Chapter 15
APOV
I quickly grabbed Rose's hand and motioned the guys to follow, as we all piled on the elevator to go to our respective rooms. I couldn't help but laugh at the reactions on Bella's, and Edward's faces when I told them that they had to share a room with only one bed. This was all to my plan to get Edward, and Bella together. We could all see how attracted they were with each other, but again they were oblivious to it. Ever since, Bella's makeover it was my goal to make them realize their feelings for each other, but of course Jake came along. He seemed really infatuated by Bella, and she seemed to enjoy it, but I couldn't help but feel that something was off about him, I could have sworn I heard his name before, but I just couldn't put two, and two together. He told her he would call her, and I glad at least there would be someone for Bella, cause she was heartbroken about my ass of a brother. I could still tell she was attracted to him, so I started putting my plan into action. We 3 were all surprised by the confrontation we all stumbled onto. It was Tanya, her and all of horeish glory.
I was so glad she was out of our lives, and she had the nerve to blame Bella. She should know better than to mess with my family and friends. I still believe my day with her will come. I had to admit I was afraid that this encounter wasn't going to be the last time we have seen Tanya. She seems very off, on the brink of insanity. I not usually afraid of people, but something about Tanya isn't right with her in the head. I was also glad when, Bella had offered for us to move in with her since she had the available space, that was going to make my plan so much better, let's just say you must stay on your toes with a little pixie like me. As for the meantime we were all going to New York to take Bells sightseeing, she had been here for a while, and still hadn't seen much out of her place. We were going to spend the night, and the next day go and visit Mom, and Dad. I had told them we were bringing a guest, and to set an extra mat for dinner.
Instantly, I knew I was going to put my plan into full effect with this trip. Of course Bella had, to meet her friend the floor and hurt her ankle. She told us she was alright, so we all decided to continue with our dinner plans. We had decided on a pizzeria, and ordered 2 pizzas, of course it wasn't long before Emmett ate all his, and was stealing pizza from our boxes. I had saw Bella grin from the corner of my eye, and I was about to ask her what it was all about, but Rose had beat me to the punch, and had snatched her phone.
She had told me it was a text from Jake asking about a date, and that she had replied yes. I was still a little iffy about the situation but I couldn't help but still be happy for her. Soon enough it was time, for us to go to the hotel to rest for the night, but Bella tried to get up and failed miserably. Luckily Edward was there to catch her. She had said most of the pain was in her ankle, and when Emmett took off her sock, and shoe, I almost fainted, Bella's ankle was swollen, and all different shades of black, blue, and red. I couldn't believe she had let her ankle get to this point, but we all know Bella doesn't like to show pain. We had some blocks, to walk to the hotel, and Jazz, and Em were going to retrieve the cars. Since we were going in two complete different directions, someone had to carry Bella. Of course since me, and Rose were girls especially in 4 inch heels, it would be difficult to carry Bella around. Edward quickly offered and grabbed her bridal style, before sliding Bella onto his back. She wrapped her arms around his neck, and snuggled her head onto his shoulder. It was one of the cutest things I had ever seen. We walked the couple of blocks to the hotel, while Rose , and I went inside to retrieve our keys, leaving Bella, and Edward outside to wait on the boys to get the bags from the back. It was now time to tell Bella, and Edward the news about the whole room situation. They didn't know that I had intentionally booked 3 single bed rooms, each on a different floor. Once I delivered them the news, I knew they were about to protest, so I threw them their key, and told the guys to drop their bags, and hurry so Edward, and Bella wouldn't catch on to my plan, so here we are riding on the elevator heading towards the 19th floor. Rose, and Emmett were on the 12th so they had already gotten off. I couldn't hide the grin off of my face abut Edward, and Bella. So far everything was good, despite the few difficulties, I couldn't help but wonder what those two were going to do tonight. I automatically knew what Rose, and Em were probably doing. Ew. I shuddered at the thought. I gazed up to the bright blue eyes of my sweetie Jazz. He looked lustful, and I couldn't help but giggle.
" What are you laughing about, my little pixie." Jasper asked.
"Oh nothing, just wondering about, Bella, and Edward and their little rooming situation." I beamed.
"Yeah, I wish I knew what they were doing." Jasper said curiously.
"Well at least we know they aren't doing what I know Rose ,and Emmett are doing right now." I laughed.
"Well lets, forget about them for a while, and go give Rose, and Em a run for their money." Jasper said wiggling his eyebrows before embracing me in a kiss.
Soon we were on our floor. Right now I could care less, what the others were doing right now. I quickly enveloped my lips with Jasper's, ,before stumbling into our room slamming the door behind us. Right now it was just the two of us, in love confined by the walls of our hotel room. I had had fun today, but now it was time for some fun of my own….
