Chapter 5

Stitches

BELLA POV

"I'm so dumb," I said it out loud to the room but I was talking to Jacob. The doctor was stitching me up and paused to look at me. Jake had been talking to me trying to keep me distracted. I didn't like needles and blood made me queasy.

"Why do you say that?" He smiled at me with his perfect white teeth, his gorgeous blonde hair was impeccable and his gold eyes were bright and unusual.

"I knew good and well I wasn't going to be able to catch that vase." I shook my head. I felt dumb. There I was trying to ask questions and leave on a good note and then that happened.

"Yeah Bells, you're a klutz alright." Jacob chuckled while I gave him my death glare. Everyone knew how accident prone I was, especially Jacob since we grew up together.

"I think another stitch will do it and you should be good," the Doctor said. He had introduced himself as Dr. Carlisle Masen when he came in.

"Another one?" I didn't think I would need this many stitches but there was a lot of blood lost in Mr. Cullen's office and the towel Jacob had found which was white was now red.

"Yep, it was pretty deep cut," the doctor said. This would make it six stitches. "I'm going to wrap it in a gauze-like cast to help you out and give you some medicine to prevent infection. You should probably take the rest of the day off."

Bella sighed, "I really shouldn't, Doc, I'm on this big—"

"Doctor's orders," he smiled at me while he wrapped my hand in gauze.

"Don't worry, Doc, I'll make sure she gets some rest. I'll let Cap know," Jacob said while looking at me. I gave him another death glare and huffed out a breath.

"Good." He rose up and said, "let me clean up and then I'll write you a script for some meds and maybe a small painkiller?" I nodded but at this point I just wanted to get out of here.

I then looked at Jacob. "Could you contact Mr. Cullen's office? Ask him If I can replace the vase or pay for a floor cleaning or something?" Jacob nodded but it was tense. We hadn't had a chance to talk about it but I definitely saw something odd about Edward Cullen. I was hoping Jacob saw it, and judging by the tense look he was giving me, maybe we were on the same page.

I turned from Jacob to Dr. Masen, who had knocked over a tray. "Doc?" He stayed turned around not looking at me.

"Doc?" Jacob went to walk towards him and suddenly Dr. Masen turned around and hurried out of the room saying, "excuse me."

"Well, that was weird," Jacob chuckled.

I nodded. It was too weird. Honestly, Dr. Masen had been nothing but calm and professional, then I mentioned Cullen's name and he rushed out of here? Did he know Cullen?

I then pulled out my phone and sent the Boss a text letting him know I would be out for the rest of the day. He wasn't going to be happy but now that I had been sitting here I was definitely feeling the pain in my hand. I mean it wasn't like I wasn't going to work when I got home, just going over files.

Then the door opened and a nurse came in smiling. "Here we go!" She gave me some meds and a script. "Dr. Masen had to step out, but he has cleared you to go." I nodded again confused about Dr. Masen's behavior and then took the meds and script from the nurse.

Once we walked out of the hospital, I threw my keys with my good arm to Jacob.

"Guess I'm driving?" Jacob said as he went to the driver's side.

"Don't be a smartass!" I heard him chuckle as I got into the passenger seat

UNKNOWN POV

I locked the door of my office, pulled out my phone and quickly dialed the number. It rang once before the other end picked up. I could barely hear breathing so I knew he was there.

"What happened?"

Silence.

"Did anyone come by today?"

Silence.

"Please answer me."

"Why?" His voice now hardened. I could tell he was pissed over the phone.

"Please"

"Begging gets you nowhere."

I sighed. Why must he be so difficult?

"I've found her," he said in a stiff voice. Unlike last time when he said this he sounded genuine.

"Are you sure?" I really didn't want to go through with this again after what happened last time. I then heard breathing get harder and it seemed he may have been on the verge of losing it.

"It's most definitely her," he growled.

I then heard a noise over the phone and a lot of growling. I hung up because I didn't know at that point if I was talking to him or HIM.

BELLA POV

I threw my keys on the plate by the door. Jacob had dropped me off and would pick me up in the morning since my car was still at the station. I stripped off, walking towards my bedroom. I needed a bath as felt unclean for some reason. After the water got hot, I put the plug in and watched the water fill up. Once it was filled, I turned the water off and carefully stepped in watching my hand. I put it over the side, so it wouldn't get wet. I was almost submerged except for my head.

Thinking of the events from earlier, they kept racing through my mind. I could have sworn I saw his eyes turn black and he had stopped breathing at one point. But that was crazy, right? You can't just stop breathing right? Then I thought of his weird angry behavior after the vase fell. I began to wash my body, scrubbing extra hard on my skin. I understood, I mean it was an accident but the way he reacted was a little bit scary.

I then began to wash my hair. I definitely hope Jacob was able to get some type of contact information so I could do something to either replace the vase or have the floor cleaned. He was also a person of interest so I don't know how that would work. Although, the more I thought about it, he didn't seem like he was responsible for Bree's death. But what about the others?

I really needed to look over the files he gave me. I rose from the bathtub and pulled the plug. I slipped on the silky robe that I had which came down to my thighs. I also slipped on a pair of underwear and made my way to the kitchen. The file that Mr. Cullen gave me was sitting on top of the table. I opened it and took a seat pouring over its contents. It had a list of every flight plan that he had taken in the last year. I looked at the most recent ones that had ranged from the past 3 months. Both commercial and when he used the private jet. He had definitely purchased a ticket with Jasper Whitlock and flew to Chicago five days ago. It seemed Whitlock was supposed to fly back with him but didn't. I roughly closed the folder. Well shit, it seemed more and more that it wasn't Edward. He was even out of town the nights Jessica and Charlotte were killed but what about Gianna? Bella shook her head. He was here it seemed but it had already been noted that all four victims had been killed by the same person.

Well now I was back to square one. I started pacing in my living room before going to the kitchen. I made some pasta and ate some of it before my thoughts drifted back to Edward Cullen. Why couldn't I stop thinking about him? I remembered how good he looked in a suit. How it hugged him. Shit, Bella, stop. I went to her bedroom and wondered why she was breathing so hard?

Then I felt her nipples getting hard. Why? I knew he was an attractive man and I knew I was attracted to him sexually. Why wouldn't I be, he was gorgeous? Why was my body now reacting like this?

I then climbed into my bed, opened my robe and laid there with my boobs out. I wasn't very big, maybe a C cup but not huge. I began to rub my nipples and thought about Edward touching them. What was wrong with me? My hand that wasn't injured slowly made its way down my body and inside my underwear. I gasped as I touched the bundle of nerves. I kept one finger on my clit as the other moved to my vagina. I moved my fingers in and out and imagined they were Edward's. God, what was wrong with me? Was I insane to not see how crazy this was thinking of a man I barely knew? I kept going and going. God, it had been so long since I had been with anyone or used anything. I knew it wouldn't be long. I screamed when I finally came.

After I was spent, I passed out not knowing if it was the painkiller or what I did but it was the best sleep I had in months.

A/N:If you have any questions let me know! I'll try to answer them the best I can. If your confused about something so far also let me know.
