Chapter 20- Two is Better Than One

BPOVThe trip from San Diego is slow and I worry about Bella driving my Nova in traffic. The closer we get the more impatient I grow. Bella honks when we pass the In-n-Out, and I flash my brights at her. It seems like another lifetime when I first took her there. I think I knew I loved her then. It’s going to have to wait, though. Right now I want to be home with my girl... and my cat. We got a fucking cat. Bella keeps calling Max our kitty baby, and it’s fucking cute as hell. I’m glad she’ll have something to keep her busy while I’m at work, even though I am almost positive that she’ll be spending as much time as she can down in the shop with me.

As I pull into the parking lot of the motel, I look in my rear view mirror and watch Bella pull in behind me. The pussy in me wants to remember this moment forever. I get as close to my room as I can, and I see Emmett run out of the Lobby just as I turn the U-haul off.

“Well, what the fuck do we have here?” he asks as I step out of the truck.

I laugh at his choice of words. “What do you mean, Em?”

Bella has made her way out of the car and is walking towards us with Max in her arms.

“I mean this big ass moving truck and Tink driving the Nova. I never get to drive the Nova... Hey did you drive it all the way from San Diego?” he asks turning to Bella. “And what is that?”

Bella and I can hardly contain our laughter as we watch Emmett freak out. “This is Max our kitten. Edward rescued him, and now we are going to take care of him together...here, so Uncle Em and Aunt Rose can love him, too,” Bella says as she kisses Max’s little head.

“Can we talk about this later, man. We have had a long day, and I want to get inside and take a shower. I’m tired as shit and I need to sleep,” I plead with him, hoping that he will show me some mercy.

“What’s the matter, little bro? Did you not get much sleep at Bella’s this weekend? Why ya so tired?” he asks with a wink.

“No, I did not get much sleep at Bella’s because she can’t keep her hands off of me. Now get the hell back to work and let us rest! Please.” I sigh.

“Fine, but Rose is going to want to talk about this. So I guess I’ll see you guys later. Breakfast tomorrow?”

“I was thinking more like dinner tomorrow. Drinks and karaoke?” Bella wiggles her eyebrows at him.

“Sure thing, hot stuff. You know I can’t turn down an offer like that.” Emmett leans in and kisses Bella’s head before he starts to walk off. “I’ll let Rose know. Hopefully she won’t come barging in like she did after Vegas. Although that was pretty funny!” he shouts as he jogs away from us.

I open the door to my apartment and wait for Bella to walk in before me. I set the bags with the things we will need tonight on the floor, and Bella lets Max down so that he can get acquainted with his new home. I close the door with my foot, and Bella wraps her arms around me in a tight hug. As I place a soft kiss on her temple I hear her whisper, “Home.”

The next morning I wake up to Bella wrapped around my body and Max wrapped around my head. It sounds as if they are both purring, and I chuckle to myself. This is heaven, and though I don’t know what I did to deserve this blessing, I send silent thanks to whoever sent it my way.

Max stirs first, kneading my hair with his tiny claws, and when I move him off of my head, Bella begins to stir. Her hands reach for me and she nuzzles her face against my chest. Yup, definitely one lucky bastard. I look down at her and find her smiling at me.

“Good morning, baby,” she says, her voice raspy with sleep.

“Good morning, yourself, gorgeous. Did you sleep well?” I ask, running my hand through her hair.

She nods and moves to place a soft kiss over my heart. “I did. How could I not? I’m finally home and I had no idea how much I missed this bed until I got back into it.”

“Really? No idea at all?” I whisper as I raise my self up until I am hovering over her. I kiss my way from her ear to her collarbone before I look up at her. “What else did you not realize that you missed? I personally missed this...” I say as I lift her shirt over her head and take one of her nipples between my lips. “...and this...” I circle her belly button with my tongue and pull her panties down her perfect legs. “...and I most definitely missed this...” I whisper against the slick wet skin between her thighs.

“Oh, Edward.” She pants and uses my hair to pull my face exactly where she wants it.

