Today was one of the rare days that Owen and I spent any time together. He called me after class asking me to come over. We were lying together on the couch, while I was trying to figure out a way I was going to tell him that I was going to go over the Cullen's tomorrow. Alice used her ever so famous puppy-dog pout to get me to agree to this, but I had a feeling that Owen wouldn't be to thrilled about it. I told him about my past with the Cullen's and he wasn't to happy about me working with them, but there's nothing he can do about that.
"What time do you have to go to work?" Owen asked.
"Soon." I said.
"Tomorrow I'm going to Port Angeles with some friends, so I won't be here." he said.
"Ok, since you're going to be gone you won't mind if I go to the Cullen's house then." I said.
"I don't want you going over there." he said.
"Why? I want to see Esme and Carlisle." I said.
"Are you sure you're not going to see your little boyfriend?" he sneered at me.
"He's my ex, and were just friends. I'm marrying you, not him." I said.
"I know." he paused, and took a breathe. "I guess I'm just scared of losing you with the wedding so close and all." he said.
"I didn't realize it was so close." I mumbled mostly to myself.
"Tell me about it; in a week you'll be my wife." he said, with a small smile. I loved the moments were Owen was sweet. Of course the didn't last long or come often, but I enjoyed when they did. "Don't go to the Cullen's just yet; let me get used to the idea."
"Alright, we'll wait a little while." I said as I got my stuff together. "Have fun in Port Angeles."
"Oh I will." he said in a way that made me feel uneasy, but I didn't question him on it. On the ride to the diner, I was trying to figure out a way to tell Alice that I couldn't go tomorrow, but then I realized she probably would have already seen my decision.
I walked in the door only to be met with a somber looking Alice.
"Alice it's just a little wait." I said.
"Esme going to be so disappointed that you couldn't come." she said.
"Tell her hat I will come over as soon as I can. Owen just needs some time to get used to this." I said.
"I don't see why it's up to him." she muttered under her breathe, but I heard her clearly.
"Alice in a week Owen is going to be my husband. I want him to feel comfortable when I'm with you guys, and he needs a little time for that." I snapped. "I wouldn't exactly feel comfortable if he was going to an ex's house, so I get where he's coming from."
"Sorry, I just want my best friend back." Alice said.
"You'll get her back, in time." I said, as I walked around her to clock in. I was just about to get working when I tripped on my shoe. I waited for the impact of the floor, but it never came, instead I felt a pair of arms wrap around my waist.
"I see your clumsiness hasn't changed." Edward said with a chuckle.
"Ya, unfortunately that was one of the things that hasn't changed about me." I said as I tried to stand up.
"I heard your not coming over tomorrow." he said.
"Umm… ya Owen isn't ready for me to go over there yet. He doesn't like that were friends." I said.
"I see." he whispered. "Bella can I ask you something?"
"Sure." I said.
"You told Jasper you don't love him, can I ask why your marrying him then?" he asked.
"Ughh, not you too." I said as I made to walk away, but Edwards arm snaked around my waist preventing me from leaving.
"I'm just trying to understand. I don't want you to regret marrying him." he said.
"I'm not going to regret marrying. Now let me go." I demanded.
Edward listened to me and his arm released me, but his voice stopped me from leaving.
"But you will. Maybe not in the beginning, but sooner or later your going to regret marrying him." he said.
"You don't know what you're talking about." I said before I went to cover some of the tables.
I spent most of my sift trying to forget what Alice and Edward said. Their wrong, you are not going to regret it I kept saying that over and over in my head.
"Bella." Rosalie said.
"I swear if hear the words marriage or regret come out of your mouth, I will throw something at you." I threatened.
"Ok… I just came to see if I could talk to you in private. I promise I won't say the words marriage or regret." Rosalie said.
"Sure, let's go out back." I said. "What's up?" I asked when we got to the back alley that I first heard the Cullen's talking in.
"I just wanted to apologize for my behavior back in Forks." she said.
"Don't worry about it Rosalie. You explained everything and I understand." I said.
"I just wanted to let you know that I'm going to try and be friendlier." she said.
"That'd be nice." I said as I got up to go back inside.
"Bella?" Rosalie said.
"Yes?" I asked.
"I'm not saying ha you're going to regret it. I'm just curious, why are you marrying him?" she asked.
"I thought you weren't going to bring it up." I said.
"Technically you made me promise not to say the word marriage, I said the word marry." she said with a smug smile. "I just want to know."
"I'm safe with him." I stated.
"Safe from what?" she asked.
"From getting hurt." I said
"Oh." she said. "Wh…"
"Rosalie, this really isn't something I want to talk about." I said
"Alright, thank you for telling me that much." she said.
"Be careful, you know the minute you walk through that door Edward and Alice are going to attack you for information." I joked.
"There just worried about you. We all are." she said softly.
"You don't have to be. I'm fine, I'm happy." I said. Only part of that was a lie.
"You may be fine, but your not happy." she said. Rosalie walked back inside leaving me outside to ponder her words. You are happy I tried to say that in my mind but it didn't feel right. Ok so maybe I wasn't happy, but at least I'm not in pain.
