I grin, smug and proud holding Bella against my chest in a laying position on the couch. The TV not even catching my attention one minute. I just can't stop smiling, or think about what just happened.

It may have not been as good as sex. Because nothing can compare to being as connected to Bella's as possible, but it was close enough. The way she touched me. It was better then when I touched my self. Far better.

The way she moaned my name. I was embarrassed by the lack of experience I have, not knowing how to exactly to make her feel pleasure. A couple of flexes of my fingers and I seemed to find a rhythm and spot that made her writhe underneath me.

Now, were both sedated and for-fill, lets not forget more importantly, clothed. We are laying her on the couch, relaxing in each other embrace. But relaxation can only last so long.

The flash of headlights filling the room from the window has Bella jumping out of my arms and into a sitting position. I follow along, sitting up straight in my chair and pretending to watch the TV. Thought, I dont stop contact with Bella, my arm finds its way around the back of her shoulders, pulling her into my side securely as the door open.

"Bells, you still up?" Charlie questions, his voice travelling from the front door.

"Uh, yeah..."Bella trails off her eyes flickering up to mine.

She looks stuck between telling Charlie I'm here or letting him walk in and see me here anyway.

"Have you eaten already?"He asks her, the sound of clattering can be heard from the doorway.

"Yeah, I have some left over lasagne to heat up for you if you want?" Bella replies.

The sound of heavy footsteps coming closer isn't the only pair I hear. The squeak of wheels and another pair of feet follow along.

"That sounds great Bells, got enough for two more?"He jokes, then they all come into view.

Billy Black, in his prime, not looking any different then from when I saw his ancestors decades ago. Long, black hair, lose and up to his shoulders, a straw hat and wise eyes. His son, Jacob next to him, his jaw tight as he looks at me. He doesn't look very pleased to see me here, but not as much as I feel about his presence.

Fucking, Jacob.

Billy's eyes are guarded and his body visibly stiffens as he realises who I am, then confusion takes over. He is left looking baffled at me, his eyes raking over my face, his eyebrows narrowing with each second passing.

It seems he can definitely tell something is not quite as it should be.

"You didn't tell me Edward was coming over tonight." Charlie said slowly, eyes burning into his daughters. He didn't look too pleased that I was here alone with his daughter without his permission.

Oh if you only know what we did on your couch Chief Swan.

"You didn't tell me you would be bringing guests either." Bella bravely shot back.

I could see how there eyes narrowed toward each other neither were going to cave in. Both of them are too stubborn. Iv'e had to learn this the hard way. I decided to break the ice and see how to handle this difficult situation I seem to be stuck in. Billy is still watching me, Jacob is glaring at me and well, Bella and Charlie are in a stare off.

"I'm sorry Charlie, it's my fault, I didn't intend on coming over, but I thought it would be good to teach Bella some of the stuff she missed out the past week, as we share most classes together."I lie easily, taking on the polite approach.

Charlie shifts, but his curious stance doesn't falter.

"Where are the textbooks then and work?" He questions very observantly if I may add.

"We finished up about ten minutes before you walk in, Bella was getting a headache so I suggested watching some TV."I shrug.

Shit. He doesn't seem to be buying it. time to play the guilty card Cullen.

"I can leave if I'm in the way-"

"No. Why don't you stay for dinner?Watch the game with us." Billy say's out of the blue. Me and Charlie both look at him with confusion, but I see the determination behind his brown eyes as she looks at me.

I feel Bella's hand reach out to hold mine. stoking, rubbing and sending calming sparks throughout my body.

"If that's alright with you Charlie?" I say and of course he stalls for a second, looking at his daughter then nodding his head.

"Sure. Stay." He says, dismissively.

I sat down, taking a deep breath and putting my folded hands into my lap. Bella's father opposite me, with Billy next to him -in his wheelchair- and Jacob also next to him, just a spare seat separating us where Bella would soon sit down.

"Here you go guys." Bella smiled, towards them. She placed a plate in front of each, setting down a beer to go along with it, but just water for Jacob

I smirk. He's still just a kid. Just a pup.

"Don't forget Edward Bella, I'm sure he's hungry." Billy says, his eyes burning into mine with a double meaning.

I look back blankly, not moving. Is he really teasing me right now? I want to laugh. This should be fun.

"I would love some, if you don't mind babe."I wink at her, glad to see that my words pissed of Jacob.

"Sure."She nods, throwing a quick worried glance in Charlie's direction.

She grabs me a plate of warmed up lasagne and I watch the steam radiate off it, wafting toward same. It does smell very appetizing, I could defiantly finish this all of with out a problem. My stomach seems to rumble in agreement.

She takes a seat beside me. I reach for her hand under the table, giving it a quick reassuring stroke before retracting.

Billy's eyes burn into mine from across the table, watching my every move as I pick up my knife and fork.I always seem to get a bit anxious every time I'm trying something new. But Bella made this, and some how the thought makes me even more anxious. It feels more heartfelt, more personal, and if I dislike it, it worries me that she may get angry.I doubt I will, it smells amazing.

I cut a bit off, popping it straight into my mouth and instantly feeling the burn of the hot food.I really should learnt to let food cool down. I wince a little but chew, trying to get over the tingling sensation on my tongue from the burn .The flavours pour into my mouth. I can't even put a name t the flavours I'm tasting. It's just really good.

I unexpectedly hum, and shove another fork full into my mouth. I make sure to blow lightly on it and let it cool a little. Amazing.

Billy is shocked, eyes wide,but he is trying to conceal it. You can read it on his face. Its quite priceless really, how in shock he is right now. I almost want to record it or take a picture just so I can show my family this glorious moment.

That's right, I'm not a monster anymore...not anymore.
