The Lemonade Stand

First of all, thank you again for all of your reviews and amazing support for this story. I've been blown away the last few days with the amount of stories and voices I've heard telling me how much Secret Life meant to them. It means a lot to me so I'm so glad that it means something to you.

Secret Life has been nominated for a Fic of the Week over at The Lemonade Stand and it would love your support there as well. I'd love for more people to read this story and I hope you'll head over there and vote for it, as well as your other favorites on the list. Thanks!

Teaser for Chapter 24!

Alice walked into the room and eyed me with a smile. “Edward get out. I need to talk to Bella.”

“What the hell do you have to talk about that you can’t talk about in front of me?” He asked.

Alice shrugged. “Girl stuff. But if you want to sit in here while I talk about my heavy menstrual flow, then by all means.” Edward made a disgusted face and left the room without another word.

Alice closed the door behind her and sat down on the bed beside me. “That thing you wanted me to do. It’s done.”
“Is it really?” My eyes widened in surprise. “You mean it’s all done?” “All set up. All purchased with a little help from Dad. All ready to go. Here’s the key.” She handed me a small key. “He’s going to love it."

Hey everyone. I hope you enjoyed this teaser. Just wanted to give you a heads up there is one regular chapter and one epilogue left for this story. Also a reminder to vote in the poll for Bella's dance song. Secret Life will also be up for The Lemonade Stand fic of the week in an upcoming poll so please make sure to keep checking their website to vote : )

Secret Life PicTease!

I apologize for the lack in activity the past couple of weeks. I had midterms and now spring break but I'm planning on working on the next chapter this weekend. Thanks for being patient! : )

Secret Life Teaser 22

“I’m okay baby. How are you?”

“Better now.” I pressed my lips to his, hoping he would relax a little more. I pushed him a little further than we’d gone lately. Actually anything would have been further than we’d gone lately. Physically, since that last time, we’d only kissed a little but it was never more than a quick peck. I know he was trying to be careful and honestly most of the time I wasn’t up to anything more than that, but I missed him that way. The minute I tried to stick my tongue in his mouth he laughed and pulled away.

“Aren’t you tired?” He asked. “You should probably go to sleep.”

“But I’m not tired.” I kissed him again.

“Yes you are.” He smiled against my lips and turned to put out the joint.

“I’m not,” I yawned. We both snuggled down into the covers and I drifted right off to sleep, despite my protests.

I heard Edward’s phone ring, seconds, minutes, hours later. I had no idea. He shot up and immediately answered it.

“Hello?”

I opened my eyes and saw him glance at me.

“Just now?” He rubbed his forehead and cursed. “Okay. Yeah thanks. Bye.” He turned towards me, his face serious. I was still half asleep when he picked me up and pulled me into his arms.

“What’s going on?” I mumbled.

“I have to tell you something.”

Chapter 20 Teaser

“I think I can handle it Dr. Cullen. I’ve done this before you know.” I smiled and pulled myself over to the wheelchair they’d brought in for me.

“So we’ll see you at our place then?” My dad asked.

Edward cleared his throat and looked down at me. I knew he wanted to take care of me, but he wouldn’t argue if I said I wanted to go with them. It was the farthest thing from what I wanted.

“Dad I’m going home.”

“That’s ridiculous honey. We’re going to take care of you.”

“And I appreciate that. You’re welcome to stop by or even stay on the couch if you’d like. I love you guys and I want you to be here. But I’ll be staying at my apartment. That’s my home and there’s no place else I’d rather be.”

“Bella,” he lowered his voice. “I understand, but honey he doesn’t know what to expect. I think it’d just be better if you stayed with us…”

“Talk about me like I’m not here Charlie…” Edward said.

“Charlie.” My mom narrowed her eyes at him. “Bella is an adult. She’s not five years old anymore.” She leaned over and kissed my cheek. “We’ll stop by in the morning if that’s okay?”

“Yeah Mom that’d be great.” I nodded.

“Call us if you need anything, both of you.” She looked up at Edward and surprised me when she kissed his cheek.

“Thank you Renee,” Edward said.
