LAST TIME...
"You think you're so smart don't you? Well you aren't!" She stated as she waved her finger at me.
"But you see Renee, I am, your husband just yelled at you, due to me. You're right though. I'm not smart" I hung my head and she smiled with a smirk on her face. "I'm intelligent" I smirked back at her before walking outside. I handed my dad the keys and Renee soon came outside too. She sat in the front seat with her arms crossed, with a attitude. Like we gave a fuck. Dad shook his head and stated the car. Now it was time to go have dinner and pretended to be a loving, happy family. YAY! I was using heavy sarcasm if you didn't notice.
We arrived to Tanya and Alistair Denali's house soon. Everyone was already here. We were late, as usual. My father walked around and opened the door for my mother, then myself. We walked to up the walkway, to the door and then rang the doorbell. Their butler, Peter Newton, opened the door.
"Ah Hello Mr. and Mrs. Swan and Miss Swan" " The adults are in the living room Mr. and Mrs. Swan" My parents walked off into the living room. "The teens are downstairs in the family room, Miss Swan" He said as he shut the door.
"Thank You, Mr. Newton" I thanked him because no one else seemed first he seemed shocked, but then he smiled "Your Welcome" he replied as I went down the stairs. I saw Rosalie -who was glaring at that back of Emmett's head- sitting next to Jasper, who sat next to an uncomfortable looking Edward, who sat next to Emmett. Aro was talking to Emmett but looked over and saw me. He smiled his normal, beautiful smile and excused himself from his conversation with Emmett then he got up and walked towards me.
"Bella Babe, You Look Sexy" He pulled me into his arms. I looked to Edward who looked pissed off. He leant in to kiss me and I avoided Aro's kiss.
"What's wrong?" He asked concerned.
"Nothing" I smiled and patted his cheek. I got out of his grip and walked over to Rose, Jasper and Edward.
"Hey guys" and got Heys' back from Jasper and Rose. Edward didn't say anything. I looked down in disappointment.
"Bella, I love that outfit! Is that the one you bought while we were out?" Rose smiled.
"No, I bought when I went to see my grandma in Arizona. Do you really like it?"
"It's a bit on the short side lil' sis. But you and Rose never seem to care about my opinion." Jasper pouted. He really was like the best older brother, that I wish I had. He's even better when he's drunk.
"It isn't short" I looked down. My dressed stopped mid thigh. I wore something much shorter to homecoming.
"Edward isn't her dress too short?" Jasper asked dragging Edward into the conversation. He simply shrugged his shoulders. I hate when he gets like this. He knows I go out with Aro and that we have to keep ou-
"What the hell Edward?"
"See told you" I smiled in triumph. "Besides Rose's dress is the same length and you haven't said anything to her"
"You're such a great friend Bells" Rose stated sarcastically before continuing "He already gave me a stupid ass lecture on my dress, which I think looks great, right Edward?" Rosalie batted her eyelashes at him as she stood showing off a tight, short one shoulder purple dress. If it had been any other girl my blood would have boiled. Is this how he feels when he sees me with Aro? I knew Rose was doing it to get Emmett's attention, which worked because he was watching his brother's reaction. Poor Edward, he didn't even know he was being used. He gulped before answering.
"Yea, it looks great" And I became jealous. He doesn't care about my outfit. Rosalie smiled at him then sat in between him and Jasper. Emmett was pissed. She touched on Edward's arm smiling and he smiled timidly back. Fine if he wanted to be an asshole towards me, I asked Jasper for a smoke and he handed me one telling me to be careful and yada yada yada. I knew Edward hated when I smoked, but I wanted to piss him off. I sat next to Aro who was watching the game by himself seeming as Emmett was "watching" the game and by watching, I mean he was watching Rosalie and Edward. He wrapped his arm around my shoulders and took a puff from my cigerette that I had pressed to his lips. Once it was gone I dubbed it on the ashtray and snuggled into Aro. He kissed the top of my head.
"Excuse Me Rose" Edward said rather harshly, before storming off towards the up stairs. About 5 minutes later I felt my phone vibrate from the hidden pocket in my dress. I was very discreet in checking who the message was from... Edward.
"Who's that?" Aro asked
"Oh my friend, Mary, from Arizona. You know the one I told you about? I told her I'd call her back"
"Oh Yea, tell her I said hi" He smiled at me before turning back to the game.
Guest Bedroom. Third Floor. -E
"Hello" I pretended to talk on the phone, "Hold on Mary, the reception's kind of bad." I walked up the stairs and made it to the guest bedroom. Edward stood with his back to the door. He was looking out of the window. He stood tall, wearing a gray pullover sweater and a pair of black slacks. I could see the muscles in his back and he had his hands in his hair, which meant he was either thinking hard about something or was fustrated. Maybe both. He hadn't heard me enter so I tip toed towards him. I wrapped my arms around him and put my face against his back. He immediately relaxed.
"Sorry, Bella" "I'm Sorry" He and I said at the same time. He turned in my arms so, that we could face each other. He held me close to him. I ignored his erection that was pressed into my stomach.
"What are you sorry for?" He asked a small smile playing on his lips. They didn't reach his eyes, but I ignored that too.
"For being a bitch and smoking, knowing that you hate when I do and for using A-" He kissed me, effectively shutting me up. Edward put his everything into that kiss. I felt his anger, joy, just everything. I eagerly licked his botom lip asking for permission. His tongue reached out and touched mines.
