Anniversaries & Adversaries

'Happy Anniversary. Cannot wait until tonight. x'

I read and re-read the text from Bella. Wow, an anniversary. I never,ever thought that we would be together, let alone be celebrating an anniversary of any kind. Okay, so it wasn't a year; only six months since the night that we finally talked our feelings through after beach party, but that was a landmark in both of our eyes. Mainly because we had managed to keep it our secret from everyone, carrying on with life as normal as we could. Now when I hear the words 'freak' come from her mouth I have the satisfaction of knowing that later she would be moaning my name in pleasure, or begging me to fuck her. That was almost like foreplay to us. I quickly texted back, 'Lunchtime study session? Usual place. X'

She replied. 'Sure. I have a study period after'

I smiled to myself, knowing full well that we would have the library to ourselves for the hour following lunch. Seeing as I was granted access to the study rooms at the back, there would not be much studying going on. The only problem that was on our horizon was the Winter Formal Dance. Bella wanted to go on my arm to announce to the world that we were together, that we didn't care what anyone said, but I didn't think that it would be a good idea. I just didn't think that people would understand. Hell, I had nothing to lose here. Although, she had everything to lose, she still seemed hell bent on it. Somehow, I needed to talk her around.

The morning passed slowly as I watched the clock, waiting for lunchtime to come. I needed to be with her, today, of all days.

I was out of class and walking across the yard to the library building when my cell rang. I answered without even looking at the number, expecting it to be Bella.

"Well, hello. Could you not wait a few minutes?"

"Edward? It's me. Tanya. Look, I need to talk to you." I stopped in my tracks immediately. Why was she calling me?

"Oh, sorry Tanya. I'm kind of busy at the moment. Now really isn't a good time. Can we do this later?"

"Look, I get it, you don't want me and I know that. I just needed to talk to someone who will understand and not judge me-"

I cut her off, annoyed. "Tanya, like I said, now really isn't a good time. I'm at school. I will try and call you later on. Can't you talk to Rose? She's your best friend, not me."
She huffed into the phone before speaking in a no nonsense tone that matched mine,

"Forget it, Edward. Forget that I ever meant anything to you at all. You run along and enjoy your life. Don't you worry about me. I will be fine."

With that, she hung up. I was left staring at my phone with a bemused look on my face. What game was she playing? I guessed I would find out later, but for now I had a date to keep with my girlfriend. Wow, that felt good. Girlfriend. Even though no-one else knew about that particular tag, I did, and that's all that was important. I sprinted over to the library building, passing Bella's little gang who seemed rather lost without their leader. They, for once,ignored me. My day was definitely looking up.

I walked through the doors, trying to keep the shit-eating grin off my face. I smiled sweetly, saying hello to Mrs. Roberts the librarian on duty. She returned the smile, indicating that I should just go straight through. I made my way through to the back study room where I knew Bella would be waiting for me. As expected, she was sitting there with her books spread out, pretending to study. When I walked into the room, she looked up. Next thing I knew, her beautiful smile lit up her face and she was on her feet, launching herself at me. I only just managed to catch her, dropping my books to the desk before her legs were wrapped around my waist and I was struggling for breath from her intense kiss. I put her down on the desk and pushed her away from me.

"Geez Bella, you really don't give me a chance, do you?" I laughed at her.

"Why should I? My anniversary present just walked through the door all nicely wrapped up, and I want to up wrap it. Now!"

"Bella, Bella, you honestly do need to learn some control. Mrs Roberts could walk in here at any moment. You know she likes to check on us at least once."

She pouted in response and I did not relent. I took my seat at the desk and pulled out my books, looking through them. Bella sighed and did the same. As predicted, about ten minutes into our 'study session', Mrs Roberts put her head around the door and told me,

"Edward, I have been called away. I know that I can trust you to lock up after yourself?"

I smiled at her, "Sure, I will leave the key in the usual place. Hope everything is okay?"

"Thank you, my little one is ill at school and I need to get him."

With that, she placed the key on the desk and left. I gave her a couple of minutes before I dared turn to face Bella as I knew exactly what was going through her mind. We were alone and have the key to this room. This could be fun.

Bella stood from her chair, and moved to sit on the desk in front of me. Her legs spread in front of me and her hands grasped my face as she stared intently into my eyes. God I loved her, I really did. I had never, ever felt like this before. The feelings that I had for her eclipsed anything that I had felt for Tanya and I knew that I could happily spend the rest of my life with her.

