Edward Cullen/should never doubt Bella

"Sit down, Edward," she tells me.

The only woman I have ever been afraid of is my mother ... until now.

I slide back into the booth and watch her handle the dumbass with a little more grace than my fist would have.

"Listen here." She looks at his name tag even though she totally knows his name. "Seth, it's pretty obvious that I'm here with my boyfriend. I'm sure with that attitude you've gotten your ass kicked by a few of those in the past. You're lucky I can take care of myself because he"—she points to me—"used to be a quarterback up until two weeks ago. He would have turned you into ground beef, and that's without using his dominant hand."

Seth visibly gulps.

"Now, be a good little boy and go ask another server to trade tables with you, or I want to see your manager."

He doesn't move.

Bella doesn't like that he doesn't move.

"Now!" she snaps.

Seth scuttles off, and I have a raging boner in the middle of a crowded bar.