"Bella" He moaned against my lips and I wrapped my legs around his waist pressing myself on his hardness. We both groaned.
"There's no time Bella. And I wanted to talk to you." I dropped my legs from around him and straighted my dress out
"Bella, we can't do this anymore. I can't be the other guy anymore. I hate to make you chose but I w-"
"Then don't make me. I like both of you guys for different reasons, Edward, please do-"
"Looks like you made your choice, sorry Bella." Edward walked off and I just stood there. I felt the large lump that was forming in my throat and the tears builted in my eyes. He couldn't do this to me. He wouldn't. We've been secretly dating since freshman year.
'Correction, sexing not dating' I reminded myself. I still couldn't believe it.
"Bella?" Someone called my name. I wiped my eyes quickly and took a huge gulp so that I could breathe. If it was just sex then why does my heart fell like it just dropped and broke?
"Bella?" They called again. I walked to the door and took another huge breath, then opened it to see Aro peeking into another room. I cleared my throat.
"Hey. They said five minutes until dinner so I wanted to come get you... What's wrong?" He walked over towards me and hugged me while he kissed my forehead. How did I end up with such a great man, yet feel like I have nohing? Why would I do this to him? My little wall I built while I was in the bedroom crumbled and I began to cry into his shoulder. I'm crying in front of him because of another boy. I'm such a bitch.
"Ssh, Bella. What ever it is, it's okay. I love you and that's all that matters" And I began to cy even more. I could my breathing became more and more shallow. Why, why would he ever love someone like me?
"Why wouldn't I love you? You're beautiful, kind, caring and faithful" He wiped my cheeks and kissed my forehand, then my left eyelid and my right eyelid, then my nose and finally, he softly pressed his lips to mine. I was quick to change it with my need. I grabbed his hair, imagining I was weaving my fingers through Edward's. It was hard because Aro's hair was curly but I was able to. I imagined Edward's soft lips to mines not Aro's. But that was quickly fading and I wasn't seeing Edward. I was seeing Aro. So in that moment. I made a promise to myself to not care for Edward anymore and be the girlfriend I should be for Aro.
"-SO Tanya is screaming like crazy, my mother in law is crying, and my father in Law ran off already" Alistair Denali was telling us a story about he and and a camping trip. Laughs were ging around the table. "So I say fuck it, and just shot my gun, and it hit it. When I walk over to the thing it was a damn tree stump" Everyone laughed and I gave chuckled in politeness. I couldn't laugh. Not when I feel like this. I felt sick to my stomach. I felt tears prickle in my eyes. I closed them.
"I know Mrs. Denali's cooking is bad but, Bella, you got to eat something" Aro whispered to me. trying to make me laugh. I ignored his joke.
"What's wrong?" He asked worriedly. I wanted to cry even more. I didn't deserve his kindness. He so fucking sweet and I was just a filthy whore. I didn't deserve his love or Edward's. I open my eyes an a a couple of tears fell in a hot stream down my face. I was quick to wipe them away. I looked up and everyone was staring at me.
"Isabella, dear, What's wrong?" To everyone one else Renee sounded like she cared but I knew that was her way of telling me not to "embarrass her".
"Surely, Tanya's food isn't that bad Bella" Alistair joked.
"Hey!" SHe hit him "Bella, it isn't my food is it?" She asked nervously. I smiled timidily. "No, Mrs. Denali. The food is great, it's just me. Excuse me" I stood up and walked to the bathroom. When I made it there I sat on the floor against the door. I closed my eyes and tried to gather my emotions. Fuck. I deservd to die. What the fuck is wrong with me? I've been cheating on such a great guy. He deserves someone better. I'n a good for nothing whore. OH GOD! I've turned into my mother! And that's what got the tears started. I can't believe it, I was just like that bitch. That got my stomach churning and before I Knew it I was running to the toilet to throw up. Once it was alll out, I wiped my tears and threw water on my face. Once it all dried up I re-applied my make-up and looked in the mirror.
'You are not your mother, Isabella' I said to myself. 'You are better, prettier and you have a warm heart' I was right. I am better then her. I let out a huge breath before opening the door and walking back into the kitchen.
"Are you feeling any better?" Dr. Cullen asked me. Everyone was curious to my answewr
"Yes, I was just a little over heated I guess" Lying to him. Everyone accepted it. ROse looked at me funny, she knew I was lying. ANd a certain someone else was too. Everyone went back to normal conversations.
"Oi! I know you were all wondering why we wanted you here, Alistair and I have something to tell you."
"As you all knew, my brother and sister-in-law passed away in a car accident." Tanya started. We all nodded. It was the saddest I had ever seen Mr. and Mrs. Denali. It was weird seeing them not smiling or laughing.
"Well, we've finally gotten custody of their daughter, my lovely niece Mary Alice. I wanted you all to meet her tonight, especially the young adults" She said looking to us.
"She'll be starting school tommorrow and I" she stopped "no we, would love if you guys could take her under your wing". With that she stood and left the kitchen. She came back with this small petite girl. I looked to everyone's face and saw that Jasper, Emmett, Edward and even Aro jaws dropped.
I knew right then and there...
I hated the bitch named Mary Alice.
Oooo! She hates her. I know 'Where in the hell have you ben AnnRose? How could you leave me like that!' I apologize. To make you feel better, I'll be updating "The Poser" either this week and next week. Till then Love you! and SORRY!
