FANFIC THE RESTART – CHAPTER 10

Chapter 10 – Jealousy

After getting up, Bella realized that she was alone in the room. He is combed and put the red dress, leaving it open for could not reach the brackets, expect Edward to return. By giving the finishing touches, her husband arrived.

– This afternoon I will take her to a dressmaker – Edward said flatly, turning to the window. – Need a little more modest outfits that you are using.

She was willing to make the bed trying to make as little noise as possible. Then he sat on the edge and waited for her husband to move or give him any indication. She waited an eternity. He began to hurt her back and rested his head against one of the bedposts. He closed his eyes but very nervous, he opened them. Finally Edward moved and she straightened, turning to put the dress on the shoulders. The man looked indifferently.

– Do you intend to go around that way or will come here and let button dress? – He asked sarcastically. – If you want to eat, you'd better hurry.

Bella obeyed pale and disconcerted. To go down to eat, they found George, who bowed and greeted the young:

– Hello lady. – He pulled a chair to sit down, then briefly addressed his captain and walked away in a hurry. Bella followed his gaze to the door. With a frown, he wondered how many men of her husband created would have told something about his previous presence in Fleetwood. He seemed to know much about the affairs of his captain.

Despite having been fleeting, Edward saw the expression on the girl's face.

– You should not worry about George, my love – assured suddenly. – It is very discreet. Suffice it to say that you know you are not a woman of the street and is very sorry for all the problems that caused you. And while certainly not agree, it's no stupid. He saw the stains of her virginity to collect the sheets of my cabin that day. He realized he had been deflowered.

– Please do not distress, dear – pleaded fondly. – There is no need to be ashamed. There are many women who wish to offer their husbands a proof of its purity on the first night. A man likes to know that there were others before him.

– And you feel joyful? – Abruptly asked, digging her eyes on his face.

The man flashed a wide smile with slitted eyes.

– I'm like the others, my well – assured. – I felt lucky. I would have walked away from you and begged his forgiveness if he had known that his intention was not to start this business. – And he said with a soft laugh, as if apologizing: – But I'm afraid that's impossible.

– I do not understand – said the girl bitterly. – The damage is already done.

Edward chuckled and pulled her with his eyes as he had done the day before.

– Not at all, my love – clarified. – I would not have given her the part of me that now takes in you. If so, I had away from you, was not pregnant. But as it happened, now there is a life growing inside and I'm to blame. His uncles made it very clear that the boy was mine.

– But I could be lying about my state – Bella said with bravado, as if to try for a moment against the confidence of the man. He raised his charming little nose, looking at the challenger.

– Forget it, ma belle – pointed softly – I could watch you in its natural state and, although it is not obvious to a simple look, lovely belly is growing. In a month it will be quite obvious.

Bella remained silent when approaching the created table. In any event, there was no longer anything to say. How could deny the obvious?

After the food, George returned again.

– Would you call a coach now, captain? – He asked.

Edward looked at Bella.

– Are you ready, my dear?

– I ask you to excuse me a moment – said Bella. The young man's needs were far greater than his and Edward realized.

The captain turned to George and said quietly:

– We will meet with you in an instant.

Once the party created, Edward straightened up and helped Bella get up.

– I'm sorry, my love – whispered smiling. – I've been thinking about other things and forgot completely of their status. Please forgive me.

So, despite everything, she realized that the frequency of its output were due to the fact of being pregnant. There was something that escaped him? There was something that did not know about women?

Bella looked up. For a moment their eyes met.

Edward's gaze was so warm that the faces of the young woman blushed. The man laughed softly to see how the eyes of the young man fled from him and slid his arm behind his back. He squeezed her waist carefully before you loose it.

I walked to the door where Edward was waiting when he heard a familiar voice calling her. He turned with a start and saw Jacob Black rushing to her with a full pitcher of beer in hand and adorned as a merchant seaman. I should have entered the inn with a group of sailors as she was not there. He was speechless for a few minutes, very surprised to see him there. Jacob quickly left the jar on a table and grabbed her hands.

