You Don’t Know Anything
Chapter Thirteen
EPOV
In front of me was the last person I had expected to see.
“Hello, Edward. It’s been a long time…”
A pair of blue eyes stared at me as I stood there Dumbstruck. It all made sense now…
My mother’s attempts to keep me home…
My father’s advice to stay in bed…
It all made fucking sense now!
I shifted my eyes a bit and met the smirk of Jasmine. I narrowed my eyes at him, what they fuck was he smirking about?!
“It has been a long time, hasn’t it, doll?” Jasmine quipped as he pecked Vicky on the lips.
Huh?! Did he just call her ‘Doll’?
“A long time, indeed… Victoria, what are you doing here?” I asked her in a guarded voice.
I shifted my eyes between the members of my family and they all had uneasy looks in their eyes. Except for Alice, who was smiling brightly at me as if nothing was wrong…
“I was invited here, Edward.” Vicky answered in a calm voice with a smile.
Huh?!
Who did this?!
The silence after her words was deafening.
I narrowed my eyes at my family members again. Who the fuck had the nerve to invite my ex to my girlfriend’s house?! I knew the look on my face was of a murderer. I was fuming and I was sure they could see it. I still didn’t get the chance to tell Bella about my ex and she didn’t have to know about it like this! I know she knew about Victoria… but it was all gossip, I’m sure; and only bits and pieces!
Bella needed to know that Victoria was not a threat! Bella needed to know that she is still my girlfriend; and Victoria’s arrival hasn’t changed a thing!
What the fuck was she doing here anyway? And why is Blonde-y kissing her?!
My thoughts were so clouded. Am I missing something here? Did Jasmine have anything to do with this? Was this really a stunt? Because if it was…
I looked at the people there and made eye contact with each one of them. I needed an answer to the one question I had in my head right now.
“Who did this?” I said in a low dangerous voice.
“It was me.” the voice that spoke belonged to the last person I ever expected to speak…
It was Bella! My Bella!
I looked to my side and saw my angel standing beside me with a look of dread on her face.
I looked at her baffled by this realization.
How could she be the one to invite my ex? Did this have anything to do with that James fellow?
There is something missing here…
"Would you excuse us, guys? We'll just take a minute. Come with me, love…" I grabbed her arm and headed to the kitchen.
"What do you mean you invited my ex? How did you know her to begin with? Did Alice or Jasper tell you about her? Because if they did… you really need to know that-" she cut me off placing a hand on my mouth.
Hmm… I liked it better when she used her mouth… I guess I'm damaged now.
"Edward, you need to listen to me. I need you to listen and not interrupt, can you do that?" she asked me with a worried look which instantly got me anxious.
Why the seriousness?
Was she breaking up with me?
I must have showed too much anxiety because her next lines were, "Don't worry. It's nothing bad." She said with a smile which got me relaxed right away.
I nodded for her to carry on.
"Edward. James asked me to invite Victoria becau-" I interrupted her not wanting her to continue. This was enough information for me.
I knew it this guy was trouble.
Maybe I need to rephrase the 'BBB Plan'…
Instead of 'Bug Bella's Bedroom' Plan, it needs to be 'Beat Bella's Boy' Plan…
Or maybe 'Beat him with a bat
No, not enough…
'Beat the fuck…
Yeah… that's it. I'm gonna beat the fuck out of him.
Or you know what, I'm feeling a little generous today and he just might have all of those.
"I knew it! I knew this guy was up to no good. Bella, I know I've never talked to you about Victoria or what had happened with her. But, please, hear me out. NO…" I stopped her as she tried to interrupt me again.
"Just hear me out first. Victoria was my girlfriend for a couple of years. Well, we were more of friends rather than a boyfriend and a girlfriend. I had known her since we had moved here and we were kind of thrown into this thing. We never got beyond kissing and we were never intimate together. I wanted to take our relationship further, but she did the reasonable thing for herself at the time; she told me that she wanted to explore ‘other options’. I was devastated at the time. I went through hell and back; the feel of rejection was so bad that I started sleeping around just to prove that I was good enough…" I was panicking.
I didn't want to lose Bella. She was looking at me expectantly waiting for me to say more. I took another breath, "As I said and as I'm sure you have heard about my ‘rebellious stage’. I didn't want to commit to anybody. I can honestly say that it was the rejection of a friend that had really affected me.
"I didn't even care who the girl was; as long as I had her, it didn't matter to me. It was just the… uh… you know… I have already told you that I will be only yours and as I said… it will never happen again as long as you'll take me. But, Bella, I really don't feel anything for Vicky. I haven't in the past, not like that anyway… and I don't think I'll ever think of her in that way.
