Chapter 10

EPOV

I peered out the window, looking at the highway. It was night and we were getting close to LA. Bella had fallen asleep on the couch after we watched P.S. I love you. Her gentle figure stirred slightly as the bus moved. I grabbed the blanket off the bed and wrapped around her. I bent down and kissed her forehead softly. I went back and peered out the window, watching the soft light of the street lamps whisk by. There was a small beeping sound coming from my pocket. I took out my phone and read the text message. 'Hey Babe, its Tanya, can't wait until you get to LA, I'll be waiting for you. Maybe we can pick up where we left off last year. From Tans, luv ya xoxoxoxo'

"Oh my god!" I breathed, staring at my phone as if it was crazy.

I had felt lonely last year and I called Tanya to have a chat after a concert I had and we made out. We have never seen each other since, but she randomly sent messages to me every month or so to hook up again. And now she was WAITING for me in LA. Obviously, the word about Bella and me hasn't gotten out yet.

Shit, how was I going to shake off, needy, clingy, repulsive Tanya? How was I going to explain this to Bella? Maybe I should just keep quiet about it; she already has enough on her plate with me and her dad. Oh god, I am a horrible, horrible person. How could someone like Bella, like me?

I was a low life! Is this as bad as having an affair? What would Bella say?

I was freaking out now, hyperventilating almost. I was too worried. I had to send a message back to Tanya, and fast.

'Tanya, its Edward. Sorry, we're over, I have a girlfriend now! I don't want anything to ruin that with her. You and I just had a fling. We're done. Take a hint; I never answered your texts.'

I pressed the send button. Then I waited, painfully long. I felt sick to the pit of my stomach, I could tell Bella

already hated the fans that swooned over me, but Tanya was worse. She would stop at nothing sometimes to

get what she wants. If she really wanted a rock star boyfriend, she would get a rock star boyfriend. Oh god, I

have to tell security about her, before she gets to me. I flipped open my phone and called security. A low gruff voice answered, "Head of security, how may I help you Mr. Cullen? "

"Hello, I have a girl that I...um, I, Well kind of made out with last year and she wants to see me in LA but I think she might jeopardize my relationship with Bella, uh, so, I need her away from us."

"What does she look like sir?"

"Well, I'll send you her picture in a moment and her name is Tanya."

"Last name?"

"Oh shit, I have no idea...uh, I think, no, no....uh, I most definitely sure it's Denali."

(sorry, but I seriously have no idea, what it was so I just used Denali and if it's correct, then hurray for me but if it's wrong, sorry! Just use your imaginations.)

"Alright sir, We'll keep her away from you."

"Thank you." I ended the call and quickly found a picture she had sent to me via multimedia message. I sent it over to security. They would take care of her now. Nothing to worry about. Then why was I still edgy?

There was a beeping sound and I took out my phone. One new message from Tanya.

Oh shit, here goes:

'What! You have a girlfriend? You're laying Edward Cullen; if you had a girlfriend then it would be in the tabloids. I WILL see you in LA and you will make out with me. Listen, I know your still head over heels for me and your trying to save your reputation, but don't worry Babe, we can keep it a secret!'

WHAT? Why that girl made my blood boil. I angrily pressed reply and wrote in:

'Tanya, read the tabloids tomorrow. It will be there, her name is Isabella Swan. Oh, and get over yourself. I'm a famous rock star, you're nothing!'

Wow, I could be harsh!

I went and laid my phone down on the table and picked up the news paper when there was another beeping sound coming from my phone. Shit, she could text fast.

One new message: 'I'm a famous rock star's girlfriend!'

Oh no! This was going to get ugly. Really ugly. I looked over to Bella, who was now beginning to wake. I went over to her and kissed her on her forehead. Should I tell her? No, she doesn't have to know, I won't bother her with this. (Can I just add here that this is where all guys go wrong. They don't tell the girl what's going on. Honesty is the best thing in a relationship)

Her eyes slowly stretched open and she smiled at me, "Hey handsome." She whispered.

