Love Song For A Vampire 23

“I think if my siblings join us we are going to have to invest in a second bus.”Rosalie said to Bella as she laid down on the bed next to her mate.They were in the master bedroom at the back of the bus which was the only private space for Bella to work.Rosalie had left her alone as long she could because she knew Bella was busy but it was hard not being close to the fae when she had the opportunity.She did have almost a century of time to make up for.

“Why do you say that?”Bella asked.

“Can you not hear the mayhem going on outside the door?”Rosalie wouldn’t be surprised if passing motorist heard the noise coming from the bus.

Bella shrugged.”I wasn’t really paying attention to it."

“You can ignore it?”Rosalie asked in shock.

“Sebastian isn’t the most quiet person so I’m use to him being loud.Especially with the volume of music or the tv or video games he is playing.”Bella explained.

“Well it seems him and Kate are the perfect match then.”Rosalie had seen the way the two of them seemed to egg each other on.

“I doubt Irina thinks so.”Bella said.

“She is newly mated you how that is.Irina is so blinded by love that Sebastian could kill a kitten in front her and she would coo at how cute he was while it did.”Irina’s behavior made Rosalie nauseous.

“And you think you are any better?”Bella asked.

Rosalie crossed her arms over her chest and glared at Bella.”What are you trying to say?”

“Nothing dear.”Bella quickly backtracked.

“That’s what I thought.”Rosalie didn’t think she was some love sick idiot and was glad Bella agreed.

“So other than the noise how is everyone getting along?”Bella asked changing the subject to something less likely to get her in trouble.

“Kate and Sebastian are playing guitar hero together while Kate is trying to convince Sebastian that she would be the perfect person to play lead guitar for your band.It’s obvious that Sebastian is trying to be polite in telling her no but I think you may have to step in for him it Kate continues her badgering.”Rosalie wanted to help her son but this was Bella’s area of expertise.

“I think the fact that to be lead guitarist we would have to fire Sebastian is more than enough reason for denying Kate.”Bella didn’t want to get involved but her son was a sensitive man and didn’t like letting people down.

“He mentioned that but Kate recommended that since he knew how to play the drums he should take over as the drummer instead.”Rosalie told her.

Bella sighed.”Maybe it wasn’t the best idea to let the sisters come on tour with us.”

“Now you see why I said we need another bus.”Rosalie said.

“We will be in Portland tomorrow.Then we have a day of practice with the local bands followed by three days of shows.”Bella took a moment to sort through her thoughts.”We could easily have another bus delivered by the day of the last concert.”

“You mean it?!”Rosalie squealed in excitement when Bella nodded.

Bella chuckled.“I take it you are pleased.”

“You have no idea.”Rosalie leaned forward being careful not to jostle Bella’s lap top and gave her a kiss.”I was so worried we wouldn’t get any time alone now that you are back on tour.With another bus we can have the sisters and Sebastian ride together.”

“Our son will probably want to ride with us as well.”Bella told her.

“I know that’s fine and I would welcome his company.It will just be nice to have a private space if we need it.”Rosalie didn’t mind traveling with Sebastian as she knew her son wouldn’t want to be away from her or Bella for that long.She also knew that he would be spending most of his time with Irina so Rosalie wasn’t worried to much about him being on their bus.

“I will send an email.Should we get one like this one or one with more communal space and bunkbeds instead of a master bedroom?”Bella asked.

“I think more communal space would be better.Also I like idea of them having bunkbeds because it will be less pressure on Sebastian to share a bed with Irina.”Rosalie didn’t want Sebastian to be pushed into something he wasn’t comfortable with yet.

“He would probably appreciate that.”Bella agreed.

“So how are things going to go once we get to Portland?”Rosalie asked.

“My team will have us already checked in at the hotel so we can just go straight to our rooms.We will have whatever is left of the day free so we can do anything you want.”Bella told her.

Rosalie arched an eyebrow.”Anything?”

“I’m somewhat afraid to ask what you have in mind.”Bella wasn’t sure she liked the look in Rosalie’s eyes.

“It’s nothing bad.”Rosalie promised.”I just would like very much for us to get dressed up and go on a fancy date.”

