The Other Woman

"Who is this woman Alice saw you with?" I gave him the sternest look I could muster. He simply sat there as if I hadn't said a word.
"Edward, I asked you a question." I was starting to lose it; anger started growing inside of me. I was about to ask him again when there when were interrupted by a knock at the door.

Last night was absolutely the most wonderful night of my entire life. As soon as she fell asleep I admired her peaceful slumber before getting up to sit in the chair by the bed. I heard her murmur, "Edward, I love you." And mumble parts of her vows from our wedding. I couldn't help but smile. The love I have for her can never be quenched.
I brought out Bella's copy of Wuthering Heights and started reading where I had left off. Instead of reading at vampire speed, Bella suggested I read it at human speed so I could appreciate every word. I already had the book memorized but I did as she asked of me and it was taking me forever. I never knew something as simple as reading a book at human speed could frustrate me.
At around 4 am I decided to get some food for my beloved, knowing she wakes early. I decided to make her pancakes and dip strawberries in chocolate with an assortment of fruits and pour a glass of fresh orange juice. As I was fixing her breakfast, a familiar scent caught my attention. I looked around the kitchen calling on my vampire instincts to help detect the strange scent of familiarity. I turned toward the dining table and dropped the spatula, my mouth fell open in astonishment…..my sister.
"Amber?" Hesitantly, I took a step toward her wondering if I was just seeing her. She smiled the same crooked smile, her dull, red eyes gleamed with joy at my recognition.
"Hi, Ed" She gracefully hopped off the table walked over and picked up the spatula. "Since when did you eat human food?" She eyed the pancakes and fruits disgustedly.
"They're not for me. They're for my wife." I smiled as Amber suddenly understood the reason for the empty house and a smile appeared on her face as well.
"Congratulations, brother! What's her name? Where's she from? Can I meet her?" She was about to run up to stairs when I quietly said, "Stop, Amber."
She came back down the stairs with a hurt look on her face. I walked over to her to comfort her, "It's not that I don't want you to meet her, it's just, we're on our honeymoon."
The look of hurt was replaced with astonishment, "I didn't know Ed. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to intrude." She abruptly stopped with a confused look on her face as she looked at the food again, "Why are you cooking food for…" I stopped her before she could finish and gave her a stern look. She gasped and said, "You married a human? How is that possible? Does she know what you are?" I calmed her down and explained everything. From my voice to the anticipation that shined on my face as I told our story, she could tell that I truly did love Bella.
When I finished, she stood up and said, "So, when can I meet her?"
"Not today, you need to leave before she wakes up. Let me talk to her first than I'll call you to come. I promise." The look of disappointment instantly became anticipation as she pranced out the door.
I haven't seen my sister in almost 50 years. Why did she come back now? Is she in trouble? I need to have a serious conversation with her before she is anywhere near my wife.
