Chapter - The Winner takes it all
I couldn't believe that he was getting fucking married, that bastard. How could he do that to me, in front of me. How could he be that cold to me?
I walked down the road to the apartment slowly, watching the couples that walked down the street and trying to find something that they had that Tanya and Edward didn't have.
I watched as couples kissed and cuddled, as the strolled down the street holding hands and laughing with each other, there was nothing different about the way they acted compared to them.
I took the steps up the stairs to the apartment slowly and fought the urge not to cry, I couldn't cry. What right do I have to him, he's been dating her for years, I knew that this was bound to happen.
Sifting through my handbag to find my keys I felt a sharp jabbing pain.
"Ow" I yelped pulling my finger out and inspecting it.
Blood dripped out of it and I shoved the finger in my mouth trying to stop it. I saw the cause of the prick and pulled it out. It was a badge that Edward had given me years ago. It read 'The Winner takes it all'.
I felt like someone had just slapped me in the face, it was too much and the tears started to build in my eyes again.
I threw the badge in the outside bin and opened the door. Throwing the keys onto the table I looked around the flat. Our flat. the flat that once married Edward would move out of.
All of the memories that we had made here together were going to be taken away, I would never get to have Edward cook me breakfast, or sit up and watch Grey's Anatomy with me.
I would have to do all that alone. Edward would no longer come into my room at 3am to tell me about an idea he had for a painting, I would no longer see that smile before I went to bed. Or listen to him play bad Jazz music around the house when he was feeling down.
These were all things that Tanya was going to have, she would wake up each morning with him beside her and have him cook her breakfast, lunch and dinner.
My mind started to go into overdrive as I thought about the life that they would have, the life that may have been mine if I had just spoken up.
I could see them getting married, then a year after that having a beautiful little boy that looked just like Edward. This would be followed by more children, before they would know it they would be celebrating 50 years together.
Was it wrong for me to feel this emptiness, or for me to want to be the one that he married, the one he made love to and the one that he had kids with?
I could see now what might have been, the happy life that I may have had. That I couldn't have now because they now belonged to Tanya.
I ran over to the phone and dialled a number that I hoped would make me forget everything. They picked up on the fourth ring.
"Hello?"
"James, it's me baby. How are you? I missed you" I tried so hard not to cry.
"Hey sweetie, what's wrong? You sound upset" I let out a small sob which was covered by my hand
"Nothing, nothing at all. I'm just being silly. I missed you and it's just hard being away from you" he sucked in a deep breath on the other end
"I miss you too. I love you and can't wait until I'm back home with you" I felt so bad for lying to him.
"I know, is there no way you can get home quicker?" I needed him home to keep me sane.
"I could try. No you know what I'll take care of the stuff here and I'm going to be home in a few hours." I nodded before remembering that he couldn't see me.
"Ok. Thank you. I just need you at home with me" I sniffed into the phone.
"I'll see you soon baby, I promise. I love you" I held the phone away from my mouth and let out another strangled sob.
"Me too. Bye" I hung up without another word.
I let out the scream that had been building inside of me, I fell down to the floor and rocked back and forth.
It was like a flood gate had been opened, I just couldn't seem to stop the tears.
I heard the keys in the door and quickly shot to my feet before running into the kitchen. I turned the taps on and quickly splashed my face with cold water before patting myself dry.
I could hear laughing in the hallway, grabbing an glass out the cupboard and pouring myself a vodka soda I walked into the hallway. Standing there was Tanya and Edward, she was whispering in his ear and the exchange looked so intimate that I felt guilty for being there.
There was a peaceful look in her eyes, and she had a huge smile on her face. I cleared my throat and both of their faces shot up.
Tanya's grin grew even bigger and Edward gave an apologetic smile to me.
"James is coming home early. I asked and he said that he was leaving and would be here in a few hours" I said it so quiet that I couldn't be sure they heard me.
The look on their faces however told me that they had. Tanya nodded and smiled some more while Edward took on a cold look and nodded stiffly.
