Chapter 10.

Isabella Swan

"What are you doing in here?" I screamed trying to find a towel near by to cover me under the water but it was useless, I just pushed as many bubbles over my body as possible and watched Edward's every move.

"Oh you can cut the act Bella, I've seen everything there is to see and you know that." Edward said slipping out of his tuxedo jacket and rolling up the sleeves of his crisp whit button up before walking over to the foot of the tub.

I scowled at the thought of mine and Edward's first time together physically and curled up into a ball as he decided to sit on the stool beside me.

"You have to listen to me Bella." Edward said staring at me as I faced the large rows of open French doors with crimson see through curtains that blew in the wind. I looked onto the terrace that the French doors opened onto and saw the beautiful beam of white light the full moon and stars above on the concrete of the floor in the bathroom and terrace.

"I don't have to do anything." I said as I felt the tension in the room becoming thicker and thicker.

"Please Bella," I heard Edward whisper in my ear as his smooth hands ran through my still dripping wet hair. I thought of a memory of him doing exactly what he was doing now and I couldn't help but let my eyes flutter closed and let out a satisfied sigh. "Just listen to what I have to say…" he said gently as I allowed myself to sink further into the warm water and his gentle hands run through my hair as much as he wanted.

He was intoxicating…he made me drunk by doing the littlest things and honestly, I didn't know if that was such a bad thing. I finally gave in, not knowing that I did…kind of.

I decided just to sit there with my eyes closed and listen to whatever he had to say and if I didn't like it I would simply leave. I didn't know if it would be possible but I think I knew a way how.

"Now that I have your attention," Edward whispered grabbing some shampoo and starting to rub it through my hair and scalp but continued as I loved the feeling of his fingers in my hair. "Bella, Victoria is nothing to me. That day when she first came up to me and kissed me-" Edward started but my eyes snapped open and I twisted my neck so my hair was out from his fingers and I sunk under the water so my hair could rinse.

The issue of Victoria was a sensitive subject with me and I didn't want to talk about him or hear about his "explanations". I made sure the soap was out of my hair and I simply lifted my self up out of the tub. He himself had said he had seen my body for what it was already so what did he care if I walked out of the tub dripping wet and naked. He didn't move and I could practically hear his jaw hitting the floor as his muscles stiffened.

"Edward, I honestly don't care what you do with that whore. Do whatever you want with her but I'm not going to listen to your explanations." I said walking on the shiny concrete floor to grab a fluffy gold towel and wrapped it around my body before ringing out my hair and looking back at Edward. Edward was looking down at the now empty tub only filled with a light foam of bubbles and probably a gallon of luke-warm water.

I walked over to him quietly before glaring down at him. He flinched gently, probably feeling my intense glare towards him. "Edward," I said his name bitterly but my tone was flat. "Don't try and convince me that you love me when I know you don't. You never did…I'm going home in a few days and I don't want you to interfere with my time with my family alright." I said turning around on my heels towards the steel door to walk out into my room that I shared with my family.

That's when I felt it. Even though I was a vampire and I was trained in battle, speed and agility by the best that Aro ever had to offer me when I first started to live with him, I knew I could never touch Edward Cullen.

Edward's hand wrapped around my shoulder firmly but I could feel the gentle loving that came along with the electric spark that flowed between us. I was pressed up against the furthest wall from the door soon and Edward was looking down at me with such sadness in his eyes I almost felt sympathy for him.

"I love you. I always have and I always will Bella and the reason I left you that night was because-" BANG! BANG! BANG!

The ear splitting clang of the fists against the steel door rang through the large bathroom and Edward's voice was droned out. I knew his reasons so why hear them again.

"BELLA!" I heard Emmet's strong voice call. Edward looked at me longingly for a moment and then he was gone, in a flash he was gone. Leaving me there to sit and wallow in my own disbelief and rage.

Disbelief, Rage and….love.
