Another Anniversary

I have another story anniversary. A Nerd Story of Love was published ten years ago. This was my first foray in romance/humor. I love me a good NerdWard. He's also sweet, tattooed and when he and Bella meet, a virgin.

I also have a stand-alone humorous story: Friends with Benefits
Bella and Edward have been friends for as long as they could remember. Bella was just dumped by her boyfriend, Paul and Edward had been single for a long time. One thing leads to another after a night of drunken passion. Bella suggests to Edward that they be friends with benefits. What happens when one realizes that they want more?

#Day2: A Fic that reminds you of your childhood.

I have two. One was written by one of my favorite authors, someone who supported me when I started writing fic. Higher by SexyLexiCullen. It brings back memories of when I was in high school.

Summer of 1994: Dial-up internet. Pagers. Walkmans. AOL chat rooms. O.J in a white Bronco. And blazingly hot weather in Brooklyn where eighteen-year-old Bella Swan is filling her days making ice cream sundaes before she starts college. But one long night – full of Ecstasy, subway rides, dark dance clubs, and a boy she doesn't want to stay away from – may change everything.

https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9254112/1/Higher

The second one is one that I wrote ... loosely based on my college experience. La Cantante.

Bella is a freshman in college studying to be a music teacher. Edward is a pre-med student at the same school but secretly wants to be a musician. They both meet and sparks fly. However, Bella's past may make it difficult. ExB, AH EDITED and REPOSTED!


https://www.fanfiction.net/s/6566267/1/La-Cantante

#Day3: A fic you never get tired of ...

This is a story that I love and I’ve reread more times than I can count. This Is Not My Life by IsaKassees.

Follow Bella as she tries to survive a madman's abduction and keep a stranger's child from succumbing to his wild fantasies, and follow Edward as he tries to stay sane searching for his daughter taken right before his eyes.

Some More Good News!

I'm happy to say that I'm on the mend. Today, I woke up feeling like a human. I'm still tired and weak from this bout with this stomach bug, but my stomach is not doing flip flops at the mere mention of food. So, positive for me!

It also helped with my weight loss plans. Not eating for almost four days, yeah, can make you lose weight. I think I'm down fifteen pounds? LOL ...

Anyhow, since I was in a stomach flu fog, I never got a chance to share this tidbit of good news ...

Chapter One: Baby Cullen

EPOV

"Edward?" Bella called. "Can you bring me up some ice cream?"

"What flavor, gorgeous?" I replied.

"Chunky Monkey," she chirped. "And some pickles, too."

I grimaced but gathered the requested items for my pregnant and horny wife. I put the ice cream into a bowl and some pickles onto a plate. I jogged up the stairs and found Bella sitting on our bed, wearing one of my t-shirts and a pair of panties. Her baby belly was jutting out in front of her and I bit back a moan.

We just had wild monkey sex. Well, as wild and monkey as the sex can be when your wife is six months pregnant. Down boy!

"Your request, madam," I said as put the bowls into her eager hands. Then she dipped the pickle into the ice cream.

There goes my boner…

"Thank you, baby," she said with her mouth full.

"That's thoroughly repulsive, Bella," I snickered.

"No, it's not," she said. "I'm hoping if I eat something gross enough, Squirt will be ornery enough to show us what's underneath his or her skirt. I want to know what color to paint the nursery."

"No, what color I'M going to paint the nursery," I said. "There is no way in hell you're going up on a ladder. You have a hard enough timewalking without the belly."

"True. I'll just watch you paint. With your shirt off. So you can show off your new muscles, stud," she giggled. "You ready for another round?"

"Bella…no. Just, no," I said. "My poor cock is fucking raw. Besides, we need to be at the doctor's office in an hour and half. Eat your crap and we'll go. I need to have some meat or something so I can get the smell of pickles dipped in Chunky Monkey out of my nostrils. That's foul, love. And wrong."

"It's good," Bella said, arching her brow.

"Keep telling yourself that, gorgeous," I said dryly. "When we have Squirt, I'm going to make you a dish of Chunky Monkey with a side of pickles and you will see the grossness that is that."

Bella growled and tossed a pickle at me. I, surprisingly, caught it with my mouth before I left. I went downstairs to make myself some lunch before changing for Bella's doctor's appointment. As I ate my sandwich, I smiled at how much my life had changed in the year since I've met Bella. The love of my life.

Who would have thought that chatting in a music forum would have led me to where I am today? And it all started so innocently. We chatted online for a half hour and she emailed me this gorgeous picture. I replied with my own photo and we quickly became friend through emails, phone calls and video conferences. Our first date was on Phoenix and I knew as soon as I saw and felt her that I was in love. She felt so right in my arms. Bella was the perfect woman for me and I was so blessed to have the love of my existence be all of my firsts.

First relationship.

First kiss.

First love.

First and only person to make love to.

Now, my best friend and husband of my sister, called me a fucking moron for not 'sowing my wild oats.' I refused to be in a relationship or pursue something physical with anybody that I had zero feelings for. Making love is not something to be taken lightly. Was I horny? Yes. But I am more of a gentleman than that. Hell, I hadn't even masturbated before I met Bella. I never saw the point. But once I did, I was quite needy in that regard. I felt like a sex-crazed teenager. I never took so many showers in my life. The first time I jerked off, it was in my bed. And I forgot about the 'aftermath.' I wrinkled my nose as I cleaned my spooge of my belly. The shower quickly became my jack off location of choice.