– Bella, my love – squealed happily. – I thought I would never see you before I left. Why are you here? And where's your aunt? He came to say goodbye to me?

– Lay off me you? – Bella replied stupidly, not knowing what he meant by that. He frowned. – Jacob what are you doing here? And Jessica? Why do you wear those clothes?

– Do not know, Bella? Have engaged me Merriweather tea of ​​British company – said the young man. – Set sail in a fortnight to the East. I will be out two years.

– But why, Jacob? – He asked perplexed. – What happened to Jessica?

– I could not marry her, Bella – Jacob explained. – I want you and I will not marry anyone but you. So I came to London to enrich, as told me. Now I have an opportunity to do it. When you return from the East will be a wealthy man, I have over five hundred pounds in his pocket.

– Oh, Jacob – sighed sadly away her hands from his.

Jacob looked at her devotion again. Smile you openly and his eyes glittered pure contentment. He did not realize the anguish that had the young.

– It's splendid, Bella – he said. – Never seen her so beautiful –aproximou up and stroked her cheek tenderly with trembling hands. – Go wait for me, Bella? Accept to be mine? Would be able to marry me now and let leave as an immensely happy man? – His eyes stood in the breasts of Bella, her voice was shaky and seemed to choke on the words. – I want you, Bella. I love you and I wish more than anything in the world.

– Please ... – started to say with difficulty. Behind Jacob, Edward approached with a deep frown on his forehead. She turned to look very nervous Jacob. Edward reached them.

– If you are prepared, my love, we must go – said Edward, putting him his cloak over his shoulders to hide her breasts to Jacob's eyes. – The carriage is in waiting.

Jacob looked at Edward in disbelief. He watched surrounded Bella with his arm. He felt that it was boiling blood to see that another man touched his beloved.

– Bella who is this man, this ... this Yankee? – He asked. – What are you doing here with him? And why let him put his hands on you in this way?

– Jacob, you should listen to me – prayed. Did not want to give you the news that way, not in a public place like this, not that precise moment, not so cruelly. – I did not want this to happen, Jacob. Please believe me. I should have believed me when I said I could not marry you. It was quite impossible. – She looked at her husband imploring understanding. This young man was not prepared for the sharp Edward language. – Jacob, this is my husband, Captain Cullen, the American ship Fleetwood.

– Your husband! – Cried Jacob. He fixed his eyes on Edward, horrified. – Oh, God, do not say it seriously, Bella! Tell me you're joking! You can not have married a Yankee! – Watched in despair the sumptuous clothes of man. Only his socks were worth more than his costume worn. – A Yankee not, Bella!

– Never dare play so cruelly with this, Jacob – said the girl sweetly. – It's my husband.

– When ... married? – Jacob managed to ask with tears in his eyes.

– Two days ago – Bella sighed lowering her gaze. I could not bear the tears of the young. If you stay here much longer talking to him, I lose control and run away from him sobbing. His whole body was stiff as a response to their efforts to repress and Edward's arm narrowing it, did not help at all. There was more to remind him that he was to blame for everything that had happened. However, his silence was a blessing.

– Can you tell me why you married him ... with a Yankee and not with me, Bella? – He asked slaughtered.

– What need is there now that, Jacob? – He asked. – I'm married and you can not do anything. Let's say goodbye now and let us go. You will soon be forgotten.

– Do not tell me why? – He insisted. Bella shook her head, her vision was blurred by tears.

– No, I can not. I must go now – replied.

– Do not forget, Bella, you know. I love her and no other woman can replace it – said.

In the presence of Edward, Bella stood on tiptoes and kissed Jacob in the face.

– Goodbye – he whispered. He turned and left Edward to accompany him to the door.

Once inside the carriage, Bella remained desolate looking out the window, not caring that Edward was watching.

– When the young man asked her to marry him? – Asked sharply as the carriage started up.

