Chapter 26: Revenge

BPOV

I had to hold back a sigh as I watched Edward leave with the tramp. I trusted Edward completely, but I didn't trust his ex-girlfriend. Something told me that she had lot up her sleeve, and she was willing to pull out all the stops. But I was not going to go down without a fight. If she wanted a war, she was going to get one.

"How did you and Edward meet?" Anne asked me after we had picked up some hot chocolate.

"We met at school, and we were set up on a blind date by one of my best friends." I answered faking a smile. I knew that Alexia's mother was just as bad as Alexia, if not worse.

"Isn't that sweet!" She commented as we sat down on a couch. "We always thought that Alexia and Edward would be together. I mean they were for two years, but then my daughter went off to Paris and Edward went off to New York."

I bit my tongue to stop myself from being rude. She had no right to bring up Edward's past relationship, and I knew she was trying to get a rise out of me.

"From what I hear, he became quite the party animal." She added noticing my quietness.

"He's definitely changed. Most nights we just stay at home watching movies and lying in bed." I replied with a smile as Anne scowled.

"How long have you two been together?" She inquired.

"Almost five months." I responded. "But I feel like I've known him forever."

"You're not the least bit worried about him going astray. I mean he's a very good looking young man, and he has quite the reputation from what I hear." She said.

"He's never given me a reason not to trust him." I interjected with a smile.

Anne simply rolled her eyes turning her attention to one of the magazines that were sitting on the table. I looked down at my watch and sighed, I really wanted Edward to get back. We spent the rest of the hour in awkward silence with Anne looking at me through the corner of her eyes. She really made me feel uncomfortable almost as if she was trying to belittle me.

After about an hour Edward returned carrying Alexia in his arms. She had her arms draped across his shoulders and around his neck with her head resting on his chest. I felt my blood begin to boil as I noticed the triumphant smile on her face as she held on to him tighter.

Logically I knew there had to be an explanation. However, part of me just wanted to rip her to shreds. She was crossing a line, and she was going to have to pay.

I arrived at the bottom of the slope a few minutes after Alexia. I had gone slower on purpose, and noticed that Alexia was sitting on the floor her hands around her right ankle. "Edward, it hurts." She cried as soon as she saw me.

I approached her cautiously. "What did you do?" I asked her.

"I don't know I just fell and it feels as if I twisted my ankle or something." She replied the tears starting to appear in her eyes.

I sighed helping her remove the skis. "It doesn't look swollen." I commented as I studied her ankle.

"But it hurts." She protested.

"Can you stand?" I asked her holding out my hand to her. I could not tell whether she was faking, and she looked to be in genuine pain.

She took my hand practically screaming in agony when her weight hit her foot. "Edward, I can't possibly make it to the lodge on my own."

"I'll help you." I said letting her lean on me.

"Edward I can't." She stated after we had taken a few steps. "Can't you just carry me?"

"Alexia, it's not that far." I urged her.

"Please, Edward." She pleaded.

"Fine." I conceded picking her up trying not to cringe as she wrapped her arms around me.

I quickly walked into the lodge immediately noticing the glare Bella was giving Alexia. The anger was extremely evident in her eyes.

"What happened?" Anne practically screamed as I placed Alexia on the couch.

"I think I twisted my ankle, mom." Alexia said with a pout as I tried to disentangle myself from her grasp.

"How did it happen?" Anne asked rushing to her daughter's side.

"Did Anne behave?" I asked Bella as I gave her a hug.

"She was civil." She replied shortly still scowling at Alexia. "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine, and I'm pretty sure she is too." I answered noticing that mother and daughter were speaking quietly, and Alexia didn't seem to be in any pain.

"Edward, do you think Carlisle will mind taking a look at her foot? I mean I would hate to have to go all the way to the hospital," Anne asked me.

"I'm sure he won't mind." I reluctantly answered.

"Then let's go, I wouldn't want my leg to swell, because I won't be able to wear the cute heels I bought." Alexia said reaching for me to carry her.

"My car isn't that far." I told her.

"You can't expect her to walk like that!" Anne exclaimed. "What if it's broken?"

"It's obviously not." I retorted rolling my eyes.

"You're not a doctor, and there is no way to be sure." Anne added.

"Just go ahead." Bella whispered in my ear before picking her a little roughly.

"You're so strong, Edward." Alexia commented touching my arms looking directly at a seething Bella.

I ignored her comment walking briskly into the car where Bella held the backseat door open for her. I placed her on the seat moving my head as she attempted to kiss me. As soon as I was out of the car Bella closed the door.

