Chapter 4

Bella's POV

I stared in shock as Edward entered my classroom and put his briefcase on the desk, He looked up and scanned the room, and His eyes fell on me. He was my teacher, Out of all the schools and all the classes he could teach; it had to be mine. The guy I was falling in love with and was dating was my teacher.

I could feel the tears burn my eyes, He stood there with the same look I'm sure I was giving him. This could not be happening.

It suddenly clicked in my head; that's what Alice and he were arguing about the other night. She knew what he teaches; she knew what class I took. She knew; and she didn't tell me. Did he know to? I didn't know what to do or how to get through the next hour but I composed myself and put on a fake smile. He would know straight away.

He broke eye contact with me and moved around from his desk to the front of the class

"I'm Professor Cullen, Your professor for the next semester. I take it you have been learning from your text books the last week. However I like to begin from the beginning."

He looked at me for a brief second before continuing "Architecture; The term Architecture can be used to mean a process, a profession or documentation."

He continued to talk for the most of the class, every now and then asking the class questions, but never once calling on me for an answer. He would give me quick glances every now and then but was very focused on the class. I listen as best I could but at times my mind kept wondering back to our date last week and the kisses we had shared. My body had ached for his touch all week, not being able to see him was the worst pain I have ever felt. And now I would never be able to feel his lips on mine; His touch; ever again.

Class was finally over; Edward sat at his desk reading over some paperwork as students started to disperse from the room. I stayed back and sat at my desk, not moving. I needed to know if he knew, I needed answers. I finally start to put my heart on the line and it gets ripped out just as I always knew it would.

He looked up as the door clicked shut and the last student left.

"Bella" He sighed getting up, He looked as upset as me

"Did you know?" I asked him with Venom in my tone

"No, I honestly didn't" He said reaching my desk "There are a lot of classes in the subject, there was a very minimal chance I would end up teaching your class"

"But you knew what I studied, and more to the point you knew I went to this college, you took a Job here, and you knew" my voice my rising "I never asked you where you were teaching, this is my own fault" I said half talking to myself.

"Bella" He said coming down to my level "I'm sorry, I knew there was a chance I would be your professor, but not until after I had met you, I told myself it would be a bad idea, But Your just so..."

He couldn't get his words out so I stopped him "Edward, Shit Professor Cullen I mean"

"Please don't call me that" he cringed

"That's what you are; my professor" I felt a tear escape and trickle down my cheek "We can't do this, you are my professor, what we have...had...Is over, you know it has to be" I could feel more tears making their way out.

He brushed them away with his finger "Bella, I don't think I can walk away from you"

"Well then let me" I mumbled, trying to catch my breath and stop the tears

"Is that really what you want" He asked just as I stood up

I spun around angrily "Edward, You lied to me, your sister lied to me. You knew there was a possibility and you never once mentioned it to me, you have avoided me the last week because you knew. You knew there was a chance."

Edward slumped into a chair and dropped his head into his hands. I stood at the door, wishing I had the strength to leave. I needed to get away.

"Edward"

He looked up at me "Bella I'm in love with you"

My breath caught in my throat, he had just told me he loved me; my heart thumped wildly as I digested his words.

"It's not enough Edward" I managed to say before I exited the classroom; tears falling freely now.

I was sitting home by myself, the tears had only stopped about an hour ago, my body was exhausted; I had gone to the next class after Edwards but couldn't handle it so ended up going back to my dorm. I had not left the sofa yet. Sitting there with a box of tissues and a bag of popcorn I watched mindless TV while I thought back to mine and Edward's conversation.

Alice arrived home about 6.30. I was still in the same spot; although my bag of popcorn had finished.

Looking over at me as she placed her bag on the table; she immediately looked alarmed "Bella, what's wrong?"

"As if you don't know Alice" I said icily

"He is your professor?" she said in a rhetorical question tone

"Yes he is" I loudly let out

"Bella, I'm so sorry. I tried to tell him it was a bad idea but he was so smitten with you, he wouldn't listen to anyone"

"So why didn't you tell me?" I looked over and our eyes met. I could see panic in her eyes

"I tried Bella, But I couldn't, you looked so happy when you were getting ready for your date, I just want you to be happy" She said in almost a whisper.

How could I stay angry at Alice, She had quickly become my best friend, There was no reason to stay upset with her. "It's ok Alice, It just wasn't meant to be"

Alice suddenly laughed

"Why are you laughing?"

She placed her hand on my arm "Bella, anyone can see you and my brother are meant to be! Well not anyone but I can see. I have a feeling"

"Alice get real. He is my professor, yes; there was something there but it's over. Nothing can ever happen now"

She looked at me with her big eyes; she seemed almost as upset as me.

"Yeah you're right" She grabbed my hand "what can I do to cheer you up?"

I thought about this; I was a mess, I needed a shower and definitely something to eat

"Let's go out, I feel like a wine and a dance"

Alice jumped up from the sofa and grabbed me up "That a fabulous idea" she squealed

I had to smile; Alice had a way of making me happy. "I'll just call Rosalie and see if she wants to come" She smiled and bounced off to her bedroom.

I headed into my room and started going through things I could wear out; Knowing Alice though this was a waste of time. I found a few things and placed them on the bed.

Alice came bouncing in about 5 minutes later clutching a heap of clothes in her small arms. She threw them on the bed and I instantly found her in my face nearly taking my clothes off for me.

"Alice, I can dress myself" I found myself giggling slightly. She was always to energetic

"Sorry" she smiled then walked over the bed and threw something at me "Put this on".

We did this for about 20 minutes before we finally found the outfit. It was a black tight skirt that came to just above the knees; a hot pink halter top that flowed out around my hips and long black loose boots. She did my hair and applied some makeup.

I didn't usually wear makeup but I needed a little confidence tonight, I'd had a terrible day.

We were about to leave when a knock came on the door. "Can you get it" Alice yelled from the bathroom.

I opened the door to find Emmett, Rosalie, Jasper and none other than Edward standing there. Edward clearly looked uncomfortable. He kept his head down and refused to make eye contact with me. I brushed it off and opened the door for them.

Walking in; Emmett made his way over the fridge and pulled out some beers, handing one to Jasper and Edward and opening one for himself.

"How's things Bella?" Emmett asked taking a seat on the sofa.

"Fine thanks Emmett" I tried to put my best fake smile on

Alice came out of the bathroom and ran straight into Jaspers arms. They shared a kiss; simple yet romantic and she pulled away from him.

"So where are you boys going tonight" Alice asked, still clutching onto jasper.

I looked over to Edward who was standing next to Rosalie, he peered up and our eyes met. I could feel the tears well up again. "Excuse me" I suddenly blurted and bolted for the bathroom.

I could hear them talking; I sat on the bathroom floor with my head in my hands. I couldn't even look at Edward; I don't know how I was going to sit in his class for next 10 weeks.

I heard Alice say to Edward he shouldn't have come round; but I didn't hear his response. I was sitting silent and still waiting for more talking but none came. After a couple of minutes a small tap came on the door. I quickly wiped away the tears in my eyes and got up off the floor.

"Come in" my voice was horse

"Bella" Alice said opening the door "Are you ok?"

"Yeah I'm fine" I lied

She came in and walked up to me. "Edward and the boys have gone"

Taking a deep breath I smiled at Alice "Let's go have some fun"