"Ssshhh." I said, kissing her lightly on the lips.

Her lips stretched into a wider smile against my skin. I growled playfully and lifted her up bridal style, carrying her over to the bed. There was quick shot of worry in her eyes, which soon disappeared so you could hardly tell it came. I put her onto the bed and then covered her over with a blanket. "That should be better sleeping I think." I said to her. There was a frown on her face and then a deep red blush took over. "What?" I asked, amused by her blush.

"Nothing." She said, hiding her face under the covers. I chuckled and climbed into bed with her. I propped my head up with my arm and looked at her face that was now coming out from under the blankets. "You're so beautiful." I whispered, admiring her gorgeous brown eyes and the way her hair completed her face. Her button nose and full red lips were inviting to. Another deep red blush covered her face now, "Argh, stop doing that." She said, looking away.

"Doing what?" I asked, confused.

"Dazzling me, with those eyes, it's just, you're so...nothing." she let out an exasperated groan and hid her face under the covers again. I pulled down the covers and lifted her face up with my finger. I looked into her eyes and kissed her with more passion than before. This time I could tell it was leading somewhere, we were in a bed and we were kissing with more passion than before. What do you think could happen? Her hands now lay on my chest and I was on top of her, supported by my arms that were on either side of her head, but we never broke the connection between our lips. Her skin was so warm and inviting...that's when my phone rang. Annoyingly so, she pulled back with a questionable look on her face. "I'm so so so sorry Bella, I have to take this."

"Yeah, that's fine." You could tell she was a little bit disappointed.

I got up and went into the TV area of the trailer and answered the call.

"Hello?"

"Hi eddy weddy."

"Tanya?"

"Yes it is. I thought we could catch up since we'll be seeing a lot of each other soon."

"Listen Tanya, back off, okay? We won't be seeing each other anymore, I have alerted security about you and you won't be coming anywhere near me. I will also be changing my number so you can't call me or text me anymore. Quit it, okay?"

"No, it's not okay. Because I have gotten a special VIP back stage pass to your concert tomorrow."

"How did you get that?"

"Ah, well, I can pull some strings."

"You won't get anywhere near me, now that you told me that you have a VIP pass, I'll alert security."

"Ah, but Eddy, this VIP ticket is secure for a twenty minute back stage pass and it also includes meeting the members of the Black Keys. You're dead."

"I hate you."

"Oh, and I did some background checks on a little miss Isabella Swan, I have her father died, she used to like in forks and that she is a stripper trying to get your money."

"That's not true!"

"But it is to the tabloids, I can just wander over there, tell them I was best friends with her, tell bad stuff about her, get a load of cash, break you two up and then I get my man, which is you!"

"You bitch!"

"Sorry eddy, this is my game now."

"Now you just listen here..."

*BEEEEEEEEEP*

She hung up on me! I hung my head, what was I supposed to do? "Is everything alright Edward?" a hand touched my shoulder which made me jump.

Bella was standing behind me with worried eyes. "Yes, it's fine, just go back to bed Bella."

There was a little hurt in her eyes, "You know you can tell me anything."

Tears threatened to overflow from my eyes. How could this soft creature be hurt? I was a monster.

"Oh Bella, sweet, sweet, caring Bella."

"Edward, you're scaring me, what's going on?"

"Nothing, I promise."

"You promised you wouldn't hurt me."

Okay, so now I have to tell her.

Or not.

"Bella, I promise, I won't. This is just something from the band."

I went over to the phone that connected to the other trailers and dialled. Alice's, Rosalie's, Emmet's and Jasper's faces appeared on the screen. "What do you want?" Alice asked grouchily.

"Can we pull over, I have to talk with the guys and Bella can hang out with you girls."

"Then we have a trailer left over." Jasper commented.

"So?" I asked.

"Fine." They said in unison.

The trailers pulled over and I got into Emmett's trailer, as did Jasper while the girls took Bella's trailer.