– After having known you – answer. Edward's expression hardened, barely spoke and soon arrived at the dressmaker shop

Madame Fontaineau received them at the door of his shop with a charming smile. Captain Cullen was a regular customer when he was on earth. Edward pulled his cloak of Bella shoulders and Madame Fontaineau eyes slid over the red dress. He smiled complacently and decided that no other mademoiselle could become so well. The Dressmaker curiosity aroused when the captain had bought that dress and other clothes intended for a young girl and delicate. He took for granted that the captain had found another lover, because the costumes he had acquired in the last two years were for a taller woman and voluptuous.

– Madame Fontaineau, allow me to introduce my wife – said Edward.

– Delighted to meet her, Cullen lady. Her husband is my favorite customer for a long time. He is an expert in women – said the seamstress. – You are very beautiful.

Edward frowned slightly.

– Madame Fontaineau, if you have the goodness, my wife needs to get a complete wardrobe – he explained.

– Oui, monsieur, I will do the best I can – was quick to respond, realizing the gaffe. The men did not like his amorous activities were in the public domain and less than their wives knew them. But the impact of the news of his link had been too strong for her. He annihilated contemplating the ring.

Madame Fontaineau watched the young and then examined the tissues that had piled up on the tables. With an expression of resignation, he looked at the Yankee.

– Elle est perfection, right, monsieur? – He pointed in French.

Edward looked up to watch the back of his wife.

– Oui, madame. Magnifique – answered.

Bella did not understand a word of the conversation; neither he tried. However, she realized that Edward had responded to Fontaineau madame in French, no problem. He was a man full of surprises.

Bella wandered the store, watching some sketches and depart saw that a young man was watching her. The boy devoured greedily the neckline of Bella, wondering what was underneath. She smiled at him openly, but just at that moment and to his misfortune, Edward diverted attention from the conversation and watched as the boy approached his wife with a very loving attitude.

It was no longer a boy, but Edward was the last straw. First thieves, then an old love and now this guy. It was his and not a public ask everyone who could kiss or they could enjoy. His patience had reached its limit. He would not allow any other man deleitasse with her. He crossed the shop at the lightning speed with uncontrolled anger. Bella saw him come and, terrified, moved away from a jump to let him pass. He grabbed the young man by the coat, and lifted him off the ground, shook him like a carpet.

– Negligible Slag – insulted him. – You will soon learn to take the view from the top of my wife. I'll rock you throughout the store.

– Monsieur! Monsieur! – Begged him. – Monsieur Birmingham. Please. It is no more than a boy! I did not want to insult you, monsieur. Please leave it! I ask you!

– I'm sorry, monsieur Birmingham – apologized humbly Fontaineau madame. He went to Bella, Edward rubbing in his way and grabbed the trembling hands of the young.

– Madame Cullen is my nephew and sometimes behaves like a stupid creature. But, alas, madame – he added with a shrug – is obviously French.

The woman began to laugh and Bella looked at her husband with eyes still open and unsecured. This met his gaze and raised an eyebrow fun, unsmiling, which made suppose that was still angry.

– Please, here, madame Cullen. – The dressmaker smiled grabbing her arm. – We will begin the selection of fabrics for combinations – anunciou– I suggest the muslin for daily use and delicate cambric for special occasions? They are very soft for such a lovely skin like yours.

– No matter – she whispered softly – do what you think best.

Madame Fontaineau looked at the captain to receive his approval and smiled, remembering what the man had carefully selected lingerie for the girl. For their adoption, the combinations must be of the best quality, smooth and transparent. I could not forget it when making these new.

– Captain Cullen, to accompany Madame tasters can begin to select the dresses – noted the French. – I have some beautiful latest fashion sketches.

He turned resolutely and guided them to the back of the store, through the curtains down the hall and into a small room crammed with fabrics and sewing. He brought a chair and pointed to Edward to sit.

Then he turned to Bella.

– Madame, if I may, desabotoarei dress, and as soon as we have taken, we will begin to take action, right? – Said the lady.

