Innocent Heart

Chapter Six: Powerful

Bella Swan

He wanted to play games with me, fine , I was going to fight fire with fire and make it clear that his days of pushing me around where truly over. I gripped the edges of the tub bringing myself up and out in one swift movement, water crashing to the floor below as I grabbed a towel and began drying myself off. Afterwards I made my way to my wardrobe grabbing the first black dress I came across, sliding it on over my body without any underwear on beneath, the satin material of the dress gripping to my curves. I grabbed the tallest and frankly a very daring pair of heels and a leather jacket to pair everything together, returning to the bathroom and collecting my new phone, typing in a text and delivering it to an old phone number of mine, knowing it was back home in my nightstand.

See you soon x

Knowing Edward would see this soon enough I quickly found myself a dark red lipstick from my new make up collection, applying that and only that before heading out my room, passed my now broken door. It didn't take long to convince Esme that allowing me a night out with a car to myself and no escort was a good idea, considering Edward's attitude towards me since my arrival. My tracked phone of course remained at back in my room, another delight sure to nip away at Edward when he found he was unable to track me.

I wasn't a rookie to the security in place, I knew the cars would have their own tracking on them. So after I drove the car into town and parked it smack in the centre, surrounded by movie theatre's, restaurants and hang outs, it would be impossible for them to find out just where I had slipped away to or who I was with. I imagined this would be a harsh awakening for Edward, he'd now get a clear insight into the woman he was marrying.

I doubled back through the town, making my way through alleyways and car parks before I hailed a cab on the other side of town which I took to Charlie's place. Twenty minutes later I was alone in the bath tub, finally enjoying the bubbles and heat with my food order of thai chicken noodles on the way. I was going to stretch out in front of the TV, eat noodles and delight in the joy that would be Edward's misery as he spent the rest of tonight trying to figure out where his little wifey to be was.

Like I said, he had pushed me far enough already, now it was time to push him back and show him I was no gentle swan waiting for his scraps.

Now I was the one doing the pushing.
