Chapter 11:

Surprises

One week. One fucking week and he hadn’t bothered to call me at all. I had left him several messages and even sent some texts, and nothing. To say I was pissed was an understatement. I found myself down at the batting cages hitting the hell out of some balls to relieve some anger and tension. It wasn’t working. I was missing more than I was hitting.

“Open your stance and you’ll hit more.”

I whirled at the voice and smiled when I saw Caius behind me. “Thanks. What are you doing down here?”

“I was gonna practice my swing, but I think that you’re gonna be here a while. Something wrong?”

I shook my head. “Nothing I can’t deal with.”

“Are you sure? Bella, you look like you haven’t slept in days. I’ve never seen you like this before.”

“I’m fine, Uncle Caius.” That’s right. My uncle is the pitching coach for the team. He is my mother’s brother. The only member of the family that stuck around when my mom took off. I don’t think he’s ever heard from her either.

“Alright, sweetie. You know where I am if you need to talk.” I nodded and watched him walk away. I knew he was heading down to practice, so I decided to head down and watch to see what was going on.

I entered the stadium area and sat down in the wives section, behind the dugout. I could hear Sam yelling and watched as Edward flubbed the ball.

“Come on, Cullen; get your head out of the fucking clouds!”

I sat back and observed quietly. Edward tanked several other plays until Sam pulled him from practice and told him to hit the showers. That’s when I decided to play owner and find out what the hell was going on.

“Sam!” I hollered and waved him over when he looked at me.

“Hey, Bella. Haven’t seen you lately. What’s up?”

“How long has he been playing like this, Sam?” Knowing he would know who I was referring to.

“About a week. You guys alright?” Sam knew Edward and I were involved, but never said anything.

“No. We had a fight last week and now he won’t talk to me. Do me a favor; send him to my office when he’s dressed. Alright?”

“You got it boss.” Sam smirked.

I chuckled and headed up to my office to await the confrontation that was overdue.

One week. It had been one week since I walked out on the love of my life. I hadn’t meant what I said, but I was hurt. Then she tells me I’m acting like a child. She was probably right, but that wasn’t what I needed to hear, so I left before I could say anything else I would regret.

Now my game was going to shit. Sam knew something was up, but that didn’t mean that he had to tolerate it. When he sent me to the showers I was pissed. I think I even knocked out a light bulb on the walkway to the locker room.

I hadn’t called her. She had called me dozens of times. She had texted me as well. I don’t know why I was acting like this. She had made her feelings perfectly clear. She wasn’t telling me no, just not right now. It was unbelievable how much that had hurt. It was like she was telling me she didn’t trust me. I knew Bella was inexperienced, but I was willing to wait for her to be ready. I just wanted to hold her…every night. I love Bella, she’s it for me.

“Cullen!”

I walked around the corner of the showers with a towel wrapped around my waist and came face to face with Sam. “Yeah?”

“Miss Swan wants to see you in her office when you’re done in here.”

Summoning me to her now. “Great.” I said sarcastically.

“Come on, Edward. She was at practice today, she saw how you played.” I just nodded and went to get dressed.

This could only get worse.

I paced my office in anticipation. I knew I had to be all business like, but I didn’t want to have to reprimand Edward. He was playing like shit, but I’m sure it was my fault.

A knock on the door broke me from my thoughts. “Come in.”

Edward poked his head around the corner. “You wanted to see me?”

So, that’s how it was gonna be. “Yes, please have a seat.” I watched as the man I love came in and sat down, looking at me callously. I shivered under the weight of his stare. “I’ve been watching you play and practice and I have to say I’m disappointed. You have the potential to go far in this league and this club, but not if you don’t pull your head out of your ass and start playing the way I know you can.”

“Excuse me? Who do you think you are?” Edward spat.

“I am the owner of this ball club. There are certain standards that must be upheld. If you can’t or won’t start playing better, I will have you benched and recruit someone who will play.” I tried to keep the emotion out of my voice, but inside my heart was breaking.

