A/N: Hey y'all it's KC!!! For the past few weeks I've been thinking about writing a story where Bella meets Tanya before the wedding. So today I decided to write it down to see how it would go- and I like it so far. Just warning you- there will be some major angst and major romance in this series. If you are looking for something happy and romantic then I would like to suggest that you read my other stories- Edward's Massage or Cinder-Bella. When the series is finished I will post a play list of all the songs that I used. Thanks!!! Review!!!---KC101
"I love you," Edward whispered in my ear for the seventh time.
"I love you too," I whispered back for the eighth. We were laying on the couch together, Edward laying behind me with his chest pressed against my back, tangled together in the thick afghan. We were suppose to be watching the movie, but right now I couldn't even remember the name of it.
Edward kissed my cheek.
"My Bella." He crooned against my skin. " My sweet Bella. No one in the world could tear us apart."
"No one." I agreed and ran my fingers down his arm that was wrapped around me.
This was perfect. We were perfect.
We had been engaged for two weeks now and Alice was having a jolly good time planning our wedding. I didn't really care about that, the only thing that mattered was Edward and I together forever.
I turned in his arms to face him. He smiled his crooked smile and pulled me tighter against his chest.
Charlie had to leave for four days because of some police officer training that he had to go to every year to keep his license, giving me four days with Edward without my father checking on us. Of course Charlie thought that I was spending this time with Alice under the super vision of Carlisle and Esme.
I kissed my way up his neck, along his jaw line to his chin, and finally his lips. I don't know how long I kissed him, but after a while he pushed me back just enough to separate our lips. My face was flushed and my heart rate and breathing were erratic.
"Bella, love, I enjoy it when you kiss me, but I really don't want you to suffocate," He chuckled.
I sighed and pressed my cheek against his neck. I couldn't wait until I was like him. I wouldn't need oxygen so I could kiss him as long as I wanted. I began to think of all the good things that would come after I was changed. I would be strong, fast, and most of all, beautiful. I could stand by him and feel like I was good enough to be there.
My musing was interrupted by Edward's cell phone ringing. He pulled it out of his pocket and answered it. I could feel the vibrations in his throat as he talked.
"Hello, Alice…Why?…Ok I'll be there in about ten minutes." He hung up and sighed in frustration.
"What's going on?"
"Alice wants us to go to the house right now. She wont tell me why." He said and hugged me closer.
"Can we stay like this for just a few more minutes?" I begged. I probably sounded like a little kid.
"Sure we can." He kissed the top of my head. A half second later his phone rang again. He flipped it open, but before he could say anything there was a pixie voice on the other end.
"Get here now!" She screamed and hung up.
"Wow. I think we should do what she wants," I mumbled.
In one smooth movement, Edward stood up with me in his arms and unwrapped us from the blanket. He carried me to the Volvo and buckled me in. The ride to his house was quiet and peaceful. We held hands and gazed into each other's eyes. It seemed like Edward had forgotten the road completely.
We pulled in to the garage and Edward cut the engine. He suddenly stiffened and became as still as a statue, his face grave.
"Edward, what's wrong?"
He turned his head to look at me. His eyes were slightly unfocused, listening to thoughts coming from inside the house. He lightly squeezed my hand.
"Bella, we have a visitor."
I looked at him in shock. Was the Volturi checking on me already? I began to panic. Edward gently stroked my cheek.
"Calm down, love." He murmured.
"Who is it?"
"She's one of our friend's from the Denali Clan. Her name is Tanya."
My thoughts instantly went back to the night that I had asked Edward about "Tanya and all those females" as Rosalie put it. He had seemed uncomfortable telling me about it. Apparently, Tanya liked Edward, but I couldn't blame her for that, and she tried to make a move to get him. But Edward had turned her down., making me feel a little bit better. But then I began to think of what she would look like. She had strawberry blonde hair and she would be beautiful. She would be so much more beautiful than me. What if Edward realized this? Of course he would! He would leave me again for her. I knew it. I felt the forgotten hole in my chest rip itself open.
I felt cool strong arms pull me out of the car and hold me tight.
"Bella? Bella, what's wrong!" Edward said as he wiped away tears that I hadn't realized were falling.
"Please don't leave me," I whimpered. A confused look crossed his face, then hurt.
"I will never leave you. Why do you doubt that?"
"Well, what if…" I couldn't finish.
"Is this about meeting Tanya?" I nod.
"Sweetheart, I would never leave you for another woman." He hugged me closer and sighed. "But I do need to warn you, she is very jealous of you. And she is probably going to try to make you feel… unworthy. But don't let her. You hear me?"
I looked up into his eyes and nod again.
"You are beautiful and I love you," He said and leaned down to kiss me.
He really knew what to say to help me with my little self-esteem. I knew that meeting Tanya wasn't going to be easy and I was scared, but it's better to do it sooner than later.
Edward wrapped his arm around my waist and lead me towards the house.
"I love you," He whispered again and kissed my cheek.
Then he opened the door and pulled me in. Standing in the living room with her arm linked with Rosalie's, was Tanya.
