Atonement

By BetterInTexas

Chapter 12:

Edward POV

“She hasn’t answered her phone in two weeks.” I said admittedly dejected.

“So you are going to give up?” Peter asked.

“You told me to not seem desperate. Calling every day and being ignored would seem desperate, wouldn’t it?”

“Look you are losing a battle here. She is in love with a guy she spends every moment with, traveling around, going to romantic locations, living on the edge. If you want a shot you better realize your situation is desperate.” Peter said in his usual blunt manner.

“So I should give up?”

“Nope. Didn’t say that. Just said that you may have to act a little desperate. I mean when she did talk to you the two of you had a nice conversation right?”

“Yes.” I told him remembering every word she said. “She talked for an hour about Garrett.”

“That’s not true Edward.” Alice added in.

“Yeah. She talked about that tall idiot that runs around with them for at least 15 of those minutes.” Emmett grumbled. He was still not over getting taken down so easily. He should have listened to Bella’s wishes.

“She asked how you were doing.” Alice pointed out.

“Yeah. And you basically had nothing to say. Let’s face it. You guys lead a boring life.” Peter pointed out.

I was about to respond when I realized he was right.

“We don’t have a boring life.” Emmett countered. Peter disagreed.

“Bullshit. I don’t see how Jasper can stand it. Every damn day you all do the same thing. Carlisle goes to work. Alice reads fashion magazines. She goes shopping in the afternoon every fucking day. Who the hell needs that many clothes? Jasper reads history books. Edward you play that damn song on the piano every day. Emmett you watch sports, Esme cuts flowers and redecorates the damn house every day. Rose works on ya’lls cars every day giving them tune ups even though they are brand new fucking cars! Seriously? Meanwhile your love is out there with a couple fucking nomads going to concerts, running the country, seeing the sites and probably getting her brains fucked out multiple times a day. Wake the fuck up son! I came here to help you but I didn’t realize how bad the situation is. You have nothing to offer her. Considering how you abandoned her and she got turned against her will it’s a damn miracle she even talked to you once! Now you want to talk about desperate boy? You are looking at fourth down at your own ten yard line with three seconds on the clock.”

That brought silence to everyone in the house.

I finally looked at Emmett. I suppose he read the question in my face.

“Fourth down at your own ten yard line with three seconds on the clock is bad Edward.”

“Thank you Emmett.”

“Call her. Make up something. Lie. Tell her you did something cool. You killed the vampire that turned her. Maybe you can play that up.” Peter suggested.

“Probably not the best idea, Peter. Bella really didn’t want to talk about that when she saw us.” Alice whispered.

“Can you blame her?” Rose asked.

“Call her Edward. Maybe you can at least be friends.” Jasper suggested.

“Screw that. Tell her you have a girlfriend. Tell her you killed another vampire that talked back to you. Try anything if you really want her. Cause son I got a feeling that train has done left the station.”

I looked at my family and then Peter. I suppose I should listen to Peter.

“Fine. I will try again. What do I really have to lose at this point?”

“Ask her on a date Edward.” Esme put in.

“A date? I am supposed to play it cool…”

“I don’t care. Try honesty. If she wants you she will want you for you. Not someone you aren’t.”

A chorus of disagreements arose from my family. The bad thing about reading every thought around you was… well everything. But the worst thing is knowing what others think of you all the time no matter how much they try to hide their thoughts.

I knew my family loved me. But they knew what I was. I knew through them what I was. Boring. Old fashioned. Depressed and sullen.

“Your right Esme. I will just be honest. I will ask her on a date. Meet her wherever she is in the country.”

I dialed the number and turned around. Everyone was staring at me.

“Can I have privacy?”

A chorus of no’s arose. I suppose my humiliation shall be witnessed. Maybe not. Maybe she will say yes. She loved me once.

The phone was ringing. She picked up!

“Yo.”

“Uh… is Bella available to speak? Could you tell her Edward is on the phone?”

“Nah man. Shortie busy.”

“Who is this?”

“It’s him.” Emmett growled.

Ty POV

I was gonna be good. But I was bored. I was watchin some hottie vamp on satellite takin a bath in a River in the Amazon. Then she got dressed and disappeared under the rain forest canopy.

Bella and Garrett were training. Bella was training. Garrett was pretty much kicking her ass. I heard her scream in frustration a few times. She left her phone on the control console. She had called Renee and then Charlie before she went in.

Her phone buzzed. I thought it might be that Jake guy or her folks. Instead it was him. Hehe.

I really shouldn’t. I knew she had been ignoring his calls since Forks a few weeks ago. She came in from that conversation and saw Garrett’s face. Even though she spent the whole time talking about Gar he still seemed upset. He thought he could hide it but he wasn’t very good at it. Seeing her ex wolf boyfriend had done thrown him off his game a bit. Cullen callin didn’t help.

