(Hi! Uhh, yeah, I'm finishing off this story for now and will be writing a sequel at some point in the future. I just don't have any time to write now, so I'll be starting the next one after all this craziness is done. Enjoy!)
"Well, I'm not going to get off the computer without saving! Do you know how long I spent on this?" I was slightly annoyed. Edward was kinda being a bitch today.
"I understand that. But I've been wanting to get on all evening to check something, VERY QUICKLY, and you've been saying '15 more minutes' for the past three hours. So will you please shut down?" Edward asked.
"I'm trying, but you can see how it can be difficult to do so when you have somebody talking to you."
"No one says you can't push a button while speaking to someone."
"Sorry I'm trying to put a resume together so I can get a JOB."
"I've told you countless times you don't need one, we have quite enough to spare."
"I don't WANT to be some spoiled little brat! I don't think money should be handed to me on a silver platter. I want to earn a living, like regular people."
"You were the one who decided NOT to be a regular person anymore," Edward retorted.
Um, excuse me? That was definetely un-Edward.
"Sorry I exchanged my LIFE for you, buddy!" I said angrily. Edward must have been PMSing for something. It's been like this since TWO THIS MORNING.
Now, normally I would expect Edward to be all, 'Oh, I take the blame, you're right, I'm sorry, ya dee da.' Not today. He went to talk with Emmett and Jasper and he came out a changed man.
"I told you I didn't want you to!" he said.
"So you don't want me anymore?" I dared.
"No, I wanted you to be human!"
"So I could be an 80 year old woman, going out with a hot 17 year old? Would that make you happy? Because if you stood next to a wrinkled old hag it would make you look even better?"
"That's not it! I just want you to get off the damn computer!" he said, frustrated.
"Sorry, your highness. I apologize for wanting to make myself a life. Enjoy your computer. I hope your not looking up porn pictures of hot grannies!" I sneered.
"Nice one, Bella. It's great how highly you think of your husband." And with that, he reached for the laptop. I snatched it up before he could lay a finger on it.
"Oh, yeah. I thought so little of you that I killed myself and married you, giving up everything I believed in. Ugh, imagine what I would do if I actually liked you!"
"You know, I hope you realize that your jokes aren't funny. I never kid about feeling anything less than love for you." He reached for the laptop again, and I lifted it higher.
"Ok, fine! I love you Edward. Now, enjoy your god damn computer that's so much more important than anything else!" I threw the laptop at his face, and because of my vamp strength (nope, still not feeling it,) there was enough force behind it so it hurt him. Of course it shattered and feel into a million pieces on the couch.
"Smooth..." he said, and I thought of Emmett all of a sudden, He'd been saying that a lot lately. Wait.. Emmett...
"Edward, what the hell did Jasper and Emmett say to you?!" I screeched.
"Nothing that I wasn't going to do anyway!" he said, still angered by our conversation.
"What were their exact words?" I seethed.
"Don't be such a pussy, grow some balls, and stop acting so whipped."
I gaped at him for a moment before running upstairs and throwing the video game room's door open. Someone was about to get it.
Emmett and Jasper looked frightened, and I knew my face must not have been one of an angel's at the moment.
"WHO DO YOU THINK YOU GUYS ARE?! EDWARD IS NOT WHIPPED. JASPER, YOU'RE THE ONE WHO CARRIES ALICE'S SHOPPING BAGS AROUND, AND EMMETT, YOU LET ROSALIE DRESS YOU UP LIKE A FREAKING SLUTTY NURSE. NOW IF YOU EVER DO ANYTHING LIKE THAT AGAIN, YOU WILL BE WALKING WITH ONE LEG EACH. UNDERSTAND??"
They both nodded and I bet they were glad they couldn't pee their pants.
I turned around to see Edward standing there, open mouthed. I smiled and flicked his head on the way out.
"Bella.. Bella, come back. Let me talk to you." Edward pleaded.
"You know, if you thought I was so selfish you could have told me. But to find out the reason behind it was that our brothers were making fun of you? Ridiculous. I can't believe you'd rather be an asshole to me all day and be accepted by our brothers than talk to me about your problems in an adult fashion. Too late, I guess. Well, have fun with your boyfriends. I realize how important their opinion is to you."
"Bella, you are the most important thing to me. What I was saying before... I didn't mean it. I don't mind if you want to get a job. I'll even help you. It's just... when you have two guys constantly ridiculing you..." he shook his head. "Listen, today I just lost my head. I was so tired of being mocked for being a tool that I completely forgot about everything else. If you are mad at me, I am completely fine with it. Hell, I deserve it. But you don't. I don't deserve you. I'm looking back on my behavior... I don't know what got into me."
I smiled, a little. So he was sorry. But that didn't change the fact that he listened to Emmett and Jasper. It was so... un-Edward!
"Bella, I love you more than anything on the entire planet. I am willing to do anything for you. And so I am going to do whatever it takes for you to forgive me for my inexcusable behavior."
Aww. So sweet. I suppose I wasn't used to him being anything but perfect. So when he made one mistake, I flipped out. I guess I was the one at fault. He never critisized me for my errors. What was wrong with me? I expect so much from him. I couldn't believe what I'd done.
"There is... one thing." I mumbled.
"Anything," he promised.
"Let me apologize. I don't expect anything less than perfection from you, so as soon as you do anything wrong, I go ape shit. I can't believe my standards. One mistake and I turn it into WW III. You shouldn't have such a bothersome wife," I held my head low.
"You, apologize?! Bella, I acted like an idiot today. I seem to be making lots of mistakes lately. And I don't care if your standards are too high, thinking I should be perfect. If you are anything less than happy, it is my fault. You are mine, and I will do anything and everything to keep you content, no matter what it is. Even if it is me being perfect. I don't care. I just want you to love me."
I was awestruck. Where did Edward get these speeches? Did he write a bunch beforehand, then recite them when the time was right? I couldn't think of anything that could measure up to that.
"Edward, I-" my voice was shaking. "I do love you. More than you'll ever know. And no matter what, it will stay that way for eternity."
He pulled me in for a kiss, and I felt like I was about to burst with joy, happiness, and peace. Edward was my everything, and I knew that no matter what, he always would be.
