A/N: Here's another chapter. I'm trying to decide where this story is going to go. Is Eddie gonna lose Bella? Hmm...Only time will tell! ;)
Chapter 10:
EPOV
I once again woke with Bella in my arms. Remembering last night plus feeling the weight of her now made up my mind. I would be done with Tanya as soon as possible. I didn't care if I lost my job because of it. I wanted Bella and apparently she wanted me that way too. I loved it now that we'd settled some confusion and decided that we were in a relationship. I wouldn't have to hope and pray anymore that Bella wouldn't find another man. Now I was her man. I found myself smiling like an idiot.
I glanced over at the clock on the nightstand. 9am! Oh shit! I quickly manouvered out from under Bella and began to dress.
"Mmm, Edward?" Bella said, sitting up on her elbows. "What are you doing?"
Oh no...
"I, um...I have to work today and I over slept." I lied to her. I hated lying and soon I wouldn't have to anymore.
She sighed. "Alright. I hope you didn't miss your breakfast meeting."
I was confused. "Huh?" I asked her as I finished buttoning up my shirt and was now putting my shoes on.
She bit her lip. "I um...I saw you yesterday in at the breakfast buffet. You were with a girl. I'm guessing she's a collegue."
Fuck! She saw me with Tanya? Think bastard!
"Yeah." I said. I could feel sweat start to form on the back of my neck. "She's a collegue."
Bella stood up from the bed. The fact that she wasn't wearing any clothes didn't escape my attention. "Are you alright Edward?" She walked over to me and pressed a hand to my forehead. "You feel kind of warm."
I shrugged out from under her touch. "I'm fine." I said. Subject change, now! "I'll see you around six if that's okay."
She smiled and wrapped her arms around my torso. "I guess that's okay. But can you meet me here? I want to show you something." She bit her lip again. I bent my head down and kissed where she'd bit.
"I'd love that." I smiled at her and kissed her again, more passionatly now...
I walked quietly into me and Tayna's suite around 11am. She was sitting on the bed with the laptop on her lap. "Hey, Eddie-Poo!" She squealed, pushing the laptop off her lap and jumping into my arms. She wrapped her legs around my waist and kissed all over my face. I turned my head away from her and peeled her off of me.
"What's wrong, pookie?" She pouted.
"Nothing." I said sharply, then sighed. "Actually, I need to talk to you about something." I took her hand and lead her to the bed. I sat us both down on the edge. I opened my mouth to speak but Tanya beat me to it.
"I'm pregnant."
BPOV
I paced the room every now and then glancing at my cellphone checking the time and waiting for a call or text from Edward. It was now 6:45pm and Edward still wasn't here. I stood in the hotel with my swimsuit on, jean shorts and a tank top over it, no wig. I'd wanted to show Edward the real me. With out any make up or hair. I wanted to show him what I really looked like. And then, if by some miracle he didn't want to leave me, we would go to the beach for a night swim.
But he wasn't here and that made me nervous.
Out of my nervousness, I called Alice. "Hey, Bells." Jasper answered Alice's phone.
"Where's Al?" I asked.
"Oh, she went out to her mom's and forgot her phone." He explained. "Is something wrong?"
I sighed. "No, well yeah. Sort of."
"Ah-ha. Can I help?"
"I guess you could."
"Alright." He said. "What's the problem?"
I sighed and explained to him. "Well you know I'm here in Hawaii with Edward right? Well, we talked and decided that we're um...together." I smiled just thinking about it. But was nervous again. "And tonight he was supposed to meet tonight at 6 but its 6:45 now and he's still not here. What if he bailed on me?" I mumbled worriedly.
Jasper scoffed. "Bella. I'm sure he didn't bail on you. Why would he?"
"Because he thought I'm too much work, you know, with the lukemia and stuff."
"Bells, he's studying to be a doctor right? He's around sick people all the time. He did not bail. I promise."
I bit my lip. "Okay. I trust you."
"Anytime. So you're going to be back home Friday night?"
"Yep. That's the plan." Just then I heard someone fiddling with the lock on the suite door. "Edward's back. Talk to you soon!" I hung up the phone and threw it onto the bed. I straigtened my clothes and ran a hand over my bald head. I took a deep breath just at the door opened and Edward walked in.
"Hi, love. I'm sorry I-" He stopped mid sentence as he took in my appearance. I bit my lip nervously as his eyes went from my head to my toes. He crossed the room to me and cradled my face in his hands. "You're beautiful." He said softly. I felt tears of joy rise up in my eyes as he bent his head down to me and kissed my lips slowly but with a passion. He pulled away and rested his forehead on mine. "But we need to talk..."
A/N: Yeah, more drama and it's short. Whatever. Sorry. But maybe Eddie will tell Bella about Tanya! And this mystery pregnancy? Is it legit?
Reviews are 'my own personal brand of heroine'. Yeah, I did just do that. Ha!