"That's great. I can't wait to tell him the good news. Who knows maybe this will kick him into gear and you two will be next." I felt sick to my stomach the second that she mentioned James and I marrying.
"Yeah, maybe" I watched Edwards face carefully and took a small bit of pleasure at the pain that crossed his face when I didn't disagree with Tanya.
I walked into the living room and could see them following me in out of the corner of my eye. I sat down in the cushy chair and watched as Edward and Tanya took the couch. Tanya curled her feet under her and leaned into Edwards side, he automatically put one arm around her shoulder.
"So I know that we only got engaged this afternoon, but Edward and I went and picked up some bridal magazines from a stand. I want to look over them the now." Tanya's eyes shined with excitement and I just couldn't say no.
So I just nodded and bit my lip to stop the whimper that I knew would escape me if I wasn't careful.
Tanya screamed and pulled out the magazine out of her handbag and laid one on the table.
"Ok so Bella, I want you to look at dresses and tell me what you want to wear and what I should wear" she shoved the magazine towards me.
It took all the strength inside of me not to tear that magazine apart. Instead I just picked it up and opened the first page.
It was painful looking at all the dresses and trying to pick one out for the woman that was going to marry the man I loved. Edward cleared his throat.
"Tanya maybe now isn't the time. Plus Bella probably has better things to do that look at these" he suggested giving her puppy dog eyes.
"Okay, okay, okay. I get it. You guys want to have the best friend chat. I'll go and I'm gonna call your mom to tell her the good news. It's great isn't it."
Tanya leaned in and kissed Edward on the mouth softly three times before coming over to me and kissing the top of my head. She waved slightly and walked out of the apartment with a bounce in her step.
As the door shut I looked over to Edward who had his eyes closed and a frown on his face.
"Ok Bella, Give it to me. Whatever you want to say, say it now" he shook his head
"Who says I even want to say anything? I might be happy for you" I tried to be as innocent as possible.
"Cut the crap, I know you too well. You have something to say, so say it" he demanded.
"Okay, you want me to say something. How about why her? How about was it planned? What do you want me to say? That I'm happy for you? Well if that's what you want then I'm sorry I can't do that." his eyes were still closed.
"I'm sorry Bella. I'm sorry that I sprung that on you" he whispered
"Sorry? Sorry isn't going to take back the fact that you are marrying her. Sorry doesn't make the pain inside of me get any better. How could you do that to me. How could you kiss me the other day and then propose to her today. I feel like I can't breathe, I can't breathe when I watch her with you. Or whenever she calls. I hate her. I hate my best friend. All because of you" I shouted out feeling the tears come back.
Edwards eyes shot open and his eyes blazed with a fire that I had only seen a handful of times.
"And you don't think that I can't breathe whenever you're with James? When I see him touch you I feel sick. I hate the fact that I can't even kiss my fiancée without thinking about you. You're in my head all the time! I can't escape you and I don't even know if I fucking want to" He shouted
I walked towards him and pushed his chest causing him to stumble backwards.
"You….You don't get to feel that way. You are marrying Tanya. You made your choice. You have to live with the consequence." I cried more freely
Edwards face softened a bit and he looked around the room wildly. I looked up to his face and let out a whimper. It brought his attention back to me and his hand came up to my face and cupped my cheek. His thumb brushed my skin and I closed my eyes.
My hand came up to meet his and my head turned to kiss his palm. I heard him sigh and I leaned into his palm even more, his hand then moved from my cheek to my chin and tilted my face towards him.
His eyes searched mine and he slowly leaned down, his lips met mine gently and we kissed softly. I felt his tongue come out and sweep my bottom lip, looking for an entrance to my mouth which I gave him. The kiss became more passionate and our tongues fought together, his hands started to move from my face down my body. They caressed my neck before moving onto my chest. He then followed down to the bottom of my dress, playing with the material for just a second before his hands reached around the back.
His fingers went for the zipper and pulled it down before pushing the straps down as well. I stepped out of the dress and kicked it to the corner of the room.
