added in her head.

"No! Grandpa, you can't say no. I will be so sad on my birthday when I can't get a kitten."

Charlie nodded his head. He circled his fingertip over the edge of his glass. How could he say no to her if she was asking him like that? "Sure, you'll get your kitten."

"DAD!" Bella screeched. She had been a hundred percent sure he was going to tell Resha no. Now, her only chance to get out of the pet problem was to tell Resha, she herself was against an animal in the house. There was no way she was going to do that though.

"Is something wrong, Mommy?" Resha asked, spilling a bit of milk on the table when she lifted her glass to her mouth again. "Isn't it great that Grandpa is allowing me to get the cat?"

"Yes, sure, that's fantastic." Bella mumbled, giving her father a dirty look. He had never allowed her to have a pet when she was a child. Maybe he was starting to get soft with age. "Thursday afternoon, we can go down to the shelter and see if they have any little cats there."

"Animal shelter," Charlie mumbled, rubbing his fingers through his beard for a moment. "That's an excellent idea."

Resha jumped from her chair. "Can I get up? I'm not hungry."

Bella sighed. "You didn't eat anything."

"Grandpa gave me Oreo Cookies while you were cooking." The girl explained, gulping down the rest of her milk. Then she rushed upstairs. She needed to figure out what would be the best place for her cat to sleep. Would her mother allow her to let it sleep in her bed with her? No, probably not.

"Why are you allowing her to eat candy before dinner?" Bella snapped. "She needs vitamins, not more sugar."

"Relax. You need to stop being strict to her all the time. If you forbid kids everything they end up like the two idiots I had to arrest today."

"I don't think it works that way." Bella stated. "Jake and Seth just want to spend time together and their parents are working against it."

Charlie cleared his throat. "Maybe they have their reasons. Seth's mother says Jake has bad influence on the other boy."

"Because they are in love with each other?" she asked, picking up a bit of salad on her fork. "It's hard to be gay, when your parents are homophobic jerks."

"I don't think Mrs. Clearwater is a homophobic." Charlie stated. "That woman has a lot to deal with since her husband passed away last winter."

Bella took a sip from her glass, wondering if it would be okay to have a glass of wine during a week night. It would definitely help her to sleep better.

"Can I have a beer?" she finally asked her father. Charlie smirked and went to the refrigerator to pull out two cans. He opened both up and held one up to Bella.

"Cheers."

"Cheers." Bella whispered, taking a hesitant sip from the cold beer. The taste was bitter but not as unpleasant as she had imagined it to be. "Now, Seth and Jake are both going to ahm…volunteering at the retirement home?"

"Seth, yes, I've got other plans for Jake. They always need help at the animal shelter."

"Why can't you let them work together?" Bella asked, nipping on her beer again. "It's bad enough that Seth's mother sent him to another school to get him and Jake away from each other."

Charlie raised his left eyebrow. "How come you know about this?"

Bella could feel her cheeks beginning to get warm. She hoped that Charlie wouldn't notice it or at least think it was a result of the beer drinking. "Jake told me about that while you were busy calming down his father outside on the parking lot."

"Terrible man," Charlie stated. "But what Jake has told you is bullshit." He added. "Mrs. Clearwater told me that she agreed to send Seth to Forks High because the school down at the Rez doesn't offer many possibilities. She says her son is smart."

"Every mother says that about her children." Bella responded. She ate the rest of lasagna on her plate and wiped her mouth on a napkin. When she stood up to stack the dirty dishes in the sink, Charlie put his hand on her shoulder.

"I can do that later." He said.

Later? Bella thought. What he truly meant with this was that she could do the dishes in the morning. Silently, she rinsed the plates under the faucet. "Go and watch the Game. But don't curse too loud. I don't want Resha to hear that."

Charlie kissed Bella's hair and walked off to the living room. Beer and a flat screen, what more could a man ask for to be happy. For a moment his thoughts flickered to the curvy woman who had shown up at the station today to pick up her son. She was pretty. Not that he had any time for that sort of thing. He switched on the screen and leaned back in his chair. Soon every thought about Susan Clearwater was pushed aside again.

Bella braided her still damp hair to keep it from getting tangled. She applied some melon scented lotion on her legs and arms before she pulled a long shirt over her head. Then she went to her room and snuggled underneath the thick blankets.

She reached for the phone on her nightstand and dialed Rosalie's number.

"Hi there, my Beautiful." Bella spoke into the phone as soon as Rosalie picked up. "I miss you."