“And what exactly makes a date fancy?”Bella asked.

“It would include us dressing in nice clothing and you taking me to an expensive restaurant where if you impress me enough I may let you steal a kiss before you take me home.”Rosalie told her.

“Well if there is a kiss at stake then I will have to be on top of my game.”Bella said.”Seriously though you want me to take you out to dinner at a nice restaurant?”

Rosalie nodded.”I’m feeling a little nostalgic I think.”

“What do you mean?”Bella asked.

“When I was human you and I had to be so careful in public.We could never be ourself unless we were in private.I guess I just feel like doing something I always wanted to do with you.Going out and not having to hide from the world.It’s silly isn’t it?”Rosalie asked.

Bella leaned over and kissed Rosalie softly.”It’s not silly at all sweetheart.I will warn you though that if we go out in public the media will probably be alerted.”

“I didn’t even think about that.”Rosalie grumbled.

“I personally don’t care if people know we are dating but I don’t want to make you uncomfortable.”Bella couldn’t care less if people knew she and Rosalie were together.

“It won’t make me uncomfortable.Being out in public is something new that I’ll need to get used to.When you are a never aging vampire you don’t want to get much attention.Now that I can age myself I don’t have to worry about that.”Rosalie knew it would take a while to get over her fear of being found out.

“We will go at your pace.Whatever you are comfortable with I will follow your lead.”Bella told her.

“Thank you sweetheart.”Rosalie was happy Bella never pushed her to do things she wasn’t ready for.This however was something she needed to get over soon if she wanted to be with Bella.”I still want you to take me out though.If you and I are going to be together then someone is going to figure it out eventually so why should we stop ourselves from enjoying our time together.”

“If you are sure then I am sure.”Bella said.

“So after our night out on the town what needs to be done for the rest of the time we are there?”Rosalie asked.

“Well the next day I need to meet with the three bands that are opening for me.I’m not happy that I have to deal with them all in one day because we won’t have proper time to rehearse.Not that it will cause problems.I just will probably not sing with them because I won’t have time to learn their songs.I will play an instrument though so they can still claim they played music with me.”Bella would prefer to not rush with the bands but they had wasted too much time at the Cullen’s.

Rosalie instantly felt bad realizing that it was her fault Bella wouldn’t have time to rehearse.”It’s because of me and my family that you will be so rushed isn’t it.”

“No, sweetheart it isn’t your fault.I was more than happy to help your family.”Bella was being honest.After speaking to them she found Rosalie’s sibling rather lovely.

“But still if you hadn’t had to deal with all the Carlisle and Edward bullshit then you would have had time to rehearse.”Rosalie said.

“And where in that sentence did your name come up for it being your fault?”Bella asked.

“It didn’t, but..”Rosalie began only to be cut off by Bella.

“No buts.You are not at in control of what others do.Carlisle and Edward are responsible for their own actions.It just so happens their actions affected the tour.It happens.In no way is it your fault.”Bella wasn’t going to let Rosalie take the blame for something she didn’t do.

Rosalie sighed.”I know you’re right but I still feel bad.”

“What do you think your siblings will do now that they are no longer tied to Carlisle?”Bella hadn’t really had the opportunity to ask any of them what their plans for the future were.

“Jasper told me he and Alice are planning on traveling to Texas to where he lived as a human.Now that they don’t have to worry about the sun he is excited for the chance to travel around to the different areas he fought in during the war.”Rosalie had been surprised by the bright smile Jasper sported when he told her of what they were planning.Jasper wasn’t one to show emotions so for him to be so happy was a rare sight.

“I’m glad that he is able to do that.”Bella said.

“He’s had a tough life and now that he is human again he doesn’t have to worry about blood lust.Not only that but you healed all his scars so he can blend in a lot better.”Rosalie was happy that Jasper had a chance to have a good life.Out of everyone he and Alice were the two who most deserved it.

“How about Emmett and Veronica?”Bella asked.

“Veronica said that they were going to put there stuff in storage for now and join us on tour.As for what they are going to do after that I overheard Emmett talking about playing football.I don’t know how that would work with the shield but I doubt that Veronica will stop him from trying it out.”Rosalie figured if Emmett could have aged himself then he would have tried out for the NFL.Her bother loved football that much.

