Damn it! I thought I had made myself pretty damn clear when I had ended it with Lauren, but apparently this girl just couldn't take a hint. I stood up and brushed the few wrinkles out of my clothes and Bella stood up, standing slightly behind me but still was leaning on the bed so as to not put too much pressure on her ankle.
"Lauren, what are you doing here?" I asked reaching around to grab Bella's hand, pulling her so that she was right against my back, and so that she didn't have to put too much weight on the sprain. She rested her other hand in between my shoulder blades and her chin against my left shoulder. This of course made my heart beat faster and really made my conversation with Lauren that much more difficult.
"Well it's just that you won't return my phone calls, and I was beginning to worry about you Eddy and then I come over here to check on my boyfriend and I see him with another girl on his bed. I mean don't you see the problem?" She asked as moved closer to me and Bella.
"Lauren, we broke up because you were cheating on me with Tyler. So I will ask again what you are doing here." I tighten my grip on Bella's hand, to reassure her that there was nothing to fear about Lauren.
"I would never cheat on you! Tyler was just at my house that morning to drop off something from his mom to mine. Eddy I love you, and I would never do something so cruel but I guess you would. You're the new girl aren't you? Ella or something like that?" I could tell she was lying; I had witnessed it so many times before. And I was starting to get very angry at her tone towards Bella; it was one thing for her to talk down to me but not Bella.
"Its Bella and she is my girlfriend. And despite what you think Lauren, I am not a moron. You and Tyler have been seeing each for the last two months. He spilled the beans; that boy cracks well under pressure." This was a lie, I never talked to Tyler but I knew that she would start talking if she thought I knew something.
"Well…I…he….and…..I. We weren't anything Eddy, not like you and I. Please Eddy, can you forgive me?" Lauren jutted out her lip making a puppy dog face and walked closer to me, placing her hand square against my chest. I grabbed her hand and pushed her away, and brought Bella around in front of me, wrapping my arms around her waist and supporting her weight.
"Listen closely Lauren, I am with Bella. End of story."
"But…You will be sorry Edward Cullen! You will be sorry that you ever left me!" She turned quickly and stormed out, pushing past Carlisle on her way out.
"Well you two seem to cause quite a number of problems." Said Carlisle as me made his way across the room. I helped Bella back onto the bed and Carlisle wrapped her bad ankle in the brace. "There, just make sure you leave the brace on for the next two weeks. And now I advise you two to head downstairs and join the rest of the family for breakfast." Carlisle walked out of the room, but not before turning and giving me one last warning look. I raised my hands in surrender, but once he was out of sight I turned back to Bella and placed both my hands on either side of her.
"Well I would say this has been a very eventful morning."
"By far the most action packed morning I have had in a long time. But you still owe me that kiss." God! How did I ever spend so much time with the she-devil herself, when there was such a perfect angel out there? I leaned down and let my lips connect with Bella's; her hands came up, one settling on my chest and the other around my neck. I pulled back a little, and Bella gave me the cutest puppy dog face.
"Hey now, do you want to get me in trouble again?" She giggled a little but then shook her head. "Good because I would like to be able to take you out on a date before I am thirty." I leaned back down and gave her one last peck before picking her up and carrying her down stairs to the kitchen. But when we arrived in the kitchen there was no one else there. "Hmmm, that's strange. I thought we were having breakfast." I put Bella down on a chair and went to the kitchen window to see if they were outside. Everyone was gathered around Bella's red truck, and this worried me. What had happened? Bella must have seen the look of confusion on my face because she hobbled her way over to the window to see what was going on.
"Edward, why is your family around my truck?" I was wondering the same thing myself, so I grabbed her hand and pulled her outside with me. As we made our way to the truck my family parted making a clear path to the car. "Oh my God!" Bella gasped, and I just grabbed her and brought her closer to my body. On the side of her truck was the word slut Lauren! God, why did she have to drag Bella into this? "Oh, no Charlie is going to kill me!"
