Chapter 7 - Emotions EPOV
I made my way out of New Directions. My hands were still shaking with anger. I couldn't believe she had gone to see my mum. I wandered along the street, not really thinking about where I was going. My mind was in overdrive. It had been a long time since I'd allowed myself to think about my sperm donor. Ever since he'd started his disgusting fling with Victoria, I'd stopped considering him my father. Then, to top it all off, he has a baby and call it Edward! I was disgusted. It was bad enough that he'd shacked up with a girl in MY year, but to impregnate her and to give it the same name as me beggared belief. I'd come to terms with the fact that he wasn't really that bothered about me, that I'd halted his life when I was born, but to replace me with a younger model. Ugh! I'd heard that he was a real hands on dad with the midget.
I pulled myself away from these thoughts and glanced at my surroundings. I was outside Rose's block of flats. I decided to go and talk to her. I was about to buzz her flat when the door opened as someone was leaving. I entered the gloomy lobby and got into the lift.
I hesitated outside the front door, my hands sweating with nerves. I knocked gently and waited. I could hear footsteps heading towards me from inside. The door opened and Rose flew into my arms.
"I was so bloody worried. Don't you ever fuck off like that again, even if I do yell at you." She pulled me into the flat and shut the door. "I've been beside myself. I shouldn't have screeched at you like that."
"Rose, calm down. As you can see, I'm fine. I went to the hostel early. You were right to give me that ear bashing. It's because of that I actually went. Thank you." I kissed her forehead. "Every word you said was right. Drugs are for mugs."
We sat and chatted for a few hours. I told her about Bella going to see my mum, and how it had royally pissed me off.
"Is she pretty?" Rose's question threw me.
"What's that got to do with anything?"
"I just want to know."
"She's ok I guess." I hoped I didn't blush.
"Edward, when was the last time you actually noticed a girl?" What? I had my fair share of women. I was getting confused. "Oh, I know you sleep with women, but when was the last time you had a conversation with one, other than me or Alice? Just for the sake of talking, not to get into her knickers?" I had to admit, she had me stumped there!
"Well. If you put it like that." I grinned at her. She slapped the back of my head.
"You prick." She was smiling, so I knew she wasn't taking me too seriously.
"To be honest Rose, I haven't met a woman that I've wanted to talk to."
"You've obviously not been talking to the right women. Plastic types don't suit you Edward. You're a smart guy; you need someone who isn't going to just agree with everything you say. The right woman for you needs to challenge you and actually fight her own corner."
"I guess you're right." I sighed. "What about you then? When are you going to find yourself a good man?"
"Do I need one?"
"I wouldn't say need, but wouldn't it be nice for you to have someone to lean on every now and then?"
"I guess. I must admit, it would be nice to have an adult to spend time with once Morgan's in bed. You know, just general chatting and stuff." I did know what she meant. I wanted that too. She was right, I usually honed in on the plastic type, the easy lay. I needed to get my act together.
"Emmett's a good guy like that." I hinted. I swore I saw a hint of a smile.
"He's ok I guess." I recognised the tone of her answer when I answered her question about Bella being pretty.
"He's got a job at least." I laughed. Emmett was a bouncer at a nightclub in Leicester Square at the weekends.
"More than most these days." I looked down at my watch.
"Thanks for today, but I better be getting back. They've got a curfew of all things. I meant what I said about Emmett. I really think he could make you happy." I kissed her cheek and left her to her thoughts.
I got back to the hostel with five minutes to spare. I saw Bella wasn't in the office when I walked past. I headed up to my room and got ready for bed. It had been an emotional day and I felt drained. I was asleep within seconds.