Bella knew. She saw it in his face. And since then she has been attached to his hip. She has ignored every one of dumbass’s calls. And that fucker called every day.

Bella and Garrett loved each other. It hit them hard and fast. I don’t know how far it had gone but I saw her leavin his room the other night. She told me they were watching TV. I told her I liked TV. How come Ty couldn’t watch TV? She did that thing when she gets embarrassed, bitin her lip and looking at the ground. I didn’t smell sex in the air so I guess it hadn’t gone that far. But still they belonged together. Bella was too nice to say anything. But that boy needed to be put out of his misery.

Guess it was up to me to shoot the lame horse in the head.

“Yo.”

“Uh… is Bella available to speak? Could you tell her Edward is on the phone?”

“Nah man. Shortie busy.”

“Who is this?”

I heard big dumbass say it’s him. Damn right it’s me.

“This Ty. What you want man?”

“I want to speak to Bella? Could you at least tell her I am on the phone?”

“Nah man. She with Garrett. I don’t disturb their alone time. Right now I hear a bunch of screaming and shit. They can get carried away in their alone time.”

I said nothing that wasn’t true. Bella couldn’t get mad about that.

“I see.” I barely heard him. Pretty boy sounded so sad.

“This is Edward right? The gink with all the geetus?”

“I’m sorry?”

“You the guy with all the dough right?”

“Oh… yes. I suppose I am. I mean my family…”

“You gotta know by now you ain’t got a chance right?”

“Excuse me?”

“You heard me.” I told him, ready to put a bullet in this poor horses head.

‘I don’t know any such thing.” Ahh. He was getting mad. Wish he was close enough to read my mind now.

“Really? You hittin the pipe? That girl’s G Man’s moll. You gotta be one fucked in the head pretty boy. She is with Garrett. Savvy Kemosabe?”

“I… I’m sorry. I really have no idea what you are saying.”

“Look, her and Garrett are in love fella. Let a playa play and be on your way. You done fucked up that girl’s life enough. Why you gotta come back for more? She some sort of punchin bag for you? You didn’t screw up her life enough when she was human so you gotta do it some more now?”

“I understand. I just want to talk. To be a friend.”

“A friend? A friend don’t call every damn day for the past few weeks even when the call ain’t answered. Hey is that blonde sista of yours there?”

“Ye… yes.”

“What she got on?”

“She’s wearing a red dress. Why?”

“Is it high? Low cut? She flashin some assets? Give me the skinny man. What is her fine ass lookin like today?”

“Fuck you, you son of a bitch.” Big guy yelled in the background. I started laughing.

“Chill you big fucker. I was just wonderin. No need to get butt hurt over it.”

“Shut up Emmett. Listen… Ty? Are you saying that Bella and Garrett are in a definite relationship?”

“I’m sayin.” Fucker may be getting a clue finally.

“How serious are they?” Maybe not.

“Listen. Bella told me all about you. Even if she wasn’t with Garrett what the hell makes you think you would deserve her? What have you ever done that you would deserve someone like her? Seriously? I really want to know. All the men out there, even vampire men. You think you are the one she should be with? C’mon Eddie. We both know she can do better than you regardless of Garrett. But to answer your question, yeah. They are pretty damn serious. Probably gonna be havin some vampire babies pretty soon. So chill okay? If you really love her, let her be. She can do better, can’t she?”

He didn’t say anything. Maybe he thought it was a hypothetical question.

“Eddie? Answer me.” I told him.

“You are right. I won’t bother her again.”

‘There’s a good boy. I knew you had a brain. Take care of yourself.”

I ended the call before he could say something stupid. Huh. You know just for giggles let’s see what is goin on at Casa de Cullen.

I flipped the satellite to the one tracking their location. Zoom in. Yep. There he goes. Runnin out the house. I wonder if he is cryin? I bet he is. Damn that mother fucker can run fast. Real gangsta’s don’t run from shit cause real gangstas can’t run fast. Except me. I’m one fast G.

That reminds me. It’s nearly time for Bella’s rapping lesson. I don’t hear anymore fighting. Nope. She just moaned. Shit Garrett needs to take it easy. He says she has to be prepared. But the girl is tryin. He ain’t gotta treat her like a tacklin dummy.

Uh oh. Eddie is throwin trees. The Forest service ain’t gonna be happy about that shit. Now he was on the ground with his face buried in his hands. Ahhh. Poor baby.

Fuck you cock sucker. Motherfucker wrecked her life and thinks he got a chance. That bitch calls again I’m usin some vacation time to go cool that fucker.

Shit, Bella just fucking moaned again. If Garrett kicked her in the stomach I’m gonna twist his insides in and out.