It felt so right with her. Every step that we took was not rushed or forced. Our first kiss was in the botanic gardens in Phoenix after Bella called me her boyfriend. My heart soared when I heard that. I needed to…wanted to kiss her. I wanted to feel her lips against mine and I did. The kiss was sweet and chaste. Her taste was indescribable. She was so sweet and soft and so Bella. When our lips touched, I felt a million butterflies assault my stomach and I wanted to run away with her. Be with her in every way. However, she was better than that. She needed the romance. The love. The affection and I would gladly give it to her.

Fifteen Years Later

"Dad! Please, can I use the car? I have cheerleading practice after school and then we're playing a prank on coach," Kyra whined. "Please?" She jutted out her lip pathetically and sidled up to me.

"Kyra, that is pitiful," I snorted.

"Don't make me break out the crocodile tears, Dad," she said, batting her lashes.

"Fine. But, you know your curfew, principessa," I said as I handed her the keys to my old Volvo SUV. "If you are a minute late, then you will not be going to the football game this weekend, regardless of the phone calls of your coaches. Got it?"

"Yes, Daddy," she squealed as she kissed my cheek. "I love you!"

"Love you, too," I said as I turned back to the computer.

"FREEZE, YOUNG LADY!" Bella bellowed. "You did not just go to your father to get permission to get the car did you?"

"Crap," Kyra spat.

"Hold up," I said sternly. "Your mom said no? And you didn't tell me?" I was disappointed in my oldest child who knew she got caught in a lie.

"Sorry, Dad," she muttered.

Bella was in my office, her arms crossed over her breasts, glaring at Kyra. "You know better, Kyra Marie Cullen."

"Mom! This is important," she stomped.

"Your schoolwork is important. Cheerleading isn't," Bella said sternly. "You can go to practice but either your father or I will pick you up from school afterward. And after the game Friday, you are grounded until next Friday. No friends, no Facebook, no phone. You'll fork it over after school today."

"This is so unfair!" Kyra screamed as she ran out of my office, throwing the keys onto the ground. Her door slammed shut and it caused Bella and I to jump.

The Geek's Guide to Parenthood Teaser

“Are you going into the office?” she asked.

“I’m going to stay here. Do some work from home,” I shrugged. Whitlock Technologies was thriving. We had three distinct divisions now. Jasper was the head of the software division. I headed up the hardware division. Charlie, Bella’s birth father, headed up the law enforcement division. That was a shocker but he couldn’t be a cop anymore. About five years after Owen was born, Charlie was shot on the job and he was forced into early retirement due to the injury. He was unbearable to be around and his wife, Sue, all but begged us to help out. About year after his injury, I was giving him a tour of the law enforcement division and he seemed excited about it. We spoke at length and I hired him on the spot. He had to learn the ropes first, but a year after that, he was one of the vice presidents of Whitlock Technologies.

“If you’re working from home, I’m going to head in to the office to do some publicity for the foundation. We’ve got three more locations opening and I want to make sure that the media coverage is adequate,” Bella said as she nibbled on her breakfast.

“Can’t you do that here?” I pouted.

“God, stop it, Edward,” she giggled. “If I do that here, it won’t be getting done. We’d end up in bed.”

“And this is a bad thing because…” I prompted, winking at my fuckhot wife.

“Jesus, Edward. You are still such a hornball,” Bella snorted. “You’re two years away from fifty! Shouldn’t you be slowing down?”

“For you? NEVER,” I bellowed as I hopped up from spot and went to chase her. Bella squealed and took off. She was smaller than me but I was still faster. I caught up with her and threw her over my shoulder, smacking her gorgeous ass. Carrying her to the living room, I put her on the couch and covered her body with mine. I was definitely hard and wanting my wife. Desperately.

“You’re going to hurt yourself, Edward,” she said breathily as she twined her fingers into my hair.

“Do you care about me hurting myself right now or are you just talking?” I chuckled as I swiveled my hips, pressing my cock against her heat.

“Just talking,” she said as she pulled me down to kiss me deeply. Our tongues tangled with each other and Bella was going to lift my shirt when her cell phone rang from the kitchen. She groaned and pushed me off her.

Six months later

"So, Tim, we should be ready to open Memorial Day weekend, right?" I asked as I did a walk through in the Joliet foundation location. "Doesn't this seem like it's déjà vu?"

"Because it is," Tim snorted. "However, no psycho brothers to mess this building."

"Thank God," I grumbled. "How are the wedding plans going?"

"Excellent, actually. Rose and I are having a combined bachelor/bachelorette party soon. Rose is sending out invitations as we speak."

"Shouldn't your best man and maid of honor be planning the bachelor/bachelorette parties?" I asked, arching a brow over my sunglasses.

"You and Bella are too square," Tim laughed. "At least for what Rose and I want to do."

I shot him a look. "Is it legal?"

"Of course it's legal!" Tim snorted. "Rose wants to go to a strip club."

"You're kidding," I said flatly. "Why?"

"Because she's Rose," Tim shrugged. "And it's a strip club. Not a male strip club, one with naked women."

"Tim, you're soon-to-be wife is weird," I chuckled.

"She says it's research for her next novel," Tim said dryly.
