Chapter Ten

The Regrets and the Anger

I whimpered as my temples pounded, squeezing my eyes shut at the light that flirted through the blinds. Alice must have left the blinds open last night. I stretched and rolled over onto my side, cuddling deep into the sheets. I thought I felt someone beside me, thought I felt something warm snake around my waist and pull me into something just as equally warm. But I knew there was no one…there…

I slowly opened my eyes, expecting to see the white digital alarm clock but instead there was an antique brass table lamp atop a stained nightstand. Where…where am I? I turned my head to look at the ceiling to spot a ceiling fan running, the lights made of frosted glass blown into the shape of flowers. The walls were painted a pale cream.

I heard a male moan beside me and strained to remember what happened.

I remembered Ana walking away, her words running through my head over and over again. "Yeah, Edward told me about the stupid bargain. But apparently he didn't care because he…well you know…slept with me last night."

I walked the entire length of the campus, even in the down pour. I stopped three times at one of the food stores on the campus. Once to eat something for breakfast, three protein bars I slowly recalled. Then a few hours later for lunch, three-forty-seven it said on the receipt. Then once as the sun was setting.

During the times I just was walking, my mind wandered, Ana's stupid words replaying again and again like it had all day. And finally, I got upset. I wanted to go find Edward confront him about sleeping with Ana but I knew that he would just say that it was a lie. So I bought the vodka, grabbing just a random bottle knowing that I wouldn't have finished it, and a box of extra large condoms.

The clerk from my other two times I bought stuff was there still when I bought the vodka and condoms. He chuckled and said me what I needed the stuff for.

I glared up at him and said, "Just being another one of those girls who get screwed by Edward." And in more than one way, I wanted to add but didn't.

I headed west, towards Edward's apartment. I knew about the key above the door after I watched Edward use it twice when he left his keys inside. I used it, then placed it back above the door. I didn't bother locking it.

And I got drunk. I didn't really recall much after that. I didn't recall how I ended up in a bed that I knew that belonged to Edward Cullen because I had seen his bedroom before, seen the antique lamp set atop of twin stained nightstands, seen the digital alarm and the phone on the nightstand nearest to the bathroom. I knew I was in Edward Cullen's bedroom but I didn't know how.

I felt someone sigh beside me and cuddled closer towards me, pulling my back into their front. My temples pounded along side my heart as I rolled slowing back onto my back, the arm still around my waist. There, his auburn hair ruffled from sleep, a pillow crease in his cheek, his mouth slightly open, was Edward. A naked Edward for the sheets covered his legs and ass but not his torso. I looked down and felt my heart freeze. I was naked too.

I panicked, pulling the sheet up as I slowly sat up, moving the arm from around my waist. Edward moaned and rolled over onto his back. I would have probably swooned any other time to see Edward's chest but not when I was naked with him. Edward's eyes slowly opened and turned his head slowly towards me.

"Morning," he muttered huskily.

I looked around the room and noted the clothes thrown askew on the floor. Edward's shirt was hanging from his laptop on the desk lining the wall with the door to the bedroom.

My anger bubbled within me.

"Tell me where you were the night before last." I demanded, slowly, looking away from him so that he didn't see my anger.

"At Emmett's place," Edward said, sitting up slightly.

"Don't," I said, pointing one finger at him. "Don't touch me, you bastard."

"Wh-what?" Edward said.

"I know for a fact," I said, gathering the sheets around me, pulling them from the bed, "that you weren't at Emmett's."

"That's stupid," Edward said, sitting up, naked as they day he was born that I had to turn my face away not to blush at the sight of him. "You can ask Emmett."

"Put on some pants," I snapped at him, turning my back on him.

The bed springs moaning as Edward got up.

"Ana from biology told me yesterday morning that you screwed her last night," I said, bending over to pick up my sweats and panties. "How you didn't give a damn about our bargain and clearly not about me."

"This is bullshit," Edward said, "and you can turn around now."

I turned my head over my shoulder to see Edward was dressed in jeans, zipping them up.

"Damn it Bella, I kept my promise," Edward said, coming to stand in front of me. I clutched the sheet tighter to me. "I haven't slept with anyone since I first meet you."

"I didn't want to sleep with you," I said, snapping at him, wanting a reason—any reason—for me to be angry, to let me vent my anger towards Edward.

"If I recall correctly," Edward said, his eyes a bright green in the morning light, "you said that you wanted me last night. That I said you would regret it last night."

"You knew I was drunk," I said, pushing my hand against his chest. "You knew that I was easy."

"If you want to be mad at me, Bella, because yes I did sleep with you when you were drunk, then be mad," Edward said, his words had bite with them. "But I did say you would regret it."

He turned away.

"At least we used protection, right?" I snapped at him.

He turned back towards me.

"Yeah," he snapped back at me. "You said—"

"Good then," I said, cutting him off and picked up my bra from the floor.

Edward closed his eyes and inhaled deeply as if he was fighting within himself. Then he turned back and headed towards the bathroom.

"Damn it, Edward you TOOK my virginity," I said, finally realizing what happened last night. Not details but the major key point.

Edward froze in his walk to the bathroom.

"I'm sorry Bella," he said, turning slightly towards me.

"Keep it," I said, tearing gathering in my eyes. "I guess in the end…I was just another one of those girls, huh?"

His face went slack and his mouth opened to say something but I just smiled slightly.

"I better go see Alice," I said, picking up slowly the hoodie from the floor. "I'll, um, get this back to you once I change."

Edward nodded his head and I walked out of the bathroom and into the living room, closed the door behind me. I leaning against the closed door and let my tears silently fall.

Okay, here is the time to review.

Huggles,
