A Good Thing

Chapter 07:

BPOV

I walked up and down the aisles at the grocery store, putting items in the cart. I wasn’t really paying attention, instead I was thinking about the argument with Edward from a couple days ago. I was so engrossed in my thoughts I wasn’t paying attention and rammed my cart into the man in front of me.

“Oh, God! I am so sorry.” I said, as I helped him pick up the boxes he had dropped.

He looked up at me with piercing blue eyes, “It’s fine.”

I couldn’t look away from his beautiful eyes and he flashed me a bright smile. His teeth were perfectly straight and white. I was mesmerized. “I’m still sorry. I wasn’t paying attention to where I was going.”

“Apology accepted. I’m Garrett.” He extended his hand toward me.

I took his hand in mine, “Bella.”

“Well, Bella. I know we just met, but would you like to join me for a cup of coffee?” He smiled that disarming smile again.

“Sure. Let me finish my shopping and I can meet you somewhere.”

Garrett suggested a little coffee shop around the corner and I agreed to meet him there in an hour. I finished shopping, loaded everything into my old truck, and then headed to my house. I made quick work of putting everything away, and ran upstairs to fix my hair and makeup. I didn’t want to look like I was trying too hard so I thought changing my clothes would be a bit much.

“Alice!” I called as I came out in the hallway.

The pixie peaked her head around the side of her door, “What’s up?”

“I am going out for coffee. I’ll be back in a couple of hours.”

“Who are you going with?”

“I met a guy, his name is Garrett.” I told her where I would be and then left.

I got to the coffee shop and saw Garrett already at a table. I waved and went to the counter to place my order. The guy said they would bring it out to me and I moved to sit down.

“I wasn’t sure you were coming.” Garrett smiled.

“I said I would. I just had to tell my roommate where I was going.” I smiled back. “Tell me about yourself.” I said as our coffees arrived.

Over the course of the next hour I learned that Garrett was a lawyer and owned his own firm. He and his partner, Kate, handled mostly divorces but did a few other different kinds of cases as well. He said he had handled a couple of adoptions and was looking to expand their case load. I told him that I had recently graduated college and had been unable to find anything in my field of study so I had joined my brother’s band.

“Really? I would love to come hear you play.”

“We play every Saturday night at Twilight. You should come hear us then.” I looked at my watch and realized I had to get to rehearsal. “I really enjoyed talking to you. Give me your phone,” I programmed my number into it and sent a text to mine. “Maybe I’ll see you at the club Saturday.” 

He stood and walked me to the door. “I will definitely call you and I will be there Saturday. I enjoyed meeting you, Bella.” He leaned in and kissed my cheek before turning and strolling up the sidewalk.

I walked to my truck and drove home. I had barely pulled in the driveway when Emmett was coming at me. “What are you thinking, Isabella Marie? You don’t just go have coffee with some guy you just met. Have I not taught you anything?”

I moved past him and walked toward the door. “Chill out, Em. He’s harmless.” I opened the door and was met by all of my roommates sitting with their arms crossed looking at me. “What? Is this an intervention?” I turned to look at my brother.

“Does it need to be? You really had me worried. When Alice told me you had met some guy and were having coffee with him I just about lost my mind. You don’t know anything about this guy. He could have been a serial killer for Pete’s sake.”

“Emmett, calm down. He’s not a serial killer, he’s an attorney. His name is Garrett Blake, thirty years old, never been married, no children and is really nice.”

Jasper intervened before Em could say anything else. “Garrett Blake? Of Blake and Denali?”

“Yeah, so?” I said. Jasper looked at Edward and then back at me. “What’s going on Jazz?”

Jasper sighed, “Garrett’s’ partner is Kate Denali.” I looked at him like that was supposed to mean something.

Edward sighed, “Kate is Tanya’s sister.”

“And?” I was trying to figure out what that meant.

Rosalie spoke up next. “Tanya? The girl that Edward was fucking this past weekend. They think it might have been a set-up.”