There I was standing in my underwear and he was still fully clothed. He must have realised because he took my hand and gently lead it to the bottom of his shirt.
I leaned back in for a kiss before I began to unbutton his top. He shrugged out of the shirt and pulled me into him, our skin met and I hissed in the simple pleasure from it.
I reached down to his trousers and started to fumble with the belt, his hands joined mine and we hurried to undo it and unzip his trousers. Before I had even got them off of him his lips were back at mine. His tongue probing my mouth, searching for mine.
He began to back me very slowly towards his bedroom, before spinning us around to kick the door open, his mouth still glued to mine he pulled me towards the bed and kept his hands at the back of my head while we fell down.
He rolled me over so that he was on top and began to kiss my neck, moving down toward my chest, he freed me from my bra. Once freed he began to kiss lower and lower until he got to my nipples, he sucked gently on the top before becoming rougher.
I moaned in pleasure, this was better than I expected. His tongue trailed around my breast before trailing down my stomach.
"Fuck…..Edward" I groaned out.
His nimble fingers pulled on the elastic of my panties and pulled them down my legs. I held my breath in anticipation for what would happen next.
My back arched and I moaned out loud when his hot mouth met my dripping pussy. My hips bucked up to meet his tongue. He chuckled darkly before diving back in.
"God, oh God. Don't stop. Please don't stop" I begged
My hands grabbed onto the back of his head to hold him in place as I could feel my orgasm approaching. His tongue lapped at my clit and gently bit down causing me to come.
I lay panting as he crawled up my body, he kissed me on the lips and I could taste myself on his mouth.
"You have no fucking clue how long I've wanted to do that for" he growled.
I grabbed his face and smashed my lips into his, desperate to get another taste of myself.
My feet hitched around his waist and my toes tried to push his boxers down. Edward laughed into my mouth and his hands helped my cause.
Edward then ground his hips into mine causing me to moan at the feel of his erection pressed into my centre.
"So fucking sexy" he muttered.
I could feel his tip at my entrance and looked up into his eyes. Edward gave me a questioning look before he pushed into me gently.
I could feel myself expand to fit his length, he pushed in a few more times before he bottomed out. I could feel ever inch of him inside me. I was nearly ready to come at the feeling of him being inside me.
Slowly he began a steady rhythm of thrusting in and out of me. His lips never left any part of me for long and I could feel him sucking on the flesh in my neck.
Our hips met in the perfect motion and I could hear Edward grunt every few seconds. I loved this feeling of being so full and I never wanted to go without this feeling again.
Our thrusts were becoming faster and harder.
"Fuck me harder Edward" I moaned
"Fuck Bella! You're so fucking tight" he groaned as his hips thrust into me.
I could feel my orgasm approaching and fast. Edwards must have felt it as well because his hand came down to pinch my clit, sending me over the edge.
"Baby, I'm coming" Edward warned
"Come inside me baby…… Oh come inside me " I demanded
My walls tightened around his shaft and I felt him shudder before feeling him come inside of me. I screamed at the feeling.
He pumped in me a few more times before I started to feel him go soft. His body collapsed onto mine and his head buried itself in my chest. I wiped his hair back and I tried to get my breathing back to normal.
Edward lay panting on top of me before he pulled out of me and rolled over onto his side.
We lay for a few second barely talking until Edward scoffed lightly.
"That was something else" he panted leaning over to kiss my cheek
I nodded and laughed lightly before realisation sank in. I shot up and gathered the blanket around me .
Edward looked at me with curiosity in his eyes.
"Edward, what have we done?" I asked with horror
"I don't know Bella, we made love. " he answered harshly
I closed my eyes and tried to keep the sickness in my stomach down.
"What do we do now then?" I asked
Edward simply shrugged and pulled my hand back towards him. I gave in a sat back down on the bed, the bed that he sometimes shared with Tanya.
"For now? We sleep and the rest we figure out in the morning"
I couldn't help but follow his command and closed my eyes, welcoming the feeling of sleepiness.
The rest we would figure out.
So I hope that this really pleases people. Let me know what you think.