"So, please, I don't know what the guys or what your Jasmine had told you…" my ranting was cut off this time with Bella's lips crashing to mine.
Uhhh… just what I needed…
My dose of heaven… hmmm
She pulled back a bit leaving me panting, “Now, will you listen to what I have to say?” she asked me with a smile.
I nodded bracing myself for what was about to come.
“I know about Victoria. As you said I heard some stories here and there, but what you just said made more sense. I’m not saying that I fully accept or totally forgive what you have done to those girls…” she said with a sad voice.
I felt my face blanch… and I wanted to die.
Shit! I knew this was gonna bite me in the ass in the end. I just didn’t know it was gonna bite me in the ass this soon!
She smiled and cupped my face with both her hands. She stared me in the eye and continued, “But…” she stopped and I couldn’t help the sigh of relief that left me.
I smiled, “There is a ‘But’…” I said reluctantly.
She smiled wider, “Yes, there is a ‘but’ and you’d better hear me out till the end this time and not cut me off again…” she said sweetly and I nodded quickly. Fuck! I’ll take whatever she was giving me.
“Okay. As I said before, James was the one who asked me to invite Victoria for dinner because she’s his girlfriend…” she said with a sly smile and stopped to look at the expression of total bewilderment that I’m sure has appeared on my face.
Huh? I’m sorry, what was that?
“Yes, you heard me correctly. When James drove me here, I dropped him off at the airport. Apparently, they had met on the plane to Phoenix… small world, huh? Anyway… they have been together since that time… which means as long as we have been together. And they are totally happy. I have never seen James this happy before. To be honest, I was a little afraid of what your reaction was gonna be like, but not any more. But since you have assured me just now that you are not really thinking about Victoria any more…” she said in a quizzical tone cocking her eyebrow at me and I shook my head feverishly.
She continued, “I’m really relieved. Not only for myself, but also for James; He’s really happy that he’s with her. And I have spoken to her just before you came; she seems to be a really sweet person. And I think that since you aren’t into her or she is not into you in any um… intimate way. I’d say there is no cause for tension. So, please just try and let us enjoy this dinner. I really hate that the two most important guys for me are already fighting. So, if you want your redemption for what you have done, you need to do a few things for me…” she trailed off and crossed her arms in front of her chest.
Anything!
Hell, I’ll do anything to have a clean slate.
“Anything, love. Just name it.” I said quickly.
“Good. I want you to be friends with James. He’s a really important friend to me and he’s helped me a lot.” She said in a calm tone.
But… he’s…
I pinched the bridge of my nose. This is really going to be difficult.
“Love, he’s been acting like an asshole since the moment my eyes landed on him, or rather his fist landed on my – now - black eye! Plus, he’s acting all nice and sweet to you when he already has a girlfriend! Isn’t he supposed to be busy with her rather than hitting on my girlfriend. And the way he’s acting towards JC is not helping his case. I just…” I said in exasperation.
“Edward! Don’t be silly. He’s my friend! Nothing more. James and I have tried dating and it was disastrous. I already have a boyfriend and I like him a lot.” She said seductively, trying to shake my latest opinion of her friend.
And she was succeeding with flying colours.
“So you like that boyfriend of yours, do you?” I said as I wrapped her in my arms.
“Very much so. No one ever managed to make me feel the way he makes me feel… ever” she whispered as she kissed my pulse point right below my ear.
“Hmm… what about him and JC?” I asked her trying to stay coherent.
She raised her head and locked gaze with me, “Edward, we’ve talked about this. James will always be part of JC’s life and that won’t change… but if you want to feel better, I can tell you this… JC loves you more than he loves James. He laughs more with you and he doesn’t cry with you. How about that?” she said with a wink and pecked my lips.
I’ll let her have that… for now.
So, I grabbed Bella's arm and led her to the dinning room where a nice table had been set with all kinds of mouth-watering food.
As I approached the table, I noticed that all the chatter died and all eyes were on Bella and I.
I noticed the smug smile that spread over James' face and knew that he was expecting me to fight with Bella. I gave him an evil grin which wiped out his smile, "Hey guys, sorry it took me too long to come back. I guess the hit affected me more than I had expected and I had to sleep it off. Anyway…"
I pulled out a chair for Bella making sure to sit beside her, leaving the head of the tables for my mom and dad for when they come.
"I'm sorry, Victoria, for the way I acted. I guess your presence just took me by surprise. I really missed having you here. So, welcome back." I said with a smile earning a glare from Jasmine.
I guess that was something 'Punch-head' hadn’t expected.
Ha!
I felt Bella gently squeezing my knee. I looked at her and saw her smiling brightly. I leaned in and kissed her softly on the lips.
