Ch 3: Dinner at The Swan's
Edward stayed at the house all day Friday since Thursday had been a long day. He did some laundry, and a bit of unpacking of the rest of his things. Charlie had called to confirm that Edward would be there for dinner. He took some time on his laptop and looked over his accounts, making sure everything was okay and then he sent an email to Jasper about meeting on Monday first thing in the morning.
Edward's watched beeped at him, telling him it was time to get ready for dinner at his friends home. He opted for stone-washed, dark jeans that hung lower on his hips. His button up shirt was left was left open to the neck, leaving a little bit of his chest exposed. He grabbed his black leather jacket since it was a casual dinner with friends and headed out the house.
Edward left a little early to pick up some wine for dinner and flowers for Renee, since it been a while he last saw her and Charlie. Besides, it was nice to always show up with a gift for the hostess. He pulled up in the Swan driveway and, although he and Charlie had been friends for years, Edward was a little nervous. Blowing out a breath, he walked up the front porch and rang the bell.
Charlie answered and he smiled at Edward. "Hey, buddy, it's good to see you! How have you been?" he asked, giving Edward a hug. Edward could feel Charlie's muscles and could tell he continued to worked out after he left college.
He still had his mustache, though it was trimmed and his hair was neatly styled. Charlie's build was stalky but yet muscular, too. Renee must have heard them coming in and she approached from the kitchen she came to greet Edward smiling the entire time.
"Oh, Edward it's good to see you again. You look great!" she gave him a hug as well.
"Thanks, you all look good too. It's been a while, hasn't it Charlie," Edward said with a smile.
"It sure has. Well come on in and make yourself comfortable." Charlie said inviting Edward further into the house more. Going into the living room Charlie told Edward to have a seat on the couch, which Edward did. Edward gave Renee the flowers and the wine she thanked him going into the kitchen leaving the gentleman to get reacquainted.
Edward put his right arm across the back of the couch as he and Charlie shot the breeze. They talked about old times, and what each has been up to in recent months. Then the question that Charlie always asked seemed to pop up.
"So, Edward, any wedding bells in your future?" Charlie wondered with a smile.
Although Edward wasn't against marriage per say, he just wasn't interested in it right now. Yeah he was thirty-five but he felt he still had a lot of living to do before settling down and having a family.
"I'm still too young to settle down," Edward replied, making Charlie chuckle and shake his head.
Charlie knew it was getting closer to dinner, when the oven timer beeped, so he hollered for his kids to come down and eat dinner. "Emmett and Isabella, it's almost time to eat, and we have company!"
Both kids shouted back that they'd be down in a minute.
"Emmett is on the football team this year, but lately his grades have been suffering so we told him more homework or no sports. Education, as you know, is very important. Isabella is a straight 'A' student, on the honor roll, and a is cheerleader," Charlie said, sounding like a proud father.
Soon, Emmett came down and Charlie introduced him to Edward.
"Em, this is one of my best friends, Edward Cullen. Edward this is my son, Emmett."
The two guys shook hands and Edward asked Emmett about football and suggested they could play together sometime.
Charlie heard some footsteps on the stairs, and knew his daughter was finally on her way down. Edward couldn't see her at first because Charlie was blocking his view. Once Bella came into her father's view, he saw she had pulled hair out of its ponytail but she was still wearing the short skirt and crop top that were her cheerleading uniform.
He scolded her, telling her she needs to start changing before dinner from now on. Edward chuckled because Charlie sure sounded like a father now.
When Bella came into Edward's view he sucked in some air. Surely she wasn't Charlie's little girl. Fuck was she gorgeous. Her eyes were dark brown pools of chocolate that were magnetically pulling him in under her spell. Her hair was light brown with gold highlights and fell just past her shoulders. The skirt and top she was wearing was enough to make Edward reach half mast in his pants.
Charlie introduced them. "Isabella, this is Edward Cullen, friend of mine. Edward this is my daughter, Isabella."
Edward looked at Charlie to make sure he heard right and realized that he had, but it was her voice got his attention.
"Nice to meet you, Edward," she said in a quiet voice reaching her hand out to shake his.
He took her hand in his and immediately felt a spark that went straight to his groin. Jesus, he couldn't be attracted to his best friend's daughter because Charlie would kick Edward's ass for sure. But Edward couldn't ignore that spark, in fact she must have felt it too because she gasped.
Both looked into each other's eyes and were lost. Edward knew he needed to speak, so he said, "Nice to meet you too, Isabella."
Fuck, even saying her name did certain things to him. Renee called out that dinner was ready, breaking the spell and they all went to the dining room to sit and eat..
They all took their seats around the table. It was a small table but they all managed to fit comfortable around it. Isabella sat almost directly across from Edward, between her dad and brother Emmett. Renee sat between Edward and Charlie.
Charlie asked Edward just exactly was he was working on here in Washington. Edward told him he was in control of financing, and advertising of the club he was opening.
He had just recently helped open a club in New York called Twilight. Edward mentioned it was the hippest club in Manhattan. Then he explained that the President wanted to open a new club in Seattle, and that was what he was working on right now.
"Wow, Edward," Charlie said, "sounds very interesting. I'm sure you're having no problem getting the ladies, huh?" He winked at Edward.
As soon as Charlie mentioned ladies, Isabella looked up and stared at Edward in wonder. He saw the look but answered Charlie's question with a nod. She quickly averted her eyes to hide the unexplainable hurt she felt and asked her mom for some more roast.