I give her exactly what she wants of course, licking and sucking as if my life depends on it. I listen to her declarations of love and devotion as she rocks her hips against my face. It makes me happy that she is comfortable enough with me that she isn’t shy about setting the pace and giving me instructions on how she wants me to make love to her. When she comes undone under my tongue, I know that she will never have to miss me or this bed—our bed again.

Without warning, Bella sits up and pushes me so that I am lying on my back underneath her. She looks down at me with a smirk that I swear she stole from me. “I missed this...” she says as she places a kiss directly over my heart.

“I love you so much, baby and not having you in my days was horrible. I know that it was my choice, but promise me we won’t be apart again.”

I sit up and her arms go around my neck. She grabs my hair to bring me close enough for her to kiss. I pull her legs tighter around my waist and she moans into my mouth.

“Promise me, Edward,” she whispers against my lips.

“I promise, baby girl. I’ll never let you go again,” I say, breathing her in.

I pour my heart into my kiss and try to show her all of my love. I tell her all the time, but I need her to feel it. I need her to carry it with her. I let her move off of me just long enough so that she can pull my boxers off of me. I look down and watch her crawl towards me on all fours, and I want to memorize her this way; naked, stalking towards me like a tiger with that sexy ass smirk on her face. She knows what she’s doing, and I can tell that she likes it.

“Hey, B? What ya doin’?”

“I’m comin’ to get you, Eddie. Scared?” She giggles.

I throw my head back and laugh at her. “Not yet, baby. Should I be?”

“Be afraid, be very afraid,” she says before she straddles me. Her hands move to my sides, and I am kind of shocked when she starts to tickle me.

I squirm but I’m not sure that I want to get away from her because we are naked after all. Is it even legal to try to get away from your sexy, naked girlfriend? Probably not. Before I’m ready for it, I feel her lower herself onto me. We both gasp as I am fully engulfed by her warmth. She smiles down at me and rakes her nails down my chest. I try to sit up so that I can hold her, but she pushes me back down.

“Nuh uh.. this is my show, baby,” she says as she rolls her hips against me.

“Oh my God. You feel so good, love. I missed you so much.” I reach for her breasts and watch her skin pebble under my fingertips. I love how her body responds to me.

Bella puts her hands on my thighs and leans back, giving me the most incredible view. I’m mesmerized by the way my cock disappears inside of her every time she moves. When she touches the place where we are joined, I know I won’t be able to hold on to my orgasm much longer, and I need her to come again before I do.

“Bella...baby, I can’t hold it... are you close?” I ask, my voice barely above a whisper.

I feel Bella lean back even farther and moments later she clamps down on me and cries out.

“Holy fucking shit, Edward!”

That’s all it takes to send me falling hard and first. My entire body goes numb, and my heart feels like it’s going to beat out of my chest. My girl is going to be the death of me... but it would be the sweetest death.

Bella and I spend the rest of the day in bed watching movies and playing with Max. Surprisingly enough there are no interruptions from Rose, Emmett or Jasper. This simultaneously pleases me and scares the shit of me. I imagine that Emmett is physically holding my sister back from breaking our door down. Our door. I’m such a fucking sap. I decide to text her and let her know that we will definitely see them tonight.

See you tonight, 9 at the diner? or the bar?- EMy phone rings not more than 10 seconds later. The bar at 9 is fine.- Rose p.s. you have some explaining to do, baby bro. jsykI have to laugh at her, because I can practically see the scowl on her face.

I don’t have to explain shit. I’m an adult. jsyk - Edward
I turn my phone off after I answer her because this conversation is turning into something we’ll regret later. I love my sister, but sometimes she acts like she is my mother and in this situation I’m not willing to let her.

I shower and Bella makes dinner. When I walk into the kitchen, I find her dancing in front of the stove. She’s wearing a wife beater and boy shorts with cherries all over them. Fuck me.

“I suddenly have a craving for cherries,” I say as I wrap my arms around her from behind.

