Chapter 21

Bella's pov

I sit on one of the many park benches for what felt like only a few minutes and I suddenly hear my name being yelled. I easily recognize the voice by now. I turn my head and see Addison running towards me smiling brightly.

"Hey, sunshine." I say hugging her once she reaches me.

"I missed you, Bella!" She exclaims holding on tightly to my neck.

My smile widens if possible, "I missed you too!"

She giggles then turns to Edward who I notice is just staring at me with a smile. He comes closer to me with Josh in his arms and gives me a loving kiss on the lips earning another giggle from Addison.

"Daddy can I go play?" She ask already walking towards the playground.

"Yes, but stay where I can see you." He answers soft, but sternly.

She runs off and Edward pulls me into a hug, "I missed you too, beautiful."

"I missed you too." I reply reaching for Josh whose chubby arms are waving towards me.

"Is he getting bigger?" I ask, noticing how heavier Josh is.

Edward chuckles, "Their both growing up so fast. What did you need to talk to me about, love?"

As we take a seat on the bench I put a game on my phone for Josh to play.

"I talked to Tanya today." I say.

Edward looks at me alarmed, "Where did you see her at?"

"She came up behind me in the grocery store parking lot and she apologized for showing up uninvited, and for giving me a dirty look the other day at Addison's birthday party." I explain.

"She gave you a dirty look?" Edward ask alarmed again, but also mad.

"Yeah, but it's no big deal."

"It is a big deal, love. I'm sorry I didn't notice, I was too busy still trying to process the fact that she showed up to my door." Edward explains, blaming himself.

I grab his hand in mine, "Edward don't blame yourself I'm over it, honestly."

"I love you." He replies leaning in for an urgent kiss on my lips.

I deepen the kiss and he pulls me closer to him, luckily Josh is too distracted by the game on my phone. But this time we don't pull away until air is needed. Edward leans his forehead against mine and smiles dazzlingly at me.

"I love you too." I reply, still trying to get my breathing at a steady pace.

"Wait I'm not finished with the story about Tanya." I say realizing I got dazzled by Edward.

"You're right, sorry for distracting you. You're very kissable." Edward replies smiling crookedly at me.

I blush then continue on about my encounter with Tanya, "Anyway, she came up to me in the grocery store parking lot and after she apologized she wanted a way to get in touch with you, but I told her I should talk to you first before giving away any of your personal information."

"What could she want to talk to me about?" Edward ask agitatedly, while running his fingers through his hair.

"She told me she wanted to apologize for the way she showed up uninvited and explain herself for her behavior in the past." I answer.

"Yeah well I've heard way too many of her apologies."

"Wouldn't it give you some type closure if you talked to her?" I suggest hesitantly.

Edward turns to look at me shocked, "Wait you think it's a good idea for me to talk to her?"

"Well see it a different way. Maybe there's a reason behind the way she's acted in the past. It would stop all the endless questions in your head to why she was the way she was. I know you said she was doing drugs and was barely home, but by talking to her you could say all you need to and explain to her how she needs to stay away from Addison and Josh. But at the same time it's your decision." I explain.

I've never been really well with advice.

Edward stares off for a bit, looking deep in thought. He suddenly turns back to me asking a question I wasn't expecting,

"Will you come with me?"

"Are you sure? This is something important and private. I mea-" Edward cuts my sentence off.

"Bella, of course I'm sure. You mean the world to me. When I'm with you I honestly feel safe and having the woman who owns my heart there to talk to Tanya with me would be a huge help."

Tears rim my eyes at his confession, "I own your heart?"

"Only you, my Bella."
