B.P.O.V
Sitting next to Edward while sitting across from Jay at the dinning room table was strange and overwhelming.
How the hell had I gotten myself into this situation?
But here I am listening to Edward go on and on about work while Jay is pretending to be interested in what he is talking about.
I stab the peas on my glass plate repeatedly, one by one as I think of when to tell Edward everything. The sooner I tell him, the better the outcome. Hopefully.
I will spill my guts and beg for his forgiveness.
Edward's phone began to ring. I look up from my plate and meet his gaze.
"Edward," I said. "Are you really going to take a call during dinner?"
He pleads with me with his eyes.
"Go ahead, it's just business," I rolled my eyes.
Edward sighed, placed his fork on the dish, and got up to leave the room.
Jay watched until Edward was completely out of the room before he turned to me, "Your not telling him."
"News fucking flash," I hissed. "I'm telling him. I can't handle this...this thing between you and I is wrong."
"Says who?" He asked
"Says the ring on my finger that indicate that I am engaged to Edward, not you."
"But you don't have to be engaged to him."
"Seriously Jay?"
"Take the ring off," He smirked.
"No I will not. I love Edward."
"Take it off or I'll do it for you," He said, standing to his feet.
My attention flashed between the archway that Edward had disappeared through and Jay. I shot him a knowing look saying,'You had better not' , But of course he ignored me and proceeded to where I sat at the table.
"Do not," I began to speak as he approached me. "Don't you dare."
Jay smirked, "What shouldn't I do?" He asked. "Should I not to this?"
Jay closed the distance between us. He knelt down in front of me and crashed his lips onto mine before I could object. I moaned slightly and threw my arms around his neck. His lips parted,begging for entrance. But before he could taste me I pulled away. I pushed him away and stood to my feet.
Edward's was still engaged in a conversation in the other room. His annoying laugh was an indication of that. I began to pace back and forth. Tears began to trickle down my flushed cheeks as I stopped. I turned completely around to face Jay who was standing directly in front of me now. I refused to look up at him. Jay took his finger tips and tilted my head up until I met his gaze. He took his free hand and wiped a few of my tears away.
"Why are you crying?" He asked.
I sighed, "I don't know."
"I think you do," He said. "So tell me Bella, why are you crying?"
"I can't do this," I repeated.
I can't tell you, Jay that everyday I fall deeper in love with you. I can't tell you that it hurt to see you with Katy. That your smile makes me melt, and your voice haunts me in my dreams. Jay I think I love you. I think that I am in love with you.
"Bella," Edward said, bringing me back to reality.
I took a few steps back, away from Jay, startled. I gazed over in Edwards direction. He did not seem pissed, only worried.
"Why are you crying love?"
"I'm not crying," I said, wiping the tears from my face. "Something got in my eye. Actually I'm really tired Edward. I'm going to shower and hit the sack. Goodnight Jay."
I proceeded to exit but not before stopping to kiss Edward. Inside I was relieved that he could not see right through me. But I was just anxious to get upstairs. I knew that in the shower I could cry. I could let all of the stress and pain release it's self.
Edward kissed me back and smiled, "I'll be up in a second."
"Not to long," I said, exiting the room. I did not have to turn around to know that Jay's eyes were on me as I exited.
I did not stop until I was in the shower. My body collapsed onto the shower floor as I allowed the water to soak me.
What was happening to me? How could I be head over heels in love with someone who is not Edward? When did things go from bad to worse? How would I be able to walk around this house with both the men I love and pretend everything is the same?
I couldn't. It's not the same. It will never be the same. My life has not been the same since that moment in Cabo when he spoke his first word to me. This is my fault. I allowed myself to go to far. And now I can't turn back. A part of me wanted to tell Edward a few day's ago when he arrived. I should have told him that moment but I could never hurt him like that.
Some part of me still cares for Edwards feelings. I could see images of him in my head, as I tell him what's been going on. Images of me breaking his heart. It hurts to think of it. The fact that I'm going to hurt him is what brought me to my knees. I was wrong to think that telling him would make this thing with Jay go away. Telling him won't rid my feelings and keeping all of this hidden won't help ease my guilt.
I stood to my felt and stood under the shower head, allowing the water to consume me and my tears. I knew for certain I would not sleep tonight.
J.P.O.V
I watched as Bella exited the kitchen. A part of me wish that she had stayed a little while longer. I really did not want to have the conversation with Edward. All week the sudden doubt had taken over me. As I watched Bella smile and enjoyed her laughter I wondered how could someone ever hurt her. How could someone want to do anything other than lover her? I had not realized how much I was falling for her until that night in the hallway when she said,'I want you'.
Sure I've heard the words before but coming from Bella it felt as if they held more meaning. I needed to get out of this. Soon I would have to tell her the truth. She would probably hate me forever and think that every moment that we shared was a lie, but it was not. I had been blunt about what I wanted from her in Cabo. But I knew what I wanted from her when I moved into this house.
It's silly of me to think that we could have a relationship once this thing is over but I refuse to let her go. I'm upset that I am have to hurt her.
I turned to face Edward again, "We need to talk."
"Yeah we do," He said. "Bella has been smothering me all week. I could barely get a word in. We have to make this quick before she gets out of the shower. So did you do it?"