"Thanks, Edward. Umm… it's nice to be back. And I'm happy that you have found someone. I've heard about Bella from James and from what I have seen for myself till now… she's looks and sounds like a wonderful person." She said giving Bella a wink.
I saw my angel blushing and I couldn't help but have a big smug smile on my face.
"See, sweetheart. I told you that she's a great person. It's just that, she has a really bad luck when it comes to choosing boyfriends…" he quipped.
Fucker!
Well, on that subject… I think I can enlighten him.
"Oh, don't worry. That has been taken care of. Now that I'm her boyfriend and by her side; I will protect her. And I won't allow anyone to take advantage of her, like when she was with you."
Take that, 'Punch-head'.
I felt a hard nudge to my ribs. I looked beside me and saw Bella glaring at me. I gave her an innocent look and a small smile.
"What, love? You know I'll take care of you, don't you?" I asked her sweetly faking ignorance of what my 'not so innocent' comment had actually hinted.
She opened her mouth to speak just as we heard the door bell ringing.
As much of cliché it was, but I was literally 'saved by the bell'!
Bella started to move and I put my hand on her arm holding her in place.
"Don't move." I told her with a smile.
I mean, come on, she was sitting the furthest from the door and she looked really tired.
I glared at Emmett, who was the nearest to the door, "Em, why don't you move your butt and open the door…" I seethed at him.
"AW! Man… I don't want to get up. They will take my place and…" he whined and I scowled at him.
I swear my brother had no sense of courtesy what-so-ever! I wanted to get up and knock some sense into his thick skull.
Rose, though, seemed to read my mind. Because the next thing she did was slap the back of his head earning giggles from the girls around the table.
"OWWW! Rosie… that hurt, baby" my brother whined again rubbing the back of his head.
"Edward, it's okay. I'll open the door…" Bella said as she started to move again.
I glared at her and tightened my grip on her arm, "I said… Don't move."
I turned my head to scowl at my air-head of a brother again.
"Fine. I'll open the door…" he huffed.
"MOM, DAD. DOOR IS OPENED!" my stupid big brother boomed causing the whole lot of us to cover our ears.
Bella sprung to her feet and ran upstairs to check on the sleeping baby.
"Damn it, Em! I swear if JC is up. I'll make you hold him till we are all done with our dinners" I snapped at him as I made my way upstairs.
"Guys, you go ahead and start dinner. I'll check on Bella and be right back."
I made my way upstairs to Bella's dim-lit room and got in quietly. I saw Bella holding the whimpering JC in her arms; rocking him and trying to sooth him.
"It's okay, honey. It's just uncle Em. Everything is okay… there, there…" she cooed at him.
I came to stand by her side and stroked his hair.
"Is he okay?" I whispered.
"Yeah. Just startled with Em's yelling and all…" she whispered back as she continued to rock him.
"I think I better lie down with him just a bit. Maybe he'll go to sleep faster…" she spoke softly as she made her way to her bed.
She set JC on his stomach and she lounged beside him patting his back tenderly.
"Edward, why don't you go downstairs? I'm sure you're hungry… I'll be down in a minute. He's starting to drift off now." She said with a smile.
"We'll go down together. I'll just sit here till you're done."
I sat on the edge of the bed as I heard the chatter and dishes clanking from downstairs. My stomach grumbled noisily and I heard Bella giggling softly.
"Edward. Come on! You are hungry… I'll be down there in a minute! Don't be stubborn." She chastised.
I smiled; was my girl trying to get rid of me…
"Are you trying to get rid of me?" I asked her impishly.
"No." she said too quickly.
"What is it? Are you worried of what they'll think we're doing up here?" I asked her as I moved from my place in the bed to stand beside her.
"No! It's just. I heard your stomach… and… uh… Edward… what are you… uh… doing?" she asked, out of breath.
I was lounged behind her holding her to my front. I started placing feather-light kisses on the back of her neck and shoulder as I rubbed her stomach and sides.
"Nothing, love. I'm just making sure that their thoughts won't go to waste. Don't mind me… you just make sure JC is asleep… kay?" I said between kisses.
"JC… uh… Ed… uh… asleep… dinner…" she moaned her words incoherently.
I loved the effect that I had over her; I made sure to pull her to me so that we were a little further away from the now sleeping JC. I guided her to lean against me not stopping my kisses that were now trailing to her jaw line aiming for my ultimate target. Her lips.
I kissed her softly at first earning a soft sigh. I opened my mouth and licked her lips with my tongue wanting to taste her and I was granted access to her heaven.
My hands made their way up her sides to the undersides of her breasts; I touched them softly only to have her breath hitch. She reached her hand to my head entangling her fingers into my hair to pull me closer to her.
