DISCLAIMER: I own nothing. But, Rob does own my heart!
It was like kissing my brother. I wanted to be as far away from Mike as possible but, he continued to kiss me. I pushed and grunted, trying to break free but, nothing happened. He only kissed me harder, assuming I was using passion.
The thoughts going through my head at that moment in time were thoughts of hate and rage. Then, I heard the voice that melted my heart every time he spoke.
"What the hell is going on here?" It was Edward.
Within a half a second, I felt the same pair of hands, that I had grown accustomed to, grip my waist and pulled me away. Placing me only a few feet from what was about the happen next.
I stood there, face looking down, afraid to see what was happening. Then I heard Mike yell, "What do you think of that? Huh, Cullen? I got her before you got her." I looked up.
Edward just stood there, waiting. "Edward? What are you doing?" the voice who said that sounded familiar. It was mine.
"Just stand there and watch me beat up your wanna-be boyfriend." Mike said. He moved an inch closer to Edward but, stumbled over himself.
Edward chuckled and Mike looked to me, then back to Edward. "So, Bella Swan. You want her that bad?"
Edward didn't say anything, his face flushed. Then he said, "Like she would want to be some jock." he paused and glanced at me and smiled. "She actually has class, and you haven't known her as long as I have." He took a deep breath. "And, knowing her and her genuine heart, I've grown to love her more than just the friend she used to be."
My mouth dropped to the ground. Did he just tell me, well Mike, that he was in love with me?
Mike drew even closer to Edward and that's when he swung his fist, hitting Edward in the jaw. Edward then threw a punch at Mike, knowing he was drunk, and the hit caused Mike to fly back a few feet into the shrubbery against the fence.
From watching the fight without blinking, I now had unknown tears in my eyes. I was in shock from the fight and from the revelation of what Edward had said.
I ran to Edward's side and instantly put my arms around his waist, giving him all my energy in the embrace. He wrapped his arms around me and nuzzled his face into my hair. We stayed like that for quite some time.
He leaned back an inch and wiped a stray tear that escaped without my knowing.
Mike was out cold and we figured he would come out of it in within a few minutes so, Edward and I made our way back to the house, and out to his parked silver Volvo.
He opened the door and with both arms around me still, placed me in the passenger side seat. While I fumbled with the seatbelt, he ran around the car and was in the drivers side before I had buckled myself in.
He started the car and the radio began playing one of my favorite songs, "Claire de Lune" by Debussy. I glanced to Edward and he put his hand on top of mine. Our hands rested between us in the seat. We pulled away from the infamous party and drove into the night.
I was still in shock. Even though it was short fight, Edward was very calm through it all, causing me to swoon at the sight of him fighting for my honor.
It was a while before either of us spoke, both of us caught up in the recent events and about our hands touching in the process.
Edward was the first to speak. "Bella. Are you okay?" his voice was so serene and I couldn't help but inhale excitedly when he spoke. I also felt sick to my stomach when I thought of the fact of what happened minutes ago.
I nodded. "I'm fine. Just a little shook up and in shock." He began to massage my hand with his thumb at that point. A sign that he wanted to calm down the nerves.
"He had no right to do that. He could have hurt you."
"How did you get there so fast?" I asked. I hadn't seen him move out of the spot we were in before Mike came.
"I got up about 2 seconds after he walked into the dark corner. I knew something bad was going to happen there. I mostly sprinted to get close enough to see but, not ruin anything." he paused. I spoke before he did.
"I cant believe he did that though. He didn't seem like the guy to do that to me. I mean I knew the rumors about him wanting me but, I didn't think he would get so physical so fast. He's a maniac."
"He wont touch you again if I have anything to do about it." Edward said. The grip on my hand tightened. "No one will touch my Bella ever again."
