Infidelity

Chapter One: Let's Call the Whole Thing Off

"You know, this is not going to work", she broke the awkward silence between them. It was one of the many awkward silences they have one too many times, especially after their lovemaking when they both lie on her bed, in each other's arms, thinking of how on freaking earth did they chance upon one another.

His fingers twirled her strands of dark brown hair. "What?"
He knew what she meant, it was not the first time she's brought this up. The first time she brought it up, they have just met for two months and now, six months since that first time, nothing has changed.

She pulled away from him, propped her elbow up as a support and looked at him, deep in the pair of green orangey eyes that she could swim in with her brown ones. "This thing. You and me".

"Come on', he sighed, and ran his hands up and down the soft skin of her arms. "Are we going to talk about that again?"

"Edward", she sat up, hugging the sheets to her naked body that he's grown accustommed to, "I'm serious"

He hated pressure. She knew he hated pressure and yet she still pushed it. He got up and picked up his clothes from the floor. "We'll talk another time". She watched him get dressed and headed for the bathroom, leaving her with no answer, no nothing- just her alone on the bed.

And she should have known better not to push her luck with Edward Cullen.

ooooooooooooooooooooo

"Edward's coming over tonight", Bella Swan had a bag of groceries in her right hand and her best friend in another. She asked her out on a beautiful day to go for coffee and grocery shopping with her. Her best friend was always there, not because she didn't have to work, but simply because she wanted to be there for her everything. They stopped at a florist along the way, where the fresh sunflowers of the day caught Bella's eyes.

The sister of the subject, Alice Cullen looked at her best friend and how she lits up when her brother became the topic. She sighed, "You're playing with 're going to get burned". She was being honest, as much as she loved her brother, as much as she loved her best friend.

Bella put down the bouquet of sunflowers and reached for the daisies instead. She said knowingly, "I know Alice". She turned to Alice, finally made up her mind to settle with a bouquet of daisies for her living room, "Do you think I don't know that?'

She handed a ten dollar bill to the florist and they continued walking down the street.

Alice slung her arm across Bella's shoulder, "I don't want to see you getting your heart broken". And all she got in return was a smile from Bella.

Bella was absolutey thrilled with the dinner that she was going to make for Edward tonight. It was their 2nd year anniversary and she had taken a day off from her work at the restaurant to get everything ready. That evening, she had begun setting everything up, knowing that Edward was going to walk through the door any moment. She made sure that her pasta was spicy enough like how he loves it, she made sure that the chocolate mousse was not too sweet as how he'd prefer.

Just when she was busy making the remainder, the salad, her phone rang with the ringtone personalised by Edward himself. Without having to look at the caller ID, she immediately spoke into the phone, "Bad timing".

His voice was dull, and in a calm manner, he broke it to her. "I can't come over tonight"

Her ladle dropped into the bowl causing a loud "clunk". Bella took a deep breath, that ended up in 15 seconds. "Bella?", Edward called out from the otherside.

"It's fine", with that, she hung up and threw her phone aside with no warning, thankfully it landed on her beanie bag. She ran her hands through her hair and looked at the mess she went through just for him. Bella took another deep breath, this time short and quick, and this time she got it over with in a blink. She turned to Alice, "Stay for dinner?", with a smile.