She turned her back and waited in silence Fontaineau madame desabotoasse costume. The room, barely bigger than a bed, it was so crowded tissue that had almost no room for three. Every time Bella moved in the tiny cubicle, brushed Edward's legs with her skirts.

– Now, madame shrink the stomach – continued seamstress, putting the belt around her hips.

Bella looked up above the lady's head and saw Edward stifle a laugh. I no longer cared if still angry with her.

Annoyed, said the woman,

– It's impossible.

Madame Fontaineau dropped back, sitting on her feet. For a moment he wondered how it was possible that the petite had this little problem. Finally a reliable smile twisted his lips.

– Madame is pregnant, is not it? – He asked.

Yes – Bella admitted reluctantly, blushing.

– But this is wonderful – murmured Madame Fontaineau. Edward looked askance. – Monsieur is a proud papa is not it?

– I can assure you, madame Fontaineau – said Edward.

No Yankee indicating you to continue to take measures, Fontaineau madame sat up once more in his role as businesswoman.

– I'll look for the sketches. If madame want to return to for the dress, abotoarei when you return – he said and left the room.

Bella looked away from the mirror and grabbed the dress. Completely stunned, she dressed him, put his arms in the sleeves and folded her to keep her from falling, waiting for the return of Fontaineau madame. Suddenly he saw, terrified, as Edward approached her, her skirts away and caught between the legs. Bella looked at him puzzled. His heart began to beat rapidly and Edward when he realized, he began to laugh contemplating the bust trembling under her dress.

– Why this fear, kitten? – He asked. – The only thing I want is buttoning her dress.

A nervous reaction, the girl put her hands to neck trying to hide her breasts from her husband, the away still laughing.

– There is no need for that cover, my love – said. – Only my eyes are here to watch you.

– Please – Bella sighed breathlessly. – Madame Fontaineau is about to return.

Edward laughed.

– All that madame Fontaineau see is a man buttoning his dress his wife – noted Edward.

– I brought all the sketches I have – said the lady. – As you will see, there is plenty to choose from.

Madame Fontaineau unfolded a table and put the stack of drawings on her, leaving Bella is caught between her legs and her husband.

Once Edward and finished buttoning the young woman sat on the floor and began studying the drawings. There were many who liked it, but she doubted that her husband wanted to spend such a large sum of money in it. He looked at them longingly and sighed.

– Do not have any more simple dress than these? – Asked the woman.

The seamstress was speechless, very haunted. Edward leaned forward, placing a hand on his bare shoulder Bella.

– My love, I can purchase them quietly – said taking a look at the sketches.

Madame Fontaineau sighed with relief. The captain had an excellent and expensive taste in a matter of clothes. He would not allow his wife thought about the money at a time like this. The captain could afford to buy a luxury wardrobe, so what was the intention of the young? If she was Bella, I would have chosen the most beautiful dresses without thinking twice.

– As it seems very shy at the time to spend my money – said Edward softly – will help her to select your attire ... if not inconvenient.

Bella rushed to shake his head, nervous feeling his hand on the shoulder. His fingers were like tongues of fire on her bare skin. Edward the rested on her collarbone and her breasts dismissively and without realizing the reaction that were causing it. I was beginning to have trouble breathing.

Edward pointed out one of the sketches. – This will be good in blue silk. Is the tone? – He asked.

– Oui, monsieur. It will be as you wish – retorted.

– Excellent – said Edward. Then he pointed out another sketch. – This not be lost among many others.

He pulled another drawing, claiming that the dress was too garish. Another five were chosen. Two others refused.

Bella watched, fascinated, unable to utter a single word.

I could not be more that according to all that Edward had chosen. And all those who had been despised herself had prayed that they were. His sense of color left her stunned. I should admit that chose better than her.

Many other dresses were quickly chosen and samples of different materials attached to them. There was no detail to be determined. Chosen silks, wool knits, velvets, brocades, muslins, cotton gauze. Bella lost count. They chose tapes, azeviches, accounts and skins as waistbands and loud. Bella was amazed with the huge amount of clothing that Edward had bought, of course much more than she herself had expected.

