Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight or its original characters. No copyright infringement is intended with the posting of these outtakes.

A/N: If you read Roadies then you're familiar with how these work. First and foremost, they're not beta'd, so heads up. You'll also want to read each outtake *after* you've read it's corresponding chapter so they'll make sense, as they won't flow from one to the next the same way the main story does.

For this story I'll update with a new outtake every time I update Bored but the outtakes will always be 5 behind on FFn. Of course, you can still get them quicker by leaving me your words in a review which is how I like to say saying thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with me after reading a chapter. :)

Enjoy!

BORED OUTTAKE
Chapter 7

...EDWARD…

Watching Bella stomp across the yard to set fire to her ex's attempt to weasel back into her good graces… Well, it's a major turn on, and I'm currently struggling to accept this.

The tranquil fury on her uncovered face is palpable. It's unlike anything I've ever witnessed before. She's a woman scorned, but I don't believe for a second that it's because she still gives a shit about him.

No.

This is what she needed to do in order to set herself free from his manipulations and I'm not about to judge her for it.

"Jesus," Emmett suddenly grumbles, snapping me from my daze, "I guess the dumb fuck didn't just leave her flowers?"

"Nope. It looked like a note. Definitely paper by the way it's burning." I reply, right as Bella stands back up to start walking in our direction.

"So, do we ask her about it, or leave it alone?"

I have no idea what the right answer is, so I shrug my shoulders in response, but then my curious grin returns when she stops mid stride to take a selfie with her middle finger in front of the fire she's started.

Seeing Bella's satisfied smirk in real time doesn't help my situation.

It only deepens the mental tug of war game she's already got me playing.

Dangerous.

All of this.

One hundred and ten percent of it.

I'm now living for our stolen moments, and even though I know this won't end well... there's something inside of me… it's telling me… she'll absolutely be worth it.

Never in my life have I ever felt this kind of attraction. Never. Not even with Tanya, and I was on the verge of asking her to marry me just before this stupid pandemic took over the world.

Looking back, I don't know what I was thinking, buying that stupid ring. It just seemed like the next logical move once Tanya made it clear she was ready to be that person for me.

'If it's meant to be, it will happen.'

I've heard Emmett say that more than once during our friendship.

Apparently, it's something he heard a lot while growing up in this house with his parents and kid sister.

Tonight, when Bella and I are all alone in her room and the rest of the house is sleeping... without crossing any lines, I've already decided, it's time for me to stop over thinking.