EPOV
Fuck! I thought to myself, I had dropped Bella off of my back, and onto the chair that was settled by the table in our room. I knew Alice did this on purpose, and I knew she did. I didn't know what to expect for the night, it was already late about 11:45 p.m, and we still had to go and visit Carlisle tomorrow, and still make it back home, hopefully the movers would have finished by then. Bella's ankle was still hurting so I gave her some aspirin, before stepping out of the room, to get some ice from the machine. I returned to see Bella hopping along on one foot towards the bathroom.
"What are you doing ?" I asked.
"Uh I was going to go, and change into some pj's." she said sheepish.
"Oh yeah, well let me go put your bag in the bathroom." I mumbled.
I came back out, and she was already outside of her door, I was worried about her ankle, with all the hopping, worried she might dislocate it, I would have to let Carlisle take a look at it. She hopped inside and closed the door behind her.
I went to get changed outside of the door, and quickly threw on some athletic shorts, and a green wife beater I grabbed my black framed glasses on , to see if I could get some reading in. I went to grab my phone and charge it, but I had noticed I had one mixed text, again it was from an unknown sender, it read:
Oh don't worry about who I am,
Just know that I see you,
Love's a painful price, and I get what I want
-p.s: Nice room by the way…
-Unknown Sender
I really had to find out whoever this person was and why were they were watching my every move. I was starting to get worried that this could get serious. I sighed, and raked my hands through my tousled hair. I threw my phone in my bag, not worrying about charging it, and laid back on the couch. I closed my eyes, and was slowly drifting off the sleep when I heard Bella's voice call my name. It had been 40 minutes, and she was still in the bathroom, maybe she had needed help getting out. I went to knock on the bathroom door, and she answered saying that the door was unlocked. I entered and there Bella sat with a tank top, and her jeans still on.
"I thought you were changing, you've been in here for over thirty minutes now." I said.
"Uh I kind of have a situation here, she said gesturing to her leg." She replied her face beet red.
And then it dawned on me why she was taking so long, she couldn't get her jeans off, and I was the only one who could help her.
Oh crap!
BPOV
I was glad, to change into my pjs, my ankle was still swollen, and it hurt like a bitch. I hopped towards the toilet, and pulled the lid down so I could sit. I grabbed my bag and was glad to see that Alice had packed some reasonable bags. I quickly took off my top, and cardigan, and slid off my bra, because like most girls know, it's hard to go to sleep in one. I found a yellow tank, and quickly threw it on. I grabbed my shorts, and tried to tug my jeans off, but every move I made, made my ankle ache more. I instantly knew I had a major dilemma on my hands. I couldn't get my fucking jeans off. I had 3 options I could keep trying to get my jeans off, hurting my ankle more in the process, 2 call Alice or Rosalie to come and help me, or 3 get Edward to help….
I think I will go with option 2 , I grabbed my cell from my bag, and saw that it was an another text, I quickly opened it and it read:
Poor baby, got a booboo,
Stay away or you will get more than
A sprained ankle….
-P.s love the outfit btw
-unknown sender
What the fuck! Someone was seriously out to get me. What do I have to step away from? Sometimes these messages could be so cryptic. I didn't wan to dwell on who the crazy son of a bitch was, I had another issue on my hands. I quickly scrolled down my contacts to first Alice's number, I quickly dialed, and the phone rang multiple times, and still no answer. I tried again with the same result. I gave up on Alice. Next was Rose, I dialed her number, to get an breathless hello.
"Hello." Rose purred.
"Rose." I called.
"Bel… mm, Emmett!" She my gosh she was having sex on the phone with me.
"Rosalie!" I called out once more.
"Sorry, Bell.." She moaned before the phone hung up.
"Great!" I mumbled to myself. I tried to pull my skinny legs jeans off with no such luck.
I huffed and knew I had no other choice.
"Edward!" I called out.
I was about to call out again, when I heard a knock on the door.
"It's open." I called as he opened the door.
There he stood, in a wife beater, and athletic shorts, His black framed glasses complementing his angular face. I could see the faint contours of his muscles/
He resembled a sexy nerd. I wanted nothing more than to jump him at that moment, but I had other issues to resolve.
"I thought you were changing, you've been in here for over thirty minutes now." he said. Had I really been in here that long? I could start to feel my face start to heat up with what I was about to say
"Uh I kind of have a situation here." I said gesturing my leg.
I think realization came to him as he stuttered.." Uh okay?"
"I can't really get my ankle out, since it's so swollen." I mumbled. My face probably resembled a tomato right now.
"What about the girls?" Edward asked nervously.
"Uh, I tried Alice, with no answer, and uh Rose was a little occupied at the moment." I quickly said.
