Chapter 4:
EPOV for the first time! I hope I get it right!:
Once again Tanya managed to get me away from my Bella. She was an irritating thorn in my side and I just wanted to make up with Bella. Tanya pulled out her bottom lip in a pout. "Edward!" she whined. but right now Tanya's emotions were the thing that least mattered. I growled again, trying to look much more sinister and aggressive. In the next moment I heard in Tanya's thoughts her next plan she was going to put into action right now. I gasped just as Tanya said " Now, Eddy is that anyway to treat your fiancée?" She trust her left hand out at Bella who gasped at the sight of the huge ring on Tanya's finger.
I expected Bella to blow up the minute she saw the ring Tanya and just a few minutes ago switched from her right to her left. I had never asked her to marry me, it was all a lie. "Bella!" I pleaded "Would you believe me or that liar?" she paused for a second and then said "You know Edward, you helped after the accident and healed me but now, feeling is worse than what I felt when I fell. I would have believed you before but now? Edward you have kept many secrets from me: You don't love me, you clearly love Tanya, I never knew she existed until last night, and now you are still following me? Edward, you don't love me so why can't you let go?" I felt a shiver of unease, in just one day I had ruined all the trust and our relationship between Bella and I. I had underestimate Tanya and now I was paying for it.
I looked into her nearly black eyes and saw all the pain and sadness I had caused her. "Bella, if you would just give me a chance. I promise you it is worth hearing" For a heartbeat I thought she would refuse but then she silently nodded. I stood up and held out my hand to help her up, she ignored it. Tanya tried to follow us but I growled at her and said "If you dare come move from that spot I will rip you apart, just like you have ripped other things apart" My threat sounded serious so she calmly sat down and tried not to show her fear. Finally, that smug smile was off her face.
We ran for a couple of minutes until I couldn't hear Tanya's thoughts anymore. I sat down on a low branch to a tree and motioned for Bella to join me. She was hesitant and wouldn't meet my eyes. I gently cupped her face between my hands so that she would look at me. "Let me explain at the beginning....." I began " We met the Denali's when we were visiting Alaska to escape from the summer sun. I noticed Irena first and started a conversation with her. When we found out that we were both vegetarians she invited our family over. We accepted, of course and went over later that evening. I noticed Tanya looking at me a lot but I was less than happy about her thoughts, she was as shallow as a kiddy pool and never thought of anyone else except occasionally her sisters. She came on to me right away but I politely turned her down. I didn't know she still had feelings until this morning. I felt no need to mention it to you because I thought it would upset you and Tanya is not a huge person in my life. But anyways, when I was exploring the ship I got lonely and missed you. I went to our cabin and outside I saw a pale vampire that looked exactly like you. I only saw the back of Tanya's head and she was wearing a wig. She had your clothes on and your smell overpowered hers. There was a man a couple feet away screaming his thoughts, so it appeared she were silent. Without thinking I grabbed Tanya and kissed her, that's when you came in. I looked at you and couldn't believe my eyes. I looked back and saw Tanya, smirking at you. I was so shocked and you didn't give me a chance to explain. I couldn't lose you." Bella's eyes grew wide before they closed as slits. " Edward, everything you say makes sense but I don't know how I can put all this behind me." My face fell. "Her eyes softened as she continued "but I will try as hard as I can to do that. Edward, I trust you over Tanya but let me tell you, if she gets within 50 feet of you I have the right to destroy her." I searched her face but she was totally serious, which was fine by me. My family would probably kill Tanya anyways.
"Fine by me" I chuckled before pulling her into my arms and giving her a passionate kiss. It was cut short by a growl and Tanya appeared out of the bushes "No!" she screeched. Great, I was too preoccupied my our conversation that I didn't notice Tanya's thoughts. Before either one of us could say anything Tanya sprang at Bella.
