I really didn't know what I was doing here. My hand was poised in the knocking position when I sighed lowered my hand and was about to walk away. About two steps down the stairway leading to the Cullen house I heard the door quietly open "Bella? What are you doing here?" Edward questioned
"crap" I thought to myself. After taking a few seconds to compose my face I turned around to face him and replied "I uhh…missed you… that's all.", and began to walk away faster than I had the first time. I should have known better.
After about ten feet he had my wrist in his grasp.
"Bella" he cooed "you can tell me."
"I just…" at a loss for words I looked down at my shaking hands.
"Go on, you can tell me anything" he insisted wanted to know the cause of my worry.
I took a deep breath and looked away. "I just..." I started for the second time that day. "I needed to tell you that I'm in love with you." I said, and waited for a reaction from him.
"Yes Bella, I know that...as I am in love with you also..." He said, confused.
"But, I'm also...in love with...Jacob." I said, barely audible. I was waiting for him to yell, or for him to throw something, but his actual response left me speechless.
"Oh."
Oh. ALL I GET IS AN OH? I'm a confused girl in love with two insanely gorgeous men and all he can say is OH! "You're not furious?" I asked flabbergasted.
"Well, of course I'm a little confused, but I always thought it would come to this. I guess this ruins my plans for tonight." He sighed, running a hand through his bronze hair.
"What plans?" I asked curiously.
"Well to tell you the truth," he paused giving me a cautious look " I was planning on asking you to marry me tonight." He said, rubbing the back of his neck as he gave me that crooked smile I love so much that was now killing me inside. Now it was my turn.
"Oh." Was all I could manage to say? Seriously? Out of all the nights I had to be a bitch and break Edward's heart… so his next statement took me aback.
"But you know..." he stopped, seeing the shock in my eyes. "I'm sure we can work something out." He said with a glint of mischief in his eyes.
This could be fun…
