Chapter 10

E . POV

I know I had no right asking her, but I wanted to know how far any of her relationships went. I was shocked and relived when she first said she hadn't slept with any one. Though the fact that any one had tried to, had upset me enough that I tighten my grip on the steering wheel, just to keep calm. When she'd said that he had hurt her I resisted saying anything, it was I wonder she didn't call off their engagement then. Then she said he said he was sorry and didn't bother her about having sex with him again, though one can guess the reasons why. Apparently when it was close to the day of their nuptials she walked in him having sex with another woman, and that's not the best thing in the world to witness, I should know. I had to chuckle at the fact that Alice was able to embarrassed the jerk, though if I ever came across him I properly wouldn't be able to resist taking a crack at him, witch was strange, finally Bella pulled me out of my thoughts by saying.

"Your turn"

"Okay, well the most serious relationship I had been in, was in my third year pre-med at Dartmouth. She was a strawberry blond named Tanya, I felt there was an attraction but not strong enough, for me to have sex with her, although she wanted it. Like you I'd given up looking, and decided to propose to her a year later, and she said yes, and like your Jacob wanted to celebrate in the same way but I told her my old fashion way of waiting, even though she may have different beliefs she respected me, well I thought she did until I caught her having sex some random guy named James, so I broke it off with her. Funny part of it all was I didn't care she'd slept with someone else, and saved me from making the biggest mistake of my life and marring someone I couldn't trust or even love with all my being where my beliefs didn't exist."

While I was telling Bella about my tragically pitifully similar situation she remained quiet and just took in every detail. Then finally she spoke up though I don't think I expected her to say what she did.

"So where in the same boat so to speak, about sex after marriage I mean, why do you think that is?"

"Umm, I'm not sure of your reasons, but I want to save myself if you believe that for the one person who means the world to me who I could spend the rest of my life with"

"With me I always thought it had to do with Charlie and Rene's marriage failing miserably, because Esme wasn't around to give her a reason to stay, I decided that when it came to stuff like sex and marriage I'd wait for me to know that it was a love from deep in the heart that will last through out time, or for there to be any outside reasons for me to be with a person that close"

Just as Bella finished speaking I pulled up into the parking lot outside of our apartment building, and turned off the engine.

"Suppose we get inside" I said to Bella

"Yeah, looks like there's a storm brewing"

We headed up stairs in silence, until Bella's phone went off

Step one; you say we need to talk

He walks; you say sit down it's just a talk

He Smiles politely back at you; you stare politely right on through

Some sort of window to your right; she goes left and you stay right

Between the lines, of fear and pain; you begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong; I lost a friend?

Somewhere alone in the bitterness

And I could have stayed up with you all night

Had I known how to save a life………

It was strange we had the same ring tone, but she already knew that, that explains why she looked so amused last week when she first heard my phone go off.

B. POV

"Hello" I answered my phone cautiously not expecting a call.

"Bella, just wanted to know where you are" Alice said through the speaker.

"Umm, just out side my apartment with Edward. Why do you want to know where I am Alice?" I through in her name for Edwards benefit.

"Well I mainly call, to tell you me and Jasper won't be home till late so your not waiting around for us"

"Oh, okay see you tomorrow" I said as I hung up the phone.

"What did Alice Want?" Edward asked.

"Nothing really except that they'll be home late and not to wait for them"

"Well, shall we order some pizza, after all I did tell Mike we were going to dinner, though I didn't specify where or what were having"

"Pizza sounds perfect"

Once Edward had ordered our pizza, we went into his apartment, for a change of pace because supposedly I was his date so we couldn't have our dinner at my place, encase Mike became suspicious.

"Edward how can he possibly be suspicious, when he isn't around to witness our so called date"

"You never know, he could be stalking you, witch would explain his disbelief that we were an item"

"But Edward, there's a slight problem with that statement"

"And what would that be?"

"We're not an item, he was right to be disbelieving"

"Yes, but how is he to know what goes on outside of the hospital, unless he was there himself stalking your every movement, for all you know he's watching us right now, seeing that we are telling the truth"

"Don't you mean to make sure you're telling the truth, because if I remember correctly you did all the talking, I didn't say a word?"

"That is correct, however you didn't try to stop me or tell Mike other wise"

As we were speaking we seemed to get closer to each other till we were about an inch apart when there was a knock on the door to announce the arrival of the pizza. Edward seemed reluctant at first to answer the door, but thought better of it, and got up to answer the door.
