Chapter 10
Something was off. Edward could feel it in the air. Why was it so important
that he be here, at his parents house? Alice had practically dragged he and
Nessie from their house, stating they had to come to a family dinner.
All the way through dinner, Alice was more and more distracted, as if she
were waiting for something to happen. Even his parents were unusually quiet.
Now, that really made him curious. Even Jasper was silent.
What the hell was going on?
Things got even weirder when Alice and Jasper got up from the table and
headed for the door.
"Where are you two off too?" Edward asked.
"We thought we would take an evening stroll. The weather is starting to turn
colder, and soon we'll be forced to stay indoors," Alice said hastily.
"Would you mind if I accompanied you? I could use some fresh air myself,"
Edward said, reaching for his coat.
"No!" Alice practically screeched. Edward just stared at her. What
the?
"I mean-um, Jasper and I would really like some time alone, just the
two of us," Alice said, a pleading note in her voice.
Edward sighed. Young love. After nodding, Edward returned to the
parlor to chat with his parents.
About 30 minutes later, Edward heard the front door open. Alice poked her
head into the parlor. Her face lit up when she saw Edward still sitting there.
"Be right back," she said, before disappearing again. Strange girl….
A moment later, Alice returned with a beautiful girl accompanying her.
Edward stood up hastily. How had he never seen her before today? Suddenly it
felt like no one else existed in the room. The two looked each other over…
She was petite, maybe 5'3". And she was young. Edward guessed 17 or 18 at
best. Her mahogany colored hair was currently pinned up under a blue hat. Edward
had a sudden urge to unpin it and let it fall about her shoulders. He wanted to
touch it, to see if it was as soft as it looked. It was her eyes that really
called his attention though. Her eyes were a dark brown, almost the color of
chocolate.
Edward thought he might drown in those eyes.
She had on a very pretty blue dress. Edward thought that blue definitely
complemented her features. Even her breasts looked perky under the blue
material. His hands ached to touch those mounds of flesh.
Would it be redundant to say she was beautiful?
Edward suddenly had a vision of the two of them, together. They were naked,
pressed together. Her hair was unbound and flying about her shoulders and back.
Her creamy legs were wrapped around his waist. Her breasts, pressing into his
chest. And his hand…his fingers were inside of her, exploring her velvety, moist
heat. She was gasping, chanting his name. Then his dick replaced his hand….
His breathing sped up. Edward suddenly felt like he had to fuck her or die….
Inconspicuously, he readjusted himself.
He was tall, at least a foot taller than herself, and lanky. But, she had
already known that. His bronze colored hair was untidy and fly away. Bella had a
sudden urge to run her fingers through that wild hair. His eyes stopped her.
They were a beautiful shade of green. Almost the color of grass, but brighter
somehow. Bella thought she might drown in those eyes.
His face reminded her of Adonis. He was poetry to look at. He was perfect….
She knew already that she was attracted to him. Her stomach clenched and she
felt an ache between her legs that she had never felt before. What did it mean?
Alice watched the two and almost crowed with glee. The sparks were flying
already! This would be easier than she had thought!
"Bella Swan, this is my brother Edward," Alice said, not wanting to ruin the
moment, but feeling introductions should be made. Edward looked like he was
going to ravish Bella at any second.
"Hello Bella," Edward said, his voice sounding like velvet. Unsteadily, he
held out his hand. Bella took it hesitantly. His much larger hand easily encased
her own. They both felt the spark from that simple touch.
"Hello Edward. I'm so glad to finally meet you," she replied, a little
breathless. Her voice was low, but still feminine.
Edward's eyebrow raised. "I see my sister has been talking about me again,"
he said jokingly.
Bella was confused. "Of course. Why wouldn't she tell me about you?"
Warning bells started going off in Edward's head, replacing the thoughts from
earlier. She didn't…..
"So, how long have you and my sister been friends? She's never brought you
around before," Edward continued, praying he was wrong.
Bella smiled. "Alice didn't tell me you had a sense of humor. You and my
brother should get along wonderfully." Something's not right….
"Your brother? Is he here?" Edward said, looking around. There was no one in
the room but his parents, Alice and themselves. Where's Jasper?
As if to answer his unspoken question, Bella smiled and said, "Yes. He's
outside with his family and Jasper. I'm sorry. I should have said something in
my letter, but I didn't know at the time."
Edward was very confused now. Letter? What letter? Just what the fuck was
going on here?
Bella rambled on, oblivious to his sudden quiet. "I was really surprised that
no one else answered the advertisement. By the time it got to Seattle, it was
already a month old. Not that I will complain, mind you…"
Edward was no longer listening. He was staring at Bella with an intensity
that, had she been paying attention, would have frightened her. Did she say
Seattle? As in Seattle in the state of Washington! That was
several states away from Illinois. Had she really come all that way?
Suddenly, Edward was furious. His sister LIED to him. She told him no
one had responded to that damn ad in the paper. She told him she had removed it.
Alice had LIED…..
Alice watched as everything clicked in Edward's head. She knew the exact
moment when he realized her part in all of this. Edward's impenetrable gaze flew
to her face. Alice had the grace to blush.
"I'm sorry. There's been a misunderstanding," Edward said, interrupting
Bella. She gazed at him, confusion coloring her features.
"Misunderstanding? I'm afraid I don't understand?" Bella asked, looking at
Alice. She hung her head.
"My sister mislead you. I am not looking for a wife. My daughter and I
have been fine on our own. My sister took it upon herself to place the ad
in the paper. I told her to remove it, which, she told me she had. Apparently,
you replied after it had been supposedly removed and my sister
answered you in the affirmative. I am afraid you have traveled all this way
for nothing," Edward told Bella frankly.
Edward could not be angry with Bella. It wasn't her fault that his sister
lied to her. She was not at fault and he wouldn't treat her like she was.
Bella was so confused. Alice had lied? She placed the ad against her brothers
wishes? But, what did that mean for her now?
"What am I to do then?" Bella asked.
"I will, of course, pay for your return fare to Seattle. I apologize for this
inconvenience and for my sister deceiving you. I am truly sorry that you wasted
your time coming here. I will more than compensate you for this," Edward told
her diplomatically.
Bella stared at him. She couldn't return home. Back to a life of
service, even if it was in her father's home. Back to cooking and cleaning and
never living her life the way she wanted to. Needed to….
"Please," Bella pleaded. "Don't make me go back home." Her eyes started to
water.
Edward was taken aback. Shit, now he had made her cry. Fuck….
Edward was about to respond, when he heard a little voice behind him say,
"Poppa?"