The conversation continued to focus on Edward until Renee announced it was dessert time. Edward politely declined saying he was stuffed. Then Renee per swayed Edward by saying, "Oh you must. This is something our precious Isabella made for her Home EC class, it was homework, she made two one for us and the other for her class. Its chocolate mousse pie and you will love it!"
"Mom, please!" Isabella replied shyly, hating the fuss her mom was making.
Edward looked her way and winked before he replied, "I would love to try your pie."
Are you kidding me, he thought. I would love to taste her pie, and then some. I bet she has some tasty crème of her own.
Shut up Edward that's your friend's daughter you're talking about, he was mentally scolding himself.
Edward ate the pie and loved it. "This is excellent, thanks for sharing, Isabella," he said winking at her again.
Bella blushed across the table and shyly replied, "Thank you Edward, that's nice of you to say."
Hmm, she thought. What's with Edward anyway? Bella's inner self was asking. Wow! He keeps winking at me every time I looked at him. Was he flirting?Surely he couldn't be. Nah, she decided, she's reading too much into that. After all they just met. Plus he is her father's friend.
Charlie speaking to Edward brought Isabella back to the present, "Say tomorrow night Em has his third game of the season and Isabella is cheering, so why don't you come by and watch the game with us and help cheer them on?"
Oh no! Did dad really ask Edward to come and watch Em play ball and me cheer? Fuck! He's so damn gorgeous I won't be able to concentrate on the cheers at all.
Renee cut in saying, "Charlie, Edward, could already have plans, after all its a Saturday night and all. I'm sure he has a date or something."
Edward hadn't been to a high school football game in years, but with Bella cheering, it might be fun. Seeing, Isabella in her cheering outfit, would be worth it as well. Plus, Charlie was giving Edward enough of an excuse to be around her again.
"Sure, I'd love to come and watch." Edward said looking at Isabella, and sending another wink in her direction.
Yeah I'd love to come alright, all over Isabella. Shut it you, that's your friend's daughter, he said internally scolding himself again.
After dessert, Renee and Isabella gathered up the dishes while Charlie, Emmett, and Edward went to watch some Friday night football on the television. Edward saw Renee leaving the kitchen, and head upstairs, so he told Charlie he was going to get a drink. Charlie nodded as Edward left the room, Charlie's eyes never left the screen.
When Edward walked into the kitchen he couldn't help but smile. He saw Isabella dancing and rinsing off the dishes. He was checking out her ass and hips, focused on the way she move to the music. He noticed she had an iPod on and hadn't heard his approach.
The refrigerator was right behind Bella, he knew most likely he'd bump into her when he went into it and that would get her attention. So he opened it, grabbed a beer moving backwards some as Bella looked behind herself and felt the bump he's intentionally given her. Edward smiled as she took her ear buds out greeting him with a blush.
"Hey, Edward, sorry I bumped into you." She was apologetic.
Edward popped the can open and had taken a sip before he replied, "No problem, it was my fault anyhow. So, how long have you been a cheerleader?"
Bella, who was standing in between the island and Edward backed up against the counter saying, "Since, junior high. I was also in gymnastics when I was younger, I guess I've always been into acrobatic sports."
Edward nodded to her, his eyes never leaving hers.
"I see. So you're in good shape then…and pretty bendy, huh?" his voice sounded husky even though he wasn't trying.
"Yeah, I guess so in a way. You have to be in good shape for cheerleading and all," she replied, moistening her lips and he averted his eyes to her mouth. Holding, the now empty can, Edward reached over some, getting closer to Bella since the trash can was just on the other side of her, He made a show of throwing the can in garbage before he focused on her.
He leaned even closer to her ear whispering, "I'll bet you're very flexible. I like flexibility in woman, especially in many different positions."
He heard her breath hitch as he pulled away.
Fuck! What the hell was I doing? She's fucking off limits, he thought again, but damn she is fucking too gorgeous for her own good.
Edward, started walking away toward the living but stopped and said, "See ya tomorrow, Isabella." He emphasized her name sending her a crooked smile before leaving the room.
He told Charlie he had better get going since it was getting late shortly after the interaction with Isabella in the kitchen. He also had to take care of some business before he went to bed.
Bella who was left in the kitchen let go of her breath that she had been holding. She wondered, was Edward coming on to me? Surely he wasn't. But he sure was leaving her some hints. She shrugged her shoulder and started the dishwasher before going to her room. She lay on her bed and couldn't stop thinking about Edward. The way he looked, the way he carried himself. She replayed everything that happened the whole night, trying to see if she imagined the entire interaction between them.
She then called her best friend Alice and told her all about her father's friend. Of course, the first thing Alice she asked was, "Is he hot?"
Isabella smiled and said, "He's beyond hot, Alice and you'll see how hot tomorrow. He's coming to Em's game and watching me¯us cheer."
Alice replied, "Really? Well, I can't wait to meet him. You know...Jake's going to get awfully jealous."
Isabella cringed when she heard her ex-boyfriends name. She caught him cheating on her with the school slut, Jessica Stanley. She had been giving Jake head one night in the locker room, and as soon as Isabella saw it she broke it off with him. But Jake was doing everything he could to try and get her back.
"Let him," Bella said to her friend. "He deserves to sweat it out."
Both girls said bye to each other and Isabella went to take a shower and relieve the ache that had built in between her thighs because of Edward.