"Occupied?" He questioned, than realization dawned on his face, as we both called,
"Emmett." We both laughed. Great so that eased some of the tension out of the room.
"So.." I started.
"So.." he started which made us break into another fit of laughter.
"Please, just help me, my ankle is killing me." I said once more.
"Uh okay?" He said timid, hesitant to move forward." Come on I don't bite." I huffed ,ready to get this all over with.
"You sure?" Edward questioned.
"Yeah." I said as I unbuttoned my jeans, and tried to shimmy them downward, thank god I had boy shorts on at this moment.
"Okay, how about I just close my eyes." He said."Edward it's just me, were both adults here." I huffed.
"Whatever." He said, as he slowly pulled my jeans down, his hands cool, leaving traces of goose bumps across my skin. My heart rate rapidly started increasing, his touch sending electric pulses across my skin. He grabbed my ankle, and carefully caressed it making sure not to hurt me, any further. I must have been so infatuated with what he was doing that I didn't notice that his gaze had been on mine the entire time. His once bright green eyes, now a dark jade, gave me a look. I mumbled a quick thanks, as he nodded his head in acknowledgement before stepping out closing the door behind him. I sighed and leaned back against the wall. How could I let his touch affect me so much? I was trying so hard to keep my emotions in check, the way he was taking care of me tonight, gave me conflicting thoughts. As much as I'm afraid to say this, I was falling for Edward Cullen…
EPOV
If there was an moment I could use a cold shower it was definitely now. I couldn't believe it a first, when she told me she needed help getting her jeans off, I looked at her like she was crazy, I was wondering why she needed my help, when she could have called the girls, but told me Alice didn't answer, and uh Rose, was a little occupied at the moment, so that left no one by me. I could see the distress on her face, to just curl up in a ball and go to sleep. I was so nervous to help her, so I simply obliged, keeping my gaze on hers, I grabbed the waistband of her jeans, and slowly pulled them down. My fingers felt a tingling sensation, as I glided downward along her skin, it felt as if there was an large electric current flowing from her to me. I carefully grabbed her swollen ankle, afraid to cause it anymore distressed. Once I was finished, I saw that she had laid her bold brown doe eyes on mine, as she mumbled a quick thank you. I nodded my head in acknowledgement before stepping out of the room, closing the door behind me.
I laid back on the couch, and let out a breath I didn't know I was holding. In that moment I wished I was taking her pants off for other reasons. I could still smell her scent on me, Freesias, and strawberries.. It was hard to change the way I felt, I wanted her to be happy, but I was fucked up myself. I wanted the best for her, and I thought that was me. I was a player, using girls to feel up the large void that opened in my heart, by the one girl I loved, but how did I know she felt the same way about me? I didn't. I didn't want to hurt her like I had hurt others. I was no different than Tanya, I was brought out from my thoughts when I heard Bella's angel voice call me once more. I guessed she needed help to get to the bed.. The door was ajar, and there sat Bella once more, freshly changed, her hair pulled up into a messy bun. She looked even more beautiful at the moment.
I gave her my crooked smile , and she grinned back before I grabbed her bridal style towards the bed. I settled her down carefully propping up her leg on one of the extra pillows. I gave her a quick kiss on the fore head before heading over to the couch were I was going to sleep tonight.
"Edward." Bella called.
"Yeah?" I answered.
"I feel really bad about the whole bed situation, I don't want you to hurt your back on the couch I'll just go." She said, trying to get out of the bed.
"Nonsense Bella, you're going to hurt yourself more, if you try to move around. I'll be fine on the couch don't worry." I reassured her."But you paid for this room, and all… I couldn't possibly.." She started but I quickly stopped her.
"You will stay in this bed, and go to sleep, and that's final." I said in a frank tone.
"Look, how about we compromise." She tried to say, but was obviously nervous.
"What kind of compromise?" I questioned."Well this bed is big enough for the both of us, so why don't we share." She said.
"I don't know?" I grumbled.
"Come on Edward, I don't have cooties, and I'll feel a whole lot better if I didn't have to worry about you straining your neck on the couch. Please?" She asked.
"Okay, You're sure you don't have cooties Bells?" I grinned playfully.
"Yeah I'm sure, 100% clean." She grinned.
I chuckled before settling on the opposite side of Bella under the covers
She quickly snuggled onto her pillow, as I turned out the lights. I turned over on my pillow, and heard steady breaths coming from the opposite side. I had figured she was asleep, so I closed my eyes, to go to sleep. Then I heard Bella's voice call out once more."Edward." She said sleepily."Yeah Bells?" I responded.
"Goodnight." She yawned, before turning over.
"Goodnight Bella, sweet dreams." I said, before I let slumber overcome me, into the dakness of oblivion...
