Where Are You Now

Chapter 14 – Again?

(BPOV)

I only have a week remaining before my wedding.

This is weird, but it's the first time that I have ever felt unsure of Gabriel. Last night on my way to Seattle, I've been thinking if I really want to marry him.

Nonsense questions have been bothering me.

Will I be happy with him? Of course, he does everything for you.

Will he treat me well? Yes, he's a gentleman, and he protects you.

Will he be faithful? Yes, he has never cheated on you.

He loves you? Yes, he said so.

Is he really the one that I want to spend my whole life with? I…maybe.

Look, I can't even answer if I he is really the one that I want to spend my whole life with. Yes, he is fun, outgoing, understanding, patient, gentleman and he loves me. But when I picture our future together, I can see nothing. All I can see is him working everyday and me staying at home for the whole day. Maybe I need to stop these thoughts. Maybe I'm just being paranoid. There is no way I'm going to back out from my wedding. I should stop worrying about this stupid things.

Last night I left New York because we need to do last minute arrangements with the wedding. Gab wants the wedding to be fully polished when the day comes, so there will be no rush.

It was so hard to leave Emerald, because she keeps on crying. She cannot come with me here, because there will be nobody to babysit her since I will be busy.

I haven't told Gab yet about Emerald and my parents, that I have already found them. So now I'm here in front of his house, to visit him and also tell him about what happened in New York. I've been trying to call him for twenty minutes already, but he is not answering his phone, I've even tried calling the telephone, but still nobody answers. I texted him twenty times already. I'm sure that he is inside, because his car is here. I should have just called him yesterday, and told him that I am coming.

So I waited for ten more minutes. He still didn't come out. What if somebody broke in inside? What if he is dying inside?

So I decided that I'll try to go inside.

I walked towards the door until I realized that it needs his fingerprint. But, I still tried the door knob, and surprisingly, it's open. Oh my gosh, somebody's really inside. I need to find Gab.

As I walk inside, I can see articles of clothing. There's a red polo shirt, a mini skirt, and high heels, which obviously belongs to a girl. But when I was already in front of Gab's room, I saw undergarments on the floor, also his green button up shirt that I saw him wore in work.

So, there's a girl inside his room.

How could he?

How could he do something like this to me?

I tensely and slowly opened the door. I wish it's not like I am thinking. I thought he could never do such thing.

But it really is what I thought.

There is him and a girl on his bed, and they are both bare and naked. Oh, Lauren's the girl, my maid of honor, how nice. And they are barely clad by the blanket.

I should've believed my other friends when they said that Lauren is a slut. I thought she's so nice, but she's just so good at acting being innocent.

I am flaring with anger, and there's no time to cry now.

I cleared my throat loudly.

Gab opened his eyes, and Lauren remained asleep on his chest.

"Hey, Gab," I feigned a happy tone. "It's so nice to see you and Lauren in there. How was it? Was she better than me? Did you enjoy yourself?"

His eyes went wide in shock. I want to pull out his eye and throw it to the window.

"Bells, why didn't you call me? Why didn't you tell me that you are coming?" he asked nervously, as he grabs his pants on the floor.

"If I called you, I won't be able to see this! I won't be able to know that you are cheating on me! I thought that you are not that kind of guy. You don't know how much I've trusted you!" I said before running out.

He followed me as I go out, but I ignored him.

"Bella, let me explain," he pleaded.

"There's nothing to explain. I saw it with my two eyes, don't lie to me anymore," I said angrily.

I called a cab, and waited for it.

"Bella, please, it—"

"Will you please shut up? We are over! The wedding is over! Everything is over! Please don't come near me again, or else I'll call the police," I warned.

I removed my engagement ring from my finger and I threw it to him.

I'm so glad that the cab came after that, I went inside and I asked the driver to leave the place fast. I turned off my phone so he can't call me.

When I am already alone at home, that's where the tears that I've been holding back fell.

I trusted him, loved him, I gave him all of me, and what did he do? He had sex with my maid of honor.

We've been together for a year and a half, and I still can't believe that he would do something like this to me. All those days were such a waste. He's a cheater! What he did hurt me so much, and there is no way I'll be able to forgive him.

I thought my life would be perfect after the wedding, but that was wishful thinking. I was blinded by love to see reality.

I thought he was busy last month with his work, but looks like he was just busy with Lauren. I should've known that the one who answered his phone is Lauren and not his secretary. I'm so crazy to believe that it was his secretary even though I called in an ungodly hour. I should've listened to the people who told me that I couldn't trust Lauren. I'm such an idiot.

I wish Emerald is here, I'm sure that she could somehow make me feel better.

I went to my room and fixed my things. When I'm done, I showered and I changed into something more comfortable.

