I should be better than this. I should be able to control myself. I shouldn't have this irrational desire to rip this inferior human limb from limb and feed him to a bear… And there I go again.

But then again, she was my girlfriend. I had the right to be jealous. He had no right to be talking to my Bella.

'Breathe, Edward, breathe. Give her space.' I told myself. I managed to restrain myself from going over and wringing his little neck for being anywhere near my beautiful, fragile Bella. But it was definitely wearing on my self-control to sit here and do nothing while that vile Mike

Newton got closer and closer to Bella, who was completely oblivious to his thoughts and advances.

"So, I was wondering…" Mike began. Bella looked at him, curious. I heard his intentions in his thoughts, and immediately stiffened.

"What, Mike?" Bella asked softly, curious.

"What are you doing Friday night?" Mike asked.

"I'm going to hang out at the Cullen's house, like I always do. Why?" Bella asked, completely innocently. She didn't expect anything.

"Well… I sort of wanted to know… If maybe… You would like to… maybe… come to dinner with me in Port Angeles?" Mike asked, looking rather awkward. I growled- a subconscious reaction- at the human's stupidity.

"I have a boyfriend, Mike. You know that right?" Bella asked exasperatedly.

"I'm sure he won't mind if you missed one night at his house." Mike pressed.

"I'm sure he would," Bella replied. "Plus, I promised Alice I'd go shopping with her. I'm having a sleepover there."

"At the Cullen's?" Mike sounded surprised. I suppressed the smile that was fighting it's way onto my face.

"Yes. At the Cullen's," Bella said, smiling slightly. She turned to walk toward where I was sitting at our usual lunch table, when Mike grabbed her by the arm. I was out of my seat and heading over before anyone could blink.

"Please, Bella. Give me a chance!" Mike pleaded, pulling her closer by her arm. Her eyes were wide, and she looked like a deer in the headlights.

"I believe that she said no, Mike." I snarled. I wasn't in the mood to mess with him. I should have had better control, but sometimes it's so hard.

"That's her choice, Cullen" Mike said.

"No thanks, Mike. I'll see you later." Bella replied coolly, before wrenching her arm back from Mike and grabbing my hand, gently tugging me back to our table. Her touch calmed me slightly, but my wrath was still tangible in the air.

Well, what do you think? This idea has been floating around ever since he ECC brought up the Seven Deadly Sins. The sins, in case you didn't know, are Wrath, Lust, Greed, Sloth, Pride, Envy, and Gluttony.