– Do you agree with everything, darling? – Edward asked sweetly.

– You've been more than generous – he muttered. Edward looked at her.

– My wife needs a dress to wear now – looked away from her eyes. – Is there a bit more appropriate for her to be more conservative than what you're using now?

Madame Fontaineau nodded.

– Oui, monsieur – answered. – I have a dress that ended just yesterday. I'll handle it right now. It may be what you're looking.

Quickly left the room and returned soon after cable with a blue velvet costume. I had long, fitted sleeves and a white satin collar, very demure. The cuffs were also trimmed in white satin.

– It is in something he'd thought? – Asked the seamstress holding it aloft.

– Yes – said Edward. – Wrap it up, let's take him. Now we must take the deadlines. You should have everything prepared for within ten days.

You gaped.

– But, monsieur, this is impossible! – Protested. – At least one month, please.

– I'm sorry, ma'am. We set sail in a fortnight – Edward argued. – Within five days back with my wife to prove them, and in ten, I want everything to be prepared and on board. You will have an extra benefit if it's all finished and well tailored. If not, you lose. Can do it?

Madame Fontaineau could not leave out a request like that.

Even having to share some of the benefits with other seamstresses, continue earning a large sum of money. Put all her friends and family sewing from now, but would be ready in time. The man made a good deal, because I was used to giving orders that were obeyed. It was really worthy of admiration; not accept anything but the best.

– It will be as you wish, monsieur – finally said the woman.

– So it's decided – concluded Edward. Now we must finish fabricate his clothing, my love.

Strangely dressed ladies and fine gentlemen crammed stores in London, pushing each other as the only way forward through the crowd. Bella brightened at the memory of childhood and walks with his father by these stores now talking happily with the tenants, proved stupid hats, looked up in the mirrors giggling, jumping from one side to another bewitching to all who I had the power of luck contemplates it. Edward remained silent behind her, watching her. Only agreed with the tenants when Bella proved something that had its approval, then paid; even when the young man unconsciously held by the hand and pulled it to the inside of a store, allowed him without chides her.

But Bella never asked for anything, nor expect him to buy.

Amused if only looking. I had been able to enjoy this pleasure very long time. He watched the imposing ladies who paraded before her. Ria to see her small, obese husbands run after them, trying to reach them. His eyes sparkled and smiled constantly.

Let yourself be carried away by the crowd, happy, and turned his head casually from side to side, shaking her braids and making all men landed at her.

Entardecendo was when Bella was looking very quiet and thoughtful for a wooden cot that was in a store. He touched it with trembling hands and stroked the soft wood. She bit her lower lip and looked at Edward. Once again, he felt insecure.

Edward approached her and watched the object, weighing the possibility of purchasing it. Proved its strength.

– There is better in my house – he finally said, still inspecting him. – It was mine, but still strong and capable of supporting a baby. Long ago that Haiti want to use it.

– Haiti? – Asked the girl.

– It is my housekeeper, a huge woman of color – answered. – Is the house since I was born.

Edward turned and walked slowly out of the store, Bella followed him and stood beside him, as he called a carriage. When he spoke, his voice was rough.

– Haiti has been waiting impatiently, at least for fifteen years, to marry me and have children – she said watching her hidden.

– I am convinced that will not fit in himself of joy when I see you, taking into account that already have enough belly when we get home.

Very inhibited, Bella covered her belly with the cover.

– You were going to get married when he returned. What will happen? – Asked the girl. – Certainly Haiti will be angry with me for having usurped the place of his betrothed.

– No, absolutely – he snapped and looked around the carriage that was approaching.

His gestures indicated Bella that the questions shift had ended and wondered what would be the reason why her husband was so sure that the colored woman not be angry with her. It seemed to him that was not what would occur.

The carriage stopped in front them and Edward gave the driver the name of the inn. Then he puts the packages and reached out to Bella to help her up. She dropped to the seat, exhausted. Purchases had undermined their strength and wished now into bed and get going for almost always pleasant world of dreams ...
