Chapter 25
"Do you come here often?" I asked as I made my way over to the bench.
"You always had the lamest pick up lines," he said with his brow raised high. I let out a low giggle at that.
"Edward," I began to say but paused for a moment. What I was about to say to him was heavy. "I owe you a huge apology. I'm sorry for just leaving without talking to you. In fact, I'm sorry for leaving period."
"Wow, that was huge of you. I accept your apology and truth be told, I was never angry at you for leaving. I understood. You were broken, I just wished I could fix you."
"Nothing can fix me," I said as I hugged my arms around myself.
"Everything can be fixed. Remember, I am the best mechanic after all," he said which caused me to giggle again as he nudged my shoulder with his own. He reached his hand over and pulled my face to his. His kiss started out slow but went frantic fast. I don't even know why I opened to him when he licked my lip. It had been forever since I have been that turned on. I straddled his lap and really was kissing him back. I may have even grind down a little bit, too. I started to compare him to James and in that moment I knew I was in the wrong. I jumped off of him and flew to the opening of the meadow.
"I'm sorry," I said with my hand over my forehead wiping the sweat away. "I'm not," was his simple reply.
"I can't be here, I gotta go," I said as I started to walk away. Irritatingly so, he followed me out like a stalker. "You can stay, I really need to be alone."
"You know I would never let you walk through the forest alone," he said. "Whatever," was my eloquent reply.
We walked around the front of the house and he stopped me while I had my hand on the front door. "Bella, do you love him?"
"No," I said as I shut the door between us.
