What was his problem? Even when he was jealous he never got this rude. He had never even called me names when he was kidding. My head instantly started hurting. I can't believe that I am going to have to deal with him when he was being so incoherent. "Mike, what the hell is your problem?"
"You damn well know what my problem is. I show up here to help make you feel better and bring you a bear and flowers, to find you cheating one me?!"
He was being so irrational. "Mike, I am not cheating on you, Edward was at my house when I"
"He was at your house. What was he there for? What, were you two having sex when you hit your head or something."
"Oh yeah, Mike, let me tell you. I haven't been cheating on you, but I will if you want me too. All I would have to do is go work at the strip club and I could get someone in no time. Now are you going to stop being so irrational and start listening to me?"
"No, bitch, I am not going to listen to another fucking thing you say. We are through. You are too much of a whore for me." While Mike was saying this I saw Edward clench and unclench his jaw. It reminded me of my dream on how defensive he was getting. Why would he care so much? He just met me.
"Mike, Mike Newton, I presume," Edward said as he stood up. His hands were balled up into fists and he looked pissed. "You are one jealous little fellow aren't you?" Mike didn't know what to do. If I didn't know any better I would say he was drunk, but Mike was completely against alcohol.
"What's it to you and how the hell do you know my name freak? Did she whisper it to you while you two were doing the nasty? Did she scream my name a lot? Was it good?" Edward was even more pissed now. He lifted his fist pulled it back and punched Mike dead on. Mike tried to fight back, but Edward was too fast for him. Edward had Mike's back to me along with his arms as if Mike was going to be handcuffed and taken to jail.
"Bella isn't a bitch. We didn't have sex and she didn't cheat on you." Edward was talking through clenched teeth and barely talking into Mikes left ear. He tightened his grip while he talked. "You need to learn who to call a slut and who to call out. Bella wouldn't even have to work in a strip club to cheat on you. All she would have to do is walk around a mall. You had her, now you dumped her. If I ever hear you speak another word to her I will break your arm." That is when Edward let go and Mike ran as fast as he could to get out of here. Edward turned and smiled at me. I couldn't help but blush and smile back. Mike was seriously gone. I didn't have to listening to his jealousy anymore. I was free of him. Thank God.
"What was that for?" Edward looked uncomfortable like he was embarrassed. He ws struggling to say what he was thinking.
"I feel that someone as beautiful as you shouldn't have to deal with assholes like Mike. He had no right to judge you like that."
"I don't know what came over him I mean he has never," that was when it caught up to me. Someone as beautiful as you, he thought I was beautiful? I blushed again.
"What? Why are you blushing?"
"You really think I am beautiful?" He looked embarrassed again.
"Yeah…I mean...I just think that…Yes I do." Then he looked away from me and I fought so hard to keep from smiling.
"So you wanted to know why I fainted." He just nodded. He wouldn't look back at my face and for that I was partially grateful. "Well last night I had a dream."
"About your mother's funeral," It wasn't a question but a statement.
"No, that is just what I told Charlie. I had a dream that I was in this dark room tied up. Beside me was Mike dead. And you," he looked at me then. "You were walking through the halls calling my name. There was so much concern and care. I didn't understand. So when I saw that someone as gorge…I mean that you were not just a figment of my imagination I freaked and fainted." Edward had his hand folded along my cheek and stared into my eyes.
"What were you going to say?" A slow smile crept across Edward's face. I blushed again and turned my head away from him.
"I was going to say that when I saw someone as gorgeous as my dream existed." I felt an odd attraction to him. I had just met him. Why were my feelings toward him so strong? Edward grabbed my chin lightly and turned my face toward him. He brought his face close to mine and I thought he was about to kiss me when he stopped a few inches away from my face.
"I can't believe that someone as gorgeous as you has ever existed." I closed the little space between us and pressed my lips to his softly. I pulled away quick. What had I just done? I just met him. Maybe I am a slut. Edward smiled a beautiful crooked smile and kissed me again. His kiss was sweet like strawberries. I was about to pull him closer to me when someone cleared their throat. I pulled back and looked behind Edward to the door.
"Shit."