"Okay, dude, what's up?" Emmett said groggily.

"I have a major, major issue."

I recounted everything from the text I got from Tanya up until now. Their faces got more and more horrified each sentence I spoke.

"OH!" Emmett exclaimed.

"MY" Jasper gasped.

"GOD!" I finished off.

"Yeah, so you see my dilemma."

"What are you going to do?"

"That's the thing I have no clue what to do. I love Bella so much I don't want to hurt her and we've only just started dating but I can 't shake off Tanya and she's going to make her upset and that will ultimately ruin our relationship and then I end up a sorry loser bastard again and everyone hates me!!!!!!!"

"Okay, dude, you need a drink." Jasper got up and got me a beer.

"Do you have anything stronger?" I asked him.

Jasper handed me a glass of scotch. "Thanks."

"So, what if...no that won't work, how about...no that's a dud to. OH geez, there is no way out of this, those VIP cards can't be broken." Emmett complained.

"I know right?"

"Have you tried being honest with her?" Jasper asked me.

"What do you think she'll say Jazz, what if this happened at the start of your relationship with Alice, what do you think she would say? She wouldn't want to be made fun of would she? She would leave, WOULDN'T SHE?"

"Okay, calm down, calm down."

"Isn't this great? I wait all my life for a girlfriend and then I get one and I can't even look after her properly."

"Edward, that's not true." Jasper tried to comfort me.

"Oh it isn't? Jesus Jasper, tomorrow, she will be known as some stripper/whore who is a gold digger and is trying to steal my money, does drugs and is the ugliest woman on the face of the earth. At least that is what Tanya is going to say, and what's worse, people will BELIEVE it. She will be humiliated and she doesn't need this after her father's death."

"Her father died?" Emmet and Jasper asked in unison.

"Oh shit, wasn't supposed to say that."

"Don't worry, we won't tell a soul."

"Yeah, well it doesn't matter now anyway, everyone will know tomorrow."

"Okay, here is what we're going to do Edward, Emmett and I will call the tabloids to see if there's something we can do and we'll also call security to see if there's any way to get past that VIP card, you have to explain all of this to Bella, tell her the truth so at least she can be prepared for it, it's the best thing for her Edward."

"Yeah, okay."

BPOV

"Do you know why Edward wanted to speak to the boys alone Bells?" Rosalie asked me from the couch while I sat in a chair across from her.

"No, we were, uh, doing something and then his phone rang and he answered it, had this whole fight with someone called Tanya and then when he hung up he was extremely distressed. Then he said it was something about the band and he had to talk to the others."

There was a quick nervous glance between Alice and Rosalie that you couldn't miss.

"Wait a minute, I'm in the band, why wasn't I asked to join?"

"Don't ask me Rose."

"Hmmm, what could be so bad he desperately needed to talk to the boys." Alice asked.

"Well, actually, when I fell asleep on the couch, I woke up from this beeping sound, it was obviously a text message and I pretended to sleep and well, that's when it all started. He was like, shit and then he messaged back and then later he called security and wanted a girl called Tanya Denali to not be anywhere near him. It was strange."

There was an even more nervous glance between them now.

"Guys, do you know what's going on?" I asked them suspiciously.

"Well, no, not exactly."

I eyes the nervously. What did they know that I did not? Edward's behaviour was strange.

As was there's. There was something I did not get here.

"Bella, you know that Edward is a really good guy right?"

"Well, yes, of course."

"And you know that he would do anything for you."

"He would?"

"Yes."

"Okay, so what's going on, what's going on with all of these questions."

"And you get he would..."

"She gets it already Alice." Rosalie scolded.

Alice looked at me worriedly, "I just don't want to lose her as a friend, that's all."

DUN DUN DUN!!!! Edwards in a bit of a fix now isn't he? Hopefully everything will work out... What do you think? Will Bella find out about Tanya? Will she leave Edward? Can she handle the stress? We'll just have to wait and see!