Hmmm… she was loving it… let's see what she was going to do if I did this…
I reached both my hands and cupped both her mounds. God, they were perfect! They were bigger than to fit in my hands. I started massaging them; alternating between hard and soft squeezing. Big… as I said… Perfect!
She moaned and pushed her tongue to my mouth exploring my taste; her breathing now coming out as pants.
Edward, Jr. was having the thrill of his life… I was fully hard and my position behind her was granting me just the friction I needed. Just when I was thinking that; I felt her grind her hips against me earning a moan from me.
I felt her lips curve into a smile against mine. She wanted to play dirty… fine!
I moved one of my hands and moved it inside her shirt which now had a few buttons gotten loose with my ministrations; and I grazed her nipple with my fingers feeling it harden from my touch.
"Edward…" she moaned my name as I started massaging her breast with my hand.
I felt her other hand reach behind her and between us; she started massaging me through my pants and I thought I was about to shoot my load right then and there.
Shit!
I was painfully hard now. All thought of dinner or people eating downstairs were now long gone. All I had in my mind was the minx who was about to make me cream in my pants any second now.
I was panting hard right now.
"Bella…" I moaned as squeezed both her breasts under her bra harshly.
I was so close…
I felt Bella arch into my hands causing her luscious bottom to grind more into me. She moaned a bit louder and it went directly to my hard-on; causing it to twitch.
She moved the hand that was massaging me and slid it into my boxer and started stroking me. She moved her mouth from mine and whispered into my ear as she grazed the head of my cock with her nails softly.
"Mmmm… Candy… yumm…" she whisper-moaned into my ear biting it gently.
That was my undoing.
I shivered and groaned as I shot my load into my boxer, with her still stroking me. My release was so powerful that it took me a couple of minutes to climb down from my high and regain my normal breathing.
Shit! I could get used to that…
This was the second time that she had done this to me shortly after my sleep.
I looked at her to see her smiling at me. I smiled impishly at her and trailed my hand down her torso.
"That was amazing, love. How about I reciprocate?" I asked her playfully as I kissed her mouth softly.
She stopped my hand and leaned back enough to look at me and talk.
"As much as I'd love for you to do that… don't forget that we have guests downstairs and dinner on the table. I just thought after all the cock-blocked excitement that you had today, thanks to your brother… and all the bad luck that you had with James. I thought that I'd give you a little treat."
She kissed me and removed herself slowly from bed not to wake JC.
"Here is a small towel. I think you'd better clean up before we go to dinner… I'll just change my shirt and tidy my hair a bit."
She pushed me to her bathroom. I washed up quickly and took off my boxer. I decided on going commando so that I don’t wear the dirty underwear again. I cleaned up quickly and left my boxer in the corner of her tub, where I thought it was the best place not to be detected and placed the towel on it.
I looked at myself in the mirror and saw my bruised flushed face. I splashed some cold water and dried off.
I got out of the bathroom and saw that Bella was placing JC in his basinet.
I came beside her and pecked her on the lips.
"Let's go downstairs before they eat all the delicious cooking you made. And I won't forget that I owe you, love…" I whispered the last part to her as I pulled her to the door of the room.
She reached up to my ear and whispered, "Well, yes. You owe me…" then she placed her hand on my crotch.
"Like that 'Candy' that you didn't let me get at the end…" she purred into my ear.
I was hard instantly.
Again!
I glared at her and emitted a low growl only to have her giggle and sprint before me downstairs.
I swear she was going to be the death of me.
I took a few calming breaths willing my 'new born' hard-on to go away.
Once I felt calmer I went downstairs and took the chair beside Bella.
"Eddie! Where have you been? A few more minutes and the food would have gotten cold…" Emmett said with a mouth full of food.
Eww!
'See-food' much?
"Honey, don't talk with your mouth full." Mom chastised him.
All the people around the table sat and ate their food while they chatted away. I saw that my angel was plating some of my favourite items to my dish. I kissed her temple as she poured my soda into the glass.
I glanced at James, who was facing me; and saw that he was eyeing me warily. Then I saw him shift his gaze to Bella and give her a worried look.
Huh? What’s the matter with him?!
Then it came to me… I remembered that we have been upstairs a good fifteen minutes.
Oh, he was suspecting 'foul play', wasn't he?
Well, now, we can't have that…
He needs to know that it was exactly what's to be expected from a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship.
So, let's erase the doubt, shall we?
Once and for all…
I smiled mischievously and leaned towards my Bella again. I kissed the side of her mouth then whispered in her ear keeping my eyes on James.
"Your 'friend' looks like he suspects us… do you think we should give him another show so that we can put his mind at ease that it's exactly what he's suspecting?"
