Thirty - Six.

Edward.

It was a shitty fucking night. I didn't care that I had made a small fortune in tips from all the big breasted bimbos on deck that night. All I wanted was for her to show up. As it got closer to midnight and my shift was beginning to wined down, I knew she wasn't coming. She probably never had any intention to. I didn't understand what happened. We spent a couple of amazing nights together, and then I leave her for a handful of hours and she's completely changed her mind about me?

I knew she may have some concerns or regrets after the fact, due to Jake, but she didn't just have to completely shut me out. I was really starting to think I had a chance with her. I don't know where I went wrong, but I couldn't fucking stand her not talking to me. I hated being on the fence. I hated being the guy in the background. I had never felt about anyone the way I did about her, and I thought she felt the same way about me. I needed to know what was going on. I couldn't wait any longer.

After my shift ended I went straight to her room. It was just before 1:00 a.m. I ignored the privacy please sign hanging on the door. I knew Alice wouldn't be in yet. I knocked lightly at first, and when I didn't hear so much as a peep on the other side, I knocked louder and louder until I heard the lock turning on the other side.

She had obviously been asleep, but she looked so fucking good. She was wearing a tight white tank top and little dark purple boxer shorts. Her perfect breasts were perky and alert. I wish I had never looked at them, they made me do stupid things. Her hair was wild and wavy, her eyes huge.

"What are you doing? You scared me to death. Jesus Christ, Edward!" she screamed at me, but I didn't care. It was so hard not to touch her.

"You said you'd come to the bar. You never came."

She sighed. "I was too tired after I left Alice's show. Do we really have to do this right now? What time is it?"

"Yeah, we do. It's around 1:00 a.m. I need to know what's going on. I can't stand this."

She blew out a deep breath and ran her fingers through her hair. She grabbed her room key from the vanity. "Let's go to your room. Alice will be back soon."

I allowed her to lead the way. I couldn't help but stare at her ass. I should've never fucking slept with her. She was so fucking perfect beneath her clothes that it was all I could think about.

We entered my room and I just left the lights off. She crawled right into my bed. I quietly celebrated as I changed out of my work clothes and into a pair of boxers and a gray t-shirt.

By the time I crawled into bed next to her, I thought she was asleep. Her breathing was even and rhythmic. When I touched her she tensed. My chest felt tight. I saw her eyes squeeze further shut, and a little tear run down the side of her nose.

"Bella? Baby, what is it?"

She rolled over to face me, but didn't say anything.

"Just tell me. Whatever it is, just tell me. We'll figure it out." I prayed she wasn't about to tell me that she wanted us to stop whatever it was were doing. I absolutely could not handle that.

Author's Note:

Sorry I skipped a day. My RL is out of control and I just never made it to the computer.

Of course, I'm posting the next chapter now since I was such a failure yesterday.

Enjoy and thank you for the reviews.

Edward explains his side of the story in the next chapter.