“Whatever you say, Miss Swan,” Edward replied snidely. “Are we done?” I didn’t miss the double meaning behind his words.

I just nodded, not trusting my voice. I watched him get up and stroll easily out the door and out of my life. Only when I heard the door click shut did I succumb to my tears.

Shutting the door behind me felt so final. I understand I have been playing like shit, but it’s only because I miss her so much. Bella was/is my best friend. I sank to the floor and put my head in my hands. How did things get so out of control so fast?

I let my tears fall as I thought of never having Bella in my life. I leaned my head back against the door and just sat thinking. I heard a faint noise coming through the door and wondered if Bella was as heartbroken as I was. I had to know.

I stood slowly and turned the knob on the door. I eased it open and peeked around the side. My heart broke more at the sight before me.

Bella had her head in her hands as her shoulders shook from the force of her sobs. I couldn’t take it. I rushed to her side and pulled her from the chair and into my arms.

“Baby, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it. I love you. I’m so fucking sorry.” I repeated over and over.

Bella wrapped her arms around me and clung to me. I picked her up and she wrapped her legs around my waist. I walked us to the couch and sat with her in my lap. I kissed her hair, her neck, her cheek. Anything I could reach. Bella leaned away from me and my heart broke a little more at her tear stained face.

“I’m sorry, baby. Please say something.” I pleaded.

“Don’t ever do that to me again, Edward Anthony Cullen. I love you, so much.” She cried.

I just nodded and pulled her down to meet my mouth. I gently place my lips to hers, but the feel of her lips after so long was too much. I quickly deepened the kiss. The touch of her tongue to mine was like heaven. Her hands were fisted in my hair as I ran mine up her back and sides, eliciting a moan when I grazed the sides of her breasts.

We broke apart when the need for oxygen became an issue. My lips never left her body as I attacked her neck with frenzied motions. Licks, bites and sucks, making her writhe in my lap.

“Edward…” Bella moaned my name, before fusing her mouth back to mine.

I could feel the heat from her center as she rocked her hips across my hard length. “Bella…” I broke my mouth from hers. “We need to stop.”

“No.” She brought my mouth back to hers. “Touch me.” She said against my lips.

I flipped us on the couch so she lay beneath me. As my mouth was against hers, my hands became familiar with her body. I found the edge of her shirt and lifted it over her head, bringing my mouth back to hers as I tossed it across the office. I cupped her breast in my hand and brushed my thumb across her nipple, causing it to harden and Bella to moan.

I had to taste her. I wrenched my mouth from hers and left a path down to her hardened peaks. I pulled the cup of her bra away, to reveal her pink bud, before I sucked it into my mouth. Bella arched her back below me and fisted her hands in my hair to hold me where she wanted me. I moved to the other side, while my hand trailed to the waistband of her sweats. I slowly slipped inside.

I removed my mouth from Bella’s perfect flesh, to meet her gaze. She nodded her head and I continued my path to her center. I parted her folds and found her wet and ready. I spread her juices around and flicked her clit. Bella jerked in reaction to my ministrations. I brought my mouth back to hers as I circled her little bundle of nerves. I slid one finger in her and caught her moan in my mouth. I continued to rub her nub with my thumb as I inserted another finger. Bella was moving her hips in time with my movements and as her moans grew louder, my strokes grew faster.

“Oh…Edward…” Bella moaned.

“Come on, baby. Come for me.” I said as I pressed harder and stroked faster. I felt her walls clench around my fingers as she came undone.

“Edward!”

“That’s it, baby.” I stroked her until she was thrashing and begging me to stop. I removed my hand from her pants and held her as her tremors stopped and her breathing returned to normal.

“Edward, that was amazing.”

I chuckled, before I kissed her lips. “I’m glad you enjoyed yourself.”

“What about you? Should I…” she blushed.

“I’ll be fine, this was about you. I love you, Bella.”

She smiled, “I love you, too. Let’s go home.”

I smiled at her words. I helped her get her shirt, never realizing the door was cracked and we were being watched.