I sauntered over to the training room and hit the button to open the door. Damn what kind of training is… oh shit. Hit the button Ty. Hit the close button. Where the fuck is tha… there it is. The door done shut. Damn. I don’t think they even noticed. I guess I wasn’t that far off on the whole vampire baby thing.

Bella POV

“Damn it!”

I was on my ass again.

“You are thinking too much. When you are in a fight you should flow. You should be a weapon. Not wondering if you should kick or punch. It takes a split second. Read and react. Every time. Without thinking about it.”

I hopped to my feet and attacked again. I ran at him thinking I could hit him before he could react.

I took a boot in the face. Size ten I think.

I stayed on my back this time.

“Are you okay?” He was next to me. He looked worried. Could have been worried before you planted a boot in my face.

“I’m sorry Bella. I thought you would see it coming.”

I sat up and dropped my head.

“I thought I would have seen it coming too.” I whispered.

Garrett kissed my cheek. It sent a slight shiver up my spine. Since Florida I think the two of us have gotten closer. Since we kissed. We had kissed since then as well. A lot. But nothing else had happened. I sort of figured that it would. But he was waiting. He was waiting for me to make the move that took us to the next level. From the simple love we had to something more serious. I wanted to take my time. I wanted us to take our time. We had plenty of time. Still though. I was with him 24/7 literally. Normal people would go nuts being around the same person all the time. Not me. He was like a drug. A drug I couldn’t get enough of. He was my addiction.

I turned my head and caught his lips before he pulled back. I kissed him gently. Too gently for my taste. I need to consume him. I grabbed the back of his head and pulled him to me. Our lips touched and I could feel the venom in my blood stream responding. My skin became more sensitive. I felt warmer. My nipples hardened against my sports bra to the point that I thought they would burst if they were touched.

I started taking deep breaths, inhaling as much of his scent as I could. He buried his face in my hair.

I was only wearing a sports bra and yoga pants. It was what I usually trained in. He had on only low cut blue stone washed blue jeans and that dagger chain he wore constantly. He moved to kiss me again and I stopped him. Our eyes met.

“What?” He grinned.

“It’s time Garrett.”

“It’s time?” He looked confused. Then he got it.

“You mean it’s time for…”

“I love you. I want to make love to you. I have no idea if I will be any good at this but I want to make love to you.”

He stared at me so intently.

“I love you.” He whispered.

“I know.”

“Just the two of us?”

“I’m yours if you want me.” I told him honestly.

“I’ve never wanted anything more in my life.”

I lay back on the training mat. It was comfortable and I spent a lot of time during training lying on it.

“Here?” he smiled.

“Yep.” I raised my hands over my head and he needed no invitation. His hands unwrapped my bra from my body and he saw my breasts for the first time.

I closed my eyes. Only Jake had seen me like this. It seemed a lifetime ago. I suppose it was. Even then I was too caught up in the moment to think about what I was doing. But I was thinking about this. Despite my confidence in my body I was nervous. I didn’t know how he would react.

“Open your eyes.” He whispered.

Once again I came out of the darkness to find him looking at me. He grinned.

“Look at me. You are beautiful. You are everything I have ever dreamed of. Never turn your eyes away from me.”

I nodded and watched him like he wanted. I watched his lips brush my nipples. His tongue traced them one at a time. His fingers massaged my breasts firmly. I moaned. I thought I heard voices talking in the distance. Must be Ty. Who the hell would he be talk…

Oh God he just pressed his thumb to my pussy. He was rubbing me through my pants. His whole hand was there now rubbing back and forth. I could smell my arousal and I knew he could as well. He looked up from nibbling on my nipple. His eyes were no longer red. They were black. Deep black. I would bet mine were as well.

His fingers just gripped the top of my pants and began sliding them down. His fingers had my panties as well. I raised my ass to help him pull them off. His head dipped between my legs. Oh damn.

What is he… what is he… Oh shit! Oh damn that felt good. Now his fingers were… oh God. His tongue… right there. Oh yes please more. Yes… I have never had that done to me. Never. Oh wow. Oh… what is his thumb doing? Oh! That. Yeah. That’s it.

I lost myself. Embarrassment was gone. I grabbed one of my tits with one hand and grabbed his hair with the other and pushed him harder into my pussy. I wanted to tell him more but all I could do was moan. Oh there goes his tongue on my… yes! Oh wow. Just… oh wow.

He stopped.

I whimpered. Until I saw what he was doing. He stood up and unzipped his jeans. His cock fell out. He was hard. Hard and long and thick enough that there was no way it was going to stay upright. It looked… heavy.

A growl started in my stomach and rose. I sat up and wrapped my fingers on his slender hips. I had never done this before. But I knew enough. I had read things. Since I had been spending most of the time in Garrett’s room I had been spending my private time doing research on my laptop. It was good practice for my… typing skills.