“Hmm... I wonder why that is. “ She giggles and squeezes my arms around her. “I made us a salad and some grilled chicken. Are you hungry?”

“Of course I am. Let’s eat as much as we can now, because I have a feeling that we will be doing a lot of drinking tonight. I just agreed that we would  meet my sister and Emmett at the bar in a few hours,” I say as I grab a couple of water bottles and set them on the table.

Bella joins me and we eat all of the salad and chicken. It’s delicious. I can tell that she is nervous. She’s going to bite all the way through her lip if she isn’t careful. After she clears the table, I pull her into my lap.

“Baby, it’s just Rose and Em. They love you. You know that.”

“Oh yeah? Then why is Rose being all weird? She hasn’t even shown up once today. Maybe she doesn’t love me as much as you think she does.” She grabs my face and forces me to look in her eyes.

“Is that what you’re worried about? That she hasn’t come over today? Well I’ll bet my poor brother in law has had to all but sit on her to keep her away. Seriously, babe. She sent me very angry texts earlier. If she thought for even a second that I would open the door, she’d have been over a long time ago.”

“Really?” She sounds relieved for some strange reason.

“Yes, really. I could call her now if that would make you feel better.”

“No, it’s fine. I’m going to get dressed and then we can walk over to the bar together.” She gets up from my lap and leaves the kitchen.

I pick up the mess we made in the kitchen, because I know I’m not going to want to do it tonight, and I definitely don’t want to leave it until tomorrow. I hear the shower start and then I hear her get out. Soon I hear Boys like Girls playing very loudly from my iPod dock. That is definitely not mine. I finish cleaning just in time to hear Bella belting out some Joss Stone. I take that as my cue. I barge into the room and pull her into my arms and force her to dance with me. I hold her close until I feel her relax. She kisses my cheek and then lets go of me to go get dressed.

I finish before she does since I just throw on a shirt and jeans. I run my fingers through my hair but it’s no use. This shit never looks tame. When Bella finally walks into the living room, I can’t help the smile that takes over my face. In true and classic Bella fashion she is wearing a black t-shirt knotted at her hip, red skinny jeans and a pair of Vans. I am unconditionally and irrevocably in love with her.“Ready?”

I take her hand before answering, “Let’s get this over with.”

“It’s just Rose and Em, remember?” she asks, mocking me.

“Yeah, I remember,” I say as I open the door for her.

We walk the few blocks to the bar hand in hand. It feels like we’ve been doing this forever. We don’t say much, but I squeeze her fingers and hope that she knows that we are in this together.

“I love you, baby,” I tell her when reach the entrance to the bar. “You and me.”

“You and me,” she repeats as we walk in.

I spot my sister and Emmett at a table in the back. When we get to them, Rose is the first to speak.

“Well. well. well. Looks like you couldn’t stay away, huh, Bella?”

“I think I was silly to try. Clearly I have found the place that I’m supposed to be. I hope that it won’t be a problem.”

“Nope. No problem. I just hope you mean that. No more leaving, okay?” Rose says as she stands and throws her arms around my girl.

“Deal, Rosalie. No more leaving.”

Emmett puts his arms around both of the girls, and I can’t help but laugh when he shouts out, “Great! Now lets fuckin’ celebrate!” before jumping up on to the karaoke stage.

Looks like it’s going to be a long night.

I remember what you wore on the first day
You came into my life and I thought
"Hey, you know, this could be something"
'Cause everything you do and words you say
You know that it all takes my breath away
And now I'm left with nothing

So maybe it's true
That I can't live without you
And maybe two is better than one
But there's so much time
To figure out the rest of my life
And you've already got me coming undone
And I'm thinking two is better than one

I remember every look upon your face
The way you roll your eyes
The way you taste
You make it hard for breathing
'Cause when I close my eyes and drift away
I think of you and everything's okay
I'm finally now believing

That maybe it's true
That I can't live without you
And maybe two is better than one
But there's so much time
To figure out the rest of my life
And you've already got me coming undone
And I'm thinking two is better than one
