Chapter 10. Waking up Burned from the Devil
I woke up to light shining through the hotel room's window. I immediately lifted a hand up groggily to cover my eyes from the light. The light stung my eyes, yes, but I didn't care at the moment. I felt like I was glowing. That's when I remembered last night.
A smile grew on my lips and I turned under the thin sheet that covered my naked body while my eager hand searched the other side of the bed for the man I had so deeply fallen for and now officially given everything to. When my hand came up empty though, I shifted in bed, making sure one hand held the sheet to my bare chest just incase someone came in.
He wasn't there. I looked around hoping to see the clothes we had thrown on the floor last night or maybe even some of the suitcases we had brought in…but nothing was there.
Everything. I gave him everything and now…he was gone. Stupid Bella! I huffed out a loud cry but muffled it into the soft pillows. I cried for a long time, punching the pillows for my stupidity. He was a killer. A mobster and you fell for it! You even told him you LOVED him for god's sakes!
I was still sobbing when I felt like I needed a shower. I felt used, like someone had taken advantage of everything I had so kindly offered on a silver platter. Yeah, I'm stupid alright.
I hunched over the edge of the bed after I had swung my legs over and wrapped walked into the large bathroom. I found the large tub and turned on the water so that it was burning hot. After I added some bubbles and let it run I walked over to the mirror while I let the tub fill up.
When I got to the mirror I saw my puffy, red eyes and twisted, knotted hair on end and sighed, knowing I would have a lot of work to do before I could face the music and see if Edward was at least decent enough to leave me some money so I could get back to forks and explain to Charlie why I had run away fro about two or three days. Then I would have to beg for my old job back so I could pay off the mortgage and student loans with Charlie's pay and mine.
I pulled up my tangled hair into a bun after brushing the tangles out and washed my face with a bar of soap that lay on the counter top next to the sink. After that I could see the fog starting to rise on the mirror in front of me and I spotted the tub in the mirror as well. It was about full so I calmly walked over and turned off the water before slipping into the hot water.
At first the burning stung my skin but soon my body adjusted and instead of a burning it was a slight comforting tingle all over my skin. I sighed when I saw a small radio beside the tub and I turned it on a popular pop station. The music took over me for a minute and when a song about heart break and loosing your heart came on a few tears escaped my eyes.
I really felt special with him and even thought he would be my way out permanently. I guess I was just stupid again. I got lost in the moment and allowed myself to sink into the water until my chin barely grazed the bubbles covered every inch of my body. that's when I felt it.
I felt someone's hands in my hair and I squealed, jumping up-causing water to splash everywhere!-and looked up to see a set of emerald green eyes staring back at me lovingly.
"I'm sorry!" he chuckled looking over his now soaked black trousers and white button up that was stained with something red. He shook his hands out and I covered my chest immediately, not only in anger but in surprise. Why had he come back?
"W-why are you back?" I asked inching away from him against the other end of the tub. Edward narrowed his eyes in anger and clenched his jaw.
"What are you doing?" he asked coldly as I tried to get as far away from him.
"You left. Why are you back? To give me money or something because honestly, I don't need your freaking money. I'll just leave and go back to work at the diner! I'll go to college and I promise you'll never see me again!" I said stepping out of the tub and wrapped myself in one of the beautiful gold towels around my body.
"What are you talking about?" Edward asked standing up from the stool he had placed behind the tub to play with my hair.
"YOU LEFT ME ALONE IN BED!!!" I yelled angrily and turned to face him, even though he was about four feet away from me.
"Don't talk to me like that Bella. It's not very wise to talk to a…" Edward said looking down at his shirt for a moment and a flash of anger flared through his eyes.
"A what? A mobster?! Is that what you were gunna say? You don't have to hide it! Kill me if you want! I don't care! At least it'd be better than going back to that hell hole Forks!" I said looking straight into his eyes. Edward was so mad now his face was practically purple.
"STOP IT! YOU WILL NOT TALK TO ME LIKE THIS! I REFUSE IT!" Edward snapped back harshly. I was still fuming so I kept going.
"You REFUSE it! I don't give a CRAP if you refuse anything! I will talk to you anyway I want you stupid ass-" I started but before I could say another word Edward strode easily towards me and crushed his lips against mine. I pushed away at first and slapped him so hard my own hand hurt but before I knew it he pulled me back and soon I gave in and…I was kissing him back.
I pushed all my anger and frustration and sadness into that kiss and I couldn't help but moan into the kiss lightly at how passionate and fiery this little kiss was. Edward pulled away and laid his forehead against mine before speaking while he panted for air.
"I didn't mean to leave you and let you think that I had just left. I had some things I had to take care of for…work." Edward said as tears of fury ran down my face. They stopped when he said this and I looked up at him in surprise.
"But-" I started but he pressed a finger to my lips and spoke so softly I thought I would melt.
"But nothing Bella. When I told you I loved you last night and then when we made love….I thought I would be punished for being so happy." he said chuckling darkly, but I knew behind it all he had really thought he would be punished. "I mean I had been with other woman before, sadly, but I've NEVER had as much love for them as I have for you…" Edward said grabbing my hand and placing it on his crimson and water soaked shirt.
I bit my lower i and I sighed sadly. I pressed my free hand against his cheek that I had slapped, hoping to soothe that red hand print on his beautiful skin. Soon my hand sliped from his face all the way down to his chest and I unbuttoned his shirt, but before I could remove it fully, I had to ask him something.
"Edward, how did you stain your shirt?" I asked looking up into his lust covered eyes. He snapped out of it and now his eyes turned sad and grief stricken along with anger and hatred. He looked away from me but still held me in his wonderful arms.
"I had some work to do…" Edward said hanging his head and closing his eyes. I sighed and pressed my hand against his bare chest and felt his heart beat.
"I'm sorry for what I said about…you know." I said as blush raised upon my cheeks. Edward huffed softly and looked down at me with love totally filling his beautiful eyes.
"You shouldn't be sorry Bella. You're right. I'm a heartless killer. Just like you said." he said looking away from me again. I shook my head violently and turned so my face was right in front of his.
"That's not true Edward." I said softly kissing his jaw.
"Yes it-" he started but I cut him off instantly.
"No it's not! Because if it were I wouldn't be able to fell this right here!" I said holding my hand over his heart. I could feel it's beat quicken slightly when I said that but it wasn't in anger. Edward stared at me with shock in his eyes but it was quickly replaced by love.
Edward crushed his lips to mine and before I knew it, I was pulling off his shirt, throwing it as far as I cold so her wouldn't see it.
"I love you so much Bella." Edward whispered softly against my lips.
"I love you too Edward. I love you so much…" I said softly.
Still keeping my hands on his heart…
