six hours

41: Wheels

I woke up to the smell of breakfast that was being cooked in the kitchen, felling the bed with my hands and noticing that Edward was not on the bed, I felt cold, my naked body was positioned right in the middle of the bed and the duvet cover gently kissing my body.

A smile grow on my face as I remembered last night, I felt rejuvenated, I quickly jumped out of the bed and rushed to the shower, bathed and applied my own body cream, as my hands travel around my body, I remembered how Edward squeezed every part of it, that when I realised how painful my body was, it is as if I did aerobatics for ten hours even though we were at it for three hours only, I looked in the mirror and noticed how he left his marks on me.

My skin was red from my neck to my breast, him handprint could be seen on my arms and my thighs, it was painful but the pain made me happy, it was a happy pain, I am glad it was winter because I could cover up, I felt like a college girl who after a wild party realised that she slept with her crush, I smiled at every thought.

I was happy.

I quickly finished dolling up and went downstairs where everyone was, " bonjour ma belle, come sit down and have breakfast" tante Marie said in a cheerful tone, I sat down next to Edward and the awkwardness in me was arising, this was part two of the college love story, seeing Edward made me feel weird, like finally seeing your crush at the college and remembering everything, I felt sick, " Mes enfants,did you sleep well?, I hope it wasn't too cold" Tante Marie said as she passed the sugar to Ash.

" Nah. mama, we slept well" Cris answered as he placed his arm around Ash and winked at her, Tante Marie then turned to me and Edward, expecting an answer, " we had the warmest night since long time" Edward said and I slowed my tea quickly resulting me to chock, Tante Marie quickly brought me water and soon my breathing pipe was cleared, Edward smirked at me, " thanks for the best heating system, ma Tante" Edward continued.

Tante Marie smiled and continued to eat, then she said, " I bless you all with a long long life and many children" as she applied butter on her bread, " well I have something to say" Ash said as she looked at Cris, they both smiled and said together, " we are pregnant, we are expecting a baby" as they smiled like newly wedded brides on their wedding night.

" ASH AND CRIS, congratulations mes enfants" she said as she stood up and hugged them, Edward and I did the something and were overjoyed for them, " I will throw a party to celebrate this" tante Marie said, " mama, Cris and I are fine like this, we want your love only, no parties" Ash said as Cris nodded in agreement, tante Marie smiled and sat down on her chair, " only seven months in your marriage and you make me grand-mama" tante Marie said with joy.

" Now, the only people who needs to keep up is Mr and Mrs Edward Romano" Cris said playfully and everyone laughed, " meaning?" Edward asked, " it obvious, I want grandchildren from you too" tante Marie said, " Ash is giving you one, be happy" I said, " mama, what Nora means is that, she will added two more to your collection of grand kiddies " she said as everyone laughed including Edward.

" Now for the bad news, we will be leaving later in the day" Cris said, "it ok mes enfants, I'm glad my home was your nest of love but I'm keeping foxy, the old girl and I are friends" tante Marie said, I nodded in agreement and Edward squeezed my thighs from underneath the table, making me feel embarrassed, and just like that he was back at his old tricks.

The rest of the day was spent with everyone laughing, mocking, playing board games and trying to annoy the closest person, also I tried my best to stay away from Edward but impossible because he was always somewhere, the bedroom, the kitchen, the closet and even the attic, but at the end of the day, I was happy and left ma Tante Marie's house with joy.

We arrived at the Romanos family mansion in the evening, and I don't remember how I got to my room but when I woke up, it was midnight and Edward was no where to be found, I sat up straight on the bed and took my phone, I was about to text him when a shadow appeared at the window, it moved slowly and I thought that a ghost come to visit me.

"Gh-ghost-ghost" I said quietly, I was about to shout when a hand blocked my mouth, making me not shout, I knew that someone was in my room and Edward was not here, I was domed, "I'm going to remove my hand now, don't make a sound" a voice said, it was Edward's voice, I nodded in agreement and he let go of me, walked to the closet and then come back, " you can talk now as loud as you want, I have soundproof the room " he said as he took off his jacket.

" Where were you?" I asked with anger, Edward didn't reply, he walked to the bathroom and locked the door, that was first, he never does that, ten minutes later he come out wrapped in a towel, he walked to the closet again and come out with sweatpants on and no shirt, he then climbed on the bed, pulled me closer to him, covered us with the thick duvet cover and dozed off, I felt like his teddy bear, a giant teddy bear, it was no use to talk or try to argue, Edward seemed tired and wanted to sleep, and so I did, after all, the warmth from his body was enough for me.

Even though he was asleep, his grip on me was tightened, as if he wanted me, his strong arms around me made me feel safe and secured, I don't remember how and when it happened but my views on Edward changed, I don't know if it because I have accepted our relationship or because I was one with him, I could see his gentle side but then he always showed me his gentle side but I was blinded by anger and hatred for him that I didn't see his gentle side.

" Stop thinking and sleep, we have alot to do tomorrow" Edward said gently as he tightened his grip around me, " I'm sleeping and also, I can't breathe " I said to him as I wiggle my body, creating a small space between us, I don't know but I felt like these were the good days before the bad days, but I didn't care much, because I had a relationship to rebuild.

Could I be falling in love with Edward again or was I lying to myself to satisfy my lust for him?.