She froze and her face turned into a tomato in an instant. She elbowed me and glanced at her friend. He was now glaring at the both of us with a red face; but throwing reproachful looks towards my Bella!
I saw Vicky look at him asking him if he was alright; I saw him mumble something and go back to eating his meal still glaring at me.
I saw Bella, from the corner of my eye, take a big bite and shake her head minutely at him.
He narrowed his eyes at her for a second as if he was waiting for confirmation for something. And I was surprised when she shook her head again.
He smiled smugly at me, causing me to tense and glare, again, at him.
He was definitely trying to get a confirmation from her that nothing had happened. Why would he be angry of our relationship?
What the hell does our relationship have anything to do with him?
I didn’t like it one bit.
I needed answers right away.
“Love, why did James smile when you assured him that nothing had happened upstairs?” I asked her in a low tensed tone.
“How did you…?” she wanted to asked, but I scowled at her shutting her up.
“Answer the question, please. Why should James be concerned of our relationship?” I asked her a bit of a harsh whisper as I rubbed her thigh with my hand.
“Um… I… uh…” she stammered and I couldn’t help but tense more.
What the fuck wasn’t she telling me? I thought we had sorted everything out!
“Edward… it’s not what you think… I’ll tell you later about it. But rest assured. It has nothing to do with James or the male gender at that. It’s just something that I’ll tell you about later… that’s all.”
I relaxed a bit and cocked my eyebrow at her wondering what she wanted to tell me.
“Are you sure about that?” I asked her for final confirmation.
She smiled a bit and whispered in my ear, “I’m a hundred percent sure that you are the only man who makes me feel happy. You are the only man whom I’d want to have his hands on me… or have my hands on him for all it matters. Does this make you feel better?”
Her voice caused me to shudder slightly and relax a great deal.
“Just as long as that’s true, love…” I smiled waiting for her last confirmation.
She took a bite of her food, when I felt her hand reach up to my crotch causing me to harden. She massaged me slowly through my jeans causing me to give out a low growl.
She looked around for a minute making sure that no one was paying us attention, still massaging me. It was getting harder to breathe evenly.
I took a quick sip of my drink trying to get hold of whatever left of self control in me… I had no idea what was keeping me from grabbing her, throwing her on the table and having my way with her right now.
Maybe it’s the four couples sitting around you, including your mom and dad.
Well, yeah that could work…
She leaned into me and whispered in my ear, “Well, Edward. It is true…”
She licked my earlobe and continued, “And I’m betting the ‘Candy’ that you still owe me, that one day you’ll have no doubt that I’m telling the truth. Just heads up, though… I always claim the dues people owe me…” she purred in a seductive voice causing me to shiver.
I almost blew my load for the second time that evening.
Oh, Love. I’ll give you all the ‘Candy’ that you want…
I saw Bella lean back into her seat and smirk at me.
The minx! She knew exactly how much she affected me and she used it well!
I was happy for the moment.
I straightened my back and shot James, who was eyeing me thoughtfully, a smug look.
Take that, fucker.
I plastered a wide goofy grin on my face and ate away; trying to ignore, at best, the ‘problem’ that was ‘sticking’ with its stupid attitude.
Down boy! You’ll have your way later.
I moaned from the taste as I ate, she made Lasagne and Sweet-Sour dishes… and they both were mouth-watering.
"Edward, honey. You need to chew, or you'll choke!" mom laughed as she drank some water.
"Bu' Um Ungry…" I said like a complete retard.
"What was that? And chew first before you speak!" she asked again.
"I said… I'm hungry… I haven't had anything today since school. I'm gonna stick with the ‘I’m a growing boy’ phrase; I need my food. And this is delicious…" I finished my sentence only to stuff another big bite into my mouth.
I moaned again as my mom kept making small talk with me.
"You know… it's a small world, honey. Remember when I told you about Vicky… that she had met someone. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that he's none other than Bella's boyfriend from Phoen-" she stopped abruptly as I chocked on my bite and started coughing loudly.
Boyfriend!
Bella's boyfriend…
Bella patted me on the back and gave me her glass of water. I took a big gulp of water and a few breaths.
"Mom, he's not Bella's boyfriend. I'm Bella's boyfriend. He was her friend and nothing more." I said in a clipped tone as politely as I could.
I heard James chuckling from his place in front of me and I glared at him.
"Oh, well. I just meant that they were acquainted with each other. I'm sure you'll all be great friends. He seems like a great boy. Bella had told me how much he had helped her with JC." She said with a smile.
What?!
When did Bella tell my mom about him?
"Well, yeah. But, when did Bella tell you about James?" I asked her confused.
