chapter 10
Tomorrow is December 24th and I still don't have a tree, so I need to do it now. Bella and the kids are sound asleep. I go to the backroom where the water tank is and after an hour of shoveling snow I am standing outside. it is dark as hell. My flashlight is not much but it will have to do. Another hour later I find a perfect tree. With my little ax it takes me some work but I am back at the cabin within two hours. It started snowing again so I know that I am back just in time because when it snows here, it SNOWS here.
Once inside I shake the snow from the tree and find a bucket to place the tree in it. I decorate the tree with some handmade ornaments (well I did my best, with only some paper in different colors and little time left) and go to bed, hoping to sleep a bit knowing the kids will be awake in three hours. "What is that sound? Why do you scream? Let me sleep some more… please." I know I need to wake up, but damn my eyes won't open. Need more sleep. "Ough," a knee hits me in the stomach and then more giggles and screaming. "We have a tree!" Two little voices scream at me. I smile. That is why I did it, to see and hear these voices and faces happy. "Come kids let Edward wake up and get on some clothes." Bella sounds not so happy. When the kids are out of the room I want to sit up to dress when I hear Bella speak to me. "How did you got out of the cabin? You told us it was impossible! What more did you lie about? Just when I thought I could maybe trust you…" "Shit Bella, I did it last night. I wanted to surprise you all. I worked an hour before I could stand outside… AN HOUR! Just to make you happy and to see how bad it is out there. And what do I get? More angry Bella… well I have had it with you! I saved your goddamn life and what do I get not even a THANK YOU!" I know I'm acting like a lunatic but I have had enough, "You want to go outside, go but don't expect me to safe you again…" I turn around get my clothes and walk into the shower. Never again will I do a thing for that woman! I throw my clothes on the chair and step into the shower forgetting that it needs to get warm first. "FUCK! What more?"
It takes me a minute to realize that Edward is really mad because of me and my big mouth. I feel ashamed. I know what he did was of his good heart but I felt betrayed. He went outside like in the open air, getting a look of something different than these walls. I know the things I said were hurtful. I need to watch what I say.
After half an hour Edward finally walks out of the shower. When he is in our room I walk in there too. He stands there in only a towel around his waist and I swallow while I scan his body. I can't help myself, he looks so good. I feel his eyes on me; my face turns almost purple, he caught me ogling him. "Bella, as you can see I am trying to dress myself and not in the mood for another angry tornado called Bella." "I… I know… I… I just wanted to tell you I am sorry… I never… never should have said all those things to you." I rush toward him and hug him. Slowly his arms hug me back. God that feels so good. Then I hear the kids scream like bloody murder!