What they were getting at finally registered. “Oh, I see. Well, let me just put your minds at ease. I slammed my grocery cart into Garrett at the store today. I really don’t think I was being followed. Why would they bother? It’s not like there is anything going on between me and Edward. We’re roommates for the love of Pete. Unless there is something I don’t know. Is there something I don’t know? Edward?” I looked at him dead in the eye.

I watched him swallow and take a breath, “No, nothing is going on. Can we rehearse now?” He got up and walked into the garage. Everyone paused a moment and then followed him. It was going to be an interesting practice.

The days leading up to Saturday were going to drive me crazy. Bella had gone on another date with the tool. This time he had come to the house and introduced himself to everyone. When Bella had come in the room, I almost choked on my beer. She was radiant. She was wearing a blue dress that hit just above her knees and plunged into a V at the neck. Her hair was in waves down her back. Even now, three days later, I couldn’t get her out of my mind.

I was sitting at the kitchen table going over some lyrics when I heard laughter from the living room. I turned just in time to see Bella and the tool come in the kitchen.

“Oh, sorry. Are we disturbing you?” Bella asked. I just smiled and shook my head. I didn’t trust myself to speak.

“Seriously, man. We can go somewhere else.” Garrett, the tool, said.

I just looked at them. “Don’t you ever work? For an attorney you seem to have an awful lot of free time.”

Bella gasped. “Edward!”

“Don’t worry about it, Bella. Edward here is just marking his territory. Aren’t you?” Garrett challenged.

“Listen, Blake, I don’t know you, but I don’t like you. So get the fuck out of my house!” I got in his face.

“EDWARD!” I turned to see Emmett come in the room. I looked around and saw Bella staring at me with tears in her eyes. I hung my head down and went upstairs. I slammed my door and turned on my stereo, flopping down on the bed.

My door flew open and in walked a very angry Bella. “What the fuck was that? How dare you treat a guest like that, Edward? You had no right!”

“I have every right, this is my house. Get over it, Bella. I don’t like the guy and think you can do better. You need to stop bringing him around.” I didn’t see the slap coming until I felt the sting of her hand across my cheek.

“Who the hell do you think you are? What gives you the right to tell me who I can and cannot date? You are not my father or my brother. Hell, you’re not even my boyfriend! Why are you acting like this?”

Had I known what I was going to do next, I would have stopped myself. “You wanna know why? I’ll tell you why!” I had barely finished my words when I cashed my mouth down on hers. I put every ounce of feeling I had into that kiss. I grabbed her roughly and backed us up against the wall, shoving my tongue through her lips. I barely noticed when she stopped fighting and started kissing me back.

I pulled away breathlessly and looked into Bella’s eyes. They were dark with something I thought was lust, but could have been wishful thinking. I moved my eyes to her mouth, saw her swollen bruised lips and backed away slowly. I ran my hands through my hair and sank to my bed. “Wow, Bella…I…I’m so sorry. I shouldn’t have done that.”

“Edward. What…why did…?” She was at a loss for words. I watched her slide down my wall to sit on the floor. She brought her hand up and touched her lips. I wish I knew what she was thinking.

“Bella?” No answer. “Bella? Are you okay?” I got up and kneeled in front of her. She looked up at me with eyes that were wide. Before I could brace myself, she was fusing her lips to mine. I wrapped my arms around her as we fell to the floor. All I could think was Bella was kissing me of her own free will. I broke the kiss long enough for me to stand and pull her up with me. I kicked the door shut as I molded my lips back to hers.

I backed us up until I hit the bed with the back of my knees and pulled us down with Bella on top of me. I loved the feel of her weight on me, but it made it hard to hide my erection from her. I rolled us until she was on her back and I was laying along side of her. All the while our tongues were battling for dominance.

As quickly as the frenzy began, it changed and we slowed down, getting to know each others bodies. I slowly trailed my fingers down her side and heard her moan. I continued down to the hem of her shirt and slowly raised it, trailing my fingers over her naked stomach. I finally cupped her breast and swept my thumb over her nipple, feeling it pebble under my touch. Bella moaned against my mouth.