"When you were sleeping today, she called me to make sure you invited us to dinner and to tell me that James and Vicky were to be here too. She talked to me a couple of minutes about what a great help he was, that's all" she said as she gave a big smile to James, who was now… batting his eyelashes at her.
What the fuck!?
I narrowed my eyes at him as he smiled smugly at me.
Oh, yeah… we'll see about that smile…
"Yeah, he was a great help. But right now, Bella and JC have me. I mean… I've just helped Bella put JC to bed, haven't I, love?" I asked her sweetly, daring her with my eyes to deny what I had just said.
She blushed deep red and smiled not daring to look a James who had the smile wiped off his face.
Ha! Take that, Fuckhead!
I got my smug smile back in place and resumed my face-stuffing.
By the time I had finished my second plate; mom and dad had excused themselves and went home. I had already skipped the salad not wanting to waste any space and helped myself to a third serving.
I glanced around and saw that all the couple were engaged in loud conversations about shopping, school and football teams. I looked up at James and saw that he had a smug smile on his face. I saw him putting a bite in his mouth chewing slowly. I looked beside him and saw Victoria eating her meal slowly… with a flushed face.
Was he?
Could he?
He wouldn't dare…
I looked at him again and noticed that his other hand was not on the table!
Fucker!
Oh, yeah?
I’m already ‘up’ for a play, fuckface!
I looked around to make sure that everyone else was distracted and I lowered my hand from the table and trailed it up Bella's leg; first, I started to rub her thigh, causing her breath to hitch.
I chuckled quietly.
She knew where this is going.
"Edward! What the hell are you doing?!" she whispered sharply and tried to remove my hand.
"Just enjoy it, love. No one is noticing…" I whispered back, keeping my eyes on James. Who was now glaring at us.
I looked at Bella and saw her looking at James. She must have realized what was happening. Because the next thing she did was blush and lower her head again.
"Edward, stop it!" she reprimanded me as I started to rub her over her jeans.
I only chuckled as I put more pressure into my work. She started panting; she looked up and locked gaze with Vicky who had the same flushed look on her face.
They looked at each other for a minute and then grinned mischievously. I saw Victoria lean and whisper something to James just as Bella leaned closer to me.
"Edward, if you don't remove your hand this instance. I'll make sure to start claiming my 'Candy' right here in front of everyone…" she purred into my ear.
SHIT!
FUCK!
That purr went directly to my southern region causing me to twitch in my confines.
Just great!
My breath hitched and I stopped eating when I felt Bella's hand trail up my leg aiming for my crotch.
Again!
It's the 'Dinner Scene' all over again.
I groaned lowly, thanking heavens that mom and dad had went home.
I looked at James and saw that he was facing the same predicament.
And for once I felt for him.
“Bella… just…” I stammered in a low voice.
“Why is it okay for you to do it to me and not the opposite?” she asked me increasing her pace and pressure.
“Fuck!” I whispered.
I was so close but then…
Click, click…
I heard someone cocking a shotgun behind us.
Everyone stopped talking and I froze.
“Bells, I hope I’m not late enough to miss this delicious dinner I’d just heard about” the gruff voice of the Chief of Cock-blocking fucking squad came from behind me.
Bella withdrew her hand slowly and turned to face her father.
The blood drained from my face and my ‘problem’ was dissolved.
James looked so terrified that I almost sympathized with him.
Almost… being the operative word.
“Dad… what are you doing here? I thought you were going to um… stay late at work?” she asked him with a strained tone.
“Well, that was the plan… I mean that we’ve found a new clue that we think might give us a new lead towards the murderer. And the right people are working on it…” The Chief said as he sat down beside us placing the shot gun on the table in front of him and giving me a tight smile.
I gulped loudly.
“Don’t worry, boy. The safety lock is on…” he smirked at me and I smiled at him returning to my neglected plate.
Oh, God. I was hoping that he’d be gone for the night so that Bella would sleep at our house.
Why can’t I just have this simple wish!
I want him gone for the night… is this a lot?!
Bella stood up, got him a new plate and started placing food in it.
“That looks delicious, Bells” he stated as she handed him the plate.
“Anyway… that’s not why I’m here now… I got a call that needed my attention” he stated.
Yeah, I just bet you have something that needed your attention.
I quickly took another bite and chewed slowly not daring to make eye contact with him.
Maybe he has to graduate a whole knew class of Cock-blocking fuckers.
“I hope it’s nothing bad, dad?” Bella asked him worriedly.
Or maybe he just plans on ruining my life by simply making Bella worry!
I glared at him as I rubbed circles on Bella’s knee trying to reassure her.
“Oh, no… it’s nothing like that, Bells. At least… I hope it won’t get to that…” he answered her gravely as he sighed.
