Heartbeat pounding away {sequel to 'I.U.F'}

“Were we too loud?” Ella asked as she cuddled next to Edward on the couch in her dressing room.

“A tad, but who cares.” Edward kisses her cheek.

“How are things at Forks?”

“Well, Jacob and Bella are good.”

“Oh, good.”

“Embry has imprinted.”

Ella looks at Edward.

“With who?”

“A girl that just moved her name is Norma.”

“When did it happen?” Ella was so happy for Embry.

“About… three days ago, not too long ago, shortly after you left.”

“I’m so happy for him. He’s a good kisser too, lucky girl.”

“And how would you know he’s a good kisser?” Edward sort of hissed.

Ella giggles. “Don’t be mad, he’s not as good as you… well… now that I think about it, I’m joking. No one can make me feel as good as you do when you kiss me.” She kisses him.

“ELLA, WE’RE ON!” Josh yelled from the door.

“COMING!” She yelled.

“NOW! What the fuck are you doing?”

“My boyfriend!” She yells back.

“WHAT?!” He roars. “Edward is there… with you?” He asks softly.

Ella gets up and puts on her clothes and so does Edward. Edward only puts on his jeans. Ella opens the door she was fully clothed. Josh scans the room and winces when he sees Edward.

[Fuck! He must work out.] Josh thought.

“Edward.” Josh nodded shortly and turned back to Ella. “Your bra strap is down.” Josh pointed and Ella giggles.

She pulls it back.

“We’re on in five.” He says and walks away. “Oh, happy birthday.”

“Thanks, Josh.”

She closes the door. She turns to Edward with her arms crossed.

“Did you really need to be shirtless?”

Edward laughs.

“It was really funny.” He says as he pulls on his shirt.

“It’s not nice to show around the goods and bring people’s self-esteem down.”

“All right, I won’t do it anymore. He still likes you.”

“He needs to get over me, because nothing is ever going to happen.” She says and Edward smiles.

“It’s good to know that you’re mine.”

She scoffs.

“You know what I mean.”

“Yeah, I know. I have to go. I was supposed to be warming up my voice.”

Edward smirks.

[So that screaming wasn’t practice?]

“Jeez, you’re a perv.” She laughed. “Who would’ve ever thought that the Edward Cullen, so poised and nice had such a pervert mind?”

His smirk turns into a grin.

“You bring out the animal inside of me.”

“So cliché.” She scoffs.

“I did see those initials on your chest; you’re saying that’s not cliché?”