I pulled away from her to trail kisses along her jaw and down her neck. I reached the nape of her neck and started sucking and biting it. I felt Bella’s fingers on the buttons of my shirt and leaned back to give her better access. Grabbing the bottom of her shirt, I tugged letting her know I wanted it off of her body. I removed the rest of mine as she pulled her shirt over her head. Our mouths fused back together immediately. When oxygen was required, I again trailed my lips down her jaw and licked my way down her neck. I eased one of her bra straps off her shoulder and left a trail down to her breast. I pulled the cup down, taking the hard peak into my mouth and flicked it with my tongue, eliciting a moan from Bella. Her hands came up and pressed my head closer to her body. Her bra clasp was in the front and, with a flick of my wrist, I released both of her creamy breasts. Turning my head, I gave the other one the same attention.

“Edward…” Bella moaned.

My fingers flowed down her belly to the fasten of her jeans. I popped it open and slowly lowered her zipper. My fingers grazed the top of her panties before slipping inside. I stopped and looked at Bella, making sure this was okay. I was only going to continue if we were both into this. “Bella, look at me. Are you sure?”

The only answer I got was Bella pushing my hand further down. Before I got all the way in, I pulled my hand out and grabbed her jeans to take them off of her. She lifted her hips, allowing me to pull them off, taking her panties with them. I looked at the naked beauty before me, creamy skin, with a pink hue, from head to toe.

I was naked on Edward’s bed. How did I get here and did I really care? I looked up at the man I had crushed on for as along as I can remember. Before I could question it I took his face in my hands and brought his mouth back to mine. I licked his lower lip and was granted access to his tongue. We again began dueling for dominance. I released his face but continued to kiss him as I brought my hands down to his waist, continuing to the front of his jeans. I released the buttons all the way down his fly, my hand brushing against his hard length. He moaned around my mouth. I pushed until his pants were low on his hips and could reach my arms down anymore. Edward quickly shed them the rest of the way, never removing his mouth from mine.

I felt his hard shaft against me and moved a little causing friction. “Bella…” He moaned. His hand came back to the juncture of my thighs and kept going. I felt his warm fingers parting my folds, finding my little bundle of nerves. “You’re so wet.”

“Edward..please!” I begged. It was sweet torture, he pinched and rubbed bringing me to the brink and back again. I could feel my orgasm building as he inserted one finger and pressed on my clit with his thumb. He slowly stretched me, inserting another finger. I was panting as he played me like a guitar.

“Cum for me, baby,” he said as he curled a finger inside me and pressed harder on my clit.

The orgasm started in my belly and his name fell from lips upon my release. “Edward!”

His name was barely off my lips when I heard the distinct sound of a condom wrapper being opened. I opened my eyes, watching as Edward unwrapped and rolled the condom onto his engorged cock.

“Bella? Look at me, sweetheart.”

I looked into his emerald eyes as he positioned himself at my entrance. I watched his eyes close as he slowly pushed into me. Once he was fully seated in my heat, he paused allowing me to adjust to his size. When I was ready, I lifted my hips and he groaned. He started to slowly thrust in and out. The friction slowly built as I met him thrust for thrust.

“Ahh, Bella. You’re so tight.” Edward panted.

“Ugh…Edward…so close!” Every motion was bringing me closer to the edge.

“Cum with me, baby.” I felt my walls tighten, as Edward thrust one last time before joining me over the edge. Edward rolled off of me and we lay there for a moment panting before either of us could move.

Edward pulled me to his side and I laid my head in the crook of his shoulder. I couldn’t believe what had just transpired. I felt his lips brush my hair and raised my face to look at him.

“I’m not sorry, Edward, if that’s what you’re looking for.”

“I wasn’t looking for regrets, Bella. I just don’t want you to think that I was an asshole just to get you in my bed.”

“No regrets.” I curled into his side and drifted to sleep.
