B.P.O.V
Is it possible that everything you ever sought after, everything that you've ever dreamed of is not what you dreamt it would be? When I first met Edward I had never been in love. I was in love with the idea of love. I was obsessed with finding a soul mate. I wished to have success, love, and the perfect life. But sometimes that is not how life works. No one's life is perfect. Perfection does not exist. We sometimes blind ourselves with the idea of how things could be. We ignore what is really in front of us.
I cradled my pillow tightly as I stared at the wall in front of me.
Angela called today. She is worried about me. Katy is pissed off at me. I've been ignoring them. The truth hurts me and I know that my friends will only throw the truth in my face. The last thing I want is to deal with being told what I've already known. Today was far better than I ever thought it would be but it is not enough to make it alright. I've been feeling things that I shouldn't. That I can't admit to myself or aloud. I thought I gave my heart away a long time ago to Edward but I didn't. I'm not completely sure when things changed entirely but it has and there is no going back.
I sighed and sat up on the edge of the bed. I traced my lower lip with my finger tip as the thought of Jay's lips pressed to mine filled my head. His husky baritone voice linger in my ear as his hands trailed over my body in it's entirety. His warm skin pressed to mine spread heat throughout my body like a wild fire. The visions of us together had been haunting me all day and my anxiety was not getting any better. I wanted to call off the wedding. My infidelity would catch up with me soon but I just could not find it in me to hurt Edward.
I stood to my feet. I heard the shower turn off and the shower door slide open. Edward had come home early. But not early enough to catch Jay and I making love up against the living room wall. He had a business dinner at eight and needed to get ready for it.
Normally I would have tagged along, wearing a fake smile and showing fake adoration for Edward, but I convinced him that I was sick and needed to stay at home. I was not really sick I just could not stand to look at him. I could not stand the thought of smiling and pretending to be madly in love with Edward when in reality all that I want is to be wrapped in Jay's arms.
I was too occupied with my thoughts that I had not realized that Edward had come into the room. He wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me to him. He gave me a sly smile and kissed my nose.
"You seem tensed," He said. "Long day with the caterers?"
"You have no idea," I said with a fake grin on my face. "Just a little nauseated that's all."
"I'm sorry that you are sick. I really wish you could accompany me tonight."
"I do too," I lied. "But I will be here when you get back."
Edward smiled, "I hope so."
I flinched as he took his hand and intertwined it with mine. We shared a silent moment before Edward kissed my lips and pulled away. I watched in silence as he dressed himself in a black tailored suit, dress shoes, and cufflinks. He sprayed his expensive cologne a few times and rushed to grab his coat.
"I'm already late," He said, rushing over to kiss me. "Don't wait up."
I watched as Edward vanished into the hallway. A wave of relief flushed over me. I had managed to hold myself together for once. I grabbed a towel. Maybe the warmth of a shower could help sooth me. Jay was downstairs and I was not ready to talk about what was next for us nor was I ready to discuss what occurred today. A shower would help kill time. As I grew closer toward the door I heard a loud vibration. I paused, taking a look around. There was a vibration again. It was coming from Edwards dresser. I walked over to it and opened it. The vibrations continued as I moved the shirts that were folded neatly to find a cell phone. It was all black and not the cell phone that Edward carried. I quickly picked it up to see the word, Home, flash across the main screen.
My heart stopped as I slid the phone forward and held it to my ear.
A woman was on the other end.
"Say hello to daddy Maci. Tell daddy how much we miss him and that we can not wait until his business trip is over," She said.
And then there was a sweet little voice, " Hewo daddy. Me and mommy misses you. I painted another picture of yew daddy. It has a suit and ebberything."
The tears fell from my eyes as I held my hand over my heart. My mind was completely blank.
"Daddy? Daddy wakes up sheepy head," she giggled.
"Macy give mommy the phone," The woman said. "Hello, Edward are you there?"
There was a knot crammed in my throat as I fought for air. I swallowed back, "This is Bella," I said.
"Bella? Why do you have Edward's phone?" she asked. "Who are you? Where is Edward?"
"I'm a friend. Can I take a message? I'll be sure that he get it?" I said.
"A friend?" She repeated. "Just have Edward to call me please."
"What is your name again?" I managed to choke up.
"Nicole," she said.
I removed the phone from my ear and threw it against the wall. The tears came in buckets as stalked over towards the closet. I grabbed a black dress and heels. Quickly I dressed myself and exited the room. I managed to reach the bottom step before I heard Jay's voice full of concern. I stopped dead in my tracks as his voice stung the bruises that Edward had just created.
"Bella?" He said. "Can we talk?"
I bit my lip as I turned to him. Tears stained my cheeks. His eyes were full of sorrow as he stalked toward me. In that moment something snapped inside of me.
"Do not fucking touch me," I yelled. "Tell me that you had no clue that Edward has a daughter that I know nothing about."
"I had no idea," He pleaded. "Bella you have to believe me."
"I don't believe you Jay. I don't believe that you, his best friend, knew nothing about this.
Don't fucking lie to me. I trusted you. I trusted both of you. What else are you not telling me?" I yelled.
Jay moved closer to me. His hands held a firm grip on my arms as I tried to pull away from him.
"Jacob, let go of me," I yelled. "Let go."
"Bella please listen to me. If only for a second will you just… Damn it."
I continued to struggle in his grip until we both were breathless pinned yet again to another wall. I tried to steady my breathing as I stared into his eyed. The tears would not stop. I felt as if my heart was ripped from my chest but it was still unclear if Edward had hurt me the most….or maybe it was Jay.