"Is it alright if I hurt her?" She asked me angrily.

"You have my complete blessing." I replied causing us to both of us to laugh as I held the door open for Bella.

I held Bella's hand the entire way home, which I noticed greatly bothered Alexia. When we arrived at the house I made it a point of opening Bella's door first and giving her a kiss before taking Alexia out of the backseat.

"You don't have to look like carrying me is a chore." She told me rubbing my shoulder.

"It's definitely not something I want to do." I replied.

"You know you couldn't wait to have your hands all over me." She whispered in a tone that was suppose to sound seductive, but sounded trashy.

"I don't touch trash." I replied coldly practically dropping her on the couch.

"You touch her." She retorted.

"That's why I would never lower my standards to touch you again." I said with a glare as Bella returned to the living room with Carlisle.

"What happened?" Carlisle asked noticing the tension in the room.

"I fell and hurt my ankle. I think it may be broken." Alexia responded as I rolled my eyes.

"Let's see." Carlisle said as he looked down at her ankles which appeared normal. "Which one hurts?"

"The right." She answered.

I watched as Carlisle examined her before Bella came from behind me wrapping her arms across my stomach and chest. "She's definitely persistent." She said softly.

"That she is." I answered.

"Everything looks fine. It's not broken. Probably just sprained if anything." Carlisle stated. "Just stay off it for a few days and you should be fine."

"Few days, but that means I can't ski." She cried in horror.

"The only that will heal it is time." Carlisle explained as Esme opened the door for Anne and John.

She pouted crossing her arms over her chest. "What I'm I suppose to do all day?"

"Let's get you home, Darling." Anne stated, and I quietly left the room to avoid having to carry her again.

Bella followed me out of the living room and up to my room. Alexia's little spectacle had really annoyed me, and I wanted to make sure Bella was alright. "I feel violated." I told her hugging her closely.

"It took all my self control not to attack her." She replied as her hands explored my back.

"I wish you would have. If I wasn't so nice I would've told her off." I added my lips brushing hers before the kiss began to deepen.

I felt her sigh as I pressed her closer to my body. I could never get enough of her kisses and the way our bodies were made for each other, like two pieces of a puzzle. Her body shivered as my hands sneaked past her sweater to touch the soft skin of her back.

"Bella?" Esme called with a knock on the door. "Can I come in." I groaned and moved away from Bella.

"Come in." She called still out of breath.

"I'm sorry for interrupting." My mom said obviously noticing the fluster on Bella's face. "Alexia and company left, and I wanted to know whether you still wanted to go into town with me. I wanted to pick up some groceries and maybe look through some of the shops."

"Sure." Bella said happily. I loved that she felt so comfortable with my mom. "Would you be alright by yourself?" Bella asked me.

"You two go have fun, and do some shopping. I'm going to shower and then take a nap before dinner." I answered kissing Bella softly.

"We'll be back in a couple of hours." My mom informed before they both left leaving me in my room.

After flipping through the television and finding nothing that held my interest I decided to shower. My shower took a lot longer than I planned, because the hot water really made me relax, and think. I had really missed Alexia when we had broken up, and I had thrown myself into the party scene to get over her. But I genuinely had no feelings left for her, she was part of my past, and I had completely moved on. I had found my soul mate, and it really bothered me that she still wanted to be with me. Her persistence was annoying.

I wrapped myself up in a towel before finding a pair of pajama pants in the room. Since I hadn't skied in so long I was extremely tired, and just want to sleep before Bella got back. I was asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.

I woke up suddenly feeling an unfamiliar weight straddling my hips. I instantly knew it wasn't Bella. Bella never woke me up in that fashion, and it just felt different. "You know you want me." A seductive voice whispered in my ear.

I opened my eyes and was face to face with a barely dressed Alexia. She was wearing a transparent bra and panty set with way too much makeup. "Alexia, stop embarrassing yourself, and get dressed." I ordered as her hips began to move against me.

"Why fight what you know you need!" She said leaning for a kiss in which I quickly rolled over causing her to fall on the bed.

"I'm not kidding, Alexia. We are over." I stated getting up. "Please leave this house before I do something drastic."

"I'm not going anywhere." She said crawling on the bed and lifting her behind in the air.

"You're acting like a whore." I told her as I put on a shirt stepping towards the door.

She practically pounced throwing me on the floor by force of the collision. "But I'm yours." She said before slobbering all over my ear.

"Alexia!" I yelled roughly pushing her away at the same time as the door of my room opened revealing a very angry Bella and a the shocked face of my mother.