I shot to my knees and knelt before him. With one hand I grabbed his shaft and with the other I grabbed his balls. I drew him to me.

He was so warm and smooth. I never really had a chance to see Jake’s. But I saw Garrett’s. It was right in front of me.

I hesitantly stuck my tongue out and touched the tip. He moaned.

Something about that moan gave me confidence. I could affect him. I moved with more of a purpose stroking him.

“Bella.” He moaned my name. What a fucking rush. It was time to return the favor. I didn’t want to think about this. I would screw it up. I just did it.

His cock was in my throat. I couldn’t breathe. I momentarily panicked but remembered I didn’t need to breathe.

He was though. He was breathing very heavily. I began bobbing my head back and forth. When I saw this on video I didn’t think it looked very fun but I have to admit the power I was feeling. Making him buck his hips. Watching his face. I looked up as I pulled him out of my mouth. He met my eyes and I licked the length of his shaft. God the taste of his skin drove me wild. He just growled.

He lifted me by my shoulders and moved me to the floor. Flat on my back. He looked feral.

“Garrett?”

“Yes?”

“You okay?”

“Never better.” He spread my legs with his hand and entered me so quickly I almost missed it. But I felt it. He lay on top of me flush, kissing my lips, parting my lips with his tongue, driving it into me. His cock filled me so completely. I remembered having sex with Jake but I could never remember the sensations. The overwhelming fullness and electricity I was feeling now. I locked my legs around him and held on to him. If I could I would melt into him.

His hands grabbed my hips. I couldn’t even move. I grabbed his head and held on. I was completely in his control. He could do what he wanted with me and I never felt more free.

“I’m never letting you go. You are mine.” He whispered in my ear.

“I know.” I knew it when I first saw him.

“Say it.” He growled.

“I’m yours.”

“I’m your’s too.” He breathed into my ear.

“I know.” I told him. He slid in and out of me faster. I felt a pressure build in me I had never felt before. My toes warmed. My legs shivered. I gripped his hips with my feet and ground myself as closely as I could. Something came over me. My body exploded in euphoria and I nearly blacked out.

He roared. His body collapsed on me. I ran my fingers through his hair while taking deep breaths. He was still in me. Still hard. I could feel his cum leaking out of me around him.

“Garrett?”

“Yeah?”

“That was…”

“Yeah.” He agreed.

“Can we keep going?” I asked.

“Yep.”

“Okay.” Because I really didn’t want to stop.

“Bella?”

“Yeah?”

“I think I bit you.”

“Oh… okay. I’m pretty sure I bit you too. Was that bad?”

“No! No… that was… great. Just wanted to make sure you were good with it.”

“Yeah. No I’m definitely good with it. Did I do it right?”

“Yeah, no you were great. Very… I love you.”

“I love you Garrett.”

“Okay. Just wanted to make sure. I wouldn’t hold you to anything you might say in the throws of passion but I meant it. You are mine… I hope?”

“Yeah. I’m yours.” I giggled. He could be so cocky and then sound so unsure of himself. Mostly just when it came to me. He needed to be sure.

He finally pulled his face out of my hair and smiled. He kissed me slowly but with passion. I could stay like this forever and be hap…

“Hey Garrett? Bella? If you two are done training could ya’ll come on out here?” Ty asked.

“Yeah. Be right out.” I said quietly. I suppose Ty knows we weren’t training.

Garrett pulled out of me and I moaned. I missed the feel of him already. He helped me to my feet and I let him. We got dressed watching each other.

Walking out of the training room I figured I would find out what the hell Ty wanted then make the difficult decision of whether to go to my room or Garrett’s. Maybe we could have one room.

Ty looked concerned. I tried not to bite my bottom lip and failed miserably.

“Ya’ll done? Just cause I was trying to figure out how I’m gonna train in there since the smell of ya’lls bumpin gonna linger.”

“That’s why you called us?” Garrett asked, sounding as annoyed as I felt. I just got laid for the second time in my life and I would like to move on to the third, fourth and fifth.

“Nah. Uh, the big guy wants to meet with Bella. He has a mission for her apparently. Says he needs to talk to her personally.”

“The good General does not give Bella assignments or missions or anything else. If he wants to talk to her he can…”

“Not the big guy I’m talking about Gar.” Ty said.

“You mean?”

“Yeah. I mean.”

“What are we talking about? Who is the big guy?” I asked, frustrated.

It was Garrett who answered me.

“Apparently Bella, the President of the United States has a mission he would like you to undertake. Of course you are under no obligation to take it…”

“No. If he… if he wants to take the chance of seeing me then it must be important. We should go.”

I suppose the third time would have to wait.