Bella now was as pale as a sheet. And I could see the other girls getting nervous and the boys trying to calm them.
Way to relieve the tension, Chief of Grim!
Leave it to the Chief of Police to make you feel all secure and safe!
Secure and Safe my Ass…
I wish you’d just go away!
“It’s just that I need to leave Forks for a few days to take care of a few things before… um… just… don’t worry about it, kiddo.” he smiled at his daughter.
Huh?
Did I hear him correctly?
He said he was leaving Forks for a few days, right?
Fuck… I was getting some wishes granted.
Quick…
I want Bella and I to be in our room with Bella sprawled naked on the bed beckoning me to come to her so she can have her way with me.
Hmm… nothing. Maybe it’s far-fetched… let’s go for something simple, shall we…
I want this room empty, except for Bella and I. With Bella sucking me off with me screaming her name…
Yes… I want this one…
So… Going once… going twice… Nothing!
Well… I’ll just settle for the Chief leaving for now.
By the time my thoughts reached that level, I was fighting the big grin that was about to break its way to my face.
Gotta keep it down…
Things can’t get more perfect.
“But… dad, where are you going?” Bella said in a shaken voice, still worried.
I squeezed her knee and smiled at her. She gave me a small smile as the Chief answered.
“Don’t worry, kiddo. I actually saw Carlisle and Esme outside and asked them if it would be okay for you to stay with them for a few days till I’m back.” He said casually as he ate another bite.
Okay… I was wrong.
Things can get more perfect.
I couldn’t help it any more. The grin that I was trying to suppress broke its way to my face and I must have looked like the village idiot, especially with the black eye I had.
Not that I cared, mind you.
I was having my Bella at my place for a good few days.
And get this…
With her father’s, the Chief of Police, permission.
I leaned to the back of the chair and raised my arm to settle it behind Bella’s shoulders.
She looked at me and saw me grinning. She rolled her eyes at me and huffed.
Oh, we’ll see about that huff later on, love.
“Hey, you didn’t introduce me to your friend.” Chief said as if he just realised that James was here.
He knew Victoria of course, since she was our neighbour.
“You must be James. Ta-… I mean Bells here told me all about you. Welcome to Forks and to my house. I heard you were accepted at Port Angeles High.”
James shook hands with the Chief.
“Thank you, Chief. It’s good to meet you. And I hope all you heard was good?” He quipped as he leaned back in his chair and gave me a smug smile.
“Yeah! I know you’ll be playing ball with school and that you were promised a scholarship or something. Port Angeles High has a good football team. One of the best.” He smiled at him and gave me a hard look.
“Actually… it’s now the best in Washington after Forks High lost its title last year.” He stated in a clipped tone glaring at me.
I lost the grin and gulped loudly.
“Don’t worry, Chief. We’ve got our winning ticket back for this season.” Emmett said with a big smile as he gave me a wink.
I smiled timidly and looked at the Chief who had now a surprised look on his face.
“You’re playing this year, Edward?” he asked me with a curious look.
James eyed me sarcastically and I narrowed my eyes at him.
“Yes, Chief. I’m playing this year. And Forks High will be back on top where it belongs.” I stated firmly glaring at James.
“Oh, well. We’ll see about that, Cullen.” James quipped in a low voice.
I was about to answer but the Chief beat me to it.
“Actually, son. Cullen was the one who had helped Forks High get where it was the last few years after he moved here. Except for last year when he was having his ‘episode’. I just hope that he puts his money where his mouth is…” He narrowed his eyes at me again.
“Don’t worry, Chief. It’s a brand new year. And I’m not going anywhere…” I smirked at James who was now glaring at me.
The Chief rolled his eyes and shifted his attention to Victoria.
“Victoria, dear! How are you? It’s been sometime since I last saw you.” He said with a smile evident in his voice.
“Hello, Chief. I’ve missed you all so much. My parents send you their regards.” Vicky said in a sweet tone.
“And although Bella’s dreadful circumstances made her move here. I can’t say that I regret meeting her… she’s a sweet person just like her father.”
I saw Bella smile sadly at Vicky’s reference to her mother’s death but she blushed at the compliment.
“You know it was nice to meet you too, Vicky.” She said shyly.
“Well, Victoria, just ‘cause you’re not this boy’s girlfriend any more; it doesn’t mean that you need to forget about us…” he glared at me like I was the reason for all the mishaps of the world.
Not fair!
This time Bella placed a hand on my thigh trying to reassure me.
“Actually, Chief Swan. I’m here with my boyfriend…” she said and smiled when she saw his quizzical look.
He whipped his head to look furiously at me. He was shifting his eyes between Bella and I as if he was trying to determine when we got the chance to break up and who was the cause of it.
Shit!
