Prologue
Edward held my shoulders and looked me straight in the eye.
"Bella you remember when I went to Fiji, right?" There was a long pause. "when I was there, there was this other girl. Beach blonde, blue eyes, a perfect tan." he got this dreamy look in his eyes. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I slapped him and he got out of his flash back. "Oh right, anyway she was way prettier then you. And she appreciates the fact that I'm immortal."
I felt like I had just been slapped myself. "And I don't? Edward what are you saying. Were you cheating on me?"
He looked ashamed. " I don't like to use the words cheating, but technically yes. I was. But that's a whole different story. The point is were running away together. Me and Marie. It means husband in French."
"Thanks for the French lesson. So… you're dumping me?"
He looked down and wouldn't meet my eyes. "Yes, Bella I'm dumping you for a much prettier woman. An actual woman not just a teenager like you."
I couldn't help the urge to ask "Oh yeah, well how old is she?"
"twenty-two"
"Does she smell as good as me" he grinned and got that moony-eyed look again and I raised my hand to slap him. When he saw my hand he snapped out of it.
"Oh yes, but so much better!"
I paused racking my brain for another question. "Well… does she… read you you're favorite bedtime story the Unicorn's lost Toy?"
"Well, she doesn't exactly know about my obsession with the book. I figured that can wait until we get married."
I couldn't believe he didn't tell her about the book. He showed me his collection of the books merchandise on our third date. "Does she know about your collection?" I pressed.
He didn't answer. That obviously meant no. I was the better woman.
Then he repeated "I'm running away with her and you cant stop me!" I could tell he was about to cry. He was blinking back tears. "Goodbye Bella" he said one last time.
He started walking away as I called "Good Riddance!"
I got dumped. I angrily walked back to the house.