"I miss you too." Rosalie whispered with sadness in her voice. "What are you doing right now?"

"Lying in my bed and missing you." Bella said. "It would be much nicer here when you were here with me."

Rosalie moaned softly. "Yes, that would be nice. I bet your feet are cold like ice though."

"How do you know?"

"You pressed them against my back half the night the last time we slept in one bed."

Bella giggled. "As my girlfriend you've automatically signed up for being my personal heating pad."

"I'll be whatever you want me to be." Rosalie responded. "Have you told Charlie about us yet?"

"I have. He took it pretty well."

"I knew he would. Charlie is cool."

Bella hummed in agreement. "There's one thing though that's awkward. He asked which of us the man is and which the woman is."

"Does he know we are both girls?"

"I think he does. Maybe he's just trying to wrap his head around the new situation. I mean, it's kind of difficult for all of us."

"Are you having doubts?" Rosalie asked. "I love you and you love me. I don't care, which of us the man is as long as I get to be with you."

Bella sighed and snuggled deeper into the blankets. "I wish you were here with me now."

"Me too," Rose mumbled. "Tell me what you are wearing."

"Just some shirt," Bella answered, tugging the blanket underneath her chin. "Why are you asking?"

"I want to picture how you look like right now. What color is the shirt?"

"Blue." Bella said. "It's a dark blue with a stupid three-headed lobster on it. I think Renee bought it for me when we were in Maine."

"I like the color blue on you." Rose stated. "It looks sexy with your skin, especially when you blush."

"I bet you could make me blush." Bella giggled. "If only you could be here with me right now."

Rosalie made another moan-like noise before she spoke up. "I would like to sit on your lap right now and straddle you. I like the way your skin smells like on your throat when I kiss you there."

"Yes," Bella whispered. "That would feel nice." She said, imagining how Rosalie's breasts would press temptingly against her face. Bella felt a wave of wetness beginning to pool between in her legs. "I wish we could really do this, Beautiful."

"We can talk about it." Rosalie said, her voice a bit raspy with arousal she was trying to hold at bay. "I found it very exciting when you told me how you play with yourself."

"You are a bad girl, Rosalie Lillian. It's only bad girls who ask their girlfriends how they masturbate."

"I just like the thought of you stroking yourself."

Bella cleared her throat and pushed the blanket off from her body. She let her hand glide underneath her shirt and fondled first her right, then the left breast.

"What are you doing?" Rosalie asked. "Tell me."

Bella groaned. "I'm touching myself, wishing it was your hand instead of mine."

"Fuck, Bella that's hot. Where's your hand now?"

Bella whimpered, trying to avoid moaning out loudly. "At my breast,"

"Is your nipple hard? They are so fucking beautiful when they get all hard and the tip is turning red."

Another suppressed moan left Bella's mouth when Rosalie told her to rub the sensitive peaks of her breasts between her fingers.

"I want to watch you while you pleasure yourself." Rosalie groaned into the receiver. "Will you let me watch the next time we'll make love?"

Bella's hand moved lower on her upper body, her fingertips circled over the cotton fabric of her underwear. "The next time we'll make love I want to make you come twice. I want your taste to be on my mouth for an entire week."

"I wish I could be kneeling between your legs now, my mouth kissing the soft skin of your thigh."

"Oh Rose," Bella moaned, pushing her hand inside her underwear. She loved the feeling of the smooth skin against her fingertips. First she let the tip of her middle finger circle over her clit for a moment. Then she gathered up a bit of her slick wetness and started rubbing herself at a fast pace. Her hips jerked upwards, as she began to thrust her fingers deep into her core. "Rose...oh fuck, Rose, I'm coming. You're going to make me come so hard."

A soft moan reached Bella's ears while she continued fingering herself hard and fast. She barely managed to press her face against the pillow to suffocate her groans when her climax made her entire body shudder.

For a few moments she couldn't speak or move. The after-waves of her release were making her dizzy and tired.

"Bella? Bella, are you still there, honey?" Rosalie asked when she heard nothing but rapid breathing through the phone for a while.

Taking a deep breath, Bella grabbed the phone she had dropped on the floor and picked it up again. "I'm here. God, that was incredible. It was crazy but incredibly hot."

"That means you enjoyed it, yes? You really need to let me watch you the next time."

"I'll think about it." Bella promised. Maybe I will let you watch me, if I get to watch you first."

Rosalie purred. "I don't play with my pussy."

"Maybe you should start doing it." Bella responded. "Anyway, I really enjoyed our conversation. That was fucking hot."