I pulled myself towards her face and those oh, so kissable lips, claiming them. We kissed with passion and a familiar battle began. This was one battle that she would not win, I was determined of that. Breaking off the kiss was hard, but then again, so were other things. I knew that I needed her, and she needed me. I could hear her breath getting shorter and more desperate as she moved around on the desk. I stood motioning for her to stay where she was as I walked over to lock the door and turned the lights off. I wanted no one to disturb us here.

As I walked back over to her, she smiled and slowly licked her lips leaning back on the desk. I grabbed her hips, pulling her forward towards the edge of the desk and kissed her again. She wrapped her legs around my waist. Fuck, if this desk was just the right height for this. I know this, as we had done this exact thing several times before. To be perfectly honest, each time was even better than the last. We could take our time this time, since we at least knew that there was no chance of anyone walking in. Kissing her lips, I moved my way down her neck, and pulled her closer to me. Thankfully, she was wearing a skirt which made for easier access. It's almost as if she knew what would happen. But then again, of course she did. Our study sessions always ended up with some form of make-out session, or another.

Pulling her to the edge of the desk, I moaned as she instinctively palmed my cock through my jeans. I was already turned on, but her touch still managed to send shockwaves over my body. Even now, after six months, she still had the same effect on me as she did that first night on La Push beach. She deftly unbuttoned my jeans, freeing me from their confines, and I pulled her blouse over her head, discarding it on the floor next to me. I pushed her backwards onto the desk, admiring her. I could not wait any longer and I pushed my way in-between her legs. She moaned at the contact. I found myself covering her mouth with my hand. She was so vocal and normally I wouldn't mind, but we needed to be extra careful. Yes, the door might be locked but people might still hear. She laid there, arching her back as I thrust into her repeatedly. It was difficult for me not to be vocal too. She affected me so much. I reached down under her arms and pulled her up and pressed my mouth to hers, hoping that that way would keep us both quiet. She started to clench around me and this in turn took me over the edge with her. Once we were done, we breathlessly fell back onto the desk. Suddenly the door handle started rattling. Shit! We exchanged panicked looks and I pressed my fingers to her lips. She nodded. I heard voices on the other side of the door.

"Sorry, I don't know what's happening. The diary shows the room as being booked out. It shouldn't be locked up and the key is missing. I don't know what Mrs Roberts has done with it and she has left early for the day. Sorry, but I really don't have time for this. I have to get back to the office."

I recognized the voice as being Mrs. Price who worked in the school office. So at least she wouldn't be waiting around. We heard their footsteps retreat away from us, and I took some relief in the fact that there will be no one waiting around. When we were sure the coast was clear, we hurriedly got dressed and grabbed our books and left the library,but not before depositing the room key back in Mrs. Roberts desk drawer.

Today was our anniversary, and I had a special night planned, which of course, she knew nothing about. I planned to be spontaneous and romantic. I hoped I could pull this off, not having done anything like it.

I had told Bella to be ready at seven thirty. She knew that we were going out for dinner, but had no idea where. I picked her up around the corner from her house. Words could not describe how stunning she looked as she slipped into the passenger seat. I leaned across and placed a gentle kiss on her cheek.

"So where are we going?" She looked at me,questioningly.

I smiled back at her, "Dinner in Port Angeles."

A concerned look crossed her face, and I knew what she was thinking, so I assured her.

"Don't worry, its very private. No one will happen to wander in. I promise."

She looked relieved. I had just as much to lose as she did here. I especially wanted to be out with her tonight, seeing as we wouldn't be able to go to the winter formal together. To be honest, I didn't really want to go anyway.

Dinner was amazing. We only had eyes for each other and I wished that every day could be like this. The look on her face told me that she felt the same way that as I did. I loved her and I never expected it would happen.

I dropped her at home and before she got out of the car we had a kiss which was soft and gentle and passionate. She pulled away, looking at me before she said,

"I love you, Edward Cullen. You make me so happy,I cannot even begin to tell you. I feel alive when I am with you. No one has ever made me feel like this, and I don't ever want to lose this feeling. Happy anniversary."

She kissed me again, and then got out of the car,leaving me breathless. I drove home, dazed...and happy. I couldn't remember the last time I felt like this. I had the girl of my dreams and we were in love.

There was the winter formal coming up at school, and we had made plans that once that was out of the way we planned to tell people. Starting with our families. I was sure that Mom would be thrilled and fuss around Bella lots and berate me for not telling her. She had always liked Bella and loved dropping hints about us maybe being more than friends.

If only she knew the truth. If only I had realized that this was merely the calm before the impending storm.
