Maybe you should just shut up
Even when it gets tough
Baby 'cause this is love.
And you know when push comes to shove
It's gonna take the both of us
Baby, this is love
Baby, this is love- Push Avril Lavigne

Dear Edward,

Thank you for all of your help today and I can't wait to go to Luigo's with you.

Sincerely,

Tanya Denali

What? Edward was taking Tanya to our Italian restaurant? He said it was our spot and that he would never bring clients there. All of a sudden I wasn't worried about not receiving my sexual release, now I was worried about Tanya.

Bella's POV:

For the last hour of work all I thought about was Tanya and the letter I read, which was now staring in front of me on, across my desk. It felt as though someone was squeezing my heart and was refusing to let go; that's how jealous I was. I wanted to know what was going on between him and Tanya. I trusted Edward with all of my heart so I had to believe nothing was happening and that maybe Tanya's letter was wrong. But I had a funny feeling Edward was taking Tanya out to Luigos.

I glanced at the clock, it read 6:00, and it was time for me to leave. Thank goodness I thought to myself, I knew I would go crazy if I had to spend more time in this cramped office. I got my things organized and grabbed the folder which had Tanya's note. I placed it in my black brief case. I knew Edward wouldn't be at his office because Edward love to come home early to fix me dinner; he loved to cook for me and I loved watching him cook. So I took a big breathe and ended hope, knowing somehow I had to ask Edward about Tanya without seeming like a bitchy, jealous wife!

As soon as I entered the house, I could smell the scent of Spaghetti and garlic bread; it smelt delicious. I took off my coat and shoes as I placed the briefcase on the floor. I stared at it; it was like a ticking time bomb. I was afraid what would happen when the bomb exploded.

"Hey beautiful, how was the rest of your day?" Edward asked as he greeted me, pretending that he did not refuse my climax earlier today.

"It was good thanks!" I said as I kissed him on his cheek and walked into the kitchen, where the amazing aroma hit me full force.

"Wow this smells so good Edward! You didn't have to!" I said examining the spaghetti.

"Of course I did Bella; you are my beautiful wife and deserve a beautiful meal." Edward said as he took me in his arms and hugged me tight.

I sighed. It had been a long day and I was glad to be in Edward's safe, tight arms.

"So are you ready for Edward's super spaghetti?" Edward asked.

I nodded my head, realizing that I was very hungry. Edward made me sit down as he gathered the food and placed a plate of spaghetti in front of me. He took out the garlic bread from the oven, placed the pieces in a bread basket and set it down on the table. Then he took out a bottle of white wine from the cellar and poured both of us a glass.

"Cheers!" He said as we clinked glasses.

"This looks so good Edward!" I said as we began to eat.

Edward started talking about his day, without mentioning Tanya and I talked to Edward about my day without mentioning Jacob, but all that was about to change when Edward's phone, which was placed on the kitchen counter began to ring. I thought Edward would ignore it but he got up and went for his phone. I thought again he would ignore it and continue to join me for dinner but he didn't.

"I'm sorry Bella, this is Tanya, I asked her to give me a call tonight if she got a hold of a client we have been trying to persuade into our company." Edward said as he walked into the spare room, talking to Tanya.

So I sat there, listening to Edward give his attention to Tanya and not his fiancé. I poured myself another glass of wine and drank it in one shot. The anger was pulsing all around me and my heart was beating like a drum. I tried to eat more spaghetti but it felt as though someone was doing cartwheels in my stomach.

All of a sudden I heard Edward hang up his phone, then he walked backed into the kitchen and sat down.

"I'm sorry about that, you know how work can be, but wow that Tanya is amazing we got that client I have been trying to get for ages!" Edward exclaimed as he took a sip of wine.

I didn't answer as I took another swig of wine.

"Isn't that good news Bella?" Edward asked me.

"Yeah maybe you should reward Tanya by taking her to Luigos!" I blurted out. I didn't know why, but it just came out like a missile.

Edward stared at me.

"How do you know about that?" Edward asked.

"Tanya gave me a folder to give you and her letter fell out which notified me of your Luigo's date." I said.

"So you looked through my things? MY THINGS? Why would you go through my things? It is NOT a date Bella, it is for work, and you know that." Edward said his voice going higher and deep. I knew he was mad.

"For work? I don't see you talking on the phone with other employees or taking clients to our restaurant?" I said making my voice go higher.

