Ch. 14 - I Need To Talk To Him

Bella POV

"It's beautiful, Alec. I can't believe you even got reservations at place like this," I told him as I looked Italianos over. There were white lights all over the building for the opening and it made the place absolutely sparkle.

"I have to admit, I had to fight for our table...but it was good cause' I won," Alec replied with a smirk as we crossed the street and went inside.

It was even more beautiful inside.

Italianos was well lit, and it was a proper place, but had a laid back feeling to it as well. I loved it.

"Come on, Bella," Alec urged me gently as he steered me over to the host station. I smiled at him, but it didn't feel right.

"I have a reservation for two," a voice announced. But it wasn't Alec's.

It was Edward's.

He was already getting seated and he was with Rosalie.

Rosalie.

Not me.

I wanted so badly to hit something. But why? Edward was a jerk, and Rosalie was perfect for him because she was the same way. But why on earth did I want him to be here with me instead?

Oh right. I was in love with him.

"Bella? Are you okay?"

I turned back to Alec to see him looking at me curiously. "Sure. I'm fine. Just...uh...admiring the place," I told him as convincingly as I could.

"Perfect, isn't it?"

''It really is," I told him as the hostess sat us down, and once she'd gotten our drink and food orders, left us alone. But I couldn't escape this already hellish night.

Because where she sat us...I had the perfect view of Edward's face and Rosalie's back.

This was not good.

This really wasn't good, not at all.

Edward POV

I couldn't believe the sight of the place. Italianos was perfect. The lighting was great, and although it was a formal place, it still had the laid back feel to it.

"This place is beautiful, Edward. How did you even get reservations," asked Rosalie as we were seated and the hostess went off to get our drinks.

I smiled. "I have a few secrets," I told her slyly.

She eyed me suspiciously, then laughed.

I let out a small one of my own, but I didn't mean it.

Not by a long shot.

I looked down and when I happened to look back up, guess who I saw?

Bella.

And she was here with Alec.

But she wasn't looking at him.

She was looking at me.

And it looked like the word 'murder' was going through her head.

Dang, but she was so beautiful. Even more beautiful than Italianos was tonight.

I couldn't look away from her, but somehow managed when our food arrived.

Our being Rosalie and me of course. Not Bella and I.

Unfortunately.

Bella POV

I couldn't believe that he had the nerve to look me in the eyes. This was supposed to be my night. And here he was ruining it.

But I couldn't help noticing how handsome he looked in his dressy shirt.

''But as I was saying, the movie is supposed to be really good. Better than the first," Alec announced breaking through my thoughts.

I turned to him and quickly covered up the fact that I hadn't been listening to a word he was saying. Poor guy. "Sure. Better than the first," I agreed as the food arrived.

We talked for what seemed forever about nothing in particular.

But I couldn't help but look over at Edward. And every time I did he was looking back at me with a look of frustration on his face. Why was he frustrated with me? I didn't do anything to him. All I did was try to find someone. Even if that person was only just to distract myself from him himself.

Jerk.

Then, he got up from the table and walked swiftly away, but Rosalie wasn't fazed.

So I knew that he wasn't ditching her. But I still hoped that he was.

But he was probably just going to the bathroom.

And I needed to talk to Edward. This whole thing going on between us was making me crazy and angry at the same time. I had to fix it so that I could move on from him. This would be the perfect time to tell him how I felt about him and what he did to me in the closet.

The perfect time for me to let him have it.

And I didn't care what he had to say to me after I told him how I felt.

All I knew was that I had to tell him. I had to. ''Alec? Could you excuse me for a moment? I have to go to the bathroom," I told him as I stood.

He gave me a warm smile. "Sure. Take your time. I'll wait."

"Okay. I'll be back," I replied as I got up. Once I was out of view of him I spotted Edward going into the men's bathroom.

But this wasn't like school. I couldn't just waltz in there and risk getting Alec and I thrown out of the restaurant. But I had to tell Edward.

I sat outside the door for several seconds, brooding, before deciding that it was now or never.

I chose now, and looking around to make sure no one was watching, slipped inside the bathroom and closed the door gently behind me.

Edward wasn't getting away from me this time.

Not by a long shot.

I don't really like how I ended this little cliffhanger...but it's better than nothing, right?And I don't really like this chapter too much, but I put it up anyways cause I knew that I probably wouldn't rewrite this any time soon. Sorry for that. REviews are LOve!!