"I trusted you," I sobbed. "But I should have known that nothing but hurt could come from this Jay. This is what happens when you lie and you cheat. It's Karma."
"Bella, damn it, listen to me," He said shaking me repeatedly.
My movements ceased as I stared into his eyes. Tears threatened to fall from them.
"I had no idea that Edward had a kid and Karma does not justify what he's doing to you. Bella he's no good for you."
"Why would he keep something like this from you?"
"I don't know what to say," He said, holding his head down.
"Tell me the truth."
Jay released me from his grip, "I'm sorry."
"Your right. You both are sorry, pathetic, and worthless to me. I want nothing to do with you."
"You don't mean that."
"I do. This is over Jay. You can go back to your life now. The wedding is off."
I turned away from him and exited the house.
A few hours earlier…...
J.P.O.V
"I'm trying to tell you something important," I said to her.
"What?" She yelled angrily. "Are you trying to tell me that you are 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."
I sighed, throwing my arms up completely defeated, "Bella what the hell are you talking about?"
She tried to walk away but I pulled her back to me.
"Let go of me," she yelled.
She began to struggle to break free. Before I could realize what I was doing I had her pinned to the wall. My lips crashed onto hers hungrily. Bella finally relaxed after a few seconds. Her body was flush against mine as her lips parted, allowing me to taste her. She had become a drug to me and I could no longer resist. I had fought with myself for quite a while. Telling myself that I was here for one purpose only. That soon Bella would be out of my life and that things would go back to the way they had always been.
Suddenly I didn't want that anymore. I could not imagine not being around her. My heart clenched at the thought of that. I'd known it from the first time I felt her skin or saw her smile that there was nothing that I would not do for her.
I wanted to tell her the truth but I had grown afraid of the truth. The truth would more than likely take her away from me. She would hated me forever and shut me out of her life all together. I was not supposed to fall for her. Falling for her lead to me being in this position.
I planted kisses down her collar bone as I sucked her skin into my mouth. Bella moaned slightly. I smiled into the crook of her neck, taking another look at her gorgeous face. Tears fell from her eyes as she bit her lip. Fear fled my entire being as I pulled away.
"Am I hurting you?" I asked out of concern.
"No…please just don't stop. Help me take my mind off of this."
"Bella…"
'Please Jay."
Bella gazed at me. I smiled at her. How could I refuse her?
She wanted me and lately I had found myself wanting….no desperately needing her to want. I needed to feel her. I wanted to love her, entirely. Bella had quickly become the sun, the earth, and the stars to me. Her soul was beautiful. It shined through her eyes whenever I gazed into them.
In an instant my lips were back onto her body, kissing and loving every inch of her. I wanted to go painfully slow. After all this could be the last time I had to appreciate her body. She could hate me for the rest of my life but I would survive off just this one moment with her.
Her scent of arousal filled the room as I lifted her from the floor. I walked us over to the couch placing her down gently. She looked into my eyes. At that moment I could see the change there. I could no longer see the lust. What I saw was love and that terrified me. I removed her clothing piece by piece, loving every inch of exposed skin as I stripped her down to her birthday suit. Bella's moans filled the air as we joined as one. The sounds of pleasure was like a melody. It was the sweetest song I had ever heard. Her milky skin felt amazing against mine.
Each thrust was like heaven. I had been drowning in Bella for hours. I could not get enough of her. Never had I felt more complete.
Back to present…...
As I watched Bella walk out of the door I was sure that Bella was going to deal with Edward. That spelled disaster. Bella was not aware of the real Edward. He would break the last piece of her heart. I had to do something to stop this. I needed to make this right but nothing that I would say could keep her from being hurt.
B.P.O.V
I was trembling, my mind racing at the speed of light as I watched Edward from across the room. My presence was still unknown. The tears had managed to halt for a while as I calmed myself. I needed to get a few words out and there was no way to do that if I was a hysterical mess.
I sighed, straighten my dress and taking a step forward. I had no idea of what I would say to him. But I every intention of giving back to ring. Something inside of me was relieved. I was about to make the biggest mistake in my life by marrying Edward. I took another step forward. Before I could completely enter the dinning room of the restaurant I felt two firm hands take a hold of me, dragging me into the direction of the men's restroom with a hand covering my mouth preventing me from screaming. Once inside The hands released their grip on me.
"Jay, what the hell are you doing here?" I asked furiously.
"Bella just shut up for a minute," He hissed. "You are about to make a huge mistake by going in there."
"It does not matter. What do I have to lose?"
"Edward is not the guy that you think that he is."
"Oh really and just who the hell is he? Other than a liar, cheater, and let's not forget a father. Now you want to tell me the truth Jacob well fuck off," I said snatching away.
Jay's hands pushed my body back into place, " Damn it Bella, Edward is not my best friend. He is not even a friend," He said.
Wait, what?
"I'm sorry what did you just say," I asked startled.
"Edward is not my best friend. I met him this year. I need to tell you the truth. But I also need to know that you will let me finish what I need to say before you say anything."
"Jay," was all I could choke up. His eyes were full of pain as he stared down at me. My heart felt as if it had dropped to my feet and I had accidentally stomped on it. What he was about to say to me would probably break what was left of my heart today.
"I promise…"
"Bella I…"
Before he could finish the rest of his sentence we heard chuckles. Coming from outside of the door. The men's room door opened and in walked the person that I came here to see.
"Bella?" Edward said. "Jay, what the hell are the two of you doing here?" He hissed.
"We need to talk," I said pushing Jay's hands away from me. "Right now."
"I'm in the middle of a business meeting," Edward said.
"And I'm in the middle of leaving you for good. Why don't you tell me about Maci?"
