Prologue
We had broken up for good just an hour before
Uh uh uh, uh uh uh uh uh
Now I'm staring at the bodies as there's dancin' 'cross the floor
Uh uh uh, uh uh uh uh uh
And then the band slowed the tempo and the music gets me down
Uh uh uh, uh uh uh uh uh
It was the same old song with the melancholy sound
Uh uh uh, uh uh uh uh uh
They don't write 'em like that anymore
They just don't write 'em like that anymore
Greg Khin Band – The Breakup Song
Bella POV
"What are you saying? You want to break up with me?"
"Bella please understand. I love you but you're not taking this relationship seriously."
"What?"
"Come on Bella. We have been dating for 5 months now and you haven't introduced me to any of your friends or family, I don't have a key to your place even though you have one for mine and we haven't even had sex."
"So that's what this is about? Sex?"
"Bella..."
"No don't Bella me. I thought you understood that I wasn't ready yet."
"I do. I did."
I sat there stunned.
"I really just feel that I need a more physical relationship. Not a primary school crush which is what it seems you're having."
A single tear rolled down my cheek. This was so humiliating. My first serious boyfriend and he was dumping me.
Tonight was supposed to be perfect. I'd spent the day with one of my best friends Alice getting everything perfect tonight. My boyfriend was an angel for waiting so long for our relationship to move to the next level. I'd been thinking of taking the next step for a while now and thanks to Alice tonight was going to be that night.
Starting with dinner we were going to take a romantic walk back to his place where it would happen. My first time with the man I love.
Half way through dinner it all started going south.
"This isn't primary school. This is the real thing for me. I love you."
"As I love you but it just isn't enough anymore."
And with that I watched the man I loved stand, retrieve his wallet and put money on the table.
"I'll see you at work Bella."
I sat and watched him walk away. My friend. My ex-boyfriend. My boss.
Edward POV
What a boring night. I had to watch my sister Alice play Barbie on my roommate Bella. I over heard them talking about Bella giving her virginity to her boyfriend. I was shocked. They had been dating a while and with Bella spending many a night at his house I'd figured that they had already done the deed. Not that it mattered much to me. Bella was a friend and my room mate. Nothing more.
As soon as the girls left I settled down for a quiet night.
Normally I spend my Saturday nights out on the town and enjoying myself. A few drinks and a few girls and I'm happy.
But tonight I just wasn't in the mood.
So sitting in front of the TV watching a game of football with a beer is what this man has for his agenda for the night.
Bella would be spending the night at her boyfriends' house so no interruptions of my bonding time with the couch and TV.
SLAM
My head automatically looked to the door where I saw her.
Red puffy eyes, hair messed up. Looking like her dog just died.
"Bella what's wrong?"
"He... he... he dumped me."
I lead her over to the couch for her to sit down.
"I can't believe it Edward. We were sitting there eating dinner not a care in the world when all of a sudden he says 'Bella we need to talk'. He thinks that I'm not committed to the relationship and thinks its all too primary school. Can you believe that?"
I sat there in silence. I didn't know what to say. Here was my friend hurting over a man. The last thing she needed was another man telling her everything was going to be ok.
I stood up.
"Edward where are you going?"
"Don't worry Bella. I'm just getting the phone to call Alice. I think she would be a lot better at making you feel better than I could."
"Thanks Edward."
20 minutes later I hear a knock at the door. I open it to find my twin sister push me out of the way, pull Bella to her feet and take her into Bella's room. She looked to be carrying a lot of chocolate and ice-cream.
Good choice to call Alice.
Bella POV
As much as I love Edward, I was really happy when he told me he was calling Alice. She was my best friend and would know exactly what I need to make me feel better.
In 20 minutes Alice was knocking on the door and dragging me to my room with all the best kind of break-up food.
I told her the whole story.
"You don't think he was seeing somebody else for sex do you?"
"Bella I really don't know but who cares. He is a dog and doesn't deserve you."
"Try telling my heart that Ali. Somehow it's not that easily convinced with chocolate and ice-cream."
"Don't worry Bella. You have me and Rose. We will help you get through this."
I smiled at her. But it didn't quite reach my eyes.
But then I remembered I had work tomorrow. He would be there. He is there everyday. Of course he would be. He was my boss. We tried to keep our relationship out of work as much as possible. But how was I supposed to be civil and nice to the man who has just broken my heart.
When I voiced my concerns to Alice she just promised to give me a super hot sexy makeover and try and make him regret dumping me and come crawling back on hands and knees.
Oh yeah work tomorrow isn't going to be awkward at all.