"I couldn't," I lied.
"What do you mean you couldn't?" He asked furiously. "I can't wait all year while I pay for you to wine and dine my fiance. Screw her and be done with this already."
I sighed, "This is not a good idea."
Edward walked closer to me, "I paid you to do a job and I want it done, Friend. How many business trips do you think I can take before she starts to suspect something? I don't want to break her heart. That is why you are here. I need you to make it as if she breaks mine."
"I don't get it," I said. "Why not tell her the truth? You know Edward, what is the truth? Why are trying to get out of this wedding?"
"That's none of your business, Jacob. Now if you can't get the job done you can pack up and leave. I want you to fuck her by the end of this week. As a matter of fact before you do it, text me. I'd like to walk in on the two of you, cause a scene, and cry. You know, the shit that broken hearted people do. Are we clear?"
"Crystal."
Edward exited the kitchen. I stood there a moment. How did I allow myself to be sucked into this? Oh yeah, I had a sick kid that needed heart surgery that I can't afford to pay for. I ran into Edward when all hope was lost. The thought that Riley would die had ruined me. Although I never admitted it, I had been counting down the days. Rose decided that she no longer wanted the responsibility, that she was done taking care of a sick kid, and took off. She left me alone. She left us alone.
I had come across Edward when all was lost, when I had no other choice. I place my head in my hands as images of Riley filled my head. Everything I did was for her. Everything I did was for my beautiful daughter whom now still had her life ahead of her.
I smiled.
Telling Bella would be hard but she had to know that what I did was not personal. It was to keep my daughter alive.
Edward promised that once this was over I was free to go. My debt would be paid. But now standing here I could not just walk away. Knowing that Bella would be hurt in the end pained me. What am I going to do? How could I possibly make the outcome different?
The fact is that I couldn't.
B.P.O.V
Today sucks.
Yesterday was worse. But today definitely sucks. I woke to an empty bed. Edward was gone, probably at work. It was raining outside, again. I wish I could have bury myself under the covers and never come out but Jay and I were going to try a few caters today. Four of them were stopping by for tasters. I was definitely in no mood to eat but I had to pretend everything was alright. I had to smile when I all I wanted to do was tell Jay the truth. I wanted to tell him how I feel.
Ugh!
I got up from the bed, showered, and got dressed. My outfit was a simple back shirt, blue jeans, and booties. I pulled my hair back, away from my face and placed it in a ponytail. Once my girly routine was finished I crept out into the hallway. I could hear Jay's voice. I paced myself down the stairs.
Maybe I should stop eavesdropping?
Maybe not.
"I miss you too, honey," Jay said. "I promise I'll always come home to you. I love you...so much."
Love? who does he love?
"Do you remember the day that I took you to the creek? And what did I say?"
What did you say?
"That's right sweetheart. I said that was our spot. Whenever you are lonely you should think of it, you should think of me because no matter where I go and no matter what I do I will always love you. You are the number one girl in my life, Angel."
The tears filled my eyes. He was talking to a woman. I was sure of it. He had confessed his love to her, I heard it from his lips.
After waiting a few seconds, I proceeded down the stairs. I was holding on by a thread. My heart ace was at full attention. Jay must have heard me because he ended his conversation quickly. I entered the living room to see him standing by the window. He wore a white tee shirt, blue jeans, and black shoes. I sighed, gazing at him, "Morning."
"Good morning," He said. "How did you sleep?"
"Great."
"So..um Listen can we talk?"
"No."
"No?" He repeated after me. "Bella is something wrong?"
"I'm fine."
He took a few steps closer to me, "About last night..."
"I said don't," I yelled. "Just leave it alone alright?"
Before I could walk away Jay had me in his firm grip. I tired to gaze away but his grip became tighter, forcing me to meet his gaze.
"I'm trying to tell you something important," He said.
"What?" I said with malice. "Are you trying to tell me that your done with this cat and mouse game? That you are ready to go back to your girlfriend now, Jay? If that is what you are trying to say then there is no need. You don't need my permission to do so."
"Bella what the hell are you talking about?" He said angrily.
"Let go of me."
I began to struggle in an effort to break free. Angrily, I gazed back into his eyes. In that moment I saw something snap. The next thing I knew I was being pinned to the wall beside me. Jay crashed his lips onto mine. The more I struggled the more he was not take no for an awnser. I sighed, finally allowing my body to melt in his touch. The moment I let go was the moment that I lost myself. Jay took both my leg, wrapping them around his waist, lifting me from the ground. His tongue begged to taste me. As our tongues intertwined I completely lost myself in him. I lost myself in this. Nothing else seemed to matter.
Jay removed his lips from mine, quickly attacking my neck as he sucked my bare skin into his mouth. I moaned slightly as the tears filled my eyes. Now was not the time to get emotional but no matter what I told myself the tears wanted to break free and so they did.
Jay gazed back into my eyes. His movements halted.
"Am I hurting you?" He asked worriedly.
I shook my head, "No...just please don't stop. Help me take my mind off of this."
"Bella..."
"Please Jay," I pleaded.
He obliged, taking my lips back into his and shortly my body left the current reality of what we were and what this would become.