"Oh c'mon Bella, you know my field of work and besides all the other restaurants were full Luigo's was the only one available. I thought you would be happy for me that I actually found a good employee who would actually help my company. You know I have female clients, you are being so immature, I can't even be here with you. I have paperwork to do anyways."

"Do you mind if I do paperwork?" He said sarcastically as he angrily got up from the table.

"And next time Bella Swan, I would suggest you don't go through my things." He said as he stormed off.

As soon as he went, the tears started to fall. Maybe I was being immature. Maybe I was over analyzing things. But I was still surging with rage that Edward would actually tell me I was immature.

All of a sudden Edward came back into the kitchen and I thought he was going to apologize but instead he was carrying his briefcase.

"I'm going to the office; I had more work than I thought I had to do." Edward said without even kissing me. The door slammed shut and I started to cry again. But I didn't have to cry for long because Jacob phoned.

"Hey Bella, are you okay?" He asked noticing that something was wrong.

"Yeah." I said but I knew Jacob would not believe me so I told him what had happened.

"Do you need anything?" Jacob asked.

I looked around realizing there was tons of spaghetti and I didn't really want to eat alone, so I invited Jacob for dinner and of course he accepted.

In fifteen minutes Jacob arrived and I gave him some food. He hugged me tight and let me talk about that bitch; Tanya. It felt good to be heard and that someone was actually listening to me. Jacob didn't think I was being immature, he actually thought I had every right to be worried. But like usual he made me feel beautiful and told me Edward was acting like a jerk. With all the wine I had, I was beginning to feel tipsy but I felt good. Jacob and I talked about the past and about the memories we had kept for so long. Our first movie date, our first fight everything. I laughed at his jokes remembering how he would make me laugh.

I didn't realize how late it was until; I heard the door open and I realized Edward was home. All of a sudden I felt guilty that Jake was here, but then I tried to remind myself that Jake was just a friend.

"Well what do we have here?" Edward asked as he entered the kitchen.

"You must be Edward Cullen, I'm Jacob Black." Jake said as he got up to greet Edward.

"I know who you are; you're that jerk who broke her heart, so why are you having dinner with my fiancé?" Edward asked as he glanced at Jacob than at me.

"He was just in the neighborhood and decided to come say hello." I said lying to Edward about the real reason why Jake was here.

"Well I think it is time to say goodbye." Edward said through seething teeth.

"Edward, I don't think that is very nice, he is a friend and I think he should stay as long as he wants." I said glaring at Edward.

"I'm sorry Jacob, but I think it is time you leave my fiancé alone, you have broken her heart for the last time." Edward said.

"I never want to break her heart again Edward, she is an amazing women, I hope you know that." Jacob said as he got up from the table and smiled at me.

"Of course I know that Jacob Black! She is amazing and mine! You had your chance with her so I suggest you stop coming over." Edward said angrily as Jacob left.

As soon as he left, Edward turned to me, his face filled with rage.

"WHAT WERE YOU DOING WITH HIM?" He asked, the anger surged through his body.

"Edward, he is a friend, he just wanted to make sure I was okay." I said putting the dishes in the dish washer.

"Oh so now he is a friend? I thought he was your ex who broke your heart?" He asked as he clenched his fists.

"He is my ex but he is trying to make it right and I think he is very sorry for what he did." I responded trying to calm myself down.

"Sorry? You actually believe him? Bella! How can you be so naive, all he wants is to have another chance with you! I don't want him around" Edward yelled.

"Well he is my friend and I can choose if I want to see him or not, besides maybe you should think about what Tanya's motives are!" I said raising my voice.

"I keep telling you Bella, Tanya is a good employee, at least she isn't my ex." He demanded as he stalked into the office.

Tears started to fall from my eyes again as I stared at the kitchen. I didn't want to clean so I walked down the hall. Edward was in his office typing away at his computer. I knew he would be there all night. So I went into the bed room and cried. This was one of the biggest fights we had and I hated it. I hated knowing how Edward felt. I hated being mad at him but he had no right to tell me who to see. If Jake was my friend, I should be allowed to see him. I was mad Edward didn't see who Tanya actually was. I wish I could just cuddle with him but I knew I had every reason to be mad at him. I pulled the blankets over top of my cold body and cried myself to sleep.