If looks could kill, he wouldn’t need the shot gun he was reaching for right now to do it.
“No, dad! We are still together. Vicky is now James’ girlfriend.” Bella stated quickly.
She gave him a quick briefing on how they both met and he looked relieved. But he didn’t miss the chance to give me a few warning looks every now and then as she spoke.
“Well, good luck, kid. I hope you’ll be happy.” He smiled at her and she beamed at him.
“Okay, now. That was a lovely meal, Bells. Thank you, honey.” He smiled at his daughter and she beamed at him proud of her work.
I gave her a bright smile and pulled her to me.
As we all started to get up to help clean the table he stopped us.
“Guys, I want you to listen to me for a few minutes…” he told us in a stressed tone.
We looked at each other wondering what got him all riled up all of a sudden.
“I know that by now that you have all heard about the murders that have taken place during the last few weeks…” he asked us.
We all nodded. And I sensed the tension hanging thickly in the air.
I saw each of the people sitting pressing to their partner and giving them worried looks.
I held Bella by the waist and tightened my grip on her until she rested her head on my shoulder.
“Okay. Let me give you facts. Originally, there were two murders-…” he started to say but I cut him off.
Originally?
So what now?
Is he saying there has been a third one?!
“What do you mean ‘Originally’? Has there been a new one?” I asked him confused and scared of the answer to come.
He scowled at me, “Let me finish and you’ll get the answer.”
“Sorry…” I mumbled as Bella placed a soft kiss on my neck.
“As I was saying before I was rudely interrupted. There were two murders that took place in the last few weeks. And yes a new one just took place recently. We’ve found out about it this morning.” He stated grimly.
“Now, I don’t want you to panic. But this is the first time Forks has been subjected to such a thing in a long time. We still don’t have many clues but we are working hard and new information is being deducted as the investigation continues.
“What we know so far… is that we are looking for a male. A strong male who can handle a struggling female. He uses violence with his victims to force himself on them. And by force himself, I mean… um… rape.” He finished glumly.
I heard Bella take a sharp breath and freeze to my side. I tightened my arm around her more and kissed her forehead.
No fucker was getting my Bella.
“Sorry, kids. But you needed to hear it. Also, he seems to have a smooth way with women. Because no one has heard screaming or struggling. So we have realized that he lures them to him somehow. He’s a guy that looks like you can trust him.
“And he’s a local who knows his way around this place, since we haven’t heard of any strangers coming to these parts. The victims are mostly um… young girls around your age. One of the girls is from Forks High her name is Bethany Carmichael. Maybe you knew her…” he shifted his gaze between us.
Shit!
I knew Bethany… she was one of my many um… ‘mistakes’ that happened last year. I remembered her… she had dull brown her and grey eyes. I remembered that I hadn’t seen her this semester.
“Anyway, the other girl was from Port Angeles High and the recent Victim was passing by Forks and heading to Canada.”
Poor thing…
I wonder how her family is taking the shock…
“Now, the only reason I’m telling you this is because I want all of you girls to be careful. This is serious. I know you are all together all the time, but I want you to make sure that you are escorted the whole time. I can’t believe I’m saying this… but I need each one of you girls to stick herself to her boyfriend…” he said jadedly.
As he finished his sentence, wolf howls and wooing erupted from the guys around as each one of them grabbed his girl causing the girls to squeal and squirm.
I heard Bella giggle at their reactions shushing them not to wake JC; and she squealed as I pulled her to my lap playfully.
I saw the Chief narrow his eyes at me causing me to gulp and hide my face in Bella’s neck.
“So, let me say this again. Girls, no alone time any more. If there is a chance that you’d be alone at home, you need to call your boyfriend before your parents leave the house. Vicky and Rose I’ll call your parents and okay all this with them so you don’t have any problems in the future…” he finished with a smirk.
Emmett stood up from the table holding a hand on his heart; catching all our attention.
“Chief Swan, you are my hero.” He said in the most serious of tones.
“Did you ever know that you’re my heeeeroooo!” Emmett the airhead started to sing causing all the girls to giggle.
The Chief couldn’t help but chuckle a bit, “Yeah, well. Don’t forget all this is temporary. But what I’d say is… just prove yourself to be trust-worthy and this solution could be permanent.” He winked and blushed.
Well, now… naughty Chief of Mischief is here…
I know now who Bella gets her blush from…
I chuckled as Bella hid her face in my neck.
“Now, that we had this out of the way… you are allowed to leave the table” he said with a smile.
We stood up all excited and talking. We scooped dishes and glasses and took them to the kitchen.
It looks like things were looking up for me.
“Edward and James… can I have a word with you two…” Chief of Grim called us sternly.
Fat chance!