“Did you speak to Esme before we left?”Bella hadn’t seen the woman after the incident when Carlisle attacked her.She had locked herself in her bedroom and hadn’t come out before they left.

Rosalie nodded.”I stopped by her room to say goodbye.”

“Did she say anything about what she was going to do about Carlisle?”Bella asked.

“She was barely holding herself together.She actually asked if we were going to come live with them once the tour was over.”Rosalie had been surprised by the question.

“She can’t be that delusional can she?”Bella thought it would have been obvious Rosalie was no longer a part of Carlisle’s coven.

“I don’t think she’s delusional.I think she is overwhelmed.Her family was in the process of leaving her, she missed out on a chance to be human again and her mate is in the middle of mental break down and physically attack her.I’m not sure she even knows what she can do let alone what she wants to do.”Rosalie wished there was someway to help Esme.”You don’t know how to break the mate bond do you?”

“No, that isn’t something I can do.”Bella felt bad she couldn’t help Esme because the woman deserve to live a life without Carlisle.

“It would be so much easier if Carlisle was just mated to Edward.”Rosalie thought the pair were made for each other.

“Unfortunately I can confirm they are not.”Bella had felt the bonds and had confirmed that Carlisle and Esme were mates as well as Edward and Lauren.

“I just hate that Esme is stuck with him.”Rosalie knew there wasn’t anything they could really do because vampires couldn’t be apart from their mates for long periods of time.So even if Esme came with them she would aways feel the need to find Carlisle.If she didn’t go to him it would be bad for her mental health.

“Maybe he will find himself a new coven and she will find a new family to be a part of.”Bella knew it wasn’t likely but she wanted Rosalie to feel better.

“I think the only vampires that Carlisle is going to interact with when he was woken up is the Volturi.”Rosalie said.

“What do you mean?” Bella asked.

“With how angry Carlisle is he isn’t just going to accept that we all left him.Add on to the fact that you refused to turn both Edward and himself will have him plotting revenge.I have no doubt that he will go to Voltaire right away and tell Aro all about you and how you badly you wronged him.”Rosalie would bet Carlisle would take the first flight he could get to Italy.

“Will the kings listen him?”Bella wanted to know what kind of trouble would be coming her way.

“Carlisle was an advisor for them.They are still friends so they would listen to him.With Aro’s gift he would be able to see everything that happened for himself.I’m sure learning that you are able to turn vampires human will peak his interest.”Rosalie told her.

Bella sighed.”I suppose I should inform my security of this.”

“That’s probably a good idea.Aro won’t try to contact you peacefully.He will most likely try to kidnap you.”Rosalie wasn’t that worried about Bella because not only was her mate formable but Bella’s security were better than any of the elite guard.That actually brought a thought to Rosalie.”Are all fairies naturally able to shield themselves?”

“No it’s rather uncommon to be a shield.All members of my guard I grant the shield after I’ve met them.”Bella said.

Rosalie wasn’t surprised to hear Bella could do something most fairies couldn’t do.”I don’t think the Volturi are that much of threat.With the shield your guards are immune to all the elite guards gifts.”

“They may not be a threat but they will probably be an annoyance.If they do send people I’ll have to return the favor.”Bella knew that if threatened her people would retaliate and there was nothing she could do to stop them.

“Let’s worry about it later.Right now I want to spend time time with you.”Rosalie didn’t want to think of any of their problems right then.She just wanted to take the moment of peace they had and enjoy it.

Bella shut down her laptop and set it on the table next to the bed.”And what do you want to spend time doing?”

“Let me show you.”Rosalie said as she straddled Bella’s lap and kissed her hard on the mouth.She may have been upset with the excess noise on the bus but now that she was in bed with Bella she was thankful no one would hear them.Rosalie knew that she wasn’t the quietest when intimate with Bella so hopefully the noise would stop her from scarring Sebastian for life.No child wanted to hear their parents have sex so Rosalie would try to hold back from being vocal.She wasn’t counting on it working though because when she was with Bella the rest of the world just seemed to disappear.