I didn't eat anything anymore, since I don't have an appetite after what I saw earlier. Even though I tried to forget what I saw, it keeps on replaying and replaying on my mind.

I tried sleeping, but I really can't. Whenever I close my eyes, all I see are the images of Gabriel and Lauren together on that bed.

I decided to call Edward so I could speak to Emerald.

After just two rings, he answered the phone.

"Hello?" he answered.

"Hey, it's Bella." I tried my best to sound normal, but my voice betrayed me.

"Are you crying? Is everything alright?" he asked worriedly.

"Yes, I'm fine, I would just—"

"You're not, you're lying."

"Fine, I'm not. I think I need to get out of here."

"If you don't mind, can you tell me what happened?"

I was hesitant, but I still answered him.

"My fiancé cheated on me with my maid of honor," I confessed.

"That was excruciating. He's such a jerk. What did you do?"

"I told him that we're over, that I don't ever want to see him again." I sobbed through the phone even though it's so embarrassing.

"Bella, I'm so sorry for what happened. I think what you did was right. You can't trust those kinds of people. I believe that you deserve better than him. You're beautiful, smart, and you're very kind. He's such a crazy man to do something like that to someone like you," he said thoughtfully.

Even though he is just on the phone, he made me blush so hard. I never thought that anybody could see me as something like that. But his words made some sort of magic, and I'm feeling a bit better now.

"I'm flying back there; can I go to your house? I just want to be with my baby."

"There'll be no problem with that."

"Thank you so much, bye."

"Bye. Be safe."

"Okay, take care," I said before hanging up the phone.

…

Its late night already when I arrived at Edward's house. I'm sure that Emerald is asleep now.

I haven't even pressed the doorbell button, but Edward opened the door already. Oh, I see, he has been waiting for me.

"Hey," I said shyly.

"Come in," he offered.

He helped me with my suitcase, and brought it to the guest room. He said that Emerald is now asleep because she got tired with shopping with Alice.

"Would you like to rest?" he asked.

"No, I'm not tired."

"Uhm..do you want to watch a movie? You can choose what you want in the living room."

I know he is just doing this just to make me feel better.

"Thank you," I said gratefully.

"For what?" he asked with a crooked smile.

"For everything," I answered.

"I didn't do anything," he said nonchalantly.

"You changed my life," I insisted.

"No, you changed my world," he said, but after that he has a regretful look on his face.

"I change you're world?"

"It's nothing. I'll just grab some snacks; you can go to the living room and chose."

"Fine."

After a few minutes, I have chosen Romeo and Juliet, and he came back with french fries, chips and cans of beers. He also has blankets for us.

He gave me a blanket, and he sat beside me. I wrapped the blanket tightly around me even if it's not really cold.

The movie played. He opened a can for me and gave it to me.

I took it from him, and I gulped the bitter liquid. In a matter of minutes, it's down.

"Are you alright?" Edward asked steadily.

"No, why would I be? My fiancé just cheated on me!" I said impatiently.

"Cool down, okay. You might wake up Emerald," he said carefully.

We continued watching the movie, and I am so embarrassed with what I did. I barely knew this person and I did that to him.

By the end of the movie, which I really didn't watch, I have downed six cans already. This isn't good. My mind is fuzzy and it's like I can't focus on anything, but I think I'm fine.

I moved closer to Edward, and I laid my head on his chest.

He stiffened, but after a few moments I felt his arms wrapped around me.

It's comfortable and warm in here, and it almost feels like home. His hand brushing up and down on my back feels so soothing.

I looked up at him, and he also looked at me. I should've blushed now, but I didn't feel my face heated.

His eyes are so beautiful, and I can spend a day just looking at them. It's like you are in a forest and everything is so refreshing and warm.

I can feel him closing the distance between us. My heart is pounding so fast and butterflies were flying wildly inside my stomach.

Our noses touched, and I closed my eyes. I can feel his warm breath on my face. It smells like mint with the hint of beer.

Our lips touched. It's not the first time that we kissed, but still this time is different. There is something else in it, something that makes you want more. It's somehow addictive.

We pulled away when oxygen is essential already, but when I can breathe properly again, I attacked him.

Our lips molded perfectly, and we're both moving effortlessly. It's like we're used to doing this.

I can feel his hands all over me, touching places that shouldn't be touched by just a friend.

I know I am not that drunk, I can push him away if I want, but I didn't. I am powerless under his hands, and I don't know why.

He carried me to his room, and it happened.

Okay, so there's an E/B moment, but what do you think Bella means by it happened? OMG did they do the deed again? LOL, just stick with me if you wanna find out ;)

And I got rid of Gabriel (that's enough reason for you to review :) )
