Argumental.

EPOV.

Wat the hell?

I had just had the best sex, possibly ever and now the woman lays here crying!

I'm not that bad am I?

"No. You were brilliant."

I frowned and raised my head to look into Bellas eyes. "Did I say that out loud?"

"Yes." She sniffed as more tears leaked from her eyes.

"Sorry. My brain filter must not be working."

"'s okay." She mumbled

"Can I ask why you're crying then?"

"I'm sorry. I just... I can't explain it."

"Let's clean up and we can talk." I slowly pulled out of her and she winced slightly. "Did I hurt you?"

"No, not at all. It's just been a while."

I wandered off to the adjoining bathroom and wet a wash cloth. Bella was curled up on her side facing the wall when I went back in. "Bella?" I whispered, in case she was asleep. I got no reply and when I approached the bed she had her eyes closed.

Not sure if she was faking being asleep, I whispered that I was going to clean her up before kissing the shell of her ear. I freshened her up the best I could and tossed the washcloth in the laundry hamper, before sliding into the bed behind Bella.

I covered her in the duvet and settled down on my back. I placed my hand on her hip, not in a sexual or possessive way, just in a way to let her know I was here if she needed me.

The last thing I heard before I succumbed to slumber was a small "Thank you."

BPOV.

Edward was just so sweet after our rampant sex session, but I feigned being asleep just so I could avoid the conversation I knew we needed to have. The poor bloke was probably confused, heck I knew I was.

With the sun shining brightly through the window and me being unable to sleep anymore, I carefully slipped out of bed. Pulling on my silk robe I crept out of my bedroom.

What I wasn't prepared for was Alice.

She had dragged a chair from the kitchen and set it up against the wall opposite my door. She was perched upon it like a small tropical bird in her multicoloured maxi dress, sipping from a cup of coffee.

I stopped short at the sight of her. "Morning Alice." I tried the cheerful approach.

"Don't you morning me missy! I've been up half the night. Right now it's afternoon for me!" For some reason Alice looked livid.

"Why are you so mad? What did I do?" I pushed past her and entered the kitchen, pouring myself some juice from the fridge.

"Bella, I'm not mad at you. I'm worried for you. Don't think Jasper and I didn't hear you two last night. Just three months ago you were still grieving over Jake."

I could feel my face growing hot. Alice was right but I wasn't going to let her know it. Who was she to tell me how to run my life?

"You know what Alice, it's none of your buisness. So what if I wanted a bit of male company last night. Hell I have to listen to you and Jasper go at it like rabbits! You can't tell me how to rum my life. I am an adult and you are not my mother. Yes, I was still mourning Jake, but there is such a thing as moving on. It has been five years after all, just like everyone's been telling me all this time." There was a soft pop and my feet were suddenly wet. The juice carton I had been holding, or rather squeezing, had given way under the force of my grip.

"Fine Bella. Do what you want, but don't expect me to pick up the shattered pieces of your heart when it all comes crashing down around you. I bet you still aren't planning to tell Edward about Jake, are you?" She glared at me and tapped her foot impatiently. "I didn't think so." She snapped when I didn't reply.

"You know what, Alice? I don't have to put up with this. Find yourself a new room mate. I'm leaving!"


Will Bella stick to her word?

Now I'm not a review whore or anything, but I was really disappointed at the measly amount I received for the last two chapters. A big thank you to the few that did review. I really appreciate the time you took to let me know what you thought. Big hugs to you all :)

The next chapter will be up soon.

Much love x
