"Why? You just couldn't wait? Do you enjoy doing this? Do you enjoy showcasing all of this in front of everyone?" she yells. Her eyes are on fire and her jaw is clenched – looking at me for answers I am in no right mind to give.
I pull the cig up to my mouth, lips curling around it and take in a drag. We are staring at each other, everyone has moved to the other end of the outside area. They understand – they have seen these arguments before. Me being an ass and her always trying to bring me back.
She glares at me waiting for an answer. But my eyes are focused on her lips. She licks them and bits her bottom lip out of frustration. Her hands go up to her hair and she pulls her hair into a sloppy bun taking a deep breath trying to remain calm. Her eyes dart up as she looks past me to her friends huddled together by the fence – each one of them ready to take action and beat my ass if she is hurt in anyway.
I stalk towards her slowly. She backs up towards the wall. My eyes are glowing with anger, frustration, lust, love, desire and need. Jasper steps out of the back door of the club. He knows my games all too well – he knows where this will end up.
"Edward" he says. Calm infusing the heated and electric environment. "Leave her alone and get your ass back in the club"
"No, we need to talk" I state. My jaw clenching, my hands in fists at my sides. " She needs to listen to me."
"Don't make me get Em out here Edward. Tonight is not the night. Look around you. Everyone is here, they aren't going to let you have this talk with her right now. They will protect her tonight. Tonight is her night. They are here for her." Jasper says.
"Edward…get your ass away from her NOW!" shouts Crispy as he barrels through the crowd that has gathered at the other end. He stands at the front of the crowd as they slowly form a circle around him. He is gripping his cane in his hand – waiting. "Enough with this. You can talk to her later. It is her birthday – she is supposed to be enjoying it not dealing with your high as a kite, pissed off and jealous for no damned good reason ass."
I take one look around at everyone, walk forward and push her into the wall gripping her face in my hands and kiss her roughly – my teeth bit into her bottom lip. I hear her growl in frustration and then feel her hands on my chest pushing me away. I push back into her letting her feel my anger and desire. Suddenly I feel a sharp pain in my jaw. I step back unsure of what just happened. She glares at me and through clenched teeth lowly states, "Back off, Edward. Find my Dark Angel and let him know I am looking for him. I need him back soon."
She walks around me into Jasper's waiting arms and before disappearing into the club looks at me with her cinnamon colored eyes and softly state, "You're breaking me and there are already a lot of cracks." Crispy walks to me, takes the top of his cane off reveling its hidden dagger. He puts the blade of the top against my throat hard enough to draw a little blood and try and shake me back into reality. "Back off of her Edward. She is the angel in this family; the mom and the one who saves us. We protect our family." As he starts to walk back to the club, he turns around and softly says, "She loves you. We love you, but she comes first. Bring her Dark Angel back – this personality is killing her." With that he walks through the doors into the club.
The rest of the crowd looks at me and parts down the middle while Alice opens the back gate. It is my cue to leave for the night. I stuff my hands into my pocket and walk towards the gate. As I pass her, Alice says, " Just couldn't control yourself, huh? Be careful Edward. She loves you and would die for you, but not even she can keep this up." I nod in the pixie's direction, pull my lip ring into mouth, and walk down the street away from the club towards our apartment.
